Play extension system and program for the same
The present invention provides a play extension system enhancing a fun of a toy system by use of network. The play extension system is used by combination with the toy system in which a user can change the setting of parameters affecting motion control of a driving machine, for extending a playing method with the toy system. In the system, the setting information corresponding to the setting state of the parameters is received from a predetermined user terminal through a network, and estimation on the obtained setting information is created by referring to a database which stores the setting information and the information for estimating the setting state correspondingly. The created estimation is transmitted to a predetermined destination through the network.

6 . A play extension system to be used by combination with a toy system in which a user can change setting of parameters affecting motion control of a driving machine, comprising:
an electronic information providing device for providing a user terminal operated by each user with electronic information for displaying on a screen of the user terminal a state of a game virtually reproducing a play with the driving machine in the toy system, upon receipt of access from a plurality of users through a predetermined network;
a game result storing device for storing a result of the game, which is displayed on the screen of each user terminal, so as to be associated with information specifying the user;
a privilege issuing device for issuing a predetermined privilege at least to some user, referring to the result of the game stored in the game result storing device; and
a privilege notifying device for transmitting information associated with the privilege to a destination corresponding to a privileged user, wherein
in the game based on the electronic information provided by the electronic information providing device, a user's setting operation of the same type of parameter as a user's settable type of parameter in the toy system is required and the set parameter affects the result of the game.
7 . The play extension system according to claim 6 , wherein
the parameter to be input in the game affects a motion characteristic of a driving machine appearing in the game and the result of the game varies depending on the motion characteristic.
8 . The play extension system according to claim 6 , wherein
the privilege issuing device specifies a user who has obtained the game result equal to or superior to a predetermined level, referring to the stored game result, and issues the privilege to the specified user.
9 . The play extension system according to claim 8 , wherein
the privilege issuing device issues an entry right to a specified meeting using the toy system as the privilege, and
the privilege notifying device transmits the information for notifying the issue of the entry right, to the destination, together with the information on an entry condition of the meeting, as the information on the privilege.
10 . The play extension system according to claim 9 , wherein
the game result storing device stores the result of the game so as to be associated with the parameter input by the user, and the privilege notifying device transmits the information specifying the parameter stored by the game result storing device correspondingly to the game result which has generated the entry right to the meeting, as the information on the entry condition to the meeting.

12 . A program for constructing a play extension system by one or a plurality of servers of a Web site, which system is used by combination with a toy system in which a user can change setting of parameters affecting motion control of a driving machine, wherein
the program for a play extension system is designed to work the server as:
an electronic information providing device for providing a user terminal operated by each user with electronic information for displaying on a screen of the user terminal a state of a game virtually reproducing a play with the driving machine in the toy system, upon receipt of access from a plurality of users through a predetermined network;
a game result storing device for storing a result of the game, which is displayed on the screen of each user terminal so as to be associated with information specifying the user;
a privilege issuing device for issuing a predetermined privilege at least to some user, referring to the result of the game stored in the game result storing device; and
a privilege notifying device for transmitting information associated with the privilege to a destination corresponding to a privileged user, and
in the game based on the electronic information provided by the electronic information providing device, a user's setting operation of the same type of parameter as a user's settable type of parameter in the toy system is required and the set parameter affects the result of the game.
