DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those marked with the same symbol have the same or similar configuration.

[0012] (Configuration of Game System 1) FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a game system 1 according to the present embodiment. The system 1 includes a server 10 (game server) and a plurality of user terminals 20 (user terminal 20a, The server 10 and the user terminal 20 include: via communication lines such as the Internet, intranet, wireless LAN, or mobile communications5 The server 10 is also referred to as an "information processing device" of the present invention. It works.

[0013] In this embodiment, the user terminals 20a, 20b, and 20c are used. The users who are to be the users U1, U2, and U3 are respectively. If there is no need to distinguish between user U1, user U2, and user U3, The user U and the user U3 are represented as users U and U4, respectively.

[0014] In addition, it is necessary to distinguish between the user terminal 20a, the user terminal 20b, and the user terminal 20c. If not required, the user terminals 20a, 20b, and 20c are each Here, the terminal 20 is referred to as a user terminal.

[0015] The number of user terminals 20 included in the game system 1 is not limited to three, and at least one It is sufficient to have one or more user terminals 20.

[0016] The user terminal 20 is an information processing terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. A game is provided to the user U. The user U operates the user terminal 20 to play the game. The user terminal 20 may be, for example, a mobile device. Telephones, personal computers (PCs), notebook PCs, personal digital assistants (PDAs) Sonal Digital Assistant, home gaming devices, etc. The user terminal 20 may be a GPS (Global Positioning System) terminal. The location of the vehicle is detected by using a GPS system or the like, and is notified to the server 10. That's fine.

[0017] The server 10, for example, manages various information related to the user U and performs some processing of the game. A device that performs some of the functions of the user terminal 20 in providing a game, such as executing The server 10 may be configured as one or more information processing devices, or may be a virtual It may be configured using a general-purpose server (such as a cloud server).

[0018] (Game Overview) Next, an overview of the games provided by the game system 1 will be described. In this game, user U selects a character from among the multiple characters he owns. By clearing quests using a deck you've created, you can acquire new characters. User U can obtain characters and items. By combining data, you can make your character stronger, and by using items, you can improve your character's abilities. By strengthening your attributes, you can take on more difficult quests.

[0019] Here, a quest is a task that can be cleared by meeting certain predefined conditions. Quests are generally referred to as explorations, challenges, and missions. A user U who participates in a quest can complete the quest by fulfilling certain conditions. When a quest is completed, the user U is given a reward or can use the game. The story of the game progresses.

[0020] A deck is a term that refers to a group of multiple characters. When performing a quest, U selects a character with the appropriate abilities to clear the quest. Select Kuta, organize your deck, and carry out the quest.

[0021] In this embodiment, the user U's "executing" a quest or the like is referred to as "quest play." By playing the game, the user U can receive rewards such as the number of times a quest is cleared. A user rank, which is a status value of user U, is assigned to user U and increases accordingly.

[0022] A quest can be performed jointly by multiple users U. The joint execution of a task by multiple users U is called "multiplay." In multiplay, Each user U selects the character assigned to him / her from among the multiple characters that make up the deck. The user U who convenes the multiplayer game is called the host.

[0023] User U changes his / her character at various times during the game (e.g., when he / she clears a quest). In addition, the user U can obtain any game medium (key) in the game. A user U can hold a lottery (draw a lottery) to win a character or item. By participating in a lottery, you can receive (acquire) any game medium. The act of drawing lots to win a game media is also called "gacha." is the act of spending in-game value (currency) or receiving in-game items in the game. The lottery can be held by consuming a lottery ticket, which is a system. If the rank is an "orb", for example, one lottery can be drawn by spending five orbs.

[0024] In this embodiment, each game medium has a rarity degree corresponding to the probability of winning the lottery. (Rarity) is given. Rarity is set from level 1 to level 3, for example. Level 1 has the highest probability of winning, followed by Level 2 and Level 3. It becomes lower.

[0025] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a home screen displayed on the display unit 24 of the user terminal 20. As shown in FIG. The home screen shown in FIG. 2 is displayed when a user U starts a game after logging in to the game. Each screen described below is a game screen transmitted from the server 10 to the user terminal 20. It is displayed based on the display data.

[0026] The home screen displays a game button 40 and lottery buttons 42 and 43. When the user U presses the game button 40, a screen for playing the game (not shown) appears. The lottery button is displayed and the user U can play the game. When the button 42 is pressed, the user U consumes in-game value (currency) or You can enter the lottery by using a lottery ticket (an in-game item) that you receive in the game. Specifically, when the lottery button 42 is pressed, a lottery is executed. Then, a screen showing the lottery results is displayed.

[0027] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a lottery result screen displayed on the display unit 24 of the user terminal 20. The lottery result screen shown in FIG. 3 is displayed when the lottery button 42 is pressed on the home screen shown in FIG. The lottery result screen is displayed when the lottery is executed. The image 50, the name and rarity 52, the back button 44, etc. are displayed.

[0028] Image 50, name and rarity 52 are the acquisition keys acquired by user U through a lottery. The character's image, name and rarity are displayed. When the back button 44 is then pressed, the home screen shown in FIG. 2 is displayed.

[0029] When the user U presses the lottery button 43 on the home screen shown in FIG. A user can run a lottery before spending value (e.g., currency) (deferred payment method) Specifically, when the lottery button 43 is pressed, a lottery is executed and the lottery result is displayed. A screen will be displayed for you to select the game medium you have won in the lottery (corresponding to the "bonus" of this invention; hereinafter , also called benefits) is associated with user U in a state where user U is unavailable and is stored in server 1. 0. Note that rewards are items that can be used in the game (for example, Valuable items that can be exchanged for items, etc. (For example, holding a lottery for virtual currency that can be used in a game, or items, etc. within the game) Items required for playing the game. They can also be enjoyed temporarily during the game. A special benefit may be a useful effect (for example, an effect of increasing a character's status value). stomach.

[0030] Then, the user U consumes the value within a predetermined period (e.g., one month) to The user U can receive (acquire) the prize won in the lottery in a usable state. For example, when the lottery is held, the user U determines that the amount of value held by the user U is a predetermined amount (amount of the user U who will receive the benefit). If the amount of value held by user U is less than the minimum amount that can be received (e.g., If the amount of orbs is less than 5, a lottery may be held on a deferred basis. If the value is not consumed by user U within a certain period, the reward for user U will be In other words, even if the value is consumed after a certain period of time has passed, user U will not be able to use the The prize you won cannot be received in a usable state.

[0031] When a user U performs multiple lotteries using the deferred payment method, the user consumes value. Therefore, in principle, the order of the entries associated with user U (i.e. the order in which the lottery was performed) is followed. You can then receive the prize you have won in the lottery.

[0050] FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the control unit 11 included in the server 10 in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 11 includes, as its functional components, a lottery execution unit 11a, The device includes a controller 11b (corresponding to the "controller" of the present invention) and a display controller 11c. Generally, the control unit 11 of the server 10 has various functions other than those described above. Only the characteristic functions of the game system 1 in this embodiment will be described. Other known functions and the like will not be illustrated or described.

[0051] The lottery execution unit 11a executes the lottery execution when the user U presses the lottery button 43 on the home screen shown in FIG. If so, a lottery (gacha) is held to determine the reward (e.g., character) to be associated with user U. ) to be associated with the user U. For example, a lottery (gacha) is held to determine the character.

[0052] In this embodiment, after the lottery button 43 is pressed, the lottery execution unit 11a executes a lottery for the user U. By allowing players to choose between 1-solo or 10-solo (10 times the number of 1-solo) Therefore, a request to execute a lottery is accepted. Then, the lottery execution unit 11a receives a request to execute a lottery. When the number of associations is selected, a lottery is performed to determine one reward to be associated with user U. On the other hand, when the association number of 10 is selected, the lottery execution unit 11a A prize draw will be held to determine the 10 prizes that will be awarded.

[0053] The privilege control unit 11b determines whether the user U can use the privilege determined by the lottery and whether the user U can confirm the privilege. If possible, the user U is associated with the privilege and temporarily stored (saved) in the storage unit 12. The unit 11b stores a privilege that can be temporarily stored in the storage unit 12 in association with the user U. The number of the user U is varied depending on the parameters of the user U (e.g., the user rank). For example, the privilege control unit 11b may store the user U's rank in association with the user U as the user rank increases. To increase the number of benefits that can be memorized.

[0054] In addition, the lottery execution unit 11a is temporarily stored in the storage unit 12 in association with the user U. If the number of prizes to be awarded exceeds a predetermined number, the execution of the lottery using the deferred payment system may be stopped. The privilege control unit 11b controls the privilege that is temporarily stored in the storage unit 12 in association with the user U. If the number of entries exceeds a predetermined number, then a lottery is run to find new entries to associate with user U. Each time a special benefit is generated, the special benefit is stored in the storage unit 12. One of the already stored rewards in a given order (e.g., newest association first, oldest association first) You can delete them in the following order.

[0055] The benefit control unit 11b, when a lottery is executed to determine one benefit to be associated with the user U, In this case, the value of one unit (e.g., paid transaction) is acquired by a user U within a given period (e.g., one month). By consuming the 1000 yen (currency), the user U can use one benefit. The privilege control unit 11b, when a lottery is executed to determine 10 privileges to be associated with the user U, In this case, the value of 10 units (e.g., paid items) is purchased by user U within a given period (e.g., one month). By consuming the currency, the user U can use 10 rewards. If the value is not consumed by the user U within a predetermined period, the control unit 11b notifies the user U The privilege control unit 11b cancels the privilege association with the user U. If a lottery is held to determine 0 rewards, the user U may purchase 1 reward (e.g., Each time paid currency is consumed, user U may be able to use one benefit.

[0056] The display control unit 11c receives a request to display a benefit (character) associated with the user U. If so, what benefits are associated with user U, and the order in which they were associated with user U? The following is displayed.

[0057] FIG. 7 is an example of a benefit display screen displayed on the display unit 24 of the user terminal 20. As shown, the reward display screen displays five rewards (character 60) associated with user U. , 61, 62, 63, 64, 65) and the order in which the benefits are associated with user U are displayed. By referring to the benefit display screen shown in FIG. The benefits associated with the user U can be easily understood when the user U is not available. Then, the user U checks the contents of the benefit associated with the user U and selects whether the benefit will be available for a certain period of time. The decision can be made within a certain time frame whether or not to consume the value.

[0058] The display control unit 11c determines the order in which the privileges are associated with the user U and the timing of the association. The type of event (specifically, lottery) (e.g., a limited-time lottery campaign) The information may be displayed.

[0059] FIG. 8 is an example of a benefit display screen displayed on the display unit 24 of the user terminal 20. As shown in the figure, the reward display screen displays the event ( Lottery) type information (Campaign A, Campaign B) and user information for each event type The order in which the privileges are associated with the user U is displayed. The user U can view the privilege display screen shown in FIG. By referring to the page, you can get 5 benefits in Campaign A (specific characters are Unconfirmable) is associated with user U, and three rewards (specific It is easy to understand that a character (whose physical character cannot be confirmed) is associated with user U. Then, user U can select either campaign A or campaign B. By consuming value through the campaign, the user U can earn the associated The privileges that are reserved can be made available to user U.

[0060] The privilege control unit 11b is associated with the user U in a state in which the privilege obtained by lottery cannot be used. After the user U receives the reward, the conditions for making the reward available to the user U are determined based on the associated order. Control the matter.

[0061] The privilege control unit 11b executes a lottery multiple times to determine one privilege to be associated with the user U. When a user U purchases a token, the value of one token (e.g., a valid token) is calculated by dividing the value of the token by the value of the token by the value of the token. In principle, the order associated with user U (the lottery draw) is determined by consuming the currency of the lottery. The user U is then able to use the benefit according to the order in which the requests were received.

[0062] For example, the benefit control unit 11b controls the use of a first benefit associated with the first timing. After the condition for enabling the association is satisfied, the association is performed at a second timing that is later than the first timing. The control unit 100 controls whether or not a condition for making the second benefit available is satisfied.

[0063] The privilege control unit 11b executes a lottery multiple times to determine one privilege to be associated with the user U. If a user U receives a token, the value of more than one token (e.g., 1 unit) will be calculated by the user U within a certain period (e.g., 1 month). For example, a paid currency is consumed, resulting in an exceptional order associated with user U. The user U is allowed to use the benefit regardless of the order in which the lottery was drawn.

[0064] For example, the privilege control unit 11b may assign a privilege to the user U first in the order associated with the user U. The benefits associated with user U after the associated benefits are available to user U. The value required to make the reward available is greater than the previously associated reward. Thus, user U can, for example, purchase a reward by consuming a reward of greater value than the previously associated reward. The rewards associated with user U later are not associated with the rewards that were externally associated with user U. It can be made available to user U.

[0065] The privilege control unit 11b determines whether or not the user U needs to consume value in order to make the privilege available to the user U. The longer the period of time required, the larger the consumption amount of the value. When the user U consumes a value equivalent to the extension fee for a predetermined period (say In other words, if the amount of value consumed by user U to make the benefit available becomes large, In this case, the predetermined period is extended. This allows the user U to obtain value within the predetermined period. If it is difficult to consume the product, you can consume the value equivalent to the extension fee for the specified period. , the specified period can be extended.

[0066] When the amount of value consumed is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount, the privilege control unit 11b The user U can select the benefits that he / she wants to use from the benefits that he / she has selected, and the amount of value consumed is controlled. If the amount is less than the predetermined amount, the reward associated with the user U is available for use. The user U is controlled so that the user U cannot select the benefit. This prevents the user U from receiving a value of a predetermined amount or more. By consuming, the user U can exceptionally consume the desired special order without following the order associated with the special order. The user U can arbitrarily select a library and make it available to the user.

[0067] FIG. 9 shows a lottery process for a deferred payment system performed by the server 10 in this embodiment (the "information" of the present invention). 1 is a flowchart showing an example of a method for processing information.

[0068] First, the lottery execution unit 11a executes a lottery to determine a privilege (character) to be associated with the user U. A request to execute (gacha) is accepted (step S100).

[0069] Next, the lottery execution unit 11a executes a lottery to determine a privilege (character) to be associated with the user U. is executed (step S110).

[0070] Next, the benefit control unit 11b performs a step S110 to determine whether or not the user has received the benefit. The user U is temporarily stored in the storage unit 12 in a state where the user U is unavailable and can be confirmed. The information is stored in memory (step S120).

[0071] Next, the privilege control unit 11b determines whether or not the user U has received a value ( For example, it is determined whether or not a paid currency has been consumed (step S130). If the value is not consumed within the predetermined period (step S130, NO), the server 10 ends the lottery process shown in FIG. 9 without making the privilege available to the user U. do.

[0072] On the other hand, if the value is consumed within the predetermined period (step S130, YES), the reward control unit 11b indicates a state in which the user U can use the benefit based on the order associated with the user U. (Step S140). When the process of step S140 is completed, the server Step 10 ends the lottery process shown in FIG.

[0073] As described above in detail, in this embodiment, the server 10 (information processing device) The bonus control unit 11b controls the user in a state where the bonus obtained by lottery cannot be used. After being associated with user U, user U can use the benefits based on the associated order. Controls the conditions under which a state is possible.

[0074] According to the present embodiment configured as above, the benefits are assigned based on the order in which the benefits are associated with the user U. The conditions under which the user U can use the benefit are controlled by the lottery. Inappropriate situations where users' use of the benefits offered by the service is unfairly advantageous, specifically, benefits obtained by lottery A user U who has participated in a pre-paid lottery must consume value before the reward to be awarded is determined. In comparison, deferred payment methods require you to consume value after the prize you will receive is determined by lottery. This can prevent the occurrence of a situation in which the user U who performed the lottery has an unfair advantage. In this way, the prize obtained in the lottery is associated with user U before the user U pays the lottery fee. This will prevent situations in which a party can gain an advantage without paying a price.

[0075] In the above embodiment, the bonus control unit 11b is a recipient of the bonus obtained by lottery. When the value is consumed by a user U, the user U can use the benefit. However, the present invention is not limited to this. By consuming value by user U who is not the intended recipient of the rewards obtained through the selection, The user U who is the recipient of the benefit may be able to use the benefit.
