[0022] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0023] (Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a communication system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The communication system according to the first embodiment includes a server 1 (game server 1) and a communication terminal 2.

[0024] The server 1 includes a communication unit 10, a storage unit 11, and a control unit 12.

[0025] The communication unit 10 communicates with the communication terminal 2 at least wirelessly or via wired communication.

[0026] The storage unit 11 stores information related to items and item types to be provided to the communication terminal 2. Items are various items used in the game, such as a user's deck. The game consists of battle cards, characters, weapons, equipment, decorations, plants, food, etc. The item type may be a number indicating the rarity of the item, A number that indicates the category of the item. Below, item types are classified according to the rarity of the item. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

[0027] Specifically, the storage unit 11 stores item data 111 and item provision information data 112. is stored.

[0028] The item data 111 is data such as images relating to items provided to the user. The item identification information is stored in association with the item identification information in this system. An example of the item data 111 is shown in FIG. 2. As shown, for example, the item data includes the item identification information "ITM001", the item name "Item A", item image "Item A Image", attack power "1000", defense power "50 0", item type "3", item group "Group A". Attack and defense power is a parameter related to the strength of the item. Image data can be in JPEG, GIF, or PNG format. An item group can consist of multiple items. The control unit 12 selects one of the items to be provided by the lottery. Here, the items in group B are more likely to be included in the items in group A. This makes it more rare and valuable than other items.

[0029] The item provision information data 112 includes the number of times the server 1 provided an item to the communication terminal 2 and The information on the provided items is stored for each user identification information. The information data 112 includes user identification information, the number of times an item has been provided, and provided item identification information. The user identification information is a unique identifier for a user in this system. The number of times the item is provided is an identifier for the server 1 to communicate with each user identification information. The provided item identification information is the number of times the server 1 has provided an item to the terminal 2. The user identification information is item identification information relating to an item provided to the communication terminal 2. An example of the item provision information data 112 is shown in FIG. The data 112 includes, for example, user identification information "UID001", the number of times the item has been provided "50 times", Includes supplied item identification information "ITM002" and "ITM004".

[0030] The control unit 12 performs various controls related to the server 1. For example, the control unit 12 Receive a request for an item acquisition screen (hereinafter, "item acquisition screen request"). The user screen is a user interface for the communication terminal 2 to send an item acquisition request to the server 1. When a request for an item acquisition screen is received, the control unit 12 The data related to the screen is transmitted to the communication terminal 2 via the communication unit 10. The display screen request includes the user identification information of the communication terminal 2.

[0031] In addition, when the control unit 12 receives an item acquisition request from the communication terminal 2, the control unit 12 selects an item to be provided. Specifically, the control unit 12 controls a first lottery unit 121 and a second lottery unit 122. The control unit 12 responds to an item acquisition request from the communication terminal 2 and Then, the first selection means 121 or the second selection means 122 selects an item to be provided. The item acquisition request is classified into a first item acquisition request and a second item acquisition request. When the control unit 12 determines that the first item acquisition request has been received, the control unit 12 The item data 111 in the storage unit 11 and the item provision information data Refer to Data 112 and select the item group from among the items in group A that have not yet been provided. The control unit 12 then selects an item to be provided to the communication terminal 2. Specifically, the first lottery means 121 provides an item based on the item data 111. The item image corresponding to the item identification information related to the item to be provided is transmitted via the communication unit 10. Each time the control unit 12 provides an item to the communication terminal 2, the control unit 12 The control unit 12 adds 1 to the number of times the item is provided in the system provision information data 112. When an item is provided to the terminal 2, the item provision information data 112 includes information related to the item. The item identification information is recorded as a provided item identification information.

[0032] On the other hand, when the server 1 receives a second item acquisition request, the control unit 12 executes a second lottery. By the means 122, the item data 111 and the item provision information data 112 are referred to, The item group will be provided from among items in groups A and B that have not yet been provided. The second selection means 122 then selects the item to be distributed to the communication terminal 2. Specifically, the second lottery means 122 selects an item to be provided based on the item data 111. The item image corresponding to the item identification information of the item to be transferred is communicated through the communication unit 10. Send to terminal 2.

[0033] Here, the control unit 12 receives the number of times the item is provided in the item provision information data 112 in the storage unit 11. If the number of times is equal to or greater than the predetermined number, a second item acquisition request is sent on the item acquisition screen. Specifically, the control unit 12 controls the communication terminal 2 so that the terminal 2 can transmit. When a request for an item acquisition screen is received from the Based on the item providing information data 112 and the user identification information of the communication terminal 2, The control unit 12 acquires the number of times the item is provided. Then, the control unit 12 determines whether the number of times the item is provided is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (for example, 25 1 or more times) (i.e., the number of times the first lottery means 121 provides the item If the number of times is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, a second item acquisition request is made on the item acquisition screen. The second control unit 12 enables transmission (unlocks the transmission of the second item acquisition request). When it is determined that the number of times the item has been provided is less than a predetermined value, the following is displayed on the item acquisition screen: Disable sending a second item acquisition request (lock sending a second item acquisition request do).

[0034] The first lottery means 121 and the second lottery means 122 select randomly. Alternatively, a lottery may be performed based on a predetermined algorithm. 12, a rare item is selected from a predetermined item group (group A) by a first lottery means 121. The system provides users with some of the items of different values. The unit 12 determines, by the second lottery means 122, the number of items provided by the first lottery means 121. For users who have used a certain number of items or more, a certain item group (group A and group B) The second lottery method is to provide multiple types of items with different rarity values ​​from the A group. The first lottery will be held to select the items to be provided from the items in Group A and Group B. There is a high possibility of offering rarer items than those that can be provided through the means.

[0035] Figure 4(a) and (b) show examples of the item acquisition screen. Figure 4(a) shows the second item acquisition screen. An example of the item acquisition screen when sending an acquisition request is locked is shown in Figure 4(a).

As shown in the figure, the button 402b displays, for example, "Turn the gacha" and the second item is acquired. Indicates that the request is ready to be sent.

[0036] Preferably, the item acquisition screen is displayed for each item type related to the items included in group A. In addition, the item acquisition screen preferably includes remaining number information 403 of group A and group B. The server 1 includes remaining quantity information 404 for each item type related to the items included in the group. 12 is a provided item identification number of the item data 111 and the item provision information data 112 Based on the information, calculate the remaining number of items that can be provided to the user in each item group. In FIG. 4, the item data 403 and the remaining number information 404 are generated. 111 items are classified as N (normal) and UN (upper normal) from 1 to 4. Each item is labeled as "Rare", "Super Rare", and "Super Rare". The remaining numbers of the types are 35, 23, 12, and 5. The user selects a provision possibility for each of the first item acquisition request and the second item acquisition request. You can see the item type related to the item. Although the remaining number information 403 for each item type is included, this is not limited to this. For example, the remaining number information 40 In addition to 3, or instead of remaining quantity information 403, the number of items acquired for each item type The information may be displayed on the item acquisition screen. The total number of items included and the total number of items included in the entire B group are displayed. Furthermore, the display of information for each item type may be changed depending on the rarity. For example, if the rarity of the items included in each group is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the image The names of the characters depicted on the items and other information for each item type are listed. Also, for items whose rarity is less than a certain value, only the remaining number or the number of items acquired may be displayed. Alternatively, the information may be displayed for each system type.

[0037] Preferably, the item acquisition screen also includes deadline information 405 related to the item acquisition request. For example, in FIG. 4, the deadline is "December 31, 2013." In this case, the communication terminal 2 The first item acquisition request and the second item acquisition request can be transmitted until the deadline, and the server 1 The item acquisition request is received until the deadline, and the item is provided. The item acquisition screen includes in-game currency and other information 406 related to the first item acquisition request. For example, the in-game currency is called ribbons, and the number of ribbons you can acquire is determined by the completion of certain events in the game. Preferably, the first item acquisition request is a request for a predetermined number of rebates. The user can then send the request for payment.

[0038] Preferably, the item acquisition screen displays a lock screen related to the number of times an item can be provided until the lock is released. For example, in FIG. 4, the unlock information 407 includes “10 more times” The unlock information 407 allows the user to unlock the second item. The number of first item get requests required to send a first item get request can be known. Cut.

[0039] The communication terminal 2 includes a communication unit 20, a display unit 21, an operation unit 22, and a control unit 23.

[0040] The communication unit 20 communicates with the server 1 by at least one of wireless and wired communication. The communication unit 20 transmits an item acquisition screen to the server 1 based on the user's operation of the operation unit 22. The communication unit 20 also receives an item acquisition screen in response to the request from the server 1. The communication unit 20 also receives the data of the screen based on the operation of the operation unit 22 by the user. The communication unit 2 transmits a first item acquisition request or a second item acquisition request to the server 1. 0 is the item number for the first item acquisition request or the second item acquisition request from server 1. The program is provided.

[0041] The display unit 21 is configured with a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or the like, and is connected to the server 1. For example, the display unit 21 displays a game provided by the server 1. The display unit 21 displays an item image related to the item to be acquired. Display.

[0042] The operation unit 22 is configured with buttons, a touch panel, etc., and is used to input commands from the user in the game. The operation unit 22 receives the input signal from the user and transmits it to the control unit 2. Send to 3.

[0043] The control unit 23 performs various controls related to the communication terminal 2. For example, the control unit 23 Based on the operation of the operation unit 22, a request for an item acquisition screen, a first item acquisition request, or a second The item acquisition request 2 is transmitted to the server 1 via the communication unit 20.

[0044] Next, the communication system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The operation of the above will be explained.

[0045] First, the control unit 23 of the communication terminal 2 selects an item based on the operation of the operation unit 22 by the user. A request for a screen for obtaining a program is transmitted to the server 1 via the communication unit 20 (step S1).

[0046] Next, when the control unit 12 of the server 1 receives an item acquisition screen request from the communication terminal 2, , user identification information and item provision information data 112 included in the item acquisition screen request Based on the above, the number of times the item is provided related to the user identification information of the communication terminal 2 is acquired. The unit 12 determines whether the number of times the item has been provided is equal to or greater than a predetermined number of times (step S2). When it is determined that the number of times the item has been provided is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (for example, equal to or greater than 25 times) (step S2 Yes), unlock the item acquisition screen from sending a second item acquisition request Then, the control unit 12 transmits the item acquisition screen via the communication unit 10. The data related to the control in step S2 is transmitted to the communication terminal 2 (step S5). When the control unit 12 determines that the number of times the item has been provided is less than a predetermined value (step S2 ), and locking the transmission of the second item acquisition request on the item acquisition screen (step S4), proceed to step S5, and transmit data related to the item acquisition screen to the communication terminal 2. .

[0047] Next, the display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2 displays the received item acquisition screen (step Then, the control unit 23 selects the first item based on the user's operation of the operation unit 22. The acquisition request or the second item acquisition request is transmitted to the server 1 via the communication unit 20 (step Step S7).

[0048] Next, the control unit 12 of the server 1 determines whether the item acquisition request received from the communication terminal 2 is a first Determine whether the request is an item acquisition request or a second item acquisition request (step If it is determined that the request is a first item acquisition request (Yes in step S8), the control unit 12, the first lottery means 121 selects the item data 111 and the item Refer to the provision information data 112, and select an item group that has not been provided from among group A. An item to be provided to the communication terminal 2 is selected from the items (step S9). The unit 12 provides the item to the communication terminal 2 (step S11).

[0049] On the other hand, if it is determined in step S8 that the request is not the first item acquisition request (the second item acquisition request If it is determined that the request is for acquiring an item (NO in step S8), the control unit 12 The second lottery means 122 selects the item data 111 and the item provision information data 112. Refer to the above and select the items to be provided from among the items in Group A and Group B that have not yet been provided. Then, in step S11, the control unit 12 The item is provided to the communication terminal 2.

[0050] Next, the control unit 12 stores the provided item in the storage unit 11 as provided item identification information. The control unit 12 records the item provision information data 112 in the first lottery means 121. When an item is provided by lottery, the item provision information data 112 in the memory unit 11 is The number of times the item has been provided is incremented by 1 (step S12), and the process ends.

[0051] In this way, according to the present invention, the control unit 12 of the server 1 controls the first lottery means 121 and the second lottery means 122. The second lottery means 122 is provided to select the item by the first lottery means 121. For users who have provided items a certain number of times or more, multiple items with different rarity values ​​will be given out by lottery. This allows for more variety in the methods of acquiring match cards, etc. The second lottery means 122 can select items that are rarer than the items that can be provided by the first lottery means. Since there is a high possibility of providing high-value items, it is highly likely that rare cards will be acquired. This can increase interest in the game.

[0052] Preferably, the first item acquisition request can be made once a day for free, and the second and subsequent requests are free. In this case, the server 1 may further transmit the game game data to the communication terminal 1. 2 at any time. The request is generally a request to reset the item provision information data 112. When the control unit 12 of the server 1 receives a reset request from the communication terminal 2, the control unit 12 of the server 1 The control unit 12 resets the number of times the item has been provided corresponding to the user identification information to 0. In this way, for example, in the first item acquisition request, If there are no more items in Group A to be drawn, the items provided in Group A will be Reset the system information and enjoy games for free. can be maintained.

[0053] In this embodiment, the condition for unlocking the transmission of the second item acquisition request is The number of times the first lottery means 121 provides the item is set to a predetermined number of times or more, but is not limited to this. Any condition can be set for unlocking the device. For example, the first predetermined period (for example, The number of times that the first selection means 121 provides the item is equal to or greater than a predetermined number of times within a period of, for example, 30 days. If so, the control unit 12 of the server 1 determines whether the item can be provided by the second lottery means 122. In addition, for example, the first selection means 121 may select a predetermined number of days ( If the number of lottery tickets continues for, for example, 7 days, the control unit 12 of the server 1 selects a lottery ticket by the second lottery means 122. Further, for example, a specific item may be provided by the first lottery means 121. When the winning item is provided, the control unit 12 of the server 1 selects a second lottery winner. Items may be provided by the stage 122. This can increase interest in the game.

[0054] In addition, the control unit 12 of the server 1 determines the period during which the item can be provided by the second lottery means 122. may be limited to a certain period (for example, one day).

[0055] The second selection means 122 selects items from group A and group B. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second selection means 122 may select items only from group B. By doing so, the second lottery means 122 may select the group A more than the group B. Since items will be drawn only from group B, which contains rarer items, It is possible to increase the predictability of acquiring high-value cards and increase interest in the game. do.

[0056] In the first embodiment, the item groups are divided into two groups, A and B. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and three or more groups may exist. For example, three groups are If present, the control unit 12 of the server 1 further includes a third lottery means. When the number of times of provision becomes equal to or greater than the second predetermined number of times, the third lottery means selects a group C ( Items will be drawn from Group A and Group B. In this case, Group C will be Group B contains items that are more rare than Group B. By doing this, Increasing the variety of ways to obtain cards, etc., and improving the prediction of obtaining rare cards, etc. It can improve your sexuality and interest in the game.
