The total number of times the game was played, the total number of times the game was played, the total number of times the regular game and the special game were played, etc. It may include.

[0048] The information D3 on the game media owned by each player 3 is information on the game media owned by each player 3. For example, information about the acquisition history of each game content owned (such as the person who acquired the game content owned) (including information such as the law, acquisition date and time, and ownership period), characteristic data D3a for each game medium owned, Data on usage of game media owned by each layer 3 (D3b, D3c), and This includes information such as the total number of game media owned by each player 3 (see FIG. 6).

[0049] The information D3 about the owned game media is linked to the player ID of the owner. In addition, information D3 about the game media owned by each player 3 is managed for each player 3. For example, When a third party acquires a game medium by any method, the third party may purchase the game medium from a third party. The ID of the game content is assigned to the player, and the information of the game content is stored in the player information storage unit 222. As a result, the player ID and the game media ID are associated with each other, and each game media owned by each player 3 is Each player 3 may own multiple game media of the same type. In this case, the player ID, the game medium ID, and the same type of game ID may be stored. Each game medium owned by each player 3 is uniquely associated with an identification number for distinguishing the medium. In addition, each player 3 may be able to specify the game. When a game medium is acquired, a new identification ID based on the player ID and the ID of the game medium is generated. Based on the issued identification ID, the game media owned by each player 3 can be identified. It may be possible to do so.

[0050] The method of obtaining the game medium is not particularly limited. For example, the game medium can be obtained through gacha. Lottery methods such as these, rewards for clearing a game, paid or free consumption within the game The game media is given to the player 3 through exchange with other media, synthesis of two or more game media, etc. This is also fine.

[0051] FIG. 8A shows an example of the characteristic data D3a of the owned game media. The information that shows the growth level of each game medium owned (such as character level), attack power, defense Information on parameters according to the degree of growth, such as strength and stamina, which each game medium has already acquired The characteristic data D3 may include information about the skills of the game. When the characteristics of the media are updated according to the results of use in the game (for example, when the game media is This is data that is recorded when the characteristics of the game media are updated. In the case of a game specification in which the player is not required to play the game, the characteristic data D3a as shown in FIG. It does not have to be stored in the storage unit 222 .

[0052] The data on the usage status of the owned game media is stored in the This information is determined (accumulated) for each player 3. The data on unused game media includes the evaluation targets that will be evaluated when identifying unused game media, as described below. and statistical data D3c related to the evaluation target data D3b. The evaluation target data D3b is a numerical value representing the degree of use or the degree of non-use. "Degree of use" refers to the degree to which each owned game medium is used in a game by the owner, Player 3. The degree of non-use refers to the degree to which each game medium is used by the player who owns it. 3 means the degree of unused state in the game. Identifying unused game media When evaluating the degree of use, both the numerical value representing the degree of use and the numerical value representing the degree of non-use are included in the evaluation data D3. It may also be used as b.

[0053] The data shown in FIG. 8B is an example of data related to the usage status of owned game content. In B, the evaluation data is "number of times used" and "information about number of times used" which indicate the degree of use. The ranking of each game medium owned, the "period of non-use" which indicates the degree of non-use, and the "period of non-use" which indicates the degree of non-use The evaluation target data D3 showing the degree of usage is shown as an example. The larger the value of b or the higher the level (rank), the higher the degree of use. The evaluation target data D3b representing the degree of non-use is a large value or a high level (ranking). The higher the degree of non-use, the higher the

[0054] As the evaluation target data D3b representing the degree of use or non-use, in addition to the example shown in FIG. The selection probability of each owned game medium when playing a game, and the selection probability of each owned game medium Rankings and usage indices calculated based on frequency of use and / or duration of non-use The player information storage unit 222 stores at least one type of evaluation target data 3 Db is stored, and multiple types of evaluation target data D3b may be stored.

[0055] The "non-use period" refers to the period during which each owned game medium is not used in a game. , acquisition date and time (date and time when the owner, Player 3, acquired each game medium) or last use From the date and time of use (the date and time when the owner, Player 3, last used each game medium) to the current date For owned game media that has never been used since acquisition, The period from the acquisition date to the current date and time can be calculated as the unused period of the owned game medium. For owned game media that have been used at least once in the past, The period up to the time of residence may be calculated as the period of non-use of the owned game media.

[0056] In addition, the "selection probability" refers to the probability of selecting the owned game media to be used in the game when the game is executed. In this case, it means the probability that each owned game medium will be selected by the player 3 who owns it. This selection probability may be calculated based on, for example, the following (1) or (2). From the viewpoint of accurately calculating the selection probability, it is preferable to adopt (2). (1) Selection probability (%) = (number of times each game medium has been used / total number of times each game medium has been used) total)×100 (2) Selection probability (%) = (number of times each game medium has been used / number of times the game medium is owned during the ownership period) (total number of times that player 3 has played the game) x 100

[0057] In addition, the "ranking" of each owned game medium is determined by dividing the owned game medium into certain numerical data (number of times used). , non-use period, selection probability) in descending order (highest number of uses, longest period of non-use, selection probability) The ranking may be in ascending order (in ascending order of frequency of use, in descending order of frequency of use, in descending order of frequency of use, in ascending order of frequency of use, in ascending order of frequency of use, in ascending order of frequency of use, in descend ... The order may be in descending order (in descending order of the period of use, in descending order of the selection probability). The ranking of frequency of use, the ranking of selection probability in descending order, and the ranking of non-use period in ascending order are Since a higher degree of use indicates a higher level (rank), Conversely, the order of frequency of use in ascending order, the order of selection probability in ascending order, and the order of The ranking of non-use periods shown in indicates a higher level (rank) for the higher degree of non-use. This corresponds to evaluation target data D3b that indicates the degree.

[0058] The "usage index" is a function of the number of uses and / or periods of non-use and at least one other The numerical value is calculated using the data. Other data includes, for example, The ownership period of the game medium (the period from the acquisition date to the current date and time), Login history, total number of games played, usage statistics, and inactivity statistics Metering, the total number of game media owned by each player 3, and the number of games each player can own The number of media (the limit value of the number of possessions) in the player information storage unit 222. The data on game media usage includes other data such as those listed above. The "statistics" may be, for example, a total value. , mean, median, mode, minimum, and maximum. These statistics are The population is based on the number of times each game medium is used or the period of non-use of each game medium. Calculated for each layer 3.

[0059] The aforementioned selection probability is also a usage index that indicates the degree of usage, and usage indexes other than selection probability Examples of the use of the above-mentioned methods include the following (1) to (12). The situation index is merely an example, and the usage index includes expressions other than (1) to (12). To be rare. (1) Usage index (unit: days) = period of non-use - login interval (2) Usage index (unitless) = period of non-use / period of ownership (3) Usage index (unit: days) = non-use period - statistics on non-use period (average value, (median, mode, etc.) (4) Usage index (unitless) = Non-use period / statistics on non-use period (total, average) (e.g. mean, median, or mode) (5) Usage index (unitless) = maximum period of non-use / period of non-use (6) Usage index (unitless) = Ranking of non-use period / Total number of game media owned (7) Usage index (unitless) = Ranking of non-use period / Ownership limit (8) Usage index (unit: number of times) = number of times used - statistics on number of times used (average, median value, or mode, etc.) (9) Usage index (unitless) = Number of uses / Statistics related to number of uses (total, average) , median, or mode, etc.) (10) Usage index (unitless) = maximum number of uses / number of uses (11) Usage index (unitless) = Ranking by frequency of usage / Total number of game media owned (12) Usage index (unitless) = ranking of number of times used / ownership limit

[0060] FIG. 8C is an example of the statistical data D3c. The statistical data D3c is a game owned by each player 3. The evaluation target data D3b of the game medium is used as a population, and the information is calculated for each player 3. As shown in FIG. 8C, the statistical data D is managed in association with the player ID. 3c is statistics on the total number of game media owned by each player 3 and the number of times they have been used, and Statistics on non-use periods may also be included, as well as ranking statistics, number of uses, etc. The frequency distribution of the number of cases, the frequency distribution of the non-use period, the relative frequency of each frequency distribution, and the cumulative relative frequency are included. It may be included.

[0061] The statistical data D3c may be used to calculate the usage index as described above. It may also be used as a discrimination criterion, which will be described later.

[0062] When a deck is organized and a game is played, the player information storage unit 22, as shown in FIG. Each player 3 may select multiple game media from among the game media he or she owns. When you select a number of game media and organize a deck, an ID is assigned to the organized deck and the The layer information is stored in the layer information storage unit 222. The deck information D4 thus stored includes the deck The name of the deck, the ID of the player who organized the deck, and the The date and time the deck was created, the ID of each game medium that makes up the deck, and the usage status of each deck The deck information D4 may include data related to the deck. The total, average, and other statistics of the evaluation data D3b for each game medium owned are included. It's fine.

[0063] The storage unit 220 includes the game information storage unit 221 and the player information storage unit 222. , information regarding at least one discrimination criterion, and at least one bonus information.

[0064] The discrimination criteria are the criteria for identifying unused game media, and are the conditions for granting benefits described below. The discrimination criteria are set according to the type of evaluation target data D3b. For example, When the value object data D3b indicates the degree of use, the discrimination criterion is between unused game media and other The standard value for distinguishing between owned game media and non-owned game media can be modified by adding "less than" or "less than" to the standard value. On the other hand, when the evaluation target data D3b indicates the degree of non-use, the discrimination criterion is the non-use gate. The threshold for distinguishing between game media owned by users and other game media owned by users is set to "above" or "exceeds" It is set by modifying

[0065] In addition, unused game media may be identified by using two types of evaluation target data D3b. In this case, the criteria are "used less than 10 times and not used for 10 days or more." ", the two types of evaluation target data D3b are represented using two reference values ​​corresponding to each of them. In addition, the criteria for distinction include the fact that unused owned game media are excluded from the scope of unused game media. Conditions have been added that would make the game eligible for the bonus (for example, excluding games that have been used 0 times) Good too.

[0066] The discrimination criteria may be common to all players 3 or may be unique to each player 3. It may be an individual standard set for each player 3 depending on the usage of the game medium. Criteria common to all players 3 could be, for example, "less than 10 uses" and "unused." A standard that applies uniformly to all players 3, such as "the period of use is 10 days or more" On the other hand, individual standards are determined for each player 3, such as the statistics shown in Figure 8C. Criteria that use numerical values, such as "usage frequency is less than the average" or "usage frequency is ranked "Below the median of the ranking statistics", "Duration of non-use exceeds the average value", and "Ranking of non-use periods This applies to criteria such as "is greater than or equal to the median of the rank statistic."

[0067] When a common discrimination criterion is set for all players 3, the calculation process is simple, but Depending on the threshold you set, the number of owned game media that fall under the unused game media category may be limited. The more frequently a player 3 plays games, the less likely he or she is to be able to use the benefits of unused game media. On the other hand, when individual discrimination criteria are set, the calculation process is performed in the case of a common discrimination criterion. Although this is more complicated than the conventional method, it ensures that a certain number of unused game media are always available, and increases the chances of winning rewards. It may increase fairness.

[0068] At least one discrimination criterion should be set, but different discrimination criteria may be set depending on the content of the benefit. Alternatively, different criteria may be set for each game. Different discrimination criteria may be set for each body. Alternatively, a list of discrimination criteria may be stored in the storage unit 220. In the case where different discrimination criteria are set for each item, the discrimination criteria are stored in the benefit information storage unit 223 described later. , may be stored in association with the bonus information. The discrimination criteria when setting the discrimination criteria are stored in the game information storage unit 221 for each game. The game may be stored in association with the setting information, and the determination criteria may be different for each game medium. The criteria for determining whether the game is set is the setting information of the game medium in the game information storage unit 221. They may be stored in association with each other.

[0069] The bonus information storage unit 223 stores bonus information that is given when an unused game medium is used in a game. Here, "benefits" refers to in-game or current Anything that benefits Player 3 in the real world is acceptable, and is not necessarily limited to this. For example, the bonuses include an increase in various game parameters and skill effects. , an increase in the experience points acquired by the game medium, a decrease in the parameters of the enemy character, and There are also special perks that have effects that are specific to the game medium, such as restricting Rakuta's actions. , media that can be acquired during the game or when the game is cleared (for example, game media (items) games, consumable media (including currency, stones, points), and player experience points, etc. Other benefits include the lifting of various restrictions in the game (each Granting the right to execute certain functions), special benefits that give you an advantage in various lotteries, and increased occurrence rate of special events , tickets for special events, and gifts given in the real world, etc. These include rewards that are awarded after clearing the game, such as exchangeable tickets.

[0070] The privilege information storage unit 223 may store at least one piece of privilege information. As shown in FIG. 1C, a plurality of pieces of privilege information may be stored in the privilege information storage unit 223. The privilege information to be stored may include, for example, an ID for identifying a privilege and a , details of the benefits, the criteria for determining the benefits, and other information regarding the granting of additional conditions. , may be included.

[0071] Benefits such as B02 and B03 shown in FIG. 8C are granted by using unused game media. The effectiveness of the benefits varies depending on the degree of use or non-use shown in the evaluation data. "Effects change" means that the more unused the item is, the more advantageous the effect becomes. This means that more beneficial effects can be obtained, or that the lower the level of use, the more beneficial effects can be obtained.

[0072] In addition, the benefits granted by using the unused game media include the evaluation target data D3b. In addition to the criteria for determining whether a reward is given, additional conditions may be set to restrict who can receive the reward. For example, the rewards shown in B01 to B03 in Figure 8C are "login intervals less than 10 days." Additional conditions regarding the play history of player 3 may be set.

[0073] In addition, as shown in the B03 benefit in Figure 8C, additional terms may be added to limit the period for which the benefit is granted. In addition, as shown in the privilege of B04 in FIG. 8C, a privilege is granted. Additional conditions may be set to restrict the players 3 to which the bonus is given. If so, the level of Player 3 or the duration of the game played by Player 3 (registration date The player 3 who is the target of the benefit may be set based on the period from the current date and time to the current date and time. In addition, as shown in the benefits of B04 to B07 in FIG. 8C, the target game to which the benefit is given is In other words, depending on the type of game being played, You may change the reward content. You may set multiple rewards with additional conditions as described above. This may make the game more interesting.

[0074] Benefits that have an effect on the game medium (each parameter, skill, or experience point acquired In the case of special offers (such as special offers related to the game), the game media to which the special offers are applicable may be restricted. For example, the bonuses may be limited to unused game media used in the game at the time the bonuses are awarded. However, game media other than the unused game media (enemy characters or ally characters) may not be used. The bonus will be given to game media owned by the user along with unused game media such as game controllers. Alternatively, unused game media and some owned game media may be eligible for the bonus. , all owned game media used in the game at the time of the bonus may be eligible for the bonus. For example, if you use a deck that contains unused game media to play a game, the benefits will be: "Increase in attack power of characters with the same attributes as unused characters (unused game media)" It may also be "an increase in the experience points gained by all characters that make up the kit."

[0075] The effect of the benefit extends to game media owned other than unused game media, The company can use its resources to develop and strengthen other game media it owns. Opportunities for using media will expand, and players will be more willing to use unused game media. It is expected that motivation for number 3 will increase.

[0076] If you play a game using a deck that contains unused game media, the benefits will be the same as those of the deck. The effect varies depending on statistics such as the total value of the evaluation data D3b for each game medium owned. In this case, "effect fluctuates" means, for example, that the degree of use changes The lower the total value of the evaluation target data D3b shown in FIG. 1, the more advantageous the effect. In the case where the greater the total value of the evaluation target data D3b indicating the degree of use, the greater the advantageous effect, In addition, when using a deck that contains unused game media, The number or percentage of unused game media in the deck (number of unused game media in the deck / number of unused game media in the deck) The bonuses are set so that the greater the number of games owned, the more advantageous effects will be given. This is also fine.

[0077] Next, each functional unit of the control unit 200 will be described in detail.

[0078] The preparation processing unit 201 processes various information required before a game using the owned game media is executed. Specifically, the preparation processing unit 201 executes the process of selecting the game media owned by each player 3 from among the game media owned by each player 3. The user then receives an operation to select at least one owned game medium to be used in the game from the game information. 0 is a screen displayed on the player terminal 30 when accepting a selection operation by the player 3. The preparation process block 201 receives a selection of game content from the player 3. When a command to execute an operation is received, the player information stored in the player information storage unit 222 is The game media information D3 is read out. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, a list of owned game media is displayed. The screen interface including the above is displayed on the player terminal 30. At least one game media to be used in the game from the list of owned game media displayed on the face When the game medium is selected, the preparation processing unit 201 The information is transmitted to the game processing unit 202, which will be described later.

[0079] In conjunction with the above-mentioned selection operation acceptance process, the preparation processing unit 201 identifies unused game media. The process of identifying unused game media is performed by using the information stored in the player information storage unit 222. Based on the stored data on the usage of the game media owned by each player 3, This is a process for identifying unused game media included in the game media. 201 is a graph showing the degree of use of the evaluation target data D3b based on the above-mentioned discrimination criteria ( (Below or below the standard value) Game media owned and / or the data subject to evaluation Owned game media that is highly unused (above or exceeding the standard value) is classified as unused game media. The criteria for identifying unused game media are, as mentioned above, The standard may be common to all players, and may be determined according to the usage status of the game media owned by each player 3. There may be separate criteria set for each layer 3.

[0080] The unused game media may be identified before or after the selection operation by the player 3. If unused game media is identified before the player performs a selection operation, In this case, the preparation processing unit 201 displays the unused game on the screen interface as shown in FIG. The selection operation may also include a process of displaying the contents of the benefits that may be given by using the program medium. By displaying the contents of the bonus on the screen interface during production, the player 3 can avoid using the unused game. In addition, the screen interface for accepting selection operations can be improved. On the site, owned game media may be displayed in order of the degree of use or the degree of non-use. In addition, in order to make it easier for the player 3 to distinguish between unused game media and other owned game media, Alternatively, the unused game media may be displayed in a different color on the screen interface.

[0081] In addition, after receiving the selection operation by the player 3, the preparation processing unit 201 It is determined whether or not the selected owned game media includes unused game media. If it is determined that unused game media is included, the unused game media may be used to play the game. The system decides to award Player 3 a reward for performing the above operation.

[0082] The information processing executed by the preparation processing unit 201 includes, in addition to the above, the information processing of the game executed by the player 3. This includes accepting the selection.

[0083] The game processing unit 202 is a device that processes at least one owned game medium selected by the information processing unit 201. The game processing unit 202 executes the game using the Information on the game media selected by the player 3 and the game contents notified via the player terminal 30 Based on a game execution request from a player 3, the game is executed on the player terminal 30. In addition to the above, the game processing unit 202 processes various information necessary for the execution and control of the game. Carry out the theory.

[0084] The privilege for using the unused game medium is given by the game processing unit 202 at the start of the game. It may be given at the start (when executed) or at the end (when cleared) of the game. The awarding unit 204 may execute a process of awarding the benefit determined by the preparation processing unit 201.

[0085] In addition, the games eligible for bonuses from unused game media include special games. However, benefits for the use of unused game media are not limited to those that are specifically targeted at regular games. In addition to the benefits of unused game media, the special game should have some kind of appeal or special In order to emphasize the interest of the special game itself, The game may be excluded from the scope of the bonus provided by the unused game media. Because it is played more frequently on a daily basis than other games, it is easy to become bored with the game It is also possible that the bonuses provided by unused game media in such a standard game are This may result in more effective improvement in interest in the game.

[0086] The usage status calculation unit 203 calculates the evaluation target data D3b stored in the player information storage unit 222. Calculate and use data on each game medium owned, such as statistical data D3c. The usage status calculation unit 203 calculates and updates data related to the usage status. For example, when new information is added to the player information storage unit 222, When a new owned game content is added, data on the usage status of the owned game content is Alternatively, the data may be calculated at the end of each game. The data may be updated by the usage status calculation unit 203. Also, at a predetermined time every day, The usage status calculation unit 203 may update the data from time to time.

[0087] The deck organization unit 205 executes processes related to deck organization via the player terminal 30. 12 is a block diagram for explaining an overview of the processing executed by the deck compilation unit 205. As shown in FIG. 12, in the information processing by the deck compilation unit 205, each player 3 owns a game. Select multiple game media you own from the game media to create a deck. The number of owned game media is not particularly limited. Based on the instructions of the user, the deck is assigned an ID number and the deck is assigned an ID number. Information about the deck (for example, the name of the deck and the ID of each game medium owned that makes up the deck) D, etc.) and store them in the player information storage unit 222.

[0088] When a game is executed using a deck including a plurality of owned game media, the preparation processing unit 201 accepts an operation to select one deck from the decks organized by each player 3 FIG. 13 shows a display of a display screen displayed on the player terminal 30 when a deck selection operation by the player 3 is accepted. 1 is an example of a screen interface that is displayed. When a command to execute a selection operation of the game is received, the game information is stored in the player information storage unit 222. Then, the screen interface shown in FIG. 13 is displayed. The screen interface is displayed on the player terminal 30. A list of decks including the game media configuration is displayed. Player 3 uses the screen interface Select at least one deck to use in the game from the list of decks displayed in The preparation processing unit 201 then transmits information about the deck selected by the player 3 to the game processing unit 202. To communicate.

[0089] When using a deck, the preparation processing unit 201 also Identify unused game media from among the media. Then, add a few to the deck selected by Player 3. Determine whether or not the deck contains at least one unused game medium. If it is determined that at least one unused game medium is included, Decide to give Player 3 a bonus for playing the game using a deck that includes In addition, before the deck selection operation by Player 3, the unused game media is identified. In this case, the preparation processing unit 201 displays the unused gate on the screen interface as shown in FIG. and executing a process for displaying the contents of the benefits that may be granted by using a deck including a game medium. Good too.

[0090] When using a deck such as the one above to play a game, the deck containing the unused game media may The reward for using the game is the unused game media and / or unused items contained in the deck. The bonus may have an effect on owned game media other than the game media being used. However, the benefit may only apply to owned game media other than unused game media. It may also be a benefit that applies to unused game media and some owned game media. A benefit that affects all owned game media contained in the deck, including unused game media. may be also possible.

[0091] Next, based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 11A, the information processing system 10 performs information processing. An overview of the above will be given.

[0092] As shown in FIG. 11A, first, in step S1, the player 3 selects a game to be played. Next, in step S2, the owned game information stored in the player information storage unit 222 is selected. The information D3 about the game media is read. The information D3 about the game media owned is Regarding the usage status of each game medium owned, such as the target data D3b and statistical data D3c Contains data.

[0093] Next, in step S3, the above-mentioned preparation processing unit 201 executes the process to prepare the possession game. Specifically, in step S3, a predetermined judgment is performed to identify unused game media. Based on another criterion, the degree of use indicated by the evaluation target data D3b is low (below the standard value or (less than the base value) owned game media and / or the data subject to evaluation indicates a high degree of non-use (base value) (above the threshold or exceeding the threshold) are identified as unused game media.

[0094] Next, in step S4, the player 3 is prompted to select the game media he or she owns to use in the game. To achieve this, the player terminal 30 is caused to display a screen interface as shown in FIG. When you do this, the screen interface will display the following message: It is preferable to display the benefit.

[0095] Next, in step S5, the player 3 selects a game medium to be used in the game from among the game media he owns. Select at least one game medium to own. Then, in step 6, It is determined whether the used game media includes unused game media. If the bonus is not awarded, the game is executed in step S8. If the owned game media selected by player 3 includes unused game media, step S7 In this case, a special benefit is given for playing a game using unused game media. Then, in step S8, a game is played using the unused game medium. Execute.

[0096] In step S7, the benefit that is determined to be given to the player 3 is Before playing the game in S8, during playing the game, when the game is cleared, and when the game is finished The player 3 may be given the prize at any time after the completion of the prize. For example, In the flowchart shown in FIG. 11B, the bonus award unit 204 executes the step after the game is cleared. In S9, the bonus is given. In addition, the usage status used to identify unused game media As shown in FIG. 11B, in step 10 after the game is executed, the data to be used is However, the timing for updating the data on the usage status may be changed by the usage status calculation unit 203. The timing is not limited to the flow shown in FIG. 11B, and may be updated at a fixed time every day.

[0097] In the flowchart shown in FIG. 11A, after the game to be played is selected (S1), The user is selecting the game media owned to be used in the game (S5), but the time to select the game to be played is The timing is not limited to the flow shown in FIG. 11A. For example, After selecting the game medium, the user may select the game to be played. In the chart, before the selection of owned game media by Player 3, the unused game media are identified. However, the timing for identifying unused game media is limited to the flow shown in FIG. 11A. For example, the identification of unused game media is not possible without the selection of owned game media by Player 3. The selection may be performed after the player 3 has selected the game medium to be owned and the game to be played. However, the game may be played later when the player 3 selects the game media he or she owns to use in the game. In order for the contents of the bonus to be displayed on the screen interface, the player must It is preferable that unused game media be identified before the selection operation of the owned game media by the user. The contents of the bonus are displayed when the player 3 makes a selection, enhancing the strategic nature of the game. It is expected that this will happen.

[0098] As described above, in the information processing system 10 of this embodiment, when unused game media is used, By providing benefits to users, it is possible to create an opportunity to utilize unused game media, This can increase the interest of players in the game. By creating opportunities to acquire game media through lottery methods such as gacha, This can increase the motivation of the player 3 to play.

[0099] In the information processing system 10, the preparation processing unit 201 performs the Based on individual criteria set for each player 3 according to the usage situation, unused games The media may be specified, in which case the specific criteria may be, for example, the degree of use and / or may be set based on statistics regarding the degree of non-use. When identifying used game media, a certain number of unused game media must always be generated. This will increase fairness in the awarding of rewards and make the game more interesting. This can be expected.

[0100] In the information processing system 10, the benefit given for the use of unused game media is The effect may vary depending on the degree of use and / or non-use of the game medium. This is expected to increase the strategic value of using unused game media. .

[0101] In the information processing system 10, the contents of the benefit given for the use of unused game media are as follows: The number of times may differ depending on the unit of the game executed by the game processing unit 202. By setting different rewards for each game, it becomes easier to be strategic about using unused game media. It is expected that this will increase.

[0102] When playing games using multiple game media, such as when using decks, The effect of the benefits granted for the use of the Unused Game Media will not apply to anything other than the Unused Game Media. The bonus may be set so that it also applies to unused game media. It will also be possible to develop and strengthen other game media owned by the company. It is expected that the use of game media will become more strategic.

[0103] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. However, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0104] For example, regarding the processing of the software functional units included in the server 20 and the player terminal 30, To the extent that the gist of the present invention can be realized, some or all of the functions of the server 20 may be provided to the player. The terminal 30 may also be provided with it.
