In this embodiment, these functions are realized by at least one of the processors 11 and 21 executing a program. For example, the executed program is a program stored in the storage devices 14 and 24. As described above, since various functions are realized by loading a program, part or all of one part (function) may be possessed by another part. These functions may also be realized by hardware, such as by configuring electronic circuits for realizing part or all of each function.

[0020] The user terminal control means 101 of the user terminal 10 performs control processing for executing the functions of the application of this embodiment. The application may be a dedicated application prepared to realize this embodiment, or an application used for other purposes such as a general-purpose browser. The display means 102 displays an application screen for controlling the application functions, and displays an application screen according to the application functions and user operations. If the application is a browser, this is a browser screen.

[0021] The input means 103 accepts input from the user of the user terminal 10. In this embodiment, a touch panel equipped with the display means 102 and the input means 103 is used, and the input means is realized by a touch detection function. The storage means 104 stores information necessary for information processing executed by the user terminal control means 101, and stores, for example, information such as data on virtual game media (first game media) received from the server device 20. In this embodiment, the virtual game media is electronic data containing information on cards, which are real game media (second game media) of a card game. The real game media corresponding to one virtual game media is associated with the same character as the character associated with that virtual game media. The communication means 105 can communicate with the communication means 205 of the server device 20 via the network 2.

[0022] Server control means 201 of server device 20 performs processing to be executed in server device 20 for an application executed in user terminal 10. Display means 202 displays a management screen for a server administrator on display device 22 as necessary. Input means 203 accepts user input from a user such as an administrator of server device 20. Communication means 205 can communicate with communication means 105 of user terminal 10 via network 2. For example, server control means 201 receives a user ID, password, etc. from user terminal 10 to authenticate the user, communicates with the authenticated user terminal 10, and the user of that user terminal 10 can use services provided by server device 20 as the user of that user ID.

[0023] The storage means 204 stores game titles in association with game identifiers (IDs). The storage means 204 also stores virtual game media in association with game IDs. The game ID is an example of game identification information that can identify a game. In this embodiment, the game title is a type of card game that is a competitive game using cards, which are real game media. In this embodiment, the storage means 204 stores game titles in association with game IDs, as shown in Table A in FIG. 4A, and stores multiple virtual game media in association with each game ID. FIG. 4A is a diagram showing an example of Table A. In Table A shown in FIG. 4A, for example, the game title Game a is stored in association with the game ID G001, the game title Game b is stored in association with the game ID G002, the game ID G001 is stored in association with virtual game media cards a1, a2, ..., and the game ID G002 is stored in association with virtual game media cards b1, b2, ....

[0024] The storage unit 204 stores information such as user data of users registered as users of the event management service, event data selected by the user from among multiple events, and created deck data created by the user. In this embodiment, the storage unit 204 stores a user identifier (ID) and an event identifier (ID) in association with each other. The storage unit 204 also stores the created deck data and the event registration date in association with the user ID and the event ID. The user ID is an example of user identification information that can identify a user. The event ID is an example of event identification information that can identify an event. FIG. 4B is a diagram showing an example of Table B. In Table B shown in FIG. 4B, for example, the user ID U001 and the event ID E001 are associated and stored with the created deck Deck 1-1 and the event registration date September 23, and the user ID U001 and the event ID E002 are associated and stored with the created deck Deck 1-2 and the event registration date September 28.

[0025] The storage unit 204 stores the event ID in association with the event name, game title, location of the event venue, event schedule, event selection deadline, whether or not a lottery will be held, the event participation limit, and the current number of users who have selected the event. FIG. 4C is a diagram showing an example of Table C. In Table C shown in FIG. 4C, for example, the event ID E001 is associated with the event name Event A, game title Game A, the location of the event venue P, the event schedule October 1st at 10:00, the event selection deadline September 23rd, whether or not a lottery will be held, the event participation limit of 100, and the current number of users who have selected the event 200. The same event name may be associated with multiple event IDs. For example, in Table C of FIG. 4C, the same event name Event A is associated with the event IDs E001 and E002. Here, Event A on the same day at different times is associated with a different event ID. P is location information indicating the location of the event venue, and may be, for example, address information such as XX City, XX Prefecture, or latitude and longitude information.

[0026] The user ID is an example of user identification information that can identify a user and can be used to identify the user. The user is a user of the event management service provided by the system. User information can be associated with the user ID. The user information can include information such as the user's name, phone number, email address, address, the game title selected by the user, and the language of the game title.

[0027] The created deck data is data of a deck of virtual game media selected and created by the user from among multiple virtual game media displayed on the user terminal 10 by the display means 102. Multiple decks can be created.

[0028] The event ID is an example of event identification information that can identify an event and can be used to identify the event. As shown in Table C in FIG. 4C , the event ID can be associated with event-related information such as the event name, game title, location of the event venue, event dates, event selection deadline, whether or not a lottery will be held, the event participation limit, and the current number of users who have selected the event. The event-related information may be based on information entered by an event organizer using the event management service provided by the system. In this embodiment, the event is a competitive game using physical game media such as cards in a card game. Users may be required to win a lottery to participate in the event. The number of users who can participate in the event may be set as a limit. If, for example, the number of expected participants exceeds the limit, the event ID may be associated with the presence of a lottery, allowing only users who win the lottery to participate in the event.

[0029] The presentation control means 206 presents the plurality of virtual game contents and the plurality of events to the user via the display means 102 of the user terminal 10. In this embodiment, the plurality of virtual game contents are electronic data corresponding to the plurality of real game contents of a card game. The presentation control means 206 may present the plurality of virtual game contents associated with the game title selected by the user and included in the user data.

[0030] The presentation control means 206 presents opponent information indicating information about the user's opponent in the event to the user via the display means 102 of the user terminal 10. In this embodiment, the opponent information includes the name of the opponent user, the deck registered by the opponent user, the table number at which the competitive game will be played, etc. Presentation of the opponent information may be conditional on the user checking in to the event venue.

[0031] The deck creation control means 207 creates a deck based on virtual game media selected by the user from multiple virtual game media presented on the user terminal 10. Each virtual game media can be associated with a different character. The same character can be associated with multiple virtual game media, i.e., one character can be associated with one virtual game medium and the same character can be associated with another virtual game medium. The deck creation control means 207 may be capable of creating a deck based on multiple virtual game media associated with the same character. Furthermore, the deck creation control means 207 may be capable of creating a deck based on multiple single virtual game media.

[0032] The registration control means 208 associates and registers the information stored in the storage means 204 described above.

[0033] When the number of users selecting an event is less than the event's participation capacity, the registration control means 208 may accept the selection of the event by user operation and allow the event ID of the event to be registered even after the event selection deadline associated with the event. For example, in table C of Fig. 4C, for an event with an event ID of E002, the event selection deadline is September 28, and the event cannot be selected after September 29, after the event selection deadline. However, since the event participation capacity is 20 people and the current number of users who have selected the event is 10, the event may be selected and the event ID of the event may be registered after September 29, after the event selection deadline.

[0034] The registration control means 208 allows the event IDs of multiple events to be registered. The multiple events include one event (first event) and another event (second event). The one event and the other event are events of a fighting game with the same game title. The one event and the other event may be held on the same day, or the one event may be held earlier than the other event.

[0035] The registration control means 208 may enable the registration of another event according to the relationship between the first event and the other event. The relationship between the first event and the other event may be the relationship between the dates of the first event and the other event, i.e., the registration control means 208 may enable the registration of another event according to the dates of the first event and the other event. The event dates include information regarding the date and time of the event.

[0036] Furthermore, the registration control means 208 may allow the registration of another event on the condition that there is a predetermined time or more between the dates of the one event and the dates of the other event. The predetermined time may be determined based on event-related information associated with the event ID, or may be determined based on information about the dates and locations of the one event and the other event associated with the event IDs of the one event and the other event. For example, the predetermined time may be determined based on information about the dates of the one event and the other event, depending on whether the dates and locations allow a user to participate in both the one event and the other event. The predetermined time may be changeable and may be registered.

[0037] Furthermore, when the registration control means 208 receives an instruction to cancel the registration of one event through a user operation, it may also be possible to receive the selection of another event and register it.

[0038] The registration control means 208 may enable registration of the match result on the condition that the match with the opponent has ended. The registration control means 208 may enable registration of the match result on the condition that the opponent's user has approved the match result. For example, in response to receiving information indicating the match result from the user terminal 10 of one user, the registration control means 208 may present the match result and an icon indicating whether the match result is approved or not to the user terminal of the opponent user, and enable registration of the match result on the condition that the opponent's user selects the icon indicating approval.

[0039] The registration control means 208 may be capable of registering, in association with the user ID, an event ID of an event selected by the user from among a plurality of events associated with one game title selected by the user from among a plurality of game titles and associated with the user ID. Furthermore, the registration control means 208 may be capable of registering, based on the user's selection, an event ID of an event associated with one event date from among event IDs of a plurality of events associated with the same event name and associated with different event dates.

[0040] The registration control means 208 may be capable of registering an event hosting application from an event host wishing to host an event. The event hosting application may include information contained in the event-related information and may be capable of being registered in association with an event ID.

[0041] The matching control means 209 performs matching between users. Matching between users may be performed on the condition that the users check in to the event venue. In this embodiment, a user who is matched with another user becomes the opponent of the user.

[0042] The matching control means 209 may control matching between one user (first type user) who selected one event on a different day and registered it in association with a user ID and another user (second type user). For example, the one user is a user with a user ID of U001 in Table B of FIG. 4B, and the other user is a user with a user ID of U003 in Table B of FIG. 4B. The one user registered an event with an event ID of E002 on September 23rd, while the other user registered an event with an event ID of E002 on October 1st, a different day from the first user. In this way, for example, by distinguishing one user who registered for event participation during a preferred period desired by the event organizer as a first type user and another user who registered for event participation during an undesirable period not desired by the event organizer as a second type user, it is possible to set up a system in which first type users can enjoy benefits that second type users cannot enjoy. The preferred period desired by the event organizer and the undesirable period not desired by the event organizer may be set arbitrarily. Furthermore, the matching control means 209 may perform control so that one user can be matched with another user on the date of an event. For example, the date of the event is October 1, which is the date of an event with an event ID of E002. Furthermore, the matching control means 209 may perform control so that first-type users and second-type users can be matched with each other.

[0043] A user who selects an event during a first period, associates a user ID with the event, and registers the event may be a first-type user, and a user who selects an event during a second period following the first period, associates a user ID with the event, and registers the event may be a second-type user. The first period may be longer than the second period. For example, in the case of an event with an event ID E002 shown in FIG. 4C, the first period may be September 1 to 23, and the second period may be September 24 to October 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this. A user who selects an event by the day before the event is scheduled to be held, associates a user ID with the event, and registers the event, may be a first-type user, and a user who selects an event on the day the event is scheduled to be held, associates a user ID with the event, and registers the event may be a second-type user.

[0044] The registration control means 208 may be configured to register the user ID of a second type of user in association with the event ID of one event up to the time of the event on the day of the event's schedule. The registration control means 208 may be configured to register the user ID of a second type of user in association with the event ID of one event, on the condition that the number of user IDs that have selected the one event and registered in association with the event ID of the one event is less than the participant capacity of the one event.

[0045] The registration control means 208 may perform control so that the match results of the fighting game for the first type of user can be registered, and on the other hand, may perform control so that the match results of the fighting game for the second type of user cannot be registered.

[0046] The check-in determination means 210 determines whether or not a user has checked in to an event venue. The check-in determination means 210 may determine that a user has checked in to an event venue on the condition that information relating to the location of the user terminal 10 indicates that the user is located at the event venue. The information relating to the location of the user terminal 10 may be global positioning system (GPS) information provided by the user terminal 10. The check-in determination means 210 may determine that a user has checked in to an event venue on the condition that identification information presented by the user terminal 10 is acquired. The identification information presented by the user terminal 10 may be any information that can identify the user, and in this embodiment is a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark).

[0047] The notification control means 211 is a means for receiving notification information from the server device 20 to the user terminal 10 and presenting the notification information to the user via the user terminal 10. The notification control means 211 can notify the user terminal 10 of the user of information related to an opponent user in a competitive game during the event schedule. The notification control means 211 may control to enable notification of information related to the opponent user on the condition that a first type of user has been matched with a second type of user, or on the condition that a second type of user has been matched with a first type of user. Furthermore, the notification control means 211 may control to disable notification of information related to the opponent user on the condition that a first type of user has been matched with a second type of user, or on the condition that a second type of user has been matched with a second type of user.

[0048] When an event that requires winning a lottery is selected, and a user wins the lottery, the notification control means 211 can notify the user terminal 10 of the user who won by a predetermined date of information indicating that the user has won. The predetermined date may be the day before the event is scheduled to be held. Furthermore, when a user loses the lottery, the notification control means 211 may notify the user via the user terminal 10 of the user of information indicating that the user is on a waiting list for cancellations. Furthermore, when a user loses the lottery, the notification control means 211 may notify the user terminal 10 of the user of information indicating that the user is on a waiting list for cancellations, and may notify the user terminal 10 of the user on a waiting list of information indicating that the user has won, provided that a user cancels.

[0049] Operation 500 of the system in this embodiment will be described using Figure 5. In step S502, the server device 20 presents a plurality of virtual game media and a plurality of event information to the user terminal 10. The user terminal 10 can display the presented information to the user using the display means 102. The user can select an event in which they would like to participate from the presented event information.

[0050] In step S504, a deck is created based on virtual game media selected from the virtual game media presented on the user terminal 10 based on user input.

[0051] In step S506, the created deck is registered in association with the user ID and event ID.

[0052] In step S508, control is performed so that opponent information for the competitive game is presented.

[0053] Operation 600 of the system in another embodiment will be described using Figure 6. Operation 600 includes operation 500 plus step S607. Steps 602 to 606 operate in the same manner as steps S502 to S506 in Figure 5. If it is determined in step S607 that the user has checked in to the event venue, operation is the same as step S508 in Figure 5. Therefore, the operation of step 607 may be additionally included in Figure 5.

[0054] Using Figure 10, a system operation 1000 in yet another embodiment will be described. Steps 1002 to 1006 operate in the same way as steps S502 to S506 in Figure 5.
