[0190] (Variation 1) Note that information about multiple game effects may be associated with any of multiple groups. Then, the game media acquisition unit 253 acquires the game effect information from among the plurality of pieces of information related to the game effect. Information regarding game effects associated with the selected group according to information about the game medium Any of the information may be associated with information about the game medium.

[0191] For example, the server storage unit 32 may store, instead of the game effect table 900, a game effect table 2300 for managing information about the group to which the game effect belongs; The game effect group table 2400 for managing information is stored.

[0192] FIG. 23 shows the data structure of a game effect table 2300 for managing information related to game effects. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a structure. Note that the same components as those described above are denoted by the same reference numerals. The game effect table 2300 contains the following information for each game effect: , game effect ID 910, group ID 2310, game effect grant period 920 and game The effect contents 930 and the like are stored in association with each other.

[0193] The group ID 2310 is an identifier for identifying the group to which the game effect is associated. Each game effect is associated with one of several groups. In the example shown in 3, the identification information of at least two groups is stored, and each group The group effect is associated with one of the two groups. Each game effect may be associated with multiple groups.

[0194] In the example shown in FIG. 23, the group ID 2310 is "2". The game effect content 930 of the assigned game effect is the group whose group ID 2310 is "1". The effect amount is larger than the game effect content 930 of the game effect associated with the group. For example, The game effect content 930 of the game effect whose game effect ID 910 is "9" is " The effect of this game is that the number of points awarded will be doubled. The content is the same as the game effect content 930 of the game effect whose game effect ID 910 is "1". However, the amount of change is determined by the game effect ID 910. is set to be larger than the game effect of "1", and players can receive more benefits. That is, the group ID 2310 is "2". The attached game effect is associated with the group whose group ID 2310 is "1". This includes game effects that are more advantageous to the player than the game effects that were previously awarded.

[0195] Figure 24 shows the game effect group that manages information about the group to which the game effect belongs. FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data structure of the game effect group table 2400. 00, for each group, a group ID 2410 and a condition 2420 are mutually is stored in association with

[0196] Group ID 2410 is identification information for identifying the group to which the game effect belongs. The condition 2420 represents the condition for selecting the associated group. In the example shown, the condition 2420 is set to a group whose group ID 2410 is "1". The group ID 2420 is "Enemy Game Media ID: 1". For the group where 2410 is "2", the condition 2420 is "enemy game media ID: 2 or 3 That is, the group whose group ID 2410 is "1" is The enemy game medium whose ID is "1" is associated with the game medium. It is also selected when the group ID 2410 is "2". The group is associated with enemy game media whose enemy game media ID is "2" or "3." This is selected when associating information about game effects with the selected game content.

[0197] Note that the condition 2420 is not limited to the enemy game medium ID. Different groups are selected depending on the enemy game media's health value associated with the media. Also, a different group may be selected for each game medium ID of the game medium. In addition, the type of enemy game content associated with the game content may be set to A different group may be selected depending on a parameter such as an attack power value.

[0198] The game media setting unit 331 receives a game media information transmission request from the mobile terminal 2. The game media setting unit 331 then refers to the game media table 1000 in the server storage unit 32. and the game content associated with the player ID included in the game content information transmission request. Next, the game media setting unit 331 acquires the information included in the game media information transmission request. Whether the acquisition time is before the expiration date 1060 of the information about the acquired game media has elapsed. Determine the following.

[0199] If it is determined that the acquisition time is not before the expiration of the time limit 1060, the game media setting unit 331 Then, the selection status 1050 of the information about the acquired game content is set to "unselected." If it is determined that the acquisition time is not before the expiration of the time limit 1060, the game media setting unit 331 , referring to the game effect table 2300, and determining whether the acquisition time is included in the game effect granting period 920. Determine whether or not

[0200] If it is determined that the acquisition time is included in the game effect granting period 920, the game medium setting unit 331 selects one of a plurality of groups according to information about the game medium. For example, the game media setting unit 331 refers to the game media table 1000 in the server storage unit 32. Then, the game content setting unit 331 retrieves information about the game content from the server record. The game effect group table 2400 in the memory unit 32 is referenced, and the acquired game content is A group ID 2410 whose information satisfies the condition 2420 is selected.

[0201] Next, the game content setting unit 331 refers to the game effect table 2300 and selects the selected Selected game effects from information about game effects associated with the group For example, the game content setting unit 331 associates the information related to the game content with the information related to the game content. , from the game effect table 2300, associated with the selected group ID 2310 Next, the game content setting unit 331 acquires information about the game effect. Game effect ID 910 of information about game effects is related to the information about the acquired game medium. wear.

[0202] In this way, information about multiple game effects is associated with one of multiple groups. Then, the game content acquisition unit 253 selects the game content according to the information about the game content. Information about selected game effects from among the information about game effects associated with the group. The information to be displayed is associated with information about the game content. This allows different information to be displayed depending on the game content. It will be possible to link the game effects of each game, and a variety of fighting games will be offered for each game medium. This increases the player's motivation to improve their game.

[0203] (Variation 2) It should be noted that information relating to multiple game effects may be associated with a predetermined priority. The game media setting unit 331 then selects information about a plurality of game effects based on a predetermined priority. and associate the information about the game medium with the information about the game effect. .

[0204] For example, the server storage unit 32 may store a game effect table instead of the game effect table 900. Remember rule 2500.

[0205] FIG. 25 shows the data structure of a game effect table 2500 for managing information related to game effects. 25 is a diagram showing an example of the structure of the game effect table 2500. 2, a game effect ID 910, a game effect granting period 920, a game effect content 930, and granting The probability 2510 is stored in association with each other. information about the game effect selected from the plurality of game effects; This represents the probability that multiple games associated with the same game effect grant period will be The probability of granting a number of game effects is stored so that the total sum is 100%. Probability 2510 is an example of a predetermined priority.

[0206] The game effect setting unit 331 uses the game effect table 250 stored in the server storage unit 32. 0, and the acquisition time included in the game media information transmission request is within the game effect granting period 920. Then, the game content setting unit 331 acquires information about the game effects included in the game content. Based on the probability of receiving information about each game effect (2510), Next, the game media setting unit 331 selects one of the pieces of information to be displayed. The game effect ID 910 of the information about the game medium is stored in association with the information about the game medium.

[0207] By doing this, it is possible to identify game effects and related information that are easily associated with information about the game media. This creates game effects that are difficult to link together, increasing the diversity of competitive games and improving player interaction. It can improve the motivation to continue playing the war game.

[0208] In addition, the game effect table 2500 stores priority instead of the grant probability 2510. The game content setting unit 331 may set a higher priority for the game effect. The probability of granting each game effect is determined so that the probability of granting is high, and the determined grant probability is Based on the rate, information about the game effect may be selected. This allows for more flexible setting of the duration of the effect, increasing the variety of competitive games. It can be further improved.

[0209] (Variation 3) In the above explanation, the game effect granting period is stored for each game effect. However, this is not limitative. For example, a different game effect duration may be stored for each player. The game media setting unit 331 may then select the game media information included in the game media information transmission request. If the winning time is included in the game effect granting period stored in association with the player, Associate information about the medium with information about the game effect.

[0210] For example, the server storage unit 32 may store a game effect table instead of the game effect table 900. Remember rule 2600.

[0211] FIG. 26 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the game effect table 2600. The effect table 2600 includes a game effect ID 910, a game effect grant period 2610, and a game effect ID. The game effect content 930 is stored in association with the game effect duration 2610. Information about each game effect associated with the layer ID is stored in the game media. In the example shown in FIG. 26, The game effect granting period 2610 of the game effect whose effect ID is "1" is For players who are "1", the time is "August 1st 11:00~August 2nd 10:59". Also, for players with a player ID of "2", the period from 11:00 on August 2nd to The time is 10:59 on the 3rd.

[0212] The game media setting unit 331 determines whether the player ID 1030 included in the game media transmission request is relevant. If it is determined that the expiration date 1060 of the linked game medium has passed, The selection status 1050 of the information about the game media is set to "not selected." 31 refers to the game effect table 900 and obtains the acquisition time included in the game media information transmission request. The time is the game effect granting period associated with the player ID included in the game media transmission request. It is determined whether the acquisition time is included in the game effect granting period 2610. If it is determined that the game effect is The information about the game effect selected from the list is associated with the information about the game medium.

[0213] This allows other players who have joined the game to know the status of the player who started the game. The game effects applied to each ear are different, improving the diversity of competitive games. It is possible.

[0214] (Variation 4) In the above explanation, the expiration date of the game content is set the same for all players. However, this is not limited to this. For example, the expiration date of the game content may be set at a different time for each player. It may be possible to do so.

[0215] In this case, the game media setting unit 331 updates the expiration date 1060 of the game media as follows: First, the server storage unit 32 stores a plurality of predetermined time limits associated with the player ID. The multiple deadlines may be, for example, 10:59 of each day, 22:59 of each day, or For example, 10:59 on Mondays of each week. The game then acquires multiple deadlines associated with the player ID included in the request. The medium setting unit 331 records the closest deadline among the acquired multiple deadlines as the deadline 1060. By storing the information, the deadline 1060 is updated.

[0216] This allows information about the game medium to be associated with information about the game effects. The period will be different for each player. And depending on the player who started the match game, In this way, game effects associated with information about the game media at different times may be used to participate in competitive games. This will increase the diversity of competitive games, as it will be applied to other players who join. This can be done.

[0217] (Variation 5) The server 3 is connected to the player who started the competitive game and the other players who participated in the competitive game. A game effect is applied to the player, and the parameters of the player's game content and The content of the reward, the number of rewards, or the probability of rewards being given may be changed, but this is not limited to this. For example, Server 3 applies the game effect only to other players who participated in the match game, and depending on the game effect, Players can change the parameters of the game media, the content of rewards, the number of rewards, or the probability of rewards being awarded. stomach.

[0218] This makes it easier for players to join a competitive game than to start one. This gives players an advantage, so more players will participate in a single competitive game. Players can communicate with other players or ask for help. This will allow players to progress through the game, making it more lively.

[0219] (Variation 6) In the above description, the game effect is applied to a competitive game against an enemy game medium. However, the present invention is not limited to this and may be applied to other games. The game is, for example, a competitive game between a player who starts the game and other players. Other games involve a group of players, including the player who started the game, It may also be a competitive game against a group of other players (so-called "GvG"). In other games, the player who started the game cooperates with other players to complete a given game. It may also be a game in which players conquer stages (so-called "cooperative multiplayer").

[0220] Even in this case, for example, the points given to players who joined the game after the game ended may not be used. By applying game effects that change the content, number or probability of receiving the bonuses, Layers will be given more benefits, which will increase their motivation to participate in the game. Also, parameters associated with the player game media of the players who participated in the game may be changed. By applying game effects that move the player, the player can progress through the game more advantageously. This will increase the motivation to participate in the game.

[0221] (Variation 7) In the above explanation, the remaining time limit for a competitive game is managed for each competitive game. However, this is not limited to this. For example, the remaining time that can be continued in a match may be managed for each player. good.

[0222] In this case, the time limit area 616 of the battle game screen 610 displays the remaining time that can be used to continue the battle. The remaining time that can be continued in the battle is displayed as the time limit 135 in the opponent game medium table 1300. A specified match duration that is shorter than 0 (for example, if the time limit is 60 minutes or 30 minutes, The battle can continue for 10 minutes. This is the time that has elapsed since you joined the game. If this occurs, the player will withdraw from the competitive game.

[0223] In this case, the participating players table 1460 shows the players who are playing the competitive game. The time of entry is further associated with each player who joins the battle game and is stored. The time when a player starts a match or joins a competitive game. This is used to determine whether the remaining time for the match has reached zero. By doing so, the player will be able to withdraw from the game when the remaining time for the game becomes zero. Even if a player leaves the game, they can rejoin the game. The current progress of the battle game (for example, the remaining strength of the enemy game medium) will be inherited. Since players can play a competitive game without any hassle, the motivation to participate in the competitive game increases.

[0224] In addition, both the remaining time limit for each match game and the remaining time each player can continue the match are displayed. That is, when the remaining time for continuing the match reaches zero, If you leave the game and the time limit runs out, you will lose the game. By doing so, the player will be able to withdraw from the game when the remaining time for the game is zero. Even if you do, you will try to join the game again before the time limit reaches zero, so The motivation to participate in the battle game will be increased. At this time, If the remaining time limit of the battle game is shorter than the predetermined battle continuation time, The time may be displayed in the time limit area 616 on the fighting game screen 610.
