The client control unit 100 of the client terminal 10 may be of an application type, in which the client control unit 100 performs game-related processing based on an installed application. Figure 4 shows the application type as an example.

[0056] <Game Overview> Here, an overview of the games in this embodiment will be described. The games in this embodiment include at least a competitive game, a lottery game, and a combined game.

[0057] The battle game in this embodiment is a game in which an enemy character appears against a party made up of multiple characters, and each character making up the party fights against the enemy character that has appeared.

[0058] This fighting game features multiple quests with varying difficulty levels, each aimed at defeating enemy characters. Users can form a party using their own characters and select a quest to battle against enemy characters. During the battle, the user may be granted a character that is set to be obtainable in the selected quest.

[0059] If the user is able to defeat the enemy character and complete the quest, they can acquire the character that was assigned to them. The user can also use the acquired character to play a combined game.

[0060] In the present embodiment, the lottery game is a game in which, upon receiving a user's operation to execute a character lottery, a character selected from a group of characters that are the subject of the lottery based on lottery conditions is awarded to the user. The user can play a fighting game or a compositing game using the awarded character.

[0061] The synthesis game in this embodiment is a game in which, upon receiving an operation from a user to execute character synthesis, the player combines the original character (original character) with a character that will be used as a synthesis material (material character) to strengthen the abilities of the original character (strengthening synthesis) or to grow the original character to the next stage and evolve it into a target character (evolved character) (evolutionary synthesis).

[0062] Users select a source character and a material character from their own characters and perform strengthening or evolutionary synthesis. In strengthening synthesis, the material character is removed from the user's possession, but the ability value of the source character they continue to own can be improved or new skills can be added. In evolutionary synthesis, by combining all material characters that are pre-associated with a source character with that source character, the user will lose all of the material characters from their possession, but will be able to possess an evolved character that has been developed from the source character.

[0063] <Operation> Example 1 (Character selection on acquisition screen) FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of processing when a user selects a character on the acquisition screen.

[0064] When the user completes the quest, the client terminal 10 displays a first acquisition screen on the screen display unit 160, which includes one or more acquired characters (first characters), one or more source characters (second characters), and a character for instructing sales (third character) (step S11).

[0065] Specifically, when a user clears a quest, the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 requests the server access unit 103 to execute a clearing process. When the server access unit 103 of the client terminal 10 is requested by the game execution unit 101 to execute a clearing process, the server access unit 103 transmits a request to clear the quest together with the user ID to the server device 20.

[0066] When the request processing unit 201 of the server device 20 accepts the request, it requests the information management unit 202 to execute the data acquisition process. When the information management unit 202 of the server device 20 is requested to execute the data acquisition process by the request processing unit 201, it references the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and acquires the user information of the user corresponding to the transmitted user ID. The request processing unit 201 transmits the user information acquired by the information management unit 202 to the client terminal 10.

[0067] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of user information, which includes items such as user ID, name, rank, owned characters, original characters, quest data, and party.

[0068] The user ID is information for uniquely identifying a user. The name is information indicating the user's user name. The rank is information indicating the user's game level. The owned characters are information indicating characters owned by the user. Here, this includes characters acquired by playing various quests set in the quest information stored in the quest information storage unit 223 and various lottery games set in the lottery game information stored in the lottery game information storage unit 224. In other words, the owned characters are any of the characters set in the character information stored in the character information storage unit 221. The synthesis source character is information indicating one or more synthesis source characters registered in advance by the user. The quest data is information indicating the quest currently being played. Here, as shown in parentheses in the figure, one or more acquired characters assigned by the assigning unit 102 during the play of the quest are also set. The party is information indicating each character constituting the user's party.

[0069] Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of character information, which includes items such as character ID, name, rarity, specialization, ability parameters, skills, evolved characters, and material characters.

[0070] The character ID is information for uniquely identifying various characters. The name is information indicating the character's name. The rarity is information indicating the rarity of the character. Here, one of multiple levels (e.g., five levels) of rarity is set. The specialization is information indicating that the character has a specific use, such as for synthesis or sale. The ability parameters are information indicating the character's abilities. Here, ability values ​​such as attack, defense, and HP are set. The skill is information indicating the special skill that can be activated. The skill can be activated by using the special character as a material character in an enhanced synthesis. The evolved character is information indicating the evolved character that will be synthesized when an evolutionary synthesis is performed. Note that it is possible to set two or more evolved characters for one character. The material character is information indicating the material character that is pre-associated with the original character. This material character is the character required for the evolutionary synthesis.

[0071] Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of quest information, which includes items such as a quest ID, a name, obtainable characters, points to be consumed, and enemy characters.

[0072] The quest ID is information for uniquely identifying a quest. The name is information indicating the name of the quest. The obtainable characters are information indicating the various characters that can be obtained based on a predetermined probability when the quest is cleared. The points consumed are information indicating the amount of points consumed when playing the quest. The enemy characters are information indicating the various characters that appear in the quest. Here, this includes enemy characters set as the main boss character and enemy characters set as sub-characters other than the boss.

[0073] 9 is a diagram showing an example of lottery game information. The lottery game information shown in FIG. 9 includes items such as lottery ID, name, obtainable character, probability, etc.

[0074] The lottery ID is information for uniquely identifying the lottery game. The name is information indicating the name of the lottery game. The obtainable characters are information indicating the various characters that can be obtained when playing the lottery game. The probability is information indicating the probability that the obtainable character will be drawn by lottery.

[0075] 5, thereafter, upon receiving the information transmitted from the server device 20, the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 requests the display control unit 104 to execute screen display processing. Upon receiving the request to execute screen display processing from the game execution unit 101, the display control unit 104 of the client terminal 10 generates a first acquisition screen based on the user information transmitted from the server device 20 and displays it on the screen display unit 160.

[0076] 10 is an image diagram showing an example of the first acquisition screen 510. This first acquisition screen 510 displays a synthesis source character display area 511, an acquired character display area 512, a selling instruction character 513, and an operation button 514 for confirming the character selection.

[0077] The source character display area 511 displays one or more source characters registered in advance by the user based on the source character set in the user information shown in Fig. 6. Here, multiple source characters are displayed.

[0078] Acquired character display area 512 displays one or more acquired characters that the user has acquired by clearing a quest, based on the quest data set in the user information shown in Fig. 6. Here, multiple acquired characters are displayed.

[0079] The selling instruction character 513 is a character used when selecting a character to be sold. Here, only one character (icon) shaped like a trash can is displayed.

[0080] Returning to FIG. 5, the display control unit 104 of the client terminal 10 then determines whether or not a first operation input has been received based on a user operation while the first acquired screen 510 of FIG. 10 is being displayed (step S12).

[0081] This first operation input is an operation input in which the user performs a touch operation on the touch panel to select a material character for the source character to be displayed in the source character display area 511 from among the acquired characters displayed in the acquired character display area 512.

[0082] In this embodiment, when the first acquisition screen 510 is displayed, the position indicated on the screen by the user moves between the display position of a certain acquired character and the display position of a certain source character, and the movement of the position indicated ends at the display position of that certain acquired character or the display position of that certain source character, thereby causing the operation input receiving unit 150 to receive the first operation input.

[0083] Also, at this time, if the indication position passes through the display position of another acquired character while moving between the display position of that acquired character and the display position of that source character, a first operation input can be accepted to select the other acquired character as a material character as well.

[0084] For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the display position of "Character G" displayed in acquired character display area 512 is touched to designate the acquired character, and the designated position is then slid across the screen until it reaches the display position of "Character B" displayed in source character display area 511 to designate the source character. As a result, the first operation input is accepted by operation input accepting unit 150, and the acquired character "Character G" is selected as the material character for the source character "Character B." At this time, the display mode of the selected "Character G" may be changed to let the user know that it is being selected. This makes it possible to reduce erroneous selections by the user.

[0085] Additionally, in this case, the pointing position does not pass through the display positions of the other acquired characters while moving from the display position of "Character G" to the display position of "Character B." Therefore, acquired characters other than "Character G" are not selected.

[0086] In addition, this first operation input may select "Character G" as the material character when the user's finger touching the screen reaches the display position of "Character B," or may select "Character G" as the material character when the user's finger, which has reached the display position of "Character B," is lifted from the screen.

[0087] Alternatively, for example, the source character may be designated by touching the display position of "Character B" displayed in source character display area 511, and the designated position may be slid across the screen until it reaches the display position of "Character G" displayed in acquired character display area 512, thereby designating the acquired character. This allows the first operation input to be accepted by operation input accepting unit 150, and the acquired character "Character G" to be selected as the material character for the source character "Character B."

[0088] In this way, when it is determined that the first operation input by the user's operation has been accepted by the operation input accepting unit 150 (step S12: "YES"), the acquired character designated by the user from the acquired character display area 512 is selected as the material character for the source character designated by the user from the source character display area 511 (step S13).

[0089] On the other hand, if it is determined that the first operation input by the user's operation has not been accepted by the operation input accepting unit 150 (step S12: "NO"), the process proceeds to the subsequent step S14.

[0090] Next, the display control unit 104 of the client terminal 10 determines whether or not a second operation input has been received based on a user operation while the first acquired screen 510 of FIG. 10 is being displayed (step S14).

[0091] This second operation input is an operation input in which the user performs a touch operation on the touch panel to select a character to be sold from among the acquired characters displayed in acquired character display area 512.

[0092] In this embodiment, when the first acquisition screen 510 is displayed, the instruction position on the screen instructed by the user moves between the display position of a certain acquisition character and the display position of the character for sales instructions, and the movement of the instruction position ends at the display position of the certain acquisition character or the display position of the character for sales instructions, whereby the operation input receiving unit 150 receives the second operation input.

[0093] Also, at this time, if the indication position passes the display position of another acquired character while moving between the display position of the acquired character and the display position of the character for instructing the sale, a second operation input can be accepted to select the other first character as a character to be sold as well.

[0094] For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the display position of "Character D" displayed in acquired character display area 512 is touched to designate the acquired character, and the designated position is then slid across the screen until it reaches the display position of character for sale 513. At this time, while moving from the display position of "Character D" to the display position of character for sale 513, the designated position passes through the display position of "Character H." As a result, a second operation input is received by operation input receiving unit 150, and the acquired characters "Character D" and "Character H" are selected as characters to be sold. At this time, the display mode of the selected "Character D" and "Character H" may be changed to let the user know that they are being selected. This makes it possible to reduce erroneous selections by the user.

[0095] In addition, this second operation input may select "Character D" and "Character H" as the characters to be sold when the user's finger touching the screen reaches the display position of the character 513 to be designated for sale, or may select "Character D" and "Character H" as the characters to be sold when the user's finger that has reached the display position of the character 513 to be designated for sale is removed from the screen.

[0096] Also, for example, after touching the display position of the character 513 to be designated for sale, the designated position may be slid across the screen until it reaches the display positions of "Character H" and "Character D" displayed in acquired character display area 512 in order to designate them. This allows the second operation input to be received by operation input receiving unit 150, and it is also possible to select the acquired characters "Character H" and "Character D" as characters to be sold.

[0097] In this way, when it is determined that the second operation input by the user's operation has been accepted by the operation input acceptance unit 150 (step S14: "YES"), the acquired character designated by the user from the acquired character display area 512 is selected as the character to be sold (step S15).

[0098] On the other hand, if it is determined that the second operation input by the user's operation has not been accepted by the operation input accepting unit 150 (step S14: "NO"), the process proceeds to the subsequent step S16.

[0099] Next, the display control unit 104 of the client terminal 10 determines whether the first operation input and the second operation input are completed based on the user's operation while the first acquisition screen 510 of Fig. 10 is displayed (step S16). That is, it determines whether the operation button 514 is selected by the user while the acquisition screen 510 is displayed.

[0100] As a result of this determination, if the operation button 514 has not been selected by the user (step S16: "NO"), the process returns to the above-described step S12, and it is determined again whether or not the first operation input has been made.

[0101] On the other hand, if the user selects the operation button 514 (step S16: "YES"), it is determined whether or not any acquired characters that have not been selected by the user remain in the acquired character display area 512 (step S17).

[0102] As a result of this determination, if there are still acquired characters in the acquired character display area 512 that have not been selected by the user (step S17: "YES"), the acquired characters that have not been selected by the user are set as characters owned by the user (step S18).

[0103] On the other hand, if there is no acquired character in acquired character display area 512 that has not been selected by the user (step S17: "NO"), the process proceeds to the subsequent step S19.

[0104] Next, the display control unit 104 of the client terminal 10 generates a confirmation screen based on the selection status of each character set in the processes of steps S13, S15, and S18 described above, and displays the generated confirmation screen on the screen display unit 160.

[0105] 11 is an image diagram showing an example of a confirmation screen 550. This confirmation screen 550 displays a composite character display area 551, a character for sale display area 552, a character in possession display area 553, an operation button 554 for confirming the character selection, and an operation button 555 for canceling the character selection.

[0106] The combination character display area 551 displays the combination source character selected by the user with the first operation input and the acquired characters that will be used as the combination material for that character. The character for sale display area 552 displays the acquired characters to be sold that the user selected with the second operation input. The owned character display area 553 displays the acquired characters that were not selected with the first or second operation input as owned characters.

[0107] Returning to FIG. 5, the display control unit 104 of the client terminal 10 then determines whether or not the operation button 554 has been selected based on a user operation while the confirmation screen 550 of FIG. 11 is being displayed (step S20).

[0108] If the result of this determination is that the user does not select operation button 554, that is, if operation button 555 is selected (step S20: "NO"), the process returns to the processing of step S11 described above, and the user is prompted to select an acquisition character again on the first acquisition screen 510.

[0109] On the other hand, when the user selects the operation button 554 (step S20: "YES"), the game execution unit 101 executes various processes related to character synthesis, sale, and possession (step S21).

[0110] Thereafter, the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 transmits a request for completing character selection from the server access unit 103 to the server device 20 together with the user information and user ID held on the client terminal 10 side.

[0111] When the request processing unit 201 of the server device 20 receives the request, it causes the information management unit 202 to update the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222. As a result, on the first acquisition screen of Fig. 10, acquired characters sold by the user's selection and acquired characters that have become synthesis materials are set to characters not owned by the user, and acquired characters not selected by the user are set to characters owned by the user.

[0112] (Character selection on possession screen) 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing when a user selects a character on the possession screen. The present invention is not limited to the processing when selecting a character on the acquisition screen as described above, but can also be applied to the processing when selecting a character on the possession screen.

[0113] The processes from step S32 to step S36 shown in Fig. 12 are the same as the processes from step S12 to step S16 shown in Fig. 5. The processes from step S37 to step S39 shown in Fig. 12 are the same as the processes from step S19 to step S21 shown in Fig. 5. Therefore, a description of each process from step S32 onwards shown in Fig. 12 will be omitted.

[0114] In response to a user's operation, the client terminal 10 displays a first possession screen on the screen display unit 160, which includes one or more possessed characters (first characters), one or more source characters (second characters), and a character for instructing sales (third character) (step S31).

[0115] Specifically, in response to a user operation, the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 requests the server access unit 103 to execute a character viewing process. When the server access unit 103 of the client terminal 10 is requested by the game execution unit 101 to execute a character viewing process, the server access unit 103 transmits a request to view the client's own character together with the user ID to the server device 20.

[0116] When the request processing unit 201 of the server device 20 accepts the request, it requests the information management unit 202 to execute the data acquisition process. When the information management unit 202 of the server device 20 is requested to execute the data acquisition process by the request processing unit 201, it references the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and acquires the user information of the user corresponding to the transmitted user ID. The request processing unit 201 transmits the user information acquired by the information management unit 202 to the client terminal 10.

[0117] Thereafter, when the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 receives the user information transmitted from the server device 20, it requests the display control unit 104 to execute screen display processing. When the display control unit 104 of the client terminal 10 receives a request to execute screen display processing from the game execution unit 101, it generates a first possession screen based on the user information transmitted from the server device 20 and displays it on the screen display unit 160.

[0118] 13 is an image diagram showing an example of the first possession screen 580. This first possession screen 580 displays a synthesis source character display area 581, a possessed character display area 582, a selling instruction character 583, and an operation button 584 for confirming the character selection.

[0119] The source character display area 581 displays one or more source characters registered in advance by the user based on the source character set in the user information shown in Fig. 6. Here, multiple source characters are displayed.

[0120] The owned character display area 582 displays one or more owned characters that the user has acquired by playing a fighting game (quest) or a lottery game, based on the owned characters set in the user information shown in Fig. 6. Here, multiple owned characters are displayed.

[0121] The selling instruction character 583 is a character used when selecting a character to be sold. Here, only one character resembling a trash can is displayed.

[0122] In this way, when the first possession screen 580 of Figure 12 is displayed, the user can select one of the possessed characters and easily perform synthesis, sale, etc. by performing the first operation input or the second operation input.

[0123] Example 2 (Character selection on acquisition screen) 14 is a flowchart showing another example of the process when the user selects a character on the acquisition screen. In the above-mentioned specific example 1, a case where a selling instruction character (third character) is displayed on the acquisition screen is explained as an example, but in this specific example 2, a case where a selling instruction character is not displayed on the acquisition screen is explained.

[0124] The processes from step S45 to step S51 shown in Fig. 14 are the same as the processes from step S15 to step S21 shown in Fig. 5. Therefore, the description of each process from step S32 onwards shown in Fig. 14 will be omitted.

[0125] When the user completes the quest, the client terminal 10 displays a second acquisition screen including one or more acquired characters (first characters) and one or more synthesis source characters (second characters) on the screen display unit 160 (step S41).

[0126] 15 is an image diagram showing an example of the second acquisition screen 590. This second acquisition screen 590 displays a synthesis source character display area 591, an acquired character display area 592, and an operation button 594 for confirming the character selection.

[0127] Next, the display control unit 104 of the client terminal 10 determines whether or not a first operation input has been received based on a user operation while the second acquisition screen 590 of Fig. 15 is being displayed (step S42). Note that the first operation input is processed in the same manner as in step S12 shown in Fig. 5 described above.

[0128] If it is determined as a result of this determination that the first operation input by the user's operation has been accepted by the operation input acceptance unit 150 (step S42: "YES"), the acquired character designated by the user from the acquired character display area 592 is selected as the material character for the source character designated by the user from the source character display area 591 (step S43).

[0129] On the other hand, if it is determined that the first operation input by the user's operation has not been accepted by the operation input accepting unit 150 (step S42: "NO"), the process proceeds to the subsequent step S44.

[0130] Next, the display control unit 104 of the client terminal 10 determines whether or not a second operation input has been received based on a user operation while the second acquired screen 590 of FIG. 15 is being displayed (step S44).

[0131] This second operation input is an operation input in which the user performs a touch operation on the touch panel to select a character to be sold from among the acquired characters displayed in acquired character display area 592.

[0132] In this embodiment, when the second acquisition screen 590 is displayed, the operation input receiving unit 150 receives the second operation input when the position on the screen indicated by the user is positioned at the display position of a certain acquired character.

[0133] Also, at this time, if the indication position passes through the display position of another acquired character while moving between the display position of that acquired character and the display position of another acquired character, a second operation input can be accepted to select the other first character as a character to be sold as well.

[0134] For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the display position of "Character D" displayed in acquired character display area 592 is touched to designate the acquired character, and the designated position is then slid across the screen to move to the display position of "Character F." At this time, while moving from the display position of "Character D" to the display position of "Character F," the designated position passes through the display position of "Character E." As a result, a second operation input is accepted by operation input accepting unit 150, and the acquired characters "Character D," "Character E," and "Character F" are selected as characters to be sold. At this time, the display mode of the selected "Character D," "Character E," and "Character F" may be changed to let the user know that they are being selected. This can reduce erroneous selections by the user.

[0135] In addition, this second operation input may select "Character D," "Character E," and "Character F" as characters to be sold when the user's finger touching the screen reaches the display position of "Character F," or may select "Character D," "Character E," and "Character F" as characters to be sold when the user's finger that has reached the display position of "Character F" is lifted from the screen.

[0136] In this way, when the second acquisition screen 590 of Figure 15 is displayed, the user can select one of the acquired characters by performing the first operation input or the second operation input, and easily perform synthesis, sale, etc.

[0137] (Character selection on possession screen) 16 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing when a user selects a character on the possession screen. The present invention is not limited to the processing when selecting a character on the acquisition screen as described above, but can also be applied to the processing when selecting a character on the possession screen. Furthermore, while the above-mentioned specific example 1 has been described using an example in which a selling instruction character (third character) is displayed on the possession screen, this specific example 2 will describe a case in which a selling instruction character is not displayed on the possession screen.

[0138] The processes from step S62 to step S36 shown in Fig. 16 are the same as the processes from step S42 to step S46 shown in Fig. 14. The processes from step S67 to step S69 shown in Fig. 16 are the same as the processes from step S49 to step S51 shown in Fig. 14. Therefore, a description of each process from step S62 onwards shown in Fig. 16 will be omitted.

[0139] In response to a user operation, the client terminal 10 displays a second owned screen including one or more owned characters (first characters) and one or more source characters (second characters) on the screen display unit 160 (step S61).

[0140] 17 is an image diagram showing an example of the second possession screen 600. This second possession screen 600 displays a composite source character display area 601, a possessed character display area 602, and an operation button 604 for confirming the character selection.

[0141] The source character display area 601 displays one or more source characters registered in advance by the user based on the source character set in the user information shown in Fig. 6. Here, multiple source characters are displayed.

[0142] The owned character display area 602 displays one or more owned characters that the user has acquired by playing a fighting game (quest) or a lottery game, based on the owned characters set in the user information shown in Fig. 6. Here, multiple owned characters are displayed.

[0143] In this way, when the second possession screen 600 of Figure 16 is displayed, the user can select one of the possessed characters and easily perform synthesis, sale, etc. by performing the first operation input or the second operation input.

[0144] Example 3 (Character selection on acquisition screen) 18 is a flowchart showing another example of the process when the user selects a character on the acquisition screen. In Example 3, unlike Examples 1 and 2 described above, acquired characters are displayed separately on the acquisition screen.

[0145] The processes from step S72 to step S81 shown in Fig. 18 are the same as the processes from step S12 to step S21 shown in Fig. 5. Therefore, the description of each process from step S72 onwards shown in Fig. 18 will be omitted.

[0146] When the user completes the quest, the client terminal 10 displays a third acquisition screen on the screen display unit 160, which includes one or more acquired characters (first characters), one or more source characters (second characters), and a character for instructing sales (third character) (step S71).

[0147] Specifically, when a user clears a quest, the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 requests the server access unit 103 to execute a clearing process. When the server access unit 103 of the client terminal 10 is requested by the game execution unit 101 to execute a clearing process, the server access unit 103 transmits a request to clear the quest together with the user ID to the server device 20.

[0148] When the request processing unit 201 of the server device 20 accepts the request, it requests the information management unit 202 to execute data acquisition processing. When the information management unit 202 of the server device 20 receives a request to execute data acquisition processing from the request processing unit 201, it references the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and acquires the user information of the user corresponding to the transmitted user ID. In addition, the information management unit 202 references the character information stored in the character information storage unit 221 and acquires character information of each acquired character included in the quest data set in the acquired user information. The request processing unit 201 transmits the user information and character information acquired by the information management unit 202 to the client terminal 10.

[0149] Thereafter, when the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 receives the information transmitted from the server device 20, it requests the display control unit 104 to execute screen display processing. When the display control unit 104 of the client terminal 10 receives a request to execute screen display processing from the game execution unit 101, it generates a third acquisition screen based on the user information and character information transmitted from the server device 20 and displays the third acquisition screen on the screen display unit 160.

[0150] 19 is an image diagram showing an example of the third acquisition screen 610. This third acquisition screen 610 displays a synthesis source character display area 611, an acquired character display area 612, a selling instruction character 613, and an operation button 614 for confirming the character selection.

[0151] In the source character display area 611, one or more source characters registered in advance by the user are displayed based on the source character set in the user information shown in Fig. 6. Here, multiple source characters are displayed.

[0152] Acquired character display area 612 displays one or more acquired characters that the user has acquired by clearing a quest, based on the quest data set in the user information shown in Fig. 6. Here, multiple acquired characters are displayed.

[0153] In addition, in acquired character display area 612, the display position of acquired characters for synthesis is arranged closer to the display position of the source character, based on the specialization set in the character information shown in Fig. 7. This shortens the movement distance from acquired characters that are likely to be used as synthesis materials to the source character displayed in source character display area 611, making it easier to select characters that will be used as synthesis materials.

[0154] 7, acquired characters with lower rarity are displayed in the acquired character display area 612 closer to the selling instruction character 613. That is, the display position of acquired characters is controlled to change according to the rarity set for the acquired characters. This shortens the travel distance from acquired characters likely to be sold to the selling instruction character 613, making it easier to select characters to sell.

[0155] The selling instruction character 613 is a character used when selecting a character to sell. Here, only one character resembling a trash can is displayed.

[0156] In this way, when the third acquisition screen 610 of Figure 19 is displayed, the user can select one of the acquired characters by performing the first operation input or the second operation input, and easily perform synthesis, sale, etc.

[0157] In addition, in this specific example 3, as in the above-mentioned specific example 2, it is also possible to select the acquired character to be sold without displaying the selling instruction character 613 on the third acquisition screen 610.

[0158] Example 4 (Character selection on acquisition screen) 20 is a flowchart showing another example of the process when the user selects a character on the acquisition screen. In Example 4, unlike Examples 1-3 described above, a synthesis source character having the same skill as the acquired character is displayed on the acquisition screen.

[0159] The processes from step S92 to step S101 shown in Fig. 20 are the same as the processes from step S12 to step S21 shown in Fig. 5. Therefore, the description of each process from step S92 onwards shown in Fig. 20 will be omitted.

[0160] When the user completes the quest, the client terminal 10 displays a fourth acquisition screen on the screen display unit 160, which includes one or more acquired characters (first characters), one or more synthesis source characters (second characters), and a character for instructing sales (third character) (step S91).

[0161] Specifically, when a user clears a quest, the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 requests the server access unit 103 to execute a clearing process. When the server access unit 103 of the client terminal 10 is requested by the game execution unit 101 to execute a clearing process, the server access unit 103 transmits a request to clear the quest together with the user ID to the server device 20.

[0162] When the request processing unit 201 of the server device 20 accepts the request, it requests the information management unit 202 to execute data acquisition processing. When the information management unit 202 of the server device 20 receives a request to execute data acquisition processing from the request processing unit 201, it references the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and acquires the user information of the user corresponding to the transmitted user ID. The information management unit 202 also references the character information stored in the character information storage unit 221 and acquires character information for each acquired character included in the quest data set in the acquired user information. Furthermore, the information management unit 202 references the character information and user information and acquires possessed characters that have the same skills as the skills of the acquired characters. The request processing unit 201 transmits the user information, character information, etc. acquired by the information management unit 202 to the client terminal 10.

[0163] Thereafter, when the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 receives the information transmitted from the server device 20, it requests the display control unit 104 to execute screen display processing. When the display control unit 104 of the client terminal 10 is requested by the game execution unit 101 to execute screen display processing, it generates a fourth acquisition screen based on the user information, character information, etc. transmitted from the server device 20 and displays it on the screen display unit 160.

[0164] 21 is an image diagram showing an example of the fourth acquisition screen 620. This fourth acquisition screen 620 displays a synthesis source character display area 621, an acquired character display area 622, a selling instruction character 623, and an operation button 624 for confirming the character selection.

[0165] In the synthesis source character display area 621, owned characters that have the same skills as the acquired characters in the acquired character display area 622 are displayed based on the user information shown in Fig. 6 and the character information shown in Fig. 7. Here, multiple owned characters are displayed.

[0166] Acquired character display area 622 displays one or more acquired characters that the user has acquired by clearing a quest, based on the quest data set in the user information shown in Fig. 6. Here, multiple acquired characters are displayed.

[0167] Furthermore, in the acquired character display area 622, the display position of an acquired character with a skill is arranged closer to the source character display area 621 based on the skill set in the character information shown in FIG. 7. Also, an auxiliary line connects a possessed character and an acquired character with the same skill. This makes it easier to combine characters with the same skill. Note that by using an acquired character with the same skill as a synthesis material, the skill level of the possessed character that is the source of the synthesis can be increased. Note that if the skill level of the possessed character that is the source of the synthesis is at the maximum, it may not be arranged close to the source character display area 621.

[0168] 7, acquired characters with lower rarity are displayed in the acquired character display area 622 closer to the selling instruction character 623. This shortens the travel distance from acquired characters likely to be sold to the selling instruction character 623, making it easier to select characters to sell.

[0169] The selling instruction character 623 is a character used when selecting a character to be sold. Here, only one character resembling a trash can is displayed.

[0170] In this way, when the fourth acquisition screen 620 of Figure 21 is displayed, the user can select one of the acquired characters by performing the first operation input or the second operation input, and easily perform synthesis, sale, etc.

[0171] <Summary> As described above, with the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment, while the acquisition screen or possession screen is displayed, it is possible to select any acquired character or possessed character and easily perform character fusion, sale, etc. Therefore, even if there are multiple types of operation items for characters, such as character fusion or sale, it is not necessary to perform each operation. As a result, various operations performed by the user are simplified, thereby improving operability.

[0172] [Other embodiments] The above-described embodiments are intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention may be modified or improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and equivalents thereof are also included in the present invention. In particular, the following embodiments are also included in the present invention.

[0173] <Acquisition screen / Possession screen> In the above-described embodiment, the screen display may be controlled so that the size of the display area for a source character on the acquisition screen or possession screen changes depending on the number of characters displayed in the source character display area. For example, the display control unit 104 may control the screen display so that the fewer characters displayed in the source character display area, the larger the display area for that character. This makes it easier to select a character displayed in the source character display area, thereby reducing user error.

[0174] In the above-described embodiment, the number of characters displayed in the acquired character display area may also be displayed.

[0175] In the above-described embodiment, the display mode of the character selected by the first operation input or the second operation input may be changed when the acquisition screen or possession screen is displayed. For example, the display mode may be changed so that the character selected by the first operation input can be displayed in red and the character selected by the second operation input can be displayed in green, so that the characters can be distinguished from each other. This can reduce erroneous selections by the user.

[0176] In the above-described embodiment, when the acquisition screen or possession screen is displayed, it is also possible to control the display so that an auxiliary line connects the character to be used as a synthesis material selected by the first operation input with the source character. It is also possible to control the display so that an auxiliary line connects the character to be sold selected by the second operation input with the character for instructing sales. This can reduce erroneous selections by the user.

[0177] In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which, when a quest is cleared, multiple characters acquired as a result of play are displayed on the acquisition screen and become the operation targets of the first and second operation inputs, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a lottery game ends, multiple characters acquired as a result of play may be displayed on the acquisition screen and become the operation targets of the first and second operation inputs.

[0178] <1st operation input / 2nd operation input> In the above-described embodiment, a first operation input can be received by flicking the display position of the acquired character to the right (flicking upward), and the acquired character can be selected as a character to be used as a synthesis material. A second operation input can be received by flicking the display position of the acquired character to the left (flicking downward), and the acquired character can be selected as a character to be sold. In this case, the first operation input and the second operation input can be customized by user settings. In addition, in this case, after the selection, the screen can be transitioned to a selection screen for source characters (e.g., a possession screen), and the user can select one of the source characters.

[0179] In the above-described embodiment, when the acquisition screen or possession screen is displayed, the user may tap again on the display position of the character selected by the first operation input or the second operation input to cancel the selection. Also, the character being selected by sliding may be canceled when the user's finger touching the screen reaches a cancellation area within the screen (such as the outer frame of the screen or a blank area) or when the finger is removed from the screen.

[0180] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, when the acquisition screen or possession screen is displayed, the display position of the character selected by the first operation input or the second operation input may be locked so that the selection cannot be cancelled by the user further double-tapping.
