[0033] Information regarding game media refers to game media owned by the user (hereinafter referred to as "owned game media") It may be referred to as such.) This information is stored in association with the user in question. Also, For example, information about game media is a game media that the user temporarily possesses (hereinafter referred to as "rental"). This may be referred to as "Tarugame media." ) As information related to the user in question It may be remembered. Also, for example, other users who have a certain relationship with the user (e.g., "F The game media owned by a "Lend User" may be stored in association with the user. Various game media associated with the user may be referred to as user game media.

[0034] (Game Overview) Figure 1 shows the game system, terminal device, or server device of this embodiment. This figure shows an example of a game overview. As shown in Figure 1, the game system and terminal device , or server equipment, is a game machine that associates game media MA and game media MB with a user. To possess the ability.

[0035] Game media MA and game media MB are different game media. For example, game Media MA is a character that performs actions and / or makes statements in response to user instructions within the game. This is a game medium such as Rakuta. The game medium MB is automatically (by the user) within the game. It is a game medium in which characters, etc., perform actions and / or speak (which cannot be controlled). Game media MA performs actions that are automatically controlled (and cannot be controlled by the user) within the game and / Alternatively, it may be a game medium such as a character who speaks. Also, the game medium MB is in-game In games, characters and other game media perform actions and / or make statements in response to user instructions. However, that is also acceptable. In addition, the game media MA and / or the game media MB may be used within the game by the user. It may also be a game medium such as items that can be used in response to operational instructions. The game media MB may be the same game media.

[0036] If the user instructs the terminal device to associate the game media MA, the terminal The device and / or server device record information related to the game medium MA in association with the user. Executes a memory-based process. For example, a terminal device and / or a device that implements a selection game such as a lottery game. The server device, in response to the user's selection of a game and the instruction to start the game, selects from among multiple game media MAs. Then, select one or more game media MAs. And the terminal device and / or server device, The selected game media MA is associated with and stored for the user. The instructions to select the game media MA and start the game are included in the instructions for associating the game media MA. Born.

[0037] Furthermore, it enables games in which the game medium moves within the game space in response to user input. The terminal device and / or server device, in response to the user's instructions for a predetermined action, will control the game space. The user may be allowed to acquire one or more game media MAs placed in predetermined locations. Then, a game object resembling a treasure chest is placed at a designated location within the game space. In this case, in response to the user's instruction to open the treasure chest, one or more items set inside the treasure chest will be available. A number of game media MAs are acquired. Then, terminal devices and / or server devices are acquired. One or more game media MAs are associated with the user and stored. In this way, the game space Instructions for specific actions within the system are included in the instructions for associating the game medium MA.

[0038] The terminal device and / or server device will advance the game in response to user operations on the terminal. If this is done, information regarding the game medium MA will be provided to the user in accordance with the progress of the game. It may be stored and remembered. For example, terminal devices and / or server devices may store information related to the progress of the game. If certain conditions are met, information about the game medium MA is associated with the user and stored. It is also permissible. For example, the predetermined conditions are the conclusion of a competitive game that has progressed according to the user's instructions. These are conditions related to the outcome. Furthermore, the specified conditions apply to the game during gameplay on a specific game medium. The conditions may also be related to acquisition. Furthermore, the specified conditions may apply to the user's gameplay during gameplay. The conditions may also relate to a specific action performed by a medium.

[0039] The following applies to game media when the specified conditions relate to the results of a competitive game. Let's look at an example of associating information related to MA (Multiple Averages). For example, information related to the results of a competitive game. If the condition is that the user wins the game, then the user who wins the game is , obtain one or more game media MA. Also, the conditions regarding the results of the competitive game are - If the player lost or drew in the match, then the loss or draw in the match A user acquires one or more game media MAs. In this case, if the user loses a competitive game or Users who draw will have a lower level and / or rarity than those who win the match. Low game media MA etc may be acquired. And terminal devices and / or server devices The acquired game media MA is associated with and stored for the user.

[0040] Furthermore, fighting games are games in which the user's game device and the opponent's game device engage in combat. , or the racing car driven by the user's game medium and the racing car driven by the enemy game medium Racing games in which cars compete in races may be included. Also, competitive games may include: One or more user game media and one or more opposing game media are involved in a predetermined sport. This may include sports games and other forms of competition.

[0041] Next, in cases where the predetermined conditions are conditions relating to the acquisition of a specific game medium, Let's look at an example of linking information related to media MA (Marketing Automation). For example, acquiring information on a specific game media. The condition is that the user has acquired a specific item as they progress through the game. In addition, users who acquire a specific item will acquire one or more game media MAs. The conditions for obtaining game media are that the user acquires specific items as they progress through the game. If the number of items exceeds a predetermined number, users who have acquired a predetermined number or more of a specific item are... , acquire one or more game media MA. And the terminal device and / or server device, The acquired game media MA is associated with the user and stored.

[0042] Next, in the case where the predetermined condition is a condition relating to a predetermined action, the game medium MA Let's explain an example of associating information related to something. For example, the conditions related to a certain action are... If the user's game device has performed a predetermined action in response to the operator's instructions, A user who has instructed a game media to perform a specific action may use one or more game media MAs. To acquire. Also, the conditions for a predetermined action are determined by the user's operation instructions. If a different game medium than the home medium has performed a predetermined action, the other game medium A user who has instructed their body to perform a predetermined action will acquire one or more game media MAs. The terminal device and / or server device then receive one or more game media MAs. It is stored in association with the user.

[0043] Furthermore, terminal devices and / or server devices that realize games that grow the game medium are The game progresses by growing the game medium according to the instructions given by the player, and the outcome of the game is determined by the result of the game. Depending on the circumstances, users may be allowed to acquire one or more game media MAs. This means that when game media is used within the game, it will give the player an advantage in the game's progression. This involves changing the parameters of the game medium. An example of something that makes the game progress more favorable is... For example, it can speed up the progress of the game, and / or, in a competitive game, the opponent This includes things like the probability of winning by hand increasing. For example, as the game medium grows, The various parameter values ​​of the game medium, such as HP, MP, and attack power, may increase. If the skills of the game medium have not been unlocked due to the medium's growth, those skills will be unlocked. It may be released (made available for use).

[0044] For example, a game that grows the game medium is a game that provides material items and other game-related items to the game medium MA. This is a game that generates new game media (MA) by synthesizing existing media. For example, Terminal devices and / or server devices are associated with information regarding the game medium MA before synthesis. It stores information about the game media MA after synthesis, and the user's game media MA In accordance with the progress instructions (compositing instructions), the system reads out information about the game media MA after synthesis. The system stores information about the synthesized game media MA (Mixed Audio) in relation to the user.

[0045] Furthermore, a game that grows a game medium is one that combines two or more predetermined game mediums. This may also be a game that generates a new game medium MA. For example, a terminal device and / Alternatively, the server device may be associated with information about two or more predetermined game media after synthesis. It stores information about the game media MA, and the user has two or more specified games In accordance with the media's progress instructions (compositing instructions), information regarding the game media's MA after synthesis is read. Then, the system stores information about the synthesized game media MA (Master Audio) that has been read, associating it with the user.

[0046] A game that helps a game medium grow could be a training game for the game medium MA. Terminal device and / or server equipment, post-generation information associated with the pre-generation game medium MA It remembers information about the game media MA, and engages in nurturing activities (feeding) towards the game media MA. In response to user instructions to give and / or play, etc., the character grows Information regarding later game media MA was retrieved, and the retrieved information regarding the grown game media MA The system stores information associated with the user.

[0047] Thus, terminal devices and / or server devices acquire game media M through various acquisition methods. This enables associating information about A with the user. User operations via terminal device. If a game is realized in which a game medium moves within the game space according to instructions, then the game medium M The process of associating information about A with a user is performed, for example, by a terminal device. In this case, the processing load on the server device and the communication load between the terminal device and the server device are reduced. While doing so, the game medium MA can be provided to the user. Also, it is performed by a terminal device. Information regarding the game medium MA is associated with the user according to predetermined conditions related to the game's progress. In this case, the terminal device executes the process to advance the game and provides information about the game medium MA. This process associates the user with the server. Therefore, the server device's processing load and the end While reducing the communication load between the terminal device and the server device, the game media MA is provided to the user. It is possible. In games where the game medium is grown by running on a terminal device, the game medium When MA information is associated with a user, the terminal device processes the game to progress. This process is executed to associate the user with information about the game media MA. This reduces the processing load on the server device and the communication load between the terminal device and the server device. Furthermore, the game medium MA may be provided to the user. Selected games executed by the server device When associating information about the game media MA with the user based on the results of the m, the server device The system then executes a process to advance the selection game, and the terminal device plays a game depending on the result of the selection game. This process associates information about the media MA with the user. Therefore, the server device and The terminal device and other devices work together to process and associate information about the game media MA with the user.

[0048] Furthermore, the terminal device and server device associate information related to the game medium MA with the user. Games in which at least a portion of the game processing related to the processing is performed by a server device (selection) It can provide users with games, etc. The terminal device and server device can provide games. Game processing related to associating information about the media MA with the user is performed on the terminal device. This allows us to create games that are executed in this way (such as games that involve growing the game medium). As such, terminal devices and game devices will diversify the methods for acquiring game media MA. This provides a method for acquiring game media MAs with different communication loads between terminal devices and server devices. This makes it possible to do so.

[0049] As shown in Figure 1(a), the terminal device and / or server device are associated by the user. In response to the player's instructions, or in accordance with the game's progress as directed by the user, the player will receive a game. The MA (Media Audio) format is associated and stored (Figure 1(a)(1)).

[0050] Next, the terminal device and / or server device have a game medium MA associated with the user. The game medium determination process is executed to determine whether or not it is a specific game medium. , a game medium pre-stored in the terminal device and / or server device. The server device and / or the game media MA associated with the user is a specific game media. In that case, the parameter determination process is executed.

[0051] The parameter determination process determines if the parameter value of the game medium MA, which is a specific game medium, is a predetermined value. This is a process that determines whether or not something is true. For example, the parameters used in parameter determination processes If the value represents rarity, it is determined whether the rarity of the game media MA is "5" or not. Also, if the parameter value is rarity, the rarity of the game media MA exceeds "5". It may be determined whether or not this is the case. Also, if the parameter value is rarity, the game media MA It may also be determined whether the rarity is less than "5". In determining the parameter value, The meter values ​​include the level of the game medium MA, and / or the experience points of the game medium MA, etc. Various numerical values ​​may be used. Also, the specified value may be a natural number less than "5", and "5" may be used. Any natural number exceeding that number is also acceptable.

[0052] Furthermore, the parameter determination process is performed based on the parameters of the game medium MA, which is a specific game medium. It may also be a process that determines whether or not a parameter is constant. For example, in a parameter determination process If the parameter that can be present is a skill, then the specific game medium, Game Medium MA, possesses The system determines whether a skill is a specific skill or not.

[0053] The game media MA associated with the user is a specific game media and the game media MA If the parameter value is a predetermined value, the terminal device and / or server device will process the game medium MA. The associated game media MB is linked to and stored in relation to the user (Figure 1(a)(2)).

[0054] Figure 1(b) shows game media MA and game media M, which are different from the example shown in Figure 1(a). This is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a game function that associates B with a user. Figure 1(b) (1) In the same manner as in (1) of Figure 1(a), the terminal device and / or server device will provide the user with In response to association instructions, or in response to the game's progress in accordance with user instructions, The system associates and remembers the game media (MA) for each user.

[0055] The terminal device and / or server device will determine if the game media MA associated with the user is a specific game If the media is a mobile medium and the parameter value of the game medium MA is not a predetermined value, then the game medium MA The associated game media MB is not associated with the user (Figure 1(b)(2)). If the parameter value of the game medium MA, which is a specific game medium, is less than a predetermined value, the terminal device and / or the server device provides the user with the game medium MB associated with the game medium MA. It is not necessary to connect them. Also, the parameter values ​​of the game medium MA, which is a specific game medium, are predetermined. If the value is exceeded, the terminal device and / or server device are associated with the game medium MA. It is not necessary to associate the game media MB with the user. Also, the game is a specific game media. If the parameters of the media MA are not the specified parameters, the terminal device and / or server device Furthermore, it is not necessary to associate the game media MB associated with the game media MA with the user.

[0056] Furthermore, the terminal device and / or server device are used for games based on user operations on the terminal. As the game progresses, when the parameter value of the game media MA reaches a predetermined value, the game media MA The associated game media MB is linked to and remembered by the user (Figure 1(b)(3)). Furthermore, the terminal device and / or server device allow the game to progress based on the user's terminal operations. When the parameter value of the game medium MA reaches a predetermined value (or greater than or equal to a predetermined value) depending on the row, The game media MB associated with the game media MA may be stored in relation to the user. Furthermore, the terminal device and / or server device allow the game to progress based on the user's terminal operations. When the parameter value of the game medium MA reaches a predetermined value (or less than a predetermined value) depending on the row, The game media MB associated with the game media MA may be stored in relation to the user. Furthermore, the terminal device and / or server device allow the game to progress based on the user's terminal operations. When the game medium MA acquires predetermined parameters according to the row, the game medium M The game media MB associated with A may be associated with the user and stored in memory. When a media MA acquires predetermined parameters, it means that the game media MA has specific skills. This means that it becomes available (usable), etc. The conditions regarding MA parameters were not met, so the game medium MB was not associated with the user. If it cannot be attached, if the parameter conditions are met, the game media MB will It is remembered in association with "za".

[0057] As described above, in the game system, terminal device, or server device of this embodiment Depending on the conditions related to the game media MA associated with the user, The attached game media MB is associated with the user. In this way, the game system, edge In the terminal device or server device, instead of a monotonous method of associating game media MB, The game media MA associated with the game, or the game according to the parameters of the game media MA. A method for associating the MB media is provided. This allows the game system of this embodiment to Terminal devices or server devices enhance the user's motivation to associate with game media. This makes it possible.

[0058] Furthermore, in the game system, terminal device, or server device of this embodiment, multiple games Without the need for a data acquisition process (for example, a lottery for game media), a variety of game media can be obtained. A method for associating bodies is provided. As a result, the game system, terminal device, and The server device diversifies the association of game media with users, while also managing the relationship between game media. This makes it possible to reduce the processing load and / or communication load associated with sequential connection.

The information is stored in the terminal storage device 22 of the terminal device 2 of the user with user ID "U-00001". It can be done.

[0092] Information indicating the skills currently available in a user-generated game medium can be found, for example, in the skill assignment rules. Based on this, the game medium ID of the user game medium stored in the terminal storage device 22 is associated with it. It may be remembered. Below is an example of a skill assignment rule.

[0093] First, the level of the user game medium stored in the terminal storage device 22 is less than the first level. In this case, information indicating skills will not be associated with the game medium ID of the user's game medium. Next, the level of the user game medium stored in the terminal memory 22 reaches the first level. Accordingly, new information indicating Skill 1 has been added to the game medium ID of the user's game medium. It is stored in the terminal storage device 22 in association with it. And the user stored in the terminal storage device 22 - In response to the game medium reaching a second level, which is higher than the first level, Information indicating Skill 2 is newly associated with the game media ID of the user's game media and recorded in the terminal. It is stored in memory device 22.

[0094] For example, it is associated with the user with user ID "U-00001" shown in Figure 6(b). The user game media MA with game media ID "A-003" has reached level 1. It has not been done. Therefore, the user game media MA for game media ID "A-003" is the first In game media table T1, the game media ID "A-003" is associated with The skills "SK17" and "SK74" are currently unavailable. The second level may have different values ​​for each user game medium, and there may be at least 2 or more users It's also acceptable to use a value common to all gaming media.

[0095] The game media ID of the user game media stored in the terminal storage device 22 is used by the user Regardless of changes in the game medium's level, information indicating skills may be associated with this. In this case, until the user's game medium level reaches level 1, for example, skill level 1 Information indicating that the action is not possible and information indicating that Skill 2 cannot be executed are provided in the user game medium I. It is stored in association with D. The game progress unit 333 determines that the level of the user game medium is the first level. Upon reaching the bell, the game of the user game medium stored in the terminal memory 22 Change the information indicating that Skill 1 associated with the media ID cannot be executed to information indicating that it can be executed. The game progress unit 333 will update the second level if the user game medium's level is higher than the first level. Depending on the level reached, the user game medium's game stored in the terminal memory 22 Information indicating that Skill 2 associated with the Home Media ID cannot be executed has been changed to information indicating that it can be executed. Change it. Note that information indicating execution is not possible and information indicating execution is possible may be flag information. As a result, the game progress unit 333, during the progress of the game, will use information indicating that it is executable. This makes it possible to activate the effects of executable skills that are identified as such.

[0187] Action instruction object 604d is an action instruction object 604a~604c (Figure 9( It has the same function as a). For example, by operating the input device 24 by the user, When instruction object 604d is instructed, a list of action selections (not shown) is displayed, and - The action selection list includes one or more actions ("Attack", "Defense", "Skill") You can select one of the following (e.g., "Use") for action instruction object 604d. The user's actions specify the actions that the game medium MB will take, that is, the actions of the game The user's actions are specified for the media MB.

[0188] The processing unit 252 processes the game medium M by the time of the action of the game medium MB. If B's ​​actions are specified by the user, then the game medium MB used , to perform the specified action. When the game medium MB performs the specified action, the game The media MB is in a state where no action has been specified by the user. The progress processing unit 252, By the time the game media MB takes action, the game media MB will be acted upon by the user. If the specified state is not met, the game media MB used will be (by user operation) To cause an automatic action (that is not performed automatically).

[0189] Furthermore, before or during a competitive game, the game medium used will be selected according to the user's choice. An action to be performed automatically may be set from among the actions that MB can perform. In this case, for example, Before or during a competitive game, the user can set up an action setting screen (see diagram) in response to user instructions. (Not displayed) is shown. The action settings screen allows you to set the action that the game medium MB can perform. A selection object (such as a checkbox) is displayed for choosing an action to perform dynamically. In response to the user's selection operation on the selected object displayed on the action settings screen, the game used For each action that the MB (memory device) can perform, information is set to indicate whether or not it is an action that is performed automatically. This refers to an action that is automatically performed on the game medium (MB) used in competitive games. If the information to be shown is set, during a battle game, the progress processing unit 252 will use the game At the timing of the action of the media MB, the action to be performed automatically on the game media MB being used is as follows: To make the character perform a pre-set action.

[0190] Furthermore, before or during a competitive game, the game medium used will be selected according to the user's choice. Information regarding the direction of MB's actions may be set. In this case, for example, before a match. Alternatively, during a competitive game, an action setting screen (not shown) may be displayed in response to user instructions. The action settings screen allows you to select the direction of the action for the game medium MB being used. Multiple objects (radio buttons, etc.) are displayed. The direction of action of the game medium MB being used and For example, "Prioritize attack," "Prioritize magic," or "Prioritize survival (Game medium MB)" This includes things like "reducing the decrease in HP". In response to the user's selection, information indicating the selected direction is set. During the process, the progress processing unit 252, at the action timing of the game medium MB being used, The game medium MB is made to perform actions according to the set direction.

The effect may also be to reduce the game effects caused by the enemy game medium's skills.

[0193] (Modification 4) In competitive games using the MB game medium, each time a user wins, the game medium Parameter values ​​such as experience points associated with the Body MB may increase. In this case, the process will proceed. When parameter values ​​such as experience points reach a predetermined threshold, the level of the game medium MB is increased in section 252. You may increase the level of the game medium MB. Parameter values ​​such as defense, HP, and MP may also be increased. The progress processing unit 252 controls the game As the level of the media MB increases, the game effects from the game media MB's skills become more powerful. It may be changed to have a beneficial effect.

[0194] (Variation 5) Activation conditions may be set for the skills of the game medium MB. For example, the progress processing unit 252 The game media MA associated with the game media MB used is used as the game media MA. If used in a battle game, it may be controlled so that the skills of the game medium MB can be used. stomach.

[0195] Furthermore, the activation conditions for the skills of the game medium MB are based on matching the parameter values ​​of the game medium MA being used. The condition that the measured value falls below a predetermined standard value is also acceptable. In this case, the MB of the game media used is relevant. When a linked game media MA is used as the game media MA in a competitive game The predetermined reference value may be changed. In this way, the game associated with the game medium MB used When the MA (Music Media) is used as the game media MA in a competitive game, the game media M It becomes possible to change the activation conditions for skill B.

[0196] (Experimental variation 6) In the game media acquisition process, the parameter determination process is executed after the game media determination process. It does not have to be done. That is, in the game medium acquisition process, the acquisition unit 253 acquires the game medium Based on the results of the body detection process, the game medium MB is obtained, and the obtained game medium MB is related to The information may be included in the information about the user game medium stored in the terminal storage device 22.

[0197] In this case, the game media detection process determines that the game media MA is a specific game media. In response to this, the game media MB associated with the game media MA will be immediately transferred to the user. It does not have to be stored in association with a user. For example, the acquisition unit 253 does not have to store in association with a user. If the game media MA determines that it is a specific game media, the acquisition determination process is executed. In the determination process, the game media MA associated with the game that was determined to be a specific game medium is determined to be a game medium. It is determined whether the conditions for acquiring the MB media are met. Then, the acquisition determination process is performed. The conditions for obtaining Game Media MB associated with Game Media MA, which is a specific game media. If it is determined that the condition is met, the acquisition unit 253 acquires the game medium MB whose acquisition condition has been met. New user game medium information, including information about the user ID, is linked to the end The terminal registration process to be stored in the end memory 22 is executed. The conditions for acquiring the game medium MB are, for example, The following applies:

[0198] The acquired game media MA is placed in a designated location within the game space. If the game media MA is available and acquired in response to the user's predetermined actions, then the game The acquisition conditions for media MB are set according to the placement location of the game media MA. For example If the location of the acquired game media MA is within a specific area, the acquisition of the game media MA Along with the gain, the game media MB may be obtained by the user. That is, the game media MB The acquisition condition is that the game media MA placed within a specific area has been acquired. If the location of the acquired game medium MA is outside a specific area, the predetermined game progression conditions are not met. Depending on whether the conditions are met, the game medium MB may be obtained by the user. For example, The conditions for game progression are that a predetermined time has passed since the acquisition of the game media MA, and the game The game's playtime using the MA (Medium Audio) media has exceeded the specified time, or the game's MA media has exceeded the specified time. This includes clearing the designated events used. In other words, the conditions for obtaining the game medium MB are If a game media MA located outside a specific area acquires it, additional conditions are met. That was done.

[0199] Furthermore, if the acquired game media MA is found to have met certain conditions regarding the progress of the game, If the game media MA was acquired in conjunction with the game, the acquisition conditions for the game media MB are the progress of the game. These are conditions that depend on the specified conditions related to the game medium.

[0201] Furthermore, the acquired game media MA is acquired in accordance with the results of the game that helps grow the game media. If the acquired game media is MA, the acquisition conditions for the game media MB are related to the game. This is a condition. For example, if the acquired game media MA is a game media such as the first material item If the game media MA is newly generated by the synthesis of the existing components, then acquire the game media MA. In addition, the game media MB may be obtained by the user. A is a game medium newly generated by the synthesis of a second material item or other game medium. In the case of a physical MA, it involves combining a third material item or other game medium with the game medium MA. A separate game media MA is generated, and a predetermined time has passed since the game media MA was acquired. Having exceeded the allotted time, or having the play time of a game using the game medium MA exceeded the allotted time, By clearing a designated event using the game medium, etc., the game medium MB becomes usable It may be obtained by The.

[0202] Furthermore, acquired game media MAs are obtained according to the results of the training game of the game media MA. If the game media is MA, the conditions for obtaining the game media MB are the terms and conditions relating to the game. This is the case. For example, by further developing the acquired game media MA, another game media When a character evolves (changes) into a physical MA, the game medium MB may be acquired by the user.

[0203] Furthermore, the acquired game media MA indicates that at least a portion of the game processing is performed by the server device. If the game medium MA is based on the result of the game being played (selection game, etc.), then the game Along with acquiring the media MA, the game media MB may also be acquired by the user. In this case, acquisition The game medium MA is a game in which game processing is performed by a terminal device (game medium In the case of a game media MA (Marketing Adaptation) that is based on the results of a game (such as a game that promotes growth), the game media MA will be The specified time has elapsed since the acquisition, and the play time of the game using the game medium MA is This may be due to exceeding the time limit or clearing a designated event using the game medium. The game media MB may be obtained by the user.

[0204] Furthermore, the acquired game media MA is a game in which game processing is performed by a terminal device. In the case of a game media MA (Multi-Aid for Game Media) that is based on the results of (games that grow the game media), Along with acquiring the media MA, the game media MB may also be acquired by the user. In this case, acquisition The game media MA is configured such that at least part of the game processing is performed by a server device. If the game media MA is based on the results of the game (selection game, etc.), the game media MA will be The specified time has elapsed since the acquisition, and the play time of the game using the game medium MA is This may be due to exceeding the time limit or clearing a designated event using the game medium. The game media MB may be obtained by the user.

[0205] Thus, the game system 1, terminal device 2, and server device 3 enable the user themselves Depending on the instructions given or the progress of the game, there are various ways and timings to acquire the game. It is possible to obtain the MA (music box) and MB (game media) media. Therefore, the game system 1. Terminal device 2 and server device 3 prevent an increase in processing load or communication load. Furthermore, it enables a diversification of how users associate game media with other media.

[0206] (Example 7) In the game media acquisition process, the game media MA requires parameter determination processing, and The first game media table includes both the MA (Master Edition) and the game media that does not require lameter determination processing. T1 may be used. Below, the game media MA that requires parameter determination processing will be used. Game media MA1 is a game media MA that does not require parameter judgment processing. It is referred to as MA2. Also, the game media MB associated with game media MA1 is referred to as game Referred to as media MB1, the game media MB associated with game media MA2 is referred to as game media M It is referred to as B2.

[0207] In this case, association table T3 is the association between game media MB1 and game media MA1. It is used for managing the game medium. Furthermore, the server storage device 32 and the terminal storage device 22 are used for managing the game medium. Association table T5 (illustrated) for managing the association between body MB2 and game media MA2. You may remember this instead.

[0208] For example, the acquisition unit 253 determines that the acquired information regarding the game media MA is the first specific game media A first game medium determination process is executed to determine whether or not the information is related to the body. The game media is the game media associated with game media MB1 in association table T3. This is the MA1 body. Next, the acquisition unit 253 determines that the information regarding the acquired game medium MA is the first If the information pertains to a specific game medium, it will be included in the acquired game medium MA information. A parameter determination process is executed to determine whether the parameter value is a predetermined value or not. The acquisition unit 253 determines that the parameter values ​​included in the acquired game medium MA information are predetermined values. If so, refer to the second game medium table T2 and association table T3, game Retrieve information about the game media MB associated with information about the media MA.

[0209] The acquisition unit 253 determines that the acquired information regarding the game medium MA pertains to the first specific game medium. If the information is not relevant, the information obtained regarding the game media MA will be related to the second specific game media. A second game medium determination process is executed to determine whether or not the information is relevant. Second specific game medium In association table T5, game media MB2 is associated with game media MA2 Next, the acquisition unit 253 determines that the acquired information regarding the game medium MA is the second specific game If the information pertains to a specific media, then the second game media table T2 and the association table T3 are used. Refer to the information about game media MB associated with the information about game media MA. Obtain it.

[0210] The acquisition unit 253 stores the acquired information regarding the game medium MB in the terminal storage device 22. The acquired user includes information about the game medium. Next, the acquisition unit 253 acquires the acquired game New user game media information, including information about the MB media, will be linked to the user ID. The terminal registration process is executed to store the information in the terminal storage device 22.

[0211] The first game medium determination process and parameter determination process are performed after the execution of the second game medium determination process. It may be executed at this time. Alternatively, the second game medium determination process may be performed after the first game medium determination process is executed. The logic is executed, and then a parameter determination process is performed according to the result of the first game medium determination process. It may also be used.

[0212] In this way, the user repeatedly gives instructions to acquire the game medium, and the game system 1, terminal The terminal device 2 and the server device 3 do not repeatedly execute the process of acquiring the game medium, Depending on the instructions you give or the progress of the game, there are various ways and timings to acquire items. Game media MA and game media MB can be obtained. Therefore, the game system The components 1, 2, and 3 prevent an increase in processing load or communication load. Furthermore, it enables a diversification of how users associate games with different media.

[0213] (Variation 8) At least a portion of the functions of the progress processing unit 252 and acquisition unit 253 of the terminal device 2 are performed by the server device This may be implemented by the server processing unit 33 of the server device 3.
