By doing so, when a request to present the base card is received, the server device 2 downloads the The user selects the user and refers to the data of the user registered in the user DB 224. A base card selection screen P2 showing a list of available base cards is displayed on the display 61. (step st104).

[0078] FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the selection screen P2 displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5. do. The selection screen P2 displays a list of cards that the user can select as a base card from among the cards owned by the user. Multiple cards CB1 to CB6 are displayed. Note that if the user owns cards that cannot be evolved, If there are cards that can be evolved, do not display any cards that cannot be evolved, or display only the base The card may be displayed in gray so that it can be recognized that it cannot be selected as a card.

[0079] The user touches the area of ​​the display 61 where the card CB1 is displayed. By appropriately operating the game device 5, for example, the card CB1 is selected as the base card. When such an operation is performed, the reception means 565 of the game device 5 receives the base The card selection operation is accepted (step st105).

[0080] The specifying means 566 of the game device 5 specifies the base card in response to the user's selection operation. Search each data of evolution condition DB222 downloaded from server device 2 and Identify the necessary material cards needed to evolve (step ST106).

[0081] The extraction means 567 of the game device 5 functions as a first extraction means. Search each data in quest DB223 downloaded from server device 2 and find the required material. The quests in which the game can be played are identified (step st107). Each user registered in the user DB 224 downloaded from the server device 2 By referencing the data, the recommended quest extraction conditions set by the user can be identified. The extraction means 567 extracts a plurality of available recommended quests according to the specified recommended quest extraction conditions. From the quests, extract the recommended quests (step st108). If there is only one available quest, that available quest will be displayed as the recommended quest. Uniquely extracted.

[0082] <Displaying recommended quests, etc.> When a recommended quest is extracted, the display control means 568 of the game device 5 displays the base car Along with a list of cards, evolution cards, and required material cards, recommended quests and recommended quests A synthesis instruction screen P3 including operation buttons for guiding the user is displayed on the display 61. (Step st109). FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a synthesis instruction screen P3 displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5. is. The synthesis instruction screen P3 has an area A101 for displaying the pre- and post-evolution results, an area A102 for displaying the required materials, and , and an acquisition route display area A103.

[0083] The pre- and post-evolution display area A101 shown in the upper part of FIG. 9 displays the base selected by the user. Card CB1 and evolved card CE1, which is evolved from the base card, are displayed.

[0084] A list of required material cards is displayed in the required material display area A102 shown on the left side of FIG. 9. Required Material Card List L1 shows the required material cards CM1 to CM3, as well as the required material Status information SI1 to SI3 showing the status of cards CM1 to CM3 is displayed. The status information SI1 to SI3 is the information of each required material card, such as the type of each required material card. Information to identify the base card CB1, and each required material card required to evolve it. The number of required material cards held by the user, whether there is a shortage, and the number of missing materials. The status information SI1 to SI3 is displayed separately from the required material cards CM1 to CM3. Alternatively, you can change the display style of the required material cards CM1 to CM3. For example, each required material card may be grayed out to indicate that it is not needed. You can also help them identify the addition.

[0085] The acquisition route display area A103 shown on the right side of FIG. 9 displays the extracted information for each required material card. The recommended quests R1 to R3 and the operation guide to guide the user to the recommended quests are shown. The operation buttons B1 to B3, which are the interface, are displayed in association with each other. In this way, the required material cards, the extracted recommended quests, and the users who are participating in those recommended quests will be By displaying the operation buttons B1 to B3 for guiding the user side by side, the user can It can be assumed that the material cards and recommended quests are related. Based on the results, users can obtain the necessary materials by completing the recommended quests. It can be intuitively understood that this is possible. In this embodiment, recommended quests are used as an example of routes to obtain necessary material cards. However, this is not the only way to obtain it. For example, you can obtain the necessary material cards. It may be various areas (for example, shops in the game). There does not have to be one est per required material card, and multiple ests are allowed. As an example of an operation interface to guide the user to the recommendation quest, we will use an operation button. However, icons such as selection tabs and selection dials may also be used.

[0086] The user checks the synthesis instruction screen P3 displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5. For example, the operation corresponding to Recommended Quest 3, where you can obtain the required material card CM3, is Click button B3. By doing this, the user can select Recommended Quest 3. It is possible to instruct execution.

[0087] To summarize the above, the program of this embodiment is executed by the control unit 56 (computer The game medium selection instruction is input to a receiving means 565 (first receiving means) that receives a game medium selection instruction from a user. and, in response to a selection instruction, switching a first game medium to a second game medium. 2. The materials needed to transform them into game media, as well as the routes through which they can be obtained. The operation interface for guiding the user is displayed on the same screen as the material, in association with it. This causes the display control means 568 to function as a display control means for controlling the display.

[0088] <Effects> According to this embodiment, game media such as base cards can be evolved with simple operations. Specifically, the display control means controls the base card. Recommended quests, recommended quests, along with a list of cards, evolution cards, and required material cards. This allows the user to operate the device on the same screen. On the screen, you can find the necessary material cards and recommended quests to evolve your base cards. Not only can you grasp the recommended quests, but you can also operate the operation buttons that correspond to them. You can instruct the execution of a recommendation quest. In addition, in this embodiment, all available quests are displayed for each required material card. Instead, it will recommend the best quests to users according to the extraction conditions of the recommended quests that you have set. This allows for efficient information display by extracting and displaying relevant information.

[0089] [Second embodiment] In the second embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and the same as the first embodiment will be described. The second embodiment is a display mode for recommended quests. However, this is different from the first embodiment.

[0090] 10 is a flowchart showing the operation of the game device 5 according to the second embodiment. The following explanation will be given assuming that the synthesis instruction screen P3 shown in FIG. 9 has already been displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5. Assume that it is displayed in.

[0091] In this embodiment, the user can appropriately operate the game device 5 to obtain multiple necessary material cards. As an example, the user can select the required material card shown in FIG. Touch the area where CM1 and CM2 are displayed to acquire the two required material cards. , select CM2. The reception means 565 of the game device 5 receives a selection operation of a plurality of necessary material cards by the user. (Step su101).

[0092] The extraction means 567 of the game device 5 selects a plurality of necessary material cards in response to a user's operation to select the necessary material cards. Then, each data of the quest DB 223 downloaded from the server device 2 is searched, and The quests in which each required material card can be obtained are identified (step su102). 567 compares the available quests for each required material card and Whether there are any quests available that are common to all the modes (hereinafter referred to as "common quests"). This "common quest" is a quest where multiple required material cards are used. This is one of the common routes through which it can be obtained.

[0093] <If there is a common quest> When the extraction means 567 determines that a common quest exists (step su103; YE S), extract this common quest as a recommended quest (step su104) and display it. The signal is sent to the control means 568.

[0094] The display control means 568 of the game device 5 displays the extracted recommended quests and the multiple available items. Then, the display control means 568 displays the number of required material cards available. Recommended quests are marked with the required material cards, and you can A synthesis instruction screen P3a including operation buttons for guiding the user is displayed on the display 61 ( Step su105) to end the process.

[0095] FIG. 11 shows an example of a synthesis instruction screen P3a displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5. This is the diagram. As shown in FIG. 11, the acquisition route display area A103 of the synthesis instruction screen P3a displays the user's The common quests common to multiple required material cards selected by the user are called recommended quests. In the example shown in FIG. 25 recommended quests marked with element material cards CM1 and CM2 are also recommended. The operation button B4 for guiding the user to Mequest 25 is displayed in the acquisition route display area A103. will be displayed.

[0096] <If there is no common quest> On the other hand, if the extraction means 567 determines that there is no common quest (step su10 3; NO), the display control means 568 is notified that there is no common quest. When the step 568 receives a notification that there is no common quest, for example, the step 568 selects a common quest. A message appears stating that there are no common quests for obtaining the required material cards. Control is performed to display the route in the acquisition route display area A103 (step su106), and the process is completed. Complete.

[0097] <Effects> According to this embodiment, when there is a common quest common to multiple required material cards, The user displays the common quest as a recommended quest on the game device 5 of the user. By checking the existence of common quests, you can efficiently obtain the required material cards you want. This becomes possible.

[0098] In the second embodiment, only common quests were extracted as recommended quests. If there are multiple recommended quests, the common quest will take priority over the other recommended quests. The list may be extracted.

[0099] Figure 12 is an explanatory diagram for extracting common quests in preference to other recommended quests. do. As shown in Figure 12, a required material card with three recommended quests: 1, 32, and 55. CM4 and the required material card CM5 with two recommended quests 32 and 86 are available to users. Therefore, it is assumed to be selected.

[0100] In this case, the extraction means 567 of the game device 5 functions as a second extraction means. 567 compares the available quests for each required material card CM4 and CM5, and Determine whether a quest exists. In the example shown in Figure 12, Recommended Quest 32 is Required material cards are common to CM4 and CM5, so extraction method 567 is common quest 32 When the extraction means 567 detects the existence of the common quest 32, it determines that the common quest 32 exists. The common quest 32 is extracted in preference to the recommended quest and sent to the display control means 568 .

[0101] The display control means 568 of the game device 5 controls the operation buttons for guiding the user to the common quest 32. Button B5 is an operation button B6 to guide the user to other recommended quests 1, 55, and 86. , B7, and B8 are given priority over the display 61. and displaying it on the display 61” means that when the user looks at the display 61, The operation button B5 corresponding to the common quest 32 is at least one of the other recommended quests 1 and 5. The display is eye-catching and distinguishable from the operation buttons B6, B7, and B8 corresponding to 5 and 86. As an example, as shown in FIG. 12, when the operation button corresponding to the recommended quest 32 is pressed, In this way, the required material card B5 is displayed at the top, or highlighted. By displaying common quests in the game with priority, users can efficiently obtain the required material cards they desire. It will be possible to obtain it efficiently.

[0102] In the second embodiment, the recommended quests for each material card required for evolution are displayed. After displaying the required material cards, a common quest for the required material cards selected by the user is displayed. These are examples, but they are not intended to be limiting. Recommended materials for each evolution A common quest for multiple required material cards selected by the user without displaying the quest. Est may be displayed.

[0103] When the user selects one of the base cards, the display control means of the game device 5 568 displays the pre-combine instruction screen P4 on the display 61.

[0104] FIG. 13 shows an example of a pre-combination instruction screen P4 displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5. This is a diagram. As is clear from a comparison of FIG. 11 and FIG. 13, the pre-combination instruction screen P4 displays the necessary material cards. It differs from the synthesis instruction screen P3a in that it does not display recommended quests, etc.

[0105] With the pre-combination instruction screen P4 displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5, When the user performs an operation to select multiple necessary material cards, the display control means 568 The display contents of the pre-combination instruction screen P4 remain the same, but the recommended quests for each required material card, etc. The synthesis instruction screen P3a to which the above has been added is displayed on the display 61. When a user selects multiple necessary material cards, the game device 5 operates as described above. This can be explained in the same manner as in the second embodiment, and therefore the explanation will not be repeated.

[0106] <Effects> According to this embodiment, the user selects a base card to evolve, and then selects the required material card. By simply selecting multiple cards, you can quickly complete common quests for multiple required material cards. You can get a clear picture of the required materials and obtain them efficiently. It becomes Noh.

[0107] [Variations] The various control means and processing procedures described in the above embodiment are merely examples. It is not intended to limit the scope of application or use of the various control measures. The design and processing procedures can be appropriately changed within the scope of the present invention.

[0108] In each of the above embodiments, recommended quests are available for each material card required for evolution. Although the embodiment in which the strike is displayed is shown as an example, the present invention is not limited to this. FIG. 14 shows a synthesis instruction screen P displayed on the display 61 of the game device 5 according to the modified example. 3b is an example of the figure.

[0109] As shown in FIG. 14, the synthesis instruction screen P3b displays all available cards for each required material card. It contains a list of quests and a list of operation buttons BN to guide the user to each available quest. Specifically, the display control means 568 displays the required material card for each required material card. All available quests and all operation buttons to guide the user to each available quest BN and displayed on the synthesis instruction screen P3b. In addition, considering the limited display space, available quests are displayed by scrolling. Also, for some of the required material cards, you can select all available quests. For other required material cards, display the recommended quests or For example, only the required material cards that are missing may be displayed. All available quests are displayed, and the necessary material cards that the user already owns are displayed. You may also display the Sme Quest.

[0110] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, the extraction conditions for recommended quests are based on drop rates and stamina. Although examples include the amount of energy consumed and stamina efficiency, the present invention is not limited to these.

[0111] For example, party attributes may be used as extraction conditions. The party of the user set in the user DB 224 downloaded from the server device 2 By referring to the attributes, the party attributes are automatically detected. Based on the detected party attributes, the detected party will be selected from multiple available quests. - Quests that can be advantageously played with attributes are extracted as recommended quests. Here, "advancing the game to your advantage" means that the detected party attributes are in line with the quality of the quest. Because they have a specific relationship to the real conditions, they affect the game's progress more than other party attributes. This means that the outcome of the game or the outcome of the game is favored. For example, if it is a quest to defeat an enemy, it is a strong enemy that is in an important position in the game. (so-called boss characters), or weak enemies (so-called zaco characters) that appear frequently. This means that it can cause a lot of damage.

[0112] For example, if the relationships (A) to (C) below are true, then the "Fire Attribute" The party will be stronger against "wood attribute" enemies than the standard "wood attribute" party. On the other hand, the "Water attribute" party Against "wood attribute" enemies, it only deals less damage than the standard "wood attribute" party. This is a "disadvantage" because it cannot be given. (A) A "wood attribute" party will deal 1.0 times the attack power of their opponent against a "wood attribute" enemy. can be given. (B) A "Fire Attribute" party will deal 2.0 times the attack power of their opponent against a "Wood Attribute" enemy. can be given. (C) A "Water Attribute" party will deal 0.5 times the attack power of their opponent against a "Wood Attribute" enemy. can be given.

[0113] On the other hand, preferential treatment in game results means, for example, that players can earn currency or points by clearing a quest. For games that offer rewards such as For example, the amount of rewards associated with a quest can be increased by If the reward amount is set to be different for each attribute, the reward obtained will be A party with attributes that have a high reward is "advantaged", while a party with attributes that have a low reward is This configuration allows users to more effectively use the party they set up. This allows you to complete quests efficiently.

[0114] In addition, even if the user sets party attributes that allow them to advance the game advantageously, For example, if the user sets the "water attribute," the extraction means 567 The water attribute is set as the extraction condition, and the water attribute party will have an advantage in the game. Quests that can be recommended are extracted as recommended quests. In this case, the user manually Reorganize your party and use the water attribute to progress through the game. By heading to Estus, you will be able to complete quests efficiently.

[0115] The extraction conditions for recommended quests can be set based on the rarity of the required material cards. For example, if you need a low-rarity card, you can get it relatively easily. Therefore, the extraction condition for recommended quests is set to "Focus on stamina consumption." For rarer required materials, prioritizing obtaining them over consuming stamina. Considering this, the extraction criteria for recommended quests is set to "emphasize drop rate."

[0116] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, the extraction conditions for recommended quests are set by the user. Although the above are examples of the manner in which the game can be played, the present invention is not limited to these examples. For example, if a game administrator or other person You can also set extraction conditions for Sume Quest.

[0117] In the above embodiments, the user's selection of a base card triggers a synthesis instruction. Although the case where the screen P3 etc. is displayed has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, The synthesis instruction screen P3 or the like may be displayed upon the selection of an evolution card by the user. To explain this by taking an example, the game device 5 first displays an evolution card on the display 61. A selection screen including the base card is displayed. The user selects one of the evolution cards. Then, the game device 5 downloads the evolution condition DB 222 from the server device 2. Search the data to identify the material cards required to evolve into evolution cards. The system device 5 searches for each data item in the quest DB 223 downloaded from the server device 2. After identifying the quests where you can obtain the necessary material cards, we will extract recommended quests. The game device 5 then displays on the display 61 a list of the required material cards and Includes recommended quests, which are acquisition routes, and operation buttons corresponding to the recommended quests. A synthesis instruction screen P3 is displayed.

[0118] In the above-described embodiments, the game device 5 is a smartphone. The device 5 may be an amusement machine provided in a game center or the like.

[0119] In the above embodiments, the game is a role-playing game. Games include but are not limited to shooting games, action games, and simulation games. It can be applied to various types of games, such as games, board games, and puzzle games. can be done.

[0120] In each of the above embodiments, the game device 5 executes a program to implement each means. However, the server device 2 and the game device 5 may be integrated to implement each means. Alternatively, each means may be realized by the server device 2 alone.
