[0019] Various embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention The technical scope is not limited to those embodiments, but extends to the invention and the claims described therein. Please note that this applies to equal objects.

[0020] 1. Outline of this embodiment In the game system of this embodiment, the player plays the game provided by the server on a mobile device. This will be implemented using [the specified method]. In the game system of this embodiment, the server provides the web game. The game system of this embodiment is not limited to web games. For example, play The mobile device owned by Ya contains the application and various data necessary to run the game. You can save the game and run it by communicating directly with other mobile devices. (The following describes web games.) We will explain this using a game system that provides this as an example.

[0021] In web games, mobile devices receive information from the server via a browser (marked with Based on documents written in programming languages ​​and programs written in scripting languages, etc. It displays various game screens. The server also receives data from mobile devices via a browser. Based on the collected information, the system updates game data and transmits information to mobile devices.

[0022] The game the server runs uses multiple game media, according to the player's random selection instructions. A lottery is held to select the game medium, and the game medium selected by the lottery will be used by the player. This includes a lottery game that is awarded to the winner. The game medium refers to the electronic data used in the game. Yes, including, for example, cards, items, characters and avatars. Also, the game medium is Depending on the game's progress, players can acquire, possess, use, manage, and exchange items within the game. Electronic data that can be synthesized, enhanced, sold, discarded, and / or given away, etc., but is not a game medium. The manner of use is not limited to those explicitly stated herein. The lottery is associated with the player. From a selection of multiple game media, a game media is selected according to a predetermined selection method. This is a process that is performed. Also, the lottery is performed one or more times, for example, in a game, the lottery is performed The virtual currency held by the player performing the demonstration is consumed, and the amount is set according to the amount of virtual currency consumed. A lottery will be held a certain number of times. The predetermined selection method is, for example, the method associated with the game medium. A method of selecting a game medium from multiple game mediums based on a fixed lottery probability, or each game A method of selecting a game medium from multiple game media according to a predetermined order on the media, etc. Therefore, the lottery probability is an example of the probability of a game medium being selected through a lottery process. For example, if a game medium is drawn from multiple game mediums with equal probability, then multiple games Each medium is assigned the same lottery probability. Furthermore, the recipients are selected by lottery. This is an example of the process by which the acquired game medium is stored as an item owned by the player. This involves selecting a character card from a set of character cards pre-assigned to each player. A lottery is held to select based on the lottery probability assigned to each character card, and the selected character is... The lottery game given to selected players will be explained as an example of a method for selecting a game medium.

[0023] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a lottery game provided by the server. The lottery game provided by the server of this embodiment will be described below, with reference to Figure 1.

[0024] When the server receives a request from a player to run a lottery game, it will record the reception time and the number of requests. The reception information indicating this is stored in association with the player who requested the lottery game to run. The interval is, for example, the time when the server received the request to execute the lottery game, and the number of receptions is the current time. This is the number of times the player has submitted a request to run the lottery game up to this point. Next, the server The system then checks the number of draws and determines whether it has previously received a request from the player to execute a draw game. The server determines that it has not previously received a request from a player to execute a lottery game. If (A) the first lottery game is played, a regular lottery game is played (B). A request to select a game is an example of a request to select a game medium. The server usually selects a random game. Then, set the number of tickets to be drawn to an initial value (for example, 5 tickets) and associate it with the player. From among the multiple character cards, a set number of character cards will be drawn by lottery. The server then assigns the randomly selected number of character cards to the player. The number of tickets drawn is just one example of the number of selections.

[0025] Next, if the server receives another request from the player to run the lottery game, the reception time and The reception information, which indicates the number of times a request has been received, is stored in association with the player who made the request to execute the lottery game. Next, the server checks the number of draws and determines if the player has previously made a draw game execution request. Determine whether the request was accepted or not. The server has previously received a request from a player to execute a lottery game. If it is determined that the item is attached (C), a special lottery game will be played as the second lottery game. (D). First, the server receives the time when it receives the second (this time) request to run the lottery game, and once The difference in time between the time when the request to execute the eye lottery game was received and (E) is calculated. Next, - If the calculated difference time (E) falls within the special lottery game time (F), the number of lottery tickets will be determined. Set the value to the specified value. The specified value is an integer determined based on the number of draws and / or the difference in time. It is a value. And the server, in the special lottery game, assigns multiple players to each other. A set number of character cards will be drawn from the character cards. The server then grants the player the number of character cards drawn in the lottery. The lottery game execution request received from the player on the first turn and the lottery game execution request received from the player on the second turn The game selection request is an example of a selection request received in the past and a selection request received this time. Furthermore, the special lottery game time (F) is an example of a predetermined time. Note that the calculation of the difference time is as follows: The time was set as the time when the request to execute the previous lottery game was received, but the previous lottery game execution request Even at the time when the player was granted a character card, the previous draw game execution request Even at the time when the number of character cards drawn by lottery was determined, the previous lottery game execution request Any time related to that topic is acceptable.

[0026] The special lottery game is set to have more tickets drawn than the previous lottery game (set value). The number of character cards drawn by lottery are assigned to the player by multiple character cards. This is a lottery game where a winner is selected from among the participants. The special lottery game time (F) is, for example, the same as the previous lottery game. The time is 60 minutes from the time the game execution request is received, and within the special lottery game time (F) The special lottery game will only be executed if a request to execute the lottery game is accepted.

[0027] Furthermore, if the difference time exceeds the special lottery game time (F), the server will not respond to the number of applications. In addition, the number of tickets to be drawn will be reset to the initial value, and the lottery game will be executed in response to the received lottery game execution request. As a system, the regular lottery game is executed (D'). Regarding (F) above, the server If the player requests to run the lottery game again, the difference time will be the same as the time of the special lottery game. Although it was stated that the determination would be made as to whether or not it is within the interval, this is not limited to that. In other words, the server determines the sequence of events. Next, it is determined whether the difference time falls within the special lottery game time, and the difference time falls within the special lottery game time. If it is determined that the time limit has been exceeded, the number of tickets to be drawn will be reset to its initial value. The server, before receiving a request from the player to execute the lottery game, determines the difference time for the special lottery game. The server may determine whether the time limit has been exceeded. In this case, the server will tell the player: You may notify the remaining time until the difference time exceeds the special lottery game.

[0028] Furthermore, the server will execute a special lottery game as the second lottery game (D) When the player requests to run the third draw game (G), the third draw game Execute (H). First, when a request to execute the lottery game is received from the player, the reception time The reception information, including the number of times the request was received, is stored in association with the player who made the request to run the lottery game. Next, the server checks the number of draws and checks the number of draw game execution requests from the player in the past. Determine whether the request has been received. The server has previously received a request from a player to execute a lottery game. If it is determined that it is attached, the time when the request to execute the third (this) lottery game was received. Calculate the difference in time between the time when the request to execute the second lottery game was received (I). Next, - If the calculated difference time falls within the special lottery game time (F), the number of draws and the difference Based on the time in minutes, set the value to be greater than the number of tickets drawn in the second draw, and set the number of tickets drawn to the set value. Set it up. Then, in the special lottery game as the third lottery game, the server A set number of characters will be selected from among multiple character cards associated with each layer. A card will be drawn (H). In this way, the lottery game will take place within the special lottery game time (F). The number of times an execution request has been received and the difference in time will determine the character granted to the player. The number of Kuta cards is accumulated. The server uses the difference time as the special lottery game time (F). If the limit is exceeded, regardless of the number of entries, the lottery game being played will be reset to the regular lottery game. (The number of lottery tickets is reset to the initial value), and the lottery game for the lottery game execution request that was received is executed. The game is run as a regular lottery.

[0029] In this way, the player will choose a lottery game so that the difference time falls within the special lottery game time. If you request it, a special lottery game will be played in which the number of character cards drawn will increase. This can increase the player's motivation to play the game again. Yes. Also, in the lottery game, based on the time the request to execute the lottery game was received, The number of character cards that Layer can acquire will increase, thus encouraging players to continue playing the game. It becomes possible to improve one's desires.

The number of tickets to be drawn is set to the initial value of 5. Then, the setting unit 334 sets the number of tickets to be drawn. The lottery unit 335 is instructed to execute the lottery process.

[0095] Next, the setting unit 334, if the type of lottery game indicates a special lottery game, then the special lottery game It determines that the action should be performed, refers to the player table, and based on the player ID, determines that player The reception information indicating the number of receptions stored in association with the reception is obtained. Next, the setting unit 334 If the number of applications indicated by the acquired application information is 0, the number of lottery tickets will be set to the initial The value is set to 5. Then, the setting unit 334 executes the lottery process for the set number of lottery tickets. The selection unit 335 is instructed. Then, the setting unit 334 refers to the player table and the number of receptions. The number of times (0 times) plus 1 time (1 time) is stored as the number of times indicated by the reception information. The setting unit 334 also receives a request from the progress control unit 331 to execute a lottery game. The time you registered will be remembered as the previous registration time, and a special lottery game will be held at the time of the previous registration. The time added (for example, 60 minutes) is stored as the end time of the special lottery game. ru.

[0096] Furthermore, the setting unit 334, if the number of receptions is greater than 0 and less than or equal to the number of executions, draw The time difference between the current time when the game selection request was received and the time of the previous request is the time for the special lottery game. Next, the setting unit 334 determines whether the difference time is within the special lottery game time. If it is determined that this is the case, the number of tickets to be drawn will be set to the number of tickets to be drawn in the special lottery game. The setting unit 334 sets the number of draws for the special lottery game to the number of entries plus one. Then, referencing the lottery ticket count table, determine the candidate value corresponding to the set number of lottery draws as the set value. The lottery unit 3 sets the number of tickets to be drawn to a predetermined value and executes the lottery process for the set number of tickets. The instruction is given to 35. Then, the setting unit 334 refers to the player table and, once for the number of acceptances The number of times this is added is stored as the number of receptions indicated by the reception information. Also, setting unit 33 4 is the time when the progress control unit 331 received the request to execute the lottery game. The time will be recorded, and the special lottery game time (for example, 60 minutes) will be added to the previous registration time. The time added to this will be recorded as the end time of the special lottery game. Note that if the number of entries is 0 The setting unit 334, which determines whether the number of times is greater than or equal to the number of times, is an example of a reception determination unit.

[0097] Next, if the setting unit 334 determines that the difference time exceeds the special lottery game time, the lottery will proceed. The number of cards is set to the initial value of 5, and in the player table, for that player... The reset history for the associated regular lottery game is changed to "reset" and saved. Also, the end times for the previous registration time and the special lottery game time will be removed from the player tables. The setting unit 334 then instructs the lottery unit 335 to execute the lottery process for the set number of tickets. As shown, the setting unit 334 performs a process of setting the number of lottery tickets based on the difference in time. Then, the process of setting the number of tickets to be drawn depends on whether the difference time is within the special lottery game time. By implementing this, it becomes possible to increase the player's motivation to continue playing the game.

[0098] Furthermore, the setting unit 334 sets the number of tickets to be drawn based on the difference time, The process of setting the number of tickets to be drawn may be executed accordingly. For example, the setting unit 334 sets the difference time If the time is less than 10 minutes, the number of tickets will be increased by 2 from the candidate values ​​shown in the ticket count table. The setting unit 334 determines the set value and sets the number of tickets to be drawn to the determined set value. If the time is between 10 minutes and 30 minutes, then one of the candidate values ​​shown in the lottery ticket table will be selected. The number of increased numbers is determined as the set value, and the number of tickets to be drawn is set to the determined set value. The fixed unit 334 increases the candidate value shown in the lottery ticket count table if the difference time is 30 minutes or more. The set value is determined without any additions, and the number of tickets to be drawn is set to the determined set value. (Ticket Count Table) At the point where six character cards are shown as the number of tickets to be drawn in the second special lottery game In total, a request to run the second special lottery game was made less than 10 minutes after the first special lottery game. If you accept this, the number of tickets for the second special lottery game will be increased from 6 to 8. Yes. Thus, the setting unit 334 sets a larger number of increased frames the shorter the difference time. This can increase the motivation of players to try to play the next draw game more quickly. Yes.

[0099] Furthermore, the server storage unit 32 stores multiple tables for the number of lottery tickets that the setting unit 334 refers to. This is also fine. The server storage unit 32, in each of the multiple lottery ticket count tables, selects a specific lottery ticket. The increase in the number of tickets from the previous draw in one draw is the same as in a specific draw in another draw table of different types of draw tickets. The number of increases is set and stored differently. Figure 8 shows the various types of data stored by the server storage unit 32. This is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a lottery ticket quantity table for a given type. For example, the server storage unit 32 is Figure 8(a) shows a normal lottery ticket count table, and Figure 8(b) shows a table with fewer lottery draws. The early increase type lottery ticket count table, which sets a larger increase in the number of tickets, is shown in Figure 8(c). A lottery ticket count table for later-stage increases, where the number of tickets increases as the number of eel lottery rounds increases. It is memorized. In the special lottery game, an early-increasing type lottery ticket count table was used. In this case, the number of character cards drawn will be determined early in the lottery game (e.g., the second or third round). This can significantly increase the chances of obtaining character cards, thereby raising expectations for acquiring them. This becomes possible. In addition, in the special lottery game, a lottery ticket count table of the later-stage increase type is used. If so, the more times the lottery game is repeated, the more character cards will be drawn. The cumulative number increases exponentially, raising expectations for obtaining character cards. This makes it possible to do so. The setting unit 334 will select multiple extractions according to the player's selection instructions. It is also possible to select a predetermined number of tickets from a selection number table. In this case, Server 3 displays a selection screen (not shown) for selecting a plurality of lottery number tables, and causes the mobile terminal 2 to display the display data for this selection screen. According to the selection operation instruction for the selection screen displayed on the mobile terminal 2, one lottery number table is selected from the plurality of lottery number tables. The setting unit 334 may randomly select one lottery number table from the plurality of lottery number tables, or may select the lottery number tables in a predetermined order for each lottery game. Also, the server 3 may cause the mobile terminal 2 to display a screen (for example, the schematic diagram shown in FIG. 8) showing the relationship between the candidate values and the lottery draws in the lottery number table used in the lottery game according to the player's request.

[0100]

[0101]

[0102] First, for each of the plurality of players, when the difference time exceeds the special lottery game time, the server 3 associates the reception times indicated by the reception information stored in the player table of each player with the game departure times and stores them in the server storage unit 32. Next, for each game departure time, the setting unit 334 totals the number of players associated with the game departure time as the departure number. Then, the setting unit 334 changes the candidate value associated with the lottery draw of the lottery number table according to the departure number corresponding to each game departure time counted.The assigned candidate values ​​are changed. For example, the setting unit 334 changes the number of tickets drawn in the lottery table. The candidate value for the draw corresponding to a game with a large number of players leaving is higher than the previous candidate value. Set a large number. Then, the setting unit 334 uses the newly set and stored lottery ticket count table. Refer to the rule to set the number of tickets for the special lottery game. This will allow the lottery game to continue. When the number of players who are eliminated increases, set a higher cumulative number of tickets for the lottery. This makes it possible to have a variety of games that change depending on the execution status of the lottery game by multiple players. This makes it possible to provide a method for selecting the media.

[0101] Furthermore, the setting unit 334 accepts from the related players for each of the multiple players. The game execution request is used as the game execution request for each player, and the above-mentioned lottery number setting process is performed. The following steps may be performed: calculation, lottery processing, and creation of data for displaying the lottery results screen. This will enable related players. A special lottery game can be executed using the game execution request of the user, and the related players This makes it possible to revitalize communication.

[0102] Furthermore, the setting unit 334 sets the number of tickets to be drawn in the special lottery game without using a lottery ticket number table. It is also possible to do so. For example, the setting unit 334 may set the character that was assigned in the previous special lottery game. The number of tickets drawn in this special lottery game will be determined according to the rarity of the Kuta card. First, the setting section. 334 is based on predetermined points corresponding to the rarity of the character card. The total number of character card points awarded to players in the previous special lottery game The calculation is performed. Then, the setting unit 334 determines the total number of points calculated for this special lottery. Set the number of tickets to be drawn in the game. This will determine the outcome of the previous special lottery game. The number of tickets for this special lottery game will be set, which will add an element of surprise for the players. It becomes possible to offer a lottery game where higher rarity items correspond to higher points. If enabled, the setting unit 334 will set the number of lottery tickets to increase as the total number of calculated points increases. Set it to: The more rare character cards you acquire, the better the next time In the special lottery game, more character cards will be awarded, giving players an even greater chance of winning. This can increase the expectation of winning. Also, the higher the rarity, the higher the points. If a point is associated with a set, the setting unit 334 will draw the fewer points the calculated total number of points is. You can set a large number of selections. This will result in a situation where many characters of low rarity are obtained. Even if you get a match, more character cards will be drawn in the next special lottery game. Therefore, the goal is to prevent players from losing their motivation to try again and to increase their motivation to continue playing the lottery game. This makes it possible. In addition, the setting unit 334 determines the draw for the previous special lottery game according to the number of times the application was received. The number of cards increased from the initial number may be increased. This means that the more lottery games are played, In the next special lottery game, more character cards will be awarded to players. This will increase expectations for further wins. If 334 sets the number of tickets for the special lottery game without using a lottery ticket number table, the setting section 334 automatically or in response to player instructions, sets the number of tickets to be drawn and The number of draws, or the increase in the number of draws, and the number of draws are associated with the player and stored in the server storage unit 32. You can remember it there.

[0103] Also, when the number of executable times is exceeded (after the 6th time), the normal lottery After the game is reset, the special lottery game may be executed again. This is because, even after the 6th time, the process of increasing the number of lottery tickets is repeated, so the player's expectation for obtaining character cards can be improved.

[0104] Also, the condition for resetting the number of lottery tickets in the special lottery game to the initial value of 5 may be set not when the number of executable times is exceeded, but when a specific lottery period is exceeded. For example, the setting unit 334 sets (resets) the number of lottery tickets in the special lottery game to the initial value of 5 when more than 3 days have passed since the execution of the first normal lottery game. This is because the number of lottery tickets continues to increase only within the 3-day lottery period, so the player's expectation for obtaining character cards can be improved. Also, the lottery period may be set as the execution time of other games or other events provided by the server 3. For example, the lottery period may be set as the event holding period related to the main game provided by the server 3. This makes it possible to prevent a decrease in the number of participants in the lottery game associated with the execution time of other games or other events.

[0105] When the lottery unit 335 is instructed by the setting unit 334 to execute the lottery process, it refers to the lottery target table and refers to the lottery card information associated with the player who instructed the execution of the lottery process, and extracts the card ID of the character card to be the lottery target. Next, the lottery unit 335 reads out the lottery probability associated with each character card by referring to the card table. Next the lottery unit 335 extracts all the card IDs of the character cards from the card table ​​​​​​The card ID of one character card from among them is assigned to each character card. The selection is made based on the probability of the draw. Next, the draw unit 335 selects the character card. By associating the character card ID with a player and storing it, the player can use that character card. It is assigned to the player's owned cards on the player table. For example, the lottery unit 335 assigns the player's owned cards to the player's table. The information stores the card ID of the selected character card. The lottery unit 335 is the character The card ID of the Kuta Card is selected based on the lottery probability associated with each character card. The process of selecting and assigning to the player is performed by setting the number of characters set by the setting unit 334. The process is repeated until a card is obtained. The lottery unit 335 is controlled by the setting unit 334. The card IDs of the character cards, which are set to be drawn in a certain number of draws, are obtained in a single draw process. From the card IDs of all character cards extracted from the player table, each character The selection may be based on the lottery probabilities associated with the Kuta cards. The probability of drawing each character card may be associated with and stored for each group. For example, Character card groups are groups of character cards with the same rarity level, etc. The probability of drawing a character card may be stored in association with its rarity. The lottery unit 335 refers to the card table and assigns the rarity to each character card. You can read the data and select a character card based on the probability of drawing according to the rarity level. This means that, for example, if the probability of drawing an item decreases as its rarity increases, The rarer the character card, the higher its value. This becomes possible.

[0106] Next, the lottery unit 335 displays the lottery result screen to the display data creation unit 336. The system instructs the creation of data. Specifically, the lottery unit 335 will perform a special lottery game or the first regular lottery. When the lottery game is executed, the special lottery result screen 500 is displayed on the display data creation unit 336. The system instructs the creation of display data for the purpose of [doing something]. In addition, the lottery unit 335 instructs the system for the second and subsequent normal lottery games. When the lottery process for the number of tickets to be drawn in the system is executed, the display data creation unit 336 displays the normal lottery results. This command instructs the system to create display data for showing the result screen 510.

[0107] The display data creation unit 336 receives the special lottery game screen 410 from the lottery game determination unit 333. When instructed to create display data for displaying, the special lottery game screen 410 is displayed. To do this, display data is created. First, the display data creation unit 336 creates a lottery ticket count table. The system references the data to create the number of tickets to be drawn. Next, the display data creation unit 336 determines the lottery game. The next execution will be performed by adding 1 to the number of receptions indicated by the reception information acquired by unit 333. Next, the display data creation unit 336 refers to the lottery ticket count table and determines the next execution time. The corresponding candidate value is obtained as the number of tickets to be drawn next. Next, refer to the player table, The end time of the special lottery game is obtained. Then, the display data creation unit 336 calculates the number of lottery tickets. Based on numerical information, the next execution round, the number of tickets to be drawn in the next lottery, and the end time of the special lottery game, Create display data to show the special lottery game screen 410.

[0108] Furthermore, the display data creation unit 336 receives the normal lottery game screen from the lottery game determination unit 333. When instructed to create display data to display 420, the usual lottery game screen 420 Create display data for display purposes.

[0109] Furthermore, the display data creation unit 336 displays the special lottery results screen 500 from the lottery unit 335. When instructed to create display data for the purpose of displaying the special lottery results screen 500, The display data is created. First, the display data creation unit 336 takes the lottery game determination unit 333. The next execution attempt will be the number obtained by adding 1 to the number of successful receptions indicated by the successful reception information. The display data creation unit 336 then refers to the lottery ticket count table and selects the option corresponding to the next execution round. The supplementary value is obtained as the number of tickets to be drawn in the next draw. Next, the special draw game is determined by referring to the player table. The end time of the time is obtained. Next, the display data creation unit 336 is determined by the lottery unit 335. The card ID of the character card with the highest rarity among the selected character cards will be specially selected. The card image corresponding to the identified card ID is extracted. Then, the display data is created. Section 336 displays the next execution time, the number of tickets to be drawn in the next draw, the end time of the special draw game, and the card image. Based on the images and other data, display data is created to display the special lottery results screen 500.

[0110] Furthermore, the display data creation unit 336 displays the normal lottery result screen 510 from the lottery unit 335. When instructed to create display data for the purpose of displaying the lottery results screen 510, Display data is created. First, the display data creation unit 336 is selected by the lottery unit 335. Identify the card ID of the character card with the highest rarity among the collected character cards. Extract the card image corresponding to the identified card ID. Then, display data creation unit 33 6 is a table for displaying the normal lottery result screen 510 based on the extracted card images, etc. Create display data.

[0111] Figure 9 shows an example of an operation sequence related to game processing in game system 1. This operation sequence is pre-stored in the terminal storage unit 22 and the server storage unit 32. Based on the gram, the terminal processing unit 25 and the server processing unit 33 mainly control the mobile terminal 2 and the server - It is executed in cooperation with each element of -ver3.

[0112] First, with the home screen 400 displayed on the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 2, the player operates When the lottery game button 402 is pressed using the production unit 23, the viewing execution unit 251 of the mobile terminal 2 is activated. The terminal communication unit 21 sends a request to start the lottery game to the server 3 (step S10). 1).

[0113] The lottery game determination unit 333 of server 3 communicates with the server via the progress control unit 331 from the mobile terminal 2. When a request to start a lottery game is received via unit 31, the lottery game determination process is executed ( Step S102). Details of the lottery game determination process will be described later.

[0114] Next, the display data creation unit 336 receives the special lottery game screen 4 from the lottery game determination unit 333. When instructed to create display data for displaying screen 10 or the normal lottery game screen 420, Display data for displaying the special lottery game screen 410 or the regular lottery game screen 420 Create (Step S103).

[0115] Next, the progress control unit 331 processes the special lottery game created by the display data creation unit 336. Display data for displaying the main screen 410 or the normal lottery game screen 420 is transmitted to the server via communication. The data is transmitted to the mobile terminal 2 via unit 31 (step S104).

[0116] The viewing execution unit 251 of the mobile terminal 2 receives display data from the server 3 via the terminal communication unit 21. When received, drawing data is created based on the received display data, and a special drawing is displayed on the display unit 24. The game selection screen 410 or the normal lottery game screen 420 is displayed (step S105).

[0117] Next, the viewing execution unit 251 displays the special lottery game screen 410 or the normal lottery game screen on the display unit 24. With the screen 420 displayed, the player uses the control unit 23 to press the lottery button 412 or Pressing 422 sends a request to execute the lottery game to the server 3 via the terminal communication unit 21. (Step S106).

[0118] The configuration unit 334 of server 3 is controlled by the progress control unit 331 via the server communication unit 31 from the mobile terminal 2. If a request to execute the lottery game is received, the process of setting the number of lottery tickets is executed (step S10) 7) Details regarding the process for setting the number of tickets to be drawn will be described later.

[0119] Next, the lottery unit 335 selects the number of character cards to be drawn, as set by the setting unit 334. The lottery process is repeatedly executed to obtain the desired result, and in the player table, the lottery process is performed. Therefore, the selected number of character cards are associated with the player and stored in memory (step (P S108).

[0120] Next, the display data creation unit 336, based on the results of the lottery process performed by the lottery unit 335, Create display data to show the special lottery results screen 500 or the regular lottery results screen 510. Do (Step S109).

[0121] Next, the progress control unit 331 displays the special lottery results created by the display data creation unit 336. Display data for displaying screen 500 or the normal lottery result screen 510 is provided by the server communication unit 3 Transmit to mobile terminal 2 via 1 (step S110).

[0122] The viewing execution unit 251 of the mobile terminal 2 receives display data from the server 3 via the terminal communication unit 21. When received, drawing data is created based on the received display data, and a special drawing is displayed on the display unit 24. Display the selection results screen 500 or the normal lottery results screen 510 (step S111). And with that, the operation sequence related to game processing in game system 1 is finished.

[0123] Figure 10 shows an example of the operation flow of the lottery game determination process by the lottery game determination unit 333. This is a diagram. The lottery game determination process shown in Figure 10 is executed in step S102 of Figure 9. It will be done.

[0124] First, the lottery game determination unit 333 stores the information associated with the players from the player table. The number of registrations indicated by the registration information was obtained, and the special lottery game was executed. (There are 0 instances where requests to execute the lottery game were received during the special lottery game time.) Determine whether it is more or less (step S201).

[0125] Next, the lottery game determination unit 333 determines that it has never executed a special lottery game (the number of applications is...) If the result is 0 (step S201-No), proceed to step S205 described later. Also, the lottery game determination unit 333 has executed a special lottery game (special lottery If the number of requests to execute the lottery game within the game time is greater than 0, then ( Step S201-Yes), determine whether the number of receptions is less than or equal to the number of executions ( (Tep S202).

[0126] Next, the lottery game determination unit 333 determines if the number of acceptances exceeds the number of executions (step S 202-No), proceed to step S206 described later.

[0127] Furthermore, the lottery game determination unit 333 determines if the number of receptions obtained is less than or equal to the number of executions. (Step S202-Yes), refer to the player table and the draw game to be performed Determine whether the game has ever been reset to a regular random selection game (step S203).

[0128] Next, the lottery game determination unit 333 resets the lottery game to be executed to a normal lottery game. If it is determined that it has been done before (Step S203-Yes), then Step S2 described below The process proceeds to step 06. The lottery game determination unit 333 determines whether the lottery game to be executed is a normal lottery game. If it is determined that the selected game has never been reset (Step S203-No), a draw will be held. The time difference between the current time the game start request was received and the previous time the request was received determines the special lottery game time. Determine whether it is inside or not (step S204).

[0129] Next, the lottery game determination unit 333 determined that the difference time was within the special lottery game time. If (step S204 - Yes), the lottery game to be performed is determined to be a special lottery game. (Step S205). Then, the lottery game determination unit 333 outputs to the display data creation unit 336. Instructions are given to create display data for displaying the special lottery game screen 410, and a series of steps Ending.

[0130] Next, the lottery game determination unit 333 determined that the difference time exceeded the special lottery game time. In case (step S204-No), the lottery game to be performed is determined to be a normal lottery game (reset (Step S206). Then, the lottery game determination unit 333 creates the display data. The unit 336 is instructed to create display data for displaying the normal lottery game screen 420, and a series of The step ends.

[0131] Figure 11 shows an example of the operation flow of the lottery number setting process by the setting unit 334. The lottery ticket setting process shown in Figure 11 is performed in step S107 of Figure 9.

[0132] First, the setting unit 334 determines that the type of lottery game included in the lottery game execution request is a special lottery game. It is determined whether or not to indicate "Mu" (step S301). Note that the setting unit 334 is in step S3 Before executing step 01, the lottery game determination unit 333 is subjected to the lottery game determination process described above (step S Instructions 201-S206) are given, and the lottery game type is determined by the lottery game determination unit 333. Step S301 may be executed based on a different method (special lottery game or regular lottery game). stomach.

[0133] Next, the setting unit 334 determines that the type of lottery game indicates a normal lottery game (Station Step S301-No), proceed to step 305. Also, the setting unit 334 is a lottery game If it is determined that the game type indicates a special lottery game (Step S301-Yes), play From the table, the reception time indicated by the reception information stored in association with the player. Have you ever obtained a number and run a special lottery game (during the special lottery game time)? Determine whether the number of times a game execution request has been received is greater than or equal to 0 (Step S) 302).

[0134] Next, the setting unit 334 has never executed a special lottery game (within the special lottery game time). If the number of requests to execute the lottery game is received is 0 (step S30) 2-No), the process proceeds to step S304, which will be described later. Also, the setting unit 334 special lottery Have you ever played a selection game (received a request to play a lottery game during the special lottery game time) If the number of times an entry has been submitted is greater than 0 (Step S302-Yes), the lottery game is executed. Is the difference between the current time the request was received and the time the previous request was received within the special lottery game time? Determine whether it is true or false (step S303).

[0135] Next, if the setting unit 334 determines that the difference time is within the special lottery game time ( ) (S303-Yes), refer to the draw ticket count table and set candidate values ​​corresponding to the draw round. The value is determined, and the determined setting value is set as the number of tickets to be drawn in the special lottery game that is executed. The setting unit 334 then determines the number of tickets set in the lottery unit 335. The system is instructed to execute the number selection process, and the series of steps is completed.

[0136] Next, the setting unit 334 determines that the difference time exceeds the special lottery game time ( ) (Step S303-No), set the number of tickets to be drawn in the normal lottery game that is executed (Step (P305). The setting unit 334 instructs the lottery unit 335 to execute the lottery process for the number of lottery tickets set. This completes the series of steps.

[0137] As explained above, Server 3, based on the time it received the game execution request, The number of character cards that players can acquire will increase, thus increasing the player's ability to continue playing the game. It becomes possible to improve motivation.

[0138] Furthermore, even if the setting unit 334 executes the lottery probability setting process instead of the lottery number setting process, good.

[0139] The following describes the lottery probability setting by the progress control unit 331, setting unit 334, and lottery unit 335 of server 3. The following describes the process. The progress control unit 331 instructs the setting unit 334 to set the lottery probability. Normally, the card ID of each character card is the card ID of the character card that is eligible for the lottery. From D, a selection is made based on the lottery probability pre-assigned to each character card. The probability of drawing a specific character card's card ID is changed by the setting unit 334. In this case, the server memory unit 32 pre-records the initial probability and set probability for each character card. To be careful. Note that the set probability is determined according to the number of draws and the difference in time. For example If so, the set probability is set so that each drawing has a probability greater than or equal to the probability of the drawing immediately preceding that drawing. A probability is set, and the shorter the difference time, the higher the probability.

[0140] The setting unit 334 receives the lottery probability from the progress control unit 331, which has received the request to execute the lottery game. When instructed to configure settings, a special lottery will be conducted based on the type of lottery game included in the lottery game execution request. Next, the setting unit 334 determines whether or not to execute the selected game. If the type of lottery game being played indicates a regular lottery game, it is determined that a special lottery game will not be played. Then, the initial probability is set to the probability of drawing each character card in the card table. The lottery probability is then set to the initial probability. The setting unit 334 then uses the set lottery probability. The lottery unit 335 is instructed to execute the lottery process.

[0141] Next, the setting unit 334 determines that the type of lottery game included in the lottery game execution request is a special lottery game. If a "Mu" is indicated, it is determined that a special lottery game will be executed, and the player table is referenced, and the lottery game Based on the player ID included in the game execution request, the player is associated with and stored. The reception count is obtained based on the reception information. Next, the setting unit 334 determines that the reception count is If the result is 0, the draw probability associated with each character card in the card table The rate is set as the initial probability, and the lottery probability is set to the initial probability. Then, the setting unit 334 sets The lottery unit 335 is instructed to execute the lottery process based on the lottery probability.

[0142] Next, the setting unit 334, if the number of receptions is greater than 0 and less than or equal to the number of executions, draw The difference between the current time when the game selection request was received and the time of the previous request will determine the special lottery game. It determines whether or not it is within the time limit. Next, the setting unit 334 determines that the difference time is within the time limit for the special lottery game. If it is determined that the result is within the specified range, the probability of winning the lottery is set to the probability of winning the lottery in the special lottery game. In other words, the setting unit 334 refers to the setting probability stored in the server storage unit 32 and performs a special lottery. The probability of drawing a specific character card (such as a rare character card) in the game is... The probability is set according to the number of attempts and the difference time. The setting unit 334 is set so that the lottery probability is If the probability of drawing a specific character card is set to a high probability, any or all of them The probability of drawing other character cards is changed to a lower probability. Then, the setting unit 334 sets The lottery unit 335 is instructed to execute the lottery process based on the predetermined lottery probability.

[0143] Next, if the setting unit 334 determines that the difference time exceeds the special lottery game time, The initial probability is set to the lottery probability associated with each character card in the draw table. The probability is set as the initial probability, and the player is associated with that player in the player table. The reset history for the regular lottery game that was rejected is changed to "reset". Then, setting section 3 34 instructs the lottery unit 335 to execute the lottery process with the set lottery probability.

[0144] Then, when the setting unit 334 instructs the lottery unit 335 to execute the lottery process, the lottery target Refer to the table and find the lottery card information associated with the player who instructed the lottery process to run. Refer to the above and extract the card IDs of the character cards that will be included in the lottery. Next, the lottery unit 33 5 is a rare character card, and a specific character card is selected with a set probability. To select, the card IDs of all character cards extracted from the card table Select the card ID of one character card from among them.

[0145] Thus, if a player requests to run the lottery game during the special lottery game time, You can play a special lottery game where the probability of drawing rare character cards increases. This will increase the anticipation of obtaining character cards. In the selection game, based on the time the request to execute the lottery game was received, the player's desired The chances of obtaining character cards increase, therefore, regarding obtaining character cards This makes it possible to increase the player's sense of anticipation.

[0146] Furthermore, the setting unit 334 determines the number of tickets to be drawn by the setting unit 334 before the lottery processing by the lottery unit 335. The settings and the setting of the lottery probability by the setting unit 334 may be performed simultaneously. Therefore, if a player requests to run the lottery game during the special lottery game time, the character As the number of cards drawn increases, the probability of drawing rare character cards also increases. A special lottery game can be played, further increasing the players' motivation to continue playing. This becomes possible.

[0147] Furthermore, when the lottery unit 335 executes the lottery game, the lottery game determines the player Further rewards may be given depending on the character card that is awarded. For example, lottery section 33 5 is based on points corresponding to predetermined attributes such as the rarity of the character card. Then, calculate the total number of points from the character cards awarded to players in the lottery game. The lottery unit 335 then determines the total number of points on the character cards awarded to the player. The corresponding reward is recorded for each of the predetermined thresholds exceeded, associated with the player. By remembering, it is granted to the player. This allows the player to win a prize in a lottery game. Since you can also obtain additional rewards along with the layer character, it encourages you to play the lottery game. It becomes possible to raise the level. Also, the lottery unit 335 plays based on the lottery game that was executed. The reward will be based on the cumulative total of points from all character cards assigned to Iya, It may also be assigned to a player by associating it with that player and storing it accordingly.

[0148] Furthermore, the lottery unit 335 conducts a special lottery for each player based on the number of times the above-mentioned rewards have been awarded. The game time may be changed. In this case, the player table will give each player a special The lottery game time is further associated with and stored in memory. A special lottery game time is also designated. (e.g., 60 minutes) is stored. For example, the lottery unit 335 stores the rewards for each player. The system determines whether the number of times exceeds a predetermined number, and if the number of times a reward has been given exceeds the predetermined number. The special lottery game time associated with the player will be extended beyond the predetermined time (e.g., 75 minutes). ) is changed and stored in the player table. This allows the results of the lottery game to be determined accordingly. Because the time between the previous lottery game and the next special lottery game will change, This makes it possible to provide a method for selecting game media. In addition, the lottery unit 335 determines the number of applications and The special lottery game time may be changed based on either or both of the difference time. In this case, the player table further associates a special lottery game time with each player. It will be memorized. Furthermore, a predetermined time (e.g., 60 minutes) will be memorized as the special lottery game time. For example... Then, the lottery unit 335 determines for each player whether the number of times they have applied has exceeded a predetermined number, and For players who have exceeded a predetermined number of attempts, the special lottery game time associated with them will be limited to a predetermined time. Change the time to a longer duration (e.g., 75 minutes) and store it in the player table. A special lottery game is executed based on the number of requests to run a separate lottery game, so the player's game It will be possible to offer special lottery games depending on the status of the event. Also, the lottery unit 335 will play For each step, it is determined whether the difference time was within a predetermined threshold (e.g., 40 minutes), and the difference time is determined to be within a certain threshold. The special lottery game time associated with a player who was within a set threshold (e.g., 40 minutes) The time is changed to a longer duration than the set time (e.g., 75 minutes) and stored in the player table. Therefore, a special lottery game will be held based on the player's game time, It will be possible to offer special lottery games depending on the status of the event. In addition, the lottery unit 335 will For each round, the remaining time is calculated as the difference between the special lottery game time and the difference time. Based on the interval, the next special draw game time will be changed to a longer time than the predetermined time. It can also be stored in the ear table. For example, if the difference time was 30 minutes, the special lottery game Add the remaining 30 minutes, which is the difference between the initial time (60 minutes) and the difference time (30 minutes), to arrive at the predetermined time (6 A time longer than 0 minutes (90 minutes) is calculated and used as the time for the next special lottery game for the player. Remember it in the bullseye. Furthermore, for each lottery round, the difference between the special lottery game time and the difference time for each lottery round. The remaining time is accumulated, and the accumulated time is added to the predetermined time to determine the time for the next special lottery game. The player's game time may be recorded in the player table. A separate lottery game will be held, and a special lottery game will be offered based on the players' game progress. This makes it possible to provide the service. The difference time used by the lottery unit 335 to change the special lottery game time is Even in the difference time between the previous lottery game execution request and the current lottery game execution request, Even if it's the difference in time between any previous lottery game execution request and the next lottery game execution request good.

[0149] Furthermore, the lottery unit 335, in calculating the total number of points as described above, awards points in the special lottery game. The points corresponding to the increased number of character cards will be weighted accordingly. You can also calculate the total number of points. For example, the number of tickets drawn in the second lottery is 6, and normally Since there is one more ticket than in the regular lottery game, lottery unit 335 is the second lottery game, the special lottery game. In the game, five of the character cards assigned to the player are... Calculate the total number of points, and add the points of the remaining character card to the calculated total number of points. The total number of points is calculated by adding a value obtained by multiplying the points by a predetermined ratio (for example, 50%). In this way, the additional character cards awarded in the special lottery game are included as rewards. Regarding the value related to the grant and the reward of character cards, which are the number of cards drawn in the regular lottery game (5 cards). Since values ​​are all different, it becomes possible to improve the strategic aspect of the special lottery game. This makes it possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

[0150] Furthermore, the setting unit 334 adjusts the real number of players participating in the lottery game. A table for the number of tickets to be drawn may be set for the time. For example, the setting unit 334 currently has a lottery game If the number of players participating in the event is less than the predetermined number, an early increase type lottery will be held. The number of tickets to be drawn is set using a table (Figure 8(b)). This reduces the load on server 3. In a shorter timeframe, the number of character cards drawn can be increased more quickly. This can increase the anticipation of obtaining character cards. This allows players to be encouraged to participate during times when the number of participants is below a predetermined number, and the players' game This allows for an averaged participation time in the community, thereby distributing the load on server 3.

[0151] Furthermore, the setting unit 334 responds to the execution history of the lottery game performed by multiple players. Then, the number of tickets drawn for each player's special lottery game may be set. For example, the server memory unit 32 further stores the group table. The group table contains information for multiple players. Therefore, a special lottery game is associated with a group ID to identify the group that is composed of these groups. The number of requests to run the lottery game received within the time frame and the time of the previous request are shown. The reset history for the regular lottery game and the end time of the special lottery game are recorded. Oh, a group is a guild, a party, etc.

[0152] The setting unit 334 replaces the player table with a group table of the group to which the players belong. The lottery game described above is executed using the cable. That is, the setting unit 334 sets the group Each time the first regular or special lottery game is played by each player belonging to the group The number of receptions in the group table for that group is increased and stored, and the previous reception It records the time and the end time of the special lottery game. The results of the game are sequentially stored in the group table of the group to which each player belongs. The number of tickets drawn will increase as multiple players belonging to the loop increase, This will allow for more active communication with other players within the game.

[0153] Furthermore, the setting unit 334, in the lottery game using the group table described above, If a player belonging to a group plays the draw game two or more times in a row, the second time... You may choose not to reflect the results of subsequent lottery games in the group table. The fixed part 334 is when a player belonging to the group has played the lottery game two or more times in a row. It may be controlled so that it cannot be done. That is, the setting unit 334 controls one of the groups that belongs to the group When a player performs a draw game, other players in that group perform a draw game. Until then, the lottery buttons 412 and 422 displayed on the first player's mobile device 2 The re-draw buttons 504 and 513 are controlled to be unpressable. Buttons 412, 422 (lottery button), 504 (re-lottery button), and 513 (re-lottery button) are disabled. Instead of the control process, use the lottery button 412, lottery button 422, re-draw button 504 or Even if the re-draw button 513 is pressed and a request to execute the draw game is received, the setting unit 334 The setting unit 334 also prevents the lottery unit 335 from being instructed to execute the lottery process. A lottery game is played by one player belonging to the group, and immediately afterwards the group The group's group time is determined only if the lottery game is played by another player. The number of times a table can be accepted may be increased and memorized. Based on the above, cooperation with other players is possible. As the number of lottery tickets increases, communication with other players in the group will be more difficult. This will make communication even more active. In this case, any of the members belonging to the group When that player performs the first regular lottery game or special lottery game, the number of entries and You may also configure the system to notify other players when the lottery game is being run.

[0154] Additionally, the number of possible plays is associated with each of the multiple players and stored in the player table. It may be stored. In this case, the setting unit 334 assigns to each player in the main game. Even if the number of playable actions changes depending on the number of game points or related players, Good. As a result, the setting unit 334 will execute the more game points a player has acquired. If the number of possible attempts is varied significantly, the more successful the player is in the main game, the more special lottery games they will be able to play. This allows for more actions to be taken, which can increase motivation to participate in the main game. Furthermore, the setting unit 334 sets the number of playable times for players with a larger number of associated players. When many changes are made, the more players involved in the game, the more special draws there will be. Many games can be run. Therefore, the setting unit 334 which has such a function This can motivate players to improve their relationships with other players. ru.

[0155] Furthermore, the number of times an action can be performed is associated with each of the multiple character cards, and the card data It may be stored in the bull. In this case, the setting unit 334 associates with the same number of possible executions. By making the selected character cards eligible for the lottery game, special items will be available for each lottery game. It will be possible to change the number of times the lottery game can be played.

[0156] In this embodiment, a game other than the main game is described as a lottery game. However, this game is not limited to lottery games, but also includes games that select a specific game medium. Any form of game is acceptable.

[0157] Furthermore, this embodiment describes an example in which a randomly selected game medium is given to a player. However, if the selected game media is remembered in association with the player, it does not necessarily mean that the player It does not have to be granted. For example, the game media selected by lottery can only be viewed by the player. It may be configured to allow provision only to other players, or to provide only to other players.

[0158] Furthermore, each of the functions of the server processing unit 33 described above is executed by the terminal processing unit 25 of the mobile terminal 2. Alternatively, the player table, card table, and number of draws table are stored in the terminal. If the data is stored in unit 22, there is no need to communicate with server 3 each time processing is performed, and only the mobile terminal 2 needs to be contacted. The above functions can also be achieved. Furthermore, games run on mobile device 2 It can also be used as a hybrid game where server 3 and mobile device 2 each handle part of the processing. In that case, for example, each screen related to the game's progress is based on the display data generated by Server 3. The web display will then be shown on mobile device 2, and other menu screens, etc. will be displayed on mobile device 2. The native display will be determined by the installed native app.

[0159] Furthermore, game system 1 uses multiple mobile devices 2, each operated by a different player. The configuration may also include the following: Each of the multiple mobile terminals 2 is connected to the other mobile terminals 2 via IEEE Wireless communication is performed using the E802.11 standard, and multiple mobile terminals 2 are used. A dohok network is formed. In this case, a specific mobile terminal among multiple mobile terminals 2 Terminal 2 functions as a host and performs each of the functions of server 3 described above. Other mobile devices 2 than our specific mobile device 2 will execute each function of server 3. By communicating with terminal 2, the aforementioned lottery game is executed. Note that terminal 2 functions as a host. A specific mobile device 2 performs the functions of both the server 3 and the mobile device 2. .
