[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus that executes game-related processing, and to a program. [Background Art]

[0002] In computer-implemented games, it is common that a play reward is granted to a user who has played the game each time the user plays the game. Normally, said play reward is predetermined in accordance with factors such as the stage and difficulty level of the game to be played. Further, the number and content of rewards granted according to game play may vary depending on the content of the game play actually performed by the user. [Summary of the Invention] [Problem to be Solved by the Invention]

[0003] In the above-described game, when the appeal of play rewards to the user is reduced, for example in a case where the user has already obtained all available play rewards for a certain stage, it becomes difficult to encourage the user to continue playing the game.

[0004] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and one object thereof is to provide an information processing apparatus and a program that enable opportunities for rewards obtained by a user playing a game to be varied in accordance with the user's play result. [Means for Solving the Problem]

[0008] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0009] Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of the information processing system 1. The information processing system 1 is a system that provides game services to multiple users, and as shown in Figure 1, it is composed of multiple client devices 10 and a server device 20 that functions as an information processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention. Each client device 10 is connected to the server device 20 via a communication network such as the Internet.

[0010] The client device 10 is an information processing device such as a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer, and comprises a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a communication unit 13, and an interface unit 14. The client device 10 is also connected to an operation input device 15 and a display device 16. In this embodiment, the client device 10 is used by a user who plays a game provided by the information processing system 1.

[0011] The control unit 11 is configured to include at least one processor and performs various information processing according to the program stored in the storage unit 12. The storage unit 12 includes at least one memory device such as RAM and stores the program executed by the control unit 11 and the data that is the target of processing by the program. The communication unit 13 is an interface for connecting to a communication network wirelessly or via a wired connection. Through this communication unit 13, the client device 10 communicates with the server device 20.

[0012] The interface unit 14 is connected to the operation input device 15 and the display device 16 wirelessly or via a wired connection, and transmits and receives various types of data between these devices. Specifically, the interface unit 14 receives control signals from the operation input device 15 indicating the content of the operation input performed by the user. It also transmits video signals to the display device 16 indicating the content of the video to be presented to the user.

[0013] The operation input device 15 includes, for example, a touch sensor or operation buttons, and receives operation input from the user and transmits a control signal indicating the content of that input to the client device 10. The display device 16 is a liquid crystal panel or the like, and displays an image on the display screen corresponding to the video signal received from the client device 10 and presents it to the user. The operation input device 15 and the display device 16 may be configured integrally with the client device 10, for example, by being arranged on the surface of the housing of the client device 10.

[0014] The server device 20 is an information processing device such as a server computer, and is configured to include a control unit 21, a storage unit 22, and a communication unit 23. The server device 20 executes processing related to the game provided by the information processing system 1.

[0015] The control unit 21 is configured to include at least one processor and performs various information processing according to the program stored in the storage unit 22. Specific examples of the processing performed by the control unit 21 in this embodiment will be described later. The storage unit 22 includes at least one memory device such as RAM and stores the program executed by the control unit 21 and the data that is the target of processing by the program. The communication unit 23 is an interface for connecting to a communication network wirelessly or via a wired connection. The server device 20 communicates with the client device 10 through this communication unit 23.

[0016] Here, we will explain the overview of the game service provided by the information processing system 1. In this embodiment, each user of the client device 10 plays a game provided by the server device 20. In this game, multiple stages are pre-prepared for play. A stage is a unit of the game that each user plays at once, and the user selects the stage they will play and its stages. After selecting the items to use in the game, the player begins playing the game for that stage. The content of the game played in each stage can vary and is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the user who plays the game will be rewarded for playing the game in each stage. Hereafter, the reward given to the user for playing the game in each stage will be referred to as the play reward. In other words, the play reward is given to the user each time the user plays the game. The play reward will only be given if the user clears the game in that stage (if the success conditions are met). The play reward may be an item that the user can use in the game.

[0017] Furthermore, this service allows for both single-player mode, where one user plays a single stage of the game by themselves, and multiplayer mode, where multiple users play a single stage of the game together. In multiplayer mode, a host user recruits participants, and one or more guests request to join in response to the host's recruitment. Hereinafter, both host and guest users participating in a single multiplayer session will be referred to as participating users. In multiplayer mode, the actions of each participating user within the game will affect the gameplay of other participating users. Multiplayer mode can take various forms, such as cooperative play where multiple participating users work together to achieve the same goal, or competitive play where participating users compete against each other. Even when playing the same stage of the game, the content and number of play rewards awarded may differ between single-player and multiplayer modes. Also, even when performing the same multiplayer session, the content and number of play rewards may differ between the host user and the guest users.

[0018] In this embodiment, the server device 20 performs control to grant users a reward separate from the play reward when each user plays the game. The functions realized by the server device 20 in this embodiment will be described below using the functional block diagram in Figure 2. Functionally, the server device 20 is configured to include a game processing execution unit 31, a play reward granting unit 32, and a lottery reward granting unit 33. Furthermore, the lottery reward granting unit 33 is configured to include a winning condition determination unit 33a, a lottery processing unit 33b, and a lottery status display unit 33c. These functions can be realized by the control unit 21 executing a program stored in the storage unit 22. This program may be provided to the server device 20 via a communication network such as the Internet, or it may be stored in a computer-readable, non-temporary information storage medium such as an optical disc and provided to the server device 20.

[0019] The game processing execution unit 31 executes various types of processing related to the progress of the game provided by the information processing system 1 in the present embodiment. Specifically, the game processing execution unit 31 manages the aforementioned stage information and provides stage information in response to requests from each client device 10. Further, when information indicating the content of play on a stage is executed by the client device 10, the game processing execution unit 31 receives the execution result thereof and records the game play result of each user. Note that the game play result corresponding to the game play content of each user may be determined on the client device 10 side, or the game processing execution unit 31 may receive operation data indicating the user's operation content each time and determine the game play result.

[0020] The play reward granting unit 32 grants a play reward determined according to the play content to each user every time the user plays the game once. The content of the play reward may be determined by the stage that the user has played. Particularly in the present embodiment, when a user clears a game of a certain stage, at least one play reward is granted. Furthermore, the number of play rewards shall vary depending on the content of the game play, the items used at the start of the play, and the like.

[0021] As a specific example, the play reward granting unit 32 may increase the number of play rewards when the play content is considered excellent, such as increasing the number of rewards when a stage is cleared within a predetermined time (or a predetermined number of turns), or increasing the number of rewards when the stage is cleared without continuing. Further, the play reward may be increased when the stage is cleared using a character having a high specific status that contributes to an increase in rewards. Further, in the case of multiplayer play, the play reward may be increased more than in the case of single-player play, or in the case of multiplayer play, the play reward may be increased according to the play content of other participating users. Further, when the use of an item that increases rewards is selected before the start of game play, the number of play rewards at the time of clearing may be increased. The play reward granting unit 32 may also increase the number of play rewards under various other conditions. Further, the extent to which the number of play rewards is increased according to each condition may be arbitrarily determined according to game balance or the like.

[0022] The lottery reward granting unit 33 grants a reward separate from the play reward granted by the play reward granting unit 32 according to the user's game play. Hereinafter, the reward separate from the play reward granted by the lottery reward granting unit 33 is referred to as a lottery reward. The lottery reward granting unit 33 performs one or more lotteries each time the user clears a game, and grants a lottery reward to the user when the result of the lottery satisfies a predetermined winning condition. The lottery reward may also be an item or the like usable in the game similarly to the play reward. Further, the lottery reward may include an item of a different type from the play reward, or may include an item of the same type. The content of the lottery reward shall be determined independently of the stage played by the user and the content of the play reward granted as a result of the play. However, the lottery itself may be executed when the user plays a predetermined specific stage. In this case, even if the user plays another stage, the lottery is not performed, and therefore no lottery reward is granted. Hereinafter, a stage for which a lottery is performed is referred to as a target stage.

[0023] In this embodiment in particular, the lottery reward distribution unit 33 conducts a number of draws determined by the number of play rewards distributed to the user by the play reward distribution unit 32 each time the user plays the game on the target stage. More specifically, the lottery reward distribution unit 33 increases the number of draws as the number of play rewards increases. For example, the lottery reward distribution unit 33 conducts the same number of draws as the number of play rewards. However, the lottery reward distribution unit 33 is not limited to this and may determine the number of draws in any way it chooses, such as determining the number of draws to be proportional to the number of play rewards. Note that the lottery reward distribution unit 33 may determine the number of draws not based on the total number of play rewards distributed to the user through gameplay, but based on the number of play rewards that meet certain conditions (for example, play rewards with a rarity of a certain level or higher). The more draws there are, the greater the chance of winning a lottery reward. Therefore, by increasing the number of draws in proportion to the number of play rewards, it is possible to motivate users to play the target stage and try to obtain more play rewards, regardless of the content of the rewards.

[0024] The following describes an example of the lottery process flow implemented by the lottery reward awarding unit 33, using the flowchart in Figure 3. Here, the lottery reward awarding unit 33 awards lottery rewards according to a lottery reward awarding process modeled after a bingo game. Specifically, the lottery reward awarding unit 33 starts a new lottery reward awarding process at a predetermined start time (S1). This predetermined start time may be, for example, the arrival of a predetermined date and time, or the completion of the previous lottery reward awarding process that was being executed up to that point.

[0025] When a new lottery reward awarding process begins, the winning condition determination unit 33a first determines the winning conditions (S2). These winning conditions define an arrangement of numbers corresponding to the contents of a bingo card in a bingo game. In other words, in this embodiment, the lottery processing unit 33b determines multiple A lottery process is performed to select one number from the number selection target (referred to as "numbers" in this case), and the winning condition determination unit 33a determines the contents of one or more winning sets that define the winning conditions by a combination of multiple numbers. Each of these winning sets corresponds to one of the columns in the bingo card, and if all of the multiple numbers defined in that winning set are selected through the lottery process, a lottery reward is awarded.

[0026] After the lottery reward distribution process begins, each time a user plays a game on a target stage, the play reward distribution unit 32 distributes one or more play rewards to that user (S3). Subsequently, the lottery processing unit 33b performs one or more draws to select one target from among multiple selection targets (S4). At this time, the lottery processing unit 33b performs the draw a number of times corresponding to the number of play rewards distributed to the user in S3. Each draw performed by the lottery processing unit 33b is equivalent to the act of selecting one bingo ball using a bingo machine in a bingo game. In this example, the multiple selection targets are a group of numbers consisting of numbers within a predetermined range (for example, 99 numbers from 1 to 99), and the lottery processing unit 33b randomly selects one number from this group in each draw. Note that the same number will not be selected multiple times during a single lottery reward distribution process, and a number that has been selected in a draw once is excluded from the group of numbers to be selected in subsequent draws.

[0027] The lottery processing unit 33b determines whether the winning conditions have been met as a result of this one or more lotteries (S5), and if it determines that the conditions have been met, it grants the user a lottery reward (S6). Here, the state in which the winning conditions have been met means that all of the multiple numbers specified in any of the winning sets determined in S2 have been selected. The lottery reward may be predetermined and associated with each winning set, or it may be determined according to the number of winning sets in which the winning conditions have been met. For example, the lottery processing unit 33b may grant item A if the winning conditions have been met for any one winning set, then item B if the winning conditions have been met for a second winning set, and so on, granting a lottery reward each time the winning conditions have been met for a new winning set. In S5, whether the winning conditions have been met or not, the lottery status display unit 33c presents the results of the lottery processing to the user (S7). Specific examples of what the lottery status display unit 33c presents to the user will be described later.

[0028] Next, the lottery processing unit 33b determines whether a predetermined termination condition has been met (S8), and if it is determined that the termination condition has been met, it terminates the series of lottery reward granting processes (S9). In this case, the termination condition may be, for example, that a predetermined number of lotteries have been performed, or that all of the pre-prepared lottery rewards have been granted to the user. It may also be a combination of these, or other conditions.

[0029] If the predetermined termination conditions are not met, the current lottery reward distribution process continues, and the next time the user plays the game on the target stage, it returns to S3 and the lottery is conducted again. In other words, while one lottery reward distribution process is ongoing, the user can play the game on the target stage multiple times, giving them multiple chances to participate in the lottery. As mentioned above, the same number will not be selected multiple times in the lottery, so by repeatedly participating in the lottery, the number of candidates for selection in the next lottery decreases, and the probability of meeting the winning conditions increases.

[0030] The lottery status display unit 33c displays a screen showing the status of the lottery reward granting process described above on a display device 16 connected to the client device 10 used by the user. Specifically, at the start of the lottery reward granting process, the lottery status display unit 33c displays a lottery status display screen that includes an array image containing an array of representational images representing each of the selected items included in the winning set (i.e., items that contribute to winning). This array image may be modeled after a bingo card. Hereinafter, this array image will be referred to as card image C.

[0031] Figure 4 shows an example of a drawing status display screen including such a card image C. In this example, just like a typical bingo card, the representation images of the numbers to be drawn are arranged to form a 5x5 square, with a free frame in the center that does not correspond to a number. In other words, in this example, there are 24 numbers that contribute to the selection of a winning number. In the following, the representation images of each number within card image C will be referred to as number images N.

[0032] In this example, the winning condition determination unit 33a determines 24 numbers to be placed within the card image C, thereby determining a total of 12 winning sets corresponding to 5 horizontal columns, 5 vertical columns, and 2 diagonal columns. These winning sets define the winning conditions by combinations of 5 or 4 numbers, for example, a winning set consisting of 5 numbers "46", "50", "72", "11", and "87" corresponding to the rightmost vertical column of the card image C, and a winning set consisting of 4 numbers "98", "41", "4", and "72" corresponding to the central horizontal column. As mentioned above, when a lottery is held from 99 numbers from 1 to 99, only some of them will be included in the winning sets, and some will not be included in the winning sets (i.e., will not contribute to winning). The dashed lines in this figure indicate that the number image N is displayed grayed out, indicating that not all numbers have been selected by the lottery process.

[0033] Furthermore, this lottery status display screen may include information such as the number of times the lottery has been conducted so far (the number of numbers that have been selected through the lottery), along with the card image C. This allows users to understand the progress of the lottery reward distribution process.

[0034] When the lottery processing unit 33b executes one or more lottery processes in accordance with the user's gameplay results, the lottery status display unit 33c presents a screen showing the lottery results to the user as part of the process described in S7 above. If the user obtains multiple play rewards through gameplay, multiple lottery processes will be executed. However, if the user is shown each of the selected items one by one, it would take too much time for the user to confirm them. Therefore, the lottery processing unit 33b presents the user with multiple items selected by the multiple lottery processes executed in response to a single gameplay session, all at once.

[0035] Specifically, the lottery processing unit 33b first displays a screen that lists the multiple selection targets chosen as a result of the lottery. In this example, we assume that images resembling balls with each number drawn as a result of the lottery are displayed as representational images representing the selected numbers. These representational images representing the numbers will be referred to as ball images B below. Figure 5 shows an example of a screen showing such lottery results. In this example, a total of 11 lotteries are performed based on the user's performance playing the target stage once, and 11 ball images B are displayed in a row to indicate that 11 numbers have been selected.

[0036] Subsequently, the lottery status display unit 33c presents the user with a video showing whether or not a win has occurred based on the selected numbers. As an example, the lottery status display unit 33c displays multiple ball images B corresponding to multiple selected numbers all at once, and overlaid on the aforementioned card image C. Figure 6 shows an example of a lottery status display screen that presents multiple selected items chosen by the lottery to the user at once, and shows an intermediate state of the video showing the lottery results. In this example, the ball images B with the numbers selected by the lottery are displayed overlaid on the card image C so that they are in front of the card image C.

[0037] In the example shown in Figure 6, the numbers selected by the lottery process include both numbers included in the winning set (numbers whose number image N is contained within card image C) and numbers not included in the winning set. From this state, the lottery status display unit 33c displays a moving image showing the ball image B of a number not included in the winning set gradually approaching card image C, hitting card image C, and then being bounced off the screen. Subsequently, it displays a moving image showing the ball image B of a number included in the winning set moving to a position where it overlaps with the corresponding number image N within card image C, and then shrinking to the same size as number image N. In this way, by presenting the user with moving images that distinguish the numbers included in the winning set from the numbers not included in the winning set, the user can easily grasp which numbers contribute to winning among the multiple numbers selected by the lottery.

[0038] Furthermore, when the ball image B of a number included in the winning set overlaps with the corresponding number image N in the card image C, the lottery status display unit 33c changes the display manner of the number image N to a manner that makes it possible to identify that it has been selected by lottery. Specifically, the lottery status display unit 33c displays the number image N in the card image C that represents the selected number in a manner that differs from the unselected number image N in at least one of the following: color, brightness, shape, size, etc. This allows the user to understand which numbers included in the winning set have been selected and which have not. Furthermore, when all numbers included in any winning set have been selected by lottery (i.e., when all numbers in any column in the card image C have been selected), the lottery status display unit 33c may indicate that all numbers included in the winning set have been selected, for example, by highlighting that column.

[0039] Figure 7 shows an example of a lottery status display screen where the display of the number image N representing the selected numbers has changed, after the display of the video showing the lottery results has finished, following the state shown in Figure 6. In this example, similar to Figure 4, the dashed line shows the number image N (number image N representing the unselected numbers) in gray, while the solid line shows the number image N (number image N representing the selected numbers) in color without being grayed out. In this example, all the numbers in the rightmost column have been selected. As a result, all five numbers "46", "50", "72", "11", and "87" included in the winning set corresponding to the rightmost column have been selected, and the winning conditions defined by this winning set have been met. Therefore, the user has been awarded the first lottery reward.

[0040] Furthermore, the lottery status display unit 33c may display a card image C, as exemplified in Figure 7, to the user at a time requested by the user during the lottery reward distribution process. This allows the user to easily understand, at any time, how many times the lottery has been conducted, whether any winners have been selected, or how close they are to winning.

[0041] Furthermore, the lottery status display unit 33c may, at an intermediate stage in the lottery reward distribution process, present to the user, upon user request, a screen showing the selected numbers as illustrated in Figure 8. In this example, among the 99 numbers to be selected in the lottery, the selected numbers are displayed in a manner that makes them distinguishable from the unselected numbers. More specifically, the selected numbers are displayed in a manner that makes them distinguishable from the unselected numbers in terms of color, brightness, shape, size, etc. In this figure, the numbers included in the winning set may also be displayed in a manner that makes them distinguishable from the numbers not included.

[0042] According to the server device 20 of this embodiment described above, a lottery is performed a number of times that changes according to the user's gameplay results, and lottery rewards are given to the user according to the results of the lottery, thereby providing the user with an incentive to play in a way that will earn them more rewards. It is possible.

[0043] The lottery reward distribution process described above will be carried out independently for each of the multiple users of this service. In other words, the lottery for each user will be conducted at an independent time. However, the winning conditions may be determined in common for multiple users.

[0044] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to those described above. For example, the content of the lottery status display screen and the video showing the results of the lottery process described above are merely examples, and the progress of the lottery reward granting process and the results of the lottery process may be presented to the user in various ways. Furthermore, in the lottery reward granting process described above, a lottery is conducted using winning conditions and a lottery method similar to a bingo game to determine whether or not a lottery reward will be granted, but the lottery method and the method for setting the winning conditions are not limited to those described above and may be of various types.

[0045] Furthermore, at least a portion of the processing that the client device 10 and the server device 20 are to perform in the above description may be distributed and performed by multiple devices. Also, at least a portion of the processing that the server device 20 is to perform in the above description may be performed on the client device 10 side. In particular, in the above description, the server device 20 itself determines the winning conditions and performs the lottery process to award the lottery reward, but the lottery process may be performed by the client device 10. In this case, the client device 10 will function as an information processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the client device 10 may determine the winning conditions itself, or it may obtain information on the winning conditions from the server device 20. Furthermore, the client device 10 may perform all the processing related to this game on its own, in which case the server device 20 may not be necessary. [Explanation of Symbols]
