The server 200 includes a processor 20, a memory 21, a storage 22, a communication IF 23, and an input/output IF 24. These components provided in the server 200 are electrically connected to each other by a communication bus.

The user terminal 100 (computer, information processing device) may be a mobile terminal such as a smart phone, a feature phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or a tablet computer. The user terminal 100 may be a game device suitable for playing games. As illustrated, the user terminal 100 includes a processor 10, a memory 11, a storage 12, a communication interface (IF) 13, an input/output IF 14, a touch screen 15 (display unit), a camera 17, and a range sensor 18. and These components provided in the user terminal 100 are electrically connected to each other by a communication bus. Note that the user terminal 100 may include an input/output IF 14 to which a display (display unit) configured separately from the user terminal 100 main body can be connected instead of or in addition to the touch screen 15 .

Also, as shown in FIG. 1, user terminal 100 may be configured to communicate with one or more controllers 1020 . The controller 1020 establishes communication with the user terminal 100 according to communication standards such as Bluetooth (registered trademark), for example. The controller 1020 may have one or more buttons or the like, and transmits to the user terminal 100 an output value based on the user's input operation on the buttons or the like. Also, the controller 1020 may have various sensors such as an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor, and transmits output values of the various sensors to the user terminal 100 .

Note that the controller 1020 may have the camera 17 and the ranging sensor 18 instead of or in addition to the user terminal 100 having the camera 17 and the ranging sensor 18 .

The user terminal 100 preferably allows the user using the controller 1020 to input user identification information such as the user's name or login ID via the controller 1020, for example, at the start of the game. As a result, the user terminal 100 can associate the controller 1020 with the user, and identifies which user the output value belongs to based on the transmission source (controller 1020) of the received output value. be able to.

When the user terminal 100 communicates with a plurality of controllers 1020 , each user can hold each controller 1020 to communicate with the one user terminal 100 without communicating with other devices such as the server 200 via the network 2 . You can play multiplayer with. In addition, by connecting each user terminal 100 to each other for communication according to a wireless standard such as a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) standard (connecting for communication without going through the server 200), a plurality of user terminals 100 can realize local multiplay. You can also When the above-described multiplay is locally realized by one user terminal 100, the user terminal 100 may further include at least a part of various functions of the server 200, which will be described later. Also, in the case where multiple user terminals 100 locally implement the above-described multiplay, the multiple user terminals 100 may be provided with various functions of the server 200, which will be described later, in a distributed manner.

Note that the user terminal 100 may communicate with the server 200 even when the multiplay described above is implemented locally. For example, information indicating a play result such as score or win/loss in a certain game may be associated with user identification information and transmitted to the server 200 .

Also, the controller 1020 may be detachable from the user terminal 100 . In this case, at least one surface of the housing of the user terminal 100 may be provided with a coupling portion for the controller 1020 . When the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 are connected by wire through the connecting unit, the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 transmit and receive signals via the wire.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the user terminal 100 may accept the attachment of an external storage medium 1030 such as a memory card via the input/output IF 14 . This allows the user terminal 100 to read programs and data recorded on the storage medium 1030 . A program recorded in the storage medium 1030 is, for example, a game program.

User terminal 100 may store a game program acquired by communicating with an external device such as server 200 in memory 11 of user terminal 100, or may store a game program acquired by reading from storage medium 1030 in memory 11. may be stored in

As described above, the user terminal 100 includes the communication IF 13, the input/output IF 14, the touch screen 15, the camera 17, and the ranging sensor 18 as an example of a mechanism for inputting information to the user terminal 100. FIG. Each unit described above as an input mechanism can be regarded as an operation unit configured to receive a user's input operation.

For example, when the operation unit is composed of at least one of the camera 17 and the ranging sensor 18, the operation unit detects an object 1010 near the user terminal 100, and performs an input operation based on the detection result of the object. Identify. As an example, a user's hand as object 1010, a marker of a predetermined shape, or the like is detected, and an input operation is specified based on the color, shape, movement, type, or the like of object 1010 obtained as a detection result. be. More specifically, when the user's hand is detected from the image captured by the camera 17, the user terminal 100 detects a gesture (a series of movements of the user's hand) detected based on the captured image as an input operation of the user. identified and accepted as Note that the captured image may be a still image or a moving image.

Alternatively, when the operation unit is configured by the touch screen 15, the user terminal 100 identifies and accepts the user's operation performed on the input unit 151 of the touch screen 15 as the user's input operation. Alternatively, when the operation unit is configured by the communication IF 13, the user terminal 100 identifies and accepts a signal (for example, an output value) transmitted from the controller 1020 as the user's input operation. Alternatively, when the operation unit is configured by the input/output IF 14, a signal output from an input device (not shown) different from the controller 1020 connected to the input/output IF 14 is specified as the user's input operation and accepted.

<Hardware components of each device>
Processor 10 controls the overall operation of user terminal 100 . The processor 20 controls the operation of the server 200 as a whole. Processors 10 and 20 include a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), and a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).

The processor 10 reads a program from a storage 12, which will be described later, and develops it in a memory 11, which will be described later. The processor 20 reads a program from a storage 22, which will be described later, and develops it in a memory 21, which will be described later. Processor 10 and processor 20 execute the expanded program.

Memories 11 and 21 are main storage devices. The memories 11 and 21 are composed of storage devices such as ROM (Read Only Memory) and RAM (Random Access Memory). The memory 11 provides a work area for the processor 10 by temporarily storing programs and various data read by the processor 10 from a storage 12 described later. The memory 11 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 10 is operating according to the program. The memory 21 provides a work area for the processor 20 by temporarily storing various programs and data read by the processor 20 from a storage 22 described later. The memory 21 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 20 is operating according to the program.

The program in this embodiment may be a game program for realizing a game by the user terminal 100 . Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game through cooperation between user terminal 100 and server 200 . Note that the game realized by cooperation between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be, for example, a game executed on a browser activated on the user terminal 100 . Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation of a plurality of user terminals 100 . Further, the various types of data include game-related data such as user information and game information, and instructions or notifications transmitted and received between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 or between a plurality of user terminals 100 .

Storages 12 and 22 are auxiliary storage devices. The storages 12 and 22 are composed of storage devices such as flash memories or HDDs (Hard Disk Drives). Various data related to the game are stored in the storage 12 and the storage 22 .

The communication IF 13 controls transmission and reception of various data in the user terminal 100 . The communication IF 23 controls transmission and reception of various data in the server 200 . The communication IFs 13 and 23 control, for example, communication via a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), Internet communication via a wired LAN, wireless LAN, or mobile phone network, and communication using short-range wireless communication.

The input/output IF 14 is an interface for the user terminal 100 to receive data input, and an interface for the user terminal 100 to output data. The input/output IF 14 may input/output data via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) or the like. The input/output IF 14 may include physical buttons, a camera, a microphone, or a speaker of the user terminal 100, for example. The input/output IF 24 of the server 200 is an interface for the server 200 to receive data input and an interface for the server 200 to output data. The input/output IF 24 may include, for example, an input section that is an information input device such as a mouse or a keyboard, and a display section that is a device for displaying and outputting images.

The touch screen 15 of the user terminal 100 is an electronic component in which an input section 151 and a display section 152 are combined. The input unit 151 is, for example, a touch-sensitive device, and is configured by, for example, a touch pad. The display unit 152 is configured by, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display.

The input unit 151 detects the position where the user's operation (mainly physical contact operation such as touch operation, slide operation, swipe operation, and tap operation) is input on the input surface, and inputs information indicating the position. It has a function to transmit as a signal. The input unit 151 may include a touch sensing unit (not shown). The touch sensing unit may employ any type of system, such as a capacitive system or a resistive film system.

Although not shown, the user terminal 100 may include one or more sensors for identifying the holding posture of the user terminal 100 . This sensor may be, for example, an acceleration sensor or an angular velocity sensor. If the user terminal 100 is equipped with a sensor, the processor 10 can identify the holding posture of the user terminal 100 from the output of the sensor and perform processing according to the holding posture. For example, when the user terminal 100 is held vertically, the processor 10 may display a vertically long image on the display unit 152 for vertical screen display. On the other hand, when the user terminal 100 is held horizontally, a horizontal screen display may be used in which a horizontally long image is displayed on the display unit. Thus, the processor 10 may be able to switch between vertical screen display and horizontal screen display according to the holding posture of the user terminal 100 .

The camera 17 includes an image sensor or the like, and generates a captured image by converting incident light from a lens into an electrical signal.

The distance sensor 18 is a sensor that measures the distance to the object to be measured. The ranging sensor 18 includes, for example, a light source that emits pulse-converted light and a light receiving element that receives the light. The distance measuring sensor 18 measures the distance to the measurement object based on the light emission timing from the light source and the light reception timing of the reflected light generated when the light emitted from the light source hits the measurement object and is reflected.
The ranging sensor 18 may have a light source that emits directional light.

Here, an example in which the user terminal 100 uses the camera 17 and the ranging sensor 18 to detect the object 1010 near the user terminal 100 and accepts the detection result as the user's input operation will be further described. The camera 17 and the ranging sensor 18 may be provided on the side of the housing of the user terminal 100, for example. A ranging sensor 18 may be provided near the camera 17 .
As the camera 17, for example, an infrared camera can be used. In this case, the camera 17 may be provided with an illumination device that emits infrared light, a filter that blocks visible light, and the like.
This makes it possible to further improve the object detection accuracy based on the image captured by the camera 17, regardless of whether it is outdoors or indoors.

The processor 10 may perform one or more of the following processes (1) to (5) on the image captured by the camera 17, for example. (1) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to identify whether or not the captured image includes the user's hand. The processor 10 may use a technique such as pattern matching, for example, as the analysis technique employed in the image recognition processing described above. (2) The processor 10 also detects a user's gesture from the shape of the user's hand. For example, the processor 10 identifies the number of fingers of the user (the number of extended fingers) from the shape of the user's hand detected from the captured image. Processor 10 further identifies the gesture made by the user from the identified number of fingers. For example, when the number of fingers is five, processor 10 determines that the user has performed the "pa" gesture. In addition, when the number of fingers is 0 (no fingers are detected), the processor 10 determines that the user has performed the "goo" gesture. In addition, when the number of fingers is two, the processor 10 determines that the user has made the "Scissors" gesture. (3) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the image captured by the camera 17 to detect whether the user's finger is in a state in which only the index finger is raised or whether the user's finger is flicking. . (4) The processor 10 detects an object 1010 (such as a user's hand) near the user terminal 100 based on at least one of the image recognition result of the captured image of the camera 17 and the output value of the distance measuring sensor 18. ) and the user terminal 100 is detected. For example, the processor 10 determines whether the user's hand is close to the user terminal 100 (for example, a distance less than a predetermined value) or far away from the user terminal 100 (for example, a predetermined value or more distance). Note that when the captured image is a moving image, the processor 10 may detect whether the user's hand is approaching or moving away from the user terminal 100 . (5) When it is found that the distance between the user terminal 100 and the user's hand has changed while the user's hand is detected based on the image recognition result of the captured image of the camera 17, the processor 10 recognizes that the user is waving his hand in the photographing direction of the camera 17 . When an object is detected or not detected by the ranging sensor 18, which has a stronger directivity than the imaging range of the camera 17, the processor 10 detects that the user is waving his hand in a direction orthogonal to the imaging direction of the camera. recognize.

In this way, the processor 10 determines whether or not the user is clenching his/her hand (a "goo" gesture or another gesture (for example, "pa") by image recognition of the captured image of the camera 17. or) is detected. The processor 10 also detects how the user is moving the hand together with the shape of the user's hand. The processor 10 also detects whether the user is moving his/her hand closer to or away from the user terminal 100 . Such operations can correspond to operations using a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch panel, for example. For example, the user terminal 100 moves the pointer on the touch screen 15 according to the movement of the user's hand, and detects the user's gesture "goo". In this case, the user terminal 100 recognizes that the user is continuing the selection operation. The continuation of the selection operation corresponds to, for example, maintaining the state in which the mouse is clicked and pushed in, or maintaining the state of being touched after performing a touchdown operation on the touch panel. Further, when the user moves his/her hand while the user's gesture "goo" is detected, the user terminal 100 performs such a series of gestures as an operation corresponding to the swipe operation (or drag operation). can also recognize. Further, when the user terminal 100 detects a gesture such as flicking a finger based on the detection result of the user's hand from the captured image of the camera 17, the user terminal 100 detects the gesture by clicking the mouse or tapping the touch panel. may be recognized as an operation corresponding to

<Game Overview>
The game system 1 performs a first process of selecting one of a plurality of objects including a specific object that can be used in a game based on a game program based on a selection probability set for each of the plurality of objects. It is a system that runs multiple times.

The first process may be a process of selecting an object based on a selection probability set for each of a plurality of objects, such as a process of selecting by lottery. Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, a mode in which the first process is a process of selecting an object by lottery will be described, and this process is also referred to as "lottery process". In this embodiment, the first step executes the lottery process multiple times. Hereinafter, "plurality" in the first step is also referred to as "n" (n is an integer equal to or greater than 2). For convenience of explanation, the lottery process that is executed a predetermined number of times collectively in this way is also referred to as "continuous lottery process", including the case where the lottery process is executed a plurality of times at the same time. It is desirable that the value of the consumable items required for one lottery process among the continuous lottery processes is the same as or less than the value of the consumable items required for the one-time lottery process that is not continuous.

In addition, the object determined as the selection result after the selection process is given to the user and can be used for game play. Note that the object or the like is said to be granted to the user to be associated with the user and stored in the memory.

The objects selected by the lottery process include characters that can be used in the game, objects that are used in association with the characters, and the like. Objects used in association with a character may be, for example, items such as weapons and armor used in association with a character, special attacks, recovery, skills that change the state of an object such as a character, and the like. In this embodiment, a form in which the object selected by the lottery process is a character will be described.

Each character selected in the lottery process has a unique rarity. A rarity level is a kind of game parameter that numerically expresses the rarity of a character in a game. The higher the rarity of the character, the higher the rarity of the character in the game. In the present disclosure, the rarity of a character takes any value among S, A, B, and C ranks. Hereinafter, characters having rarity levels of S, A, B, and C ranks are also simply referred to as characters of S, A, B, and C ranks, respectively. The higher the rarity of a character is, the lower the probability that the character will be selected by lottery. In other words, the higher the rarity of a character, the less likely the user will be able to acquire that character. The value of a character in the game is higher as the rarity is higher. For example, the higher the rarity of the character, the higher the performance of the character.

The game executed by the game system 1 (hereinafter referred to as the game) is not limited to a specific genre, and may be a game of any genre. For example, sports-themed games such as tennis, table tennis, dodgeball, baseball, soccer and hockey, puzzle games, quiz games, RPGs, adventure games, shooting games, simulation games, breeding games, and action games. good too. Hereinafter, as an example, this game will be described as a puzzle game that can be played in units of stages in which predetermined achievement conditions are set. The details of the game contents will be described later.

Also, the game is not limited to a specific play style, and may be a game of any play style. For example, a single-player game played by a single user, a multiplayer game played by a plurality of users, and among multiplayer games, a competitive game in which a plurality of users compete against each other, and a cooperative play game in which a plurality of users cooperate with each other. may

Furthermore, a device other than the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be used as a component of the game system 1 and the other device may be caused to perform part of the processing in the game system 1 . That is, the computer that executes the game program in this embodiment may be any of the user terminal 100, the server 200, and other devices, or may be realized by a combination of a plurality of these devices.

<Example of processing flow and play screen>
(Game screen example)
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a stage play screen displayed on the display unit 152 of the user terminal 100 in the game based on the game system 1 of this embodiment.

FIG. 3A is a puzzle screen displayed by the game progression unit 115, and is an example of the play screen of the stage described above. This puzzle screen is composed of a board surface including a plurality of puzzle elements 501 and a launch platform 502 . A plurality of puzzle elements 501 are arranged within the board surface. Each puzzle element 501 displays one of a plurality of types of characters. Any of the character elements 503 can be set on the launch table 502 . When the character element 503 on the injection platform 502 is operated, the game progression unit 115 injects the character element 503 to collide with at least a part of the plurality of puzzle elements 501, and according to the collision, the plurality of puzzle elements 501 is changed. At this time, if a predetermined number or more of the puzzle elements 501 displaying the same type of character as the ejected character element 503 are consecutively arranged among the plurality of puzzle elements 501, the game progression unit 115 performs the puzzle Element 501 is removed from the board. Also, the game progression unit 115 calculates a play result according to the removed puzzle element 501 . The play result is represented by, for example, the number of puzzle elements 501 of the same type that are removed in succession (the number of chains).

Here, the character element 503 that can be set on the launch table 502 is any character possessed by the user. For example, the game progression unit 115 may display a selection screen on which the character element 503 to be set on the launch pad 502 can be selected from the list 504 of characters held. FIG. 3B is an example of the selection screen. The selection screen includes a list 504 of owned characters. In this example, list 504 contains three characters: "Tia", "Heart", and "Luna". In the list 504, the thick outline of the figure representing the "tier" indicates that the character is selected. The selection screen also includes a parameter display 505 regarding the selected character. The selection screen also includes a “set” button 506 for instructing to set the character element 503 of the selected character on the launch table 502 .

In this example, the parameter display 505 displays that the level is 23 and the unit score is 454 as parameters related to "tier". The level is set to an initial value (for example, 1) when the character is given to the user for the first time.
Also, the level increases according to, for example, the accumulated score during play by the character. Also, the level is increased, for example, when the same character as the character is given to the user. The score unit price is the score unit price when removed from the board in play. The score unit price increases as the level increases. When a character is obtained by opening any of the possessed capsule groups, a new character is added to the list 504 of such a selection screen. Alternatively, if the character obtained by opening the package is an existing character, the level of the character is increased.

(Processing flow of the entire lottery process)
Next, an example of the processing flow of the entire lottery processing in this game will be described step by step with reference to FIG. In addition, the processing based on the following description is an example, and the invention according to the present embodiment is not limited to a specific configuration. Also, in the following description, among a series of processing steps described using flowcharts, at least some of the steps described as being executed by the user terminal 100 may be executed by the server 200 . Also, at least some of the steps described as being performed by the server 200 may be performed by the user terminal 100 . FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the flow of the entire lottery process.

In step S<b>101 , the determination unit 113 determines whether or not a user operation instructing execution of the lottery process has been performed. If the determination unit 113 determines that the execution of the lottery process has been instructed, then the process of step S102 is executed, otherwise the process based on the flowchart of FIG. 4 ends. A screen example regarding the lottery process will be described later. In this embodiment, lottery processing is executed based on a user operation, but the present invention is not limited to such a form, and for example, the lottery unit 112 automatically by satisfying a predetermined condition set in the game. may perform the lottery process.

A lottery process is executed in exchange for a predetermined consumable item that can be used in the game. The game program subtracts a corresponding value from the predetermined consumable item stored in the memory in association with the user each time the lottery process is executed. For example, the value to be subtracted in the lottery process is proportional to the number of consumable items. Also, the predetermined consumable item may be a valuable item that is sold for a fee, or an item that can be obtained for free during game play.

In step S102, the lottery section 112 requests the server 200 to execute a lottery process for selecting characters n times. Specifically, the lottery unit 112 performs the lottery process n times to select one of a plurality of characters including a specific character (first character) based on the selection probability set for each of the plurality of characters. A request is made to the server 200 for the process to be executed.

In step S103, the lottery executing unit 212 executes lottery processing to select n characters including k or more A-rare characters. In step S104, the object management unit 114 gives the selected n characters to the user. The provision of a character is intended to cause the selected character to be associated with the user and stored in memory 11 . Control unit 110 causes display unit 152 to display a screen indicating that the user has acquired the n characters.

(Screen example and probability table related to lottery processing)
Next, an example of a screen when performing a lottery process, which is one aspect of the present invention, and an example of a probability table that defines the probability of each character being selected in the lottery process will be described. FIG. 5A is a diagram showing an example of a screen for receiving an instruction for lottery processing.

In FIG. 5A, icons 302a and 302b show appearances of characters that can be selected in the lottery process. Texts 304a and 304b indicate the names of characters indicated by icons 302a and 302b, respectively. Icons 306a and 306b indicate rarity levels of characters indicated by icons 302a and 302b, respectively. The number of stars being four corresponds to the rarity being S rank. The number of stars of 3, 2, and 1 correspond to the rarity levels of A, B, and C, respectively. An icon 308 indicates that the character illustrated nearby, here "Robo", is a new character added after a predetermined date and time as a character that can be selected in the lottery process.

A button 310 is an example of a UI object that instructs transition to a probability table display screen. The button 312 is an example of a UI object that instructs to execute the lottery process once in exchange for five consumable items that can be used in the game. Also, the button 314 is an example of a UI object that instructs to execute the lottery process a total of 11 times in exchange for 25 consumable items.

When the determination unit 113 determines that a selection operation has been performed on the button 310 on the screen shown in FIG. 5A, the control unit 110 then causes the display unit 152 to display the screen shown in FIG. 5B. FIG. 5B is a diagram showing an example screen including a probability table.

Text 316 is a display for showing the content of lottery processing to the user. Specifically, the text 316 shows an example of the procedure for including at least one specific character in the lottery result in the continuous lottery process corresponding to the button 314 .

As shown in text 316, in the present embodiment, when continuous lottery processing is performed to select a plurality of characters in response to user operations, k characters are added to the n characters selected by the lottery processing. It is determined whether or not the above specific characters are included, and if the determination result is true, the selected n characters are associated with the user and stored in the storage unit 120 . On the other hand, if the determination result is false and at least one specific character is included in the first plurality of characters, the user is provided with m specific characters included in the selected n characters. It is held as a target, and the first process is executed nm times (n minus m). Further, it is determined whether or not the selected n−m characters include k−m or more specific characters obtained by subtracting m from k. and the selected nm characters are stored in memory in association with the user.

In this embodiment, a specific character is a character (first object) of rank A or higher. With such a configuration, by using only one probability table, it is possible to definitely include a plurality of characters of A rank or higher in the plurality of characters selected to be given to the user, and the user's sense of satisfaction is satisfied. can be improved. In addition, since it can be expected that a plurality of characters of rank A or higher will be given, the user's motivation for executing consecutive lotteries is improved.

The probability table 318 shows the name of each character, the rank, the set probability set for each character, and the sum of the probability that the character of each rank is selected. The setting probability is one aspect of the selection probability in the present invention.

The set probabilities set for each character may be different from each other, or may be partially or wholly the same. In the present embodiment, the set probabilities are different for each rank, and the set probabilities are the same for the same rank. In particular, since the probability of selecting an S-rank character and the probability of selecting an A-rank character are different, it is fun to predict which character will be awarded to the user as a definite character. while providing a character with a low selection probability, it is possible to suppress an increase in the probability of actually winning the prize, and to maintain the rarity of the character.

Also, characters that can be selected in the lottery process may include new characters that have become available after a predetermined point in time. For example, a new character may be added as a character to be selected at regular intervals or at any time, or may replace some of the characters already being selected. As a result of this, it can be expected that a character that becomes available after a predetermined point of time will be given as a character of A rank or higher definitely included in the result of the continuous lottery, so that the execution of the continuous lottery is instructed. improve user motivation to Characters to be selected may include characters that are provided only for a predetermined period. For example, after being added as a character to be selected at a predetermined time, the character may be deleted from the characters to be selected at a predetermined time. As a result, it can be expected that a character provided only for a predetermined period will be awarded as a character of rank A or higher that is definitely included in the results of consecutive lotteries. Increased motivation.

The one-time lottery process for selecting one character starting from the button 312 will be explained by replacing n times with one time and n characters with one character in the process based on the flowchart of FIG. be done.

When a selection operation is performed on the button 314 on the screen shown in FIG. 5A, the screen shown in FIG. 6A is subsequently displayed. FIG. 6A is a diagram showing an example of a confirmation screen regarding the execution of a total of 11 consecutive lottery processes. Here, the text 621 indicates the number of consumable items currently associated with the user, in other words, the number of consumable items possessed by the user. Buttons 622 and 623 are examples of UI objects for instructing whether or not to execute the lottery process. Here, when a selection operation is performed on the button 622, the screen transitions to, for example, the screen shown in FIG. When a selection operation is performed on the button 623, continuous lottery processing is executed, and the screen shown in FIG. 6B is displayed. Note that the selection operation on the button 623 corresponds to "when execution of the lottery process is instructed" in the determination of step S101 in the flowchart of FIG.

FIG. 6B is a diagram showing an example of a screen showing the results of continuous lottery processing. Here, the icon 626 indicates the rank of the character illustrated nearby. For example, the rarity level of the character "Tia" is A rank. Also, the rarity of the character "Bear" is S rank.

Note that the display order of the objects is not limited to the order selected in the lottery process. For example, the objects may be arranged and displayed in descending order of rank. Also, in FIG. 6B, a display form in which a high-rank object is decorated with gorgeous decorations may be used. Text 628 also indicates the number of remaining consumable items associated with the user. Then, when a selection operation is performed on the button 627, the screen transitions to, for example, the screen shown in FIG. The above is the flow of screen transition in the lottery process. Also, the single lottery process when the button 312 in FIG. 5A is selected is explained in the same way by replacing the number of lotteries of 11 times with 1 time in the above description.

(Lottery processing example)
FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing the flow of lottery processing for selecting n characters. The processing example described below is an example of the processing of step S103 shown in FIG.

In one aspect of the present embodiment, the lottery executing unit 212 selects characters from a group of characters that are available in a game based on the game program 121 and for which selection probabilities are set for each character in response to a user's operation. A first selection process is executed to select n characters (n is an integer equal to or greater than 2) based on the probability, and k characters (k is an integer of 2 or more) or higher, the selected n characters are given to the user, and m (m is 1 or more and less than k Integer) of A rank or higher characters are included, the m characters of A rank or higher are held as targets to be given to the user, and based on the selection probability from a group of characters nm A second selection process for selecting characters is executed.

Further, when the selected nm characters include km or more characters of A rank or higher, the lottery execution unit 212 selects m characters of A rank or higher from the selected n−m characters are given to the user. In addition, if the selected nm characters do not include characters of A rank or higher, the lottery execution unit 212 keeps the selected nm characters until the selected nm characters include km or more characters. , the second selection process is repeatedly executed. Also, if the n characters selected by the first selection process do not include characters of rank A or higher, the lottery execution unit 212 executes the first selection process again.

In this embodiment, the case of n=11, k=2, and m=1 will be described. Of course, n, k, and m are not limited to these values. For example, n=11, k=3, and m=2.

In step S201, the lottery execution unit 212 selects n characters by executing the first selection process. In one aspect, the first selection process is a process in which one process of selecting one character is executed a total of n times, and in another aspect, the process of selecting n characters at once is performed only once. This is the process to be executed. In any case, as a result of the execution of the first selection process, one of n characters of B rank to S rank is selected.

In step S202, the lottery executing unit 212 determines whether k or more characters of rank A or higher are included in the selected n characters. In the case of YES in step S202, in step S203, the lottery executing unit 212 determines the selected n characters as the lottery result. As a result, in the user terminal 100, n characters including k or more A-rank characters are given to the user.

In the case of NO in step S202, in step S204, the lottery executing unit 212 determines whether or not one or more characters of rank A or higher are included in the selected n characters. If NO in step S204, the process of FIG. 7 returns to step S201 . As a result, the lottery execution unit 212 again executes the first selection process for selecting n characters.

In the case of YES in step S204, in step S205, the lottery executing unit 212 retains m characters of rank A or higher included in the selected n characters. In step S206, the lottery execution unit 212 executes a second selection process of selecting nm characters from the group of objects based on the selection probability. In step S207, the lottery execution unit 212 determines whether or not the selected nm characters include km or more characters of rank A or higher. If NO in step S207, the process shown in FIG. 7 returns to step S206. As a result, the lottery execution unit 212 again executes the second selection process for selecting nm characters. The lottery execution unit 212 repeatedly executes the second selection process until the selection result includes km characters of rank A or higher.

If YES in step S207, in step S208, the lottery executing unit 212 determines the retained m characters of rank A or higher and the selected nm characters as the lottery results. As a result, in the user terminal 100, n characters including k or more characters of rank A or higher are given to the user.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating processing related to an example of lottery processing. In this example, the lottery execution unit 212 selects n (11 in this example) characters 802 by executing a first selection process based on set probabilities 801 defined in the probability table. A setting probability 801 is an example of selection probabilities set for each of a plurality of objects, and the selection probabilities for characters of each rank are set. Also, in FIG. 8, letters S and A to C indicate the rank of the character (the same applies to the following drawings). The selected n characters 802 include only m characters (one character in this example) of rank A or higher. According to this selection result, the lottery execution unit 212 retains this A-rank character, and by executing the second selection process based on the set probability 801, nm bodies (10 bodies in this example) Select character 803 .

The characters 803 do not include characters of rank A or higher. Based on this selection result, the lottery execution unit 212 selects nm characters 804 by executing the second selection process again based on the set probability 801 . The selected nm characters 804 include one S-rank character. Therefore, the lottery executing unit 212 determines the one A-rank character selected by the first selection process and the 10 characters selected by the second selection process as the lottery result. The lottery execution unit 212 notifies the user terminal 100 of the lottery result, and in response to the notification, the user terminal 100 stores 11 characters 805 including two characters of rank A or higher in association with the user. Stored in unit 120 . This completes the lottery process in which two or more characters of rank A or higher are definitely discharged.

(main effects)
According to the present embodiment, by using only one probability table, it is possible to deterministically include a plurality of characters of rank A or higher in the plurality of characters selected to be given to the user. can be improved. In addition, since it can be expected that a plurality of characters of rank A or higher will be given, the user's motivation for executing consecutive lotteries is improved.

Furthermore, if k or more A-rank or higher characters are not selected by the first selection process, but m characters of A-rank or higher are selected by the first selection process, nm characters are selected without redoing the first selection process. Since the second selection process for selecting the body character is executed, the number of lotteries does not increase excessively. This makes it possible to more efficiently perform the process of selecting n characters that definitely include a plurality of A-rank or higher characters whose rarity level is higher than the reference value. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the processing load on the server 200 from increasing when selecting n characters.

(Example of advertisement video playback)
In one aspect of the present embodiment, the user terminal 100 reproduces the advertisement video during execution of the first selection process and the second selection process; Plays an effect showing the selection result of . In addition, when all n characters of rank A or higher given to the user are selected, the user's operation for skipping the reproduction of the advertisement moving image can be accepted. Examples of these processes are shown in FIG.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of reproduction of an advertisement moving image. The display control unit 116 displays, for example, the game screen shown in FIG. 9A on the display unit 152 during execution of the first selection process or the second selection process. The display control unit 116 displays a text explaining that the character lottery process is being executed on the screen, and also reproduces the advertisement moving image 901 . The display control unit 116 may reproduce any moving image other than the advertisement instead of the advertisement moving image 901 . In this embodiment, during the lottery process, there is a possibility that the character redrawing process may be repeated in order to determine k or more characters of A rank or higher. If the advertisement moving image 901 is reproduced during the execution of , the user can have a waiting time by viewing the advertisement moving image 901 while waiting for the presentation of the selection result. This keeps the user from getting bored during the game.

When all n characters including k or more characters of rank A or higher are selected, the display control unit 116 displays a skip button 902 on the game screen as shown in FIG. 9B. The skip button 902 is a user interface component that can accept a user's operation for causing the user terminal 100 to skip the reproduction processing of the advertisement moving image 901 . As shown in FIG. 9B, by presenting a skip button 902 to the user when the process of selecting n characters is completed, the user can skip the reproduction of the advertising video 901 at any timing. .

When the operation reception unit 111 receives a user's operation (for example, a tap operation) on the skip button 902, the display control unit 116 ends the reproduction of the advertising video 901 on the game screen, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, an effect 903 is reproduced on the game screen. An effect 903 is an effect indicating the selection result of n characters given to the user. In FIG. 9C, the display control unit 116 reproduces an effect 903 in which n star marks pop out of a box, thereby expressing on the game screen that 11 characters have been selected.

After finishing the reproduction of the effect 903, the display control unit 116 sequentially displays the details of the selected n characters on the game screen one by one, as shown in FIG. 9(D). In FIG. 9D, one selected character 904, name 905, rarity level 906, and OK button 907 are displayed on the game screen. In FIG. 9D, the user is presented with the result of selecting the A-rank character "Tia". The user recognizes that one of the 11 selected characters is "Tia" through the game screen shown in FIG. 9(D). An OK button 907 is a UI component capable of accepting a user's operation for ending the display of details of the selection result of a certain character. When the operation reception unit 111 receives the user's operation on the OK button 907, the display control unit 116 ends the current detailed display, and further displays the details of other characters that have not yet been displayed on the game screen.

In another aspect of the present embodiment, the lottery executing unit 212 responds to the user's operation by selecting a second group of characters, each of which has a selection probability, unlike the first group of characters, which is the group of characters described above. A third selection process is executed to select n characters from a group of characters based on the selection probability, and the selected n characters include k or more characters of A rank or higher. Regardless of whether or not, the selected n characters are given to the user, and the advertisement video is reproduced during the execution of the first selection process and the second selection process, but during the execution of the third selection process Don't play ad videos.

In this example, the second group of characters is a different character group than the first group of characters, but both may be the same character group. For the second group of characters, one of the above-described four types of rarity (S, A, B, and C rare) is set similarly to the first group of characters.

In the third selection process, n characters are selected based on the selection probabilities set for each of the second group of characters. The third selection process is a character selection process in a normal lottery process in which the discharge of k or more characters is not confirmed. In such a lottery process, characters are not drawn again, so it does not take a long time to determine the n characters to be given to the user. Therefore, since it is not necessary to give the user pause by reproducing the advertisement moving image 901, the advertisement moving image 901 is not reproduced during execution of the third selection process. In this manner, the display control unit 116 can appropriately perform control to reproduce or not to reproduce the advertisement moving image 901 according to the type of lottery process.

(Example of presentation of lottery results)
In one aspect of the present embodiment, the user terminal 100 sends the selection result of n selected characters including k or more characters of A rank or higher to the user in order. A process for displaying to a user in a presentation form, wherein k or more characters of A rank or higher are presented in order after characters other than the k or more characters of A rank or higher, and different When a character of A rank or higher whose rarity is set is included in k or more characters of A rank or higher, a process is executed to make the character of A rank or higher whose rarity is set later in the presentation order. . Examples of these presentations are shown in FIG.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a presentation example of lottery results. Here, it is assumed that nine B-rank or C-rank characters, one A-rank character, and one S-rank character are selected. When the server 200 notifies the display control unit 116 of the lottery result, the display control unit 116 sequentially displays the details of the 11 selected characters on the game screen one by one. In the example of FIG. 10, first, a selection result 1001 of "Star", which is a C-rank character, is displayed on the game screen as the result of the lottery for the first character. When the user presses the OK button 907, the display control unit 116 next displays the selection result 1002 of the B-rank character "Cloud" on the game screen as the second selection result. When displaying the lottery results up to n-2, the display control unit 116 displays only the characters of B rank or C rank one by one, but does not display the selection results of characters of A rank or higher. .

When the display control unit 116 finishes displaying the selection result of the n-2th character of B rank or lower, next, as the n-1th selection result, the A-rank character "Tia" is displayed. A selection result 1003 is displayed on the game screen. When the display control unit 116 finishes displaying the selection result of the n-1th A-rank character, the display control unit 116 next displays the selection result 1004 of the S-rank character "Robo" as the n-th selection result. is displayed on the game screen. As described above, the selection results of characters of rank A or higher are presented to the user at the first and second times from the end in the order of presentation of 11 times. At that time, the selection result 1004 of the S-rank character is presented after the selection result 1003 of the A-rank character.

In the example of FIG. 10, when the selection results of 11 characters are presented to the user one by one, two characters of A rank or higher are all of the remaining nine characters of B rank or C rank. presented later than As a result, when the user visually recognizes the presentation of the selection results in order, it is possible to heighten expectations for characters of rank A or higher that will be definitely discharged. Furthermore, since the S-rank character is presented to the user after the A-rank character, it is possible to maximize the user's pleasure in winning the A-rank character. That is, if an A-rank character is presented after an S-rank character is presented, the user who already knows that the S-rank character has won will be very pleased with the winning result of the A-rank character. However, in the example shown in FIG. 10, the selection result 1003 of an A-rank character is presented to the user before the selection result 1004 of an S-rank character is presented to the user. The user can get a sufficiently high pleasure from the result.
