As shown in FIG. 2 , functional modules executed by the CPU of the control device 11 include a right holder determination information receiving section 101 , a device information registration section (tangible object information registration section) 102 , and a privilege determination section 103 .

Further, the external storage device 12 has a device management information storage unit (tangible object management information storage unit) 104 mounted therein. The device management information storage unit 104 records the device code (unique information) of the NFC-equipped device 30, the user account of the person who has the right to use the device, the number of times the device has been used, the date and time when the device was last used, and the like. ing.

The user terminal 20 is a terminal for a player (user) to cooperate with the game server 10 to play a game. The user terminal 20 is a terminal capable of communicating with the game server 10 via a communication network, such as a smart phone, mobile phone, tablet terminal, notebook PC (personal computer), personal digital assistant (PDA), or wearable device.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the user terminal 20. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the user terminal 20 includes a processor 21, an input device 22 such as a keyboard, a mouse, various operation buttons and a touch panel, a display device 23 such as a liquid crystal display, a communication interface 24 for connecting to a communication network, a disk It has a storage resource 25 such as a drive or semiconductor memory (ROM, RAM, etc.).

The functional modules of the dedicated application executed by the processor 21 include a device code acquisition unit 201 , a right holder determination information transmission unit 202 , and a usability determination unit 203 .

The NFC-equipped device 30 is a character figure, medal, card, or the like having a function of exchanging data with the user terminal 20 via NFC. A unique device code is assigned to the NFC-equipped device 30 . The device code includes an ID that identifies the game and an ID unique to the device. Device-specific IDs are encrypted. For example, the device unique ID may be encrypted using a specific private key. By doing so, the uniqueness of the device-specific ID assigned to the NFC-equipped device 30 is guaranteed, and the device code of the NFC-equipped device 30 can be prevented from being forged. In this way, by ensuring the uniqueness of the device-specific ID assigned to the NFC-equipped device 30, the NFC-registered device 30 can be registered without previously registering the issued device-specific ID in the game server 10. Authentication becomes possible.
Note that the NFC-equipped device 30 can be purchased by the player through a store or the game system 1 .

Next, the flow of the game by the game system 1 will be explained. FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the flow of the game by the game system 1. As shown in FIG. In this embodiment, an example will be described in which a player obtains a privilege by performing a lottery (Gacha) on a game screen. The benefits are items, game points, etc. that can be used in the game, and are mainly used to advance the development of the game in an advantageous manner. The player can perform one lottery by reading the device code of the NFC-equipped device 30 with the user terminal 20 .

The player operates the user terminal 20 to activate the application of the game system 1 and, for example, holds the user terminal 20 over the NFC-equipped device 30 owned by the player. The user terminal 20 acquires various information from the NFC-equipped device 30 via NFC. The user terminal 20 first determines whether or not the NFC-equipped device 30 satisfies the standards (communication standards, data format, etc.) that can be used in the game system 1 . Also, the ID for identifying the game included in the device code is checked for correctness or incorrectness (step S101).

If it is determined in step S101 that the NFC-equipped device 30 satisfies the standard and that the ID for identifying the game is correct (YES), the NFC-equipped device 30 is transmitted from the user terminal 20 to the game server 10. and the player's user account are transmitted (step S102). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S101 that the NFC-equipped device 30 does not meet the standard, or if it is determined that the ID for identifying the game is not correct (NO), transmission to the game server 10 is not performed. First, a message or the like indicating that the NFC-equipped device 30 cannot be used is output to the display device 23 of the user terminal 20, and the process ends.
The game server 10 determines the device code received from the user terminal 20 (step S103). Specifically, it is determined whether the device code is of the correct standard or whether the ID for identifying the game is legitimate. If it is determined that the device code is legitimate (YES), the process proceeds to step S104. On the other hand, if it is determined that the device code is not authorized (NO), the process proceeds to step S105 and notifies the user terminal 20 that the NFC-equipped device 30 is illegal and cannot be used. For example, the display device 23 of the user terminal 20 may display a message such as "The code could not be read."

The game server 10 determines whether or not the device code received from the user terminal 20 is registered in the device management information storage unit 104 (step S104). If the device code is not registered (NO), the game server 10 registers the device code in the device management information storage unit 104 (step S106).

In addition, the game server 10 registers the received user account in the user account of the person authorized to use the NFC-equipped device 30 (step S107).

Next, the game server 10 performs a process of determining a privilege given to the player when using the NFC-equipped device 30 for the first time (step S108). The privilege is determined by lottery, for example, as described later. Also, "1" is registered as the number of times of use registered in the device management information storage unit 104, and the current date and time is registered as the date and time of last use.

On the other hand, in step S104, if the device code has already been registered (YES), the game server 10 determines that the received user account matches the registered user account of the person authorized to use the NFC-equipped device 30. It is determined whether or not to do so (step S1009).

If it is determined in step S109 that the received user account belongs to the licensee (YES), the game server 10 registers the current date and time of the last use registered in the device management information storage unit 104. date and time information, it is determined whether or not the frequency of use of the NFC-equipped device 30 satisfies a predetermined frequency of use (step S110). For example, if the second and subsequent uses are limited to once a day, if the date of the registered date and time matches the current date, it is determined that it cannot be used, and if it is any other date can be used for If the game server 10 determines that it can be used, the process proceeds to step S111, and if it determines that it cannot be used, the game server 10 instructs the user terminal 20 to use the NFC-equipped device 30 because it does not meet the usage frequency condition. A notification to the effect that it is not possible is made (step S113). For example, the display device 23 of the user terminal 20 may display a message such as "Already used today. See you tomorrow."
In step S<b>111 , the game server 10 performs processing for determining a privilege to be given to the player when the NFC-equipped device 30 is used for the second time or later. The privilege is determined by lottery, for example, as described later. Also, the number of times of use registered in the device management information storage unit 104 is incremented by one. For example, if the current number of times of use is "1", it is updated to "2" and the current date and time is registered as the date and time of last use.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S109 that the received user account does not belong to the right holder (NO), the user terminal 20 is notified that the NFC-equipped device 30 cannot be used because it is not the right holder. (step S112). At this time, the user terminal 20 may be notified of the information (user name, etc.) of the rightful owner of the NFC-equipped device 30 . For example, the display device 23 of the user terminal 20 may display a message such as "This is Mr. XX's device."

Regarding the method of determining the benefits, when determining the benefits for the first use, for example, the probability of winning a jackpot benefit (type 1 benefit) by lottery is 100%, and the benefits for the second and subsequent uses are determined. In that case, the probability of winning a jackpot privilege may be set to 20%, and the probability of winning a normal privilege (second type privilege) may be set to 80%. The first type privilege has a lower probability of being obtained by lottery than the second type privilege (the first type privilege is more valuable than the second type privilege). Also, the price for obtaining the type 1 privilege is set higher than that for the type 2 privilege. For example, the first type of privilege is an item for obtaining a game character, and the second type of privilege is points consumed in the game. For example, an item for obtaining a game character may be awarded at the first use, and points may be awarded from the second time onward. In addition, the privilege is not limited to the two types of the jackpot privilege and the normal privilege. Also, the benefits corresponding to the jackpot benefits and the normal benefits each include a plurality of types of benefits.

In addition, when the game is used for the second time or later, the probability of winning the bonus of the jackpot may be lowered step by step according to the number of times of use. Alternatively, a privilege determined in advance according to the type of the NFC-equipped device 30 may be given instead of performing a lottery for the first-time use privilege.

The game server 10 performs a lottery with a probability corresponding to the number of times the NFC-equipped device 30 is used, and when determining the content of the privilege to be given to the player, transmits the information of the privilege determined by the lottery to the user terminal 20 (step S114). ).

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the game server 10 manages the device code of the NFC-equipped device 30 by associating it with the user account of the authorized user. 30 was made unusable. Furthermore, since the benefits given in the game are changed depending on whether the NFC-equipped device 30 is used for the first time or for the second and subsequent times, the rightful owner of the NFC-equipped device 30 can use the NFC-equipped device 30 You can enjoy the game repeatedly using

In addition, before transmitting the device code and user account to the game server 10, the user terminal 20 determines whether the NFC-equipped device 30 satisfies a predetermined standard. It is possible to avoid performing unnecessary determination processing for the NFC-equipped device 30 that does not satisfy

In addition, when the NFC-equipped device 30 is used for the first time, the probability of winning the jackpot privilege is set higher than when the NFC-equipped device 30 is used for the second and subsequent times, so it is more valuable to purchase a new device. It is possible to provide the enjoyment of the second and subsequent use while maintaining the advantage of receiving the privilege.

Also, when the NFC-equipped device 30 is used for the second time or later, the benefit may be given only when the frequency of use satisfies a predetermined condition. The usage frequency is determined based on the date and time when the NFC-equipped device 30 was last used and the current date and time (the date and time when the NFC-equipped device 30 is about to be used), and a predetermined period has passed since the last usage date and time. may be permitted under the condition that For example, the condition may be that a predetermined number of days have passed since the date of the last use, or that a predetermined amount of time has passed since the date and time of the last use. For example, from the second time onwards, it can only be used once a day (provided that one day or more has passed since the last used date), and once used, it cannot be used for 24 hours (last used date and time) 24 hours or more must have passed since the start).

Also, in the present embodiment, the NFC-equipped device 30 is taken as an example, but a device, printed matter, or the like that does not have an NFC function may be used. For example, the device code may be attached in the form of a bar code or two-dimensional code. In this case, the code information may be read by the user terminal 20 and transmitted to the game server 10 .

Although the present invention is applied to the game system in this embodiment, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this. For example, it is applied to SNS (social networking service), digital content provision service, video distribution service, music distribution service, etc., and legitimate right holders can repeatedly obtain benefits (points, contents such as videos and music, etc.) can be made available.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. Therefore, the above-described embodiment is merely an example in all respects, and should not be construed as limiting. For example, the processing steps described above can be arbitrarily changed in order or executed in parallel as long as there is no contradiction in the processing contents. Also, other steps may be added between each processing step. Further, a step described as one step may be divided into a plurality of steps and executed, and a step described as being divided into a plurality of steps may be grasped as one step.
