When an area is designated, an uploading means 54 stores the lottery object data created by the user in association with the area where the right to execute lottery processing including the lottery object in a plurality of lottery objects can be obtained.

The positional information acquiring means 55 acquires the positional information of the computer device 2 based on the positional information of the computer device 2 received by the positional information receiving section 29 . The lottery means 51 selects a lottery target associated with an area including the location of the computer device 2 when a predetermined right acquisition operation (for example, an operation to start a lottery processing application or a predetermined operation in the lottery processing application) is performed. To acquire the right to execute the lottery process including After acquiring the right, the lottery means 51 enables execution of lottery processing including the lottery target as one of a plurality of lottery targets regardless of the position of the computer device 2 .

According to this, by executing a predetermined operation in the lottery processing application when the computer device 2 is located at a specific position, the right to execute the lottery process including the lottery target corresponding to the position is granted. be done. Therefore, the user can be motivated to execute the lottery processing application at various places.

In addition, in the mode in which the right of the lottery process can be acquired, among the plurality of lottery targets used in the lottery process executed after the right is acquired, the lottery target other than the user-created lottery target stored in association with the region ( The lottery target group) may be determined in advance before acquiring the right, or may be determined when the lottery process is executed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the combination of a plurality of lottery targets used in performing the lottery process includes an original card created by the user. Alternatively, the user may set a combination of multiple lottery targets (the entire lineup that can be selected) to be used in the lottery process. Below, lottery processing performed by combining a plurality of lottery targets set based on user's operation input may be referred to as my gacha.

In this case, the combination setting means 56 sets the combination of the plurality of lottery targets in the lottery process based on the operation input of the user who operates the computer device 2 . Therefore, the combination setting unit 56 is realized by the control unit 5a in the computer device 2 of the user who creates the lottery target and the control unit 5b in the server device 3. FIG.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a combination creating screen in a modified example of the present embodiment. In this modification, for example, a virtual my gacha creation button (not shown) is provided on the main screen G1 (see FIG. 3) displayed after the lottery processing application is launched. When the my gacha creation button is touch-operated, a combination creation screen G9 is displayed on the monitor 19 of the computer device 2. FIG.

The combination creation screen G9 includes a lottery target setting section G10. The lottery target setting unit G10 is configured to be able to set a plurality of lottery targets that can be selected in My Gacha by user's operation input. In this example, by touching a virtual target setting button B9 provided for each rarity (set probability), a lottery target (card) set to that rarity is selected from predetermined lottery target candidates. It becomes possible. For example, a selection screen (not shown) is displayed on which candidates for the lottery that can be selected separately are displayed. The number of lottery targets set for each rarity can be changed as appropriate.

The lottery probability setting means 53 sets the lottery probability that the lottery object is selected for each of the plurality of lottery objects set on the combination creation screen G9. For example, for the cards C-1 and C-2 set in the SSR frame, the lottery probability corresponding to the rarity SSR is set. The same is true for other rarities.

The lottery probabilities of different lottery targets belonging to the same rarity may be different. At this time, by determining the lottery probability of one lottery object among a plurality of lottery objects belonging to the same rarity, the lottery probability, the lottery probability of the entire rarity, and the lottery object belonging to the same rarity The lottery probability of other lottery targets may be determined from the total number of the lottery. For example, when five (five types) lottery targets with a rarity SSR with an overall rarity probability of 5% are set, if the lottery probability of one lottery target is determined to be 3%, the remaining 4 The draw probabilities of one draw target may be divided equally from the remaining 2% and set to 0.5% each.

The combination creation screen G9 also includes a name input section G11, and the user can input the name of the personal gacha. Furthermore, the combination creation screen G9 includes an appearance effect setting section G12 for setting appearance effect modes when the lottery target is selected. The appearance effect setting section G12 is provided with a virtual effect setting button B10 for setting an appearance effect mode for each rarity (set probability). By touching each effect setting button B10, the appearance effect mode at the corresponding rarity can be selected from the appearance effect candidates.

After the above setting on the combination creation screen G9 is completed, the user touches the virtual decision button B11, and the combination setting means 56 uses in my gacha based on the contents selected or input by the user on the combination creation screen G9. A combination of multiple lottery targets is set.

The upload means 54 uploads the data of the created combination of the plurality of lottery targets to the server device 3 together with the data of the set lottery probability (rarity) and stores them in the storage device 42 . As a result, the storage device 42 stores data about the content of my gacha set based on the user's operation input. As for the data about the content of my gacha, identification data (lottery process ID data) is given to each my gacha, and the ID of my gacha is a combination of multiple lottery targets in the lottery process (ID of each lottery target), lottery probability data ( rarity data), presentation mode data, and identification data of the user who created the data (creator ID data) are associated with each other.

A lottery process to which the lottery process ID data is assigned is registered as an executable lottery process in the lottery process application. The user or another user selects and executes the lottery process (my gacha) in the lottery process application, and based on the combination of multiple lottery targets set based on the user's operation input and the user's operation input Lottery processing is executed using the set lottery probability of each lottery target. The lottery means 51 performs lottery processing for selecting at least one lottery object from a plurality of lottery objects included in a combination set based on user's operation input.

According to such a mode, other users can execute a user-original lottery process (my gacha). That is, by registering my gacha created by a plurality of users, the user can select one from the plurality of registered my gachas and perform the lottery process. This makes it possible to execute a plurality of lottery processes with different lottery probabilities of selecting the lottery object even if the lottery object is the same. Therefore, by allowing the user to create the entire lottery process, it is possible to provide other users with a more original lottery process. Therefore, it is possible to make the user more interested in the execution of the lottery process.

Furthermore, the lottery target candidates that the user can select in creating my gacha may consist only of existing lottery targets (created by the application creator or operator), or an original card created by the user who creates my gacha. It may consist of only or a combination of these. That is, the lottery means 51 may execute a lottery process in which one or more original cards created by one user are included as a plurality of lottery targets.

Lottery target candidates may include original cards created by other users in addition to existing lottery targets and/or original cards of the user who created my gacha. For example, the user who creates my gacha may be able to create my gacha by including the original cards of other users acquired by executing the lottery process so far in the combination of a plurality of lottery targets. Also, for example, original cards created by other users who are registered as friends may be included in a combination of a plurality of lottery targets to create my gacha.

In addition, when existing lottery targets are included in a plurality of lottery targets, as shown in FIG. may be randomly selectable. Further, when setting the lottery probability, the lottery probability (rarity) of some of the lottery targets included in the lottery target candidates may be limited to a predetermined range. For example, the original card may be set to have a lottery probability of rarity SR or higher. Also, for example, a predetermined lottery probability is initially set for an existing lottery target, and if that lottery target is included when creating my gacha, even if a limit is set so that the lottery probability cannot be changed significantly from the initial setting. good. In this case, for example, the lottery probability of the lottery target whose initial setting is the rarity R may be set to the rarities N and R, but not to the rarity SR or SSR.

It should be noted that an area or place where such a my gacha can be performed may be set (region-limited my gacha, store-limited my gacha, etc.). Even in this case, it is possible to adopt any of the aspect of downloading the lottery target group in a specific area and the aspect of acquiring the right to execute the area-limited my gacha in the specific area. Also, my gacha may be set as my gacha limited to friends. In this case, the users who can execute the personal gacha are limited to the user who created the personal gacha and other users registered as friends.

In addition, in the example of FIG. 5, in My Gacha, the user can set the effect mode at the time of selection for each lottery probability or rarity set for the lottery target. Furthermore, a plurality of effects may be set for the same lottery probability or rarity. In that case, the user may be allowed to set the probability of execution of each of the plurality of presentation modes.

Further, the total number of lottery targets to be selected may be predetermined for the created my gacha. In this case, once selected lottery targets are not selected again until reset processing is performed, and the total number of the next lottery targets decreases. Therefore, each time one lottery target is selected, the lottery probability of each of the remaining lottery targets changes. When the reset process is performed, the total number and lottery probability are reset to initial values, and the lottery targets that were selected before the reset process can also be selected. When the lottery is performed a predetermined number of times without the reset process being performed, the lottery target already selected by the user and the lottery target desired by the user may be exchanged.

In addition, the more the number of times the lottery process is continuously executed, the higher (or lower) the lottery probability that a predetermined lottery target or a lottery target group set to a predetermined rarity will be selected for the created my gacha. may change as follows. Alternatively, if the number of times the lottery process is continuously executed exceeds a predetermined number of times, the generated my gacha will be a predetermined lottery target or even if the lottery probability of the lottery target group set to a predetermined rarity changes (for example, high Even if it becomes) good. In addition, when a predetermined condition (the number of lotteries, etc.) is satisfied, a lottery target included in a lottery target group set to a predetermined lottery target or a predetermined rarity level may always be selected for the created my gacha.

In addition, in the lottery process other than friend gacha and friend-limited my gacha, if a lottery target created by another user is selected, the user who acquired the lottery target will be friends with the creator (other user) of the lottery target. It may be possible to apply.

In the above-described embodiment, the drawing elements (original cards) to be created are the main image, the name, the frame corresponding to the rarity degree, and the appearance presentation mode at the time of selection, but are not limited to this. For example, the creation elements to be drawn may include, in addition to or in place of some of these, name font and/or placement, background image, type, status, and the like. Here, the type of the original card may include attributes such as fire and water, or may include categories such as weapons and armor. Also, the status may include, for example, physical strength, attack power, stamina, a value consumed for movement of a predetermined character, and the like.

Also, the main image may be a planar image or a stereoscopic image. For example, in a predetermined game in which a player character is placed in a three-dimensional virtual space, a player character whose face or clothes have been customized by the user may be used as the main image. Alternatively, in a predetermined game in which a monster or the like is raised or a new monster is generated by synthesizing a plurality of monsters or the like, a character (player character or non-player character) such as a raised or synthesized monster or the like is used. You may use it as a main image.

Further, the main image created by the user to be selected by lottery is not limited to the image possessed or photographed by the user as exemplified in the above embodiment, and may be an image obtained from another user.

In addition, the appearance effect mode may be set by the user not only with video, but also with BGM, lines, and the like. Further, as described in the above embodiment, when the appearance effect mode can be selected from among multiple types of candidates, the candidates may be created in advance by the app creator or the app operator, or may be created in advance by the app creator or the app operator. may be created by a user of Alternatively, it may be created by the user himself/herself. For example, the appearance effect mode may be distributed by an application creator or the like through a website or the like. Such an appearance rendering mode may be made available by the user paying a fee or the like. Appearance effect modes obtained from other users may be made unavailable unless the user is registered as a friend.

Further, the appearance effect mode may be included in the lottery target. In this case, after the appearance effect mode is selected by the lottery process, the appearance effect mode can be selected as the appearance effect mode for the original card or my gacha. Also, the appearance effect mode may be attached to the selected lottery target and given to the user who selected the lottery target. For example, when an original card created by one user is selected by another user through a lottery process, the appearance effect mode at the time of selection of the original card can be selected as the appearance effect mode of the original card created by the other user. You can become

Also, the appearance effect mode set by the user may be limited to the case where the corresponding lottery target is selected in a specific lottery process. For example, when an original card created by the user is included in multiple lottery targets in friend gacha and is also included in multiple lottery targets in normal gacha, and the original card is selected in the lottery process in friend gacha Then, the appearance effect is performed in the appearance effect mode set by the user, and when the original card is selected in the lottery process in the normal gacha, it appears in the predetermined appearance effect mode created in advance by the application creator or the application operator. A performance may be performed. Further, for example, when another user who has registered as a friend the user who created the original card and the original gacha selects the corresponding lottery target, even if the appearance effect is performed in the appearance effect mode set by the user. good.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an aspect in which the frame and the rarity (lottery probability) are related was exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the lottery probability or rarity may be set independently of the lottery target creation element, or may be set in relation to a background image or the like.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the lottery processing application was exemplified as an independent application, but may be configured as an SNS application or the like attached to a specific SNS or the like, for example. When the lottery processing application is configured as an SNS application, the lottery processing may be executed on the SNS, for example. Furthermore, the information of the lottery target selected by the lottery process may be shared (uploaded on the SNS) with other users through the SNS.

Further, when the lottery processing application is configured as an SNS application, the virtual coins required for executing the lottery processing may be points set in the SNS. When uploading to the SNS that a lottery target with a predetermined rarity or higher is selected, virtual coins may be given to the uploading user. Also, when uploading to the SNS that a user-created lottery target has been selected, virtual coins may be given to the user and/or the user who created the lottery target. Alternatively, when a user-created lottery object has been selected and uploaded to the SNS, virtual coins may be paid from the user who created the lottery object to the user who uploaded the lottery object.

Regardless of whether the lottery processing application is configured as an SNS application, the virtual coin may be a virtual coin dedicated to the lottery processing application. Virtual coins may be given by charging. Also, virtual coins may be given as a login bonus by logging into a lottery processing application or SNS at predetermined intervals (for example, one day). Also, virtual coins may be awarded by performing a selection operation on the banner advertisement G8 displayed on the main screen G1.

A plurality of lottery targets owned by the user may be combined in a predetermined combination. For example, if the user owns a plurality of mutually identical lottery targets with a predetermined rarity (rarity less than or equal to a predetermined rarity), a predetermined number of lottery targets can be combined to obtain higher rarity ) can be changed to a lottery target. The lottery target obtained by synthesis differs from the original lottery target in main image, rarity, and the like.

When the lottery processing application is configured as an SNS application, virtual coins may be awarded by uploading to the SNS a lottery target with a higher rarity obtained by synthesis.

The lottery targets that can be combined may include lottery targets created by the user. In addition, a lottery target that can be combined may include a coupon created by a company or the like. By collecting and synthesizing a plurality of coupons, it is possible to obtain a coupon for a higher-ranking product provided by the company or the like.

In the above-described embodiment, the lottery probability of the lottery target created by the user is set by the user when the selection target is created. good too. For example, the lottery probability setting unit 53 may perform predetermined image processing on the main image to be selected created by the user, and set the lottery probability based on the result. For example, the higher the number of colors in the main image, the lower the probability.

Further, the lottery probability of the selection target may be changeable even after uploading to the server device 3 . For example, the winning probability of a given rarity may be increased for a given period of time. The predetermined period may be set by the operator of the lottery processing application or the like, or may be set by the user who created the lottery target. When a predetermined period is set, a notice to that effect is given on the lottery processing application. Alternatively, if the lottery processing application is configured as an SNS application, the notification may be made on the SNS.

At least one of the plurality of lottery targets in the lottery process may include a predetermined advertisement display. In this case, the lottery means 51 displays the advertisement display when the advertisement display is selected in the lottery process. Advertisement displays can be created by users who are store owners or businesses. According to this, the advertisement display created by the user can be displayed on the computer devices 2 of an unspecified number of other users who want to win the lottery target. Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly effective advertisement display mode to a user who desires an advertisement.

Advertisement display time (playback time of advertisement video, etc.) may be longer for advertisement display with a higher lottery probability (advertisement display for failure). Alternatively, the advertisement display with a high lottery probability (losing advertisement display) may include a questionnaire. There may be benefits such as obtaining virtual coins by answering this questionnaire.

A plurality of lottery targets in the lottery process may include coupons of companies and the like and lottery targets created by individual users. In this case, an identification sign may be displayed on the lottery target to distinguish between the company and the individual user.

Moreover, in the above-described embodiment, the computer system 1 operates by a so-called native application, but instead of this, the computer system 1 may operate by a web application. That is, the lottery target creation process and the lottery process may be performed on the server device 3 . For example, when creating a lottery target, the computer device 2 transmits a command signal indicating selection of a main image, etc. to the server device 3 based on the user's operation input, and the server device 3 You may create a lottery object.

In the above embodiment, the computer device 2 is assumed to be a portable information terminal such as a smart phone or a tablet PC, or a portable game device. The present invention can also be suitably applied to computer devices such as game devices and personal computers.

The computer device 2 may also include a disk drive, memory card slot, HDD, or the like. In a computer device equipped with a disk drive, the computer device 2 may acquire application programs and application data by loading a disk-type storage medium such as a DVD-ROM into the disk drive. Also, in a computer device having a memory card slot, by loading a card-type storage medium, save data may be stored in the card-type storage medium.

Even when these other embodiments are employed, the effects of the present invention are exhibited. Further, it is also possible to appropriately combine this embodiment with other embodiments, and other embodiments with each other.
