  In such a game, the user does not have to immediately acquire the character as a reward, and may be able to hold the acquisition. In this case, when the user performs an operation to acquire the reserved character, the user can possess that character. And, by possessing the character acquired in this way, the user can perform disposal such as selling the character or converting it into a synthetic material.

  However, even if it is desired to dispose before holding a reserved character, the user is forced to perform complicated operations because the user must carry out the acquisition operation and possess the character once.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily dispose of a reserved character.

The main invention of the present invention for solving the above problems is
A user information storage unit that sets a character acquired by a user as a possessed character and stores user information in which acquireable characters held without being acquired by the user are set as a reserved character in association with each user;
An acquisition unit that causes the user to acquire the reserved character by canceling the setting as the reserved character and setting the user information as the possessed character when the user performs an operation to request acquisition of the reserved character;
It is a disposal unit that performs disposal of the possessed character by canceling the setting as possessed character in the user information when the user performs an operation requesting disposal of the possessed character, and the user requests disposal of the reserved character.

Thus, if the user's possessed characters reach the upper limit number, the user can not possess any more characters. In this case, even if the user performs an acquisition operation, the user can not possess the reserved character, and the user can not dispose of the reserved character. On the other hand, according to such an information processing apparatus, even if the user's possessed character reaches the upper limit number, it is possible to dispose of the reserved character without holding it.

Further, it is preferable that the game processing unit includes a substitute for a character other than the character given to the user by the disposal unit having disposed the possessed character or the reserved character.
As a result, since the user need not newly possess another character depending on the disposition of the possessed character or the reserved character, the possessed character and the reserved character can be disposed of without hesitation, regardless of the number of possessed characters.

And a game progress unit that executes trade processing for exchanging characters among users.
When the user performs an operation requesting trade of a reserved character, the disposal unit disposes the reserved character by canceling the setting as the reserved character in the user information without causing the user to acquire the reserved character once. It is desirable to
As a result, the user can dispose of the reserved character without holding it, by making his reserved character a trade target.

In addition, it is desirable that the user has a notification unit that notifies that the reserved character of the user is a character that another user desires to obtain in a trade.
This allows the user to easily dispose of his reserved character by giving it over to others.

In addition, it is desirable that the acquisition unit restricts the user not to acquire the reserved character after a predetermined period of time has elapsed.
As a result, the user can acquire or dispose of the reserved character within a predetermined period, and the user can actively play the game.

Also, the computer

  Next, the game progress unit 201 of the server device 20 receives the operation content from the client terminal 10, and determines whether or not the user has received a game operation requesting the sale of the reserved character (step S16).

  As a result of the determination, when the game operation requesting the sale of the reserved character is not received from the user (step S16: NO), the process proceeds to step S18 described later. On the other hand, when the game operation requesting the sale of the reserved character is received from the user (step S16: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S17.

  Next, when the game progress unit 201 of the server device 20 receives a game operation requesting the sale of the reserved character from the user, the game progress unit 201 executes a sale process for selling the reserved character and acquiring coins ( Step S17).

  Specifically, when the sale button 554 is selected by the user on the received mail screen 550 shown in FIG. 10, the game progress unit 201 of the server device 20 displays a character sale screen for selling the reserved character. It requests the display control unit 205 to execute screen display control so that the client terminal 10 can display the image. When the display control unit 205 of the server device 20 is requested to execute the screen display control from the game progress unit 201, the display control unit 205 displays the character sale screen in which the reserved character is displayed for sale on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10. Control to

  When the character sale screen is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10, the user performs an operation on the client terminal 10 to determine the sale of the reserved character. When the user performs an operation to determine the sale of the reserved character, the operation accepting unit 150 of the client terminal 10 receives the operation content based on the determination of the sale of the reserved character by the user. Then, the request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 makes a request to the server device 20 based on the operation content received from the user by the operation reception unit 150.

  When receiving the operation content from the client terminal 10, the game progress unit 201 of the server device 20 sells the reserved character. At this time, the game progress unit 201 of the server device 20 requests the disposal unit 203 to perform processing for releasing the reserved character by sale. When the disposal unit 203 of the server device 20 receives the request from the game progress unit 201, the disposal unit 203 disposes the reserved character to be sold.

  The disposal unit 203 in the present embodiment refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and identifies the user information of the user. Then, the disposal unit 203 suspends the specified user information without setting the reserved character for the specified user information as a possessed character (without causing the user to acquire the reserved character once). By canceling the setting as a character, the disposition of the reserved character is performed at the sale.

  The game progress unit 201 in the present embodiment updates the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and sells the reserved character, thereby adding a predetermined amount of coins to the owned coin of the user. In this manner, the game progress unit 201 causes the user to acquire "coin" which is a substitute other than the character by selling the reserved character.

  As a result, since a new character is not obtained as a substitute in place of the sale, even if the user's possessed character reaches the upper limit number, the reserved character can be disposed of by sale without hesitation.

  Next, the game progress unit 201 of the server device 20 receives the operation content from the client terminal 10, and determines whether or not the user has received a game operation for requesting use of the reserved character in the reinforced composition (step S18).

  As a result of the determination, if the user does not receive a game operation requesting use of the reserved character in the reinforced composition (step S18: NO), the process proceeds to step S20 described later. On the other hand, if the user has received a game operation requesting use of the reserved character in the reinforced composition (step S18: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S19.

  Next, when the game progress unit 201 of the server device 20 receives from the user a game operation requesting use of the reserved character in the reinforced composition, the game processing unit 201 executes the composition process of the reinforced composition using the reserved character as the composite material.

When the disposal unit 203 of the server device 20 receives the request from the game progress unit 201, the disposal unit 203 executes disposal of the reserved character to be a synthetic material by the reinforcement composition.

  The disposal unit 203 in the present embodiment refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and identifies the user information of the user. Then, the disposal unit 203 suspends the specified user information without setting the reserved character for the specified user information as a possessed character (without causing the user to acquire the reserved character once). By canceling the setting as a character, the reserved character that is a synthetic material in the reinforced composition is disposed of.

  The game progress unit 201 in the present embodiment updates the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222, and uses the reserved character as the material of the reinforcement composition, whereby the ability parameter and the like of the designated base character are stored. Raise it. As described above, the game progress unit 201 causes the user to acquire the “base character parameter” which is an alternative other than the character by performing the reinforcement composition using the reserved character.

  As a result, since a new character is not acquired as a substitute in place of the reinforced composition, even if the user's possessed character reaches the upper limit number, the reserved character can be disposed of by the enhanced composition without hesitation .

  Next, the game progress unit 201 of the server device 20 receives the operation content from the client terminal 10, and determines whether or not the game operation for requesting the trade of the reserved character is received from the user (step S20).

  As a result of the determination, when the game operation for requesting the trade of the reserved character is not received from the user (step S20: NO), this process is ended. On the other hand, if a game operation requesting trade of a reserved character is received from the user (step S20: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S21.

  Next, the game progress part 201 of the server apparatus 20 performs the trade process which uses the reserved character for a trade, when game operation which requests | requires the trade of a reserved character from a user is received (step S21).
