In a battle game distributed by information processing device 1, the user collects cards to build a deck, selects a card in that deck, and fights with an opponent (hereinafter referred to as a battle), or a task (quest). And missions). The name and image of the game medium that can be used in battles and tasks are drawn on the card, and special abilities (hereinafter referred to as abilities) are defined for each game medium. Here, the game medium is a general term for electronic data that can be acquired, owned, used, managed, exchanged, synthesized, strengthened, sold, discarded, and / or donated by a player in the game according to the progress of the game. is there. The game medium can be, for example, an in-game card, character, avatar, weapon, armor, item, etc., and will be described below as being mainly a character in the present specification, but the usage mode of the game medium is described below. It is not limited to what is specified herein. In addition, the game medium includes combat power such as attack power and defense power of the game medium, combat means such as attack means and defense means of the game medium, ability and skill information of the game medium, information on avatar of the game medium, and game medium. It has various parameter information such as attributes and an index indicating the rarity of the game medium, which will be described later.

(Overall system configuration)
The information processing device 1 includes a server communication unit 10, a storage unit 11, a server control unit 15, a lottery unit 31, a terminal display control unit 32, and a game medium use environment providing unit 33.

The server communication unit 10 communicates with the communication terminal 2. In the present embodiment, the server communication unit 10 communicates wirelessly with the communication terminal 2, but may communicate by wire. Further, the server communication unit 10 may be able to use or select both wireless communication and wired communication.

The storage unit 11 stores the game medium data 111 and the user data 112. In the present embodiment, each data is stored in the storage unit 11 in a table format, and details will be described later.

The server control unit 15 controls various operations of the information processing device 1 and the progress of the entire game. The server control unit 15 determines, for example, the opponent in the battle, the content of the task to be challenged by the user, and the like, and transmits an instruction to display various game screens to the communication terminal 2 via the server communication unit 10. Further, the server control unit 15 controls the lottery unit 31, the terminal display control unit 32, and the game media use environment providing unit 33 for the appropriate progress of the game, and the game media use environment providing unit 33 receives the user data 112. Perform management (for example, updating the value).

The lottery unit 31 selects a game medium from a plurality of game media by lottery when a user requests to execute the lottery. The plurality of game media may be composed of different types. In the present embodiment, the lottery unit 31 selects one game medium at a time, but a plurality of game media may be selected. Further, the game medium selected by the lottery unit 31 as the game medium to be given to the user (hereinafter, also referred to as the winning game medium) is owned by performing an operation input for the user to select to own. That is, in order for the user to own the winning game medium, it is necessary that the game medium is not only selected by lottery but also owned by the user. Here, as an example of the operation input for selecting to own, there is a selection operation for selecting to purchase. Purchasing means paying in-game currency, points, tickets, etc. as consideration for acquiring the winning game media. In the following, a case where the user owns the game medium by purchase will be described as an example, but the user may own the game medium by acquisition free of charge instead of purchase. The lottery unit 31 may randomly select at least one game medium to be given to the user from a plurality of game media each time the user requests the lottery execution. Further, as another lottery method, the order of discharge (selection) is set in advance, and when the user requests the lottery execution, the lottery unit 31 may discharge the items according to the set order. .. The winning game medium corresponds to the "at least one game medium" of the present invention.

In the present embodiment, the lottery unit 31 draws a lot according to the probability according to the rarity of the game medium. Rarity is, for example, a numerical value representing the rarity (rareness, value in the game) of a game medium, and the higher the rarity (the larger the numerical value), the more rare the game medium is. For example, the lottery unit 31 may select a game medium having a rarity of 1 with a probability of 10% and a game medium having a rarity of 5 with a probability of 0.01%. At this time, in order to obtain a game medium having high rarity, the user continues to request the lottery execution, which leads to prevention of a decrease in motivation to continue the game. The lottery unit 31 can acquire rarity information from the game media data 111 stored in the storage unit 11. Further, the rarity may be distinguished by an index (hierarchy) such as normal, rare, super rare, and ultra rare so that the user can easily grasp the value in the game.

Here, as another embodiment, the lottery unit 31 may perform a lottery to prevent the once won game media from being selected in duplicate. The lottery unit 31 provides, for example, a group (set) of game media that can be selected by lottery, and removes the winning game media from the group of game media, so that the game media once won are selected in duplicate. Can be avoided. At this time, since the number of lottery targets decreases as the lottery is performed, if the game medium desired by the user remains in the lottery target, the winning probability of the game medium increases. Therefore, the user's request for lottery execution can be easily continued, and further, the motivation to continue the game can be prevented from decreasing.

The terminal display control unit 32 causes the communication terminal 2 to display a screen related to the lottery executed by the lottery unit 31 via the server control unit 15 and the server communication unit 10. As will be described later, the terminal display control unit 32 causes the communication terminal 2 to display, for example, a lottery top screen, a lottery result screen, a purchase confirmation screen, a demo battle screen, and the like. The terminal display control unit 32 may display a screen not related to the lottery on the communication terminal 2 under the control of the server control unit 15.

The game medium use environment providing unit 33 provides an environment in which the user can use the winning game medium (hereinafter referred to as a game medium use environment), and manages the user data 112 stored in the storage unit 11. In the present embodiment, the game medium usage environment is provided as one event (demo battle described later). Further, in another embodiment, the game medium usage environment may be a battle game itself provided with a predetermined period (trial period). At this time, the game medium use environment providing unit 33 also sets the opponent and the conditions (for example, the level of the opponent, whether it is a single battle or a group battle, etc.) against which the user competes. By providing the game media usage environment by the game media usage environment providing unit 33, the user can fully understand the effects, functions, and strengths of the game media in the game. In this embodiment, the user can know the effect, function, and strength of the winning game medium before deciding whether or not he / she wants to own it, including the abilities described later.

Here, all or part of the lottery unit 31, the terminal display control unit 32, and the game medium use environment providing unit 33 may be merged into one block. On the contrary, blocks may be further divided for all or a part of the lottery unit 31, the terminal display control unit 32, and the game medium use environment providing unit 33. Further, the information processing device 1 is a computer that operates according to a program stored in the storage unit 11, and all or a part of the lottery unit 31, the terminal display control unit 32, and the game medium use environment providing unit 33 is software. It may be realized. For example, the program stored in the storage unit 11 may cause the computer to function as the lottery unit 31, the terminal display control unit 32, and the game medium use environment providing unit 33.

The communication terminal 2 includes a terminal communication unit 20, a display unit 21, an operation unit 22, and a terminal control unit 24.

The operation unit 22 accepts user operations performed in connection with games, events, and lottery. Then, the operation unit 22 passes the input signal corresponding to the received user operation to the terminal control unit 24. An arbitrary input interface such as a button or a touch panel can be adopted for the operation unit 22. Hereinafter, the operation unit 22 will be described as being a touch panel.

The terminal control unit 24 controls various operations of the communication terminal 2. Further, the terminal control unit 24 acquires an input signal corresponding to the user operation received on various screens displayed on the display unit 21 from the operation unit 22. Then, the terminal control unit 24 transmits the acquired input signal to the information processing device 1 via the terminal communication unit 20.

(Game media data)
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of game medium data 111 stored in the storage unit 11. In the game medium data 111, the "game medium name" (for example, the game medium A) is distinguished by adding a uniquely identifiable identifier ("game medium identifier", for example, ITM001). Then, the parameters of "game media image", "classification", "ability", and "rareity" are managed in a table in association with the game media identifier. Further, the parameters are not limited to those shown in FIG. 2, and may further include information such as "popularity" determined based on the probability of purchase, or conversely, even if some parameters are omitted. Good. The game medium data 111 may be immutable, but may be updated by the server control unit 15 when, for example, the game medium is increased or decreased.

In the present embodiment, the "game medium identifier" is a combination of the characters "ITM" and a three-digit number, but the present invention is not limited to this. "Game medium name" is the name of the game medium. Duplicates are allowed as long as they can be distinguished by the game media identifier. A "game medium image" is an image of an image in a game of game media. The degree of decoration of the game medium image changes according to the rarity. For example, the higher the rarity, the more luxurious the decoration of the character included in the image and the background image of the character.

The "category" indicates the category of the game medium, and in this embodiment, the "character" that fights as an ally, the "weapon" that the ally character uses for the attack, and the ally character are protected from the attack of the opponent. There are, but are not limited to, "armor", such as "items" such as decorations and food, and "cards" for building decks.

As mentioned above, an "ability" is a special ability possessed by the game medium. In this embodiment, the abilities include, for example, a command ability that can advance the battle advantageously, a passive ability that has the effect of increasing the equipment suitability and the status of the ally character, and a dungeon ability that can advance the dungeon capture advantageously. Including and further subdivided. The game medium may or may not have one or more abilities. Also, abilities may be acquired according to the level. In this embodiment, the subdivided abilities are indicated by the alphabets a to h, and the number of levels that can be acquired is added as a subscript.

As described above, "rareity" represents the rarity (rareness) of the game medium numerically, and the higher the rarity (the larger the numerical value), the more rare the game medium is. In this embodiment, the rarity of the game medium is ranked from 1 to 5. The lottery unit 31 acquires the rarity information of the game medium data 111, and performs a lottery so that the higher the rarity of the game medium, the smaller the winning probability.

For example, assuming that the game medium A in FIG. 2 is a “night” (see FIG. 4B), each parameter of the game medium data 111 will be described. An image of "night" (see FIG. 4B) is stored in the storage unit 11 as a game medium A image, and the division is a "character" that acts as an ally and performs a battle. "Night" has the abilities "a2", "b3", and "d1" (see FIG. 5B), and its rarity is "5". Here, if the ability is explained in detail, "d" can be learned from the beginning (level 1), "a" can be learned from level 2, and "b" can be learned from level 3. Rather than having all the abilities from the beginning, it is possible to motivate the user to proceed with the game by setting a level that can be learned for each ability.

(User data)
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of user data 112 stored in the storage unit 11. In the user data 112, the user of the communication terminal 2 is distinguished by a uniquely identifiable identifier (“user identifier”, for example, UID001). Then, in association with the user identifier, the parameters of "winning game medium", "elapsed time after discharge", "remaining lottery time", "purchased game medium", and "number of demo battles" are managed in a table. Further, the parameters are not limited to those shown in FIG. 3, and may further include, for example, information on the level of the game medium owned by the user, or conversely, some parameters may be omitted. The user data 112 is mainly managed by the game media usage environment providing unit 33.

The "user identifier" is a combination of the characters "UID" and a three-digit number in the present embodiment, but is not limited thereto. For example, if the user can be uniquely identified, the name may be arbitrarily set by the user.

The "winning game medium" is a game medium name representing the game medium discharged by the user by the lottery of the lottery unit 31. The game media identifier shown in FIG. 2 may be used instead of the game media name.

The "elapsed time after discharge" is the elapsed time after the current game medium is discharged, that is, after the lottery unit 31 draws the last lottery. The elapsed time after discharge is used, for example, by the game media use environment providing unit 33 to determine whether or not the purchase deadline of the winning game media has passed.

The “remaining lottery time” indicates the remaining time that the user can make a trial lottery in the present embodiment. The trial lottery differs from the normal lottery in that the user is provided with an environment in which the game medium can be used before the user selects whether or not to own the game medium. In the present embodiment, the trial lottery is possible for a certain period (for example, 8 days) from the user registration, but after that, only the normal lottery is possible. The remaining lottery time is used, for example, by the terminal display control unit 32 to determine whether or not the user cannot select the trial lottery on the lottery top screen described later. In addition, when it is simply described as a lottery in the following description, the lottery means a trial lottery.

The “purchased game medium” is a game medium that has been purchased by the user, that is, the game medium owned by the user by performing an operation input for selecting to own the game medium. When the game medium use environment providing unit 33 receives an operation input for selecting to own the winning game medium from the communication terminal 2, the user identifier and the winning game medium are stored in association with each other. That is, the game media use environment providing unit 33 updates the user data 112 so that the winning game media is added as the purchased game media. The "number of demo battles" indicates the number of demo battles performed by the user using the winning game medium. Details of the demo battle will be described later.

In the example of FIG. 3, the user whose user identifier is UID002 has won the game medium B by lottery, and 14 hours have passed since the game medium B was discharged. In addition, the user can execute the trial lottery for the remaining 160 hours and 50 minutes. The user has already purchased the game media "C" and "E", and has also executed the demo battle three times for the winning game medium B. On the other hand, the user whose user identifier is UID005 is immediately after the user registration. The user can execute the trial lottery for the remaining 190 hours and 10 minutes. However, the user has not yet requested a lottery run and the other parameters remain blank.

(Screen related to lottery)
The terminal display control unit 32 causes the communication terminal 2 to display the lottery top screen, the lottery result screen, the purchase confirmation screen, and the demo battle screen in connection with the lottery of the lottery unit 31. Examples of these screens will be described below with reference to the drawings. The terminal display control unit 32 further communicates a screen notifying that the user has purchased the winning game medium (purchase notification) and a screen notifying that the winning game medium is being used during the trial period (trial notification). It may be displayed on the terminal 2.

FIG. 4A is a diagram showing an example of a lottery top screen displayed on the display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2. The display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2 is a touch panel and also functions as an operation unit 22. As shown in FIG. 4A, the lottery top screen includes a title portion 24A in which "lottery top" is written in the center of the upper part. Further, the lottery top screen includes a tab 24B for selecting a "normal lottery" and a tab 24C for selecting a "trial lottery". In the present embodiment, after a certain period of time (for example, 8 days) has elapsed from the user registration, the tab 24C is deleted and the trial lottery cannot be selected.

In the example of FIG. 4A, it is explained that it can be executed up to 3 times a day in conjunction with the selected tab 24C, and that the lottery deadline is XX year △△ month □□ day. The explanation unit 24D of the "trial lottery" is displayed. The explanation unit 24D includes a caution button 24E for displaying detailed cautions about the "trial lottery" and a lottery start button 24F for requesting the execution of the "trial lottery". When the user presses the caution button 24E, detailed cautions about the "trial lottery" are displayed. Further, when the user presses the lottery start button 24F, the request for execution of the lottery is transmitted to the information processing device 1.

FIG. 4B is a diagram showing an example of a lottery result screen. As shown in FIG. 4B, the lottery result screen includes a title portion 25A in which "lottery result" is written in the upper center. In addition, the lottery result screen includes a lottery result explanation unit 25B for explaining the lottery result. In the example of FIG. 4B, the lottery result explanation unit 25B describes that the game medium discharged by the lottery, that is, the winning game medium is "night", and the purchase deadline is 72 hours remaining. Has been done. The lottery result screen also includes an image 25C in which the winning game medium is "night".

FIG. 5A is a diagram showing an example of a purchase confirmation screen. As shown in FIG. 5A, the purchase confirmation screen includes a title portion 27A with "purchase confirmation" written in the center of the upper part. Further, the purchase confirmation screen includes a game medium explanation unit 27B and a purchase display unit 27C. The game medium explanation unit 27B includes a demo battle execution button 27F for requesting execution of the demo battle, as well as an explanation that the winning game medium is "night". When the user presses the demo battle execution button 27F, the request for execution of the demo battle is transmitted to the information processing device 1. Further, the purchase display unit 27C includes a discharge unit, that is, a purchase button 27D for purchasing the winning game medium, and a cancel button 27E for canceling the purchase. The user can purchase the winning game medium by pressing the purchase button 27D. In addition, the user cancels the purchase of the winning game medium by pressing the cancel button 27E.

More specifically, when the purchase button 27D or the cancel button 27E is pressed, the game media usage environment providing unit 33 updates the user data 112 as follows. First, when the purchase button 27D is pressed and it is selected to own, the game medium use environment providing unit 33 stores the user identifier of the user data 112 and the winning game medium in association with each other. On the other hand, when the cancel button 27E is pressed to cancel the purchase of the winning game media, the game media usage environment providing unit 33 associates the user identifier of the user data 112 with the winning game media. Absent.

In the example of FIG. 5A, only the purchase button 27D and the cancel button 27E are prepared, but a button corresponding to another instruction of the user may be further prepared. For example, a composition button is prepared, and when the composition button is pressed, the winning game medium and another game medium may be combined. The other game medium to be synthesized may be selectable from, for example, purchased game media. When the winning game medium synthesis is selected, for example, the game medium use environment providing unit 33 inputs the data of the game medium used for the synthesis, which is the game medium associated with the user identifier of the user data 112. It is deleted, and the user identifier of the user data 112 and the synthesized game medium are stored in association with each other. Further, for example, an exchange button may be prepared so that when the exchange button is pressed, the winning game medium can be exchanged with another user. When the exchange of the winning game media is selected, for example, the game media usage environment providing unit 33 exchanges and stores the correspondence with the user identifier of the user data 112 for the game media to be exchanged. By giving the user an option other than owning, the utility value of the winning game medium is further improved, so that the user's request for lottery execution continues, which leads to prevention of further decrease in the motivation to continue the game.

FIG. 5B is a diagram showing an example of a demo battle screen. As shown in FIG. 5B, the demo battle screen includes a title portion 26A with "demo battle" written in the upper center. In addition, the demo battle screen includes an image 26C of the winning game medium "Night" and an image 26B of the opponent. Further, in the present embodiment, the demo battle screen also displays the ability 26D of the winning game medium "Night".

The information processing device 1 particularly updates the elapsed time after the discharge of the user data 112 and the remaining time of the lottery. Further, after the purchase notification described later, the information processing device 1 also updates the purchased game medium.

In step S2A, the information processing device 1 determines whether or not the remaining lottery time is zero. That is, the information processing device 1 determines whether or not the user can execute the trial lottery based on the remaining lottery time. When the remaining time of the lottery becomes zero (YES in step S2A), the information processing device 1 ends the process of FIG. 6 so that the user cannot select the trial lottery on the lottery top screen. On the other hand, if the lottery remaining time is not zero (NO in step S2A), the information processing device 1 proceeds to the process of step S3.

In step S3, the information processing device 1 determines whether or not there is a lottery top screen request from the user, that is, a request for displaying the lottery top screen. If the user has not requested the lottery top screen (NO in step S3), the information processing apparatus 1 returns to the process of step S1 again. On the other hand, when the user requests the lottery top screen (YES in step S3), the information processing device 1 proceeds to the process of step S4.

In step S4, the information processing device 1 gives an instruction to display the lottery top screen, that is, an instruction to display the lottery top screen (see FIG. 4A) on the display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2.

In step S5, the information processing device 1 determines whether or not the lottery execution request from the user, that is, whether or not the user presses the lottery start button 24F to request the lottery execution. If there is no lottery execution request from the user (NO in step S5), the information processing device 1 stands by. On the other hand, when there is a lottery execution request from the user (YES in step S5), the information processing apparatus 1 proceeds to the process of step S6.

In step S6, the information processing device 1 accesses the game medium data 111 and acquires necessary information. The information processing device 1 acquires information on the rarity of the game medium from the game medium data 111, so that the higher the rarity of the game medium, the smaller the winning probability (for example, inversely proportional) in the lottery. Here, the winning probability of the game medium is not limited to a form that is inversely proportional to the rarity, but may be adjusted so that the winning probability of a specific game medium becomes high or low. For example, when a campaign for a specific boss is being executed, the probability of winning a character (a type of game medium) that can cause a great deal of damage to the boss may be increased. Since such adjustment of the winning probability can provide favorable conditions to the user, there is a possibility that the user's willingness to continue the game is further improved.

In step S7, the information processing device 1 draws a lot according to the probability according to the rarity of the game medium. Then, the winning game medium is determined.

Here, in the present embodiment, the lottery unit 31 draws lots according to the probability according to the rarity of the game medium, but as described above, the order of discharging (selecting) the game media is set in advance, and the user can play the game. When requesting the acquisition of media, items may be ejected in the set order. If the ejection order of the game media is set in advance, the information processing device 1 acquires the ejection order of the game media in step S6. Then, in step S7, the information processing device 1 grasps the discharge order of the last discharged game medium, and determines the game medium in the next discharge order as the winning game medium.

In step S8, the information processing device 1 gives an instruction to display the lottery result screen, that is, an instruction to display the lottery result screen (see FIG. 4B) on the display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2.

In step S9, the information processing device 1 updates the user data 112. The information processing device 1 updates the winning game medium of the user who requested the lottery execution and the elapsed time after discharge.

In step S10, the information processing device 1 gives an instruction to display the purchase confirmation screen, that is, an instruction to display the purchase confirmation screen (see FIG. 5A) on the display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2.

In step S19, the information processing device 1 determines whether or not the user requests the demo battle, that is, the user presses the demo battle execution button 27F to request the execution of the demo battle. If there is no demo battle request from the user (NO in step S19), the information processing device 1 proceeds to the process of step S30. On the other hand, when there is a demo battle request from the user (YES in step S19), the information processing device 1 proceeds to the process of step S20.

In step S20, the information processing device 1 determines whether or not the elapsed time after discharge has been exceeded. That is, the information processing device 1 determines whether or not the purchase deadline of the winning game medium has passed based on the elapsed time after discharge. If the elapsed time after discharge has not been exceeded, that is, if the winning game medium is within the time available for purchase (NO in step S20), the information processing device 1 proceeds to the process of step S22. On the other hand, when the elapsed time after discharge is exceeded, that is, when the purchase deadline of the winning game medium has passed (YES in step S20), the information processing device 1 proceeds to the process of step S30. At this time, the information processing device 1 may reset (blank) the fields of the winning game medium, the elapsed time after discharge, and the number of demo battles of the user data 112.

Here, in this embodiment, there is no upper limit on the number of demo battles. However, as another embodiment, an upper limit may be set for the number of demo battles. At this time, step S20 also determines whether or not the number of demo battles exceeds the upper limit. That is, when at least one of the elapsed time after discharge and the number of demo battles is exceeded (YES in step S20), the information processing apparatus 1 proceeds to the process of step S30, and in other cases (NO in step S20). The information processing device 1 proceeds to the process of step S22.

In step S22, the information processing device 1 executes a demo battle. At this time, the demo battle screen (see FIG. 5B) is displayed on the display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2. The demo battle is an event provided by the game media usage environment providing unit 33 of the information processing device 1, and is a form of the game media usage environment. The purpose of the demo battle is to give the user a thorough understanding of the effects, features, and strength of the winning game medium before deciding whether or not the user wants to own it. Therefore, the game medium use environment providing unit 33 of the information processing device 1 appropriately sets the opponent and the conditions against which the user competes.

In the example of FIG. 5B, the game medium use environment providing unit 33 sets the level of the winning game medium "night" to the extent that all abilities 26D can be used (specifically, level 3 or higher). increase. Then, it is preferable to set the opponent's level low so that the "Night" ability at this time can be used. This is to prevent the opponent from being too strong and the "knight" being defeated before using the ability. Further, the game medium use environment providing unit 33 may have a tutorial mode for teaching the user when to exert the ability 26D. At this time, the user can fully understand the effect and strength of all the abilities of "Night". In order to make it possible to objectively compare the effects, functions, and strengths of the winning game media, the game media usage environment providing unit 33 can also fix the level of the opponent. Further, in order to make the user understand the ability in particular, the game medium use environment providing unit 33 may appropriately change whether it is a single battle or a group battle. For example, if the winning game medium ability is recovery magic, the effect cannot be understood unless there is another ally. In such a case, the game medium use environment providing unit 33 may set the conditions of the demo battle so that the battle of a group can be performed instead of the battle of a single person.

In step S23, the information processing device 1 updates the user data 112. The information processing device 1 particularly updates the number of demo battles. After that, the information processing device 1 returns to the process of step S19. That is, in the present embodiment, the user can repeat the demo battle until he / she is satisfied with the effect, function, and strength of the winning game medium.

In step S30, the information processing apparatus 1 determines whether the user has indicated the intention to purchase, that is, whether the user has pressed the purchase button 27D or the cancel button 27E. When the user presses the cancel button 27E to cancel the purchase of the winning game medium (NO in step S30), the information processing device 1 returns to the process of step S4, and the user can request the lottery execution again. On the other hand, when the user presses the purchase button 27D to indicate the intention to purchase the winning game medium (YES in step S30), the information processing device 1 proceeds to the process of step S31.

In step S31, the information processing device 1 gives a purchase notification to the communication terminal 2 indicating that the winning game medium is owned by the user. At this time, a message indicating that the product has been purchased may be displayed on the display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2. After that, the information processing device 1 returns to the process of step S1.

As described above, the information processing device 1 of the present embodiment uses a game medium that can use the winning game medium before accepting an operation input for selecting whether or not to own the game medium from the communication terminal 2. The environment (demo battle) is provided to the communication terminal 2. Therefore, the satisfaction level of the user regarding the acquisition of the game medium can be improved, and as a result, the decrease in the satisfaction level of the user with respect to the game due to the possession of the game medium can be suppressed.

Here, in the present embodiment, the game medium usage environment in which the winning game medium can be used is provided in the form of an event called a demo battle, which is different from the game. At this time, the game medium use environment providing unit 33 can also set the opponent and the conditions against which the user will compete in the demo battle according to the winning game medium. That is, in the present embodiment, the user can use the winning game medium in an environment in which the match can be surely won. Therefore, the user can not only understand the effect of the winning game medium, but also improve the motivation to continue the game by winning the match. Further, the purchase confirmation screen of the present embodiment (see FIG. 5A) includes a demo battle execution button 27F, a purchase button 27D, and a cancel button 27E. That is, in the present embodiment, since the user can choose to execute the demo battle or indicate whether or not he / she wants to own the winning game medium, he / she has a degree of freedom in the timing of possession.

Further, in the present embodiment, the user can repeat the demo battle until he / she is satisfied with the effect, function, and strength of the winning game medium. That is, after the demo battle execution (see step S22 in FIG. 6), the user can request the demo battle execution again (see step S19 in FIG. 6). When the information processing device 1 has an operation input (the demo battle execution button 27F is pressed) to execute the demo battle from the communication terminal 2, the information processing device 1 executes the demo battle again under the same conditions or by changing the conditions. This makes it possible to further suppress a decrease in user satisfaction with the game due to possession of the game medium.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a control method of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment. Since the configurations of the first embodiment and the information processing apparatus 1 are the same, the description thereof will be omitted. Compared with the first embodiment in which the number of demo battles is completely left to the user's selection, the control method of the information processing device 1 according to the present embodiment automatically executes the demo battle once without the user's selection operation. The point to do is different. The same steps as in FIG. 6 are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted, and the parts different from those of the first embodiment will be described in detail below.

First, since steps S1 to S9 are the same as the steps having the same reference numerals in the control method of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted. Then, the process of step S20 is executed following step S9. The information processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment performs the process of step S22 when the elapsed time after discharge has not been exceeded (NO in step S20).

After that, in step S22, the information processing device 1 executes a demo battle. That is, in the present embodiment, after the lottery, one demo battle is automatically executed without requiring the user's instruction to execute the demo battle.

In step S23, the information processing device 1 updates the user data 112. The information processing device 1 particularly updates the number of demo battles. In this embodiment, since the demo battle is executed only once, step S23 may be omitted.

In step S24, the information processing device 1 gives an instruction to display the purchase confirmation screen, that is, an instruction to display the purchase confirmation screen on the display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2. In the present embodiment, the purchase confirmation screen is a screen in which the demo battle execution button 27F is omitted from FIG. 5A. That is, in the present embodiment, after executing one demo battle, the user's intention of whether or not he / she wants to own the winning game medium is confirmed. When the elapsed time after discharge is exceeded in step S20 (YES in step S20), the description of step S30 and step S31 is omitted because they are the same as those in the first embodiment.

The information processing device 1 of the present embodiment provides the user with a game medium usage environment (demo battle) in which the winning game medium can be used before receiving the intention from the user whether or not he / she wants to own the game medium. In the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the demo battle is automatically provided to the user after the lottery of the game medium. Therefore, since the user is sure to execute at least one demo battle without inputting the operation, the purchase decision is made after surely understanding the effect, function, and strength of the winning game medium without the trouble of inputting the operation. It is possible to suppress a decrease in user satisfaction with the game due to possession.

Here, in the present embodiment, the purchase confirmation screen in which the demo battle execution button 27F is omitted is displayed after the demo battle. That is, the demo battle is executed only once. This reduces the time that the main game is interrupted by another event (demo battle), and makes the game progress speedily. However, as a modification of the present embodiment, a purchase confirmation screen without omitting the demo battle execution button 27F may be displayed so that the user can repeat the demo battle a plurality of times. Further, the number of times may be limited (for example, three times) so that the user can repeat the demo battle, and after that, the purchase confirmation screen in which the demo battle execution button 27F is omitted may be displayed. At this time, the user's understanding of the effect, function, and strength of the winning game medium and the speedy progress of the game can be adjusted in a well-balanced manner.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a control method of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the third embodiment. Since the configuration of the information processing device 1 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment and the second embodiment (hereinafter referred to as the above-described embodiment), the description thereof will be omitted. Compared with the previous embodiment, the control method of the information processing device 1 according to the present embodiment is different in that the game medium won in the main game (competition game) can be used instead of the demo battle. The same steps as those in FIGS. 6 and 7 are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted, and the parts different from the previous embodiments will be described in detail below.

In step S1, the information processing device 1 updates the user data 112. The information processing device 1 particularly updates the elapsed time after the discharge of the user data 112 and the remaining time of the lottery. Further, after the purchase notification described later, the information processing device 1 also updates the purchased game medium. Since the demo battle is not executed in this embodiment, the user data 112 does not include the item of the number of demo battles. Since step S2A following step S1 is the same as the previous embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

In step S2B, the information processing apparatus 1 determines whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed based on the data of the elapsed time after discharge of the user data 112. The predetermined period is a period during which the winning game medium before purchase can be used and tried in the game (hereinafter referred to as a trial period). In addition, the state in which the user is using the winning game medium before purchase in the game during the trial period is also expressed as "trial". If the trial period has not elapsed (NO in step S2B), the information processing apparatus 1 proceeds to the process of step S3A. On the other hand, when the trial period has elapsed (YES in step S2B), the information processing apparatus 1 proceeds to the process of step S24. Even if the user has not yet executed the trial lottery, the information processing apparatus 1 proceeds to the process of step S3A by treating that the trial period has expired (NO in step S2B). The trial period is, for example, 3 days, and the user can understand the effect of the winning game medium before purchase simply by playing the game as usual during the 3 days.

In step S3A, the information processing device 1 determines whether or not there is a lottery top screen request from the user, that is, a request for displaying the lottery top screen. If the user is already trying out the winning game medium or has not requested the lottery top screen (NO in step S3A), the information processing device 1 returns to the process of step S1 again. On the other hand, if the user is not in the trial and requests the lottery top screen (YES in step S3A), the information processing device 1 proceeds to the process of step S4.

Since steps S4 to S9 are the same as the steps having the same reference numerals in the control method of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the previous embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted. Then, in step S11 following step S9, the information processing device 1 of the present embodiment sends a trial notification indicating that the user is using the winning game medium before purchase in the game. Do for 2. At this time, a message indicating that the trial is being performed may be displayed on the display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2. After that, the information processing device 1 returns to the process of step S1.

When the trial period has elapsed (YES in step S2B), in step S24, the information processing device 1 gives an instruction to display the purchase confirmation screen, that is, an instruction to display the purchase confirmation screen on the display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2. In the present embodiment, the purchase confirmation screen is a screen in which the demo battle execution button 27F is omitted from FIG. 5A. This is because, in the present embodiment, the game medium selected by the user in the main game for which the trial period is set is used, and the demo battle is not executed, so that the demo battle execution button 27F is unnecessary. The user decides whether or not he / she wants to own the game after understanding the effect and the like by using the winning game medium within the trial period. Since steps S30 and S31 after step S24 are the same as those in the previous embodiment, description thereof will be omitted.

Here, in the present embodiment, when the cancel button 27E is pressed, the game media use environment providing unit 33 updates the user data 112 as follows. The game media usage environment providing unit 33 stores the user identifier of the user data 112 and the winning game media in association with each other when the trial period is reached. Then, when the cancel button 27E is pressed, the game medium use environment providing unit 33 deletes the data of the winning game medium associated with the user identifier of the user data 112.
