Description

  The present invention relates to a game server that controls the progress of a game in accordance with an operation from a terminal that communicates via a network, a game providing method, a game program that operates the game server, an information recording medium that records the game program, and a terminal And a game system including a game server.

  In recent years, with the spread of high-function mobile terminals represented by smartphones, social networking games (hereinafter referred to as social games) have become popular as games provided using social networking services (SNS). doing. In such a social game, a user (hereinafter referred to as a real user) operates a terminal at hand to operate a virtual character (hereinafter referred to as a virtual user) that exists in a virtual world formed by a game server. (Describe) and proceed while communicating with other users playing the same game.

  In this type of game, a variety of items appear in the game, and as the game progresses, the virtual user (and eventually the real user who operates the virtual user) owns the item, and the virtual user uses the item. There are things that you can do. As an example of processing for causing a virtual user to acquire an item, an example in which a system called “gacha” that can acquire a prize by lottery is implemented is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2008-253521 A

  In games that implement these items, the acquisition and collection of items itself can increase the variety of items, set attractive data and illustrations, etc. for the purpose of enhancing the interest of users playing the game. , Tend to taste.

  On the other hand, the item acquisition route is limited to a certain method such as simply giving an item by lottery from the management side of the social game, and it is difficult to expand the method. For this reason, depending on the item acquisition method, there is a possibility that a boring image such as a feeling of work or feeling of feeling is given to the user, and the interest obtained by playing the game is diminished.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and a game server and a game server that can provide a user with a new interest related to the implementation of items by providing a variety of item acquisition methods. An object of the present invention is to provide a game providing method, a game program, an information recording medium, and a game system for providing a game.

(Aspect 1)
In order to solve the above problems, a game server of the present invention is a game server that communicates with each user's terminal and provides a game that allows a plurality of users to play while playing against each other or interacting with each other. In order to participate in the battle from the items owned by the user based on the attribute information of each of the plurality of users who participate in the battle and the item management unit that manages the information of items that can be used in the game An item extracting unit that extracts participating items as a consideration for each user, and according to a result of the battle, the participating items are distributed as rewards to users who participate in the battle and set as items owned by the user comprising a rewards setting unit, wherein the match is for a plurality of users is performed divided into a plurality of groups, said plurality Based on the information of users belonging to the group, it further includes an superiority / inferiority determining unit that determines the superiority or inferiority of the plurality of groups, and the item extraction unit is configured to participate in the participation from the owned items of users belonging to each group based on the determined superiority Determine and extract items.

  The game server of the present invention performs a series of processes of executing a game in accordance with an operation transmitted from a real user's terminal and transmitting a process result to the terminal, thereby enabling a network such as a social game. A so-called online game using communication via the Internet is provided. The real user transmits the operation data to the game server via the terminal, thereby causing the virtual user to act in the virtual world formed by the game server and interacting with the virtual user operated by another real user, The game can be advanced.

  In the game of the present embodiment, items that can be owned and used by the actual user in the game appear. By using the item, the real user can receive various benefits for proceeding the game advantageously, such as improving the ability set for the virtual user. In the game server of the present invention, information on the names and effects of items appearing in the game, and information on items owned by the respective virtual users (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “owned items”) It is managed by the item management unit and can be used according to the game progress process.

  In the game provided by the game server of the present invention, “play” in which a plurality of virtual users can participate simultaneously is included in the play content of the game. The “match” according to the present invention is one mode of playing a game in which a plurality of real users operate and advance their own virtual users to compete for results with each other. As an example of a game on the theme of “competition”, there is a competitive sports game in which real users operate sports players such as baseball and soccer as virtual users and play a game with players operated by other real users. In addition, even if a real user plays independently, for example, a game or a quiz game that operates a virtual user and adventures in the virtual world, by competing the results of the participating virtual users, A “match” in which virtual users participate simultaneously can be realized.

  In the present invention, the item extraction unit extracts, from each virtual user, a participating item as a price for participating in the battle from items owned by the virtual user based on the attribute information of each of the plurality of virtual users participating in the battle. To do. Participating items extracted as consideration are separated from the virtual user's owned items at that time, and are temporarily managed by the item extraction unit.

  In addition, the reward item setting unit distributes the participation item submitted from the participating virtual user at the end of the battle, according to the result of the battle, to the virtual user who participated in the battle as the participation item as a reward. Set to owned items. That is, in the present invention, the participating item is a deposit for participating in the battle, and has a meaning as a reward awarded to each participant according to the battle result.

  According to the game server of the present invention, unlike items that have been provided by the management side such as gacha, which has been implemented in the past, it is possible to compete against items owned by virtual users. Can provide an opportunity to acquire new items. On the occasion of acquiring a new item, a plurality of virtual users are in a form of sharing items owned by virtual users operated by other real users. For this reason, unlike the conventional method in which an item is acquired by simply inputting an operation alone, it is possible to prevent giving a boring image such as a feeling of work and sense of feeling, and to provide a new interest to a real user. .

  In addition, the item extraction unit refers to the attribute information of the virtual user, for example, the level, the attack power or the defense power, and the operation history information, so that the participation item is extracted, so that it participates in the battle regardless of the intention of the real user. An item for is selected. Therefore, for example, an item unnecessary for the virtual user, such as an item having a low degree of rarity or attack power, is not selected as a participating item, so that a fair battle can be realized.

Moreover, according to this invention, in order to provide the opportunity of acquisition of a new item, the play environment where a some virtual user fights mutually is provided with respect to the real user. For example, for a virtual user who submitted a participating item and participated in the battle, “I want to acquire an item extracted from another virtual user” or “I do not want to pass the extracted participating item to another virtual user” Incentives related to the participating items act, and an effect that encourages motivated play in the battle can also be expected.
The superiority / inferiority determination unit determines the superiority or inferiority of the plurality of groups, and determines the participation item extraction rule in the item extraction unit from the determination result. By determining the superiority or inferiority of a plurality of groups in the item extraction, it is possible to provide a game in which any group can enjoy a battle by adjusting the difference in the battle strength between the groups. For example, even if there is a difference in level or attack power between the groups that play against each other, a weak group can get an item held by a strong group user if they win the battle, and a strong group can get items from a weak group. There is a high possibility of winning while gaining. In this way, by adjusting the difference in competitive power between groups, not by adjusting the attack power etc., by participating items and reward items, it is possible to realize a more fair battle and actively play the game An environment to play can be created.

(Aspect 2)
The game server of the present invention is a game server that communicates with each user's terminal and provides a game in which a plurality of users can play while playing against each other and interacting with each other, and can be used in the game owned by the user Based on the attribute information of each of a plurality of users who participate in the battle and an item management unit that manages information on various items, each participating item that is a price for participating in the battle is selected from items owned by the user An item extraction unit that is extracted from a user, and a reward item setting unit that distributes the participation item as a reward to users who participated in the battle according to the result of the battle, and sets the item as an item owned by the user. The remuneration item setting unit is arranged in order from the user who participated in the battle, in order from the user with the best score in the battle. Set the join item as rewards, or performance in the competition is set as rewards accepts selection of the participating items in order from the user is good.

  According to the present invention, depending on the superiority or inferiority of the results in the battle (for example, winning or losing, the magnitude of the point acquisition value, the degree of contribution, etc.), the participation item submitted from the real user is paid as a reward for participating in the battle. Since the item distributed to the user can be selected, the real user can enjoy the battle more motivated with the motivation to obtain a desired reward. In addition, since the ranking of the user changes depending on the other user's fighting, it can be acquired not only according to the operation of the virtual user itself but also according to the play contents by the operation of the other real user participating in the battle. The reward will change. Therefore, the situation regarding item acquisition can be appropriately changed, and it is possible to prevent the actual user from having a boring image such as a feeling of work or feeling of feeling.

(Aspect 3)
The game server of the present invention is a game server that communicates with each user's terminal and provides a game in which a plurality of users can play while playing against each other and interacting with each other, and can be used in the game owned by the user Based on the attribute information of each of a plurality of users who participate in the battle and an item management unit that manages information on various items, each participating item that is a price for participating in the battle is selected from items owned by the user An item extraction unit that is extracted from a user, and a reward item setting unit that distributes the participation item as a reward to users who participated in the battle according to the result of the battle, and sets the item as an item owned by the user. The reward item setting unit, when the participating item is distributed as a reward to the user who is the owner before extraction, Temu performance of, improving from the previous extraction.

  According to this invention, the virtual user can improve the performance of the item which he owns by acquiring the item extracted as a participating item as a reward for a battle. Owning a higher-performance item not only favors the game, but also satisfies the desire and ownership of a real user ’s special feeling. The motivation of “I want to further enhance the performance of high-value items” can improve the motivation to play.

(Aspect 4)
In the present invention, the superiority or inferiority determination unit determines the number of users belonging to the plurality of groups, the item extraction unit, the items for the number of people in the group having a large number of users belonging to the plurality of groups, The participating items are extracted from the items owned by users belonging to each group.

  According to the present invention as described above, superiority or inferiority between groups is determined based on the number of users belonging to the group. A group with a small number of users contributes many items in the battle, but reward items can be obtained for the number of people in the large group, so that motivation for victory can be increased. On the other hand, a group with a large number of users is more likely to win a battle because it has several advantages, but can acquire items contributed by winning. By such a method, the difference of the competitive power between the groups in the battle can be adjusted, and the motivation for the battle of the user having a difference in the competitive strength can be increased.

(Aspect 5)
The present invention further compares a participation item change receiving unit that receives a change of the participating item from each user after the item extraction by the item extracting unit, and a predetermined parameter attached to the participating item and the item to be changed. And the item change unit that changes the participation item to the change target item when the parameter of the change target item is equal to or higher than the parameter of the participation item. And comprising.

  According to the present invention as described above, the item extraction unit selects an item for participating in a battle regardless of the user's intention. When this item is an item that the user is attached to, the room for item change is left for the user, and the change accepting unit accepts the item change. At that time, when the item comparison unit is a parameter of the participating item and the item to be changed, for example, when the item is a card, the item's attack power or defense power, the rarity of the item or the level information, etc. In comparison, when the parameter of the change target item is higher than the parameter of the participating item, that is, when the user extracts an item better than the item extracted by the item extraction unit, the item change is permitted. By such an item change reception part and an item comparison part, it can be set as the game which reflected the user's intention, ensuring the fairness of a battle | competition.

(Aspect 6)
  The present invention includes a battle correction unit so that the user is advantageous or disadvantageous in the battle according to the effect and rarity of the participating items.

  For example, if the participation item extracted as a consideration for the virtual user to participate in the battle is rare in the game or has an excellent effect in the game, the item is more valuable. The processing contents of the virtual user are corrected so as to be advantageous during the battle. By setting in this way, the virtual user receives a merit that the virtual user can advance the battle advantageously instead of taking the risk of losing the item depending on the results of the battle. be able to.

  According to this aspect, even when a valuable item is extracted as a participating item of the battle, it becomes easy for the virtual user to participate in the battle, and as a result, only items with low in-game value and low attractiveness as reward are paid. Can be suppressed as submitted. For this reason, since it is possible to give diversity to items obtained as prizes as a result of the battle, it is possible to provide an acquisition path for items that are more interesting.

(Other aspects)

  In the game system G, the game server 1 transmits a game image, which is an image representing the game as a result of the arithmetic processing, to the terminal 3 for display. The terminal 3 transmits a user operation input to the displayed image to the game server 1. The game server 1 that has received the user's operation executes arithmetic processing according to the operation content, and further transmits a game image indicating the processing result to the terminal 3 for display. By repeating such a series of processing, the user can play a game on the terminal 3.

  In addition, the game system G of the present embodiment provides a social game 20 having a so-called social element that allows a plurality of users to receive a game via their respective terminals 3 and play simultaneously while communicating with each other. To do.

(2) Explanation of Terms Prior to detailed description of the present embodiment, definitions of terms used in the embodiment will be described below.

  In the present embodiment, for the user of the social game 20, two concepts of “real user” and “virtual user” are used for convenience.

  The “real user” is a user who plays a role in playing the game, and is a user as an actual personality who inputs the operation content to the game server 1 by operating the terminal 3.

  The “virtual user” is a virtual character in the game as an operation target that acts based on an operation of a real user. The virtual user is perceived by other real users as an avatar or character name expressed by an image or text in the game, like other characters in the game that act according to the program of the social game 20. Moreover, although it is not directly perceived from an image or text, such as a hand of a shogi game, it may be indirectly perceived as a subject of action based on an operation of a real user.

  In the social game 20, it can be said that the virtual user is not only a mere operation target of the real user, but also a representative of the real user itself. For example, the virtual user is assigned various parameters such as a level indicating a measure of ability in the social game 20 and an attack power. The process for the operation of the real user, such as determination of success or failure when the real user causes the virtual user to perform some action, is determined mainly based on these parameters. In addition, when a certain real user perceives a virtual user different from his / her operation target, the user recognizes the existence of another real user who operates the virtual user, and sends a message to the virtual user operated by the other real user. Exchanges according to the game, such as exchanging or playing together, can be achieved.

  The “virtual world” is a virtual world configured (in other words, expressed) in the game by various data such as images and text provided by the game server 1.

  An “item” is a kind of object that appears in the virtual world of the social game 20 and has some unique effect that is exhibited in the game. The virtual user can acquire and use items in the social game 20.

In the quest part, the real user can advance the story or acquire the item by operating the action of the virtual user to adventure the virtual world.

  The synthesis part 22 is a game part on the subject of so-called item synthesis in which items owned by a virtual user are combined and changed to different items. In the synthesis part, the actual user performs an operation of “synthesizing” the item owned through the terminal 3, thereby improving the effect set in the item and the value in the game such as attack power, defense power, and rarity. be able to.

  The battle part 23 is a game part whose theme is that a real user operates a virtual user to battle (that is, battle) with an in-game character. For example, the real user can advantageously advance the battle with other characters by using the acquired items to enhance the attack power and defense power of the virtual user.

  The gacha part 24 is a game part based on a lottery based on “Gacha Gacha (registered trademark)”. In the gacha part 24, the virtual user can acquire the lottery right of the gacha by paying the in-game currency or the like through the operation through the terminal 3 by the real user, and can acquire the item by the lottery.

  The trade part 25 is a game part whose theme is to exchange (that is, trade) items owned by virtual users. In the trade part, the real user can cause the virtual user to acquire a different item by trading an item owned by the virtual user with another virtual user, an in-game character, or the like by an operation through the terminal 3.

  The user part 26 is a game part whose theme is communication between virtual users. Through the user part 26, the virtual user can establish a friendship such as forming a team with another virtual user or exchange messages such as exchanging messages.

  The battle part 27 is a game part that realizes a “battle” between a plurality of virtual users of the present invention. The battle part 27 is a battle part 27 in which a plurality of users can participate by submitting participation items. Provide the play content as the subject. Here, the participating item is a deposit for participating in the battle, and has a meaning as a reward awarded to each participant according to the battle result.

  In the present embodiment, the game parts 21 to 27 express one social game 20 in relation to each other or independently, thereby providing various interests to real users. Hereinafter, when the term “game” or “social game 20” is simply used, the entire social game including the plurality of game parts is indicated.

  Note that the game processing unit 130 may include a plurality of functional units that individually perform processing corresponding to each of the game parts 21 to 27 configuring the social game 20 as one aspect. For example, in order to perform processing corresponding to each of the game parts 21 to 26, the game processing unit 130 performs a quest part processing unit 131, a combined part processing unit 132, a battle part processing unit 133, a gacha part processing unit 134, a trade part. You may have the process part 135 and the user part process part 136. FIG. Note that these processing units 131 to 136 are not characteristic configurations in the present embodiment, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

  In addition, the game processing unit 130 includes a battle part processing unit 140 for processing the battle part 27. The battle part processing unit 140 will be specifically described below.

(4-3-2) Battle Part Processing Unit The configuration and function of the battle part processing unit 140 will be described with reference to FIG. The battle part processing unit 140 includes a participation request reception unit 141, a participation item extraction unit 142, a battle processing unit 143, and a reward granting unit 144.

  The participation request reception unit 141 refers to the operation content of the real user delivered from the operation data input unit 110 and receives an operation for requesting participation in the battle part 27 (hereinafter referred to as “participation request”). In addition, the participation request reception part 141 requests | requires the submission of the participation item for participating in a battle | competition with respect to the virtual user who made the participation request to the battle | competition part 27 through operation through the terminal 3 of a real user, and participated. Accept the virtual user who made the request.

  The participation item extraction unit 142 extracts participation items from the attribute information of the virtual user based on the participation request received by the participation request reception unit 141. That is, the participating item extraction unit 142 selects and extracts items suitable for submission when the virtual user participates in the battle based on information such as the level and strength of the virtual user.

  Specifically, the participating item extraction unit 142 extracts attribute information such as level information, attack power information, or defense power information of a predetermined virtual user from the user basic data table 221 illustrated in FIG. In addition, the participation item extraction unit 142 determines the rank of the item suitable for the item to be submitted as the consideration for participation in the battle from the extracted attribute information, and extracts the item of the rank as the participation item. . Further, the participation item extraction unit 142 has a function of creating the competition participant list image 50 shown in FIG. 6 by collecting the extracted participant information, participation item information, and the like.

  Further, the battle processing unit 143 executes the progress process of the battle part 27. The battle processing unit 143 is configured to operate the virtual user participating in the battle and the operation target based on the operation data from the real user operating the virtual user participating in the battle and the contents defined in the social game 20. Virtual user data, data indicating the content of the battle, data indicating the result of the battle, and the like are generated.

  Based on the data generated by the battle processing unit 143, the image data output unit 120 displays a battle participant list image 50 shown in FIG. 6, a battle result image 60 shown in FIG. 7, and other games that present the content of the battle. An image is generated and displayed on the terminal 3.

  The battle participant list image 50 is a game image in which the virtual users who participate in the battle part 27 received by the participation request receiving unit 141 and the extracted participating items are presented as a list. The competition participant list image 50 includes information that can identify the virtual user, such as icons 51a to 51c and user names 52a to 52c of the virtual user who has requested to participate, the extracted participation items 53a to 53c, and the rareness of the participation items Competence corrections 54a-54c determined according to the degree are presented.

  The battle processing unit 143 advances the battle so that the virtual user is advantageous in accordance with the value in the game such as the effect and rarity of the participation item extracted from the virtual user participating in the battle. In the example shown in FIG. 6, a state is shown in which a virtual user who uses an item with a high degree of rarity as a participating item is corrected so as to improve the attack power of the virtual user to be operated during the battle. In the example of FIG. 6, as the rarity of the extracted participating items increases in the order of N (Normal: Normal), R (Rare: Rare), and SR (Special Rare), it is applied to the virtual user during the battle. Ascending values due to correction to attack power are 20% (competing ability correction 54c), 30% (competing ability correction 54b), and 100% (competing ability correction 54a), respectively. Has been.

  The battle processing unit 143 refers to the battle result after the battle has ended, determines the results of the participating virtual users, and notifies the reward granting unit 144 of the results. Specifically, the results of the participating virtual users are recorded in a battle management data table 212 (see FIG. 9), which will be described later, and based on the information stored here, the results are extracted and the ranks are simultaneously determined. Extract. As will be described in detail later, the battle management data table 212 stores the results and ranks of each real user at the time of the battle determined by the battle processing unit 143, as shown in FIG. 143 reads this. The results are obtained by quantifying the total number of attacks in the battle, for example, in units of pt indicating points, and ranks are given in descending order of the numerical values.

  The reward granting unit 144 distributes the submitted participation items as rewards to the participating virtual users according to the results of the battle part 27. For example, the reward to be acquired by the virtual user is determined by some means such as selecting a desired item from the submitted participation items in order from the virtual user with excellent results. Specifically, the reward granting unit 144 presents the battle result image 60 shown in FIG. 7 and receives an operation for selecting a reward to be acquired from a real user who operates the virtual user. When the virtual user to be accepted for operation selects a participating item extracted from another participant other than the virtual user as a reward, the reward granting unit 144 grants the selected item to the virtual user as a reward. A process for rewriting the owned item data table 212 is executed. On the other hand, when the virtual user who is the reception target of the operation to be selected selects a participating item extracted from the virtual user as a reward, the reward granting unit 144 executes a special reward granting process.

  7 is an example of a game image generated by the image data output unit 120 based on data related to reward determined by the reward granting unit 144 from results determined in the battle processing unit 143. .

  The battle result image 60 is a game image for accepting an operation of a real user in which a virtual user selects a reward item to be acquired as a reward from participating items in an order corresponding to the result of the battle. In the example of FIG. 7, the match result image 60 selects a reward item to be acquired from among the submitted participation items for the virtual user (referred to as virtual user A) who has the best match score at the end of the match. An operation to request is requested.

  Specifically, as shown in the battle result image 60 of FIG. 7, an icon 61 for specifying the virtual user A is displayed on the upper stage, and the virtual user A has the best score in the battle next to the icon 61. A display 62 indicating that the user has the right to select the prize and the prize is provided. Further, selectable items 63a to 63c are displayed in the lower row. When there are three or more selectable items and the list cannot be displayed in the lower part of the image 60, selection buttons 64a and 64b for "Previous page" or "Next page" are provided. It is also possible to display it on the image. The virtual user A selects, for example, the item “Dagger” (63a), “Legendary Sword” (63b), or “Steel Bow” (63c) displayed in the image 60 through the operation on the terminal 3 of the real user. As a result, any item selected by the virtual user A is written in the owned item data table 222 of the virtual user A, and the virtual user A acquires the item as a reward item.

  After the virtual user A selects a reward, the reward granting unit 144 is the same image as the battle result image 60 shown in FIG. 7 and excludes the item selected by the virtual user A from the presented rewards. A battle result image is generated and displayed on the terminal 3 of the virtual user who has the best result after the virtual user A.

  In FIG. 6, “dagger” is extracted as the participation item 53 a of the user A in the competition participant list image 50. And also as a reward item, the "dagger" (63a) is displayed as a reward item of the user A in the lower stage of FIG. Here, if both the “dagger” of the participating item 53a in FIG. 6 and the “dagger” (63a) of the reward item in FIG. 7 are extracted from the items owned by the user A, the “dagger” ( When the user A selects 63a), the same item as extracted as the participating item is returned. Therefore, in such a case, the performance of the participating item can be improved as compared to before extraction and given to the user A as a reward item. Here, the item performance refers to improving the attribute and parameter information attached to the item as shown in the item data table 211 (FIG. 8) to be described later. It is possible to increase from “N” indicating “R” to “R” indicating rare, or as an effect increasing attack power. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, when the same item as the participating item becomes a reward item, as shown in FIG. A balloon or the like may be added as in “Up” (63d).

(4-3-3) Data Storage Unit The data storage unit 200 stores information related to the social game 20 in the storage device 16. The data storage unit 200 includes a functional unit for storing and managing according to the type and nature of data for convenience. In the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the game information storage unit 210 and the user information storage unit 220 are provided. Is provided.

  The game information storage unit 210 stores and manages data that mainly constitutes the social game 20 such as game programs, game images, and texts, and includes an item data table 211 and a battle management data table 212.

  Further, the game information storage unit 210 functions as a part of the “item management unit” of the present invention by storing information related to items used in the social game 20. The game information storage unit 210 stores information on individual items in, for example, an item data table 211 as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the item data table 211 assigns unique identification information (that is, item ID) for each item type, “item name”, “rareness” indicating the value of the item in the game, Various data of “effects” that are exhibited in the social game 20 such as attack power and defense power, and an image indicating the appearance of the item (unique “image ID” that indicates the image in the game) are stored. For example, the item with the item IDI002 has the name “iron iron” and the rarity “N (Normal)”. This item is categorized as an attribute of “槍” and has an in-game effect of increasing the attack power of the virtual user by 10% when used (equipped). In addition, this item is associated with image data having an image ID of G002 as an image indicating the appearance.

  In addition, the game information storage unit 210 matches the information about the virtual user who has requested to participate, the information about the participation item extracted from the participating virtual user, and the information about the result of the battle part as the battle part 27 progresses. Obtained from the part processing unit 140 and stored in the battle management data table 212 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the battle management data table 212 is received by the participation request receiving unit 141, information related to the virtual user who made the participation request, identification information (participation item ID) of the submitted participation item, and participation The rarity of items and the results and ranks of each real user at the time of battle determined by the battle processing unit 143 are stored. The results are obtained by quantifying the total number of attacks in the battle, for example, in units of pt indicating points, and ranks are given in descending order of the numerical values.

  The user information storage unit 220 stores information related to the virtual user. Specifically, the user information storage unit 220 includes a user basic data table 221 and an owned item data table 222, as shown in FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b). The user information storage unit 220 functions as a part of the “item management unit” of the present invention by storing information about items owned by the virtual user as an example of information related to the virtual user.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (a), the user basic data table 221 includes a virtual user ID, user name (A, B, C, etc.), user level, attack power, defense power, and the like in the game. The virtual user information and other information related to the user who plays the game are stored. For example, for a virtual user whose user ID is U001, it is stored that the user name is “A”, the level is “250”, the attack power is “100000”, and the defense power is “80000”.

  As shown in FIG. 10B, the owned item data table 222 stores information about the owned items of the virtual user, and the owned item ID is stored in association with the user ID of the virtual user. ing. For example, a state in which an item with an item ID of I001 and an item with an I002 is owned for a virtual user with a user ID of U001 is stored.

  The owned item data table 222 performs a process of giving an item to the virtual user or deleting an item consumed by the virtual user from the owned item by updating the data table.

(5) Battle Part Processing Example A flow and contents of a process related to a battle part will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 11, the progress of the “match” in the battle part 27 includes reception of participants (step S1), extraction of participating items (step S2), progress of battle (step S3), and reward It is executed by each process of giving (step S4). Hereinafter, the process of step S1-S4 is demonstrated using FIGS. 12-15.

[Participant acceptance processing: FIG. 12]
The participant acceptance process (step S1) is a process that is first executed at the time of a “match” held at a predetermined timing in the battle part 27, and includes a participation request reception unit 141 (see FIG. 5) accepts a request for participation in the “match” from the virtual user based on the operation of the real user. This participant acceptance process (step S1) is executed according to the flow shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  In the participant acceptance process (step S1), the participation request acceptance unit 141 displays a game image for recruiting a participant (not shown) on the terminal 3 of the real user, and the “battle” from the virtual user through the operation of the real user. "Is accepted (step S101). The participation request reception unit 141 continuously receives a participation request from a real user until a predetermined “reception end flag” is established (step S102: processing in the case of No). After the flag is established (step S102: Yes), the participation request reception unit 141 notifies the participation item extraction unit 142 to that effect, and ends the participant reception process (END).

[Participating item extraction processing: FIG. 13]
Based on this participation request, the participating item extraction unit 142 extracts participating items from the attribute information of the virtual user. That is, the participating item extraction unit 142 selects and extracts items suitable for submission when the virtual user participates in the battle based on information such as the level and strength of the virtual user.

  Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the participating item extraction unit 142 selects one virtual user from among the virtual users requested to participate, and extracts attribute information of the virtual user (step S201). ). The participating item extraction unit 142 extracts attribute information such as level information, attack power information, or defense power information of a predetermined virtual user from the user basic data table 221 shown in FIG. Here, it is assumed that the participating item extraction unit 142 extracts “100,000” as the attack power information for the user name “A” of the user ID “U001” in FIG.

  Subsequently, the participating item extraction unit 142 determines the rank of the item suitable for the item to be submitted as the consideration for participation in the battle from the extracted attribute information (step S202). Specifically, with regard to attack power information, items with normal (N) rarity when the attack power is 50000 or less, items with rare (R) rarity when the attack power is 80000 or less, and rarity when the attack power is 100000 or more. In this case, the rarity level of items to be extracted as participation items is determined in advance and stored as table information in accordance with the attribute information of the virtual user to be extracted. In addition, the participating item extraction unit 142 determines the participating items to be extracted with reference to the table data. Here, since the attack power information extracted for the user name “A” of the user ID “U001” in FIG. 10A is “100000” in accordance with the above rules, the participating item extraction unit 142 extracts it as a participating item. The item to be determined is an S rare item.

  Then, the participating item extraction unit 142 extracts the information of the virtual user's possessed item data table 222 and compares this item with the item data table 211 shown in FIG. 8 to determine the rank determined in step S202. It is determined whether or not the item is owned by the virtual user (step S203).

  If the virtual user owns the item with the corresponding rank (step S203: Yes), the participating item extraction unit 142 extracts the item as a participating item (step S204). In this case, the participating item extraction unit 142 selects the item with the rarity “SR” of the item ID “I001” in FIG. 8 in the owned item data table 222 of FIG. A ”is determined to be held, and the item is extracted as a participating item of the user A.

  Although not shown in the figure, when there are a plurality of virtual users with the rank item determined in step S202, the participation item extraction unit 142 arbitrarily selects a participation item from the plurality of items. And decide.

  On the other hand, when the virtual user does not own the item of the corresponding rank (step S203: No), the participating item extraction unit 142 further determines whether or not to own the item one rank lower than the corresponding rank. A determination is made (step S205). Specifically, if the rank of the participating item determined in step S202 is S rare (SR), it is determined whether or not the item of the next lower rare (R) is owned. When the virtual user has an item of the rank (step S205: Yes), the item is determined as a participating item (S206), and when the virtual user does not have the item of the rank (step S205: No) The participating item extraction unit 142 extracts an arbitrary owned item as a participating item in the virtual user's owned item data table 222 (step S207). The extracted participating items are temporarily stored in the memory 15 (see FIG. 3) or the like.

  After the above processing, the participating item extraction unit 142 determines whether there are other participants (step S208). If there are other participants (step S208: Yes), the process returns to step S201. The above process is repeated. On the other hand, if there is no other participant (step S208: No), the participant information stored in the memory 15, the participation item information, etc. are collected to create the competition participant list image 50 shown in FIG. (Step S209), the process ends (END).

[Competition progress processing: FIG. 14]
After the participation item extraction process described above, the battle processing unit 143 executes a battle progress process (step S3) for the virtual user who has accepted the participation request. The battle progress process (step S3) is a series of processes for executing a "match" with predetermined contents, and is executed according to the flow shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  First, at the start of the progress of the “match”, the match processing unit 143 determines the content of correction based on the extracted participation items for each participating virtual user (step S301).

  Specifically, the progress process of the “match” will be described by taking as an example the content of a war in which a plurality of real users participate by operating virtual users. In “battle”, a real user operates a virtual user arranged on the map and generates a one-to-one “battle” by contacting a virtual user operated by another real user. In the “battle”, the battle processing unit 143 compares parameters such as attack power and defense power set for each virtual user to be operated, and determines victory or defeat based on the magnitude.

  The parameters of the virtual user operated by each participant are temporarily increased or decreased by the correction based on the participation item. That is, as shown in the item data table 211 of FIG. 8, correction information such as “attack power + 100%”, “attack power + 10%” or “attack power + 30%” is given to the item as “effect”. Yes. When these items shown in FIG. 8 become participating items, this effect corrects the attack power of each virtual user shown in FIG. For example, in the case of the user A with the user ID “U001”, the effect by the participating item is “attack power + 100%”, so that the attack power of the user A in the battle is 100000 plus 200%. It is corrected.

  Subsequently, the battle processing unit 143 executes the “battle” with the content defined in the battle part 27 after applying the determined correction content (step S202). Specifically, a plurality of virtual users repeatedly perform “battle” with each other based on an operation of a real user in real time, thereby realizing a “match” in which a plurality of virtual users participate at the same time.

  The battle processing unit 143 determines the result of each real user who participated based on the content after the “match” has ended (step S203), and ends the processing (END). Specifically, the battle processing unit 143 ends the “match” when a certain end condition is satisfied, such as that any real user satisfies the victory condition or the predetermined holding period ends. . Then, as shown in the battle management data table 212 in FIG. 9, the results of the battle are determined by collecting points (pt) acquired during the battle as results, and ranking in the order of the points. This point is calculated by, for example, the total of attack points given to the opponent in the battle or by quantifying the number of opponents who have defeated and accumulating the total.

[Reward Grant Processing: FIG. 15]
After the “match” ends, after the result is determined, the reward granting unit 143 performs a process of granting a reward to each participant (step S4). The reward granting unit 143 performs the reward giving process (step S4) shown in the flowchart of FIG. 15 in the order in which the results are good for each of the virtual users who participated in the “match”. In the reward granting process (step S4), the reward granting unit 143 first presents the battle result image 60 shown in FIG. 7 and accepts an operation for selecting the reward to be acquired (step S401).

  At this time, when the virtual user to be accepted for operation selects a participating item extracted from another participant other than the virtual user as a reward (step S402: Yes), the reward granting unit 143 selects the selected item. As a reward, a process of rewriting the owned item data table 212 to be given to the virtual user is executed (step S403).

  On the other hand, when the virtual user who is the reception target of the operation to select selects the participating item extracted from the virtual user as a reward (step S402: No), the reward granting unit 143 executes a special reward granting process ( Step S404).

  When a virtual user to be accepted selects a participating item that he / she has extracted as a reward, the virtual user simply acquires the same item as the extracted item, and selects a participating item for participation in the “match”. There is no merit for taking the risk of disappearance. Therefore, when the virtual user who participated in the “match” selects a participating item extracted by himself / herself as a reward, the reward granting unit 143 gives a special reward that improves the performance of the participating item instead. Execute the grant process. At this time, the reward granting unit 143 executes a process of rewriting the possessed item data table 212 so as to give the item that has improved the performance of the selected item as a reward to the virtual user (step S404).

  More specifically, when the “dagger” of the participating item 53a in FIG. 6 and the “dagger” (63a) of the reward item in FIG. 7 are both extracted from the items owned by the user A, “ When the user A selects “Dagger” (63a), the same item as extracted as the participating item will be returned. Therefore, in this case, the performance of the participating item is improved from that before extraction and given to the user A as a reward item. That is, the attribute and parameter information attached to the item shown in the item data table 211 (FIG. 8) is improved. For example, the degree of rarity may be increased from “N” indicating normal to “R” indicating rare, or the attack power may be increased as an effect. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, when the same item as the participating item is a reward item, as shown in FIG. A balloon or the like is added as in “Up” (63d).

  On the other hand, in FIG. 7, when the user A selects “Legendary Sword” (63b) or “Steel Bow” (63c) which is an item other than the “Dagger” (63a) of the reward item as a participating item, A process of rewriting the owned item data table 212 so as to give this item as a reward to the virtual user is executed (step S404).

  After the normal reward granting process (step S403) or the special reward granting process (step S404) as described above, the reward granting unit 143 gives, for example, a reward to the target real user. The game image which shows that is shown, and the reward provision process with respect to the said real user is complete | finished (END).

(6) Operation and Effect of Present Embodiment According to the game server 1 and the game system G configured as described above, a play environment in which a plurality of virtual users can “play” each other's items owned by each other. Can provide virtual users with opportunities to acquire new items.

  In the present embodiment, the item given as a reward for participating in the “confrontation” is not provided from the management side of the social game 20, but among the participating items extracted from the participating virtual users. Selected from. As a result, the participating virtual users will compete against the extracted participating items, so according to the game server of the present invention, the act of acquiring the item itself has an interest unique to social games. be able to.

  In such an opportunity to acquire an item using a “match”, unlike the case where the operation provided by the game management side is acquired by simply inputting an operation by one person, Items that can be acquired are determined according to other virtual users participating in the battle. For this reason, compared with the case where an item is acquired by the conventional method prescribed | regulated to the program, a new interest can be provided to a real user, without giving a boring image, such as a work feeling and sense of feeling.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the process of the “match” progression is corrected so that the actual user participating in the “match” is advantageous or disadvantageous depending on the value of the extracted participation item in the game. The That is, the virtual user can receive a merit that the battle can be advantageously advanced instead of taking the risk of losing the item depending on the performance at the time of the battle.

  In addition, in order to provide an opportunity for acquiring a new item, a play environment in which a plurality of real users play against each other is provided to the real user. For example, “an item extracted by another real user is selected. Incentives related to participating items such as “I want to acquire” or “I do not want to give the participating items to other real users” act, leading to encouraging play in the battle.

  In the present embodiment, a state where a plurality of real users individually participate in the “match” is described as an example. As one form relating to the execution of the “match”, the match part processing unit 140 may realize a “match” between teams composed of a plurality of real users.

  At this time, the participation request reception unit 141 receives a request for participation in the “match” for each team based on an operation through the terminal 3 from a real user. Participation of a team can be requested by, for example, an operation by a team leader or head, or can be requested by an operation on a terminal 3 of a real user who operates any member (virtual user) of the team can do. In addition, the participation request reception unit 141 automatically distributes real users who have received a request for participation in “match” to two teams (referred to as team A and team B), and provisional for the “match”. You may form a team.

  The battle processing unit 143 executes processing related to the progress of the “match” in the form of a battle between team A and team B. For example, in the case of “confrontation” based on the above-mentioned war, the battle processing unit 143 is configured so that each participant attacks only a virtual user belonging to a team different from the one to which the participant belongs. Process the progress of the “match” so that it can be done. In addition, regarding the determination of the outcome after the “match”, the right to recognize the team that has increased the total number of wins as the winning team and to select the reward to be acquired first for the real users belonging to the winning team give.

  In this way, not only a plurality of real users compete with each other but also add a concept of team battle in which real users cooperate and compete with a common opponent, thereby characterizing the relationship between real users The fun unique to social games can be further improved.

  In such a team battle, whether or not a real user can obtain a desired reward depends on not only the operation contents of the user and the parameters of the virtual user to be operated, but also the operation contents of the real user belonging to the same team and the virtual user. I'm also hungry. In this respect, the content of rewards obtained by the actions of friends changes, so that it is possible to produce an interest unique to social games.

  Thus, according to the game server 1, a new interest can be provided to a real user through acquiring the item itself, and improvement of the interest of the whole game can also be expected.

2. Second Embodiment Subsequently, an example of a configuration and an operation of a game system G in which a game server according to a second embodiment is incorporated will be described with reference to FIGS.

(1) Configuration The game system G of the present embodiment is improved in the configuration of the game processing unit 130, particularly the battle part processing unit 140, of the arithmetic processing device 13 that configures the game server 1 shown in the first embodiment. This is an added embodiment.

  Specifically, in the battle part processing unit 140, as shown in FIG. 16, the configuration of the battle part processing unit 140 of the first embodiment includes an item change receiving unit 145, an item comparison unit 146, and an item change unit 147. Is added. Since other configurations are all the same as those in the first embodiment, description thereof will be omitted.

  The item change accepting unit 145, the item comparing unit 146, and the item changing unit 147 are functions for accepting the change of the participating item extracted by the participating item extracting unit 142, and for the participating item automatically extracted by the server, the virtual user This gives the opportunity to change participating items.

  The item change receiving unit 145 is a function of receiving a change of a participating item from each virtual user after the item extracting unit 142 extracts an item. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the item change accepting unit 145 displays a change button next to the “Dagger” of the participating item 53a in the display field of the user A in the battle participant list image 50 described in FIG. 55, and accepts a change in the participation item of the virtual user by a tap operation of the button by the real user.

  In the competition participant list image 50 of FIG. 17, only the user A column is indicated by a thick frame, but the image displayed on the terminal 3 is a change button only for the real user who operates the virtual user. In this case, it is desirable to use the upper column for the user and the middle and lower columns for other virtual users.

  Based on the selection of the change button 55, the item change receiving unit 145 extracts and displays the owned item of the user A from the owned item data table 222 shown in FIG. An image to be displayed on the display unit 32 of the terminal 3 is generated by requesting selection of an item or arbitrarily selecting an item to be changed.

  The item comparison unit 146 compares predetermined parameters attached to the participation item and the change target item based on the change reception of the participation item as described above. For example, in FIG. 17, when the participation item 53a of the user A is “dagger” and this is the item ID “I001” in the item data table 211 shown in FIG. In the owned item data table 222 of b), instead of “I001” of the owned item ID1 of the user ID “U001”, “I007” of the owned item ID2 is selected as the item to be changed. In this case, the item comparison unit 146 compares the parameters assigned to the item IDs “I001” and “I007” with reference to the item data table 211. That is, the level of superiority or inferiority such as the attack power or defense power of these items and the rarity of the items is compared.

  Here, if the parameter to be compared is the item rarity, the item ID “I001” is “SR” indicating S rare, and “I007” is also “SR” indicating S rare. The item comparison unit 146 determines that the parameter is equal to or higher than the parameter of the participating item.

  The item changing unit 147 performs processing for changing a participating item to a change target item based on the determination of the item comparing unit 146 as described above.

(2) Effect Next, the item change reception process by the item change reception part 145, the item comparison part 146, and the item change part 147 is demonstrated using FIG. This item change acceptance process is executed after the participation item extraction process S2 and before the battle progress process S3 in the battle part process in the battle part processing unit 140 in FIG.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18, first, the item change receiving unit 145 determines whether or not a change of a participating item has been received from each virtual user (step S501). That is, the item change receiving unit 145 determines whether or not an operation for changing the item of the real user on the terminal 3 has been performed based on the operation data from the operation data input unit 110. More specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 17, the item change accepting unit 145 displays “dagger” of the participating item 53a in the display field of the user A of the competitive participant list image 50 described in FIG. Next, a change button 55 is provided, and a change in the virtual user's participation item is accepted by a tap operation of the button by a real user.

  The item change accepting unit 145 repeats the process until the change of the participating item is accepted (step S501: NO), and when the change of the participating item is accepted (step S501: YES), based on the selection of the change button 55, A change item determination process is performed (step S502). Specifically, the owned item of the user A in FIG. 17 is extracted from the owned item data table 222 shown in FIG. 10B and displayed, and the virtual user is requested to select the item to be changed, or arbitrarily An item to be changed is selected, and an image to be displayed on the display unit 32 of the terminal 3 is generated.

  Subsequently, the item comparison unit 146 extracts predetermined parameters attached to the participation item and the item to be changed based on the change reception of the participation item as described above (step S503).

  For example, in FIG. 17, when the participation item 53a of the user A is “dagger” and this is the item ID “I001” in the item data table 211 shown in FIG. In the owned item data table 222 of b), instead of “I001” of the owned item ID1 of the user ID “U001”, “I007” of the owned item ID2 is selected as the item to be changed. In this case, the item comparison unit 146 refers to the item data table 211 and extracts parameters assigned to the item IDs “I001” and “I007”.

  Then, the item comparison unit 146 compares predetermined parameters attached to the participation item and the change target item (step S504). That is, the item comparison unit 146 compares the participation item and the change target item in terms of attack power or defense power, item rarity, and the like.

  Here, referring to FIG. 8, when the parameter of the item to be changed is the item rarity, the item ID “I001” is “SR” indicating S rare, and “I007” is also S rare. Therefore, the item comparison unit 146 determines that the parameter is equal to or higher than the parameter of the participating item (step S504: YES). In this case, the item changing unit 147 performs processing for changing the participating item to the item to be changed based on the determination of the item comparing unit 146 as described above (step S505), and thereafter ends the processing (END).

  On the other hand, in the item comparison unit 146, when the parameter of the item to be changed is not equal to the parameter of the participating item or lower than the parameter of the participating item (step S504: NO), the item changing unit 147 does not accept the item change. The process is terminated (END). In this case, it is preferable to display on the display unit 32 of the terminal 3 that it cannot be changed.

  In the present embodiment as described above, the item extraction unit selects an item for participating in a battle regardless of the user's intention. When this item is an item that the user is attached to, the room for item change is left for the user, and the change accepting unit accepts the item change. At that time, when the item comparison unit is a parameter of the participating item and the item to be changed, for example, when the item is a card, the item's attack power or defense power, the rarity of the item or the level information, etc. In comparison, when the parameter of the item to be changed is equal to or higher than the parameter of the participating item, that is, when the user has extracted an item that is equal to or better than the item extracted by the item extraction unit, Allow changes. By such an item change reception part and an item comparison part, it can be set as the game which reflected the user's intention, ensuring the fairness of a battle | competition.

  In the above embodiment, when the user extracts an item equivalent to or better than the item extracted by the item extraction unit, the item change is allowed, but the present invention is limited to such an aspect. I can't. For example, when the parameter of the item to be changed selected by the user is lower than the parameter of the item participation item extracted by the item extraction unit, that is, when the user extracts an item inferior to the item extracted by the item extraction unit, Instead of ending the processing as in the above-described aspect, a penalty such as a reduction in attack power may be given while accepting item changes.

3. Third Embodiment Subsequently, an example of the configuration and operation of a game system G in which a game server according to a third embodiment is incorporated will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20.

(1) Configuration The game system G of the present embodiment is improved in the configuration of the game processing unit 130, particularly the battle part processing unit 140, of the arithmetic processing device 13 that configures the game server 1 shown in the first embodiment. This is an added embodiment.

  Specifically, in the battle part processing unit 140, as shown in FIG. 19, an superiority / inferiority determination unit 148 is added to the configuration of the battle part processing unit 140 of the first embodiment, and the superiority / inferiority determination unit 148 is used. A group data table 223 for collecting data is provided. These configurations are executed as the “participation item extraction process” in step S2 shown as the battle part process in FIG. Therefore, the other configurations other than the above-described configuration and the “participant acceptance process” in step S1 in FIG. 11, the “match progress process” in step S3, and the “reward grant process” in step S4 are the first Since it is the same as that of embodiment, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  Here, in this embodiment, in addition to the conditions in the first and second embodiments, the definition of the battle is different. That is, in the first and second embodiments, “match” is a game play in which a plurality of real users operate and advance their own operation target virtual users, and the virtual users compete for results. It was defined as an embodiment. In the present embodiment, this is further limited, and it is assumed that the “match” is performed by a plurality of virtual users divided into a plurality of groups.

  This group is a group of virtual users generally referred to as “guilds” in social games, and it is possible to form a group of a plurality of virtual users in advance from the beginning of the game, or a plurality of users for each “match”. It is good also as an aspect which forms a group with the participation request to other competition. In addition, a battle is performed as a plurality of groups competing for victory or defeat for each group. Typically, two groups are confronted with each other, but includes a mode in which three or more groups are performed.

  The above group information is stored in the above-mentioned group data table 223 for each group. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, the user IDs of the virtual users belonging to the respective groups A to N are collectively stored for each group. Note that the management of virtual users belonging to a group is not limited to the case where such a group data table is provided, but in the user basic data table 221 shown in FIG. It is also possible to manage.

  Based on the above, the superiority or inferiority determination unit 148 is a function for determining superiority or inferiority of a plurality of groups based on attribute information of users belonging to a plurality of groups performing a battle. Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the superiority / inferiority determination unit 148 will be described. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the “match” is performed in two groups.

  The superiority or inferiority determination unit 148 extracts information on the virtual users belonging to each of the two groups performing the battle, for example, the group A and the group B, when performing the superiority / inferiority determination of the two groups performing the battle. Determine the superiority or inferiority of the group based on

  Specifically, the number of virtual users belonging to the group, the level of the virtual users shown in the user basic data table 221 in FIG. Determine the superiority or inferiority.

  Typically, the number of virtual users belonging to group A or group B is compared. In this case, the group data table 223 in FIG. 20 is accessed, and information on the number of persons in each group A or group B is extracted. Here, if group A belongs to six users A to F and group B belongs to user G to user K, group A: group B is 6: 5. It is determined that the number of group A is large and excellent, and group B is inferior.

  Also, for example, if the parameter for determining superiority or inferiority is the level of the virtual user, the level information is extracted from the user basic data table 221 of FIG. Or the total number is divided by the number of virtual users to calculate an average value. Similarly, for all virtual users in group B, the level information is extracted from the user basic data table 221 of FIG. 10A, and these are summed, or the total number is divided by the number of virtual users, and the average value is calculated. calculate. Then, the numbers or averages of the total levels are compared to determine superiority or inferiority. Similarly, a grand total or average value of attack power or defense power can be calculated, and superiority or inferiority can be determined from those numbers.

  The item extraction unit 142 determines and extracts participating items from the items owned by users belonging to each group based on the determined superiority or inferiority.

  Typically, when dominance is determined from the number of virtual users belonging to group A or group B, if group A: group B is 6: 5, the number of virtual users in group A that are superior Minutes of participating items will be extracted from each group as participating items. That is, since Group A extracts 6 items from 6 people, one participating item is extracted from each virtual user, and Group B extracts 6 items from 5 people, so each virtual user Extract the participating items one by one and extract another participating item from one person. The virtual user who extracts the sixth participation item may be, for example, a user having the role of group head such as a guild master, may be selected arbitrarily by lottery, and is determined by recruiting applicants. You may do it.

  Also, for example, if the parameter for determining superiority or inferiority is the level of the virtual user, when a virtual user belonging to the superior group participates in the battle, select an item suitable for submission from both groups. To extract. This extraction method is the same as the process performed by the participating item extraction unit 142 in the first embodiment. That is, the criteria for extracting participating items are performed based on virtual users belonging to a superior group. Similarly, when the parameter for determining superiority or inferiority is a total or average value of attack power or defense power, participation items are extracted on the basis of virtual users belonging to an excellent group.

(2) Effects Next, the superiority / inferiority determination unit 148 and the participation item extraction process (step S2 in FIG. 11) in the participation item extraction unit 142 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, the superiority / inferiority determination processing in the superiority / inferiority determination unit 148 will be described assuming that the superiority / inferiority determination parameter is the number of virtual users belonging to the group for two groups.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the superiority / inferiority determination unit 148 first extracts the number information of the virtual users of the two groups from the group data table 223 shown in FIG. 20 (step S601). Then, the number of virtual users in the two groups is compared (step S602). For example, when comparing the number of virtual users belonging to group A or group B, group A belongs to six users A to F, and group B belongs to five users G to K. If there is, it is determined that group A: group B is 6: 5, the number of group A is large and excellent, and group B is inferior.

  Subsequently, the superiority / inferiority determination unit 148 determines the number of participating items based on the number of virtual users in the large number of groups (step S603). In the case of the above example, since the group A is 6 people and the group B is 5 people, the number of participating items is determined to be 6.

  Based on this, the participation item extraction unit 142 executes the extraction process of the participation item in each group (step S604), and ends the process (END). In addition, about the participating item extraction process, the process of FIG. 13 is used.

  According to this embodiment as described above, the superiority or inferiority determination unit 148 determines the superiority or inferiority of a plurality of groups, and the participation item extraction rule in the item extraction unit 142 is determined from the determination result. By determining the superiority or inferiority of a plurality of groups in the item extraction, it is possible to provide a game in which any group can enjoy a battle by adjusting the difference in the battle strength between the groups. For example, even if there is a difference in level or attack power between the groups that play against each other, a weak group can get an item held by a strong group user if they win the battle, and a strong group can get items from a weak group. There is a high possibility of winning while gaining. In this way, by adjusting the difference in competitive power between groups, not by adjusting the attack power etc., by participating items and reward items, it is possible to realize a more fair battle and actively play the game An environment to play can be created.

  In addition, the superiority / inferiority determination unit 148 determines superiority or inferiority between groups based on the number of users belonging to the group. A group with a small number of users contributes many items in the battle, but reward items can be obtained for the number of people in the large group, so that motivation for victory can be increased. On the other hand, a group with a large number of users is more likely to win a battle because it has several advantages, but can acquire items contributed by winning. By such a method, the difference of the competitive power between the groups in the battle can be adjusted, and the motivation for the battle of the user having a difference in the competitive strength can be increased.

4). Other Embodiments In the above-described embodiment, when a virtual user who participated in a “match” selects a participating item that he / she extracted as a reward, a special reward granting process (FIG. 14, step S304) is performed. . As another aspect of the embodiment, instead of the special reward giving process (S304), a normal reward giving process (FIG. 14, step S303) in which the item extracted by itself is given as it is may be executed. . That is to say, regardless of which participation item is selected, the normal reward giving process may be executed regardless of which participation item is selected. If it does in this way, the possibility that the participating virtual user will select the participating item extracted from his own owned item as a reward item decreases, and fluidization of the owned item advances. In such an aspect, the exchange of items owned by the virtual user progresses for each battle, so that the chance of the virtual user coming into contact with a new item is increased and the variation of the game can be enjoyed more.

  In addition, it is described that a reward is given to all virtual users who participated in the “match” (FIG. 15, step S403 or S404). It is good also as an aspect which provides a reward. In this aspect, participating items are extracted according to the attributes of the virtual user. For example, a strong or experienced virtual user loses the battle because participating items are extracted according to strength and proficiency. In such a case, there is a risk that an item with a high degree of rarity or level will be taken by the winner, and it can be a battle to simply exchange a strong item for a weak item. Therefore, it is difficult for a virtual user who is strong or veteran to find motivation to participate in the battle. In this respect, as a result of the match, by collecting rewards only for the top performers, a strong or veteran virtual user has the opportunity to acquire many items, and the motivation for participating in the match is enhanced. On the other hand, even if a virtual user is not very strong, if you can defeat the strong virtual user by participating in the battle, there is a possibility that you can acquire items that you can not own with your own attributes, From this point, it is possible to have a willingness to participate in a match that has won one or eight wins.

  In addition, regarding the granting of a “match” reward, it is possible to select items to be acquired in order from a real user with good results. However, the reward granting unit 123 determines, for example, that a user with better results has higher value. The reward may be automatically distributed so that the reward can be obtained. In this way, strong or veteran virtual users can participate in the battle, exhibit their attributes and win reliably, and get valuable items as rewards. Can participate in.

  In addition, although it is described that the correction process according to the participation item extracted from the participating virtual user is performed for the progress process of the “match” (FIG. 14, step S301), the participation process is performed without performing such correction. Processing may be performed so that all the virtual users who have performed the “match” under fair conditions.
