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

  However, even if the user wants to dispose of the reserved character before acquiring it, the user must perform the acquisition operation and possess the character once, so that the user is forced to perform a complicated operation.

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

The main invention of the present invention to solve the above problems is
A user information storage unit that stores the user information that the user has acquired as a possessed character, and the user information that is set as a reserved character that can be acquired without being acquired by the user is associated with each user;

A disposal unit that disposes of the possessed character by canceling the setting as the possessed character in the user information when the user performs an operation requesting the disposal of the possessed character, and the user requests disposal of the reserved character. A disposal unit that disposes of the reserved character by canceling the setting as the reserved character in the user information without allowing the user to acquire the reserved character once.
An information processing apparatus characterized by comprising:
According to such an information processing apparatus, when a user wants to dispose of a reserved character before acquiring the reserved character, the user can dispose of the reserved character without having it once. Therefore, the suspended character can be easily disposed of.

The user information stored in the user information storage unit has an upper limit number of possessed characters,
A game progress unit that controls the progress of a game that allows a user to acquire a character, and if the user's possessed character has not reached the upper limit, the game is allowed to be played, and the user's possessed character has the upper limit. It is desirable to include a game progression unit that restricts the play of the game when the number has reached.
Thereby, when the user's possessed character reaches the upper limit, the play of the game is restricted, so that it is not necessary to possess more characters. In addition, when the user's possessed character reaches the upper limit, the user cannot possess any more characters. In that case, even if the user performs an acquisition operation, the user cannot hold the reserved character, and the reserved character cannot be disposed of. On the other hand, according to such an information processing apparatus, even if the user's possessed character reaches the upper limit number, the reserved character can be disposed as it is without possessing it once.

The user information stored in the user information storage unit has an upper limit number of possessed characters,
When the user's possessed character has reached the upper limit and the user performs an operation requesting disposal of the reserved character, the disposal unit does not allow the user to acquire the reserved character and It is desirable to dispose of the reserved character by canceling the setting as the reserved character.
Thus, when the user's possessed character reaches the upper limit, the user cannot possess any more characters. In that case, even if the user performs an acquisition operation, the user cannot hold the reserved character, and the reserved character cannot be disposed of. On the other hand, according to such an information processing apparatus, even if the user's possessed character reaches the upper limit number, the reserved character can be disposed as it is without possessing it once.

Thereby, since it is not necessary for the user to possess another character by disposing of the possessed character or the reserved character, the possessed character and the retained character can be disposed of without worrying about the number of possessed characters.

In addition, a game progression unit that executes a trade process for exchanging characters between users,
The disposal unit disposes of the reserved character by canceling the setting as the reserved character in the user information without causing the user to acquire the reserved character once when the user performs an operation for requesting the trading of the reserved character. It is desirable to perform.
As a result, the user can treat his / her reserved character as a trading target, and can dispose of the reserved character without having it once.

In addition, it is desirable that a notification unit for notifying that the reserved character of the user is a character that another user wants to acquire by trade is desirable.
This allows the user to easily dispose of his reserved character by handing it over to others.

Further, it is preferable that the acquisition unit restricts the reserved character from being acquired by the user after a predetermined period.
As a result, the user acquires or disposes of the reserved character within a predetermined period, so that the user actively plays the game.

  When the acquisition unit 202 refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and determines that the total number of possessed characters possessed by the user has reached the upper limit, the reception shown in FIG. Changing the display mode of the acquisition button 553 on the mail screen 550 (for example, gray out display) to make it impossible to select, or restricting the reserved character from being acquired even if the user selects the acquisition button 553 Is also possible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  The disposal unit 203 in the present embodiment refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and identifies the user information of the user. Then, the disposal unit 203 holds the specified user information without setting the reserved character as a possessed character (without allowing the user to acquire the reserved character once). By canceling the setting as a character, the reserved character is disposed of by the sale.

  In the present embodiment, the game progression unit 201 updates the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and sells the reserved character, thereby adding a predetermined amount of coins to the user's possessed coins. In this way, the game progression unit 201 causes the user to acquire “coin” which is an alternative to the character by selling the reserved character.

  Thereby, since a new character is not acquired as a substitute instead of sale, even if the user's possessed character reaches the upper limit number, the reserved character can be disposed of by sale without hesitation.

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

  If the result of this determination is that a game operation requesting the use of the reserved character for reinforcement synthesis has not been received from the user (step S18: NO), the processing proceeds to step S20 described later. On the other hand, when a game operation requesting the use of the reserved character for reinforcement synthesis is received from the user (step S18: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S19.

  Next, when the game progress unit 201 of the server device 20 receives a game operation requesting the use of the reserved character in the reinforcement composition, the game progression unit 201 executes the composition process of the reinforcement composition using the reserved character as a composition material. (Step S19).

  Specifically, the game progression unit 201 of the server device 20 displays the base character selection screen for performing the reinforcement composition when the composition button 555 is selected by the user on the received mail screen 550 shown in FIG. 10, the display control unit 205 is requested to execute screen display control. When the display control unit 205 of the server device 20 is requested by the game progression unit 201 to execute screen display control, the display control unit 205 acquires the user's possessed character from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222. Thereafter, the display control unit 205 of the server device 20 performs control to display a base character selection screen on which the user's possessed characters are listed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10.

  When the base character selection screen is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10, the user performs an operation for designating one of the base characters on the client terminal 10. When the user performs an operation of designating one of the base characters, the operation accepting unit 150 of the client terminal 10 accepts the operation content based on the designation of the base character by the user. Then, the request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 makes a request to the server device 20 based on the operation content received by the operation reception unit 150 from the user.

  When the game progression unit 201 of the server device 20 receives the operation content from the client terminal 10, the game progression unit 201 performs reinforcement synthesis for increasing the ability parameter of the designated base character. At this time, the game progression unit 201 of the server device 20 requests the disposal unit 203 to perform a process for releasing the reserved character by using it as a material for reinforcement synthesis. When the disposal unit 203 of the server device 20 receives a request from the game progression unit 201, the disposal unit 203 performs disposal of the reserved character that becomes a composite material by the reinforcement synthesis.

  The disposal unit 203 in the present embodiment refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and identifies the user information of the user. Then, the disposal unit 203 holds the specified user information without setting the reserved character as a possessed character (without allowing the user to acquire the reserved character once). By canceling the setting as a character, the reserved character that becomes the composite material is disposed of by the enhanced composition.

  In the present embodiment, the game progress unit 201 updates the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and uses the reserved character as a material for reinforcement synthesis, so that the ability parameter of the designated base character is used. Raise. In this way, the game progression unit 201 causes the user to acquire “base character parameters” which are alternatives other than the character by performing the reinforcement synthesis using the reserved character.

  As a result, a new character will not be acquired as an alternative to enhanced synthesis, so even if the user's possessed character reaches the upper limit, the reserved character can be disposed of by enhanced synthesis without hesitation .

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

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

  Next, when the game progress unit 201 of the server device 20 receives a game operation for requesting a trade of the reserved character from the user, the game progressing unit 201 executes a trade process using the reserved character for the trade (step S21).

  Specifically, the game progression unit 201 of the server device 20 selects a character desired to be acquired by trade when the trade button 556 is selected by the user on the received mail screen 550 shown in FIG. The display control unit 205 is requested to execute screen display control so that the desired character selection screen is displayed on the client terminal 10. When requested to execute screen display control from the game progression unit 201, the display control unit 205 of the server device 20 displays a list of characters that can be acquired by trade based on the character information stored in the character information storage unit 221. The desired character selection screen is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10.

  FIG. 11 is a configuration diagram illustrating an example of character information. This character information includes a character ID, name, rarity, ability parameter, number of coins, evolution character, material character, and the like as items. The character ID is information for uniquely identifying various characters including a base character and a material character. The name is information indicating a character name. The rarity is information indicating the rare value of the character. Here, one of a plurality of levels (for example, 5 levels) of rarity is set. The ability parameter is information indicating the ability of the character. Here, ability values such as attack, defense, and HP are set. The number of coins is information indicating the number of coins corresponding to the value of the character. The evolution character is information indicating an evolved character that is a synthesis destination when evolution synthesis is performed. Two or more types of evolution characters can be set for one character. The material character is information indicating a character that is a composite material that is associated in advance with a character that is a composition source. This material character becomes a character required for the evolutionary synthesis of the base character.

  When the desired character selection screen is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10, the user performs an operation on the client terminal 10 for designating any character desired to be acquired through trade. When the user performs an operation of designating any desired character, the operation accepting unit 150 of the client terminal 10 accepts the operation content based on the designation of the desired character by the user. Then, the request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 makes a request to the server device 20 based on the operation content received by the operation reception unit 150 from the user.

  When the game progress unit 201 of the server device 20 receives the operation content from the client terminal 10, the game progress unit 201 performs a trade setting so that the designated desired character can be acquired by a trade with the reserved character. At this time, the game progression unit 201 of the server device 20 requests the disposal unit 203 to perform processing for releasing the reserved character according to the trade setting. When the disposal unit 203 of the server device 20 receives a request from the game progression unit 201, the disposal unit 203 performs disposal of the pending character in the trade.

  The disposal unit 203 in the present embodiment refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and identifies the user information of the user. Then, the disposal unit 203 holds the specified user information without setting the reserved character as a possessed character (without allowing the user to acquire the reserved character once). By canceling the setting as a character, the reserved character is disposed of in the trade setting.

  The game progression unit 201 in the present embodiment refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and identifies the user information of the user. Then, the game progression unit 201 updates the trade setting information set in the specified user information, updates the trade information stored in the trade information storage unit 225, and automatically uses the reserved character as the exchange source character. The desired character designated by the user is set as the exchange destination character.

  FIG. 12 is a configuration diagram illustrating an example of trade setting information. This trade setting information includes items such as a setting frame, an exchange source character, and an exchange destination character. The setting frame is information for specifying each setting frame in which a character to be traded can be set. Here, since five setting frames are provided, it is possible to set up to five characters to be exchanged by trade. The exchange source character is information indicating a character to be handed over to the other user (that is, an unnecessary character that the user wants to dispose of). The exchange destination character is information indicating a character that the user wants to transfer from the other user (that is, a desired character that the user wants to acquire).

  FIG. 13 is a configuration diagram illustrating an example of trade information. The trade information includes items such as trade ID, recruiting user, exchange source character, exchange destination character, and tradeable period. The trade ID is information for uniquely identifying each trade. The recruiting user is information indicating a user who is recruiting a partner user who can respond to the exchange of his / her exchange source character and the partner's exchange destination character. The tradeable period is information indicating a period during which a trade can be performed between users.

  In this way, when a user performs an operation to dispose of a reserved character, the reserved character is sold without being acquired (owned) once, used as a material for reinforced synthesis, or exhibited in a trade. It will be possible to dispose of them. Therefore, if the user wishes to dispose of the reserved character before acquiring it and possessing it, it is not necessary to possess the reserved character for the disposal, so it is easy to retain it while saving time and effort. The character can be disposed of.

In particular, the embodiments described below are also included in the present invention.

<Trade target>
In the above-described embodiment, the case where one's character (exchange source character) and another person's character (exchange destination character) are traded is described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is possible to trade one's character with another person's coin (the number of coins corresponding to that character).

<Disposal of suspended characters>
In the above-described embodiment, only when the user's possessed character has reached the upper limit, when the user performs an operation to dispose of the retained character, the retained character is not acquired and possessed. It may be possible to dispose of the product by selling it, using it as a reinforced synthetic material, or setting a trade.
Specifically, in the received mail screen 550 shown in FIG. 10, when the user's possessed character has not reached the upper limit, only the acquisition button 553 is displayed, while the user's possessed character has reached the upper limit. If so, a sale button 554, a composition button 555, and a trade button 556 may be displayed together. Then, when the user's possessed character has reached the upper limit, the disposal unit 203 performs an operation for requesting disposal of the reserved character (any one of the sale button 554, the composite button 555, and the trade button 556). When is selected), the user is not allowed to acquire the reserved character, and the user character is set to cancel the setting as the reserved character. As a result, even if you can no longer have any more characters, you will be able to dispose of the reserved character without having it as a possessed character. Will be able to do.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the user can select a plurality of received mails at a time on the mail list screen 500 shown in FIG. 9 so that the reserved characters corresponding to the received mails can be disposed by a batch operation. It is also possible to make it. As a result, the reserved character can be disposed of without any hassle.

<Acquisition of reserved characters>
In the above-described embodiment, the acquisition unit 202 opens a mail for a predetermined period (for example, 100 days after receiving an e-mail) when a game operation requesting acquisition of the hold character is performed by the user. It is also possible to limit the reserved character from being acquired by the user by reaching 100 days from the time when it is possible to acquire 100 days. As a result, the user acquires or disposes of the reserved character before the predetermined period elapses, so that the reserved character is hardly left unattended.

<Play restrictions>
In the above-described embodiment, the game progression unit 201 allows the user to play various games when the user's possessed character has not reached the upper limit number, while the user's possessed character has reached the upper limit number. In this case, it is possible to restrict the user from playing a battle game or a lottery game that can be acquired by the character. This eliminates the need to play a battle game, a lottery game, or the like in order to acquire more characters when the character cannot be held any more. Also, in such a case, even if the user performs an acquisition operation, the user can no longer hold the reserved character as a possessed character, so if the user performs a disposal operation, the user can dispose of the reserved character without possessing it once. The merit that can be done can be increased.

<Notice of trade>
In the above-described embodiment, when the game progression unit 201 of the server device 20 sets a user's reserved character as an exchange source character in the trade setting, the reserved character is used as an exchange destination character that another user wants to acquire in the trade. If set, the notification unit 204 can be requested to execute notification processing. When the notification unit 204 of the server device 20 is requested to execute the notification process from the game progress unit 201, the notification unit 204 may also send an email to the user indicating that the other user wants to acquire the reserved character by trade. Is possible. This allows the user to easily dispose of his reserved character by handing it over to others.

<Coin consumption during trading>
In the above-described embodiment, it is possible to consume a predetermined amount of coins from the user's possessed coins when setting the trading of the reserved character. As a result, if the number of possessed coins is insufficient, the user cannot trade the reserved character, and thus excessive trade is suppressed.

<Reward Receiving Screen>
In the above-described embodiment, as an example of notifying the user that the reward can be acquired via the reward receiving screen, the notification unit 204 can acquire the reward for the user who has established the reward acquisition condition. In the above description, a case has been described in which the user is notified of this via the received mail screen 550 when the mail is received, but the present invention is not limited to this. .
For example, the notification unit 204 can also notify the user via a reward receiving screen without sending an email. Specifically, after the reward is acquired, the notifying unit 204 requests the display control unit 205 to establish a reward acquisition condition, and a reward acquisition list screen (screen for displaying a list of rewards for each acquisition condition). Is displayed. Then, when the user selects one of the rewards (the one for which the acquisition condition is satisfied) from the reward acquisition list screen, the screen is shifted to the reward receiving screen. The reward receiving screen, like the received mail screen 550, includes a reserved character display area, an acquisition button, a sale button, a composite button, and a trade button.
