The server 200 includes a processor 20, a memory 21, a storage 22, a communication IF 23, and an input/output IF 24. These components included in the server 200 are electrically connected to each other by a communication bus.

The user terminal 100 (computer, information processing device) may be a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, a feature phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or a tablet computer. The user terminal 100 may be a game device suitable for game play. As illustrated, the user terminal 100 includes a processor 10, a memory 11, a storage 12, a communication interface (IF) 13, an input/output IF 14, a touch screen 15 (display unit 152), a camera 17, and a distance measuring sensor. 18 and. These components included in the user terminal 100 are electrically connected to each other by a communication bus. Note that the user terminal 100 may include an input/output IF 14 to which a display (display unit 152) configured separately from the main body of the user terminal 100 can be connected instead of or in addition to the touch screen 15.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may be configured to be able to communicate with one or more controllers 1020. The controller 1020 establishes communication with the user terminal 100 according to a communication standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). The controller 1020 may have one or more buttons or the like, and transmits an output value based on a user's input operation to the buttons or the like to the user terminal 100. Further, the controller 1020 may have various sensors such as an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor, and outputs output values of the various sensors to the user terminal 100.

The user terminal 100 may include the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 instead of or in addition to the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18.

It is desirable that the user terminal 100 causes a user who uses the controller 1020 to input user identification information such as a name or a login ID of the user via the controller 1020, for example, at the start of the game. This allows the user terminal 100 to associate the controller 1020 with the user, and specifies which user the output value belongs to based on the transmission source (controller 1020) of the received output value. be able to.

When the user terminal 100 communicates with the plurality of controllers 1020, each controller 1020 is held by each user, so that the one user terminal 100 does not communicate with other devices such as the server 200 via the network 2. Multiplayer can be realized with. In addition, each user terminal 100 communicates with each other according to a wireless standard such as a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) standard (communicatively connects without passing through the server 200), thereby realizing multi-play locally by a plurality of user terminals 100. You can also do it. When the above-mentioned multiplay is locally realized by one user terminal 100, the user terminal 100 may further include at least a part of various functions of the server 200, which will be described later. When the above-described multiplay is locally realized by a plurality of user terminals 100, the plurality of user terminals 100 may be provided with various functions of the server 200, which will be described later, in a distributed manner.

Note that the user terminal 100 may communicate with the server 200 even when the above-described multiplay is realized locally. For example, information indicating a play result such as a score or a win/loss in a game and user identification information may be associated with each other and transmitted to the server 200.

Further, the controller 1020 may be configured to be attachable to and detachable from the user terminal 100. In this case, a coupling part with the controller 1020 may be provided on at least one surface of the housing of the user terminal 100. When the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 are connected by wire via the connecting unit, the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 send and receive signals via wire.

As shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may accept mounting of a storage medium 1030 such as an external memory card via the input/output IF 14. As a result, the user terminal 100 can read the program and data recorded in the storage medium 1030. The program recorded in the storage medium 1030 is, for example, a game program.

The user terminal 100 may store the game program acquired by communicating with an external device such as the server 200 in the memory 11 of the user terminal 100, or the game program acquired by reading from the storage medium 1030 in the memory 11. May be stored in.

As described above, the user terminal 100 includes the communication IF 13, the input/output IF 14, the touch screen 15, the camera 17, and the distance measuring sensor 18 as an example of a mechanism for inputting information to the user terminal 100. Each of the above-described units as a mechanism for inputting can be regarded as an operation unit configured to receive an input operation of a user.

For example, when the operation unit is configured by at least one of the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18, the operation unit detects an object 1010 near the user terminal 100 and performs an input operation from the detection result of the object. Identify. As an example, the user's hand as the object 1010, a marker having a predetermined shape, or the like is detected, and the input operation is specified based on the color, shape, movement, or type of the object 1010 obtained as a detection result. It More specifically, when the user's hand is detected from the image captured by the camera 17, the user terminal 100 operates the gesture (a series of movements of the user's hand) detected based on the captured image by the user's input operation. As specified and accepted. The captured image may be a still image or a moving image.

Alternatively, when the operation unit includes the touch screen 15, the user terminal 100 identifies and accepts the user's operation performed on the input unit 151 of the touch screen 15 as the user's input operation. Alternatively, when the operation unit is configured by the communication IF 13, the user terminal 100 identifies and receives a signal (for example, output value) transmitted from the controller 1020 as a user input operation. Alternatively, when the operation unit is configured by the input/output IF 14, a signal output from an input device (not shown) different from the controller 1020 connected to the input/output IF 14 is specified and accepted as the user's input operation.

(Hardware components of each device)
The processor 10 controls the operation of the entire user terminal 100. The processor 20 controls the operation of the entire server 200. The processors 10 and 20 include a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), and a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).

The processor 10 reads a program from the storage 12 described later and loads it into the memory 11 described later. The processor 20 reads a program from a storage 22 described later and loads it into a memory 21 described later. The processor 10 and the processor 20 execute the expanded program.

The memories 11 and 21 are main storage devices. The memories 11 and 21 are storage devices such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The memory 11 provides a work area to the processor 10 by temporarily storing a program and various data read by the processor 10 from a storage 12 described later. The memory 11 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 10 operates according to a program. The memory 21 provides a work area to the processor 20 by temporarily storing various programs and data read by the processor 20 from a storage 22 described later. The memory 21 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 20 operates according to the program.

In the present embodiment, the program may be a game program for realizing the game on the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation between the user terminal 100 and the server 200. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation of a plurality of user terminals 100. In addition, the various data includes data regarding a game such as user information and game information, and instructions or notifications transmitted and received between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 or between a plurality of user terminals 100.

The storages 12 and 22 are auxiliary storage devices. The storages 12 and 22 are configured by a storage device such as a flash memory or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). Various data relating to the game are stored in the storage 12 and the storage 22.

The communication IF 13 controls transmission/reception of various data in the user terminal 100. The communication IF 23 controls transmission/reception of various data in the server 200. The communication IFs 13 and 23 control, for example, communication using a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), wired LAN, wireless LAN, or Internet communication via a mobile phone network, and communication using short-range wireless communication.

The input/output IF 14 is an interface for the user terminal 100 to receive data input, and is an interface for the user terminal 100 to output data. The input/output IF 14 may input/output data via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) or the like. The input/output IF 14 may include, for example, a physical button of the user terminal 100, a camera, a microphone, a speaker, or the like. The input/output IF 24 of the server 200 is an interface for the server 200 to receive data input, and is an interface for the server 200 to output data. The input/output IF 24 may include, for example, an input unit which is an information input device such as a mouse or a keyboard, and a display unit 152 which is a device for displaying and outputting an image.

The touch screen 15 of the user terminal 100 is an electronic component that combines the input unit 151 and the display unit 152. The input unit 151 is, for example, a touch-sensitive device, and is configured by, for example, a touch pad. The display unit 152 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, or the like.

The input unit 151 detects a position at which a user operation (mainly a physical contact operation such as a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, and a tap operation) is input on the input surface, and inputs information indicating the position. It has the function of transmitting as a signal. The input unit 151 may include a touch sensing unit (not shown). The touch sensing unit may be of any type such as a capacitance type or a resistance film type.

Although not shown, the user terminal 100 may include one or more sensors for specifying the holding posture of the user terminal 100. This sensor may be, for example, an acceleration sensor or an angular velocity sensor. When the user terminal 100 includes a sensor, the processor 10 can also specify the holding posture of the user terminal 100 from the output of the sensor and perform processing according to the holding posture. For example, the processor 10 may perform vertical screen display for displaying a vertically long image on the display unit 152 when the user terminal 100 is held vertically. On the other hand, when the user terminal 100 is held in the horizontal orientation, a landscape image may be displayed on the display unit 152. In this way, the processor 10 may be capable of switching between the vertical screen display and the horizontal screen display according to the holding posture of the user terminal 100.

The camera 17 includes an image sensor and the like, and converts a light incident from a lens into an electric signal to generate a captured image.

The distance measuring sensor 18 is a sensor that measures the distance to the measurement target. The distance measuring sensor 18 includes, for example, a light source that emits pulse-converted light and a light receiving element that receives the light. The distance measuring sensor 18 measures the distance to the measurement object by the light emission timing from the light source and the light reception timing of the reflected light generated by the light emitted from the light source reflected on the measurement object. The distance measuring sensor 18 may include a light source that emits light having directivity.

Here, an example in which the user terminal 100 receives the detection result of detecting the object 1010 near the user terminal 100 by using the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 as the user's input operation will be further described. The camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided, for example, on the side surface of the housing of the user terminal 100. A distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided near the camera 17. As the camera 17, for example, an infrared camera can be used. In this case, the camera 17 may be provided with a lighting device that radiates infrared rays, a filter that blocks visible light, and the like. Thereby, the detection accuracy of the object based on the image captured by the camera 17 can be further improved regardless of whether it is outdoors or indoors.

The processor 10 may perform, for example, one or more of the following processes (1) to (5) on the image captured by the camera 17. (1) The processor 10 specifies whether or not the user's hand is included in the captured image by performing image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17. The processor 10 may use, for example, a technique such as pattern matching as the analysis technique used in the above-described image recognition processing. (2) Further, the processor 10 detects the gesture of the user from the shape of the hand of the user. The processor 10 specifies the number of fingers of the user (the number of extended fingers) from the shape of the user's hand detected from the captured image, for example. The processor 10 further identifies a gesture made by the user from the identified number of fingers. For example, when the number of fingers is 5, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a “par” gesture. In addition, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a gesture of “goo” when the number of fingers is 0 (no finger is detected). Further, when the number of fingers is two, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a gesture of “cutting”. (3) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the image captured by the camera 17 to detect whether the user's finger is in a state where only the forefinger is raised or the user's finger makes a repulsive movement. .. (4) The processor 10 determines an object 1010 (such as a user's hand) near the user terminal 100 based on at least one of the image recognition result of the image captured by the camera 17 and the output value of the distance measuring sensor 18. ) And the user terminal 100 are detected. For example, the processor 10 determines whether the user's hand is near the user terminal 100 (for example, a distance less than a predetermined value) or far (for example, a predetermined value) depending on the size of the shape of the user's hand identified from the image captured by the camera 17. The above distance) is detected. If the captured image is a moving image, the processor 10 may detect whether the user's hand is approaching or moving away from the user terminal 100. (5) If it is determined that the distance between the user terminal 100 and the user's hand changes while the user's hand is detected, based on the image recognition result of the image captured by the camera 17, etc., the processor 10 recognizes that the user is shaking his hand in the shooting direction of the camera 17. When an object is detected or not detected by the distance measuring sensor 18 having a directivity stronger than the shooting range of the camera 17, the processor 10 determines that the user shakes his hand in a direction orthogonal to the shooting direction of the camera. recognize.

As described above, the processor 10 recognizes whether or not the user is holding his/her hand by the image recognition of the image captured by the camera 17 (whether the gesture is “Goo” or other gesture (for example, “Par”)). Or) is detected. The processor 10 also detects the shape of the user's hand and how the user is moving this hand. Further, the processor 10 detects whether the user is moving this hand close to or away from the user terminal 100. Such an operation can correspond to an operation using a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch screen, for example. The user terminal 100, for example, moves the pointer on the touch screen 15 in response to the movement of the user's hand, and detects the gesture “goo” of the user. In this case, the user terminal 100 recognizes that the user is continuing the selection operation. The continuation of the selection operation corresponds to, for example, maintaining the state where the mouse is clicked and pressed, or maintaining the state where the touch screen is touched and then touched. .. Further, when the user further moves his or her hand while the user's gesture “goo” is detected, the user terminal 100 determines such a series of gestures as an operation corresponding to the swipe operation (or the drag operation). You can also recognize. Further, when the user terminal 100 detects a gesture such that the user repels a finger based on the detection result of the user's hand from the image captured by the camera 17, the user terminal 100 clicks the gesture or taps the touch screen. It may be recognized as an operation corresponding to the operation.

(Functional configuration of the user terminal 100)
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the user terminal 100 included in the game system 1. The user terminal 100 may include a functional configuration (not shown) required when functioning as a general computer and a functional configuration required to realize a known function in a game.

The user terminal 100 has a function as an input device that receives a user's input operation and a function as an output device that outputs a game image or sound. The user terminal 100 functions as the control unit 110 and the storage unit 120 in cooperation with the processor 10, the memory 11, the storage 12, the communication IF 13, the input/output IF 14, and the like.

The storage unit 220 stores the game program 131, the game information 132, and the user information 133. The game program 131 is a game program executed by the user terminal 100. The game information 132 is data that the control unit 110 refers to when executing the game program 131. The user information 133 is data regarding a user's account.

The control unit 110 centrally controls the user terminal 100 by executing the game program 131 stored in the storage unit 120. For example, the control unit 110 advances the game according to the operation of the game program 131 and the user. Further, the control unit 110 communicates with the server 200 as needed to transmit and receive information while the game is in progress.

The control unit 110 functions as an operation reception unit 111, a quest execution unit 112, a rank management unit 113, a stamina recovery unit 114, an item addition unit 115, and a display control unit 116 according to the description of the game program 131. The control unit 110 can also function as other functional blocks (not shown) in order to progress the game depending on the nature of the game to be executed.

The operation receiving unit 111 receives an input operation of the user based on the output of the touch screen 15 (input unit 151). Specifically, the operation reception unit 111 detects that the user's finger or the like has approached the touch screen 15 as the coordinates of the coordinate system including the horizontal axis and the vertical axis of the surface forming the touch screen 15. For example, the operation receiving unit 111 receives an input operation on the input unit 151, detects the coordinates of the input position of the input operation, and specifies the type of the input operation. The operation receiving unit 111 identifies, as the type of input operation, for example, a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, a tap operation, or the like. Further, the operation receiving unit 111 detects that the touch input is released from the touch screen 15 when the continuously detected input is interrupted.

The operation reception unit 111 determines the user's operation on the touch screen 15. The operation accepting unit 111, for example, (1) "approach operation", (2) "release operation", (3) "tap operation", (4) "double tap operation", (5) "long press operation (long Touch operation), (6) "drag operation (swipe operation)", (7) "move operation", (8) "flick operation", and other user operations. The user operation determined by the operation reception unit 111 is not limited to the above. For example, when the touch screen 15 has a mechanism capable of detecting the amount of pressure that the user presses on the touch screen 15, the operation reception unit 111 determines the amount of pressure that the user has pressed.

(1) The “approaching operation” is an operation in which the user brings his or her finger closer to the touch screen 15. The touch screen 15 detects that the user's finger or the like has approached (including that the user's finger or the like has touched the touch screen 15), and controls a signal according to the detected coordinates of the touch screen 15. It is output to the unit 110. The control unit 110 determines that the state becomes the “touch-on state” when the approach is detected from the state in which the approach of the user's finger or the like to the touch screen 15 is not detected.

(2) “Release operation” is an operation for stopping the state in which the user is performing the approach operation on the touch screen 15. The operation receiving unit 111 determines that the user's operation is a “release operation” when the user releases the finger from the state where the user touches the touch screen 15 with the finger or the like. The control unit 110 determines that the state has changed from the “touch-on state” to the “touch-off state” when the state in which the approach of the user's finger or the like to the touch screen 15 is detected becomes the state in which the approach is not detected. To do.

(3) The "tap operation" is to perform a release operation at a position where the user has performed an approach operation of approaching the touch screen 15 with a finger or the like, and then performing the approach operation. The operation reception unit 111 outputs the touch screen 15 from a state in which the approach operation is not detected (a state in which the user's finger or the like is away from the touch screen 15 and the touch screen 15 does not detect the approach of the user's finger or the like). When it is detected that the user's finger or the like has approached, the detected coordinates are held as the “initial touch position”. When the coordinates of the initial touch position and the coordinates of the release operation are substantially the same, the operation reception unit 111 (when the coordinates of the release operation are detected in the coordinates within a certain range from the coordinates at which the approach operation is detected). First, the user operation is determined to be a "tap operation".

(4) The "double tap operation" is an operation in which the user performs the tap operation twice within a fixed time. For example, when the operation accepting unit 111 determines that the user's operation is the tap operation and then determines the tap operation again at the coordinates related to the tap operation within a certain period of time, the operation accepting unit 111 determines the user's operation as a “double tap operation”. To do.

(5) “Long press operation” is an operation in which the user continues to press the touch screen 15. The touch screen 15 detects the user's operation and determines the approach operation, and then, if the time during which the approach operation is continued at the coordinates at which the approach operation is detected exceeds a certain time, the touch screen 15 indicates the user's operation. Long-press operation” (“long-press operation” is sometimes referred to as “long-touch operation”).

(6) The “drag operation” is an operation in which the user slides his/her finger while keeping the approaching state in which the user approaches the touch screen 15 with a finger or the like.

(7) “Move operation” refers to a series of operations in which the user moves the position where a finger or the like is approaching the touch screen 15 while maintaining the approach operation on the touch screen 15 to perform the release operation.

(8) "Flick operation" refers to an operation in which the user performs a move operation in a time shorter than a predetermined time. The flick operation is an operation in which the user flips his/her finger on the touch screen 15.

The quest executing unit 112 executes the quest (first game process) by consuming the stamina (first parameter). The rank management unit 113 increases the rank of the user in the game when the experience value (second parameter) of the user exceeds the first reference value. The stamina recovery unit 114 recovers stamina when a condition for recovering stamina is satisfied. The stamina recovery unit 114 automatically recovers stamina within a range not exceeding the upper limit of stamina, for example, over time. The item giving unit 115 gives the user a game item when the condition for giving the user a game item is satisfied.

The display control unit 116 outputs, to the display unit 152 of the touch screen 15, a game screen in which the processing result executed by each of the above-described elements is reflected. The display control unit 116 may display a game screen including animations showing the motions of various objects on the display unit 152. The display control unit 116 may also draw a UI (User Interface) object by superimposing it on the game screen.

The functions of the user terminal 100 shown in FIG. 2 are merely examples. The server 200 may include at least a part of the functions of the user terminal 100. In addition, the user terminal 100 may include at least a part of the functions included in the server 200. Further, a device other than the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be a constituent element of the game system 1, and the other device may be caused to execute a part of the processing in the game system 1. That is, the computer that executes the game program in the present embodiment may be any one of the user terminal 100, the server 200, and another device, or may be realized by a combination of a plurality of these devices.

(Game outline)
The game based on the game system 1 is, for example, an arbitrary game in which characters (first character, ally character) operated by a user appear. This game is, for example, a game in which a character operated by a user and another character (second character, enemy character) controlled by the game system 1 or another user battle. The user can have a plurality of different characters. The user can acquire the ally character (game content) that can be used in the game by paid or free means. An example of a paid means is a character lottery (second game process). The character lottery means a process (second game process) in which the game system 1 selects at least one character from a plurality of characters (game contents) and gives it to the user. During the character lottery, the game system 1 can select a character according to a rule defined in the game, or randomly select a character by lottery. For example, when the user consumes a game item or virtual currency, the game system 1 gives the selected character to the user by executing a character lottery.

The game based on the game system 1 is not limited to a battle game, but may be a game of any genre such as a sports game. The game system 1 is not limited to a specific play mode, and may be a system for executing a game of any play mode. For example, a single-player game played by a single user, a multi-player game played by a plurality of users, and among multi-play games, a battle game played by a plurality of users, a cooperative play game played by a plurality of users, and the like. May be.

The user can play various quests while playing the game. A quest is a type of game stage (game content) in which an ally character associated with a user is used. In the game, the user is provided with stamina that is consumed to play the quest. Stamina is a game parameter that the user must consume to play the quest. The minimum value, the current value, and the upper limit value are set in the stamina. Each quest is set with a consumption value of stamina necessary for playing the quest, and an experience value that the user can obtain when the quest is cleared. The user plays the quest by consuming the stamina value set in the quest among the current stamina values. When the user clears the quest, the user acquires the experience value set in the quest. When the total experience value acquired by the user exceeds the first reference value, the rank of the user in the game is increased by one. The rank is a kind of game parameter indicating the relative height of each user in the game. In the present disclosure, increasing the rank may be referred to as ranking up.

The user can obtain a diamond that can be used in the game based on the payment of the consideration by the user. The diamond is a paid game item (game content, virtual currency) that can be used by the user to advance the game more favorably. In the present disclosure, a user uses a diamond to recover stamina during a game. In that sense, diamond is a recovery medium that can recover stamina. Diamonds are a type of consumer goods that disappears after use. Therefore, in the present disclosure, using a diamond is synonymous with consuming a diamond.

If the current value of the stamina becomes less than the value required to play the quest, the user cannot newly play the quest. Stamina is automatically recovered as time passes, within a range not exceeding the upper limit value. If the user wants to recover the stamina without waiting for the recovery of the stamina over time, the user can recover the stamina to the upper limit value by consuming the diamond. Stamina is restored to the upper limit even when the rank is increased.

The diamond is also a game item that can be used to execute the character lottery. The game system 1 executes a character lottery by consuming a predetermined number of diamonds based on a user's instruction. In one aspect of the present disclosure, 10 diamonds are required to execute one character lottery. In the game, the user is provided with lottery points. The lottery points are game items that can be used to execute the character lottery. The game system 1 can also perform the character lottery by consuming a predetermined number of lottery points instead of the diamond based on the user's instruction. In the present disclosure, the lottery points required to execute one character lottery are 20. Since the value of the lottery points required to execute one character lottery is twice the number of diamonds required to perform one character lottery, one diamond corresponds to two lottery points. As will be described later in detail, in an aspect of the present disclosure, lottery points are given to the user when the stamina upper limit is restored by diamond consumption.

The rank, the experience value, the lottery point, the diamond, and the stamina are all stored in the storage unit 120 as a kind of the user information 133. Specifically, the storage unit 120 stores the current rank of the user, the cumulative experience value acquired by the user, the number of diamonds held by the user, the value of the lottery points held by the user, the current value of the stamina, and the upper limit value of the stamina. Are memorized respectively.

(Stamina recovery flow)
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed by the user terminal 100 according to an embodiment based on the game program 131. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a game screen 310 according to an embodiment. A part or all of the series of processes illustrated in FIG. 3 may be executed by the server 200.

The display control unit 116 displays the game screen 31 shown in FIG. 4, for example, on the display unit 152 during the game play. The game screen 31 shown in FIG. 4 includes a rank display column 41, an experience value display column 42, a point display column 43, a diamond display column 44, a stamina display column 45, and a quest display column 46.

The display control unit 116 displays the rank of the user in the rank display field 41. The display control unit 116 displays, in the experience value display field 42, the sum of the experience values that the user has already acquired and the sum of the experience values that need to be acquired to newly rank up (first reference value). .. In the experience value display field 42, the total of the acquired experience values and the total value of the experience values necessary for rank up are separated by a predetermined delimiter (slash). In the present disclosure, the total of experience values necessary for rank up may be simply referred to as a first reference value. The display control unit 116 displays the number of diamonds held by the user in the diamond display field 44. The display control unit 116 displays the stamina bar 47, the current stamina value, and the upper limit value in the stamina display field 45. In the stamina display field 45, the current stamina value and the upper limit value are separated by a predetermined delimiter (slash).

The stamina bar 47 is display information that visually presents the current stamina value and the upper limit value to the user. In FIG. 4, the left end of the stamina bar 47 corresponds to the minimum value of the stamina, and the right end of the stamina bar 47 corresponds to the upper limit of the stamina. As shown in FIG. 4, when the rank is 5, the minimum stamina value is “0” and the maximum stamina value is “20”. The upper limit of stamina can be increased according to the progress of the game. The display control unit 116 colors the portion of the entire stamina bar 47 corresponding to the current stamina value to the first color. The display control unit 116 colors the remaining portion of the stamina bar 47 to a second color different from the first color. The user can intuitively understand the current value of the stamina by visually checking the stamina bar 47.

The display control unit 116 displays the plurality of options 51 and 52 in the quest display field 46. The options 51 and 52 are display information corresponding to the quest executed when the option is selected by the user. The option 51 corresponds to a beginner quest, and the quest corresponds to an intermediate quest different from the beginner quest. The intermediate quest is a quest that consumes more stamina and is more difficult than the beginner quest, but instead gives you more valuable rewards. The user can play the beginner quest by spending only 5 stamina, and can gain only 50 experience points by completing the beginner quest. The user can play the intermediate quest by consuming only 15 stamina, and can obtain only 200 experience points by clearing the intermediate quest. The options 51 and 52 include information (text) indicating the stamina value required for execution (play) of the corresponding quest, and information (text) indicating the experience value given to the user when the quest is cleared. Including.

In step S1, the operation reception unit 111 causes the user to select one of a plurality of quests that can be played in the game. Specifically, when the user's tap operation on the option 51 is detected, the operation reception unit 111 specifies that the elementary quest corresponding to the option 51 has been selected by the user. Alternatively, when the operation accepting unit 111 detects a tap operation by the user on the option 52, the operation accepting unit 111 identifies that the intermediate quest corresponding to the option 52 is selected by the user. In step S2, the quest execution unit 112 executes the quest selected by the user by consuming the stamina corresponding to the quest selected by the user. When the beginner quest is selected, the quest executing unit 112 executes the beginner quest by consuming the stamina of “5” necessary for playing the beginner quest. When the intermediate quest is selected, the quest executing unit 112 executes the intermediate quest by consuming the “20” stamina necessary for playing the intermediate quest. The user plays the quest selected by the user.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a message 60 according to an embodiment. In step S3, the operation receiving unit 111 receives the user's tap operation on the stamina display field 45. This operation is an operation for instructing the recovery of stamina. When the tap operation on the stamina display field 45 is accepted, the display control unit 116 displays the message 60 shown in FIG. 5 at an arbitrary position in the game screen 31. The message 60 includes text asking the user how many diamonds to use for stamina recovery, and a plurality of options 61 to 64. Choices 61-64 correspond to the number of diamonds consumed to recover stamina. The options 61 to 64 specifically correspond to five, ten, fifteen, and twenty diamonds, respectively. As described above, in FIG. 5, the number of diamonds consumed to recover stamina is designated by the user in a plurality of units. The stamina value that can be recovered per diamond is 1.

In step S4, the operation reception unit 111 causes the user to select one of the options 61 to 64, thereby causing the user to specify the first number of diamonds consumed for stamina recovery. In detail, the operation reception unit 111 specifies the number of diamonds corresponding to the option selected by the user as the first number designated by the user. When the option 61 is selected, the operation reception unit 111 specifies that the user has designated five diamonds. When the option 62 is selected, the operation reception unit 111 specifies that the user has designated 10 diamonds. When the option 63 is selected, the operation reception unit 111 specifies that the user has designated 15 diamonds. When the option 64 is selected, the operation reception unit 111 identifies that 20 diamonds have been designated by the user.

In step S5, the stamina recovery unit 114 identifies the first recovery value of the stamina that can be recovered by the consumption of the first number of diamonds designated by the user. Since the value of the recoverable stamina per diamond is 1, the first recovery value of the stamina recoverable by consuming the first number of diamonds is equal to the first number. For example, the first recovery value is 5 when the first number is 5, and the first recovery value is 10 when the first number is 10.

In step S6, the stamina recovery unit 114 determines whether the stamina exceeds the upper limit and is recovered when the first number of diamonds designated by the user is consumed. For example, it is assumed that five diamonds are designated by the user. In this case, the stamina is restored to the value "18", which is the sum of the current stamina value "13" and the first recovery value "5". Therefore, the stamina does not exceed the upper limit value and is not recovered, and thus NO is obtained in step S6. As a result, in step S7, the stamina recovery unit 114 recovers the stamina to 18 which is less than the upper limit value by consuming the first number “5” of diamonds. After that, the series of processing shown in FIG. 3 ends.

In step S4, it is assumed that the user specifies, for example, 10 diamonds. In this case, if 10 diamonds are temporarily consumed, the stamina exceeds the upper limit value "20" and is recovered to a value "23" that is the sum of the stamina current value "13" and the first recovery value "10". .. Therefore, when 10 diamonds are designated by the user in step S4, YES is obtained in step S6.

In this case, in step S8, the item provision unit 115 specifies the difference "7" between the stamina upper limit value "20" and the stamina current value "13". In step S9, the item provision unit 115 specifies the second recovery value "3" of the stamina by subtracting the difference "7" from the first recovery value "10". In step S10, the stamina recovery unit 114 recovers the stamina to the upper limit value "20" by consuming the first number "10" of diamonds. At this time, the stamina recovery unit 114 subtracts the first number “10” of diamonds from the number “100” of diamonds stored in the storage unit 120, thereby reducing the number of diamonds stored in the storage unit 120 to 90. To update. The stamina recovery unit 114 further updates the current stamina value “13” stored in the storage unit 120 to 20, which is the same as the stamina upper limit value “20” stored in the storage unit 120. As described above, the second recovery value “3” is a value that was not included in the stamina after recovery although the diamond was consumed.

In step S11, the item giving unit 115 specifies a lottery point corresponding to the second recovery value “3”. Specifically, the item assignment unit 115 first identifies the second number of diamonds that can recover the stamina by the second recovery value “3”. The stamina recovery unit 114 specifies the second number "3" by multiplying the second recovery value "3" by the recoverable stamina value "1" per diamond. The item giving unit 115 then specifies lottery points corresponding to the second number “3” of diamonds. The item giving unit 115 specifies the lottery point “6” given to the user by multiplying the second number “3” by the lottery point “2” corresponding to one diamond. In step S12, the item granting unit 115 grants the identified lottery point “6” to the user. At this time, the item giving unit 115 adds the value “6” of the lottery points given to the user to the current value “50” of the lottery points stored in the storage unit 120, so that the item is stored in the storage unit 120. Update the current value of the lottery points to 56.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a point display column 43, a diamond display column 44, and a stamina display column 45 according to an embodiment. The display control unit 116 updates the point display column 43, the diamond display column 44, and the stamina display column 45 as shown in FIG. 7 when the stamina is recovered to the upper limit value of 20 by the consumption of seven diamonds. Specifically, the display control unit 116 updates the lottery points displayed in the point display column 43 to 56, updates the number of diamonds displayed in the diamond display column 44 to 90, and displays them in the stamina display column 45. Updates the current stamina value to 20. The display control unit 116 further colors the entire stamina bar 47 to the first color.

(Main effects)
According to the present disclosure, when the user specifies the first number of diamonds that can recover the stamina by exceeding the upper limit value, the stamina is restored to the upper limit value by consumption of the first number of diamonds, and the lottery points are It is given to the user. The user can use the lottery points for character lottery, but cannot use them for playing the quest. In other words, the lottery point is a game item (second game item) other than the game item that enables the execution of the quest.

If the game item that enables the execution of the quest is temporarily given to the user when the upper limit of the stamina is restored, the user has an excessive chance of playing the quest. As a result, the game balance may be destroyed due to the user proceeding with the quest play more than necessary. On the other hand, according to the present disclosure, the lottery points that do not allow the execution of the quest are given to the user when the upper limit of the stamina is restored, so that the opportunity for the user to play the quest can be maintained at an appropriate number. As a result, the user does not proceed with the quest play more than necessary, so that the game balance can be maintained at an appropriate level. Furthermore, since the user can use the given lottery points for the character lottery, there is more opportunity for more positive gameplay other than quest play. This allows the user to play various games.

The user can acquire the lottery points at the time of the upper limit recovery of the stamina as an equivalent equivalent to the second recovery value of the upper limit of the stamina. Therefore, the user does not needlessly consume the third number of diamonds that did not actually contribute to the stamina recovery, so that the user is fully satisfied with the consumption of the first number of diamonds for the stamina recovery. You can get a feeling. Further, since the lottery points are game items that can be used for character lottery instead of paid diamonds, it can be said that the lottery points are paid game values as with diamonds. Therefore, the user can obtain the feeling that the money spent for purchasing the diamond was not wasted because the lottery points were given when the stamina upper limit was restored.

(Example of stamina recovery after increasing the upper limit)
When the user clears the quest, the quest executing unit 112 gives the user an experience value corresponding to the quest. The rank management unit 113 increases the rank stored in the storage unit 120 when the increased experience value exceeds the first reference value. The stamina recovery unit 114 increases the upper limit value of the stamina stored in the storage unit 120 when the experience value exceeds the first reference value. The stamina recovery unit 114, for example, increases the upper limit value of stamina by 1 each time the rank increases by 1. Therefore, for example, when the rank is increased from 5 to 6, the stamina recovery unit 114 increases the upper limit of stamina from 20 to 21. The stamina recovery unit 114 may increase the upper limit of stamina only when the rank increases to a specific value. For example, when the rank is increased from 6 to 7, the stamina recovery unit 114 may maintain the stamina upper limit without increasing it.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a rank display field 41, a point display field 43, a diamond display field 44, and a stamina display field 45 according to an embodiment. FIG. 7A shows the rank display column 41 and the like before the stamina recovery due to diamond consumption, and FIG. 7B shows the rank display column 41 and the like after the stamina upper limit recovery due to diamond consumption. In the example of FIG. 7, the user rank is 100, and the current stamina value and the upper limit value are 52 and 80, respectively. The user has 100 diamonds. As the rank is increased to 100, the upper limit of stamina is increased to 80.

In the example of FIG. 7, the stamina recovery unit 114 does not change the recoverable stamina value for each diamond even when the rank increases. In other words, regardless of the upper limit of the stamina, the stamina value that can be recovered for each diamond is kept the same. Therefore, the stamina value that can be recovered for each diamond is 1, as in FIG. 4 before the rank and the upper limit value are increased.

The user specifies 30 diamonds as the number of diamonds consumed for stamina recovery. The stamina recovery unit 114 specifies the first recovery value "30" of the stamina that can be recovered by the consumption of the first number "30" of diamonds designated by the user. Since the stamina upper limit value=80 and the stamina current value=52, the stamina recovery unit 114 specifies the difference “28” between the upper limit value and the current value. The item provision unit 115 specifies the second recovery value “2” of the stamina by subtracting the difference “28” from the first recovery value “30”. The stamina recovery unit 114 recovers the stamina to the upper limit value “80” by consuming the first number “30” of diamonds.

The item giving unit 115 specifies a lottery point corresponding to the second recovery value “2”. Specifically, the item provision unit 115 first specifies the second number “2” of diamonds that can recover the stamina by the second recovery value “2”. The item provision unit 115 then identifies the lottery point “4” corresponding to the second number “2” diamond. The item giving unit 115 gives the user the specified lottery point “4”.

The display control unit 116 updates the point display column 43, the diamond display column 44, and the stamina display column 45 as shown in FIG. 7B when the stamina is recovered to the upper limit value “80” by consumption of 30 diamonds. To do. Specifically, the display control unit 116 updates the lottery points displayed in the point display column 43 to 54, updates the number of diamonds displayed in the diamond display column 44 to 70, and displays them in the stamina display column 45. Updates the current stamina value to 80. The display control unit 116 further colors the entire stamina bar 47 to the first color.

In the example of FIG. 7, the stamina value that can be recovered for each diamond is the same 1, regardless of the stamina upper limit value. The number of diamonds needed to recover up to increases. As a result, the cost to be paid by the user for recovering the stamina to the upper limit increases, while the recovery amount of the stamina and the consumption amount of the diamond can be made to correspond one-to-one, which is easy for the user to understand. In addition, the user will consider whether to recover the stamina with diamonds or consume another item that can recover the stamina, and if the stamina is insufficient, the user can implement various measures to progress the game. Can prompt the user.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a rank display field 41, a point display field 43, a diamond display field 44, and a stamina display field 45 according to an embodiment. FIG. 7A shows the rank display column 41 and the like before the stamina recovery due to diamond consumption, and FIG. 8B shows the rank display column 41 and the like after the stamina upper limit recovery due to diamond consumption. In the example of FIG. 8, the rank of the user is 100, and the current value and the upper limit value of the stamina are 52 and 80, respectively. The user has 100 diamonds. As the rank is increased to 100, the upper limit of stamina is increased to 80.

In the example of FIG. 8, the number of diamonds required to recover the stamina from the minimum value to the upper limit value is fixed at 20 regardless of the upper limit value of the stamina. Therefore, when the upper limit value of the stamina increases, the stamina recovery unit 114 increases the recoverable stamina value for each diamond. In the example of FIG. 8, the stamina value that can be recovered per diamond is 4, unlike FIG. 4 before the rank and the upper limit value are increased.

The user specifies 10 diamonds as the number of diamonds consumed for stamina recovery. The stamina recovery unit 114 identifies the first recovery value "40" of the stamina that can be recovered by the consumption of the first number "10" of diamonds designated by the user. Since the stamina upper limit value=80 and the stamina current value=52, the stamina recovery unit 114 specifies the difference “28” between the upper limit value and the current value. The item provision unit 115 specifies the second recovery value “12” of the stamina by subtracting the difference “28” from the first recovery value “40”. The stamina recovery unit 114 recovers the stamina to the upper limit value “80” by consuming the first number “10” of diamonds.

The item giving unit 115 specifies a lottery point corresponding to the second recovery value “12”. Specifically, the item provision unit 115 first specifies the second number “3” of diamonds that can recover the stamina by the second recovery value “12”. The item provision unit 115 then identifies the lottery point “6” corresponding to the second number “3” diamond. The item giving unit 115 gives the specified lottery point “6” to the user.

The display control unit 116 updates the point display column 43, the diamond display column 44, and the stamina display column 45 as shown in FIG. 8B when the stamina is recovered to the upper limit value “80” by the consumption of 10 diamonds. To do. Specifically, the display control unit 116 updates the lottery points displayed in the point display column 43 to 56, updates the number of diamonds displayed in the diamond display column 44 to 90, and displays them in the stamina display column 45. Updates the current stamina value to 80. The display control unit 116 further colors the entire stamina bar 47 to the first color.

In the example of FIG. 8, the larger the upper limit of stamina, the larger the value of stamina that can be recovered per diamond. As a result, as the rank increases, the efficiency of stamina recovery due to diamond consumption improves, so that the user can be motivated to upgrade the rank by continuous play of the game. In the example of FIG. 8, even if the upper limit value of the stamina is increased, the number of diamonds required to restore the stamina to the upper limit value does not change. As a result, as the rank increases, the efficiency of stamina recovery at the time of diamond consumption is improved, and the number of diamonds required to recover the upper limit of stamina does not increase due to the rank increase, so that the user can be more strongly motivated to improve the rank.

(Other examples)
The recovery media consumed for the recovery of stamina may be the consideration paid by the user. For example, it is assumed that the user can obtain five diamonds by paying 100 yen. In one aspect, the user can specify each consideration such as 200 yen, 300 yen, and 400 yen, which is a multiple of 100 yen, with 100 yen as the minimum unit, as consideration (money amount) consumed for stamina recovery. Here, it is assumed that the stamina upper limit value=20 and the stamina current value=13. The user specifies 200 yen as the first consideration consumed for stamina recovery. The stamina value that can be recovered by paying 200 yen is 10. The stamina recovery unit 114, when the stamina exceeds the upper limit value "20" and is recovered to the excess value "23" when the first consideration "200 yen" specified by the user is consumed, the first consideration "200 yen". ”Is consumed, the stamina is restored to the upper limit value “20”. Further, the item giving unit 115 gives the user lottery points “3” corresponding to the second consideration “60 yen” which does not actually contribute to the stamina recovery of the first consideration “200 yen”. The consumption of the first consideration here means charging the user with the first consideration. In this example, the user can obtain the lottery points for 60 yen without wasting the paid 60 yen.

If the stamina exceeds the upper limit and the stamina is recovered by consuming the first number of diamonds, the item provision unit 115 allows the user to play an arbitrary second game item (game medium) other than the game item that enables the execution of the quest. Can be given to. The lottery points described above are an example of the second game item. As the second game item, in addition to the lottery points, for example, various game items that favorably advance the quest to the user can be cited. An example of this type of game item is an experience value increasing item. The experience value increasing item is a game item for increasing the experience value given to the user after the quest is cleared, compared to when the experience value increasing item is not used. Even when the user is provided with the experience value increasing item at the time of recovering the upper limit of the stamina, the user has more opportunities to enjoy various game plays other than the play of the quest, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

When the identified lottery point includes a fraction, the item giving unit 115 may round up the fraction. For example, it is assumed that the stamina current value=16, the upper limit value=50, and the stamina value recoverable per diamond=3. The user specifies 15 diamonds. The stamina recovery unit 114 specifies the first recovery value "45" of the stamina that can be recovered by the consumption of the first number "15" of diamonds designated by the user. The stamina recovery unit 114 identifies the difference "34" between the stamina upper limit value "50" and the current value "16". The item provision unit 115 specifies the second recovery value “11” of the stamina by subtracting the difference “34” from the first recovery value “45”. The stamina recovery unit 114 recovers the stamina to the upper limit value “50” by consuming the first number “15” of diamonds.

The item giving unit 115 specifies a lottery point corresponding to the second recovery value “11”. Specifically, the item provision unit 115 first specifies the second number “3.7” of diamonds that can recover the stamina by the second recovery value “11”. The item provision unit 115 then specifies the lottery point “7.4” corresponding to the second number “3.7” of diamonds. The item giving unit 115 further changes the lottery point to 8 by rounding up the fraction “0.4” included in the identified lottery point “7.4”. The item giving unit 115 gives the changed lottery point “8” to the user.

The second game item may be a continue item, an enhancement item, or a coin. The continue item is a game item that allows the quest to be continuously executed after the quest is over. The enhancement item is a game item that can enhance the character owned by the user. Coins are in-game currency that allows the user to purchase various game elements that can be used in the game. Even when these second game items are given to the user when the upper limit of the stamina is restored, the user has more opportunities to enjoy various game plays other than the quest play, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

The item giving unit 115 can give the user a second game item that can execute the second game process of selecting at least one game medium from a plurality of game contents and giving it to the user. The teammate character described above is an example of a game medium, and the character lottery described above is an example of a second game process. As the game medium given to the user as a result of the second game process, in addition to the teammate character, for example, various equipment such as a weapon or armor that the teammate character can equip, and any other different game item from the second game item. Examples include game items.

(Method to execute lottery based on lottery points)
In the description of the above embodiment, it is assumed that the number of lottery points required to execute one character lottery is 20 by way of example, and the character lottery can be executed by consuming a predetermined number of lottery points. did. Here, as a method of executing the lottery using the lottery points, the right to perform the lottery may be granted when the number of lottery points reaches a predetermined number. For example, an item called a ticket that can execute a lottery may be given to the user. Here, the user plays a game and satisfies a predetermined condition (for example, in a battle game, wins an opponent, clears the quest by satisfying the condition set in the quest, and performs a predetermined action). You can get lottery points by clearing the game after you go. The lottery ticket given when the number of lottery points reaches a predetermined number is set to have a valid period during which the lottery ticket can be consumed, and the lottery ticket may disappear after the valid period. As a result, the user can be encouraged to play the game by motivating that the game contents such as the character and the equipment item can be obtained by the lottery. Further, it is possible to motivate the user to set a valid period and perform a lottery for implementation, and to allow the user to acquire various game contents such as characters as the game is played.

Here, as described above, lottery points that can be obtained by consuming paid items and lottery points that can be obtained free of charge by game play, like lottery points given to the user when the stamina upper limit is restored by diamond consumption. And may be managed separately. Then, the lottery using the lottery points that can be acquired by consuming the paid item may be advantageous to the user than the lottery using the lottery points that can be acquired for free. For example, when the number of lottery points that can be obtained free of charge reaches a predetermined number, a lottery ticket with an expiration date is given so that the lottery ticket can be drawn and the lottery ticket is consumed and the stamina is capped. When the number of lottery points given to the user upon recovery has reached a predetermined number, a lottery ticket with no expiration date may be given to the user so that the lottery ticket can be used for lottery. For game media such as characters provided by lottery, the table used for the lottery may be updated at any time due to replacement of the characters provided by lottery. If a user uses a lottery ticket with no expiration date, the user can perform the lottery at the timing desired by the user, as in the case where the paid timetable is consumed to perform the lottery.

In addition, if a lottery ticket with an expiration date is given with free lottery points, if the expiration date is exceeded, the lottery ticket will be lost and game contents such as characters will not be given to the user. Even when the number of points reaches a predetermined number, a lottery ticket with an expiration date (for example, it may be longer than the expiration date of the lottery ticket derived from the lottery points that can be obtained free of charge) is given Alternatively, the lottery process may be automatically executed to give the game contents to the user.

As described above, the item giving unit 115 gives the user free lottery points that are managed separately from the paid lottery points given when the upper limit of the stamina is recovered by diamond consumption, based on the free game play by the user. can do. When the cumulative number of free lottery points reaches a predetermined number, the item giving unit 115 further gives the user a lottery ticket (third game item) capable of executing the second game processing such as character lottery. be able to. The item giving unit 115 further provides a lottery ticket (for example, with an expiration date) when the cumulative number of paid lottery points reaches a predetermined number or when the cumulative number of free lottery points reaches a predetermined number. It is possible to give the user a lottery ticket (for example, no expiration date) that is more advantageous than the above).

[Example of software implementation]
