Description

The present invention relates to a game object search control device, a game system, and a program.

A game is known in which a game object is given to a user and the game object given to the user is used (for example, Patent Document 1). For example, there is known a game in which a user collects game cards (an example of game objects), uses the collected game cards to build a deck, and plays against other users or a computer.

Patent No. 5086487

In such games as described above, a user may search for game cards using an in-game search function in order to specify game cards to be collected. In addition, in the above-mentioned games, in order to improve the strategy of the game by increasing the choices when constructing the deck, many types and parameters may be set on the game card. Therefore, the user sets the search condition based on those many types and parameters and confirms the search result to specify the game card to be collected. For example, when searching for a game card that is more effective in a match than the game card currently used in the deck, the user should refer to the type and parameters of the game card used in the deck and set the search conditions. Will be set.

However, in the conventional in-game search function, since the user inputs search conditions regarding the type of game card, parameters, etc., the search results are displayed according to the search conditions input by the user. The search was complicated. In other words, in the conventional in-game search function, the search condition is not set automatically based on the type and parameters of the game card used in the deck. In order to identify the game card to collect, it is necessary to make a note of the type of game card, the type and value of parameters, etc., set search conditions while referring to them, and compare with the search results. Took a lot of time.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a game object search control device, a game system, and a program that can reduce the trouble of the user when searching for a game object. Especially.

[2. Outline of game executed in game system 1]
In the game system 1, the game is executed by displaying the game screen on the display unit of the user terminal 10 based on the data provided from the game server 30 based on the request from the user terminal 10.

For example, in the game system 1, a game object is given to a user and a game using the game object given by the user is executed. The "game object" is a target that can be used in the game. As will be described later, the “game object” can be a target of a search by the user. For example, a "game object" is given to a user in a game and is a target of collection by the user. Specifically, for example, a game card, a game character, a game item, or the like corresponds to an example of a “game object”.

Hereinafter, as an example of a game executed in the game system 1, a game in which a user collects game cards (examples of game objects) corresponding to game characters and adventures using these game cards will be described.

In this game, a user builds a deck using his own game card, and uses the deck to explore a cave or ruins. The “game card owned by the user” is a game card in which the state given to the user is maintained. In other words, the “game card owned by the user” is a game card in a state in which the user can arbitrarily use or sell the game card. Further, the "deck" is a combination of game cards selected from the game cards owned by the user with a predetermined number as the upper limit. The deck is used when fighting an enemy encountered during exploration or when fighting a deck constructed by another user.

2 to 5 show examples of the game screen displayed on the display unit 15 of the user terminal 10.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a list screen showing a list of game cards. For example, the list screen G101 of FIG. 2 displays a list of game cards owned by the user. For example, the user can obtain the game card by operating the user terminal 10 to execute a game event (for example, an event such as a treasure box search or a lottery draw), and the user can obtain the game card within a predetermined maximum number. You can own your own game card. The game server 30 may manage the information about the game card owned by the user in association with the user's identification information (user ID).

As shown in FIG. 2, on the list screen G101, images of the game card C101, the game card C102, and the game card C103 are displayed. Further, the list screen G101 is provided with display areas C1011, C1021, C1031 for displaying information associated with the respective game cards C101, C102, C103.

As shown in the display areas C1011, C1021, C1031, each game card has, for example, “attribute”, “name”, “Lv (level)”, “cost”, “attack (attack power)”, and “defense”. (Defense power)” and “special skill” items are associated with each other.

The “attribute” indicates the type of game card. For example, “attribute” can be said to be a classification that represents the characteristics of game cards in battle. For example, a game card having a specific “feat” may exert a predetermined action in battle on a game card having a specific “attribute”. Specific examples of "attributes" include "flame", "forest", "water", "light", and "darkness", and any one of these five types is "attribute" Is set as The "name" indicates the name of the game card.

“Lv (level)” indicates the level of the game card. For the same game card, the higher the level, the higher the performance (ability) of the game card.

“Cost” indicates the cost required to use the game card, that is, the cost required to add the game card to the deck. Hereinafter, the relationship between the cost and the deck will be described using a specific example.

As described above, the user organizes the deck by selecting game cards from the game cards that he owns up to a predetermined number. That is, the user, as a member of the deck, selects a predetermined number or less of game cards from the game cards owned by the user. However, in this case, it is necessary to select the members of the deck so that the total cost of the game cards that are members of the deck is equal to or less than the predetermined upper limit value. For example, in a game, an attack deck used for attack in battle and a defense deck used for defense may be formed.

The “attack (attack power)” indicates the attack power when the enemy is attacked. For example, the higher the “attack (attack power)” value, the higher the attack power. The higher the attack power, the greater the damage done to the enemy.

“Defense (defense)” indicates defense when an enemy attacks. For example, the higher the "defense (defense)" value, the higher the defense. The higher the defensive power, the less damage the enemy will take.

For example, in a game battle, the total attack power calculated based on the attack power of the game card that is a member of the attacking deck and the defense power of the game card that is a member of the defending deck are calculated. The victory or defeat may be determined by comparing the magnitude with the total defense strength. Specifically, if the total attack power of the attacking deck is greater than the total defense power of the defending deck, the attacker wins, and the total attack power of the attacking deck is the total defense power of the defending deck. If it is smaller than this, the defender may win.

The “special skill” indicates the existence and type of special skill possessed by the game card. A "special skill" can be said to be a special effect that occurs when fighting an enemy. When a game card having a special skill is included in the deck, a special effect corresponding to the special skill may occur in battle with an enemy. That is, when a game card having a special skill is included in the deck, a special attack corresponding to the special skill may be performed on the enemy, and more damage than usual may be given to the enemy. For example, when a game card having “poison” as a special skill is included in the deck, a poison attack (an example of special attack) may be performed on an enemy.

In addition, as described above, in a mode in which the outcome is determined by comparing the total attack power of the attacking deck and the total defense power of the defending deck, the game card included in the user's deck The total offensive power (or total defense power) of the user's deck may be increased by the occurrence of the special effect according to the special skill. That is, when the special effect occurs, the total attack power (or total defense power) of the user's deck may be larger than that when the special effect does not occur.

The special effect due to the special skill of the game card may be generated even when the game card is not included in the deck. In addition, a level (special skill level) may be set for a special skill, and the higher the special skill level is for the same special skill, the higher the probability that a special effect will occur and the effect of the special effect (for example, damage to an enemy. , The increase rate of the total attack power (or total defense power), the increase amount, etc.) may be increased.

Special effects due to feats occur according to combinations of feats and attributes of game cards in the deck. The performance of the deck (for example, offensive power or defensive power) is also set according to a combination of special skills, attributes, etc. of the game cards in the deck. Therefore, if the combination of the special skills and attributes of the game cards in the deck changes, the above special effects may not occur or the performance of the deck may deteriorate. Therefore, in order to build an effective deck in battle, it is not enough to simply obtain a high-performance game card, but consider the attributes and special skills of the game cards that make up the deck and obtain a game card. There is a need to. For example, when a game card X having "poison" as a special skill is included in a deck and the player intends to strengthen the deck by replacing this game card X with another game card, simply add the game card X A game card that has the same special ability (poison) as the game card X and is higher in performance than the game card X, instead of being replaced with a game card having higher performance (for example, attack power or defense power). You need to replace it with a card. In the following, a game card that is a candidate for the user to replace the game card in the deck (in the case of the above example, a game card having the same special skill as the game card X in the deck and the game card X A screen transition example for obtaining information of a game card having higher performance) will be described.

For example, to obtain information about game cards that are candidates for replacement with the game card C101, the user specifies the game card C101 by performing an operation (for example, a touch operation) on the list screen G101 shown in FIG. When the game card C101 is designated, a detailed screen showing details of the game card C101 is displayed. FIG. 3 shows an example of the detailed screen.

As shown in FIG. 3, various information associated with the game card C101 is displayed on the detailed screen G102. On the detailed screen G102 of FIG. 3, in addition to the information displayed on the list screen G101 of FIG. 2, “rarity”, “sale price”, “transaction medal”, and “number of circulations” are displayed.

“Rarity” indicates the rarity of a game card. For example, of “Super Rare (SR)+”, “Super Rare (SR)”, “Rare (R)+”, “Rare (R)”, “Normal (N)+”, and “Normal (N)” Is set as the rarity of each game card. The above examples are arranged in order from the highest rarity from “Super Rare (SR)+”. Generally, the higher the rarity of a game card, the higher the performance of the game card.

The “sale price” is the amount of money obtained when the game card is sold. For example, the “sale price” may be represented by virtual currency circulating in the game. The “transaction medal” is information regarding the number of medals required to obtain a game card. The “circulation number” is information indicating the number of game cards existing in the game. For example, the example shown in FIG. 3 indicates that there are 10,000 game cards C101 in the game. That is, the total number of game cards C101 owned by the user is 10,000. Information indicating the degree of the ratio of users who own the game card may be displayed as the “circulation number”.

As shown in FIG. 3, the detail screen G102 displays an icon P102 on which the text "Sale" is displayed. When the icon P102 is selected, a sale screen for selling the game card C101 displayed on the detailed screen G102 is displayed on the display unit 15 of the user terminal 10.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, on the detailed screen G102, an icon P101 on which the text “Display upper card” is displayed is displayed. The “upper card” is, for example, a game card having the same special skill as the game card C101 displayed on the detailed screen G102 and having higher performance (eg, offensive power or defensive power) than the game card C101. is there.

When the icon P101 is selected on the detail screen G102 of FIG. 3, the game card C101 displayed on the detail screen G102 is set as a reference (hereinafter, referred to as a “reference game card”) for searching for an upper card. A game card search is executed based on the game card C101 set as the reference game card. Specifically, a game card having the same feat as the game card C101 set as the reference game card is searched. Then, a search result display screen showing the search result is displayed on the display unit 15 of the user terminal 10. Hereinafter, an example of the search result display screen displayed when the icon P101 is selected will be described.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a search result display screen showing a game card searched based on the game card C101. As shown in FIG. 4, the search result display screen G103 includes a search condition change area G1031 and a search result display area G1032. In the search result display area G1032, a list of game cards having the same feat as the game card C101 is displayed as the search result.

As described above, in the game system 1, the user designates a game card among the game cards owned by the user as the reference game card, so that the game card having the same special skill as the reference game card is displayed. .. In this case, the search condition for searching for a game card having the same feat as the reference game card is set based on the feat of the game card designated as the reference game card. For this reason, the user does not need to take the trouble of recording the special skill of the game card owned by the user and inputting the search condition while referring to it. In this way, the game system 1 reduces the user's time and effort when searching for a game card having the same special skill as the game card owned by the user.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, in the search result display area G1032, as the search results, the game card C111, the game card C101 (reference game card), and the game card C112 are displayed in descending order of offensive power. In other words, in the search result display area G1032, the list of searched game cards indicates the magnitude of offensive power between the game card C101 set as the reference game card and the other game cards C111 and C112. It is displayed in a possible manner.

As described above, in the game system 1, on the search result display screen G103, the attack power of the game card C101 set as the reference game card and the attack power of each of the other game cards C111 and C112 satisfying the search condition, The size relationship of can be identified. Therefore, the user can easily understand whether the attack power of the game cards C111 and C112 satisfying the search condition is larger (or smaller) than the attack power of the game card C101 set as the reference game card. ..

In the example shown in FIG. 4, the searched game cards are sorted and displayed by using the attack power as a key, but the searched game cards may be sorted and displayed by using the defense power as a key. .. That is, the searched game cards may be displayed in order of decreasing defense strength. That is, the list of searched game cards may be displayed in a mode in which the magnitude of the defense strength between the game card C101 set as the reference game card and the other game cards C111 and C112 can be identified. .. The keys for sorting the searched game cards may be set based on the type of special skill of the reference game card. For example, if the special skill possessed by the standard game card is a special skill related to attack, “attack power” is used as a key for sorting, and the special skill possessed by the standard game card is a special skill related to defense. In some cases, "defense power" may be used as a key for sorting.

Alternatively, the total power calculated based on the attack power and defense power of the game card (for example, the total value of the attack power and defense power of the game card) is used as a key for sorting the searched game cards. Good. For example, the searched game cards may be displayed in order of decreasing total strength. That is, the list of searched game cards may be displayed in such a manner that the magnitude of the total strength between the game card C101 set as the reference game card and the other game cards C111 and C112 can be identified. ..

In addition, the game card rarity may be used as a key for sorting the searched game cards. For example, the searched game cards may be displayed in the order of increasing rarity. That is, the list of the searched game cards may be displayed in a mode in which the degree of rarity between the game card C101 set as the reference game card and the other game cards C111 and C112 can be identified. In this way, the user can easily understand whether the rarity of the game cards C111 and C112 satisfying the search condition is higher (or lower) than the rarity of the game card C101 set as the reference game card. May be.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the game card C101 set as the reference game card is displayed separately from the other game cards C111 and C112 in the search result display area G1032 so as to be set as the reference game card. The game card C101 may be identified. For example, the game card C101 set as the reference game card may be identified by displaying a frame or a predetermined image (icon or the like) in association with the game card C101 set as the reference game card. Further, for example, by changing the display mode (for example, the character color, the background color, or the display size) of the display area G1032A for displaying the game card C101 set as the reference game card from the other game cards C111 and C112, The game card C101 set as a card may be made identifiable.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 4, various information associated with each game card is displayed in the search result display area G1032. Specifically, in the search result display area G1032, "attribute", "name", "Lv (level)", "cost", "attack (attack power)", and "prevention ( Information about "defense", "special skill", "place of acquisition", and "change of deck information" is displayed.

Of these, the “obtaining place” is information indicating a place, a scene, or an event in the game where the game card can be obtained. The search result display area G1032 may display information indicating the acquisition price of the game card and information indicating the difficulty of acquiring the game card.

As described above, in the game system 1, information regarding acquisition of the game cards C111 and C112 satisfying the search condition is displayed on the search result display screen G103. Therefore, on the search result display screen G103, the user can obtain information regarding the acquisition of the game cards C111 and C112 that satisfy the search conditions. That is, the user can obtain information regarding the acquisition of the game cards C111 and C112 that satisfy the search condition without transitioning from the search result display screen G103 to another screen (for example, an acquisition screen described later). In this way, the game system 1 reduces the user's time and effort to obtain information regarding the acquisition of the game cards C111 and C112 that satisfy the search condition.

Further, the above-mentioned “change in deck information” is information indicating a change in deck performance when the game cards C111 and C112 satisfying the search condition are replaced with the game card C101 set as the reference game card. For example, “change in deck information” includes information indicating changes in “total attack power” and “attribute bonus” of the deck.

The “total attack power” is information indicating the attack power of the entire deck. The “total attack power” is determined based on the attack power of the game cards in the deck. For example, the total sum of the attack powers of the game cards in the deck is used as the “total attack power”. On the other hand, the “attribute bonus” is an added value regarding the performance determined by the combination of the attributes of the game cards in the deck. For example, when the values of “total attack power” and “attribute bonus” become large, the damage given to the enemy at the time of battle becomes large.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, the value of “total attack power” before change (before replacement) and the value of “total attack power” after change (after replacement) are displayed. In other words, the amount of change in “total attack power”, that is, how much “total attack power” increases (or decreases) is displayed. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the value of the “attribute bonus” before the change (before the replacement) and the value of the “attribute bonus” after the change (after the replacement) are displayed. In other words, the change amount of the “attribute bonus”, that is, how much the “attribute bonus” increases (or decreases) is displayed.

As described above, in the game system 1, changes in deck performance (total attack power and attribute bonus) when the game card C111 or C112 satisfying the search condition is replaced with the game card C101 set as the reference game card. Related information is displayed on the search result display screen G103. Therefore, the user can grasp the change in the performance of the deck when the replacement is performed in advance. That is, the user can grasp the change in the performance of the deck when the game cards C111 or C112 satisfying the search conditions are not actually acquired and replaced.

In the search result display area G1032, when the searched game cards are sorted and displayed using the defense power of the game card as a key, instead of the "total attack power" of the deck, "total defense power of the deck" is displayed. The information indicating the change of “deck information” may be included in the “change of deck information”. The "total defense power" is information indicating the defense power of the entire deck. The “total defense power” is determined based on the defense power of the game cards in the deck. For example, the sum of the defense power of the game cards in the deck is used as the "total defense power".

The search condition change area G1031 is an area for changing the search condition of the game card. For example, the user can set a condition to be added to the search condition for the game card. That is, the user can add a condition for narrowing down the search results displayed in the search result display area G1032. For example, the search condition change area G1031 includes an input field P110 for setting a condition related to an attribute, an input field P111 for setting a condition related to rarity, and an icon P112 in which the text of "condition change" is displayed. .. The initial values of the input fields P110 and P111 may be set based on information associated with the game card C101 set as the reference game card, information associated with the user, predetermined information, and the like. .. Then, when the icon P112 is selected, a game card having the same special skill as the game card C101 set as the reference game card and satisfying the conditions set in the input fields P110 and P111 is searched, The search result is displayed in the search result display area G1032.

When the game card C111 is selected on the search result display screen G103 shown in FIG. 4, the acquisition screen for acquiring the selected game card C111 (hereinafter referred to as “selected game card”) is the user terminal 10. Is displayed on the display unit 15. FIG. 5 shows an example of a selection game card acquisition screen.

As shown in FIG. 5, in the selection game card acquisition screen G104, a display area G1041 for displaying information associated with the selection game card and members of the deck from the reference game card (game card C101) are selected. A display area G1042 for displaying a change in the performance of the deck when the card (game card C111) is replaced, an input field G1043 for inputting bid information for the selected game card, and a transaction history of the selected game card The display area G1044 is included. The information displayed in the display area G1041 and the information displayed in the display area G1042 are the same as the information of the selected game card (game card C111) shown in the search result display area G1032 shown in FIG. Is.

In the input field G1043, an input field P121 for inputting the number of medals used for bidding of the selected game card, an icon P122 for displaying the text "Bid", and a display area G1043A for displaying the number of medals owned by the user including. When the icon P122 is selected on the selection game card acquisition screen G104 of FIG. 5, a bid process for the selected game card is executed with the number of medals input in the input field P121.

In the display area G1044, the past transaction history regarding the selected game card is displayed. For example, the transaction history includes the date and time of the transaction and information on the number of medals required to complete the transaction for the selected game card. The user can refer to the transaction history displayed in the display area G1044 when determining the number of medals to be used for bidding.

As described above, in the game system 1, since the transition from the search result display screen G103 to the acquisition screen G104 is set to be possible, the user can directly transit from the search result display screen G103 to the acquisition screen G104. .. By doing so, the time and effort of the user necessary to transit to the screen regarding the acquisition of the game card satisfying the search condition are reduced.

Information and the like are stored.

Hereinafter, the game object management table TBL101 and the user-owned game object management table TBL102, which are examples of data stored in the data storage unit 310, will be described.

[3.1.1. Game object management table TBL101]
FIG. 7 is an example of the game object management table TBL101 stored in the data storage unit 310. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the game object management table TBL101 is a data table for managing game cards (an example of game objects) provided in the game.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, in the game object management table TBL101, a "card image" that specifies the "name" of the game card and the image data of the game card in association with the "card ID" that uniquely identifies the game card. , Game card "Rarity", Game card "Attribute", Game card "Special ability", Game card "Attack force", Game card "Defense", Game card "Cost", Game card "Sale" Information about items such as “price” and “place of acquisition” of the game card is stored.

[3.1.2. User-owned game object management table TBL102]
FIG. 8 is an example of a user-owned game object management table stored in the data storage unit 310. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the user-owned game object management table TBL102 is a data table that manages information on a game card (an example of a game object) owned by the user.

In the example shown in FIG. 8, in the user-owned game object management table TBL102, the "card ID" of the game card owned by the user and the individual game cards are uniquely associated with the "user ID" that uniquely identifies the user. "Serial number" to identify to, "card level" indicating the level of the game card itself, "special skill level" indicating the level of the game card's special skill, "acquisition date" indicating the date and time when the game card was acquired, game card Stores information about items such as the "attack deck", which is a flag indicating whether or not is set as an attack deck, and the "defense deck", which is a flag indicating whether or not a game card is set as a defense deck. It If the user owns a plurality of the same game cards, the "card ID" of those game cards is the same, but the "serial number" is different.

[3.2. Game object designation receiving unit 110]
The game object designation receiving unit 110 is mainly realized by the control unit 11 and the storage unit 12. That is, the control unit 11 executes the process according to the program stored in the storage unit 12 to implement the game object designation receiving unit 110.

The game object designation receiving unit 110 receives a designation of a game object from the plurality of game objects from the user via the input unit 14. For example, the game object designation receiving unit 110, via the input unit 14, designates a game card (reference game card) as a reference for setting search conditions from among a plurality of game cards (an example of a game object). Accept from user.

For example, the game object designation accepting unit 110 may accept designation of one game card among a plurality of game cards based on the input accepted from the user by the input unit 14. For example, the “input accepted from the user” is an operation of selecting one of the game cards displayed on the display unit 15 (for example, an operation of touching the game card if the input unit 14 is a touch panel). Alternatively, information for specifying the game card (for example, a card ID, a name, etc. of the game card) may be input.

Here, the "plurality of game cards" are, for example, all or some of the game cards owned by the user (that is, the game cards stored in the user-owned game object management table TBL102). That is, the game object designation receiving unit 110 receives designation of a game card from among a plurality of game cards owned by the user.

Further, for example, the “plurality of game cards” may be all or a part of the game cards included in the user's deck. That is, the game object designation accepting unit 110 may accept designation of a game card from a plurality of game cards included in the user's deck. In short, the game object designation accepting unit 110 may accept designation of a game object from a combination of game objects set from among a plurality of game objects owned by the user. The “combination of game objects set out of the plurality of game objects owned by the user” means a game object including a plurality of game objects selected from among the game objects owned by the user. It is a combination. For example, such as a deck including a plurality of game cards as described above, a party (group or team) including a plurality of game characters (an example of a game object), a specific purpose (for example, a search in a game). , A plurality of game cards and game characters grouped for use in battles, games, etc.) correspond to an example of “a combination of game objects set from a plurality of game objects owned by the user”. ..

Note that, for example, the “plurality of game cards” may be all or a part of the game cards provided in the game (that is, the game cards stored in the game object management table TBL101). That is, the game object designation accepting unit 110 may accept designation of a game card from among a plurality of game cards provided in the game.

The acceptance result of the game object designation accepting unit 110 is transmitted to the game server 30 via the communication unit 13 and received by the game server 30 via the communication unit 33. For example, the identification information (for example, card ID) of the game card designated by the user is transmitted to the game server 30 as the acceptance result of the game object designation acceptance unit 110.

[3.3. Search condition setting unit 320]
The search condition setting unit 320 is mainly realized by the control unit 31 and the storage unit 32. That is, the search condition setting unit 320 is realized by the control unit 31 executing the process according to the program stored in the storage unit 32.

The search condition setting unit 320 sets a search condition for executing a search for a game object based on the acceptance result of the game object designation accepting unit 110. For example, the search condition setting unit 320 sets the search condition for executing the search for the game card based on the information associated with the game card specified from the plurality of game cards (an example of the game object). ..

Note that, as described above, the "designated game card" is, for example, a criterion for setting search conditions from a plurality of game cards (reference game card: in other words, for setting search conditions). It is a game card determined (selected) by the user as a game card to be used. Note that “designating” does not necessarily have to be accompanied by a user operation. That is, the above-mentioned "designated game card" is determined (selected) from among a plurality of game cards as a reference (reference game card) for setting the search condition without the user's operation. It may be a game card. This point will be described later (see modification (3) described later).

Further, "information associated with the game card" is information as described below. That is, for example, various kinds of information stored in association with the identification information of the game card corresponds to an example of “information associated with the game card”. The game card identification information itself also corresponds to an example of “information associated with the game card”.

The “game card identification information” is information for uniquely identifying each game card. For example, when IDs (or serial numbers) that are set so as not to overlap with each other are set for each game card, the IDs (or serial numbers) correspond to an example of “game card identification information”. Further, for example, when the game cards are set so that their names do not overlap with each other, the names may also correspond to an example of “game card identification information”. In the example of the game object management table TBL101 shown in FIG. 7, the card ID corresponds to “game card identification information”.

For example, when the parameter is stored in association with the identification information of the game card, the parameter corresponds to an example of “information associated with the game card”. The "parameter" is information indicating the size or height of a predetermined attribute item. Further, the “parameter” is not limited to numerical information, and may be information other than numerical information such as information that allows comparison of magnitude or height. For example, the “information that can be compared in size or height” may be information indicating a class of size (height) such as large (high), medium, and small (low). Further, for example, in the example of the game object management table TBL101 shown in FIG. 7, “attack power”, “defense power”, “cost”, “sale price”, “rarity”, etc. correspond to an example of “parameter”.

Further, for example, when information other than the parameter is stored in association with the identification information of the game card, the information other than the parameter corresponds to an example of “information associated with the game card”.

For example, when the following information is stored in association with the identification information of the game card, the following information corresponds to an example of “information associated with the game card”. The following information may be stored as "parameter" or "information other than parameter".
(1) Type information regarding the type of game card (for example, attributes, special skills, etc.)
(2) Performance information regarding the performance of the game card (eg, attack power, defense power, skill level, card level, cost, etc.)
(3) Rarity information regarding the rarity of game cards (eg, rarity, number of cards distributed in the game, etc.)
(4) Acquisition information regarding acquisition of game cards (eg acquisition price, acquisition location, etc.)

For example, the search condition setting unit 320 searches for a game card having a predetermined relationship with the game card designated as the reference game card, based on at least one piece of information associated with the game card designated as the reference game card. Set search conditions for.

Here, the “game card having a predetermined relationship with the reference game card” is, for example, a game card having a relationship as described below with the reference game card.

For example, a game card of a type having the same characteristic as the reference game card corresponds to an example of “a game card having a predetermined relationship with the reference game card”. More specifically, for example, a game card of the type having the same feat as the reference game card corresponds to an example of “a game card having a predetermined relationship with the reference game card”. In this case, the search condition setting unit 320 sets the search condition for searching for the type of game card having the same characteristics as the reference game card, based on the characteristic information associated with the reference game card. For example, the search condition setting unit 320 identifies a type having the same characteristic as the characteristic of the reference game card based on the characteristic information associated with the reference game card, and performs a search for searching for a game card of the type. Set the conditions. Here, the “characteristic information” is information regarding the characteristics of the game card. For example, in the case of the game object management table TBL101 shown in FIG. 7, the special skill of the game card corresponds to an example of “characteristic information”. Further, for example, positions of P1 to PN (N is a natural number of 2 or more) are defined in the deck, and position information designating one of the positions P1 to PN is associated with each of the plurality of game cards. In the game in which only the game card whose position information is Pi can be set in the position Pi of the deck (i is a natural number of 1 to N), the above position information corresponds to an example of “characteristic information”.

Further, for example, a game card of the same type as the reference game card also corresponds to an example of “a game card having a predetermined relationship with the reference game card”. In this case, the search condition setting unit 320 sets search conditions for searching for a game card of the same type as the reference game card, based on the type information associated with the reference game card.

Here, the "type information" is information indicating the type of the game card. In other words, the “type information” is information for classifying the game cards. Note that the game cards may include not only one type but also game cards belonging to a plurality of types. For example, in the case of the game object management table TBL101 shown in FIG. 7, the classification according to the characteristics exhibited in the battle, such as the special skill or attribute of the game card, corresponds to an example of “type information”. Not limited to this, the "type information" also includes the sex and classification of the character drawn on the game card (for example, human being, animal, monster, etc.), the type of pattern (figure, mark, etc.), and other visually recognizable classification Corresponds to an example. For example, if the card ID of the reference game card is “0001”, the special skill of the game card having the card ID of “0001” is “aaa+”, so the search condition setting unit 320 at least has the special skill of “aaa+”. The search condition for searching for a game card that is is set.

Further, for example, a game card having higher performance than the reference game card also corresponds to an example of “a game card having a predetermined relationship with the reference game card”. In this case, the search condition setting unit 320 sets a search condition for searching for a game card having a higher performance than the reference game card, based on the performance information associated with the reference game card.

Here, the “performance information” is information regarding the performance (ability) of the game card. For example, in the case of the game object management table TBL101 shown in FIG. 7, the attack power of the game card corresponds to an example of “performance information”. For example, if the card ID of the reference game card is “0001”, the “attack power” of the game card with the card ID “0001” is “8000”, and therefore the search condition setting unit 320 at least the attack power. Will set a search condition for searching for a game card larger than "8000". Note that the “performance information” is not limited to the attack power of the game card, and for example, the defense power, total power, or level of the game card may also correspond to an example of the “performance information”.

Further, for example, a game card of the same type as the reference game card and having higher performance than the reference game card also corresponds to an example of “a game card having a predetermined relationship with the reference game card”. In this case, the search condition setting unit 320 searches for a game card that is of the same type as the reference game card and has higher performance than the reference game card, based on the type information and the performance information associated with the reference game card. Set the search conditions for

Further, for example, a game card having a higher rarity than the reference game card also corresponds to an example of “a game card having a predetermined relationship with the reference game card”. In this case, the search condition setting unit 320 sets a search condition for searching for a game card having a higher rarity than the reference game card, based on the rarity level information associated with the reference game card. Here, the "rareness information" is information indicating the rarity of the game card. For example, in the case of the game object management table TBL101 shown in FIG. 7, the rarity of the game card corresponds to an example of “rareness information”.

The example described above is merely an example of “a game card having a predetermined relationship with the reference game card”, and the “game card having a predetermined relationship with the reference game card” is not limited to the example described above.

[3.4. Search execution unit 330]
The search execution unit 330 is mainly realized by the control unit 31 and the storage unit 32. That is, the search execution unit 330 is realized by the control unit 31 executing processing according to the program stored in the storage unit 32.

The search execution unit 330 searches for the game object based on the search condition set by the search condition setting unit 320. For example, the search execution unit 330 searches for a game card (an example of a game object) based on the search condition set by the search condition setting unit 320.

The search execution unit 330 searches for a game card that satisfies the search condition set by the search condition setting unit 320 based on the data stored in the data storage unit 310. Specifically, the search execution unit 330 may search the game object management table TBL101 stored in the data storage unit 310 for a game card that satisfies the search condition.

[3.5. Display control unit 340]
The display control unit 340 is mainly realized by the control unit 31 and the storage unit 32. That is, the display control unit 340 is realized by the control unit 31 executing processing in accordance with the program stored in the storage unit 32.

The display control unit 340 executes control for displaying on the display unit 15 at least one game object that satisfies the search condition set by the search condition setting unit 320. For example, the display control unit 340 executes control for displaying on the display unit 15 at least one game card (an example of a game object) searched by the search execution unit 330.

For example, the display control unit 340 may execute control for displaying all of the searched game cards on the display unit 15, or may display a part of the searched game cards. The control for displaying on the unit 15 may be executed. For example, the display control unit 340 may execute control for displaying, on the display unit 15, game cards satisfying a predetermined condition among the searched game cards. For example, the display control unit 340 extracts a predetermined number (for example, 5) of game cards in order from the one having the highest performance among the searched game cards and displays the game cards on the display unit 15. The control may be executed. Further, for example, the display control unit 340 may execute control for causing the display unit 15 to display a game card having higher performance than the reference game card among the searched game cards.

Here, “control for displaying the game card on the display unit 15 ”is control for displaying at least one of the information associated with the game card on the display unit 15.

For example, the control for displaying the character information associated with the game card on the display unit 15 corresponds to an example of the above-mentioned “control”. The “character information associated with the game card” includes, for example, the name of the game card, the attack power, the defense power, and the like. Further, the “character information associated with the game card” may include information regarding acquisition of the game card. It should be noted that the "information on obtaining a game card" is information useful for obtaining a game card. For example, “information regarding acquisition of a game card” is information indicating the acquisition method or acquisition condition of a game card. More specifically, for example, "information on obtaining a game card" means information indicating a place where the game card can be obtained, information indicating a scene or event, information indicating the acquisition price of the game card, and difficulty of obtaining the game card. The information is information indicating the period during which the game card can be obtained. Further, for example, the “information regarding acquisition of the game card” may be link information to a screen for acquiring the game card. For example, in the case of the game object management table TBL101 shown in FIG. 7, the “obtaining place” of the game card corresponds to an example of “information about obtaining the game card”.

Further, for example, the control for displaying the image information (for example, the image of the game card) associated with the game card on the display unit 15 also corresponds to an example of the above-mentioned “control”.

The information displayed on the display unit 15 and associated with the game card searched by the search execution unit 330 may be different from the information used to set the search conditions, or may be the same information. May be.

For example, the display control unit 340 causes the display unit 15 to display data associated with at least one game card searched by the search execution unit 330 (for example, displays the search result display screen G103 in FIG. 4). Data) for. Then, the display control unit 340 transmits a screen based on the data (for example, the search result display screen G103 in FIG. 4) to the display unit 15 by transmitting the generated data to the user terminal 10 via the communication unit 33. Display it.

Further, for example, the display control unit 340 is based on at least one game card searched by the search execution unit 330 based on one or more predetermined parameters of information associated with the game card designated as the reference game card. In order to display on the display unit 15 a magnitude relationship between a numerical value and a numerical value based on one or more predetermined parameters of the information associated with the game card searched by the search execution unit 330, in a distinguishable manner. The control may be executed.

Here, the “predetermined parameter” is a specific parameter selected in advance from the parameters included in the information associated with the game card. For example, the attack power or defense power of the game card corresponds to an example of “predetermined parameter”.

The “predetermined parameter” does not have to be fixed to any parameter, and for example, which parameter is used as the “predetermined parameter” may be set based on the reference game card. That is, the “predetermined parameter” may be a different parameter for each reference game card. For example, when the special skill of the reference game card is related to an attack, the attack power may be used as the “predetermined parameter”. On the other hand, when the special skill of the reference game card is related to defense, the defense power may be used as the “predetermined parameter”. Further, for example, when the reference game card is included in the user's deck, which parameter is used as the “predetermined parameter” may be set based on the type of the deck including the reference game card. For example, when the reference game card is included in the attack deck of the user, the attack power may be used as the “predetermined parameter”. On the other hand, when the reference game card is included in the defense deck of the user, the defense power may be used as the “predetermined parameter”.

Further, the above-mentioned “numerical value based on one or more predetermined parameters” may be the value itself of one predetermined parameter, or may be a value obtained based on the value of one or more predetermined parameters. Good. For example, the above numerical value may be the value of the attack power or the defense power itself, or the total power (a numerical value indicating the total performance) obtained based on the values of the attack power and the defense power. Good.

In addition, “control for displaying the searched game card on the display unit 15 in a manner that the magnitude relationship between the numerical value of the reference game card and the numerical value of the searched game card can be identified” means It is a control for displaying the searched game card so that the magnitude relationship between the numerical value of the game card and the searched numerical value of the game card can be visually recognized.

For example, the display position (for example, display position relationship or display order) between the reference game card and the searched game card corresponds to the magnitude relationship between the numerical value of the reference game card and the searched game card. Controlling such display is equivalent to an example of the above-mentioned "control".

Further, for example, when displaying a plurality of game cards side by side in the vertical direction (or the horizontal direction), when the numerical value of the searched game card is larger than the numerical value of the reference game card, the searched game card is set as the reference Controlling the display above the game card (or left) corresponds to an example of the above-mentioned "control". In addition, when the numerical value of the searched game card is smaller than the numerical value of the reference game card, the searched game card may be controlled to be displayed above (or to the left of) the reference game card. This corresponds to an example of “control”.

More specifically, for example, when the higher the numerical value is, the higher the performance of the game card is, the display control unit 340 displays the plurality of game cards searched by the search execution unit 330 in descending order of the numerical value. Control to let. Further, for example, when the smaller the numerical value is, the higher the performance of the game card is, the display control unit 340 controls to display the plurality of game cards searched by the search execution unit 330 in ascending numerical order. ..

In addition, for example, the display mode of the reference game card and the searched game card (display method: brightness, size (display size), color, transparency, etc. of the game card), the numerical value of the reference game card, and the search It is also possible to visually recognize the magnitude relationship between the numerical value of the reference game card and the numerical value of the searched game card by changing based on the numerical value of the retrieved game card. Corresponds to an example.

Specifically, for example, when displaying the reference game card and the searched game card, by changing the brightness of the reference game card and the displayed brightness according to the value of the searched game card, Controlling the display so as to correspond to the magnitude relationship between the numerical value of the game card and the numerical value of the retrieved game card is also equivalent to an example of the above-mentioned "control". For example, when the numerical value of the retrieved game card is larger than the numerical value of the reference game card, the retrieved game card may be controlled to be displayed brighter (or darker) than the reference game card. It corresponds to an example of “control”.

Further, for example, when displaying the reference game card and the searched game card, by changing the display size in accordance with the numerical value of the reference game card and the numerical value of the searched game card, Controlling to display so as to correspond to the magnitude relationship between the numerical value and the numerical value of the searched game card is also equivalent to an example of the above-mentioned "control". For example, if the numerical value of the searched game card is larger than the numerical value of the reference game card, the searched game card may be displayed larger (or smaller) than the reference game card. It corresponds to an example of “control”.

Further, for example, when displaying the reference game card and the searched game card, by changing the displayed color according to the numerical value of the reference game card and the searched game card, the numerical value of the reference game card is changed. It is also equivalent to an example of the above-mentioned "control" to control to display so as to correspond to the magnitude relation between the numerical value of the game card and the numerical value of the retrieved game card. For example, when the numerical value of the searched game card is larger than the numerical value of the reference game card, controlling the searched game card to be displayed in a predetermined color is also equivalent to an example of the above-mentioned "control". To do.

Further, for example, when displaying the reference game card and the searched game card, the numerical value of the reference game card is changed by changing the transparency of the reference game card and the numerical value of the searched game card. It is also equivalent to an example of the above-mentioned "control" to control to display so as to correspond to the magnitude relation between the numerical value of the game card and the numerical value of the retrieved game card. For example, when the numerical value of the searched game card is larger than the numerical value of the reference game card, the searched game card is displayed with a higher transparency (or smaller transparency) than the reference game card. Also corresponds to an example of the above “control”. Further, for example, among the above-mentioned searched game cards, a game card whose numerical value is larger than that of the reference game card is displayed in association with a predetermined figure or mark (for example, the game card is displayed in a frame. It is also equivalent to an example of the above-mentioned "control" to control the display such that the game card is surrounded and displayed, or the game card is displayed with a star mark and a circle mark.

In addition, for example, the display control unit 340 sets at least one game card searched by the search execution unit 330 to one or more predetermined parameters of information associated with the game card designated as the reference game card, By executing control for displaying on the display unit 15 in a manner in which a height relationship between one or a plurality of predetermined parameters of the information associated with the game card searched by the search execution unit 330 can be identified. Good.

Here, the “predetermined parameter” is the same as that described above. In addition, “control for displaying the searched game card on the display unit 15 in a manner that the height relationship between the predetermined parameter of the reference game card and the predetermined parameter of the searched game card can be identified” The control for displaying the searched game card so that the height relationship between the predetermined parameter of the reference game card and the predetermined parameter of the searched game card can be visually recognized. A specific example thereof is "control for displaying the searched game card on the display unit 15 in a mode in which the magnitude relationship between the numerical value of the reference game card and the numerical value of the searched game card can be identified. Is the same as the case of ".

Further, for example, the display control unit 340 allows the display unit 15 to transition at least one game card searched by the search execution unit 330 to a screen regarding acquisition of the game card searched by the search execution unit 330. You may make it perform the control for displaying on.

Here, the “screen for obtaining a game card” may be a screen for obtaining a game card, or may be a screen showing information about obtaining a game card.

Further, "displaying a transition to a screen regarding acquisition of a game card in a possible manner" means, for example, embedding information (for example, link information) for transition to a screen regarding acquisition of a game card in the screen. In other words, “displaying a transition to a screen regarding acquisition of a game card in a possible mode” means, for example, a screen set to transition to a screen regarding acquisition of a game card when a game card is designated. Is to be displayed. In other words, "displaying a transition to a screen regarding acquisition of a game card in a possible mode" means that when a user performs an operation for designating a game card, the screen regarding acquisition of the game card is transitioned to. Is to display the screen set to.

In addition, for example, the display control unit 340 designates the game card included in the user's deck (an example of a combination of game objects set from the plurality of game objects owned by the user) as the reference game card. A control may be executed to cause the display unit 15 to display information regarding the change in the performance of the deck when the game card that has been searched for and the game card that has been searched by the search execution unit 330 have been replaced.

Here, the “deck performance” is the performance of the entire deck (for example, total attack power, total defense power, or attribute bonus of the deck). Further, the “information regarding the change in the performance of the deck” is information indicating how the performance of the deck changes. For example, the “information regarding the change in deck performance” is a combination of information indicating the performance of the deck before the change and information indicating the performance of the deck after the change. Further, for example, the “information regarding the change in the performance of the deck” may be only the information indicating the performance of the deck after the change. Further, for example, the “information regarding the change in the performance of the deck” may be information indicating the degree (change amount) of the change in the performance of the deck. Specifically, for example, “change in deck information” shown in the display area G1032 in FIG. 4 or the display area G1042 in FIG. 5 corresponds to an example of “information regarding change in deck performance”.

[3.6. Display control unit 120]
The display control unit 120 is mainly realized by the control unit 11 and the storage unit 12 of the user terminal 10. That is, the display control unit 120 is realized by the control unit 31 executing processing according to the program stored in the storage unit 12.

The display control unit 120 executes control for displaying on the display unit 15 at least one game object that satisfies the search condition set by the search condition setting unit 320. For example, the display control unit 340 executes control for displaying on the display unit 15 at least one game card (an example of a game object) searched by the search execution unit 330. For example, the display control unit 120 receives the data transmitted from the display control unit 340 via the communication unit 13, and displays a screen on the display unit 15 based on the data. For example, the display control unit 120 displays the search result display screen G103 of FIG. 4 on the display unit 15 based on the data received from the display control unit 340 via the communication unit 13.

[4. Processing executed in game system 1]
9 to 11 are diagrams showing processing executed in the game system 1. 9 to 11, the processing regarding the user terminal 10 is executed by the control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 based on the program stored in the storage unit 12, and the processing regarding the game server 30 is executed by the control unit 31 of the game server 30. It is executed based on the program stored in the storage unit 32. A game card is used as an example of a game object in the processing in FIGS. 9 to 11.

[4.1. Search control processing]
FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing an example of a control process (search control process) for displaying a search result of a game card searched based on a game card (reference game card) designated by the user from a plurality of game cards. Is.
