It may be a non-volatile memory such as a sex solid-state storage device, or a non-temporary recording medium.

The memory 130 stores data used by the information processing system 1. For example, the memory 130 stores data related to game control such as user data and event data. The details of each data will be described later with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

Further, as another example of the memory 130, one or a plurality of storage devices installed remotely from the CPU 110 may be used. In certain embodiments, memory 130 stores programs, modules and data structures executed by CPU 110, or a subset thereof.

The CPU 110 constitutes a game control unit 112, an event control unit 113, a draft control unit 114, an aggregation unit 115, and a result control unit 116 by executing a program stored in the memory 130.

The game control unit 112 controls the execution of the disclosed game. For example, the game control unit 112 controls user registration and data acquisition regarding an event. Further, the game control unit 112 includes an event control unit 113, a draft control unit 114, an aggregation unit 115, and a result control unit 116 in order to control the execution of the game.

The event control unit 113 controls the draft target event. For example, the event control unit 113 sets a draft target or sets a predetermined standard for scoring for an arbitrary event. In addition, the event control unit 113 acquires event information regarding at least one event selected by each user from a plurality of events including events related to entertainment. For example, when the user selects an event using the user terminal 20, the event control unit 113 acquires the event information selected by the user from the user terminal 20 via the network communication interface 120.

Further, the event control unit 113 may allow the user to first select the genre of the event and then select the event (target game) to be drafted. For example, the user first selects one genre from a plurality of event genres such as sports, entertainment, drama, products, academic achievements, and user-created events. Next, the user selects an event in each genre that he / she wants to participate in. The event control unit 113 may acquire the first event information of the selected genre and the second event information of the selected event (target game).

The event control unit 113 classifies each user who has selected the same first event into the first group based on the acquired event information. For example, the event control unit 113 collectively groups the users who have selected the event for each event. In addition, the maximum number of participants may be set for each event. In this case, the draft may be canceled for events with less than the maximum number of participants.

The draft control unit 114 acquires a predetermined number of draft targets selected by each user in the first group from the draft targets associated with the first event. For example, the draft control unit 114 sets the draft order for the users in the group, and causes each user to select the draft target in order. The draft target includes at least one of a sports player, a program, a product, whether or not a predetermined event occurs, a set including a plurality of draft targets, and the like.

The totaling unit 115 totals the total score of each user in the first group at the end of the first event by using the score given to each draft target based on the predetermined criteria for the first event. For example, the totaling unit 115 totals the scores given to each draft target according to the result of the event for each user based on the predetermined criteria for the score for each event, and obtains the total score (total score).

The result control unit 116 outputs the aggregation result to each user in the first group. For example, the result control unit 116 controls to transmit the aggregation result to the user terminal 20 of each user. In addition, the result control unit 116 gives a reward based on the aggregation result to the users in the first group.

Rewards include, for example, at least one such as in-game currency, digital or physical cards, and participatory experiences.

As a result, as long as it is the above-mentioned disclosure content, by using the new idea of drafting all events, not limited to sports, and deciding the winner using the points given by the predetermined criteria, all You can turn the event into a game and improve the fun of this game. In addition, with the above-mentioned disclosure contents, instead of passively consuming various information about various events to the user, it is possible to support the predetermined target of various events or investigate the predetermined target in order to draft it. However, it is possible to actively consume information.

Further, the draft control unit 114 may include that a set including a plurality of preset draft targets is drafted by the user. For example, the draft control unit 114 may include a set including a plurality of draft targets as selection targets in the draft. Specifically, when the event is soccer, the event control unit 113 targets one set including a plurality of players from the same area as a draft target, or when the event competes for the audience rating of the drama of a predetermined season, the event control unit 113 is used for each TV station. One set including a plurality of dramas may be drafted.

As a result, the communication load can be reduced and the processing load in the system can be reduced by reducing the number of selections by draft. In addition, by providing the set, it is possible to make the user think about the combination of draft targets in the set and improve the fun of the game.

Further, the draft control unit 114 may include a preset target regarding the presence or absence of occurrence of a predetermined event as the draft target. For example, when the event is baseball, the draft control unit 114 sells a predetermined number or more of certain sweets when the event competes for the number of sweets sold in a predetermined season, whether or not a perfect game will occur in the game. Whether or not it is done may be included in the draft target.

As a result, the fun of the game can be improved by increasing the variation of the draft target. In addition, even events that are not normally draft targets can be draft targets by using the presence / absence, frequency, etc. of occurrence, and even arbitrary events can be drafted in the game of the present disclosure. Can be made feasible.

Further, the event control unit 113 may acquire a request for creating a predetermined event from the user, create a predetermined event in response to the request for creation, and include the predetermined event in a plurality of events. Further, the event control unit 113 may set a predetermined standard regarding the draft target associated with the predetermined event and the score given in response to the predetermined event. For example, when the event control unit 113 receives a request from a user to draft stock price forecasts for a plurality of predetermined stocks, it creates this event, selects the stocks to be drafted, and sets a predetermined standard for scoring. In this case, after a predetermined period, the user with the highest total score given by the drafted stock price may be the winner.

This allows the user to actively participate in the event and promotes the user's active thinking. In addition, since the draft operation management side can create an event at the request of the user, it is possible to create an event of the user's preference. In addition, the operation management side can prepare various events in order to allow the user to freely create an event.

Further, the result control unit 116 may output draft data regarding the draft status of each user in the first group to the company related to the first event. For example, the result control unit 116 may output the draft data as marketing data to, for example, a company that hosts an event or a company that conducts marketing.

Draft data is, for example, draft performance data such as draft ranking, how many users have selected, user information such as gender and age of selected users, draft date, until a predetermined number of people are gathered. It may include draft bibliographic data such as the time required for.

As a result, the data handled by the disclosed information processing system 1 can be utilized as marketing data, and a new business can be created.

The draft control unit 114 may include automatically drafting and selecting the draft target based on the priority order given by the user to the draft target. For example, after a predetermined number of people have gathered for an event, a predetermined time is given to the user until the draft is actually started, and a time is provided for the user to think about the ranking of the draft target. In this case, within this predetermined time, the user is made to give priority to the draft target, and when the user's selection comes around, the draft control unit 114 has the draft target having the higher priority from the selection targets. It may be automatically selected in order from. When the draft target is automatically selected, the draft control unit 114 may pass the selection right to the next user without waiting for the time limit for the selection given to the user.

As a result, the processing time related to the draft processing can be shortened, and the processing efficiency of the entire system can be improved. It also makes it possible to prevent the user from constraining the time during the draft.

<Specific example of draft>
Next, draft A and draft B applicable to the disclosed technology will be described. An example of Draft A and Draft B is as follows.

(Draft A)
-Different participants (users) cannot select the same draft target-Participants select draft targets in order-Maximum number of participants: 10
・ Maximum number of participants that can be set when Draft A is created by participants: 10
・ The participant with the highest total points earned by the selected draft target will earn the participation fee of all participants as a reward. ・ No other participants will earn anything. ・ If the participation fee is 0 coins, the reward will be paid. Also 0 coins (participation fee is the in-game currency required to participate in Draft A)

(Draft B)
-Different participants can select the same draft target-Participants can freely select players within the time limit-Maximum number of participants: All users-Settings when draft B is created by participants Maximum number of participants possible: Maximum number of friends ・ In the case of draft B set by the management side, ranking rewards will be given in order from the participant with the largest total points earned by the selected draft target ・ Created and set by the participants In the case of Draft B, the participant who ranked first gets the participation fee of all participants ・ If the participation fee is 0 coins, the reward is also 0 coins

Next, processing examples of each draft will be described in order.
(Draft A processing procedure)
(1) Participants tap the event banner they want to participate in on the home screen. The draft processing unit 215 of the user terminal 20 transmits the first event information regarding the tapped event to the server 10, and the event control unit 113 of the server 10 sends the first event information. , Acquire this first event information. For example, the first event information includes the genre of the event to be drafted. As a specific example, the first event information includes a match to be held on the first to third days of the qualifying for the soccer World Cup.

(2) Participants tap the target game of draft A that they want to participate in from the draft list. The draft processing unit 215 of the user terminal 20 sends the second event information about the tapped draft A to the server 10, and the event of the server 10 The control unit 113 acquires the second event information. For example, the second event information includes the target game of the draft. In addition, the participation fee (coin or digital card (also simply referred to as "card")) and the number of participants of the target game differ depending on the target game. In addition, the genre of the event and the target game may be referred to as an "event".

For example, the participation conditions and rewards of the target game of Draft A are given below.
・ If the participation fee is 1 coin and the number of participants is 2, the participant who wins the target game will get 2 free coins. ・ If the participation fee is 3 coins and the number of participants is 2, the participant who won the target game will get 6 coins free of charge. If the cost is 1 coin and the number of participants is 5, the participant who wins the target game gets 5 coins free of charge / participation fee card. If the number of participants is 2, the participant who wins the target game gets 2 cards / participation fee. If there are 3 cards and 2 participants, the participant who wins the target game will get 6 cards / participation fee card. If the number of participants is 5, the participant who won the target game will get 5 cards.

(3) Participants accept the payment of the participation fee because the participation confirmation pop-up is displayed. The draft processing unit 215 of the user terminal 20 transmits the acceptance result information to the server 10 in response to the user operation, and the server 10 accepts the payment. Upon receiving the consent result information, the event control unit 113 subtracts the number of coins or the number of cards required for participation from the number of coins / cards possessed by the user held in the user data of the participant.

(4) Participants wait until the participation slot is full. The event control unit 113 of the server 10 participates from the user until the number of participants set in the target game is satisfied or the time limit expires. Wait for. During this time, the participating user can freely check the list of draft targets associated with the predetermined target game, the draft details, and the like while waiting.

Further, the draft processing unit 215 of the user terminal 20 makes it possible to assign priorities (for example, stars) to the draft targets in order, and the priority information is acquired by the draft control unit 114 of the server 10. In addition, the order in which the stars are attached may indicate the high priority. As a result, when a participant selects the auto-draft mode or the time of his / her selection number has passed, the players are automatically selected in the order of stars. The draft control unit 114 of the server 10 can also change the draft selection order by exchanging the participants with stars.

For example, the waiting time for recruiting participants may be one minute after someone participates. If the user's participation limit does not reach the upper limit even after 1 minute has passed, the target game may be canceled. In case of cancellation, the participation fee paid by the user will be returned to the user. Also, if the user is paying paid coins, the same number of free coins may be returned.

The draft control unit 114 provides a list of draft targets, for example, in descending order of the average value of points earned in the latest five games for each draft target (first order), and from the start of recruitment within the event to the present. , Control so that the order with the most selected times (second order) is displayed. Further, the draft control unit 114 may switch between the first order and the second order according to the user operation.

(5) The draft control unit 114 of the server 10 in which the selection order is randomly determined after the participation frame is full cooperates with the draft processing unit 215 of the user terminal 20 to perform an animation for determining the selection order. It is controlled so that it is displayed on the display screen of the terminal 20. Also, this animation can be skipped by tapping. Further, when the draft control unit 114 becomes full, the draft control unit 114 sends a Push notification including a message indicating that the participants are full to the participants who have not started the application of this game. The draft control unit 114 makes it impossible to refuse participation when the participants are full.

(6) Granting 1 minute of examination time before the start of the draft As described above, the draft control unit 114 freely provides participants with a list of draft targets, draft details, etc. even while waiting for the target game to be held. Allows you to confirm. The draft control unit 114 also makes it possible to add a star to the draft target during this examination time. When the participant taps the display portion of the remaining time, the draft control unit 114 ends the examination time for this participant. In addition, the draft control unit 114 controls to start the draft when all the other participants finish the examination time in less than one minute.

(7) The draft control unit 114 of the server 10 that sequentially selects the draft target to be drafted from the participants in the first order selects the draft target selected by the user operation detected by the draft processing unit 215 of the user terminal 20. Select and associate with this user. In this case, the draft control unit 114 may set a time limit for selection, for example, 30 seconds. Further, the draft control unit 114 may cooperate with the draft processing unit 215 of the user terminal 20 to perform an effect such that the display time turns red from 10 seconds before and the countdown is performed by sound and vibration. If the participant does not select the draft target within the time limit, the draft control unit 114 automatically selects the draft target having the highest priority. If the draft target has not been given priority by the participants, the draft target is selected based on a predetermined criterion. The predetermined criteria are, for example, the draft target with the highest score scored in the last few games.

Further, the draft control unit 114 may include a CPU participant controlled by the CPU 110 among the participants. In this case, the draft control unit 114 selects, for example, the draft target having the highest average score when the turn of selection of CPU participants comes around. Whether or not participants other than CPU participants are starred draft targets is not related to the selection of CPU participants. When the turn of selection of CPU participants comes, the draft control unit 114 immediately selects the draft target so as not to make the participants wait.

For example, the draft selection order proceeds as follows. It is assumed that the draft control unit 114 determines the order of the participants P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 in that order. In this case, an example of the draft selection order is as follows.
1st lap: P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 (select in order from the left)
2nd lap: P5, P4, P3, P2, P1
3rd lap: P1, P2, P3, P4, P5
4th lap: P5, P4, P3, P2, P1
5th lap: P1, P2, P3, P4, P5

The draft control unit 114 may determine the number of frames for selecting the draft target for each event. Further, when the draft control unit 114 has a position or the like in the draft target, the draft control unit 114 may determine the number of frames for each position. For example, when the target game is a basketball game, the center has 1 slot, the forward has 2 slots, and the guard has 2 slots. If a participant selects one center, that participant cannot select a player for the second center in the next turn. When the draft control unit 114 automatically selects the draft target, if all the draft targets with stars are already acquired positions, the draft control unit 114 has the average score of the draft targets of the positions where the frame still remains. Select the highest draft target.

When displaying the screen for selecting the draft target, the display control unit 214 of the user terminal 20 has a partial UI (participant A vs. participant B) and three or more participants. The design of the User Interface) may be changed. In addition, the display control unit 214 may be able to confirm which player is selected by all the participants from the team in the footer menu during the draft. Even if the participant taps the footer menu described above before the draft is started, the display control unit 214 may display "The draft is not displayed until the start".

(8) When all the participants have selected all the draft targets, the display control unit 214 of the user terminal 20 transitions to the draft details screen of My Draft, and the total average points of the draft targets selected by the participants are totaled for each participant. The data of the draft target selected in may be displayed. Further, the display control unit 214 may display an outline of which participant has selected which draft target in which order. My draft is, for example, a UI component that can be selected from the home screen.

(9) When the event of the target game is started, the screen control unit 213 of the user terminal 20 that can confirm the transition of the score during the match from each draft of the LIVE screen is CMS (Contents Management) regarding the update of the score during the event. The screen information is updated every time the event status is updated on Server). The CMS update may be directly imported and updated on the management side, or may be updated in cooperation with an external service. Participants' own provisional scores and rankings may be displayed.

(10) As soon as the event is completed and the processing is completed, the score results of the participants can be confirmed from the result screen. After the event is completed, the totaling unit 115 totals the final scores of each draft target, and for each user, Calculate the total score earned by each selected draft target. The result control unit 116 gives a reward to a predetermined user based on the final result.

(Draft B processing procedure)
Next, an example of the processing procedure of the draft B will be described, but the processing different from the case of the draft A will be mainly described.
(1) Participants tap the event banner they want to participate in on the home screen. This process is the same as the process of draft A.

(2) Participants tap the target game of draft B that they want to participate in from the draft list. Draft A and draft B in the event of the same genre may be displayed in the same list. The participation fee (coin or card) and the number of participants differ depending on the contents of Draft B.

For example, the participation conditions and rewards of the target game of Draft B are given below.
・ If you win the target game with 1 coin participation fee and 2 participants, you will get the 1st place reward. ・ If you win the 3rd place in the target game with 1 coin participation fee and 5 participants, you will get the 3rd place reward. If you win the target game with 1 entry fee card and 2 participants, you will get the 1st place reward. ・ If you win the 2nd place in the target game with 1 entry fee card and 5 participants, you will get the 2nd place reward.

(3) Participants accept the payment of the participation fee because the participation confirmation pop-up is displayed. This process is basically the same as the process of Draft A.

(4) Participants wait until the participation slot becomes full or the recruitment period ends. This process is basically the same as the process of draft A, but the event control unit 113 of the server 10 In the case of Draft B, the maximum number of participation slots may be all users. When a user creates a target game, the number of friends of the user is the upper limit of the number of participants that can be set. The end date and time of recruitment for participation (for example, up to seconds) is set. When created by the user, if the recruitment start to end is less than 30 minutes, the event control unit 113 controls the user to display a warning if the period is too short. The recruitment period itself may be set to less than 30 minutes.

(5) When the participation slot is full or the recruitment end date and time is reached, the draft is started and the draft target is selected. This process is basically the same as the draft A process. However, the draft control unit 114 may change the selected draft target up to 5 minutes before the start of the event. In addition, the draft selection screen may have the same UI design regardless of the number of participants. The draft control unit 114 may make it possible to confirm a list in which the draft targets most selected by the participants in the draft B are arranged in order from the team in the footer menu during the draft.

(6) You can move from My Draft to Draft and change the draft target at any time up to 5 minutes before the event starts. The Draft Control Unit 114 can change the draft target within a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) before the event starts. It may be.

(7) When the event of the target game is started, the transition of the score during the match can be confirmed from each draft on the LIVE screen. This process is the same as the process of draft A.

(8) As soon as the event is completed and the processing is completed, the score result of the participant can be confirmed from the result screen. The result control unit 116 can confirm the order of the predetermined participant, the order of the surrounding area, and the order of the higher rank. It may be. Further, the result control unit 116 may be able to confirm only the ranking of the participants themselves and the reward content after a predetermined period (for example, one month) or more has passed from the end of the event.

<Operation explanation>
Next, each operation of the information processing system 1 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of processing related to the game according to the embodiment. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the user terminal 20 and the server 10 cooperate to execute the process.

In step S102, when the user operates to start the application of the game of the present disclosure, the display control unit 214 of the user terminal 20 controls to display the screen information of the home screen generated by the screen control unit 213 on the display 251. To do.

In step S104, the draft processing unit 215 of the user terminal 20 detects whether or not the genre of the event has been selected by the user. If the genre is selected (step S104-YES), the process proceeds to step S106, and if the genre is not selected (step S104-NO), the process returns to step S104.

In step S106, the draft processing unit 215 of the user terminal 20 detects whether or not the target game for drafting has been selected. If the target game is selected (step S106-YES), the process proceeds to step S108, and if the target game is not selected (step S106-NO), the process returns to step S106.

In step S108, the event control unit 113 of the server 10 determines whether or not the predetermined number of participation slots set for the target game is aligned. If the predetermined number of people is complete (step S108-YES), the process proceeds to step S110, and if the predetermined number of people is not complete (step S108-NO), the process returns to step S108. At this time, if the predetermined number of players is not available within the predetermined time, the event control unit 113 may decide that the target game is not established.

In step S110, the draft control unit 114 of the server 10 and the draft processing unit 215 of the user terminal 20 determine the selected draft target by using the information regarding the draft target selected by the user. The detailed processing of the draft will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step S112, the aggregation unit 115 of the server 10 determines whether or not the event has been started. The start of an event can be determined, for example, by the start date and time. When the event is started (step S112-YES), the process proceeds to step S114, and when the event has not yet started (step S112-NO), the process returns to step S112.

In step S114, the aggregation unit 115 of the server 10 acquires the latest information of the event from, for example, CMS, and updates the score acquired by the draft target based on the latest information. The screen control unit 213 of the user terminal 20 acquires the updated score information from the server 10, updates the score of each user or the user himself / herself based on the updated score information, and updates the screen information. The display control unit 214 controls the display of the latest screen information on the display 251 each time the screen information is updated.

In step S116, the aggregation unit 115 of the server 10 determines whether or not the event has ended. The end of the event can be determined by acquiring the end information from the CMS or the end date and time. When the event ends (step S116-YES), the process proceeds to step S118, and if the event is still running (step S116-NO), the process returns to step S114.

In step S118, the result control unit 116 of the server 10 acquires the final result based on the final score of each draft target from the aggregation unit 115 after the event ends, and rewards a predetermined user based on the final result. Is given.

According to the above processing, the information processing system 1 causes the user to select an event to be drafted from various events, not limited to sports, and drafts the draft target associated with the selected event. By having them experience it, the fun of the game can be enhanced. In addition, by considering and selecting the draft target supported by the participants themselves within the time limit and investigating, it is possible to give the user an active analysis and a trigger of the investigation.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of draft processing according to one embodiment. In the example shown in FIG. 8, both draft A and draft B described above can be supported.

In step S202, the draft control unit 114 of the server 10 determines the draft order for the participants who have selected the same target game according to a predetermined criterion. The predetermined standard is, for example, random.

In step S204, the draft control unit 114 of the server 10 sequentially determines the participants (users) to be selected.

In step S206, the draft control unit 114 of the server 10 determines whether or not the draft target is selected within the time limit according to the user operation. If the draft target is selected by the user (step S206-YES), the process proceeds to step S208, and if the draft target is not selected by the user (step S206-NO), the process proceeds to step S210.

In step S208, the draft control unit 114 of the server 10 acquires the draft target information selected by the user operation from the user terminal 20, selects the draft target indicated by the acquired information, and the turn of selection comes. Correspond to the user who was.

In step S210, the draft control unit 114 of the server 10 determines in advance whether or not the priority has been given by the user. If the priority is given (step S210-YES), the process proceeds to step S212, and if the priority is not given (step S210-NO), the process proceeds to step S214.

In step S212, the draft control unit 114 of the server 10 selects the draft target based on the priority and associates it with the user whose turn has come to select.

In step S214, the draft control unit 114 of the server 10 selects the draft target based on a predetermined criterion, and associates it with the user whose turn of selection has come.

In step S216, the draft control unit 114 of the server 10 selects a predetermined number of draft targets by all the participants, and determines whether or not the draft has been completed. When the draft is finished (step S216-YES), the draft process is finished, and if the draft is not finished, the process returns to step S204 to determine the participants in the next turn.

Specifically, if a plurality of players from the same university or high school are drafted, the counting unit 115 may add a predetermined point by increasing the team strength.

It is also possible to draft a combination of multiple events of different genres as a heterogeneous draft conference. For example, the event control unit 113 may generate an event that drafts a predetermined number of events from professional baseball, soccer, golf, elections, musical instrument competitions, and the like.

If the draft target is a real person or thing, the score may be set based on the actual performance or status of the real person or thing. Further, the score to be given may be set by using the information transmitted by the button provided at a predetermined position (for example, a shop). For example, when a consumer purchases a product, if the consumer likes the store, it is possible to generate an event such as the popularity ranking of the store by pressing a button placed at the cash register. Become.

In addition, the information processing system 1 may distribute a part of the profit obtained from billing or the like to an organization or a company that holds an event. As a result, a part of the amount charged by the participant and collected by the charge can be given to the organization or company related to the draft target supported by the participant.

As described above, the embodiments and modifications are examples for explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not intended to be limited only to the embodiments and modifications, and the present invention is various as long as it does not deviate from the gist thereof.
