[1. First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of a game system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a game server 30 and a user terminal 10. The game server 30 and the user terminal 10 are connected to the network N. For this reason, mutual data communication is possible between the game server 30 and the user terminal 10.

  The game server 30 is realized by a server computer, for example. As shown in FIG. 1, the game server 30 includes a control unit 31, a storage unit 32, and a communication unit 33.

  The control unit 31 includes, for example, at least one microprocessor and executes processing according to an operating system and other programs. The storage unit 32 includes a main storage unit (for example, RAM) and an auxiliary storage unit (for example, a hard disk drive or a solid state drive). The communication unit 33 is for performing data communication via the network N.

  The user terminal 10 is a computer used by the user. In the present embodiment, the user terminal 10 is a computer used by the user U to play a game. The user terminal 10 includes, for example, a home game machine (stationary game machine), a portable game machine, an arcade game machine, a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a portable information terminal (including a tablet computer), and a desktop computer. Or a laptop computer. As shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a communication unit 13, an input unit 14, and a display unit 15.

  The control unit 11, the storage unit 12, and the communication unit 13 are the same as the control unit 31, the storage unit 32, and the communication unit 33 of the game server 30. The input unit 14 includes, for example, a game controller, a key, a lever, a touch panel, a mouse, or the like, and is used by a user to perform an input operation such as a game operation.

And you may make it supply a program and data to the game server 30 or the user terminal 10 via an information storage medium.

  In the following, a case where a mobile phone (smartphone) provided with a touch panel is the user terminal 10 and a game program supplied from the game server 30 is executed on the mobile phone (smartphone) will be described.

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

  For example, in the game system 1, a game object is given to the user, and a game using the game object to which the user is given is executed. A “game object” is a target that can be used in a game. As will be described later, the “game object” can be a search target 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 “game object”.

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

  In this game, a user constructs a deck using a game card owned by the user, and explores a cave or a ruin using the deck. 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 that can be arbitrarily used or sold by the user. The “deck” is a combination of game cards selected from among game cards owned by the user with an upper limit of a predetermined number. The deck is used when fighting an enemy encountered during exploration, or when fighting a deck constructed by another user.

  FIGS. 2 to 5 show examples of game screens 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, a list of game cards owned by the user is displayed on the list screen G101 in FIG. For example, the user can obtain a game card by operating the user terminal 10 and executing a game event (for example, an event such as searching for a treasure box or drawing a lottery). Can own game cards. Note that the game server 30 may manage the game card information owned by the user in association with the user identification information (user ID).

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

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

  “Attribute” indicates the type of game card. For example, the “attribute” can be said to be a classification representing the characteristics of game cards in battle. For example, a game card having a specific “special skill” may exert a predetermined action in a battle on a game card having a specific “attribute”. Specific examples of the “attribute” include “flame”, “forest”, “water”, “light”, and “darkness”, and any of these five types is “attribute” of each game card. "Is set. “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 a game card up to a predetermined number from among the game cards owned by the user. That is, the user selects a predetermined number of game cards from among the game cards owned by the user as a member of the deck. However, in this case, it is necessary to select the deck members so that the total cost of the game cards that are members of the deck is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit value. For example, in a game, an attack deck used for an attack during a battle and a defense deck used for defense may be organized.

  “Attack (attack power)” indicates an attack power when attacking an enemy. For example, the higher the “attack (attack power)” value, the higher the attack power. The higher the attack power, the greater the damage to the enemy.

  “Prevention (defense power)” indicates the defense power when attacked by an enemy. For example, the higher the value of “prevention (defense power)”, the higher the defense power. The higher your defense, the less damage you will receive from enemy attacks.

  For example, in the 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. You may determine victory or defeat by comparing the magnitude with the total defense power. Specifically, if the total attack power of the attacking deck is greater than the total defense power of the defending deck, the attacking side wins, and the total attack power of the attacking deck is the total defense power of the defending deck. If it is smaller, the defender may win.

  “Special skill” indicates the presence / absence and type of special skill of the game card. The “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 a 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 is performed on the enemy, and damage larger 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 a special attack) may be performed on an enemy.

  Note that, as described above, in a mode in which winning / losing is determined by comparing the total attack power of the attacking deck and the total defense power of the defending deck, the game cards included in the user's deck The total attack power (or total defense power) of the user's deck may be increased by generating a special effect corresponding to the special skill. That is, when a special effect occurs, the total attack power (or total defense power) of the user's deck may be larger than when no special effect occurs.

  The special effect by the special skill of the game card may occur even when the game card is not included in the deck. A special skill may have a level (special skill level). The higher the special skill level, the higher the special skill level, the greater the probability that a special effect will occur and the effectiveness of the special effect (for example, damage to the enemy). , The rate of increase of the total attack power (or total defense power), the amount of increase, etc.) may be increased.

  Special effects due to special skills are generated according to combinations of special skills and attributes of game cards in the deck. The performance of the deck (for example, attack power or defensive power) is also set according to the combination of the special skill and attribute of the game card in the deck. For this reason, if the combination of the special skill, attribute, etc. of the game card in the deck changes, the above-mentioned special effect 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. 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 the deck, if the game card X is to be strengthened by replacing the game card X with another game card, the game card X is simply A game card having the same special skill (poison) as the game card X and having a higher performance than the game card X, instead of replacing the game card with a higher performance (for example, attack power or defensive power). It needs to be replaced with a card. In the following, a game card that is a candidate to be replaced with a game card in the deck (in the case of the above example, a game card having the same feat as the game card X in the deck, and the game card X A screen transition example for obtaining information on a game card with higher performance than the above will be described.

  For example, when obtaining information on a game card that is a candidate for replacement with the game card C101, the user designates the game card C101 by an operation (for example, a touch operation) on the list screen G101 shown in FIG. When the game card C101 is designated, a detail screen showing details of the game card C101 is displayed. FIG. 3 shows an example of a detail screen.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the detailed screen G102 displays various information associated with the game card C101. In the detail screen G102 of FIG. 3, “rareity”, “sale price”, “transaction medal”, and “number of circulation” are displayed in addition to the information displayed on the list screen G101 of FIG.

  “Rarity” indicates the rarity of the game card. For example, “Super Rare (SR) +”, “Super Rare (SR)”, “Rare (R) +”, “Rare (R)”, “Normal (N) +”, “Normal (N)”, etc. Is set as the rarity of each game card. In the above example, “Super rare (SR) +” is arranged in order of increasing rarity. Generally, the higher the rarity of a game card, the higher the performance of the game card.

  The “sale price” is an amount obtained when the game card is sold. For example, the “sale price” may be represented by virtual money distributed in the game. The “transaction medal” is information regarding the number of medals necessary for obtaining the game card. “Number of circulation” is information indicating the number of game cards present 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. It should be noted that information indicating the degree of the proportion of users who own game cards may be displayed as the “circulation number”.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the details screen G <b> 102 displays an icon P <b> 102 on which “sale” text is displayed. When the icon P102 is selected, a sale screen for selling the game card C101 displayed on the detail screen G102 is displayed on the display unit 15 of the user terminal 10.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, an icon P <b> 101 on which the text “Display upper card” is displayed is displayed on the detail screen G <b> 102. The “upper card” is, for example, a game card that has the same special skill as the game card C101 displayed on the detailed screen G102 and has higher performance (for example, attack power or defense strength) than the game card C101. is there.

  When the icon P101 is selected on the detail screen G102 in FIG. 3, the game card C101 displayed on the detail screen G102 is set as a reference (hereinafter referred to as “reference game card”) for searching for a higher-order card. The game card search is executed based on the game card C101 set as the reference game card. Specifically, a game card having the same special skill 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 a 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 game cards searched based on the game card C101. As shown in FIG. 4, the search result display screen G103 includes a search condition change region G1031 and a search result display region G1032. In the search result display area G1032, a list of game cards having the same special skill as the game card C101 is displayed as a search result.

  Thus, in the game system 1, a game card having the same special skill as the reference game card is displayed by designating the game card as a reference game card from among the game cards owned by the user. . In this case, a search condition for searching for a game card having the same special skill as the reference game card is set based on the special skill of the game card designated as the reference game card. For this reason, the user does not need to take the trouble of taking notes of the special skill of the game card owned by the user or inputting the search condition while referring to it. In this way, the game system 1 reduces the user's 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, the game card C111, the game card C101 (reference game card), and the game card C112 are displayed in the descending order of attack power as the search results. In other words, in the search result display area G1032, the list of searched game cards identifies the magnitude of the attack 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.

  Thus, 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 that satisfy the search condition, The magnitude relation of can be identified. For this reason, the user can easily grasp 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 with the attack power as a key, but the searched game cards may be sorted and displayed with the defense power as a key. . That is, the searched game cards may be displayed in order of descending defense power. In other words, the list of searched game cards may be displayed in such a manner that the level of defense power between the game card C101 set as the reference game card and the other game cards C111 and C112 can be identified. . Note that a key for sorting the searched game cards may be set based on the type of special skill that the reference game card has. 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” may be used as a key for sorting.

  Alternatively, the total power calculated based on the attack power and defensive power of the game card (for example, the total value of the attack power and defensive power of the game card) is used as a key for sorting the searched game cards. Also good. For example, it is good also as displaying the searched game card in order with big comprehensive power. That is, it is good also as displaying the list of the searched game cards in the aspect which can identify the magnitude of the total power between the game card C101 set as a reference | standard game card, and the other game cards C111 and C112. .

  In addition, the rarity of the game card may be used as a key for sorting the searched game cards. For example, the searched game cards may be displayed in order of high rarity. That is, it is good also as displaying the list of the searched game cards in the aspect which can identify the level of the rarity between the game card C101 set as a reference | standard game card, and the other game cards C111 and C112. In this way, the user can easily grasp 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.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, the game card C101 set as the reference game card is displayed as distinguished from the other game cards C111 and C112 in the search result display area G1032, and is 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 (such as an icon) in association with the game card C101 set as the reference game card. Further, for example, by changing the display mode (for example, character color, background color, display size, etc.) of the display area G1032A displaying the game card C101 set as the reference game card from the other game cards C111, C112, the reference game The game card C101 set as a card may be identified.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, various information associated with each game card is displayed in the search result display area G1032. Specifically, the search result display area G1032 includes “attribute”, “name”, “Lv (level)”, “cost”, “attack (attack power)”, “defence ( Information on “defense power”, “special skill”, “location of acquisition”, and “change in deck information”.

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

  As described above, in the game system 1, information regarding the acquisition of the game cards C111 and C112 satisfying the search condition is displayed on the search result display screen G103. For this reason, 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 related to the acquisition of the game cards C111 and C112 that satisfy the search conditions without transition 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 time and effort of the user to obtain information regarding the acquisition of the game cards C111 and C112 that satisfy the search conditions.

  The above “change in deck information” is information representing a change in the performance of the deck when the game cards C111 and C112 that satisfy the search conditions 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.

  “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 card in the deck. For example, the total attack power 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 related to performance determined by a combination of attributes of game cards in the deck. For example, as the “total attack power” and “attribute bonus” values increase, damage to the enemy during battle increases.

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

  As described above, in the game system 1, a change in the 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. Is displayed on the search result display screen G103. For this reason, the user can grasp in advance the change in the performance of the deck when the replacement is performed. That is, the user can grasp the change in the performance of the deck when the replacement is performed without actually acquiring and replacing the game card C111 or C112 that satisfies the search condition.

  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, the “total defense power” of the deck is displayed instead of the “total attack power” of the deck. The information indicating the change of “” may be included in the “change of deck information”. “Total defense strength” is information indicating the defense strength of the entire deck. The “total defense strength” is determined based on the defense strength of the game cards in the deck. For example, the total 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 game card search condition. For example, the user can set conditions to be added to the game card search conditions. That is, the user can add conditions 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 displaying a text “change condition”. . 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. . 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 for, The search result is displayed in the search result display area G1032.

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

  As shown in FIG. 5, the selection game card acquisition screen G104 has a display area G1041 for displaying information associated with the selected game card, and the members of the deck are selected from the reference game card (game card C101). 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 Display area G1044. 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. It is.

  In the input field G1043, an input field P121 for inputting the number of medals used for bidding for the selected game card, an icon P122 for displaying the text of “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 in FIG. 5, a bidding process for the selected game card is executed with the number of medals input in the input field P121.

  In the display area G1044, past transaction history related to the selected game card is displayed. For example, the transaction history includes information on the date and time of the transaction and the number of medals required for the transaction completion of the selected game card. The user can refer to the transaction history displayed in the display area G1044 when determining the number of medals 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 transition from the search result display screen G103 to the acquisition screen G104. . By doing in this way, the effort of the user required in order to change to the screen regarding acquisition of the game card which satisfies search conditions is reduced.

The game server 30 (game object search control device) includes a data storage unit 310, a search condition setting unit 320, a search execution unit 330, and a display control unit 340 as functions.

  In the user terminal 10, each function included in the user terminal 10 may be realized by the processing performed by the control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 according to a program stored in the storage unit 12. In the game server 30, the above-described functions included in the game server 30 may be realized by executing processing according to a program stored in the storage unit 32 by the control unit 31 of the game server 30. Hereinafter, details of functions realized by the game system 1 will be described.

[3.1. Data storage unit 310]
The data storage unit 310 is mainly realized by the storage unit 32 of the game server 30. Data storage unit 310 may be realized by a storage unit included in another device capable of data communication with game server 30. The data storage unit 310 stores various data necessary for a game executed in the game system 1. For example, the data storage unit 310 controls information on game objects used in games executed in the game system 1, information on game objects owned by respective users, and games executed using the game objects. This information is 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 TBL 101, a “card ID” 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 “rareness”, game card “attribute”, game card “specialty”, game card “attack”, game card “defense”, game card “cost”, game card “sale” Information about items such as “price” and “acquisition place” 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 game cards (an example of game objects) 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, "Card level" indicating the level of the game card itself, "Special skill level" indicating the level of the game card special skill, "Acquisition date" indicating the date and time when the game card was acquired, Game card Information on items such as “attack deck” that is a flag indicating whether or not is set as an attack deck and “defense deck” that is a flag indicating whether or not a game card is set as a defense deck is stored. The When the user owns a plurality of the same game cards, the “card ID” of the 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 game object designation receiving unit 110 is realized by the control unit 11 executing the process according to the program stored in the storage unit 12.

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

  For example, the game object designation accepting unit 110 may accept designation of one game card based on an input accepted from the user by the input unit 14 from among a plurality of game cards. For example, “input received 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, it may be input of information for specifying a game card (for example, a card ID or name of the game card).

  Here, the “plurality of game cards” is, for example, all or part of game cards owned by the user (that is, game cards stored in the user-owned game object management table TBL102). That is, the game object designation receiving unit 110 receives a game card designation 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 among 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 from a plurality of game objects owned by the user” means a game object including a plurality of game objects selected from the game objects owned by the user. It is a combination. For example, a specific purpose (for example, search in a game) such as a deck including a plurality of game cards as described above or a party (group or team) including a plurality of game characters (an example of a game object). A plurality of game cards and game characters grouped for use in a battle, a game, etc.) corresponds to an example of “a combination of game objects set out of a plurality of game objects owned by a user” .

  For example, the “plurality of game cards” may be all or part of game cards provided in the game (that is, 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 reception result of the game object designation receiving 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, game card identification information (for example, a card ID) 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 reception result of the game object designation receiving unit 110. For example, the search condition setting unit 320 sets a search condition for executing a game card search based on information associated with a game card designated from among a plurality of game cards (an example of a game object). .

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

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

  The “game card identification information” is information for uniquely identifying each game card. For example, when an ID (or serial number) set so as not to overlap each other is set for each game card, the ID (or serial number) corresponds to an example of “game card identification information”. Further, for example, when the name is set so as not to overlap each other on the game card, the name can 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 magnitude 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 can be compared in magnitude or height. For example, “information that can be compared in terms of magnitude, height, and 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”, “rareness”, or the like corresponds to an example of “parameter”.

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

  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 of the 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 described below with the reference game card.

  For example, a type of game card having the same characteristics as those of 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 type of game card having the same special skill as that of 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 a search condition for searching for a type of game card having the same characteristics as the characteristics of the reference game card based on the characteristic information associated with the reference game card. For example, the search condition setting unit 320 specifies 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 searches for searching for the type of game card Set conditions. Here, the “characteristic information” is information relating to 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 P1 to PN (N is a natural number equal to or greater than 2) are defined on the deck, and position information specifying any position P1 to PN is associated with each of the plurality of game cards. In a game where only a game card whose position information is Pi can be set at the deck position Pi (i is any natural number from 1 to N), the position information corresponds to an example of “characteristic information”.

  Further, for example, a game card of the same type 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 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, “type information” is information indicating the type of game card. In other words, “type information” is information for classifying 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 gender and classification (for example, human, animal, monster, etc.) of the character drawn on the game card, the type of design (figure, mark, etc.), and other visually recognizable classifications are also “type information”. It corresponds to an example. For example, if the card ID of the reference game card is “0001”, the special skill of the game card with the card ID “0001” is “aaa +”, and therefore the search condition setting unit 320 has at least the special skill “aaa +”. A search condition for searching for a game card is set.

  Further, for example, a game card having higher performance than 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 search conditions 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, “performance information” is information relating to 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”. A search condition for searching for a game card having a value greater than “8000” is set. The “performance information” is not limited to the attack power of the game card, and for example, the defensive power, the total power, or the level of the game card may 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 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 of the same type as the reference game card and having a higher performance than the reference game card based on the type information and performance information associated with the reference game card. Set search conditions for

  In addition, for example, a game card having a higher rarity than 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 a search condition for searching for a game card having a higher rarity than the reference game card based on the rarity information associated with the reference game card. Here, “rareness information” is information indicating the rarity of a 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 a reference game card”, and “a game card having a predetermined relationship with a 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 the process according to the program stored in the storage unit 32.

  The search execution unit 330 searches for game objects based on the search conditions 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 for a game card that satisfies the search condition from the game object management table TBL101 stored in the data storage unit 310.

[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 the process according to the program stored in the storage unit 32.

  The display control unit 340 executes control for causing the display unit 15 to display 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 causing the display unit 15 to display 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 causing the display unit 15 to display all of the searched game cards or display a part of the searched game cards. Control for displaying on the unit 15 may be executed. For example, the display control unit 340 may execute control for causing the display unit 15 to display a game card that satisfies a predetermined condition among the searched game cards. For example, the display control unit 340 extracts a predetermined number (for example, five) of game cards from the searched game cards in descending order of performance and causes the display unit 15 to display the game cards. This 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 a game card on the display unit 15” is control for causing the display unit 15 to display at least one of information associated with the game card.

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

  For example, control for displaying image information associated with a game card (for example, an image of a game card) on the display unit 15 corresponds to an example of the “control”.

  Further, the information displayed on the display unit 15 and associated with the game card searched by the search execution unit 330 may be different information from the information used for setting the search condition, or the same information. May be.

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

  In addition, for example, the display control unit 340 uses 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. For causing the display unit 15 to display the magnitude relationship between the numerical value and the 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 an identifiable manner. Control may be executed.

  Here, the “predetermined parameter” is a specific parameter selected in advance from parameters included in 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”.

  It should be noted that 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 parameter that is different 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 a “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 user's attack deck, the attack power may be used as the “predetermined parameter”. On the other hand, when the reference game card is included in the user's defense deck, the defense power may be used as the “predetermined parameter”.

  Further, the above “numerical value based on one or more predetermined parameters” may be the value of one predetermined parameter itself, 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 defense power itself, or the total power obtained based on the values of the attack power and the defense power (numerical value indicating the high performance). Also good.

  Further, “control for causing the display unit 15 to display the searched game card in a manner 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 reference This is control for displaying the searched game card so that the magnitude relationship between the value of the game card and the value of the searched game card can be visually recognized.

  For example, the display position (for example, display position relationship or display order) of 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 numerical value of the searched game card. Controlling the display in this way corresponds to an example of the “control”.

  In addition, for example, when a plurality of game cards are displayed side by side in the vertical direction (or left and right direction), if the value of the searched game card is larger than the value of the reference game card, the searched game card is Controlling the display above (or on the left) of the game card corresponds to an example of the “control”. In addition, when the value of the searched game card is smaller than the value of the reference game card, the control is performed so that the searched game card is displayed above (or left) the reference game card. This corresponds to an example of “control”.

  More specifically, for example, in a case where the larger the numerical value indicates that the performance of the game card is higher, 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. To control. In addition, for example, when the numerical value is small, the display control unit 340 controls the plurality of game cards searched by the search execution unit 330 to be displayed in ascending order of the numerical value when the performance of the game card is high. .

  Further, 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 reference game card value and the searched game card value by changing the value based on the calculated game card value. It corresponds to an example.

  Specifically, for example, when displaying the reference game card and the searched game card, the reference game card and the brightness to be displayed are changed according to the value of the searched game card. Controlling the display so as to correspond to the magnitude relationship between the value of the game card and the value of the searched game card corresponds to an example of the “control”. For example, when the numerical value of the searched game card is larger than the numerical value of the reference game card, the control may be performed so that the searched game card is displayed brighter (or darker) than the reference game card. This corresponds to an example of “control”.

  Further, for example, when displaying the reference game card and the searched game card, the reference game card can be displayed by changing the numerical value of the reference game card and the display size according to the numerical value of the searched game card. Controlling the display so as to correspond to the magnitude relationship between the numerical value and the numerical value of the searched game card corresponds to an example of the “control”. For example, when the value of the searched game card is larger than the value of the reference game card, the control may be performed so that the searched game card is displayed larger (or smaller) than the reference game card. This corresponds to an example of “control”.

  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 display color according to the numerical value of the reference game card and the searched game card. Controlling the display so as to correspond to the magnitude relationship between the value and the value of the searched game card corresponds to an example of the “control”. For example, when the value of the searched game card is larger than the value of the reference game card, controlling the searched game card to display in a predetermined color is also equivalent to an example of the above “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 numerical value of the reference game card and the transparency to be displayed according to the numerical value of the searched game card. Controlling the display so as to correspond to the magnitude relationship between the value and the value of the searched game card corresponds to an example of the “control”. For example, when the value of the searched game card is larger than the value of the reference game card, control is performed so that the searched game card is displayed with greater (or smaller) transparency than the reference game card. Corresponds to an example of the above-mentioned “control”. Further, for example, among the searched game cards, a game card whose game card value is larger than the reference game card value is displayed in association with a predetermined figure or mark (for example, the game card is displayed in a frame). Controls such as enclosing and displaying a game card with a star or a circle are also examples of the “control”.

  For example, the display control unit 340 includes at least one game card searched by the search execution unit 330 as one or more predetermined parameters among information associated with the game card designated as the reference game card, Executing control for causing the display unit 15 to display a height relationship with one or more predetermined parameters of information associated with the game card searched by the search execution unit 330 in an identifiable manner. Also good.

  Here, the “predetermined parameter” is the same as described above. Further, “control for displaying the searched game card on the display unit 15 in a manner in which the height relationship between the predetermined parameter of the reference game card and the predetermined parameter of the searched game card can be identified” is This is control for displaying the searched game card so that the level 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 is “control for causing the display unit 15 to display the searched game card in a manner 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. It is the same as the case of “.

  Further, for example, the display control unit 340 displays at least one game card searched by the search execution unit 330 in a manner capable of transitioning to a screen relating to acquisition of the game card searched by the search execution unit 330. You may make it perform control for making it display 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 in a possible manner the transition to the screen relating to the acquisition of the game card” means, for example, embedding information (for example, link information) for transitioning to the screen relating to the acquisition of the game card. In other words, “display the transition to the screen relating to the acquisition of the game card in a possible manner” means, for example, a screen that is set to transition to the screen related to the acquisition of the game card when the game card is specified. Is to display. Furthermore, in other words, “display the game card acquisition screen in a possible manner” means that when the user performs an operation to specify the game card, the screen changes to the game card acquisition screen. Is to display the screen set to.

  Further, for example, the display control unit 340 is designated as a reference game card from among game cards included in the user's deck (an example of a combination of game objects set out of a plurality of game objects owned by the user). Control for causing the display unit 15 to display information related to changes in the performance of the deck when the game card searched for and the game card searched by the search execution unit 330 are exchanged may be executed.

  Here, “deck performance” refers to the performance of the entire deck (for example, the total attack power, total defense power, or attribute bonus of the deck). Further, “information regarding the change in the performance of the deck” is information indicating how the performance of the deck changes. For example, “information regarding the change in the performance of the deck” 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 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 of change (the amount of change) in the performance of the deck. Specifically, for example, the “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 changes in the performance of the deck”.

[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 the process according to the program stored in the storage unit 12.

  The display control unit 120 executes control for causing the display unit 15 to display 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 causing the display unit 15 to display 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 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.
