  Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate.

(Whole system configuration)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a game system including an information processing apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. This game system includes an information processing device 1 and a communication terminal 2. Although only one communication terminal 2 is illustrated in FIG. 1 for the sake of simplicity, a plurality of communication terminals 2 may be provided. The information processing apparatus 1 and the communication terminal 2 communicate via a network such as the Internet, but are not limited to such a communication form.

  In the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 1 is a game server that distributes a game to the communication terminal 2. The communication terminal 2 is a terminal device on which a player performs an operation related to a game, and is a smartphone in this embodiment. Details of the configurations of the information processing apparatus 1 and the communication terminal 2 will be described later.

  In the present embodiment, the game distributed by the information processing apparatus 1 is a card game type RPG developed using characters displayed on a virtual card owned by the player. For example, the player character can obtain various rewards by winning a battle battle or a mini game with an enemy character or an opponent character, or by collecting points by participating in a gathering event or the like.

  Here, the “player” is a user who plays a game, and is usually an operator of the communication terminal 2. The “game medium” is a character or article handled in a virtual space (virtual game space) on a game, and a card or item representing or associated with them, and is also called a “object”. It is a concept that includes all things. The game media may be a character or article that is directly recalled or indirectly recalled, and may be displayed as a still image, a movie, or a combination thereof. In this embodiment, a card corresponds to a game medium. In order to make the explanation easy to understand, in the description of the present embodiment, the word “card” may be used in place of the word “game medium” without particular notice. Also, a card that is a source of synthesis is also referred to as a “synthetic source card”, and a card that is synthesized with the synthesis source card is also referred to as a “material card”.

  In the present embodiment, in a game distributed by the information processing apparatus 1, the player appropriately combines a plurality of material cards with a composition source card so that the character's ability (strength, skill, physical strength, intelligence, Attack strength, defense power, etc.) and “strengthening synthesis” to increase its level. By increasing the ability of the character, the player can advantageously advance the game, and the player's willingness to continue the game is improved. In the reinforcement composition, the ability of the character of the composition source card selected first (hereinafter also referred to as the reinforcement target character) is enhanced according to the ability of the character of the material card selected thereafter. In the present embodiment, the synthesis processing described later is enhanced synthesis, but is not limited thereto, and may be evolutionary synthesis, for example. The evolutionary synthesis is a synthesis in which a new card is generated by combining a predetermined material card corresponding to a synthesis source card with the synthesis source card.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 1 includes a server communication unit 10, a storage unit 11, and a server control unit 15. The server control unit 15 includes a data management unit 31, a display control unit 32, and a game content processing control unit 33. Here, the server control unit 15 of the present embodiment corresponds to the control unit of the present invention. The data management unit 31 corresponds to means for storing in the storage unit of the present invention and means for acquiring from the storage unit. The display control unit 32 corresponds to means for displaying in the first area and means for displaying in the second area of the present invention. The game content processing control unit 33 corresponds to a means for accepting selection of a game content of the present invention. However, in the present embodiment, the data management unit 31 and the display control unit 32 operate according to instructions from the game content processing control unit 33.

  The server communication unit 10 communicates with the communication terminal 2. In the present embodiment, the server communication unit 10 communicates with the communication terminal 2 wirelessly, but may communicate by wire. Further, the server communication unit 10 may be able to use or select both wireless communication and wired communication.

  The storage unit 11 stores game medium data 111 and player data 112. In the present embodiment, each data is stored in the storage unit 11 in a table format, which will be described later in detail.

  The server control unit 15 controls various operations of the information processing apparatus 1 and the progress of the entire game. The server control unit 15 determines, for example, the content of the opponent challenged by the opponent and the player in the battle battle, and transmits instructions to display various game screens to the communication terminal 2 via the server communication unit 10. In addition, the server control unit 15 performs card composition processing and management of the player data 112 by the data management unit 31, the display control unit 32, and the game medium processing control unit 33, in particular.

  The data management unit 31 reads out game content data 111 and player data 112 in the storage unit 11 and manages update (storage) and the like. For example, the data management unit 31 stores the game media data 111 in the storage unit 11. Further, for example, when executing the card composition process, the data management unit 31 reads the game medium data 111 and the player data 112, and stores (updates) the player data 112 in the storage unit 11. In particular, the data management unit 31 can read the game content data 111 and obtain information on a plurality of cards (corresponding to game content) owned by the player and information on the selected card. Here, although details will be described later, information on what cards the player owns and what cards are selected is obtained from the player data 112.

  The display control unit 32 causes the communication terminal 2 to display a screen related to the card composition process via the server communication unit 10. The screen related to the card composition processing includes an icon image in the first area and a gauge image in the second area, which will be described later. Here, the icon image in the first area and the gauge image in the second area are generated based on information about a plurality of cards owned by the player and information about the selected card, respectively. Note that the display control unit 32 may cause the communication terminal 2 to display a screen that is not related to the synthesis process under the control of the server control unit 15.

  The game media processing control unit 33 performs grasping, calculation, control, and the like of data related to processing related to game media. The game media processing control unit 33 specifies a card to be selected, particularly during the card synthesis process, performs calculations related to the synthesis process in accordance with the selection of the card (game medium) by the player, and sends it to the data management unit 31. The player data 112 may be instructed to be updated, and a screen related to the synthesis process may be displayed on the display control unit 32.

  Here, all or part of the data management unit 31, the display control unit 32, and the game medium processing control unit 33 may be merged into one block. Conversely, the blocks may be further divided for all or part of the data management unit 31, the display control unit 32, and the game medium processing control unit 33. The information processing apparatus 1 is a computer that operates according to a program stored in the storage unit 11, and all or part of the data management unit 31, the display control unit 32, and the game medium processing control unit 33 is realized by software. May be. For example, a program stored in the storage unit 11 may cause the computer to function as the data management unit 31, the display control unit 32, and the game content processing control unit 33.

  The communication terminal 2 includes a terminal communication unit 20, a display unit 21, an operation unit 22, and a terminal control unit 24.

  The terminal communication unit 20 communicates with the information processing apparatus 1. In the present embodiment, the terminal communication unit 20 communicates with the information processing apparatus 1 wirelessly, but may communicate by wire. Further, the terminal communication unit 20 may be able to use or select both wireless communication and wired communication.

  The display unit 21 displays various event screens such as battle battles, mini-games, etc., particularly screens related to the synthesis process, in accordance with instructions from the terminal control unit 24.

  The operation unit 22 accepts player operations performed in connection with battle battles, various events, and composition processing. Then, the operation unit 22 passes an input signal corresponding to the accepted player operation to the terminal control unit 24. The operation unit 22 can employ any input interface such as a button or a touch panel. In the following description, the operation unit 22 is a touch panel and is integrated with the display unit 21.

  The terminal control unit 24 controls various operations of the communication terminal 2. The terminal control unit 24 displays various game screens on the display unit 21 in accordance with instructions from the information processing apparatus 1. In addition, the terminal control unit 24 acquires from the operation unit 22 an input signal corresponding to a player operation received on various screens displayed on the display unit 21. Then, the terminal control unit 24 transmits the acquired input signal to the information processing apparatus 1 via the terminal communication unit 20. In particular, the terminal control unit 24 transmits an input signal including information on selection and deselection of cards by the player to the information processing apparatus 1 in the synthesis process.

(Game media data)
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game media data 111 stored in the storage unit 11. In the game media data 111, “game media name” (for example, game media A) is distinguished by adding a uniquely identifiable identifier (“game media identifier”, for example, ITM001). The table management is performed for the parameters of “game media image”, “level”, “acquired experience value”, and “rareness” in association with the game media identifier. Further, the parameters are not limited to those shown in FIG. 2, but may include information such as “cost” necessary for inclusion in the deck, or some parameters in FIG. 2 are omitted. Also good. As described above, the game medium is a card in the present embodiment. The game media data 111 may be unchanged after being stored in the storage unit 11 as in the present embodiment, but the data is stored so that only necessary data is stored in the storage unit 11 and the capacity can be used effectively. It may be updated by the management unit 31. For example, the data management unit 31 may delete game media that no player owns from the game media data 111 at an appropriate timing. Then, a game medium newly owned by any player may be added to the game medium data 111 at an appropriate timing.

  In the present embodiment, the “game medium identifier” is a combination of three-digit numbers with the characters “ITM”, but is not limited thereto. “Game medium name” is the name of the character. Duplication is allowed as long as it can be distinguished by the game media identifier. The “game media image” is an image in a game, that is, an image of a character. The game medium image may change the degree of decoration depending on the rarity. For example, as the rarity is higher, the character included in the image and the decoration of the background image of the character may be gorgeous.

  The “level” is a level corresponding to the acquired experience value of the character, and affects the battle parameters of the character such as maximum HP, defense strength, attack power, and mobility. That is, the higher the level, the greater the value of the battle parameter, and the player can advantageously advance the battle battle. In the card composition process, the game medium processing control unit 33 determines the level of the game medium (combining source card) corresponding to the reinforcement target character via the data management unit 31 to determine the level after the composition. 111.

  The “acquired experience value” corresponds to the experience value increase parameter of the present invention, which is a parameter for increasing the experience value of the character to be reinforced (composition source card) when used as a material card in the card composition process. During the card composition process, the game medium processing control unit 33 can acquire the acquired experience value of the selected card from the game medium data 111 via the data management unit 31 in order to determine the level after composition. The acquired experience value may be determined according to parameters such as a game medium level, experience value, and rarity.

  “Rarity” is a symbol representing the rarity (rareness) of a card. In this embodiment, it is divided into six, and SSR> SR> HR> R> HN> N in the descending order of rarity. In the card compositing process, the player generally tends to use a character of a card with a high degree of rarity as a strengthening target character (combining source card) as compared with other cards (material cards) that disappear after the compositing process. For example, it is preferable to provide information on rarity in an image displayed during the synthesis process so that the player does not accidentally erase a card with a high degree of rarity. The game medium processing control unit 33 displays the rarity (corresponding to the type of the present invention) of the selected card via the data management unit 31 for display to the player during the card composition process. Can be obtained from

(Player data)
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the player data 112 stored in the storage unit 11. In the player data 112, the player of the communication terminal 2 is distinguished by an identifier (“player identifier”, for example, UID001) that can be uniquely identified. Tables are managed for the parameters of “owned game media” and “selected game media” in association with the player identifiers. Further, the parameters are not limited to those shown in FIG. 3, but may further include, for example, information on the history of possessed game media (time stamp of disappearance due to acquisition, trade, synthesis processing, etc.), and conversely, Some parameters may be omitted.

  In the present embodiment, the “player identifier” is a combination of a three-digit number with the character “UID”, but is not limited thereto. For example, if the player can be uniquely identified, the name arbitrarily set by the player may be used.

  “Owned game media” is a list of cards owned by the player using the game media names used in the game media data 111. In place of the game medium name, the game medium identifier of FIG. 2 may be used. In FIG. 3, for example, a player whose player identifier is UID003 owns game media A to H which are eight cards. This player can select a plurality of cards from the game media A to H and execute reinforcement synthesis.

  The “selected game medium” is a parameter used when executing the composition process, and lists the cards selected by the player for the composition process using the game medium name. The selected game media corresponds to the “selected game media” (a set of game media to be subjected to composition processing) of the present invention. As will be described later, the player can select and deselect cards for the synthesis process, and the contents of the selected game medium change accordingly. In FIG. 3, for example, a player whose player identifier is UID001 has selected game media A to F and X for possession processing among the possessed cards. Here, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the character corresponding to the game medium A shown at the top is the reinforcement target character. In addition, you may manage separately except for the game medium corresponding to a reinforcement | strengthening object character from a selection game medium.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the selected game medium is managed as one parameter of the player data 112, but may be managed separately. For example, a memory (for example, SRAM) that can be accessed at higher speed from the server control unit 15 may be inside or outside the storage unit 11, and the selected game medium may be stored in the memory. As described above, since the content of the selected game medium changes according to the selection and deselection of the player, by placing this on a memory that can be accessed at high speed, a response to the screen display related to the composition processing is obtained. It is possible to expedite. The player data 112 itself may be arranged on a memory that can be accessed at high speed, or the entire storage unit 11 may be a memory that can be accessed from the server control unit 15 at high speed.

(Screen related to composition processing)
The display control unit 32 causes the screen of the communication terminal 2 to display an image corresponding to the calculation, processing, and the like related to the synthesis processing of the game medium processing control unit 33. Hereinafter, examples of these screens will be described with reference to the drawings. The display control unit 32 may further display a normal game screen on the communication terminal 2. For example, the game screen includes a deck organization screen that allows the player to select whether or not to include a card in the deck. Also good.

  FIG. 4A is a diagram illustrating an example of a composition processing screen displayed on the display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2. The display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2 is a touch panel and also functions as the operation unit 22. As shown in FIG. 4A, the composition processing screen has a first area 41 and a second area 42. In the present embodiment, the first area 41 scrolls in the vertical direction, but the second area 42 does not scroll. Here, the display change of the first area 41 is not limited to the vertical scroll as in the present embodiment, but may be the horizontal scroll, or the display is switched in units of pages instead of scrolling. May be.

  The game media processing control unit 33 acquires information on the game media owned by the player from the data management unit 31 that has accessed the player data 112. Then, the game content processing control unit 33 acquires each game content image of the possessed game content via the data management unit 31 that has accessed the game content data 111. Then, the game content processing control unit 33 causes the display control unit 32 to display the game content image of the game content owned by the player in the first area 41. Here, the game media image is an icon 44, which corresponds to the first embodiment of the present invention. The icon 44 is an image for distinguishing each game medium (in the icon 44 in FIG. 4A, “A”, “X”, “B”, “Y”, “C”, “D” in the center portion). ”And the character indicating the type (“ SSR ”,“ SR ”,“ HR ”,“ R ”, etc. in the upper left part in the icon 44 of FIG. 4A). In this example, the alphabet at the center of the icon 44 corresponds to the alphabet of the game medium name in FIG. For example, the icon 44 indicated as “A” on the upper left of FIG. 4A is an icon indicating the game medium A, and the icon 44 indicated as “C” in the second center from the top is a game. It is an icon indicating the medium C.

  Here, for example, in a limited area of the display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2 that is a smartphone, for example, it is generally impossible to display all the icons 44 of the game media owned by the player on one screen. Therefore, the icons 44 are displayed in the scrollable first area 41 so that the player can visually recognize and select all the icons 44 by scrolling. FIG. 4B shows a state in which the first area 41 is scrolled, and in FIG. 4A, the icon 44 which is cut at the lower end of the display unit 21 in the first area 41 is displayed in the center portion.

  Then, the game medium process control unit 33 receives information indicating the game medium used for the synthesis process selected by the player in the first area 41 displayed on the display unit 21 that also functions as the operation unit 22. By tapping the icon 44 in the first area 41 with a finger, the player can make the card corresponding to the icon 44 used for the composition process, that is, selected. In the example of FIG. 4A, since the display “<Select>” is attached to the selected card, the player can confirm the selected card by scrolling the first area 41. is there.

  However, since the icons 44 are sequentially moved out of the screen by scrolling, the player cannot grasp all the selected cards without relying on memory. In particular, when performing a compositing process using many cards, it is generally difficult to grasp all of the selected cards only by displaying the first area 41. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the second area 42 as described below is displayed so that the player can grasp the selected game medium at a glance.

  As described above, the second region 42 does not scroll. As shown in FIG. 4B, even if the first area 41 is scrolled, the second area 42 is not affected and is displayed in the same manner as in FIG. In the second area 42, “<enhancement>” characters indicating that the screen is a screen for performing reinforcement composition is shown on the upper left, and an icon 47 corresponding to the composition source card is shown below. Furthermore, an icon 44 corresponding to the card of the character to be strengthened is displayed in the first area 41 so as not to be selected. In the example of FIG. 4A, the icon 47 is the game medium A. On the right side of the icon 47, the level and battle parameters of the character to be strengthened are displayed. In the example of FIG. 4A, the battle parameters are HP, defense power, attack power, and mobility.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the second area 42 displays a character “Select” and a connection gauge 46 in which the gauges 45 adjacent to the right are connected to each other. Each gauge 45 constituting the connection gauge 46 corresponds to each of the selected cards (material cards) used for the composition process. That is, the number of gauges 45 constituting the connection gauge 46 represents the number of selected cards. Therefore, the player can easily grasp the number of selected cards based on the number of gauges 45 constituting the connection gauge 46. In order to distinguish each of the gauges 45, the adjacent gauges 45 may be given different colors, or may be displayed so that a line enters between the adjacent gauges 45. All the gauges 45 may be given different colors. Here, the gauge 45 corresponds to the second embodiment of the present invention. That is, the gauge 45 is an example of a second form that has a smaller display area than the icon 44 (corresponding to the first form) and does not use an image specific to the selected card.

  The gauge 45 includes an image representing rarity. In the example of FIG. 4A, the image representing the rarity is an image displaying characters such as “SSR”, “SR”, and “H”. And the image showing the rarity of each gauge 45 corresponds to the rarity of the selected card. Therefore, the player can easily grasp the rarity from the image attached to the gauge 45 constituting the connection gauge 46. Therefore, it is difficult to cause a problem that the player makes a wrong selection in the synthesis process and loses a card with a high degree of rarity.

  Further, the connection gauge 46 is displayed so as not to exceed the display proper range 43 of the second region 42. That is, since the connection gauge 46 is displayed at a fixed position in the second area 42 that does not scroll, it becomes easier for the player to grasp the information of the selected card. The appropriate display range 43 may be determined so as to generate an appropriate margin with respect to the left end, the right end, and the boundary with the first region 41 in the second region 42, for example.

  Here, the gauge 45 constituting the connection gauge 46 is removed from the connection gauge 46 in conjunction with the selection of the card. Here, the player taps again the icon 44 of the selected first area 41 (the icon 44 labeled “<Selection>”) with a finger, so that the card corresponding to the icon 44 is displayed. Can be deselected.

  The display of the connection gauge 46 in the second area 42 is performed by the following processing of the server control unit 15. First, information on selection or deselection performed when the player taps the icon 44 is acquired by the terminal control unit 24 as an input signal corresponding to the player operation from the operation unit 22, and is processed via the terminal communication unit 20. Sent to the device 1. The input signal includes information indicating the card related to the selection / deselection, and the game media processing control unit 33 has selected or canceled the card 44 corresponding to which icon 44 based on the received input signal. To figure out. Then, the game medium processing control unit 33 acquires the information of the selected card (including rarity in this example) from the game medium data 111 via the data management unit 31, and the second via the display control unit 32. Reflected in the gauge 45 in the region 42. Further, the game content processing control unit 33 updates the selected game content of the player data 112 to the data management unit 31 via the data management unit 31.

  Here, the game medium processing control unit 33 displays not only the rarity but also the gauge 45 corresponding to the value of the predetermined parameter of the game medium in the game medium data 111 on the second area 42 via the display control unit 32. It is possible. In the present embodiment, the game medium processing control unit 33 uses the acquired experience value as a predetermined parameter and causes the second region 42 to display a gauge 45 having a length corresponding to the value. At this time, the processing of the game content processing control unit 33 obtains the acquired experience value from the game content data 111 instead of the rarity, and calculates the length of the gauge 45 so as to correspond to the acquired experience value. However, the processing is the same as in the case of rarity except that the level is calculated and the gauge 45 is sorted in the order of length.

  FIG. 5A is an enlarged display example when the rarity is displayed by the connection gauge 46. On the other hand, FIG. 5B is an enlarged display example when the acquired experience value is displayed by the connection gauge 46. FIG. 5A is a diagram corresponding to the display proper range 43 of the second area 42 in FIG. 4A, and detailed description thereof is omitted. Here, in FIGS. 5A to 7B, the gauges corresponding to the game media A to E are denoted by gauges 45A to 45E with symbols including alphabets included in the names.

  The game medium processing control unit 33 may cause the gauge 45 to display the acquired experience value in the second area 42 as shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, when the rarity is displayed by the connection gauge 46 as shown in FIG. 5A, when the player taps the boundary of the appropriate display range 43, the acquired experience value as shown in FIG. 5B. However, only one of the rarity or the acquired experience value may be displayed. If the display can be switched, more information can be provided to the player in a limited screen space. Here, the lengths of the gauges 45A, 45D, 45B, and 45C in FIG. 5B are the current experience value 300 of the game medium A and the acquired experience values 200, 100, and 50 of the game mediums D, B, and C, respectively. Correspond. At this time, the connection gauge 46 is sorted in the order of the magnitude of the acquired experience value, that is, the length of the gauge 45 corresponding to the material card, regardless of the order of selection of the material cards. Therefore, it becomes easy for the player to grasp the individual acquired experience value of the selected material card. The sort may be in descending order or ascending order.

  In the synthesis process of the present embodiment, the level is calculated according to the acquired experience value. That is, a level corresponding to a value obtained by adding the total acquired experience value of the material card to the current experience value of the reinforcement target character is calculated. Then, the next level after the calculated level is displayed on one end of the appropriate display range 43. In the example of FIG. 5B, the level remains 1 even if the total acquired experience value of the material cards (game media B to D) is added to the experience value of the reinforcement target character. That is, the calculated level is 1, and the next level is 2. Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, the display of the next level LV2 is shown at one end (right end) of the proper display range 43. At this time, the player can easily grasp the level change due to the synthesis process, and can easily determine whether to proceed with the synthesis process with the current selection, select a further card, or deselect some cards. Become. In the display method of FIG. 5B, the next level is displayed at one end (for example, the right end) of the appropriate display range 43, and the calculated level is displayed at the other end (for example, the left end). 1

  FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B show another example in which the acquired experience value is displayed by the connection gauge 46. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same element as FIG.5 (b), and description is abbreviate | omitted. FIG. 6A shows a state in which a game medium E having a large acquired experience value of 350 is selected. At this time, when the total acquired experience value is added, the value corresponding to level 2 is exceeded. At this time, the game content processing control unit 33 receives the signal indicating that the player has tapped the portion beyond the display proper range 43 of the connection gauge 46 automatically as in the present embodiment, and proceeds to the next level. Is set to level 3 instead of level 2. Then, the game medium processing control unit 33 changes the scale of the connection gauge 46 and displays it as shown in FIG. At this time, by appropriately indicating the next level, it becomes easier for the player to determine whether to proceed with the synthesis process with the current selection, to select a further card, or to deselect some cards. . In the display example of FIG. 6B, unlike FIG. 5B, the current level is displayed at the left end of the appropriate display range 43, and the next level after the calculated level is displayed at the right end. That is, the other level (for example, the left end) is fixed to the current level while the next level after the calculated level is associated with the one end (for example, the right end). As a result, gauges corresponding to all the selected material cards can be displayed, and the player can grasp the contribution of each material card at a glance.

  FIGS. 7A and 7B show still another example in which the acquired experience value is displayed by the connection gauge 46. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same element as FIG.5 (b)-FIG.6 (b), and description is abbreviate | omitted. FIG. 7A shows a predetermined value corresponding to the maximum level obtained by adding the total acquired experience values of the material cards (game media B to E) to the current experience value of the composition source card (game media A). Indicates the case of exceeding. At this time, the game medium processing control unit 33 receives a signal indicating that the player has tapped a predetermined area such as a part exceeding the display proper range 43 of the connection gauge 46 automatically or as in the present embodiment. , Deselect some cards from the selected card.

In the example of FIG. 7A, the game medium processing control unit 33 sets the game medium B and the game medium from the selected card so that the acquired experience value exceeding the predetermined value corresponding to the maximum level is minimized. Deselect D. Here, the game content processing control unit 33 performs a process of canceling selection of some cards so as to satisfy any one of the following (Condition 1) and (Condition 2A) to (Condition 2C). May be. In the present embodiment, (Condition 2A) is selected.
(Condition 1) The value obtained by adding the acquired experience values by the synthesis process exceeds the value corresponding to the maximum level.
(Condition 2A) The value obtained by subtracting the value corresponding to the maximum level from the sum of the acquired experience values is the minimum.
(Condition 2B) Deselect cards in descending order of rarity.
(Condition 2C) Minimize the cost required for the synthesis process.

  Here, as shown in the example of FIG. 7B, when (Condition 2A) is selected, the deselection of an extra card can be uniformly processed using only the acquired experience value. Further, when selecting (Condition 2B), if the selection is canceled from a card with a high rarity, it is possible to achieve the maximum level without consuming a card with a high rarity. Further, when selecting (Condition 2B), if the selection is canceled from a card with low rarity, the number of cards to be selected can be reduced and the synthesis cost can be suppressed. However, it is assumed that the higher the rarity, the higher the acquired experience value is set on the card. When (Condition 2C) is selected, the maximum level can be reached at a lower synthesis cost. Here, generally, the cost required for the compositing process is calculated by the current level of the compositing source card × the number of material cards × predetermined points (for example, in-game currency), but the calculation method is limited. is not. Therefore, selecting (Condition 2C) is particularly useful when the cost is calculated by an arbitrary calculation method.

(Processing of information processing device)
FIG. 8 is a flowchart when the server control unit 15 of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment performs the above-described combining process. That is, the flowchart in FIG. 6 represents a control method of the information processing apparatus 1.

  In step S <b> 1, the server control unit 15 stores the game medium data 111 and the player data 112 in the storage unit 11. In the present embodiment, the game media data 111 includes all data of game media that can be used, and the player data 112 is updated in step S5 described later. Therefore, the server control unit 15 only needs to execute step S1 at the beginning of the game distribution. Note that step S1 corresponds to a step of storing in the storage unit 11 information regarding a plurality of game media owned by the player.

  In step S <b> 2, the server control unit 15 reads the game medium data 111 and the player data 112 from the storage unit 11.

  In step S <b> 3, the server control unit 15 acquires information about the game media owned by the player from the player data 112, and acquires information about those game media images (icons) from the game media data 111. And the server control part 15 displays the icon on the communication terminal 2 in the 1st area | region 41 which can be scrolled.

  In step S <b> 4, the server control unit 15 receives, from the communication terminal 2, information on taps on the player icons in the first area 41, that is, information on selection / deselection of game media.

  In step S <b> 5, the server control unit 15 acquires information about the selected game medium based on the information received from the communication terminal 2, and updates the data of the selected game medium in the player data 112. At this time, the information related to the selected game medium to be acquired does not have to be all of the parameters of the game medium data 111, and may be a part of information necessary for displaying the gauge 45.

  In step S10, it is determined whether or not display of a type (rareness in this embodiment) is requested. The display of the type may be requested by a user setting in advance on a game setting screen, for example. If the display of the type is requested (YES in step S10), the server control unit 15 proceeds to the process in step S11. On the other hand, when the display based on the experience value increase parameter (acquired experience value in this embodiment) is requested instead of the type display (NO in step S10), the server control unit 15 proceeds to the process in step S20.

  In step S11, the server control unit 15 causes the communication terminal 2 to display the gauge 45 including the image representing the type in the second area 42 (see FIG. 5A). After step S11, the server control unit 15 proceeds to the process of step S40.

  In step S20, the server control unit 15 calculates the level according to the value obtained by adding the experience value increase parameters, and the calculated level is the maximum and the connection gauge 46 exceeds the display proper range 43 (hereinafter referred to as condition A). ) Or not. When the condition A is satisfied (YES in step S20), the server control unit 15 proceeds to the process in step S21. On the other hand, when the condition A is not satisfied (NO in step S20), the server control unit 15 proceeds to the process of step S30.

  In step S <b> 21, the server control unit 15 executes a game content selection canceling process and adjusts the level so that the level is maximized and the amount exceeding the display proper range 43 of the connection gauge 46 is minimized. After step S21, the server control unit 15 proceeds to the process of step S40.

  In step S30, the server control unit 15 determines whether or not the calculated level exceeds the appropriate display range 43 (hereinafter referred to as condition B), although the calculated level is not the maximum. If the condition B is satisfied (YES in step S30), the server control unit 15 proceeds to the process in step S31. On the other hand, when the condition A is not satisfied (NO in step S30), the server control unit 15 proceeds to the process of step S40.

  In step S <b> 31, the server control unit 15 performs level adjustment processing so that the connection gauge 46 is displayed in the display proper range 43. After step S31, the server control unit 15 proceeds to the process of step S40.

  In step S <b> 40, the server control unit 15 determines whether there is a synthesis instruction based on information received from the communication terminal 2 (for example, whether or not the player has pressed the execution button for the synthesis process). If there is an instruction for synthesis (YES in step S40), the server control unit 15 proceeds to the process in step S41. On the other hand, if there is no instruction for synthesis (NO in step S40), the server control unit 15 returns to the process in step S2, and gives the player the opportunity to select and deselect the game media again.

  In step S41, the server control unit 15 executes the synthesis process, and the series of processes ends.

  As described above, the control method (which can be realized by a program) of the information processing apparatus 1 and the server control unit 15 of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment displays the gauge 45 corresponding to the selected game medium. Thus, the player can grasp at a glance within a limited screen space. The method of the present embodiment is particularly preferable in a composition process that may select many game media.

  Although the present invention has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications and corrections based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these variations and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, functions and the like included in each block and step can be rearranged so as not to be logically contradictory, and a plurality of blocks and steps can be combined into one or divided.

  For example, when the information processing device 1 functions as a server device for a game connected to the communication terminal 2 via a network, web display and native display may be mixed. For example, the progress screen of the game is a web display displayed on the communication terminal 2 based on the data generated by the server device (information processing device 1), and the other composite screens are native installed on the communication terminal 2. It is good also as a native display displayed by an application. That is, the information processing apparatus 1 may be a hybrid game server apparatus in which each of the server apparatus (information processing apparatus 1) and the player terminal (communication terminal 2) takes part of the processing. At this time, the terminal control unit 24 may include at least a part of the data management unit 31, the display control unit 32, and the game content processing control unit 33. Further, the terminal control unit 24 may include the storage unit 11. For example, the terminal control unit 24 may include the storage unit 11 having the game medium data 111 and the player data 112, and the game medium data 111 and the player data 112 may be synchronized with the information processing apparatus 1.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the game medium processing control unit 33 acquires the acquired experience value (experience value increase parameter) in the composition process, and the total value of the obtained experience values (combined gauge 46) after the composition is maximum. When the level exceeds the selected level, the selection of some game media is canceled from the selected game media (selected game media). This part of the game media deselection process may also be executed when the player selects whether or not to include the card in the deck using the deck organization screen. That is, the game media processing control unit 33 acquires the cost of the deck as a predetermined parameter instead of the acquired experience value via the data management unit 31. Then, the game content processing control unit 33 displays the total cost of the deck of the selected game content with a connection gauge, and when the total cost of the deck represented by the connection gauge exceeds the capacity of the player, the selected game content The process of canceling the selection of some game media may be executed.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the rarity is exemplified as the type of game media, and an image representing the rarity is attached to the gauge 45. However, the type of game media is not limited to rarity, and for example, attack attributes such as fire, water, thunder, ice, and magic attributes may be used.

  In the above-described embodiment, the card is deselected using the scrollable first area 41. However, when the player taps the gauge 45 in the second area 42, the corresponding card is deselected. It may be done. At this time, the player can perform card deselection more efficiently.

  In the above-described embodiment, a gauge is used as the second form, but any display form having a display area smaller than that of the first form (icon 44) may be used. Is a display form using information other than an image (icon image or the like) unique to the game medium. As a 2nd form, it is not restricted to the gauge 45, For example, a dot, a pie chart, an isolated figure, etc. may be used.

In the above-described embodiment, a composition source exists in the composition processing. However, a composition process that does not use a composition source, that is, a new card may be generated by compositing a plurality of material cards. At this time, for example, depending on the level determined based on the number, type, combination, etc. of the material cards, the type, parameter, generation probability, etc. of the generated card may be different.
