<Outline of the game>
Here, an outline of a target game in the embodiment will be described. In the game in the embodiment, a lottery (gacha) is performed. By this lottery, the player can acquire intangibles such as game items, characters, and lottery tickets. In the case of a battle game, the game item is, for example, a weapon for increasing battle ability. In addition, the lottery may be a purchase of an intangible object, and is not limited thereto as long as it is a request for acquiring an intangible object, whether directly or indirectly by a player. Hereinafter, a lottery will be described as an example, but the following embodiment can implement the same processing if the lottery is replaced with purchase of an intangible object.

The lottery includes a free lottery (free gacha) and a pay lottery (paid gacha).
The free lottery and the pay lottery are set with different probability tables for the lottery. As a result, the pay lottery is more likely to acquire intangibles that are more valuable to the player than the free lottery. Alternatively, different intangibles are acquired in the free lottery and the paid lottery.

In addition, in the game according to the embodiment, when a predetermined number or more of a limited number of players draw a lot in a predetermined time, additional intangibles (hereinafter referred to as “intangibles”) are separated from the intangibles obtained by the lottery. , Also referred to as a reward) is given to the player who has made a lottery. Hereinafter, functions for enabling the lottery process described above will be described. The reward is, for example, a game item, a character, an item for strengthening the game item, a lottery ticket, or the like.

<Functional configuration>
FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the game apparatus 10 according to the embodiment.
The game device 10 illustrated in FIG. 4 includes, for example, a first transmission unit 402, a first reception unit 404, and a game execution unit 406.

The first transmission unit 402 is, for example, the main control unit 40, the mobile communication unit 32, the wireless LAN communication unit 36.
It can be realized by the game program 39 or the like. The first transmission unit 402 transmits, to the server 50, lottery information (request information) including a command based on the operation content input by the player, information on the player who performed the lottery (acquisition request) executed in the game, and the like.

The first receiving unit 404 is, for example, the main control unit 40, the mobile communication unit 32, or the wireless LAN communication unit 36.
It can be realized by the game program 39 or the like. The first receiving unit 404 is sent from the server 50
Information on lottery (gacha) that is an in-game event (including lottery results), data on game progress, and the like are received.

The game execution unit 406 can be realized by the main control unit 40, the game program 39, and the like, for example. The game execution unit 406 executes a game (for example, a plurality of events). The game execution unit 406 includes an operation reception unit 412, a command issue unit 414, an image generation unit 416, and a display unit 418.

The operation receiving unit 412 receives a player's operation input from the touch panel 14 while the game is being executed. For example, the operation reception unit 412 receives an operation for executing a lottery during an event in the game. The accepted operation content is output to the command issuing unit 414.

The command issuing unit 414 issues a command corresponding to the operation content received by the operation receiving unit 412 and transmits the issued command to the server 50 via the first transmission unit 402. For example, the command issuing unit 414 issues a command (also referred to as a lottery execution command) indicating an operation for executing a lottery. At this time, identification information for identifying the player information or the game apparatus 10 is transmitted together with the lottery execution command. Thereby, the server 50 can grasp | ascertain which player or which game device 10 performed the lottery.

The image generation unit 416 acquires data related to the progress of the game received by the first reception unit 404 and generates an image to be displayed on the touch panel 14 based on the information. The image generation unit 416 outputs the generated image to the display unit 418.

The display unit 418 displays the acquired image on the touch panel 14. Thereby, the game apparatus 10 can display the image based on the data regarding the progress of the game transmitted from the server 50, and can advance the game. For example, the display unit 418 displays a lottery result, notification contents described later, and the like.

Next, functions of the server 50 will be described. FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the server 50 according to the embodiment. For example, the server 50 shown in FIG.
02, a second receiving unit 504, and a game control unit 506.

The second transmission unit 502 can be realized by the communication interface 106, the control unit 102, the control program 310, and the like, for example. The second transmission unit 502 transmits information regarding the lottery (including the lottery result), data regarding the progress of the game, and the like to the game apparatus 10.

The second receiving unit 504 can be realized by the communication interface 106, the control unit 102, the control program 310, and the like, for example. The second receiving unit 504 receives, from the game device 10, a lottery information (request information) including a command based on the operation content input by the player, information on the player who performed the lottery (acquisition request), and the like.

The game control unit 506 can be realized by the control unit 102, the control program 310, and the like, for example. The game control unit 506 controls the progress of the game based on the operation of the player. For example, the game control unit 506 acquires a command based on the operation content of the player, and controls the progress of an event in the game such as a battle using this command.

In addition, the game control unit 506 executes the above-described game (for example, a game including an event that prompts a joint lottery), so that a lottery control unit (request control unit) 512, a first generation unit 514, and a second generation A unit 516, a determination unit 518, a notification unit 520, a grant unit 522, a charge control unit 524, a display control unit 526, and a recommendation unit 528 are included.

The lottery control unit 512 controls lottery (gacha). For example, the lottery control unit 512 gives a reward to the player who made the lottery when a predetermined number or more of the players set in the norm make a lottery among a plurality of players who satisfy the predetermined condition within a predetermined time. Control lottery events to be granted.

For example, the lottery control unit 512 holds a campaign that enables a lottery event to be executed regularly or irregularly and notifies each player of the campaign period. The campaign period
For example, one day.

In addition, the lottery control unit 512 controls the start time for starting a lottery event based on the time specified by the player. Thus, for example, when the player himself decides the start time of the predetermined time, the lottery event can be started at a desired timing when people gather around a drinking party or the like.

In addition, the lottery control unit 512 may allow the player to change the predetermined number set for the quota, or may change it according to the number of players that satisfy the predetermined condition. As a result, it is possible to change the quota according to the player's wishes or to set a quota suitable for the number of players gathered.

In addition, the lottery control unit 512 may set an upper limit on the number of rewards that can be acquired for each player during the campaign period. Thereby, it is possible to prevent rewards from being given more than necessary.

The first generation unit 514 generates a first list (also referred to as a candidate list) including a plurality of players during the execution of the game. For example, the first generation unit 514 may generate, for each player, one or more first lists including players that satisfy a predetermined condition. More specifically, the first
The generation unit 514 generates a first list based on a friend list including players registered as friends or position information indicating positions related to the players. When the position information is used, the first generation unit 514 generates the first list so as to include the players in the predetermined area, or generates the first list so as to include the players within the predetermined range from the specific player. To do. As another example of the first list, the first generation unit 514 creates a first list by collecting players of the same level based on in-game parameters such as the player level, and sets the login time in the game. The first list may be generated based on the base. The first
As another example of the list, the first generation unit 514 creates a first list for all players, or collects all the players except for those who have not logged in for a certain period of time. One list may be generated.

The second generation unit 516 generates, for each first list, a second list (also referred to as a participant list) that includes players who have performed a lottery within a predetermined time of a lottery event controlled by the lottery control unit 512. Further, the second generation unit 516 may sort the players included in the second list based on the lottery time (request time) when the player has performed the lottery (acquisition request). Thus, when the second list is displayed, the player can grasp the time when the lottery was performed in ascending order or descending order. Further, when a player makes a friend application to a player in the second list, the player can add the lottery time to the determination criteria for the friend application. The second
The generation unit 516 is not necessarily required unless the second list is displayed.

The determination unit 518 determines whether or not the count value of the players included in the first list who have performed the lottery executed in the game within the first predetermined time is greater than or equal to the predetermined value. The first predetermined time indicates a time limit until the quota is achieved, for example, and is a set time such as 1 hour or 2 hours. The predetermined value is the same as the predetermined number set in the normal. The determination unit 518 determines whether or not another player has performed a lottery when the player has performed a lottery.
Since information indicating that the lottery has been performed is transmitted to the server 50, it can be determined by receiving this information.

In addition, when a specific player has drawn a lottery, the determination unit 518 has a lottery time before the lottery time when the specific player has drawn a lot of players included in the first list generated corresponding to the specific player. You may make it count the player who performed the lottery within the 2nd predetermined time and the 1st predetermined time after the lottery time. Thereby, the time limit for achieving the quota can be extended, and the quota can be easily achieved. The second predetermined time may be the same as or different from the first predetermined time.

Further, the counting target by the determination unit 518 may be only a player who has performed a pay lottery, or may be a player who has performed a pay lottery or a free lottery.

When a specific player draws a lottery, the notification unit 520 includes the first player including the specific player.
The player having the list is notified that the lottery including the lottery time has been performed and the remaining time of the predetermined time. Thereby, the system side can inform the player having the first list including the specific player who has performed the lottery, the presence of the player who has performed the lottery and the lottery time, and provide the motivation for performing the lottery. be able to.

When the count value counted by the determination unit 518 is less than a predetermined value, the grant unit 522
The intangible object of the lottery result is given to the player who performed the lottery. When the count value is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the intangible object of the lottery result and the additional intangible object are given to the player who has performed the lottery. In other words, if the count value of the player who has made a lottery in the first list is less than a predetermined value (a predetermined number set as the norm), the granting unit 522 has not reached the norm, and the intangible result of the lottery is displayed. Give. On the other hand, when the count value of the player who has drawn a lot in the first list is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the granting unit 522 achieves a quota, and gives a lottery result and a reward.

Further, the granting unit 522 gives a reward to the player who is counted as the count value when the lottery result is given to the player who performed the lottery and the count value becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined value. May be. Thereby, since the lottery result is given immediately after the lottery, the player will not lose, and if the quota is achieved (if the count value becomes a predetermined value or more), the reward can be additionally received, The player will gain. Giving unit 52
2 may change the reward given according to the number of norms. For example, the granting unit 522 gives a reward having a higher value as the number of quotas is larger.

The charging control unit 524 controls the charging process in accordance with a charging instruction from the player. The billing control unit 524 notifies the billing server 60 of information on the predetermined player who has instructed billing, and the billing server 60 uses the credit number and account number registered in relation to the notified information on the predetermined player. Charge processing is performed so that a predetermined amount is withdrawn.

Here, in the above example, an example in which the billing process is directly performed in performing the lottery process is shown. However, a billing item may be purchased by billing, and the lottery process may be performed in exchange for the consumption of the billing item. In the following description, “charging” includes not only direct charging but also indirect charging due to consumption of charging items. The billing item is an item that can be obtained at least by charging by the player, and may be distributed free of charge when a server trouble occurs, or may be distributed free of charge as a login reward.

The display control unit 526 controls to display the second list on the game play screen. A play screen is a screen displayed on the display screen of the game device 10, for example. At this time, the display control unit 526 may rearrange the list in the order of the lottery times when the lottery is performed on the second list. Thereby, the player who sees the 2nd list can confirm the player who performed the lottery recently, the player who performed the lottery in the early stage within the predetermined time, and the like.

The recommendation unit 528 generates a third list that includes players who are not included in the first list and have drawn a lottery within a predetermined time, and includes the players included in the third list in the first list. Recommendation to. The recommendation unit 528 is, for example, a player who is not included in the friend list that is the first list, and the list that includes the players who have drawn lots within a predetermined time is the third list.
Become a list. This third list is also referred to as a recommendation list. In the recommendation list, players may be rearranged based on the lottery time by the recommendation unit 528, and a friend application button may be prepared. When the friend application button is pressed by the player, a friend application is made to the player corresponding to the button. For example, the recommendation unit 528 may rearrange the lottery times in descending order.

In this case, the determination unit 518 makes a friend application voluntarily even if the player is included in the first list based on the recommendation of the recommendation unit 528 or not based on the recommendation of the recommendation unit 528,
The players included in the first list may be updated so that the count value includes the number of players included in the first list by newly increasing friends. Based on the recommendation,
Alternatively, it is preferable that an upper limit value is provided for the number that is effective as a count value among the number of newly included players by updating the first list by the player's spontaneous friend addition. Thereby, even if the number of players included in the first list is small, it is possible to increase the possibility of achieving the quota and at the same time provide an opportunity for the players to build friendships. . In addition, by providing an upper limit for the number that is effective as the count value, it is possible to prevent an act of temporarily increasing the number of friends only for the purpose of increasing the count value.

In addition, when a lottery is performed based on billing, there is a possibility that a group with high billing ability may appear among groups that achieve the quota. On the system side, it is possible to provide a lottery that can give an intangible object having a higher value than an intangible object obtained by a normal lottery by grasping the group having a high billing capability. .

<Specific example>
Next, a specific example when the first list is a friend list will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the first list in the embodiment. The first list shown in FIG.
The list items include the player ID, player name, and attribute information. Note that the player A may or may not be included in the first list. The player ID is identification information for identifying the player, and is used when searching for friends. The player name is a name arbitrarily set by the player, and is used when a list is displayed. The attribute information is information including item information used for the game.

When the friend list is the first list, generating the first list in the first generation unit 514 includes the meaning of acquiring the first list. This is because the friend list is already generated at the time of the lottery event, so the first generation unit 514 does not need to generate the first list every time the lottery event occurs.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the second list in the embodiment. The second list shown in FIG. 7 is also a participant list indicating players who participated in the lottery event among the players included in the first list. The player list includes the player A himself when the player A participates in the lottery event. As a list item of the second list, I of the player who performed the lottery
D, player name, lottery time. The second generation unit 516 may use the lottery time when sorting the second list. The second list shown in FIG. 7 shows an example of sorting in descending order at the lottery time.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen on which the second list in the embodiment is displayed. The screen shown in FIG. 8 is the screen Di102 of the game apparatus 10, and the second list Li102 shown in FIG.
Is displayed. In order to clarify the number of people until the quota is achieved on the screen Di102, for example, “remaining XX people until reward” is displayed, and the player can be prompted to perform a lottery process. The screen information indicating the screen Di102 is generated by the display control unit 526, for example.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of notification contents in the embodiment. The screen shown in FIG. 9 is a screen Di104 showing the content notified to the player having the first list including the player A when the player A participates in the lottery event (has performed the lottery). The notification content Ni102 is displayed on the screen Di104. The notification content Ni102 is, for example, displayed in a pop-up on the screen.

The notification content Ni102 includes the name of the player who participated, the name of the lottery event that participated, the number of players until the quota is achieved, the remaining time of a predetermined time, and the like. Since a notification as shown in FIG. 9 is performed every time a player included in the friend list performs a lottery during the lottery event, the player can be motivated to perform the lottery.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of addition to the second list in the embodiment. FIG. 10 (A)
Is a first list (friend list) of player A, and FIG. 10B shows a second list (participant list) of player A. FIG. 10C shows the first list of the player B, and FIG.
Indicates the second list of player B. FIG. 10E shows the first list of the player C, FIG.
(F) shows the second list of player B. In the example shown in FIG. 10, in order to simply explain the first list and the second list, only the player name is used for the first list, and only the player name and the lottery time are used for the second list.

As shown in FIG. 10 (B), the player A participates in the lottery event in which the player B, the player C, and the player D included in his / her first list (FIG. 10 (A)) participated. Suppose you participated by drawing lots. At this time, notification indicating that the player A has participated in the lottery event is made to the player B and the player C having the first list including the player A.

FIG. 10D shows a second list generated for the player B when the player A participates in the lottery event. In the example shown in FIG. 10D, the first list of player B (
Among the players in FIG. 10 (C)), player A participated in the lottery event for the first time,
In this example, only the player A is included in the second list of the player B.

FIG. 10F shows a second list generated for the player C when the player A participates in the lottery event. In the example shown in FIG. 10F, the first list of player C (
FIG. 10E shows an example in which player A is added to the second list including player B because player A participated in the lottery event next to player B.

The second generation unit 516 and the determination unit 518 may receive a notification indicating that the player has participated in the lottery event. In this case, the player can be added to the second list or the count value can be increased. .

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining a measurement example of a predetermined time indicating the time limit of the lottery event in the embodiment. In the example shown in FIG. 11, the first predetermined time indicating the basic time limit of the lottery event is assumed to be 1 hour. The second predetermined time is 1 hour, but need not be the same as the first predetermined time.

As shown in FIG. 11, in the campaign period held by the lottery control unit 512, the player B performs a lottery at 20:45 on September 29, and the player A performs a lottery at 21:00 on September 29. Suppose that the player F draws a lottery at 21:32 on September 29th.

At this time, it is assumed that player A, player B, and player F are friends, and no one of the players of each player has participated in the lottery event.

On the premise described above, the target time of the player B's lottery event is 20: 4 of the lottery time.
Let 5 minutes be the start time, and 21:45 when the first predetermined time elapses be the end time.

In addition, when the player A who has received the notification of the participation of the lottery event of the player B participates in the lottery event at 21:00, the target time of the lottery event of the player A is the second before 21:00 of the lottery time. The start time may be 20:00 before the predetermined time elapses, and the end time may be 22:00 after the first predetermined time after 21:00.

Similarly, the player F who has received the notice of participation in the lottery event of the player B and the player A
When participating in the lottery event at 21:32, the target time for the lottery event of Player F is:
The starting time is 20:32 before the second predetermined time elapses before 21:32 of the lottery time.
The end time may be 22:32 after the elapse of the first predetermined time after time 32.

That is, the lottery control unit 512 may measure the target time of the lottery event retroactively from the time when the player himself has drawn, like the player A and the player F. Thereby, since the target time of the lottery event is extended, it is possible to easily achieve the quota.

In addition, the granting unit 522 gives a reward having higher value than the player A or the player F as a reward when the quota is achieved for the player B who is the first lottery player in the first list. It may be. Thereby, the player can be motivated to become the first lottery player.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen on which the second list and the recommendation list are displayed in the embodiment. The screen shown in FIG. 12 is the screen Di106 of the game apparatus 10, and the second list Li102 shown in FIG. 7 and the number of people until the quota is achieved are displayed. Furthermore, screen Di10
6, a recommendation list Li104 generated by the recommendation unit 528 is displayed. The recommendation list includes a player name, a lottery time, and an application button. On the screen Di106, the effective number of people who are counted for the lottery event is displayed. The player can make a friend application to more than the effective number of players, and can register as a friend, but there is an upper limit on the number of people counted in the lottery event participants.

Thereby, the player can make a friend who has already drawn a lottery by making a friend application to the player displayed in the recommendation list Li104, thereby enabling the player to be added to the friend list. The remaining number of people until the quota is achieved can be reduced. Furthermore, by setting an upper limit on the effective number of players as a count value for a player registered as a friend from the recommendation list, it is possible to prevent many friends from being applied to only the players included in the recommendation list and achieving the quota. it can.

<Operation>
Next, an operation related to the lottery process of the game processing system 1 in the embodiment will be described. The following description is divided into a lottery process A when the player A becomes the first lottery person and a lottery process B when the player B performs the lottery upon receiving the notification. FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the lottery process A of the game processing system 1 in the embodiment.

In step S102 shown in FIG. 13, the lottery control unit 512 determines whether or not the player A has executed the lottery. If the lottery has been executed (step S102-YES), step S1

Return to.

  In step S104, the granting unit 522 gives the lottery result to the player.

In step S106, the lottery control unit 512 determines whether the lottery time is within the campaign period of the lottery event. If it is within the campaign period (step S106-YES), the process proceeds to step S108, and if it is outside the campaign period (step S106-NO), the process ends.

In step S108, the first generation unit 514 generates a first list including players that satisfy a predetermined condition for each player. Satisfying the predetermined condition includes being registered as a friend and being within a predetermined range using position information.

In step S110, the second generation unit 516 generates a second list including the players who have performed the lottery.

In step S112, the notification unit 520 performs notification processing for the players having the first list including the player A who has performed the lottery.

In step S114, the determination unit 518 determines whether or not another player included in the first list has executed a lottery. The determination unit 518 can determine whether or not another player has executed the lottery by receiving a notification. If another player has executed the lottery (step S114-YES), the process proceeds to step S116, and if another player has not performed the lottery (step S114-NO), the process proceeds to step S118.

In step S116, the second generation unit 516 adds another player who executed the lottery to the second list.

In step S118, the determination unit 518 determines whether a predetermined time, which is a time limit for the lottery event, has elapsed. If the predetermined time has elapsed (step S118-YES), the process proceeds to step S120, and if the predetermined time has not elapsed (step S118-NO), the process returns to step S114.

In step S120, the determination unit 518 determines whether or not the count value obtained by counting the player A and the player who has performed a lottery in the first list is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. If the count value is equal to or greater than the predetermined value (step S120—YES), the process proceeds to step S122. If the count value is less than the predetermined value (step S120—NO), the process ends.

In step S122, the granting unit 522 gives a reward to the player who has performed the lottery. At this time, the granting unit 522 may grant a reward with higher value to the first lottery (player A).
