Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an incentive to play by facilitating acquisition of regular content in accordance with the length of time for which a user has been on standby.SOLUTION: An information processor comprises: a temporary content providing part which provides temporary content to a user prior to providing regular content; and a regular content providing part. Upon the user performing a game operation prior to the elapse of a standby time of the temporary content, the regular content providing part runs a lottery with a success probability that increases as the residual time of the standby time decreases and, upon a determination of a success as a result of the lottery, provides the regular content to the user. Upon the elapse of the standby time of the temporary content without the game operation by the user, the regular content providing part provides the regular content to the user.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus and a program.

There is known an information processing apparatus that executes a game that generates a waiting time for the user until the user can perform the next game play after the user has played the game (for example, Patent Document 1).
In this game, the next game play can be performed by waiting for the elapse of the standby time, or by performing a predetermined game operation before the standby time elapses (for example, a game operation for using the recovery item is performed). You can also play the next game play).

Japanese Patent No. 5729795

  In such a game, provisional content may be assigned prior to the provision of the main content, and a waiting time may be generated for the user until the main content can be acquired from the temporary content. The main content can be acquired by waiting for the elapse of the standby time, and the main content can be acquired by performing a predetermined game operation before the standby time elapses. In this case, both the user who has waited for a long time and the user who has been waiting for a short time can acquire the content as a result. For this reason, the user who has been waiting for a long time will feel frustrated, and there is a risk that his willingness to play will be reduced.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the purpose of the present invention is to improve the willingness to play by making it easy to acquire the content according to the length of time the user has waited. There is.

The main invention of the present invention to solve the above problems is
A provisional content granting unit that grants provisional content to the user prior to the provision of the content;
A lottery was performed with a probability of success that made it easier to succeed as the remaining time until the standby time was smaller because the user's game operation was performed before the standby time of the temporary content passed, and the success was determined as the lottery result And granting the content to the user by
A main content granting unit for granting the main content to the user when the waiting time of the temporary content has passed without any user game operation;
An information processing apparatus characterized by comprising:
According to such an information processing device, the probability of success increases as the remaining time until the standby time decreases before the temporary content standby time elapses. It becomes easy to acquire contents.

In addition, the content is set with any one of a plurality of class rarities,
The content granting unit
When the success is determined as the lottery result, grant the book content set with the same class rarity as the book content given when the standby time of the temporary content has passed, and
When failure is determined as the lottery result, it is desirable to give the main content in which the rarity of a lower class is set than the main content given when the standby time of the temporary content has elapsed.
In this way, although there is a risk of failure, if successful, the rare content that can be acquired when the standby time has elapsed can be acquired early without waiting for the standby time to elapse. That is, the possibility of success varies depending on how long it waits, so that it is possible to improve the game performance during the waiting time.

In addition, the content granting unit
When granting this content with a rarity of a lower class than this content given when the standby time of temporary content has passed,
It is desirable to raise the lowest class of the rarity of the content to be given as the remaining time until the standby time of the temporary content is smaller.
Thereby, even if it is a case where it fails, it becomes possible to reduce a risk, so that it waits long.

Further, the provisional content providing unit provides any kind of temporary content selected from a plurality of types of temporary content,
It is desirable to have a standby time control unit that reduces the standby time of the other temporary content in the standby state before the standby time elapses by consuming one temporary content among the same types of temporary content. .
Accordingly, by using the same type of temporary content, the standby time can be reduced, so that this content can be acquired early.

The standby time control unit
When provisional content of the same type as provisional content in a standby state before the standby time elapses is provided by the provisional content provision unit,
It is desirable to automatically reduce the standby time of the temporary content in a standby state by automatically consuming the provisional content of the same type.
Thereby, it is possible to reduce the standby time without the user performing a game operation.

Also, the blank time is counted when there is no temporary content in the standby state before the standby time elapses, and the standby time is reduced based on the blank time when there is temporary content in the standby state. It is desirable to provide a standby time control unit.
As a result, by using the blank time when there is no temporary content in the standby state, the standby time can be reduced, so that this content can be acquired early.

In addition, it is desirable that the content providing unit assigns the content to the user only for the temporary content set in a finite number of standby frames for counting the standby time of the temporary content.
As a result, since the success probability may be low, if the game operation is performed without waiting for the waiting time to elapse and the waiting frame can be quickly emptied and temporary contents can be set one after another, the waiting time of the temporary contents can be reduced. Since it is possible to reliably acquire this content after waiting, the strategy of the game can be improved.

Also, the computer
Provisional content granting means for granting provisional content to the user prior to the provision of this content;
A lottery was performed with a probability of success that made it easier to succeed as the remaining time until the standby time was smaller because the user's game operation was performed before the standby time of the temporary content passed, and the success was determined as the lottery result And granting the content to the user by
A content providing means for granting the content to the user when the standby time of the temporary content has passed without any user game operation;
It is a program to make it function as.
According to such a program, the probability of success increases as the remaining time until the standby time elapses before the temporary content standby time elapses. It becomes easy to acquire.

<Outline of the game>
Here, an outline of the game in the present embodiment will be described. The game according to the present embodiment is a battle game in which an enemy character appears in a party composed of a plurality of characters, and an enemy character that appears and battles each character constituting the party.

  In this battle game, a plurality of quests aimed at defeating enemy characters are set according to the difficulty level. Users can organize a party using their own characters and select one of the quests to challenge the enemy character. During the battle, a “treasure box” (provisional item) set to be obtainable in the selected quest may be given to the user. In this embodiment, three types of “treasure chests” of gold, silver, and copper are set.

  The user who has acquired the “treasure box” sets the “treasure box” in his / her waiting frame to open the “treasure box”. In the present embodiment, up to three “treasure chests” can be set in the standby frame. When “treasure chest” is set in the waiting frame, counting of the waiting time is started. In the present embodiment, a different waiting time is set for each type of “treasure chest”. When this waiting time elapses, the “treasure box” set in the waiting frame can be opened. When the “treasure box” set in the waiting frame is opened, “jewel” (this item) is given to the user as the contents of the “treasure box”. Even if the user does not set the treasure box in the waiting frame, it may be automatically set if the waiting frame is empty when the treasure box is obtained. At that time, it is set in the standby frame in the treasure box insertion procedure. Then, when the standby frame becomes empty due to the elapse of the standby time, the next treasure chest may be automatically set in the standby frame (automatic opening, autoset).

  For “jewels” that are the contents of “treasure chests”, rarity is set according to the type of “treasure chest”. In this embodiment, the “jewelry” that can be acquired as the contents of the “copper treasure chest”, “silver treasure chest”, and “gold treasure chest” is set so as to increase the rarity.

  Also, after a “treasure chest” is set in the waiting frame, if the user performs a game operation to open the “treasure chest” halfway without waiting for the elapse of the waiting time, the opening of the “treasure chest” will succeed or fail. Is determined by lottery. In the present embodiment, when the game operation for opening the “treasure chest” is performed by the user, a success probability is set such that the smaller the remaining time until the standby time is, the easier the success is. Therefore, before the waiting time elapses, the user who has waited for a longer time is more likely to succeed in opening the “treasure chest”.

  If the opening of the “treasure box” is successful, a “jewel” set with the same class of rarity as the “jewel” given when the waiting time has elapsed can be obtained. On the other hand, if the opening of the “treasure box” fails, you can acquire “jewels” that have a lower class rarity than the “jewels” that are granted when the waiting time has elapsed (or acquire nothing). You may not be able to).

  In this way, when the user has set a “treasure chest” in the waiting frame and performs a game operation for opening halfway before the lapse of the waiting time, if the opening is determined as a lottery result, the “jewel” Can be earned. And, after the waiting time has passed without the user performing a game operation for opening in the middle, the “jewel” can always be obtained. By this, it waits for the waiting time of the “treasure box” to elapse and then gets the “jewel” without fail, or it is given when the waiting time has passed without waiting for the waiting time to elapse. You can choose to challenge to acquire "jewels" or make a strategy.

This provisional item information includes provisional item ID, type, appearance probability, standby time, gem rarity, and the like as items. The temporary item ID is information for uniquely identifying a treasure chest. The type is information indicating the type of treasure chest. The appearance probability is information indicating a probability that a treasure box is given during the battle by the provisional item assignment unit 202. Here, the appearance probability of the “gold treasure chest” is set to be the lowest. In other words, the “gold treasure chest” is most difficult to obtain. The waiting time is information indicating a waiting time during which the treasure chest can be obtained with certainty. The gem rarity is information indicating the class of the rarity set for the gem as the contents of the treasure chest. Here, the rarity class set in the gem as the contents of the “gold treasure chest” is set highest.

  FIG. 7 is a configuration diagram illustrating an example of user information. This user information includes user ID, character, point, treasure box, jewelry, virtual currency, standby information, party information and the like as items. The user ID is information for uniquely identifying the user. The character is information indicating the character ID of the character possessed by the user. The point is information indicating the amount of points possessed by the user. Users can challenge their quests by consuming their points. The treasure box is information indicating a treasure box possessed by the user. Here, as shown in parentheses in the figure, the number of possessions is also set for each type of treasure chest.

The standby information is information regarding the treasure chest set in the user's standby frame. The party information is information indicating characters included in the party organized by the user.

  FIG. 8 is an image diagram illustrating an example of a setting screen. On this setting screen 500, a treasure box display area 501 and a standby frame set area 502 are displayed. In the treasure chest display area 501, treasure chests owned by the user are displayed based on the user information. The standby frame setting area 502 includes a first standby frame 502a, a second standby frame 502b, and a third standby frame 502c, and one treasure box can be set in each standby frame. Thus, in this embodiment, the number limit is provided for the user's standby frame. Therefore, even if the user has more than three (three or more) treasure boxes for the number of standby frames, only the number of standby frames can be set. In other words, the remaining treasure chests must be kept until the waiting frame becomes empty. In the first standby frame 502a, a “gold treasure chest” selected by the user from the treasure chest display area 501 and an operation button 503 for confirming the set of the “gold treasure chest” are displayed. The first waiting frame 502a has a waiting time (“3 hours”) of the “gold treasure chest” and a rarity of gems (“rare degree 5”) in the “gold treasure chest” based on the provisional item information. Is also displayed. In the second standby frame 502b and the third standby frame 502c, a state where a treasure box has not yet been selected is displayed.

  When the setting screen 500 is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10, the user presses the operation button 503 corresponding to the treasure box of the standby frame in the standby frame set area 502, so that the treasure box is displayed on the standby frame. A game operation for setting is performed on the client terminal 10.

  Returning to FIG. 5, when the user's game operation is performed on the setting screen 500 in this way, the operation reception unit 150 of the client terminal 10 receives the operation content based on the user's game operation (step S12). Then, the request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 requests the server device 20 for a set process based on the operation content received by the operation reception unit 150 from the user.

  Next, when the game execution unit 201 of the server device 20 receives the operation content from the client terminal 10, the game execution unit 201 updates the standby information set in the user information of the user and waits for the treasure box selected by the user on the setting screen 500. The frame is set (step S13). Then, when the treasure chest is set in the standby frame by the user's operation, the standby time is counted by the timer.

  FIG. 9 is a configuration diagram illustrating an example of standby information. The standby information includes items such as a standby frame, a treasure box, a set date and time, and a remaining time. The standby frame is information for specifying three standby frames in which a treasure chest can be set. The treasure box is information indicating the treasure box set in the standby frame. The set date and time is information indicating the date and time when the treasure chest was set in the standby frame by the user's operation. The remaining time is information indicating the remaining time from when the treasure box is set by the user's operation to the standby time.

  Returning to FIG. 5, next, the game execution unit 201 of the server device 20 refers to the standby information set in the user information of the user, and determines whether or not the standby time of the treasure chest set in the standby frame has elapsed. Is determined (step S14).

  As a result of this determination, if it is determined that the standby time of the treasure box set in the standby frame has not elapsed, the process proceeds to step S16 described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the waiting time of the treasure chest set in the waiting frame has elapsed, the process proceeds to the next step S15.

  Next, when it is determined that the waiting time of the treasure chest set in the waiting frame has elapsed, the game execution unit 201 of the server device 20 accepts the user's opening operation, and then the game executing unit 201 Request execution of the item grant process (step S15).

  When the game execution unit 201 requests execution of the item granting process, the item granting unit 203 refers to the provisional item information stored in the provisional item information storage unit 222 and uses the contents of the treasure box for which the waiting time has elapsed. Identify the rarity of a jewel. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, when the treasure box for which the standby time has elapsed is a “gold treasure box”, the rarity of the jewel that is the content thereof is “rare degree 5”. In the case of “silver treasure chest”, the rarity of the gem is “rare degree 4”, and in the case of “copper treasure chest”, the rarity of the gem is “rare degree 3”.

  And this item provision part 203 refers to this item information which this item information storage part 223 memorize | stores, acquires the gem of the specified rarity randomly from several types of gems, and is with respect to a user. To grant. At this time, the item granting unit 203 updates the user information stored in the user information storage unit 224, erases the treasure chest whose standby time has elapsed from the user's ownership, and the item possessed by the user. Set as. At the same time, the standby information set in the user information is updated, and the standby frame is made empty by deleting the treasure box whose standby time has elapsed from the standby frame.

  FIG. 10 is a configuration diagram illustrating an example of the item information. This item information has the item ID, type, rare degree, and the like as items. The item ID is information for uniquely identifying the item. The type is information indicating the type of this item. The rarity is information indicating the class of rarity set for this item.

  Next, if the game execution unit 201 of the server device 20 determines that the waiting time of the treasure chest set in the waiting frame has not elapsed in the process of step S14 described above, the user has elapsed the waiting time. It is determined whether or not a game operation for opening the treasure chest is performed halfway without waiting (step S16). The user can perform a game operation on the standby screen as shown in FIG. 11 to open the treasure box set in the standby frame halfway.

  FIG. 11 is an image diagram illustrating an example of a standby screen. On this standby screen 550, a standby frame display area 551 is displayed. The standby frame display area 551 includes a first standby frame 551a, a second standby frame 551b, and a third standby frame 551c. Each standby frame includes a standby time of the treasure chest set in the standby frame, a remaining time until the standby time, a success probability, and an operation button 552 for opening the treasure chest set in the standby frame halfway. .

  A user who wishes to open the treasure chest set in the standby frame performs an operation corresponding to the treasure chest of the standby frame in the standby frame display area 551 when the standby screen 550 is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10. When the button 552 is pressed, a game operation for opening the treasure chest on the way is performed on the client terminal 10.

  In this embodiment, the number of standby frames is limited in this way. Therefore, even if the user has more than three (three or more) treasure boxes for the number of standby frames, only the number of standby frames can be set. In other words, the remaining treasure chests must be kept until the waiting frame becomes empty. Therefore, since the success probability may be low, a user who wants to open the treasure box early may open the waiting box in the middle by opening the treasure box and set the remaining treasure boxes one after another. On the other hand, the user who wants to open the treasure box surely waits until the waiting time elapses. In this way, the user can set a treasure chest in the waiting frame while making a strategy.

  When the user's game operation is performed on the standby screen 550 in this manner, the operation reception unit 150 of the client terminal 10 receives the operation content based on the user's game operation. Then, the request transmitting unit 101 of the client terminal 10 requests the server device 20 for the opening lottery process based on the operation content received by the operation receiving unit 150 from the user.

  When it is determined that the game operation for opening the treasure chest is not performed as a result of the determination in the process of step S16 described above, the process returns to the process of step S14, and whether or not the standby time has elapsed again. A determination is made. On the other hand, if it is determined that a game operation for opening the treasure chest is performed halfway, the process proceeds to the next step S17.

  Next, when it is determined that the game operation for opening the treasure box set in the standby frame has been performed in the process of step S <b> 16 described above, the item granting unit 203 of the server device 20 has the treasure box. An opening lottery is performed in which success or failure is determined by lottery (step S17).

  In this opening lottery, as shown in FIG. 12, when a game operation for opening a treasure box is performed by the user, a success probability is set such that the smaller the remaining time until the standby time, the easier the success. Therefore, before the waiting time elapses, the longer the waiting time, the easier it is to open the treasure chest.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the remaining time until the standby time and the success probability. Here, the relationship between the remaining time until the standby time and the success probability is defined for each type of treasure chest. Each treasure chest is set so that the success probability increases as the remaining time until the waiting time decreases.

  Next, the item assigning unit 203 of the server device 20 determines whether or not the opening of the treasure box set in the standby frame has been successfully determined as a result of the opening lottery performed in Step S17 described above (Step S17). S18).

  As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the treasure chest set in the standby frame is unsuccessful, the process proceeds to step S20 described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the treasure chest set in the standby frame has been successfully opened, the process proceeds to the next step S19.

  Next, when it is determined that the treasure chest set in the standby frame has been successfully opened, the item assigning unit 203 of the server device 20 determines that the treasure chest standby time has elapsed in the process of step S15 described above. A gem set with the same class of rarity as the given gem is given (step S19).

  Specifically, the item granting unit 203 refers to the provisional item information stored in the provisional item information storage unit 222, and identifies the rarity of the gem that is the contents of the treasure chest that has been determined to be successful. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, when the treasure chest for which success has been determined is a “gold treasure chest”, the rarity of the jewel that is the content is “rare degree 5”. In the case of “silver treasure chest”, the rarity of the gem is “rare degree 4”, and in the case of “copper treasure chest”, the rarity of the gem is “rare degree 3”.

  And this item provision part 203 refers to this item information which this item information storage part 223 memorize | stores, acquires the gem of the specified rarity randomly from several types of gems, and is with respect to a user. To grant. At this time, the item granting unit 203 updates the user information stored in the user information storage unit 224, erases the treasure chest determined to be successful from the user's ownership, and also the item possessed by the user. Set as. At the same time, the standby information set in the user information is updated, and the standby frame is made empty by deleting the treasure chest determined to be successful from the standby frame.

  Next, if it is determined that the item granting unit 203 of the server device 20 has failed to open the treasure chest set in the standby frame, the treasure chest standby time has elapsed in the processing of step S15 described above. A gem set with a lower class rarity than the given gem is given (step S20).

  Specifically, the item granting unit 203 refers to the provisional item information stored in the provisional item information storage unit 222, and specifies the rarity of the gem that is the contents of the treasure box for which the failure has been determined. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, when the treasure box for which the failure is determined is a “gold treasure box”, the rarity of the jewel that is the content is “rare degree 3” or “rare degree 4”. In the case of the “silver treasure chest”, the gem rarity is “rare degree 2” or “rare degree 3”, and in the case of the “copper treasure chest”, the gem rarity is “rare degree 1” or “ Rareness is 2 ”.

  Then, the item granting unit 203 refers to the book item information stored in the book item information storage unit 223, and randomly acquires one of the specified rare gems from a plurality of types of gems, Grant to users. At this time, the item granting unit 203 updates the user information stored in the user information storage unit 224, erases the treasure chest determined to be unsuccessful from the user's ownership, and the item possessed by the user. Set as. At the same time, the standby information set in the user information is updated, and the standby frame is made empty by deleting the treasure chest determined to have failed from the standby frame.

  As described above, according to the information processing system in the present embodiment, after the standby time has elapsed, the user needs to continue to wait for a long time, but can reliably acquire the gem that is the contents of the treasure chest. On the other hand, before the elapse of the waiting time, the user can easily acquire gems that are the contents of the treasure box (gems with the same rarity as those obtained after the elapse of the waiting time) according to the length of time that the user has waited. Thus, it is possible to improve the willingness to play.

[Other Embodiments]
The above-described embodiments are for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention can be changed and improved without departing from the gist thereof, and the present invention includes equivalents thereof. In particular, the embodiments described below are also included in the present invention.

<Control of waiting time>
In the above-described embodiment, the standby time control unit 204 can perform control to shorten the standby time of the treasure chest set in the standby frame.

  For example, the standby time control unit 204 can reduce the standby time of the other treasure chest that is set in the standby frame and is in a standby state by consuming one of the same type of treasure chests. Specifically, when a “copper treasure chest” that is already in a standby state is set in one standby frame on the setting screen 500 shown in FIG. 8, the user waits for another “copper treasure chest” in the same standby state. If you perform a game operation to set the frame redundantly, the other “copper treasure chest” will be consumed (it will disappear from the user's hand), and from the standby time of the “copper treasure chest” in the standby state (“1 hour”) Control is performed such that a predetermined time (for example, “5 minutes”) is reduced. The predetermined time to be reduced from the standby time may be a fixed time (for example, “5 minutes”), or the remaining time until the standby time may be reduced to half. Therefore, a user who wants to acquire multiple contents of a treasure box only needs to set the other treasure box in a waiting frame different from the waiting frame in which the same type of treasure box is already set, and on the other hand, wants to quickly acquire the contents of the treasure box. The user sets the other treasure chest in the same standby frame as the standby frame in which the same type of treasure chest is already set, on condition that the opportunity to acquire the contents of the treasure chest decreases (consumes the same type of treasure chest). do it.

  Also, for example, when the same type of treasure chest as the treasure chest that is already set in the standby frame and in the standby state is assigned by the temporary item granting unit 202, the standby time control unit 204 automatically adds the same type of treasure chest that has been granted. By consuming it, it is possible to automatically reduce the waiting time of a treasure chest that is already in a waiting state. Specifically, in the case where “gold treasure chest”, “silver treasure chest”, and “copper treasure chest” that are already in standby in all three standby slots are set, temporary item granting unit 202 “ When a “copper treasure chest” is granted, it automatically consumes the granted “copper treasure chest”, thereby waiting for a “copper treasure chest” that is already in the standby state (“1 hour”). ) To automatically reduce a predetermined time (for example, “5 minutes”).

Further, for example, when the waiting time control unit 204 counts the blank time when there is no waiting treasure box in the waiting frame, and there is a waiting treasure box newly set in the waiting frame, It is also possible to reduce the waiting time based on the counted blank time.
Specifically, when no treasure box is set in any of the three standby frames, the blank time is counted. Thereafter, when a new “copper treasure chest” is set in the standby frame, the blank time counted so far (eg, “5 minutes”) is consumed, and the “copper treasure chest” standby time (“1 hour”) is consumed. ) To reduce the blank time (“5 minutes”).
It is also possible to reduce the time less than the blank time counted so far. For example, when no treasure chest is set in any of the three standby frames, the blank time is counted. Thereafter, when a new “copper treasure chest” is set in the standby frame, the blank time counted so far (eg, “5 minutes”) is consumed, and the “copper treasure chest” standby time (“1 hour”) is consumed. ) To reduce half of the blank time (“2 minutes 30 seconds”). As a result, rather than increasing the blank time, setting the treasure box in the standby frame so that the blank time does not increase can use the effective time. As a result, continuous play can be promoted.
In the above specific example, the blank time may include the time from when the treasure box can be opened to when the user actually opens it.
In the specific example, the blank time counted so far may be displayed as a bar graph or the like on the standby screen 550.

  In addition, for example, the standby time control unit 204 can reduce the standby time of a treasure chest that is set in a standby frame and is in a standby state based on a user's game play situation. Specifically, when the number of logins to the game reaches a predetermined number, control is performed such that the predetermined time is reduced from the standby time of the treasure chest that is set in the standby frame and is in the standby state. Alternatively, when the number of times the quest is cleared reaches a predetermined number, control is performed so that the predetermined time is reduced from the standby time of the treasure chest that is set in the standby frame and is in the standby state. Alternatively, when the amount of points consumed by the user reaches a predetermined amount, control is performed such that the predetermined time is reduced from the standby time of the treasure chest that is set in the standby frame and is in the standby state.

  In the above example, instead of shortening the standby time of the treasure chest set in the standby frame, the standby time control unit 204 changes the standby time from “3 hours” to “3 hours”. 2 hours "), and the remaining time can be shortened while leaving the waiting time as it is (for example, if it is a" golden treasure chest ", the waiting time remains" 3 hours "and the remaining time at the present time. If the time is “2 hours”, it is set to “1 hour”).

  In the above-described embodiment, when the standby time control unit 204 performs control to shorten the standby time of the treasure chest set in the standby frame, it is given when the remaining time until the standby time becomes negative. The number of jewels may be increased, another item may be added in addition to the jewels, or the class of jewel rarity may be increased. For example, when the remaining time until the waiting time is “1 minute”, the waiting time is reduced by setting the same type of treasure chests in duplicate, or the waiting time is reduced based on the counted blank time. As a result, the remaining time becomes “−4 minutes”. In this case, give a gem that raises the rank of the rarity by one level (for example, if it is a “silver treasure chest”, it should be given a “rare degree 4” gem, the contents of the “gold treasure chest” Such as giving a gem of “rare degree 5”.

<Omission of temporary item>
In the above-described embodiment, the case where a gem (main item) can be acquired on the premise of acquiring a treasure box (temporary item) has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an event game in which a special item is given by participating in the game for a predetermined time (for example, 24 hours) is performed. At this time, the success probability corresponding to the remaining time up to the predetermined time (24 hours) for the user who participated up to half of the predetermined time (for example, 24 hours) (up to 12 hours) but then left halfway (For example, 50% for the remaining 12 hours). It is also possible to give a special item when success is decided by the lottery result and not give a special item when failure is decided. It is.

<Billing>
In the above-described embodiment, the virtual currency possessed by the user may be consumed in order to perform a game operation for opening the treasure chest set in the standby frame. In addition, when consuming virtual currency, when failure is determined by opening lottery, the same jewel as when success is determined may be given, or another item may be given besides jewel Good. Furthermore, when consuming virtual currency, it is desirable to make the consumption of the virtual currency constant regardless of the remaining time until the standby time.

<Granting this item before and after the waiting time has elapsed>
In the above-described embodiment, when a failure is determined for opening the treasure chest set in the standby frame, a gem with a lower class rarity than the gem given when the treasure chest standby time has passed is given. Is done. Under the present circumstances, you may raise the lowest rank of the rareness of the gem provided by this item provision part 203, so that there is little remaining time to standby time of a treasure box. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, when the game operation for opening the treasure chest is performed by the user, the lower the remaining time until the standby time, the higher the lowest class of gem rarity given by the item granting unit 203. It can also be set as follows. When opening a treasure box fails, users who have been waiting for a long time are more likely to feel irritation. However, the longer the waiting time is, the higher the minimum class of gem rarity is, so that the irritation of such users can be reduced.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the remaining time until the standby time and the lowest class of gems given when the failure occurs. Here, the relationship between the remaining time until the standby time and the lowest class is determined for each type of treasure chest. Each treasure chest is set so that the lowest rank of the rarity set for the gem given at the time of failure increases as the remaining time until the waiting time decreases.

<Special waiting frame>
In the above embodiment, a special standby frame having a size corresponding to three normal standby frames may be temporarily provided, and a user may be able to acquire an extra large treasure box having a size corresponding to three normal treasure chests. In this case, when the extra large treasure chest is set in the special standby frame, the special standby frame can be opened when a standby time (for example, 24 hours) corresponding to the special standby frame elapses.

<Special treasure chest>
In the above embodiment, the user may be able to acquire a special treasure chest in which a standby time that is less than the normal standby time is set. For example, when a special “gold treasure chest” can be obtained, if it is set in the waiting frame, if the waiting time is normal, it is “3 hours”, but “1 hour” that is 1/3 of that. It becomes.

<Use multiple waiting frames>
In the above embodiment, not only one standby frame but also a plurality of standby frames (second and third standby frames) may be set for one treasure box. In that case, the standby time is shortened by the standby frame. For example, if a “gold treasure chest” is normally set in one standby frame, the standby time is “3 hours”, but it can be set using another standby frame. The waiting time is ½, “1 hour 30 minutes”. Then, if another standby frame is set, the standby time becomes 1/3 of 1/3. Also, a plurality of standby frames may be set in the middle of a treasure box that has already been set, or the set may be canceled in the middle.

<Temporary item granting section>
In the above embodiment, the provisional item granting unit 202 determines whether or not a treasure box (temporary item) is set in all standby frames, and determines that a treasure box is set in all standby frames. It is also possible to control so as not to give the user a treasure chest. By doing so, the user cannot acquire the treasure chest during the battle, so he wants to open the set treasure chest early and make the standby frame empty. In this case, it is effective to open the treasure chest halfway without waiting for the waiting time to elapse.
