  The processor 10 reads a program from a storage 12 described later, and develops the program in a memory 11 described later. The processor 20 reads a program from a storage 22 described later, and develops the program in a memory 21 described later. The processor 10 and the processor 20 execute the developed program.

  The memories 11 and 21 are main storage devices. The memories 11 and 21 include storage devices such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The memory 11 provides the processor 10 with a work area by temporarily storing programs and various data read from the storage 12 described later by the processor 10. The memory 11 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 10 is operating according to a program. The memory 21 provides the processor 20 with a work area by temporarily storing various programs and data read from the storage 22 described later by the processor 20. The memory 21 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 20 is operating according to a program.

  In the present embodiment, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation of the user terminal 100 and the server 200. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation of a plurality of user terminals 100. The various data includes data related to the game such as user information and game information, and instructions or notifications transmitted and received between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 or between the plurality of user terminals 100.

  The storages 12 and 22 are auxiliary storage devices. The storages 12 and 22 are configured by a storage device such as a flash memory or a hard disk drive (HDD). The storage 12 and the storage 22 store various data regarding the game.

  The communication IF 13 controls transmission and reception of various data in the user terminal 100. The communication IF 23 controls transmission and reception of various data in the server 200. The communication IFs 13 and 23 control communication using, for example, communication via a wireless local area network (LAN), Internet communication via a wired LAN, a wireless LAN, or a mobile phone network, and short-range wireless communication.

  The input / output IF 14 is an interface for the user terminal 100 to receive input of data, and is an interface for the user terminal 100 to output data. The input / output IF 14 may input / output data via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) or the like. The input / output IF 14 may include, for example, a physical button of the user terminal 100, a camera, a microphone, a speaker, or the like. The input / output IF 24 of the server 200 is an interface for the server 200 to receive input of data, and is an interface for the server 200 to output data. The input / output IF 24 can include, for example, an input unit that is an information input device such as a mouse or a keyboard, and a display unit that is a device that displays and outputs an image.

  The touch screen 15 of the user terminal 100 is an electronic component in which the input unit 151 and the display unit 152 are combined. The input unit 151 is, for example, a touch sensitive device, and is configured of, for example, a touch pad. The display unit 152 is configured of, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display.

  The input unit 151 detects the position at which the user's operation (physical touch operation such as touch operation, slide operation, swipe operation, and tap operation) on the input surface is input, and inputs information indicating the position. A function of transmitting as a signal is provided. The input unit 151 may include a touch sensing unit (not shown). The touch sensing unit may employ any method such as a capacitance method or a resistance film method.

  Although not shown, the user terminal 100 may include one or more sensors for specifying the holding posture of the user terminal 100. This sensor may be, for example, an acceleration sensor or an angular velocity sensor. When the user terminal 100 includes a sensor, the processor 10 can specify the holding attitude of the user terminal 100 from the output of the sensor and perform processing according to the holding attitude. For example, when the user terminal 100 is held in the vertical orientation, the processor 10 may perform vertical screen display that causes the display unit 152 to display a vertically long image. On the other hand, when the user terminal 100 is held in landscape orientation, a landscape image may be displayed on the display unit to display a horizontally long image. Thus, the processor 10 may be capable of switching between vertical screen display and horizontal screen display according to the holding attitude of the user terminal 100.

  The camera 17 includes an image sensor and the like, and converts a light incident from the lens into an electric signal to generate a photographed image.

  The distance measurement sensor 18 is a sensor that measures the distance to the measurement object. The distance measuring sensor 18 includes, for example, a light source that emits pulse-converted light and a light receiving element that receives the light. The distance measuring sensor 18 measures the distance to the measurement object based on the light emission timing from the light source and the light reception timing of the reflected light generated when the light emitted from the light source is reflected on the measurement object. The distance measuring sensor 18 may have a light source that emits light having directivity.

  Here, an example in which the user terminal 100 receives a detection result in which the object 1010 in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 is detected using the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 as an input operation of the user will be further described. The camera 17 and the distance measurement sensor 18 may be provided, for example, on the side surface of the housing of the user terminal 100. A distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided in the vicinity of the camera 17. As the camera 17, for example, an infrared camera can be used. In this case, the camera 17 may be provided with an illumination device that emits infrared light, a filter that blocks visible light, and the like. This makes it possible to further improve the detection accuracy of an object based on a photographed image of the camera 17 regardless of whether it is outdoors or indoors.

  The processor 10 may perform one or more of the processes shown in the following (1) to (5), for example, on the captured image of the camera 17. (1) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to specify whether the captured image includes the user's hand. The processor 10 may use a technique such as pattern matching as an analysis technique employed in the above-described image recognition processing. (2) Also, the processor 10 detects the user's gesture from the shape of the user's hand. The processor 10 specifies, for example, the number of fingers of the user (the number of extending fingers) from the shape of the user's hand detected from the captured image. The processor 10 further identifies a gesture performed by the user from the number of identified fingers. For example, when the number of fingers is five, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a gesture of “par”. Further, when the number of fingers is zero (the finger is not detected), the processor 10 determines that the user has made the gesture of “Go”. In addition, when the number of fingers is two, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a gesture of “Tokiki”. (3) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to detect whether the user's finger is in a state where only the forefinger is standing or whether the user's finger makes a flicking motion. . (4) The processor 10 determines an object 1010 (such as a user's hand) in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 based on at least one of the image recognition result of the image captured by the camera 17 and the output value of the distance measuring sensor 18. ) And the user terminal 100 are detected. For example, the processor 10 determines whether the user's hand is near the user terminal 100 (for example, a distance less than a predetermined value) or far (for example, the predetermined value) depending on the size of the user's hand specified from the captured image of the camera 17 It is detected whether the distance is above. In addition, when the captured image is a moving image, the processor 10 may detect whether the user's hand is approaching or away from the user terminal 100. (5) If it is found that the distance between the user terminal 100 and the user's hand is changing while the user's hand is being detected based on the image recognition result of the captured image of the camera 17, etc., the processor 10 recognizes that the user is shaking his / her hand in the shooting direction of the camera 17. If an object is detected or not detected by the distance measurement sensor 18 whose directivity is stronger than the shooting range of the camera 17, the processor 10 shakes the hand in the direction orthogonal to the shooting direction of the camera. recognize.

  In this manner, the processor 10 determines whether or not the user is grasping his / her hand by image recognition on the captured image of the camera 17 (“Goo” gesture or other gesture (eg “Par”)). To detect The processor 10 also detects how the user is moving this hand, as well as the shape of the user's hand. In addition, the processor 10 detects whether the user is approaching or moving away from the user terminal 100. Such an operation can be made to correspond to an operation using a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch panel. For example, the user terminal 100 moves a pointer on the touch screen 15 in response to the movement of the user's hand, and detects the user's gesture "goo". In this case, the user terminal 100 recognizes that the user is continuing the selection operation. The continuation of the selection operation corresponds to, for example, the state in which the mouse is clicked and pressed down or the state in which the touch panel is touched after the touch-down operation is performed on the touch panel. Further, when the user further moves his / her hand while the user's gesture “go” is detected, the user terminal 100 performs such a series of gestures as an operation corresponding to the swipe operation (or drag operation). It can also be recognized. In addition, when the user terminal 100 detects a gesture that the user repels a finger based on the detection result of the user's hand based on the captured image of the camera 17, the user terminal 100 clicks the gesture or taps the touch panel. You may recognize as operation corresponding to.

<Processing flow>
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of the character lottery process executed in the game system 1 based on the game program 131 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of the game screen 40 displayed on the display unit 152. At any point before the process of FIG. 3 is executed, the UI control unit 113 generates the game screen 40 shown in FIG. The game screen 40 includes a message box 41 and options 42 to 45. The display control unit 112 displays the game screen 40 shown in FIG.

  The message box 41 includes text information that describes the type and number of game items that are held by the user and that can be used for the character lottery (first lottery). In FIG. 3, the game item is a character ticket or a currency available in the game. The user can execute a lottery to acquire a character that can be used during game play by consuming a character ticket or currency. Each of the options 42 to 45 includes information indicating the number of times the lottery is performed when the option is selected by the user, and information indicating the type and the number of game items necessary for the number of the lottery.

  In step S <b> 101, the object management unit 117 causes the storage unit 130 to store information representing a character that can be used by the user among a plurality of characters that can be used in the game. This information is, for example, an identifier for identifying a character. Below, the character which a user can utilize may be expressed as the character which a user holds. In step S102, the operation reception unit 111 determines whether or not a character lottery is instructed. For example, the operation receiving unit 111 determines that the character lottery has been instructed when the user's operation input for selecting any of the options 42 to 45 is received. In the case of NO at step S102, the process shown in FIG. 3 ends. In the case of YES in step S102, in step S103, the lottery unit 115 determines a character by executing the character lottery of the number of times corresponding to the selected option. Specifically, the lottery unit 115 determines which character to give to the user, for example, of a character group (object group) including one or more characters (objects) available in the game. The lottery unit 115 determines the number of characters corresponding to the number of lotteries from the character group by lottery. For example, when the number of times of the lottery is one, the lottery unit 115 determines one character.

  Each character available in the game has a degree of rarity unique to that character. The rarity is a kind of game parameter that represents the rarity of a character in a game as a numerical value. The higher the rarity of the character, the higher the rarity of the character in the game. In the present disclosure, the rarity of the character takes any one of 1, 2 and 3. The higher the rarity of the character, the lower the probability that the character will be determined by the character lottery. In other words, the higher the rarity of the character, the lower the possibility that the user can acquire the character. The value of the character in the game is higher as the rarity is higher. For example, the higher the character's rarity, the higher the character's performance. The object management unit 117 stores the rarity degree of each character in the storage unit 130 in association with information representing each character.

  In step S104, the determination unit 116 determines whether the character determined by the character lottery and the character that can be used by the user represented by the information stored in the storage unit 130 satisfy the first condition. . The first condition is, for example, that the character determined by the character lottery overlaps with any character that can be used by the user. For example, when the information representing the character determined by the character lottery and any information representing the character that can be used by the user stored in the storage unit 130 match each other, the determination unit 116 determines that the first condition Is determined to be satisfied. In the case of NO in step S104, in step S105, the object management unit 117 causes the storage unit 130 to store information representing the character determined by the character lottery as information representing a character that can be used by the user. Thereby, the object management part 117 can give the character determined by the character lottery to the user. When the character is given to the user, the display control unit 112 updates the game screen 40 as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a view showing a specific example of the game screen 40 displayed on the display unit 152. As shown in FIG. A game screen 40 shown in FIG. 5 includes a thumbnail 51 and an additional image 61. The thumbnail 51 includes an image corresponding to the character C4 and representing a part of the character C4. The additional image 61 represents that the user does not have the character C4 corresponding to the thumbnail 51 before the character lottery. By visually recognizing the thumbnail 51 and the additional image 61, the user recognizes that the non-held character C4 has been newly obtained before the character lottery. Thereafter, the process shown in FIG. 3 ends.

  If YES in step S104, in step S106, the lottery unit 115 can execute an accessory lottery in which any one of the object group including the accessory ticket is determined. In detail, the lottery unit 115 stochastically gives the accessory ticket to the user. As a result, it is possible to diversify means for acquiring an object that can be used by the user in the game and to improve the interest of the game.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of accessory ticket probabilistic grant processing executed in the game system 1 based on the game program 131 according to the present embodiment. In step S201, the lottery unit 115 determines which of the second condition and the third condition the determined rarity of the character satisfies. The second condition is that the rarity of the character is 1 or 2. The third condition is that the rarity of the character is 3. Thus, the third condition represents that the rarity is higher than the second condition.

  If it is determined in step S201 that the rarity degree satisfies the second condition, the lottery unit 115 executes a ticket lottery (third lottery) in step S202. The ticket lottery is a lottery for determining either an accessory ticket or a present, and is an example of the third lottery in the present invention. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of the ticket lottery process executed in the game system 1 based on the game program 131 according to the present embodiment. In step S301, the determination unit 116 determines whether the determined rarity of the character is 1 or 2. If it is determined in step S301 that the character rarity is 1, in step S302, the lottery unit 115 determines one of the accessory ticket and the present based on the set probability. The setting probability is the probability that the accessory ticket is determined. In step S302, the lottery unit 115 determines an accessory ticket or a present after setting the setting probability to less than 100%. If it is determined in step S301 that the character rare degree is 2, the lottery unit 115 sets the accessory ticket setting probability to 100% in step S303, and then determines the accessory ticket.

  FIG. 8 is a view showing a specific example of the game screen 40 displayed on the display unit 152. As shown in FIG. In step S203, the object management unit 117 gives the determined accessory ticket or present to the user. Specifically, the object management unit 117 causes the storage unit 130 to store information indicating the determined accessory ticket or present. The information representing the accessory ticket is, for example, an identifier for identifying the accessory ticket. The information representing the present is, for example, an identifier for identifying the present.

  For example, when the accessory ticket is given, the display control unit 112 displays the game screen 40 shown in the state (A) of FIG. The game screen 40 shown in the state (A) of FIG. 8 includes a thumbnail 52 and an additional image 62. The thumbnail 52 includes an image corresponding to the character C2 and representing a part of the character C2. The rarity level of the character C2 is 2. The additional image 62 represents that the accessory ticket has been given to the user because the user has already held the character C2 corresponding to the thumbnail 52 before the character lottery. The user visually recognizes the thumbnail 52 and the additional image 62, and as a result of the character C2 already held before the character lottery being determined by the character lottery, a new character can not be acquired, but instead an accessory ticket is acquired Recognize that.

  When a present is given, the display control unit 112 displays, for example, the game screen 40 shown in the state (B) of FIG. 8 on the display unit 152. The game screen 40 shown in the state (B) of FIG. 8 includes a thumbnail 53 and an additional image 63. The thumbnail 53 includes an image corresponding to the character C1 and representing a part of the character C1. The rarity of the character C1 is 1. The additional image 63 represents that the present determined as a result of the ticket lottery is given to the user because the user has already held the character C1 corresponding to the thumbnail 53 before the character lottery. The user visually recognizes the thumbnail 53 and the additional image 63, and as a result of determining the character C1 held before the character lottery by the character lottery, the user did not acquire a new character, but acquired a present instead. Recognize that.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the character rarity satisfies the second condition, the lottery unit 115 executes the ticket lottery so that the higher the character rarity, the higher the probability that the accessory ticket is given. . This enhances the user's sense of satisfaction that the first condition is satisfied. If the rarity of the determined character is 1, the accessory ticket is given to the user with a certain probability. If no accessory ticket is given, a present is given. On the other hand, if the character rarity is 2, the accessory ticket is always given to the user. In any case, if the first condition is satisfied as a result of the character lottery, an accessory ticket may be given to the user. Thereby, the user can feel the merit in the case where the first condition is satisfied. Furthermore, if the character's rarity satisfies the second condition, an accessory ticket or a present may be given to the user. In this way, by diversifying what is given to the user when the first condition is satisfied, the interest of the game can be further improved.

  If it is determined in step S201 that the character rarity satisfies the third condition, in step S204, the object management unit 117 gives the user a costume exchange ticket (fourth object) that can be used in the game. Do. At this time, the object management unit 117 gives the user any one of costume exchange ticket groups (object group) including one or more costume exchange tickets. Specifically, the object management unit 117 causes the storage unit 130 to store information representing the determined costume exchange ticket. The information representing the costume exchange ticket is, for example, an identifier for identifying the costume exchange ticket. The value of the game of the costume exchange ticket is higher than the value of the game of the accessory ticket. In this way, if the determined character rarity is 3 higher than 1 or 2, a costume exchange ticket having a higher value than the accessory ticket is given to the user, so the first condition is satisfied. The user's persuasive feeling further increases.

  When the costume exchange ticket is given, the display control unit 112 displays, for example, the game screen 40 shown in the state (C) of FIG. The game screen 40 shown in the state (C) of FIG. 8 includes the thumbnail 54 and the additional image 64. The thumbnail 54 includes an image corresponding to the character C3 and representing a part of the character C3. The rarity of the character C3 is 3. The additional image 64 represents that the costume exchange ticket has been given to the user, since the user holds the character C3 corresponding to the thumbnail 54 before the character lottery. The user visually recognizes the thumbnail 54 and the additional image 64, and as a result of the character C3 already held before the character lottery being determined by the character lottery, a new character is not acquired, but a costume exchange ticket is used instead. Recognize that it was acquired.

  In the case of YES in step S104, step S107 is executed following step S106. Note that the execution order of steps S106 and S107 is in no particular order. In step S107, the object management unit 117 changes the characters available to the user, represented by the information stored in the storage unit 130, so that the game can be advanced more advantageously. For example, when the user holds the character C1 and the character C1 is determined by the character lottery, the object management unit 117 changes the character C1 held by the user. When the character C1 is changed, the display control unit 112 displays, for example, the game screen 40 illustrated in FIG. 9 on the display unit 152.

  FIG. 9 is a view showing a specific example of the game screen 40 displayed on the display unit 152. As shown in FIG. The game screen 40 shown in FIG. 9 includes a character C1 and text for explaining that the character C1 has been changed. This text explains that the level upper limit of the character C1 is added by one. Since the ability of the character C1 is further improved if the level of the character C1 rises one more level, such an increase in the level upper limit allows the user to advance the game more advantageously using the character C1. Therefore, the user can further feel the merit in the case where the first condition for the character C1 is satisfied.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the first condition is not satisfied, the object management unit 117 gives the character determined by the character lottery to the user. Further, when the first condition is satisfied, the object management unit 117 does not assign the character determined by the character lottery to the user. Instead, the object management unit 117 can give the user a game item such as an accessory ticket according to the determined rarity of the character, and can advance the game with the user's owned character more advantageously To change. By this, it is provided that the user changes the character already possessed by the user so as to advance the game more advantageously, as an alternative merit that the character determined by the character lottery is given to the user. be able to.

(Determining character duplication)
When the operation receiving unit 111 receives the user's operation input for selecting the option 43 in the game screen 40 shown in FIG. 4, the lottery unit 115 executes the character lottery three times to obtain three characters. decide. The determination unit 116 determines, for each determined character, whether the character and any character that can be used by the user, represented by the information stored in the storage unit 130, satisfy the first condition. Do. If each of the determined three characters does not satisfy the first condition, the determination unit 116 determines whether the determined three characters satisfy the first condition with each other.

  For example, it is assumed that two characters C5 not held by the user are determined by the three character lotterys. In this case, the object management unit 117 gives the user at least one of the two determined characters C5. Specifically, the object management unit 117 causes the storage unit 130 to store information representing at least one of the determined two characters C5 as information representing the character C5 usable by the user. Thereby, the determination unit 116 determines that each of the other characters C5 determined by the character lottery and the character C5 usable by the user, represented by the information stored in the storage unit 130, satisfy the first condition. Do. As a result, the lottery unit 115 determines an accessory ticket, a present, or a costume exchange ticket given to the user by executing a ticket lottery according to the rarity of the character C5 for each of the other characters C5.

  When a plurality of characters are determined by the character lottery, the display control unit 112 displays, for example, the game screen 40 illustrated in FIG. 10 on the display unit 152. FIG. 10 is a view showing a specific example of the game screen 40 displayed on the display unit 152. As shown in FIG. A game screen 40 shown in FIG. 10 includes thumbnails 55 to 57 and additional images 65 to 67. The thumbnail 55 includes an image corresponding to the character C5 and representing a part of the character C5. The additional image 65 represents that the user does not have the character C5 corresponding to the thumbnail 55 before the character lottery. The thumbnail 56 includes an image corresponding to the character C6 and representing a part of the character C5. The additional image 66 represents that the user does not have the character C6 corresponding to the thumbnail 56 before the character lottery. The thumbnail 57 includes an image corresponding to the character C7 and representing a part of the character C7. The additional image 67 is an image indicating that the character C5 corresponding to the thumbnail 57 is not given to the user because a plurality of characters C5 corresponding to the thumbnail 57 are determined by character lottery. The additional image 67 is also an image representing that the accessory ticket is given to the user as a result of the character C5 corresponding to the thumbnail 57 overlapping with another character C5 determined at the same time.

  By visually recognizing the game screen 40 shown in FIG. 10, the user recognizes that three characters that the user does not have have been determined by the character lottery before the lottery. The user further recognizes that one of the two overlapping characters C5 is given to the user and the other is not given to the user, but an accessory ticket is given to the user instead. Thereby, the user can feel the merit in the case where the plurality of characters C5 satisfying the first condition are determined.

(Accessory lottery)
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of the accessory lottery process executed in the game system 1 based on the game program 131 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 12 is a view showing a specific example of the game screen 40 displayed on the display unit 152. As shown in FIG. At an arbitrary time before the process of FIG. 12 is executed, the UI control unit 113 generates the game screen 40 shown in FIG. The game screen 40 includes a message box 71 and options 72 and 73. The display control unit 112 displays the game screen 40 shown in FIG.

  The message box 41 includes text information describing the number of accessory tickets held by the user and available for accessory lottery (second lottery). The user can execute a lottery for acquiring available accessories during game play by consuming the accessory ticket. The options 72 and 73 include information indicating the number of lotteries executed when the option is selected by the user, and information indicating the number of accessory tickets necessary for the number of lotteries.

  The user selects in advance one of the characters possessed by the user that he / she wishes to equip with an accessory. Here, it is assumed that the character C1 is selected. The object management unit 117 causes the storage unit 130 to store information representing an accessory available to the user among the plurality of accessories available in the game before the accessory lottery is executed. In step S401, the operation reception unit 111 determines whether an accessory lottery is instructed. For example, the operation receiving unit 111 determines that an accessory lottery has been instructed when an operation input by the user for selecting one of the options 72 and 73 is received. If NO in step S401, the process shown in FIG. 11 ends. In the case of YES in step S401, in step S402, the lottery unit 115 executes the accessory lottery for the number of times corresponding to the selected option. For example, when the option 72 is selected, the lottery unit 115 executes the accessory lottery once based on one accessory ticket corresponding to the option 72. In this way, the lottery unit 115 determines which object to be provided to the user among the group of objects including one or more accessories available in the game, one or more gifts, and one or more costume exchange tickets. Do. Specifically, the lottery unit 115 determines the number of objects corresponding to the number of lotteries from the object group by lottery. For example, when the number of lotteries is one, one object is determined.

  In the lottery in step S402, the probability that the object is determined is high in the order of the accessory, the present, and the costume exchange ticket. When determining the accessory, the lottery unit 115 determines an accessory that can be equipped with the character selected by the user from a plurality of different accessories. When determining the present, the lottery unit 115 determines an arbitrary present among a plurality of different presents. In step S403, the determination unit 116 determines whether an accessory has been determined by accessory lottery. In the case of YES in step S403, in step S404, the determination unit 116 determines whether or not the determined accessory and the accessory that can be used by the user represented by the information stored in the storage unit 130 satisfy the first condition. Determine if The first condition is that the determined accessory overlaps with any accessory available to the user. For example, when the information indicating the determined accessory and any information representing the accessory usable by the user stored in the storage unit 130 match each other, for example, the first condition is satisfied. It is determined that If YES in step S404, in step S405, the lottery unit 115 determines a present instead of the determined accessory. In step S406, the object management unit 117 assigns the determined object to the user. Specifically, the object management unit 117 causes the storage unit 130 to store information representing the determined object as information representing an object available to the user.

  If NO in step S403, step S406 is executed. Further, when the result in step S404 is No, step S406 is executed.

  Thus, as a result of the accessory lottery, there is a possibility that not only the accessory but also a costume exchange ticket is given to the user. This can improve the user's motivation for acquiring the accessory ticket for performing the accessory lottery.
