The terminal device 20 is an information processing device used by a user, such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a PC (Personal Computer), or a game device. The terminal device 20 can execute a game application according to the present embodiment. The game application may be acquired by the terminal device 20 from a predetermined application distribution server via the network 30 such as the Internet, or a storage device provided in the terminal device 20 or a memory card readable by the terminal device 20 It may be stored in advance in a storage medium such as Server device 10 and terminal device 20 are communicably connected via network 30.

  The server device 10 and the terminal device 20 cooperate to execute a plurality of processes related to the game. For example, the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 may share and execute a series of processes. For example, each of the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 may execute the same process. For the same processing, when the processing results match between the server device 10 and the terminal device 20, the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 may complete the processing. On the other hand, if the processing results do not match between the server device 10 and the terminal device 20, the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 may complete the processing with the processing result of the server device 10 as positive, for example. The process may be rewound before execution of the same process. According to such a configuration, for example, even when the communication quality between the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 is temporarily lowered, the probability that the process is immediately interrupted is lowered. In addition, even when an unauthorized process such as parameter rewriting is performed in the terminal device 20, the probability that the unauthorized process can be eliminated is improved.

(Outline of the game)
An outline of the game according to the present embodiment will be described. The game according to the present embodiment includes one or more game parts. At least one game part among the one or more game parts may be executed using a game medium to be described later. During execution of the game part, the game medium may be operated by a user or AI (Artificial Intelligence), for example. The AI may be realized by a processor provided in the server device 10 or the terminal device 20, for example.

  The game medium is electronic data used in the game, for example, a card, an item, a virtual currency, a ticket, a character, an avatar, level information, status information, parameter information (physical strength value, attack power, etc.), and ability information. (Skills, abilities, spells, jobs, etc.) The game medium is electronic data that can be acquired, owned, used, managed, exchanged, combined, strengthened, sold, discarded, or gifted by the user in the game. It is not limited to what is explicitly stated.

  Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, “a game medium owned by a user” refers to a game medium associated with a user ID that can uniquely identify the user. Further, “giving a game medium to a user” indicates that the game medium is associated with a user ID. Further, “discarding the game media owned by the user” means that the association between the user ID and the game media is canceled. Further, “consuming a game medium owned by a user” indicates that some effect or influence can be exhibited in the game in accordance with the cancellation of the association between the user ID and the game medium. Further, “selling game media owned by the user” means that the association between the user ID and the game media is canceled and another game media (for example, virtual currency or item) is associated with the user ID. Indicates. “Transfer the game medium owned by user A to user B” means that the association between the user ID of user A and the game medium is canceled and the game medium is associated with the user ID of user B. Indicates. Further, “creating a game medium” means defining or determining at least a part of information related to the game medium.

  The game part may include any content that can be played by the user in the game. For example, a game part can be a quest, a mission, a mini game, game media acquisition, training, enhancement, and composition, a search for virtual space, and an opponent (eg, other users, enemy characters, enemy buildings, etc.) It may also include content such as One or more predetermined game tasks may be set for each game part. When it is determined that one or more game tasks set in the game part played by the user have been successfully achieved, for example, a game medium or the like may be given to the user as a reward. The game task includes, for example, a task of winning a battle with an enemy character, a task of reaching a goal point in the virtual space, and a user character in a predetermined state (for example, a soundness level described later) until a predetermined time elapses. Arbitrary issues according to the contents of the game part, such as a task that does not become zero), can be adopted. In addition, the achievement of a specific game task (clear task) among one or more game tasks set for the game part is also referred to as clearing the game part. When the user who plays a game part succeeds in achieving the clear task, it is determined that the game part is cleared, and the game part may end.

  The one or more game parts may include a single-play game part and a multi-play game part. The game part for single play may include, for example, a game part (for example, a game part for one person) executed based on a user operation on one terminal device 20 used by one user. For example, the single terminal device 20 alone or the one terminal device 20 and the server device 10 cooperate to execute a game part for single play. On the other hand, the game part for multiplayer is executed based on, for example, a user operation on two or more terminal devices 20 respectively used by two or more users, and is a game part common to the two or more users (for example, , A multi-person game part). The game part common to two or more users is, for example, a game part in which at least a part of the progress process of the game part and at least a part of the processing result are commonly applied to the two or more users. May be included. For example, two or more terminal devices 20 cooperate or two or more terminal devices 20 and the server device 10 cooperate to execute a multi-play game part. The game part for multiplayer may include a game part in which a plurality of users fight or cooperate in the game. One game part may support both single play and multi play.

(Configuration of server device)
The configuration of the server device 10 will be specifically described. The server device 10 includes a server communication unit 11, a server storage unit 12, and a server control unit 13.

  The server communication unit 11 includes one or more interfaces that communicate with an external device wirelessly or by wire and transmit / receive information. The server communication unit 11 may include, for example, a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) communication module or a wired LAN communication module. The server communication unit 11 can transmit and receive information to and from the terminal device 20 via the network 30.

  The server storage unit 12 includes one or more memories. The memory may include, for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic memory, or an optical memory. The server storage unit 12 may function as a primary storage device or a secondary storage device, for example. The server storage unit 12 stores information and programs used for game processing. At least a part of the information and programs stored in the server storage unit 12 may be shared and synchronized with the terminal device 20. Hereinafter, an example of information stored in the server storage unit 12 will be specifically described.

(Information about users)
The server storage unit 12 stores information related to a plurality of users. FIG. 2 shows information about one user. The information regarding the user may include arbitrary information and data unique to the user. For example, the information regarding the user includes a user ID, a user parameter, information regarding the game medium, and history data. In the information regarding the user, each of the user parameter, the information regarding the game medium, and the history data is associated with the user ID.

  The user ID is information that can uniquely identify the user. Hereinafter, the user ID is also simply referred to as a user.

  The user parameter may include an arbitrary parameter used when the game is played by the user. For example, the user parameters include a rank, an upper limit number of ownerships, and a deck capacity.

  The rank is a parameter indicating the skill level or play experience of the user regarding the game. In the present embodiment, the rank value may be increased according to the game play by the user. The higher the rank, the higher the skill level of the user regarding the game or the longer the play experience.

  The owned upper limit number indicates the upper limit number of game media (for example, characters or items) that the user can own in the game. That is, the possession upper limit number indicates the upper limit number of game media that can be associated with the user. For example, the ownership upper limit number may increase as the rank increases.

  The deck capacity is a parameter used to limit game media that can be included in one deck. A deck may contain one or more game media used for game parts. A “cost” parameter, which will be described later, is set in the game medium. One or more arbitrary game media can be included in the deck within the range where the total cost of each game media included in the deck is less than or equal to the deck capacity. is there. Here, an upper limit number n of game media that can be included in one deck may be determined. In such a case, a maximum of n game media can be included in the deck from among the game media owned by the user in the game within a range where the total cost of each game media included in the deck is equal to or less than the deck capacity. It is. For example, the deck capacity may increase as the rank increases.

  The user parameter is not limited to the example described above. For example, the user parameter may include information indicating one or more game parts permitted to be played by the user among a plurality of game parts included in the game. The game parts that require permission for the user to play may include, for example, a multi-play game part, a game part that synthesizes game media, and a game part that chats with other users. For example, when the user rank reaches a predetermined value, the number of game parts that are allowed to be played by the user may increase.

(Information about game media)
The information regarding the game medium may include any information and data specific to the game medium that the user owns in the game. For example, the information regarding the game media shown in FIG. 3 indicates information regarding two game media owned by the user in the game. For example, the information regarding the game medium includes a game medium ID, a level, a rarity level, a cost, a soundness level, and an attack power. In the information about the game media, the level, rarity, cost, soundness, and attack power are associated with the game media ID.

  The game medium ID is information that can uniquely identify the game medium. Hereinafter, the game medium ID is also simply referred to as a game medium.

  The level is information indicating the degree of growth of the game media. For example, the greater the level value, the greater the growth rate of the game media. In the present embodiment, the level may be increased according to the game play by the user who owns the game medium.

  The rarity level is information indicating the degree of rarity of the game media. For example, the greater the rarity value, the higher the rarity level of the game media. The degree of rarity may increase according to the game play by the user. For example, the upper limit value of the level may increase as the rarity level increases.

  Cost is a parameter used in conjunction with the deck capacity described above to limit the game media that can be included in one deck. For example, the cost may increase as the level or rarity increases.

  The soundness level is a parameter indicating the degree of deterioration of the game media. The soundness level of a game medium can be reduced, for example, when the game medium is attacked by an opponent in a game part in which the game medium is played against another game medium that is an opponent. When the soundness level decreases to a predetermined value (for example, zero), an arbitrary process that is disadvantageous in terms of the game is executed on the game medium. The process may include, for example, a process for temporarily prohibiting execution of an action by the game medium, a process for temporarily deleting the game medium from the virtual space, and a process for changing data of the game medium. Accordingly, the greater the soundness level of the game content, the more advantageous to the user. For example, the soundness level may increase as the level or rarity level increases.

  The attack power is a parameter used to determine the amount of damage given to the opponent by the attack of the game medium. The greater the attack power value, the greater the amount of damage to the opponent. Your opponent's health is reduced by the amount of damage. Therefore, the greater the attack power of the game media, the more advantageous to the user. For example, the attack power may increase with an increase in level or rarity.

  The information regarding the game medium is not limited to the example described above. For example, the information related to the game medium may include an attribute set for the game medium. The attribute is information indicating an attribute of the game medium. The attributes may include a plurality of first attributes (for example, a fire attribute, a tree attribute, a water attribute, etc.) indicating superiority or inferiority relationships between game media in which a battle is performed. At least one first attribute among the plurality of first attributes is associated with one game medium. For example, in a fire attribute game medium, damage to a tree attribute game medium is larger than usual, and damage to a water attribute game medium is smaller than usual. Thus, for example, the fire attribute is advantageous over the tree attribute and disadvantageous over the water attribute. The attributes may include a plurality of second attributes (for example, an attack attribute, a recovery attribute, a balance attribute, etc.) that do not affect the superiority or inferiority of the game media to be played. At least one second attribute among the plurality of second attributes is associated with one game medium. Therefore, for example, there may be one game medium in which the first attribute is a fire attribute and the second attribute is an attack attribute.

(Historical data)
The history data shown in FIG. 2 may include arbitrary data regarding the history of the game played by the user. For example, the history data includes a login history and an event history.

  The login history may include arbitrary data related to a history of starting game applications. For example, the log-in history includes the date (first activation date) when the user first activated the application of the game using the terminal device 20, the number of days elapsed from the first activation date to the present, and the game using the terminal device 20 by the user. This may include the past period of starting the application, the total number of days in the period, the frequency of starting the game application, and the like.

  The event history may include any data related to one or more events held in the game for a predetermined period in the past. Holding an event may include, for example, allowing at least some users who satisfy a predetermined condition among a plurality of users to play the event. For example, the event history may include success or failure of achievement of a predetermined game task set in the event by the user, and points, scores, titles, and the like obtained by the user in the event.

  The server control unit 13 illustrated in FIG. 1 includes one or more processors. The processor may include a general-purpose processor and a dedicated processor specialized for specific processing. The server control unit 13 controls the operation of the entire server device 10. Hereinafter, an example of the operation of the server control unit 13 will be specifically described.

  The server control unit 13 stores various information and programs used for game processing in the server storage unit 12. The information used for game processing may include the above-described information related to the user and information related to the game medium.

  The server control unit 13 transmits and receives information via the server communication unit 11. For example, the server control unit 13 may transmit at least part of the information stored in the server storage unit 12 to the terminal device 20. In this way, the information stored in the server storage unit 12 and the information stored in the terminal device 20 are shared and synchronized. The timing at which information is shared and synchronized may include, for example, the timing at which new information is stored in the server storage unit 12 and the timing at which the information stored in the server storage unit 12 is updated. Also good. Further, for example, the server control unit 13 may acquire arbitrary information input or determined in the terminal device 20 via the server communication unit 11. The information may include, for example, information input by the user.

  The server control unit 13 executes a game in cooperation with the terminal device 20. For example, the server control unit 13 executes a game part in cooperation with one or more terminal devices 20. Further, for example, the server control unit 13 cooperates with two or more terminal devices 20 to execute a series of processes for correcting information related to the second user based on information related to the first user. Details of operations of the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 that execute the series of processes will be described later.

(Configuration of terminal device)
The configuration of the terminal device 20 will be specifically described. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the terminal device 20 includes a terminal communication unit 21, a terminal storage unit 22, a display unit 23, an input unit 24, and a terminal control unit 25.

  The terminal communication unit 21 includes an interface that communicates with an external device wirelessly or by wire and transmits and receives information. The terminal communication unit 21 may include a wireless communication module, a wireless LAN communication module, a wired LAN communication module, or the like corresponding to a mobile communication standard such as LTE (Long Term Evolution) (registered trademark). The terminal communication unit 21 can transmit and receive information to and from the server device 10 via the network 30.

  The terminal storage unit 22 includes, for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic memory, or an optical memory. The terminal storage unit 22 may function as, for example, a primary storage device or a secondary storage device. The terminal storage unit 22 may be built in the terminal device 20 or may be connected to the terminal device 20 via an arbitrary interface. The terminal storage unit 22 stores information and programs used for game processing. For example, the terminal storage unit 22 may store a game application program acquired from a predetermined application distribution server. Hereinafter, the application program is also simply referred to as an application. The terminal storage unit 22 may store part or all of the information about the user, the information about the first game medium, the information about the second game medium, and the information about the third game medium acquired from the server device 10. .

  The display unit 23 includes a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. The display unit 23 can display various screens.

  The input unit 24 includes an arbitrary input interface that accepts user operations. The input interface may include a pointing device such as a mouse, a physical key, and a touch panel provided integrally with the display unit 23, for example.

  The terminal control unit 25 includes one or more processors. The terminal control unit 25 controls the operation of the entire terminal device 20. Hereinafter, an example of the operation of the terminal control unit 25 will be specifically described.

  The terminal control unit 25 transmits and receives information via the terminal communication unit 21. For example, the terminal control unit 25 acquires information and a program used for game processing. Specifically, the terminal control unit 25 may acquire a game application from a predetermined application distribution server. The terminal control unit 25 may acquire part or all of the information related to the area and the information related to the game content from the server device 10.

  The terminal control unit 25 activates a game application in response to a user operation. The terminal control unit 25 executes a game in cooperation with the server device 10. For example, the terminal control unit 25 causes the display unit 23 to display a screen used for the game. For example, a plurality of GUIs (Graphic User Interfaces) for detecting user operations may be displayed on the screen. The terminal control unit 25 can detect a user operation on the screen via the input unit 24. In addition, for example, the terminal control unit 25 cooperates with the server device 10 and one or more other terminal devices 20 to execute a series of processes for correcting information related to the second user based on information related to the first user.

(Operation of server device and terminal device)
The operations of the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 that cooperate to execute a series of processes for correcting the information related to the second user based on the information related to the first user will be specifically described.

  The terminal control unit 25a of the first terminal device 20a of the first user transmits the first request to the server device 10, for example, in response to a user operation or automatically. The first user is a user who has already installed a game application on his / her terminal device 20. For example, when the rank of the first user reaches a predetermined threshold (for example, 100 points), the terminal control unit 25a may transmit the first request only for a predetermined number of times (for example, once). For example, the first request is a request for inviting a user who has not installed a game application to the game, a request for prompting a dormant user who is not logged in to the game, and a message from the first user to another user. A transmission request or the like may be included.

  The server control unit 13 acquires the first request from the first terminal device 20a. The server control unit 13 creates identification information corresponding to the first user. The identification information is information that can uniquely identify the first user. The identification information may include the user ID of the first user, for example. The server control unit 13 outputs the identification information so that the identification information can be notified to one or more second users.

  Specifically, when the user who has not installed the game application on his / her terminal device 20 is the second user, the server control unit 13 sends the identification information to the second user's second via e-mail, for example. You may transmit directly to the terminal device 20b, and you may post | mail identification information on the arbitrary websites which a 2nd user can browse. Alternatively, the server control unit 13 may output the identification information to the first terminal device 20a of the first user and cause the first terminal device 20a to further output the identification information. The terminal control unit 25b may acquire the application from a predetermined application distribution server, and install and start the application. When the game application is activated, the server device 10 and the second terminal device 20b cooperate to execute a predetermined user registration process. By executing the user registration process, information related to the second user is stored in the server storage unit 12.

  On the other hand, when the user who has already installed the game application in his / her terminal device 20 is the second user, the server control unit 13 identifies the second user's second terminal device 20b during the execution of the game. Information may be displayed on the second terminal device 20b.

  The terminal control unit 25 b of the second terminal device 20 b of the second user who has been notified of the identification information transmits a second request including the identification information to the server device 10. For example, the second request may include a request for correcting information regarding the second user.

  The server control unit 13 acquires the second request from the second terminal device 20b. The server control unit 13 may acquire the second request from each of the plurality of second terminal devices 20b used by each of the plurality of second users. The server control unit 13 creates correction data based on information about the first user. The server control unit 13 corrects information related to the second user using the correction data.

  For example, the server control unit 13 may correct at least a part (for example, rank) of the user parameters included in the information regarding the second user based on the correction data. In such a case, the correction data may be created based on the rank of the first user. For example, assuming that the rank value of the first user is x points, the correction data may include data for correcting the rank value of the second user to αx. Here, the coefficient α is 0.5, for example, but may be arbitrarily determined. Alternatively, if the rank value of the second user before correction is y points, the correction data may include data for correcting the second user rank value to βx + (1−β) y. Here, the coefficient β may be 0 <β <1. The same applies to the case where the user parameter upper limit number and deck capacity are corrected.

  According to this configuration, for example, even if the second user has just started the game, the user parameter of the second user is corrected based on the game parameter of the first user who has a relatively long game experience. For this reason, the second user can reach a user parameter that can be reached only by taking time and gaining experience of playing the game without taking a relatively long time. For this reason, it is possible to give the 2nd user the motivation to play a game. In addition, for example, when the first user and the second user fight or cooperate in the game, the difference in user parameters between the first user and the second user is reduced, so that each user is closer to fairness. The game can be played under certain conditions. For this reason, it is possible to give the 1st user the motivation to play a game.

  Further, for example, the server control unit 13 corrects at least a part of information related to the game medium included in the information related to the second user (for example, a game medium owned by the second user in the game) based on the correction data. May be. In such a case, the correction data may be created based on information relating to the game medium associated with the first user (that is, information relating to the game medium owned by the first user in the game). For example, when the game medium A is associated with the first user, the correction data may include data for associating another game medium B based on the game medium A with the second user. In such a case, the game medium B is given to the second user by the correction. Here, the data (level, rarity, cost, soundness, and attack power) of the game medium B excluding the game medium ID may be the same as or different from the data of the game medium A. For example, regardless of the value of the level of the game medium A, the level of the game medium B may be an initial value (for example, 1 point). Further, for example, regardless of the rarity level of the game medium A, the rarity level of the game medium B may be a predetermined value (for example, normal).

  According to such a configuration, for example, even if the second user has just started the game, the second game medium B based on the game medium A owned by the first user who has a relatively long game experience in the game is the second game medium B. Granted to the user. For this reason, the second user can obtain the game medium B, which can be obtained only by spending time and gaining experience of playing the game, without taking a relatively long time. For this reason, it is possible to give the 2nd user the motivation to play a game. In addition, for example, when the first user and the second user fight or cooperate in the game, the difference in the game media owned by the first user and the second user is reduced, so that each user is more fair. The game can be played under conditions close to. For this reason, it is possible to give the 1st user the motivation to play a game.

  For example, the server control unit 13 may correct at least a part of the history data included in the information related to the second user based on the correction data.

  Specifically, when the login history of the second user is corrected, the correction data may be created based on the login history of the first user. In such a case, the correction data may include data in a non-play period in which the game is not played by the second user. The non-play period may include, for example, a period before the second user installs the game application on the second terminal device 20b and a period in which the application is not activated after the installation. When the login history of the second user is corrected using the correction data, for example, the first activation date when the second user first activated the application of the game using the second terminal device 20b is a past date. Can be corrected. For example, the first user's initial activation date may be corrected to be the same day as the first user's initial activation date. Alternatively, the first user's initial activation date may be corrected to be an arbitrary date between the first user's initial activation date and the second user's initial activation date.

  According to such a configuration, for example, even if the second user has just started the game, for example, the first user's first activation date is further past based on the login history of the first user who has a relatively long game experience. The day is corrected. For this reason, the 2nd user can obtain the log-in history which can be obtained only by accumulating the play experience of the game by spending time relatively without taking time. For this reason, it is possible to give the 2nd user the motivation to play a game. For example, when the second user cooperates with another user in the game, the second user can make the second user think that the second user is a skilled user who has a relatively long game playing experience. . For this reason, since the probability that another user will send a request to cooperate in the game to the second user is improved, it is possible to give the second user the motivation to play the game.

  More specifically, when the event history of the second user is corrected, the correction data may be created based on the event history of the first user. In such a case, the correction data may include data relating to an event that is not played by the second user by the second user. Events that are not played by the second user are events held during the second user's non-play period and games that are played by the second user, but the second user does not play Event may be included. When the event history of the second user is corrected using the correction data, for example, success or failure of achievement of the predetermined game task set in the event by the user, and points, scores, and titles acquired by the user in the event Are added to the event history of the second user.

  According to such a configuration, even if it is a past event that is not actually played by the second user, the event history of the second user is corrected as if the event was played by the second user. For this reason, the 2nd user can obtain the event history which can be obtained only by accumulating the play experience of a game conventionally, without spending time comparatively. For this reason, it is possible to give the 2nd user the motivation to play a game. For example, when the second user cooperates with another user in the game, the second user can make the second user think that the second user is a skilled user who has a relatively long game playing experience. . For this reason, since the probability that another user will send a request to cooperate in the game to the second user is improved, it is possible to give the second user the motivation to play the game.

  When the server control unit 13 corrects the information related to the second user, the server control unit 13 may permit the second user to play a predetermined game part based on the corrected information related to the second user. For example, when the rank included in the information related to the second user becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined value by the correction, a predetermined game part (for example, a game part for multiplayer) may be playable by the second user. According to such a configuration, it is possible to play some game parts that are permitted to be played only by spending time and gaining game play experience in the past without taking a relatively long time. For this reason, it is possible to give the 2nd user the motivation to play a game.

  The server control unit 13 may display at least a part of the corrected information related to the second user on at least one of the first terminal device 20a of the first user and the second terminal device 20b of the second user.

  The server control unit 13 may correct information regarding a plurality of second users until the number of second users whose information is corrected reaches a predetermined upper limit. For example, the server control unit 13 may associate a predetermined reward (for example, a game medium) with the first user each time the information regarding the second user is corrected.

(First operation of server device)
With reference to FIG. 4, an example of a first operation of the server apparatus 10 that executes the above-described processing will be described.

  Step S100: The server control unit 13 stores various information and programs used for game processing in the server storage unit 12. For example, the server control unit 13 stores information on a plurality of users and information on game media.

  Step S101: The server control unit 13 acquires a first request from the first terminal device 20a of the first user.

  Step S102: The server control unit 13 creates identification information corresponding to the first user, and outputs the identification information so that the identification information can be notified to one or more second users.

  Step S103: The server control unit 13 acquires the second request from the second terminal device 20b of the second user.

  Step S104: The server control unit 13 creates correction data based on information about the first user.

  Step S105: The server control unit 13 corrects information related to the second user using the correction data.

  Step S106: The server control unit 13 permits the second user to play a predetermined game part based on the corrected information about the second user.

  Step S107: The server control unit 13 displays at least part of the corrected information on the second user on at least one of the first terminal device 20a of the first user and the second terminal device 20b of the second user.

  As described above, when the server device 10 according to the present embodiment acquires the first request from the first terminal device 20a of the first user, the server device 10 outputs identification information corresponding to the first user. When the server device 10 acquires the second request including the identification information from the second terminal device 20b of the second user, the server device 10 corrects the information related to the second user using the correction data based on the information related to the first user. Conventionally, the second user had to spend time to gain experience in playing the game. According to the embodiment of the present invention having the above-described configuration, the second user can take relatively little time. The information about the second user is corrected. For this reason, it is possible to give the 2nd user the motivation to play a game.

  Although the present invention has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications and corrections based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these variations and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each means, each step, etc. can be rearranged so that there is no logical contradiction, and a plurality of means, steps, etc. can be combined or divided into one. .

  For example, in this embodiment mentioned above, the structure which the terminal device 20 performs a part or all of the operation | movement and process which the server apparatus 10 performs may be sufficient. Similarly, the server device 10 may be configured to execute part of the operation performed by the terminal device 20. For example, processing such as display control of various screens displayed on the terminal device 20 and control of various GUIs may be executed by either the server device 10 or the terminal device 20, and the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 You may carry out in cooperation. Alternatively, the game system 1 may not include the server device 10. In such a case, the terminal device 20 may store in advance information received from the server device 10 in the above-described embodiment.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example of the operation of the terminal device 20 has been described with reference to FIG. However, some steps included in the operation or some operations included in one step may be omitted. The order of a plurality of steps may be changed within a logically consistent range.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the server control unit 13 outputs the identification information of the second user has been described. Here, the server control unit 13 may output arbitrary information regarding the first user in addition to the identification information. For example, the server control unit 13 may output the user parameters of the first user, information about the game media, history data, and the like. For example, in addition to the identification information, the server control unit 13 may output the remaining number of second users who can correct information related to the second user. According to such a configuration, the second user who visually recognizes the identification information and the information related to the first user can estimate the degree of play experience of the first user's game. For this reason, for example, when identification information of a plurality of first users is output, the second user can easily select a desired first user. For this reason, the usability of the game is improved for the second user.

  Moreover, in embodiment mentioned above, if the server control part 13 acquired the 2nd request | requirement from the 2nd user's 2nd terminal device 20b, the structure which correct | amends the information regarding the said 2nd user was demonstrated. However, when the server control unit 13 acquires the second request, the server control unit 13 may be configured to correct the information regarding the second user only when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  For example, when the server control unit 13 obtains the second request from the second terminal device 20b of the second user, at least a part of the information related to the second user in the predetermined period is transmitted to the first terminal device 20a of the first user. It may be displayed. The predetermined period may be arbitrarily determined. For example, the server control unit 13 may display the history data of the second user in the predetermined period on the first terminal device 20a. The terminal control unit 25a of the first terminal device 20a may transmit a correction request for correcting information related to the second user to the server device 10 in response to, for example, a user operation. And the server control part 13 will produce | generate correction data, if the correction request | requirement is acquired from the 1st terminal device 20a, and correct | amends the information regarding the said 2nd user.

  With reference to FIG. 5, the example of the 2nd operation | movement of the server apparatus 10 which performs said process is demonstrated. The second operation may be executed in place of the first operation described above.

  Steps S200 to S203: The server control unit 13 executes the same processes as those in steps S100 to S103 described above.

  Step S204: When the server control unit 13 obtains the second request from the second terminal device 20b of the second user in Step S203, the server control unit 13 displays at least a part of the information related to the second user in the predetermined period on the first terminal device 20a. Let

  Step S205: The server control unit 13 acquires a correction request from the first terminal device 20a.

  Steps S206 to S209: When the server control unit 13 obtains a correction request at Step S205, the server control unit 13 executes the same processing as Steps S104 to S107 described above.

  According to such a configuration, the first user can select whether or not to correct the information related to the second user after confirming the information related to the second user displayed on the first terminal device 20a. For this reason, as described below, the first user can select a desired second user as a correction target, so that the usability of the game is improved for the first user.

  Conventionally, for example, in a user who plays a multiplayer game part in which a plurality of users play or cooperate in a game, another user who has the same length of game play experience, for example, a friend or guild member in the game There is a request to collect as friends. However, in games run for a relatively long period of time, users with relatively long game experience often belong to the same guild, and the users have the same experience as themselves. It was not always easy to gather new friends.

  On the other hand, according to the embodiment of the present invention, information related to the second user is corrected based on information related to the first user. For this reason, for example, even when there is a difference in game play experience between the first user and the second user, for example, a difference in information about the user can be reduced between the first user and the second user. is there. Therefore, for example, for a first user who wants to gather friends in a game, the disadvantage of adding a second user with a relatively short play experience to the friends can be reduced.

  Here, for example, when the first user plays a game part for multiplayer together with the second user, when the first user starts a game application (for example, when the user logs in to the game), It may be required that two users are also running game applications. Therefore, for the first user, the aggressiveness of the second user with respect to the game is high (for example, in a predetermined period, the frequency of application activation is high, the amount of increase in the rank of the second user is large, the number of achieved game tasks is large, It is desirable that the number of message transmissions to other users is large, the number of times of response to reinforcement requests from other users is large, or the number of times of playing a game part for multiplayer is large. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the first user can select whether to correct the information related to the second user after confirming the information related to the second user displayed on the first terminal device 20a. is there. For this reason, for example, when the information regarding the second user is confirmed, for example, when the aggressiveness of the second user with respect to the game is low, the information regarding the second user may not be corrected. Such a configuration may be particularly useful when, for example, an upper limit is set for the number of second users who can correct information.

  Alternatively, when the server control unit 13 acquires the second request from the second terminal device 20b of the second user, whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied based on at least part of the information regarding the second user in the predetermined period. It is also possible to adopt a configuration for automatically determining the above. For example, the predetermined condition may include a condition that the aggressiveness of the second user with respect to the game is higher than a predetermined reference (for example, the frequency of starting the game application by the second user is higher than a predetermined threshold). According to such a configuration, as described above, the second user considered to be desirable for the first user is automatically set as the correction target in the same manner as the configuration in which at least a part of the information related to the second user in the predetermined period is presented to the first user. Therefore, the usability of the game is improved for the first user. Further, for example, the predetermined condition may include a condition that a predetermined event (for example, a beginner-oriented tutorial event) is ended.

  In the above-described embodiment, the server control unit 13 corrects the user parameter, the information related to the game medium, the history data, and the like included in the information related to the second user using the correction data based on the information related to the first user. The configuration has been described. Here, a configuration in which the first user or the second user selects which information or data included in the second user information is to be corrected is also possible.

  For example, a configuration example that allows the second user to select a correction target will be described. When acquiring the second request from the second terminal device 20b of the second user, the server control unit 13 causes the second terminal device 20b to display information regarding a plurality of correction data. The information regarding the correction data indicates items to be corrected among the information regarding the second user. For example, the server control unit 13 displays, on the second terminal device 20b, the six items of rank, upper limit number of ownership, deck capacity, information about game media, login history, and event history as information about a plurality of correction data. You may let them. A 2nd user selects the information regarding one or more arbitrary correction data among the information regarding the some correction data displayed on the 2nd terminal device 20b. An upper limit number of information related to selectable correction data may be set. The terminal control unit 25b of the second terminal device 20b transmits information regarding at least one correction data selected based on the user operation to the server device 10. And the server control part 13 will produce the selected at least 1 correction data, if the information regarding the selected at least 1 correction data is acquired. For example, when “rank” is selected as the information related to the correction data, correction data for correcting the rank of the second user is created.

  With reference to FIG. 6, the example of the 3rd operation | movement of the server apparatus 10 which performs said process is demonstrated. The third operation may be executed in place of the first operation described above.

  Steps S300 to S303: The server control unit 13 executes the same processes as those in steps S100 to S103 described above.

  Step S304: When the server control unit 13 obtains the second request from the second terminal device 20b of the second user in Step S303, the server control unit 13 displays information on the plurality of correction data on the second terminal device 20b.

  Step S305: The server control unit 13 acquires information regarding at least one correction data selected in the second terminal device 20b from the second terminal device 20b.

  Step S306: The server control unit 13 creates at least one correction data selected in step S305.

  Steps S307 to S309: The server control unit 13 executes the same processing as that of steps S105 to S107 described above.

  According to this configuration, the second user selects which information or data included in the second user information is to be corrected. For this reason, for example, the second user can strategically select a target to be corrected, and the strategy of the game is expanded. Moreover, since the 2nd user can select the object which receives correction | amendment strategically, the usability of a game improves for a 2nd user.

  In addition, for example, a configuration example that allows the first user to select a correction target will be described. When the server control unit 13 acquires the first request from the first terminal device 20a of the first user, the server control unit 13 causes the first terminal device 20a to display information related to a plurality of correction data. A 1st user selects the information regarding one or more arbitrary correction data among the information regarding the some correction data displayed on the 1st terminal device 20a. An upper limit number of information related to selectable correction data may be set. The terminal control unit 25a of the first terminal device 20a transmits information regarding at least one correction data selected based on the user operation to the server device 10. The server control unit 13 outputs identification information corresponding to the first user and information regarding the selected at least one correction data. For example, when “rank” is selected as the information related to the correction data, in addition to the identification information of the first user, for example, a message indicating that the correction target is “rank” may be output.

  With reference to FIG. 7, the example of the 4th operation | movement of the server apparatus 10 which performs said process is demonstrated. The fourth operation may be executed in place of the first operation described above.

  Steps S400 to S401: The server control unit 13 executes the same processing as that of steps S100 to S101 described above.

  Step S402: When the server control unit 13 obtains the first request from the first terminal device 20a of the first user in Step S301, the server control unit 13 displays information on the plurality of correction data on the first terminal device 20a.

  Step S403: The server control unit 13 acquires information about at least one correction data selected in the first terminal device 20a from the first terminal device 20a.

  Step S404: The server control unit 13 outputs identification information corresponding to the first user and information regarding at least one correction data selected in step S403.

  Steps S405 to S409: The server control unit 13 executes the same processing as that of steps S103 to S107 described above.

  According to such a configuration, the first user selects which information or data included in the second user information is to be corrected. For this reason, for example, the first user can strategically select a target to be corrected, and the strategy of the game is expanded. Moreover, since the 1st user can select the object which receives correction | amendment strategically, the usability of a game improves for the 1st user.

  In the above-described embodiment, at least a part of the screen displayed on the terminal device 20 is a web display that is displayed on the terminal device 20 based on data created by the server device 10, and at least a part of the screen is displayed on the terminal. A native display that is displayed by a native application installed in the device 20 may be used. As described above, the game according to the above-described embodiment may be a hybrid game in which each of the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 takes part of the processing.

Moreover, in order to function as the server apparatus 10 or the terminal apparatus 20 according to the above-described embodiment, an information processing apparatus such as a computer or a mobile phone can be suitably used. Such an information processing device stores a program describing processing contents for realizing each function of the server device 10 or the terminal device 20 according to the embodiment in a storage unit of the information processing device, and the CPU of the information processing device performs the processing.
