Further, when points concerned satisfy a predetermined condition regarding content identified based on a user's selection from a second content group, the content is granted to a user, where a predetermined number of points are subtracted from the points. Further, a first period for permitting a lottery regarding the first content group is set and a second period for permitting granting of content in the second content group is set. The second content group includes partial content included in the first content group.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 18

Description

  The present invention relates to information processing for providing a user with content used in a predetermined application.

  BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a system that provides a lottery game of lottery target content by consuming virtual currency or the like owned by a user has been known (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2017-221340 A

  In the system as described above, when the content to be drawn is given to the user based on the lottery, there is a possibility that the user may not be able to obtain the desired content depending on the result of the lottery, and the user is motivated to play the application. There was a risk of lowering.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an information processing system, an information processing method, an information processing program, and an information processing system capable of improving a user's motivation for an application in an information processing system for providing a user with content used in a predetermined application. It is to provide an information processing device.

  In order to achieve the above object, for example, the following configuration examples are given.

  An example of a configuration example is an information processing system that stores points associated with a user in a predetermined storage unit (a memory 122 described below) and provides the user with content used in a predetermined application. An information processing system including an assigning unit, a first point updating unit, a second assigning unit, and a second point updating unit. The first assigning unit assigns, to the user, a content selected by lottery from a certain first content group among the plurality of first content groups. The first point updating means adds a predetermined number of points to the points stored in the storage unit when the first giving means gives the content to the user. The second assigning unit specifies at least one content from a predetermined second content group among the plurality of second content groups based on a user's selection, and the point stored in the storage unit is specified. When a predetermined condition regarding the content is satisfied, the specified content is provided to the user. The second point updating means subtracts a predetermined number of points from the points stored by the storage unit when giving the content specified by the second giving means to the user. Further, a first period in which the lottery performed by the first providing unit is possible is set for each first content group, and a second period in which the content provided by the second providing unit can be provided for each second content group. Two periods are set. The at least one second content group includes at least a part of the content included in the at least one first content group. Then, the second point updating unit does not perform the subtraction for the points stored in the storage unit when at least one of the plurality of first periods ends.

  According to the above configuration example, even when the content desired by the user cannot be obtained by lottery, an opportunity to reliably obtain the content can be provided, and the motivation of the user for the application can be improved.

  As another configuration example, the second point updating means may not perform the subtraction for the points stored in the storage unit when the first period ends.

  As another configuration example, the second assigning unit specifies, from the second content group, at least one content among a plurality of content items each having a different predetermined condition, and stores the content in the storage unit. If the specified point satisfies a predetermined condition corresponding to the specified content, the specified content may be given to the user.

  As still another configuration example, the second assigning unit, when at least one content is specified by the user from among a plurality of contents to which predetermined conditions different depending on the rarity of the content are associated, When the points stored in the storage unit satisfy a predetermined condition corresponding to the specified content, the specified content may be given to the user.

  According to the above configuration example, predetermined conditions such as the required number of points can be made different for each content. For example, the required number of points can be varied according to the rarity of the content. As a result, it is possible to realize provision according to the content desired by the user.

  As another configuration example, the second point updating unit may subtract points corresponding to numerical values set as predetermined conditions corresponding to the specified content from the points stored in the storage unit. .

  As still another configuration example, the first period corresponding to at least one first content group and the second period corresponding to at least one second content group may be at least partially set to overlap. Good.

  As still another configuration example, a first period corresponding to at least one first content group and a second period corresponding to at least one second content group are set so that their start and end are the same. Is also good.

  According to the above configuration example, it is possible to provide an opportunity to reliably obtain the content targeted for the lottery in the lottery during the period in which the lottery is being held, and it is possible to enhance the convenience for the user.

  As still another configuration example, the second providing unit is configured to set the second content corresponding to a second period different from the second period, which is set after the beginning of the second period corresponding to at least one second content group. From the group, the specified content may be provided to the user.

  According to the above configuration example, for example, even in a case where the first lottery held in the first period and the second lottery held in the second period having a different start from the first period coexist. Also, it is possible to provide an opportunity to use the points to obtain the lottery target of the second lottery.

  As another configuration example, the content of at least one second content group may be content common to at least one first content group.

  According to the above configuration example, it is possible to provide the user with an opportunity to reliably obtain the lottery target in the first assigning unit, and it is possible to improve the motivation of the user.

  As another configuration example, the content of at least one second content group is a first content group corresponding to a first period in which at least a part of the second period corresponds to the second period corresponding to the second content group. The content may be common.

  As still another configuration example, the content of at least one second content group includes a first content group corresponding to a first period in which the same start and end are set as the second period corresponding to the second content group. The content may be common.

  According to the above configuration example, it is possible to provide the user with an opportunity to reliably obtain the lottery target during the lottery period of the lottery target in the first granting unit, thereby improving the user's convenience.

  As another configuration example, the first assigning unit assigns one content selected by lottery from the first content group to the user, and two or more content selected by lottery from the first content group. The second lottery to be given to the user is presented so as to be selectable by the user, and the first point updating means stores the content when the first giving means gives the content to the user based on the first lottery. When the points stored in the storage unit are added by the first method and the content is given to the user based on the second lottery, the number of the points stored in the storage unit is increased more than in the first method. You may make it add by the 2nd method of adding points.

  According to the above configuration example, depending on the lottery method, more points are added, so that the convenience of the user can be improved.

  As another configuration example, the first point updating means may add the predetermined number of points according to the number of lotteries.

  As another configuration example, the storage unit stores a pre-conversion point and a replacement point associated with the user, and the first point updating unit, when providing the content to the user, performs a first predetermined number of conversions. The previous points may be added. Further, the information processing system may include a conversion unit that converts the second predetermined number of pre-conversion points into exchange points when the pre-conversion points accumulate to the second predetermined number, and stores the converted points. Then, the second point updating means may deduct the exchange points when giving the specified content to the user.

  As another configuration example, the first granting means selects a lottery based on the consumption of the first virtual currency and / or the second virtual currency whose at least a part of the obtaining means is different from the first virtual currency. The first point updating means performs point addition when the lottery is performed based on the consumption of the first virtual currency, and performs the addition when the lottery is performed based on the consumption of the second virtual currency. You may make it restrict.

  According to the above configuration example, since the points are updated only when the first virtual currency is used, it is possible to provide motivation of the user to use the first virtual currency.

As another configuration example,
The information processing system includes at least one of the first image corresponding to the second content group and at least one of the content included in the second content group that indicates a rare content whose probability of being drawn is set lower than other content. The display device may further include a display unit that displays the two images so as to be distinguishable from the first image, and a selection unit that selects the first image or the second image displayed by the display unit based on a user operation. Then, when the first image is selected, the display unit further displays a list of contents included in the second content group. When the second image is selected, the display unit displays the list of contents. The content corresponding to the image may be provided to the user.

  According to the above configuration example, for example, it is possible to present the content recommended to be acquired so that the user can easily grasp the content, and it is possible to improve the user's convenience in acquiring the content.

  As another configuration example, the information processing system may further include a display unit that displays each of the contents included in the second content group so that the user can visually recognize the contents. Then, the display means displays each of the contents in such a manner that the number of possessions for each of the contents included in the second content group can be determined, and the specifying means comprises at least one of the contents displayed by the display means. May be specified based on a user operation.

  According to the above configuration example, it is possible to easily grasp the number of each content possessed by the user at that time, and it is possible to improve user convenience.

  According to the present embodiment, even when the content desired by the user cannot be obtained by the lottery, an opportunity to reliably obtain the content can be provided, and the motivation of the user can be improved.

[Hardware configuration of information processing terminal]
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of an information processing terminal 102 on which information processing according to the present embodiment is executed. Here, in the present embodiment, as the information processing terminal 102, for example, a smart device such as a smartphone or a tablet, a stationary game device, a portable game device, a personal computer, and the like are assumed. In the description of the present embodiment, an information processing terminal (for example, a smartphone) including a display screen and a touch panel in an integrated manner will be described as an example. Therefore, the input operation is mainly an input to the touch panel. However, in another embodiment, the input operation may be performed by using a physical controller wirelessly or wiredly connected to the information processing terminal, or, for example, an input device configured to be integrated with the information processing terminal. May be used. In another embodiment, the information processing terminal 102 may be an information processing system including a plurality of information processing apparatuses. Then, the processing described below may be shared and executed by the plurality of information processing apparatuses.

In other embodiments, various pointing devices, various push-down buttons, analog sticks, and the like may be used. The display unit 124 is typically a liquid crystal display device.

[Overview of information processing (game processing) according to the present embodiment]
Next, an outline of information processing performed in the present embodiment will be described. First, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that an application process in which predetermined content can be obtained by the process of “lottery”. This lottery is called, for example, “gacha” or the like. More specifically, processing of a game application (hereinafter, referred to as game processing) is assumed as an example of the application. In addition, as an example of content that can be obtained by lottery, “in-game content” that can be used in a game is assumed.

  For example, the “in-game content” is assumed to be as follows. For example, items such as characters and units to be operated by the user in the game, items such as weapons and armor, and abilities such as magic and skills. Further, there are various items such as furniture, interiors, miscellaneous goods, and clothing items for decorating the user character that can be arranged in the virtual game space (for example, the user's "home" in the game). In addition, for example, there are various images that can be used as a main menu, a top page, a background of a home screen, and the like in a game.

  Here, the game processing assumed in the present embodiment will be described more specifically. The game according to the present embodiment is a game that virtually lives as a player character in a virtual game world where various virtual characters (resident characters) live. For example, you can collect various items to build your own home or maintain your garden. In addition, various items can be obtained by performing hunting, fishing, and the like in the game, and talking with a resident character.

  In the following description, as an example of the in-game content, “furniture” that can be placed in the own house will be described as an example. That is, in the process according to the present embodiment, the user can obtain predetermined furniture by the lottery process.

  The method of obtaining (lottery) the furniture will be described more specifically. In the present embodiment, the user can obtain furniture by lottery. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the lottery is executed by the user purchasing a “cookie” in the game. At this time, for example, an effect of eating a cookie purchased by the user character may be performed. As a result, it is possible to obtain one piece of predetermined furniture that has been won by the lottery.

  In addition, "rareness" is set for each furniture, and the winning probability is different for each rareness. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that five levels of rarity, “rare level 1” to “rare level 5”, are set. A thing with a higher numerical value has a higher rarity. Then, for example, the winning probability of furniture having a “rare degree 5” is set to be the lowest.

  In the game according to the present embodiment, the user can purchase the “cookie” at a “shop” in the game. Hereinafter, the shop is referred to as a “cookie shop”. Also, in this game, two types of purchasing methods are prepared as means for purchasing cookies at the cookie shop. Specifically, a purchasing method using a virtual currency called "bell" in the game and a purchasing method using a virtual currency called "ticket" in the game, which is a virtual currency different from the bell, are prepared. ing.

  Regarding the acquisition of "cookies", in other embodiments, not only purchase in the shop, but also achieving predetermined conditions in the game, such as clear rewards for events, clear rewards for missions and scenarios, login bonuses, etc. May be used in combination with a configuration in which a "cookie" is given to the user in accordance with.

  Here, the difference between the above two types of virtual currency in the present embodiment will be described. First, "Bell" is one whose acquisition method is closed in the game world. For example, “bell” can be obtained by selling the “furniture”. It can also be obtained by selling the items obtained by fishing and hunting. In addition, it can be obtained as a so-called “quest” reward. In addition, since a "bell" can be obtained by selling furniture, it is also possible to obtain a "bell" as a fund for purchasing other furniture by selling unnecessary furniture. On the other hand, the “ticket” is a virtual currency that can be obtained by so-called payment processing using so-called real-world currency, that is, so-called billing. That is, the virtual currency is given to the user according to the billing amount. For example, a "ticket" can be obtained in the form of a quest reward in addition to the above-described charging, but unlike a "bell", it is obtained by selling an in-game item such as furniture or the like. It is not possible.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of the "cookie shop" screen displayed when the "cookie" is purchased. This screen is displayed, for example, when the user performs a tap operation on a wagon object indicating a shop from a screen in a “square” area provided in the game. In FIG. 2, on the cookie shop screen, a first cookie presenting area 201 representing a shelf on which three “cookies” are displayed and a second cookie presenting area 201 representing a shelf on which one “cookie” is displayed. 2 and a cookie presenting area 202 are displayed. These "cookies" are also presentation elements for presenting a lottery target to the user. A point card image 219 is displayed in the upper left part of the screen. In addition, the number of possessed tickets 203 and the number of possessed bells 204 are shown on the right side (upper right portion of the screen) of the point card image 219, and at the lower part of the screen, there are "" for closing the shop screen. A "Close" button 209 is also shown.

  In the first cookie presentation area 201, three cookie images 205A to 205C are displayed so as to be displayed on a shelf. The price is also shown at the bottom of each cookie image. The user can purchase the “cookie” using the “bell” by performing an operation of selecting one of the cookie images 205A to 205C. In the present embodiment, as an example of this selection operation, an operation of “tapping” a cookie image is assumed. FIG. 3 is an example of a purchase confirmation screen displayed when any one of the cookies in the first cookie presentation area 201 is tapped. In FIG. 3, a bell purchase dialog 211 for inquiring whether or not to purchase the “cookie” by consuming the “bell” for the price set for the “cookie” selected by tapping is displayed. The user can purchase the “cookie” by consuming a predetermined number of “bells” by tapping the “buy” button. The user can cancel the purchase and return to the previous screen by tapping the “quit” button.

  Here, the cookie presented in the first cookie presentation area 201 can be purchased at the "bell", and will be referred to as "bell cookie" in the following description. On the other hand, a cookie presented in the second cookie presentation area 202 described below is referred to as a “ticket cookie” in view of the fact that it can be purchased with a “ticket” described later.

  Next, the second cookie presentation area 202 will be described. In the second cookie presenting area 202, one ticket cookie image 206 displayed on the shelf is displayed. Below the ticket cookie image 206, the price of the ticket cookie is also shown. In addition, a lottery information image 207 that presents information on the lottery content of the ticket cookie is displayed above the ticket cookie image 206. The lottery information image 207 includes a remaining days number 213, a lottery title 214, and a detail button 215. In the example of FIG. 2, a lottery by a ticket cookie of the lottery title 214 “Ice Party of XX” is presented (hereinafter, a lottery by the ticket cookie is referred to as a ticket use lottery). Further, on both sides of the lottery information image 207, switching buttons 208L and 208R are shown.

  Then, by tapping the ticket cookie image 206, the user can purchase the ticket cookie using the “ticket”. FIG. 4 shows an example of a purchase confirmation screen displayed when the ticket cookie image 206 is tapped. In FIG. 4, a ticket purchase dialog 212 is displayed in which a “ticket” corresponding to the price set for the ticket cookie selected by tapping is consumed and the purchase of the ticket cookie is inquired. The user can purchase the ticket cookie by consuming a predetermined number of “tickets” by tapping the “buy” button. The user can cancel the purchase and return to the previous screen by tapping the “quit” button.

  Here, in the present embodiment, a plurality of types of ticket cookies are provided to the user. By tapping the switch button 208L or 208R, the user can switch the ticket cookie image 206 and the lottery information image 207 presented in the second cookie presentation area 202 by scrolling in the left and right direction. That is, by tapping the switch button 208L or 208R, a plurality of prepared “ticket use lotteries” can be switched. As an example, FIG. 5 shows an example of an image when the user taps the switching button 208R to switch the display content of the second cookie presentation area 202. FIG. 5 shows that a ticket use lottery of the lottery title 214 “Summer Beach of $” is presented.

  In the present embodiment, a “holding period” is set for each ticket use lottery. The number of remaining days 213 indicates the remaining period of the holding period of the ticket use lottery corresponding to the ticket cookie image 206 presented in the second cookie presentation area 202.

  The holding period of each ticket use lottery may be partially overlapped or may be completely different. Note that the ticket use lottery once the holding period has ended may be held again, for example, as “reprint lottery”. In the present embodiment, a case where four types of ticket use lottery are held will be described as an example. For example, it is assumed that four types of lotteries A to D are used in a holding schedule as shown in FIG. A description will be given by taking the time point T1 in this drawing as an example.

  By the way, in FIG. 5, a box image 217 is displayed in the second cookie presenting area 202 in addition to the ticket cookie image 206. This indicates that a plurality of ticket cookies can be purchased collectively, and in this example, five ticket cookies can be purchased collectively (the box contains five ticket cookies. Is shown). That is, when the user purchases the ticket cookie image 206, the user can execute the ticket use lottery only once. On the other hand, when the box image 217 is purchased, the ticket use lottery can be executed for five consecutive times. Whether or not to provide the purchase method using the box image 217 is set in advance for each ticket use lottery. Therefore, for example, in the ticket use lottery A, the purchase method using the box image 217 is not provided, and only the ticket cookie can be purchased separately. In the ticket use lottery B, the purchase using the box image 217 may be possible. In the following description, purchasing one ticket cookie is referred to as “single item purchase”, and a lottery using the ticket cookie purchased as a single item is referred to as “single lottery”. The purchase based on the box image 217 is referred to as “box purchase”, and the lottery based on the purchase is referred to as “five-lot lottery”.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a case where furniture of “rare degree 3” to “rare degree 5” can be obtained as furniture that can be obtained by the ticket use lottery will be described as an example. In other words, a case where furniture of “rare level 1” and “rare level 2” are not included as targets of the ticket use lottery will be described as an example. Further, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that there is no overlapping content between each ticket use lottery. For example, it is assumed that there is no overlapping content between the content available in the ticket use lottery A and the content available in the ticket use lottery B. However, in other embodiments, some contents may be duplicated among a plurality of ticket use lotteries. Furniture of "rare level 1" and "rare level 2" can be obtained by lottery using the bell cookie.

  Next, the “point card” function according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the point card image 219. In the present embodiment, a point card function is provided in which points can be exchanged with favorite furniture from among furniture to be selected in the lottery of the ticket use lottery. Specifically, in the present embodiment, when a ticket cookie is purchased and a lottery is performed using the ticket cookie, a "exchange point" is given to the user. In the case of the above "single lottery", one point is given, and in the case of "five consecutive lottery", six points are given. In the case of “five-lot drawing”, the number of lotteries is five, but one point is given as an “additional bonus” in addition to five points corresponding to the number of lotteries. Thereby, the motivation of the user to perform the “box purchase” is provided.

  Then, when the exchange points given by the lottery are accumulated by 10 points, they are converted into one “exchange point card”. In the present embodiment, the exchange with the furniture is performed in units of the exchange point card. The number of exchange point cards required for exchange is set in advance for each piece of furniture according to the rarity. For example, one is set for furniture of "rare degree 3", five is set for furniture of "rare degree 4", and 10 is set for furniture of "rare degree 5".

  Hereinafter, an example of a furniture exchange operation and a game screen using the point card function will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 12.

  When the user taps the point card image 219 on the screen of FIG. 2, a dialog box 231 (hereinafter, a transition confirmation dialog) for confirming the transition to the point exchange screen is displayed as shown in FIG. You. In the transition confirmation dialog 231, the number of replacement point cards 232 owned by the user at that time is displayed at the top. Below that, the currently accumulated points (hereinafter, not exchanged points) before being converted into the exchange point card are displayed as an image 233 imitating the point card. In the example of FIG. 7, the image 233 imitating the point card includes ten circles, and the assigned unexchanged points are indicated by black circles. That is, the number of black circles is the number of unexchanged points currently stored, and by storing 10 of these points, the points are converted into one exchangeable point card.

  In addition, in the transition confirmation dialog 231 of FIG. 7, a “return” button 234 and a “go to point exchange screen” button 235 are also displayed below. By tapping the “return” button 234, the user can delete the transition confirmation dialog 231 and return to the previous screen. Also, by tapping the “go to point exchange screen” button 235, it is possible to transit to the point exchange top screen described below.

  FIG. 8 is an example of the top screen of the point exchange. On the screen, the above-mentioned point card image 219, the number of possessed tickets 203, and the number of possessed bells 204 are displayed at the top. If the point card image 219 is tapped on this screen, the number of exchange point cards possessed at that time and the current number of points before exchange are displayed in a dialog box format.

  In addition, the top screen includes an exchange target presentation area 241 that allows screen scrolling in the vertical direction. Also, a “return” button 242 is displayed below the exchange target presentation area 241.

  In the exchange target presentation area 241, an attention item column 243 is arranged at the top, and a plurality of exchange lottery banners 244 are arranged below the notice item column 243. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that five banners are prepared as the exchange target lottery banners 244. In the state of FIG. 8, only two of the exchange target lottery banners 244 and a part of the third exchange target lottery banner 244 are displayed on the screen. Then, when the user performs a screen scroll operation on the exchange target presentation area 241, an exchange target lottery banner 244 not shown in FIG. 8 can be displayed.

  In the present embodiment, as the exchange target lottery banner 244, a banner corresponding to the ticket use lottery currently being held at that time is set. In the present example, exchange target lottery banners 244 corresponding to four types of lotteries A to D are displayed. This indicates that furniture available in the ticket use lottery A to D held at that time is a target of the point exchange. In other words, the ticket cookie is visualized to present the concept of “content group for ticket use lottery” to the user, whereas the exchange target lottery banner 244 is “ It can be said that the concept is a visualization of the concept of “a content group in which the use lottery and the content (available furniture) are the same”. Further, in this example, the fifth exchange target lottery banner 244 is not a lottery that can be purchased in the cookie shop (that is, not a lottery currently being held), but is held in the past as “reprint”. It is assumed that an exchange target lottery banner 244 corresponding to the predetermined ticket use lottery is also set. In other words, in the present embodiment, four types of lotteries are presented as purchase targets in the cookie shop, but in the exchange screen, a total of five types of tickets, four types currently being held and one type held in the past, are displayed. The lottery target for the use lottery is presented as a point exchange target.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the exchangeable period is basically the same as the holding period of the ticket use lottery corresponding to each exchange target lottery banner 244. For example, for the exchange target lottery banner 244 corresponding to the ticket use lottery A, the exchangeable period is the same as the holding period of the ticket use lottery A. In addition, as for the exchange time of the exchange target lottery banner 244 for the “reprint”, an exchangeable period is separately set as a “reprint period”.

  Next, a specific operation example of replacement will be described. In FIG. 8, for example, when the user taps the first exchange target lottery banner 244, specifically, the exchange target lottery banner 244 titled "Ice Party of XX", an exchange detail screen as shown in FIG. Is presented. The exchange detail screen includes a list presenting area 251 for presenting a list of furniture to be selected in the lottery A for ticket use. The list presenting area 251 can also be scrolled up and down, and by performing the scrolling operation, furniture not displayed in FIG. 9 can be displayed. Note that the list presentation area 251 includes a furniture image 252 (in FIG. 9, a simplified graphic is shown, but in an actual game image, an image showing the appearance of the furniture is displayed here), a furniture name 253, the number of necessary replacement tickets 254, and the current number 255 of the furniture are displayed as one set for each furniture.

  In addition, a “return” button 256 and an exchange button 257 are displayed below the list presenting area 251. Note that the exchange button 257 is still invalidated at this point, and FIG. 9 shows that the button is in an invalidated state by hatching.

  In the state of FIG. 9, for example, when the user taps “furniture A” displayed at the upper left, a selection mark 258 is added to the image 252 of “furniture A” as shown in FIG. Further, the exchange button 257 is activated, the display mode is changed, and the operation button 257 becomes operable. In this state, when the user taps the exchange button 257, an exchange confirmation dialog 261 as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed. The exchange confirmation dialog 261 includes a display indicating a change in the number of exchange point cards before and after the exchange, a return button, and an OK button. Then, when the user taps the OK button, the number of exchange point cards corresponding to the number required for exchange is subtracted, and furniture A is given to the user.

  When the exchange button 257 is tapped in a state where the number of exchange point cards required for exchange is not enough, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, it is notified that the number of exchange point cards required for exchange is insufficient. A dialogue 271 indicating insufficient number of copies is displayed.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the exchange point card and the pre-exchange point are not limited with respect to a usable period such as an expiration date or a use expiration date. In other words, when the holding period of a certain ticket use lottery ends, this end does not cause the pre-exchange points and exchange point cards acquired by the ticket use lottery to be subtracted or lost. Of course, even if each holding period of a plurality of ticket use lotteries with different holding periods ends, the pre-exchange point and exchange point card will not be subtracted or lost as a trigger. Therefore, the user can save the exchange point card without being aware of the expiration date. In addition, the user can obtain furniture using the replacement point card at a desired timing. In particular, by presenting a lottery held in the past as an exchange target described above as an exchange target in the form of, for example, "reprint", the user can obtain a lottery held in the past and obtain it during the holding period. It can also provide an opportunity to ensure that missing furniture can be obtained by replacement.

  By the way, in the top screen of FIG. 8, a noticeable item column 243 is arranged in the exchange target presentation area 241. The attention item column 243 will be described. The attention item column 243 introduces three pieces of furniture picked up from all pieces of furniture to be replaced at that time. In the present embodiment, furniture having a higher rarity is selected as the furniture to be picked up. For example, three items are picked up from furniture with “rare degree 5”, and the information is displayed in the item of interest column 243. The attention item column 243 is arranged at the top of the exchange target presentation area 241 and is easily noticeable by the user. Therefore, the attention item column 243 particularly emphasizes the three furniture items having the “rare degree 5”. Can be said to be presented to the user. In addition, as for this pickup method, for example, the furniture selected by the management side in advance may be set in the attention item column, or, for example, three furnitures selected at random from “rare degree 5” may be selected. It may be set in the attention item column.

  In addition, the user taps the furniture image displayed in the item of interest column 243 to display an exchange detail screen for a lottery associated with the furniture (an exchange target lottery banner 244 whose furniture is to be exchanged). Can be done. As a result, if the desired furniture is displayed in the item of interest column 243, the user can display the exchange details screen without tapping the exchange target lottery banner 244 (with scroll operation). In other words, it can be said that the attention item column 243 also serves as a shortcut to the exchange details screen.

  In the present embodiment, some furniture items are displayed in the noted item column 243 as described above, so that these furniture items are emphasized and presented to the user. May be changed and displayed. For example, a predetermined effect may be added to the image of the furniture, or the image may be displayed in a larger size. Alternatively, the user may be noticed by performing a pop-up display including these furniture images.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the user can acquire exchange points by executing the ticket use lottery. By accumulating a predetermined number of the exchange points, it is possible to exchange desired contents from the contents subject to the ticket use lottery. In addition, since there is no limitation on the expiration date of points, it is possible to provide an opportunity for a user to reliably obtain desired content. This makes it possible to maintain or improve the motivation of the user.

[Details of game processing of this embodiment]
Next, the game processing in the present embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.

[About usage data]
First, various data used in the game processing will be described. FIG. 13 is a memory map showing an example of various data stored in the memory 122 of the information processing terminal 102. The memory 122 of the information processing terminal 102 stores a game program 501, a furniture database 502, a cookie database 503, lottery banner data 504 for exchange, user data 505, image data 512, operation data 513, a processing mode 514, and the like. .

  The game program 501 is a program for executing a game process according to the present embodiment.

  The furniture database 502 is data defined for the “furniture” described above. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a data configuration of the furniture database 502. The furniture database 502 includes a furniture ID 521, furniture content data 522, and a rarity 523. The furniture ID 521 is an identifier for uniquely identifying the furniture. The furniture content data 522 is data defining specific contents of the furniture. For example, it includes information defining the appearance image of the furniture and the type of the furniture (desk, chair, etc.). The rarity 523 is data indicating the rarity of the furniture.

  Returning to FIG. 13, the cookie database 503 is data defined for each of the bell cookie and the ticket cookie. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data structure of the cookie database 503. 7, the cookie database 503 is a database in a table format having items of a cookie ID 531, a holding period 532, a title 533, detailed information 534, and lottery target data 535.

  The cookie ID 531 is an ID for uniquely identifying each of the above-described bell cookie and ticket cookie. That is, it is an ID for uniquely specifying each of the above-mentioned lotteries (each of a plurality of ticket use lotteries and a lottery by a bell cookie). The holding period 532 is data that defines the holding period of the lottery for the cookie. The title 533 is data indicating the name of the lottery relating to the cookie (for example, the above-mentioned “XX ice party”). The detailed information 534 is data that defines various kinds of information related to the lottery for the cookie, for example, to be presented to the user when the detailed button 215 in FIG. 2 is tapped. The lottery target data 535 is data defining the lottery target furniture in the cookie. Specifically, the lottery target data 535 is data in a table format including a furniture ID 536 and an appearance rate 537. The furniture ID 536 is an ID for identifying and specifying furniture to be drawn in the “cookie”, and corresponds to the furniture ID 521 of the furniture database 502. The appearance rate 537 is data defining the appearance rate of the furniture.

  Although not shown, the cookie database 503 stores data indicating the price of each cookie, data indicating an image of each “cookie”, and the like as appropriate.

  Returning to FIG. 13, the exchange target lottery banner data 504 is data defined for the exchange target lottery banner 244 described above. FIG. 16 is an example of the data configuration of the exchange target lottery banner data 504. 16, the exchange target lottery banner data 504 is data in a table format having items of an exchange target lottery banner ID 541, an exchange period 542, detailed information 543, and exchange target data 544. The exchange target lottery banner ID 541 is an ID for uniquely identifying the exchange target lottery banner 244. The exchange period 542 is data that defines the exchangeable period of the exchange target according to the exchange target lottery banner 244. In the present embodiment, the exchange target of the exchange target lottery banner 244 is associated with any of the above-mentioned ticket use lotteries, and the exchange period is set to the same period as the holding period of the associated ticket use lottery. Shall be performed. The detailed information 543 is detailed information related to the exchange of the exchange target lottery banner 244, and includes, for example, a name, image data of the exchange target lottery banner 244, and the like. The exchange target data 544 is data defining the exchange target furniture according to the exchange target lottery banner 244. As described above, in the present embodiment, the exchange target of the exchange target lottery banner 244 is associated with any one of the above-described ticket use lotteries. Therefore, as the exchange target data 544, for example, the cookie ID 531 corresponding to any one of the ticket use lotteries described above is set. As a result, the lottery target can be specified based on the cookie ID 531 and the lottery target can be treated as an exchange target. The exchange target data 544 also defines the number of exchange point cards required to exchange each piece of furniture. In another embodiment, the replacement target data 544 may be configured to directly define the furniture ID of the furniture to be replaced and the required number of replacement point cards. Further, in still another embodiment, a required number of exchange point cards is defined in advance according to the degree of rarity of furniture (for example, the required number of furniture of rarity 3 is uniformly defined as 1). ), The exchange target data 544 may not have any particular structure.

  Returning to FIG. 13, the user data 505 is information on the user playing the game. The user data 505 includes possession bell number data 506, possession ticket number data 507, possession point data 508, possession furniture data 511, and the like. In addition, various information for specifying a user, such as a user ID and a user name, is also included.

  The possession bell number data 506 is data indicating the number of the above-mentioned “bells” possessed by the user. The possessed ticket number data 507 is data indicating the number of “tickets” possessed by the user.

  The possessed point data 508 is data in which the exchange points are stored in association with the user. The possessed point data 508 includes the number of exchange point cards 509 indicating the current number of exchange point cards, and the number of unexchanged points 510 indicating the current number of unexchanged points.

  The possessed furniture data 511 is data indicating the type of furniture possessed by the user and the number of possessed furniture. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the data is table data having items of furniture ID 551 and possession number 552.

  Returning to FIG. 13, the image data 512 is an image of various cookies, image data of a shop screen, and the like. The operation data 513 is data for indicating the content of an operation performed on the operation unit 123 by the user.

  The processing mode 514 is a state where the current progress of the game is a state where the screen of the cookie shop is displayed, a state where the point exchange screen is displayed, or a state where the other screen is displayed. Is data for determining whether or not the In the present embodiment, if "cookie shop" is set, it indicates that the cookie shop is being displayed. If the "point exchange screen" is set, it indicates that the point exchange screen is being displayed. If neither of them is set, it is assumed that nothing is set in the processing mode.

  In addition, the memory 122 appropriately stores various work data used in the present process.

[Details of Processing Executed by Processor 121]
Next, details of the game processing executed by the processor 121 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. Here, the processing relating to the “cookie shop” for purchasing a ticket cookie and the processing relating to point exchange will be mainly described, and description of other game processing will be omitted. In FIG. 18, the loop of the processing according to steps S2 to S11 is repeatedly executed for each frame (for example, every 1/60 second).

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing details of the game processing in the present embodiment. When the present game is started, a preparation process for starting the game, such as initialization of various data, is appropriately performed, and then, in step S1, a process of displaying a “home screen” of the game is executed. In the present embodiment, for example, a screen in the “square” area is displayed as the home screen. Further, the user can display the cookie shop screen as shown in FIG. 2 by tapping the wagon object indicating the cookie shop on the screen in the “square” area.

  Next, in step S2, it is determined whether the processing mode 514 is "cookie shop". As a result of the determination, if the processing mode 514 is “cookie shop” (YES in step S2), a cookie shop process is executed in step S5. This processing will be described later.

  On the other hand, if the processing mode 514 is not “cookie shop” (NO in step S2), it is determined in step S3 whether the processing mode 514 is “point exchange screen”. If the result of this determination is that the processing mode 514 is “point exchange screen” (YES in step S3), point exchange screen processing is executed in step S4. The details of this processing will also be described later.

  On the other hand, if the processing mode 514 is not the “point exchange screen” (NO in step S3), the operation data 513 is acquired in step S6. Next, in step S7, it is determined whether or not the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is a transition instruction to a cookie shop. For example, it is determined whether or not a wagon object indicating a cookie shop has been tapped on the screen in the “square” area. If the result of the determination is not an instruction to transition to a cookie shop (NO in step S7), other game processing is executed based on the operation content indicated by the operation data 513. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S11 described below.

  On the other hand, if a transition instruction to the cookie shop has been issued (YES in step S7), “cookie shop” is set in the processing mode 514 in step S8. Subsequently, in step S9, a game image of the cookie shop as shown in FIG. 2 is generated. Specifically, the cookie database 503 is referred to, and various lotteries being held at that time are specified. Then, bell cookies, ticket cookies, and box objects corresponding to various lotteries being held are arranged. In this example, it is assumed that it is arranged on the shelf of the shop shown in FIG. In addition, a lottery information image 207 (an object corresponding to the lottery information) corresponding to the ticket cookie is also generated based on the cookie database 503, and is arranged at a predetermined position. In addition, various objects for generating a game image as shown in FIG. 2 are appropriately arranged in the virtual space, and a virtual camera captures an image thereof to generate a cookie shop game image.

  Next, in step S11, a process for drawing a game image in which the processing contents of steps S2 to S10 are reflected is executed. Thereafter, the process returns to step S2, and the process is repeated.

[Cookie shop processing]
Next, the details of the cookie shop process in step S5 will be described. FIGS. 19 and 20 are flowcharts showing details of the cookie shop process. In FIG. 19, first, in step S21, it is determined whether or not the bell purchase dialog 211 as shown in FIG. 3 is currently displayed. As a result of the determination, if the state is displayed (YES in step S21), a purchase process with a bell is executed in step S22. Details of this processing will be described later.

  On the other hand, if the bell purchase dialog 211 is not currently displayed (NO in step S21), it is determined in step S23 whether or not the ticket purchase dialog 212 as shown in FIG. 4 is currently displayed. You. If the result of the determination is that the display is being made (YES in step S23), a purchase process using a ticket is executed in step S24. Details of this processing will also be described later.

  On the other hand, if the ticket purchase dialog 212 is not displayed (NO in step S23), the operation data 513 is acquired in step S25. Next, in step S26, it is determined whether or not the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is a purchase instruction using a bell. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether any of the bell cookies has been tapped. In other words, it is determined whether any of the bell cookies has been selected by the user as a purchase target. As a result of the determination, if a purchase instruction using a bell is performed (YES in step S26), a bell purchase dialog 211 as shown in FIG. 3 is generated in step S27, and the screen shown in FIG. It is placed at an appropriate position in the virtual space as displayed.

  Next, in step S37, a game image is generated by capturing an image of the virtual space in which the contents of the processes in steps S21 to S36 are reflected with a virtual camera. Thereafter, the cookie shop process ends.

  On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S26 indicates that the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is not a purchase instruction using a bell (NO in step S26), then in step S28, the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 Is a purchase instruction using a ticket. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether any of the ticket cookies or the box image 217 has been tapped. In other words, it is determined whether or not any ticket cookie (ticket use lottery) has been selected by the user as a purchase target. If the result of this determination is that a purchase instruction using a ticket has been issued (YES in step S28), a ticket purchase dialog 212 as shown in FIG. 4 is generated in step S29, and the screen shown in FIG. It is placed at an appropriate position in the virtual space as displayed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S37.

  On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S28 is that the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is not a purchase instruction using a ticket (NO in step S28), then in step S30 in FIG. It is determined whether or not the operation content to be performed is a point exchange screen display instruction. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the point card image 219 has been tapped. If the result of the determination is that a display instruction for a point exchange screen has been issued (YES in step S30), a "point exchange screen" is set in the processing mode 514 in step S31. Further, in step S32, a transition confirmation dialog 231 as shown in FIG. 7 is generated and arranged at an appropriate position in the virtual space. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S37.

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S30, if the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is not a display instruction of the point exchange screen (NO in step S30), then, in step S33, the operation indicated by the operation data 513 It is determined whether or not the content is an instruction to end the cookie shop screen. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether the close button 209 has been tapped. If the result of this determination is that an end instruction has been issued (YES in step S33), a process for ending the cookie shop screen is appropriately executed in step S34. For example, various processes for returning to the above-mentioned “square” screen are executed. Further, in step S35, the contents of the processing mode 514 are cleared. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S37.

  On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S33 is that the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is not an end instruction (NO in step S33), other processing based on the operation content is appropriately executed in step S36. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S37.

[Purchase at Bell]
Next, the details of the bell purchase process in step S22 will be described. FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing details of the purchase processing at the bell. In FIG. 21, first, in step S51, operation data 513 is obtained. Next, in step S52, it is determined whether or not the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is an instruction to purchase a bell cookie. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether the “buy” button of the bell purchase dialog 211 has been tapped. If the result of this determination is that a purchase instruction has been issued (YES in step S52), then in step S53, the number of bells for the price of the bell cookie selected as the purchase target is subtracted from the possession bell number data 506. You. Next, in step S54, a lottery process for the bell cookie is executed. That is, a process of performing a lottery selection of furniture based on the lottery target data 535 corresponding to the bell cookie is executed. In subsequent step S55, the furniture that has been won as a result of the lottery is provided to the user. Specifically, if the furniture is newly acquired, the possession number 552 is set to “1” and the furniture ID 551 corresponding to the furniture is added to the possessed furniture data 511. In the case of furniture already possessed by one or more, 1 is added to the possession number 552.

  Next, in step S56, a process of deleting the bell purchase dialog 211 from the screen is executed. At this time, various settings for displaying the effect of winning the furniture over several frames may be made. After that, the purchase process at the bell ends.

  On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S52 is that the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is not an instruction to purchase a bell cookie, then in step S57, the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is an instruction to cancel the purchase. Is determined. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the “quit” button of the bell purchase dialog 211 has been tapped. If the result of the determination is that the purchase has been instructed (YES in step S57), the process proceeds to step S56. If it is not an instruction to cancel the purchase (NO in step S57), the purchase processing with the bell is ended (as a result, the bell purchase dialog 211 is kept displayed).

[Purchase by ticket]
Next, details of the ticket purchase processing in step S24 will be described. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing details of the purchase processing for the ticket. In FIG. 22, first, in step S61, operation data 513 is obtained. Next, in step S62, it is determined whether or not the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is an instruction to purchase a ticket cookie. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether the “buy” button in the ticket purchase dialog 212 has been tapped. If the result of the determination is that a purchase instruction has been issued (YES in step S62), then in step S63, the number of tickets corresponding to the price of the ticket cookie selected as the purchase target is subtracted from the possessed ticket number data 507. You.

  Next, in step S64, a process of giving exchange points according to the purchase content to the user is executed. In the present embodiment, one point is purchased in the case of purchase of a single item, and six points are exchanged in the case of box purchase. As a result, the exchange points are stored in the memory 122 in association with the user who purchased the ticket cookie.

  Next, in step S65, a process of converting an unexchanged point into an exchange point card is executed. For example, when the number of unexchanged points 510 is 10 or more, the process of subtracting 10 from the number of unexchanged points 510 and adding 1 to the number of exchange point cards 509 becomes less than 10. The process that repeats until is performed. That is, when ten points have not been exchanged, processing for storing one point card in the memory 122 in association with the user is executed.

  Next, in step S66, a lottery process (ticket use lottery) for the purchased ticket cookie is executed. That is, a process of performing a lottery selection of furniture based on the lottery target data 535 corresponding to the ticket cookie is executed. In subsequent step S67, the furniture that has been won as a result of the lottery is provided to the user. This process is the same as the process in step S55.

  If "box purchase" has been performed, "five-lot drawing" is performed, so that the processes in steps S66 and S67 are each repeated five times before proceeding to the next process.

  Next, in step S68, a process of deleting the ticket purchase dialog 212 from the screen is executed. After that, the purchase processing with the ticket ends.

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S62, if the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is not an instruction to purchase a ticket cookie, then in step S69, the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is It is determined whether it is an instruction. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the “quit” button of the ticket purchase dialog 212 has been tapped. If the result of the determination is that the purchase has been instructed (YES in step S69), the process proceeds to step S68. If it is not an instruction to cancel the purchase (NO in step S69), the purchase processing using the ticket is ended.

[Point exchange screen processing]
Next, details of the point exchange screen processing in step S4 in FIG. 18 will be described. 23 and 24 are flowcharts showing details of the point exchange screen processing. In FIG. 23, first, in step S81, it is determined whether or not the transition confirmation dialog 231 to the point exchange screen as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed. As a result of the determination, if the display state is displayed (YES in step S81), then, in step S82, operation data 513 is obtained. In a succeeding step S83, it is determined whether or not the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is a transition instruction to a point exchange screen. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the “go to point exchange screen” button 235 in FIG. 7 has been tapped. If the result of the determination is that a transition instruction has been made (YES in step S83), in step S87, processing for generating the top screen of the point exchange screen as shown in FIG. 8 is executed. Specifically, based on the exchange target lottery banner data 504, the exchange target lottery banner ID 541 included in the currently exchangeable period is specified, and based on the image data etc. included in the detailed information 543, the exchange target lottery banner ID 541 is specified. A lottery banner 244 is generated and arranged as appropriate in the virtual space. The noted item column 243 is also generated. Here, it is assumed that data (not shown) predefined for the content to be presented in the item of interest column (for example, by the game management side) is prepared, and the item of interest column 243 is generated based on this data. In addition, for example, among the furniture to be replaced, three pieces of furniture having a “rare degree 5” may be randomly selected, and the attention item column 243 may be generated based on the selected pieces.

  Next, in step S99, a process of capturing a virtual space in which the processing contents of steps S81 to S98 are reflected with a virtual camera to generate a game image is executed.

  On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S83 is that a transition instruction has not been issued (NO in step S83), in step S84, it is determined whether or not the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is a "return" instruction to the shop screen. Is determined. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether the “return” button 234 in FIG. 7 has been tapped. If the result of the determination is that a return instruction has been issued (YES in step S84), "cookie shop" is set in the processing mode 514 in step S85. Subsequently, in step S86, a process for deleting the transition confirmation dialog 231 and displaying the cookie shop screen is executed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S99.

  Next, a description will be given of a process performed when the transition confirmation dialog 231 is not displayed as a result of the determination in step S81 (NO in step S81). In this case, it is determined in step S88 whether or not the exchange details screen as shown in FIG. 5 is currently being displayed. If the result of this determination is that it is displayed (YES in step S88), the exchange details screen processing in step S89 is executed. This processing will be described later.

  On the other hand, when the exchange details screen is not displayed (that is, the top screen is displayed) (NO in step S88), the operation data 513 is obtained in step S91 in FIG. Next, in step S92, based on the operation data 513, it is determined whether any furniture in the item-of-interest column 243 has been tapped. As a result of the determination, if any furniture is tapped (YES in step S92), in step S93, an exchange detail screen for the exchange target lottery banner 244 corresponding to the tapped furniture is generated. For example, the exchange target lottery banner data 504 is referred to, and data (name, image, number of cards required for exchange) of the exchange target furniture related to the exchange target lottery banner 244 including the tapped furniture as the exchange target is acquired. . In addition, the possessed furniture data 511 is referred to, and the possessed number of each piece of furniture to be replaced is also acquired. Then, based on these, an exchange detail screen as shown in FIG. 5 is generated. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S99.

  On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S92 is that any furniture in the item of interest column 243 has not been tapped (NO in step S92), then in step S94, any of the exchange target lottery banners 244 is displayed. It is determined whether or not tapped. If the result of the determination is that any of the lottery banners 244 to be exchanged has been tapped (YES in step S94), in step S95, the lottery banner data 504 to be exchanged and the furniture possessed are held. Based on the data 511, an exchange details screen corresponding to the tapped exchange target lottery banner 244 is generated. The processing related to the generation is the same as step S93. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S99.

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S94, when any of the exchange target lottery banners 244 has not been tapped, in step S96, an operation of scrolling the exchange target presentation area 241 based on the operation data 513 (for example, up and down) It is determined whether a flick operation in the direction, a slide operation, or the like has been performed. If the result of this determination is that a scroll operation has been performed (YES in step S96), in step S97, a process of changing the display content of the exchange target presentation area 241 according to the scroll operation content is performed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S99. On the other hand, when the scroll operation has not been performed (NO in step S96), in step S98, other game processes are appropriately executed based on the operation content indicated by the operation data 513, and thereafter, the process proceeds to step S99. Can proceed.

[Exchange details screen processing]
Next, a detailed exchange screen process according to step S89 will be described. FIGS. 25 to 27 are flowcharts showing details of the exchange detail screen processing. In FIG. 25, first, in step S111, it is determined whether or not the number shortage dialog 271 as shown in FIG. 12 is displayed. If the result of the determination is that it is displayed (YES in step S111), the process proceeds to step S125 described below. On the other hand, if it is not displayed, it is next determined in step S112 whether the exchange confirmation dialog 261 as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed. If the result of the determination is that it is displayed (YES in step S112), the process proceeds to step S128 described below. On the other hand, when it is not displayed (NO in step S112), it is considered that the exchange details screen as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed. In this case, the operation data 513 is obtained in step S113.

  Next, in step S114, it is determined whether or not the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is an instruction to end the exchange details screen. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether the “return” button 265 in FIG. 5 has been tapped. If the result of the determination is that the instruction is to end the exchange details screen (YES in step S114), a process for deleting the exchange details screen and displaying the top screen is executed in step S120. Thereafter, the exchange details screen processing ends.

  On the other hand, if it is not an instruction to end the exchange details screen (NO in step S114), it is next determined in step S115 whether any furniture is currently being selected. That is, it is determined whether or not the selection mark 258 as shown in FIG. 10 is on any furniture. If no furniture is selected as a result of the determination (NO in step S115), a process of invalidating the replacement button 257 is executed in step S116.

  Next, in step S117, based on the operation data 513, it is determined whether an operation of selecting any furniture, that is, an operation of tapping any furniture is performed. As a result of the determination, when the operation of tapping any furniture has not been performed (NO in step S117), the replacement detail screen process ends. On the other hand, when an operation of tapping any furniture is performed (YES in step S117), a process of activating exchange button 257 is performed in step S118. Further, in step S119, setting indicating that the tapped furniture is being selected (for example, turning on a selection flag associated with the furniture) is appropriately performed on the tapped furniture, and the selection mark 258 is selected. Is also executed. If another piece of furniture is tapped while one of the pieces of furniture is already selected, the selection mark 258 of the piece of furniture that has been selected so far is deleted, and the selection mark of the piece of furniture that is newly tapped is selected. 258 is executed. Thereafter, the exchange details screen processing ends.

  On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S115 is that any furniture is being selected (YES in step S115), in step S121, it is determined whether or not the operation content indicated by the operation data 513 is an instruction for “exchange”. Is determined. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether the exchange button 257 in the activated state has been tapped. If the result of the determination is that the instruction is not a replacement instruction (NO in step S121), the process proceeds to step S117.

  On the other hand, in the case of a replacement instruction (YES in step S121), it is next determined in step S122 whether the number of replacement point cards required for replacement of the selected furniture is sufficient. This is determined based on the number of exchange point cards 509 and the information of “necessary number” included in the exchange target data 544. As a result of the determination, if the required number of exchange point cards are possessed (YES in step S122), an exchange confirmation dialog 261 as shown in FIG. 11 is generated in step S123. On the other hand, if the required number of exchange point cards is not possessed (NO in step S122), a dialog box 271 for insufficient number of sheets as shown in FIG. 12 is generated. Thereafter, the exchange details screen processing ends.

  Next, the processing in the case where the number shortage dialogue 271 is displayed in the determination in step S111 (YES in step S111) will be described. In this case, the operation data 513 is acquired in step S125 of FIG. 26, and in the following step S126, it is determined based on the operation data 513 whether or not the “OK” button is tapped in the number-of-numbers insufficient dialog 271. If the result of the determination is that the "OK" button has been tapped (YES in step S126), a process of deleting the insufficient number dialogue 271 is performed in step S127. On the other hand, if OK has not been tapped (NO in step S126), the exchange details screen process ends (as a result, the shortage of number dialogue 271 remains displayed).

  Next, the processing when the exchange confirmation dialog 261 is displayed in the determination in step S112 (YES in step S112) will be described. In this case, the operation data 513 is obtained in step S128 of FIG. 27, and in the following step S129, it is determined whether or not an exchange instruction has been issued based on the operation data 513. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the “OK” button has been tapped in exchange confirmation dialog 261. As a result of the determination, if a replacement instruction has been issued (YES in step S129), in step S130, the required number of point cards for furniture according to the replacement instruction is subtracted from the number 509 of replacement point cards. Next, in step S131, a process of giving furniture to the user according to the replacement instruction is performed. Specifically, in the case of furniture newly acquired by the exchange, the furniture ID 551 indicating the furniture is added to the possessed furniture data 511 as the possession number 1. If one or more pieces of furniture already possessed are further obtained by exchange, the possession number 552 is added.

  On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S129 is that an exchange instruction has not been issued (NO in step S129), whether or not an instruction to delete the exchange confirmation dialog 261 has been issued based on the operation data 513 in step S132. Is determined. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the “return” button has been tapped in the exchange confirmation dialog 261. If the result of the determination is that an instruction to delete has been given (YES in step S132), a process for deleting the exchange confirmation dialog and returning to the exchange details screen is executed in step S133. On the other hand, if the erasure instruction has not been issued (NO in step S132), the exchange details screen processing is terminated as it is (as a result, the exchange confirmation dialog 261 remains displayed).

  This is the end of the detailed description of the game processing according to the present embodiment.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, furniture can be obtained by the above-described ticket use lottery. Further, a plurality of types of ticket use lottery having different contents are provided, and each ticket use lottery is also set with a holding period. Therefore, the content of the furniture that can be obtained changes every time the holding period is different, so that an opportunity to obtain various furniture by lottery can be provided.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the exchange points can be obtained by performing the ticket use lottery. By accumulating a predetermined number of the exchange points, it is possible to exchange desired contents from the contents subject to the ticket use lottery. In addition, since there is no limitation on the expiration date of points, the user can perform ticket use lottery at his own pace and accumulate exchange points. Thus, it is possible to provide an opportunity for the user to reliably obtain the desired content, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in the motivation of the user due to the difficulty in obtaining the desired content.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, there is no particular limitation on the period during which the exchange points can be used. For example, it is assumed that the ticket use lottery A is held in the period A. The exchange points (and the exchange point card based on the exchange points) given by using the ticket use lottery A in this period A can be used even after the end of the period A. For example, if the ticket use lottery B is held in the period B and the lottery target of the ticket use lottery B is presented as the exchange target at the same time, the content of the ticket use lottery B is exchanged using the exchange point card acquired in the above period A. It is also possible to exchange. Therefore, the user can accumulate the exchange points without worrying about the expiration date of the exchange points, and can obtain various contents such as furniture using the exchange point card at a desired timing. Becomes

  In the present embodiment, all the contents of the ticket use lottery provided to the user at that time are to be exchanged. In this regard, in a conventional social game, for example, from the viewpoint of profitability and the like, the exchange target is a part of a plurality of lotteries (particularly, lotteries that can be used with some kind of billing element called pay gacha etc.). Usually, only the lottery is targeted, or only some of the lottery targets in a certain lottery, not all, are targeted for exchange. In the present embodiment, since all lottery targets are provided to the user as exchange targets without providing such a restriction, it is possible to provide an opportunity for the user to more reliably obtain desired content.

[Modification]
Note that, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which a plurality of ticket use lotteries is presented to the user has been described. However, in another embodiment, only one ticket use lottery may be presented.

  Also, when exchanging contents (furniture in the above example), in the above example, if 10 unexchanged points are accumulated, the points are converted into one exchange point card, and this exchange point card and desired contents are exchanged. Indicated. In another embodiment, a configuration that does not use such a replacement point card may be adopted. For example, "exchange points" are given by performing the above-mentioned ticket use lottery, and this is accumulated, and the content to be exchanged is replaced with "the number of exchange point cards required for exchange" in the above example. "Necessary number of exchange points" may be set. In addition, instead of using the number of unexchanged points 510, the number of times of lottery by the ticket use lottery is stored. For example, every time ten times of lottery is performed, the content corresponding to the exchange point card is displayed by the user. May be provided.

  Also, in the above example, a value is set according to the rarity of the content with respect to the number of exchange point cards necessary for exchanging the content. However, in other embodiments, the content may be set regardless of the rarity. The number of exchange point cards may be set individually for each.

  Further, when exchanging contents, if a necessary number of exchange point cards is sufficient, a plurality of contents may be exchanged collectively.

  In addition, in the above embodiment, an example in which a lottery target in a ticket use lottery (lottery by purchasing a ticket cookie) is set as an exchange target has been described. However, in other embodiments, the "bell cookie" A lottery target by purchase may be presented as an exchange target. That is, regardless of the presence or absence of the billing element, all the contents that can be provided by lottery in the game may be presented to the user as exchange targets using the exchange points.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, as the exchange target related to the exchange target lottery banner 244, the content to be exchanged is the content that is the lottery target in the currently held ticket use lottery or the ticket use lottery held in the past. In another embodiment, a content group that has not been presented as a lottery target until now may be presented as an exchange target. For example, the “ticket use lottery A” in which the “content group A” is a lottery target has been held in the past, and the “ticket use lottery B” and the “content group C” in which the “content group B” has the lottery target have been selected. It is assumed that “ticket use lottery C” is currently being held. In such a case, the user may be presented with an exchange target lottery banner 244 with the “content group D” as the exchange target. Further, after the exchange period of the “content group D” ends, a “ticket use lottery D” in which the “content group D” is a lottery target may be held.

  In the above example, with respect to the holding period of the ticket use lottery and the exchange period of the exchange target related to the exchange target lottery banner 244, the start and end periods of both are the same (except for the reprinted exchange). And had In another embodiment, the configuration may be such that only part of the period overlaps. In any case, even while the lottery is being held, it is possible to provide an opportunity to obtain the content targeted for the lottery by using the exchange using the points.

  Of course, it goes without saying that the holding period of the ticket use lottery and the exchange period of the exchange target for the exchange target lottery banner 244 may not be overlapped. For example, after a certain period of use of a ticket using lottery ends, after a predetermined period has elapsed, it may be presented as an exchange target in the form of “reprint” as in the above example. In addition, a configuration may be adopted in which a ticket use lottery is presented as an exchange target immediately after the holding period of the ticket use lottery ends. For example, assuming that the holding period of “ticket use lottery A” is 10 days from January 1 to January 10, immediately after the end of the institution, for example, the same period as this holding, that is, January 11 From the date to January 20, the lottery target of “ticket use lottery A” may be presented as a replacement target. After that, after a predetermined period of time, the replacement may be performed in the form of “reprint”. Thus, even if the desired content cannot be obtained during the lottery period, it is possible to provide the user with an opportunity to obtain the desired content by exchanging the content without waiting for “reprint” which is not known when.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the game process is executed by the information processing apparatus alone is described as an example. However, the subject that executes the above process is not limited to the above configuration. For example, in another embodiment, the information processing apparatus and a predetermined server are configured to be communicable, and the above-described various data and a part of the information processing are stored and processed in the predetermined server. Is also good. Further, the system on the server side may be configured by a plurality of information processing apparatuses, and the processing to be executed on the server side may be shared and executed by the plurality of information processing apparatuses. In such a case, for example, the server stores data on users who use the game for each user. Then, at the start of the game, the user performs a log-in process to the server, downloads necessary data from the server to the information processing device 102, and cooperates with the information processing device 102 and the predetermined server to obtain information as described above. A configuration in which the processing is executed may be adopted.

  In addition, for example, in a configuration in which a single game device stores a plurality of user accounts, that is, in a case where one game device is shared by a plurality of users, the above process may be applied. For example, at the start of game play, a user account may be selected to be used, and the above process may be performed for each user account.

  Further, in the above embodiment, on the top screen of the exchange screen, some contents are picked up and presented as the attention item column 243, and a shortcut to the exchange detail screen is provided. In addition, for example, the content corresponding to the item-of-interest column 243 may be presented immediately after the user starts the game. For example, when the user logs in to the game, a predetermined number of contents having a high rarity among the contents that can be exchanged at that time are selected as “notices” and presented in the same format as the noted item column 243. It may be. This makes it easy for the user to notice immediately after the start of the game that the content desired by the user is exchangeable. Further, by tapping the content image in the item of interest column 243, it is possible to transit to the exchange detail screen as described above (see FIG. 5), and it is possible to further enhance the convenience for the user.

  Further, the content presented in the item of interest column may be determined based on the possession status of the content of the user. For example, it is assumed that a ticket use lottery A in which a content group A including ten types of contents is to be selected has been held in the past. Then, it is assumed that, for example, nine types of contents have been obtained at the time of this lottery. In such a case, the remaining one type of content (regardless of its rarity) is displayed, for example, at the timing at which the exchange target lottery banner 244 that sets the lottery target of the ticket use lottery A as the exchange target after a predetermined period has elapsed is presented. You may make it present in the attention item column 243. In addition, for example, the usage history (number of times of lottery, etc.) of each ticket use lottery of the user may be stored, and the content to be presented in the item of interest column may be determined based on the usage history. When a lottery target of a lot of ticket use lotteries is presented as an exchange target, the exchange target may be presented in the attention item column with priority over other exchange targets. It is considered that a ticket use lottery with a large number of uses is considered to include content of high interest to the user, and this is to make it easier for the user to notice when the content is exchanged.

  Further, the “virtual currency” is not limited to the “bell” and the “ticket” as described above. For example, objects that are not treated as currency in the real world, such as “orb” and “jewel”, may be treated as virtual currency.
