  Next, functions of the service providing system 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically showing functions of the system 10. As illustrated, the system 10 includes an information storage management unit 41 that stores and manages various information, a basic function control unit 43 that controls basic functions, a service control unit 45 that controls provided services, and a lottery target content. And a lottery control unit 47 for controlling the lottery. These functions are realized by cooperation of hardware such as the computer processor 11 and the main memory 12 and various programs and data stored in the storage 15 and the like. This is realized by the computer processor 11 executing the instructions included in the read program. In addition, some or all of the functions illustrated in FIG. 2 may be realized by cooperation between the system 10 and the user terminal 30 or may be realized by the user terminal 30.

  The information storage management unit 41 of the system 10 stores and manages various information in the storage 15 and the like. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the information storage management unit 41 may include a user information table 411 that manages information on users of the provided service.

  The basic function control unit 43 of the system 10 executes various processes related to control of the basic functions. For example, the basic function control unit 43 transmits HTML data or control data of various screens related to the basic function to the user terminal 30 and responds to an operation input by the user via the screen displayed on the user terminal 30 to perform various operations. And transmits HTML data or control data corresponding to the result of the processing to the user terminal 30. The basic functions controlled by the basic function control unit 43 include, for example, login processing (user authentication), charging control, and user management (for example, updating the user information table 411).

  The service control unit 45 of the system 10 executes various processes related to control of the provided service. For example, the service control unit 45 transmits HTML data or control data of various screens related to the provided service to the user terminal 30 and responds to various operation inputs by the user via the screen displayed on the user terminal 30 to perform various operations. The processing is executed, and HTML data or control data corresponding to the result of the processing is transmitted to the user terminal 30. For example, when the provided service is an online game, the service control unit 45 transmits HTML data or control data of various screens related to the game to the user terminal 30 and transmits the data via the screen displayed on the user terminal 30. Various processes (including processes for advancing the game) are executed in response to an operation input by the user.

  The lottery control unit 47 of the system 10 executes various processes related to lottery control. For example, the lottery control unit 47 transmits HTML data or control data of various screens related to the lottery to the user terminal 30 and performs various processes in response to an operation input by the user via the screen displayed on the user terminal 30. And transmits HTML data or control data corresponding to the result of the processing to the user terminal 30. The processing executed by the lottery control unit 47 includes individual lottery processing (for example, processing of selecting a winning content from a plurality of predetermined lottery target contents based on a generated random number or the like).

  In the present embodiment, the lottery control unit 47 is configured to receive a user's selection of a lottery to be executed from a plurality of lotteries. Here, the plurality of lotteries are different from each other in all or a part of the lottery target content. That is, in the present embodiment, the user is configured to be able to select a lottery to be executed from a plurality of lotteries in which at least a part of the lottery target content is different from each other. For example, the lottery control unit 47 is configured to accept selection of a lottery by a user via a screen displayed on the user terminal 30.

  In addition, the lottery control unit 47 is configured to execute the selected lottery with consumption of a predetermined required number of predetermined lottery values held by the user. For example, when executing the lottery selected by the user, the lottery control unit 47 is configured to consume a predetermined required number of predetermined lottery values held by the user. Information on the predetermined lottery value held by the user is managed in, for example, the user information table 411. The predetermined required number of predetermined lottery values consumed in the execution of the lottery is set, for example, for each selected lottery (the required number of at least some of the plurality of lotteries is different), Alternatively, a required number common to a plurality of lotteries is set. It can be said that the predetermined lottery value is a virtual and electronic value (including an item, a virtual currency, etc.) used for executing each of the plurality of lotteries.

  The lottery control unit 47, when accompanied by the consumption of the first discount item held by the user, sets a predetermined required number of predetermined lottery values to be consumed along with the execution of the selected lottery. , A discount according to the selected lottery (for example, a discount at a discount rate or the number of discounts according to the lottery) is applied. That is, the lottery control unit 47 executes the first lottery with the consumption of the first discount item in response to a request from the user, for example, at the first discount rate (for example, 10%). When the second lottery is executed with the consumption of the first discount item, the discount at the second discount rate (for example, 30%) is applied. Is done. Information on the first discount item held by the user is managed in, for example, the user information table 411.

  As described above, the service providing system 10 according to the present embodiment needs the predetermined lottery value to be consumed when the selected lottery is executed when the first discount item held by the user is consumed. Since the discount corresponding to the selected lottery is applied to the number, the user is not required to select the lottery, etc. You can feel fun. As a result, the system 10 can promote the execution of the lottery and suppress a decrease in the pleasure for the lottery.

  In the present embodiment, the lottery provided by the system 10 includes various lotteries for the user to acquire lottery target content, which is virtual and electronic content to be lottered. The lottery target content may include various virtual and electronic contents. For example, the lottery target content includes characters, items, cards, and the like that can be used in an online game or the like as a provided service. Further, for example, the lottery target content includes image content (sometimes called a “stamp” or the like) that can be used in SNS, text chat, or the like as a provided service. In addition, for example, the lottery target content includes various virtual currencies available in the provided service.

  In the present embodiment, the lottery control unit 47 sets a predetermined required number of predetermined lottery values to be consumed in execution of the selected lottery when the second discount item held by the user is consumed. , A predetermined discount (for example, a discount at a fixed discount rate or a discount number) may be applied regardless of the selected lottery. Information on the second discount item held by the user is managed in, for example, the user information table 411. Such a configuration can suppress a decrease in the degree of satisfaction of a user who wants to apply a common discount to a plurality of lotteries.

  In the present embodiment, the service control unit 45 can be configured to give a discount item to the user. For example, the service control unit 45 is configured to give a predetermined number of discount items to the user at regular timing and / or at timing when the user satisfies predetermined conditions.

  When the provided service is a predetermined game, the service control unit 45 manages, for each user, a value of a first parameter that tends to increase as the predetermined game is played, and As the value of the parameter is larger, the first discount item is preferentially given to the user. On the other hand, as the value of the first parameter of the user is smaller, the second discount item is given to the user. It may be configured to give items preferentially. The value of the first parameter of the user is managed in, for example, the user information table 411. The first parameter includes, for example, a level, an experience value, a play time, a number of logins, and the like. With such a configuration, an experienced user having a relatively large value of the first parameter is given a priority to the first discount item in which the discount changes, thereby giving the user a pleasure in the selection of the lottery and the like. It is possible to give priority to selection of a desired lottery by giving a second discount item with a constant discount to a novice user having a relatively small value of the first parameter. As a result, it is possible to suppress a reduction in the degree of satisfaction of both the skilled user and the novice user.

  The predetermined game in the present embodiment can be configured to have a plurality of stages, and a value of a predetermined attribute can be set for each of the plurality of stages. In this case, the value of the predetermined attribute is also set in each of the plurality of lotteries, and the lottery control unit 47 sets the predetermined required number of items in the case where the first discount item held by the user is consumed. , A discount according to the play situation of the user of the stage in which the same predetermined attribute value as that of the selected lottery is set may be applied. The predetermined attribute can be configured as various parameters, and includes, for example, series in animations and games that have been serialized. With such a configuration, the discount applied varies according to the play status of the stage corresponding to the selected lottery, and thus the discount linked to the play status of the stage can be applied.

  Further, the service control unit 45 sets a stage (a stage in which the value of the predetermined attribute is set) that is a second parameter associated with the value of the predetermined attribute and corresponds to the value of the predetermined attribute. The value of the second parameter, which tends to increase as the user plays, can be configured to be managed for each user, and the lottery control unit 47 sets the value of the predetermined attribute set in the selected lottery to The discount may be configured to increase as the value of the associated second parameter increases (or decreases). The value of the second parameter of the user is managed, for example, in the user information table 411. The second parameter includes, for example, the number of times the corresponding stage has been cleared, the number of times the boss character has been defeated, the play time, and the like. In such a configuration, the discount increases as the stage corresponding to the selected lottery is played (or not played), so that the lottery corresponding to the stage playing (or not playing) is performed. Promote the execution of

  In addition, the service control unit 45 is configured to give the user a first discount item in which a discount for at least a part of a plurality of lotteries is set based on the user's playing situation of a predetermined game. In this case, the lottery control unit 47 may use the first lottery for the selected lottery with respect to the predetermined required number when the first discount item held by the user is consumed. It may be configured to apply the discount set for the discount item. For example, the service control unit 45 sets the first discount item in which a larger discount is set for a lottery in which the value of the second parameter associated with the value of the set predetermined attribute is larger (or smaller). It can be configured to provide. Such a configuration facilitates the execution of the lottery corresponding to the stage being played (or not being played).

  Next, a specific example of the service providing system 10 of the present embodiment having such functions will be described. The system 10 in this example provides an online game (RPG) to the user of the user terminal 30 and also performs a lottery to obtain items (eg, equipment items for characters, etc.) available in the game. provide.

  FIG. 3 illustrates information managed by the user information table 411 in this example. The user information table 411 manages information for each user (player) of the online game of this example, and as shown in the drawing, is associated with a “user account” for identifying an individual user, and the level of the user (first "Parameter)," stage clear count per series "indicating the number of stage clears (second parameter) for each series (predetermined attribute)," coin holdings "," first discount ticket holdings " , And "the number of second discount tickets".

  The series corresponds to each of a plurality of series in a specific game that is a series, which is a motif of the RPG in this example, and each of the plurality of stages included in the RPG has one of the plurality of series. Is set.

  The coin (predetermined lottery value) in this example is a virtual and electronic item for executing the lottery, and a predetermined number is consumed according to the execution of the lottery. Note that the coin may be configured to be used for purposes other than the execution of the lottery. Further, the user can acquire coins at various timings for a fee or free of charge. For example, a user can purchase coins using real currency, and can earn coins as a bonus in games.

  Further, the first and second discount tickets (first and second discount items) in this example apply a discount to the required number of coins consumed according to the execution of the lottery (from the required number). This is a virtual and electronic item for reducing the number of discounts). In this example, the first discount ticket is a discount ticket configured to change the discount rate according to the selected lottery, while the second discount ticket is the discount rate regardless of the selected lottery. Is a discount ticket configured to be constant.

  FIG. 4 illustrates a stage selection screen 50 for selecting a stage to be played by the user in the online game of this example. The screen 50 is displayed on the user terminal 30, and a plurality of stage selection buttons 52 respectively corresponding to the plurality of stages are arranged in the up-down direction as shown in the figure. The user can select a stage to play by selecting any of the plurality of stage selection buttons 52. The online game of this example is configured as an RPG in which a user constructs a deck with a plurality of characters and plays a battle with an enemy character using the deck. Each stage is composed of, for example, a plurality of areas. The user can advance to the next area by defeating an enemy character appearing in each area, and can defeat the enemy character (boss character) in the last area by defeating the stage. Be clear.

  Further, in this example, as described above, each of the stages is set to one of a plurality of series in a specific series of games, and as shown in FIG. At the right end of the stage selection button 52, a series display object 521 indicating a series (corresponding Roman numeral) set for the corresponding stage is arranged. Each stage is configured with a set series as a motif, for example, a background image corresponding to a specific scene in the series is applied, and a prominent character in the series appears as an enemy character It is configured as follows. In this example, a plurality of stages are associated with the same series. In other words, there are a plurality of stages associated with the same series. In addition, each stage can be cleared any number of times, and each time the stage is cleared, the number of stage clears for each series in the user information table 411 is updated. For example, when the stage in which the series II is set is cleared, 1 is added to the number of stage clears of the series II.

  FIG. 5 illustrates a lottery selection screen 60 for selecting a lottery to be executed by the user from a plurality of lotteries. The screen 60 displays the number of held first and second discount tickets of the user, as well as a plurality of lottery selection buttons 62 corresponding to the plurality of lotteries, respectively, as shown in FIG. I have. The user can select a lottery to be executed by selecting any one of the plurality of lottery selection buttons 62.

  In this example, a plurality of lotteries that can be selected via the lottery selection screen 60 correspond to a plurality of series in the specific game described above, respectively, and as shown in FIG. Indicates the corresponding series. For example, each of a plurality of lotteries is configured to include a prominent item equipped by a prominent character in a corresponding series as a lottery target item. As described above, the plurality of lotteries have different lottery target items.

  When any one of the plurality of lottery selection buttons 62 on the lottery selection screen 60 is selected, a lottery execution screen 70 illustrated in FIG. 6 is displayed. The screen 70 is a screen for executing the lottery selected via the lottery selection screen 60, and as shown in the drawing, the number of coins (the required number, FIG. 6) required to execute the corresponding lottery. 100 in the example) and the number of coins held by the user, and has an execution button 711 displayed as "execute without using a discount ticket".

  When the user has the first discount ticket, the first area 72 is arranged on the lottery execution screen 70 as shown in FIG. The area 72 is not displayed when the user does not have the first discount ticket. The first area 72 has an execution button 721 displayed as "execute using the first discount ticket", as shown in the figure, and requires a coin when the first discount ticket is used. The discount rate for the number and the required number of coins after the discount are displayed. In the example of FIG. 6, the discount rate is 40%, and the required number of coins after the discount is 60 (the number of discounts is 100 × 0.4 = 40).

  In this example, the first discount ticket is configured as a discount ticket to which a discount rate according to the number of stage clears of the series set in the selected lottery is applied. FIG. 7 shows an example of the correspondence between the number of stage clears of the corresponding series and the discount rate set when the first discount ticket is used. In the first discount ticket of this example, as shown in the figure, when the number of stage clears of the corresponding series is 50 or less, 40% is set as the discount rate. Similarly, if the number of stage clears is 51 or more and 100 or less, 50% is set as the discount rate, and if the number of stage clears is 101 or more, 60% is set as the discount rate. For example, the lottery execution screen 70 in FIG. 6 is a lottery corresponding to the series III, and the discount rate when the first discount ticket is used is 40%. 50 or less. In the first area 72, the number of times of stage clearing of the corresponding series may be further displayed.

  As described above, in the first discount ticket of this example, since the discount rate increases as the number of stage clears of the corresponding series increases, it is advantageous for the user to select a lottery corresponding to the series with the number of stage clears. Becomes As a result, the execution of the lottery corresponding to the series that the user plays relatively frequently is promoted. In another example of the present embodiment, the first discount ticket is configured such that the smaller the number of stage clears of the corresponding series is, the higher the discount rate is. It is advantageous to select the lottery corresponding to. As a result, the execution of the lottery corresponding to the series that the user has not played much is promoted.

  When the user holds the second discount ticket, the second area 74 is arranged on the lottery execution screen 70 as shown in FIG. The area 74 is not displayed if the user does not have the second discount ticket. The second area 74 has an execution button 741 displayed as “execute using the second discount ticket”, and a discount rate for the required number of coins when the second discount ticket is used, Also, the required number of coins after the discount is displayed. In this example, the second discount ticket is configured as a discount ticket to which a fixed discount rate (for example, 30%) is applied. In the example of FIG. 6, the required number of coins after the discount is 70 (the number of discounts is 100 × 0.3 = 30).

  When any one of the execution buttons 711, 721, 741 on the lottery execution screen 70 is selected, the lottery is executed with coin consumption. When the execute button 711 is selected (without using a discount ticket), the required number of coins to be consumed is a predetermined number required for lottery (100 in the example of FIG. 7). When the button 721 is selected (the use of the first discount ticket is used), a discount rate corresponding to the number of stage clears of the corresponding series (in this example, the required number predetermined for the lottery) , 40%, 50%, and 60%), the required number after applying the discount, and when the execution button 741 is selected (the use of the second discount ticket), This is the required number after applying the discount at a fixed discount rate (30% in this example) for the determined required number. Specifically, the lottery is performed by determining the lottery target content that has been won according to a winning probability set in advance for each of the plurality of lottery target contents in the selected lottery.

  In this example, the system 10 periodically (eg, on the first day of each month) provides a predetermined number of first and second discount tickets to each of a plurality of users. Specifically, the first and second discount tickets of the number corresponding to the level of the user are periodically given to the user. FIG. 8 exemplifies a correspondence relationship between the user level and the number of granted first and second discount tickets. As shown in the figure, in this example, a user having a level of 100 or less is provided with 10 second discount tickets having a constant discount rate, and a user having a level of 101 or more and 200 or less is provided. Is provided with five first discount tickets and five second discount tickets whose discount rates change in accordance with the selected lottery, and for a user whose level is 201 or more, 10 discount tickets of 1 are awarded. As described above, in this example, a second discount ticket having a constant discount rate is preferentially given to a novice user having a relatively low level, so that such a novice user can obtain a desired lottery ( For example, selection of a lottery corresponding to a favorite series among a plurality of series of a specific game can be prioritized. Further, in this example, the first discount ticket whose discount rate changes in accordance with the selected lottery is preferentially given to a user of an expert having a relatively high level. Can enjoy the selection of lottery. When the user holds the discount ticket (when there is an unused discount ticket) at the timing of granting the discount ticket, only the shortage with respect to the number of granted tickets illustrated in FIG. (Ie, the number of discount tickets held by the user does not exceed the number of tickets shown in FIG. 8). In this example, the user can also purchase the first and / or second discount tickets for a fee.

  In the above-described example, the predetermined number of the first and second discount tickets are periodically given to the user. However, in another example of the present embodiment, the first and second predetermined number of the first and second discount tickets are provided for the first time. At which the consumption rate (usage rate, digestion rate) of all discount tickets granted to a plurality of users is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold (for example, 80%) Then, a predetermined number of discount tickets are given again. The timing at which the discount ticket is provided to the user is not limited to the above. For example, the discount ticket may be provided at a timing based on the game play status of each user. Also, instead of uniformly giving a predetermined number of discount tickets to a user, a predetermined number of discount tickets are prepared in advance for a plurality of users, and a user who satisfies a predetermined condition (for example, when the level is a predetermined value) , Etc.), a discount ticket may be given each time.

  In the example described above, the discount rate according to the number of stage clears of the series corresponding to the lottery to be executed is applied to the first discount ticket at the timing of using the first discount ticket (executing the lottery). Although configured as described above, in another example of the present embodiment, the discount rate for each lottery is set in advance for the first discount ticket at the timing when the first discount ticket is given to the user. For example, in the first discount ticket in the other example, a discount rate for each lottery corresponding to each series is set based on the number of stage clears of each series of the user at the timing given to the user (for example, A larger discount rate is set for a lottery corresponding to a series with a larger / less number of stage clears). In this case, the discount rate for each lottery set in the individual first discount ticket held by the user is managed in the user information table 411 and the like.

  In the above-described example, the discount rate may be changed according to the use status of the granted first and / or second discount tickets. For example, the discount rate may decrease as the elapsed time from the date and time when the discount ticket is granted increases. In this case, the reduced discount rate may be restored to the initial discount rate according to satisfaction of a predetermined condition (clearing of a specific stage, etc.).

  The service providing system 10 according to the present embodiment described above consumes the first lottery item (for example, the first discount ticket) held by the user when the selected lottery is executed. A discount according to the selected lottery (for example, a discount at a discount rate according to the number of stage clears of the corresponding series) is applied to the required number of predetermined lottery values (for example, coins). In comparison with a case where the initial discount or the like is simply provided for each of the plurality of lotteries, the user can enjoy the selection of the lottery and the like. As a result, the system 10 can promote the execution of the lottery and suppress a decrease in the pleasure for the lottery.

  In another embodiment of the present invention, there is no first discount item (for example, a first discount ticket) to which a discount according to the selected lottery is applied, and a predetermined item is determined regardless of the selected lottery. It is configured such that only the second discount item (for example, the second discount ticket) to which the discount is applied exists. Even in this case, the user can apply the discount repeatedly to a specific favorite lottery, compared to the case where the initial discount is performed for each of the plurality of lotteries. Implementation can be facilitated.
