[motion]
The operation in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 13 is a sequence diagram for explaining the operation of the present embodiment.

The player operates the touch operation panel 12 of the player terminal 2 to request the provision of a card (step 1). Upon receiving the card provision request, the card providing unit 71 transmits the card providing request to the game server 3 via the communication unit 55 (step 2).

Upon receiving the card provision request via the communication unit 93, the provision card determination unit 103 of the game server 3 determines whether the card provision conditions are satisfied (step 3). When the card provision condition is satisfied, the card identification information is transmitted to the player terminal 2 via the communication unit 93 (step 4).

The card providing unit 71 reads out the rarity of all the received cards from the card data based on the card identification information received via the communication unit 55 (step 5). Notify the display control unit 72 of the read rarity value.

When the card providing unit 71 receives the card identification information, the display control unit 72 reads the default package image from the storage unit 51 and displays it on the image display unit 53 (step 6).

When the default package image is displayed, the detection unit 63 starts detecting the pressing of the touch operation panel 12 by the player. When the pressure is detected (step 7), the display control unit 72 is notified of the detection.

The display control unit 72 reads the change parameter from the package data based on the highest value among the notified rarities (step 8). When the detection unit 63 notifies that a predetermined input has been detected, the content of the read change parameter is reflected in the package image displayed on the image display unit 53 to change (step 9).

After changing the package image, the display control unit 72 reads out the image (video) in which the package is virtually opened from the storage unit 51 and displays it (step 10). Subsequently, the display control unit 72 displays an image (video) in which the card virtually comes out of the package (step 11), and displays the back side of the card coming out of the package so as to be visible (step 12). ..

In the above embodiment, the description has been made using a configuration in which the card data of all the cards is stored in the player terminal 2 in advance, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, when the card provision condition is satisfied, the provision card determination unit 103 transmits the card identification information, the card image, the character HP, and the rarity, and the card identification unit 71 and the display control unit 72 receive the card identification. The information, the card image, the character HP, and the rarity may be used to perform the same operation as described above.

Further, in the above embodiment, the configuration in which the player terminal 2 stores the package data according to the rarity of the card in advance has been described, but the configuration is not limited to this configuration. For example, the player terminal 2 does not store the package data, the storage unit 92 of the game server 3 stores the package data, and when transmitting the card identification information acquired by the player, the package change parameter is also transmitted. It may be a configuration. The operation in such a configuration will be described.

When the providing card determination unit 103 determines the card to be provided to the player, the providing card determination unit 103 reads the change parameter from the package data based on the identification information of the card having the highest rarity. The providing card determination unit 103 transmits the read change parameter and the card identification information to the player terminal 2 via the communication unit 93.

The card providing unit 71 of the player terminal 2 notifies the display control unit 72 of the card identification information and the change parameter received via the communication unit 55. The display control unit 72 changes the content of the change parameter notified from the card providing unit 71 by applying it to the package image displayed on the display 11.

According to the present invention described above, when the player touches the image of the package in which the card acquired by the player is virtually contained on the touch panel, a part of the package image changes according to the rarity of the card contained in the package. Therefore, the player can perform the next operation with a sense of expectation. This raises the interest of the player.

[Modification 1]
A modification 1 of the first embodiment will be described. In the first modification of the first embodiment, in order to give the player a feeling of further expectation, the package is packaged before at least a part of the display mode of the package image is changed according to the rarity of the card acquired by the player. Or, direct the authentication act for acquiring the card.

As described above, when the card provision condition is satisfied, the default package image is displayed on the display 11, and the player inputs the displayed package image by touch operation. At this time, the player inputs an operation that matches the preset conditions. The preset condition is, for example, that a predetermined area of the package image is set as an authentication area and a predetermined pressure on the authentication area is detected. The detection unit 63 detects whether or not a predetermined pressing is performed in the authentication area of the package image displayed on the display 11.

The authentication area of the package image is preferably a characteristic part of the package image that the player visually wants to press. For example, the opening part of the package (including the area near the opening part), the key pattern drawn on the package, and the like (including the area around the pattern). For example, FIG. 14 shows an example of the authentication area, and the portion surrounded by the dotted line shows an example of the authentication area 240. (A) is an example in which the package is a box, and the vicinity of the opening portion of the box is an example in which the authentication area is located. (B) is an example in which the package is a bag, and the area around the dotted line and the scissors pattern drawn on the upper part of the bag is the authentication area. (C) is an example in which the package is a box, and the area around the keyhole pattern drawn around the center of the box is the authentication area. Since the authentication area needs to be recognized by the player, the player can recognize the authentication area by using a description, an arrow, an icon, or the like.

The predetermined pressing is a touch operation such as tapping, double tapping, swiping, and long pressing. FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining a predetermined pressing force on the authentication area.

FIG. 15A shows an example in which the opening portion (and the vicinity of the opening portion) of the box is double-tapped. The detection unit 63 detects two consecutive presses in the authentication area 240.

FIG. 15B is an example of swiping the dotted line and the scissors pattern (and the periphery of the pattern) drawn on the bag. The detection unit 63 detects the pressing force moving in the authentication area 240.

FIG. 15C is an example of pressing and holding the keyhole (and the area around the keyhole) drawn on the box. The detection unit 63 detects pressing that has been continued for a predetermined time in the authentication area 240. Here, the predetermined time is, for example, 2 seconds.
When the operation that meets the above-mentioned authentication condition is performed, at least a part of the display mode of the package image changes according to the rarity of the card acquired by the player, as described in the above-described embodiment.

[Modification 2]
In the above embodiment, the case where there is only one package has been described. In the second modification, the case where there are a plurality of packages will be described.

As described above, when the card provision conditions are met, the display 11 displays a default package image. At this time, along with the package image, a plurality of display figures are also displayed as information indicating that there are a plurality of packages. FIG. 16 is an example in which a plurality of display figures are displayed on the display 11. In the example shown in FIG. 16A, the triangular figure 14-1 is shown, and in the example shown in FIG. 16B, the arrow 14-2 is the plurality of display figures.

The player performs an operation to remove the card from the package. When the player taps the plurality of display figures using the touch panel, all the packages are displayed on the display 11. The image of each package is displayed in a state in which the display form is partially changed according to the rarity of the card of each package. FIG. 17 is an example in which all packages are displayed on the display 11. The display position of each package on the display shall be predetermined. It is preferable that the arrangement of each package on the display is symmetrical. 17 (a) to 17 (i) are display examples when the number of packages is 2 to 10. In the example of FIG. 17, the packages are arranged and displayed so as to be line-symmetrical in the longitudinal direction of the display.

Images of all packages are displayed, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, one package is focused and enlarged. After the enlarged display, as shown in FIG. 5, an image of virtually opening the package seal is displayed. The image of the package displayed in focus may be a predetermined package image or a package image displayed at a predetermined position in the display of all packages, for example, in the upper left corner.

Next, the operation will be described.
The provision card determination unit 103 of the game server 3 receives the card provision request from the player terminal 2 and the number of card sets via the communication unit 93, and determines whether the card provision conditions are satisfied. When the card providing condition is satisfied, the providing card determining unit 103 transmits the identification information of the card provided to the player to the player terminal 2 via the communication unit 93 in association with each set.

The card providing unit 71 receives the card identification information for each set transmitted from the game server 3 when the card providing conditions are satisfied, via the communication unit 55. The card providing unit 71 adds the received card identification information to the user data of the storage unit 51. The card providing unit 71 reads out the rarity of all the received cards from the card data based on the identification information of the received cards.

When the card providing unit 71 notifies the display control unit 72 of the rarity value, the display control unit 72 displays one default package image on the display 11. The display control unit 72 confirms the value of the highest rarity among the notified rarities for each set. The display control unit 72 reads the change parameter from the package data based on the highest rarity value in each set. When the detection unit 63 notifies that the player has detected the tap (predetermined input) of the plurality of display figures, the image display unit 53 displays all the package images to which the contents of the read change parameters are applied.

The display control unit 72 enlarges and displays one predetermined package image after a lapse of a predetermined time, and subsequently displays an image for virtually opening the seal of the package.

<Second embodiment>
When the cards acquired by the player include cards with a high degree of rarity, that is, high value, a display indicating that the cards with high value are included, for example, as shown in FIG. The more interesting the player is. In the present embodiment, when a card having a rarity value equal to or higher than a predetermined value is acquired, a mode for displaying an effect image indicating that a card having a high value is included will be described. The same number will be assigned to the same configuration as that of the above embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 19 is a block diagram of the player terminal 2 of the present embodiment. The difference in the first embodiment is that the game calculation unit 61 further has an effect unit 75. Further, the effect data is stored in the storage unit 51. FIG. 20 shows an example of effect data. The effect data is data indicating a condition for displaying the effect image, and the rarity and the effect image are stored in association with each other. For example, the configuration shown in FIG. 20A is an example in which the effect image is associated with the rarity value. The configuration shown in FIG. 20B is an example in which the effect images are associated with each value in a predetermined area.

Based on the identification information of all the received cards, the card providing unit 71 reads out the rarity of all the received cards from the card data and notifies the effect unit 75.

The effect unit 75 determines whether the rarity value notified from the card providing unit 71 matches the condition for displaying the effect image. Specifically, the effect unit 75 searches for and reads out the effect image from the effect data based on the highest rarity value among the notified rarity values. Upon receiving the notification that the pressing is detected from the detection unit 63, the read effect image is displayed on the image display unit 53.

When the default package image is displayed, the detection unit 63 starts detecting the pressing of the touch panel 12 by the player. When the pressure is detected, the display control unit 72 and the effect unit 75 are notified of the detection.

[motion]
The operation in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 21 is a sequence diagram for explaining the operation of the present embodiment. Since the operations (steps 1 to 6) until the default package image of the first embodiment is displayed are the same, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The production unit 75 determines whether or not the rarity value read by the card providing unit 71 meets a predetermined condition (step 21). When there is a rarity of a value that matches a predetermined condition (step 21: Yes), the effect image is read out from the effect data based on the value of the rarity (step 22).

Since the subsequent processes (steps 7 to 12) for detecting the pressure from the detection unit 63 are the same as those in the above embodiment, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

According to the present invention described above, when the card acquired by the player includes a high-rare card, a production image meaning that is displayed is displayed, so that the player's interest is enhanced.

[Modification example]
In the second embodiment, when a card having a high degree of rarity is included, an effect of displaying an effect image is executed, but the effect method may be another method. For example, the effect sound may be prepared in advance instead of the effect image, and the effect sound may be output from the sound output unit 52. In addition, instead of the directing image, the directing vibration may be used for directing. Further, in the present invention, the effect image, the effect sound, and the effect vibration may be combined.

<Third embodiment>
In the first embodiment, the cards acquired by the player are arranged with the back side of the cards displayed. When the surface of these cards is displayed after the player performs an operation of displaying the surface of the card using the touch operation panel 12, the player can have a simulated experience, which improves the interest.

The operation of displaying the surface of the card includes, for example, an operation in which the player rubs the touch operation panel 12 with a finger (swipe left / right or / and up / down). By this operation, the surface of the card is gradually displayed like a scratch card. FIG. 22A is an example in which the surface is displayed by rubbing with a finger.

Another operation is for the player to tap or double-tap the area where the card is displayed. By this operation, the back side of the card displayed in the tapped area is changed to the front side. FIG. 22B is an example in which the back surface of the tapped card changes to the front surface.

Each configuration in this embodiment will be described. In the following description, an example of tapping by the player will be described. The same configurations as those in the above-described embodiment are designated by the same numbers, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The detection unit 63 starts detecting the pressing (tap) of the touch operation panel 12 by the player. When the detection unit 63 detects a tap, the detection unit 63 notifies the display control unit 72 of information indicating the tapped area (or position).

The display control unit 72 displays the surface of the card displayed in the notified area. The display control unit 72 waits for a notification from the detection unit 63 until the front surface of all the cards is displayed.

[motion]
The operation in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 23 is a sequence diagram for explaining the operation of the present embodiment. Since the operations up to the process (steps 1 to 12) of displaying the back surface of the card in the above embodiment are the same, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

When the detection unit 63 detects a tap, the display control unit 72 displays the surface of the card displayed in the tapped area (step 31). The display control unit 72 repeats step 31 until the surfaces of all the cards are displayed (step 32).

When the player performs an operation of displaying the front surface of the card using the touch operation panel 12 on the card (back surface) displayed on the display as in the present embodiment, the player displays the front surface of the card in a pseudo manner. Because you can experience it, your interest will improve.

[Modification example]
A method may be used in which all the cards are changed from the back side to the front side by one operation. In FIG. 22 (c), when the player swipes the touch operation panel 12 with a finger. The cards change from front to back in sequence along the swipe trajectory. In this case, the detection unit 63 detects the pressing (flick / swipe) of the touch operation panel 12 by the player. When a flick / swipe is detected, the display control unit 72 is notified of information indicating the direction of the flick / swipe.

The display control unit 72 sequentially displays the surface of the card according to the direction (trajectory) of the flick / swipe based on the information indicating the direction of the flick / swipe.

Further, the AI processing unit 103 receives the identification information of the card to be provided to the player determined by the providing card determination unit 103. The AI processing unit 103 inputs the identification information of the card held by the user and the identification information of the card provided to the player, and each card provided to the player (each card newly held by the player) is advantageous in the progress of the game. It is determined whether or not it is, and the result is output. If there is a card that is advantageous in the progress of the game, a determination result including the identification information of the card is transmitted to the player terminal 2 via the communication unit 93.

When the effect unit 75 of the player terminal 2 receives the determination result from the game server 3 via the communication unit 55, the effect unit 75 displays the second effect image on the image display unit 53. The second effect image includes the surface of the card with the identification number of the card transmitted from the game server 3 and the content indicating that there is an advantageous card. FIG. 25 is an example in which the second effect image is displayed. The second effect image may be stored in the player terminal 2 in advance, or may be sent from the game server 3 together with the determination result.

The effect unit 75 displays the second effect image on the image display unit 53 after all the surfaces of the cards are displayed.

[motion]
The operation in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 26 is a sequence diagram for explaining the operation of the present embodiment. Since the operation (steps 1 to 32) until the display control unit 72 displays the surface of all the cards in the above embodiment is the same, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The AI processing unit 103 inputs the identification information of the provided card determined by the provided card determination unit 103 and the identification information of the card provided to the player, and determines whether or not each card provided to the player is advantageous in the progress of the game. (Step 41). If there is a card that is advantageous in the progress of the game, the AI processing unit 103 transmits a determination result including the identification information of the card to the player terminal 2 via the communication unit 93.

Upon receiving the determination result from the game server 3, the effect unit 75 displays the second effect image (step 42).

According to the present embodiment, since the effect that the card acquired by the player is advantageous in the progress of the game is performed, the interest is improved.

[Modification example]
In the fourth embodiment, the effect image is displayed as the second effect, but the effect method may be another method. For example, the effect sound may be prepared in advance instead of the effect image, and the effect sound may be output from the sound output unit 52. In addition, instead of the directing image, the directing vibration may be used for directing. Further, in the present invention, the effect image, the effect sound, and the effect vibration may be combined.
