It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to these examples, and is indicated by the scope of claims, and it is intended that all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of claims are included in the present invention. To. In the following description, the same elements will be designated by the same reference numerals in the description of the drawings, and duplicate description will not be repeated.

<Hardware configuration of game system 1>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration of the game system 1. As shown in the figure, the game system 1 includes a plurality of user terminals 100 and a server 200. Each user terminal 100 connects to the server 200 via the network 2. The network 2 is composed of various mobile communication systems constructed by the Internet and a radio base station (not shown). Examples of this mobile communication system include so-called 3G and 4G mobile communication systems, LTE (Long Term Evolution), and wireless networks (for example, Wi-Fi (registered trademark)) that can be connected to the Internet by a predetermined access point. Can be mentioned.

The server 200 (computer, information processing device) may be a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or a personal computer. The server 200 includes a processor 20, a memory 21, a storage 22, a communication IF 23, and an input / output IF 24. These configurations of the server 200 are electrically connected to each other by a communication bus.

The user terminal 100 (computer, information processing device) may be a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, a feature phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or a tablet computer. The user terminal 100 may be a game device suitable for game play. As shown in the figure, the user terminal 100 includes a processor 10, a memory 11, a storage 12, a communication interface (IF) 13, an input / output IF 14, a touch screen 15 (display unit), a camera 17, and a distance measuring sensor 18. And prepare. These configurations included in the user terminal 100 are electrically connected to each other by a communication bus. The user terminal 100 may be provided with an input / output IF 14 to which a display (display unit) configured separately from the user terminal 100 main body can be connected in place of or in addition to the touch screen 15.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may be configured to be communicable with one or more controllers 1020. The controller 1020 establishes communication with the user terminal 100, for example, in accordance with a communication standard such as Bluetooth®. The controller 1020 may have one or more buttons or the like, and transmits an output value based on a user's input operation to the buttons or the like to the user terminal 100. Further, the controller 1020 may have various sensors such as an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor, and transmits the output values of the various sensors to the user terminal 100.

In addition, instead of or in addition to the user terminal 100 including the camera 17 and the range finder 18, the controller 1020 may have the camera 17 and the range finder 18.

It is desirable that the user terminal 100 causes a user who uses the controller 1020 to input user identification information such as the user's name or login ID via the controller 1020, for example, at the start of a game. As a result, the user terminal 100 can associate the controller 1020 with the user, and identifies which user the output value belongs to based on the source of the received output value (controller 1020). be able to.

When the user terminal 100 communicates with a plurality of controllers 1020, each user holds each controller 1020 so that the user terminal 100 does not communicate with other devices such as the server 200 via the network 2. Multiplayer can be realized with. In addition, each user terminal 100 communicates with each other according to a wireless standard such as a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) standard (communication connection is made without going through a server 200), thereby realizing local multiplayer with a plurality of user terminals 100. You can also do it. When the above-mentioned multiplayer is realized locally by one user terminal 100, the user terminal 100 may further include at least a part of various functions described later described in the server 200. Further, when the above-mentioned multiplayer is realized locally by a plurality of user terminals 100, the plurality of user terminals 100 may be provided with various functions described later described in the server 200 in a distributed manner.

Even when the above-mentioned multiplayer is realized locally, the user terminal 100 may communicate with the server 200. For example, information indicating a play result such as a result or a win or loss in a certain game may be associated with user identification information and transmitted to the server 200.

Further, the controller 1020 may be configured to be removable from the user terminal 100. In this case, a coupling portion with the controller 1020 may be provided on at least one surface of the housing of the user terminal 100. When the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 are connected by wire via the coupling portion, the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 transmit and receive signals via the wire.

As shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may accept the attachment of a storage medium 1030 such as an external memory card via the input / output IF 14. As a result, the user terminal 100 can read the program and data recorded in the storage medium 1030. The program recorded on the storage medium 1030 is, for example, a game program.

The user terminal 100 may store the game program acquired by communicating with an external device such as the server 200 in the memory 11 of the user terminal 100, or may store the game program acquired by reading from the storage medium 1030 in the memory 11. You may memorize it in.

As described above, the user terminal 100 includes a communication IF 13, an input / output IF 14, a touch screen 15, a camera 17, and a range finder 18 as an example of a mechanism for inputting information to the user terminal 100. Each of the above-mentioned parts as an input mechanism can be regarded as an operation part configured to accept a user's input operation.

For example, when the operation unit is configured by at least one of the camera 17 and the range finder 18, the operation unit detects an object 1010 in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 and performs an input operation from the detection result of the object. Identify. As an example, a user's hand as an object 1010, a marker having a predetermined shape, or the like is detected, and an input operation is specified based on the color, shape, movement, or type of the object 1010 obtained as a detection result. To. More specifically, when the user's hand is detected from the captured image of the camera 17, the user terminal 100 inputs a gesture (a series of movements of the user's hand) detected based on the captured image. Specify and accept as. The captured image may be a still image or a moving image.

Alternatively, when the operation unit is composed of the touch screen 15, the user terminal 100 identifies and accepts the user's operation performed on the input unit 151 of the touch screen 15 as the user's input operation. Alternatively, when the operation unit is configured by the communication IF 13, the user terminal 100 identifies and accepts a signal (as an example, an output value) transmitted from the controller 1020 as an input operation of the user. Alternatively, when the operation unit is composed of the input / output IF14, a signal output from an input device (not shown) different from the controller 1020 connected to the input / output IF14 is specified as an input operation of the user and received.

<Hardware components of each device>
The processor 10 controls the operation of the entire user terminal 100. The processor 20 controls the operation of the entire server 200. Processors 10 and 20 include a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), and a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).

The processor 10 reads a program from the storage 12 described later and expands it into the memory 11 described later. The processor 20 reads a program from the storage 22 described later and expands it into the memory 21 described later. Processor 10 and processor 20 execute the expanded program.

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

In the present embodiment, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game in collaboration with the user terminal 100 and the server 200. The game realized by the collaboration between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be, for example, a game executed on a browser started on the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game in collaboration with a plurality of user terminals 100. Further, the various data include data related to the game such as user information and game information, and instructions or notifications to be transmitted / received between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 or between a plurality of user terminals 100.

The storages 12 and 22 are auxiliary storage devices. The storages 12 and 22 are composed of a storage device such as a flash memory or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). Various data related to the game are stored in the storage 12 and the storage 22.

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

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

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

The input unit 151 detects a position where a user's operation (mainly a physical contact operation such as a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, and a tap operation) is input to the input surface, and inputs information indicating the position. It has a function to transmit as a signal. The input unit 151 may include a touch sensing unit (not shown). The touch sensing unit may adopt any method such as a capacitance method or a resistance film method.

Although not shown, the user terminal 100 may include one or more sensors for specifying the holding posture of the user terminal 100. This sensor may be, for example, an acceleration sensor, an angular velocity sensor, or the like. When the user terminal 100 includes a sensor, the processor 10 can also specify the holding posture of the user terminal 100 from the output of the sensor and perform processing according to the holding posture. For example, the processor 10 may be a vertical screen display in which a vertically long image is displayed on the display unit 152 when the user terminal 100 is held vertically. On the other hand, when the user terminal 100 is held horizontally, it may be a horizontal screen display in which a horizontally long image is displayed on the display unit. In this way, the processor 10 may be able to switch between the vertical screen display and the horizontal screen display according to the holding posture of the user terminal 100.

The camera 17 includes an image sensor and the like, and generates a captured image by converting the incident light incident from the lens into an electric signal.

The range finder 18 is a sensor that measures the distance to the object to be measured. The rangefinder sensor 18 includes, for example, a light source that emits pulse-converted light and a light receiving element that receives the light. The distance measuring sensor 18 measures the distance to the object to be measured by the timing of light emission from the light source and the timing of receiving the reflected light generated by the light emitted from the light source being reflected by the object to be measured. The rangefinder sensor 18 may have a light source that emits light having directivity.

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

The processor 10 may perform one or more of the processes shown in the following (1) to (5), for example, on the captured image of the camera 17. (1) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to specify whether or not the captured image includes a user's hand. The processor 10 may use, for example, a technique such as pattern matching as the analysis technique adopted in the above-mentioned image recognition process. (2) Further, the processor 10 detects the user's gesture from the shape of the user's hand. The processor 10 specifies, for example, the number of fingers of the user (the number of extended fingers) from the shape of the user's hand detected from the captured image. The processor 10 further identifies the gesture performed by the user from the number of identified fingers. For example, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a "par" gesture when the number of fingers is five. Further, when the number of fingers is 0 (the finger is not detected), the processor 10 determines that the user has made a “goo” gesture. Further, when the number of fingers is two, the processor 10 determines that the user has performed the "choki" gesture. (3) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to detect whether the user's finger is in a state where only the index finger is raised or whether the user's finger is repelled. .. (4) The processor 10 is an object 1010 in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 (as an example, a user) based on at least one of the image recognition result of the captured image of the camera 17 and the output value of the distance measuring sensor 18. The distance between the user terminal 100 and the user terminal 100 is detected. For example, the processor 10 may have the user's hand near the user terminal 100 (for example, a distance less than a predetermined value) or far away (for example, depending on the size of the shape of the user's hand identified from the captured image of the camera 17). Detects whether the distance is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. When the captured image is a moving image, the processor 10 may detect whether the user's hand is approaching or moving away from the user terminal 100. (5) When it is found that the distance between the user terminal 100 and the user's hand is changing while the user's hand is detected based on the image recognition result of the captured image of the camera 17, the processor 10 recognizes that the user is waving his hand in the shooting direction of the camera 17. When an object is detected or not detected in the distance measuring sensor 18 having a stronger directivity than the shooting range of the camera 17, the processor 10 determines that the user is waving his hand in a direction orthogonal to the shooting direction of the camera. recognize.

In this way, the processor 10 determines whether or not the user is holding a hand (whether it is a “goo” gesture or another gesture (for example, “par”) by recognizing an image captured by the camera 17. Or) is detected. In addition, the processor 10 detects the shape of the user's hand and how the user is moving the hand. In addition, the processor 10 detects whether the user is approaching or moving this hand toward or away from the user terminal 100. Such an operation can correspond to an operation using a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch panel, for example. For example, the user terminal 100 moves the pointer on the touch screen 15 in response to the movement of the user's hand, and detects the user's gesture “goo”. In this case, the user terminal 100 recognizes that the user is continuing the selection operation. The continuation of the selection operation corresponds to, for example, the state in which the mouse is clicked and pressed, or the state in which the mouse is touched after the touch-down operation is performed on the touch panel. Further, when the user moves his / her hand while the user's gesture "goo" is detected, the user terminal 100 performs such a series of gestures as an operation corresponding to a swipe operation (or a drag operation). You can also recognize it. Further, when the user terminal 100 detects a gesture that the user flips a finger based on the detection result of the user's hand by the image taken by the camera 17, the gesture is clicked by the mouse or tapped on the touch panel. It may be recognized as an operation corresponding to.

<Game overview>
The game system 1 includes a system for giving an object (for example, a character, an item, etc.) that can be used in a game based on a game program to a user, and a lottery for determining an object to be given to the user from a plurality of types of objects. The process can be executed. Further, the lottery process includes a lottery process in which an object to be given to a user is randomly determined from a plurality of types of objects (hereinafter, also referred to as a normal lottery), and a predetermined number selected from a plurality of types of objects (as an example). A lottery process (hereinafter, also referred to as a selection lottery) that is randomly determined from the objects of 10) is included.

In addition to specifying a predetermined number of objects in the selection lottery by a selection operation from the user (hereinafter, also referred to as designated selection), an index for comparing between a plurality of types of objects (as an example, ranking, ranking). It can be specified from multiple types of objects (hereinafter also referred to as recommended selection) based on (table, etc.). The index used at the time of recommended selection in the selection lottery is to accumulate usage information about the objects actually used in the game played by each of the plurality of users, and each of the plurality of types of objects calculated from the accumulated usage information. It is generated based on the usage rate or win rate of. The given object is stored in the memory in association with the user who has performed the lottery process, and can be used in the subsequent game play.

Objects given to the user by the lottery process include, for example, characters that can be used in the game, items that are used in association with the characters, and the like. Items used in association with a character include, for example, items such as weapons and armor used in association with a character, items of equipment (for example, rackets, shoes, bats, spikes, etc.), special attacks, and recovery. , A skill that changes the state of an object such as a character, or the like.

Rarity is set for each of the plurality of types of objects. Rarity is a kind of game parameter that numerically expresses the rarity of an object in a game. The higher the rarity of an object, the higher the rarity (also called rarity) of the character in the game, and the higher the degree (advantage) of increasing the user's advantage when used for game play. Means. For the rarity of the object in the present disclosure, for example, any rank of S, A, B, and C is defined. Hereinafter, objects having S, A, B, and C rank rarities are also simply referred to as S, A, B, and C rank objects (for example, characters, armor, items, etc.). In the present embodiment, the height of rarity has a relationship of S> A> B> C. The higher the rarity of an object, the smaller the number of objects contained in multiple types of objects in order to increase the rarity. In other words, the higher the rarity of an object, the less likely it is that the user will be able to acquire that object by normal lottery. On the other hand, in the selection lottery, a predetermined number of objects to be drawn are specified based on the selection operation and the index from the user, so that there is a high possibility that an object having a higher rarity than the normal lottery can be acquired. obtain. In addition, the higher the rarity of the object, the higher the degree of advantage, and therefore the higher the value of the object in the game. For example, the higher the rarity of an object, the higher the performance of the object. The rarity may be expressed by the number of stars, and the larger the number of stars, the higher the rarity.

Further, one of a plurality of attributes is associated with a plurality of types of objects. The attribute is, for example, in the case of a character appearing in a tennis game, the type of court that the character is good at (in other words, the ratio of being able to demonstrate the character's ability is high and the compatibility is good) (as an example, hard, If it is a character that appears in baseball (glass, clay), the pitcher's dominant arm (for example, left throw, right throw) that the character is good at, and the ball type that the character is good at (for example, fork) , Curves, sinkers, etc.).

The game executed by the game system 1 (hereinafter, this game) is not limited to a specific genre, and may be a game of any genre. For example, sports-themed games such as tennis, table tennis, dodgeball, baseball, soccer and hockey, puzzle games, quiz games, RPGs, adventure games, shooting games, simulation games, training games, and action games. May be good. Hereinafter, as an example, this game will be described as being a puzzle game that can be played in stage units in which predetermined achievement conditions are set. Details of the game content will be described later.

Further, this game is not limited to a specific play form, and may be a game of any play form. For example, a single-player game by a single user, a multi-play game by a plurality of users, a battle game in which a plurality of users play against each other, and a cooperative play game in which a plurality of users cooperate among the multi-play games. You may.

The lottery icon 413 is not displayed when the 10 lottery candidate characters are not specified, and is displayed in a state where the 10 lottery candidate characters are specified and the lottery is possible. May be good.

<Selection lottery processing flow>
The flow of the selection lottery in one embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6A is a flowchart showing the flow of the ranking generation process for generating the ranking, and FIG. 6B is a lottery of 10 characters from a plurality of types of characters based on the generated ranking. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of the selection lottery process which identifies a candidate character and grants one of them to a user by lottery. All of the processes shown in FIG. 6 are executed on the server 200 side.

In step S01 in the ranking generation process of FIG. 6A, it is determined whether or not a certain period of time has elapsed. The control unit 210 accumulates usage information from each user over the fixed period. The fixed period may be a fixed period such as one month, or may be a period in which characters to be drawn are newly added / updated. When it is determined that a certain period of time has passed, the process proceeds to step S02, the usage rate / winning rate of each of the plurality of types of characters is calculated according to the usage information accumulated during the certain period, and a ranking is generated. Specifically, the control unit 210 calculates the usage rate and the winning rate of each of the plurality of types of characters from the usage information of each user stored as the user information 133 in the storage unit 220, and ranks based on the calculated usage rate. And a ranking based on the winning percentage. After that, in the recommended selection performed until a certain period elapses again, the ranking generated in step S02 is used. If it is not determined in step S01 that a certain period of time has elapsed, the ranking generation process is terminated without newly generating the ranking.

Next, in step S03 in the selection lottery process of FIG. 6B, it is determined whether or not the operation information for the recommended selection icon 410 has been received. When it is determined that the operation information of the recommended selection icon 410 has been received by the input operation to the recommended selection icon 410 from the user, the process proceeds to step S04. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the operation information of the recommended selection icon 410 has been received, the process proceeds to step S05. In step S04, it is determined whether or not the attribute has been selected. The operation information of the recommended selection icon 410 transmitted from the user terminal 100 includes information for specifying the attribute selected when the recommended selection icon 410 is operated, and the attribute is selected based on the information. It is determined whether or not it was done. If it is not determined that the attribute has been selected, the process proceeds to S06. On the other hand, when it is determined that the attribute has been selected, the process proceeds to step S07.

In step S06, based on the ranking generated in step S02, the top 10 characters excluding the character owned by the user are specified from among a plurality of types of characters, and the character that is the lottery candidate is selected as the user terminal 100. Outputs display information to enable display in. The user terminal 100 displays the top 10 characters in the ranking on the lottery candidate character display unit 403 based on the display information. The ranking referred to in step S06 is switched between the ranking based on the usage rate and the ranking based on the winning rate for each operation of the recommended selection. For example, when the recommended selection is operated an odd number of times, the ranking is based on the usage rate, and when the recommended selection is operated an even number of times, the ranking is based on the winning percentage. The operation information of the recommended selection icon 410 is for specifying whether the recommended selection is based on the usage rate (for example, the odd-numbered operation) or the recommended selection based on the winning percentage (for example, the even-numbered operation). Information is included, and in step S06, based on the information, it is specified whether the top 10 bodies are based on the usage rate or the top 10 bodies based on the winning rate.

On the other hand, in step S07, the top 10 characters excluding the character owned by the user are specified from among the characters of the attribute selected from the plurality of types of characters based on the ranking, and the display information is output. The user terminal 100 receives the display information and displays the top 10 characters based on the ranking and the selected attribute on the lottery candidate character display unit 403. In step S07 as well, as in step S06, the top 10 bodies based on the usage rate or the top 10 bodies based on the winning rate are specified based on the operation information of the recommended selection icon 410. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the operation information of the recommended icon 410 has been received, the process proceeds to step S05.

In step S05, it is determined whether or not the character identification information for identifying the designated character has been received by the selection operation from the user. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5C, it is determined whether the tap operation for a plurality of types of characters has been accepted. When it is determined that the character identification information has been received, the process proceeds to step S08. If it is not determined that the character identification information has been received, the process proceeds to step S09.

In step S08, the character selected and designated by the user based on the character identification information is specified as a lottery candidate, and the process returns to step S03. Specifically, every time a character is designated by a user, character identification information is received, and by receiving character identification information 10 times, 10 characters to be designated and selected are specified. Even if the character is specified in step S08 by the designated selection, when it is determined in step S03 that the operation information of the recommended selection icon 410 has been received, 10 characters are specified based on the ranking in steps S06 and S07. Since it is redone, the character specified in step S08 is reset. Specifically, when the user operates the recommended selection icon 410 after designating a character by designated selection, all the designated selected characters are canceled, and the top 10 characters based on the ranking are selected by the lottery candidate character display unit. It is displayed on 403. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the operation information of the recommended selection icon 410 has been received, the process proceeds to step S05, and if it is determined that the character identification information has not been received, the process proceeds to step S09.

In step S09, it is determined whether or not the operation information of the lottery icon 413 has been received. The operation information of the lottery icon 413 is transmitted from the user terminal 100 when the operation to the lottery icon 413 is accepted in a state where 10 characters are specified. When it is determined that the operation information has been received, the process proceeds to step S10. If it is not determined that the operation information has been received, the process returns to step S03. In step S10, a character determined by lottery from the specified 10 lottery candidate characters is given to the user. The winning probabilities of each of the 10 characters in the lottery differ based on the ranking (for example, the winning probabilities are biased based on the ranking. Specifically, the higher the ranking, the higher the probability, or the lower the ranking, the higher the winning probability. It may be (probability) or even (for example, 10%) regardless of the ranking. The winning probability in the normal lottery, which is different from the selection lottery, may be different based on the ranking within the range where the rarity (rareness) of the character does not change, and regardless of the ranking, it may be different in advance. It may be a predetermined probability.

<Effect of this embodiment>
According to the above embodiment, as shown in the ranking generation process of FIG. 6A, a ranking based on the usage rate and a ranking based on the winning rate are generated based on the usage information from each user accumulated in a certain period. do. Further, at the time of recommended selection in the selection lottery, as shown in step S06 or the like in FIG. 6B, the top 10 characters from a plurality of types of characters are specified as lottery candidates based on the generated ranking, and the step is performed. As shown in S10, a character to be given to the user is determined from the specified 10 characters. In this way, since the top 10 characters are presented as lottery candidates in the ranking based on the actual usage information, it becomes easy for the user to determine whether or not to execute the lottery. In addition, it is possible to proceed to the lottery without worrying about the user's anxiety. Also, when making a recommended selection, 10 characters are automatically identified, so there is no need for the user to specify and select, and he is wondering (or not knowing) which character to specify. ) Does not cause anxiety.

Further, as shown in steps S07 and the like in FIGS. 5 (a), 5 (b), and 6 (a), when an attribute is selected by the user, the actual characters corresponding to the attribute are actually selected. The top 10 characters in the ranking based on usage information are presented as lottery candidates. As a result, the characters that are ranked higher among the attributes desired by the user can be drawn by lottery, so that the intention of the user can be reflected in the lottery and the convenience can be improved.

Further, in the selection lottery in the present embodiment, not only the recommended selection automatically selected based on the ranking but also 10 bodies can be specified by the user as shown in FIGS. 5 (c) and 5 (d). You can also make a designated selection to select a character that is a candidate for lottery. As a result, regardless of the accumulated usage information and ranking, the user's favorite character can be included in the lottery candidate, and the fun of the game can be improved.

Further, the recommended selection cannot be executed when the number of a plurality of types of characters is less than a specific number, and can be executed when the number of a plurality of types of characters is a specific number or more. As a result, when the number of characters of multiple types is relatively small and the user does not cause much anxiety by designating and selecting the characters, the character is selected according to the user's intention to improve the awareness of participation in the lottery. Can be done, and it is possible to prevent rut.

Further, as shown in step S10 of FIG. 6B, the winning probabilities of each of the 10 characters in the lottery differ based on the ranking (for example, the higher the rank, the higher the probability, or the lower the rank, the higher the probability). (High probability), that is, when the character to be given to the user is determined based on the ranking, the accumulated usage information can be effectively used and reflected in the lottery.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3B and the like, among a plurality of types of characters that are not owned by the user, the characters that are in the top 10 in the ranking are specified as lottery candidates. This leads to giving various characters to the user for use, and as a result, the game utilization rate can be improved. Further, even if the character is designed so as not to be owned in duplicate, it is possible to prevent the disadvantage of not being able to own the character determined by the lottery.

Further, the ranking for identifying the characters that are candidates for the 10 lottery includes the ranking based on the usage rate (example of usage frequency) of the characters used by a plurality of users. As a result, the user can increase the possibility of owning a character with a high usage rate, and the user's interest in the game can be improved.

According to the present embodiment, the ranking for identifying 10 characters that are candidates for lottery includes a ranking based on the winning percentage of the characters used by the user (an example of the frequency of advantageous results). As a result, the user can increase the possibility of owning a character having a high winning rate, and the user's interest in the game can be improved.

According to the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 (b), (c), 5 (b), and (d), the 10 specified characters that are candidates for lottery are displayed, and the usage rate is determined. Or it is displayed that it was specified based on the winning percentage or that it was specified and selected by the user himself. By doing so, it becomes clear what the selected 10 characters were selected based on, and it becomes easy for the user to determine whether or not to execute the lottery. In addition, the user can draw lots with the selected character without hesitation.

<Modification example>
Modifications of the embodiments described above are listed below.

(1) In the above embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 4 (b), an embodiment of displaying 10 characters specified by the recommended selection is illustrated. However, as long as the user can grasp the 10 characters specified by the recommended selection, the mode is not limited to displaying the 10 characters. For example, by performing the recommended selection operation in the display state of FIG. 4 (a), as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the 10 characters specified based on the ranking can be distinguished from other characters. By switching to the screen displayed in such a way that it stands out, the user may be able to grasp it. Further, by performing the recommended selection operation in the display state of FIG. 4 (a), as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the 10 characters specified based on the ranking are given priority over the other characters. (For example, the user may be able to grasp the screen by switching to the screen displayed in (for example, giving priority to the display order and higher). By doing so, it becomes a guideline for character selection, and it becomes easy for the user to select a character even if a large number of characters are presented.

In addition, in FIG. 7, an example in which the top 10 characters are surrounded by an emphasis frame (black frame in FIG. 7) based on the ranking has been described as a mode to make them stand out, but the mode to make them stand out is not limited to these. It suffices if the character and the non-target character can be displayed in a manner that can be distinguished. For example, the target character may be made to stand out by making it shine, or the target character may be made to stand out by blinking. Characters such as "ranking high" and "ranking first" may be displayed to make them stand out.

Further, when the top 10 characters based on the ranking can be grasped in the manners shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b), the figure is shown from the time when the selection lottery is started without requiring the recommended selection operation. The character group may be displayed in a manner such as 7 (a) and 7 (b) that makes it possible to grasp the recommended character. Further, at the time of the selection lottery in the above embodiment, the screen shown in FIG. 4A is displayed, and by accepting the recommended selection operation, the screen transitions to the screen in which 10 characters are displayed as shown in FIG. 4B. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 4B, the recommended selection operation is not required from the start of the selection lottery (for example, when the operation for starting the selection lottery is accepted). 10 characters may be displayed.

(2) In the recommended selection in the above embodiment, an example of specifying the top 10 characters in the ranking excluding the characters owned by the user as lottery candidates based on the ranking and the character information owned by the user has been described. However, the top 10 characters may be specified as lottery candidates regardless of whether or not they are owned by the user, based on the ranking, without referring to the character information owned by the user. As a result, it becomes possible to own objects (including characters) in duplicate, and it is possible to provide fun such as being able to improve the degree of advantage of the objects by overlapping.

(3) In the above embodiment, when the operation information of the recommended selection icon 410 is received in the state where the user has specified and selected a character, the specified and selected character is canceled and the character is switched to the specified character based on the ranking. I explained the example. However, when the operation information of the recommended selection icon 410 is received while the user has specified and selected a character, the remaining number of characters up to 10 is specified based on the ranking while maintaining the specified and selected character. You may do so. In this case, in step S06 and step S07, the remaining number of up to 10 characters is calculated, and the remaining number of characters is specified based on the ranking. For example, when the operation information of the recommended selection icon 410 is received while three characters are specified by the designated selection, seven characters, which is the remaining number up to ten, are calculated and the seven characters are selected. It may be specified based on the ranking.

(4) In the above embodiment, when the number of characters of a plurality of types to be drawn is less than a specific number, the recommended selection cannot be made, and the number of characters of a plurality of types to be a lottery is a specific number or more. I explained an example where you can make a recommended selection. However, in the recommended selection, if the number of characters not owned by the user is less than the specified number among the multiple types of characters to be drawn, the recommended selection cannot be performed and the number of characters not owned by the user is more than the specified number. If this is the case, you may be able to make a recommended selection. For example, even if the number of characters of a plurality of types is a specific number (for example, 17) or more, if the number of characters not owned by the user is less than the specific number, the recommended selection may not be possible. .. Further, the specific number is a number that does not relate to the number of objects specified in the recommended selection, but is the same number as the number of objects specified in the recommended selection (for example, 10), or a number larger than the number of the objects (for example, 17). ) Etc. may be used.

(5) In the above embodiment, as shown in steps S03 to S07 of FIG. 6B, each recommended selection operation is based on the recommended selection time based on the usage rate (for example, the odd-numbered operation) or the winning rate. An example of specifying 10 characters at the time of recommended selection (for example, even-numbered operation) and depending on whether or not the attribute is selected has been described. However, at the time of the first recommended selection operation, for example, the top 10 bodies in a total of 8 ways based on the usage rate and win rate of each of all attributes, hard clay, and glass are specified, and information that can identify these is transmitted to the user terminal 100. It may be something to do. In this case, the user terminal 100 displays 10 characters specified based on the information already received at the subsequent recommended selection operation, and is displayed at that timing when the lottery operation is performed. Information that can identify the character of the body may be transmitted to the server 200 side, and the character to be given to the user from the 10 characters may be determined on the server 200 side.

Further, an example of specifying a predetermined number of objects recommended on the server 200 side at the time of the selection lottery in the above embodiment has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and ranking information capable of specifying the generated ranking is transmitted to the user terminal 100. , The user terminal 100 may specify a predetermined number of objects recommended at the time of selection lottery based on the ranking information. In this case, in the user terminal 100, 10 characters are specified and displayed based on the ranking information already received at the time of the recommended selection operation, and 10 characters are displayed at that timing when the lottery operation is performed. Information that can identify the character may be transmitted to the server 200 side, and the character to be given to the user may be determined from the 10 characters on the server 200 side.

(6) In the above embodiment, an example of calculating the usage rate and the winning rate for each character based on the usage information and generating the ranking based on the usage rate and the winning rate has been described. However, the ranking used to identify a predetermined number of objects is not limited to those based on items such as usage rate and win rate, but other items (for example, total score, score rate, super shot decision rate, character's). It may be based on the ownership rate, etc.). For example, the usage information transmitted from the user terminal 100 includes information that can specify the score obtained by using the character for each character, and the server 200 side obtains the total score for each character based on the usage information. The score, the score rate, and the decision rate of the super shot may be calculated to generate a ranking based on the total score, the score rate, and the decision rate of the super shot, and a predetermined number of objects may be specified.

(7) The selection lottery in the above embodiment is executed when, for example, a specific condition (for example, ranking in a higher rank in a game event, increasing the level by 10 or the like) is satisfied by advancing the game. It may be a lottery that becomes possible, or it may be a lottery that becomes feasible when a predetermined period has passed (for example, every month).

(8) The plurality of types of characters to be drawn in the selective lottery in the above embodiment may be the same as the plurality of types of characters to be drawn in the normal lottery, and the plurality of types of characters to be drawn in the normal lottery. It may be different from. For example, the plurality of types of characters to be drawn in the selective lottery may be characters that have passed a predetermined period (for example, one year since they were released) after being targeted for the lottery in the normal lottery, or may be characters in the normal lottery. It may be a character with a high degree of rarity among a plurality of types of characters to be drawn.

(9) In the above embodiment, examples of hard, clay, and glass have been described for the attributes. However, fire, water, wind, earth, wood, light, darkness, etc. may be used as attributes, and occupation types such as warriors, wizards, monks, and sages may be used as attributes, such as swords, spears, and bows. , The type of weapon such as a large sword may be used as an attribute. The attributes are not limited to these and are set as appropriate.
