Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

(Configuration of game system)
An overview of a game system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The game system 1 includes a server device 10 and one or more terminal devices 20 . Although three terminal devices 20 are illustrated in FIG. 1 for the sake of simplicity, the number of terminal devices 20 may be determined arbitrarily.

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

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

(Overview of the game)
An overview of the game according to this embodiment will be described. A game according to this embodiment includes one or more game parts. At least one game part of the one or more game parts may be executed using game content, which will be described later. During execution of a game part, the game media may be manipulated by a user or AI (Artificial Intelligence), for example. AI may be realized by a processor provided in the server device 10 or the terminal device 20, for example.

Game media are electronic data used in games, such as cards, items, virtual currency, tickets, characters, avatars, level information, status information, parameter information (physical strength, attack power, etc.), and ability information. (skills, abilities, spells, jobs, etc.), including any medium. Game media are electronic data that can be acquired, owned, used, managed, exchanged, combined, enhanced, sold, discarded, or gifted by the user in the game. It is not limited to what is specified.

Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, "game media owned by a user" refers to game media associated with a user ID that uniquely identifies the user. Also, "providing game media to the user" means associating the game media with the user ID. Also, "destroy the game content owned by the user" indicates canceling the correspondence between the user ID and the game content. Also, "consuming game content owned by the user" indicates that some kind of effect or influence can be exerted in the game according to the cancellation of the correspondence between the user ID and the game content. Also, "selling game media owned by the user" means canceling the association between the user ID and the game media and associating the user ID with other game media (for example, virtual currency, items, etc.). indicates Further, "to transfer the game media owned by user A to user B" means to cancel the correspondence between the user ID of user A and the game media, and to associate the game media with the user ID of user B. indicates Also, "creating game content" indicates defining or determining at least part of information about game content.

A game part may include any content playable by a user within a game. For example, the game part includes quests, missions, mini-games, obtaining, training, strengthening, and synthesizing game media, exploring virtual space, and interacting with opponents (for example, other users, enemy characters, enemy buildings, etc.). may include content such as a match between One or more predetermined game tasks may be set for each game part. When it is determined that one or more game tasks set in the game part played by the user have been successfully achieved, the user may be rewarded with, for example, game media. The game tasks include, for example, a task of winning a match against an enemy character, a task of reaching a goal point in the virtual space, and a task that the user's character is in a predetermined state (for example, a soundness degree to be described later) until a predetermined time elapses. is zero) can be adopted according to the content of the game part. Further, the achievement of a specific game task (clearing task) among one or more game tasks set for the game part is also referred to as clearing the game part. When the user who plays the game part succeeds in achieving the clear task, the game part may be determined to have been cleared and the game part may end.

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

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

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

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

(Information about the user)
The server storage unit 12 stores information regarding multiple users. FIG. 2 shows information about one user. Information about a user may include any information and data specific to that user. For example, user information includes a user ID, user parameters, game content information, and history data. In the user information, user parameters, game content information, and history data are each associated with a user ID.

A user ID is information that can uniquely identify a user. Hereinafter, the user ID will be simply referred to as a user.

User parameters may include any parameters used when a game is played by a user. For example, the user parameters include rank, ownership limit, and deck capacity.

A rank is a parameter that indicates a user's proficiency or playing experience with a game. In this embodiment, the rank value may increase as the user plays the game. The higher the rank, the higher the user's proficiency with the game or the longer the playing experience.

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

Deck capacity is a parameter used to limit the game content that can be included in one deck. A single deck can contain one or more game media used in a game part. A "cost" parameter, which will be described later, is set in the game media. One or more arbitrary game media owned by the user in the game can be included in the deck as long as the total cost of each game media included in the deck is equal to or less than the deck capacity. be. Here, an upper limit number n of game contents that can be included in one deck may be determined. In such a case, a maximum of n game media owned by the user in the game can be included in the deck as long as the total cost of each game media included in the deck is equal to or less than the deck capacity. is. For example, deck capacity may increase as rank increases.

User parameters are not limited to the examples described above. For example, the user parameter may include information indicating one or more game parts that are permitted to be played by the user, among multiple game parts included in the game. Game parts that require user permission to play may include, for example, a multiplayer game part, a game part for synthesizing game content, and a game part for chatting with other users. For example, when a user's rank reaches a predetermined value, more game parts may be allowed for the user to play.

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

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

A level is information indicating the degree of growth of a game medium. For example, the higher the level value, the higher the degree of growth of the game medium. In this embodiment, the level may increase as the user who owns the game media plays the game.

The rarity level is information indicating the degree of rarity of the game media. For example, the higher the rarity value, the higher the degree of rarity of the game medium. The rarity level may increase as the user plays the game. For example, the upper limit of the level may increase as the rarity increases.

Cost is a parameter used in conjunction with deck capacity, described above, to limit the amount of game content that can be included in a single deck. For example, the cost may increase with increasing level or rarity.

The soundness level is a parameter that indicates the degree of deterioration of the game media. For example, in a game part in which a game medium competes with another game medium as an opponent, the soundness of the game medium can decrease when the game medium is attacked by the opponent. When the soundness level decreases to a predetermined value (for example, zero), arbitrary processing that is disadvantageous in terms of the game is performed on the game content. The process may include, for example, a process of temporarily prohibiting execution of an action by the game medium, a process of temporarily erasing the game medium from the virtual space, a process of changing the data of the game medium, and the like. Therefore, the higher the soundness of the game media, the more advantageous it is for the user. For example, health may increase as level or rarity increases.

The attack power is a parameter used to determine the amount of damage given to the opponent by the attack of the game media. The higher the attack power value, the greater the amount of damage dealt to the opponent. The opponent's health level is reduced by the amount of damage. Therefore, the greater the offensive power of the game media, the more advantageous it is for the user. For example, attack power may increase as level or rarity increases.

Information about game media is not limited to the examples described above. For example, information about game media may include attributes set for the game media. Attributes are information indicating attributes of game media. The attributes may include a plurality of first attributes (for example, fire attributes, wood attributes, water attributes, etc.) that indicate superiority or inferiority between game media in which battles are performed. At least one first attribute among the plurality of first attributes is associated with one game content. For example, fire-attribute game media deal more damage to wood-attribute game media than normal, and deal less damage to water-attribute game media. Thus, for example, the fire attribute is advantageous to the wood attribute and disadvantageous to the water attribute. The attributes may include a plurality of second attributes (for example, attack attributes, recovery attributes, balance attributes, etc.) that do not affect the superiority or inferiority of competing game media. At least one second attribute among the plurality of second attributes is associated with one game content. Therefore, for example, there may be one game medium whose first attribute is fire attribute and whose second attribute is attack attribute.

(Historical data)
The historical data shown in FIG. 2 may include any data relating to the history of games played by the user. For example, historical data includes login history and event history.

A login history may include any data relating to the history in which the game's applications have been launched. For example, the login history includes the date when the user first started the application of the game using the terminal device 20 (first start date), the number of days elapsed from the first start date to the present, application, the total number of days during that period, and the frequency with which the game application was started.

Event history may include any data relating to one or more events that have occurred within a game over a period of time in the past. Holding an event may include, for example, allowing at least some of the users who satisfy a predetermined condition to play the event. For example, the event history may include the success or failure of the user in achieving predetermined game tasks set in the event, points, scores, titles, and the like earned by the user in the event.

The server control unit 13 shown in FIG. 1 includes one or more processors. Processors may include general-purpose processors and special-purpose processors specialized for specific processes. The server control unit 13 controls the operation of the server device 10 as a whole. An example of the operation of the server control unit 13 will be specifically described below.

The server control unit 13 stores various information and programs used for game processing in the server storage unit 12 . The information used for game processing may include the above-described information about the user, information about the game content, and the like.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Terminal control unit 25 includes one or more processors. The terminal control unit 25 controls the operation of the terminal device 20 as a whole. An example of the operation of the terminal control unit 25 will be specifically described below.

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

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

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

The terminal control unit 25a of the first terminal device 20a of the first user transmits the first request to the server device 10, for example, according to the user's operation or automatically. The first user is a user who has already installed the game application on his terminal device 20 . For example, when the rank of the first user reaches a predetermined threshold value (eg, 100 points), the terminal control unit 25a may transmit the first request only a predetermined number of times (eg, once). For example, the first request includes a request to invite a user who has not installed a game application to the game, a request to prompt a dormant user who has not logged in to the game to log in, and a message from the first user to other users. It may also include a transmission request or the like.

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

Specifically, when a user who has not installed a game application on his/her own terminal device 20 is assumed to be the second user, the server control unit 13 sends the identification information to the second user of the second user via e-mail, for example. It may be transmitted directly to the terminal device 20b, or the identification information may be posted on any home page that can be viewed by the second user. Alternatively, the server control unit 13 may output the identification information to the first terminal device 20a of the first user and cause the first terminal device 20a to further output the identification information. The terminal control unit 25b may acquire the application from a predetermined application distribution server, install it, and start it. When the game application is activated, the server device 10 and the second terminal device 20b cooperate to execute a predetermined user registration process. Information about the second user is stored in the server storage unit 12 by executing the user registration process.

On the other hand, if the second user is a user who has already installed a game application on his/her own terminal device 20, the server control unit 13 causes the second user's second terminal device 20b to identify The information may be displayed on the second terminal device 20b.

The terminal control unit 25b of the second terminal device 20b of the second user notified of the identification information transmits a second request including the identification information to the server device 10. FIG. For example, the second request may include a request to amend information about the second user.

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

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

According to such a configuration, for example, even if the second user has just started playing the game, the user parameters of the second user are corrected based on the game parameters of the first user who has relatively long experience playing the game. Therefore, the second user can reach user parameters that can be reached only by accumulating experience of playing the game over time in a relatively short time. Therefore, it is possible to motivate the second user to play the game. Also, for example, when the first user and the second user compete or cooperate in the game, the difference in user parameters between the first user and the second user is reduced, so each user is more fair. You can play the game under certain conditions. Therefore, it is possible to motivate the first user to play the game.

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

According to such a configuration, for example, even if the second user has just started playing the game, the other game medium B based on the game medium A owned in the game by the first user who has a relatively long experience of playing the game is the second user. Granted to the user. Therefore, the second user can obtain the game content B, which can only be obtained by accumulating experience of playing the game over time, in a relatively short time. Therefore, it is possible to motivate the second user to play the game. Further, for example, when the first user and the second user compete or cooperate in the game, the difference in the game contents owned by the first user and the second user is reduced, so that each user can play fairer. The game can be played under conditions close to Therefore, it is possible to motivate the first user to play the game.

Also, for example, the server control unit 13 may correct at least part of the history data included in the information about the second user based on the correction data.

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

According to such a configuration, for example, even if the second user has just started playing the game, based on the log-in history of the first user who has a relatively long experience of playing the game, for example, the first start date of the second user is further past. Corrected daily. Therefore, the second user can obtain a log-in history that can only be obtained by accumulating game play experience over time in a relatively short time. Therefore, it is possible to motivate the second user to play the game. Further, for example, when the second user cooperates with another user in the game, the other user can be made to think that the second user is a skilled user who has a relatively long experience of playing the game. . This increases the probability that another user will send a request for cooperation in the game to the second user, thereby motivating the second user to play the game.

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

According to such a configuration, the second user's event history is corrected as if the event was played by the second user, even if the event was not actually played by the second user. Therefore, the second user can obtain an event history that can be obtained only by accumulating experience of playing the game over a long period of time in a relatively short time. Therefore, it is possible to motivate the second user to play the game. Further, for example, when the second user cooperates with another user in the game, the other user can be made to think that the second user is a skilled user who has a relatively long experience of playing the game. . This increases the probability that another user will send a request for cooperation in the game to the second user, thereby motivating the second user to play the game.

After correcting the information about the second user, the server control unit 13 may permit the second user to play a predetermined game part based on the corrected information about the second user. For example, when the rank included in the information about the second user becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined value as a result of correction, a predetermined game part (for example, a multiplayer game part, etc.) may be made playable by the second user. According to such a configuration, it is possible to play part of the game part, which conventionally is permitted only by accumulating game play experience over time, in a relatively short period of time. Therefore, it is possible to motivate the second user to play the game.

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

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

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

Step S<b>100 : The server control unit 13 stores various information and programs used for game processing in the server storage unit 12 . For example, the server control unit 13 stores information about multiple users and information about game media.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Step S107: The server control unit 13 causes at least one of the first user's first terminal device 20a and the second user's second terminal device 20b to display at least part of the corrected information about the second user.

As described above, when the server device 10 according to the present embodiment acquires the first request from the first terminal device 20a of the first user, it outputs the identification information corresponding to the first user. When the server device 10 acquires the second request including the identification information from the second terminal device 20b of the second user, the server device 10 corrects the information about the second user using the correction data based on the information about the first user. Conventionally, the second user had to spend a lot of time accumulating experience in playing the game. , the information about the second user is corrected. Therefore, it is possible to motivate the second user to play the game.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings and examples, it should be noted that various variations and modifications will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art based on this disclosure. Therefore, please note that these variations and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each means, each step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to be logically inconsistent, and it is possible to combine a plurality of means, steps, etc. into one or divide them. .

For example, in the present embodiment described above, the terminal device 20 may be configured to perform part or all of the operations and processes performed by the server device 10 . Similarly, the server device 10 may be configured to perform part of the operations performed by the terminal device 20 . For example, processing such as display control of various screens displayed on the terminal device 20 and control of various GUIs may be executed by either the server device 10 or the terminal device 20. May be performed cooperatively. Alternatively, the game system 1 may not include the server device 10 . In such a case, the terminal device 20 may store in advance the information received from the server device 10 in the above-described embodiment.

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

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

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a configuration has been described in which, when the server control unit 13 acquires the second request from the second terminal device 20b of the second user, the information regarding the second user is corrected. However, when the server control unit 13 acquires the second request, only when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the configuration is also possible in which the information regarding the second user is corrected.

For example, when the server control unit 13 acquires the second request from the second user's second terminal device 20b, the server control unit 13 sends at least part of the information about the second user for a predetermined period to the first user's first terminal device 20a. may be displayed. The predetermined period may be determined arbitrarily. For example, the server control unit 13 may cause the first terminal device 20a to display the history data of the second user for the predetermined period. The terminal control unit 25a of the first terminal device 20a may transmit a correction request to correct the information about the second user to the server device 10, for example, according to the user's operation. When the server control unit 13 acquires the correction request from the first terminal device 20a, the server control unit 13 creates correction data and corrects the information regarding the second user.

An example of the second operation of the server device 10 executing the above process will be described with reference to FIG. The second action may be performed instead of the first action described above.

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

Step S204: When the server control unit 13 acquires the second request from the second user's second terminal device 20b in step S203, the server control unit 13 displays at least part of the information about the second user for a predetermined period on the first terminal device 20a. Let

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

Steps S206-S209: When the server control unit 13 acquires the correction request in step S205, it executes the same processing as steps S104-S107 described above.

According to this configuration, the first user can select whether or not to correct the information about the second user after confirming the information about the second user displayed on the first terminal device 20a. Therefore, as described below, the first user can select a desired second user as a correction target, thereby improving the usability of the game for the first user.

Conventionally, for example, a user who plays a multiplayer game part in which a plurality of users compete or cooperate in a game, other users who have a similar length of experience playing the game, such as friends or guild members in the game There is a request to collect as friends such as. However, in games that have been in operation for a relatively long period of time, users with relatively long game experience often already belong to the same guild, and the users have the same playing experience as themselves. Recruiting new friends was not always easy.

In contrast, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the information regarding the second user is corrected based on the information regarding the first user. Therefore, for example, even if there is a difference in game playing experience between the first user and the second user, it is possible to reduce the difference in user information between the first user and the second user. be. Therefore, for example, for the first user who intends to gather friends in the game, it is possible to reduce the demerit of adding the second user who has relatively short playing experience to the friends.

Here, for example, when the first user plays a multiplayer game part together with the second user, when the first user is activating the game application (for example, when logging into the game), the first Two users may also be required to have the game's application running. Therefore, for the first user, the second user's aggressiveness toward the game is high (for example, in a predetermined period, the frequency of application activation is high, the second user's rank increase is large, the number of game tasks completed is large, It is desirable that the number of messages sent to other users is large, the number of responses to requests for reinforcements from other users is large, or the number of multiplayer game parts played is large. According to the embodiment of the present invention, after confirming the information about the second user displayed on the first terminal device 20a, the first user can select whether or not to correct the information about the second user. be. For this reason, for example, at the stage of confirming the information about the second user, if the second user is less active in the game, it is possible not to correct the information about the second user. Such a configuration may be particularly useful, for example, when the number of second users whose information can be corrected is capped.

Alternatively, when the server control unit 13 acquires the second request from the second user's second terminal device 20b, whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied based on at least part of the information about the second user in the predetermined period. A configuration for automatically determining is also possible. For example, the predetermined condition may include a condition that the second user's aggressiveness toward the game is higher than a predetermined standard (for example, the second user's activation frequency of the game application is higher than a predetermined threshold). According to this configuration, the second user who is considered desirable for the first user is automatically selected as a correction target, similar to the configuration in which at least part of the information about the second user in the predetermined period is presented to the first user as described above. The usability of the game for the first user is improved because the game is selectively selected. Also, for example, the predetermined condition may include a condition that a predetermined event (for example, a tutorial event for beginners) has been completed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the server control unit 13 uses correction data based on the information on the first user to correct the user parameters, the information on the game media, the history data, etc. included in the information on the second user. I explained the configuration. Here, a configuration is also possible in which the first user or the second user selects which information or data included in the second user information is to be corrected.

For example, a configuration example in which the second user selects the correction target will be described. When the server control unit 13 acquires the second request from the second terminal device 20b of the second user, the server control unit 13 causes the second terminal device 20b to display information about the plurality of correction data. The information about the correction data indicates items to be corrected among the information about the second user. For example, the server control unit 13 displays, on the second terminal device 20b, six items of information on a plurality of correction data: rank, maximum number of possessions, deck capacity, information on game media, login history, and event history. You may let The second user selects one or more pieces of information about arbitrary correction data from among the plurality of pieces of information about correction data displayed on the second terminal device 20b. An upper limit number of pieces of information regarding selectable correction data may be defined. The terminal control unit 25b of the second terminal device 20b transmits to the server device 10 information about at least one correction data selected based on the user's operation. Then, when acquiring the information about the selected at least one correction data, the server control unit 13 creates the selected at least one correction data. For example, when "rank" is selected as information about correction data, correction data for correcting the rank of the second user is created.

An example of the third operation of the server device 10 executing the above process will be described with reference to FIG. The third operation may be performed instead of the first operation described above.

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

Step S304: When the server control unit 13 acquires the second request from the second terminal device 20b of the second user in step S303, it causes the second terminal device 20b to display information regarding a plurality of correction data.

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

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

Steps S307-S309: The server control unit 13 executes the same processes as steps S105-S107 described above.

According to this configuration, the second user selects which information or data included in the second user information is to be corrected. Therefore, for example, the second user can strategically select targets to be corrected, thereby expanding the strategic nature of the game. In addition, since the second user can strategically select targets to be corrected, the usability of the game is improved for the second user.

Also, for example, a configuration example in which the first user selects a correction target will be described. When the server control unit 13 acquires the first request from the first terminal device 20a of the first user, the server control unit 13 causes the first terminal device 20a to display information regarding the plurality of correction data. The first user selects one or more pieces of information about arbitrary correction data from among the plurality of pieces of information about correction data displayed on the first terminal device 20a. An upper limit number of pieces of information regarding selectable correction data may be defined. The terminal control unit 25a of the first terminal device 20a transmits to the server device 10 information about at least one piece of correction data selected based on the user's operation. The server control unit 13 outputs identification information corresponding to the first user and information regarding at least one selected correction data. For example, when "rank" is selected as information about correction data, a message or the like indicating that the correction target is "rank" may be output in addition to the identification information of the first user.

An example of the fourth operation of the server device 10 executing the above process will be described with reference to FIG. The fourth operation may be performed instead of the first operation described above.

Steps S400-S401: The server control unit 13 executes the same processes as steps S100-S101 described above.

Step S402: When the server control unit 13 acquires the first request from the first terminal device 20a of the first user in step S301, it causes the first terminal device 20a to display information regarding a plurality of correction data.

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

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

Steps S405-S409: The server control unit 13 executes the same processes as steps S103-S107 described above.

According to this configuration, the first user selects which information or data included in the second user information is to be corrected. Therefore, for example, the first user can strategically select targets to be corrected, thereby expanding the strategic nature of the game. In addition, since the first user can strategically select targets to be corrected, the usability of the game is improved for the first user.

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

In order to function as the server device 10 or the terminal device 20 according to the embodiment described above, an information processing device such as a computer or a mobile phone can be preferably used. In such an information processing device, a program describing processing details for realizing each function of the server device 10 or the terminal device 20 according to the embodiment is stored in the storage unit of the information processing device, and the CPU of the information processing device stores the program. It can be realized by reading and executing the program.
