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 received 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. Hereinafter, the user or AI who operates the game media will also be referred to as a player.

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.), and 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. One game part may support both single-play and multi-play.

A game according to this embodiment includes a game part in which a first game content owned by a user in the game is associated with a second game content. A predetermined game effect is set in the first game medium. As will be described later, when the first game content is associated with the second game content, the state of the game effect of the first game content switches from the first state to the second state. In this embodiment, when the game effect is in the first state, the game effect is prohibited from being exhibited. On the other hand, when the game effect is in the second state, the game effect is permitted to be exhibited. The game effect of the second state may be exhibited at any timing. For example, the game effect may be exhibited when the second state is entered, or may be exhibited in response to the occurrence of any event while in the second state.

The content of the game effect may be determined arbitrarily. For example, there may be game effects that bring the user closer to an advantage or disadvantage within the game. The game effect that brings the user closer to an advantageous situation in the game is, for example, in a configuration in which a user who logs into the game system is given a predetermined reward (for example, game media) as a so-called login bonus. It may also include game effects that enhance or grant additional rewards. Also, for example, a game effect that brings the user closer to an advantageous situation in the game may include a game effect that increases the upper limit of the number of game media that the user can own in the game. Also, for example, a game effect that brings the user closer to an advantageous situation in the game is a game effect that improves the game parameters of a predetermined game medium owned by the user in the game (for example, a game effect that increases the attack power of a character, etc.). may include Also, for example, the game effect that brings the user closer to an advantageous situation in the game is the user's resources necessary for executing a predetermined event in the game (for example, virtual currency necessary for purchasing items and virtual currency necessary for executing quests). A game effect that reduces consumption of user's predetermined points, etc., may be included. On the other hand, the game effect that brings the user closer to a disadvantageous situation in the game may include, for example, a game effect that exerts an opposite effect to the game effect that brings the user closer to an advantageous situation, as described above.

In this way, the user can achieve a desired game effect in the game by associating the first game content with the second game content in the game part described above. According to such a configuration, it is possible to motivate the user to strategically consider which first game content should have the game effect. Therefore, the game becomes more interesting.

The third game content ID is information that can uniquely identify the third game content owned by the user in the game. The third game content ID corresponds to a third game content ID included in information about the third game content, as will be described later.

(Information about the first game medium)
The server storage unit 12 stores information regarding a plurality of first game media. FIG. 3 shows information about two first game media associated with one user. However, any number of first game contents may be associated with one user. Information about the first game content may include any information unique to the first game content. For example, the information about the first game content includes the first game content ID, game effect, state, time limit, and cost points. In the information about the first game content, the game effect, state, time limit, and cost points are attached to the first game content ID.

The game effect is a game effect set for the first game medium. As noted above, any game effect may be present in the game according to this embodiment.

The state indicates the state of the game effect set for the first game content. In this embodiment, the state of the game effect is the first state or the second state. As described above, when the game effect is in the first state, the game effect may be prohibited from being exerted. On the other hand, when the game effect is in the second state, the game effect may be permitted to be exhibited. As will be described later, the state of the first game medium may be switched from the first state to the second state by associating the first game medium with the second game medium.

The time limit indicates the time limit for updating the game effect in the second state. Specifically, after the game effect set in the first game medium has changed to the second state, the game effect is updated when the period expires. The time limit may include a threshold used for comparison with the elapsed time from the timing when the game effect entered the second state. Alternatively, the deadline may include date and time information. For example, updating a game effect may include switching the state of the game effect from a second state to a first state. Also for example, updating the game effect may include disassociating the first game medium from the second game medium. Further, for example, updating the game effect may include canceling the association between the first game content in which the game effect is set and the user. The information about the first game content may include a "period" from the current date and time to the deadline instead of the "deadline".

A cost point is a predetermined point set for the first game content. Cost points are used in the process of associating the first game content with the second game content. Details of the processing will be described later.

(Information about the second game medium)
The server storage unit 12 stores information regarding a plurality of second game media. FIG. 4 shows information about one second game content associated with one user. However, any number of second game contents may be associated with one user. Information about the second game content may include any information unique to the second game content. For example, the information about the second game content includes the second game content ID, the grade, the first threshold value, the second threshold value, and the first game content ID. In the information about the second game content, the grade, first threshold, second threshold, and first game content ID are attached to the second game content ID.

A grade is a parameter used to determine a first threshold and a second threshold, which will be described later. In this embodiment, the grade value may increase as the user who owns the second game medium plays the game. Each of the first and second thresholds may increase as the grade increases.

The first threshold is used for comparison with the cost points of the first game content in the process of associating the first game content with the second game content. Details of the processing will be described later.

The second threshold is used for comparison with the number of first game media in the process of associating the first game media with the second game media. Details of the processing will be described later.

The first game content ID indicates the first game content associated with the second game content.

(Information about the third game medium)
The server storage unit 12 stores information regarding a plurality of third game media. FIG. 5 shows information about two third game media associated with one user. However, any number of third game contents may be associated with one user. Information about the third game content may include any information unique to the third game content. For example, information about the third game content includes a third game content ID and game parameters. The game parameter is used for processing a game part that uses the third game medium (for example, a battle game part between the third game medium and an opponent). Game parameters may be arbitrarily determined according to the content of the game part. For example, if the game part is a competitive game part, the game parameters may include level, soundness, and attack power. In the information about the third game content, the level, soundness, and attack power are attached to the third game content ID.

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

The health level is a parameter indicating the degree of deterioration of the third game content. For example, in a game part in which the third game medium competes with another game medium as an opponent, the soundness level of the third game medium can decrease when the third 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 processing includes, for example, a process of temporarily prohibiting execution of actions by the third game medium, a process of temporarily erasing the third game medium from the virtual space, a process of varying the game parameters of the third game medium, and the like. may include Therefore, the higher the soundness of the third game content, the more advantageous it is for the user. Health may increase as the level increases.

Attack power is a parameter used to determine the amount of damage given to the opponent by the attack of the third game medium. 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 third game medium, the more advantageous it is for the user. Attack power may increase as the level increases.

Information about the first to third game contents is not limited to the examples described above. For example, information about game media may include the name and image of the game media. Information stored in the server storage unit 12 is not limited to the above. For example, the server storage unit 12 may store information about game effects set for a combination of two or more predetermined first game contents. The state of the game effect set for one combination may switch from the first state to the second state when two or more first game media associated with the combination are associated with the second game media.

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 regarding the user, information regarding the first game content, information regarding the second game content, information regarding the third 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. Details of operations of the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 that execute the game part will be described later.

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 .

(Run game part)
The operation of the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 that cooperate to execute the game part will be specifically described. Here, a configuration will be described in which the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 each execute the same processing, and the server device 10 compares the processing result of the server device 10 and the processing result of the terminal device 20 . For simplicity of explanation, the operation of the terminal device 20 will be explained, and the explanation of the operation of the server device 10 that executes the same processing as that of the terminal device 20 will be omitted.

Here, as described above, the game part in which the first game content owned by the user in the game is associated with the second game content will be specifically described. First, the operation of the terminal device 20 executing the game part in a state where no first game content is associated with the second game content will be described.

The terminal control unit 25 stores information acquired from the server device 10 in the terminal storage unit 22 . The information may include, for example, information about a plurality of first game media owned by the user in the game and information about the second game media.

The terminal control unit 25 causes the display unit 23 to display a screen on which each of the plurality of first game contents can be selected. A specific example of the screen will be described later. The terminal control unit 25 selects one or more first game media from among the plurality of first game media within a range that satisfies the first condition, according to the user's operation on the screen. The first condition is used when no first game content is associated with the second game content. The first condition may include one or more arbitrary conditions. A plurality of conditions included in the first condition may be treated as a logical product, for example. In such a case, it is determined that the first condition is satisfied when all of the plurality of conditions are satisfied. Alternatively, multiple conditions included in the first condition may be treated as a logical sum, for example. In such a case, if any one of the plurality of conditions is satisfied, it is determined that the first condition is satisfied.

The first condition will be specifically described. The first condition may include a condition that the total value of cost points of each first game content selected based on the user's operation on the screen is equal to or less than the first threshold value of the second game content. For example, if the first threshold is 100 points, the terminal control unit 25 selects one or more first game media within a range where the total cost points of each selected first game media is 100 points or less. may be selected.

Further, for example, the first condition may include a condition that the number of first game contents selected through the above screen is equal to or less than the second threshold value for the second game contents. For example, when the second threshold is 6 points, the terminal control unit 25 selects one or more first game media within a range in which the number of selected first game media is 6 or less. good.

When the terminal control unit 25 detects, for example, a predetermined user operation while one or more first game media are selected within a range that satisfies the first condition, the terminal control unit 25 selects the one or more first game media as the second game media. Associate with game media. When the first game content is associated with the second game content, the terminal control unit 25 switches the state of the game effect set for the first game content from the first state to the second state.

Here, if a game effect is set for a predetermined combination of two or more first game media, the terminal control unit 25 associates the two or more first game media associated with the combination with the second game media. If so, the state of the game effect set for that combination is switched from the first state to the second state.

The terminal control unit 25 may update (correct) the game effect in the second state based on the grade of the second game content. For example, the higher the grade of the second game content, the better the game effect in the second state. Then, the terminal control unit 25 ends the game part.

The terminal control unit 25 may cancel the association between the first game media and the second game media, for example, according to the consumption of predetermined game media (for example, items). In such a case, the terminal control unit 25 may switch the state of the game effect set for the first game medium from the second state to the first state. The terminal control unit 25, for example, according to consumption of a predetermined game medium (for example, an item), maintains the association between the first game medium and the second game medium, and reproduces the game effect set for the first game medium. may be switched between a first state and a second state. According to such a configuration, the user can manage the state of the effects set in the game content, for example, in accordance with the progress of the game. Therefore, the usability of the game is improved.

Next, the operation of the terminal device 20 executing the above game part with at least one first game content already associated with a second game content will be described. This state can occur, for example, when the game part described above is executed for the second time or later.

In such a case, the terminal control unit 25 causes the display unit 23 to display a screen in which each of the plurality of first game media excluding the first game media already associated with the second game media can be selected. In response to a user operation on the screen, the terminal control unit 25 selects one game medium from among a plurality of first game mediums excluding the first game medium already associated with the second game medium within a range that satisfies the second condition. Selecting one or more first game media. The second condition may include one or more arbitrary conditions. A plurality of conditions included in the second condition may be treated as a logical product, for example. In such a case, it is determined that the second condition is satisfied when all of the plurality of conditions are satisfied. Alternatively, multiple conditions included in the second condition may be treated as a logical sum, for example. In such a case, if any one of the plurality of conditions is satisfied, it is determined that the second condition is satisfied.

The second condition will be specifically described. The second condition is that the sum of the cost points of each first game content selected based on the user's operation on the screen and the cost points of each first game content associated with the second game content is A condition that the second game content is equal to or less than a first threshold may be included. For example, if the first threshold is 100 points and the cost points of each first game content that has already been associated with the second game content is 30 points, the terminal control unit 25 selects each first One or more first game media may be selected within a range where the total value of cost points of the game media is 100-30=70 points or less.

When the terminal control unit 25 detects, for example, a predetermined user operation while one or more first game media are selected within a range that satisfies the second condition, the terminal control unit 25 selects the one or more first game media as the second game media. Associate with game media. When the first game content is associated with the second game content, the terminal control unit 25 switches the state of the game effect set for the first game content from the first state to the second state.

Here, if a game effect is set for a predetermined combination of two or more first game media, the terminal control unit 25 associates the two or more first game media associated with the combination with the second game media. If so, the state of the game effect set for that combination is switched from the first state to the second state.

The terminal control unit 25 may update (correct) the game effect in the second state based on the grade of the second game content. For example, the higher the grade of the second game content, the better the game effect in the second state. Then, the terminal control unit 25 ends the game part.

(Exhibition of Game Effect and Time Limit)
The terminal control unit 25 activates the game effect of the second state in the game part described above, for example, according to a predetermined event.

The terminal control unit 25 updates the game effect in the second state based on the lapse of time. Specifically, the terminal control unit 25 may determine whether or not the above-described time limit corresponding to the game effect has expired. For example, the terminal control unit 25 may determine that the time limit has expired when the elapsed time from the timing when the game effect entered the second state reaches a threshold value indicated by the time limit. In such a configuration, the terminal control unit 25 measures the elapsed time when the game effect is in the second state, and when the game effect changes from the second state to the first state, or when the game effect is set. When the association between the first game content and the second game content is canceled, the elapsed time measurement may be interrupted. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 25 may determine that the deadline has expired when the current date and time reaches the date and time indicated in the date and time information included in the deadline. In such a configuration, when the game effect changes from the second state to the first state, or when the association between the first game medium in which the game effect is set and the second game medium is disassociated, the terminal control unit 25 The date and time indicated in the date and time information included in the deadline may be extended as time passes. When it is determined that the time limit has expired, the terminal control unit 25 may switch the state of the game effect from the second state to the first state, and the first game medium and the second game medium corresponding to the game effect may be switched. may be canceled, and the association between the first game content and the user may be canceled. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 25 may suppress the game effect in the second state over time. For example, when the game effect of increasing the attack power of the third game medium by 10 points is in the second state, the amount of increase in attack power gradually decreases from 10 points as time elapses, corresponding to the game effect. It may become 0 points at the timing when the time limit expires.

(Transmission and reception of set information)
The terminal control unit 25 may transmit set information indicating all the first game media associated with the second game media to the server device 10 . Specifically, the set information may include all the first game content IDs associated with the second game content IDs in the information about the second game content.

The terminal control unit 25 receives from the server device 10 one or more pieces of set information transmitted to the server device 10 from one or more other information processing devices used by one or more other users. . The terminal control unit 25 causes the display unit 23 to display the one or more pieces of set information in a selectable manner. The terminal control unit 25 selects one piece of set information from among the one or more pieces of set information, for example, based on a user's operation. The terminal control unit 25 selects one or more first game media corresponding to one or more other first game media indicated in the set information from among the plurality of first game media associated with the user. is associated with the second game medium. Here, the corresponding first game content includes, for example, a first game content that is at least partially the same (eg, name, image, etc.) as another first game content indicated in the set information.

Here, a case will be described where the first game content corresponding to at least one other first game content indicated in the set information is not associated with the user. In such a case, the terminal control unit 25 selects one or more first game media respectively corresponding to the one or more other first game media indicated in the set information, except for the at least one other first game media. , may be associated with the second game content. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 25 performs the above association only when one or more first game media respectively corresponding to all other first game media indicated in the set information are associated with the user. good too. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 25 may cause the display unit 23 to display information about game parts with which the first game content that is not associated with the user can be associated with the user. Information about the game part may include, for example, a GUI that accepts a user operation to start the game part. In such a case, the terminal control unit 25 may start the game part in which the first game content that has not been associated with the user can be associated with the user, according to the user's operation.

Also, a case where the total value of cost points of all other first game media indicated in the set information exceeds the first threshold value of the user's second game media will be described. In such a case, the terminal control unit 25 controls all the cost points indicated in the set information within a range in which the total value of the cost points of each of the other selected first game media is equal to or less than the first threshold value of the user's second game media. One or more of the other first game media may be selected. The terminal control unit 25 may associate one or more first game media respectively corresponding to the one or more selected first game media with the second game media. Here, the terminal control unit 25 may automatically select one or more other first game media based on a predetermined priority among all the other first game media indicated in the set information. . For example, the higher the cost point of the first game content, the higher or lower the priority may be. Further, for example, the more effective the game effect set for the first game medium (for example, in the case of a game effect that increases the attack power of the third game medium, the greater the increase in attack power), the higher the priority. It may be higher or lower. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 25 associates one or more first game media respectively corresponding to all other first game media indicated in the set information with the second game media, while the terminal control unit 25 associates one or more first game media associated with the second game media with the second game media. The state of the game effect set for each first game content may remain in the first state until the total value of cost points for each first game content is equal to or less than the first threshold value for the second game content.

According to the above configuration using the set information, the first game media associated with the user's second game media can be collectively set based on the first game media associated with the other user's second game media. be. This reduces the complexity of the user operation for associating the first game content with the second game content, thereby improving the usability of the game. In addition, since the user can be motivated to search for other users who have set the desired combination of the first game contents, interaction between the user and other users is activated.
Further, as described above, if the first game content corresponding to at least one other first game content indicated in the set information is not associated with the user, or if all the other first game content indicated in the set information Even if the total value of cost points of the game media exceeds the first threshold, the user can associate the first game media with the second game media without being aware of these cases. Therefore, the usability of the game is improved.

(Game screen)
Screens displayed on the display unit 23 of the terminal device 20 during execution of the above-described game part will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. A second game medium 40, a first game medium selection area 50, and an enter button 60 may be displayed on the screen. The appearance of the second game media 40 on the screen may change according to the grade of the second game media 40 . For example, the higher the grade, the larger the second game medium 40 may be.

The second game medium 40 is provided with an information display area 41 and one or more placement areas 42 . In the information display area 41, the total cost points of the selected first game media and the first threshold value of the second game media 40 are displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 6, none of the first game media are selected. Therefore, the total value of cost points is 0 points. The placement area 42 functions as a GUI (Graphic User Interface) that detects part of the user's operation for selecting the first game content. The user operation will be described later. The number of placement areas 42 is equal to the second threshold set for the second game medium 40 . In the example shown in FIG. 6, the second game medium 40 on the screen is provided with six placement areas 42 (42a-42f).

The first game media selection area 50 displays the first game media 51 owned by the user in the game. In FIG. 6, four first game media 51 (51a-51d) are displayed. For example, the terminal control unit 25 may scroll the display content of the first game medium selection area 50 according to the user's operation to display the fifth and subsequent first game mediums 51 . The name (AD) and cost points of the first game media 51 may be displayed on the first game media 51 on the screen. Also, the expiration date (or period) of the first game content 51 may be displayed on the first game content 51 . The first game medium 51 on the screen functions as a GUI that receives a user operation for selecting the first game medium 51 together with the placement area 42 described above. For example, the terminal control unit 25 associates the first game medium 51a with the placement area 42a and selects the first game medium 51a in response to the user's operation of dragging the first game medium 51a and placing it in the placement area 42a. . For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the first game medium 51a being selected may be placed within the placement area 42a. When the first game medium 51a is arranged in the arrangement area 42, the first game medium 51a in the first game medium selection area 50 may be displayed in a different display mode (for example, grayed out). good.

For example, when a game effect is set for a combination of the first game media 51a and 51b as described above, the terminal control unit 25 may When the first game medium 51 (for example, the first game medium 51a) is selected, in the first game medium selection area 50, the remaining first game out of the two first game mediums 51a and 51b associated with the combination is displayed. The display mode of the medium 51 (for example, the first game medium 51b) is changed. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the frame line of the first game medium 51b is double.

Further, for example, the terminal control unit 25 may change the display mode of the first game content 51 whose total cost point value exceeds the first threshold when selected on the screen described above. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the cost points of the first game content 51a being selected are 80 points. Here, the cost point of the first game content 51d is 30 points. Therefore, if the first game content 51d is further selected, the total cost points (110 points) will exceed the first threshold (100 points). Therefore, when the first game medium 51a is selected as described above, the terminal control unit 25 may display the first game medium 51d in a different display mode (for example, grayed out).

The confirmation button 60 is a GUI that accepts a user operation to associate one or more first game media 51 selected within a range that satisfies the first condition (or second condition) with the second game media 40 . When the terminal control unit 25 detects a user operation on the enter button 60 , the terminal control unit 25 associates one or more selected first game media 51 with the second game media 40 . The terminal control unit 25 switches the game effect set for each of the one or more first game media 51 from the first state to the second state. As described above, when the time limit of the game effect includes a threshold used for comparison with the elapsed time from the timing when the game effect entered the second state, the terminal control unit 25 changes the game effect from the first state to the second state. Measurement of elapsed time from the timing of switching to the two states may be started.

(First operation example of terminal device)
An example of the first operation of the terminal device 20 will be described with reference to FIG. The operation includes an operation of the terminal device 20 executing a game part that associates the first game content owned by the user in the game with the second game content. Here, an example in which this operation starts in a state in which none of the first game media is associated with the second game media will be described.

Step S<b>100 : The terminal control section 25 stores the information acquired from the server device 10 in the terminal storage section 22 . The information may include, for example, information about a plurality of first game media owned by the user in the game and information about the second game media.

Step S105: When a game effect is set for a predetermined combination of two or more first game media, the terminal control unit 25 associates the two or more first game media associated with the combination with the second game media. If so, the state of the game effect set for that combination is switched from the first state to the second state.

(Second operation example of terminal device)
An example of the second operation of the terminal device 20 will be described with reference to FIG. The operation includes an operation of the terminal device 20 that updates the game effect in the second state over time.

Step S200: The terminal control unit 25 determines whether or not the time limit corresponding to the game effect in the second state has expired. If it is determined that the time limit has expired (step S200-Yes), the process proceeds to step S201. On the other hand, if it is determined that the time limit has not expired (step S200-No), the process repeats step S200.

Step S201: The terminal control unit 25 updates the game effect in the second state. For example, the terminal control unit 25 may switch the state of the game effect from the second state to the first state.

(Third operation example of the terminal device)
An example of the third operation of the terminal device 20 will be described with reference to FIG. The operation includes an operation of the terminal device 20 that updates the game effect in the second state over time.

Step S300: The terminal control unit 25 receives one or more pieces of set information transmitted to the server device 10 from one or more other information processing devices used by one or more other users. , and displayed on the display unit 23 in a selectable manner.

Step S301: The terminal control unit 25 selects one piece of set information from among the one or more pieces of set information, for example, based on a user's operation.

Step S302: The terminal control unit 25 associates one or more first game media respectively corresponding to one or more other first game media indicated in the one piece of set information with the second game media.

As described above, the terminal device 20 according to the present embodiment selects one or more first game media from among a plurality of first game media within a range that satisfies the first condition. The terminal device 20 associates the selected one or more first game media with the second game media. When the first game content is associated with the second game content, the terminal device 20 switches the state of the game effect set for the first game content from the first state to the second state. Then, the terminal device 20 updates the game effect in the second state based on the lapse of time. According to such a configuration, it is possible to motivate the user to strategically consider which first game content should have the game effect. Therefore, the strategic nature of the game is expanded.

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 above-described embodiment, an example of the operation of the terminal device 20 has been described with reference to FIGS. 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.

Also, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which one second game content is associated with each user has been described. However, a configuration is possible in which a plurality of second game contents are associated with one user. Also, for example, one second game content may be associated with a plurality of users. In such a case, the game effect in the second state of the first game content associated with the second game content may be exhibited for at least some of the plurality of users. According to such a configuration, it is possible to generate game effects that meet the demands of a plurality of users. Therefore, the usability of the game is improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the user owns another first game medium B that is the same as or similar to a certain first game medium A associated with the second game medium, the terminal control unit 25 By causing the first game content B to be consumed, the game effect set for the first game content A may be updated. According to such a configuration, it is possible to combine the same or similar game contents with each other, thereby increasing the strategic nature of the game. In addition, since various game effects can be set according to the combination of the first game contents, it is possible to compare with a configuration in which information relating to various first game contents each having such various game effects is stored in advance. Therefore, the amount of data to be stored can be reduced.
A specific description will be given below.

First, the similarity between the two first game contents will be described. When the attribute of the game effect of the first game medium A and the attribute of the game effect of the first game medium B match at least in part, the terminal control unit 25 determines that both are similar first game mediums. can be determined. Here, the game effect of the first game medium A is "Increase the attack power of the third game medium by 10 points", and the game effect of the first game medium B is "Increase the attack power of the third game medium by 5 points". An example will be described. Both are in agreement in that they "increase the attack power of the third game medium". In such a case, the first game media A and B may be determined to be similar. However, determination of similarity between two first game contents is not limited to the above example, and any algorithm may be employed. Alternatively, the information about the first game medium may include in advance the attribute of the game effect set for the first game medium (for example, the attribute of "increase the attack power of the third game medium"). good. In this case, when the attribute of the game effect of the first game medium A and the attribute of the game effect of the first game medium B match, the terminal control unit 25 determines that both are similar first game mediums. You may

Next, update of the game effect of the first game medium will be described. The terminal control unit 25 cancels the association between the first game medium B and the user (that is, causes the user to consume the first game medium B) in response to a predetermined user operation to be described later, and controls the game of the first game medium. At least one of the content of the effect and the time limit may be updated. For example, the terminal control unit 25 may increase the amount of increase in attack power that increases due to the game effect of the first game medium A. FIG. The terminal control unit 25 may use an arbitrary algorithm to increase the amount of increase in attack power. For example, a value obtained by weighting the increase (5 points) due to the game effect of the first game medium B with a predetermined weighting coefficient α (5α points) is added to the increase (10 points) due to the game effect of the first game medium A. You may Here, the weighting factor α may be any value including one. Alternatively, the weighting factor α is α=m/ where n is the remaining time until the game effect of the first game medium A expires and m is the remaining time until the game effect of the first game medium B expires. It may be n. Further, for example, the terminal control unit 25 may extend the expiration date of the game effect of the first game medium A.

Here, the predetermined user operation is, for example, on the screen shown in FIG. A user operation of dragging to the upper left placement area 42a in which the medium A is placed may be used. According to this configuration, the game effect of the first game medium A is updated by an intuitive operation of overlapping the same or similar first game medium B on the first game medium A arranged in the placement area 42 . . Therefore, usability is improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a predetermined game effect may be set in the placement area set for the second game medium. For example, when a first game content is associated with a certain placement area, even if a game effect that improves the game effect set in the first game content by a predetermined value or a predetermined percentage is set in the placement area. good. The set game effect may differ depending on the placement area.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the game effects set for the first game media associated with the placement regions are changed according to the positional relationship between the placement regions with which the first game media are associated. good too. For example, the game effect set for the first game content A in the placement area A may change based on information about the first game content B associated with the placement area B adjacent to the placement area A. For example, if the properties of the game effects set for the first game media A and B are the same or similar, the game effect set for the first game media A brings the user closer to an advantageous or disadvantageous situation in the game. may change as follows. Further, for example, as the number of other placement regions B adjacent to the placement region A and associated with other first game media increases, the game effect set for the first game media A becomes more advantageous to the user in the game. Or it may change to be closer to the disadvantageous situation.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, examples of the information regarding the first game content and the information regarding the second game content have been described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 . However, the contents of these pieces of information are not limited to the examples described above.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the information about the first game content may further include attributes and shape. An attribute may be information indicating a classification of a game effect, for example, based on the nature of the corresponding game effect. For example, the attribute of the game effect that improves the game parameter of the third game content may be the first attribute that indicates the property of improving the game parameter. Also, for example, the attribute of the game effect that improves or adds to the reward such as a login bonus given to the user may be a second attribute that indicates the property of improving the reward given to the user. The attributes are not limited to the first attribute and the second attribute, and three or more arbitrary attributes may exist. The shape is data indicating the shape of the first game medium. Each first game medium may have a different shape. The first game medium may have a two-dimensional shape or a three-dimensional shape. In such a configuration, the first game medium is arranged, for example, like a piece of a puzzle, within a two-dimensional or three-dimensional arrangement area set for the second game medium, as will be described later. Associated with the second game medium. The shape of the first game content may be determined according to the characteristics of the first game content (for example, game effects, cost points, attributes, etc.). For example, the larger the game effect or cost points, the larger or smaller the shape of the first game medium may be. For example, the first game media may have different shapes depending on the magnitude or attribute of the game effect.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the information about the second game content may further include attributes, placement areas, and placement information. Grade, first threshold, second threshold, layout space, first game medium ID, and layout information may be included for each attribute. The attribute corresponds to the game effect attribute described above. For example, in FIG. 12, a first attribute and a second attribute are illustrated. The placement area is information indicating a two-dimensional or three-dimensional area (space). The size and shape of the placement area may be determined arbitrarily. The placement information may include a game content ID of each first game content placed in the corresponding placement area, and information indicating the position and orientation of the first game content in the placement area.

In such a configuration, a screen displayed on the display unit 23 during execution of a game part that associates the first game content with the second game content will be described with reference to FIG. On the screen, the second game medium 40, the first game medium selection area 50, and the enter button 60 may be displayed as in the above-described embodiment. However, the details of the information displayed in the second game medium 40 and the first game medium selection area 50 are different.

In the second game medium 40, an information display area 41 and an arrangement area 44 are provided within an attribute area 43 corresponding to one attribute. For example, in the example of FIG. 13, an information display area 41 and an arrangement area 44 corresponding to the first attribute are shown.

A first game medium 51 and an attribute tab 52 are displayed in the first game medium selection area 50 . An attribute tab 52 is provided corresponding to each attribute. In the example of FIG. 13, an attribute tab 52a corresponding to the first attribute and an attribute tab 52b corresponding to the second attribute are shown. A first game medium 51 having the same attribute as the selected attribute tab 52 is displayed in the first game medium selection area 50 . In the example of FIG. 13, the attribute tab 52a corresponding to the first attribute is selected. Upon detecting a user operation on the attribute tab 52, the terminal control unit 25 updates the display in the first game medium selection area 50 so as to display the first game medium 51 having the same attribute as the attribute tab 52. . When the selected attribute tab 52 is switched, the terminal control unit 25 may switch the attribute area 43 in the second game medium 40 in conjunction with it. The four first game media 51a-51d shown in FIG. 13 have different shapes. For example, the terminal control unit 25 associates the first game medium 51a with the placement area 44 and selects the first game medium 51a in response to the user's operation of dragging the first game medium 51a and placing it in the placement area 44. . The terminal control unit 25 selects one or more first game media 51 within a range that satisfies the first condition, for example, as in the embodiment described above. Here, the first condition may further include a condition that the selected first game contents 51 are placed inside the placement area 44 without overlapping each other. According to such a configuration, the user can set the third element regarding the arrangement of the first game medium 51 in the arrangement area 44 in addition to the two elements of the first threshold and the second threshold set for the second game medium 40 . need to consider. Therefore, the strategic nature of the game is expanded, and the interest of the game is improved.

According to the above-described configuration in which the information about the first game content includes the attribute, the user can manage the first game content for each attribute of the set game effect, thereby reducing the complexity of user operations. Improve usability of the game. Further, according to the above-described configuration in which the information regarding the first game medium includes the shape, the user can grasp the characteristics of the first game medium at a glance by visually recognizing the shape of the first game medium. . The user can intuitively arrange the first game content. Therefore, the usability of the game is improved.

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 generated 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.
