Description

The present invention relates to an information processing device and an information processing program.

In a game in which a quest is executed using a communication network, the user owns points, and the points consumed for executing the quest are fixed.

A user may have a very large number of points compared to the points consumed for completing the quest. In this case, the user has the advantage of being able to execute the quest many times. However, on the other hand, it also has the disadvantage of having to perform quests many times in order to consume the points you own. For example, there are situations where the user wants to use up all the points but cannot use them up, which is inconvenient for the user.

Further, when a user executes a quest and satisfies a predetermined condition, the user may be given a reward such as an object used in the quest. In such a case, if the reward obtained is set to be constant even if the amount of points consumed differs, the game balance will be poor.

In this regard, Patent Document 1 describes an information processing device that includes a game progression section and a reward giving section. The game progress unit performs a first operation for starting game play on the game stage by consuming one's own game points, and a second operation for starting game play on the game stage without consuming one's own game points. When the first operation among the operations is selected by the user, the game points associated with the game stage are subtracted from the user's game points to permit game play on the game stage, and the second operation is performed. When the operation is selected by the user, game play on the game stage is permitted without subtracting the game points associated with the game stage from the user's game points. The reward granting unit is configured to reward the user more by playing the game on the game stage when the game play on the game stage is started by the second operation than when the game play on the game stage is started by the first operation. reduce the amount of compensation given to

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-191919

However, in the information processing device of Patent Document 1, when the user has an excessively large number of points compared to the fixed number of points that are used to execute the quest, the information processing device does not allow the user to execute the quest in order to consume the points. It has not yet solved the inconvenience of having to execute the process many times.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an information processing device and an information processing program that allow users a high degree of freedom in how to use their points.

The information processing device of the present invention includes a setting section and a reward giving section. The setting unit sets a first point as a maximum value of points that can be used for a quest, and a plurality of second points smaller than the first point, respectively, in correspondence with the quest. The reward granting unit provides a smaller reward when one of the plurality of second points is consumed in a quest than when the first point is consumed in a quest to which the first point is associated. Grant to user.

According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the user's degree of freedom in how to use the points he/she owns.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the electrical configuration of the server. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the electrical configuration of a user terminal. FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of processing at the server.

A game information processing system 10 shown in FIG. 1 is an example of an information processing system in which a user plays a game using a communication network. The game information processing system includes a server 11 and a user terminal 12. The server 11 and the user terminal 12 are connected via a communication network 15, so that the server 11 and the user terminal 12 perform data communication with each other.

The communication network 15 may be an existing network, such as the Internet, a mobile phone network, a wireless WAN (Wireless Wide Area Network), or a wireless LAN (Local Area Network). Note that another server (hereinafter referred to as an external server) may be connected to the communication network 15.

The user terminal 12 is a terminal used by a user to play a game. In this example, only one user terminal 12 is depicted in FIG. 1 with one user. However, the number of users and the number of user terminals 12 are not limited to this example. For example, even in the case of single play (single play, solo play), if multiple users are playing games in parallel, there will be multiple user terminals 12. Furthermore, in the case of multi-play (competitive play, cooperative play, etc.) played by a plurality of people, the number of user terminals 12 may be two or three or more. In this way, the number of users and the number of user terminals 12 are determined depending on the type of game, play mode, etc., and are not particularly limited.

In this example, the user terminal 12 used by the game user is a smartphone. However, the user terminal 12 is not limited to the smart fin, and may be a known device such as a tablet terminal, a personal computer, a stationary game machine, or a portable game machine.

The server 11 is an example of an embodiment of the present invention. The server 11 transmits and receives data to and from the user terminal 12, and executes processing related to the game.

The game consists of a plurality of quests, and the user selects and executes a desired quest from these quests. A quest is generally also referred to as a search, a mission, etc., and has multiple stages or missions that the user must clear, and progresses as the user's character etc. sequentially performs the processing of each stage or mission. It's something that will happen. Predetermined points are consumed to execute the quest. In this example, a plurality of quests are provided in which points to be consumed (hereinafter referred to as consumption points) are set to be much larger than, for example, conventional quests. The user can consume a large amount of points that he/she owns (hereinafter referred to as "possessed points") by executing a quest for which the consumption points are set to be large in this way. Possession points are also referred to as stamina, action power, etc., for example. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of quests are displayed as a selectable list on the touch panel display 21 of the user terminal 12, and consumption points are set for each quest. Figure 2 shows four quests: a point 100 quest with a consumption point of 100, a point 200 quest with a consumption point of 200, a point 300 quest with a consumption point of 300, and a point 400 quest with a consumption point of 400. has been done. The user selects a desired quest from among these quests by touching the displayed portion, and executes the quest by consuming consumption points of the owned points.

As shown in FIG. 3, the server 11 includes a setting section 31 and a remuneration section 32. It is preferable that the server 11 further includes a control section 33, a user information storage section 36, a progress section 37, an image generation section 38, a quest information storage section 39, and the like, and this is also the case in this example. However, the control unit 33, user information storage unit 36, progress unit 37, and image generation unit 38 may be provided in an external server (not shown) different from the server 11. Note that in FIG. 3, illustration of the communication network 15 (see FIG. 1) is omitted.

The control unit 33 is connected to the user terminal 12 via the communication network 15 (see FIG. 1), and controls processing related to the game in response to acquisition of various information (signals) from the user terminal 12. Specifically, the control section 33 is connected to each section in the server 11 other than the control section 33, and controls these sections in an integrated manner.

The user information storage unit 36 stores points owned by a user in association with identification information of the user. For example, in FIG. 2, "Point 320" is displayed at the upper left end of the touch panel display 21 of the user terminal 12, and this "320" point is associated with the user identification information in the user information storage unit 36 as the owned point. is memorized.

The user information storage unit 36 may further store various information such as the user's rank in the game in association with the user's identification information, which is also done in this example. In FIG. 2, "Rank 73" is displayed in the upper center of the touch panel display 21, and this rank "73" is stored in the user information storage unit 36 in association with the user identification information. Note that the owned points may be set according to the rank.

The quest information storage unit 39 stores quests and consumption points in association with each other. When there are a plurality of quests as in this example, the quest information storage unit 39 stores the plurality of quests and the corresponding consumption points in association with each other.

When a quest is selected by the user, the control unit 33 subtracts the consumed points set for the quest from the user's owned points (subtraction process), and uses the subtracted points as the user's new owned points. The information is newly stored in the information storage unit 36. At this time, you may store the new ownership points by overwriting the ownership points before the subtraction, or you can store the new ownership points in addition to the ownership points before the subtraction, that is, while leaving the ownership points before the subtraction as a history. Possession points may also be stored.

The control unit 33 performs the process of subtracting owned points and controls the progress unit 37 to start progressing the quest, thereby allowing the user to execute the quest. The progression unit 37 acquires input information input to the user terminal 12 through the user's operation via the control unit 33, and advances the quest in response to this acquisition.

The progression section 37 is for advancing the quest. The progress section 37 includes a storage section (not shown), and the quest progress program is stored in the storage section. The progress program is a program that progresses the quest. When an input operation is performed on the user terminal 12 and the input information is sent to the progression unit 37 via the control unit 33, the progression unit 37 advances the quest based on the input information.

When a user selects a quest using the user terminal 12, an execution request requesting execution of the quest is sent to the server 11 prior to the selection. The control unit 33 of the server 11 reads the user information storage unit 36 when acquiring an execution request requesting execution of a quest from the user terminal 12. When the control unit 33 reads out the user identification information acquired from the user terminal 12 from the user information storage unit 36, the control unit 33 accepts the execution request and controls the setting unit 31. This control is a point setting request that causes the setting unit 31 to set a first point and a second point, which will be described later. If the control unit 33 does not read the user identification information, the control unit 33 controls the setting unit 31 after generating user identification information and the like and storing it in the user information storage unit 36, for example. The control section 33 sends user identification information to the setting section 31 in order to control the setting section 31 .

The setting unit 31 reads user identification information and owned points associated with this user identification information from the user information storage unit 36 under the control of the control unit 33 . The setting unit 31 also identifies and reads out quests that can be executed by the user from the quest information storage unit 39.

In this example, there are normal quests and quests that consume a large amount of points, which are divided according to the points consumed. Normal quests are quests that are set to consume roughly the same points as conventional quests (for example, around 60 points at most), and point-intensive quests are quests that are set to consume points that are much larger than conventional quests. It's a quest. There are usually multiple quests, but one is fine. In this example, consumption points are set in advance for normal quests, but for point-mass consumption quests, the setting unit 31 sets the maximum value of points that can be used for each of the point-mass consumption quests. A first point and a plurality of second points smaller than the first point are set corresponding to each quest. Since there is at least one first point and at least two second points, there are at least three point-intensive quests that correspond to each of these points. In this example, the consumption points are set in advance for the normal quest, but they may be set by the setting unit 31 or the settings may be changed. The setting unit 31 sends the first points and second points set in association with the point large consumption quest to the control unit 33 as a point setting notification. The control unit 33 includes a control storage unit (not shown) that stores information on point setting notifications, and stores information on acquired point setting notifications.

The first point may be set to any value, and the second point may be set to any value as long as it is set smaller than the first point.

The setting unit 31 may set a first point and a plurality of second points, each corresponding to a quest, based on the read owned points. In this case, the first point may be set equal to the owned point, or may be set smaller than the owned point. For example, if the number of owned points is 320 as in the example shown in FIG. 2, the first point may be set to 320, or the first point may be set to 300 points, rounding down to less than 100 points. In this way, the first point may be set by a calculation that cuts off points less than a predetermined point.

Further, for a quest that consumes a large amount of points, a setting may be provided to increase the owned points when a predetermined condition is satisfied. In this case, the first points may be set based on the increased owned points (hereinafter referred to as recovery points). The predetermined conditions for making a point into a recovery point include, for example, elapsed time when points are increased with elapsed time, charging when points are increased by charging, recovery of points according to increase in rank, etc. . Note that when the owned points increase, the owned points may increase beyond the maximum value of the owned points according to the rank. Recovery points are also applied to the point-intensive quest in this example. If the number of owned points is 320 as in the example shown in Figure 2, and 100 points are added due to billing, the recovery point will be 420, so this recovery point is used as the number of owned points for setting the first point. used as Therefore, if the first point is set equal to the owned point, the first point is set to 420, and if less than 100 points are rounded down, the first point is set to 400 points, which is obtained by rounding down 20 points of 420 points. In this example, the first point is set by rounding down points less than 100 points, and in Figure 2, the topmost display part of the display parts of multiple quests displays "Point 400 Quest" with 400 points as the first point. ” is drawn. In this way, provided quests are displayed on the user terminal 12, and the user requests execution by touching the displayed portion of the quest.

It is preferable that the setting unit 31 sets the interval between the plurality of second points within the range of the first point based on the user's owned points. That is, the setting unit 31 sets the interval between the plurality of second points in the range from 0 to the first point, based on the owned points stored in the user information storage unit 36 in association with the user identification information. is preferred. The interval between the plurality of second points is the point interval between each of the plurality of second points when setting a plurality of different second points, that is, the difference between the second points. The interval (difference) between the largest one of the plurality of second points and the first point may be equal to or different from the point interval between each of the plurality of second points, and in this example, the interval is equal to the point interval between the plurality of second points. are doing. Furthermore, in this example, three second points are set. The setting unit 31 may accept a change in the interval between the second points from the user.

In this example, where recovery point settings are provided, the interval between three second points is set to 100 points. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, a "300 point quest" with a second point of 300, a "200 point quest" with a second point of 200, and a "100 point quest" with a second point of 100 are set.

The setting unit 31 specifies point-consuming quests to be displayed in a list on the user terminal 12 based on the points owned by the user. In this example, the user owns 420 points as recovery points, the first point is 400 points, and the second point is 300, 200, and 100 points at intervals of 100 points. Therefore, the quests to be displayed in a list are specified as quests that consume a large amount of points, such as 400 point quests, 300 point quests, 200 point quests, and 100 point quests with which these points are associated. If the first points are not owned points, but are set to 500 points in advance, other setting conditions are set in the same way as in this example, and the user cannot consume points larger than 420 points, the first A point mass consumption quest with 500 points and a point mass consumption quest with second points of 400, 300, 200, and 100 are once set. However, in this case, the user cannot execute a point-mass consumption quest with 500 points. Therefore, the maximum possible second point can be reset as the first point, and 400 points can be set as the first point. As an alternative to this mode, a point-mass consumption quest with a consumption point of 500 is displayed on the user terminal 12 while the first point remains at 500 points, but this point-mass consumption quest may not be selectable.

The reward granting unit 32 determines that when any one of the plurality of second points is consumed, the reward is smaller than when the first point is consumed in the point mass consumption quest to which the first point is associated. Grant rewards to users. That is, when the user selects one of the plurality of point large consumption quests to which the second points are associated, the reward granting unit 32 determines that the point large consumption quest to which the first points are associated is selected. Give the user a smaller reward than would otherwise be the case.

Rewards include gold, items used to evolve and synthesize game objects, weapons and armor, etc. These rewards include fixed rewards that are guaranteed to be given when the quest is completed (cleared) satisfying predetermined conditions, and rewards that are different from such fixed rewards. There may be more than one fixed reward. The remuneration different from the fixed remuneration is a lottery remuneration determined by a lottery.

It is preferable that the reward giving unit 32 rewards the user based on a reward set in advance corresponding to the consumption points. The reward giving unit 32 of this example acquires the first points and second points set by the setting unit 31 via the control unit 33, and sets the reward in response to this acquisition. Since the first point is larger than the second point, a higher reward will be given to the user for a point-intensive quest associated with the first point than for a point-intensive quest associated with the second point. It is set like this. In addition, among the multiple secondary points, for a point-consuming quest that is associated with one relatively high point, a higher reward will be given to the user than a point-consuming quest that is associated with a lower one. It is set. Note that the relative relationship (value) between upper and lower remuneration can be set based on, for example, the number of fixed remuneration.

The reward granting unit 32 may set thresholds for dividing consumption points into levels, and grant a fixed reward for each threshold. Further, it is preferable to select a reward using a threshold value, and this is also done in this example. For example, the reward granting unit 32 of this example sets a threshold value and selects at least one reward from a plurality of preset rewards with a probability based on the surplus obtained by subtracting the threshold value from the consumed possession points. Grant to user. It is preferable that the higher the probability, the higher the fixed reward.

Since the threshold value is a value that divides the consumption points into levels, it may be one or more than one. Set three or more threshold values, each of which is X(1), X(2), X(3),... (However, X(1), X(2), ), the intervals between the thresholds (the difference calculated by X(n+1) - X(n), where n is a natural number) may be the same or , may be different.

The surplus is a subtracted value (unit: points) obtained by subtracting from Y the largest threshold among the thresholds set smaller than Y, where Y is the consumed owned points. The probability is a percentage (unit: %) obtained by dividing the surplus by a threshold value. For example, the consumed ownership points Y are 220 points, and the threshold values are X(1) = 100 points, X(2) = 200 points, X(3) = 300 points, X(4) = 400 points, etc. *, the largest threshold among the thresholds set smaller than Y is X(2). Therefore, the surplus in this case is 20 points calculated by 220-200, and the probability is 20% calculated by {(220-200)/200}×100. Further, a reward different from the fixed reward may be given to the surplus amount.

In this example, solo play is used as an example, but multiplayer play is also possible. In the case of multi-play, and when each user is set as a host and a guest, the reward giving unit 32 sets the rewards set for the host user and the guest user so that they are different from each other. It may be set to For example, there is a mode in which a fixed reward is set and given to a host user according to the points owned, and a fixed reward is set and given to a guest user regardless of the points owned. As another example, a fixed reward is set and given to a host user according to the points consumed, and a fixed reward is set and given to a guest user regardless of the points consumed. There are ways to do so. As yet another example, there is a mode in which the fixed remuneration for the host user is set to be larger than the fixed remuneration for the guest user.

The reward giving unit 32 sends each set reward to the control unit 33 as a reward setting notification. When the control unit 33 obtains the remuneration setting notification, the control unit 33 controls the image generation unit 38 to generate an image to be displayed on the user terminal 12. Note that the control unit 33 stores information on the acquired remuneration setting notification in a control storage unit (not shown) in association with the point setting notification.

In this example, a normal quest and a point-mass consumption quest are provided, and when the control unit 33 receives a quest execution request from the user terminal 12, the control unit 33 sends the normal quest and point-mass consumption quest to the image generation unit 38. Both the quest and the request to display the image are generated. For example, in FIG. 4, the touch panel display 21 of the user terminal 12 displays a first display portion QA indicating a point-mass consumption quest and two second display portions QB1 and QB2 indicating normal quests. When the user touches the first display part QA of the user terminal 12 and selects a point-mass consumption quest, the control unit 33 controls the setting unit 31 and controls the reward giving unit 32, and then performs control as shown in FIG. 2. The image generating unit 38 generates an image displaying a list of point-consuming quests such as the following. Then, when the user touches and selects any one of the multiple point mass consumption quests QA1, QA2, QA3, and QA4 displayed on the user terminal 12, the selected point mass consumption quest is executed. The progress section 37 is controlled to start the process. The control unit 33 controls the progression unit 37 even while the quest is in progress. On the other hand, when the user selects a normal quest by touching the second user display portions QB1 and QB2 shown in FIG. I will do it.

The control unit 33 may limit the number of point-intensive consumption quests per unit period to a predetermined number of times. This has increased the significance of the existence of point-intensive quests for users. The unit period may be a time unit such as one day (24 hours) or 12 hours, and the unit period may be set based on a time such as 0:00 to 24:00. In this example, the limit on the number of times is set to only once per 24 hours (one day) from 0:00 to 24:00.

As shown in FIG. 5, an example of the electrical configuration of the server 11 includes a control processing device 51 including a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a main storage device 52 including a RAM (Random Access Memory). , an auxiliary storage device 53 including an HDD (Hard Disc Drive), an input device 54 including a mouse and a keyboard, an output device 55 including a display and speakers, and a communication control device 56 including a network interface card. , has. Note that a device such as an MPU (Micro-Processing Unit) or a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) may be used instead of the CPU.

The main storage device 52, the auxiliary storage device 53, the input device 54, the output device 55, and the communication control device 56 are each connected to the control processing device 51 via a bus line. The control processing device 51 (1) loads the information processing program stored in the auxiliary storage device 53 onto the main storage device 52, and (2) executes the communication between the input device 54, the auxiliary storage device 53, and the communication control device according to instructions from the information processing program. 56, (3) calculate and process the acquired data according to the procedure specified in the information processing program, and (4) store the calculated and processed data in the auxiliary storage device 53. and at least one of the output device 55 and the communication control device 56.

The information processing program is a program that causes a computer to execute a setting step and a reward granting step. In the setting step, a first point as the maximum value of points usable for the quest and a plurality of second points smaller than the first point are respectively set in correspondence with the quest. In the reward granting step, when any one of the plurality of second points is consumed in the quest, a smaller reward is given than when the first point is consumed in the quest to which the first point is associated. Grant to user.

The control section 33 , the setting section 31 , the reward giving section 32 , the progress section 37 , and the image generation section 38 are configured to include a control processing device 51 and a communication control device 56 . The user information storage section 36, the quest information storage section 39, and the control storage section of the control section 33 are configured to include an auxiliary storage device 53 and a main storage device 52.

An example of the electrical configuration of the user terminal 12 is as shown in FIG. -Only Memory) 64, a touch panel display 21 constituting an input section and a display section, a speaker 68 constituting an audio output section, a NIC (Network Interface Controller) 71 and a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) constituting a communication control section. ) a chip 72. Note that a device such as an MPU (Micro-Processing Unit) may be used instead of the DSP. The user terminal may further include a keyboard as an input unit.

The RAM 62, ROM 63, EEPROM 64, touch panel display 21, speaker 68, NIC 71, and wireless LAN chip 72 are each connected to the DSP 61 via a bus line. The DSP 61 (1) reads a program stored in the ROM 63 or EEPROM 64 onto the RAM 62, (2) acquires data from at least one of the touch panel display 21, the EEPROM 64, the NIC 71, and the wireless LAN chip 72 according to the instructions of the program; (3) After calculating and processing the acquired data according to the procedure specified in the program, (4) transferring the calculated and processed data to at least the EEPROM 64, the touch panel display 21, the speaker 68, the NIC 71, and the wireless LAN chip 72. Provide to either. Note that application software that can execute a quest of a game composed of a plurality of quests is downloaded to the user terminal 12, and the quest is executed on the user terminal 12 under the control of the server.

The operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. When the control unit 33 acquires a quest execution request from the user terminal 12, the control unit 33 reads the user information storage unit 36 and then sends a request to set the first point and the second point to the setting unit 31 to control the setting unit 31. The setting unit 31 sets a first point and a plurality of (three in this example) second points. The first point and the plurality of second points are set in association with different point-mass consumption quests. In this way, since quests with different consumption points are provided as point-mass consumption quests, the user has an increased degree of freedom in how to use the points he/she owns. Furthermore, the user can select a quest to perform with an eye on the reward.

The setting unit 31 reads the owned points of the user from the user information storage unit 36, and sets the first point and the plurality of second points based on the read owned points. This makes it easier for users to use up their points (all consumption), for example when applying recovery points or when owning points that exceed the upper limit of points according to rank. Even if you are recovering from over stamina, you will be able to use up all your points.

Since the setting unit 31 sets the intervals between the plurality of second points within the range of the first point based on the user's owned points read from the user information storage unit 36, it is convenient for the user to use the owned points. is improving.

Based on the owned points read from the user information storage unit 36, the setting unit 31 identifies, for example, point-intensive quests that can be executed by the user as quests to be displayed in a list on the user terminal 12. The identified quests are shown in an image displayed as a list by the image generation unit 38 under the control of the control unit 33, and the generated image is displayed on the user terminal 12. In this way, the setting unit 31 specifies the quests to be displayed in a list on the user terminal 12 based on the owned points, so the convenience of using the owned points is improved for the user who uses the user terminal 12 on which the list is displayed. are doing.

The first points and second points set in association with the point-mass consumption quest are sent to the control unit 33 as a point setting notification. The control unit 33 sends a point setting notification and a remuneration setting request to the remuneration granting unit 32 to set a remuneration according to the consumed points, such as a first point and a plurality of second points. In addition, instead of a reward setting request that sets a reward according to consumed points, the first point is set so that the reward when the second point is consumed is smaller than the reward when the first point is consumed. It may also be a remuneration setting request that sets each of the first point and the second point.

The reward granting unit 32 sets a reward for each consumption point, corresponding to each consumption point such as the first point and a plurality of second points that have been sent. In this example, the first point, 400 points, is used as the reference value for leveling, and the range from 0 points to 400 points is divided into levels for each 100 points, so 100 points, 200 points, 300 points, and 400 points are The threshold values are X(1), X(2), X(3), and X(4), respectively. Then, rewards corresponding to probabilities using each of these threshold values are set, and each of the set rewards is sent from the reward giving unit 32 to the control unit 33 as a reward setting notification. Since the user is rewarded according to the points consumed, the user can obtain a greater sense of satisfaction from completing the quest.

In response to the acquisition of the reward setting notification, the control unit 33 generates a list display of point large consumption quests corresponding to the first points and the second points, and transmits the list to the user terminal 12. A request (hereinafter referred to as a display request) is sent to the image generation unit. At this time, the control unit 33 sends a point setting notification and a reward setting notification to the image generation unit 38, and the image generation unit 38 generates an image in which each point large consumption quest is associated with the corresponding consumption points. The generated list display image of point-intensive quests is sent to the user terminal 12 and displayed.

When a selection request is made to the user terminal 12 to select one quest from the displayed list, the control unit 33 performs a subtraction process based on the selection request, and requests the progress unit 37 to select one quest. Send an execution instruction to execute the requested quest. The progression unit 37 advances the quest under the control of the control unit 33, and provides the user with a reward stored in the control storage unit of the control unit 33 at a predetermined timing. In this way, the reward granting unit 32 grants the user a reward via the control unit 33 and the progression unit 37. The awarded reward is stored in the user information storage unit 36 via the control unit 33 and displayed on the user terminal via the control unit 33 and the image generation unit 38.

<Additional notes>
The information processing device of the present invention includes a setting section and a reward giving section. The setting unit sets a first point as a maximum value of points that can be used for a quest, and a plurality of second points smaller than the first point, respectively, in correspondence with the quest. The reward granting unit provides a smaller reward when one of the plurality of second points is consumed in a quest than when the first point is consumed in a quest to which the first point is associated. Grant to user. Thereby, the user's degree of freedom in how to use the points he/she owns can be improved.

The information processing device further includes a user information storage unit that stores points owned by a user of the game in association with identification information of the user, and the setting unit is configured to set the first points based on the points owned by the user. preferable. This allows the user to use up all the points he or she owns.

It is further preferable that the setting unit specifies quests to be displayed in a list based on points owned by the user. This improves the convenience for the user in how to use the points.

It is preferable that the setting unit sets the interval between the plurality of second points within the range of the first point based on the user's points. This allows the user to select other consumption points in addition to the option of using up all of the owned points.

It is preferable that the reward giving unit rewards the user based on a reward set in advance corresponding to the points consumed. This makes it possible to more reliably increase the user's sense of satisfaction with having completed the quest.

The reward granting unit sets a threshold value for classifying consumed points into levels, and selects at least one reward from a plurality of preset rewards with a probability based on the surplus obtained by subtracting the threshold value from the consumed points. It is preferable to give Thereby, the sense of satisfaction with playing the game can be more reliably increased.

The information processing program of the present invention is a program that causes a computer to execute a setting step and a reward granting step. In the setting step, a first point as the maximum value of points usable for the quest and a plurality of second points smaller than the first point are respectively set in correspondence with the quest. In the reward granting step, when any one of the plurality of second points is consumed in the quest, a smaller reward is given than when the first point is consumed in the quest to which the first point is associated. Grant to user.
