<<System Overview>>
Here, an overview of the system in this embodiment will be explained.
In the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, the user selects a favorite game from among a wide variety of games provided by the information processing system 1, and installs the game one after another on his or her client terminal 10, thereby playing multiple games. Games can be played in parallel. Conventionally, a user who plays multiple games in parallel plays each game on his or her client terminal 10 while shifting the playing time.

For example, when a user plays "Game A" and "Game B" that belong to the same or different genres in parallel, he or she first starts "Game A" and then tries to strengthen his or her "Character A" by combining them. , go around (play repeatedly) "Lottery A" and "Quest A" to collect "synthetic material character A", etc. Next, when you finish "Game A", you start "Game B", and in order to strengthen your "Character B" through synthesis, you go around "Lottery B" and "Quest B", and use "Synthesis Material Character B". ” etc.

In this way, even if games belonging to the same or different genres have different game rules, how to proceed, characters appearing, types of quests, etc., what the user must do in the game is similar to each other. (In other words, game structures such as lottery, combination, and round quests are often similar to each other).

Therefore, even though the time that users can spend playing games in a day is limited, they have to play similar games in each game, which can make them feel like a waste of time. was there. In particular, going around quests for purposes such as collecting characters can be a monotonous task for the user, and playing multiple games in parallel can be a burden.

For example, when a user plays "Game C" and "Game D" that belong to the same or different genres, he starts "Game C" first, and in order to increase his "Rank C", he plays "Game C" and "Game D" in parallel. Go around Quest C. Next, when "Game C" is finished, "Game D" is started, and the player goes around "Quest D" in order to increase his or her "rank D".

In this way, regardless of the genre, even if the game rules, how to proceed, or the types of characters and quests that appear are different, what the user must do in the game is similar to each other. There are many (in other words, the game structures such as rank increase, level increase, round quest, etc. are often similar to each other).

Therefore, even though the time that users can spend playing games in a day is limited, they have to play similar games in each game, which can make them feel like a waste of time. was there. In particular, going around quests for the purpose of increasing one's rank or the like becomes a monotonous task for the user, and playing multiple games in parallel can be a burden.

Therefore, in this embodiment, by setting in advance information that should be associated with each other between games (for example, character information, item information, quest information, lottery information, composite information, user play information, etc.), each Multiple games are linked together so that their gameplay influences each other.

For example, if a user is playing "Game A" and "Game B" that belong to the same or different genres in parallel, and "Game A" and "Game B" are linked, When you play "Synthetic material character A" and acquire "Synthetic material character A", even if you have not played "Game B" at that time, you can play "Synthetic material character A" of "Game B" that has been associated with "Synthetic material character A". "Synthetic material character B" can also be automatically acquired.

As a result, compared to playing "Game A" and collecting characters dedicated to "Game A" and playing "Game B" and collecting characters dedicated to "Game B," the play Saves time. As a result, the burden on the user who plays multiple games in parallel can be reduced.

For example, if a user is playing "Game A" and "Game B" that belong to the same or different genres in parallel, and "Game A" and "Game B" are linked, the user may If you play "Game A" and synthesize "synthesis material character A" with "character A", it will be associated with "character A" in advance even if you are not playing "game B" at that time. ``Character B'' of ``Game B'' can be automatically synthesized with ``Synthesis material character B'' of ``Game B'', which is previously associated with the ``Synthesis material character A''.

As a result, compared to playing "Game A" and synthesizing a character exclusive to "Game A", and playing "Game B" and synthesizing a character exclusive to "Game B", respectively. , you can save playing time. As a result, the burden on the user who plays multiple games in parallel can be reduced.

For example, if a user is playing "Game A" and "Game B" that belong to the same or different genres in parallel, and "Game A" and "Game B" are linked, the user may If you play "Game A" and sell "Character A" that you no longer need, even if you are not playing "Game B" at that time, instead of losing that "Character A", that "Character A" It is also possible to automatically acquire ``Character B'' of ``Game B'', which is associated in advance with ``Character B''.

As a result, you can play "Game A" and sell/acquire characters exclusive to "Game A", and play "Game B" and sell/acquire characters exclusive to "Game B". It saves you playing time compared to other games. As a result, the burden on the user who plays multiple games in parallel can be reduced.

For example, if a user is playing "Game C" and "Game D" that belong to the same or different genres in parallel, and the "Game C" and "Game D" are linked, the user may When you play "Game C" and increase your "Rank C", even if you have not played "Game D" at that time, "Game D" which has been previously associated with that "Rank C" "Rank D" of "Rank D" can also be automatically raised.

As a result, compared to playing "Game C" to increase your "Rank C" and playing "Game D" to increase your "Rank D", the play Saves time. As a result, the burden on the user who plays multiple games in parallel can be reduced.

Here, clear rewards including at least acquired characters and acquired items are displayed.

Next, returning to FIG. 14, when a user who wishes to acquire a clear reward selects the operation button 502 on the result screen 500, the operation reception unit 150 of the client terminal 10 receives the operation input from the user (step S12). .

Next, when the operation reception unit 150 receives the user's operation input in this way, the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 recognizes that the user who played the first game has acquired at least a character or an item as a clear reward. Accordingly, the server access unit 102 is requested to execute user information update processing.

When the server access unit 102 of the client terminal 10 is requested to update user information by the game execution unit 101, the server access unit 102 updates the user information based on the clear rewards (acquired characters, acquired items, etc.) that the user has acquired in one game. A request regarding the update process is sent to the server device 20 along with the user ID, game ID, character ID, item ID, etc. (step S13).

Next, upon receiving the request from the client terminal 10, the request processing unit 201 of the server device 20 requests the user support unit 202 to execute data update processing.

When the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 is requested to execute data update processing from the request processing unit 201, the user support unit 202 refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 223 and updates the user ID corresponding to the transmitted user ID. The user information of the user is specified, and the play information set in the specified user information is specified (see FIG. 12).

The user support unit 202 of the server device 20 updates the data of the specified play information, associates it with the one game corresponding to the transmitted game ID, and selects the acquired character corresponding to the transmitted character ID. The acquired item corresponding to the transmitted item ID is set as the user's owned character and the acquired item corresponding to the transmitted item ID is set as the user's owned item (step S14).

Next, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 determines whether or not the acquisition of characters and items in one game will affect the other games among the games that are linked to each other. Step S15).

Specifically, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 refers to the correspondence information stored in the correspondence information storage unit 222 and selects the linked game that is associated with the one game that corresponds to the transmitted game ID. At the same time, the corresponding content data associated with the identified linked game in advance is also specified (see FIG. 10).

Then, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 223, and selects other games that match the identified linked game from among the games that the user is playing. Extract the game.

Next, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20, based on the specified correspondence content data, allows the user to play the game corresponding to the transmitted game ID with respect to the other extracted games. Determine whether or not the acquisition of characters and items has an effect.

For example, if the specified correspondence content data is data in which character information set in the game information stored in the game information storage unit 221 is associated with each other, the influence of acquiring the character is It is determined that it is given for the game. However, if the data does not associate character information with each other, it is determined that the data does not affect other extracted games.

For example, if the identified correspondence content data is data in which item information set in the game information stored in the game information storage unit 221 is associated with each other, the influence of acquiring the item is It is determined that it is given to other games. However, if the item information is not associated with each other, it is determined that it does not affect other extracted games.

Next, when the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 determines that the other extracted games will not be affected (step S15: NO), this process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the other extracted games will be affected (step S15: YES), even if the user is not playing the other games at this point, The user is supported by treating the character or item as having been acquired (step S16).

Specifically, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 determines whether the specified correspondence content data is, for example, data in which character information set in the game information stored in the game information storage unit 221 is associated with each other. Then, based on the correspondence content data, an acquired character of another game that is previously associated with the acquired character corresponding to the transmitted character ID is specified.

In addition, if the specified correspondence content data is, for example, data in which item information set in the game information stored in the game information storage unit 221 is associated with each other, the transmission is performed based on the correspondence content data. An acquired item of another game that is associated in advance with the acquired item corresponding to the item ID is specified.

Then, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 updates the play information of the user, associates it with the extracted other game, and updates the acquired characters and acquired items of the identified other game. It is set as a character owned by the user or an item owned by the user (see FIG. 12).

In this way, a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel can play one game (first game) and acquire characters and items (first content), then play other games. Even if you are not playing the (second game) at that time, you can obtain characters and items (second content) that are associated with the player in advance. Therefore, compared to the case where characters and items are acquired individually by playing one game and another game, it is possible to save playing time and reduce the burden on the user.

<Specific example 2>
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an operation example (part 2) of the information processing system 1 in this embodiment. In a second specific example, a case will be described in which, among games that are linked to each other, combining characters in one game affects the other games.

The display control unit 103 of the client terminal 10 generates a composite screen 600 and displays the composite screen 600 when the user starts playing one of the multiple games that are linked to each other and specifies a composite character and a composite material character. 160 (step S31).

FIG. 17 is an image diagram showing an example of the composite screen 600. This compositing screen 600 includes a compositing source character display area 601 showing the compositing source character specified by the user, a compositing material character display area 602 showing the compositing material character specified by the user, and a compositing source character display area 602 showing the compositing material character specified by the user. It includes an operation button 603 for compositing the original character and the composite material character.

Next, returning to FIG. 16, when the user who wishes to synthesize these characters selects the operation button 603 on the synthesis screen 600, the operation reception unit 150 of the client terminal 10 receives the operation input from the user (step S32). .

Next, when the operation reception unit 150 receives the user's operation input, the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 synthesizes the synthesis source character and the synthesis material character specified by the user. The parameter set to is increased (step S33).

Here, it is assumed that the maximum value of the parameter set for the character to be synthesized is increased by this synthesis. Note that, through this synthesis, the current value of the parameter set for the compositing source character may be increased.

Next, when the compositing source character specified by the user and the compositing material character are composited in this way, the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 determines that the parameters of the compositing source character have increased in one game due to such compositing. Accordingly, the server access unit 102 is requested to execute user information update processing.

When the server access unit 102 of the client terminal 10 is requested to update user information from the game execution unit 101, the server access unit 102 of the client terminal 10 updates the characters (the compositing source character and the compositing material character) that the user used for compositing in one game. Based on this, a request regarding the update process is sent to the server device 20 along with the user ID, game ID, character ID, various parameters, etc. (step S34).

Next, upon receiving the request from the client terminal 10, the request processing unit 201 of the server device 20 requests the user support unit 202 to execute data update processing.

When the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 is requested to execute data update processing from the request processing unit 201, the user support unit 202 refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 223 and updates the user ID corresponding to the transmitted user ID. The user information of the user is specified, and the play information set in the specified user information is specified (see FIG. 12).

The user support unit 202 of the server device 20 updates the data of the specified play information, associates it with the one game corresponding to the transmitted game ID, and connects it to the compositing source character corresponding to the transmitted character ID. At the same time, the synthetic material character corresponding to the transmitted character ID is excluded from the characters possessed by the user associated with the first game (step S35).

Next, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 determines whether or not the combination of characters in one game affects the other games among the games that are linked to each other (step S36). ).

Specifically, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 refers to the correspondence information stored in the correspondence information storage unit 222 and selects the linked game that is associated with the one game that corresponds to the transmitted game ID. At the same time, the corresponding content data associated with the identified linked game in advance is also specified (see FIG. 10).

Then, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 223, and selects other games that match the identified linked game from among the games that the user is playing. Extract the game.

Next, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20, based on the specified correspondence content data, allows the user to play the game corresponding to the transmitted game ID with respect to the other extracted games. Determine whether or not there is an effect due to compositing characters.

For example, if the identified correspondence content data is data in which character information and composition information set in the game information stored in the game information storage unit 221 are associated with each other, the influence of character composition is extracted. It is determined that the game is given to other games that have been played. However, if the data does not associate character information and composite information with each other, it is determined that the data does not affect other extracted games.

Next, when the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 determines that the other extracted games will not be affected (step S36: NO), this process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the other extracted games will be affected (step S36: YES), even if the user is not playing the other games at this point, The user is supported by treating the character as a composite (step S37).

Specifically, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 determines that the specified correspondence content data is data in which, for example, character information and composite information set in the game information stored in the game information storage unit 221 are associated with each other. If so, based on the correspondence content data, identify the compositing source character of another game that is previously associated with the compositing source character corresponding to the transmitted character ID, and A synthetic material character of another game that is previously associated with a corresponding synthetic material character is identified.

The user support unit 202 of the server device 20 then synthesizes the specified other game by synthesizing the specified synthesis source character of the other game with the specified synthesis material character of the other game. Increases the parameters set for the original character.

Here, it is assumed that the maximum value of the parameter set for the specified combination source character of the other game is increased. Note that, through this synthesis, the current value of the parameter set for the specified synthesis source character of the other game may be increased.

Subsequently, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 updates the play information of the user, associates it with the extracted other game, and after ascending to the combination source character of the identified other game. At the same time, the specified synthetic material characters of other games are excluded from the characters owned by the user (see FIG. 12).

In this way, a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel can play one game (first game) and synthesize the original character (first content), and then play the other games. Even if the game (second game) is not being played at the time, combination source characters (second content) that are associated in advance can be synthesized. Therefore, compared to the case where characters are individually synthesized by playing one game and another game, it is possible to save playing time and reduce the burden on the user.

(Modification 1)
Note that in the above specific example, the parameters set for the compositing source character are increased by compositing the compositing source character specified by the user with the compositing material character. It can also be applied to the case where the original character is evolved into the evolved character by combining the original character and the synthetic material character.

In this case, in the process of step 35 above, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 updates the data of the identified play information, associates it with the one game corresponding to the transmitted game ID, and The character is set as a possessed character, and the synthesis source character and synthesis material character corresponding to the transmitted character ID are excluded from the possession characters of the user associated with one game.

In this case, in the step 37, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 synthesizes the specified synthesis source character of the other game with the specified synthesis material character of the other game. Based on the synthesis information shown in FIG. 9, the specified synthesis source character of the other game is evolved into the evolved character. Subsequently, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 updates the play information of the user, associates it with the other extracted games, sets the evolved character as the possessed character, and updates the extracted character. The synthesis source character and synthesis material character of the specified other game are excluded from the characters possessed by the user associated with the other game specified (see FIG. 12).

As a result, users who are playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel can play one game (first game) and evolve the original character (first content) by compositing. Even if the game (second game) is not played at that time, the pre-correlated combination source character (second content) can be evolved by combining. Therefore, compared to the case where characters are individually evolved and synthesized by playing one game and another game, it is possible to save playing time and reduce the burden on the user.

(Modification 2)
In addition, in the above specific example, the case where the user owns both the compositing source character and the compositing material character from another game was explained as an example, but if the user owns the compositing source character from another game, However, it can be applied even if you do not have a synthetic material character.

In this case, in the process of step 37, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 updates the play information of the user, associates it with the other extracted game, and updates the play information of the user with the other game. Set the parameters after ascending for the compositing source character. At this time, since the user does not own the specified synthetic material character of the other game in the first place, there is no need to exclude it from the characters owned by the user.

In this way, a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel can play one game (first game) and synthesize the original character (first content), and then play the other games. Even if the player does not possess the material characters in the game (second game), it is possible to synthesize the combination source characters (second content) that are associated in advance. Therefore, compared to playing one game and another game and combining characters individually, it is possible to save playing time because there is no need to collect material characters in other games. The burden on the user can be reduced.

In addition, in the above-mentioned modification 1, the process similar to this modification 2 may be executed when the user owns a compositing source character in another game but does not possess a compositing material character. .

<Specific example 3>
FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an operation example (Part 3) of the information processing system 1 in this embodiment. In a third specific example, a case will be described in which, among games that are linked to each other, an increase in the user's rank in one game affects the other games.

The display control unit 103 of the client terminal 10 generates a rank-up screen 700 and displays it on the screen display unit 160 when the user ranks up based on the result of playing one of the multiple games that are linked to each other (step S51).

FIG. 19 is an image diagram showing an example of the rank up screen 700. This rank-up screen 700 includes a display area 701 that indicates that the user's rank has increased, and an operation button 702 that allows the user to confirm that the rank has increased.

Next, returning to FIG. 18, when the user who has confirmed that the rank has increased selects the operation button 702 on the rank-up screen 700, the operation reception unit 150 of the client terminal 10 accepts the operation input from the user (step S52 ).

Next, when the operation reception unit 150 receives the user's operation input, the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 increases the rank set for the user and recovers all the points the user has. (step S53).

Next, when the user ranks up in this way, the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 sends the user information to the server access unit 102 as parameters such as the user's rank and possession points increase in one game. request execution of update processing.

When the server access unit 102 of the client terminal 10 receives a request from the game execution unit 101 to update the user information, the server access unit 102 sends the request regarding the update process to the user ID based on the user's rank increase in one game. , game ID, various parameters, etc., to the server device 20 (step S54).

Next, upon receiving the request from the client terminal 10, the request processing unit 201 of the server device 20 requests the user support unit 202 to execute data update processing.

When the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 is requested to execute data update processing from the request processing unit 201, the user support unit 202 refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 223 and updates the user ID corresponding to the transmitted user ID. The user information of the user is specified, and the play information set in the specified user information is specified (see FIG. 12).

The user support unit 202 of the server device 20 updates the data of the specified play information, associates it with the one game corresponding to the transmitted game ID, and sets the transmitted rank after the increase. , sets the transmitted possession points after full recovery as the current value (step S55).

Next, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 determines whether or not the rank increase in one game affects the other games among the games that are linked to each other (step S56). .

Specifically, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 refers to the correspondence information stored in the correspondence information storage unit 222 and selects the linked game that is associated with the one game that corresponds to the transmitted game ID. At the same time, the corresponding content data associated with the identified linked game in advance is also specified (see FIG. 10).

Then, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 223, and selects other games that match the identified linked game from among the games that the user is playing. Extract the game.

Next, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20, based on the specified correspondence content data, allows the user to play the game corresponding to the transmitted game ID with respect to the other extracted games. Determine whether or not there will be an impact due to the rank increase.

For example, if the identified correspondence content data is data in which the play information set in the user information stored in the user information storage unit 223 is correlated with each other, the influence of the rank increase will be It is determined that it is given to the game. However, if the play information is not data associated with each other, it is determined that the other extracted games are not affected.

Next, when the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 determines that the other extracted games will not be affected (step S56: NO), this process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the other extracted games will be affected (step S56: YES), even if the user is not playing the other games at this point, The user is supported by treating the user as having been ranked up (step S57).

Specifically, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20, if the specified correspondence content data is, for example, data in which play information set in the user information stored in the user information storage unit 223 is associated with each other. Based on the corresponding content data, the user's rank in other games that has been previously associated with the transmitted rank is identified, and the user's rank in other games that has been previously associated with the transmitted possessed points is determined. Identify the points that users have.

Then, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 increases the user's rank in the specified other game and fully recovers the user's points in the specified other game.

Subsequently, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 updates the play information of the user, associates it with the other extracted games, and updates the play information of the user after the user's performance in the other identified games. In addition to setting the rank, the points possessed by the user after being fully recovered in the specified other game are set as the current value (see FIG. 12).

In this way, a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel can increase his rank and points (first parameter) by playing one game (the first game), and then play the other games. Even if the game (second game) is not played at that time, it is possible to increase the rank and points (second parameter) associated with the player in advance. Therefore, compared to playing one game and another game and ranking up separately, it is possible to save playing time and reduce the burden on the user.

<Specific example 4>
FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing an operation example (part 4) of the information processing system 1 in this embodiment. In a fourth specific example, a case will be described in which, among games that are linked to each other, the acquisition of benefits in one game affects the other games.

When a user logs in to one of a plurality of mutually linked games, the display control unit 103 of the client terminal 10 generates a login reward screen 800 and displays it on the screen display unit 160 (step S71).

FIG. 21 is an image diagram showing an example of the login reward screen 800. This login reward screen 800 includes a reward display area 801 in which login rewards are shown, and an operation button 802 for acquiring login rewards. Here, login rewards including at least tickets for the lottery (paid tickets or free tickets) are displayed.

Next, returning to FIG. 20, when a user who wishes to obtain a login reward selects the operation button 802 on the login reward screen 800, the operation reception unit 150 of the client terminal 10 accepts the user's operation input (step S72 ).

Next, when the operation reception unit 150 receives the user's operation input in this way, the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 determines that the user who has logged in to the first game has acquired at least a ticket as a benefit. The access unit 102 is requested to execute user information update processing.

When the server access unit 102 of the client terminal 10 is requested to update user information by the game execution unit 101, the server access unit 102 of the client terminal 10 performs a process related to the update process based on the login rewards (tickets, etc.) that the user has earned in one game. The request is sent to the server device 20 along with the user ID, game ID, reward data, etc. (step S73).

Next, upon receiving the request from the client terminal 10, the request processing unit 201 of the server device 20 requests the user support unit 202 to execute data update processing.

When the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 is requested to execute data update processing from the request processing unit 201, the user support unit 202 refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 223 and updates the user ID corresponding to the transmitted user ID. The user information of the user is specified, and the play information set in the specified user information is specified (see FIG. 12).

The user support unit 202 of the server device 20 updates the data of the specified play information, associates it with the one game corresponding to the transmitted game ID, and adds and sets the transmitted number of tickets ( Step S74).

Next, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 determines whether or not the benefit acquisition in one game affects the other games among the games that are linked to each other (step S75). .

Specifically, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 refers to the correspondence information stored in the correspondence information storage unit 222 and selects the linked game that is associated with the one game that corresponds to the transmitted game ID. At the same time, the corresponding content data associated with the identified linked game in advance is also specified (see FIG. 10).

Then, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 223, and selects other games that match the identified linked game from among the games that the user is playing. Extract the game.

Next, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20, based on the specified correspondence content data, allows the user to play the game corresponding to the transmitted game ID with respect to the other extracted games. Determine whether or not the acquisition of the benefit has an impact.

For example, if the identified correspondence content data is data in which play information set in the user information stored in the user information storage unit 223 is associated with each other, the influence of the user's award acquisition is extracted. It is determined that it is given to other games. However, if the play information is not data associated with each other, it is determined that the other extracted games are not affected.

Next, when the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 determines that the other extracted games will not be affected (step S75: NO), this process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the other extracted games will be affected (step S75: YES), even if the user is not playing the other games at this point, The user is supported by treating the user as having acquired the benefit (step S76).

Specifically, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20, if the specified correspondence content data is, for example, data in which play information set in the user information stored in the user information storage unit 223 is associated with each other. Then, based on the correspondence content data, the user's tickets for other games that are associated with the transmitted ticket in advance are identified.

Then, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 updates the play information of the user, associates it with the extracted other game, and adds and sets the number of tickets for the identified other game. (See Figure 12).

In this way, a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel can play one game (first game) and acquire a ticket (first acquisition item), then play another game ( Even if the player does not play the second game (second game) at that time, it is possible to obtain the ticket (second acquisition object) associated with the player in advance. Therefore, compared to the case where characters and items are acquired individually by playing one game and another game, it is possible to save playing time and reduce the burden on the user.

<Specific example 5>
FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an operation example (Part 5) of the information processing system 1 in this embodiment. In a fourth specific example, a case will be described in which, among games that are linked to each other, the sale of characters or items in one game affects the other games.

When a user starts playing one of a plurality of games that are linked to each other and specifies a character or item to be sold, the display control unit 103 of the client terminal 10 generates a sale screen 900 and displays the screen. 160 (step S91).

FIG. 23 is an image diagram showing an example of the sale screen 900. This sale screen 900 includes a sale target display area 901 in which the sale character and sale item specified by the user are displayed, and an operation button 902 for selling the sale character and sale item specified by the user.

Next, returning to FIG. 22, when a user who wishes to sell these characters or items selects the operation button 902 on the sale screen 900, the operation reception unit 150 of the client terminal 10 accepts the user's operation input (step S92).

Next, when the operation reception unit 150 receives the user's operation input, the game execution unit 101 of the client terminal 10 accesses the server because the user who played the first game sold the character or item. The unit 102 is requested to execute user information update processing.

When the server access unit 102 of the client terminal 10 is requested to update user information from the game execution unit 101, the server access unit 102 updates the user information based on the sale items (sold characters and items sold) sold by the user in one game. A request regarding the update process is sent to the server device 20 along with the user ID, game ID, character ID, item ID, etc. (step S93).

Next, upon receiving the request from the client terminal 10, the request processing unit 201 of the server device 20 requests the user support unit 202 to execute data update processing.

When the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 is requested to execute data update processing from the request processing unit 201, the user support unit 202 refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 223 and updates the user ID corresponding to the transmitted user ID. The user information of the user is specified, and the play information set in the specified user information is specified (see FIG. 12).

The user support unit 202 of the server device 20 updates the data regarding the specified play information, and matches the transmitted character ID from the possessed character associated with the one game corresponding to the transmitted game ID. At the same time, the sale item corresponding to the transmitted item ID is excluded from the owned items associated with one game (step S94).

Next, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 determines whether or not the sale of characters and items in one game will affect the other games among the games that are linked to each other. Step S95).

Specifically, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 refers to the correspondence information stored in the correspondence information storage unit 222 and selects the linked game that is associated with the one game that corresponds to the transmitted game ID. At the same time, the corresponding content data associated with the identified linked game in advance is also specified (see FIG. 10).

Then, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 223, and selects other games that match the identified linked game from among the games that the user is playing. Extract the game.

Next, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20, based on the specified correspondence content data, allows the user to play the game corresponding to the transmitted game ID with respect to the other extracted games. Determine whether or not the sale of characters and items will have an impact.

For example, if the identified correspondence content data is data in which character information set in the game information stored in the game information storage unit 221 is associated with each other, the influence of the sale of the character can be determined by the extracted It is determined that it is given for the game. However, if the data does not associate character information with each other, it is determined that the data does not affect other extracted games.

For example, if the identified correspondence content data is data in which item information set in the game information stored in the game information storage unit 221 is associated with each other, the influence of the sale of the item is extracted. It is determined that it is given to other games. However, if the item information is not associated with each other, it is determined that it does not affect other extracted games.

Next, when the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 determines that the other extracted games will not be affected (step S95: NO), this process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the extracted other games are affected (step S95: YES), even if the user is not playing any other games at this point, the first game Instead of selling the characters and items, the user is supported by treating the characters and items as if they were acquired in another game (step S96).

Specifically, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 determines whether the specified correspondence content data is, for example, data in which character information set in the game information stored in the game information storage unit 221 is associated with each other. Then, based on the correspondence content data, acquired characters of other games that are previously associated with the sold character corresponding to the transmitted character ID are specified.

In addition, if the specified correspondence content data is, for example, data in which item information set in the game information stored in the game information storage unit 221 is associated with each other, the transmission is performed based on the correspondence content data. Acquired items of other games that are associated in advance with the sold item corresponding to the item ID are identified.

Then, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 updates the play information of the user, associates it with the extracted other game, and updates the acquired characters and acquired items of the identified other game. It is set as a character owned by the user or an item owned by the user (see FIG. 12).

In this way, if a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel plays one game (first game) and sells characters and items (first content), Instead of losing the sold characters and items, it is possible to acquire characters and items (second content) that are associated with them in advance, even if you are not playing another game (second game) at that time. become. Therefore, compared to playing one game and another game and acquiring and selling characters and items individually, it is possible to save playing time and reduce the burden on the user.

===Other embodiments===
The above-described embodiments are provided to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to be interpreted as limiting the present invention. The present invention may be modified and improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and the present invention also includes equivalents thereof. In particular, even the embodiments described below are included in the present invention.

<Correspondence details>
In the embodiments described above, the correspondence between the games that are linked to each other does not necessarily have to be the same.

For example, in the specific example 1 described above, a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel plays "game A" (first game) and plays one "character A" (first content). ), even if you have not played "Game B" (second game) at that time, you can not only obtain one "Character B" (second content) that is associated with it in advance, but also The corresponding content data may be configured so that a plurality of "characters B" (second content) can be acquired.

In addition, when a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel plays "Game A" (first game) and acquires multiple "Character A" (first content). , even if you have not played "Game B" (second game) at that time, you can not only obtain multiple "Character B" (second content) that are associated with each other in advance, but also obtain a smaller number of "Character B" (second content). ” (second content) may be obtained.

For example, in the above-mentioned specific example 2, a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel plays "Game A" (first game) and A" (first content), even if "Game B" (second game) is not played at that time, the "composition source character" of the same "rare 3" that has been associated in advance Not only can you synthesize "B" (second content), but you can also synthesize "composition source character B" (second content) of "Rare 2" and "Rare 4", which are different from that. Correspondence content data may also be configured.

In addition, a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel may play "Game A" (first game) and change "Synthesis source character A" (first content) to "Rare 4". "When you evolve and synthesize the character after evolution, even if you haven't played "Game B" (second game) at that time, you can use the "composition source character B" (second content) that has been associated with it in advance. The correspondence content data may be configured so that not only can evolution be combined with the same "rare 4" evolved character, but also evolution can be combined with a different "rare 3" or "rare 5" evolved character.

For example, in the above-mentioned specific example 3, a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel plays "game A" (first game) and moves up the rank (first parameter) by one level. , even if you have not played "Game B" (second game) at that time, you will not only increase the pre-corresponding rank (second parameter) by one step, but also The correspondence content data may be configured so that the associated rank (second parameter) can be increased by two or more levels.

For example, in the above-mentioned specific example 4, a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel plays "game A" (first game) and buys one ticket (first acquisition item). ), even if you do not play "Game B" (second game) at that time, you can only obtain the same ticket (second acquisition) that is associated with the ticket in advance. Instead, the correspondence content data may be configured so that two or more tickets (second acquisition items) associated with each other in advance can be acquired.

In addition, when a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel plays "Game A" (first game) and obtains two or more tickets (first acquisition). Even if you do not play "Game B" (second game) at that time, you can not only obtain two or more tickets (second acquisition item) that are associated with each other in advance, but also get fewer tickets. The corresponding content data may be configured so that the second acquisition item can be acquired.

For example, in the above-mentioned specific example 5, a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel plays "game A" (first game) and plays one "character A" (first game). Even if you do not play "Game B" (second game) at that time, when you sell a "Character B" (second content), you can not only obtain the same "Character B" (second content) that has been associated with it in advance. , the corresponding content data may be configured so that a plurality of "characters B" (second content) can be acquired.

In addition, when a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel plays "Game A" (first game) and sells multiple "characters A" (first content). , even if you have not played "Game B" (second game) at the time, you can not only obtain multiple "Character B" (second content) that are associated with each other in advance, but also obtain a reduced number of "Character B" (second content). The corresponding content data may be configured so that the content "B" (second content) can be acquired.

<User operation>
In the above embodiment, an example was explained in which the influence of one game is automatically reflected in the other games among games that are linked to each other. You can also do this.

For example, in the specific example 1 described above, a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel plays "game A" (first game) and plays "character A" (first content). When you acquire it, you can not only automatically acquire the pre-associated "Character B" (second content) even if you are not playing "Game B" (second game) at that time, but also When logging in to "Game B" (second game) after finishing "Game A" (first game), the user is notified that it is possible to obtain "Character B" (second content), which has been associated with the user in advance. When the user performs an acquisition operation, the "character B" (second content) may be acquired.

Similarly, in the above specific example 2-5, when logging into "Game B" (second game) after "Game A" (first game) ends, it is possible to synthesize, rank up, obtain, etc. The user may be notified of this, and the user may be able to synthesize, rank up, and obtain the information by performing operations.

<Supported content data>
In the embodiment described above, the correspondence content data may be configured to be customized by the user himself/herself.

For example, in the specific example 1 described above, a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel plays "game A" (first game) and plays "character A" (first content). When acquired, it is also possible to be able to acquire the "Character B" (second content) that has been associated with it in advance, even if you are not playing "Game B" (second game) at that time. It is.

Similarly, in the above-mentioned example 2-5, it is possible to perform compositing using the compositing source characters and compositing material characters that have been associated in advance by oneself, and to acquire objects that have been associated in advance by oneself. It is also possible.

<Friend>
In the embodiment described above, it is also possible to include friend users for each game in the play information set in the user information, and to include data in which friend users are associated with each other in the correspondence information. In this case, if a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel plays one game (the first game) and sets another person as a friend user, he/she will be able to play the other game (the second game). ), the correspondence content data may be configured so that the other person can be set as a friend user in another game (second game) even if the user is not playing the game at that time.

Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, it is also possible to include friend users for each game in the play information set in the user information, and to include data in which the friend users are associated with each other in the correspondence information. In this case, the user support unit 202 of the server device 20 selects "Friend User A" when a user who is playing multiple games that are linked to each other in parallel plays "Game A" (first game). , the user selects "Friend User B" of "Game B" (second game) that has been previously associated with "Friend User A" and plays "Game B" (second game). It may be possible to do so.
Note that this "friend user A" and "friend user B" may or may not be the same person.
