<Character registration (automatic registration)>
FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example related to character registration. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the game screen 50 before character registration. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of the detailed information game screen 60. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the game screen 50 after character registration.
As shown in FIG. 9, first, when the game screen 50 shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the terminal display unit 24, the player terminal 20 selects a registration target from a list of owned characters included in the game screen 50. The player is designated the character to be (step S101). Then, when the player performs a character designation operation by selecting the operation button 51 associated with each character, the player terminal 20 issues a command for requesting transmission of a detailed information game screen related to the designated character ( (Game screen transmission request) is transmitted to the server device 10.

  Next, when the server apparatus 10 receives the game screen transmission request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the screen data (HTML file) for causing the player terminal 20 to display the detailed information game screen 60 (Web page) shown in FIG. ) Is generated by the screen generation processing unit 115 (step S102). Specifically, the screen generation processing unit 115 acquires the player ID and character ID set in the game screen transmission request, and refers to the character information shown in FIG. 3 and the owned character information shown in FIG. Detailed information (for example, parameters such as rarity, level, attack power, etc.) regarding the character designated by the player is extracted. Then, the screen generation processing unit 115 generates the detailed information game screen 60 including the extracted detailed information, the operation button 61 for registering the character, and the operation button 62 for reselecting the character. Then, the server device 10 transmits screen data corresponding to the detailed information game screen 60 generated in this way to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network 2.

  Next, when the player terminal 20 receives the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the detailed information game screen 60 (see FIG. 11) regarding the character designated as the registration target. It is displayed on the display unit 24. Then, when the detailed information game screen 60 is displayed, the player terminal 20 has the operation button 61 (“registration”) among the operation buttons 61 (“registration”) and the operation buttons 62 (“return”). Is determined by the player (step S103). When the operation button 62 (“RETURN”) is selected and operated by the player (step S103: NO), the player terminal 20 returns to step S101 and becomes a new registration target from the owned character list shown in FIG. Let the player reselect the character. On the other hand, when the operation button 61 (“registration”) is selected and operated by the player (step S103: YES), the player terminal 20 issues a command (character registration request) for requesting character registration of the character designated as the registration target. Is transmitted to the server device 10.

  Next, when receiving the character registration request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 determines whether or not the player owns the material character associated with the character designated as the registration target. (Step S104). Specifically, the registration processing unit 114 acquires the character ID set in the character registration request, and is designated as a registration target by referring to the character information shown in FIG. 3 and the composite information shown in FIG. Identify the material character associated with the character. The registration processing unit 114 acquires the player ID set in the character registration request, and refers to the player information shown in FIG. 5 and the owned character information shown in FIG. Judge whether it is included in the possessed character.

  Next, when the determination is affirmed (step S104: YES), the registration processing unit 114 performs protection registration so that the character designated as the registration target does not become a character not owned by the player and is specified. The material character is extracted from the player's owned characters and registered for protection (step S105). At this time, the character itself designated as the registration target by the player is registered as a base character, and the material character extracted from the player's own character is registered as a material character associated with the base character. The player's registered character information (see FIG. 7) is updated.

  On the other hand, if the determination is negative (step S104: NO), the registration processing unit 114 performs protection registration only for the character designated as the registration target (step S106). At this time, the registered character information (see FIG. 7) of the player is updated so that the character itself designated as the registration target is registered as the base character.

  When the character registration is performed in this way, as shown in FIG. 12, in the owned character list included in the game screen 50, a mark M is attached in association with the registered character. By seeing the mark M, the player can grasp that the character is already registered.

  As described above, when the owned character specified by the player is registered as a base character among multiple owned characters, the owned character associated with that base character is also extracted as the material character and automatically protected Will be registered. Thus, the disadvantage to the player can be reduced by selling the material character without noticing that it is associated with the base character.

<Character composition / character registration (individual registration / batch registration)>
FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example related to character composition and character registration. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of the evolution synthesis game screen 70. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of the character registration game screen 80. FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of the detailed information game screen 90.

  As shown in FIG. 13, first, when the game screen 50 shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the terminal display unit 24, the player terminal 20 has a list of owned characters included in the game screen 50. The base character is designated by the player (step S201). When the player performs a base character designation operation by selecting the operation button 51 associated with each character, the player terminal 20 issues a command for requesting transmission of the next game screen (game screen transmission). Request) is transmitted to the server device 10.

  Next, when the server apparatus 10 receives the game screen transmission request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server apparatus 10 specifies a material character associated with the designated base character (step S202). Specifically, the composition processing unit 112 acquires the character ID of the base character set in the game screen transmission request and refers to the character information shown in FIG. 3 and the composition information shown in FIG. Identify the material character associated with the character. Then, the composition processing unit 112 acquires the player ID set in the game screen transmission request, and refers to the player information shown in FIG. 5 and the owned character information shown in FIG. Is included in the player-owned character (step S203).

  Next, when the determination is affirmed (step S203: YES), the composition processing unit 112 causes the screen generation processing unit 115 to generate the evolution composition game screen 70 illustrated in FIG. 14 (step S204). Thereafter, the server device 10 transmits screen data corresponding to the evolution synthesis game screen 70 generated in this way to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network 2.

  Next, when receiving the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the evolution synthesis game screen 70 (see FIG. 14) on the terminal display unit 24. The evolution composition game screen 70 includes a base character display area 71 for displaying a base character, a material character display area 72 for displaying a material character associated with the base character, an operation button 73 for performing character composition, a base. An operation button 74 for reselecting the character is included. In the material character display area 72 in the present embodiment, three material characters are arranged as material characters associated with the base character displayed in the base character display area 71, all of which are owned by the player. . Then, when the evolution synthesis game screen 70 is displayed, the player terminal 20 selects the operation button 73 (“evolution synthesis”) among the operation buttons 73 (“evolution synthesis”) and the operation buttons 74 (“return”). ") Is selected by the player (step S205). When the player selects and operates the operation button 74 ("Return") (Step S205: NO), the player terminal 20 returns to Step S201, and a new base character is selected from the owned character list shown in FIG. To reselect. On the other hand, when the operation button 73 (“evolutionary synthesis”) is selected and operated by the player (step S205: YES), the player terminal 20 issues a command (character synthesis request) that requests character synthesis of the designated base character. Is transmitted to the server device 10.

  Next, when receiving the character composition request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 performs composition processing on the base character designated by the player (step S206). That is, the composition processing unit 112 evolves a new base character based on the character information shown in FIG. 3 by compositing all the material characters associated with the base character to the base character designated by the player. Then, the composition processing unit 112 updates the owned character information shown in FIG. 6 so that the evolved base character becomes a character owned by the player and all the material characters become characters not owned by the player.

  In contrast, when the determination in step S203 described above is denied (step S203: NO), the composition processing unit 112 causes the screen generation processing unit 115 to generate the character registration game screen 80 illustrated in FIG. Step S207). Thereafter, the server device 10 transmits screen data corresponding to the character registration game screen 80 generated in this way to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network 2. When the player terminal 20 receives the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 displays the character registration game screen 80 on the terminal display unit 24 by analyzing the screen data.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the character registration game screen 80, a base character display area 81 for displaying a base character, a material character display area 82 for displaying a material character associated with the base character, and character registration in a lump. Are included, and an operation button 84 for reselecting the base character is included. In the material character display area 82 according to the present embodiment, three material characters 821, 822, and 823 are arranged as material characters associated with the base character displayed in the base character display area 81. The material characters 821 and 822 are characters owned by the player, and the material character 823 is a character not owned by the player. The former and latter character images are displayed in different display modes. Detailed information about the material characters 821 and 822 can be browsed.

  Next, when the character registration game screen 80 is displayed, the player terminal 20 designates one of the two material characters 821 and 822 arranged in the material character display area 82 by the player. It is determined whether or not (step S208). Then, when the player performs a material character designation operation (step S208: YES), the player terminal 20 issues a command (game screen transmission request) for requesting transmission of a detailed information game screen related to the designated material character. It transmits to the server device 10.

  Next, when the server apparatus 10 receives the game screen transmission request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the screen data (HTML file) for causing the player terminal 20 to display the detailed information game screen 90 (Web page) shown in FIG. ) Is generated by the screen generation processing unit 115 (step S209). Specifically, the screen generation processing unit 115 acquires the player ID and character ID set in the game screen transmission request, and refers to the character information shown in FIG. 3 and the owned character information shown in FIG. Detailed information (for example, parameters such as rarity, level, attack power, etc.) regarding the material character specified by the player is extracted. Then, the screen generation processing unit 115 generates the detailed information game screen 90 including the extracted detailed information, the operation button 91 for registering the material character, and the operation button 92 for reselecting the material character. . Then, the server device 10 transmits the screen data corresponding to the detailed information game screen 90 generated in this way to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network 2.

  Next, when the player terminal 20 receives the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the detailed information game screen 90 (see FIG. 16) relating to the character designated as the registration target. It is displayed on the display unit 24. Then, when the detailed information game screen 90 is displayed, the player terminal 20 includes the operation button 91 (“registration”) among the operation buttons 91 (“registration”) and the operation buttons 92 (“return”). Is determined by the player (step S210). When the operation button 92 (“return”) is selected and operated by the player (step S210: NO), the player terminal 20 returns to step S208, and a new material character is selected from the material character display area 82 shown in FIG. To re-select. On the other hand, when the operation button 91 (“registration”) is selected and operated by the player (step S210: YES), the player terminal 20 issues a command (character registration request) for requesting character registration of the designated material character. To the server device 10.

  Next, when the server device 10 receives the character registration request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 performs a registration process for the material character designated by the player (step S211). In other words, the registration processing unit 114 performs protection registration so that the material character designated by the player does not become a character that the player does not own. At this time, the registered character information of the player is assumed that the material character designated by the player is a material character associated with the base character designated by the player (that is, the base character displayed in the base character display area 81). (See FIG. 7) is updated.

  On the other hand, when the determination in step S208 described above is denied (step S208: NO), the player terminal 20 collects characters when the character registration game screen 80 shown in FIG. 15 is displayed. It is determined whether or not the operation button 83 for performing registration is designated by the player (step S212). When the operation button 84 (“RETURN”) is selected and operated by the player (step S212: NO), the player terminal 20 returns to step S201 and newly selects a base character from the owned character list shown in FIG. To reselect. On the other hand, in the player terminal 20, when the operation button 83 (“collective registration”) is selected and operated by the player (step S212: YES), among the material characters displayed in the material character display area 82 shown in FIG. Then, registration processing is performed for the two material characters 821 and 822 which are the characters owned by the player (step S213). That is, the registration processing unit 114 performs protection registration so that the two material characters 821 and 822 do not become characters not owned by the player. At this time, it is assumed that the two material characters 821 and 822 are the material characters associated with the base character designated by the player (that is, the base character displayed in the base character display area 81), and are registered characters of the player. Information (see FIG. 7) is updated.

  As described above, when a base character is designated from among a plurality of owned characters, a plurality of material characters associated with the base character are displayed on the game screen. The “material characters” owned by the player can be individually registered for protection or collectively registered for protection. Thus, the disadvantage to the player can be reduced by selling the material character without noticing that it is associated with the base character.

<Character sale>
FIG. 17 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example related to character sale. FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen for sale 100. FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of the confirmation game screen 105.

  As shown in FIG. 17, first, the player terminal 20 determines that the player terminal 20 has an owned character included in the game screen 50 when the game screen 50 shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the terminal display unit 24. The player is made to designate a character to be sold from the list (step S301). Then, when the player performs an operation of designating a character to be sold by selecting the operation button 51 associated with each character, the player terminal 20 issues a command (game screen) that requests transmission of the game screen for sale. (Transmission request) is transmitted to the server apparatus 10.

  Next, when the server apparatus 10 receives the game screen transmission request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the screen data (HTML file) for causing the player terminal 20 to display the sale game screen 100 (Web page) shown in FIG. Is generated by the screen generation processing unit 115 (step S302). Specifically, the screen generation processing unit 115 acquires the player ID and character ID set in the game screen transmission request, and refers to the character information shown in FIG. 3 and the owned character information shown in FIG. Detailed information (for example, parameters such as sale price, rarity, level, attack power, etc.) regarding the character to be sold designated by the player is extracted. Then, the screen generation processing unit 115 generates the sale game screen 100 including the extracted detailed information, the operation button 101 for selling the character, and the operation button 102 for reselecting the character. Then, the server device 10 transmits screen data corresponding to the game screen for sale 100 generated in this way to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network 2.

  Next, when the player terminal 20 receives the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the game screen 100 for sale (see FIG. 18) related to the character designated as the sale target. This is displayed on the unit 24. When the game screen for sale 100 is displayed, the player terminal 20 has the operation button 101 (“sale”) among the operation buttons 101 (“sale”) and the operation buttons 102 (“return”). It is determined whether or not the player has selected (step S303). When the player selects and operates the operation button 102 (“return”) (step S303: NO), the player terminal 20 returns to step S301 and becomes a new sale target from the owned character list shown in FIG. Let the player reselect the character. On the other hand, when the operation button 101 (“sale”) is selected and operated by the player (step S303: YES), the player terminal 20 issues a command for requesting the sale of the character designated as the sale target (character sale request). Is transmitted to the server device 10.

  Next, when receiving the character sale request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 determines whether or not the character designated as the sale target is a protected and registered character (step S304). Specifically, the sale processing unit 113 acquires the player ID and character ID set in the character sale request, and refers to the player information shown in FIG. 5 and the registered character information shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the character designated as is included in the protected and registered characters.

  Next, when the determination is negative (step S304: NO), the sale processing unit 113 performs sale processing for the character designated as the sale target (step S307). This sale process will be described in detail later.

  On the other hand, when the determination is affirmed (step S304: YES), the sale processing unit 113 causes the screen generation processing unit 115 to generate the confirmation game screen 105 shown in FIG. 19 (step S305). Thereafter, the server device 10 transmits screen data corresponding to the confirmation game screen 105 generated in this way to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network 2.

  Next, when receiving the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the confirmation game screen 105 (see FIG. 19) on the terminal display unit 24. The confirmation game screen 105 includes a confirmation message display area 106, an operation button 107 for permitting the sale of the character, and an operation button 108 for not permitting the sale of the character. In the confirmation message display area 106 in this embodiment, when the character to be sold is a material character, it is displayed that the character is associated with the base character. When the confirmation game screen 105 is displayed, the player terminal 20 has the operation button 107 (“Yes”) among the operation buttons 107 (“Yes”) and the operation buttons 108 (“No”). It is determined whether or not the player has selected (step S306). When the player selects and operates the operation button 108 (“No”) (step S306: NO), the player terminal 20 returns to step S301 without performing the sale processing of the character designated as the sale target. From the owned character list shown in FIG. 10, the player is made to re-select a character to be sold. On the other hand, when the operation button 107 (“Yes”) is selected and operated by the player (step S306: YES), the player terminal 20 issues a command (character sale confirmation) for requesting the sale confirmation of the character designated as the sale target. Request) is transmitted to the server device 10.

  Next, when receiving the character sale confirmation request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 performs a sale process on the character designated as the sale target (step S307). That is, the sale processing unit 113 converts the character designated as the sale target into a coin (virtual currency) corresponding to the value of the character and gives it to the player. Then, the sale processing unit 113 updates the owned character information shown in FIG. 6 so that the player does not own the character designated as the sale target, and also increases the number of coins acquired by the player in FIG. Show player information.

  As described above, when the character designated as the sale target is a character registered for protection, confirmation is made regarding the sale of the character. Accordingly, the disadvantage that the player suffers can be reduced by being sold without realizing that the character designated as the sale target is a material character associated with the base character.

<Character grant / Character registration (automatic registration)>
FIG. 20 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example related to character assignment and character registration.

  First, when an operation for starting a lottery game as an example of character grant is performed by the player, the player terminal 20 transmits a command (lottery game start request) requesting the start of the lottery game to the server device 10. And the server apparatus 10 will perform the character provision process by a lottery game, if the lottery game start request | requirement transmitted from the player terminal 20 is received (step S401). Specifically, the grant processing unit 111 randomly selects a character to be acquired by the player from a plurality of characters by referring to the character information shown in FIG.

  Next, the grant processing unit 111 refers to the combination information shown in FIG. 4 and the registered character information shown in FIG. 7, so that the lottery character is a material character associated with the protected and registered base character. Whether or not (step S402).

  When the determination is denied (step S402: NO), the grant processing unit 111 updates the owned character information illustrated in FIG. 6 so that the lottery character becomes a character owned by the player (step S402). S405).

  On the other hand, when the determination is affirmed (step S402: YES), the grant processing unit 111 refers to the registered character information shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the character is a character (step S403).

  Next, when the determination is affirmed (step S403: YES), the grant processing unit 111 updates the owned character information illustrated in FIG. 6 so that the lottery character becomes a character owned by the player ( Step S405).

  On the other hand, if the determination is negative (step S403: NO), registration processing is performed for the lottery character (step S404). In other words, the registration processing unit 114 performs protection registration for a character that has been selected as being a material character associated with a base character that has been registered for protection.

  Thereafter, the grant processing unit 111 updates the owned character information shown in FIG. 6 so that the lottery character becomes a character owned by the player (step S405).

  As described above, if a character assigned to a player is a non-protected material character among a plurality of material characters associated with a protected base character, the character is automatically registered for protection. It will be. Thereby, the disadvantage suffered by the player can be reduced by being sold without realizing that the assigned character is a material character associated with the base character.
