As shown in FIG. 1, the video game control system 100 includes a video game control server 10 and a plurality of user terminals 21 to 2N (N is an arbitrary integer). The configuration of the video game control system 100 is not limited to this, and a plurality of servers may be provided.

  The video game control server 10 and the plurality of user terminals 21 to 2N are each connected to a communication network 30 such as the Internet. Although not shown, the plurality of user terminals 21 to 2N are connected to the communication network 30 by performing data communication with a base station managed by a communication provider through a wireless communication line.

  The video game control system 100 has various functions for controlling a video game that proceeds in response to an operation of a user who operates the plurality of user terminals 21 to 2N.

  The video game control server 10 is managed by a system administrator of the video game control system 100, and has various functions for providing information relating to the video game to the user terminals 21 to 2N. In this example, the video game control server 10 can give an issue to the user when the issue is given to the user in the video game, an issue clearing condition, at least one item, and the user clears the issue. A quest that stores quest information that is information indicating an item drop rate indicating the probability of being a drop item that is an item, and an item granting condition that is a condition that grants a drop item to a user and is related to status information Based on the clear condition indicated by the quest information stored in the information storage unit 16c, it is determined that the user has cleared the task in the clear determination processing that determines whether or not the user has cleared the task, and the clear determination processing. Depending on the item drop rate based on the item drop rate corresponding to the issue. A status indicating the status of the user in the video game in response to determining that the item is a drop item in the drop item determination processing. Whether the status information indicated by the user information stored in the user information storage unit 16a that stores the user information including the information and the owned item information indicating the item owned by the user satisfies the item granting condition of the drop item In accordance with the condition satisfaction determination process for determining whether the status information satisfies the item granting condition in the condition satisfaction determination process, the user is given an item corresponding to the item granting condition. A function to execute user information update processing to update information To.

  The video game control server 10 includes an information processing apparatus such as a WWW server, and includes a storage medium that stores various types of information. In the video game control system 100, it is preferable to manage the video game information on the video game control server 10 side from the viewpoint of reducing the processing load on the user terminal. It is good also as a structure managed only by a terminal.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the video game control server 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the video game control server 10 includes a control unit 11, a communication unit 12, a search unit 13, a determination unit 14, an update unit 15, and a video game information storage unit 16.

  The control unit 11 includes a CPU, a ROM, and the like, and has a function for controlling the entire video game control server 10 in accordance with a control program stored in the video game information storage unit 16.

  The communication unit 12 has a function for performing communication with a plurality of user terminals 21 to 2N via a communication network 30 such as the Internet.

  The search unit 13 has a function for searching information (for example, information including an input search character string) according to a search condition from various information stored in the video game information storage unit 16.

  The determination unit 14 has a function for making various determinations according to the progress of the video game. In this example, the determination unit 14 determines based on various determination conditions stored in the video game information storage unit 16 (for example, “quest clear conditions” and “item grant conditions” included in quest information described later). It has a function of making a determination on an object (for example, user information).

  The update unit 15 has a function for updating various information stored in the video game information storage unit 16 in accordance with the progress of the video game. The information used for the update process may be obtained from a plurality of user terminals 21 to 2N, or may be prepared in advance in the video game information storage unit 16.

  The video game information storage unit 16 is configured by, for example, a database device, and is a storage medium that stores various types of information such as various types of information regarding video games realized by the video game control system 100 and video game control programs. is there.

  Here, an outline of a video game realized by the video game control system 100 will be described. In this example, the video game control system 100 includes “subjugation” played at each of the plurality of user terminals 21 to 2N, and “battle” and “large hall” played between the plurality of user terminals 21 to 2N. Controls the progress of the video game with three game systems, “Battle”.

  “Subjugation” is a game system that controls the progress of a quest by consuming a user's physical strength value. In “subjugation”, for example, when a user clears a quest, a virtual card used in a video game (for example, a military commander card associated with image information of a military commander) or a treasure chest used in a “battle” A process of giving an in-game item (as appropriate, simply referred to as “item”) to the user with a predetermined probability is performed. In this example, the quest is provided with an “achievement rate” that is calculated according to the user's experience level and physical strength, the type of warrior card possessed, and the “achievement rate” has reached a predetermined percentage. In response to this, “quest clear” is performed, and an experience value is given to the user (or, for example, to a virtual card used by the user), or an item is provided to the user.

  In this example, the video game control system 100 executes a “quest clear process” when providing an item to a user who performs “defeat”. The quest clear process will be described in detail later (see FIGS. 6 and 9).

  “Battle” is a game system for controlling a battle using a virtual card. In the “battle”, for example, two users (or a user and a computer) play a battle using virtual cards set with various values used for battle, such as attack power and defense power, and others depending on the battle results. A process is performed in which a treasure is taken from the other user or a treasure is taken away by another user. In addition, since a well-known technique is used about the battle | competition using a virtual card, detailed description here is abbreviate | omitted.

  In the “Great Hall Battle”, a non-player character in which a plurality of users form a group (hereinafter referred to as an “alliance”) and various values (for example, a physical strength value and an attack power value) are set to such an extent that they cannot be defeated by one person. It is a game system that controls battles that challenge (hereinafter referred to as “the Great Hall”). In the “Daido Battle”, for example, when all of the allies have cut down the Duke ’s stamina, a process is performed in which the user is provided with items that are rarer than the item obtained by “Defeat”.

  The configuration of the video game realized by the video game control system 100 is not limited to this. For example, a predetermined point obtained by the user in the video game (for example, a point obtained for free or a point obtained for a fee) A game system (so-called “gacha”) in which a virtual card is given by consuming the game, a game system in which a new virtual card can be acquired by paying a predetermined point and combining a plurality of virtual cards, Various game systems can be employed.

  The video game information storage unit 16 includes a user information storage unit 16a, an alliance information (or group information) storage unit 16b, a quest information storage unit 16c, and an item information storage unit 16d.

  The user information storage unit 16a is a storage medium that stores user information that is information about a user who plays a video game.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a storage state of user information in the user information storage unit 16a. As shown in FIG. 3, the user information includes a user ID for uniquely identifying a user who is a participant in a video game controlled by the video game control system 100, status information indicating the user status, And owned item information indicating items to be owned (including virtual cards).

  Here, the “owned item information” includes virtual card information related to a virtual card in which at least one of attack power and defense power is set. And the video game control server 10 determines a user's status based on the attack power and defense power set to the virtual card selected by the user, and registers as a user status. In this example, the item includes an item that can be used in the quest (for example, “recovery medicine” that restores the user's physical strength), and the user can clear the quest or in the video game. You can purchase various items by purchasing at other shops or exchanging with other users.

  The alliance information storage unit 16b is a storage medium that stores alliance information that is information related to an alliance formed by a plurality of users. In the video game in this example, a plurality of users are grouped together to achieve a common goal of winning the Grand Palace game, so such a group is called an “alliance”. In this example, it is also possible to create a group (an alliance) in order to achieve a common purpose that a plurality of users clear a quest. Note that, for example, a configuration in which the user must always perform the quest may be configured to emphasize the characteristics of the “Great Hall Battle”.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the storage state of alliance information in the alliance information storage unit 16b. As shown in FIG. 4, the alliance information includes an alliance name for uniquely identifying the alliance, a user ID of a user belonging to the alliance, and an alliance status.

  Here, the “alliance status” is the status of the alliance, and in this example includes the attack power and defense power of the alliance. In this example, the alliance status is calculated (set) based on status information associated with the user ID included in the alliance information (that is, user status, see FIG. 3). In this example, the case where the sum of the user statuses of the users belonging to the alliance is used as the alliance status will be described as an example. However, for example, the alliance status is calculated using another calculation formula that reflects the items owned by the users belonging to the alliance. It may be configured to create.

  The quest information storage unit 16c is a storage medium that stores quest information that is information used to execute a task (quest) given to the user in a video game controlled by the video game control system 100.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a storage state of quest information in the quest information storage unit 16c. As shown in FIG. 5, the quest information includes a quest ID that can uniquely identify a quest, a quest name, a quest clear condition, one or a plurality of item IDs, an item drop rate, and an item indicated by the item ID. And the rank corresponding to.

  Here, the “clear condition” is a condition for determining that the user has cleared the quest (ie, solved the problem). The clear condition is defined by, for example, a quest achievement rate.

  The “item drop rate” means a probability that when the user clears the quest, the item indicated by the item ID is a drop item that can be given to the user as a reward for clearing the quest, for example. It should be noted that the method for determining whether or not an item corresponding to a quest is a drop item may be a configuration that allows the user to recognize that “sometimes an item is obtained once the quest is cleared”. For example, define a probability. The item corresponding to the quest may be a drop item almost randomly, and it is recorded whether or not the item is a drop item every time the quest is cleared. Various configurations are possible, such as a configuration in which the item is a drop item.

  “Rank” indicates a condition for giving a drop item to a user. In this example, it is assumed that a condition related to the user status is set for “rank”. For example, an item of rank “A” is “attack power 50000 or more”, and an item of rank “B” is “attack power” Items of 48000 or higher, defense power of 50000 or higher, and rank “C” are given to users of “attack power of 30000 or lower”. Note that the content of “rank” as the item granting condition is not limited to this, and any configuration relating to the user status may be used. By defining the item granting condition in association with the user status, the user can be motivated to advance the video game in order to improve the user status.

  That is, in the video game in this example, when the user clears the quest, the item is provided using the item drop rate and the item granting condition, so that it is easy to increase the variation of the item providing method. Become.

  The item information storage unit 16d is a storage medium that stores item information that is information related to various items including a virtual card. In this example, the item information includes an item ID for uniquely identifying the item, image information, item performance (for example, in the case of a virtual card, attack power, defense power, etc.).

  Each of the plurality of user terminals 21 to 2N is managed by a user (player) who plays a video game. For example, a network distribution type game such as a mobile phone terminal, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), or a portable game device can be played. It is composed of possible mobile communication terminals. Each of the plurality of user terminals 21 to 2N is connected to the communication network 30 and communicates with the video game control server 10N to execute hardware (for example, a display device or a display device that displays a game screen). Audio output device etc.) and software. The plurality of user terminals 21 to 2N may each be configured to have a function of playing a video game in the same virtual space via the video game control server 10.

  Next, the operation of the video game control system 100 of this example will be described. Hereinafter, the case where the user terminal 21 operated by the user X among the plurality of user terminals 21 to 2N communicates with the video game control server 10 and executes various processes will be described as an example. The contents of operations and processes not related to the present invention may be omitted.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a quest process in the video game control system 100. In the quest process, a process for the user X to perform a quest (that is, a process for receiving selection of a quest by the user X and outputting the result of the quest according to the user status) is executed.

  The quest process is started, for example, in response to the user terminal 21 receiving a video game start operation.

  In the quest process, the user terminal 21 (or an information processing unit included in the user terminal 21 or the like; the same applies hereinafter) displays a predetermined top screen (or game start screen) on the display screen of the display device included in the user terminal 21. (Step S101). It should be noted that information regarding the screen and images displayed on the display screen of the display device of the user terminal 21 may be stored in a storage medium provided in the user terminal 21 or an external storage medium such as the video game control server 10 as appropriate. It is good also as a structure received from.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of the top screen. As shown in FIG. 7, the top screen includes a button display area 101 on which various operation buttons B1 to B5 are displayed, a battle status display area 102 for displaying a status related to a battle among user statuses, and a user status. Among them, the possessed item status display area 103 for displaying the status related to the alliance and the possessed item, the virtual card display area 104 for displaying the image of the virtual card set as the virtual card used by the user for the battle, and various events (for example, the user Event information display area 105 for displaying information related to events that occur when the event satisfies a predetermined condition, events provided by the administrator, etc., and various games (in this example, the three game systems described above) “Defeat,” “Battle,” “Odon Battle”.) It comprises a chromatography arm start button display area 106, and a contact overview display region 107 for displaying a summary of various contact information such as information about other user terminals. The user terminal does not necessarily have a touch panel, and various game screens may be configured to be operable with mechanical buttons.

  When the top screen is displayed, the user terminal 21 determines whether or not a quest selection operation has been accepted (step S102). In this example, when the user terminal 21 receives selection of the subjugation button 106a on the top screen, the user terminal 21 displays a quest selection screen (not shown), and receives a selection operation for the quest displayed on the quest selection screen. In this case, the quest detail display screen is displayed.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a quest detail display screen. As shown in FIG. 8, the quest detail display screen includes a user status display area 201 for displaying a part of the user status such as the user's experience value and physical strength, a quest start button 202, the current achievement rate of the quest, A first clear reward display area 203 for displaying contents such as a user status that changes by performing the above, and a second clear reward display area 204 for displaying an image of an item associated with the quest.

  When the user terminal 21 receives that the display position of the quest start button 202 is pressed on the displayed quest detail display screen, the user terminal 21 determines that the quest start operation has been received.

  If it is determined that a quest start operation has been received (Y in step S102), the user terminal 21 sends a quest start request that presents the quest ID of the quest displayed on the quest detail screen and the user ID of the user X to the video. It transmits to the game control server 10 (step S103).

  When the video game control server 10 (or the control unit 11 included in the video game control server 10 or the like, hereinafter referred to as “server 10” as appropriate) receives the quest start request, the quest information stored in the quest information storage unit 16c. Quest information including the quest ID indicated by the received quest start request is searched (step S104).

  When searching for the quest information, the server 10 determines whether to create an alliance including the user X (step S105). In this example, based on the searched quest information, the server 10 determines that the alliance is to be created when the quest allows the creation of the alliance. If it is determined that an alliance is not to be created (that is, if it is determined that the quest is a quest for one person) (N in step S105), the server 10 proceeds to a process in step S108 described later.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that an alliance is to be created (Y in step S105), the server 10 searches the user information stored in the user information storage unit 16a for user information indicating other users constituting the alliance (step S105). S106). In this example, the server 10 searches for user information indicating a user (friend) registered in advance as a user who is allowed to form an alliance with the user X.

  When the user information is searched, the server 10 creates alliance information using the user information of the user X and the searched user information (step S107). In this example, the server 10 transmits the searched user information to the user terminal 21. Then, the user terminal 21 that has received the user information receives a selection of a user to be included in the alliance by the user X, and transmits selection information indicating the selected user to the server 10. Then, the server 10 that has received the selection information associates the user IDs of the selected user and the user X with each other and registers them in the alliance information storage unit 16b, and displays the user status (see FIG. 3) indicated by the user information of each user. Set alliance status based on. The alliance name may be configured to accept input by the user X at the user terminal 21, or the server 10 may be configured to set a predetermined name (for example, a name preset by the user X). In addition, the creation method of alliance information is not specifically limited, What is necessary is just to be created based on the user information of each user who comprises an alliance.

  Next, the server 10 creates quest progress information indicating the progress content (progress status) of the quest based on the quest information (step S108). In this example, the server 10 uses various information indicated by the quest information (information indicating various statuses of enemy characters appearing in the quest, time required for clearing the quest calculated based on the status of the user or the alliance, etc.). Based on this, the quest progress information indicating the information to be provided to the user X (for example, the achievement rate of the quest, the remaining time until clearing, etc.) is created. In addition, regarding the progress of a quest, it may be configured to request an operation input by the user X or may not be requested.

  When the quest progress information is created, the server 10 transmits the created quest progress information to the user terminal 21 (step S109).

  When the user terminal 21 receives the quest progress information, the user terminal 21 displays a quest progress screen that displays the content indicated by the received quest progress information on the display screen of the display device provided in the user terminal 21 (step S110).

  When transmitting the quest progress information, the server 10 determines whether or not to end the quest (step S111). In this example, the server 10 sets a predetermined quest end condition (for example, “physical strength” set by the user according to the progress of the quest to “0” based on the quest information, the user information, and the alliance information. Or that a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the quest, etc.), it is determined that the quest is to be terminated. If it is determined that the quest is not terminated (N in step S111), the server 10 proceeds to the process in step S108.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the quest is to be ended when the predetermined quest end condition is satisfied (Y in step S111), the server 10 ends the quest (that is, ends the progress of the quest based on the quest information). The user X determines whether or not the quest has been cleared (step S112). In this example, the server 10 determines that the quest has been cleared when the achievement rate of the quest at the end of the quest satisfies the quest clear condition. If an alliance has been created in the process of step S1107, the server 10 calculates an achievement rate based on the created alliance information and quest information, and whether or not the calculated achievement rate satisfies the quest clear condition. Determine whether. Here, if it is determined that the user X (or an alliance including the user X) has not cleared the quest (N in step S112), the server 10 proceeds to a process in step S113 described later.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the user X (or the alliance including the user X) has cleared the quest (Y in step S112), the server 10 performs a quest clear process that is a process for giving an item corresponding to the quest to the user. Is executed (step S200). The quest clear process will be described in detail later (see FIG. 9).

  When the quest clear process is executed, the server 10 creates and creates quest result information indicating the result of the quest (for example, information indicating whether or not the quest has been cleared and an item given to the user X). The quest result information is transmitted to the user terminal 21 (step S113), and the process here is terminated.

  When the user terminal 21 receives the quest result information, the user terminal 21 displays a quest result screen for displaying the content indicated by the received quest result information on the display screen of the display device included in the user terminal 21 (step S114).

  When the quest result screen is displayed, the user terminal 21 determines whether or not to end the game (step S115). Here, for example, when it is determined that the game is not to be ended by accepting a predetermined top screen display operation (N in step S115), the user terminal 21 ends the display of the quest result screen and proceeds to the process of step S101. To do.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the game is to be ended by accepting a predetermined game end operation (Y in step S115), the user terminal 21 ends the game and ends the processing here.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a quest clear process executed by the video game control server 10. In the quest clear process, a process for giving an item corresponding to the quest to the user is executed.

  In the quest process (see FIG. 6), when the quest clear process is started (step S200), the server 10 determines whether there is a drop item (that is, an item that can be provided to the user X by clearing the quest). Determination is made (step S201). In this example, the server 10 determines whether there is a drop item based on the item ID and the item drop rate in the quest information (see FIG. 5). That is, the server 10 determines whether or not the item indicated by the item ID is a drop item based on the item drop rate. If it is determined that there is no drop item (N in step S201), the server 10 proceeds to the process of step S113 in the quest process (see FIG. 6).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a drop item (Y in step S201), the server 10 specifies an item provision condition corresponding to the rank of the drop item (step S202). For example, in the quest clear process executed when the user X clears the quest ID “Q0002” (see FIG. 5), when the corresponding item ID “I00003” is a drop item with a probability of “40%” The server 10 specifies “attack power 50000 or more” associated in advance with the rank “A” corresponding to the item ID as the item granting condition.

  When the item granting conditions are specified, the server 10 refers to the user information of the user X (or user information including the user ID indicated by the created alliance information) and whether there is user information satisfying the specified item granting conditions. (Step S203). If it is determined that there is no user information that satisfies the specified item granting condition (N in step S203), the server 10 proceeds to the process of step S113 in the quest process (see FIG. 6). In this case, the server 10 may be configured to transmit to the user terminal 21 information indicating only that the item has not been assigned as the quest result information. In order to prompt the user X to challenge the quest again, For example, it is good also as a structure which transmits the information regarding item provision conditions to the user terminal 21. FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is user information that satisfies the specified item granting condition (Y in step S203), the server 10 adds item information indicating an item that has been identified as a drop item to the user information that satisfies the item granting condition. Thus, the user information is updated (step S204). That is, the server 10 is a user who has cleared a quest and is a process for giving an item that is a drop item to a user who satisfies the item grant condition corresponding to the item that is a drop item according to the item drop rate I do.

  When the user information is updated, the server 10 proceeds to the process of step S113 in the quest process (see FIG. 6).

  In this example, when the alliance information has been created in step S107 in the quest process (see FIG. 6), the server 10 drops only the users who satisfy the item granting condition among the users constituting the alliance. Items will be granted. However, the server 10 may have an alliance status for determining whether or not the item granting condition is satisfied. That is, when the alliance status satisfies the item granting condition, the drop item may be given to all the users constituting the alliance.

  As described above, in the embodiment described above, the video game control for controlling the user terminal 21 operated by the user X and at least a part of the video game played on the user terminal 21 via the communication network 30. In the video game control system 100 including the server 10, the video game control server 10 includes status information indicating the status (for example, attack power and defense power) of the user X in the video game, and items owned by the user X A user information storage unit 16a that stores user information including owned item information indicating (for example, a virtual card in which an attack power, a defense power, etc. are set), and a task (for example, a quest) given to the user X in a video game ), Task clearing conditions (for example, quest clearing conditions), and at least 1 Item drop rate indicating the probability that the item is a drop item that can be given to the user X when the user X clears the task, and the drop item to the user X A quest information storage unit 16c for storing quest information, which is information indicating an item granting condition (for example, an attack power of 50000 or more) that is a condition to be given and is a condition related to status information, and is based on a clear condition Then, it is determined whether or not the user X has cleared the task (step S112), and in response to determining that the user X has cleared the task, the item is dropped based on the item drop rate corresponding to the task. (Step S201), it is determined that the item is a drop item. Accordingly, it is determined whether or not the status information (for example, attack power and defense power) of the user X satisfies the item grant condition of the drop item (step S203), and the status information satisfies the item grant condition. Since the user information is updated so that the item corresponding to the item granting condition is given to the user according to the determination (step S204), the variation in the method of providing the item to the user is increased. , You will be able to improve the fun of playing.

  Moreover, it becomes possible to achieve close-up of user motivation, and indirectly suggest the user to strengthen the status of each user. Then, by associating the system for enhancing the user status with the in-game billing system, the user can be effectively charged. In addition, even in the same quest, the items that can be acquired change according to the user status, so that the interest of each quest can be improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, the user information includes user identification information (for example, user ID) that can uniquely identify a plurality of users playing a video game, and the video game control server 10 has a predetermined information. Corresponding user identification information (for example, user IDs) indicating a plurality of users that satisfy a grouping condition (for example, a user registered in advance as a user who is allowed to form an alliance with user X). In addition, based on the status information associated with each user identification information, group information indicating a status (for example, alliance status) as a group composed of the plurality of users is created (step S107), and the group information Based on (for example, alliance information), groups composed of multiple users are assigned issues (for example, Since strike.) Determines whether cleared (step S112) is configured to the user, it becomes possible to motivate constituting the other users and groups. Also, even if you clear a quest belonging to a strong group, if you do not meet the item granting conditions, you cannot get a drop item, so users who do not intend to contribute to the group contribute to the group. It becomes possible to avoid receiving the same treatment as the user who is, and to prevent the motivation of the user who contributes to the group from decreasing.

  In the above-described embodiment, the possessed item information includes virtual card information related to a virtual card in which at least one of attack power and defense power is set, and the video game control server allows the user X to select a virtual card. Since it is configured to determine the status of the user X based on at least one of the attack power and defense power set for the virtual card that has received and selected, the motivation for collecting higher performance virtual cards for the user Will be able to give.

  In the above-described embodiment, the item granting condition includes that the status information of the user indicates a predetermined attack power or defense power (for example, the attack power is 50000 or more). As a result, it is possible to prompt the user to own a plurality of items and adjust their own status. Thereby, since it becomes possible to change the acquisition difficulty of different items in the same quest, the video game interest can be improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, the item granting condition indicates that the user status information indicates a predetermined attack power (for example, the attack power is 48000 or more), and the status information indicates a predetermined defense power (for example, defense). Since it is possible to give variations due to difficulty in acquiring items, the interest of the video game can be improved.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the plurality of user terminals 21 to 2N and the video game control server 10 are configured according to various control programs (for example, video game processing programs) described above according to various control programs (for example, video game processing programs) stored in the storage device provided therein. Execute the process.

  Moreover, you may be set as the structure with which one side is provided with a part or all of the function with which either one of the user terminal 21 in the video game control system or the video game control server 10 is provided.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, it is useful to provide a video game that can increase the variation of the method of providing items to the user and improve the fun of the game.
