The display unit 22 may be used by being connected from the outside of the server device 1.

  The communication unit 23 transmits and receives information to and from the server device 1. The communication unit 23 performs communication by at least one of wired or wireless.

[System Overview]
An outline of the game system according to the present embodiment will be described. In the game system according to the present embodiment, the user of the terminal device 2 logs in to the game system and participates in a game or an event in the game using a game medium.

  A game refers to a battle, quest, mission, or the like provided by the game system. Participation in a game means, for example, performing a battle, a quest, a mission, or the like, or logging into a game system to perform them.

  The in-game event may be any event that is performed by the game system for a predetermined period of time. For example, user activities such as voting, ranking prediction, ranking battle, and / or battle are performed. Event. Participation in an event means, for example, performing an activity such as voting, ranking prediction, ranking fighting, and / or battle, or logging in to the game system to perform them.

  A game medium is electronic data used for a game, and includes, for example, a card, an item, a character, an avatar, an in-game virtual currency, and the like. The game medium is electronic data that can be acquired, held, used, managed, exchanged, combined, strengthened, sold, discarded, and / or gifted, etc. by the user as the game progresses. The usage mode of the game media is not limited to those specified in this specification. The status information inherently possessed by the game media includes battle power such as attack power and defense power of the game media, battle media such as game media attack and defense skills, cost of the game media, game media skill information to be described later, game Information relating to the avatar of the medium, attributes to be described later of the game medium, indices indicating the rarity of the game medium, and the like. The index indicating the rarity level of the game medium is represented by, for example, a hierarchy such as normal, rare, super rare, and ultra rare, and the rarity increases in this order.

  In the present embodiment, the game system performs a lottery when the user logs in, for example. In the lottery, the display unit 22 of the terminal device 2 displays the lottery target so that it can be selected. The lottery object is, for example, the box shown in FIG. 2 which is an example of the screen displayed by the display unit 22, but the format is not limited as long as the format can be selected by the user. In FIG. 2, nine lottery objects are displayed at a time, but the number is not limited and may be one or more. The user selects a lottery object and acquires a game medium as a reward in accordance with the selection.

  The lottery target setting unit 13 may set the lottery target so that the lottery target can be divided into a plurality of groups according to the characteristics of the lottery target. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the display unit 22 may display a plurality of lottery target groups (one lottery target group includes nine boxes) for each attribute so that the user can select. Specifically, the display unit 22 may display two lottery target groups, a group including an attack type game medium and a group including a defense type game medium, or a game medium with a high degree of rarity. Can be earned, but there are two groups: a high-risk / high-return group that contains a lot of game media with low rarity and a low-risk / low-return group that contains only game media with an average rarity It may be displayed.

  The user can change the status information of the game medium through a battle (a battle with another user or a battle with a character operated by the game system) or a quest. For example, the user can reinforce parameters such as attack power, defense power, and skill of the game medium by synthesizing the game medium acquired in a predetermined battle or quest with the game medium already possessed. In addition, the user can reinforce parameters such as attack power, defense power, skill, and the like possessed by the game medium by rewards (for example, experience values) that can be acquired in a predetermined battle or quest.

  In addition, the user acquires items as electronic data of tools used in the game. The user may change the status information of the game medium using the item. For example, the user uses the item to strengthen parameters such as attack power, defense power, and skill of the game medium.

  For example, the game system performs a voting event at a predetermined time every day. In the voting event, the user votes for a card that is a game medium, a character drawn on the card, or the like.

  In addition, the game system performs a ranking prediction event in accordance with an event taking place in the real world. For example, characters drawn on a card that is a game medium are actually existing persons, and those persons are given ranks by actual elections. The user predicts the order in the event determined by the actual election.

  In addition, for example, at a predetermined time every day, the game system performs a battle event with a predetermined enemy character, another user, and / or a group of other users. For example, a plurality of users belong to a group determined by a user selection or a game system selection and participate in a battle for the purpose of defeating a raid boss. Moreover, a some user may belong to the group determined by selection of a user or selection of a game system, and may mutually fight between groups.

  Hereinafter, the determination process, the lottery target setting process, and the reward granting process performed by the game system of the present invention will be specifically described in a plurality of embodiments.

[Embodiment 1]
(Determination process)
The determination unit 12 determines a user's activity status in a game or an event in the game. Specifically, when the user logs in, the determination unit 12 determines whether the user's participation status in the game or the event in the game satisfies the first predetermined condition.

  “The participation status satisfies the first predetermined condition” means, for example, that the number of consecutive days of login becomes a predetermined number of times or more. In order to determine whether or not the number of consecutive login days is greater than or equal to a predetermined number of times, when the determination unit 12 detects that a certain user has logged in, the determination unit 12 refers to the login DB 17a for how many days the login by the user has been performed. Judgment. The login DB 17a stores a user ID and a user login time indicated by the user ID in association with each other. For example, when the user U0001 does not log in on June 19, and then logs in on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd, the determination unit 12 determines that the user is logging in continuously for 3 days. FIG. 2 shows that today's login corresponds to the second day of continuous login.

(Lottery setting process)
Next, when the determination unit 12 determines that the participation situation satisfies the first predetermined condition, the lottery target setting unit 13 changes the acquisition probability and / or expected value of the reward as follows. Set the target. For example, the lottery target setting unit 13 allows the user to select one lottery target on the first login day, allows the user to select two lottery targets on the second day of continuous login, and the user on the third day or more of the continuous login. Is set so that three lottery objects can be selected. At this time, the lottery target setting unit 13 may increase the probability of obtaining a reward by increasing the number of lotteries instead of increasing the number of lottery targets that can be selected as the number of continuous logins by the user increases. In addition, the expected value of reward may be increased by increasing the number of rewards included in one lottery object or increasing the rarity of rewards.

  Thus, by setting a conscious period of 2 days or 3 days as the number of continuous logins, the user's motivation can be maintained. In addition to simply logging in, a reward can be obtained if the first predetermined condition of continuous login is satisfied, which leads to a more in-depth game. That is, it is possible to prompt the user to log in periodically and play the game.

  The creation unit 14 thus creates setting information for displaying the set lottery object on the user's terminal device, and outputs the setting information to the terminal device 2 via the communication unit 16. In addition, the creation unit 14 creates the number of days of continuous login as posting information to be posted on the user terminal device 2 and outputs it to the terminal device 2 via the communication unit 16. The display unit 22 of the terminal device 2 acquires and displays (posts) the setting information and the posting information. An example of the screen displayed by the display unit 22 is as shown in FIG. At this time, the display unit 22 may display what condition the user has satisfied (in the example of FIG. 2, the user is logged in for two consecutive days).

  At this time, the creation unit 14 may create display information that suggests at least a part of the contents of the lottery object and output the display information to the terminal device 2 via the communication unit 16. The display unit 22 acquires and displays the display information. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the display unit 22 may display attributes, costs, and the like of some game media included in the contents of a plurality of lottery objects. Furthermore, the display unit 22 may display attributes, costs, and the like of all game media included in the contents of a plurality of lottery objects. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the display unit 22 may display the lottery object so that the recommended item, the outlier item, or the intermediate item can be seen through to the user. The display unit 22 may display a list of game media included in the displayed contents of the lottery object. The display unit 22 may display information suggesting the contents of the lottery object according to the time zone.

  A recommended item for a user is a game medium determined to be necessary for the user based on the status of the user, a game medium possessed by the user, or the like. An outlier item is a game medium that is determined to be unnecessary for the user from the status of the user, the game medium possessed by the user, or the like. An intermediate item is a game medium that is neither a recommended item nor a missed item. In addition, the user may be able to select which of the recommended items to the user, out of stock or intermediate items is transmitted.

  The user can select the lottery object displayed on the display unit 22 by a user operation such as pressing and tapping. In this way, by introducing the contingency of selecting by oneself, it is possible to give the user a sense of expectation that a luxury reward may be awarded depending on the selection.

  When the terminal device 2 detects the user operation, the communication unit 23 notifies the server device 1 of the lottery object selected by the user operation.

(Remuneration process)
The reward granting unit 15 of the server device 1 that has received the notification grants a reward to the user of the terminal device 2. Specifically, the reward granting unit 15 determines a reward by lottery according to the selection target, and notifies the terminal device 2 of the reward through the communication unit 16. The display unit 22 of the terminal device 2 displays the reward, and the lottery ends.

  FIG. 6 shows a screen example when the user selects two selection targets and the display unit 22 displays a reward for the selection. As shown in FIG. 6, the display unit 22 displays symbols in the lottery target boxes (the upper left box and the right center box) selected by the user, and also displays the content rewards. Moreover, the display part 22 may display the content of the selection object which the user did not select as shown in FIG. Thereby, it is possible to give a user a sense of fairness and to increase expectations for selection (reward).

  As shown in FIG. 6, rewards may be included in only five of the nine lottery objects, or rewards may be included in all nine selection objects. Moreover, all the rewards may be the same or different. In the following explanation, for convenience, when the user selects a lottery subject that contains a reward or when a user selects a lottery subject that has a reward whose value is higher than a predetermined value, A case where a lottery object that has not been selected or a case where a lottery object whose value is lower than a predetermined value is selected is defined as “out of”. The value higher than the predetermined value means that the degree of rarity is higher than that of rare, that is, the degree of rarity is super rare or ultra rare. Note that the lottery target setting unit 13 may change the probability of winning depending on the box selected by the user.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen when a reward is not given as a result of selection by the user (that is, when the user has lost the reward). The reward granting unit 15 may grant a reward when the number of times that the reward is not given as a result of selection is greater than or equal to a predetermined number. In this case, for example, the reward granting unit 15 accumulates the gauge (points) in the upper region R1 in FIG. 7 and gives a reward with high value when the gauge exceeds a predetermined value due to the selection by the same user deviating a predetermined number of times. May be. To deviate a predetermined number of times means that a reward with a rarity level lower than a predetermined value is given a predetermined number of times or no reward is given.In this way, even if the lottery result is not a favorable result for the user, login to the game is not possible. By continuing, it is possible to give the user a sense of security that a reliable reward can be obtained.

  Although the reward grant part 15 demonstrated the pattern which determines a reward by lottery after selection by a user above, the reward grant part 15 may determine the content of lottery object before selection by a user.

  In addition, as an aspect different from the above, “the participation condition satisfies the first predetermined condition” means that the total number of logins or login ratios within a predetermined period by the user exceeds a predetermined value or those values are It may be better than when you logged in.

  Furthermore, the game system can appropriately match the reward contents and the lottery mechanism according to the user's situation as follows. Specifically, “the participation condition satisfies the first predetermined condition” may be a login (restoration return) after a user does not log in for a predetermined period (for example, 30 days). When the determination unit 12 determines that the login by the user is a return from sleep, the lottery target setting unit 13 sets the number of selectable lottery targets more than the number of selection targets that can be selected otherwise. Also good. In this case, the lottery object setting unit 13 may change the number of selectable lottery objects according to the length of the period when the user has not logged in. In this case, the lottery target setting unit 13 may reduce the probability of “winning” at the time of the second continuous login by the user, may reduce the number of lottery targets that the user can select, Alternatively, the rarity of reward may be reduced. Thereby, it is possible to prompt the user returning to sleep to log in to the game, and to appropriately adjust the game balance between the user returning from sleep and the other users.

  Furthermore, “the participation status satisfies the first predetermined condition” may be that the first login by the user is the first login after user registration. When the determination unit 12 determines that the first login by the user is the first login after user registration, the lottery target setting unit 13 may increase the reward acquisition probability and / or the expected value. In this case, for example, the lottery target setting unit 13 reduces the probability of “winning” for the lottery at the second and subsequent consecutive logins lower than the probability of “winning” for the lottery at the first login. May be lowered. Accordingly, registration of the new user to the game and login are promoted, and the game balance between the new user and other users can be adjusted appropriately.

[Operation Flow of First Embodiment]
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an operation flow of the game system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  The terminal device 2 logs in to the server device 1 by a user operation (step S1). The server device 1 determines whether or not the participation status of the user in the game or the event in the game satisfies a predetermined condition (step S2). When the server device 1 determines that the participation status satisfies the predetermined condition (Yes in step S2), the server device 1 sets the lottery target by changing the reward acquisition probability and / or the expected value ( Step S3). On the other hand, when it is determined that the participation status does not satisfy the predetermined condition (No in Step S2), the server device 1 does not change the reward acquisition probability and / or the expected value (with a predetermined value). A lottery object is set (step S4). The server device 1 creates bulletin information and setting information and outputs them to the terminal device 2 (step S5), and the terminal device 2 displays the bulletin information and the setting information (step S6). In step S5, the server device 1 may create and output display information that suggests at least part of the contents of the lottery object, and in step S6, the terminal device 2 may display the display information. When it is detected that the user has selected the lottery object displayed by the terminal device 2 (step S7), the terminal device 2 notifies the server device 1 of the selected lottery object (step S8). Receiving the notification, the server device 1 gives a reward by lottery (step S9), and notifies the terminal device 2 of the reward (step S10). The display unit 22 of the terminal device 2 displays the reward (step S11), and the lottery ends.

  As described above, according to the game system according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the user can be prompted to log in again. Therefore, the game or the event in the game can be activated.

[Embodiment 2]
Hereinafter, Embodiment 2 will be described. A description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted. The same applies to the following description of the third and fourth embodiments.

(Determination process)
When the determination unit 12 determines that the participation status does not satisfy the first predetermined condition, the display unit 22 displays a screen that prompts the progress of the game or the event in the game. Specifically, first, after login by the user and the lottery (arbitrary) described in the first embodiment, the determination unit 12 determines whether or not continuous login is interrupted because the user did not log in the previous day. To do. When the determination unit 12 determines that the continuous login is interrupted, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the determination unit 12 may cause the display unit 22 to display a screen that prompts achievement of a game or an event in the game. For example, if the user forgets to log in on the next day (third day) after two consecutive days of login, the display unit 22 is displayed at the time of login on the next day (fourth day) when the user has not logged in. 9 is displayed to notify that it is possible to return to continuous login by achieving a game or an event in the game.

  Moreover, the determination part 12 determines the user's activity condition in the game or the event in a game. Specifically, the determination unit 12 determines whether or not the progress status of the game or the event in the game by the user satisfies the second predetermined condition. “The progress status satisfies the second predetermined condition” means, for example, that the user has achieved a predetermined game or an event in the game (for example, that the user has achieved a predetermined quest and won a battle) ). When the determination unit 12 detects that the user of the terminal device 2 has achieved a predetermined game or event in the game registered in the game / event DB 17b, the determination unit 12 associates the user ID with the game / event achievement DB 17c, The achievement date and the ID of the achieved game or event in the game are registered.

(Lottery target setting process and reward granting process)
Next, the lottery target setting unit 13 performs a lottery in addition to the lottery at the time of login (optional).

  Even when the determination unit 12 determines that the participation status does not satisfy the first predetermined condition, the determination unit 12 determines that the progress status satisfies the second predetermined condition. Determines that the participation status satisfies the first predetermined condition, and sets the lottery target by changing the reward acquisition probability and / or the expected value. Specifically, when it is detected that the user has achieved a game or a predetermined event in the game, the determination unit 12 considers that the user has performed continuous login even if continuous login has been interrupted. Explaining with the example used in the above determination process, the determination unit 12 considers that the user has logged in for four consecutive days, so the game system may perform a lottery corresponding to four consecutive logins. Thus, even if continuous login is interrupted, the continuation rate of a user's game can be maintained by comprising so that continuous login can be supplemented.

  Note that the determination unit 12 does not determine whether the participation status satisfies the first predetermined condition, but only determines whether the progress status satisfies the second predetermined condition. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the lottery target setting unit 13 may set the lottery target by changing the reward acquisition probability and / or the expected value.

  Since the subsequent lottery method is the same as the lottery method in the first embodiment, the description is omitted.

  By configuring in this way, the user can compensate for the deficiency of the first predetermined condition, and the motivation for achieving the second condition, for example, the achievement of the game or the event in the game can be enhanced.

  The second predetermined condition includes not only achievement of the above-mentioned game or event within the game, but also other users of rewards obtained by sending a return request to another user, soliciting (inviting) a new user, or lottery. There are notifications to
