  The game control program 21 is a web application for realizing a battle game in which a game card is used. The game control program 21 executes a predetermined process based on a request from the mobile terminal device 30 and outputs the processing result to the mobile terminal device 30. It is a program for responding to. Since the present invention relates to card composition of a game card, information and a program used for card composition will be described in detail below.

  The game card storage unit 22 is a storage unit that stores a plurality of virtual game cards used in the battle game. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of information stored in the game card storage unit 22. The game card storage unit 22 stores a game card name 221, a character name or item name 222, and an attribute 223 in association with each other. Here, the characters are characters, monsters, animals and the like in the battle game. Items are ornaments such as jewelry and necklaces. The attribute 223 is information indicating whether it is a character or an item. For example, if the attribute is “0”, it is a character, and if the attribute is “1”, it is an item.

  The card composition combination storage unit 23 is a game card (first game card) that is one of a plurality of game cards stored in the game card storage unit 22, and a game card that is a target of card composition of the game card. It is a memory | storage part which memorize | stores the combination (object of card | curd composition) with (2nd game card). Card synthesis can be understood as a broad concept related to game card synthesis including evolutionary synthesis and enhanced synthesis as described above, but in the first embodiment and each of the following embodiments, card synthesis is not possible. The case of evolutionary synthesis will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of information stored in the card composition combination storage unit 23 (only the game card A). The card composition combination storage unit 23 is a game card associated with a character to be evolved. An evolution game card (first game card in the first embodiment) 231 and a game card (second game in the first embodiment) that is a combination of evolutionary synthesis that evolves the characters of the evolution game card 231 A combination of the game card 233 and the evolved game card 233 associated with the evolved character is stored. For example, when the game card A associated with the first character (not shown) is an evolution game card, evolution synthesis is performed by combining the game card A, the game card a, and the game card b. Stores a setting for a game card AA associated with a second character (not shown). The evolutionary combination may include not only a game card associated with a character but also a game card associated with an item, or only a game card associated with an item. Further, the second game card that is a combination of evolutionary synthesis is not limited to the two game cards described above, and may be one game card or three or more game cards.

  The expiration date storage unit 24 is a storage unit that stores, for each game card, an expiration date (condition relating to card synthesis) that changes the contents of the synthesis process of evolutionary synthesis. In the first embodiment, it is only necessary to set an evolution game card associated with at least an evolveable character. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of information stored in the expiration date storage unit 24 (only the game card A). An expiration date 242 is set in the expiration date storage unit 24 in association with the game card name 241. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the expiration date start and the expiration date end are set in the expiration date 242. In the case of the game card A, the expiration date starts when the game starts, and the expiration date ends when a predetermined time elapses from the start of the game. The expiration date may not be the start of the game, but may be, for example, when a predetermined event occurs, when a player holds a game card, when a predetermined item is acquired, or the like. The expiration date may not be a predetermined time, but may be when a predetermined event ends, when a predetermined item is used, or the like.

  The card composition processing content storage unit 25 includes a first process that is a card composition process that is executed when an evolution composition instruction for evolution composition is made and a condition set for the evolution game card is satisfied; It is a storage unit for storing a second process that is a card composition process executed when the condition is not satisfied. In the first embodiment, a case where an expiration date stored in the expiration date storage unit 24 is applied as a condition will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of information stored in the card composition processing content storage unit 25 (only the game card A), and card composition processing (first processing and second processing) before and after the expiration date. The settings are stored. The card composition process is set for each game card associated with an evolving character, for example. In the case of the game card A, the setting of the evolution synthesis process is “card synthesis success probability 100%” before the expiration date (first processing), whereas “card synthesis success probability 5%” (after the expiration date) ( Second processing). In other words, the synthesis process before the expiration date is set to be more useful for the player than the synthesis process after the expiration date.

Next, the mobile terminal device 30 will be described.
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the mobile terminal device 30. As shown in FIG. 7, the mobile terminal device 30 is configured by connecting a control unit 31, a communication interface 32, an audio output unit 33, a storage unit 34, and a touch panel unit 35 to a bus line 36.

  The control unit 31 includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like, and processes a battle game in which a game card is used in addition to a function as a general web client by executing an application stored in the storage unit 34. It is configured to realize the function. The communication interface 32 controls communication with the web server device 10 via the network 2. The storage unit 14 includes, for example, a plurality of small HDDs and the like, and stores a game control program 41 in addition to storing an application (not shown) and data for realizing a general web client function. Further, the storage unit 34 has a player information storage unit 42.

  The game control program 41 is a native application for realizing a battle game in which a game card is used. The game control program 41 transmits a request to the web server device 10, receives a response to the request, and executes a process based on the response. It is a program.

  The player information storage unit 42 stores player information (for example, game play time, a game card to be held, information about other players making up the team, etc.) regarding the player game. The player information may be managed by the web server device 10 alone, or may be managed by the mobile terminal device 30 and the web server device 10 overlappingly, or the mobile terminal device 30 and the web server device 10 may be managed. You may share and manage.

The touch panel unit 35 includes a display unit 43 that performs display for the player, and an input unit 44 that receives an instruction from the player. For example, when the player advances the battle game while visually recognizing the game content displayed on the display unit 43 and performs evolution synthesis, a synthesis button on a menu screen on the input unit 44, and then an evolution synthesis button described later. 52 is input, an evolutionary synthesis screen is displayed on the display unit 43, and an evolutionary synthesis operation is performed based on the display of the evolutionary synthesis screen .

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of an evolutionary synthesis screen displayed on the display unit 43 of the mobile terminal device 30. As shown in FIG. 8, on the lower side of the display screen, a plurality of substantially rectangular buttons (home, quest, composition, shop, menu ) 51 for switching to another screen are arranged in a horizontal row. An evolution synthesis button 52 for instructing the synthesis of evolution synthesis is arranged above the plurality of buttons 51. The evolution synthesis button 52 has a slightly wide shape so that the player can easily find it, and is differentiated from the button 51 for switching the screen. A holding card unit 53 is provided above the evolution / combination button 52. The holding card unit 53 displays a column of game cards held by the player. In FIG. 8, a maximum of 15 sheets of 5 sheets × 3 stages are displayed at a time. A material card unit 54 is provided on the upper side of the holding card unit 53. In FIG. 8, 5 sheets of 5 sheets × 1 stage can be arranged. In the material card unit 54, a player places a game card of a character that is a combination of evolutionary synthesis of characters to be evolved.

  On the upper side of the material card unit 54, an evolution game card arrangement unit 55, an item display unit 56, and an information display unit 57 are arranged from the left side in the figure. In the evolution game card arrangement unit 55, a game card associated with the character to be evolved is arranged by the player. The item display unit 56 displays the item when the item used for evolutionary synthesis has been acquired. The information display unit 57 displays various information related to evolutionary synthesis. For example, when a game card is placed in the evolution game card placement unit 55, the information display unit 57 displays other characters necessary for the evolution synthesis of the characters of the game card or displays the expiration date of evolution synthesis. In addition, the setting contents of the synthesis process before and after the expiration date of evolutionary synthesis are displayed. Note that the settings related to the information displayed on the information display unit 57 can be arbitrarily set.

  Next, the evolution synthesis process in the game system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. FIG. 9 is an example of a flowchart showing the evolutionary synthesis process, and FIG. 10 is an example of a sub-flowchart showing details of the synthesis process (step S109 in FIG. 9).

  The player progresses the battle game while visually recognizing the game content displayed on the display unit 43. While the battle game is in progress, the player described above from the home screen of one mobile terminal device 30 in the team 30a. When the composite button is input (ST101), a request indicating the input content is transmitted to the web server device 10, and the web server device 10 sends a response for displaying a composite screen based on the request to the mobile terminal device 30. Send to. Based on this response, the mobile terminal device 30 displays on the display unit 43 an inquiry as to whether it is evolutionary synthesis or enhanced synthesis (ST102). When the player instructs the evolution synthesis, a request indicating the instruction is transmitted to the web server device 10 again. In response to this, the web server device 10 transmits a response for displaying the evolved synthesis screen to the mobile terminal device 30 based on the request. Based on this response, the mobile terminal device 30 displays an evolution synthesis screen on the display unit 43 (ST103, see: FIG. 8). At this time, the mobile terminal device 30 displays a column of the game card held by the player on the holding card unit 53 with reference to the player information storage unit 42.

  Next, a character to be evolved by the player is selected from the characters displayed on the holding card unit 53. Then, the game card of the character is moved to the evolution game card placement unit 55, and the evolution game card is selected (ST104). As a result, a request indicating information for selecting the evolution game card is transmitted to the web server device 10. The web server device 10 acquires information related to the evolution synthesis of the game card selected as the evolution game card (evolution synthesis combination, expiration date, synthesis processing content, etc.), and transmits the information to the mobile terminal device 30 as a response. . Receiving this, the mobile terminal device 30 displays information on evolutionary synthesis on the information display unit 57 (ST105).

  Next, the player moves the game card of the character, which is a combination of evolutionary synthesis, from the game cards displayed on the holding card unit 53 to the material card unit 54 (ST106). If there is one character to be combined, one game card is moved to the material card unit 54, and if there are two or more characters to be combined, a game card corresponding to the number is moved to the material card unit 54. By displaying the characters to be combined on the information display unit 57 in this way, the player can select a game card smoothly and place the game card without making a mistake in the combination character.

  Next, the evolution synthesis button 52 is input by the player (ST107). In response to this, the mobile terminal device 30 transmits information indicating the input of the evolution synthesis button 52 and information on the game cards arranged in the evolution game card arrangement unit 55 and the material card unit 54 to the web server device 10 as a request. . In response to the request, the web server device 10 determines whether evolutionary synthesis is possible. Specifically, the web server device 10 determines whether or not the game card information transmitted from the mobile terminal device 30 is correct as an evolutionary combination based on information stored in the card combination combination storage unit 23. (ST108).

  If it is determined that the combination of evolutionary synthesis is not correct (ST108: NO), the web server device 10 transmits a response for displaying an error to the mobile terminal device 30. In the portable terminal device 30, the error is displayed on the display unit 43, and for example, the process returns to the process of step S106 for accepting selection of a game card again.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the combination of evolutionary synthesis is correct (ST108: YES), the web server device 10 executes evolutionary synthesis processing (ST109). This synthesis process will be described with reference to the sub-flowchart of FIG.

  First, the web server device 10 acquires the expiration date set for the game card (evolution game card) arranged in the evolution game card arrangement unit 55 from the expiration date storage unit 24 (ST201). Next, the web server device 10 determines whether or not the timing when the evolved synthesis button 52 is input has passed the expiration date based on the game progress status of the player (for example, the game play time of the player) (ST202). .

  If it is determined that it is before the expiration date (ST202: YES), the web server device 10 refers to the card composition processing content storage unit 25 and performs evolutionary composition with a card composition success probability of 100% (ST203). Since the card success probability is 100%, evolutionary synthesis is always successful and the character evolves. On the other hand, when it is determined that the expiration date has passed (ST202: NO), the web server device 10 refers to the card composition processing content storage unit 25 and performs evolutionary composition with a card composition success probability of 5% (ST204). . Since the card synthesis success probability is 5%, the character may evolve, but in many cases it fails and the character does not evolve.

  After performing the evolutionary synthesis (after ST203 or ST204), the web server device 10 transmits the evolutionary synthesis result as a response to the mobile terminal device 30 (ST205). With this process, the description of the sub-flowchart of FIG.

  The mobile terminal device 30 that has received the response from the web server device 10 displays the result of the evolution synthesis process on the display unit 43 (ST110). When displaying this evolutionary synthesis result on the display unit 43, the mobile terminal device 30 outputs information that produces success or failure based on whether or not evolutionary synthesis was successful (display on the display unit 43 and audio output). Audio output by the unit 33). The player can visually recognize whether evolutionary synthesis has succeeded or failed by the display and sound of the display unit 43.

  The web server device 10 configured as described above is based on whether or not the timing of the input (synthesis instruction) of the evolution / combination button 52 has passed the expiration date set for the evolution game card. Since the synthesis process is changed from the first process to the second process, the player can be made aware of whether or not to perform the evolution synthesis during the game play, and the evolution synthesis can be activated according to the progress of the game. be able to.

  Further, the web server device 10 has evolved so that the synthesis process (first process) before the expiration date becomes more useful for the player than the synthesis process (second process) after the expiration date has passed. The composition process is changed. More specifically, the success probability of evolutionary synthesis before the expiration date is 100%, and the success probability of evolutionary synthesis after the expiration date is 5%. The success probability is set much higher than after the expiration date. For this reason, it is possible to prompt the player to perform the evolutionary synthesis before the expiration date, and to further activate the evolutionary synthesis.

  Further, the web server device 10 provides information on evolutionary synthesis, for example, a combination of evolutionary synthesis, an expiration date (may be a time limit until the expiration date expires), and contents of evolutionary synthesis processing before and after expiration of the expiration date. 30 information display portions 57 can be displayed. Therefore, the player can visually recognize that it is beneficial to perform evolutionary synthesis before the expiration date. For this reason, it is possible to prompt the player to perform the evolutionary synthesis before the expiration date, and to further activate the evolutionary synthesis. Further, since a character that is a combination of evolutionary synthesis can be displayed, the player can surely understand the combination of evolutionary synthesis and can easily perform the operation of evolutionary synthesis. Thus, if the player performs evolutionary synthesis without stress, it leads to activation of evolutionary synthesis.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, the content that changes the synthesis process of evolutionary synthesis is the first application in the evolutionary synthesis of the first process, and the first application is used in the evolutionary synthesis of the second process. This is different from the first embodiment described above in that the second application is different from the first embodiment. Therefore, hereinafter, the process of evolutionary synthesis will be described in detail. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the structure same as 1st Embodiment, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of information stored in the card composition combination storage unit 23 (only a field for setting a game card after evolution of the game card A). As shown in FIG. 11, the evolved game card 233 a can be set to two settings, a first setting 2331 and a second setting 2332, and the character of the game card A is set to the game card AA in the first setting 2331. The second character 2332 evolves into a character associated with a game card AB different from the game card AA. Here, for example, the character of the game card AA is set to be more beneficial to the player (for example, a stronger character) than the character of the game card AB.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of information stored in the card composition processing content storage unit 25 (only the game card A) 25a. As shown in FIG. 12, for game card A, 254 before the expiration date is evolved and synthesized to the character of the game card of the first setting 2331 with a card composition success probability of 100% (first processing), and 255 after the expiration date. Is set to evolve and synthesize into the character of the game card having the second setting 2332 (second processing). In the second embodiment, the first setting of the evolutionary synthesis success probability is explained as 100%, but the evolutionary synthesis success probability can be arbitrarily changed.

  FIG. 13 is an example of a sub-flowchart showing the synthesis process of the web server device 10 configured as described above. As shown in FIG. 13, similarly to steps S <b> 201 and S <b> 202 of FIG. 10, when the web server device 10 acquires the expiration date of the evolution game card (ST <b> 301), whether or not the expiration date of the evolution game card has passed. Is determined (ST302). If the web server device 10 determines that it is before the expiration date (ST302: YES), the game card character of the first setting 2331 (that is, the character of the game card AA) with a card composition success probability of 100%. If it is determined that the expiration date has passed (ST302: NO), the game card character of the second setting 2332 (that is, the character of the game card AB) is evolved and synthesized. Next, the web server device 10 outputs the result of evolutionary synthesis to the mobile terminal device 30 (S305).

  The web server device 10 configured as described above has an application for evolutionary synthesis before the expiration of the expiration date (primarily the first usage in which the success probability changes) and an application for evolutionary synthesis after the expiration of the expiration date (first setting 2331). To the character of the second setting 2332, that is, the second use to evolve to a different character. In addition, since the setting before the expiration date is more beneficial (stronger character) than after the expiration date, the player can be prompted to evolve and combine before the expiration date. For this reason, activation of evolutionary synthesis can be achieved.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, the contents of the synthesis process of evolutionary synthesis (the contents of the first process and the second process) differ with the passage of time. More specifically, the first embodiment The point which becomes the content demonstrated by 2nd Embodiment from the content demonstrated by 1 is different from 1st Embodiment as stated above. Therefore, hereinafter, the process of evolutionary synthesis will be described in detail. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the structure same as 1st Embodiment, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of information stored in the expiration date storage unit 24 (only for the game card A) 24a. In the expiration date storage unit 24a, a first expiration date 243 and a second expiration date 244 are set for each game card name 241. In the first expiration date 243 and the second expiration date 244, an expiration date start and an expiration date end are set, respectively. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, for the game card A, the first expiration date is the second expiration time until the first expiration date elapses from the start of the game until the first expiration time elapses. Until the third predetermined time has elapsed. FIG. 15 illustrates the period in an easy-to-understand manner and can be divided into four periods T1 to T4 as illustrated.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of information stored in the card composition processing content storage unit 25 (only the game card A) 25b. FIG. 17 is an example of a sub-flowchart showing the synthesis process. As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, if the game card A is before the first expiration date (period T1) (ST401: YES), the card composition success probability is 100% and the game card A having the first setting 2331 is set. If it is evolved and synthesized into a character (ST402) and before the second expiration date starts (period T2) after the first expiration date has passed (ST403: YES), the game card with the first setting 2331 with a card composition success probability of 5%. (ST404). Further, if it is before the second valid period (period T3) (ST405: YES), it is evolved and synthesized to the character of the game card of the first setting 2331 with a card synthesis success probability of 100% (ST406), and the second valid period has elapsed. If it is later (ST405: NO), it is set so as to be evolved and synthesized to the character of the game card of the second setting 2332 (ST407).

  The web server device 10 configured in this way makes the content of the change in the synthesis process of evolutionary synthesis different with time. Specifically, as the time elapses, the expiration date from the first evolutionary synthesis process (refer to the first embodiment) that significantly increases the success probability before the expiration date than after the expiration date has elapsed. The process proceeds to a second evolutionary synthesis process (refer to the second embodiment) in which the usage of evolutionary synthesis before the elapse of time and the usage of evolutionary synthesis after the expiration of the expiration date are different. Therefore, it is possible to promote evolutionary synthesis before the expiration of the expiration date within each period of the first expiration date 243 and the second expiration date 244. Further, the first and second synthesis processes can be combined with the passage of time, so that it is possible to activate evolutionary synthesis and to further improve the taste of evolutionary synthesis.

(Fourth embodiment)
Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. The fourth embodiment is different from the first embodiment described above in that the first synthesis result by the evolutionary synthesis of the first process is different from the second synthesis result by the evolutionary synthesis of the second process. Is different. Therefore, hereinafter, the process of evolutionary synthesis will be described in detail. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the structure same as 1st Embodiment, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of information stored in the card composition processing content storage unit 25 (only the game card A) 25c. As shown in FIG. 18, the game card name 251 is set with the contents of the evolution synthesis process 260 before the expiration date and 261 after the expiration date. For the game card A, for example, 260 before the expiration date has evolved into a character associated with the first set game card (game card AC) (first process), and after the expiration date 261 has the second setting. Is set to evolve into a character associated with the game card (game card AD) (second process). Here, as the character associated with the game card AC, a character (for example, a stronger character) that is more useful to the player than the character associated with the game card AD is set.

  FIG. 19 is an example of a sub-flowchart showing the synthesis process. As shown in FIG. 19, similarly to steps S <b> 201 and S <b> 202 of FIG. 10, when the web server device 10 acquires the expiration date of the evolution game card (ST <b> 501), whether or not the expiration date of the evolution game card has passed. Is determined (ST502). If the web server device 10 determines that it is before the expiration date (ST502: YES), the web server device 10 is evolved and synthesized into the character of the first setting game card (that is, the character of the game card AC), and the expiration date is set. If it is determined that the time has elapsed (ST502: NO), it is evolved and synthesized to the character of the second set game card (that is, the game card AD). Next, the web server device 10 transmits the result of evolutionary synthesis to the mobile terminal device 30 (S505).

  The web server device 10 configured in this way includes an evolutionary synthesis result (first synthesis result) before the expiration date and an evolutionary synthesis effect (second synthesis result) after the expiration date. However, since the synthesis result before the expiration date is more beneficial to the player than the synthesis result after the expiration date, it is possible to encourage the player to evolve synthesis before the expiration date, Activation of evolutionary synthesis can be achieved.

  In the fourth embodiment, a case has been described in which the character is different between the first setting and the second setting as the difference in the synthesis effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this setting. For example, the characters of the first and second settings are the same, but the setting of the game card of the first setting can be made fine and the design of the game card of the second setting can be simplified.

(Fifth embodiment)
Next, a fifth embodiment will be described. The fifth embodiment is different from the first to fourth embodiments described above in the method for obtaining the expiration date. Therefore, in the following, the process for acquiring the expiration date will be described in detail. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the structure same as 1st Embodiment, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a priority value setting unit 60 that indicates the setting of a character or item and a priority value. As shown in FIG. 20, the priority value setting unit 60 associates a category 61 with a priority value 62, the rare character is “5”, the rare item is “4”, the main character is “3”, Priority values are set such that the character is “2” and the item is “1”. The priority value thus set is stored for each game card by adding a priority value field to the game card storage unit 22. In addition, for a game card associated with an item, an expiration date is set for each item in the expiration date storage unit 24 as in the case of a game card associated with a character.

  FIG. 21 is an example of a flowchart illustrating processing in which the web server device 10 acquires an expiration date. The web server device 10 acquires an expiration date set for one game card from among the game cards used for evolutionary synthesis in accordance with a preset rule. A specific expiration date acquisition process will be described below.

  As illustrated in FIG. 21, when the web server device 10 receives a request including information indicating the input of the evolution synthesis button 52, the evolution game card (first game card), a combination game card, and / or The priority values of the item game cards (second game cards), that is, all game cards related to evolutionary synthesis are acquired (ST601). Although the priority values of all game cards related to evolutionary synthesis are targeted for acquisition here, the priority values set for the items may be removed and only the expiration date set for the character may be targeted. In this case, only the priority value set for the character may be acquired using the setting of the attribute 223 in the information stored in the game card storage unit 22 (refer to FIG. 3).

  Next, the web server device 10 selects the highest priority value from all the priority values (ST602), and acquires the expiration date set for the game card in which the selected priority value is set from the game card storage unit 22. (ST603). The subsequent processing is the same as the processing after step S202 in FIG.

  In the web server device 10 configured as described above, the expiration date set for the evolution game card is usually selected, but a game card having a high priority value such as a rare character or a rare item is used as a combination of evolution synthesis. If included, the expiration date set for the rare character or rare item is acquired. For this reason, it becomes possible to give a variation about the expiration date for making the content of the synthesis process of evolutionary synthesis different.

  Further, since the information display unit 57 displays the expiration date associated with the evolution game card, the contents of the evolution synthesis process, etc., when the expiration date is selected from a game card other than the evolution game card, There may be a case where the display content of the display unit 57 is different from the actual processing content. Therefore, when a game card other than the evolution game card is selected, the web server device 10 may once send a response for confirming the expiration date and the contents of the evolution synthesis process to the player. Thereby, it is possible to prevent evolutionary synthesis from being performed under conditions unforeseen for the player.

  In the first to fifth embodiments described above, the card synthesis of the present invention has been described in the case of evolutionary synthesis. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Can be applied. In addition, the condition relating to the card composition for transitioning the contents of the card composition process from the first process to the second process is described in the case of determining whether or not the expiration date stored in the expiration date storage unit 24 has passed. However, it is not limited to this condition.

  In addition, as the setting after the expiration date of the card composition processing content storage unit 25, for example, among the other players constituting the team 30a, the intimacy is the highest (for example, the game play time is the longest together, or It is also possible to make a setting in which a game card whose expiration date has passed is presented to the player (such as the closest parameter value). By setting in this way, it becomes possible to present a game card that is not used until the expiration date has passed, in other words, a game card unnecessary for the player to other players with high intimacy. For this reason, the player who received the game card can expand the possibility of card synthesis by using the game card, and can lead to further activation of card synthesis.

  Furthermore, in the first to fifth embodiments, a case where the expiration date setting stored in the expiration date storage unit 24 is similarly applied to any portable terminal device 30 (player) is described. However, for example, it may be changed for each portable terminal device 30. In this case, the web server device 10 determines the expiration date stored in the expiration date storage unit 24 based on the player information stored in the player information storage unit 42 (such as the play time of the battle game or the level of the character to be evolved). Then, a process such as adding or decreasing a certain period or multiplying the expiration date by a certain ratio is performed. Thus, by making it possible to change the expiration date according to the player, it is possible to set an expiration date suitable for the player playing the battle game.
