The processing unit 100 includes a state change unit 110, a storage control unit 112, an item assignment unit 114, and an image generation unit 120.

  When the operation input for instructing deletion of the item designated by the player is received from the terminal 10, the state changing unit 110 performs processing for updating the player information 176 and making the designated item unusable. Specifically, an operation input for displaying an image representing a trash bin on a screen that displays a list of items that can be used by the player and moving the item to the trash bin (an operation input for instructing deletion of a specified item) Is received, the item is moved to the trash box, and the item moved (stored) in the trash box is made unusable. Note that the item stored in the trash can may be displayed based on the operation input so that the player can check the item stored in the trash can at an arbitrary timing. In addition, items stored in the recycle bin can be confirmed until the predetermined period has elapsed since the item was stored in the recycle bin. When the predetermined period has passed, the item stored in the recycle bin cannot be confirmed (non- Display). In addition, when a plurality of players form a group (team) and play a game, a trash box common to the group is displayed, and in addition to the items that the player has moved to the trash box, the player belongs to the same group as the player. Display or non-display control may also be performed for items moved to the trash box by the player.

  The storage control unit 112 controls the storage unit 174 (storage unit) to store (accumulate) information related to the attribute of the item that has become unusable (item stored in the trash box). The item attribute may be anything as long as it is information attached to the item, such as a character attribute (narrow sense attribute), a character type (kind), an item rarity, a place where the item is acquired, and a character Skills (special effects that the character can activate), etc. For example, the storage unit 174 stores the attribute (narrow sense attribute), type, rare degree, and the like of each item in association with the identification information of each item that has become unusable. In addition, the storage control unit 112 is provided on the server and corresponds to each player of the plurality of players the information regarding the attribute of the item that has become unavailable based on the operation input received from the respective terminals of the plurality of players.

The item granting unit 114 (game element granting unit) gives the player the attribute information (attribute information accumulated in the storage unit 174) related to the attributes of the plurality of items (an example of game elements) that have become unusable. A new item to be made available is determined, and processing for making the decided item available to the player is performed. That is, the player information 176 is updated, and the item made available to the player is registered in the player information 176 as an available item. Note that the number of new items that can be used by the player may be one, or a plurality of new items may be used by the player. When a plurality of players form a group (team) and play a game, a new item may be made available to each of the plurality of players belonging to the group, or the players in the group that make the item usable An upper limit may be set for the number, and new items may be made available to players belonging to the group within the range of the upper limit. The number of items that can be used may be determined randomly, the number of items deleted by the player or each player belonging to the same group, or the game results of each player belonging to the player or the same group. It may be determined according to (level, experience value, score).

  Moreover, the item provision part 114 may total the number for every attribute based on the said attribute information, and may determine the said new item based on a total result. Moreover, the item provision part 114 may determine the attribute of the said new item based on the said total result. Moreover, the item provision part 114 may determine the attribute with the most number as an attribute of the said new item based on the said total result. Further, the item granting unit 114 may determine the new item by performing a lottery based on the counting result. Further, the item granting unit 114 may determine the attribute of the new item by performing a lottery so that the winning probability of the attribute with the largest number is high based on the counting result. For example, the number of items for each attribute (narrow sense attribute) such as “fire attribute”, “water attribute”, and “light attribute” may be counted, or items for each type such as “attack type” and “recovery type” The number of items may be counted, or the number of items for each rare degree such as “normal”, “rare”, and “super rare” may be counted. And when counting the number of each attribute (in the narrow sense), determine the attribute with the largest number as the attribute of the new item, and when counting the number by type, select the type with the largest number. When it is determined as the type of a new item and the number for each rare degree is totaled, the most rare degree may be determined as the rare degree of the new item. In addition, a new item attribute (or type, rare degree) may be determined by performing a lottery so that the winning probability of the attribute (or type, rare degree) having the largest number is high. Also, the attribute, type, and rare degree may be aggregated to determine the attribute, type, and rare degree of the new item, or at least one of the attribute, type, and rare degree may be aggregated, At least one of the attribute, type and rarity of the new item may be determined. Note that the item assigning unit 114 may aggregate attribute information related to attributes of a plurality of items that are disabled for each player of the plurality of players based on operation inputs received from the respective terminals of the plurality of players. .

  Further, the item granting unit 114 performs processing for making the new item available to players (or a plurality of players belonging to the same group (team)) when the game situation satisfies a predetermined condition. Also good. For example, the game situation may be determined to satisfy a predetermined condition when logging in, starting a game, clearing a game, or when a player's level or experience value reaches a predetermined value. In addition, the item granting unit 114 has a predetermined number of items that are in the unusable state, a number for each item attribute (for example, a narrowly defined attribute, type, rarity), or a total of parameter values for the item. When reaching the above, processing for making the new item available to the player may be performed. In addition, the item granting unit 114 counts the number of items in the unusable state, the number for each item attribute (for example, narrowly defined attribute, type, rarity), or the parameter value (for example, level, When the total number of (experience values) reaches a predetermined number within a predetermined period, processing for making the new item available to the player may be performed.

  In addition, when a plurality of items that can be combined with the plurality of items in the unusable state are included, the item assigning unit 114 adds a new item obtained by combining the plurality of items that can be combined to the player ( Alternatively, a process of making it available to a plurality of players belonging to the same group (team) may be performed.

  Further, the item granting unit 114 may perform a process of making the new item available to at least one player belonging to the same group.

Further, the item granting unit 114 may determine the new item by performing a lottery with a winning probability according to the status of the group. For example, the item assigning unit 114 may determine the game results of each player belonging to the same group (level, experience value, score, etc. of each player) and the number of players belonging to the same group (or The new item may be determined by performing a lottery with a winning probability corresponding to an active rate). For example, the higher the game score of each player belonging to a group, or the greater the number of players belonging to a group, the higher the rarity of new items that can be used by players belonging to that group. May be performed.

  The image generation unit 120 generates image generation data for displaying a game image on the terminal 10 based on the result of the processing performed by the processing unit 100. The generated image generation data is transmitted to each terminal 10 by the processing unit 100 via the communication unit 196. Here, the image generation data is data for displaying an image generated by the method of the present embodiment on each information processing terminal, and may be image data itself or each information processing terminal generates an image. Various data (object data, game process result data, etc.) used for this purpose may be used. The image generation unit 120 includes a display control unit 122.

  The display control unit 122 performs processing for displaying on the terminal 10 an image representing a count result obtained by counting the number for each attribute. The image representing the counting result may be an image representing the counting result itself, or may be an image roughly representing the counting result.

  It should be noted that the processing unit of the terminal 10 performs various game processes (process for advancing the game based on input information, process for generating a game image) based on the program transmitted (downloaded) from the server 20, and the server 20 Based on the game result data, update processing of various data (game parameters, data related to collected items, etc.) associated with each player in the player information of the storage unit 174 may be performed.

2. Next, the method of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The game of the present embodiment is a single play type online RPG. Each player operates by playing his / her player character in a game space independent of each other in a common game world setting.

  3 and 4 are diagrams showing an example of a game screen (game image) generated by the game system of the present embodiment. The game screen GI is displayed on the touch panel of the terminal 10 (display unit of the terminal 10), and the player can perform an operation input by performing an operation (touch operation) for bringing a fingertip, a touch pen, or the like into contact with the touch panel.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a game screen GI displayed when a battle with an enemy character is performed. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of items IT (an example of a game element) representing a plurality of player characters are displayed in a lower area A1 of the game screen GI, and an upper area A2 of the game screen GI An image representing a game field (game space) is displayed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, four items IT corresponding to four characters that are player characters are displayed. The player can freely select and set four items (to form a party and deck) to be displayed in the area A1 from among a plurality of items (character cards) owned (usable) by the player. .

Each time the player performs an operation of touching the game screen GI (arbitrary position in the area A2) once, the game progresses (the player character advances to the back side of the game space). Enemy character EC and a new item (player character, etc.) appear. The enemy character EC is a so-called NPC that is computer controlled by a given algorithm. When an enemy character EC or an item appears in the game space, the player can cause the player character to attack the enemy character EC or acquire the appearing item by performing an action instruction by a touch operation.

  The player is given a behavior parameter indicating the behavior power, and a behavior strength gauge AG indicating the remaining amount of the behavior parameter is displayed in the area A2 of the game screen GI. On the right side of the behavioral force gauge AG, the upper limit value of the behavioral force parameter (“100” in FIG. 3) and the remaining amount of the current behavioral force parameter (“80” in FIG. 3) are displayed in numbers. Is done. The total length of the action power gauge AG represents the upper limit value of the action force parameter.

  The value of the action parameter decreases by a predetermined amount every time the player performs a touch operation for progressing the game. When the value of the action parameter becomes 0, the player's progress instruction operation input is not accepted, and the player character cannot act (the game does not progress even by a touch operation). The value of the behavior parameter automatically recovers (increases) with time. Further, by using a recovery item (for example, a recovery agent) for increasing the value of the behavior parameter, the value of the behavior parameter can be recovered.

  The limited-time game of this embodiment is composed of a plurality of stages, and by defeating a boss character that is an enemy character appearing at the goal point of each stage, the stage can be cleared and proceed to the next stage. . When the stage is cleared, a new item (player character, recovery item, etc.), experience value, in-game currency, etc. are given to the player. In the area A2 of the game screen GI, a progress gauge PG indicating the progress in the stage being played is displayed.

  In the game of the present embodiment, the number of items that can be held (usable) by the player is limited (for example, up to 20 items), and items cannot be held exceeding the upper limit. The player can reduce the number of items held by deleting unnecessary items (making them unusable).

  When an operation for erasing an item held by the player (making it unusable) is performed, information regarding the attribute of the item that has become unusable is accumulated in the server 20. Then, a new item is generated based on the accumulated information and made available to the player.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen for selecting an item to be deleted. The game screen GI shown in FIG. 4 displays a list of icon ICs representing items held by the player. In addition, a trash box RI (an image representing the trash box) is displayed on the game screen GI shown in FIG. On the game screen GI, the player moves the icon to the trash box RI by a drag operation while touching the icon IC of the item to be deleted from the plurality of icon ICs (an example of an operation input for instructing the item deletion). The item can be deleted by performing. When an operation for deleting an item is performed on the game screen GI shown in FIG. 4, the icon IC of the item is deleted from the game screen GI, and the item becomes unusable. Further, when the player performs a touch operation on the trash can RI, information indicating the attributes and the number of items that are moved (stored) in the trash can RI and become unusable is displayed.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of item information for managing items held by the player. The item information is stored as player information 176 in the storage unit 174 of the server 20.

As shown in FIG. 5, the item information 200 stores an identification number 210 of each item held by the player and information indicating the attribute of each item. The item attributes (broad attributes) include character attributes 220 (narrow attributes) indicating “fire attributes”, “water attributes”, “light attributes”, “attack type”, “recovery type”, “ There are character types 230 such as “balance type” and “dragon type”, and rareness 240 such as “normal”, “rare”, and “super rare”. In addition to the attributes shown in FIG. 5, the location where the item is acquired, the skill of the character, and the like may be set as attributes. In addition, the item information 200 stores a level 250 and an experience value 260 of each item.

  When the player performs an operation for deleting an item, information on the item is deleted from the item information 200, and the item becomes unusable. In addition, information related to the deleted item attributes (narrowly defined attributes, types, rarity, etc.) is accumulated in the storage unit 174 as attribute information. That is, the attribute information is information including information regarding the attributes of a plurality of items that have been deleted by the player so far. In addition to the attributes of each deleted item, the level and experience value of each item may be stored as attribute information.

  In the present embodiment, a new item that can be used by the player is determined based on the attribute information, and the new item is given to the player in a usable state. For example, the number (number of items) for each attribute (narrowly defined attribute, type, rarity) is counted based on the attribute information, and a new item is determined based on the counting result.

  FIG. 6A shows an example of a totaling result when the number 270 for each attribute 220 is totaled based on the attribute information. The aggregated result in FIG. 6 (A) shows that among the deleted items, there are 7 “fire attribute” items, 3 “water attribute” and “tree attribute” items, and 5 “light attribute” items. This indicates that there are two items of “darkness attribute”. FIG. 6B shows an example of the total result when the number 270 for each type 230 is totaled based on the attribute information. FIG. 6C shows the number 270 for each rare degree 240 based on the attribute information. An example of a counting result when counting is shown.

  Then, from such a totaling result, for example, the attribute with the largest number is determined as the attribute of a new item that can be used by the player. For example, in the example of FIG. 6A (when the number for each attribute 220 is totaled), since the number of “fire attributes” is the largest as the attribute 220, the attribute of the new item is set to “fire attribute”. In the example of FIG. 6B (when the number of each type 230 is counted), since the number of “recovery types” is the largest as the type 230, the type of the new item is set to “recovery type”. In the example of FIG. 6C (the number for each rare degree 240 is totaled), since the number of “normal” is the largest as the rare degree 240, the rare degree of the new item is set to “normal”.

  In addition, a new item attribute may be determined by performing a lottery so that the winning probability of the attribute with the largest number is high based on the counting result. For example, in the example of FIG. 6A, a lottery is performed using a lottery table in which the winning probability of “fire attribute” is the highest, and attributes of new items are determined, and the example of FIG. Then, a lottery table is used to determine the new item type by using the lottery table with the highest “recovery type” winning probability. In the example of FIG. 6C, the winning probability of “normal” is A lottery is performed using the highest lottery table to determine the rarity of a new item.

  Further, an attribute different from the attribute may be determined as an attribute of a new item based on the most numerous attribute obtained by aggregation. For example, when there is a superiority or inferiority relationship (for example, a three-way relationship) between the attributes 220, an attribute that is dominant with respect to the most numerous attributes may be determined as an attribute of a new item. For example, among attributes 220, “water attribute” is strong for “fire attribute”, “tree attribute” is strong for “water attribute”, and “fire attribute” is strong for “tree attribute”. In the example of FIG. 6A, since the number of “fire attributes” is the largest, “water attribute” that is strong against “fire attributes” is determined as a new item attribute.

  Alternatively, an item having a predetermined attribute may be determined as a new item on condition that the number of specific attributes has reached a predetermined number. For example, when the number for each type 230 is counted, and the number of “attack types” has reached a predetermined number (for example, 10), “dragon type” may be set as a new item type. Good. Further, when the number of each rare degree 240 is counted, and the number of “rare” has reached a predetermined number (for example, 10), “super rare” may be set as the rare degree of a new item. Good.

  Also, based on the attribute information, when it is determined that a plurality of items that can be combined are included in the plurality of deleted items, the item obtained by combining the plurality of items that can be combined is a new item. May be determined as For example, if a new item that evolved the base item can be generated by compositing a plurality of predetermined material items to the base item that is the base of the composition, When the base item and a plurality of predetermined material items are included, an item obtained by evolving the base item is made available to the player.

  A plurality of items may be determined as new items that can be used by the player. The number of new items available to the player may be determined randomly, depending on the total number of items erased, the number of items erased per day, and game performance (level, experience points, scores) May be determined. For example, the number of items that can be used by the player may be increased as the number of deleted items increases (or as the game score increases).

  In addition, when totaling attribute information, you may display the image showing a total result on the screen (refer FIG. 4) which selects the item to delete. For example, when counting the number for each attribute 220, as shown in FIG. 7, a pie chart indicating the number for each attribute 220 may be displayed as an image TR indicating the counting result. In addition, when lottery is performed so that the winning probability of the attribute with the largest number is high based on the counting result, an image representing the winning probability may be displayed as an image representing the counting result. In addition, when counting the number of each rare degree 240, an image representing the probability that a rare item (an item whose rare degree 240 is “rare” or “super rare”) is made available is displayed as an image representing the total result. May be. In this way, it is possible to provide the player with a judgment material for selecting an item to be deleted.

  In the present embodiment, when the game situation satisfies a predetermined condition, a new item determined based on the attribute information is made available to the player. For example, when the game stage is cleared (when the boss character is defeated), when the game starts, when the user logs in, or when the player's level or experience value reaches a predetermined value, the game situation newly satisfies the predetermined condition. Items may be made available to the player.

  Further, when the number of deleted items (items that have become unusable) reaches a predetermined number (for example, 20), a new item may be made available to the player. Further, based on the total result for each attribute, a new item may be made available to the player when the most number of attributes reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10). Further, when the total of parameter values of a plurality of deleted items reaches a predetermined number, a new item may be made available to the player. For example, if the attribute information includes the level or experience value of each deleted item, when the total value (or average value) of the levels of the deleted items reaches a predetermined value, a new value is obtained. The item may be made available to the player, or the new item may be made available to the player when the total value (or average value) of the experience values of the deleted items reaches a predetermined value. Good.

In addition, a new item may be made available to the player only when the number of deleted items, the number of the largest number of attributes, or the sum of the parameter values of the items reaches a predetermined number within a predetermined period. For example, the new item may be made available to the player only when a predetermined number is reached within a certain period of time since the new item was made available last time.

  When a new item is made available to the player based on the attribute information, the attribute information and the total result are reset, and information regarding the deleted item attribute is deleted from the attribute information. That is, the player can acquire a new item determined based on the attribute of the deleted item in exchange for deleting the item. Further, the attribute information is also reset when the number of deleted items, the number of the largest number of attributes, or the sum of the parameter values of the items does not reach a predetermined number within a predetermined period.

  According to the present embodiment, in a game in which an item can be used, information regarding the attributes of a plurality of items that have been disabled by the player (erased by the player) is stored, and a new item determined according to the information is stored. It is possible to realize a mechanism that does not exist in a conventional game, in which an item can be used by a player.

  Instead of managing the attribute information for each player, the attribute information may be managed for each group (team) in which the player participates. In other words, information regarding the attribute of an item deleted by each player belonging to the same group may be accumulated for each group as attribute information. In this case, a new item determined based on the attribute information for each group is made available to at least one player belonging to the same group. Note that the items to be usable may be determined by a lottery process that is sequentially executed among players belonging to the group, or may be determined by game results of each player belonging to the group. The server accumulates in the group attribute information the attribute information of the item deleted by the player based on the operation input received from the player terminal, and the new item determined based on the group attribute information belongs to the group. Be available to at least one player. The game screen displayed on the terminal of the player displays a recycle bin common to the group to which the player belongs, and when the player inputs an operation to move the item to the recycle bin, information on the attribute of the item is displayed. Accumulated in the attribute information of the group. When the player performs an operation input for confirming the contents of the trash box, in addition to the items deleted by the player, the type or number of attribute information related to items deleted by other players belonging to the same group as the player is displayed. Is displayed.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of attribute information (item information moved to the trash box) when the attribute information is managed in units of groups. As shown in FIG. 8, the attribute information 300 includes an identification number 310 (player ID) of the player who deleted the item, an identification number 320 (item ID) of the deleted item, and an attribute (in a narrow sense) of the item. Information indicating an attribute 330, a type 340, and a rare degree 350) is stored. Here, it is assumed that players with IDs “001” to “003” belong to the same group. In the attribute information 300 of FIG. 8, the item with ID “001” and ID “002” is deleted by the player with ID “001”, the item with ID “003” is deleted by the player with ID “002”, and the ID “003” is deleted. ”Indicates that the item with ID“ 004 ”has been deleted. That is, the attribute information 300 stores information related to the attributes of items stored in the group-wide trash box.

Note that a new item may be made available to all players belonging to the group. Also, a new item may be made available in preference to the player with the largest number of deleted items. Further, a new item may be made available in preference to a player with a small number of items, a player with a long play time, or a player with good game results (player level, experience value, etc.). Also, the rareness of new items is low ("Normal")
In this case, it may be made available to all players belonging to the group, and may be made available to some players when the rareness of the new item is high (“normal”). In addition, a new item may be made available to players determined by lottery among players belonging to the group. Also when attribute information is managed for each group, a new item that can be used by the player is determined in the same manner as when attribute information is managed for each player.

  In addition, when managing attribute information in units of groups, a new item may be determined by performing a lottery with a winning probability according to the group status. For example, a new item may be determined by performing lottery with a winning probability corresponding to the number of players belonging to the same group. For example, the lottery may be performed so that the higher the number of players belonging to the same group (or the active rate of the group), the higher the probability that an item with a higher rarity will be won. This can provide a motivation to increase the number of people in the group.

  In addition, a lottery may be performed with a winning probability corresponding to the game results of each player belonging to the same group. A lottery may be performed so that the higher the game score of each player belonging to the same group, the higher the probability that an item with a higher degree of rarity will win. In this way, it is possible to give a motivation for game play to each player belonging to the group. Further, the new item attribute 220 may be determined based on the result of the attribute information tabulation, and the new item rarity may be determined based on the number of players belonging to the group and the game results of each player. .

3. Processing Next, an example of processing of the server 20 of the present embodiment will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  Further, the state changing unit 110 determines whether or not operation input information for instructing deletion of an item has been received from the terminal 10 (step S10), and when determining that it has been received (“Y” in step S10). In step S12, the designated (selected) item is changed to an unusable state. For example, the information regarding the designated item is deleted from the item information 200 for managing the items held by the player, and the designated item is changed to an unusable state. When the operation input information for instructing to delete the item is not received (“N” in step S10), the process proceeds to step S24.

  Next, the storage control unit 112 registers information related to the attribute of the item that has become unusable in addition to the attribute information stored in the storage unit 174 (step S24). The attribute information may be attribute information managed for each player or information managed for each group.

  Next, the item assigning unit 114 determines whether or not a predetermined condition for making the new item available to the player is satisfied (step S16). For example, it may be determined whether or not the game conditions satisfy a predetermined condition, and the number of items that have become unusable, the number of each item attribute, or the total of the parameter values of the items has reached a predetermined number. In this case, it may be determined that a predetermined condition is satisfied. When it is determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied (“N” in step S16), the process proceeds to step S24.

If it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied (“Y” in step S16), the number of attributes for each of the plurality of items that have become unusable based on the attribute information is summed (step S18), and the count result is obtained. Based on this, a new item that can be used by the player is determined (step S20). For example, a new item attribute may be determined by performing a lottery so that the winning probability of the attribute with the largest number is high. Further, when attribute information is managed for each group, a new item attribute may be determined by performing lottery with a winning probability corresponding to the number of players belonging to the same group and game results.

  Next, the item assigning unit 114 performs processing for making the item determined in step S20 usable by the player (step S22). For example, the determined new item is registered in the item information 200, and the new item is made usable. When managing attribute information for each group, processing is performed to make the item determined in step S20 available to at least one player belonging to the same group.

  Next, the processing unit 100 determines whether or not to continue the processing (step S24). When the processing is continued, the processing unit 100 proceeds to step S10 and repeats the processing after step S10.
