A game system according to the present disclosure is a system for providing a game to a plurality of users. Hereinafter, the game system will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to these exemplifications, but is shown by the claims, and all changes within the scope and meaning equivalent to the claims are intended to be included in the present invention. Ru. In the following description, the same components are denoted by the same reference symbols in the description of the drawings, and redundant description will not be repeated.

<Hardware Configuration of Game System 1>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration of the game system 1. The game system 1 includes a plurality of user terminals 100 and a server 200 as illustrated. Each user terminal 100 is connected to the server 200 via the network 2. The network 2 is composed of the Internet and various mobile communication systems constructed by wireless base stations (not shown). Examples of this mobile communication system include so-called 3G and 4G mobile communication systems, LTE (Long Term Evolution), and wireless networks (for example, Wi-Fi (registered trademark)) that can be connected to the Internet by a predetermined access point. Be

  The server 200 (computer, information processing apparatus) may be a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or a personal computer. The server 200 includes a processor 20, a memory 21, a storage 22, a communication IF 23, and an input / output IF 24. These configurations of the server 200 are electrically connected to each other by a communication bus.

  The user terminal 100 (computer, information processing apparatus) may be a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, a feature phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or a tablet computer. The user terminal 100 may be a game device suitable for game play. As illustrated, the user terminal 100 includes a processor 10, a memory 11, a storage 12, a communication interface (IF) 13, an input / output IF 14, a touch screen 15 (display unit), a camera 17, and a distance measuring sensor 18 And These configurations of the user terminal 100 are electrically connected to each other by a communication bus. The user terminal 100 may include an input / output IF 14 to which a display (display unit) configured separately from the main body of the user terminal 100 can be connected instead of or in addition to the touch screen 15.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may be configured to be able to communicate with one or more controllers 1020. The controller 1020 establishes communication with the user terminal 100 according to a communication standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark), for example. The controller 1020 may have one or more buttons and the like, and transmits an output value based on the user's input operation on the buttons and the like to the user terminal 100. In addition, the controller 1020 may have various sensors such as an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor, and transmits the output values of the various sensors to the user terminal 100.

  Note that, instead of, or in addition to, the user terminal 100 including the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18, the controller 1020 may include the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18.

  The user terminal 100 desirably has a user using the controller 1020 input user identification information such as the user's name or login ID via the controller 1020, for example, at the start of the game. Thereby, the user terminal 100 can associate the controller 1020 with the user, and specifies which user the output value belongs to based on the transmission source (the controller 1020) of the received output value. be able to.

  When the user terminal 100 communicates with a plurality of controllers 1020, each user holds each controller 1020, thereby preventing communication with another device such as the server 200 via the network 2, the one user terminal 100. Can realize multiplayer. Also, multiplay is realized locally by a plurality of user terminals 100 by the respective user terminals 100 communicably connecting each other according to a wireless standard such as a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) standard (a communication connection is made without passing through the server 200). You can also When the above-described multiplayer is locally realized by one user terminal 100, the user terminal 100 may further include at least a part of various functions of the server 200 described later. Further, when the above-described multiplay is realized locally by a plurality of user terminals 100, the plurality of user terminals 100 may be provided with various functions described later included in the server 200 in a distributed manner.

  The user terminal 100 may communicate with the server 200 even if the above-described multiplay is realized locally. For example, the user identification information may be transmitted to the server 200 in association with information indicating a play result such as a score or an outcome in a certain game.

  In addition, the controller 1020 may be configured to be removable from the user terminal 100. In this case, a joint with the controller 1020 may be provided on at least one of the surfaces of the housing of the user terminal 100. When the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 are connected by wire via the connection unit, the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 transmit and receive signals via the wire.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may receive attachment of a storage medium 1030 such as an external memory card via the input / output IF 14. Thereby, the user terminal 100 can read the program and data recorded in the storage medium 1030. The program recorded in the storage medium 1030 is, for example, a game program.

  The user terminal 100 may store a game program acquired by communicating with an external device such as the server 200 in the memory 11 of the user terminal 100, or the game program acquired by reading from the storage medium 1030 may be stored in the memory 11. May be stored.

  As described above, the user terminal 100 includes the communication IF 13, the input / output IF 14, the touch screen 15, the camera 17, and the distance measuring sensor 18 as an example of a mechanism for inputting information to the user terminal 100. The above-described units as an input mechanism can be regarded as an operation unit configured to receive a user's input operation.

  For example, when the operation unit is configured by at least one of the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18, the operation unit detects the object 1010 in the vicinity of the user terminal 100, and the input operation is performed from the detection result of the object Identify. As an example, the user's hand as the object 1010, a marker of a predetermined shape, etc. are detected, and the input operation is specified based on the color, shape, movement, type, etc. of the object 1010 obtained as a detection result. Ru. More specifically, when the user terminal 100 detects a user's hand from the captured image of the camera 17, the user's input operation is a gesture (a series of movements of the user's hand) detected based on the captured image. Identify and accept. The photographed image may be a still image or a moving image.

  Alternatively, when the operation unit is configured by the touch screen 15, the user terminal 100 identifies and accepts the user's operation performed on the input unit 151 of the touch screen 15 as the user's input operation. Alternatively, when the operation unit is configured by the communication IF 13, the user terminal 100 identifies and receives a signal (for example, an output value) transmitted from the controller 1020 as an input operation of the user. Alternatively, when the operation unit includes the input / output IF 14, a signal output from an input device (not shown) different from the controller 1020 connected to the input / output IF 14 is specified and accepted as the user's input operation.

<Game Outline>
The game system 1 is a system for executing a game in which one of the objects available in the game is selected and the selected object is given to the user. For example, the game system 1 may be a system for executing a game in which any of the objects usable in the game is determined by drawing and the determined object is given to the user. In addition, a lottery here is a process which determines an object based on probability distribution. In the game system 1, the process of selecting one of the objects available in the game to be given to the user is not limited to the above-described lottery process, and the easiness of selection of each object can be expressed as "probability". It is sufficient if it is a process. For example, the “selection process” described above may be a process of determining an object based on a predetermined rule. In this case, if there is an object determined at a frequency of once every five times based on the predetermined rule, the probability that the object is selected can be expressed as 20%.

  In addition, the game system 1 is a system for providing two ways of a first lottery and a second lottery as a lottery for giving one of the objects available in the game to the user. In the game, the user can also perform an input operation instructing execution of a first lottery, and can also perform an input operation instructing execution of a second lottery.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the first lottery is a lottery performed according to an operation that can be input without advancing the game. The operation that can be input without advancing the game may be, for example, an operation that instructs the user to redeem for the consumed item obtained by paying a fee. Such an operation can be input as long as the user can hold an available consumption item without advancing the game. In addition, the second lottery is a lottery performed in accordance with an operation that can be input by advancing the game. The operation that can be input by advancing the game may be, for example, an operation instructing consumption of the right item given to the user by advancing the game. Such an operation can not be input because the right item is not given unless the game is advanced.

  In the game executed by the game system 1, the user is given a right item for obtaining one or more objects that can be used to advance the game in an advantageous manner when predetermined conditions are satisfied in the game. The right items that can be granted include a right item that represents the right to carry out the second lottery. In the game system 1, information on rights items given to each user (such as the number of rights items given to the user) is managed as data for each user. The user can hold one or more such rights items. The consumption of one right item gives the user an object according to the right item.

  In the present embodiment, one right item is expressed as a capsule. For example, the capsule is given to the user according to the progress of the game and the play result. Also, an object represented as an inclusion of a capsule is given to the user by opening the capsule, and can be used by the user. The user can advantageously advance the game by opening the capsule and playing using the acquired object. Note that opening the capsule corresponds to consuming the right represented by the right item.

  Also, the rarity may be set to the capsule. However, there may be capsules in which the degree of rarity is not set. The degree of rarity represents the ease of obtaining an object of high value among objects obtainable by opening the capsule. Hereinafter, the degree of rarity set in the capsule may be described as the type of capsule. In addition, the capsule to which the rarity degree is not set is described as a kind of “no rarity degree setting”. In the present embodiment, among the capsules to which the rarity degree is set, the capsule to which the predetermined rarity degree is set corresponds to an example of the right item for performing the second lottery.

  In each embodiment, it is assumed that the game executed by the game system 1 is a puzzle game. For example, the capsule may be given to the user each time one play of the puzzle is finished. The capsule also contains various objects to advance the puzzle in an advantageous manner.

  In addition, the game system 1 may be a system for executing a game of any genre, not limited to a specific genre, as long as it is a game in which objects determined by lottery can be used in the game. For example, sports games such as tennis, table tennis, dodgeball, baseball, soccer and hockey, puzzle games, quiz games, RPG games, adventure games, shooting games, simulation games, training games, action games, etc. It is also good.

  Moreover, the game system 1 may be a system for performing the game of not only a specific play form but any play form. For example, a single play game by a single user, a multiplay game by a plurality of users, a battle game in which a plurality of users play a match among multiplay games, a cooperative play game in which a plurality of users cooperate, etc. May be

  Further, of the objects that can be used in the game, the objects that can be used in units of play, which will be described later, are each assigned a rank that represents the height of value. The rank of an object represents the degree to which the game can be advanced advantageously when the object is used. Further, each object to which a rank is set is set as any one of the first to fourth objects.

  Here, the first object is an object set as a “target of interest” among objects to which a rank equal to or higher than a threshold is set. The second object is an object that has been set as a first object in the past among objects to which a rank equal to or higher than the threshold is set. The third object is an object that has not been set as the first object among objects in which the rank equal to or higher than the threshold is set. The fourth object is an object other than the first to third objects among the objects to which the rank is set. In other words, the fourth object is an object to which a rank less than the threshold is set.

  Note that one or more first objects may be set. Further, it is preferable that the first to fourth objects be objects that do not overlap with each other.

  Further, which of the first to fourth objects each object is set may be stored in the server 200. Moreover, it is a structure which can change for every event period mentioned later as which of the 1st-4th object each object is set. Details of the above configuration will be described later.

  Note that each object available in the game may include an object whose rank is not set. Such an object may be, for example, an item that can be redeemed for various services or objects in the game. An object for which such a rank is not set may be given to the user at the time of opening the above-mentioned "capsule for which the rarity degree is not set".

<Hardware components of each device>
The processor 10 controls the overall operation of the user terminal 100. The processor 20 controls the overall operation of the server 200. The processors 10 and 20 include a central processing unit (CPU), a micro processing unit (MPU), and a graphics processing unit (GPU).

  The processor 10 reads a program from a storage 12 described later, and develops the program in a memory 11 described later. The processor 20 reads a program from a storage 22 described later, and develops the program in a memory 21 described later. The processor 10 and the processor 20 execute the expanded program.

  The memories 11 and 21 are main storage devices. The memories 11 and 21 are configured by storage devices such as ROM (Read Only Memory) and RAM (Random Access Memory). The memory 11 provides the processor 10 with a work area by temporarily storing programs and various data read from the storage 12 described later by the processor 10. The memory 11 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 10 is operating according to a program. The memory 21 provides the processor 20 with a work area by temporarily storing various programs and data read from the storage 22 described later by the processor 20. The memory 21 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 20 is operating according to a program.

  In the present embodiment, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation of the user terminal 100 and the server 200. The game realized by the collaboration between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be, for example, a game executed on a browser activated in the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation of a plurality of user terminals 100. Further, various data includes data related to a game such as user information and game information, and an instruction or notification transmitted / received between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 or between a plurality of user terminals 100.

  The storages 12 and 22 are auxiliary storage devices. The storages 12 and 22 are configured by a storage device such as a flash memory or a hard disk drive (HDD). The storage 12 and the storage 22 store various data related to the game.

  The communication IF 13 controls transmission and reception of various data in the user terminal 100. The communication IF 23 controls transmission and reception of various data in the server 200. The communication IFs 13 and 23 control communication using, for example, wireless LAN (Local Area Network), wired LAN, wireless LAN, Internet communication via a mobile telephone network, short distance wireless communication, and the like.

  The input / output IF 14 is an interface for the user terminal 100 to receive input of data, and is an interface for the user terminal 100 to output data. The input / output IF 14 may input / output data via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) or the like. The input / output IF 14 may include, for example, a physical button of the user terminal 100, a camera, a microphone, or a speaker. The input / output IF 24 of the server 200 is an interface for the server 200 to receive input of data, and is an interface for the server 200 to output data. The input / output IF 24 can include, for example, an input unit that is an information input device such as a mouse or a keyboard, and a display unit that is a device that displays and outputs an image.

  The touch screen 15 of the user terminal 100 is an electronic component in which the input unit 151 and the display unit 152 are combined. The input unit 151 is, for example, a touch sensitive device, and is configured of, for example, a touch pad. The display unit 152 is configured of, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display.

  The input unit 151 detects the position at which the user's operation (physical touch operation such as touch operation, slide operation, swipe operation, and tap operation) on the input surface is input, and inputs information indicating the position. It has a function to transmit as a signal. The input unit 151 may include a touch sensing unit (not shown). The touch sensing unit may adopt any method such as a capacitance method or a resistive film method.

  Although not shown, the user terminal 100 may include one or more sensors for specifying the holding posture of the user terminal 100. This sensor may be, for example, an acceleration sensor or an angular velocity sensor. When the user terminal 100 includes a sensor, the processor 10 can specify the holding attitude of the user terminal 100 from the output of the sensor and perform processing according to the holding attitude. For example, when the user terminal 100 is held in the vertical orientation, the processor 10 may perform vertical screen display that causes the display unit 152 to display a vertically long image. On the other hand, when the user terminal 100 is held in landscape orientation, a landscape image may be displayed on the display unit to display a horizontally long image. Thus, the processor 10 may be capable of switching between vertical screen display and horizontal screen display according to the holding attitude of the user terminal 100.

  The camera 17 includes an image sensor and the like, and converts a light incident from the lens into an electric signal to generate a photographed image.

  The distance measurement sensor 18 is a sensor that measures the distance to the measurement object. The distance measuring sensor 18 includes, for example, a light source that emits pulse converted light, and a light receiving element that receives the light. The distance measuring sensor 18 measures the distance to the measurement object based on the light emission timing from the light source and the light reception timing of the reflected light generated when the light emitted from the light source is reflected on the measurement object. The distance measuring sensor 18 may have a light source that emits light having directivity.

  Here, an example in which the user terminal 100 receives a detection result in which the object 1010 in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 is detected using the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 as an input operation of the user will be further described. The camera 17 and the distance measurement sensor 18 may be provided, for example, on the side of the housing of the user terminal 100. A distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided in the vicinity of the camera 17. For example, an infrared camera can be used as the camera 17. In this case, the camera 17 may be provided with a lighting device for emitting infrared light, a filter for blocking visible light, and the like. This makes it possible to further improve the detection accuracy of an object based on a photographed image of the camera 17 regardless of whether it is outdoors or indoors.

  The processor 10 may perform one or more of the processes shown in the following (1) to (5), for example, on the captured image of the camera 17. (1) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to specify whether the captured image includes the user's hand. The processor 10 may use, for example, a technique such as pattern matching as an analysis technique employed in the above-described image recognition process. (2) Also, the processor 10 detects the user's gesture from the shape of the user's hand. The processor 10 specifies, for example, the number of fingers of the user (the number of extending fingers) from the shape of the user's hand detected from the captured image. The processor 10 further identifies a gesture made by the user from the number of identified fingers. For example, when the number of fingers is five, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a gesture of “par”. Further, when the number of fingers is zero (the finger is not detected), the processor 10 determines that the user has made the gesture of “Go”. In addition, when the number of fingers is two, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a gesture of “Tokiki”. (3) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to detect whether the user's finger is in a state where only the forefinger is standing or whether the user's finger makes a flicking motion. . (4) The processor 10 selects an object 1010 (a user's hand or the like in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 based on an image recognition result of a captured image of the camera 17 and / or an output value of the distance measuring sensor 18). ) And the user terminal 100 are detected. For example, the processor 10 determines whether the user's hand is near the user terminal 100 (for example, a distance less than a predetermined value) or far (for example, the predetermined value) depending on the size of the user's hand specified from the captured image of the camera 17 It detects whether it is in the above distance). In addition, when the captured image is a moving image, the processor 10 may detect whether the user's hand is approaching or away from the user terminal 100. (5) If it is found that the distance between the user terminal 100 and the user's hand is changing while the user's hand is being detected based on the image recognition result of the captured image of the camera 17, etc., the processor 10 recognizes that the user shakes his hand in the shooting direction of the camera 17. If an object is detected or not detected by the distance measurement sensor 18 whose directivity is stronger than the shooting range of the camera 17, the processor 10 shakes the hand in the direction orthogonal to the shooting direction of the camera. recognize.

  As described above, the processor 10 determines whether the user holds the hand by image recognition on the captured image of the camera 17 (a gesture of “goo” or another gesture (eg, “par”)) To detect The processor 10 also detects how the user is moving this hand, as well as the shape of the user's hand. Also, the processor 10 detects whether the user is moving the hand closer to or away from the user terminal 100. Such an operation can correspond to, for example, an operation using a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch panel. For example, the user terminal 100 moves a pointer on the touch screen 15 in response to the movement of the user's hand, and detects the user's gesture "goo". In this case, the user terminal 100 recognizes that the user is continuing the selection operation. The continuation of the selection operation corresponds to, for example, the state in which the mouse is clicked and pressed down or the state in which the touch panel is touched after the touch-down operation is performed on the touch panel. In addition, when the user moves the hand further while the user terminal 100 detects the user's gesture "goo", such a series of gestures is an operation corresponding to the swipe operation (or drag operation). It can also be recognized. In addition, when the user terminal 100 detects a gesture that causes the user to repel a finger based on the detection result of the user's hand based on the captured image of the camera 17, the user clicks the gesture by tapping the mouse or tapping the touch panel. It may be recognized as an operation corresponding to

Each of the server 200 and the user terminal 100 may include a functional configuration necessary to function as a general computer (not shown) and a functional configuration necessary to realize known functions in the game.

  The user terminal 100 has a function as an input device for receiving an input operation of a user, and a function as an output device for outputting an image or a sound of a game. The user terminal 100 functions as a control unit 110 and a storage unit 120 by cooperation of the processor 10, the memory 11, the storage 12, the communication IF 13, the input / output IF 14 and the like.

  The server 200 has a function of communicating with each user terminal 100 to support the user terminal 100 to advance the game. For example, sales of valuable data, provision of services, etc. are executed. When the game is a multiplayer game, the server 200 may have a function of communicating with each user terminal 100 participating in the game to mediate the exchange between the user terminals 100. The server 200 functions as a control unit 210 and a storage unit 220 by cooperation of the processor 20, the memory 21, the storage 22, the communication IF 23, the input / output IF 24, and the like.

  The storage unit 120 and the storage unit 220 store a game program 131, game information 132 and user information 133. The game program 131 is a game program executed by the user terminal 100 and the server 200. The game information 132 is data to be referred to when the control unit 110 and the control unit 210 execute the game program 131. The user information 133 is data related to the account of the user. In the storage unit 220, the game information 132 and the user information 133 are stored for each user terminal 100.

  In addition, the storage unit 220 stores, as a part of the game information 132, information indicating which of the first to fourth objects or any other object belongs to an available object in the game.

(Functional Configuration of Server 200)
The control unit 210 centrally controls the server 200 by executing the game program 131 stored in the storage unit 220. For example, the control unit 210 transmits various data, programs, and the like to the user terminal 100. The control unit 210 receives part or all of the game information or the user information from the user terminal 100. When the game is a multiplay game, the control unit 210 may receive a request for multiplay synchronization from the user terminal 100 and transmit data for synchronization to the user terminal 100.

  The control unit 210 functions as a lottery execution unit 211 and an event execution unit 212 according to the description of the game program 131. The control unit 210 can also function as another functional block (not shown) in order to support the progress of the game on the user terminal 100, depending on the nature of the game to be executed.

  In response to a request from the user terminal 100, the lottery execution unit 211 executes a lottery for determining various objects available in the game. The lottery execution unit 211 transmits the lottery result to the user terminal 100 of the request source.

  Specifically, the lottery execution unit 211 executes the first lottery or the second lottery in response to the request from the user terminal 100, and notifies the user terminal 100 of the lottery result. Each of the first lottery and the second lottery is different in a part of objects that can be determined. Details of the first lottery and the second lottery will be described later.

  The event execution unit 212 changes objects that can be determined in the first lottery and the second lottery at a predetermined timing. The timing at which the objects that can be determined in the first lottery and the second lottery change is not necessarily limited to the configuration that is the same period. Specifically, the event execution unit 212 changes the objects set as the first object and the objects set as the second object among the objects available for use in the game, thereby the first and second lotterys are performed. Change the objects that can be determined in

  In the second lottery, a period in which the first object can be determined and a period in which the first object can not be determined are set, and the former period is referred to as an “event period”. The event period is not limited to once, and may be set repeatedly. Also, the event period may be set to start the next event period at the same time as the previous event period ends, or the period from the end of the previous event period to the start of the next event period is It may be In addition, one or more first objects in each event period may be partially or entirely different from one or more first objects in other event periods. In this case, the event execution unit 212 may delete the object set as the first object from the objects that can be determined in the second lottery at the end of the event period. Further, the event execution unit 212 may change the object set as the first object in the previous event period to be set as the second object at the start of the event period. Also, the event execution unit 212 may newly set any one of the objects available in the game as the first object at the start of the event period. Further, the object newly set as the first object at the start of the event period may be an object in a predetermined range whose time when it becomes available in the game is new.

(Functional Configuration of User Terminal 100)
The control unit 110 centrally controls the user terminal 100 by executing the game program 131 stored in the storage unit 120. For example, the control unit 110 advances the game in accordance with the game program 131 and the operation of the user. In addition, while the game is in progress, the control unit 110 communicates with the server 200 as needed to transmit and receive information.

  The control unit 110 controls the operation reception unit 111, the display control unit 112, the user interface (hereinafter, UI) control unit 113, the animation generation unit 114, the lottery unit 115, the determination unit 116, and the object management according to the description of the game program 131. It functions as the unit 117 and the game progress unit 118. The control unit 110 can also function as another functional block (not shown) to advance the game according to the nature of the game to be executed.

  The operation accepting unit 111 detects and accepts an input operation of the user on the input unit 151. The operation receiving unit 111 determines which input operation has been performed from the action exerted by the user on the console via the touch screen 15 and the other input / output IF 14, and outputs the result to each element of the control unit 110. Do.

  For example, the operation receiving unit 111 receives an input operation on the input unit 151, detects coordinates of an input position of the input operation, and specifies a type of the input operation. The operation receiving unit 111 specifies, for example, a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, and a tap operation as the type of the input operation. In addition, when the input that has been continuously detected is interrupted, the operation reception unit 111 detects that the touch input has been released from the touch screen 15.

  As a specific example, the operation receiving unit 111 receives the first operation and the second operation of the user. Here, the first operation is, for example, an operation for instructing a first lottery. The first operation is an operation that can be input without advancing the game itself. For example, the first operation may be an operation instructing exchange for a predetermined amount of consumed items associated with the user in order to carry out a first lottery. The consumption item may be an item sold for a fee. In this case, even if the user does not advance the game, the user can input the first operation as long as the user holds even the consumed items sold for a fee.

  Further, the second operation is, for example, an operation for instructing a second lottery. Also, in response to the second operation, a second lottery may be executed in exchange for the consumption of the predetermined consumption item. The second operation is an operation that can be input by advancing the game. In the present embodiment, the second operation is an operation to instruct opening of any of the capsule group held by the user. That is, the operation of instructing the opening of any of the capsule group available by playing the stage can be input by playing the stage. Then, if the capsule group held by the user includes a capsule of a predetermined rarity, which is the right to carry out the second lottery, in response to an operation instructing opening of any of the capsule group, A second lottery may be conducted. Therefore, the operation of instructing the operation of instructing the opening of any of the capsule group of the capsule group is an example of the operation of instructing the second lottery, which can be input by advancing the game. The second operation may be an operation instructing exchange for a predetermined amount of consumption items associated with the user in order to open any of the capsule groups held by the user.

  The UI control unit 113 controls a UI object to be displayed on the display unit 152 in order to construct a UI. The UI object is a tool for the user to perform input necessary for the progress of the game to the user terminal 100 or a tool for obtaining information output from the user terminal 100 during the progress of the game. The UI object is, for example, an icon, a button, a list, a menu screen, etc., although it is not limited thereto.

  The animation generation unit 114 generates animations indicating motions of various objects based on control modes of various objects. For example, an animation or the like representing a situation in which a lottery is being executed may be generated.

  The display control unit 112 outputs, to the display unit 152 of the touch screen 15, a game screen on which the processing result executed by each of the above-described elements is reflected. The display control unit 112 may display a game screen including the animation generated by the animation generation unit 114 on the display unit 152. In addition, the display control unit 112 may draw the UI object described above in a superimposed manner on the game screen.

  Hereinafter, the fact that the input operation on the input unit 151 is detected and received by the operation receiving unit 111 will also be described simply as the input operation can be received. In addition, it is also described that other functional blocks simply output various game screens to the display unit 152 by the display control unit 112.

  Further, the display control unit 112 displays information representing the first object together with the user interface object that receives the first operation. In addition, the display control unit 112 displays information representing the first object on the display unit together with the user interface object that receives the second operation.

  Thus, when the user performs the first operation or the second operation, the user can visually recognize the first object that can be obtained when the user performs the first operation, and thus the degree to which the user desires the first object is increased. . As a result, the user's expectation for obtaining the first object is increased.

  The lottery unit 115 requests the server 200 for a lottery for determining various objects available in the game. Further, the lottery unit 115 acquires the lottery result from the server 200. For example, the lottery unit 115 requests the server for the lottery in exchange for the consumption item held by the user. In addition, the lottery unit 115 may request the server to make a lottery when other conditions are satisfied in the game.

  The lottery requested by the lottery unit 115 includes a first lottery and a second lottery. Here, the first lottery corresponds to an example of a first step described in the claims, and the second lottery corresponds to an example of a second step described in the claims. The first lottery is executed when the first operation by the user is accepted, and the second lottery is executed when the second operation by the user is accepted.

  Specifically, in the first lottery, any object is selected from an object group including one or more first objects, one or more second objects, one or more third objects, and one or more fourth objects. Be done. That is, when the first lottery is performed, any one of the first to fourth objects is determined. The first lottery is performed based on the first probability table.

  In the second lottery, any object is selected from an object group including one or more first objects, one or more third objects, and one or more fourth objects. That is, when the “predetermined rarity capsule” representing the right to carry out the second lottery is opened, any one of the first, third and fourth objects appears. The second lottery is performed based on the second probability table.

  In the first probability table, the sum of the probability that each of the one or more first objects is selected, and the sum of the probability that each of the one or more first objects is selected in the second probability table equal. Also, in the first probability table, the sum of the probabilities that each of the one or more third objects is selected is greater than the sum of the probabilities that each of the one or more third objects is selected. large. Also, in the first probability table, the sum of the probability that each of one or more second objects and one or more third objects is selected, and in the second probability table, each of one or more third objects is selected It is equal to the sum of the probability of being

  Even if the user advances the game and performs the second step by performing the second operation, the first object becomes the past first object (second object) without obtaining the first object. It can not be obtained from 2 steps. In such a case, the user can obtain an opportunity to acquire the past first object from the first step by performing the first operation that can be input without advancing the game. As a result, the degree of satisfaction of the user who did not obtain the first object in the second step is improved.

  The determination unit 116 executes various determination processes necessary for the progress of the game. The determination unit 116 determines, for example, whether or not the achievement condition set in the play unit is satisfied in the play unit that can be played in the game. Here, the play unit is a unit capable of game play. Further, in this case, it is assumed that in each play unit, a predetermined condition that can be satisfied by the play of the play unit is set. Such play units may be, for example, stages or quests. Hereinafter, the above-described play unit will be simply referred to as a stage. In each stage, a clearing condition for clearing the stage is set as the achievement condition. A specific example of the stage clear conditions will be described later.

  The object management unit 117 manages various objects such as characters and accessories available to the user in the game. The object management unit 117 gives the object to the user, for example, by storing information representing an object available to the user in the storage unit 120.

  The game progress unit 118 performs various processes related to the execution of the game. For example, the game progression unit 118 interprets the content of the user's instruction indicated by the coordinates of the input position of the input operation accepted by the operation acceptance unit 111 and the type of the operation, and advances the game based on the interpretation. Do.

  In addition, the game progress unit 118 may give the above-described capsule to the user according to the play of the stage. In addition, when the user uses the first object in the game, the game progress unit 118 compares the case where the game is played using an object other than the first object during an event period in which the first object can be determined. The game may proceed in an advantageous manner.

  Specifically, when the stage is played, the game progress unit 118 selects an object to be used in the play from among the objects given to the user according to the input operation. Here, each object has a parameter, and it is assumed that the score related to the play result of the stage is calculated according to the parameter of the selected object. In this case, when the object selected for use in the play is the first object, the game progression unit 118 may raise the parameter of the first object more than usual and use it for calculating the score. . Also, assume that each object has a skill for advancing the play of the stage in an advantageous manner. In this case, when the object selected for use in the play is the first object, the game progress unit 118 determines the degree to which the play becomes advantageous when the skill of the first object is activated once. The stage may be advanced by making it larger than usual. In addition, when the object selected to be used in the play is the first object, the game progress unit 118 is a condition that can more easily achieve the condition for activating the skill of the first object. The stage may be advanced by changing to. Thereby, the user can enjoy the advantage that the game can be advanced advantageously by using the first object during a predetermined period. As described above, as the first object of “target object”, an object which is considered to be a useful object in the game is set.

  The functions of the server 200 and the user terminal 100 shown in FIG. 2 are merely an example. The server 200 may have at least a part of the functions of the user terminal 100. In addition, the user terminal 100 may have at least a part of the functions of the server 200. Furthermore, another device other than the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be used as a component of the game system 1, and the other device may execute part of the processing in the game system 1. That is, in the present embodiment, the computer that executes the game program may be any of the user terminal 100, the server 200, and other devices, or may be realized by a combination of a plurality of these devices.

<Processing flow and game screen example>
(Example of game screen)
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a stage play screen displayed on the display unit 152 of the user terminal 100 in the game based on the game system 1 of the present embodiment.

  FIG. 3A is a puzzle screen displayed by the game progress unit 118, and is an example of the above-described stage play screen. The puzzle screen is constituted by a board including a plurality of puzzle elements 501 and an ejection stand 502. The plurality of puzzle elements 501 are arranged in the board. In each puzzle element 501, any one of a plurality of types of characters is displayed. On the ejection stand 502, any of the character elements 503 can be set. When the character element 503 on the ejection platform 502 is operated, the game progress unit 118 ejects the character element 503 and causes at least a part of the plurality of puzzle elements 501 to collide, and in response to the collision, the plurality of puzzle elements Change the layout of 501. At this time, if a plurality of puzzle elements 501 in which a character of the same kind as the ejected character element 503 is displayed among the plurality of puzzle elements 501 are arranged consecutively for a predetermined number or more, the game progress unit 118 selects those puzzles The element 501 is removed from the board. Also, the game progress unit 118 calculates the play result according to the removed puzzle element 501. The play result is represented, for example, by the number (sequence number) of the puzzle elements 501 of the same type which are continuously removed.

  Here, the character element 503 that can be set on the ejection stand 502 is any of the characters held by the user. For example, the game progress part 118 may display a selection screen which can select the character element 503 to be set on the ejection stand 502 from the list 504 of the held characters. FIG. 3B is an example of the selection screen. The selection screen includes a list 504 of held characters. In this example, the list 504 includes three characters of "tier", "heart" and "luna". Here, each character described above as a specific example corresponds to any one of the first to fourth objects. The fact that the outline of the figure indicating “Tear” in the list 504 is a thick line indicates that the character is selected. The selection screen also includes a parameter display 505 for the selected character. The selection screen also includes a “set” button 506 for instructing setting of the character element 503 of the selected character on the ejection base 502.

  In this example, the parameter display 505 displays that the level is 23 and the score unit cost is 454 as parameters related to the “tier”. The level is set to an initial value (for example, 1) when the character is first given to the user. Also, the level is increased, for example, according to the cumulative score during the play by the character. Also, the level is raised, for example, when the same character as the character is given to the user. The score unit price is a unit price of the score when removed from the board in the play. The score unit price increases with upgrading. When one of the possessed capsule groups is opened to obtain a character, a new character is added to the list 504 of such a selection screen. Alternatively, if the character obtained by opening the character is an existing character, the level of the character is increased.

  As a specific example of the clearing condition of the stage shown in FIG. 3A, for example, there is a condition that the play result is calculated after the predetermined number of character elements 503 are ejected from the ejection base 502. In other words, the clear condition may be simply playing the stage regardless of the play result. Moreover, the conditions based on a play result are mentioned as another specific example of a clear condition. For example, the clear condition may be a condition that all puzzle elements 501 on the board are erased. Further, the clearing condition may be a condition that the above-mentioned score exceeds a predetermined score after the predetermined number of character elements 503 are ejected from the ejection base 502. However, the clearing conditions of the stage are not limited to these conditions, and may be conditions that can be achieved by playing the stage.

(Stage execution flow)
Subsequently, the flow of processing executed at the end of stage play will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a process flow at the end of play.

  At the start of the process shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that the game progress section 118 has already displayed the puzzle play screen shown in FIG. 3 on the user terminal 100, and the puzzle is in progress by the user's operation.

  In step S101, the determination unit 116 in the user terminal 100 determines whether one play has ended and the stage clear condition is satisfied. If the stage clear condition is satisfied, the process of step S102 is subsequently performed. If the stage clear condition is not satisfied, a screen to that effect is appropriately displayed, and the screen returns to the screen before the stage play is started.

  In step S102, the lottery unit 115 extracts one of the possessed capsule group. Here, the possessed capsule group is composed of capsules given to the user. Here, the possessed capsule group includes at least one or both of a capsule with a set rarity and a capsule without a set rarity. Further, among the capsules for which the rarity degree is set, a capsule of a predetermined rarity degree corresponds to a right item for performing the second lottery.

  FIG. 5A is a view showing an example of a possessed capsule group. In this example, there are “K1”, “K2”, and “K3” as the rarity degree of the capsule, and the rarity degree is high in this order. In addition, the capsule with the rarity degree “K1” represents a right item for performing the second lottery. In other words, when the capsule of the rarity degree “K1” is opened, it is assumed that any one of the first, third and fourth objects is determined based on the second probability table. Here, the capsule 603 represents a capsule of rarity degree “K1” as a right item for performing the second lottery. The capsules 602 a to 602 d are an example of capsules for which the degree of rarity is not set. In this example, the capsules 602 a to 602 d are expressed as bags of “currency” which is an example of an object for which a rank is not set. Details of "currency" will be described later.

  At this time, the lottery unit 115 notifies the display control unit 112 to display a screen indicating the lottery result. Further, the screen representing the lottery result may include an animation representing the state of the lottery generated by the animation generation unit 114.

  In step S103, the lottery unit 115 requests the server 200 to open the lottery capsule. Specifically, the lottery unit 115 transmits the type of the lottery capsule to the server 200.

  In step S104, the lottery execution unit 211 in the server 200 determines an object according to the notified capsule type. An object to be determined is selected based on the appearance probability from among one or more objects associated with the type. In addition, when the notified capsule is a bag of "currency", the number of the said currency is determined.

  Specifically, when the opening of the capsule having a predetermined rarity is requested, the lottery execution unit 111 performs the first lottery based on the second probability table to perform the first, third, and the third lotterys. Determine any of 4 objects as inclusion.

  In addition, when the lottery execution unit 111 requests opening of a capsule having a rarity other than a predetermined rarity, any of the first, third, and fourth objects is selected based on the probability table associated with each rarity. We decide that as an inclusion. In the probability table associated with each rare degree, the probability that each of the second objects is selected is assumed to be zero. That is, from the capsule obtained by stage play, the second object can not be obtained regardless of the rarity of the capsule. Also, depending on the degree of rarity, the probability that each of at least one of the first, third and fourth objects is selected may be set to zero. The sum of the probability that each of the first objects is selected may be higher for capsules with higher rarity. Also, the sum of the probabilities that each of the third objects is selected may be higher as the degree of rarity is higher.

  In addition, when opening of a capsule for which the rarity degree is not set is requested, the lottery execution unit 111 determines an object for which the rank is not set among objects usable in the game. The “currency” described above is an example of an object for which no rank is set. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the currency as the “object to which the rank is not set” is a different type of currency from the consumption item sold for a fee. Specifically, when opening of a capsule for which the rarity degree is not set is requested, the lottery execution unit 111 may determine the number by lottery, and may determine the determined number of currencies as the inclusion.

  In step S105, the lottery execution unit 211 notifies the user terminal 100 of the determined object.

  In step S106, the object management unit 117 gives the user the notified object as an inclusion that has appeared from the drawn capsules. At this time, the object management unit 117 notifies the display control unit 112 to display a screen indicating the result of opening the drawn capsules. The screen representing the result of opening may include an animation generated by the animation generation unit 114 to represent the state of opening.

  FIG. 5B is a view showing an example of a screen showing the result of opening the capsule. In FIG. 5B, an image 611 represents that the capsule 602d is extracted in step S102. In addition, the display of "coin 100G" represents the inclusion determined by the server 200 by opening the capsule 602d.

  In step S107, the game progress part 118 determines the number of capsules to be added to the possessed capsule group according to the play result calculated in step S101. The number may be zero. For example, when the play result of the stage does not satisfy the predetermined condition, 0 may be determined as the number of pieces to be provided. In that case, the processing of the subsequent steps S108 to S109 is omitted.

  In step S108, the game progress unit 118 determines the type of each capsule to be added to the possessed capsule group based on the set probability. Then, the game progress unit 118 sets, for each capsule, the determined type and the effective period according to the type. The process in steps S107 and S108 may be executed on the server 200 side, and information indicating each capsule added to the possessed capsule group may be notified to the user terminal 100 side.

  In step S109, the object management unit 117 adds the capsules determined by the game progression unit in step S108 to the possessed capsule group. At this time, the object management unit 117 notifies the display control unit 112 to display a screen indicating the capsule application status. For example, the screen showing the grant status includes a display capable of recognizing the type of each capsule additionally granted. Further, the screen representing the addition status may include an animation generated by the animation generation unit 114 that represents the appearance of the capsule.

  When the number of capsules determined in step S107 is added to the possessed capsule group in step S109, the capsules in the possessed capsule group may exceed the upper limit number. In this case, capsules exceeding the upper limit number are not given. As mentioned above, the capsule exceeding the upper limit number is stored or discarded as the scheduled application. The above is the execution flow of the stage based on the flowchart of FIG.

(Execution flow of each lottery)
Subsequently, the flow of the entire process in the case where execution of the first and second lottery is instructed will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an execution flow of each lottery.

  In step S201, the determination unit 116 determines which of the first operation and the second operation has been performed. If a first operation, that is, a user operation instructing a first lottery is performed, the process of step S202 is subsequently performed, and if a second operation, that is, a user operation instructing a second lottery is performed, Subsequently, the process of step S203 is performed. In addition, when neither operation is made, the determination part 116 continues the determination process in this step.

  In step S202, the lottery unit 115 executes a first lottery. The details of the processing procedure of the first lottery will be described later. When the execution process of the first lottery is completed, the process of step S201 is performed again.

  In step S203, the lottery unit 115 executes a second lottery. The details of the processing procedure of the second lottery will be described later. When the second lottery execution process is completed, the process from step S201 is performed again. The above is the execution flow of each lottery based on the flowchart of FIG.

(Execution flow of the first lottery)
Subsequently, a flow of processing when the first lottery is executed will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an execution flow of the first lottery. The process based on the flowchart of FIG. 7 corresponds to the process in step S202 of FIG.

  In step S301, the lottery unit 115 requests the server 200 to perform the first lottery process.

  In step S302, the lottery execution unit 211 included in the server 200 determines one of the first to fourth objects by lottery based on the first probability table. In the case where a plurality of first lottery processes are requested in step S301, the first to fourth objects are dealt with by repeating the lottery based on the first probability table for the requested number of times. Determine the number of objects. Next, the control unit 210 notifies the user terminal 100 of the determined object.

  In step S303, the object management unit 117 subtracts the number of consumed items that are consumed items in exchange for the first lottery and are stored in the memory 11 in association with the user.

  In step S304, the object management unit 117 of the user terminal 100 stores the object notified in step S302 in the memory 11 in association with the user. In other words, the user acquires the object. The above is the execution flow of the first lottery based on the flowchart of FIG.

(Execution flow of the second lottery)
Subsequently, the flow of processing when the second lottery is executed will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an execution flow of the second lottery. The process based on the flowchart of FIG. 8 corresponds to the process in step S203 of FIG.

  In step S401, the lottery unit 115 requests the server 200 to perform a second lottery process by opening the capsule. In the present embodiment, the possessed capsule group associated with the user is stored on the side of the user terminal 100 as in the processes shown in step S106 and step S107 in the flowchart of FIG. 4. In this case, the information indicating the possessed capsule group may be notified to the server 200 in this step and stored in the storage unit 220. In addition, the information which shows a possession capsule group may be notified to the server 200 at arbitrary timings after execution of step S106-S107 of FIG. 4 not necessarily the said step.

  In step S402, the lottery execution unit 211 included in the server 200 extracts any capsule from the above-mentioned possessed capsule group. As in the process at step S102 in FIG. 4, the capsule extraction process included in the possessed capsule group may be executed in the user terminal 100, and the determined capsule may be notified to the server 200 side.

  In step S403, the lottery execution unit 211 determines whether the capsule extracted in step S402 is a capsule for which the rarity degree is set. In other words, the lottery execution unit 211 determines whether or not the extracted capsule is a capsule (for example, the capsule 603 in FIG. 5) corresponding to the right item for performing the second lottery. If it is the capsule, the process of step S405 is subsequently executed, and if it is not the capsule, the process of step S404 is subsequently executed.

  In step S404, the lottery execution unit 211 determines whether the capsule extracted in step S402 is a capsule to which a rarity degree other than a predetermined rarity degree is set. If it is the capsule, the process of step S406 is subsequently executed, and if it is not the capsule, the process of step S407 is subsequently executed.

  In step S405, the lottery execution unit 211 determines one of the first object, the third object, and the fourth object based on the second probability table, and adds it to the lottery result.

  In step S406, the lottery execution unit 211 determines any one of the first object, the third object, and the fourth object based on the probability table associated with each rare degree, and adds it to the lottery result.

  In step S407, the lottery execution unit 211 determines the number of the currencies that are the inclusions by lottery. Then, the lottery execution unit 211 adds the determined number of currencies to the lottery result.

  In step S408, the lottery execution unit 211 determines whether the lottery end condition is satisfied. The termination condition of the lottery may be, for example, a condition that “the capsule extracted in step S402 is a capsule to which the rarity degree is set”. If the end condition is not satisfied, the process from step S402 is repeated. If the end condition is satisfied, then the process of step S409 is performed again.

  In step S409, the lottery execution unit 211 notifies the user terminal 100 of the lottery result.

  In this manner, when the capsule group includes one or more capsules set with the rarity, one or more of the first, third, and fourth objects are one or more in the whole lottery result, and 0 One or more other objects are determined. A plurality of lottery processes may be required in step S401. In this case, the lottery execution unit 211 may apply the condition that “the number of times the capsule for which the rarity degree is set is extracted in step S402 reaches the requested number of times” as the ending condition in step S408. . In addition, in step S401, there may be a case where the opening of all the possessed capsule groups is required. In this case, the lottery execution unit 211 may apply the condition that “all of the possessed capsule groups are opened” as the termination condition in step S408.

  When the condition that all the possessed capsule group is opened is applied as the termination condition of the lottery in step S408, if the possessed capsule group includes the capsule of the predetermined rarity, the second condition is satisfied. The lottery will always be held.

  In addition, when the condition that "the capsule extracted in step S402 is the capsule to which the rarity degree is set" is applied as the termination condition of the lottery, the lottery processing is ended without the second lottery being performed. there's a possibility that. However, when the retention period is set for each capsule, according to the progress of the game, it is time to configure the possessed capsule group only with the capsule for which the predetermined rarity is set and the capsule for which the rarity is not set. May occur. When such a timing occurs, the user can reliably carry out the second lottery by performing the second operation.

  In step S <b> 410, the object management unit 117 subtracts the number of consumed items that are consumed items in exchange for opening the capsule and are stored in the memory 11 in association with the user.

  In step S411, the object management unit 117 of the user terminal 100 stores the object notified in step S410, that is, each object that is the final lottery result, in the memory 11 in association with the user. In other words, the user acquires the object. The above is the execution flow of the second lottery based on the flowchart of FIG.

  In the process described in the flowchart of FIG. 4 in which an object is added after the stage is cleared, as described above with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 8, any of the first, third, and fourth objects. A configuration may be adopted in which a lottery is repeatedly performed until a capsule corresponding to an object is obtained, and one or more first, third and fourth objects and zero or more other objects are given.

(Example of screen transition in each lottery)
Subsequently, screen transition examples in the first lottery and the second lottery will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 12.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a specific example of the first probability table and the second probability table during the event period.

  In the example of FIG. 9, there are “S”, “A”, and “B” as object ranks, and it is assumed that the value is high in this order. Here, the character "bear" of the rank "S" is one of the first objects set as the target of attention during the event period. In addition, the character "bear" is assumed to be a character that has become available for the first time during the event period in the game, that is, a new character in which the available time is included in a predetermined range. That is, in this example, the new character added during the event period is set as the first object of interest.

  Also, the character "tier" having the rank "S" is one of the second objects that have been set as the first object during the past event period. In other words, the character "tier" is a new character in the past added in one of the past event periods. Also, the characters “heart”, “spade”, and “diamond” are characters of the rank “S” that have not been set as the first object of interest in the present or the past. For example, these characters “heart”, “spade” and “diamond” may be characters set as regular characters that can be used at any time in the game.

  In addition, the characters “star”, “cloud”, “sun”, and “luna” of rank “A” or “B” are an example of the fourth object whose rank is less than S.

  Here, in the first probability table and the second probability table, the sum of the probabilities of selection of the first objects is equal to 5%.

  Also, the total 15% of the probabilities that each of the third objects is selected in the second probability table is larger than the total 10% of the probabilities that each of the third objects is selected in the first probability table.

  Also, the sum of the total 5% of the probability that each of the second objects is selected in the first probability table and the total 10% of the probability that each of the third objects is selected is 15%. The total of 15% is equal to a total of 15% of the probability that each of the third objects is selected in the second probability table.

  As described above, in both the first lottery and the second lottery, the ease of obtaining the new character “bear” that is the target of attention is the same. Therefore, the user may perform the first operation to execute the first lottery if the object desired next to the "bear" or the like of interest is the "tier" or the like of the second object. In addition, the user may perform the second operation to execute the second lottery if the object desired next to the “bear” or the like of interest is the “star” or the like of the third object.

  Further, in the first lottery and the second lottery, the expected value capable of acquiring any of the characters whose rank is “S” is the same as the first object, the second object, and the third object. For this reason, the user can obtain a sense of conscientiousness, regardless of which lottery is performed in exchange for the consumed item.

  Also, when the event period ends, the second probability table is changed. Also, when the next event period starts, the first probability table and the second probability table are changed.

  Specifically, when the event period ends, the object set as the first object is deleted from the second probability table. In other words, in the second probability table, the probability that each object set as the first object is selected is set to 0. Note that the sum of the probability that each object that has been set as the first object until then is selected is added to the probability that at least one of the other objects is selected until the next event period starts. Good.

  Also, when the event period starts, an object newly set as a first object is added to the first probability table and the second probability table. Then, in the first probability table, the object set as the first object in the previous event period and each object set as the second object in the previous event period are regarded as the second object. Ru. Then, the probability that each object in the first probability table and the second probability table is set is adjusted as described with reference to FIG.

  Thus, even if a new event period starts, objects set as the first object, the second object, and the third object do not overlap with each other. Therefore, the user does not say that the desired object other than the first object is neither the second object nor the third object. Also, the second or third object desired by the user is not the first object. As a result, the user can decide which one of the first operation and the second operation to be performed without hesitation.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a screen instructing execution of a first lottery and a second lottery. As shown in FIG. 10, the first object that may be determined in each lottery may be displayed on the screen. Here, the icons 615 and 616 indicate characters corresponding to the first object. The button 617 is an example of a UI object instructing to execute the first lottery once in exchange for five consumption items available in the game. The button 618 is an example of a UI object instructing to execute the first lottery a total of six times in exchange for 25 consumption items. That is, the button 617 and the button 618 are an example of a UI object that receives the first operation.

  As described above, in the case of collectively executing a plurality of lottery, it is preferable that the cost required for one lottery is equal to or less than the cost required for a single lottery.

  The button 619 is an example of a UI object that receives an instruction to open a part or all of the possessed capsule group. As described above, if the possessed capsule group includes the capsule of the predetermined rarity, as a result of the operation on the button 619, the capsule of the predetermined rarity may be opened (ie, the second lottery may be performed) ). Thus, the button 619 is an example of a UI object that receives the second operation.

  As an example, when the user's selection operation is performed on the button 618, the screen changes to a screen shown in FIG. FIG. 11A is a diagram showing an example of a confirmation screen about execution of a total of six first lotterys. Here, the text 621 indicates the number of consumption items associated with the user at the current point in time, in other words, the number of consumption items possessed by the user. The button 622 and the button 623 are an example of a UI object for instructing the execution of the first lottery. Here, when the selection operation for the button 622 is performed, for example, the screen transitions to a screen illustrated in FIG. When the selection operation for the button 623 is performed, a plurality of first lottery is performed, and a screen illustrated in FIG. 11B is displayed. The selection operation on the button 623 corresponds to “when the user operation instructing a first lottery is performed” in the determination of step S201 in the flowchart of FIG.

  The screen shown in FIG. 11B exemplifies that the character "tier" which is the first object is acquired. When the selection operation for the button 625 is performed, the characters acquired in the subsequent first lottery are displayed on the screen. When all objects resulting from the first lottery are displayed on the screen, that is, in this example, when the sixth character is displayed on the screen, the selection operation for the button corresponding to the button 625 is performed. In this case, the screen shown in FIG. 11C is displayed.

  FIG. 11C is a diagram showing an example of a screen showing the results of the first drawing of a plurality of times. Here, the icon 626 indicates the rank of the corresponding object. In the example shown in FIG. 11C, the character "tier" is the second object, and the other characters are the fourth object. As described above, in the first lottery, the probability that the third object is determined is lower than in the second lottery. Also in the example shown in FIG. 11C, although the second object that can be determined only by the first lottery is included in the lottery result, the third object is not included in the lottery result. That is, in this example, it is assumed that the character desired by the user next to the target "bear" is the target "tea" in the past. In this case, by performing the first operation and performing the first lottery, the user is able to acquire the character desired next to the target of attention.

  Note that the display order of the objects is not limited to the order determined in each first lottery, and for example, the objects may be displayed in order from the object with the highest rank. In addition, in FIGS. 11B and 11C, a display mode in which an elegant decoration is applied to an object of high rank may be used. Also, text 628 indicates the number of remaining consumed items associated with the user. Then, when the selection operation is performed on the button 627, the screen changes to a screen shown in FIG. 10, for example. The above is the flow of screen transition in the first lottery. In addition, in the case where the selection operation for the button 617 in FIG. 10 is performed, the single lottery processing in the same manner is similarly changed by reading multiple times as one shot and reading the sixth body as the first body in the above description. Described.

  Subsequently, an example of screen transition in the second lottery will be described. When the selection operation for the button 619 in FIG. 10 is performed, the screen shown in FIG. 12A is displayed. Here, in the possessed capsule group 601 ′, the capsule 602d acquired by the user in FIG. 5B is removed from the possessed capsule group 601 shown in FIG. 5A, and the added capsule is 0. The assumed capsule group is illustrated.

  The screen illustrated in FIG. 12A includes a button 631 and a button 632. A button 631 is an example of a UI object instructing to sequentially open any of the possessed capsule groups until a capsule with a set rarity is extracted in exchange for five consumption items. If the possessed capsule group includes a capsule set to a predetermined rarity and a capsule set to a rarity other than the predetermined rarity, the predetermined capsule is determined according to the operation on the button 619 and the button 631. The rarity capsule is always opened (ie, a second lottery is performed). Therefore, the button 619 and the button 631 are an example of a UI object that receives the second operation.

  Also, the button 632 is an example of a UI object instructing to open all capsules provided to the user in exchange for 50 consumption items. If the possessed capsule group includes a capsule of a predetermined rarity, the capsule of the predetermined rarity is always opened in response to the operation on the button 632 (that is, a second lottery may be performed). Thus, the button 632 is an example of a UI object that receives the second operation.

  In the example of FIG. 12A, the possessed capsule group 601 'is configured of a capsule in which the rarity degree K1 is set and a currency bag in which the rarity degree is not set. Therefore, regardless of which of the button 631 and the button 632 is accepted, the capsule with the rarity K1 is always opened, and the second lottery is performed.

  FIG. 12B is a screen example showing that the capsule with the rarity K1 is opened as a result of the operation on either the button 631 or the button 632 in FIG. 12A being accepted.

  In the screen shown in FIG. 12B, it is illustrated that the capsule 603 in which the rarity degree “K1” is set is opened and the character “heart” which is the third object appears. Specifically, when the operation to any of the button 631 and the button 632 is accepted in FIG. 12A, the process in which any of the possessed capsule group 601 ′ is extracted by lottery and opened is the rarity “K1 It is repeated until the capsule 603 for which “is set” is extracted and opened. As a result, after the screen corresponding to FIG. 5 (B) showing the result of opening the capsule 602 which is the currency bag is displayed 0 times or more, the screen shown in FIG. 12 (B) is displayed. Then, when a selection operation is performed on the button 633, the screen changes to a screen shown in FIG. 10, for example. Then, when a selection operation is performed on the button 633, the screen changes to a screen shown in FIG. 10, for example. That is, in this example, it is assumed that the character desired by the user next to the target "bear" is "heart" which is a regular character of S rank. In this case, the user performs the second operation and executes the second lottery, thereby acquiring the character desired next to the target of attention.

  As described above, in the second lottery, the probability that the third object is determined is higher than that in the first lottery, and it is illustrated that the third object is also determined in FIG. . As described above, when the object desired by the user other than the first object is the second object, the user's satisfaction is improved by performing the first lottery, and the second object is the second object. It has been explained by a specific example that the satisfaction of the user is improved by carrying out the lottery.

  In addition, when selection operation with respect to button 633 is made, the screen which shows a lottery result which was illustrated in FIG.11 (C) may be displayed before it changes to the screen shown in FIG. The above is the flow of screen transition in the second lottery.

(Event execution flow)
Subsequently, the flow of an end process of an event in a game and a start process of a new event will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13A is a flowchart showing the flow of processing in the case where the event currently being executed is ended.

  In step S501, the event execution unit 212 determines whether to end the event being executed in the game. When the event is ended, the process of step S502 is subsequently executed. When the event is not ended, the process based on the flowchart of FIG. 13A is ended.

  In step S502, the event execution unit 212 deletes the object set as the first object so far from the second probability table.

In the above configuration, the user performs the first operation when a desired object other than the first object has been the first object in the past, and has not been the first object in the past. The second operation may be performed. As a result, an object desired by the user can be easily obtained, and the user satisfaction can be improved.
The above is the processing flow based on the flowchart of FIG.

  Next, processing for starting a new event will be described. FIG. 13 (B) is a flowchart showing the flow of the above process.

  In step S601, the event execution unit 212 determines whether to start a new event in the game. If a new event is to be started, the process of step S602 is subsequently performed. If the new event is not to be started, the process based on the flowchart of FIG. 13B is ended.

  In step S602, the event execution unit 212 sets an object available in the game as a new first object. Also, the event execution unit 212 changes the object set as the first object in the previous event period to be set as the second object. In response to this, the lottery execution unit 211 adds the probability that each new first object is selected to the first probability table and the second probability table. In addition, the lottery execution unit 211 adds, as a second object, an object that was the first object in the previous event period in the first probability table. Then, the lottery execution unit 211 adjusts the relationship between the sum of the probabilities that each of the first to third objects is selected in the first and second probability tables to be the relationship described above.

  In addition to setting the first object up to the previous time as the second object in the first probability table, the event execution unit 212 sets, as the second object, an object that has been set up as the second object up to the previous time. You do not have to change it as it is set.

  In addition, the event execution unit 212 may set, as a new first object, an object that has been set as a first object in the past in the game.

  According to the above configuration, there is a possibility that the past first object can be obtained by executing either the first step or the second step. Therefore, when the object desired by the user is the first object in the past, the object is easy to obtain, and the satisfaction of the user is improved. The above is the processing flow based on the flowchart of FIG.

  (Item 1) The game program (131) executed by the computer (user terminal 100) including the processor (10), the memory (11), and the touch screen (15) has been described. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a game program is a game program executed by a computer including a processor and a memory, and the game program allows the processor to receive a first operation by a user in a game based on the game program. In this case, among the objects available in the game, any object is selected from the group of objects including one or more first objects, one or more second objects, and one or more third objects, and the selected objects are selected. A first step (S304) of storing in a memory in association with the user, and one or more second objects including one or more first objects and one or more third objects when a second operation by the user in the game is received An object that does not contain an object Selecting one of the objects from the target group, associating the selected object with the user and storing the selected object in the memory (S411), and performing the first step, one or more of the first objects being executed The sum of the probability that each of the is selected is equal to the sum of the probabilities that each of the one or more first objects is selected when the second step is performed, and one or more when the first step is performed The sum of the probabilities that each of the one or more third objects is selected is greater when the second step is performed than the sum of the probabilities that each of the third objects of is selected.

  According to the above configuration, since the user is likely to obtain the first object in the first step and the second step as well, the desired object other than the first object is the second object or the third object The first operation or the second operation may be performed depending on whether As a result, an object desired by the user can be easily obtained, and the user satisfaction can be improved.

  (Item 2) In (Item 1), the first step and the second step may apply objects that do not overlap with each other as the first object, the second object, and the third object. As a result, since the first object, the second object, and the third object do not overlap with each other, an object desired by the user other than the first object is neither a second object nor a third object. Also, the second or third object desired by the user is not the first object. As a result, the user can decide which one of the first operation and the second operation to be performed without hesitation.

  (Item 3) In (Item 1) or (Item 2), even if the first step and the second step apply an object set as a target of interest among objects available in the game as the first object, Good. As a result, since the user is likely to obtain the first object to be focused on in the first step or the second step as well, it may be determined whether the object desired next to the target to be focused is the second object or not Depending on whether it is an object, the first operation or the second operation may be performed. As a result, even when the first object of interest can not be obtained in the first step or the second step, the degree of satisfaction of the user is improved.

  (Item 4) In any one of items (Item 1) to (Item 3), the probability that one or more second objects and one or more third objects are selected when the first step is executed. The sum may be equal to the sum of the probabilities that each of the one or more third objects is selected when the second step is performed. As a result, the user is satisfied with the same expectation value as any of the first object, the second object and the third object can be acquired regardless of which of the first operation and the second operation is performed. You can get

  (Item 5) In any one of items (Item 1) to (Item 4), the first step and the second step are set as the first object in the past among the objects available in the game as the second object. It is also possible to apply an object that has already been used, and apply an object that has not been set as the first object in the past among objects available in the game as the third object. Thereby, the user performs the first operation when the desired object other than the first object has been the first object in the past, and the second operation when the user has never been the first object in the past. You can do the operation. As a result, an object desired by the user can be easily obtained, and the user satisfaction can be improved.

  (Item 6) In (Item 5), the first step applies, as the first operation, an operation that can be input without advancing the game, and the second step proceeds the game as the second operation. You may apply the operation which can be input by. Thereby, even if the user advances the game and performs the second step by performing the second operation, the first object is the first object in the past (the second object, without obtaining the first object). And may not be obtained from the second step. In such a case, the user can obtain an opportunity to acquire the past first object from the first step by performing the first operation that can be input without advancing the game. As a result, the degree of satisfaction of the user who did not obtain the first object in the second step is improved.

  (Item 7) In (Item 5) or (Item 6), the first step and the second step may apply, as the first object, an object that has been set as the first object in the past in the game . Thereby, the past first object may be obtained by executing either the first step or the second step. Therefore, when the object desired by the user is the first object in the past, the object is easy to obtain, and the satisfaction of the user is improved.

  (Item 8) In any one of items (Item 1) to (Item 7), the first step displays information representing the first object on the display unit (152) together with the user interface object that receives the first operation. The second step may display information representing the first object on the display together with the user interface object that receives the second operation. Thus, when the user performs the first operation or the second operation, the user can visually recognize the first object that can be obtained when the user performs the first operation, and thus the degree to which the user desires the first object is increased. . As a result, the user's expectation for obtaining the first object is increased.

  (Item 9) In any one of (Item 1) to (Item 8), the game program causes the processor to further execute the step of advancing the game using an object associated with the user and associated with the memory. In the step of advancing the game, when advancing the game using the first object during a predetermined period, the game may be advanced more advantageously than when not using the first object. Thereby, the user can enjoy the advantage that the game can be advanced advantageously by using the first object during a predetermined period.
