FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the destination table. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a lottery table used in a lottery for exchanging another virtual object. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing another example of the lottery table used in the lottery for exchanging with another virtual object. In the following description, a game is used as an example of an application executed by the information processing device 3, but another application may be executed by the information processing device 3.

  In FIG. 4, a game image corresponding to the game being played on the information processing device 3 is displayed on the display unit 35 of the information processing device 3, and as an example of the game image, the player character Pc talks to the opponent character Hc. The scene is displayed. For example, in the above game, the player character Pc can act in the virtual world and have a conversation with the opponent character Hc or the like. Also, the player character Pc can use various contents in the virtual world. Here, the content in the present embodiment includes game elements and the like that the player character Pc can use in the virtual world. For example, the game elements include virtual objects and virtual characters that appear in the virtual world, and include furniture, tools, clothes, food, living things, jewelry, sounds, and the like that the player character Pc can use. Further, the game elements include those that are available in the virtual world and that function as an item that can obtain the effect or profit unique to the item for a certain period or semi-permanently by using in the virtual world. Note that the item may exist in the virtual world in the form of a virtual object or the like.

  In the present embodiment, the player character Pc can carry at least a part of virtual objects (game elements) such as furniture, tools, clothes, food, living things, jewelry, voices in the virtual world. Then, the player character Pc can perform various actions using the possessed virtual object in the virtual world. In the present embodiment, as an example of the action of the player character Pc using the virtual object, the owned virtual object can be exchanged for another virtual object.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 4, the partner character Hc is speaking to the player character Pc, "Do you want to keep your furniture?" This is to exchange the furniture owned by the player character Pc with another virtual object among the virtual objects owned by the player character Pc in response to the operation of selecting the partner character Hc as the conversation partner. It is an event brought by the character Hc. When such an event occurs, the user accepts the exchange carried out by the partner character Hc and selects unnecessary furniture from the owned furniture, thereby causing the partner character Hc to collect the furniture. it can. The owned furniture corresponds to an example of a plurality of contents owned by the user.

  When a user operation is performed to accept the exchange of furniture brought by the opponent character Hc, a list of furniture currently owned by the player character Pc is displayed on the display unit 35 of the information processing device 3. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5, when a user operation for consenting to exchange furniture is performed, the display unit 35 of the information processing device 3 shows a plurality of furniture owned by the player character Pc. The owned furniture list in which the furniture images F1 to F11 are displayed is displayed.

  Of the furniture images F1 to F11 displayed in the owned furniture list, the furniture images F2, F6, and F7 are provided with the information image I1 or I2. Here, the information image I1 or I2 displays information related to the parameters set for each piece of furniture. For example, the information image I1 or I2 is an image showing the user a rarity value, which is an example of a parameter related to furniture, and in the example shown in FIG. 5, “like” is displayed as the information image I1 and the information image I2 is displayed. "Super good" is displayed. The furniture rarity value is a parameter indicating the rarity of furniture according to the acquisition difficulty level (ease of availability) in the virtual world in which the player character Pc is acting, and the higher the rarity value, the higher the value (eg, (Numerical value 0 to 10) is set. Then, a plurality of stages are set for the rarity value of the furniture, and the information image I is displayed in an expression according to the stage. For example, in this embodiment, the furniture rarity value is divided into three levels (for example, a low rarity level with a rarity value of 0, a medium rarity level with a rarity value of 1 to 6, and a high rarity level of a rarity value of 7 to 10). Then, in the possessed furniture list, the information image I2 “super good”, which is an evaluation according to the rarity value, is added to the furniture classified into the highest rarity value step, and displayed, and the lowest rarity value step is displayed. The information image I, which is an evaluation according to the rarity value, is displayed for the furniture classified as No., and the furniture image is classified according to the rarity value for the furniture classified in the intermediate rarity value stage. The information image I1 “like” to be evaluated is added and displayed. In this way, by referring to the information image I of the owned furniture list, the user can recognize the evaluation result of the rarity degree for the furniture in the owned furniture list. As for the rarity value and the difficulty of acquisition of furniture, the user may check the specific numerical value by referring to the detailed information of the furniture. The furniture rarity value corresponds to an example of a parameter related to content, and the information image I corresponds to an example of information related to a parameter related to content.

  Further, the mark M is given to the furniture images F8 to F11 among the furniture images F1 to F11 displayed in the owned furniture list. Here, the mark M is a sign indicating that furniture is installed and used in another place in the virtual world, that is, the furniture is owned by the player character Pc but is not currently held. That is, the furniture to which the mark M is attached cannot be passed to the opponent character Hc because it is being used in the virtual world.

  By performing an operation of selecting from the furniture included in the possessed furniture list, the user can specify it as the collection target to be collected by the opponent character Hc. At this time, the user can select the collection target while referring to the rarity of the furniture by the information image I. Further, the user can remove the furniture with the mark M from the selection of the collection target. In this embodiment, it is possible to select a plurality of pieces of furniture (for example, up to 10 pieces of furniture) as collection targets to be collected by the opponent character Hc.

  When the selection of the furniture to be collected by the partner character Hc is completed, options of destinations to be exchanged by the partner character Hc are displayed on the display unit 35 of the information processing device 3. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5, when a user operation for ending the selection of furniture is performed, the opponent character Hc is displayed on the display unit 35 of the information processing device 3 with respect to the player character Pc. An image asking "Do you want to go?" Is displayed, and a destination option image B1 "To the north" and a destination option image B2 "To the south" are displayed. Then, by the user performing an operation of selecting one of the destination option images B, an event in which the opponent character Hc departs to a place corresponding to the destination option with the collected furniture is performed.

  Here, in the present embodiment, internal processing is performed in which other virtual objects for exchanging the collected furniture are determined by lottery according to a user operation of selecting the destination option image B. For example, the lottery table used in the lottery is set based on the parameters related to the furniture selected as the collection target. Here, the parameter for setting the lottery table is, for example, furniture attribute information. Specifically, the furniture in this embodiment is classified into a plurality of themes, which are examples of the attribute information. For example, the theme indicates furniture attributes (series) classified by fancy, country, sporty, cool, natural, Japanese, blue, etc. according to furniture design, color, taste and place of use. ing. Then, the furniture to be collected is classified into each theme, and the number of furniture belonging to each theme is calculated as a theme value for each theme. For example, when four pieces of furniture belonging to theme A, two pieces of furniture belonging to theme D and one piece of furniture belonging to theme G are to be collected, the theme value of theme A is 4 and the theme value of theme D is 2 , The theme value of theme G is 1. Then, of the calculated theme values, two themes having a large theme value are extracted, and destination options to be presented to the user are determined based on the destination table. The theme, which is an example of the furniture attribute information, corresponds to another example of the parameter related to the content.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the destination table describes the destination determined in correspondence with the extracted theme. For example, the destination table describes that when the extracted theme is theme A, theme B, or theme C, the north direction is determined as the destination. In addition, the destination table describes that when the extracted theme is theme D, theme E, or theme F, the south direction is determined as the destination. Further, the destination table describes that when the extracted theme is theme G, theme H, or theme I, the east direction is determined as the destination. The destination table describes that the west direction is determined as the destination when the extracted theme is not set.

  For example, as described above, when furniture whose theme value of theme A is 4, theme value of theme D is 2, and theme value of theme G is 1 is collected, the theme with a large theme value is theme A and theme. It becomes D. Therefore, when the destination table illustrated in FIG. 7 is used, the north direction corresponding to the theme A and the south direction corresponding to the theme D are determined as the destinations. Then, the destination selector image B corresponding to the determined destination is displayed on the display unit 35 of the information processing device 3. When the destination determined using the destination table is one direction, the corresponding west direction is determined as another destination without setting the theme.

  In the present embodiment, a lottery table for determining other virtual objects for exchanging the collected furniture by lottery is set corresponding to the destination. Then, when the user operation of selecting any one of the destination option images B is performed, the lottery is performed using the lottery table corresponding to the selected destination. For example, another virtual object for exchanging the recovered furniture is an item for increasing the “friendliness” between the player character Pc and another character, and the lottery table describes the lottery probability corresponding to each item. To be done. As a specific example, FIG. 8 illustrates a lottery table for the north direction, and FIG. 9 illustrates a lottery table for the south direction. When the “friendliness” between the player character Pc and the first character rises, the chances that the first character will appear in the game together with the player character Pc increase. Further, when the “goodness of Naka” ranks up, the experience value (game level) of the user who operates the player character Pc increases. The item for increasing the “friendliness” corresponds to an example of another content acquired by the lottery.

  In FIG. 8, the lottery table for the north direction describes the respective lottery probabilities for the items that increase the “friendliness” determined as the exchanged item by lottery. For example, in the north lottery table, the item “Very good donut” and the item “Very good cookie” win the above lottery with a probability of 3% each, and the item “Very good chocolate” has a probability of 4%. In the above lottery, the item "Good Donut", the item "Good cookie", and the item "Good chocolate" each win the above lottery with a 10% chance of winning, and the item "Normal Donut" and the item "Normal" It is described that the "cookie" and the item "ordinary chocolate" each win the lottery with a lottery probability of 20%.

  Here, the item “doughnut” is an item that is effective for a character related to the theme A (for example, prefers the theme A). The item “cookie” is an item effective for a character related to the theme B (for example, prefers the theme B). Then, the item “chocolate” is an item that is effective for a character related to the theme C (eg, prefers the theme C). In other words, when lottery is performed using the lottery table for the north direction, that is, when a large amount of furniture belonging to theme A, theme B, or theme C is collected and the destination option corresponding to the collection is selected, theme A is selected. , Theme B, and theme C will be won.

  Also, the item “Very good donut”, the item “Very good cookie”, and the item “Very good chocolate” are all items that have a large effect of increasing the “goodness of friendship”. The item "good donut", the item "good cookie", and the item "good chocolate" are all items that have an effect of increasing the "friendliness". The item “normal donut”, the item “normal cookie”, and the item “normal chocolate” are all items that have a small effect of increasing the “nakayoshi degree”. That is, when the lottery table for the north direction is used for the lottery, an item having a larger effect of increasing the “friendliness degree” has a lower lottery probability of winning.

  In FIG. 9, the lottery table for the south direction also describes the respective lottery probabilities for the items that increase the “friendliness degree” determined as the exchanged item by lottery. For example, in the lottery table for the south direction, the item "Very good gum" and the item "Very good candy" win the above lottery with a probability of 3% each, and the item "Very good rice cracker" has a probability of 4%. In the above lottery, the item "Good gum", the item "Good candy", and the item "Good rice cracker" win each of the above lottery with a 10% chance of winning, and the item "Normal gum", the item "Normal" It is described that "candy" and the item "ordinary rice cracker" win each of the above lottery with a lottery probability of 20%.

  Here, the item “gum” is an item that is effective for a character related to the theme D (eg, prefers the theme D). The item “candy” is an item that is effective for a character related to the theme E (for example, prefers the theme E). Then, the item “senbei” is an item that is effective for a character related to the theme F (eg, prefers the theme F). That is, when the lottery table for the south direction is used for the lottery, that is, when a large amount of furniture belonging to the theme D, the theme E, or the theme F is collected and the destination option corresponding to the collection is selected, the theme D is selected. , The theme E, and the theme F will be won.

  Also, the item “Very good gum”, the item “Very good candy”, and the item “Very good rice cracker” are all items that have a large effect of increasing the “goodness of Naka”. The item “good gum”, the item “good candy”, and the item “good rice cracker” are all items that normally have the effect of increasing the “goodness of Naka”. The item “normal gum”, the item “normal candy”, and the item “normal rice cracker” are all items that have a small effect of increasing the “nakayoshi degree”. That is, when the lottery table for the south direction is used for the lottery, an item having a greater effect of increasing the “friendliness degree” has a lower lottery probability of winning.

  In the lottery table for the east direction, like the lottery table for the north and south directions, the respective lottery probabilities are described for the items for increasing the “friendliness”. Specifically, in the lottery table for the east direction, items that are valid for a character related to theme G, theme H, or theme I are described. That is, when the lottery table for the east direction is used for the lottery, that is, when a large amount of furniture belonging to the theme G, the theme H, or the theme I is collected and the destination option corresponding to the collection is selected, the theme G is selected. , Theme H, and theme I will be won. Also, the lottery table for the east direction is set such that the more the effect of increasing the "friendliness" is, the lower the lottery probability of winning.

  Also in the lottery table for the west direction, the lottery probability is described for each item that increases the "goodness of Naka", and the lottery probability of winning the item that has a greater effect of increasing the "goodness of Naka" is set to be lower. ing. However, the theme for which the items described in the lottery table for the west direction are valid are randomly set.

  In addition, although the lottery table set corresponding to four directions has been described in the above example, the direction in which the lottery table is set may be five or more directions, or may be three or less directions. .. In addition, a plurality of lottery tables may be set for one direction, and when the direction is selected, one of the plurality of lottery tables may be selected.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the number of times of lottery for determining another virtual object for exchanging the recovered furniture is set based on the furniture-related parameter in accordance with the user operation of selecting the destination option image B. Here, the parameter for setting the number of times of lottery is, for example, the rarity value of furniture. For example, the lottery number in the lottery is set based on the collection rarity value obtained by adding the rarity value of the furniture selected as the collection target. Therefore, when the user operation to select one of the destination option images B is performed, the lottery is performed with the number of times of the lottery based on the rarity value using the lottery table based on the theme value corresponding to the selected destination. It will be. As an example, the recovery rarity value of this time is calculated by adding the rarity value of 0 to 10 set for each piece of furniture selected as the collection target, and a predetermined lottery value (a number larger than 1 is set. For example, a value obtained by dividing the recovery rarity value in 10) is set as the lottery number. The collection rarity value may be obtained by another method as well as by adding the rarity value of the furniture selected as the collection target. For example, the collection rarity value may be obtained by multiplying the rarity value of the furniture selected as the collection target, or may be the maximum value among the rarity values of the furniture selected as the collection target. Good. The collection rarity value corresponds to an example of the result of calculating the parameters related to each content.

  If the number of times of lottery is less than 1, a lottery table different from the above-mentioned lottery table set according to the direction is used. For example, the above-mentioned another lottery table is an item or virtual object different from the item for increasing the "friendliness", and typically, an item or virtual object easily obtained in the game progress can be won. It is set. Therefore, if you collect furniture with a low rarity value, it will not be exchanged for an item that increases the "goodness of Naka", so the rarity value of the furniture to be collected is important to obtain items that increase the "goodness of Naka". It becomes an element. Further, when the number of times of lottery is less than 1, the specification may be such that the lottery itself is not performed and other virtual objects are not won. In this case, the recovered furniture is simply recovered without being exchanged for another virtual object.

  When the user operation for selecting the destination option image B is performed by using the lottery table and the number of lottery set in this way, the lottery using the lottery table corresponding to the destination is the collection target. A virtual object (eg, item) to be exchanged is determined by performing a lottery based on the rarity value of furniture. That is, the lottery table used in the lottery is not automatically determined but is set based on the theme value of the furniture selected by the user as a collection target, and therefore the lottery involves the intention of the user. In addition, the lottery table used in the above lottery is not automatically determined based only on the theme value of the furniture that is the collection target, and is selected by the operation of selecting the destination after that. The user's intention also intervenes in the selection operation.

  In the present embodiment, after the lottery is performed in accordance with the user operation of selecting the destination option image B, the event in which the opponent character Hc departs to the place corresponding to the selected destination with the collected furniture is performed. Then, according to the progress of the game, the opponent character Hc goes to a place corresponding to the destination option, exchanges the collected furniture for a virtual object (item) won by the lottery, and returns to the player character Pc. That is, the user cannot acquire the virtual object (item) won in the lottery immediately after the lottery, and has to wait until the time (exchange time) until the opponent character Hc returns is passed. is there. For example, the exchange time until the partner character Hc returns to the place corresponding to the selected destination after returning to the place is set to 3 hours. Therefore, the user collects the furniture by the opponent character Hc, and then obtains a virtual object (item) that has been won in the lottery for the collection, with other events depending on the progress of the game. As an example, when a regular event in the progress of the game (for example, an event in which the setting of the virtual world is changed and renewed) is performed at a period of the exchange time or less, the opponent character Hc collects the furniture, and then the lottery by the collection is performed. The regular event will always occur before the virtual object (item) won by is obtained.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned lottery, another lottery (extra lottery) for determining another virtual object for exchanging the collected furniture may be performed. For example, the bonus lottery is performed when the cumulative value (total rarity value) of the recovery rarity values calculated in the lottery performed according to the collection of the furniture reaches a predetermined value. For example, in the bonus lottery, a lottery table different from the above-mentioned lottery table is used. For example, the lottery table used in the bonus lottery is an almighty item that raises the "friendliness degree" for all themes, an item that randomly sets the theme that raises the "friendliness degree", and at the moment the virtual world The lottery probability is described for each new character that has not appeared. When an item that increases the “friendliness degree” is won in the bonus lottery, when the opponent character Hc returns to the player character Pc after the furniture is exchanged, it is given to the player character Pc in a form added to other items. .. When a new character is won in the bonus lottery, the new character appears in the virtual world at a predetermined timing after the event in which the opponent character Hc returns to the player character Pc after the furniture exchange. The total rarity value is reset each time the bonus lottery is performed. Further, the total rarity value corresponds to an example of the parameters cumulatively stored in the storage means.

  As described above, according to the above-described game example, at least one piece of furniture is selected from the plurality of pieces of furniture owned by the player character Pc as a collection target according to the user operation, and the theme value and the rarity value related to the collection target are set. A lottery method (lottery table, number of times of lottery) for acquiring the item is determined based on the item, and the collection target is exchanged for the item by the lottery by the lottery method. Therefore, the furniture owned by the player character Pc can be exchanged for another virtual object by a lottery method according to the parameter of the furniture, so that the interest in handling the furniture owned by the user can be improved. it can. In addition, the player character Pc can create desired furniture in the game, be transferred from another character, can be randomly acquired by another lottery process in the game, and can be acquired by various methods. be able to. Therefore, the user may unintentionally acquire the same furniture or acquire furniture that is unnecessary for the user. In this way, when the user owns furniture that is unnecessary for the user, it is considered that a request for exchanging the virtual object with another virtual object may occur. However, the above-described exchange system can also improve the user's satisfaction.

  In the example described above, the furniture owned by the player character Pc is exchanged for an item, but other game elements may be collected, or may be exchanged for another game element. Needless to say. In addition to the furniture owned by the player character Pc, other game elements may be collection targets, and other game elements may be exchanged for other game elements. For example, virtual objects such as clothes and tools owned by the player character Pc may be targets for collection. Further, the other game element to be exchanged may be one which can obtain another effect or benefit different from the “goodness”, or a simple virtual object which does not produce any effect or benefit. .. Further, the exchange processing can be applied to content other than the game content, and can be used, for example, for processing when exchanging the information content owned by the user with another information content.

  Next, details of the processing performed in the information processing device 3 will be described. First, with reference to FIG. 10, main data used in the processing performed in the information processing device 3 will be described. Note that FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of main data and programs stored in the storage unit 32 of the information processing device 3.

Further, in the program storage area of the storage unit 32, various program groups Pa forming a communication program and an information processing program (game program) are stored.

  The operation data Da is data indicating operation information on the operation of the information processing device 3 by the user. For example, the operation data indicating that the input unit 34 has been operated is acquired for each time unit (for example, 1/60 seconds) processed by the information processing device 3, and is stored in the operation data Da according to the acquisition and updated. To be done.

  The transmission data Db is data registered as data to be transmitted to the server 200. The reception data Dc is data received from the server 200.

  The owned content data Dd is data indicating the content (virtual object, item, etc.) owned by the player character Pc, and is furniture data Dd1, rarity value data Dd2, theme data Dd3, use place data Dd4, and item data Dd5. Etc. are included. The furniture data Dd1 is data indicating the type of each furniture, which is an example of a virtual object owned by the player character Pc. The rarity value data Dd2 is data indicating a rarity value set for each piece of furniture owned by the player character Pc. The theme data Dd3 is data indicating a theme, which is an example of attribute information for each piece of furniture owned by the player character Pc. The usage place data Dd4 is data indicating a usage place when furniture owned by the player character Pc is installed and used. The item data Dd5 is data indicating the type of each item owned by the player character Pc.

  The collection target data De is data indicating a virtual object (for example, furniture) selected by the user as a collection target. The collection rarity value data Df is data indicating a collection rarity value obtained by adding the rarity value of the virtual object selected as the collection target. The lottery number data Dg is data indicating the number of lottery calculations calculated using the collection rarity value.

  The theme value data Dh is data indicating the number of virtual objects (theme value) that classify the virtual objects selected as collection targets into each theme and belong to each theme.

  The exchange time data Dn is data indicating the exchange time from the time when the virtual object is collected until the event of acquiring the item for which the virtual object is exchanged is performed.

  The destination table data Dp is data indicating a destination table in which the destination determined in correspondence with the extracted theme is described.

  The image data Dq is data for displaying a game image (for example, a character image, a virtual object image, a field image, a background image, etc.) on the display unit 35 of the information processing device 3 during a game.

  Next, details of the processing performed in the information processing device 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13. Note that FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in the information processing device 3. FIG. 12 is a subroutine showing an example of the first half of the detailed processing of the furniture exchange processing in step S107 of FIG. FIG. 13 is a subroutine showing an example of the latter half of the detailed processing of the furniture exchange processing in step S107 of FIG. Here, in the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, among the processes in the information processing system 1, as an example, a game process of exchanging furniture owned by the player character Pc for an item is mainly described, and these processes are performed. Detailed description of other processing that is not directly related to is omitted. In addition, in FIGS. 11 to 13, each step executed by the control unit 31 is abbreviated as “S”.

  In the present embodiment, the series of processes shown in FIGS. 11 to 13 is performed by the control unit 31 (CPU) executing a communication program or a game program stored in the program storage unit 33. The timing at which the processes shown in FIGS. 11 to 13 are started is arbitrary. At this time, a part or all of the communication program and the game program are read into the storage unit 32 at an appropriate timing and executed by the control unit 31. As a result, a series of processes shown in FIGS. 11 to 13 is started. The communication program and the game program are pre-stored in the program storage unit 33. However, in another embodiment, it may be acquired from a storage medium that is detachable from the information processing device 3 and stored in the storage unit 32, or acquired from another device via a network such as the Internet and the storage unit. 32 may be stored.

  Further, the processing of each step in the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 11 to 13 is merely an example, and the processing order of each step may be changed or the processing of each step may be changed as long as the same result is obtained. In addition and / or instead, another process may be performed. Further, in the present embodiment, the processing of each step of the flowchart is described as being executed by the control unit 31, but the processing of some or all of the steps in the flowchart may be performed by a processor other than the CPU of the control unit 31. It may be executed by a dedicated circuit.

  In FIG. 11, the control unit 31 performs initial setting (step S101) and advances the process to the next step. For example, the control unit 31 initializes each parameter used for the subsequent processing. Further, the control unit 31 initializes the possessed content data Dd based on the content such as the virtual object or item currently owned by the player character Pc.

  Next, the control unit 31 acquires the operation data from the input unit 34 and updates the operation data Da (step S102), and advances the processing to the next step.

  Next, the control unit 31 performs communication processing (step S103) and advances the processing to the next step. For example, the control unit 31 transmits the transmission data stored in the transmission data Db to the server 200 via the network 100. The control unit 31 receives data from the server 200 via the network 100 and updates the received data Dc using the received data. As an example, when playing a game with another information processing device 3 or when playing the game only by itself, the control unit 31 sends data for advancing the game to the server 200 in step S103. Send and receive as appropriate.

  Next, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the player character Pc newly acquires furniture (step S104). Then, when the player character Pc newly acquires furniture, the control unit 31 advances the process to step S105. On the other hand, when the player character Pc does not newly acquire furniture, the control unit 31 advances the processing to step S106. For example, the control unit 31 refers to the operation data Da and makes a positive determination in step S104 when the player character Pc is performing a new user operation for acquiring furniture. Here, the user operation in which the player character Pc newly acquires furniture is an event in which the player character Pc creates new furniture, an event in which the player character Pc acquires new furniture at random, or a new event from another character. The user operation for performing an event for acquiring furniture is shown in FIG.

  In step S105, the control unit 31 performs a process of newly acquiring furniture, and advances the process to step S106. For example, the control unit 31 sets furniture newly acquired by the player character Pc according to the event being performed, and sets each data (furniture data Dd1, rarity value data Dd2, theme data Dd3, use place data) related to the furniture. (Dd4, etc.) is set and new owned content data Dd is added. When the player character Pc owns the newly acquired furniture, the player character Pc itself is set as the use place data Dd4, and when the newly acquired furniture is arranged in the virtual world, the arranged virtual world is set. The location is set as the use location data Dd4. Then, the control unit 31 sets a game image informing that the furniture has been newly acquired, and displays the game image in the display control process in step S113 described later.

  Next, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the furniture owned by the player character Pc is exchanged for an item (step S106). Then, when exchanging furniture owned by the player character Pc for an item, the control unit 31 advances the process to step S107. On the other hand, when the furniture owned by the player character Pc is not exchanged for the item, the control unit 31 advances the process to step S108. For example, the control unit 31 refers to the operation data Da, and when a user operation of exchanging furniture owned by the player character Pc for an item is performed and an event of exchanging the furniture for the item is performed, A positive determination is made in step S106. Here, the user operation of exchanging the furniture owned by the player character Pc for an item means that the partner character Hc indicates that the furniture owned by the player character Pc is exchanged for another virtual object, as described above. This shows a user operation or the like indicating that the exchange has been approved in an event to be brought.

  In step S107, the control unit 31 performs furniture exchange processing, and advances the processing to step S108. The furniture exchange process performed in step S107 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13.

  In FIG. 12, the control unit 31 determines whether to display the possession list (step S121). Then, when displaying the possession list, the control unit 31 advances the process to step S122. On the other hand, when the possession list is not displayed, the control unit 31 advances the process to step S123. For example, if the current time is a period for allowing the user to select a collection target to be collected by the opponent character Hc after the exchange consent, the control unit 31 makes an affirmative determination in step S121.

  In step S122, the control unit 31 generates an image showing the possession list, and advances the processing to step S123. For example, the control unit 31 forms an ownership list screen in which a display area for displaying “having furniture” as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed, and based on the owned content data Dd, the player character Pc is An image of the owned furniture is arranged in the display area to generate an ownership list image, and the image is displayed in the display control process in step S113 described later. For each piece of furniture in the ownership list image, an information image I (see FIG. 5) is added based on the rarity value data Dd2 set for the furniture to generate an ownership list image, which is set in the furniture. A mark M (see FIG. 5) is added based on the used place data Dd4 to generate a possession list image.

  In step S123, the control unit 31 determines whether the collection target is selected. Then, when the collection target is selected, the control unit 31 advances the processing to step S124. On the other hand, when the collection target is not selected, the control unit 31 advances the processing to step S125. For example, the control unit 31 refers to the operation data Da and makes an affirmative determination in step S123, when an operation of selecting one of the furniture items displayed in the possession list as a collection target is performed.

  In step S124, the control unit 31 performs a recovery process, and advances the process to step S125. For example, the control unit 31 performs a collection process in which the image of the furniture selected as the collection target is deleted from the possession list image, and the furniture is held by the opponent character Hc and collected. Then, the control unit 31 deletes the data corresponding to the furniture to be collected from the owned content data Dd, and adds the data corresponding to the furniture to be collected to the collection target data De. Note that the content selection means performs a process of selecting at least one content out of a plurality of contents owned by the user in response to a user's operation, and as an example, the control unit 31 performing the processes of steps S123 and S124. Equivalent to.

  In step S125, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the selection of the collection target is completed. Then, when the selection of the collection target is completed, the control unit 31 advances the process to step S126. On the other hand, when the selection of the collection target is not completed, the control unit 31 advances the process to step S131 (see FIG. 13). For example, the control unit 31 refers to the operation data Da, and when the operation of ending the selection of the collection target from the possession list is performed, the control unit 31 makes an affirmative determination in step S125.

  In step S126, the control unit 31 calculates the recovery rarity value and advances the processing to the next step. For example, the control unit 31 refers to the rarity value data Dd2 for each piece of furniture added to the collection target data De, calculates the collection rarity value obtained by adding all the rarity values for the piece of furniture, and uses the collection rarity value. Then, the collection rarity value data Df is updated.

  Next, the control unit 31 determines the number of times of lottery based on the recovery rarity value calculated in step S126 (step S127), and advances the processing to the next step. For example, the control unit 31 calculates a value obtained by dividing the collection rarity value calculated in step S126 by a predetermined lottery value (a number larger than 1, for example, 10) as the lottery count, and uses the lottery count. The lottery count data Dg is updated.

  Next, the control unit 31 calculates a theme value for the collection target (step S128) and advances the processing to the next step. For example, the control unit 31 refers to the theme data Dd3 for each piece of furniture added to the collection target data De, calculates the number of pieces of furniture belonging to each theme as a theme value for each theme, and uses the theme value to set the theme. The value data Dh is updated.

  Next, the control unit 31 sets a destination option based on the theme value calculated in step S128 (step S129), and advances the process to step S131 (see FIG. 13). For example, the control unit 31 extracts two themes having a large theme value from the theme values calculated in step S128. Next, the control unit 31 refers to the destination table data Dp, sets destination options (directions) corresponding to the two extracted themes based on the destination table (see FIG. 7), and sets the destination options set. Is used to update the destination option data Di. Then, the control unit 31 displays the destination option image B (see FIG. 6) showing the set destination options in the display control process in step S113 described later. Note that when the destination option set using the destination table is one (one direction), the control unit 31 changes the direction (westward in the example of FIG. 7) corresponding to no theme setting to another. Set as a destination option.

  Proceeding to FIG. 13, in step S131, the control unit 31 determines whether any of the destination options has been selected by the user. Then, when any of the destination options is selected, the control unit 31 advances the process to step S132. On the other hand, if any of the destination options is not selected, the control unit 31 ends the processing of this subroutine. For example, when the operation of selecting any destination option from the displayed destination options is performed with reference to the operation data Da, the control unit 31 makes a positive determination in step S131.

  In step S132, the control unit 31 sets the lottery table used for the lottery, and advances the processing to the next step. For example, the control unit 31 selects a lottery table corresponding to the destination option selected by the user in step S131 from the plurality of lottery tables (see FIGS. 8 and 9) set in the lottery table data Dj. Then, it is set as a lottery table used for lottery described later. When the number of times of lottery determined in step S127 is less than 1, the control unit 31 raises a lottery table different from the lottery table set according to the destination option (for example, “Nakayoshi degree”). Set up a lottery table) where items are not won.

  Next, the control unit 31 performs a lottery process (step S133) and advances the process to the next step. For example, the control unit 31 uses the lottery table set in step S132 to perform the lottery to determine the items to be exchanged with the collection target for the number of lottery times determined in step S127. Then, the control unit 31 updates the acquired item data Dk using at least one item won in the lottery. In addition, when the number of times of lottery determined in step S127 is less than 1, the control unit 31 performs one lottery using the another lottery table.

  Next, the control unit 31 calculates the total rarity value (step S134) and advances the processing to the next step. For example, the control unit 31 refers to the recovery rarity value data Df and the total rarity value data Dm, adds the recovery rarity value collected this time to the current total rarity value, and calculates a new total rarity value. The total rarity value data Dm is updated using the new total rarity value. It should be noted that the storage control unit performs a process of cumulatively storing the parameter used to acquire another content in the storage unit, and as an example, the control unit 31 performing the process of step S134 and the total rarity value. It corresponds to the data Dm.

  Next, the control unit 31 resets the recovery rarity value (step S135) and advances the processing to the next step. For example, the control unit 31 resets the recovery rarity value to 0, and updates the recovery rarity value data Df using the reset recovery rarity value. The lottery method determination means performs a process of determining a lottery method for acquiring the content based on a parameter related to the selected content, and as an example, a control unit that performs the processes of steps S125-S135. Corresponds to 31.

  Next, the control unit 31 determines whether or not to carry out a bonus lottery (step S136). Then, when performing the bonus lottery, the control unit 31 advances the process to step S137. On the other hand, when the bonus lottery is not performed, the control unit 31 advances the process to step S139. For example, when the total rarity value calculated in step S134 reaches a predetermined value, the control unit 31 makes an affirmative decision in step S136.

  In step S137, the control unit 31 performs the bonus lottery process and advances the process to the next step. For example, the control unit 31 uses the lottery table for bonus lottery set in the lottery table data Dj to perform the lottery a predetermined number of times (for example, once). Then, the control unit 31 adds the item won in the bonus lottery and updates the acquired item data Dk. In addition, even when a virtual object or character other than an item is won in the bonus lottery, the control unit 31 adds data indicating the selected virtual object or character to the acquired item data Dk.

  Next, the control unit 31 resets the total rarity value (step S138) and advances the process to step S139. For example, the control unit 31 resets the total rarity value to 0, and updates the total rarity value data Dm using the reset total rarity value. The additional content acquisition means performs processing of additionally acquiring another content using another lottery method, and corresponds to the control unit 31 that performs the processing of steps S136 to S138 as an example.

  In step S139, the control unit 31 ends the event of exchanging furniture for items by performing an event in which the opponent character Hc leaves the object to be collected and travels to a place corresponding to the destination selected by the user, and ends the subroutine. Ends the process. For example, the control unit 31 starts counting the exchange time until the traveling partner character Hc returns, and starts the process of updating the exchange time indicated by the exchange time data Dn as needed. Further, the control unit 31 sets an event in which the opponent character Hc departs, and displays a game image corresponding to the event in the display control process in step S113 described later.

  Returning to FIG. 11, in step S108, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the exchange time, which has been started to be counted in step S139, reaches the time (for example, 3 hours) until the departing partner character Hc returns. To determine. Then, when the time until the replacement time comes back is reached, the control unit 31 advances the processing to step S109. On the other hand, if the time until the replacement time comes back is not reached, the control unit 31 advances the processing to step S111.

  In step S109, the control unit 31 determines whether the player character Pc acquires an item from the opponent character Hc. Then, when the player character Pc acquires the item from the opponent character Hc, the control unit 31 advances the process to step S110. On the other hand, when the player character Pc does not acquire the item from the opponent character Hc, the control unit 31 advances the process to step S111.

  In step S110, the control unit 31 performs an item acquisition process in which the player character Pc acquires an item from the opponent character Hc, and advances the process to step S111. For example, the control unit 31 refers to the acquired item data Dk, sets an item to be acquired from the partner character Hc, sets an event for the player character Pc to receive the item from the partner character Hc, and in step S113 described later. In the display control process, the game image corresponding to the event is displayed. The control unit 31 also adds the data of the item indicated by the acquired item data Dk to the item data Dd5 of the owned content data Dd, and deletes the data from the acquired item data Dk. When a new character is set in the acquired item data Dk in the bonus lottery, the control unit 31 sets the new character to appear in the virtual world at a predetermined timing. Further, the control unit 31 stops counting the exchange time and resets the exchange time indicated by the exchange time data Dn to zero. The content acquisition unit performs a process of acquiring another content by using the determined lottery method, and corresponds to the control unit 31 that performs the processes of steps S108 to S110 as an example.

  In step S111, the control unit 31 determines whether to perform another event. Then, if another event is to be performed, the control unit 31 advances the process to step S112. On the other hand, when the other event is not performed, the control unit 31 advances the process to step S113. For example, the control unit 31 makes a negative determination in step S111 when another event such as the furniture acquisition event, the furniture exchange event, the item acquisition event, and the event performed in step S112 described below is performed. ..

  In step S112, the control unit 31 performs event processing, and advances the processing to step S113. As an example, when it is time to execute a regular event based on a preset event progress schedule, the control unit 31 sets the regular event and sets it to the event in the display control process in step S113 described later. Display the corresponding game image. As another example, the control unit 31 refers to the operation data Da, and when the user performs an operation of performing a predetermined event (for example, an operation of operating the player character Pc or an operation of talking with another character), An event corresponding to the operation is set, and the game image corresponding to the event is displayed in the display control process in step S113 described later.

  In step S113, the control unit 31 performs a display control process of generating a display image and displaying the display image on the display unit 35, and advances the process to the next step. For example, when an event or an image is set in the above process, the control unit 31 performs a process of constructing a virtual world according to the event or the image and displaying an image showing the virtual world on the display unit 35. .. The control unit 31 also performs a process of generating a display image according to the processing result in each step described above and displaying the display image on the display unit 35. It should be noted that the display control means performs a process of causing the display means to display each of the plurality of contents owned by the user and the information related to the parameters related to the content when the content is selected. Corresponds to the control unit 31 that performs the processes of steps S113 and S122.

  Next, the control unit 31 determines whether to end the game processing (step S114). The conditions for ending the game process include, for example, the condition for ending the game process being satisfied, the user performing an operation for ending the game process, and the like. When the game process is not ended, the control unit 31 returns to step S102 and repeats the process, and when the game process is ended, the process according to the flowchart is ended.

  As described above, according to the information processing system 1 that performs the above-described game process, the furniture that is an example of the game content owned by the user is exchanged for an item that is an example of another game content by a lottery method according to the parameter of the furniture. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest in handling the content owned by the user. Further, the lottery table used for the lottery when exchanging the game content owned by the user with another game content is not automatically determined based on only the game content to be collected, and thereafter, Since the selection is performed by the user selection operation, the user's intention can be intervened in the lottery in the collection target selection operation and the lottery table selection operation. Further, in the above-mentioned lottery, the lottery table is set based on the first parameter (theme value) of the game content selected by the user as the collection target, and the number of lottery times is set based on the second parameter (rareness value) of the game content. Since it is set, another game content can be exchanged by a new lottery method.

  Although the game process using the above-described information processing system 1 includes the communication process between the information processing device 3 and the server 200, the information processing device 3 alone does not connect to the server 200 to perform the game. It does not matter if it is processed. In particular, the process of exchanging the game content owned by the user for another game content can be executed without the intervention of the server 200, and therefore can be realized only by the internal process of the information processing device 3. Even in the case of playing a game in which a plurality of information processing devices 3 participate, the above-described game processing may be realized by communicating with the information processing devices 3 and other devices without going through the server 200. Further, the server 200 may execute a part of the process of exchanging the game content owned by the user for another game content. Thereby, the processes in the plurality of information processing devices 3 can be centrally managed in the server 200. For example, when the server 200 executes the process of determining the lottery table and the process of determining the number of times of lottery, it is possible to set the lottery method based on the processing status of the other information processing device 3, the execution time, and the like. ..

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the lottery is performed when the game content owned by the user is collected, the opponent character Hc once leaves with the game content collected after the lottery, and the predetermined exchange time is set. After the lapse of time, the opponent character Hc returns to the player character Pc and can receive another game content after the exchange. It should be noted that the exchange time may be a time at which timing is started from any reference timing as long as the game content to be collected is selected by the user. Further, the time required for the exchange until the opponent character Hc once departs and returns may be a fixed time, or may be changed according to the number, type, parameters, etc. of the game contents to be collected. Good. As an example, it is conceivable to set the time required for the above exchange to be longer as the number of game contents to be collected increases. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the lottery process is performed when collecting the game content owned by the user, but until the player character Pc receives another game content exchanged after the game content is collected. The lottery process may be performed at any timing within the period. There may be a time lag between the determination of the lottery method and the execution of the lottery, and the lottery may be performed immediately before the player character Pc receives another exchanged game content.

  Further, in the above description, the example in which the information processing and the communication process are performed by the information processing device 3 is used, but at least a part of the processing steps in the above process may be performed by another device. For example, even if the server 200 that can communicate with the information processing device 3 and another device (for example, another server, another game device, another mobile terminal) cooperate with each other to execute the processing steps in the above process. Good. In this way, by performing at least a part of the processing steps in the above processing by the server 200 or another device, the same processing as the above processing can be performed. In addition, the above-described processing can be executed by one processor included in an information processing system including at least one information processing device or by cooperation between a plurality of processors. Further, in the above embodiment, the processing according to the above-described flowchart is performed by the control unit 31 of the information processing device 3 executing a predetermined program. Part or all may be performed.

  Here, according to the modified example described above, the present invention can be realized in a so-called cloud computing system form or a distributed wide area network and local network system form. For example, in a distributed local network system configuration, the above-described processing is executed in cooperation between a stationary information processing device (stationary game device) and a portable information processing device (mobile game device). It is also possible to do. In these system configurations, it is needless to say that the device that performs the process of each step of the above-described process is not particularly limited, and the present invention can be realized regardless of the process sharing.

  Further, needless to say, the present embodiment can be realized even if the processing order, the set value, the condition used for the determination, and the like used in the above-described information processing are merely examples and other orders, values, and conditions are used.

  Further, the above programs may be supplied to the information processing device 3 not only through an external storage medium such as an external memory, but also through a wired or wireless communication line. Further, the program may be recorded in advance in a non-volatile storage device inside the information processing device 3. As the information storage medium for storing the above-mentioned program, in addition to the non-volatile memory, a CD-ROM, a DVD, or similar optical disc-shaped storage medium, a flexible disk, a hard disk, a magneto-optical disk, a magnetic tape, etc. But it's okay. The information storage medium that stores the program may be a volatile memory that stores the program. Such a storage medium can be referred to as a computer-readable recording medium. For example, the various functions described above can be provided by causing a computer or the like to read and execute the programs of these recording media.
