<<About information processing system for games>>
First, an information processing system for games (hereinafter, referred to as a game system S) including the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of the game system S.

The game system S is constructed for a player to play a game, and uses a communication network such as the Internet and mobile communication work.
The game is a game that the player can play by operating the information processing terminal. In the present embodiment, the game is an online game that uses data communication. it can. However, the type of game is not particularly limited, and may be an offline game that does not require data communication or may be a game without a character, and the game may be, for example, a Web browser or It may include a social game or the like that can be used only with an SNS (Social Networking Service) account.

Further, an event is held in the game, and the player can play the held event. An event is also called a “quest” and is an event in the game in which achievement conditions are set, and for example, it corresponds to challenging a stage prepared for the event. In this case, as the achievement condition of the event, it is possible to clear the above stage, or to reach the prescribed number of stage clears.

Further, in the present embodiment, one player can play the event independently, and a plurality of players can play the event jointly. That is, the game according to the present embodiment is a co-play compatible type game (so-called multi-play game) in which a plurality of players can operate each terminal to play the same event jointly and simultaneously.

The joint play can be realized by a known communication technique. Specifically, when one player (hereinafter, also referred to as a recruiting player) recruits participants for the event and another player (hereinafter, also referred to as a joint player) applies for participation in the event, A communication path for group play is established, and thereafter various data required for group play are transmitted and received according to a known communication method. The communication method at this time may be a client-server method via a server or a P2P (peer-to-peer) method not via a server.

By the way, in the present embodiment, a player who is in the vicinity of the position of the recruiting player and a player registered as a friend of the recruiting player (cooperator in the game) participate in the event as a joint player and collaborate with the recruiting player. You can play the event at. However, the qualification of the joint player is not particularly limited and can be arbitrarily set.

Further, in this embodiment, the events are classified according to the system.
The “system” is a concept for classifying events according to a predetermined rule, and a plurality of them are set. The number of lines is not particularly limited, but is preferably three or more, for example. In the following, a case where the number of lines is 6 will be described as an example, and each of the six lines will be referred to as line A. , B, C, D, E, F.

The number of events (the number of stages) classified into each system, the achievement condition, the difficulty (level), and the like may be the same between the systems, or may be different between the systems. Further, the content of the event may be determined in association with the system, and for example, when there are a plurality of events classified into the system A, these events may be common in terms of content. On the contrary, the content of the event may be determined independently of the system.

Further, when the player plays an event and satisfies the achievement condition of the event, points (hereinafter, also referred to as event achievement points) are given to the player as a reward. Points for event achievement can be accumulated (accumulated), and will be increased with each new addition.

Further, in the present embodiment, the point of achieving an event is associated with the system of the event. That is, the points for achieving the event are associated with the system of the event that triggered the point, and are accumulated for each system.

Furthermore, when the accumulated points for achieving the event satisfy a predetermined condition (hereinafter referred to as a privilege grant condition), the privilege is awarded to the player who satisfies the condition. Here, the privilege is an item and a character that can be used in the game (hereinafter referred to as an item, etc.), or a value that can be exchanged with the item (for example, virtual currency that can be used in the game, or a lottery for the item, etc. in the game). Items required for implementation, etc.). Further, an effect that can be temporarily enjoyed during the progress of the game (for example, an effect of increasing the status value of the character) may be given as a privilege.

The privilege granting condition may be, for example, that the number of event achievement points accumulated so far (hereinafter, accumulated points) reaches a condition value. Further, in the present embodiment, the privilege giving condition is set for each system, and when the cumulative points of a certain system satisfy the privilege giving condition of the system, the privilege is given to the player who satisfies the condition. That is, in the present embodiment, the success or failure of the privilege granting condition is determined for each system, and the privilege is granted for each system for the system satisfying the privilege granting condition.
The privilege granting condition determined for each system and the type of privilege granted for each system may be the same between systems or may be different between systems.

The server 12 has a plurality of functional units shown in FIG. 3, specifically, the operation receiving unit 111, the data transmitting unit 112, the data recording unit 113, the display processing unit 114, the point granting unit 115, the privilege granting unit 116, and the mode setting. The unit 117 and the system determination unit 118 are provided. These functional units are realized by the hardware device of the server 12 and the game program as software installed in the server 12 working together. Hereinafter, each functional unit will be described.

[Operation reception part]
The operation receiving unit 111 receives data indicating the content of the operation performed by the player by communicating with the player terminal 10 during the game play, and receives the operation.
The operation of the player received by the operation receiving unit 111 includes an operation for progressing the game, and the operation includes an operation for recruiting a joint player and an operation for applying for event participation. The operation for recruiting a joint player is an operation performed when a player recruits a participant (that is, a joint player) to an event as a recruiting player. The operation for applying to participate in an event is an operation performed when another player applies for participation in an event in which another player is seeking a joint player.

Further, the operations accepted by the operation accepting unit 111 further include an event selecting operation, a mode specifying operation, and the like.
The event selection operation is an operation in which the player selects one of the events to be played from among the events that can be played at that time. More specifically, the player displays the event selection screens shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 on the display 10A of the player terminal 10, selects one of the playable events displayed on the selection screen, and Touch the event on the screen.
4 to 6 are diagrams each showing a screen example of the event selection screen.

The mode designation operation is an operation that designates a mode applied when an event is selected. In this embodiment, three types of modes are prepared, specifically, "daily change mode", "player selection mode", and "joint play participation mode", and the player can select the above three types through a mode designation screen (not shown). Specify one of the modes.

In the daily change mode, the system of events that can be played on that day is forcibly determined by the server 12 side, and that system is changed every day. When this mode is specified, the event system is divided into those that can be played on that day and those that cannot be played on that day. On the event selection screen, as shown in FIG. 4, only playable system events (specifically, system A events) are displayed in a selectable state, while unplayable system events (specifically, Specifically, the events of the systems B to F) are displayed in gray and the player cannot select them.
In the present embodiment, the system of events that can be played is determined by the server 12, and the system is changed every day. However, the system change cycle can be set to any cycle, for example, every several hours. The system may be changed every few days or every week.

In the player selection mode, the player can select and determine the system of events that the player can play on that day. When this mode is designated, on the event selection screen, as shown in FIG. 5, all the events of the plurality of systems A to F are displayed in a selectable state as the events of the systems that can be played on that day.
However, an upper limit is set for the number of times the player can select a system of events that the player can play in the player selection mode, and in the present embodiment, the upper limit is set to once a day. The player can select a system of events that can be played on the day within a range not exceeding the upper limit.
The upper limit of the number of selections is not limited to once a day, and can be set to any number of times. For example, the upper limit may be set to two or more times a day.

In the joint play participation mode, the system of the event in which the players participate as the joint player is determined as the system selected by the other player who is the recruiting player of the event. When this mode is designated, on the event selection screen, as shown in FIG. 6, the events whose system is selected by another player (“Mr. T” and “Mr. S” in FIG. 6) who are recruiting players are displayed. , It is displayed in a state where it can be selected as an event of a playable system.
It should be noted that when selecting an event with the joint play participation mode specified, it is a matter of course that another player is seeking a joint player for the event, and the player is qualified to participate in the event. Must be present (for example, be in the vicinity of the recruiting player or be registered as a friend of the recruiting player).
In addition, the player can play the event of the system selected by the other player, without limitation, as long as there is another player who is seeking a joint player of the event. As a result, the player comes to find another player who is recruiting a co-player for an event of a desired system and participates in the co-play of the event. Therefore, the player is motivated to co-play the event. The initiative can be increased.

By the way, for the event selected under the daily change mode or the player selection mode, the player specifies either one of the single play mode and the joint play mode, and plays in the specified mode.
On the other hand, for the event selected under the joint play participation mode, the player will play jointly with the other player who is the recruiting player.

[Data transmission part]
The data transmission unit 112 transmits data for game progression at any time to the player terminal 10 of the player who is playing the game, or data for presenting the progress of the game to the player. The data for presenting the progress of the game, etc., includes point display data described later.

In addition, when a certain player recruits a joint player of an event, the data transmitting unit 112 transmits data regarding the event to the player terminal 10 of the other player, and the other player applies for participation in the event. If there is, the data representing the application is transmitted to the player terminal 10 of the player who is the recruiting player.

[Data recording part]
The data recording unit 113 records various data relating to the game, such as game progress data and management data for managing the progress of the game of each player.
The management data includes data regarding a character used by the player in the game, data regarding an item given to the player, data regarding a play history of the game by the player, and the like.

Further, in the management data recorded in the data recording unit 113 in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, data for managing the event achievement points (cumulative points) accumulated by each player so far. Is included. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing management data about accumulated points of each player.
As can be seen from FIG. 7, the data recording unit 113 records the accumulated points of each player for each system. More specifically, when a player plays any event and satisfies the achievement condition, the event achievement point is given to the player, and the data recording unit 113 stores the given point. , Is recorded for each system in association with the system of the event played by the player. In this way, the data recording unit 113 of this embodiment functions as the point recording unit of the present invention.
In the present invention, “record” means that, when there are points given in the past, the points are added to the past points and recorded as cumulative points.

[Display processing unit]
The display processing unit 114 executes processing (hereinafter, point display processing) for causing the display 10A included in the player terminal 10 of each player to display a graphic object showing accumulated points recorded for each system for each player for each system. To do.
More specifically, the display processing unit 114 creates point display data in the point display processing and transmits the data to the player terminal 10 of the corresponding player. When the point display data is received by the player terminal 10 and expanded, a point confirmation screen shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display 10A, and the player who owns the player terminal 10 (hereinafter referred to as confirmer) is displayed on the screen. Also, a graphic object G indicating the cumulative points of (for each system) is displayed. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the point confirmation screen in which the graphic object G is displayed.

The graphic object G shows points recorded for each system for the confirmer, and is a radar chart type graph shown in FIG. 8 in the present embodiment. According to the graphic object G shown in FIG. 8, for example, the cumulative points accumulated by the confirmer playing the event of the system A is 110P, and the cumulative points accumulated by playing the event of the system B is It turns out that it is 300P.
The example of the graphic object G is not limited to the radar chart shown in FIG. 8, and may be another graph such as a bar graph and a line graph, or a graphic other than the graph (for example, according to accumulated points). It may be a changing character image or the like).

In addition, when the cumulative points are changed due to the addition of new points, the display processing unit 114 may execute the effect process of changing the shape of the graphic object G in a manner linked to the change of the cumulative points. For example, of the six vertices of the graphic object G that is the radar chart, the effect process of moving the position of the vertex corresponding to the changed cumulative point by the change of the point may be executed.

[Point-giving part]
The point giving unit 115 gives points (points for achieving an event) to the player when the player plays the event and satisfies the achievement condition of the event. In the present embodiment, the point giving unit 115 gives points for event achievement for each system, and more specifically, gives points for an event system for which the achievement condition is satisfied. For example, when the player plays an event of the system A and satisfies the achievement condition of the event, the point giving unit 115 gives the player a predetermined number of points for the system A.
It should be noted that the points (the number of points) to be given in one event may be determined uniformly, and may be changed according to the degree of difficulty of the achievement condition of the event or the like.

Further, in the present embodiment, when a player plays an event jointly with another player, the points given by satisfying the achievement condition of the event are determined according to the number of people who jointly played the event. For example, when the number of co-play players is 1 (that is, in the case of a single play), the number of points awarded for achieving the condition is 30P, and when the number of co-play players is 2, 3, and 4, The given points are 40P, 50P and 60P, respectively.
As described above, as the number of participants in the event increases, the point giving unit 115 increases the points given by satisfying the achievement condition of the event and gives the points to each participant. As a result, the motivation (initiative) for the joint play of the event can be increased for the players.

By the way, when the point giving unit 115 newly gives points for achieving an event, the display processing unit 114 executes the display process each time. As a result, the player can confirm the newly added event achievement points (“currently acquired P” in FIG. 8) and the accumulated points accumulated so far on the point confirmation screen.

[Bonus unit]
When the cumulative points accumulated for each system of the event (in other words, the points recorded for each system in the data recording unit 113) satisfy the privilege granting condition, the privilege granting unit 116 determines a predetermined value for the player. Grant benefits. Here, “to give a privilege” means that data for making the granted privilege available in the game is directed to the player terminal 10 of the player to whom the privilege is granted, as data for game progression. Is to send.

Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of privilege granting conditions are set for each system, and specifically, a plurality of condition values for points are set, and for example, three condition values 100P, 200P, and 300P are set. Is set. Then, when the point reaches any one of the three condition values in each system, the privilege granting unit 116 grants a privilege to the player for that system.

The condition value set as the privilege granting condition can be arbitrarily determined, and as described above, it may be the same value between the systems or different between the systems. Further, the number of condition values of each system is not limited to three, and may be an arbitrary number, which may be the same between the systems or may be different between the systems.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the privilege granting condition is set for each system, and when the privilege granting condition is satisfied, the privilege is granted for each system. Further, a plurality of privilege granting conditions are set for each system, and when any one condition is satisfied (specifically, when the accumulated cumulative points reach one of the three condition values), A privilege is given each time.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, an indicator I indicating whether or not the privilege giving condition is satisfied is displayed for each system on the point confirmation screen. Specifically, the fractional values displayed for each system and the three circles arranged in the horizontal direction form the indicator I. Fractional values have 300 as the denominator, which is the maximum condition value, and represent the cumulative points at the present time as a numerator. The three circles correspond to the plurality of condition values set as the privilege granting conditions, and correspond to 100P, 200P, and 300P in order from the left circle. The circle corresponding to the condition value for which the cumulative points have already reached is lit as shown in FIG. 8, and the circle corresponding to the condition value for which the cumulative points have not yet reached is off (dark). ..

[Mode setting part]
The mode setting unit 117 selects and sets one of the above-described three types of modes to be applied when the player selects an event, based on the mode designating operation accepted by the operation accepting unit 111. When the player repeatedly performs the mode designating operation during the day, the mode setting unit 117 sets the mode each time, and as a result, the mode applied to the day is switched.

[System determination unit]
The system determination unit 118 determines a system of events that the player can play under the mode set by the mode setting unit 117. For example, when the daily change mode is set, the system determination unit 18 periodically determines and changes the system of the event that the player can play on that day among a plurality of systems (systems A to F). In addition, in this embodiment, the system of the event determined under the daily change mode is changed every day, and more specifically, the systems A to F are sequentially switched every day.

When the player selection mode is set, the player selects one event of a desired system on the selection screen shown in FIG. 5, and the operation reception unit 111 receives the selection operation. The system determination unit 118 determines the system of the event that the player can play on that day according to the selection operation received by the operation reception unit 111.
However, in the present embodiment, as described above, the upper limit of the number of selection operations is set to once a day. Therefore, when the player selection mode is set, the system determination unit 118 determines the system of events that can be played on the day according to the player's selection operation, within a range not exceeding the upper limit (once a day). Will be done.

When the joint play participation mode is selected, the player performs an operation for requesting participation in an event for which a joint player is being recruited on the selection screen shown in FIG. 6, and the operation reception unit 111 receives the operation. Based on the participation application operation received by the operation reception unit 111, the system determination unit 118 identifies a system selected by another player who is a recruiting player at the event, regarding the event in which the player participates as a co-player. Then, the system determination unit 118 determines the system of the event in which the player participates as the joint player, as the system of the event selected by the other player who is the recruiting player.

<<Regarding information processing flow according to the present embodiment>>
Next, an information processing flow for event play according to the present embodiment will be described.
The information processing flow for event play described below adopts the information processing method of the present invention. In other words, each step in the flow described below is a component of the information processing method of the present invention. Corresponds to.
In the following, an information processing flow when a certain player (hereinafter, player P) plays an in-game event will be described as a specific example.

The information processing flow for event play according to the present embodiment is carried out through communication between the computer which is the server 12 and the player terminal 10 of the player P, and the main steps of which are carried out by the server 12 and are shown in FIGS. Follow the steps shown. 9 to 12 are diagrams showing a flow of steps performed by the server 12 in the information processing flow for the game according to the present embodiment.

In the case where the player P plays the event, the server 12 carries out the process shown in FIG. 9 along the flow shown in FIG. More specifically, first, the mode applied at the time of event selection is designated by the player P, and the designation operation is accepted by the operation accepting unit 111 of the server 12 (S001). Thereafter, the player P selects an event under the specified mode and plays the event, and the server 12 executes information processing for advancing the selected event (S002, S003, S004).

Explaining in detail about steps S002 to S004, in the case where the event is played in the daily change mode (S002), as shown in FIG. It is determined by the system determination unit 118 (S021).
The events of the determined system are displayed on the display 10A of the player terminal 10 in a selectable state on the event selection screen shown in FIG. In this state, the player P selects an event to be played from the displayed events. The operation reception unit 111 of the server 12 receives the event selection operation (S022). This determines the event to be played.
When the player P recruits a joint player to play the event in the joint play (S023), the operation reception unit 111 requests the event to be played from another player who is the joint player to participate in the event. Is accepted (S024). If player P plays the event alone, step S024 is omitted.
When the above steps are completed, the server 12 transmits data for playing the determined event, and the player P starts playing the event (S025).

In the case of playing the event in the player selection mode (S003), as shown in FIG. 11, when the event starts playing, the player P performs a selection operation, and the operation receiving unit 111 of the server 12 receives the selection operation (S031). ). In this selection operation, the event selection screen shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the display 10A of the player terminal 10, all the events of the system are displayed in a selectable state on the screen, and the player P selects the event of the desired system from among them. It is done by selecting one and touching it on the screen.
After that, the system determination unit 118 of the server 12 determines the system of the event to be played according to the selection operation received by the operation reception unit 111 (S032). That is, the system of the event selected by the player P becomes the system of the event to be played.
In the present embodiment, as described above, the upper limit is set for the number of times that the player P can select and determine the system of the event to be played, and the upper limit is not exceeded under the player selection mode. Within the range, the event system to be played is determined according to the selection operation of the player P.
When the player recruits a joint player for the event whose system is selected by the player P (S033), the operation reception unit 111 sends an event from another player who is the joint player, as in the case of the daily change mode. An application for participation in is accepted (S034). When the player P plays the event alone, step S034 is omitted.
When the above steps are completed, the server 12 transmits data for playing the determined event, and the player P starts playing the event (S035).

In the case of playing the event in the joint play participation mode (S004), as shown in FIG. 12, when the event starts to be played, the event selection screen shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display 10A of the player terminal 10, and the same screen is displayed on the screen. , An event in which another player is seeking a joint player at that time and its system are displayed in a selectable state. The player P selects an event to be played (that is, an event to participate as a co-player) from the displayed events. The operation reception unit 111 of the server 12 receives the selection operation as an application for participation in the event (S041).
The system determination unit 118 of the server 12 determines the system of the event in which the player P participates as a co-player based on the participation application accepted by the operation acceptance unit 111 (S042). Specifically, the system of the event in which the player P participates as the joint player is determined to be the system selected by another player who is the recruiting player for the event.
In addition, the data transmission unit 112 of the server 12 transmits the application for participation of the player P to the event to the player terminals 10 of other players who are recruiters of the event in which the player P participates as a co-player (S043). ).
When the above steps are completed, the server 12 transmits the data for playing the determined event, and the player starts playing the event (S044).

Returning to the flow of steps shown in FIG. 9, after the player P plays the event, the server 12 determines whether or not the player P satisfies the achievement condition of the event (S005), and the achievement condition is satisfied. If so, it is further determined whether or not the event was joint play (S006).
If the achievement condition of the event is satisfied and the event is not the joint play but the single play, the point giving unit 115 of the server 12 gives the player P the point at the time of the single play (S007).

When the achievement condition of the event is satisfied and the event is joint play, the point giving unit 115 gives the player P points according to the number of persons who jointly played the event (S008). The points given in this case are set to be larger than the points given in step S007, that is, the points given in the single play.

If the event achievement condition is not satisfied, the information processing flow for event play (strictly, the information processing flow per event) ends at that point.

After that, the data recording unit 113 of the server 12 records the event achievement points given to the player P in association with the event system satisfying the achievement condition played by the player P (S009). For example, the points given by the player P satisfying the achievement condition of the event of the system A are recorded in association with the system A.

Further, the display processing unit 114 of the server 12 executes the display processing so as to be linked to the point giving (S010). The point display data generated in this display process is transmitted to the player terminal 10 of the player P, received by the player terminal 10 and expanded. As a result, the point confirmation screen shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display 10A of the player terminal 10 of the player P, and on the screen, the event achievement points given to the player P this time and the player P are displayed. A graphic object G indicating the points (that is, accumulated points) recorded for each system is displayed for each system.

Further, on the server 12 side, it is determined whether or not the accumulated points recorded for each system satisfy the privilege grant condition defined for each system (specifically, whether the condition value has been reached) (S011). .. Then, when the privilege granting condition is satisfied, the privilege granting unit 116 of the server 12 grants the privilege to the player P (S012). In the present embodiment, the privilege granting unit 116 is supposed to grant a privilege for each system, and in this step S012, the privilege corresponding to the system satisfying the privilege granting condition will be granted.
Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of privilege granting conditions are set for each system, and the privilege granting unit 116 creates a privilege corresponding to a system that satisfies the privilege granting condition and according to the content of the privilege granting condition. Give.

When the series of steps described above is completed, the information processing flow for event play (strictly speaking, the information processing flow per event) ends. After that, when the player P repeatedly plays the event, the series of steps described above is repeatedly performed each time.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the points obtained when the event achievement condition is satisfied are accumulated for each system, and it is determined for each system whether the accumulated points satisfy the privilege grant condition, and the privilege grant condition is set. The privilege when satisfying is given to each system. As a result, the player's motivation to play various types of events can be motivated, and the fun of the game can be enhanced.

<<Summary>>
The server 12 as the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment provides a point giving unit 115 for giving points to the player when the player plays an event in the game and satisfies the event achievement condition, and the player. The data recording unit 113 as a point recording unit that records the points given as a result for each system in association with the system of the event played by the player among a plurality of systems set for classifying the event, and for each system And a privilege granting unit 116 that grants a privilege to the player when the points recorded in (1) satisfy the privilege granting condition. As a result, as described above, it is possible to motivate the player to play various types of events.

To explain the above effects in detail, as described in the section of the problem to be solved by the invention, in a conventional game, when a player plays an event and the achievement condition of the event is satisfied, rewards such as points are given. May be given. However, with respect to the player who has already obtained the reward, there is a possibility that the willingness (motivation) to play the same event again and again after that may decrease.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, points obtained when the event achievement condition is satisfied (event achievement points) are recorded for each system, and the points recorded for each system satisfy the privilege giving condition. In some cases, a privilege is given. As a result, the player can play various types of events evenly, and the player's motivation to continue playing the event can be maintained longer.

In addition, to describe a preferable configuration of the above information processing apparatus, when the points recorded for each system satisfy the privilege grant condition defined for each system, the privilege granting unit 116 informs the player of the privilege. Should be given to each system.
In this case, since the privilege can be obtained for each system by accumulating points for achieving the event for each system, it is possible to further arouse the player's motivation to play events of various systems.

In addition, to describe a preferable configuration of the above information processing apparatus, when a player plays an event in collaboration with another player, the point giving unit 115 gives the player points according to the number of players who played the event in collaboration. It is good to give it to.
In this case, it is possible to motivate the players who intend to play the event jointly.

In addition, to describe a preferable configuration of the above information processing apparatus, a graphic object G that indicates points recorded for each system for each system on a terminal (that is, the player terminal 10) that the player operates when playing an event. It is preferable to further include a display processing unit 114 that executes processing for displaying.
In this case, the player can check the event achievement points (cumulative points) accumulated so far for each system, and can also grasp the system with many (or few) accumulated points. As a result, the player can further arouse the player's motivation to play events of various systems evenly, for example, to preferentially play an event of a system having a small number of accumulated points.

Further, the information processing apparatus of the present invention may further include a system determination unit 118 that determines a system of events that the player can play.
In this case, the system determination unit 118 can periodically determine and change the system of events that the player can play from a plurality of systems. By periodically changing the system of playable events in this way, the player does not finish playing the event in a short period (for example, one day to several days), and various systems can be played over a relatively long period. You will be able to play all the events evenly.

Further, in the above configuration, the system determination unit 118 can determine the system of events that the player can play within a predetermined period according to the selection operation performed by the player. In this way, the system of playable events is set according to the player's selection operation, so that the player can play an event of a desired system and obtain points. Such an effect is particularly effective in a situation where the system of playable events changes regularly.
Specifically, in a situation in which the system of playable events changes, a player who has forgotten to play an event of a certain system (for example, system A) has the next opportunity to play the event of system A again ( That is, it is necessary to wait until the time when the event of the system A becomes playable again). Further, due to this, there is a possibility that the player's willingness to play the event may be diminished.
On the other hand, if the system of playable events can be determined according to the player's selection operation, the above player can play the system A event without waiting for the next opportunity. As a result, the player's motivation to play the event can be maintained.

Incidentally, in the above configuration, the upper limit of the number of selection operations that play Ya is performed within a predetermined period of time and are determined, system determination unit 118, under the condition not exceeding the upper limit, the player can be played within the predetermined time period It is preferable to determine the event system according to the selection operation.
In this case, the number of selection operations by the player for the system of events that can be played is limited, so that the maximum number of events that can be selected by the player is exceeded while allowing the player to play events of various systems. It is possible to allow play in a range that does not exist.

Further, in the above configuration, when another player recruits a joint player who plays an event in collaboration with the other player and the player participates in the event as a joint player, the systematic determination unit 118 causes the player to act as the joint player. The system of the event to participate may be determined as the system selected by another player.
In this case, the player can acquire points for the system by participating in an event of a desired system among the events for which joint players are being recruited. Such an effect is particularly effective in a situation where the system of playable events changes regularly.
That is, in a situation where the system of playable events changes, for example, even if a player forgets to play an event of system A, if another player is seeking a joint player for an event of system A, the next opportunity The event of system A can be played without waiting (that is, the time when the event of system A becomes playable again). As a result, the player's motivation to play the event can be maintained.

Further, in the present embodiment, an example of the information processing method using the information processing apparatus of the present invention has been described. However, in the information processing method, the player plays an event in the game and sets the achievement condition of the event by the computer. If satisfied, points are given to the player, and the points given to the player are related to the system of the event played by the player among the plurality of systems set for classifying the event. Each time the points recorded for each system satisfy the privilege grant condition, the privilege is granted to the player. As a result, it is possible to motivate the player to play various types of events.

The information processing method according to the present embodiment is realized by the server 12 alone and the combination of the player terminal 10 and the server 12. Here, the server 12 may be a server computer for ASP (Application Service Provider), SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), or IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). In this case, the server 12 executes a series of information processing (however, excluding the input and display of the information) regarding the playing of the event, the giving and recording of the points, and the giving of the privilege. Therefore, the event progress on the player terminal 10 side. It suffices to perform only the operation for displaying and displaying the image and the like.

Further, in the present embodiment, a program (specifically, a game program) that causes the computer that is the server 12 to function as an information processing apparatus has been described. However, this program is a program that is executed by the computer and is a player. In order to classify the event, the computer is caused to give points to the player when the player plays the event in the game and satisfies the achievement condition of the event. If the points recorded for each system satisfy the privilege grant condition among the set multiple systems and are recorded in association with the system of the event played by the player, the computer is provided with a privilege for the player. Is a program that gives.
By executing this program by a computer, it is possible to motivate the player to play various types of events.

The above program may be obtained by reading from a computer-readable recording medium (medium), or may be obtained by receiving (downloading) via a network such as the Internet or an intranet. Good.

<<Other Embodiments>>
Although the information processing apparatus, the information processing method, and the program of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific examples, the above-described embodiments are merely examples, and other embodiments may be considered.
For example, in the above embodiment, the server 12 functions as the information processing device of the present invention, but even if some or all of the functions of the server 12 as the information processing device are included in the player terminal 10. Of course, for example, the player terminal 10 may be provided with functions corresponding to the point granting unit 115 and the privilege granting unit 116.

Further, in the above embodiment, the privilege granting condition is set for each system, and when the privilege granting condition is satisfied in any of the systems, the privilege corresponding to that system is granted. It is not limited. Specifically, a condition relating to a plurality of systems may be set as the privilege granting condition, and for example, the condition that the accumulated points have reached the condition value in all of the systems A, B, and C is defined as the privilege granting condition. Good.

Further, in the above embodiment, the points (strictly speaking, accumulated points) recorded for each system are used (stored) for the benefit acquisition, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the benefit is not limited thereto. There may be a case where accumulated points are used for purposes other than acquisition. For example, the cumulative points of each system are reflected in the performance of the character used by the player in the game (specifically, the character's characteristics, characteristics and abilities, special effects during game play, and numerical values indicating these). Alternatively, specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, the accumulated points of each system may be reflected in the corresponding status value (ability value).
FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a correspondence relationship between points accumulated by the player and status values of characters used by the player in the game. According to FIG. 13, for example, the cumulative points of system A influence the status value 1 of the character shown in FIG.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the points are recorded and stored for each system, the points of each system are stored independently of each other. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, when the points of a certain system increase or decrease, the points of another system associated with that system may increase or decrease in conjunction.
To explain using the case shown in FIG. 14 as an example, one point (for example, the point of system A) of the two systems (for example, system A and system D) that have a positional relationship facing each other in the above-described graphic object. ) Increases, the other points (for example, points of system D) may be reduced by an amount corresponding to the increase.
On the other hand, regarding two systems (for example, system A and system B) that are in a positional relationship adjacent to each other in the graphic object, the increase or decrease of the points of each system may not affect each other.
Note that FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram of the influence between systems due to the increase or decrease of points.
By adopting the mechanism (rule) for increasing/decreasing points as described above, the interest of the game can be improved, and the motivation of the player to play various types of events can be further aroused.
