[2. Outline of the game] In the first game terminal 30 or the second game terminal 50, the game is executed by executing the program. Various games can be executed on the first game terminal 30 or the second game terminal 50.

First, a game executed on the first game terminal 30 will be described. For example, in the first game terminal 30, a game in which a game object (game character, game item, etc.) is generated based on the user's game play is executed. For example, a game in which a user develops a game character is executed on the first game terminal 30.

Here, a game based on baseball will be described as an example of a game executed by the first game terminal 30. Specifically, a baseball game in which a user trains a game character representing a baseball player (hereinafter referred to as “player character”) and creates his / her own original player character will be described. In the following, for convenience, this baseball game will be referred to as a "first baseball game".

In the first baseball game, the game story progresses by repeatedly selecting an action (practice, rest, play, etc.) to be performed by the player character to be trained. For example, in the first baseball game, a game story is provided from the summer of a second year high school student to becoming a professional baseball player. In this game story, a player character belongs to a high school baseball club, participates in baseball games (local qualifying tournaments, national tournaments, etc.) while practicing with teammates, and is a professional baseball player in the fall of the third year of high school. Aim to be scouted as.

For example, in the first baseball game, experience points are given to the player character based on the action selected by the user. The user can use the experience points to improve the ability of the player character. For example, the basic ability of the player character can be increased, or the player character can acquire a special ability. In the first baseball game, it is possible to create a pitcher or fielder player character. An example of a player character created by a user will be described later (see FIG. 4).

Next, the game executed by the second game terminal 50 will be described. For example, in the second game terminal 50, a game in which the user uses a game object is executed. For example, a game in which a user plays a match using a game character is executed on the second game terminal 50.

Here, as an example of a game executed by the second game terminal 50, a game based on baseball will be described. Specifically, a game in which a user forms his / her own baseball team using player characters and plays a baseball game with an opponent (computer or other user) will be described. In the following, for convenience, this baseball game will be referred to as a "second baseball game".

For example, in the second baseball game, the user can draw a player character by using a game item or a game point. Game items or game points for performing this lottery are given to the user as a reward for accessing the game system 1 or playing the game. The user may be able to purchase game items or game points.

When a player character is drawn, a player character selected from a plurality of candidate player characters based on the lottery process is given to the user. In the following, for convenience, the list of the plurality of selected candidate player characters, that is, the list of player character candidates that can be given to the user by lottery in the second baseball game will be referred to as a "lottery candidate list".

In the second baseball game, the user collects the player characters given as described above, and uses the collected player characters to form his / her own baseball team. The user then uses his or her baseball team to play against the opponent.

In a match with an opponent, the user operates the batter or runner's player character when attacking, and the pitcher and fielder's player character when defending. However, the mode of the game is not limited to such a mode, and for example, the user may give rough instructions to the player character while watching the situation from the position of the manager, or the team setting made in advance by the user. The match result may be automatically determined by the computer based on (starting member, player substitution plan, strategy, etc.) and ability parameters of each player character.

In such a second baseball game, if the lineup of the lottery candidate list is fixed, the user may get bored. In this respect, the game system 1 has a function for changing the lineup of the lottery candidate list while suppressing an increase in the burden on the game provider.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the above-mentioned functions of the game system 1, and is a diagram showing a procedure performed by a user who plays a first baseball game or a second baseball game.

First, a procedure performed by a user (for example, user A) who plays the first baseball game will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, first, the user A creates an original player character (S30). After that, the user A registers the player character created by the user A in the lottery candidate list L of the second baseball game (S32). The player character registered in the lottery candidate list L of the second baseball game is in a state where it can be given to another user in the second baseball game.

3 and 4 show an example of a screen image for registering in the lottery candidate list L. These screen images are displayed on the display unit 35 of the first game terminal 30.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a selection screen image for the user A to select a player character to be registered in the lottery candidate list L from the player characters created by the user A. As shown in FIG. 3, the selection screen image G300 displays a list of player characters created by the user A.

The processing objects P301, P302, P303, and P304 are displayed on the selection screen image G300 shown in FIG. The "processing object" is an image, symbol, text, or the like with which processing is associated.

The processing objects P301, P302, P303, and P304 correspond to a plurality of player characters created by the user A, and each of the processing objects P301, P302, P303, and P304 has the player character's name, position, and total ability. It is displayed. The total ability is represented by the alphabet "S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G". "S" indicates that the total ability is very high, and "G" indicates that the total ability is very low.

For example, the processing object P301 is associated with a process for selecting a player character (Tanaka) as a registration target in the lottery candidate list L. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P301, a registration screen image for registering the player character (Tanaka) in the lottery candidate list L is displayed. The same applies to the other processing objects P302 to P304.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a registration screen image. FIG. 4 shows an example of the registration screen image G310 displayed when the user A selects the processing object P301. The registration screen image G310 displays information about the player character selected in the selection screen image G300.

For example, an image of a player character is displayed in the area A311 of the registration screen image G310. Further, the area A312 displays the name of the player character, the position, the batting form, and the hand used for pitching or batting.

In addition, the basic ability parameters of the player character are displayed in the area A313. In the example shown in FIG. 4, ballistic parameters, meet parameters, power parameters, running force parameters, shoulder force parameters, defensive force parameters, and ball catching parameters are displayed in the area A313. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 4, numerical values and alphabets are displayed in the area A313. Of these, the numerical value indicates the value of the basic ability parameter, and the alphabet indicates the level (step) of the basic ability. For example, "S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G" is displayed in the area A313. "S" indicates that the ability is very high, and "G" indicates that the ability is very low.

The ballistic parameter indicates how high the hit ball of the player character rises. The meat parameter indicates the player character's meet power (the ability to hit the bat on the ball thrown by the pitcher). The power parameter indicates the power of the player character (the ability to fly a ball thrown by a pitcher far away by hitting it with a bat). The running power parameter indicates the foot speed of the player character. The shoulder strength parameter indicates the throwing speed of the player character. The defensive strength parameter indicates the defensive skill of the player character.

In addition, the special ability acquired by the player character is displayed in the area A314. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the special abilities acquired by the player character are "chance ◎", "left pitcher ○", "stolen base ○", "throwing ○", "difficulty in injury ◎", and "average hitter". Is displayed in the area A314.

"Chance ◎" is a special ability that is extremely strong against chances. If the player character has acquired "Chance ◎", the basic ability of the player character will greatly increase at the time of the chance. "Counter-left pitcher ○" is a special ability that is strong against left-handed pitchers. If the player character has acquired "against left pitcher ○", the basic ability of the player character becomes higher when the opponent pitcher is the left pitcher. "Stolen base ○" is a special ability to improve stolen base. If the player character has acquired "Stolen base ○", the player character can easily succeed in stealing.

"Throwing ball ○" is a special ability that makes it difficult to throw a ball. If the player character has mastered "Throwing ○", it becomes difficult for the player character to throw the ball. "Difficulty in injury ◎" is a special ability that rarely causes injury. If the player character has acquired "Difficulty in injury ◎", the player character rarely gets injured. "Average hitter" is a special ability that makes it easier to hit a hit ball. If the player character has mastered the "average hitter", it becomes easier for the player character to hit a hit.

The processing objects P315 and P316 are displayed in the area A314. The processing objects P315 and P316 are associated with a process for changing the display content of the area A314. When the user selects the processing objects P315 and P316, the display content of the area A314 changes. For example, information about the character of the player character is displayed in the area A314.

Further, the processing object P318 is displayed on the registration screen image G310. The processing object P318 is associated with a process for returning to the selection screen image G300. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P318, the selection screen image G300 is displayed again on the display unit 35.

Further, the processing object P317 is displayed on the registration screen image G310. The processing object P317 is associated with a process for registering the player character in the lottery candidate list L of the second baseball game. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P317, the player character displayed on the registration screen image G310 is registered in the lottery candidate list L of the second baseball game. In this case, the player character is in a state where it can be given to the user by lottery in the second baseball game.

Next, a procedure performed by a user (for example, user B) who plays the second baseball game will be described.

As shown in FIG. 2, first, the user B obtains a player character by drawing a player character using a game item or a game point (S50). In this case, at least one of the plurality of player characters registered in the lottery candidate list L is selected based on the lottery process, and the selected player character is given to the user B. By acquiring the player characters in this way, the user B increases the player characters owned by the user B.

In addition, one player character registered in the lottery candidate list L may be given to a plurality of users. That is, one player character registered by the user A may be given to a plurality of users (for example, users B, C, D, etc.).

FIG. 5 shows an example of a lottery result screen image displayed when a lottery of player characters is performed. As shown in FIG. 5, the lottery result screen image G500 displays information about the player character given to the user as a result of the lottery (in other words, the player character obtained by the user by the lottery). The areas A501, A502, and A503 of the lottery result screen image G500 shown in FIG. 5 are the same as the areas A311, A312, and A313 of the registration screen image G310 shown in FIG.

The result stored by the player character is displayed in the area A504 of the lottery result screen image G500. As described above, since one player character may be given to a plurality of users, when the player character A is given to the user B, the player character is already given to another user and used. In some cases. In such a case, the area A504 displays the cumulative total of the results of the one player character participating in the game as a member of each other user's baseball team. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the cumulative totals of the number of hits, the number of home runs, the number of hit points, and the number of stolen bases are displayed in the area A504. For example, when the player character A is given to the user B, the player character A has already been given to the users C and D, and the player character A participates in the game as a member of the baseball team of the user C and hits. Assuming that the cumulative number of hits is "Hc" and the cumulative number of hits that the player character A has hit in the game as a member of the baseball team of user C is "Hd", Hc + Hd is in the area A504 as the number of hits. It will be displayed.

Note that FIG. 5 shows an example of the lottery result screen image G500 when the player character given to the user is a fielder, but when the player character given to the user is a pitcher, for example, a win. The total number, number of saves, and number of strikeouts are displayed in area A504.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the processing objects P505 and P506 are displayed in the area A504. The processing objects P505 and P506 are associated with a process for changing the display content of the area A504. Therefore, when the user selects the processing objects P505 and P506, the display content of the area A504 changes. For example, information on the special ability of the player character (for example, the display content of the area A314 in FIG. 4), information on the character of the player character, and the like are displayed in the area A504.

In addition, a nice point of the player character is displayed in the area A507. The nice point indicates the evaluation of the player character by the user who used the player character. The more nice points there are, the higher the evaluation from the user who used the player character. The details of the nice points will be described later.

Further, the popularity parameter of the player character is displayed in the area A508. The popularity parameter indicates the popularity of the player character. For example, "regular", "star", or "superstar" is set as the popularity parameter of the player character. "Regular" indicates that it is not very popular, and "Superstar" indicates that it is very popular. Initially, the player character's popularity parameter is set to "regular".

The popularity parameter is associated with nice points. Specifically, when the nice point reaches a predetermined value, the popularity parameter is raised by one level. For example, when the nice point reaches the first predetermined value while the popularity parameter of the player character is "regular", the popularity parameter of the player character changes to "star". Furthermore, when the nice point reaches the second predetermined value (a value larger than the first predetermined value) while the popularity parameter of the player character is "star", the popularity parameter of the player character changes to "superstar". .. In this way, as the evaluation from the user who uses the player character increases, the popularity of the player character also increases.

By referring to the above areas A504, A507, and A508, the user evaluates and popularizes the player character given by the lottery from other users who used the player character, and when the player character is used by another user. It is possible to grasp how active the player character is.

As described above, the user obtains the player character. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the user forms a baseball team using his / her own player character (S52), and uses the baseball team to play a match against an opponent (S54).

FIG. 6 shows an example of a game screen image displayed during the game. The game screen image G510 shown in FIG. 6 shows a scene in which the user is attacking. That is, it shows a scene in which the user is operating the player character PC that is the batter. The current game status is displayed in the area A511, and the name of the player character PC operated by the user is displayed in the area A512.

In the game screen image G510, the frame F and the meet cursor M are displayed as operation images for the user to make the player character PC hit. The frame F is displayed on the home base and indicates a strike zone. The meat cursor M moves according to the user's movement instruction operation and indicates the striking position. When the user performs the swing instruction operation, the player character PC swings the bat toward the batting position indicated by the meet cursor M.

When the user performs a swing instruction operation at the timing when the ball B passes through the plane including the frame F or at a timing in the vicinity thereof, the player character PC hits the ball B according to the positional relationship between the meet cursor M and the ball B. For example, when the meet cursor M overlaps the ball B, the ball B is hit. In this case, if the core MC of the meet cursor M overlaps the ball B, a strong hit ball flies. On the other hand, if the meet cursor M does not overlap the ball B, the ball is missed. It should be noted that even when the swing instruction operation is performed at the timing when the ball B passes through the plane including the frame F and the timing when the ball B is separated from the plane, the ball is missed.

The processing object P513 is also displayed on the game screen image G510. The processing object P513 is associated with a process for increasing the nice points of the player character PC. For example, when the player character PC plays an active role, the user selects the processing object P513. In this case, the nice points of the player character PC are increased by 1 point. Hereinafter, for convenience, the processing object P513 will be referred to as a "nice button".

As described above, when the nice button is selected, the nice points of the player character are increased by 1 point, so that the nice points correspond to the cumulative number of times the nice button is selected for the player character. Further, as described above, one player character may be given to a plurality of users, and each of the plurality of users selects a nice button for the one player character as a nice point of the one player character. Shows the cumulative number of times. For example, the player character A is given to the user B, C, and D, the number of times the user B selects the nice button for the player character A is "Nb", and the user C presses the nice button for the player character A. Assuming that the number of selections is "Nc" and the number of times the user D selects the nice button for the player character A is "Nd", the value of the nice point of the player character A is Nb + Nc + Nd.

Since selecting the nice button is equivalent to giving a good evaluation to the player character, the player character with many nice points is a player character that is highly evaluated by the user who used the player character. Become.

As described above, in the game system 1, the player character created by the user of the first baseball game is a lottery candidate list of the second baseball game (a player character that can be given to the user of the second baseball game by lottery). It is supposed to be registered in the list of candidates). As a result, the lineup of the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game is changed without the game provider creating a new player character.

In the game system 1, when the user requests, the player character created by the user is registered in the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game, so that the user puts the player character created by the user in the lottery candidate list. You can choose whether or not to register.

By the way, in order to change the lineup of the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game as described above, it is necessary to have the player character created by the user of the first baseball game registered in the lottery candidate list. In this respect, the game system 1 also has a function of motivating the user of the first baseball game to register the player character created by himself / herself in the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game.

Specifically, in the game system 1, when the player character A created by the user A in the first baseball game is given to another user in the second baseball game, the creator of the player character can be used under predetermined conditions. A reward is given to a certain user A. For example, when the nice points of the player character A reach a predetermined value, the user A is rewarded. In this case, for example, game points or game items that can be used in the first baseball game are given as rewards. Specifically, for example, a game item that assists in creating a highly capable player character is given as a reward. Alternatively, the experience points required to improve the ability of the player character being created are given as a reward. By doing so, the user of the first baseball game is motivated to register the player character created by himself / herself in the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game, and a lot of nice points are obtained from other users. It is designed to motivate players to create player characters that can be played.

The configuration that motivates the user of the first baseball game is not limited to the example described above. Hereinafter, other examples will also be described.

(Example 1) A reward may be given to the user A when the cumulative number of times the player character A has been used by another user reaches a predetermined value. In this way, the user of the first baseball game can be motivated to create a player character that is often used by other users.

(Example 2) When the results of the player character A used by another user satisfy a predetermined condition, the user A may be rewarded. For example, when the cumulative number of hits of the player character A reaches a predetermined value, the user A may be rewarded. Alternatively, a reward may be given to the user A when the player character A exceeds a predetermined rank in the performance ranking of the entire player character. In this way, the user of the first baseball game can be motivated to create a player character that achieves excellent results.

(Example 3) When the player character A created by the user A in the first baseball game is given to another user in the second baseball game, the reward may be unconditionally given to the user A. Even in this way, the user of the first baseball game can be motivated to register the player character created by himself / herself in the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game.

(Example 4) Instead of giving a reward to the user A, the basic ability of the player character A in the first baseball game may be increased, or the player character A may be made to acquire a special ability. Even in this way, the user of the first baseball game can be motivated to register the player character created by himself / herself in the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game.

In the above, the function for motivating the user of the first baseball game to create a player character and register it in the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game has been described. However, the game system 1 has described the second baseball game. It also has a function to motivate the user of the game to use the player character.

Specifically, in the game system 1, the cumulative number of hits of the player character A is a predetermined value (for example, 500) because the player character A used by the user B hits in a match between the user B and the opponent. , 1000, 1500, 2000, etc.), the user B is rewarded. In this case, for example, game points or game items that can be used in the second baseball game are given as rewards. Specifically, for example, game points or game items for drawing a player character are given as rewards. By doing so, the user of the second baseball game is motivated to play the game by using the player character.

Even in the above case, the reward may be given to the user A who is the creator of the player character A. For example, the game points or game items that can be used in the first baseball game may be given to the user A as a reward.

[3. Data structure] The following is an example of data required to realize the functions described above. 7 to 11 show an example of data in the case of realizing the baseball game as described above. These data are stored in, for example, the database 14.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the first user table. The first user table TBL101 is data showing information about each user who plays the first baseball game. As shown in FIG. 7, the first user table TBL101 includes "user ID", "first game points", and "first game item" fields.

The "User ID" field indicates information that uniquely identifies each user. The "first game point" field indicates the amount of game points (game points that can be used in the first baseball game) owned by the user. The "first game item" field shows a list of game items (game items that can be used in the first baseball game) owned by the user. The "game points owned by the user" or the "game items owned by the user" are game points or game items that can be arbitrarily used by the user.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the first player character table. The first player character table TBL102 is data showing a list of player characters created in the first baseball game. As shown in FIG. 8, the first player character table TBL102 has "first player character ID", "creator", "name", "position", "total ability", "basic ability parameter", and "special ability parameter". , And the "lottery candidate flag" field.

The "first player character ID" field indicates information that uniquely identifies the player character created in the first baseball game. The "Creator" field indicates the user ID of the user who is the creator of the player character. The "Name" and "Position" fields indicate the player character's name and position. The "total ability" field indicates the level of the player character's total ability.

In the "basic ability parameter" field, a basic ability parameter indicating the level of the basic ability of the player character is registered. In the "special ability parameter" field, a special ability parameter indicating whether or not the player character has acquired a special ability is registered.

The "lottery candidate flag" field indicates whether or not the player character is set in the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game. For example, the value "0" or "1" is registered in the "lottery candidate registration flag" field. A value "0" indicates that the player character is not set in the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game, and a value "1" indicates that the player character is set in the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game. Shown. In this case, the list of player characters whose value in the "lottery candidate flag" field is "1" corresponds to the lottery candidate list L shown in FIG.

Although omitted in FIG. 8, for example, a field showing an image of a player character, a field showing a batting form of a player character, and a field showing a hand used for pitching or batting are also included in the first player character table TBL102.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the second user table. The second user table TBL103 is data showing information about each user who plays the second baseball game. As shown in FIG. 9, the second user table TBL103 includes "user ID", "second game points", and "second game item" fields.

The "user ID" field is the same as the "user ID" field of the first user table TBL101. Although the user ID common to the first baseball game and the second baseball game is used here, different user IDs may be used for the first baseball game and the second baseball game.

The "second game point" field indicates the amount of game points (game points that can be used in the second baseball game) owned by the user. The "second game item" field shows a list of game items (game items that can be used in the second baseball game) owned by the user.

FIG. 10 shows an example of the second player character table. The second player character table TBL104 shows a list of player characters owned by the user who plays the second game. As shown in FIG. 10, the second player character table TBL104 has "second player character ID", "holder", "first player character ID", "name", "position", "comprehensive ability", and "basic". Includes Ability Parameters and Special Ability Parameters fields.

The "second player character ID" field indicates information that uniquely identifies the player character owned by the user who plays the second game. When one player character is given to a plurality of users, the first player character IDs of the player characters given to the plurality of users are the same, but the second player character IDs are different.

The "holder" field indicates the user ID of the user who owns the player character. The "first player character ID" field indicates the first player character ID of the player character. In the case of a player character created by a user of the first baseball game, the first player character ID of the player character is registered in the "first player character ID" field. In the second baseball game, a player character created by the game provider may be given to the user, and the "first player character ID" field is left blank for such a player character.

The "name", "position", "total ability", "basic ability parameter", and "special ability parameter" fields are the "name", "position", "total ability", and "basic ability" of the first player character table TBL102. Similar to the Parameters and Special Ability Parameters fields.

FIG. 11 shows an example of the usage result table. The usage result table TBL105 is data showing the usage results of the player character created by the user of the first baseball game in the second baseball game.

As shown in FIG. 11, the usage result table TBL105 includes "first player character ID", "popularity", "nice points", "number of uses", and "results" fields.

The first player character ID of the player character is registered in the "first player character ID" field. The usage result in the second baseball game is managed for each first player character ID. The popularity parameter of the player character is registered in the "popularity" field. The nice points of the player character are registered in the "nice point" field.

The "Number of times of use" field indicates the number of times the player character has been used. In addition, when the player character is registered as a member of the baseball team and the game is played, it may be regarded as "the player character was used", or when the player character actually participates in the game, "the player". It may be considered that the character has been used. Further, as described above, one player character may be given to a plurality of users, and the cumulative number of times the one player character has been used by each of the plurality of users is registered in the "number of uses" field. ..

The "Results" field indicates the results obtained by the player character. As mentioned above, one player character may be given to a plurality of users, and the result (for example, the number of hits) obtained by the one player character participating in a game as a member of each baseball team of the plurality of users. , Home runs, hit points, stolen bases, wins, saves, or strikeouts) are registered in the "Results" field.

[4. Functional block] Next, the functional block realized by the game system 1 will be described. FIG. 12 shows an example of a functional block realized by the game system 1. As shown in FIG. 12, the game system 1 has a selection candidate setting unit 110, a selection unit 120, a game object association unit 130, a first reward association unit 140, a parameter update unit 150, a display control unit 160, and a second reward association. Includes part 170. These functional blocks are realized, for example, by the control unit 11 of the server 10 (game control device).

First, the selection candidate setting unit 110, the selection unit 120, and the game object association unit 130 will be described. After the selection unit 120 and the game object association unit 130 have been described first, the selection candidate setting unit 110 will be described.

The selection unit 120 selects at least one of a plurality of selection candidate game objects as a game object to be associated with the first user identification information based on a predetermined lottery process. Then, the game object association unit 130 associates the game object selected by the selection unit 120 with the first user identification information.

Here, the "game object" is an object that can be used in a game. For example, a game character, a game item, or the like corresponds to an example of a “game object”. The game character or game item may be displayed on the game screen in the form of a game card. For example, a game object is set with multiple parameters.

The "parameter" set in the game object is, for example, information indicating the performance of the game object. That is, the "parameter" is, for example, information indicating the magnitude or level of the performance of the game object, or information indicating whether or not the game object has a specific performance.

Alternatively, the "parameter" may be, for example, information indicating the state of the game object. That is, the "parameter" may be, for example, information indicating the quality of the state of the game object. Alternatively, the "parameter" may be, for example, information indicating the rarity or popularity of the game object.

For example, when the game object is a player character of a baseball game, information indicating high or low (or large or small) such as pitcher ability, striking ability, defensive ability, or running ability, and information indicating the presence or absence of special ability are "game objects". It corresponds to an example of "information indicating the performance of the game", and information indicating the magnitude of stamina (or the degree of fatigue) and information indicating the quality of the condition (condition) correspond to an example of "information indicating the state of the game object". ..

Further, for example, when the game object is a player character of a soccer game, information indicating the level (or size) of pass ability, dribble ability, shooting ability, defense ability, running ability, etc., and information indicating the presence or absence of special ability are provided. Corresponding to an example of "information indicating the performance of a game object", information indicating the magnitude of stamina (or the degree of fatigue) and information indicating the quality of the condition (condition) is an example of "information indicating the state of the game object". Corresponds to.

Further, for example, when the game object is a game character that fights against an enemy, information indicating the level (or size) of the offensive power or defensive power, etc., and information indicating the presence or absence of special abilities are "information indicating the performance of the game object". The hit point corresponds to an example of "information indicating the state of the game object".

Further, for example, when the game object is a game item, the information indicating the magnitude (or high / low) of the effectiveness of the game item corresponds to an example of "information indicating the performance of the game object", and the remaining number of times the game item can be used is calculated. The information shown and the information indicating the number of times the game item has been used correspond to an example of "information indicating the state of the game object".

The "parameter" is not limited to numerical information, and may be information other than numerical information.

Further, the "user identification information" is information for uniquely identifying the user. In other words, the "user identification information" is information for identifying the user. For example, a user ID, a user's name, a user account, or an e-mail address corresponds to an example of "user identification information". The "first user identification information" is user identification information that identifies the first user.

"Associating a game object with a user identification information" means that the game object is associated with the user identification information and stored. In other words, "associating a game object with a user identification information" means assigning a game object to a user identified by the user identification information. In other words, "associating the game object with the user identification information" means adding the game object to the game object owned by the user identified by the user identification information. Here, the "game object owned by the user" is a game object in a state in which the user can arbitrarily use it.

The "game object associated with the user identification information" is a game object that is stored in association with the user identification information. In other words, the "game object associated with the user identification information" is a game object given to the user identified by the user identification information. In other words, the "game object associated with the user identification information" is a game object added to the game object owned by the user identified by the user identification information.

The "selection candidate" is a candidate selected as a game object associated with the user identification information. In other words, the "selection candidate" is a game object that can be selected as a game object associated with the user identification information.

The "lottery process" is a process for automatically selecting at least one of a plurality of selection candidate game objects as a game object associated with user identification information according to a predetermined probability. In other words, the "lottery process" is to automatically select at least one of a plurality of selection candidate game objects as game objects associated with user identification information based on random numbers (or randomly). It is a process of.

The selection candidate setting unit 110 is a plurality of game objects associated with the second user identification information and generated based on the game play by the second user identified by the second user identification information. Set as one of the game objects that are candidates for selection.

Here, the "second user identification information" is user identification information other than the first user identification information, and is user identification information that identifies a second user who is a user other than the first user.

The "game object generated based on the user's gameplay" is a game object generated as a result of the user playing a game. In other words, it is a game object whose parameters are set based on the gameplay by the user. For example, it is a game object in which the parameters are updated from the initial state and the parameters are fixed based on the game play by the user. The "game object generated based on the user's gameplay" can be rephrased as the game object generated by the user. That is, the "game object generated based on the user's gameplay" can be rephrased as, for example, a game character cultivated by the user or a game item enhanced by the user.

The "plurality of candidate game objects" may include only game objects generated based on user gameplay, or game objects generated based on user gameplay and their game objects. It may include both game objects other than (for example, game objects created by the game provider).

For example, when the selection candidate setting unit 110 receives a predetermined setting request from the second user, the selection candidate setting unit 110 sets the game object associated with the second user identification information as one of the plurality of selection candidate game objects. To do.

Here, the "setting request" is a request to set as a game object of the selection candidate. Further, "accepting a setting request from the user" means receiving data from the user's terminal indicating that the game object is requested to be set as a selection candidate game object. Alternatively, "accepting a setting request from the user" may mean accepting an operation indicating that the game object is requested to be set as a selection candidate game object.

When the game object associated with the second user identification information is selected by the selection unit 120, the game object association unit 130 associates the game object associated with the second user identification information with the first user identification information.

Here, "associating a game object associated with the second user identification information with the first user identification information" means associating a copy of the game object associated with the second user identification information with the first user identification information. is there. Alternatively, "associating the game object associated with the second user identification information with the first user identification information" means associating the game object itself associated with the second user identification information with the first user identification information. May be good.

The game object associated with the second user identification information may be associated with each of a plurality of user identification information other than the second user identification information. Further, when the game object associated with the second user identification information is selected by the selection unit 120 and associated with the first user identification information, the game object uses the game object in the game played by the first user. It will be ready for use.

For example, the "game object associated with the second user identification information" is, for example, a game object generated based on the play of the first game by the second user, and the game object is selected by the selection unit 120. When associated with the first user identification information, the game object is in a state where the game object can be used in a second game (a game different from the first game) played by the first user.

Here, the "game different from the first game" is, for example, a game provided separately from the first game. For example, it is a game executed based on a second game program separate from the first game program for executing the first game. Further, for example, it is a game provided by a game terminal of a type different from the game terminal for providing the first game. For example, when the first game is a game provided by a mobile phone (smartphone), the second game is a game terminal other than the mobile phone (smartphone) (for example, a business game machine or a home-use game machine (stationary game). A game provided by a machine), a portable game machine, a desktop computer, etc.).

In the first and second baseball games described above, when the processing object P317 of the registration screen image G310 is selected, data indicating that the player character is requested to be registered in the lottery candidate list is transmitted to the server 10. .. In this case, requesting that the player character be registered in the lottery candidate list corresponds to an example of "setting request". Further, updating the lottery candidate flag of the player character to "1" corresponds to an example of "setting a game object as one of a plurality of selection candidate game objects". Further, the player character whose lottery candidate flag is "1" corresponds to an example of "a plurality of selection candidate game objects".

Therefore, when the selection candidate setting unit 110 receives data indicating that the player character is requested to be registered in the lottery candidate list from the first game terminal 30 of the user A (an example of the second user), the selection candidate setting unit 110 receives. The lottery candidate flag of the player character is updated to "1".

Further, the selection unit 120 selects at least one of the player characters registered in the first player character table TBL102 and whose lottery candidate flag is "1" by user B (first user). As a player character to be given to (one example)), the player character is selected based on a predetermined lottery process.

Then, the game object association unit 130 assigns the player character selected by the selection unit 120 to the user B. Specifically, the game object association unit 130 associates the information about the player character selected by the selection unit 120 with the user ID of the user B, and registers it in the second player character table TBL104.

Next, the first reward association unit 140 will be described.

The first reward association unit 140 associates a reward with the second user identification information when the game object associated with the second user identification information is selected by the selection unit 120 and associated with the first user identification information.

Here, "associating a reward with the user identification information" means giving a reward to the user identified by the user identification information.

For example, giving a game object to a user corresponds to an example of "associating a reward with a user identification information". That is, by giving the user a new game object that the user does not own, or by further giving the user a game object that the user already owns, the number of the game objects that the user owns can be determined. Increasing corresponds to an example of "associating a reward with user identification information". In other words, a game object associated with the user identification information by associating a new game object with the user identification information, or by further associating the game object with the user identification information while the user identification information and the game object are associated with each other. Increasing the number of is equivalent to an example of "associating a reward with user identification information".

Also, for example, giving game points to a user corresponds to an example of "associating a reward with a user identification information". That is, increasing the game points held by the user corresponds to an example of "associating the reward with the user identification information". In other words, increasing the game points associated with the user identification information by further associating the game points with the user identification information associated with the game points is an example of "associating the reward with the user identification information". Equivalent to.

The "game point" is, for example, one that plays a role as a currency in the game. For example, a point that is used to obtain a new game object (game item, etc.). However, "game points" are not limited to those that play a role as currency in the game. For example, the "game point" may be a point (for example, an experience point) for improving the performance of the game object. That is, it may be a point used to improve the performance of the game object.

The "reward" is not limited to game objects and game points, and various rewards can be set according to the content of the game. The "reward" may be to temporarily or permanently change the parameters (parameters other than the game points) associated with the user so as to be advantageous to the user.

"When the game object associated with the second user identification information is associated with the first user identification information, the reward is associated with the second user identification information" means, for example, the game associated with the second user identification information. When the object is associated with the first user identification information, the reward is associated with the second user identification information based on a predetermined condition.

Here, the "predetermined condition" is a condition that needs to be satisfied in order for the association of the reward with the first user identification information to be executed. In other words, the "predetermined condition" is a condition that serves as a reference for determining whether or not to associate the reward with the first user identification information. For example, if the predetermined condition is satisfied, the association of the reward with the first user identification information is executed, and if the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the association of the reward with the first user identification information is not executed.

In addition, "when the game object associated with the second user identification information is associated with the first user identification information, the reward is associated with the second user identification information" is associated with, for example, the second user identification information. When the game object is associated with the first user identification information, the reward may be unconditionally associated with the second user identification information.

In the first and second baseball games described above, the player character A (an example of a game object associated with the second user identification information) created by the user A in the first baseball game is selected by the first reward association unit 140. When selected by the unit 120 and given to the user B (an example of the first user), the reward is given to the user A based on the evaluation of the player character A by the user B.

Here, "evaluation of the player character by the user" means that the user evaluates the presence or absence or degree of satisfaction with the player character. In other words, "evaluation of the player character by the user" means that the user evaluates the goodness of the player character.

Further, "giving a reward to the user based on the evaluation of the player character" means determining whether or not to give the reward to the user based on the evaluation of the player character. For example, "giving a reward to a user based on an evaluation of a player character" determines whether or not to give a reward to a user based on whether or not the evaluation of a player character satisfies a predetermined condition. It is to be.

Alternatively, "giving a reward to the user based on the evaluation of the player character" may mean determining the type or amount of the reward to be rewarded to the user based on the evaluation of the player character. For example, "giving a reward to a user based on an evaluation of a player character" means the type or amount of reward given to a user based on whether or not the evaluation of a player character satisfies a predetermined condition. May be to determine. For example, the type of reward given to the user may be different depending on whether the evaluation of the player character satisfies the predetermined condition or the evaluation of the player character does not satisfy the predetermined condition. Further, for example, when the evaluation of the player character satisfies the predetermined condition, the amount of the reward given to the user may be larger than that when the evaluation of the player character does not satisfy the predetermined condition.

In the case of the first and second baseball games described above, the nice points of the player character correspond to an example of "evaluation of the player character". Further, the first reward association unit 140 gives a reward to the user A who is the creator of the player character A when the nice points of the player character A become equal to or more than a predetermined value.

In the first reward association unit 140, the player character A (an example of a game object associated with the second user identification information) created by the user A in the first baseball game is selected by the selection unit 120, and the user B (1st reward association unit 140). When given to an example of the first user), the reward may be given to the user A based on the result of using the player character A in the second baseball game played by the user B.

Here, "use of the player character" means, for example, that the user operates the player character as the operation target, or the user gives an instruction with the player character as the referent. Further, "use of player character" means, for example, making a player character appear in a game. In other words, "using the player character" means displaying the player character on the game screen. In the case of the first and second baseball games described above, setting a player character as a member of a baseball team or having a player character participate in a game corresponds to an example of "use of a player character". In the case of a game item, "use of the game item" means, for example, to generate an effect of the game item.

The "use result" is, for example, whether or not the player character has been used. Alternatively, the "use result" may be, for example, the number of times the player character has been used, or the length of the period during which the player character has been used. Alternatively, the "use result" may be, for example, the presence or absence or degree of contribution made by the player character used in the game.

For example, the results obtained by the player character used in the game correspond to an example of "presence or absence or degree of contribution". For example, in the case of a player character in a baseball game, the number of hits, the number of home runs, the number of hit points, the number of stolen bases, the number of wins, the number of saves, the number of strikeouts, etc. correspond to an example of "results". In the case of a player character of a soccer game, the score, the number of assists, the goal, etc. correspond to an example of "result". Also, in the case of a game character that fights with enemies, the number of enemies defeated, the amount of damage done to the enemies, or whether or not a specific enemy (for example, a boss) has been defeated corresponds to an example of "results". To do.

The presence or absence or degree of the effect generated in the game by using the player character also corresponds to an example of "presence or absence or degree of contribution". For example, if the performance of the entire team (group or deck) is improved by incorporating the player character into the team (group or deck), the presence or absence or degree of the improvement is "contribution". Corresponds to an example of "presence or absence or degree". Also, for example, the use of a player character affects other game objects (for example, it improves the performance of a friendly player character or reduces the performance of an opponent's player character). If so, the presence or absence or degree of the influence corresponds to an example of "presence or absence or degree of contribution".

"Giving a reward to a user based on the usage result of a player character" is to determine whether or not to give a reward to a user based on the usage result of a player character. For example, it is determined whether or not to give a reward to the user based on whether or not the result of using the player character satisfies a predetermined condition.

Alternatively, "giving a reward to the user based on the usage result of the player character" may mean determining the type or amount of the reward to be given to the user based on the usage result of the player character. For example, the type or amount of reward to be given to the user may be determined based on whether or not the result of using the player character satisfies a predetermined condition. For example, the type of reward given to the user may be different depending on whether the use result of the player character satisfies the predetermined condition or the use result of the player character does not satisfy the predetermined condition. Further, for example, when the use result of the player character satisfies the predetermined condition, the amount of the reward given to the user may be larger than that when the use result of the player character does not satisfy the predetermined condition.

In the case of the first and second baseball games described above, the number of times the player character is used (see FIG. 11) corresponds to an example of the “result of using the player character”. Therefore, the first reward association unit 140 may give a reward to the user A when the number of times the player character A has been used reaches a predetermined value.

In addition, the results of the player characters (see FIG. 11) also correspond to an example of "results of using the player characters". Therefore, the first reward association unit 140 rewards the user A when the number of hits (or the number of home runs, the number of hits, the number of stolen bases, the number of wins, the number of saves, the number of strikeouts) of the player character A reaches a predetermined value. May be given.

Next, the parameter update unit 150 will be described.

The parameter update unit 150 is a parameter of the game object associated with the second user identification information when the game object associated with the second user identification information is selected by the selection unit 120 and associated with the first user identification information. To update.

In the first and second baseball games described above, for example, the parameter update unit 150 selects a player character A (an example of a game object associated with the second user identification information) created by the user A in the first baseball game. When selected by the unit 120 and given to the user B (an example of the first user), the parameters of the player character A are updated based on the evaluation of the player character A by the user B.

Here, the "evaluation of the player character by the user" is the same as in the case of the first reward association unit 140.

Further, "updating the parameters of the player character based on the evaluation of the player character" means determining whether or not to update the parameters of the player character based on the evaluation of the player character. For example, it is determined whether or not to update the parameters of the player character based on whether or not the evaluation of the player character satisfies the predetermined condition.

Alternatively, "updating the parameters of the player character based on the evaluation of the player character" may mean determining the degree of updating of the parameters of the player character based on the evaluation of the player character. For example, the degree of updating of the parameters of the player character may be determined based on whether or not the evaluation of the player character satisfies the predetermined condition. For example, when the evaluation of the player character satisfies the predetermined condition, the degree of updating of the parameter of the player character may be increased as compared with the case where the evaluation of the player character does not satisfy the predetermined condition.

In the case of the first and second baseball games described above, the nice point of the player character corresponds to an example of "evaluation of the player character", and the popularity parameter of the player character corresponds to an example of "parameter". Further, the parameter updating unit 150 updates the popularity parameter of the player character A when the nice point of the player character A reaches a predetermined value. For example, when the nice point of the player character A reaches the first predetermined value while the popularity parameter of the player character A is "regular", the parameter update unit 150 changes the popularity parameter of the player character A to "star". To do. Further, when the nice point of the player character A reaches the second predetermined value (a value larger than the first predetermined value) while the popularity parameter of the player character A is "star", the parameter update unit 150 of the player character Change the popularity parameter to "Superstar".

Further, in the case of the first and second baseball games described above, the basic ability parameter or the special ability parameter of the player character also corresponds to an example of the "parameter". Therefore, when the nice point of the player character A reaches a predetermined value, the parameter updating unit 150 improves the basic ability of the player character A by updating the basic ability parameter of the player character A, or improves the basic ability of the player character A. By updating the special ability parameter of, the player character A may be made to acquire a new special ability.

In the parameter update unit 150, for example, the player character A (an example of a game object associated with the second user identification information) created by the user A in the first baseball game is selected by the selection unit 120, and the user B (user B) When given to an example of the first user), the parameters of the player character A may be updated based on the result of using the player character A in the second baseball game played by the user B.

Here, the "use of the player character" and the "use result" are the same as in the case of the first reward association unit 140.

Further, "updating the parameters of the player character based on the use result of the player character" means determining whether or not to update the parameters of the player character based on the use result of the player character. For example, it is determined whether or not to update the parameters of the player character based on whether or not the result of using the player character satisfies a predetermined condition.

Alternatively, "updating the player character parameters based on the player character usage results" may mean determining the degree of updating the player character parameters based on the player character usage results. For example, the degree of updating of the parameters of the player character may be determined based on whether or not the result of using the player character satisfies a predetermined condition. For example, when the use result of the player character satisfies the predetermined condition, the degree of updating of the parameter of the player character may be larger than that when the use result of the player character does not satisfy the predetermined condition.

In the case of the first and second baseball games described above, the number of times the player character is used (see FIG. 11) corresponds to an example of the “result of using the player character”. Therefore, the parameter updating unit 150 may update the popularity parameter (or basic ability parameter, special ability parameter) of the player character A when the number of times the player character A has been used reaches a predetermined value.

Further, in the case of the first and second baseball games described above, the results of the player characters (see FIG. 11) also correspond to an example of "results of using the player characters". Therefore, the parameter update unit 150 determines the popularity of the player character A when the number of hits (or the number of home runs, the number of hits, the number of stolen bases, the number of wins, the number of saves, the number of strikes) of the player character A reaches a predetermined value. The parameters (or basic ability parameters, special ability parameters) may be updated.

Next, the display control unit 160 will be described.

The display control unit 160 provides information on the result of use of the game object in the game played by each of the plurality of users when the game object associated with the second user identification information is associated with each of the plurality of user identification information. Is controlled to be displayed on the display means.

Here, the "display means" is, for example, a display device provided in the terminal used by the user. For example, the display unit of an arcade game machine, a portable game machine, a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a tablet computer, or a laptop computer corresponds to an example of "display means". Alternatively, the "display means" is, for example, a display device connected to a terminal used by the user. For example, a display device connected to a stationary game machine or a desktop computer also corresponds to an example of "display means".

"Controlling the display of information on the display means" means, for example, generating a screen image showing the information and displaying it on the display means. Alternatively, "controlling the display of information on the display means" means, for example, transmitting screen image data indicating the information to the user's terminal device. The "screen image data" may be data indicating the screen image itself, or may be data for generating the screen image.

The "information regarding the usage result of the game object" is, for example, statistical information regarding the usage result of the game object. The "statistical information" is, for example, information obtained by statisticizing numerical values relating to the usage result of the game object. For example, the number of times a game object has been used corresponds to an example of "statistical information".

For example, when the game object is a player character of a baseball game, the cumulative total of hits (or home runs, RBIs, stolen bases, wins, saves, strikeouts, etc.) corresponds to an example of "statistical information".

Further, when the game object is a player character of a soccer game, the cumulative total of points (or assists, goals, etc.) corresponds to an example of "statistical information".

When the game object is a game character that fights with an enemy, the number of defeated enemies (or the amount of damage given to the enemies, the number of specific enemies defeated, etc.) corresponds to an example of "statistical information".

The "information regarding the usage result of the game object" may be information other than the statistical information. For example, it may simply be information indicating whether or not the game object has been used.

In the case of the first and second baseball games described above, the display control unit 160 controls to display the lottery result screen image G500 on the display unit 55 of the second game terminal 50. For example, when the player character A created by the user A in the first baseball game is given to and used by a plurality of users, the second baseball played by each of the plurality of users is provided in the area A504 of the lottery result screen image G500. Information on the results of player character A in the game (number of hits, number of home runs, number of hits, number of stolen bases, number of wins, number of saves, number of strikes, etc.) is displayed as "information on the result of using player character A". ..

Next, the second reward association unit 170 will be described.

When the game character associated with the second user identification information is associated with each of the plurality of user identification information, the second reward associating unit 170 is the result recorded by the game character in the game played by each of the plurality of users. When the information regarding the above satisfies a predetermined condition, the reward is associated with at least one of the plurality of user identification information or the second user identification information.

Here, "associating a reward with the user identification information", "reward", and the like are the same as in the case of the first reward association unit 130.

The “information on the results stored in the game character” is, for example, statistical information on the results stored in the game character. Here, the "statistical information" is, for example, information obtained by statisticizing numerical values related to the results stored in the game character.

For example, in the case of a baseball game player character, the cumulative total of hits (or home runs, hit points, stolen bases, wins, saves, strikeouts, etc.) corresponds to an example of "statistical information".

Further, for example, in the case of a player character of a soccer game, the cumulative total of points (or the number of assists, goals, etc.) corresponds to an example of "statistical information".

For example, in the case of a game character that fights with an enemy, the number of defeated enemies (or the amount of damage given to the enemies, the number of specific enemies defeated, etc.) corresponds to an example of "statistical information".

The "statistical information" may be information other than the cumulative total, and the "information on the results stored in the game character" may be information other than the statistical information.

For example, in the second reward association unit 170, the information regarding the above-mentioned results can be obtained from the state where the information regarding the above-mentioned results does not satisfy the predetermined condition depending on the results obtained by the game character in the game played by one of the plurality of users. When the state changes to satisfy the predetermined condition, the reward is associated with the user identification information that identifies the one user.

For example, in the case of a player character of a baseball game, "when the information on the results stored in the game character satisfies a predetermined condition" means the number of hits (or the number of home runs, the number of hits, the number of stolen bases) of the player character. This is the case when the cumulative total of wins, saves, stolen bases, etc. reaches a predetermined value.

Further, for example, in the case of a player character of a soccer game, "when the information on the results stored in the game character satisfies a predetermined condition" means that the cumulative number of points (or the number of assists, etc.) of the player character is predetermined. When the value is reached.

Further, for example, in the case of a game character fighting with an enemy, "when the information on the results stored by the game character satisfies a predetermined condition" is given to the number of enemies (or the enemy) defeated by the game character. When the amount of damage, the number of specific enemies defeated, etc.) reaches a predetermined value.

In addition, "when the information changes from a state in which the information does not satisfy the predetermined condition to a state in which the information satisfies the predetermined condition due to the results obtained by the game character in the game played by the user" means before the user plays the game. At the time of, the information on the results did not satisfy the predetermined conditions, but the information on the results satisfies the predetermined conditions depending on the results of the user playing the game and the game character in the game. This is the case when the state changes.

In the case of the above-mentioned first and second baseball games, a clear value such as 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 is set as the above-mentioned "predetermined value" regarding the number of hits. Therefore, in a state where the player character A created by the user A in the first baseball game is given to a plurality of users including the user B in the second baseball game, the player character A in the second baseball game played by the user B. When the cumulative number of hits of the player character A changes from "1999" to "2000" as a result of hitting a hit, the second reward association unit 170 gives a reward to the user B. In this case, game items or game points that can be used in the second baseball game are given as rewards. For example, a game item or game point required for a lottery to obtain a player character is given as a reward. Further, for example, a game item that makes it easier to win the game (for example, a game item that raises the condition (condition) of the player character) is given as a reward.

In the above case, the second reward association unit 170 may also grant rewards to other users (users other than user B) among the plurality of users to which the player character A is assigned. Good.

Further, in the above case, the second reward association unit 170 may give a reward to the user A who is the creator of the player character A. In this case, a game item or game point that can be used in the first baseball game may be given as a reward.

[5. Process] Next, the process executed by the game system 1 in order to realize the functional block described above will be described.

FIG. 13 shows an example of processing executed when a user playing the first baseball game selects the processing object P317 of the registration screen image G310. When the control unit 11 of the server 10 executes the process shown in FIG. 13 according to the program, the control unit 11 functions as the selection candidate setting unit 110.

In the following, the process shown in FIG. 13 will be described assuming that the user A selects the processing object P317 of the registration screen image G310 on which the player character A is displayed. That is, it is assumed that the user A registers the player character A in the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game. It is assumed that the user ID of the user A is "U1" and the first player character ID of the player character A is "FC1".

As shown in FIG. 13, first, the control unit 31 of the first game terminal 30 transmits a lottery candidate registration request to the server 10 via the communication unit 33 (S300), and the control unit 11 of the server 10 communicates the request. Received via unit 13 (S100).

The "lottery candidate registration request" is a request for registering the player character created in the first baseball game in the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game. For example, the user ID (U1) of the user A and the first player character ID (FC1) of the player character A are transmitted from the first game terminal 30 to the server 10 as a lottery candidate registration request.

When the lottery candidate registration request is received, the control unit 11 registers the player character A, which is the target of the lottery candidate registration, in the lottery candidate list (S102).

For example, the control unit 11 accesses the first player character table TBL102 and confirms the value in the "lottery candidate flag" field of the record in which "FC1" is registered in the "first player character ID" field.

Although omitted in FIG. 13, when the value of the “lottery candidate flag” field is already “1”, the player character has already been registered in the lottery candidate list, and the control unit 11 displays a screen to that effect. The image data is transmitted to the first game terminal 30.

On the other hand, when the value of the "lottery candidate flag" field is "0", the control unit 11 updates the value of the "lottery candidate flag" field to "1". Further, the control unit 11 adds a new record to the usage result table TBL105, and registers "FC1" in the "first player character ID" field of the record. Further, the control unit 11 initially registers "regular" in the "popularity" field of the record, and registers the initial value (0) in the "nice point", "number of uses", and "results" fields of the record. ..

After the completion of step S102, the control unit 11 transmits the data of the completion screen image indicating that the registration to the lottery candidate list is completed to the first game terminal 30 via the communication unit 13 (S104), and the first game The control unit 31 of the terminal 30 receives the data via the communication unit 33 (S302). Then, based on the data, the control unit 31 displays the completion screen image on the display unit 35 (S304). The data of the completed screen image may be data indicating the completed screen image itself, or may be data indicating information necessary for generating the completed screen image.

FIG. 14 shows an example of a process executed when a user playing a second baseball game requests a lottery for a player character. When the control unit 11 of the server 10 executes the process shown in FIG. 14 according to the program, the control unit 11 functions as the selection unit 120, the game object association unit 130, and the display control unit 160. In the following, the process shown in FIG. 14 will be described on the assumption that the user B requests the lottery of the player character. The user ID of user B is "U2".

As shown in FIG. 14, first, the control unit 51 of the second game terminal 50 transmits a lottery request to the server 10 via the communication unit 53 (S500), and the control unit 11 of the server 10 sends the request to the communication unit 13. (S110).

The "lottery request" is a request to execute a lottery for giving a player character to a user. For example, the user ID (U2) of the user B who makes the lottery request is transmitted from the second game terminal 50 to the server 10 as a lottery request.

When the lottery request is received, the control unit 11 selects the player character to be given to the user B based on the lottery process (S112).

For example, the control unit 11 accesses the first player character table TBL102 and selects one of the player characters whose lottery candidate flag is "1" based on a predetermined probability. The control unit 11 may select any of the player characters registered in the usage result table TBL105 based on a predetermined probability. If there is a player character created when the user B plays the first baseball game, the player character may not be selected.

After the completion of step S112, the control unit 11 assigns the player character selected in step S112 to the user B (S114).

For example, when the first player character ID of the player character selected in step S112 is "FC1", the control unit 11 accesses the first player character table TBL102, and the player whose first player character ID is "FC1". Read information about the character.

Then, the control unit 11 adds a new record to the second player character table TBL104, and registers the read-out information in the record. At this time, the newly automatically generated second player character ID is registered in the "second player character ID" field, the user ID (U2) of user B is registered in the "holder" field, and is selected in step S112. The first player character ID (FC1) of the player character is registered in the "first player character ID" field. In this case, the information about the player character whose first player character ID is "FC1" remains in the first player character table TBL102, and a copy thereof is registered in the second player character table TBL104. That is, the player character whose first player character ID is "FC1" remains in the hands of the creator, and a copy thereof is given to the user B.

Further, the control unit 11 executes a process for consuming the game item or game point used for performing the lottery. For example, the control unit 11 accesses the second user table TBL103, for example, excludes the game item used for performing the lottery from the game items owned by the user B, or is owned by the user B. From the game points, the game points used to draw the lottery are reduced.

After the completion of step S114, the control unit 11 transmits the data of the lottery result screen image G500 indicating the information regarding the player character given to the user B in step S114 to the second game terminal 50 via the communication unit 13 (S116). ), The control unit 51 of the second game terminal 50 receives the data via the communication unit 53 (S502). Then, based on the data, the control unit 51 displays the lottery result screen image G500 on the display unit 55 (S504).

The data of the lottery result screen image G500 may be data showing the lottery result screen image G500 itself, or may be data showing information necessary for generating the lottery result screen image G500. The data of the lottery result screen image G500 is generated based on the information registered in the second player character table TBL104 and the usage result table TBL105.

FIG. 15 shows an example of the processing executed when the user playing the second baseball game selects the nice button (processing object P513) of the game screen image G510. When the control unit 11 of the server 10 executes the process shown in FIG. 15 according to the program, the control unit 11 functions as the first reward association unit 140 and the parameter update unit 150.

In the following, the process shown in FIG. 15 will be described on the assumption that the user B selects the nice button of the game screen image G510 in the scene where the player character A operated by the user B hits a hit. It is assumed that the user ID of the user B is "U2" and the second player character ID of the player character A is "SC2".

As shown in FIG. 15, first, the control unit 51 of the second game terminal 50 transmits a request for increasing nice points to the server 10 via the communication unit 53 (S510), and the control unit 11 of the server 10 makes the request. Is received via the communication unit 13 (S120).

The "request for increasing nice points" is a request for increasing the nice points of a player character. For example, the user ID (U2) of the user B who has selected the nice button and the second player character ID (SC2) of the player character A who is the target of the nice button are the servers from the second game terminal 50 as a request for increasing the nice points. It is transmitted to 10.

When the request for increasing the nice points is received, the control unit 11 increases the nice points of the player character A, which is the target of the nice button (S122).

For example, first, the control unit 11 accesses the second player character table TBL104 and acquires the first player character ID (FC1) of the player character A whose second player character ID is “SC2”. After that, the control unit 11 accesses the usage result table TBL105 and increases the nice points of the player character whose first player character ID is "FC1" by one point.

After the completion of step S122, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the increased nice point has reached a predetermined value (S124). If the increased nice point does not reach a predetermined value, the control unit 11 ends this process.

On the other hand, when the increased nice point reaches a predetermined value, the control unit 11 accesses the usage result table TBL105 and raises the popularity parameter of the player character A by one level (S126). Further, the control unit 11 gives a reward to the user who is the creator of the player character A (S128). For example, the control unit 11 accesses the first player character table TBL102 and acquires the user ID of the creator of the player character A. Then, the control unit 11 accesses the first user table TBL101, and the acquired user ID increases the value of the "game point" field of the record registered in the "user ID" field, or the "game item" of the same record. A game point or a game item is given to the creator of the player character A by adding a game item ID to the field.

The process shown in FIG. 15 may be executed every time each turn at bat of the player character is completed. Further, when the reward is given to the creator of the player character A in step S128, the creator of the player character A may be notified to that effect. For example, the next time the creator of the player character A accesses the game system 1 (the next time the creator of the player character A plays the first baseball game, etc.), a message or the like indicating that the reward has been given is output. You may try to do it. Alternatively, a message or the like indicating that the reward has been given may be sent to the address of the creator of the player character A. By doing so, the creator of the player character can be satisfied, and as a result, the creator can be motivated to further create the player character.

FIG. 16 shows an example of processing executed when a match between a user playing a second baseball game and an opponent is completed. When the control unit 11 of the server 10 executes the process shown in FIG. 16 according to the program, the control unit 11 functions as the second reward association unit 170. In the following, the process shown in FIG. 16 will be described on the assumption that the match between the user B and the opponent is completed. The user ID of user B is "U2".

As shown in FIG. 16, first, the control unit 51 of the second game terminal 50 transmits a result update request of the player character to the server 10 via the communication unit 53 (S520), and the control unit 11 of the server 10 makes the request. Is received via the communication unit 13 (S130).

The "player character performance update request" updates the performance data of the player character who participated in the game (for example, the number of hits, the number of home runs, the number of hits, the number of stolen bases, the number of wins, the number of saves, or the cumulative number of strikeouts). It demands that. For example, the user ID (U2) of the user B who played the game, the second player character ID of the player character who participated in the game, and the results (number of hits, etc.) that the player character who participated in the game received in the game are the players. As a character result update request, it is transmitted from the second game terminal 50 to the server 10. In the following, it will be described on the assumption that a request for updating the results of the player character A who participated in the game is received. The second player character ID of the player character A is "SC2".

When the result update request of the player character A is received, the control unit 11 updates the result data of the player character A (S132).

For example, first, the control unit 11 accesses the second player character table TBL104 and acquires the first player character ID (FC1) of the player character A whose second player character ID is “SC2”. After that, the control unit 11 accesses the usage result table TBL105 and updates the performance data (number of hits, etc.) of the player character A whose first player character ID is “FC1”. For example, when the player character A hits two hits in a match, 2 is added to the number of hits of the player character A.

After the completion of step S132, the control unit 11 determines whether or not any of the number of hits of the player character A has reached a predetermined value (S134). The "predetermined value" here is, for example, a sharp value such as 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 in the case of the number of hits.

When any of the number of hits of the player character A reaches a predetermined value, the control unit 11 gives a reward to the user B who is the user of the player character A (S136). For example, the control unit 11 accesses the second user table TBL103, and "U2" increases the value of the "game point" field of the record registered in the "user ID" field, or the "game item" field of the same record. A game point or a game item is given to the user B by adding a game item ID to the user B.

After the completion of step S136, the control unit 11 communicates to the second game terminal 50 the data of the notification screen image for notifying the user B of the updated performance data of each player character and the granting of the reward to the user B. The data is transmitted via the unit 13 (S138), and the control unit 51 of the second game terminal 50 receives the data via the communication unit 53 (S522). Then, based on the data, the control unit 51 displays the notification screen image on the display unit 55 (S524). The data of the notification screen image may be data indicating the notification screen image itself, or may be data indicating information necessary for generating the notification screen image.

In the game system 1 described above, the player character created by the user who played the first baseball game is a lottery candidate list of the second baseball game (a player character that can be given to the user who plays the second baseball game by lottery). It is registered in the list of candidates). As a result, the lineup of the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game changes even if the game provider does not create a new player character. Therefore, according to the game system 1, it is possible to change the lineup of the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game while suppressing an increase in the burden on the game provider.

Further, in the game system 1, when requested by the user, the player character created by the user in the first baseball game is registered in the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game. By doing so, the user can select whether or not to register the player character created by the user in the lottery candidate list.

Further, in the game system 1, when the player character A created by the user A in the first baseball game is given to another user in the second baseball game, the user A who is the creator of the player character is given under predetermined conditions. Give a reward. By doing so, the user of the first baseball game is motivated to register the player character created by himself / herself in the lottery candidate list of the second baseball game, and many nice points are given from other users. It can be motivated to create a player character that can be obtained.

Further, in the game system 1, the cumulative number of hits of the player character A is a predetermined value (for example, 500, 1000, 1500) because the player character A used by the user B hits a hit in the match between the user B and the opponent. , 2000, etc.), a reward is given to user B. By doing so, it is possible to motivate the user of the second game to play the game by using the player character.

Further, in the game system 1, the user refers to the areas A504, A507, and A508 of the lottery result screen image G500, so that the player character given by the lottery is evaluated and popular by other users who use the player character. , It is possible to grasp how active the player character is when it is used by another user. That is, the user can infer from this information whether or not the player character given by the lottery is likely to be useful and whether or not the player character can be expected to play an active role.

Further, in the game system 1, cooperation between the first baseball game and the second baseball game is realized. As a result, for example, a user who has played the first baseball game can be urged to play the second baseball game, or a user who has played the first baseball game can be urged to play the second baseball game as well. ..

That is, it is possible to encourage the user who has played the first baseball game provided by the smartphone (mobile phone) to also play the second game provided by the arcade game machine installed in the amusement facility or the like. In general, smartphone games can be played anytime and anywhere, regardless of time or place, whereas games such as amusement facilities are actually played at amusement facilities during business hours of amusement facilities. You have to go and there are place and time restrictions for the user. Therefore, if the game contents are similar, the user tends to play the game on the smartphone rather than the game facility, which is one of the causes of the decrease in the customer attraction rate at the game facility. In this regard, according to the game system 1, the user can be motivated to play the game at a play facility or the like.

[6. Modifications] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above.

[6-1] The nice button (processing object P513) may be displayed on the replay screen image for displaying the replay image or the match result screen image displayed after the match is completed. By doing so, the user may be able to select the nice button while watching the replay video, or select the nice button while watching the match result.

[6-2] Lottery result screen image A screen image including the display content of the area A504 of the G500 is displayed on the first game terminal 30 (or the second game terminal 50) of the user who is the creator of the player character. May be good. By doing so, the user who is the creator of the player character can know whether or not the player character created by himself / herself is useful (whether or not he / she is active) in the game played by another user. You may do so.

[6-3] In the first baseball game, a user may form a baseball team using a player character created by himself / herself so that he / she can play against an opponent.

In this case, the parameter update unit 150 evaluates the player character A by the user B when the player character A created by the user A in the first baseball game is selected by the selection unit 120 and given to the user B. Or, based on the user B's use result of the player character A), the parameters of the player character A used in the first baseball game (for example, the basic ability parameter or the special ability parameter stored in the first player character table TBL102). May be updated. By doing so, the ability of the player character A used by the user A in the first baseball game may be improved based on the evaluation of the player character A by the user B in the second baseball game. ..

[6-4] Both the first baseball game and the second baseball game may be executed on one game terminal. Further, each of the first baseball game and the second baseball game does not have to be a separate game, but may be a part of a certain game. That is, a part of one baseball game executed by one game program may be the first baseball game, and the other part may be the second baseball game.

[6-5] In the above, an example in which the present invention is applied to a game based on baseball has been mainly described, but the present invention can also be applied to other games. That is, the present invention can be applied to games other than baseball. The subject matter may be different between the first game and the second game.

The present invention is a game in which "at least one of a plurality of selection candidate game objects is selected as a game object to be given to a user based on a predetermined lottery process, and the selected game object is given to the user. It is possible to apply to. For example, in the present invention, "a game character selected from a plurality of selection candidate game characters based on a lottery process is given to a user, and a team (group, etc.) is formed by using the game character given by the user. "A game that you build and play against your opponent" or "A game card selected from multiple selection candidate game cards based on the lottery process is given to the user, and the game card given by the user is given to the user. It can be applied to "games where you use it to build a deck and play against your opponent."
