In this case, depending on the selection of the user D, a virtual battle is performed between the transferred character C1 and the virtual character C4 of the user D. When the character C1 is defeated, the character C1 cannot continue to transfer to the user D as it is, and transfers to the user E (transfer 4). This time, depending on the selection of the user E, a virtual battle is performed between the transferred character C1 and the virtual character C5 of the user E. If the character C1 wins, the character C1 continues to transfer to the user E as it is. Then, the user E virtually takes the virtual character C5 and the transferred character C1 and moves to an arbitrary position in the real world (movement 3). When the second period elapses from the first transfer (transfer 1), the transfer is terminated and the user returns to the original user A.

In the above application, in this application, the virtual character C1 of the user A can be repeatedly transferred to various users in the wake of various events. In addition, it is possible to change the ability value of the character C1 according to the distance traveled together with the transferred user (for example, the cumulative total of movements 1 to 3) at the transfer destination.

That is, in the above application, from the viewpoint of user A, it is possible to make character C1, which is its own virtual character, make a so-called "journey" together with other users, and strengthen character C1 by the distance of the "journey". it can.

In the above application, the transfer is selected by user A (transfer 1 and 3), the first period elapses from the time when the current transfer (transfer 1) is performed (transfer 2), and the battle between virtual characters (transfer 4). ), But of course it is not limited to these.

In the above application, "transfer", "virtual transfer" and the like are performed. This corresponds to the user identification information of the transfer destination user by copying or overwriting the character ID of the character stored in association with the user identification information of the transfer source user in the user information table. It means to attach and memorize. When the character is transferred again from the "transfer destination user" to the "new transfer destination user", the character ID associated with the user identification information of the "transfer destination user" is completely deleted. It may be left as it is associated with it.

4. Information stored in the memory of the server device 200 FIG. 5a is a diagram conceptually showing a user information table stored in the server device 200 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. As an example, the user information table is stored in the HDD in the memory 211 of the server device 200.

According to FIG. 5a, the user name, application currency, character, transfer destination, and location information are stored in association with the user ID (user identification information). The "user ID (user identification information)" is unique information given to each user and is information for identifying each user. "User name information" indicates a name used by each user in the application. “Application currency information” indicates at least the amount of virtual currency that can be used in the application according to the present embodiment. The application currency decreases when you purchase items such as characters and character equipment while the application is in progress, and can be newly earned as you pay in real-world currency or as the application progresses. The "character" is one of the "items" in the present embodiment, and the "character ID (character identification information)" indicates information for identifying the character. The character specified by the character ID can be operated by inputting instructions from a user having a user ID associated with the character ID. The “transfer destination information” indicates the current transfer destination of the character associated with the user ID. Specifically, since the character C1 of the user A in FIG. 5a is transferred to the user D, the user ID (U4) of the user D is stored in association with the character C1. The information is updated from time to time as each transfer occurs. "Location information" is information indicating the current location of each user. The information is updated as needed by receiving the current position information detected by each terminal device. Further, the information is used when calculating the "distance information" of the character.

The "character ID" is unique information given to each character, and is information for identifying each character. "Attack power" is one of the ability values, and is a parameter used to calculate the damage given to the opponent character or the like when the character attacks. "Defense power" is a parameter used to calculate the damage caused by an attack from an opponent character. The "hit point" is a parameter that is subtracted by a predetermined amount according to the damage given. When the hit point of the character becomes zero, it means that the unit game is treated as "defeat", the use of the character is restricted, and the like. "Resilience" is a parameter used to calculate the amount of recovery when recovering the subtracted hit points. The "number of times information" indicates the number of times the character has transferred to another user. Once the transfer is complete, it returns to zero. The “time information” indicates the period after the character is associated with the user currently stored as the transfer destination information in FIG. 5a. That is, the time information is reset to zero each time a new user ID is associated with the transfer destination information, and counting starts from zero. The "total time information" indicates the period since the character was first associated with another user ID. That is, once the transition is complete, the total time information is reset to zero, and when a new transition begins, counting starts from zero. The "distance information" is calculated based on the current position information of the user to whom the character has transferred, specifically, the current position information (FIG. 5a) measured by the terminal device held by the transferred user, and is calculated based on the character. The distance traveled by the user during the transfer is accumulated. The distance information is accumulated until the first transition is performed and the transition is completed. That is, when the character is sequentially transferred to a plurality of users and then the transfer is completed, the total movement distance of each user is stored as distance information.

For example, if the user B is transferred to the user B but the user B does not execute the application according to the present embodiment at all, the character C1 will continue to be transferred to the user B. However, when the first period elapses, it is possible to increase the chances of transfer and enhance the taste by forcibly transferring to another user.

According to FIG. 6b, the processor 212 of the server device 200 periodically refers to the character information table and checks whether or not there is a character whose first period has passed. Then, when it is confirmed that the character C1 has passed the first period (S21), the processor 212 selects a new transfer destination (S22). The selection of the new transfer destination may be made by a random lottery by the processor 212. Alternatively, user B or user A may select from other users who are within a predetermined range from user B who is currently transferred. That is, other users may be selected, and any method may be used. In the example of FIG. 6b, the case where the user C is selected by a random lottery by the processor 212 is shown.

When the user C is selected as a new transfer destination by the processor 212 of the server device 200, the processor 212 associates the character C1 associated with the user ID (U1) of the user A with the user ID of the user C. Update the user information table to remember. After that, in the terminal device 100-1 of the user A who is the owner of the character C1 and the terminal device 100-3 of the user C which is the new transfer destination of the character C1, the processor 112 of each terminal device starts the application. It is controlled to display the transfer information at the timing (S23 to S25, and S26 to S28). Since the processing is the same as S16 to S18 in FIG. 6a, the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 6c is a diagram showing a processing sequence between the terminal device 100 and the server device 200 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 6c shows the processing sequence when the transition 3 in FIG. 1a is performed. That is, the terminal device 100-1 of FIG. 6c shows the terminal device held by the user A, and the terminal device 100-4 shows the terminal device held by the user D. The terminal device 100-3 held by the user C is not shown.

The transfer 3 is executed, for example, when the user A wants to transfer to more various users without waiting for the first period. That is, the transfer 3 is performed by associating the character C1 associated with the user ID (U3) of the user C with the user ID (U4) of another user (user D) by inputting an instruction from the user A. To.

According to FIG. 6c, when the application is started in the terminal device 100-1 (S31), the user ID is transmitted to the server device 200 (T31). When the server device 200 receives the user ID, the processor 212 of the server device 200 controls to refer to the user information table (S32), and transmits the user information corresponding to the user ID to the terminal device 100-1 (T32). The processor 112 of the terminal device 100-1 displays the character selection screen on the display 111 based on the received user information (S33). Then, when the character C1 which is its own character is selected on the character selection screen, the processor 112 displays the map screen of the user C who is the current transfer destination on the display 111 of the terminal device 100-1.

FIG. 11c is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display 111 of the terminal device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 11c is a diagram showing an example of a character selection screen displayed on the terminal device 100-1 in S13. According to FIG. 11c, the current transfer destination information (“transferring to user C”) is displayed in association with the image 15a of the character C1. In addition, images 15b and 15c of other characters transferred from other users and associated with their own user IDs are displayed. The user A can display the map screen of the user C by selecting the image 15a of his / her character C1. The user can switch to the map screen and display it by tapping the map screen icon 19. In addition, the character selection screen icon is also displayed on the map screen, and by tapping the icon, it is possible to switch to the character selection screen and display it.

FIG. 11d is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display 111 of the terminal device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 11d is a diagram showing an example of a map screen of user C displayed on the terminal device 100-1. According to FIG. 11d, other users in the vicinity of the current location of the user C are superimposed and displayed on the map 10 centering on the current location icon 11 indicating the current location of the user C. Further, the image 15a of the character C1 of the user A is displayed on the character tray. User A selects another user to be transferred by tapping the image 15a of his / her character C1 on the map screen of user C and dragging it onto the user icon 12 of the other user to be transferred. Can be done. Since the user A can operate only his / her own character C1 on the map screen of the user C, the information of other characters associated with the user C is not displayed (the trays of 15b and 15c are displayed blank). Will be).

Returning to FIG. 6c again, when another user (user D) around the user C is selected by the user A on the map screen (FIG. 11d) centered on the user C (S34), the terminal device 100-1 Processor 112 transmits the user ID of the selected user D to the server device 200 (T33). When the server device 200 receives the user ID of the user D, the processor 212 of the server device 200 stores the character C1 associated with the user ID (U1) of the user A in association with the user ID (U4) of the user D. Update the user information table to do so. After that, the terminal device 100-4 of the user D, which is the new transfer destination of the character C1, is controlled to display the transfer information (T34) at the timing when the application is started (S36 to S38). Since the processing is the same as S16 to S18 in FIG. 6a, the description thereof will be omitted.

[Transition 4 in FIG. 1a]
FIG. 6d is a diagram showing a processing sequence between the terminal device 100 and the server device 200 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 6d shows the processing sequence when the transition 4 in FIG. 1a is performed. That is, the terminal device 100-1 of FIG. 6d is a terminal device held by the user A, the terminal device 100-4 is a terminal device held by the user D, and the terminal device 100-5 is a terminal held by the user E. Shows the device.

The transfer 4 is executed, for example, when the user D plays against the character C1 of the user A in the terminal device 100-4 that has been notified that the character C1 of the user A has been transferred. According to FIG. 6d, when the application is started in the terminal device 100-4 (S41), the user ID (U4) is transmitted to the server device 200 (T41). When the server device 200 receives the user ID (U4), the processor 212 of the server device 200 controls to refer to the user information table (S42), and receives the user information (including transfer information) corresponding to the user ID (U4). It is transmitted to the terminal device 100-4 (T42). Then, the transfer information is displayed on the terminal device 100-4 of the user D. The process from S41 until the transfer information is displayed is the same as the process of S36 to S38 in FIG. 6c.

When the transfer information is displayed, the battle with the character C1 is selected by the user D (S43), and the battle process is performed by the terminal device 100-4 and the server device 200 (S44). Although details of the battle processing are not described, various battle processing such as breakout, puzzle, sports, and battle can be applied as desired. Further, the character C1 which is the opponent of the character C4 which is the character of the user D may be operated by the computer, or may be operated by the user A if the timing is right.

FIG. 11e is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display 111 of the terminal device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 11e is a diagram showing an example of a map screen displayed on the terminal device 100-4. According to FIG. 11e, other users around the current location of the user D are superimposed and displayed on the map 10 centering on the current location icon 11 indicating the current location of the user D. Further, an image 15a of the character C4 of the user D, an image 15b of the character C1 of the user A currently transferred, and an image 15c of another character are displayed on the character tray. When the user D taps the image 15b of the character C1 of the user A on the map screen, the battle icon 16 is displayed. At this time, when the user D drags the image 15b of the character C1 to the battle icon 16, the battle between the character C1 and the character C4, which is his / her own character, is selected as described in S43. On the other hand, when the user D drags to the user icon 12 of another user in the vicinity of the user D, the user corresponding to the user icon 12 is selected as a new transfer destination of the character C1.

Returning to FIG. 6d again, when the battle process of S44 is completed, the battle result information (T43) is transmitted from the terminal device 100-4 to the server device 200. In FIG. 6d, the defeat of the character C1 is transmitted as the battle result information. When the server device 200 receives the battle result information indicating the defeat of the character C1, the processor 212 of the server device 200 selects a new transfer destination of the character C1 (S45). The selection of the new transfer destination may be made by a random lottery by the processor 212, may be made by the selection by the user D who is currently transferring, or the user A is notified and the user A is selected. May be done by. That is, other users may be selected, and any method may be used. In the example of FIG. 6d, a case where the user E is selected by a random lottery by the processor 212 is shown.

Then, when the user E is selected as the new transfer destination, the processor 212 of the server device 200 associates the character C1 associated with the user ID (U1) of the user A with the user ID (U5) of the user E. The user information table is updated so that it can be stored (S46). In the present embodiment, as a privilege that the user D wins the battle with the character C1, the virtual currency that can be used in the application is given to the user D, or the character C1 that is the opponent is drawn by the user. It is possible to give it as D's own character. Therefore, the processor 212 updates the user information table according to the given privilege (S46). Further, the processor 212 transmits the information indicating the given privilege to the terminal device 100-4 as the effect information (T44). When the terminal device 100-4 receives the effect information, the processor 112 of the terminal device 100-4 displays the battle result effect for notifying the user D of the privilege on the display 111 (S47).

In FIG. 6d, the processing after the character C1 is transferred to the new transfer destination is also shown, but the processing of S48 to S50 and the processing of S51 to S53 are the same as those of S16 to S18 of FIG. 6a. The description thereof will be omitted.

[Competition processing in user E in FIG. 1a]
FIG. 6e is a diagram showing a processing sequence between the terminal device 100 and the server device 200 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 6e shows a battle processing sequence performed by the user E of FIG. 1a. That is, the terminal device 100-1 of FIG. 6e shows the terminal device held by the user A, and the terminal device 100-5 shows the terminal device held by the user E.

The processing is started by starting the application in the terminal device 100-5, but the processing of S61 to S64 is the same as the processing of S41 to S44 of FIG. 6d, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

When the battle process of S64 is completed, the battle result information is transmitted from the terminal device 100-5 to the server device 200 (T63). In FIG. 6e, the victory of the character C1 is transmitted as the battle result information. If the character C1 wins, it is possible to continue to transfer to the user who played against it. Therefore, when the server device 200 receives the battle result information indicating the victory of the character C1, the processor 212 of the server device 200 does not select a new transfer destination of the character C1 and the transfer destination of the character C1 of the user A. No information is updated. On the other hand, since the user E who has played the battle is given a privilege according to the battle, the processor 212 updates the user information table according to the given privilege (S65). Further, the processor 212 transmits the information indicating the given privilege to the terminal device 100-5 as the effect information (T64). When the terminal device 100-5 receives the effect information, the processor 112 of the terminal device 100-5 displays the battle result effect for notifying the user E of the privilege on the display 111 (S66).

In FIG. 6e, when the user A, who is the original user of the character C1 in the terminal device 100-1, starts the application (S67), it is possible to know the current transfer destination of the character C1. However, since the processing of S67 to S69 is the same as that of S16 to S18 of FIG. 6a, the description thereof will be omitted.

[Process to end the transfer in FIG. 1a]
FIG. 6f is a diagram showing a processing sequence between the terminal device 100 and the server device 200 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 6f shows the processing sequence at the end of the transition in FIG. 1a. That is, the terminal device 100-1 of FIG. 6f shows the terminal device held by the user A, and the terminal device 100-5 shows the terminal device held by the user E.

The end of the transfer is performed to return the character C1 to the original user A when the second period elapses after the first transfer (transfer 1) is performed. According to FIG. 6f, the processor 212 of the server device 200 periodically references the character information table and elapses a second period from the first transfer, i.e., first associated with another user's user ID. It is checked whether or not the character that has been used does not exist (S71). Then, when the second period has elapsed from the first transfer of the character C1 (transfer 1), that is, after the character C1 is first associated with the user ID of another user including the user B, the transfer is performed. finish. Specifically, the processor 212 stores the user ID (U5) of the user E as the transfer destination information of the character C1, but deletes the user ID (U5) of the user E from the transfer destination information (S72). That is, the processor 212 cancels all the associations between the user other than the user A who is the original owner of the character C1 and the character C1.

When each user starts the application in the terminal device 100-1 and the terminal device 100-5, the transfer information is displayed based on the information updated in S72. Since the processes of S73 to S75 and the processes of S76 to S78 performed at this time are the same as those of S16 to S18 of FIG. 6a, the description thereof will be omitted. In FIG. 6f, since the processing is performed when the transfer is completed, information indicating the end of the transfer is transmitted and displayed as the transfer information. The contents displayed at this time will be described later.

FIG. 12a is a diagram conceptually showing a user information table stored in the server device 200 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, it is a figure which shows the user information table after the user information is updated in S72 of FIG. 6f. Compared with the character information table of FIG. 5a in which U4 is stored as the transfer destination information of the character C1, in FIG. 12a, the user ID of the transfer destination is deleted from the transfer destination information as the transfer is completed. .. Therefore, in the transfer information transmitted in T72 and T74, the transfer destination information is transmitted as "blank".

6. The processing flow of the terminal device 100 FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a processing flow executed in the terminal device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 7 shows a processing flow in which the processor 112 reads an instruction instruction (program) for executing the application according to the present embodiment from the memory 119 and executes the terminal device 100.

According to FIG. 7, the processing flow is started by the processor 112 starting the application and transmitting the user ID to the server device 200 in response to the instruction input from the user (S101). After that, when the user information including the transfer information is received from the server device 200 (S102), the map screen illustrated in FIG. 11a or the character selection screen illustrated in FIG. 11c is displayed based on the received user information. Then, the processor 112 selects the character to be transferred by the user in response to the instruction input from the user (S103). Next, the processor 112 determines whether or not the selected character is its own user character, that is, whether or not it is a character stored in the "character ID" of FIG. 5a (S104). If it is not the character, it means that the character transferred from another user has been selected. Therefore, the processor 112 selects whether or not to perform a battle process between its own character and the character in response to an instruction input from the user (FIG. 11b) (S105). If a match is selected here, the process proceeds to the match process (FIG. 8). On the other hand, when it is determined in S104 that its own user character has been selected, the processor 112 refers to the "transfer destination" information in FIG. 5a to determine whether or not the character has already been transferred ( S107).

If no match is selected in S105, or if the character has not already been transferred in S107, the processor 112 displays a map screen (FIG. 11a) centered on its current position information (S106). .. On the other hand, if the character has already been transferred in S107, the processor 112 displays a map screen (FIG. 11d) centered on the current position information of the transfer destination user (S108). Next, the processor 112 determines whether or not there is another user within a predetermined range from itself on its own map image screen, or whether or not there is another user within a predetermined range from the transfer destination user on the map screen of the transfer destination user. Confirm whether or not (S109). Then, when there is no other user, the processor 112 ends a series of processes without performing the processes after S110. On the other hand, when there is another user, the position of that user is superimposed and displayed on the map screen, and the processor 112 accepts the selection of the user to be the transfer destination of the character selected in S103 (S110). Then, the processor 112 controls to transmit the user ID of the selected transfer destination user to the server device 200, and ends a series of processes. (S111).

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a processing flow executed in the terminal device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 8 shows a battle processing flow in which the processor 112 reads an instruction instruction (program) for executing the application according to the present embodiment from the memory 119 and executes the terminal device 100.

The processing flow is started when a match is selected in S105 of FIG. First, when a battle is selected, the battle conditions and the like are selected, and the battle game is executed (S201). The details of the processing during the battle game will be omitted. If the user's character wins (the transferred character is defeated) as a result of executing the battle game (S202), the processor 112 provides information indicating that the user's character has won (the transferred character is defeated) as the battle result information. It is controlled to transmit to the server device 200 (S203). On the other hand, when the character of the user is defeated (the transferred character wins), the processor 112 controls to transmit the information indicating the defeat (the transferred character wins) to the server device 200 as the battle result information. (S204). Then, a privilege corresponding to the battle result information transmitted by the server device 200 is selected, and the processor 112 controls to receive the effect information including the privilege information (S205). Next, the processor 112 displays the effect of the battle result on the display 111 based on the received effect information, and ends the series of processes (S206).

7. The processing flow of the server device 200 FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a processing flow executed by the server device 200 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 9 shows a processing flow in which the processor 212 reads an instruction instruction (program) for executing the application according to the present embodiment from the memory 211 and executes the instruction instruction (program).

The processing flow shown in FIG. 9 shows the processing flow executed in the transition 2 and FIG. 6b of FIG. 1a. The processing flow is executed by the processor 212 at a predetermined cycle. The processing flow is started by first referring to the character information table stored in the memory 211 by the processor 212 (S301). Next, the processor 212 refers to the "time information" in the character information table, and confirms whether or not the time information includes time information that exceeds a predetermined first period (S302). If there is no time information exceeded, the processor 212 ends the processing flow. On the other hand, when there is excess time information, the processor 212 identifies the character associated with the time information and selects a new transfer destination of the character (S303). Then, in addition to updating the user information associated with the character, the processor 212 controls to reset the time information of the character and ends a series of processes (S304).

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a processing flow executed in the server device 200 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 10 shows a processing flow in which the processor 212 reads an instruction instruction (program) for executing the application according to the present embodiment from the memory 211 and executes the instruction instruction (program).

The processing flow shown in FIG. 10 shows the end of the transfer of FIG. 1a and the processing flow executed in FIG. 6f. The processing flow is executed by the processor 212 at a predetermined cycle. The processing flow is started by first referring to the character information table stored in the memory 211 by the processor 212 (S401). Next, the processor 212 refers to the "total time information" of the character information table, and confirms whether or not the total time information includes the total time information exceeding the predetermined second period (S402). ). If there is no total time information exceeded, the processor 212 ends the processing flow. On the other hand, when there is excess total time information, the processor 212 identifies the character associated with the total time information and reads out the "number of times information" and "distance information" of the character, respectively (S403). ..

Here, the "number of times information" indicates the number of times the character has transferred to another user. Further, the "distance information" indicates the total value of the distances traveled while each transferred user is transferred to the character when the transfer is completed after the character is sequentially transferred to a plurality of users. .. In the present embodiment, the ability value of the transferred character is changed according to the number of times information and the distance information (S404). As an example, the greater the number of transfers, the greater the ability value of the transferred character. In addition, the character that has moved and moved a larger distance increases its ability value. The processor 212 updates each ability value in the character information table based on the changed ability value (S405).

In the example of FIG. 1a, the character C1 has undergone four transitions: transition 1, transition 2, transition 3 and transition 4. Further, while these transitions are being performed, the character C1 moves 1 together with the user B, moves 2 together with the user C, and moves 3 together with the user E, and moves 640 km in total. Therefore, as an example, the processor 212 fluctuates each ability value of the character according to the following arithmetic expression prepared in advance.
・ Attack power = Attack power before transfer x number of times ・ Defense power = Defense power before transfer x number of times ・ Recovery power = Recovery power before transfer + distance / number of times ・ Hit point = Hit point before transfer + distance x 0.5

The above calculation formula is merely an example, and the ability value may be increased or decreased according to the distance traveled and / or the number of transitions.

FIG. 12b is a diagram conceptually showing a character information table stored in the server device 200 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, the character information table after being updated by the process according to FIG. 10 is shown. With reference to FIG. 12b, each ability value is updated and stored based on the four transfers of the character C1 and the total distance (640 km) traveled with the transfer destination user during that period. In addition, once the transfer is completed, the number of times information, the time information, the total time information, and the distance information are reset.

Returning to FIG. 10 again, when the character information table is updated, the processor 212 updates the user information table (S406). Here, since the transfer of the character ends with the lapse of the second period, the processor 212 resets the transfer destination information of the user information table and ends a series of processes.

FIG. 11f is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display 111 of the terminal device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, it is an example of a screen displayed based on user information including transfer information transmitted to the terminal device 100-1 of user A after the processing flow according to FIG. 10 is executed. With reference to FIG. 11f, a display 17 indicating that the transfer has been completed is performed together with the overall image of the character C1 which is the character of the user A. The display includes information on the number of transfers and the total distance traveled. In addition, as each ability value information of the character C1, the increased amount is also displayed together with the changed ability value.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the virtual character of the user can be repeatedly transferred to another user at a certain opportunity. In addition, it is possible to change the ability value of the character according to the distance traveled together with the transferred user at the transferred destination. That is, from the viewpoint of the transfer source user, the character C1 can be strengthened by making the virtual character of the transfer source make a so-called "journey" together with other users, and the distance traveled. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a server device, a program, or a method for executing a new application using a predetermined item and its parameter value, which is more tasteful.

<Second Embodiment>
In the first embodiment, the case where the end of metastasis is made by the passage of the second period has been described. In the second embodiment, a case where the transfer is terminated according to the result of the battle will be described. The present embodiment is the same as the configuration, processing, and procedure in the first embodiment except for the points specifically described below. Therefore, detailed description of these matters will be omitted.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a processing flow executed in the server device 200 according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 13 shows a processing flow in which the processor 212 reads an instruction instruction (program) for executing the application according to the present embodiment from the memory 211 and executes the instruction instruction (program).

The processing flow of FIG. 13 is started when the server device 200 receives the information on the battle result shown in FIG. 8 from the terminal device 100 (S501). When the battle result information is received, the processor 212 performs the processing after S503 without transferring to another user when the battle result information indicates the defeat of the transferred character (S502). End the metastasis. Specifically, the processor 212 refers to the character information table of the defeated character (S503), and reads out the "number of times information" and the "distance information" of the character, respectively (S403). The subsequent processing is the same as that of S403 to S406 in FIG. 10, and the description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, in addition to the same effect as that of the first embodiment, the end of the transfer can be determined by the battle, and it is possible to give the user a higher taste.

<Other Embodiments>
