FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a music table. In FIG. 9, white circles indicate that they are associated, and bars indicate that they are not associated.

In the music table, as shown in FIG. 9, the music ID is associated with the music name (not shown), music video type, music classification, number of people, position (not shown), character ID, costume ID, and the like. It is a thing. The music ID is a unique ID associated with one music data.

The music video type is information indicating the type (type) of the music video. For example, among the music video types, "3D" indicates the above-mentioned 3D rich music video, 3D standard music video, and 3D lightweight music video. Further, "2D rich" indicates a 2D rich music video. "2D standard" indicates a 2D standard music video.

The music classification is information indicating which of the three music video types is associated with the music ID. The music classification "A" indicates that the music video type "3D", the music video type "2D rich", and the music video type "2D standard" are all associated with each other.

The music ID associated with the music video type "3D" is associated with a 3D rich music video, a 3D standard music video, and a 3D lightweight music video.

The music classification "B" indicates that the music video type "2D rich" and the music video type "2D standard" are associated with each other. The music classification "C" indicates that only the music video type "2D standard" is associated.

The number of people is information indicating the number of characters to appear in the music video. The position is information indicating the position of the character displayed in the music video.

The character ID is information indicating a character to appear in a music video. The costume ID is information indicating the costume of the character to appear in the music video.

In the music table, the music name, music video type, music classification, and number of people are associated with all music IDs, but the character ID and costume ID are associated with only some music IDs. Has been done.

For example, the music ID "aaaaaa" is associated with music video types "3D", "2D rich", "2D standard", music classification "A", and the number of people "5", and the character ID and Costume IDs are not associated.

On the other hand, the music ID "AAAAA" corresponds to the music video types "3D", "2D rich", "2D standard", the music classification "A", the number of people "5", and the character ID and costume ID. It is attached. Hereinafter, the music ID to which the character ID or the costume ID is associated is referred to as an original music ID.

Further, the server 100 holds a music classification determination table in which music selection condition information and music classification are associated with each other. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a music classification determination table. In FIG. 10, white circles indicate that they are associated, and bars indicate that they are not associated. In the music classification determination table, as shown in FIG. 10, the music classification "A", the music classification "B", and the music classification "C" are associated with the music selection condition information "all permitted music selection information". .. The music classification "A" and the music classification "B" are associated with the music selection condition information "2D rich music selection information". Only the music classification "A" is associated with the music selection condition information "3D music selection information".

The server 100 determines the music classification by referring to the music classification determination table based on the music selection condition information included in the received setting information. Subsequently, the server 100 extracts the music ID associated with the determined music classification as a reproduction candidate from the music table, and creates a playlist.

FIG. 11A is a diagram illustrating an example of a playlist created when all permitted song selection information is received. FIG. 11B is a diagram illustrating an example of a playlist created when 2D rich music selection information is received. FIG. 11C is a diagram illustrating an example of a playlist created when 3D music selection information is received.

For example, when the server 100 receives the music selection condition information "all permitted music selection information", the server 100 determines the music classification "A", the music classification "B", and the music classification "C" with reference to the music classification determination table. .. Then, as shown in FIG. 11A, the server 100 is associated with the music ID associated with the music classification "A", the music ID associated with the music classification "B", and the music classification "C". The music ID is extracted from the music table to create a playback list.

Further, when the server 100 receives the music selection condition information "2D rich music selection information", the server 100 determines the music classification "A" and the music classification "B" with reference to the music classification determination table. Then, as shown in FIG. 11B, the server 100 extracts the music ID associated with the music classification "A" and the music ID associated with the music classification "B" from the music table as playlists. Create a playlist.

Further, when the server 100 receives the music selection condition information "3D music selection information", the server 100 determines the music classification "A" with reference to the music classification determination table. Then, as shown in FIG. 11C, the server 100 extracts only the music IDs associated with the music classification "A" from the music table as playback candidates, and creates a playlist.

Here, the playlist also serves as a lottery table. That is, here, a lottery table in which a number is assigned to each extracted music ID is generated as a playlist. Then, the server 100 determines the music ID of 1 from the created playlist by lottery. Here, it is assumed that the same number is assigned to all the extracted music IDs in the lottery table, and the selection probabilities of the music IDs are set to be equal. However, the number assigned by the music ID may be different, and the selection probability may be different for each music ID.

Subsequently, the server 100 determines the music video type with reference to the music video type determination table based on the determined music ID and the priority operation information of the received setting information.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a music video type determination table. In FIG. 12, white circles indicate that they are associated, and bars indicate that they are not associated. In the music video type determination table, the music video type is associated with the music classification and the priority operation information. For example, the music video type "3D" is associated with the music classification "A" and the "3D priority operation information". A music video type "2D rich" is associated with the music classification "A" and "2D rich priority operation information". A music video type "2D standard" is associated with the music classification "A" and "2D standard priority operation information".

A music video type "2D rich" is associated with the music classification "B" and "3D priority operation information". A music video type "2D rich" is associated with the music classification "B" and "2D rich priority operation information". A music video type "2D standard" is associated with the music classification "B" and "2D standard priority operation information".

In the music classification "C", the music video type "2D standard" is associated with the music video type "2D standard" regardless of the priority operation information.

When the server 100 determines the music ID of the music classification A by lottery and the priority operation information of the received setting information is "3D priority operation information", the server 100 refers to the music video type determination table and makes a music video. Determine the type "3D". When the server 100 determines the music ID of the music classification A by lottery and the priority operation information of the received setting information is "2D rich priority operation information", the server 100 refers to the music video type determination table and makes music. Determine the video type "2D rich". When the server 100 determines the music ID of the music classification A by lottery and the priority operation information of the received setting information is "2D standard priority operation information", the server 100 refers to the music video type determination table and makes music. Determine the video type "2D standard".

Further, when the server 100 determines the music ID of the music classification B by lottery and the priority operation information of the received setting information is "3D priority operation information", the server 100 refers to the music video type determination table and refers to the music video type determination table. Determine the music video type "2D rich". When the server 100 determines the music ID of the music classification B by lottery and the priority operation information of the received setting information is "2D rich priority operation information", the server 100 refers to the music video type determination table and makes music. Determine the video type "2D rich". When the server 100 determines the music ID of the music classification B by lottery and the priority operation information of the received setting information is "2D standard priority operation information", the server 100 refers to the music video type determination table and makes music. Determine the video type "2D standard".

Further, when the server 100 determines the music ID of the music classification C by lottery, the server 100 refers to the music video type determination table and refers to the music video type "2D standard" regardless of the priority operation information of the received setting information. To decide.

In this way, the server 100 determines the music ID and the music video type of the music video corresponding to the music ID based on the music table, the music classification determination table, and the music video type determination table.

Then, the server 100 determines the character (object) and the costume to appear in the music video with reference to the character lottery table described later based on the determined music ID and the music video type.

Before starting the game, the player downloads the characters and costumes from the server 100 to the player terminal 1 in advance. Then, the album table is generated in the player terminal 1.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an album table. In FIG. 13, white circles indicate that they are associated, and bars indicate that they are not associated. In the album table, the character ID, the character name, the rarity, the unique costume ID, and the acquired information are associated with the card ID (hereinafter, the card ID may indicate the type of the card). .. The card ID is a unique ID in the album table. The album table contains all the card IDs that can be provided in the game.

The character ID is information indicating a character. The same character has the same character ID. Rarity indicates the difficulty of obtaining a card ID. Rarity "SS Rare" is the most difficult to obtain. Rarity "S rare" is less difficult to obtain than rarity "SS rare". Rarity "rare" is less difficult to obtain than rarity "S rare". Rarity "normal" is less difficult to obtain than rarity "rare". In other words, the card ID with a rarity of "normal" is the easiest to obtain, and it becomes difficult to obtain it in the order of rarity "rare", rarity "S rare", and rarity "SS rare". Although detailed description is omitted, the card ID can be obtained by lottery using the in-game currency distributed by the operator or purchased by the player. The difficulty of obtaining each card ID is set by the winning probability in the lottery using the in-game currency.

Further, one or a plurality of unique costume IDs "3D, SSR" are associated with the card ID of the rarity degree "SS rare". The unique costume ID "3D, SSR" is information indicating a unique costume that can be displayed only in a 3D music video. The corresponding unique costume ID "3D, SSR" is different for each card ID. In other words, even if the character IDs are the same, if the card IDs are different, different unique costume IDs "3D, SSR" are associated with each other.

Further, one or a plurality of unique costume IDs "2D" are associated with the card ID. The unique costume ID "2D" is information indicating a unique costume that can be displayed in a 2D rich music video or a 2D standard music video. The corresponding unique costume ID "2D" is different for each card ID. In other words, even if the character IDs are the same, if the card IDs are different, different unique costume IDs "2D" are associated with each other.

Further, the acquired information is associated with the card ID. The acquired information is information indicating whether or not the player terminal 1 has acquired the card ID.

As will be described in detail later, the server 100 first refers to the acquired information in the album table, and the card ID acquired by the player terminal 1 and the character ID, rarity, and uniqueness associated with the card ID. A character lottery table is created by extracting the costume ID. Then, the server 100 refers to the character lottery table based on the determined music ID and music video type, and determines one or a plurality of card IDs indicating the characters to appear in the music video. Then, the server 100 determines the costume ID indicating the costume based on the determined card ID. The costume ID is determined by referring to the character lottery table or the costume table. In the costume table, the costume ID indicating the costume is associated with one or more character IDs to which the costume is applied (worn).

In this way, the server 100 sets the playback information including the determined music ID, music video type, card ID, and costume ID so that the player terminal 1 can receive them. Then, the player terminal 1 reproduces the music data based on the received reproduction information, and displays (reproduces) the music video according to the reproduced music.

FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a music video being played. As shown in FIG. 14, on the touch panel 26, a music video 88 in which a character image 82 and a costume image 84 are combined with a background image 80 is played back in time with the music.

If the server 100 cannot create a playback list, that is, if the number of music IDs extracted from the music table based on the setting information is zero, the server 100 indicates that there is no reproducible music data. To set. When the player terminal 1 receives information indicating that there is no playable music data, the touch panel 26 displays that there is no corresponding music data and setting information instead of playing the music data (music video). A message prompting you to reset is displayed.

When the playback of the music video (music data) ends, or when the playback of the music video (music data) is interrupted in response to the player's operation input, end information indicating that is sent from the player terminal 1 to the server 100. Will be sent. Upon receiving the end information, the server 100 starts the lottery of the music ID of 1 from the created playlist.

In this way, the server 100 determines the music ID based on the music video selection condition information (selection condition) set in the player terminal 1. Then, the player terminal 1 reproduces the music data and the music video associated with the music ID determined by the server 100. This makes it possible to avoid a situation in which the type of music video does not match the image display capability of the player terminal 1 or the player's selection. Therefore, the player terminal 1 can prevent the display of the music video from being disturbed (dropped frames, delay) when playing the music video in accordance with the music data, and can improve the effect of producing the music video. It becomes. Further, the server 100 can set the type of the music video up to the music selection condition information set in the player terminal 1, appropriately control the effect of the music video, and set an appropriate value for the processing load and the battery consumption. It is possible to limit it within the range.

Further, the server 100 creates a playlist and determines one music ID from the playlist by lottery. As a result, the player cannot grasp the music data and the music video played on the player terminal 1 in advance. Therefore, the server 100 can give the player unexpectedness, and can improve the effect of producing the music data and the music video.

Further, when "3D priority operation information" is set in the player terminal 1 and the server 100 determines the music ID of the music classification "B", the server 100 gives priority to the music video type "2D standard" to the music video. Determine the type "2D rich". That is, when the 3D music video that is preferentially determined is not associated with the music ID, the server 100 determines the type of music video having the largest data capacity among the associated music videos. As a result, the player terminal 1 can play a music video having a larger amount of information. That is, the player terminal 1 can play a music video having an amount of information closest to the type selected by the player by playing a music video having a large amount of information.

When the server 100 determines the music ID of the music classification "A", the server 100 determines the music video type according to the priority operation information set in the player terminal 1. As a result, the server 100 can cause the player terminal 1 to play a music video of the type desired by the player.

Further, when the server 100 determines the music ID of the music classification "C", the server 100 always determines the music video type "2D standard" regardless of the priority operation information set in the player terminal 1. As a result, the server 100 can cause the player terminal 1 to play the music video even when the music video of the type desired by the player is not associated with the music ID.

Next, the processing of the player terminal 1 and the server 100 will be described. Here, an example of a process for creating the playlist and a process for playing the music data and the music video will be described, and the description of other processes will be omitted.

Each of the above programs is an example, and a large number of other programs are provided in the program storage area 112a.

The data storage area 112b is provided with an album storage unit 430, a music storage unit 432, a music classification determination table storage unit 434, a music video type determination table storage unit 436, and a playback list storage unit 438 as storage units for storing data. ing. Each of the above storage units is an example, and a large number of other storage units are provided in the data storage area 112b.

The CPU 110 operates each program stored in the program storage area 112a to update the data in each storage unit in the data storage area 112b. Then, the CPU 110 operates each program stored in the program storage area 112a to cause the server 100 (computer) to function as the server-side control unit 100A. The server-side control unit 100A includes a setting information receiving unit 400a, a music classification determination unit 402a, a playlist creation unit 404a, a music determination unit 406a (determination unit, object determination unit), a reproduction information transmission unit 408a, and an end information reception unit 410a. included.

Specifically, the CPU 110 operates the setting information receiving program 400 to make the computer function as the setting information receiving unit 400a. Similarly, the CPU 110 operates the music classification determination program 402, the playback list creation program 404, the music determination program 406, the reproduction information transmission program 408, and the end information reception program 410, respectively, and operates the music classification determination unit 402a and the reproduction list creation unit 404a, respectively. , The music determination unit 406a, the reproduction information transmission unit 408a, and the end information reception unit 410a. A part of the processing executed by the server-side control unit 100A will be described below. Each process described below is executed with the reception of information from the player terminal 1 as an opportunity.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart illustrating an example of music determination processing in the server 100. When the setting information receiving unit 400a receives the setting information (YES in S100), the music classification determination unit 402a refers to the music classification determination table based on the music selection condition information of the setting information, and classifies one or a plurality of music. Is determined (S102). The playlist creation unit 404a refers to the music table stored in the music storage unit 432, extracts one or a plurality of music IDs associated with the determined music classifications from the music table as playback candidates, and creates a playlist. Create (S104). Then, the music determination unit 406a determines one music ID from the playlist by lottery (S106). When the end information receiving unit 410a receives the end information (YES on P108), the music determination unit 406a determines the music ID of 1 from the playlist by lottery (S106).

The music video determination unit 406a determines the music video type with reference to the music video type determination table based on the determined music ID and the priority operation information of the received setting information (S110). Then, the music determination unit 406a determines whether or not the determined music ID is the original music ID (S112). As described above, the original music ID is a music ID to which the character ID and the costume ID are associated with each other in the music table.

When the determined music ID is not the original music ID (NO in S112), the music determination unit 406a executes the normal character ID determination process S114 and the normal costume ID determination process S116, which will be described later.

On the other hand, when the determined music ID is the original music ID (YES in S112), the music determination unit 406a determines whether or not the setting information includes the original priority information (S118). When the original priority information is included (YES in S118), the special determination process S120 described later is executed. On the other hand, if the original priority information is not included (NO in S118), the normal character ID determination process S114 and the normal costume ID determination process S116, which will be described later, are executed.

The reproduction information transmission unit 408a has the music ID determined in S106, the music video type determined in S110, the character ID determined in the normal character ID determination process S114, and the costume ID determined in the normal costume ID determination process S116, or , The reproduction information including the character ID and the costume ID determined in the special determination process S118 is transmitted (S122).

FIG. 23 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the normal character ID determination process S114 in the server 100. The music determination unit 406a refers to the music table and acquires the number N associated with the music ID determined in S106 (S114-1). The music determination unit 406a sets the number N acquired in S114-1 to the counter value of the number counter C (S114-2).

When the counter value of the number counter C is zero or more (YES in S114-3), the music determination unit 406a refers to the character lottery table stored in the album storage unit 430 and determines one character ID by lottery. (S114-4). Further, in S114-4, the music determination unit 406a also determines the position of the character displayed in the music video. For example, when the number of people N is 5, there are position information of 1 to 5, and the music determination unit 406a determines the character ID in order from the position of 1. Then, the music determination unit 406a determines whether or not the costume information of the received setting information is "3D random priority costume information" or "2D random priority costume information" (S114-5).

As a result, when it is not "3D random priority costume information" and "2D random priority costume information" (NO in S114-5), the music determination unit 406a is among the card IDs corresponding to the character ID determined in S114-4. , The player determines any one of the acquired card IDs by lottery (S114-6). Then, the music determination unit 406a subtracts (decrements) the counter value C of the number of people counter C by 1 (S114-7), and repeats the process from S114-3. Then, when the counter value of the number counter C becomes zero, that is, when all the character IDs for the number of people associated with the music ID are determined (NO in S114-3), the music determination unit 406a determines the normal character ID. The decision process ends.

On the other hand, if the costume information of the received setting information is "3D random priority costume information" or "2D random priority costume information" (YES in S114-5), the music determination unit 406a tells S114. It is determined whether or not the card ID corresponding to the character ID determined in -4 has a rarity of "SS rare" and the player has already acquired the card ID (S114-8). As a result, if it is determined that the card ID having a rarity of "SS rare" is not possessed (NO in S114-8), the music determination unit 406a shifts the process to S114-6. If it is determined that the card ID with the rarity of "SS rare" has been acquired (YES in S114-8), the music determination unit 406a determines whether or not there are multiple card IDs with the rarity of "SS rare". (S114-9).

As a result, if it is determined that there are a plurality of "SS rare" card IDs (YES in S114-9), the music determination unit 406a determines one of the "SS rare" card IDs by lottery (YES). S114-10). Then, the music determination unit 406a sets the determined "SS rare" card ID (S114-11). On the other hand, if it is determined that the card ID of the "SS rare" is only 1 (NO in S114-9), the music determination unit 406a sets the card ID of the "SS rare" (S114-11).

FIG. 24 is a first flowchart illustrating an example of the normal costume ID determination process S116 in the server 100. FIG. 25 is a second flowchart illustrating an example of the normal costume ID determination process S116 in the server 100.

As shown in FIG. 24, the music determination unit 406a determines whether or not the costume information of the setting information is "3D shared costume information" or "2D shared costume information" (S116-1). As a result, if it is "3D shared costume information" or "2D shared costume information" (YES in S116-1), the music determination unit 406a determines 1 3D shared costume ID or 1 2D shared costume based on the costume information. Is determined (S116-2). That is, the music determination unit 406a determines one shared costume ID regardless of the number of character IDs determined in the normal character ID determination process S114. Then, the music determination unit 406a associates the determined shared costume ID with all the character IDs determined in the normal character ID determination process S114. In the costume table, all character IDs are associated with the shared costume ID (3D shared costume ID or 2D shared costume ID).

On the other hand, when the costume information of the setting information is not "3D shared costume information" and "2D shared costume information" (NO in S116-1), the music video type determined in S110 is "3D" in the music determination unit 406a. It is determined whether or not it is (S116-3). When the music video type is "3D" (YES in S116-3), the music determination unit 406a determines whether or not the costume information in the setting information is "3D random costume information" (S116-4). If the costume information in the setting information is "3D random costume information" (YES in S116-4), the music determination unit 406a determines 1 3D shared costume ID by lottery from the 3D shared costume IDs (S116-). 5). That is, the music determination unit 406a determines 1 3D shared costume ID regardless of the number of character IDs determined in the normal character ID determination process S114. Then, the music determination unit 406a associates the determined 1 3D shared costume ID with all the character IDs determined in the normal character ID determination process S114.

On the other hand, the costume information in the setting information is not "3D shared costume information" and "2D shared costume information" (NO in S116-1), and is not "3D random costume information" (NO in S116-4). That is, in the case of "3D random priority costume information", the music determination unit 406a executes the 3D rare priority lottery process (S116-6). The 3D rare priority lottery process differs between the case where the SS rare card ID is determined and the case where the SS rare card ID is not determined in the normal character ID determination process S114.

When the SS rare card ID is determined, in the 3D rare priority lottery process, the music determination unit 406a first refers to the character lottery table stored in the album storage unit 430 and associates it with the SS rare card ID. One unique costume ID "3D, SSR" is determined by lottery from one or more unique costume IDs "3D, SSR". Then, the music determination unit 406a associates the determined 1 unique costume ID "3D, SSR" with the SS rare card ID. Further, when a card ID other than the SS rare card ID is determined in the normal character ID determination process, the music determination unit 406a determines 1 3D shared costume ID by lottery from the 3D shared costume IDs. All the card IDs other than the SS rare card ID are associated with the determined 13D shared costume ID.

If the SS rare card ID has not been determined, in the 3D rare priority lottery process-6, as in S116-5, the music determination unit 406a is selected from the 3D shared costume IDs to draw 1 3D shared costume. The ID is determined, and the determined 3D shared costume ID of 1 is associated with all the card IDs.

On the other hand, when the music video type is not "3D" (NO in S116-3), that is, when the music video type is "2D rich" or "2D standard", as shown in FIG. 25, the music determination unit 406a , It is determined whether or not the costume information of the setting information is "2D random costume information" (S116-7). When the costume information of the setting information is "2D random costume information" (YES in S116-7), the music determination unit 406a executes the 2D costume ID lottery process (S116-8). In the 2D costume ID lottery process, the music determination unit 406a first determines the 2D shared costume or the 2D unique costume by lottery. Then, when the 2D shared costume is determined, the music determination unit 406a determines the 2D shared costume ID of 1 from the 2D shared costume IDs by lottery. Then, the music determination unit 406a associates the determined 2D shared costume ID of 1 with all the character IDs determined in the normal character ID determination process. When the 2D unique costume is determined, the music determination unit 406a refers to the character lottery table stored in the album storage unit 430, and draws a lot from the unique costume ID "2D" associated with the card ID. The unique costume ID "2D" of 1 is determined for each card ID. Then, the music determination unit 406a associates the determined unique costume ID "2D" with each card ID.

On the other hand, when the costume information of the setting information is not "2D random costume information" (NO in S116-7), that is, there is "2D random priority costume information", the music determination unit 406a executes the 2D rare priority lottery process. (S116-9). Similar to the 3D rare priority lottery process, the 2D rare priority lottery process is processed depending on whether the SS rare card ID is determined or the SS rare card ID is not determined in the normal character ID determination process. Is different.

When the SS rare card ID is determined, in the 2D rare priority lottery process, the music determination unit 406a first refers to the character lottery table stored in the album storage unit 430 and associates it with the SS rare card ID. One unique costume ID "2D" is determined by lottery from one or more unique costume IDs "2D". Then, the music determination unit 406a associates the determined SS rare card ID with the determined unique costume ID “2D”. In addition, when a card ID other than the SS rare card ID is determined in the normal character ID determination process, the unique costume ID "2D" or the 2D shared costume ID of 1 is determined in the same manner as in S116-8. , The determined unique costume ID "2D" or the 2D shared costume ID of 1 is associated with the card ID other than the SS rare card ID.

If the SS rare card ID has not been determined, in the 2D rare priority lottery process S116-9, the music determination unit 406a shares the unique costume ID "2D" or 1 in 2D, as in S116-8. The costume ID is determined, and the determined unique costume ID "2D" or 1 2D shared costume ID is associated with the card ID.

FIG. 26 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the special determination process in the server 100. When the determined music ID is the original music ID (YES in S112) and the original priority information is received (YES in S118), as shown in FIG. 26, the music determination unit 406a refers to the music table. , The number N associated with the original music ID determined in S106 is acquired (S120-1). The music determination unit 406a sets the number N acquired in S120-1 to the counter value of the number counter C (S120-2).

When the counter value of the number counter C is zero or more (YES in S120-3), the music determination unit 406a refers to the music table and determines whether or not the character ID is associated with the original music ID determined in S106. Is determined (S120-4). If the character ID is not associated with the original music ID (NO in S120-4), the music determination unit 406a refers to the character lottery table and determines one character ID by lottery from a plurality of character IDs. (S120-5).

On the other hand, if the character ID is associated with the original music ID (YES in S120-4), does the music determination unit 406a include the character ID associated with the original music ID in the character lottery table? It is determined whether or not (S120-6). If it is not included in the character lottery table (NO in S120-6), the music determination unit 406a shifts the process to S120-5. If it is included in the character lottery table (YES in S120-6), the music determination unit 406a determines the character ID associated with the original music ID (S120-7).

Further, the music determination unit 406a determines whether or not the costume ID is associated with the original music ID determined in S106 (S120-8). If the costume ID is not associated with the original music ID (NO in S120-8), the music determination unit 406a refers to the costume table and is permitted to apply to the character ID determined in S120-5 or S120-7. One costume ID is determined by lottery from the costume IDs (S120-9).

On the other hand, when the costume ID is associated with the original music ID (YES in S120-8), the music determination unit 406a refers to the costume table, and the character ID determined in S120-5 or S120-7 is determined. It is determined whether or not the application of the costume ID associated with the original music ID is permitted (S120-11). If the application of the costume ID is permitted (YES in S120-11), the music determination unit 406a determines the costume ID associated with the original music ID (S120-12). On the other hand, if the application of the costume ID is not permitted (NO in S120-11), the music determination unit 406a shifts the process to S120-9.

Then, the music determination unit 406a subtracts (decrements) the counter value C of the number of people counter C by 1 (S120-10), and repeats the process from S120-3. Then, when the counter value of the number counter C becomes zero (NO in S120-3), that is, when all the character IDs for the number of people associated with the original music ID are determined, the music determination unit 406a makes the special determination. End the process.

Although one aspect of the embodiment has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can come up with various modifications or modifications within the scope of the claims, and it is understood that these also naturally belong to the technical scope of the present invention. Will be done.

In the above embodiment, the case where the music determination unit 406a determines one music ID based on the music selection condition information (selection condition) is given as an example. However, the music determination unit 406a may determine one music ID from the music IDs associated with the game image selection conditions, for example, specific costume information, which are set based on the player's operation.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the server 100 creates a playlist based on the selection condition is given as an example. However, the server 100 does not have to create a playlist. For example, the server 100 may determine the music ID of 1 by referring to the music table based on the set selection condition.

Further, in the above embodiment, when "all permitted music selection information" is set in the player terminal 1 and the server 100 determines the music ID of the music classification "B", the server 100 has priority over the music video type "2D standard". Then, the case where the music video type "2D rich" is determined is given as an example. However, when "all permitted music selection information" is set in the player terminal 1 and the server 100 determines the music ID of the music classification "B", the server 100 gives priority to the music video type "2D rich" to the music video. The type "2D standard" may be determined. In any case, the music ID is associated with a game image of the first type (2D rich) and a game image of the second type (2D standard) different from the first type (music classification "B"). ) Is included, the selection condition includes the first selection condition (all permitted music selection information) that enables the display of the first type of game image, and the music classification determination unit 402a is the first. When the selection condition is set, the music ID of the predetermined classification can be determined, and the music video display unit 316a is playing the music data associated with the music ID of the predetermined classification when the first selection condition is set. , The first type of game image may be displayed with priority.

Further, in the above embodiment, the music video determining unit 406a of the server 100 associates a music video matching the priority operation information (type information) set by the priority operation setting unit 304a with the determined music ID. In this case, a music video that matches the priority operation information is determined, and if the music video corresponding to the determined music ID does not include a music video that matches the set priority operation information, a music video of a predetermined type is selected. The case of deciding is given as an example. That is, when "3D priority operation information" is set in the player terminal 1 and the server 100 determines the music ID of the music classification "A", the server 100 determines the music video type "3D", but the server 100 determines. When the music ID of the music classification "B" is determined, the music video type "2D rich" is determined. However, when "3D priority operation information" is set in the player terminal 1 and the server 100 determines the music ID of the music classification "B", the music video type "2D standard" may be determined.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the player terminal 1 is provided with the priority operation setting unit 304a is given as an example. However, the priority operation setting unit 304a is not an indispensable configuration.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the music determination unit 406a functions as an object determination unit for determining a character and a costume has been given as an example. However, either one or both of the character and the costume may be associated with each music ID in advance. Also, either one or both of the character and the costume may be fixed.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the object determination unit sets 3D random costume information, 3D random costume priority information (rareity condition), 2D random costume information, and 2D random costume priority information (rareity condition) is given as an example. .. However, the costume setting unit 306a may set only 3D random costume information, 3D costume information, 2D random costume information, and 2D costume information. Further, the costume setting unit 306a may set only the 3D costume information and the 2D costume information.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the music determination unit 406a randomly determines the music ID of 1 from the playlist is given as an example. However, the music determination unit 406a does not have to determine the music ID determined from the previous time to a predetermined number of times before (for example, the previous time). Alternatively, the playlist creation unit 404a may exclude the music IDs determined from the previous time to a predetermined number of times before from the playlist. As a result, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the same music is continuously played on the player terminal 1.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the music determination unit 406a determines any one of the acquired card IDs is given as an example. That is, the music determination unit 406a determines any one of the card IDs once acquired, regardless of whether or not the player terminal 1 currently possesses it. However, the music determination unit 406a may determine the card ID of any one of the card IDs currently possessed by the player terminal 1. That is, the server 100 may exclude the card ID that has been acquired but is not currently possessed by the player terminal 1 from the character lottery table.

Further, in the above embodiment, the music ID to which the music video type "3D" is associated is associated with the 3D rich music video, the 3D standard music video, and the 3D lightweight music video. The case was taken as an example. However, the music ID may be associated with any one or two music videos of the 3D rich music video, the 3D standard music video, and the 3D lightweight music video.

Further, in the music table of the above embodiment, the case where the music IDs of the music classifications A to C are included is given as an example. However, the music table has other music classifications, for example, a music video type "3D" and a music video type "2D rich" associated with the music video type "3D", and a music video type. Includes music classifications to which "2D standard" is associated, music classifications to which only music video type "3D" is associated, and music IDs to music classifications to which only music video type "2D rich" is associated. But it may be. That is, in the music table, at least one or more music video types may be associated with the music ID. Further, the music table may have at least two or more music IDs of the music classification.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the costume change tab 64b is tapped and the 3D priority operation information is temporarily registered, the 3D costume change screen 70 is displayed, and the 2D rich priority operation information or the 2D standard priority operation information is displayed. The case where the 2D costume change screen 72 is displayed when is temporarily registered is taken as an example. However, the common costume setting screen may be displayed regardless of the type of the temporarily registered priority operation information. In addition, on the common costume setting screen, one or more 3D costume information tabs 70a, 3D random costume information tab 70b, 3D random costume priority information tab 70c, one or more 2D costume information tabs 72a, 2D random costume information tabs. 72b, 2D random costume priority information tab 72c, closing tab 70d are displayed.

Further, the control process shown in the above embodiment is only an example. In the above embodiment, the control process for executing the game is executed by the player terminal 1 and the server 100. That is, the information processing system S, which is a client-server system including the player terminal 1 and the server 100, functions as the game device G. However, the control process for executing the game may be executed only by the player terminal 1, for example. In this case, only the player terminal 1 functions as the game device G.

Further, in the above embodiment, the information processing program for realizing the game may be stored in a storage medium readable by a computer. Further, the above embodiment may be an information processing method that realizes each function and the steps shown in the flowchart.
