Description

The present invention relates to a server device control method, a server device, a program, and a game system.

In recent years, games provided from a server device to a mobile terminal operated by a player via a communication network have been well received, and many game titles have been released from a plurality of platforms. The types and categories of these games are diverse, and among them, so-called social games that allow a plurality of players to participate in the same game are particularly booming. It can be said that this social game uses a community-type network service called a social networking service (hereinafter referred to as "SNS").

As a social game that makes use of the characteristics of such SNS, for example, a battle event such as a battle in which a character (player character) operated by a plurality of players attacks one or a plurality of enemy characters is unfolded. It has been known. In this case, each player becomes a member of a specific group such as a guild, a party, a team, or a community, which will be described later, and by defeating an enemy character, the game is not only for each player but also for the group to which those players belong. Various rewards such as points and items that can be used in the game can be given.

A battle event that aims to defeat an enemy character by multiple player characters in this way is customarily called a "raid battle" in the social game field, or a group or guild is an acronym for its English notation. The enemy character appearing in the raid battle is represented by (G) and is represented by the acronym (R) of its English notation as a raid character, and "GvR" ("v" means the English notation of Versus; The same shall apply hereinafter).

In addition, social games in which individual battle events in which player characters fight one-on-one and group battle events in which group battles are held (including competitions such as team sports as well as battles) are also widely known. There is. As an example of the latter, for example, in Patent Document 1, when matching of a plurality of parties to which a player character belongs is established in a Coliseum Hall which is a predetermined virtual space in a game, a group battle (battle) by those parties is established. The online games played are listed. In the field of social games, such direct battles between groups are customarily called "guild battles", or as described above, groups or guilds are represented by the acronym (G) in English. Sometimes called "GvG".

Therefore, the coins and items given by the incentive can be used to advance the social game in an advantageous manner, and the registered player invites other players who have learned in the platform to obtain the incentive. Send an email to encourage them to participate in social games. Since certain players newly participate in the social game based on this invitation email, the social game and the platform that provides the social game will be booming.

However, in the above-mentioned incentive granting mechanism, it is a condition of incentive granting that a player invited to a social game participates (registers). That is, even if a player sends an invitation email to many other players, the player cannot obtain an incentive unless those other players participate in the social game as a player. For this reason, even if a player sends an invitation email to many other players, the percentage of players who participate in the social game as a player is not large, so there are few coins etc. that can be obtained as an incentive for the effort of sending the invitation email. , There are few players who stop sending invitation emails because it is troublesome to send invitation emails, or do not send invitation emails from the beginning. In addition, since the mechanism is to send invitation emails to registered members on the platform, the destinations for sending invitation emails are also limited. In such a situation, there is a limit to increasing the number of players who participate in the social game by the mechanism of inviting other players, and more players are invited to participate in the social game to provide the social game and the social game.

A tracking code (identification information) provided for identifying the player from a player operating the terminal device 2 of another player is included. Here, the tracking code is a code issued by the above-mentioned game application when transmitting the invitation message, and after the issuance, the game application (more specifically, the storage device of the server device 100 (for example, RAM 103). ) Is also retained. When the terminal device 2 that has received the invitation message accesses the landing screen V1 from the URL, the server device 100 can acquire the tracking code. The server device 100 operates the issuing terminal device 2 from a player who operates many managed terminal devices 2 based on the tracking code held by the game application and the tracking code acquired based on the above-mentioned URL. It becomes possible to identify the player A1.

First, the relationship between the invitation message, the landing screen V1, the platform screen V2, and the home screen V3 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, the landing screen V1, the platform screen V2, and the home screen V3 are screens displayed on the platform provided by the game provider, respectively, and are screens that the server device 100 displays on the terminal device 2. ..

As shown in FIG. 5, the landing screen V1, the platform screen V2, and the home screen V3 are each associated with each other within the control range T1 of the provider that provides the above-mentioned game. Here, the management range T1 refers to the range of information and processing that can be managed by the provider within the platform, for example, information about registered members, information about games (applications) to be provided, messages between members, and e-mails. It refers to processing and the like. In addition, the URL included in the invitation message has a link with the landing screen V1, and at least a link is attached from the landing screen V1 to the platform screen V2 and the home screen V3, and from the platform screen V2 to the home screen. A link is attached to V3.

The external service S1 is a service provided outside the control range T1 of the provider that provides the above-mentioned game. The external service S1 manages the transmission and reception of messages and e-mails performed between information processing terminals including the terminal device 2 and the like. Therefore, by using the external service S1 so as to be linked with the message processing within the management range T1, it becomes possible to send and receive messages and e-mails inside and outside the management range T1. As a result, the player (player's account) operating the terminal device 2 within the management range T1 can send the above-mentioned invitation message to a user outside the management range T1 (to the user's account). .. Further, the external service S1 manages the connection of the information processing terminal such as the terminal device 2 to the Internet. Therefore, the user of the information processing terminal such as the terminal device 2 outside the management range T1 can access the landing screen V1 by using the connection function to the Internet and the external service S1.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the landing screen V1. On the landing screen V1, for example, a member registration is required to participate in the above-mentioned game "To participate in the XX game, a member registration is required before the player registration." It is necessary to register "Player registration is required to participate in the XX game", URL "http://www.aaaaaa.co.jp" of platform screen V2 for member registration, and The URL "http://www.aaaaaa.co.jp/bbbb" of the home screen V3 for player registration etc. is displayed.

Here, returning to FIG. 5, players C1 and D1 are respectively from the terminal device 2 (first terminal device) operated by the player A1 who is registered as a player in the above-mentioned game (naturally, the above-mentioned provider is also registered as a member). When an invitation message is transmitted to the terminal device 2 (second terminal device) to be operated, the flow when the players C1 and D1 access the landing screen V1 and the like via the URL included in the invitation message will be described. ..

First, the player A1 operates the terminal device 2 and transmits an invitation message from the home screen V3 of the game described above to the terminal device 2 operated by friends (players C1 and D1) using the external service S1 (players C1 and D1). R11, R21).

When the terminal device 2 of the player C1 receives the invitation message from the player A1, the player C1 operates the terminal device 2 to display the invitation message, and when the URL included in the invitation message is clicked, the landing screen V1 is displayed on the terminal. It is displayed on the device 2 (R12). Player C1 has already registered as a member with the provider, so if you click the URL "http://www.aaaaaa.co.jp/bbbb" (see Fig. 6) with the link to the home screen V3, For example, after the confirmation process of being a member is performed, the home screen V3 is displayed (R13). Then, when the player C1 performs a predetermined operation from the home screen V3, the player can be registered and can participate (register) as a player in the above-mentioned game.

Further, when the terminal device 2 of the player D1 receives the invitation message from the player A1, the player D1 operates the terminal device 2 to display the invitation message, and when the URL included in the invitation message is clicked, the landing screen V1 Is displayed on the terminal device 2 (R22). Since player D1 is not registered as a member (not registered) with the provider, the URL "http://www.aaaaaa.co.jp" (see FIG. 6) with a link to the platform screen V2 is attached. Click to display the platform screen V2 (R23). Then, when the player D1 performs a predetermined operation from the platform screen V2, the member can be registered and the provider can be registered as a member. Then, the home screen V3 is displayed on the screen of the terminal device 2 automatically or by performing a predetermined operation (R24). Player D1 can register as a player and participate (register) as a player in the above-mentioned game by performing a predetermined operation from the home screen V3.

Next, when the landing screen V1 is accessed based on the above-mentioned invitation message and the member registration and player registration of the user or the player registration is performed, it is given to the player who is the sender of the invitation message. The incentive will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the process of giving the incentive.

The terminal device 2 (first terminal device) is operated by the player, and by passing through the external service S1 outside the control range T1, the player (player's account) who operates the first terminal device determines a predetermined user (user's account). ) Is sent an invitation message (ST501). Then, based on the operation of the predetermined user, the second terminal device displays the invitation message received from the first terminal device on the predetermined display unit (ST502). More specifically, the player operating the first terminal device instructs the server device 100 to send an invitation message to a predetermined user (for example, SNS: a friend on the social networking service) of the external service S1. do. Upon receiving the instruction, the server device 100 sends an invitation message to the predetermined user. If the predetermined user is registered in advance, the invitation message may be sent to the second terminal device via the external service S1, or is stored in the inbox of the predetermined user of the external service S1. In some cases. Then, another user operates the second terminal device to check the content of the invitation message transmitted or stored as described above. That is, a predetermined user can visually (view) the contents of the invitation to the above-mentioned game and the URL. Since the player who operates the first terminal device and the predetermined user who operates the second terminal device can receive the services of the above-mentioned provider and the external service S1 through the account, respectively, the provider and the external. As long as the terminal device 2 can access the service S1, the terminal device 2 operated by the player and the predetermined user may be different each time the service of the invitation message is received.

Next, the second terminal device determines whether or not the URL has been clicked (ST503). When a predetermined user decides to participate in the above-mentioned game, an operation of clicking the URL included in the invitation message displayed on the display unit of the second terminal device is performed. In response to this click operation, the second terminal device determines that the URL has been clicked (ST503: YES). On the other hand, if the user is not interested in the above-mentioned game, the predetermined user performs an operation of closing the invitation message without clicking the URL. In response to this operation or the like, the second terminal device determines that the URL has not been clicked (ST503: NO). In this case, this process ends. That is, no incentive is given to the player of the first terminal device.

When the above URL is clicked (ST503: YES), the second terminal device accesses the landing screen V1 provided by the server device 100, for example, by using the Internet connection function of the external service S1. Further, the server device 100 receives access to the landing screen V1 and acquires a tracking code (a code for identifying a player who operates the first terminal device) included in the invitation message from the second terminal device (ST504).

Next, the server device 100 gives a first incentive to the player who operates the first terminal device identified by the tracking code (ST505). That is, the first incentive is an incentive given when the landing screen V1 is accessed based on the invitation message. As a result, the number of coins, items, etc. in the above-mentioned game of the player who operates the first terminal device managed by the server device 100 increases.

Next, the server device 100 performs a process for displaying the landing screen V1 on the second terminal device (ST506). A predetermined user visually recognizes the display of the landing screen V1 displayed on the display unit of the second terminal device, and performs member registration based on whether or not he / she has registered as a member with the provider, or a player. Select whether to register. Based on the selection, information indicating which of the two URLs has been clicked by a predetermined user is transmitted from the second terminal device to the server device 100.

The server device 100 determines whether or not a member registration has been instructed by a predetermined user based on the acquired information acquired from the second terminal device (ST507).

When the above-mentioned acquired information is information indicating that the URL for accessing the platform screen V2 has been clicked, the server device 100 determines that the member registration has been instructed (ST507: YES), and the server device 100 determines that the membership registration has been instructed. A process for displaying the platform surface V2 on the display unit of the second terminal device is performed (ST508). Then, the predetermined user registers as a member by performing a predetermined operation from the platform screen V2 displayed on the display unit of the second terminal device (ST509). As a result, the server device 100 registers the predetermined user as a member of the above-mentioned provider.

When the membership registration is completed in this way, the server device 100 gives a second incentive to the player who operates the first terminal device (ST510). That is, the second incentive is an incentive given when membership registration is performed based on the invitation message. The server device 100 can give an incentive to the player who operates the first terminal device by using the tracking code acquired in step S504. As a result, the number of coins, items, etc. in the above-mentioned game of the player who operates the first terminal device managed by the server device 100 increases.

When it is determined that the member registration is not performed in the process of step S507 (ST507: NO), the server device 100 determines whether or not the player registration is instructed based on the above-mentioned acquired information acquired from the second terminal device (ST507: NO). ST511). In addition, when the information acquired from the above-mentioned second terminal device is neither a member registration instruction nor a player registration instruction, for example, it is information indicating that the landing screen V1 is closed without clicking the URL. (ST5111: NO), for example, the server device 100 ends this process after performing the process of starting the above-mentioned game process.

When the above-mentioned acquired information is information indicating that the URL for accessing the home screen V3 has been clicked, that is, when it is determined that the instruction has been player registration (ST5111: YES), or the above-mentioned step S510 When the second incentive is given in the above, the server device 100 performs a process for displaying the home screen V3 on the display unit of the second terminal device (ST512). Then, the predetermined user registers the player by performing a predetermined operation from the home screen V3 displayed on the display unit of the second terminal device (ST513). As a result, the server device 100 registers the predetermined user as a player of the above-mentioned game. In this way, a predetermined user can participate in the above-mentioned game.

When the player registration process of the predetermined user is completed in this way, the server device 100 gives a third incentive to the player who operates the first terminal device and the second terminal device (ST514). That is, the third incentive is an incentive given when the player registration is performed based on the invitation message. As a result, coins, items, and the like in the above-mentioned game of the player who operates the first terminal device and the second terminal device managed by the server device 100 increase.

In the present embodiment, the case where the third incentive is given to the player who operates the first and second terminal devices will be described. For example, in the above-mentioned game, when a new player is registered. If the mechanism is such that a new registration incentive is given, the third incentive may be given only to the player who operates the first terminal device, and even in such a mechanism, the first and first incentives may be given. 2. A third incentive may be given to each player who operates the terminal device. Then, the server device 100 ends this process.

According to the control method of the server device 100 configured as described above, the server device 100, the game program, and the game system 1, it is recommended to participate in the above-mentioned game, and the landing associated with the platform screen V2 and the home screen V3. The second terminal device that has received (acquired) the invitation message including the URL that identifies the screen V1 from the first terminal device only accesses the landing screen V1 based on the URL by the operation of the player of the second terminal device. Since the first incentive can be given to the player who operates the first terminal device, the motivation for the player to send the invitation message can be strengthened, the number of players participating in the game increases, and the above-mentioned It becomes possible to activate the game and the platform that provides the game.

Further, since the URL of the landing screen V1 included in the invitation message and the tracking code are associated with each other, the server device 100 uses the tracking code when the second terminal device accesses the landing screen V1. The player A1 who operates the first terminal device that has sent the invitation message to the device can be identified from among the players who operate the terminal device 2 that manages the player A1. Therefore, when the second terminal device accesses the landing screen V1 based on the invitation message, the first incentive is given to the player A1 who surely operates the first terminal device that is the source of the invitation message. be able to.

Further, in the above embodiment, the incentive is given to the player who operates the first terminal device based on the operation of the player who operates the second terminal device, including the access operation to the landing screen V1. Therefore, for example, the content of the incentive can be changed step by step according to the importance of the operation.

For example, since the first incentive is given by the operation of accessing the landing screen V1, the incentive is the smallest, and the second incentive is given by the operation of membership registration, which has a great advantage for the provider. Since the incentive is the heaviest and the third incentive is given by the operation of registering the player in the game described above, it is conceivable to set the incentive to an intermediate level between the first and second incentives.

Further, the number of times that the first to third incentives can be given may be limited within a predetermined period, and the limit on the number of times that the incentive can be given may be changed for each predetermined period. For example, the first to third incentives that can be given in a predetermined day are limited to 10 times each, and the next day, the first to third incentives are limited to 5 times each. By limiting the number of times the incentive is given within a predetermined period and making it possible to change the limit at each predetermined period, for example, the predetermined period and the predetermined event can be linked, and the invitation message can be linked. It will be possible to lead to an increase in the transmission of. Further, by notifying the player registered as a player of the number and contents of the incentive to be given by a predetermined method, it becomes possible to encourage the player to send an invitation message.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the invitation message is sent to a predetermined user (to the user's account) via the external service S1 has been described, but the invitation message is not via the external service S1. Even when the message transmission / reception service within the management range T1 is used, it is possible to perform the above-mentioned processing related to the incentive grant.

Further, in the above embodiment, the invitation message is used to recommend the terminal device 2 of the predetermined user to participate in the above-mentioned game and the URL (specific information) for specifying the above-mentioned landing screen V1 (solicitation information). However, if at least solicitation information and invitation information including specific information can be sent to a predetermined user, the format is not limited to the message format, for example, an invitation email (email). ) May be used.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the first to third incentives are given to the player A1 when the players C1 and D1 access the landing screen V1, when the player is registered, and when the player is registered has been described. However, the granting of incentives is not limited to these cases. For example, in the case of a game that can be participated without membership registration and player registration, or in the case of a game that can be participated without membership registration and player registration during the trial period, the player participates in the game based on the invitation message ( An incentive may be given to the player A1 at the time of registration). In addition, when the player achieves a predetermined specific item (for example, an invited player reaches a predetermined level, participates in a predetermined event, acquires a predetermined item, etc.) in the game, the player A1 May be given an incentive.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the players C1 and D1 can access the platform screen V2 and the home screen V3 via the landing screen V1 has been described, but the present invention has at least home via the landing screen V1. The screen V3 may be accessible.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the players C1 and D1 have been described as examples of the players for transmitting the invitation message, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the player is registered as a member of the above-mentioned provider and is registered as a member. When an invitation message is sent to a player E1 who has registered as a player in the game but has not participated in the game for a certain period of time (so-called dormant), and the player E1 accesses the landing screen V1 based on the invitation message. The above-mentioned incentive giving process can also be applied to the above.

As described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and the modifications already described, and various modifications can be made without changing the gist thereof. For example, the configuration of the server device 100 shown in FIG. 1 is also applicable to the client computer 21 and the mobile terminal 22, which are the terminal devices 2, although there are differences in processing capacity and the like. Conversely, the client computer 21 and the mobile terminal 22 can also be used as the server device 100. That is, any computer device connected via the network 200 can function as a server device.

Further, the server device 100 is configured to perform the same functions as the memory device loaded in the ROM 102, the RAM 103, the external memory 106, the slot drive 108, etc. by using a large-capacity storage device such as a hard disk or SSD. These storage devices may or may not be made redundant by RAID or the like, and may not be connected to the arithmetic processing unit 101 via the transmission path 120, for example, cloud compute. As a part of the ing, it may be connected to another external device or the like via the network 200.

Furthermore, the network interface in the server device 100 and the terminal device 2 may be either a wireless LAN device or a wired LAN device, and they may be mounted inside or may be of an external device type such as a LAN card. .. Furthermore, as the terminal device 2, a game machine that can be connected to the network 200 may be used, and for example, a communication karaoke device can also be used.

In the above-described embodiment, the present invention has been described in the case where the present invention is applied to a battle game having battle events Ba1 and Ba2 described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, but the present invention is not limited to the battle game but is applied to various games.
