[1. Information processing]
An example of information processing according to the embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of information processing according to an embodiment.

The information processing device 1 is, for example, a server device that provides a game to a user via a web browser. That is, the information processing device 1 is a server device that provides an online game. The user can play the game using the terminal device 2.

The terminal device 2 is a user terminal such as a notebook PC (Personal Computer), a desktop PC, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).

During the game, the user can purchase, for example, items used in the game. As a result, a consideration for playing the game (hereinafter, referred to as a "billing amount") is generated (S1).

After the user plays the game, the information processing device 1 can pay the billing amount by a postpaid method of paying the billing amount generated by the play. Then, the information processing device 1 determines the play result based on the payment of the billing amount by the user. Here, a method of paying the billing amount generated by the play in advance is referred to as a prepaid method.

Specifically, the information processing device 1 accepts whether or not to pay the billing amount after the user plays the game (S2-1). Then, the information processing device 1 enables the play when the user pays the billing amount (S2-2), while the information processing device 1 enables the play when the user does not pay the billing amount. At least a part of it is invalidated (S2-3).

This allows the user to pay a bill during the game, for example, after purchasing an item and using the item. That is, the user can pay the billing amount according to the play result using the item. Therefore, the information processing device 1 can improve the satisfaction level of the user.

[2. Configuration of information processing device 1]
Next, the information processing device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the information processing device 1.

The information processing device 1 includes a communication unit 10, a storage unit 11, and a control unit 12.

The communication unit 10 is realized by, for example, a NIC (Network Interface Card) or the like. Then, the communication unit 10 is connected to the network N by wire or wirelessly, and transmits / receives information between the information processing device 1 and the terminal device 2.

The storage unit 11 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a flash memory (Flash Memory), or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk.

The storage unit 11 includes a game information storage unit 20 and a postpaid status storage unit 21. The game information storage unit 20 stores various information related to the game. The game information storage unit 20 stores, for example, a user ID that identifies a user and information on a game that the user can play.

The deferred payment status storage unit 21 stores the user's payment status for the billing amount generated by the deferred payment method. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the deferred payment status storage unit 21 stores the usage date, which is the date on which the billing amount is generated by the deferred payment method, and the deferred payment status in association with each user, as shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is an example of the user's payment status for the billing amount generated by the deferred payment method. The name and the like are stored as individual user IDs and the like, but are shown by figures and words in FIG. 3 for explanation.

For example, when the user "○○" pays for the billing amount generated by the deferred payment method on February 1, 2018, "deferred payment" is stored as "yes".

Further, for example, when the user "XX" does not pay for the billing amount generated on November 12, 2017, "deferred payment" is stored as "none".

The deferred payment status storage unit 21 may store the payment status for each game for the user, or may store the payment status including the payment status in a plurality of games for the user.

Returning to FIG. 2, the control unit 12 is a controller, and various programs stored in the storage device inside the information processing device 1 by, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit). Is realized by executing RAM as a work area. Further, the control unit 12 is a controller, and is realized by, for example, an integrated circuit such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

The control unit 12 includes a reception unit 30, a determination unit 31, a setting unit 32, and a determination unit 33.

The reception unit 30 receives the operation information of the user in the terminal device 2 via the network N. Specifically, the reception unit 30 accepts whether the payment method is a prepaid method or a postpaid method.

Further, when the payment method is the post-payment method, the reception unit 30 receives payment information indicating whether or not the user pays the billing amount generated by the play after the user plays the game.

The determination unit 31 determines whether or not the user satisfies the deferred payment condition. Specifically, the determination unit 31 determines whether or not the number of postpaid payments by the user within the predetermined period is equal to or less than the predetermined number of payments. The predetermined period is a preset period, for example, one month. The predetermined period may be the period from the previous deferred payment. The predetermined number of times is a preset number of times, for example, three times. The number of deferred payments is the number of deferred payments for each game, but may be the number of deferred payments in a plurality of games. Further, the number of postpaid payments may be the number of postpaid payments by the user.

The determination unit 31 determines that the user satisfies the postpay condition when the number of postpaid payments by the user within the predetermined period is less than or equal to the predetermined number of times. Further, the determination unit 31 determines that the user does not satisfy the postpay condition when the number of postpayments of the user within the predetermined period is larger than the predetermined number of times.

The setting unit 32 sets the payment method to a prepaid method or a postpaid method. Specifically, the setting unit 32 sets the payment method to the prepaid method to which the privilege is not given when the user does not satisfy the postpaid condition. The benefits will be described later. As a result, the number of deferred payments within the predetermined period is limited to the predetermined number or less. That is, the setting unit 32 limits the number of times the billing amount can be paid after the play, which is the number of times the billing amount can be paid.

Further, the setting unit 32 is granted a privilege to the payment method when the user satisfies the postpayment condition and the prepaid method is accepted by the reception unit 30, that is, when the user selects the prepaid method as the payment method. Set to prepayment method. Further, the setting unit 32 sets the payment method to the deferred payment method when the user satisfies the deferred payment condition and the reception unit 30 accepts the deferred payment method.

The privilege is a privilege for play in the postpaid method. For example, by granting the privilege, the charge amount of the play in the prepaid method becomes lower than the charge amount for the same play in the postpaid method.

The determination unit 33 enables the user's play when the payment of the billing amount is received from the user at a predetermined timing with respect to the billing amount generated by the deferred payment method, that is, when the payment by the user is made. Further, when the determination unit 33 does not accept payment of the billing amount from the user at a predetermined timing for the billing amount generated by the postpaid method, that is, when there is no payment by the user, at least one of the plays by the user. Invalidate the part. In addition, the determination unit 33 may invalidate all the plays by the user.

The predetermined timing is a preset timing, for example, the timing when a preset predetermined time elapses after the billing amount is generated, the user ends the play, or saves the data of the game being played. It's timing.

[3. Payment method setting process]
Here, the payment method setting process according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a payment method setting process according to the embodiment.

The information processing device 1 determines, for example, whether or not the user satisfies the postpaid condition when the user starts the game (S10).

When the user does not satisfy the deferred payment condition (S10: No), the information processing device 1 sets the payment method to the prepaid method to which the privilege is not given (S11). When the user satisfies the postpay condition (S10: Yes), the information processing apparatus 1 accepts a payment method, that is, a selection result of the payment method by the user (S12).

The information processing device 1 determines whether or not the received payment method is a postpaid method (S13). When the received payment method is the postpaid method (S13: Yes), the information processing device 1 sets the payment method to the postpaid method (S14). When the received payment method is the prepayment method (S13: No), the information processing device 1 sets the payment method to the prepayment method to which the privilege is given (S15).

The information processing device 1 may execute the above-mentioned payment method setting process when a billing amount is generated, for example, every time a billing amount is generated.

[4. Example of payment method setting process]
Next, the payment method setting process in the embodiment will be described with reference to the example shown in FIG. Here, it is assumed that the current date is February 20, 2018. Further, it is assumed that the predetermined period is one month and the predetermined number of times is three times.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, the user "○○" has made three deferred payments by February 2, 2018. Therefore, as of February 20, 2018, "○○" is determined not to satisfy the deferred payment condition. Therefore, the payment method is a prepayment method in which the privilege is not given, and the user "○○" can play the game only by the prepayment method in which the privilege is not given.

In addition, the user "XX" made a deferred payment once on February 18, 2018. Therefore, as of February 20, 2018, the user's "XX" is determined to satisfy the deferred payment condition. Therefore, the user "XX" can play the game by selecting the prepaid method and the postpaid method in which the privilege is given.

Then, when the user "XX" selects the prepayment method to which the privilege is given, the payment method is set to the prepayment method to which the privilege is given. Further, when the user "XX" selects the deferred payment method, the payment method is set to the deferred payment method.

[5. Postpaid processing]

Next, the postpaid process according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a postpaid process according to the embodiment.

After the user plays the game, the information processing device 1 receives payment information as to whether or not the user pays the billing amount generated by the play (S20). Specifically, the information processing device 1 receives payment information at a predetermined timing.

The information processing device 1 determines whether or not the user pays the billing amount based on the received payment information (S21). When the user pays the billing amount (S21: Yes), the information processing device 1 validates the play in which the billing amount is generated (S22). That is, the information processing device 1 validates the play result in which the charge amount is generated.

If the user does not pay the billing amount (S21: No), the information processing device 1 invalidates at least a part of the play in which the billing amount is generated (S23). That is, the information processing device 1 invalidates at least a part of the play result in which the charge amount is generated.

[6. An example of postpaid processing]
Next, the postpaid process according to the embodiment will be described with reference to an example in FIG. 6A. FIG. 6A is a diagram (No. 1) showing a notebook PC 2A in which a game in which a user selects and purchases an item is played via a web browser W. FIG. 6A shows a case where the payment method is a prepayment method.

In FIG. 6A, the user can select and purchase item A and item B. For example, item A is an item that can double the experience value in a role-playing game within a certain play time, and item B is an item that can double the physical strength in the role-playing game.

For example, if the user purchases item A in a postpaid manner and uses item A during the game, the user can obtain twice as much experience points as usual during the game. The purchase of item A will incur a charge of "500 yen".

Then, when the user pays the billing amount "500 yen" after the play, the information processing device 1 validates the play in which the item A is used during the game and the experience value is doubled, and is valid. It is confirmed as a game result. As a result, the user can obtain twice the experience value in the game.

Further, if the user does not pay the billing amount "500 yen" after the play, the information processing device 1 invalidates the play in which the item A is used during the game and the experience value is doubled, and is invalidated. It is confirmed as a game result. For example, the information processing device 1 invalidates a part of the play obtained by using the item A, and determines the normal experience value (1 times) obtained during the game as a valid game result.

If the user satisfies the deferred payment condition and selects the prepaid method as the payment method, the user can purchase the item A and the item B shown in FIG. 6B, for example. FIG. 6B is a diagram (No. 2) showing a notebook PC 2A in which a game in which a user selects and purchases an item is played via a web browser W. FIG. 6B shows a case where the payment method is a prepayment method with respect to FIG. 6A.

When the user selects the prepayment method as the payment method, the user can purchase item A for "400 yen" and item B for "100 yen". In this way, the user can purchase the item cheaply as a privilege, for example.

[7. Other examples of postpaid processing]
The above-mentioned postpaid method can also be applied to games in which items are acquired by lottery. For games in which items are acquired by lottery, a charge amount is incurred when the lottery is performed.

In such a game, when the payment method is the post-payment method, the user can draw a lottery before paying the billing amount. Then, when the user pays the billing amount generated by performing the lottery, the lottery result (play) becomes valid, and the user can acquire the item obtained by the lottery.

Further, if the user does not pay the charge amount generated in the lottery, the lottery result (play) becomes invalid and the user cannot acquire the item selected by the lottery.

If the user satisfies the postpaid condition and selects the prepaid method as the payment method, for example, the user can perform the lottery at a lower charge amount than the postpaid method.

In addition, the above-mentioned postpaid method can also be applied to a game in which a prize is obtained. A game that wins a prize will be charged when the game itself is played. Such a game is, for example, a crane game in which a prize is acquired by grasping the prize with a crane and transporting the prize to the prize acquisition port. The user can remotely control the crane based on the image taken by the camera.

In such a game, when the payment method is the post-payment method, the user can remotely control the crane and transport the prize to the prize acquisition port before paying the billing amount. Then, when the user pays the billing amount generated by operating the crane, the transportation result (play) of the prize is valid, the prize is delivered to the user, and the user can acquire the prize.

Further, if the user does not pay the billing amount generated by operating the crane, the transportation result (play) of the prize becomes invalid, and the user cannot acquire the prize transported to the prize acquisition port.

The postpaid method described above may be applied to a game that can be played by installing an application on the terminal device 2.

Further, the postpaid method described above may be applied not only to online games but also to offline games. In this case, some of the functions of the information processing device 1 described above are incorporated into the game machine itself. For example, a crane game directly operated by the user may be playable in a postpaid manner. In this case, for example, a user who has been authenticated using an authentication card or the like can play the crane game in a postpaid manner. Then, when the user pays the billing amount generated by operating the crane after the play, the prize outlet opens and the user can acquire the prize.

Further, if the user does not pay the charge amount generated by operating the crane after the play, the prize take-out port does not open and the user cannot obtain the prize.

[8. effect]
After the user plays the game, the information processing device 1 accepts whether or not to pay the charge amount generated by the play. Then, the information processing device 1 enables the play when the user pays the billing amount, and invalidates at least a part of the play when the user does not pay the billing amount.

As a result, the user can play before paying the billing amount, and after playing, pay the billing amount according to the play result. In addition, the user can activate the play by paying the billing amount. Therefore, the information processing device 1 can improve the satisfaction level of the user. Further, the information processing device 1 can realize the game progress according to the payment status of the user's billing amount by invalidating at least a part of the play when the user does not pay the billing amount.

The information processing device 1 limits the number of postpaid payments by the user. Specifically, the information processing device 1 limits the number of postpaid payments by the user within a predetermined period to a predetermined number or less. As a result, the information processing device 1 can improve the user's satisfaction and diversify the progress of the game to improve the game quality.

The information processing device 1 accepts whether the payment method of the billing amount is a prepaid method or a postpaid method. This allows the user to select a payment method for the billing amount. Therefore, the information processing device 1 can improve the satisfaction level of the user.

When the payment method is a prepayment method, for example, when the user selects the prepayment method as the payment method, the information processing device 1 gives a privilege to the play as compared with the case where the payment method is the prepayment method. As a result, the information processing device 1 can improve the satisfaction of the user who pays the billing amount when the play result is known to the user who pays the billing amount when the play result is known.

[9. Other variants]
The information processing device 1 according to the modified example may limit, that is, set the number of postpaid payments based on the payment amount paid by the user. For example, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the modified example increases the number of postpaid payments when the payment amount paid by the user by the postpaid method within a predetermined period is equal to or more than a preset predetermined amount. The information processing device 1 according to the modified example may increase the number of postpaid payments as the payment amount increases. Further, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the modified example may limit the number of postpaid payments based on the payment amount including the payment amount paid by the user by the prepaid method. Thereby, for example, the information processing device 1 can increase the number of postpaid payments for a user having a large payment amount and improve the satisfaction level of the user having a large payment amount.

Further, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example may limit the number of times that the postpaid amount can be paid based on the payment status of the user for the billing amount generated by the postpaid method. For example, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example limits the number of non-payments for the billing amount generated by the post-payment method and the number of times the post-payment is possible based on the non-payment amount.

Specifically, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example reduces the number of postpaid payments as the number of non-payments with respect to the billing amount generated by the postpaid method increases. The information processing device 1 according to the modified example may determine that the postpaid condition is not satisfied when the number of non-payments for the billing amount generated by the postpaid method reaches a predetermined upper limit number set in advance.

Further, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example reduces the number of postpaid payments as the non-payment amount with respect to the billing amount generated by the postpaid method increases. The information processing device 1 according to the modified example may determine that the postpaid condition is not satisfied when the non-payment amount with respect to the billing amount generated by the postpaid method becomes a predetermined upper limit amount set in advance.

As a result, the information processing device 1 can give a penalty to, for example, a user who has a large number of non-payments for the charge amount generated by the postpaid method and a user who has a large number of non-payments for the charge amount generated by the postpaid method.

Further, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example calculates points based on the payment amount paid by the user and the payment status of the user for the billing amount generated by the postpay method, and the number of postpaid possible times based on the calculated points. May be restricted. For example, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example sets the points to "+1" when the user pays the billing amount by the postpaid method, and sets the points to "+1" when the user does not pay the billing amount by the postpaid method. It is set to "-1". Then, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example limits the number of postpaid payments based on the points in the user. For example, in the information processing device 1 according to the modified example, the larger the points, the larger the number of postpaid payments. Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the modified example determines that the postpaid condition is not satisfied when the points are equal to or less than the preset predetermined points.

As a result, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example can produce a game property with respect to the payment state of the user for the charged amount. Further, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example can increase the number of postpaid payments to a user with a good payment state and give a penalty to a user with a poor payment state.

Further, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example may be able to select the deferred payment method only for a specific user, for example, a user who satisfies a predetermined membership condition or a predetermined service purchaser. That is, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example may determine that only a specific user satisfies the postpaid condition. Further, in the information processing apparatus 1 according to the modified example, when the user is a specific user, the number of postpaid payments may be increased as compared with a user who is not a specific user.

As a result, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example can improve the satisfaction level of the specific user.

Further, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example may set the payment method to the prepayment method to which the privilege is not given even when the user satisfies the postpayment condition and the prepayment method is accepted. Further, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the modified example may set the payment method to the prepaid method to which the privilege is given even when the user does not satisfy the postpaid condition. That is, when the payment method is changed to the prepayment method, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example may be the same prepayment method regardless of whether or not the user satisfies the postpayment condition.

Further, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example may allow the user to select a prepayment method to which no privilege is given. As a result, the information processing device 1 according to the modified example can diversify the game characteristics.

Further, in the information processing device 1 according to the modified example, the payment method may be only the deferred payment method.

Further, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the above embodiment and the modified example may be applied in combination.
