<About the auction related to this embodiment>
The communication system shown in FIG. 1 (hereinafter referred to as an information processing system S) is a communication system including an information processing device (hereinafter referred to as a server 10) according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is an auction to a user. I will provide a.

An auction is a method of trading products in an auction format, in which a user who wishes to make a successful bid bids on the exhibited product by specifying the desired purchase amount (bid amount), and the set holding period is set. This is a trading method in which a user who is bidding at the highest price can make a successful bid for the item when the item is closed. Further, in the auction of the present embodiment, a condition for participation in the auction is set that a bid cannot be placed on a product unless the dividend (winning money) obtained in the game is used. If there are a plurality of successful bidders for the product, the same number of users as the number of successful bidders for the product can make a successful bid for the product in order from the user who bids at the highest bid.

Goods are the objects of transactions in auctions, and in addition to so-called goods such as food and drink, clothing and tools, services such as transportation, storage, finance and labor, as well as land, capital and information, etc. Includes anything that is worth exchanging in the market.

A game is a game that predicts the outcome of a competition. For example, betting using currency or a dedicated currency in anticipation of the results of public competitions (such as the order of arrival of competition targets) actually held by public institutions as gambling, such as horse racing, bicycle racing, boat racing, or auto racing (hereinafter, (It is called voting), and if the voting based on the prediction is successful, it means a game in which a dividend (refund for the hit) can be obtained as a winning prize according to the odds.

In this embodiment, the competition is held regularly according to a schedule, for example, every day. In addition, the competition is repeatedly held within a predetermined period, such as being held a plurality of times a day, and the user can vote for each of these competitions. For example, if the competition is a bicycle race, about 9 to 12 races are held a day at each venue, and each race can be voted. The predetermined period is not limited to one day, and may be one to several hours, several days, one to several weeks, one to several months, or one to several years. Moreover, the number of races carried out within a predetermined period may be only once.

In voting, the voting content expected by the user is specified from different voting candidates prepared for each competition. The voting content is the expected content related to voting, and specifically, the expected content regarding the order of arrival of the competition. Voting candidates and voting content items include, for example, betting type (win, double win, consecutive win double type, consecutive win single type, etc.), voting target (competition target or combination of competition target), and voting amount (currency or exclusive currency). Of which, the amount invested in voting) is included. As an example of voting, win (bet type), No. 1 (competition target), 2000 yen (voting amount), or triple (bet type), 2-3-5 (competition target combination), 1000 yen (Voting amount) etc.

Currency means so-called "money" used in exchange for goods and services in the general public. The currency of the present embodiment may be a cash currency such as banknotes or coins, or a deposit currency such as a savings account or a checking account. The currency also includes a virtual currency that can be used by a third-party application (an application that can be settled with a barcode, a stack-type two-dimensional code, a matrix-type two-dimensional code, or the like).

The dedicated currency is a pseudo-currency that has different properties from the above-mentioned currency and cannot be used for exchanging goods or services in the general society, but can be used in the games and auctions of the present embodiment. It's worth it. Specifically, the dedicated currency can be used for voting or bidding. In addition, the dedicated currency is given to the user as a dividend when the vote is successful. Therefore, hereinafter, in the present embodiment, the term dividend refers to a dedicated currency.

In addition, the dedicated currency can be obtained by the user converting the currency (charge). Further, as a login bonus or the like, a predetermined number of dedicated currencies may be given to the user free of charge. On the other hand, when converting a dedicated currency into a currency, it is not always possible to convert it unconditionally, and it is possible to convert only the portion that was hit by voting and given as a dividend and was not used for bidding. That is, in the present embodiment, not only the dedicated currency not used for voting but also the dedicated currency given as a dividend by hitting the vote is used for bidding (specifically, for bidding). If the item is used but returned without a successful bid), it cannot be converted into currency.

The odds are the rate of refund, and are the numerical values that indicate how many times the value of the vote (currency or dedicated currency) will be refunded if the vote is successful. Since the odds of this embodiment are determined according to the official odds of the public competition actually held (odds determined by the organizer of the public competition), they may fluctuate in real time depending on the voting situation of the user himself or others. be.

In the auction of the present embodiment, as described above, the payout obtained in the game, that is, the payout that is refunded when the voting performed in anticipation of the result of the competition is successful, is used, and within the amount of the payout. , Make a bid for the item. Further, in the present embodiment, the competition and the product are associated with each other. For example, in order to bid on the product A, the competition A associated with the product A is voted, and the vote is correct. Make a bid using the dividend obtained if. In other words, you cannot bid on a product without using the dividends earned from the competition associated with the product.

There may be a plurality of competitions associated with the product. For example, the competitions associated with the product B may be two competitions, competition B1 and competition B2. In this case, the period between the holding time of the competition B1 and the holding time of the competition B2 is set as the bid acceptance period for the competition B2, the current price of the target product B (the amount that can be awarded at that time) is disclosed to the user, and the competition B2 In the game of, the user may be presented with a voting candidate (betting ceremony, voting target, and voting amount) that pays a dividend equal to or higher than the current price. Further, at this time, a voting candidate may be presented to the user so that the dividend is equal to or larger than the difference between the current bid amount of the user and the current price.

Here, an example of a series of auction flows in the present embodiment will be described.
(1) First, the user predicts the result of the competition on the voting screen G1 as shown in FIG. 2, and votes using the currency or the dedicated currency.
(2) When the vote is successful, the user obtains the amount calculated based on the odds as a dividend. At this time, among the products for which the auction is being held, the products associated with the competition (the products that can be bid using this dividend) and the products that can be bid within the range of the dividend amount are available. , Presented to the user. The user can also convert all or part of the dividend into currency and receive it, but the portion of the dividend converted into currency cannot be used for bidding. When converting to currency, select the currency as the refund method on the hit screen (not shown) and specify the amount to be converted.
(3) The user selects a product for which he / she wishes to bid from the presented products on the product list screen (not shown). If the dividend amount is less than or equal to the current price (the amount that can be awarded at that time), the user cannot select the product.
(4) The user specifies (inputs) the bid amount for the selected product on the bid screen G2 as shown in FIG. At this time, the bid amount can be specified within the range of the refunded dividend amount. In addition, even after the bid amount has been specified once, if the bid amount is less than or equal to the current price, the bid amount can be changed to a higher bid amount than the current price within the range of the dividend amount.
(5) At the end of the auction period, the user who is bidding at the highest bid becomes the winning bidder for the item. If there are a plurality of successful bidders for the product, the same number of users as the number of successful bidders for the product will be the successful bidders for the product in order from the user who bids at the highest bid. On the other hand, for the user who could not make a successful bid, the exclusive currency of the amount equivalent to the bid amount is returned.

In addition to the above, it is also possible to set the planned bid amount in advance and calculate back from the planned bid amount to determine the content of the vote that will give a dividend equal to or greater than the planned bid amount if the vote is successful. An example is as follows.
(1) The user selects a product for which he / she wishes to bid from the presented products on the product list screen (not shown).
(2) The user specifies (inputs) the planned bid amount on the screen for specifying the planned bid amount (not shown). At this time, if the specified bid amount is less than or equal to the current price (the amount that can be awarded at that time), the user is notified (alert).
(3) The user predicts the result of the competition associated with the product on the voting screen G1 as shown in FIG. 2, and votes using the currency or the dedicated currency. At this time, the server 10 automatically derives and presents the voting candidates (betting ceremony, voting target, and voting amount) that are equal to or greater than the planned bid amount when the vote is successful. You can also select the content of the vote from those voting candidates.
(4) When the vote is successful, the user obtains the amount calculated based on the odds as a dividend. Then, the user selects whether or not to bid within the range of the predetermined bid amount. The actual bid amount is not limited to the planned bid amount, and the user can appropriately change and specify the amount within the planned bid amount.
(5) At the end of the auction period, the user who is bidding at the highest bid becomes the winning bidder for the item. If there are a plurality of successful bidders for the product, the same number of users as the number of successful bidders for the product will be the successful bidders for the product in order from the user who bids at the highest bid. On the other hand, for the user who could not make a successful bid, the exclusive currency of the amount equivalent to the bid amount is returned.

The voting candidates presented in (3) above can be further narrowed down by the user specifying an arbitrary item (a plurality of items can be specified). For example, when a competition target (for example, No. 3) as an axis is specified as an item, combinations including the number 3 (triple duplication, etc.) are narrowed down as voting candidates. In addition, when the voting amount (for example, 1000 yen) is specified as an item, the competition target or the betting ceremony (for example, the competition target whose odds are 5 times or more) or those competition targets that are equal to or more than the set planned bid amount (for example, 5000 yen). Combinations including) are narrowed down as voting candidates.
Further, the voting candidate may be presented as an alternative voting candidate when it is determined that the voting content specified in advance by the user is less than the planned bid amount even if the voting content is correct. Alternative voting candidates include alternatives to increase the voting amount while maintaining the betting ceremony and voting target, or to change the betting ceremony or voting target in the voting content. As an alternative to changing the betting style, for example, without changing the first place prediction (without changing the main competition target), change from a win to another betting style with high odds such as a triplet. Voting candidates, etc. are applicable.

Further, as shown in the reference screen G3 of FIG. 4, a plurality of users who have specified the planned bid amount may be grouped, and the users may share information (voting content) with each other within the group. For example, a user belonging to a group may be able to view all or part of the voting contents (for example, other than the voting amount) of other users belonging to the same group. In addition, the voting contents of users in the same group who have a high planned bid amount (users who are likely to hinder the successful bid of goods) may be preferentially notified to other users. At this time, the contents to be notified are the voting contents of the user having a high planned bid amount and the user information thereof, and the number of notifications is controlled according to the number of successful bids of the product. For example, if the number of successful bidders is 1, the top 3 users are notified, and if the number of successful bidders is 2, the top 10 users and the like are notified of the voting contents and user information. In addition, users in the same group who have hit results (including, for example, the number of hits, the hit rate, the hit amount, the number of high dividends, the collection rate, etc. calculated based on the past voting history). Other users may be notified of the voting content of a high user.

As described above, in the auction of the present embodiment, the user votes in anticipation of the competition result, and if the vote is correct, the user can obtain a dividend that is a source of funds for participating in the auction. Therefore, even a user who lacks financial power can be given an opportunity to make a successful bid for a product at an auction. In particular, since the funds for participating in the auction can be obtained, the motivation for voting behavior can be increased for the user, and the gambling spirit for voting can be stimulated, so that the game can be activated.
Further, in the auction of the present embodiment, since the dividend obtained by voting is required to participate in the auction, the participants of the auction can be restricted based on the voting result. Therefore, even a user with abundant financial power cannot participate in the auction unless he / she hits the vote, and in this respect as well, the winning bidder of the auction is no longer limited to the user with abundant financial power. , It is possible to give an opportunity to make a successful bid for a product at an auction even for a user who lacks financial power.

In addition, the bidding operation includes an operation performed before the voting operation or before the hit result of the voting is known, that is, an operation of designating the bid target product and the planned bid amount. At this time, the bid amount and the planned bid amount are limited to the range of the dividend amount obtained when the vote for the competition associated with the product to be auctioned is successful. In addition, when the bid amount or the planned bid amount is less than the bid amount (including both the current price and the final successful bid price), the bid reception unit 62 determines the bid amount or the planned bid amount within the range of the dividend amount. Accept changes. The bid reception unit 62 determines whether or not to participate in the auction for each user, and if participation in the auction is not permitted (for example, when no dividend is obtained in the related competition), the bid reception unit 62 receives the bid from that user. We do not accept information based on bidding operations.

The winning bidder determination unit 63 determines the result of the auction based on the bid amount from each user. Specifically, as in the case of a known auction, the winning bidder is determined in order from the user with the highest bid amount according to the number of items that can be sold in the auction. For example, when one item is listed, the user who bids at the highest bid is the winning bidder. If 10 items are listed, 10 users will be the winning bidders in descending order of bid amount. On the other hand, the successful bidder determination unit 63 refunds the dedicated currency corresponding to the bid amount to the user who could not make a successful bid for the item because the bid amount did not reach the bid amount. The special currency refunded at this time can be used for voting again, but cannot be converted into currency.

The product selection unit 64 selects a product that can participate in the auction from a plurality of products based on the dividend given to the user. Specifically, the product associated with the competition for which the dividend was obtained is selected. In addition, select products that can be bid according to the amount of dividends. The number of products selected is not particularly limited, and may be one or a plurality.

The voting candidate selection unit 65 is a voting candidate (betting ceremony, voting target, and voting amount) based on the bid amount or planned bid amount included in the bid-related information, the current price of the product included in the product information-related information, and the like. Select. Specifically, for a user who has performed an operation to specify a bid target product and a bid price, a bid is scheduled when the bid is successful based on the bid price, the current price of the product, and the voting candidate. Select voting candidates who are likely to receive a dividend of more than the amount. At this time, when the designated reception unit 66, which will be described later, acquires information based on the item designation operation, the voting candidates are further narrowed down based on the designated item. In addition, if it is determined that the bid amount is less than the planned bid amount even if the vote is correct for the user who has performed the voting operation and specified the bid target product and the planned bid amount. Select an alternative voting candidate that has changed some of the items specified in the voting. Furthermore, if the vote is successful, a voting candidate who is given a dividend equal to or higher than the current price of the product, that is, a voting candidate who is likely to win the product is selected. At this time, if the planned bid amount is specified by the user, a voting candidate to which a dividend equal to or greater than the difference between the planned bid amount and the current price is given is selected.

The designated reception unit 66 acquires information (data) based on the item designation operation performed by the user on the user terminal 12 by communicating with the user terminal 12. Specifically, during the reception period set for the competition related to the product to be auctioned, information based on the item designation operation, which is an operation for narrowing down voting candidates, is acquired. The information based on the item designation operation is information for further limiting the voting candidates from the voting candidates narrowed down by the voting candidate selection unit 65, and is information indicating an item designated by the user, for example, a betting ceremony. Information that specifies items such as voting target or voting amount is included.

The group generation unit 67 groups the users who have performed the bidding operation before the voting operation or before the hit result of the voting is known, that is, the users who have performed the operation of designating the bid target product and the planned bid amount. ..

The configurations of the server 10 and the user terminal 12 have been described above. In general, the server 10 and the user terminal 12 have various functions other than the above, but here, only the characteristic functions that exert an action and effect in the information processing system S of the present invention will be described.

The auction control flow employs the information processing method of the present invention, in other words, each step in the auction control flow corresponds to a component of the information processing method of the present invention.
The flow described below is merely an example, and unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the execution order of the steps may be changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[Auction control flow (1)]
The auction control flow proceeds along the flow shown in FIG. 11, for example.
As shown in FIG. 11, first, the server 10 (specifically, the voting reception unit 52), which is a computer, receives votes for the competition from the user terminal 12 of the user through the network 14 (S101). Specifically, data indicating the voting content (betting ceremony, voting target, and voting amount) specified by the user's voting operation is acquired.

After the competition is over, the server 10 (specifically, the dividend granting unit 54) determines whether or not the vote is correct (S102), and if the vote is correct (S102: YES), The dividend granting process is executed (S103). The details of the dividend granting process (S103) will be described later.

Next, the server 10 (specifically, the information distribution unit 61) distributes an auction list on which bidtable products are posted to the user terminal 12 of the user through the network 14 (S104). Specifically, among the products for which an auction is being held, products associated with the competition (products that can be bid using this dividend) can be bid within the amount of the dividend. Present the product to the user.

Then, when the server 10 (specifically, the bid reception unit 62) receives a bid from the user terminal 12 of the user through the network 14 (S105: YES), specifically, the bid content (bid) is performed by the user's bid operation. When the data indicating the target product and the bid amount) is acquired, the bid acceptance process is executed (S106). The details of the bid acceptance process (S106) will be described later.

After that, when the server 10 (specifically, the successful bidder determination unit 63) determines that the holding period of the auction has ended (S107: YES), the server 10 determines the successful bidder based on the bid amount (S108). Specifically, according to the number of products that can be awarded, the user with the highest bid amount is specified as the winning bidder in order. If the holding period of the auction has not ended yet (S107: NO), the bid can be continuously accepted, that is, the bid amount can be changed.

After the auction ends, the server 10 (specifically, the winning bidder determination unit 63) determines whether or not the user has made a successful bid for the item (S109), and if the user can make a successful bid for the item (S109: YES). ), The product is given to the user (S110), and if the user cannot make a successful bid for the product (S109: NO), the dedicated currency corresponding to the bid amount is refunded to the user (S111).

Then, the server 10 (data generation unit 40) updates various related information based on the results of the game and the auction (S112), and the server 10 (information distribution units 51 and 61) updates the game and various information through the network 14. By delivering the result of the auction to the user terminal 12 of the user, the user is notified (S113), and the process ends. If the vote is not correct (S102: NO) or if the bid is not accepted from the user terminal 12 of the user during the auction period (S105: NO), various related information is updated. (S112), after notifying the user (S113), the process ends.
The above is an example of the auction control flow.

[Dividend grant processing]
Next, an example of the dividend granting process will be described with reference to FIG.
The dividend granting process is a process executed by the server 10 (mainly, the dividend granting unit 54 and the like), and is a process executed in step S103 of the above auction control flow. Specifically, it is a process of giving a dividend to a user who has won the vote.

As shown in FIG. 12, first, the server 10 (specifically, the dividend giving unit 54), which is a computer, calculates the dividend amount based on the voting amount and the odds (S201), and based on the dividend selection operation obtained from the user. The type of dividend to be given (currency or dedicated currency) is determined according to the information (S202), and the dividend is given to the user (S203).
Then, the server 10 (data generation unit 40) updates various information such as user-related information (S204), and the server 10 (information distribution unit 51) transfers the information regarding the given dividend to the user user through the network 14. By delivering to the terminal 12, the user is notified (S205), and the process ends.
The above is an example of dividend grant processing.

[Bid acceptance processing]
Next, an example of the bid acceptance process will be described with reference to FIG.
The bid acceptance process is a process executed by the server 10 (mainly, the bid acceptance unit 62 and the like), and is a process executed in step S106 of the above auction control flow. Specifically, it is a process of accepting a bid for a product based on a bid content specified by a user.

As shown in FIG. 13, first, the computer server 10 (specifically, the bid reception unit 62) determines whether or not the bid amount specified by the user is within the range of the dividend amount possessed by the user. (S301), if it is within the range of the dividend amount (S301: YES), the dividend held by the user is reduced according to the bid amount (S302), and the bid is accepted (S303).
Then, the server 10 (data generation unit 40) generates bid-related information and updates various information such as user-related information and product-related information (S304), and the server 10 (information distribution unit 61) uses the network. Through 14, the bid completion notification is delivered to the user terminal 12 of the user (S305), and the process ends.
On the other hand, if it is out of the range of the dividend amount (S301: NO), the bid prohibition notification is delivered to the user terminal 12 of the user (S306) without accepting the bid, and the process is terminated.
