(Modification example 1)
Information about a plurality of game effects may be associated with any of a plurality of groups. Then, the game medium acquisition unit 253 may associate any of the information related to the game effect associated with the group selected according to the information related to the game medium among the information related to the plurality of game effects with the information related to the game medium. ..

For example, the server storage unit 32 stores, instead of the game effect table 900, a game effect table 2300 that manages information about the game effect and a game effect group table 2400 that manages information about the group to which the game effect belongs.

FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an example of a data structure of the game effect table 2300 that manages information related to the game effect. The same components as those described above are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate. In the game effect table 2300, the game effect ID 910, the group ID 2310, the game effect imparting period 920, the game effect content 930, and the like are stored in association with each other for each game effect.

The group ID 2310 is identification information for identifying a group with which the game effect is associated. Each game effect is associated with any of a plurality of groups. In the example shown in FIG. 23, the identification information of at least two groups is stored, and each game effect is associated with any one of the two groups. Each game effect may be associated with a plurality of groups.

In the example shown in FIG. 23, the game effect content 930 of the game effect associated with the group whose group ID 2310 is "2" is the game effect content of the game effect associated with the group whose group ID 2310 is "1". The effect size is larger than 930. For example, the game effect content 930 of the game effect in which the game effect ID 910 is "9" is "double the points at the time of victory", and the number of benefits granted is doubled. This game effect content varies the number of benefits granted as in the game effect content 930 of the game effect in which the game effect ID 910 is "1". However, the amount of fluctuation is set to be larger than the game effect in which the game effect ID 910 is "1", and the player can be given more benefits. That is, the game effect associated with the group whose group ID 2310 is "2" includes a game effect that is more favorable to the player than the game effect associated with the group whose group ID 2310 is "1".

FIG. 24 is a diagram showing an example of a data structure of the game effect group table 2400 that manages information about the group to which the game effect belongs. In the game effect group table 2400, the group ID 2410, the condition 2420, and the like are stored in association with each other for each group.

The group ID 2410 is identification information for identifying the group to which the game effect belongs. Condition 2420 represents a condition for selecting an associated group. In the example shown in FIG. 24, as the condition 2420, the group in which the group ID 2410 is "1" is associated with the "enemy game medium ID: 1" as the condition 2420. Further, "enemy game medium ID: 2 or 3" is associated with the group whose group ID 2410 is "2" as a condition 2420. That is, the group in which the group ID 2410 is "1" is selected when associating the information regarding the game effect with the game medium associated with the enemy game medium in which the enemy game medium ID is "1". Further, the group in which the group ID 2410 is "2" is selected when associating information on the game effect with the game medium associated with the enemy game medium in which the enemy game medium ID is "2" or "3".

The condition 2420 is not limited to the one related to the enemy game medium ID. For example, different groups may be selected according to the physical strength value of the enemy game medium associated with the game medium. Further, it may be set so that a different group is selected for each game medium ID of the game medium. Further, different groups may be selected according to parameters such as the type of enemy game medium associated with the game medium and the attack power value.

The game medium setting unit 331 receives the game medium information transmission request from the mobile terminal 2. Subsequently, the game medium setting unit 331 refers to the game medium table 1000 of the server storage unit 32, and acquires information on the game medium associated with the player ID included in the game medium information transmission request. Subsequently, the game medium setting unit 331 determines whether or not the acquisition time included in the game medium information transmission request is before the expiration date of 1060 of the acquired information regarding the game medium.

If it is determined that the acquisition time is not before the expiration of the deadline 1060, the game media setting unit 331 sets the selection state 1050 of the acquired game media information to "unselected". Subsequently, when it is determined that the acquisition time is not before the expiration of the deadline 1060, the game medium setting unit 331 refers to the game effect table 2300 and determines whether or not the acquisition time is included in the game effect imparting period 920. ..

When it is determined that the acquisition time is included in the game effect imparting period 920, the game medium setting unit 331 selects one of the plurality of groups according to the information regarding the game medium. For example, the game medium setting unit 331 refers to the game medium table 1000 of the server storage unit 32, and acquires information about the game medium. Subsequently, the game medium setting unit 331 refers to the game effect group table 2400 of the server storage unit 32, and selects the group ID 2410 whose acquired information regarding the game medium satisfies the condition 2420.

Subsequently, the game medium setting unit 331 refers to the game effect table 2300, and associates the information related to the game effect selected from the information related to the game effect associated with the selected group with the information related to the game medium. For example, the game medium setting unit 331 acquires information on the game effect associated with the selected group ID 2310 from the game effect table 2300. Subsequently, the game medium setting unit 331 associates the game effect ID 910 of the acquired game effect information with the acquired game medium information.

In this way, information about the plurality of game effects is associated with any of the plurality of groups. Then, the game medium acquisition unit 253 associates the information about the game effect selected from the information about the game effect associated with the group selected according to the information about the game medium with the information about the game medium. As a result, different game effects can be associated with each other depending on the game medium, and various competitive games are provided for each game medium, so that the player's willingness to improve the game is increased.

Information about a plurality of game effects may be associated with a predetermined priority. Then, the game medium setting unit 331 may select information on the game effect from the information on the plurality of game effects based on a predetermined priority and associate it with the information on the game medium.

For example, the server storage unit 32 stores the game effect table 2500 instead of the game effect table 900.

FIG. 25 is a diagram showing an example of a data structure of the game effect table 2500 that manages information related to the game effect. In the game effect table 2500, the game effect ID 910, the game effect granting period 920, the game effect content 930, the granting probability 2510, and the like are stored in association with each other for each game effect. The grant probability 2510 represents the probability that information about the associated game effect is selected from a plurality of game effects and is associated with information about the game medium. It should be noted that the probabilities of granting a plurality of game effects associated with the same game effect granting period are stored so that the total is 100%. Further, the grant probability 2510 is an example of a predetermined priority.

The game medium setting unit 331 refers to the game effect table 2500 stored in the server storage unit 32, and acquires information on the game effect whose acquisition time included in the game medium information transmission request is included in the game effect imparting period 920. Subsequently, the game medium setting unit 331 selects any of the acquired information regarding the game effect based on the addition probability 2510 of the information regarding each game effect. Subsequently, the game medium setting unit 331 stores the game effect ID 910 of the information regarding the selected game effect in association with the information regarding the game medium.

By doing so, since a game effect that is easily associated with information about the game medium and a game effect that is difficult to be associated with are generated, the variety of the competitive game can be increased, and the player's willingness to continue the competitive game can be improved.

In the game effect table 2500, the priority may be stored instead of the grant probability 2510. Then, the game medium setting unit 331 determines the granting probability of each game effect so that the higher the priority of the game effect, the higher the granting probability, and selects information on the game effect based on the determined granting probability. You may. By doing so, it becomes possible to set the game effect imparting period 920 more flexibly, and it is possible to further improve the variety of competitive games.

(Modification example 3)

Then, the game medium setting unit 331 associates the information about the game medium with the information about the game effect when the acquisition time included in the game medium information transmission request is included in the game effect granting period stored in association with the player.

For example, the server storage unit 32 stores the game effect table 2600 instead of the game effect table 900.

FIG. 26 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the game effect table 2600. In the game effect table 2600, the game effect ID 910, the game effect imparting period 2610, and the game effect content 930 are stored in association with each other. The game effect granting period 2610 is a period during which a process of associating information related to each game effect associated with the player ID with information related to the game medium can be executed. In the example shown in FIG. 26, the game effect grant period 2610 of the game effect in which the game effect ID is "1" is "August 1st 11:00 to August 2" for the player whose player ID is "1". 10:59 a day. " The player whose player ID is "2" is "August 2nd 11:00 to August 3rd 10:59".

When the game medium setting unit 331 determines that the expiration date 1060 of the game medium associated with the player ID 1030 included in the game medium transmission request has passed, the selection state 1050 of the information about the game medium is set to "unselected". Set. Subsequently, the game media setting unit 331 refers to the game effect table 900, and the acquisition time included in the game media information transmission request is included in the game effect granting period 2610 associated with the player ID included in the game media transmission request.
