(1-3. Functional configuration of server 10)
As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 11 of the server 10 includes a grant control unit 11a, an instruction reception unit 11b, and a synthesis processing unit 11c.

The grant control unit 11a is configured to be able to grant the first game medium to the user U in response to an instruction from the user U on the first screen S1.

The "game medium" is a game object that can be used by the user U, who is a player, in the game G. The game object executes various actions required for the progress of the game G, activation of game effects (for example, skills, arts, magic, techniques, etc.), etc. based on the instruction of the user U or preset conditions. It is an object that can be used, or an object that has an effect of acting on other objects in the game G. The game object is, for example, a character or a card operated by the user U, or an equipment, a tool, an item, or the like.

The instruction receiving unit 11b is configured to be able to receive a specific operation which is an instruction to transition to the specific screen S0 different from the first screen S1 by the user U. The specific operation gives an instruction (transition instruction) to execute the process of screen transition to the specific screen S0. The specific operation may include an instruction to execute another process (another instruction), and the process related to the other instruction may be executed prior to the process related to the transition instruction. The specific operation is an operation for returning to the specific screen, and is, for example, an operation of pressing (by tapping, clicking, or the like) a specific object displayed in a predetermined area of the first screen S1.

The specific screen S0 is a preset specific screen and is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a screen capable of performing quest selection, various selections of functions in the game G, or the like, a so-called home screen or the like. The specific screen S0 is a screen different from the first screen S1 and the first related screen PS (described later) that can receive a reward (game medium, etc.) by exercising the right, and executes these screens or a specific game function. This is a screen for performing an operation or the like for transitioning to a screen or the like for performing an operation.

The instruction receiving unit 11b can receive operations and instructions by the user U by receiving information about them from the user terminal 20. The user terminal 20 may be configured to accept the instruction of the user U by an operation such as tapping the user U on the touch panel display or the like, and to be able to transmit the operation and the information related to the instruction by the operation to the server 10.

When the instruction receiving unit 11b accepts the specific operation, the synthesis processing unit 11c is possessed by the user U in the first game medium provided from the display of the first screen S1 to the acceptance of the specific operation. When the third game medium having a predetermined relationship with the second game medium included in the game medium is included, the synthesis process for synthesizing the second game medium and the third game medium can be executed. When the transition to the specific screen S0 is performed by an operation different from the specific operation, the synthesis process is not executed for the first game medium assigned after the transition to the first screen S1. For example, when a task is killed, the compositing process is not executed when a process for forcibly transitioning to the specific screen S0 is executed based on the current time.

Here, the "third game medium having a predetermined relationship with the second game medium" means that the third game medium is a game medium that satisfies the conditions for synthesizing with the second game medium. The "predetermined relationship" means, for example, a relationship in which the second game medium and the third game medium are the same (same type). In such a case, it can be said that the second game medium and the third game medium owned are overlapped with each other. Further, the predetermined relationship is a relationship in which the second game medium and the third game medium are characters derived from the same character, a relationship in which the second game medium and the third game medium have the same or similar attributes, and a second game medium. The third game medium may have a special relationship (for example, family, friends, teachers and pupils, etc. when the game object is a character) in the story or setting of the game G. Further, the predetermined relationship is that when the third game medium is an item or the like that can enhance another game medium, the second game medium is in a state (status) in which the third game medium can be used. There may be.

With such a configuration, the transition operation from the first screen S1 to the specific screen is used as a trigger, and the first screen is executed by executing the synthesis process of the given game medium and the game medium already possessed. The number of executions of the synthesis process can be reduced as compared with the case where the game medium is executed each time the game medium is added in S1, and the load associated with the synthesis process can be reduced.

Further, the synthesis processing unit 11c may be configured to execute the synthesis on the condition that the user U has a predetermined game medium, a predetermined parameter, or the like necessary for the synthesis. The synthesis processing unit 11c may be configured to consume other game media, parameters, etc. possessed by the user U during the synthesis processing. Here, the predetermined game medium required for synthesis is a game medium other than the game medium to be synthesized, and is, for example, a specific item or the like. Further, the predetermined parameter required for synthesis is, for example, a point possessed by the user U. In such an embodiment, the synthesis process requires a game medium or parameter other than the game medium to be synthesized, and as a result of using them by the synthesis process, the game medium or parameter or the like is reduced. The type or amount of the game medium or parameter or the like required at the time of the synthesis process may be changed or constant depending on the type and status of the game medium to be synthesized.

(1-4. Addition of game media and synthesis processing)
Hereinafter, the flow from the addition of the game medium to the synthesis process will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. In the following description, a case where the game medium is a character will be illustrated.

FIG. 5 shows a first screen S1 (hereinafter, also referred to as a “receipt BOX screen”) in which a game medium can be received as a gift or the like. The content included in the first screen S1 is adjusted and generated by the server 10, and the user terminal 20 receiving the adjustment / generation can be displayed on the display unit 24 and presented to the user U.

On the receiving BOX screen, the right R1, the right R2, the right R3, and the right R4 indicating the right that the user U can receive the grant of the game medium by exercising are displayed. User In addition, the button B1 is arranged on the upper left of the receiving BOX.

The right is a right to cause the grant control unit 11a to execute a process of granting the game medium to the user U. For example, one or more specific game media may be set as the game medium to be granted to the right. Further, the right may be the right to draw a lottery such as a gacha and receive the grant of one or more game media. In the following description, it is assumed that one or more specific characters are set as the game medium to be granted to the right, and the grant of those characters can be received.

When the user U designates the right R1 displayed on the display unit 24 and exercises the right, the characters C1 and C2 are given as the first game medium according to the instruction of the user U. When the right R2 is designated and the right is exercised, the character C3 is given as the first game medium.

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, a case where the operation (specific operation) of pressing the button B1 by the user U is performed after the first screen S1 is displayed and the right R1 and the right R2 are exercised will be described. When the button B1 has a function of giving an instruction to transition to the specific screen S0, the instruction receiving unit 11b of the server 10 receives an instruction to return to the specific screen S0 via the user terminal 20.

At this time, the first game media given to the user U during the period T from displaying the receiving BOX screen to receiving the instruction by pressing the button B1, which is a specific operation, are the characters C1 to C3. On the other hand, the user U possesses the character C4.

The character C4 is a character of the same type as the characters C1 and C3, and is a character of a different type from the character C2. When the same type is set to have a predetermined relationship, the synthesis processing unit 11c determines that the character C4, the character C1 and the character C3 have a predetermined relationship, and the character C4 and the character C2 do not have a predetermined relationship. be able to.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the synthesis processing unit 11c executes the synthesis process on the characters C1 and C3 determined to have a predetermined relationship with the character C4. In FIG. 7A, first, the character C4 and the character C1 are combined to generate the character C4'. Next, the character C4'and the character C3 are combined to generate the character C4''. The character C4'and the character C4'' may be characters of the same type as the character C4, and a part of the status may be updated (enhanced or the like). It should be noted that the composition may not be executed sequentially, but may be configured to be able to be executed at the same time after calculating the status update value or the like based on all the characters that can be synthesized.

The character C4'and the character C4' may be stored and managed as a game medium different from the character C4. Further, the character C4'and the character C4' may be stored and managed as the same game medium as the character C4, and may be controlled so that the status is simply updated.

In FIG. 7B, the character C5 is generated by synthesizing the character C4 and the character C1. The character C5 is a character of a different type from the character C4, but is a character derived from the character C4 due to evolution or the like (a character of the same system). The synthesis processing unit 11c may be configured to be able to synthesize the character C3, which is a character belonging to the same system but of a different type, to the character C5 to generate the character C5'. At this time, the synthesis processing unit 11c determines that the character C5 and the character C3 have a predetermined relationship.

FIG. 7C is different from the case of FIG. 7B in that the synthesis processing unit 11c is of a different type, but it is determined that the characters belonging to the same system do not have a predetermined relationship. By the first synthesis process of synthesizing the character C1, the character C5, which is a character of a different type from the character C4 but is derived from the character C4 due to evolution or the like (character of the same system), is generated. The synthesis processing unit 11c is configured not to perform such synthesis of the character C5 and the character C3.

When there are a plurality of game media that can be synthesized with respect to the same game medium, the synthesis processing unit 11c can determine the synthesis order according to the designation of the user U or a predetermined condition. For example, the synthesis processing unit 11c can determine the synthesis order based on the order in which the game media are given. Further, the synthesis processing unit 11c may determine the synthesis order so that the status of the game medium generated when all the game media are synthesized is maximized (to be advantageous in advancing the game). ..

After the synthesis processing by the synthesis processing unit 11c is completed, the server 10 continues the transition processing to the specific screen S0, and enables the user terminal 20 to display the specific screen S0. The server 10 may execute the transition process to the specific screen S0 in parallel with the synthesis process by the synthesis processing unit 11c.

(1-5. Flow of processing by game providing system 1)
An example of the processing flow by the game providing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

In step S200, the user terminal 20 displays the first screen S1 provided by the server 10 on the display unit 24. Next, in step S210, the user terminal 20 receives an instruction to assign the first game medium by the operation of the user U, and transmits the instruction to the server 10.

In step S100, the instruction receiving unit 11b of the server 10 receives the instruction to give the first game medium received from the user terminal 20. In step S110, the grant control unit 11a grants one or more first game media to the user U, and stores the granted first game medium in association with the user U in the storage unit 12 or the like. The server 10 may wait until the execution of the process according to the instructions of steps S220 and S120 described later, or S210 and S100 may be repeated during the waiting.

In step S220, the user terminal 20 receives an instruction for transition to the specific screen S0 based on the specific operation by the user U, and transmits the instruction to the server 10. In step S120, the instruction of transition to the specific screen S0 is received.

In step S130, the first game medium provided from the display of the first screen S1 to the acceptance of the specific operation has a predetermined relationship with the second game medium included in the game medium possessed by the user U. It is determined whether or not the third game medium is included. If the third game medium having a predetermined relationship is included, step S140 is executed. If the third game medium having a predetermined relationship is not included, step S150 is executed. Further, S150 is executed after S140.

In S140, the synthesis processing unit 11c executes a synthesis process for synthesizing the second game medium and the third game medium.

In S150, the transition process to the specific screen S0 is executed. In step S230, the user terminal 20 displays the specific screen S0 on the display unit 24 according to the transition process to the specific screen S0.

If the right to receive the grant of the first game medium and the game medium that can be synthesized with the second game medium remains unexercised by the user U, the information regarding the right to receive the grant of the first game medium is included. The display of the third screen S3 is controlled to be executed, and the grant control unit 11a is configured to be able to grant the game medium to the user U based on the right exercise instruction. With such a configuration, it is possible to encourage the user U to receive a game medium that can be synthesized.

When the user U designates the right R1 displayed on the display unit 24 and exercises the right, the character C1 and the character C2 are given as the first game medium according to the instruction of the user U, and the right R2 is designated. The case where the character C3 is given as the first game medium when the right is exercised will be described.

For example, if the user U is granted the character C1 and the character C2 as the first game medium by exercising the right R1, but the exercise of the right R2 is not executed, the character C3 is granted as the first game medium. Suppose that remains. Then, it is assumed that the character C3 has a predetermined relationship with the character C4 possessed by the user U. In such a case, the instruction receiving unit 11b notifies the user U on the displayed third screen S3 that the right R2 that can grant the character C3 that can be combined with the character C4 remains.

May be good. With such a configuration, it is possible to notify the user U when the receipt of the synthesizable game medium is particularly effective.

For example, if the user U is granted the character C1 and the character C2 as the first game medium by exercising the right R1, but the exercise of the right R2 is not executed, the character C3 is granted as the first game medium. Suppose that remains. Then, it is assumed that the character C1 and the character C3 have a predetermined relationship with the character C4 possessed by the user U. The character C1 has already been granted by exercising the right R1, is combined with the character C4 by the subsequent synthesis process, and is updated to increase a specific parameter of the character C4 by 1. Here, it is assumed that when the character C3 is added, the specific parameter of the character C4 is updated by 1 by being further combined with the character C4, and the specific parameter reaches a predetermined value.

In such a case, the instruction receiving unit 11b notifies the user U on the displayed third screen S3 that the right R2 that can grant the character C3 that can be combined with the character C4 remains. Can be done. By exercising the right R2 on the third screen S3, the instruction receiving unit 11b may control the user U to be notified that the specific parameter of the character C4 reaches a predetermined value through synthesis.

On the other hand, when the number of game media required for a specific parameter of the character C4 to reach a predetermined value by synthesis is 3 or more, it is specified only by synthesizing one character C3 given by exercising the right R2. It is not enough to set the parameter of. In such a case, the instruction receiving unit 11b can be controlled so as not to display the third screen S3. In addition to the right R2, if the character granted by exercising the right has a predetermined relationship with the character C4 and there is one or more rights sufficient to bring a specific parameter to a predetermined value by synthesis, those rights. The addition of the character by exercising can be incorporated into the calculation for determining whether or not to display the third screen S3.

(2-7. Modification 7)

When the instruction receiving unit 11b receives the specific operation, the third game medium is included in the first game medium given by the time the specific operation is received, and the instruction receiving unit 11b is not exercised on the first screen S1. When one or more rights to receive the remaining third game medium are granted, the display of the third screen S3 is controlled to be executed.

That is, the instruction receiving unit 11b includes a game medium having a predetermined relationship that can be synthesized with the game medium possessed by the user U in the game medium given until the specific operation is received, and further in a later synthesis process. Similarly, when the user U can receive the synthesizeable game medium by exercising another right, the user U is urged to receive by exercising the right by controlling so that the third screen S3 is displayed.

With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the user U from losing the opportunity to receive the synthesizable game medium as well as the synthesizeable game medium received by the user U.
