Description

The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method and a program.

Conventionally, a game in which a game object such as a character is grown to participate in an in-game event has been known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a game in which a player trains (trains) in order to enhance the ability of a racehorse owned by the player, and the trained racehorse is allowed to participate in a race to compete for a ranking.

In a game for raising a racehorse as in Patent Document 1, in order to bring the ability of the racehorse to a desired level, the racehorse is repeatedly raised multiple times, but the operation etc. is increased as the number of times of raising is increased. It will take time and effort. In particular, the player may own a large number of racehorses to be trained. If you own a large number of racehorses to be trained, the labor for training will be even greater, and it may be difficult for the player to train all of them. In order to deal with such a case, there is also a game in which a computer (game system) automatically trains on behalf of the player. However, when the training is left to the computer, it is rare that the training result is as expected by the player, and it is often preferable to train by the player himself, so that the player is dissatisfied. ..

On the other hand, in a game that is played by communicating with another player through a network, there is a game in which the player can play the event on behalf of the other player instead of playing the event in the game. .. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses a game in which a mission in a game is played on behalf of another player, and when the mission is cleared, a predetermined reward is provided to the other player. ..

This Patent Document 2 is a patent for a game in which an object is nurtured, although the mission in the game is cleared by another player instead of the player, and the nurturing of the game object owned by the player is not performed on behalf of the player. By applying the play agency system described in Document 2, the player who owns the game object to be trained can also request another player to act as a breeding agent for the game object.

However, when the player who owns the game object to be trained requests another player to act as a breeding agent for the game object, the requested player may be dissatisfied with the breeding result. For example, the success or failure of training a game object is greatly affected by the skill and play environment of the player, so the training result may not be the desired result depending on the skill and play environment of other players who have been entrusted with the training agency. be. Also, compared to playing and clearing missions, training game objects has the impression that it is a less interesting and cumbersome task, so other players who have been entrusted with training agency may cut corners. There is a risk that they will not be trained seriously. Due to the existence of the above risks, the player who owns the game object to be trained cannot request the training agency with confidence and hesitates to use the training agency.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program for constructing a game environment in which a game object breeding agent can be actively used.

The information processing device according to one aspect of the present invention has a proxy processing unit that causes a plurality of second players to train game objects owned by the first player, and a plurality of second players that train the game objects. It has a return unit for returning one game object to the first player among a plurality of game objects whose parameters have changed.

[About the application game of the present invention]
In describing the information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program of the present invention, a game to which the present invention is applied (hereinafter referred to as the game) will be described. The game is a genre of games in which "game objects" are cultivated in the game and "events" in the game are played using the cultivated game objects.

The "game object" is a virtual character used by the player of the present game to play each event in the game, and is a target to be trained by the player in the present game. Examples of the "character" include organisms such as humans, animals and plants, machines such as vehicles and robots, objects other than machines, fictitious characters such as monsters, and other characters similar thereto.

An "event" is, for example, an event such as an accident that occurs during the progress of a game, a quest, a stage, a mission, etc. that are played for the purpose of clearing, and an in-game competition in which a game object participates. Examples of in-game competitions include races competing for the order of arrival, and games and competitions competing for victory or defeat.

In this embodiment, a simulation game on horse racing, in which an excellent race horse is owned and the goal is to win a large race or a large number of races, will be described as an example. Specifically, the player acquires a racehorse, which is a typical example of a game object, by "production", "lottery", purchase, etc., and "cultivates" the racehorse to participate in various "races". Compete for ranking. In addition, the player can own a plurality of racehorses at the same time and train the plurality of racehorses in parallel. In addition, the retired racehorse can be used as a homemade stallion or breedmare for the production of the next generation of racehorses.
In the following, a racehorse will be described as an example of a game object, but the present invention can also be applied to a game for raising an object other than a racehorse.

"Production" is to produce a racehorse to be bred by blending a sire and a breedmare selected by the player. As the sire and breedmare, those acquired by lottery or purchase can be used, and the racehorse bred by the player himself can be used as a sire or breedmare after retirement. .. Further, in this game, the abilities of the sire and the breedmare used as the parent horse tend to be inherited by the produced racehorse. Therefore, it can be said that if a high-capacity sire or breedmare is used as a parent horse, it is easy to produce a high-capacity racehorse. As will be described later, since the game is a communication play compatible game, sire, breedmare or racehorse owned by another player can be used for production.

"Lottery" is a kind of event, and a player can acquire a game object or item such as a racehorse, a stallion, or a breedmare by consuming a predetermined "value" possessed in the game. It is an event that can be done. The lottery is carried out in response to a lottery application from the player during the play of the game. In the lottery, a plurality of game objects and the like having different winning probabilities are prepared as candidates, and one or a predetermined number of game objects and the like are selected from the plurality of candidate game objects and the like, and the player is selected. The game objects and the like can be acquired as a lottery result.

"Value" is the value that the number of possessions increases or decreases in the game, specifically, "in-game currency" which is a currency that can be used in the game, or the more possessed, the more advantageous in the game. "Item" etc. is applicable.

The "in-game currency" has a monetary aspect in the game, such as a medal or a coin, and is included in an item in a broad sense. In-game currency is spent, for example, for exchanging characters or other items, or for playing certain in-game events (races, lottery, etc.). The number of in-game currencies possessed by a player can be increased, for example, when the player logs in to the game and starts the game or wins a race, while when a lottery is conducted, the player participates in the race. It will decrease when you register or when you train (train), which will be described later.

The "item" is used to advance the game in an advantageous manner, and the player can use it in situations such as production, lottery, training, and racing. Items include, for example, fodder for recovering racehorse fatigue or horse weight, horse equipment that changes the appearance or ability of the racehorse, a riding request ticket for a highly capable horseman to ride in the race, and a special lottery. Includes lottery tickets, sire or breeding mares that increase the probability of producing high-capacity racehorses, or bills that increase the probability of producing high-capacity racehorses.

"Training" is to change the parameters of a racehorse by an operation or the like that consumes the value possessed in the game, and in this game, "training" is prepared as a form of training. The parameters of the race horse are the evaluation of the nature of the race horse related to the progress of the game, that is, the ability of the race horse by numerical values or symbols, and specifically, stamina, speed, power, distance suitability, horse race suitability, etc. Includes things that affect the outcome of a race, such as horse weight and fatigue. The parameters of the racehorse include the number of past race appearances, the number of wins in the race, the winning percentage, and other achievements (battle history) related to the past race. The parameters of the racehorse may include items that can be confirmed by the player and items that cannot be confirmed by the player (masked items).

In the present embodiment, a breedable period is set for each racehorse, and the player can breed a racehorse having a remaining breedable period. The breedable period is the number of days set as the in-game time, for example, N weeks in the game (N is an arbitrary natural number). Here, the in-game time is the time elapsed in the game, which elapses at a speed faster than the actual time, and for example, the player performs a predetermined operation (hereinafter referred to as a weekly operation) once. As a result, one week elapses in the game, although it takes only a few minutes in real time. Racehorses that have passed the breeding period will be retired, but as described above, they can be used for production as sire or breedmare.

In this game, one weekly operation, that is, the number of trainings can be performed once per week in the in-game time. Then, usually, as the number of weeks in which the breeding is performed (hereinafter, also referred to as the number of breeding weeks) increases, the parameters of the racehorse gradually increase. On the other hand, for example, an accident such as an injury may occur in the game for a racehorse being trained, and in that case, the parameters of the racehorse may be lowered or returned to the state before breeding. be. The number of trainings that can be performed in one weekly operation is not particularly limited, and training may be performed twice or more.

When training, a menu list ML related to the training course is displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. The breeding course is an example of a breeding mode for racehorses. Multiple types of courses are prepared in this game, and the content of training changes according to the type of course. The player designates one of the plurality of training courses listed in the menu list ML and trains. The types and amounts of parameters changed by training vary according to the designated training course and intensity. For example, in "Course A", stamina can be increased intensively, and in "Course B", speed can be increased intensively. In addition, the degree of increase in the parameters differs depending on the strength (light, normal, strong, etc.). It should be noted that the parameters do not necessarily have to be increased in one training. For example, when training is performed by designating a certain type of training course, a specific parameter may be increased while another parameter may be decreased. However, it does not have to change regularly. In addition, the amount of increase in parameters due to training may change depending on the amount of value consumed.

Further, in this game, training is performed with a racehorse placed in a stable (hereinafter referred to as a farm) owned by the player in the game. Grades (ranks) are set for the farms, and the higher the grade of the farm where the racehorses to be trained are placed, the more training equipment will be added, and the amount of increase in parameters due to training will increase. The grade of the farm can be changed, for example, the player charges for the game, or the player performs a predetermined operation (for example, an operation of consuming in-game currency in the game) to control his / her own farm. It can be upgraded.

The "race" is the main event of the game, and in principle, it is held every week during the in-game time based on the race calendar. When a racehorse trained by training (including a racehorse in the middle of training) is to participate in those races, the player designates a racehorse to be participated in the race from among the racehorses owned by the player (owns a plurality of horses). (Case), register to participate in the race you wish to participate in, and let the racehorse registered on the race date in the in-game time participate in the race. The outcome of a race horse in a race is determined based on the parameters of each race horse including the race horse at the time of the race, the weather on the race date, and the environmental conditions such as the ground condition of the race track.

When a racehorse owned by a player wins a race (1st place) or wins a prize within a predetermined order, the value of a predetermined number of in-game currencies or items is awarded to the player who raises the racehorse. Or it is given as a supplementary prize. The amount of in-game currency to be granted, the type of item, etc. are determined according to, for example, the type of race in which the race has been entered and the order of arrival (results). In addition to the above values, the right to participate in a special race (limited race) that cannot normally be entered may be granted. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the racehorse is not trained even if it participates in the race (parameters such as fatigue level change, but parameters such as stamina, speed and power do not improve at least). However, race participation may be included as a form of training.

By the way, the present game is a communication play compatible game, and a plurality of players can play the present game together through a communication network such as the Internet and a mobile communication line. For example, in this game, a plurality of players may play their own race horses in a race held every week during the in-game time, or in a race in which horses raised by the players can compete with each other (online type competition race). You can compete in the same race.

Further, in the present game, a racehorse owned by a certain player can be trained on behalf of another player (hereinafter referred to as "training agency").

"Training agency" is to set the training authority for the racehorse owned by the player who requests the training agency to other players who undertake (contract) the training agency, and as a process in the game. , The racehorse related to the breeding agency is deposited in the farm of another player, and the parameters of the deposited racehorse are changed based on the operation of the other player. Further, in the present game, the player who requested the training agency cannot train the racehorse related to the training agency during the training agency. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the player who is the breeding agent requester may be able to train the racehorse related to the breeding agent even during the period of the breeding agent. Even if the player who requested the training agency advances the game during the training agency period, that is, even if the weekly operation is performed to advance the in-game time, the game progress is the race related to the training agency. Does not affect horses.

The following will explain again the training agency for racehorses. In the following, the player who requests the training agency will be referred to as the "first player", the player who is entrusted with the training agency will be referred to as the "second player", and the race related to the training agency requested by the first player will be referred to. Horses will be referred to as "target horses".

When requesting the breeding agency of the target horse, the first player designates various request items through the game screen as shown in FIG. The designated request items include the training period, training conditions, and the like. The breeding period (training agency period) is a period in which the first player requests the breeding agency of the target horse, and is a period represented by the actual time (specifically, the actual date) instead of the in-game time. The training condition is a condition for the training agency requested by the first player to the second player, and specifically, is a content specified by the first player as a training policy regarding the training mode during the training agency. The training modes include, for example, the number of training weeks to be reached during the training agency, the training course, the item of the parameter to be increased, the amount of increase or target value of the parameter, and the number of race appearances or the race during the training agency. The number of wins etc. can be mentioned.

The target horses for which the above-mentioned various conditions are set by the first player are posted on the breeding agency request horse list HL shown in FIG. 3, and the information is provided to a plurality of players (strictly speaking, the first player) who are candidates for trustees. It is shared among other players). The range in which the information is shared may be limited to players who have been registered in advance as those who are willing to entrust the breeding agency of the target horse. If there is a target horse that wants to be trained, the player who is a candidate for the trustee selects the target horse from among the multiple target horses listed in the breeding agency request horse list HL, and the target horse is the target horse. Entry as a contractor for training agency. It is also possible to check the details such as the ability and request items for each target horse by tapping the detail button or the like in the breeding agency request horse list HL.

After specifying the request items, if the first player receives an entry to the effect that he / she wishes to be entrusted to his / her target horse from another player, the first player entrusts a plurality of them to the entrustment applicant list JL shown in FIG. Information about the applicant will be posted. In addition to the name or ID of the player who wishes to be entrusted, the list of applicants for entrustment includes the grade of the farm and the number of entrustments of the upbringing agency so far as a result of the upbringing agency. The first player selects one or a plurality of players who may be requested to act as a training agent from a plurality of contract applicants listed in the contract applicant list JL. Although one player may be selected here, the description will be continued below assuming that a plurality of players are selected as the second player.

After the entrustment applicant is selected, the plurality of selected players (player AAA and player CCC in this embodiment) are notified of the training agency request from the first player. Upon receiving the notification, the plurality of players each determine whether or not to entrust the breeding agency of the target horse through the confirmation screen CS shown in FIG. A plurality of players who have decided to entrust the breeding agency of the target horse (in this embodiment, it is assumed that both the player AAA and the player CCC have been entrusted) act independently as the second player. During the breeding period designated by the first player, the target horses can be trained by their own operations, and specifically, the target horses can be trained at their own farm. That is, when there are a plurality of second players, one target horse is not jointly trained by the plurality of second players.

It should be noted that there may be a restriction on the number of target horses that each second player can be entrusted with at the same time (including the case where a part of the breeding agency period overlaps). For example, the number of target horses that can be entrusted at the same time may be one, and a plurality of target horses may not be entrusted at the same time. Further, although it may be from another player (a player other than the first player), it is possible to prevent multiple target horses from being accepted from the same player at the same time, or to accept multiple target horses from the same player. However, it may not be possible to accept contracts from other players at the same time.

When the breeding agency by each second player satisfies the completion condition and ends normally, the breeding agency authority set for each second player is canceled / invalidated, and the parameters of the target horse are set based on the result of the breeding agency. After the change, the breeding authority of one target horse selected from the plurality of target horses is returned to the first player as described later. In the game, one of the target horses deposited in each second player's farm is returned to the first player's farm. Therefore, in the following, the training agency authority for the target horse is changed from the second player to the first player. Returning is also referred to as "the target horse is returned to the first player".

Here, in the present embodiment, one target horse is raised by a plurality of second players, respectively. Therefore, at the end of the breeding agency, one target horse (stamina: 2, speed: 1) as shown in FIG. , Power: 1 etc.), multiple target horses with different parameters will be generated. That is, the target horse AAA (stamina: 3, speed: 5, power: 2, etc.) raised by the player AAA and the target horse CCC (stamina: 4, speed: 4, power: 3, etc.) raised by the player CCC). Two target horses are generated. However, in the present embodiment, neither of these two horses is returned to the first player, one of them is selected according to a predetermined selection pattern, and the selected target horse has completed the breeding agency. It is returned to the first player as a target horse.

On the other hand, the target horse that is not selected is deleted without being returned to the first player. Therefore, even if a plurality of target horses are temporarily generated from the same target horse as a result of being trained by the plurality of second players, they do not exist except during the breeding agency period. Therefore, after the training agency is completed, neither the first player nor the second player can be used in the game play.

Here, an example of a predetermined selection pattern is given below. Any one of these selection patterns may be adopted, or a plurality of selection patterns may be used in combination. For example, after narrowing down to a certain number of animals by the methods (b) to (d), it is possible to set so that the final animal can be selected by the method (a).
(A) The first player selects himself / herself from a plurality of target horses for which the breeding agency has been completed. In this case, the first user may comprehensively judge the breeding agency result, that is, the changed parameters and the like, and select one of the most preferable target horses from the plurality of target horses. For example, if the first player attaches great importance to the speed value, the target horse AAA is selected.
(B) The computer (game system) automatically selects from a plurality of target horses for which the breeding agency has been completed, based on the values of the changed parameters. In this case, the computer comprehensively judges the breeding agency result, that is, the changed parameters and the like, and selects one target horse having the highest ability value from the plurality of target horses. It should be noted that a predetermined parameter may be determined with priority from among stamina, speed, power and the like. For example, if the setting is to select a target horse with a well-balanced overall ability value, the target horse CCC is selected. On the other hand, if the setting is such that the speed value is mainly determined, the target horse AAA is selected.
(C) The computer (game system) automatically selects from a plurality of target horses for which the breeding agency has been completed, based on the conditions set by the first player. The conditions are, for example, the highest (or improved) speed value, the well-balanced high (or improved) stamina value and speed value, and the highest (or improved) horse riding suitability for the turf course. The target horse that is suitable for each condition is selected from either the target horse AAA or the target horse CCC. The conditions may be set at any time, for example, they may be set at the time of requesting a training agency, or may be set before that. If the conditions have already been set at the time of requesting the training agency, the second player may be notified in advance. It may also be set when the breeding agency is completed, that is, when the target horse is returned.
(D) Automatically select from a plurality of target horses for which breeding agency has been completed based on actual results. For example, one target horse having a track record of participating in a predetermined race (a race that meets the conditions specified in advance by the first player) and winning the race during the training agency period is selected. For example, if the predetermined race is "Tokyo Derby (G1)", the target horse CCC that has won the race is selected. It may also be selected based on the number of wins in the race or the amount of prize money won. When selecting a target horse based on actual results, the parameters of the target horse may or may not be considered, or the parameters may be unknown.

When the target horse is returned to the first player after the training agency is completed, a "reward" is given to the specific second player who raised the returned target horse. In addition, a reward may be given to all of the plurality of second players who performed the training agency or some of them, but in that case, the specific second player who trained the returned target horse may be rewarded. Therefore, it is advisable to give a reward more advantageous than other second players.

The "reward" is a value or right given to the second player as compensation for the training agency. The type (content) or grant amount of the reward is changed according to the result of the training agency by the second player, specifically, the number of training weeks during the training agency, or the amount of increase in the parameter increased by the training agency. You may. In addition, a plurality of types of rewards may be given in combination. By changing the type (content) or the amount of grant, or by combining a plurality of types of rewards, it is possible to obtain a reward that is advantageous to the second player.

The content of the reward includes in-game currency or items transferred from the first player to the second player in the form of a reward (the number of in-game currencies or items possessed by the first player according to the number of transfers). In-game currency or items, etc. given to the second player in the form of a bonus regardless of the first player (the number of in-game currencies or items possessed by the first player depends on the number of transfers) In addition to (does not decrease), the rights listed below are also included.
(A) The right of the second player to use the returned target horse in the game.
Specifically, the right of the second player to borrow the returned target horse from the first player and use it in an in-game event such as a race, or the second player borrows the returned target horse from the first player. It includes the right to produce other new racehorses, that is, the right to use the target horse as a sire or breedmare.
(B) The right of the second player to obtain at least a part of the value obtained by having the target horse after the return of the first player participate in the race.
Specifically, X% (for example, 10%) of the in-game currency acquired by the target horse, the same item as the acquired item or a related item (if the acquired item is an item that recovers 100% of fatigue, 30) % (Items to be recovered, etc.), or if the right to participate in a special race is acquired, the second player obtains the right to participate in the special race, etc.
(C) The right to register information such as the name of the second player in the attributes of the target horse after return.
Specifically, this includes the case where the name of the second player is written as the trainer of the target horse.

On the other hand, if the conditions set by the first player at the time of requesting the training agency are not satisfied, or if at least one of the first player and the second player requests cancellation, the training agency is in the middle of the process. However, the training agency may be interrupted. When the breeding agency is interrupted, the target horses raised by the second player are not included in the plurality of target horses for which the breeding agency has been completed, and are not candidates for the returned target horses. Further, of course, the above reward is not given to the second player.

During the breeding agency, the first player can confirm the progress of the breeding agency of the target horse by the second player (for example, the evaluation value described later, the parameters of the target horse at the present time, etc.). As a result, the first player can appropriately confirm whether or not the training agency is proceeding smoothly (whether or not the training quota can be achieved) during the training agency. Then, it can be used as a judgment material such as whether the training agency should be interrupted or whether the current training agency conditions should be maintained (for example, whether it is better to change the training course).

(Information processing department)
The information processing unit 60 executes information processing necessary for the progress of the game, and as shown in FIG. 7, the parameter changing unit 61, the agency processing unit 62, the agency completion unit 63, the agent interruption unit 64, and the agent It has a time specifying unit 65, a consumption value specifying unit 66, a selection unit 67, a returning unit 68, a reward giving unit 69, a race result determining unit 70, and a value adding unit 71.

When the training operation receiving unit 31 receives the training operation of the player, the parameter changing unit 61 describes the parameters of the racehorse to be trained stored in the racehorse information storage unit 52, specifically, according to the operation content. Executes a process of changing ability values such as stamina, speed and power. At this time, the change amount (increase amount) of each parameter changes according to the training course specified by the player in the training operation, the amount of value consumed, and the like.

When the consignment confirmation reception unit 34 receives a reply to the effect that the consignment applicant selected by the first player accepts the training agency, the agency processing unit 62 sets the consignee as the second player and trains the target horse. Is executed on behalf of the second player. Specifically, the proxy processing unit 62 sets the authority to train the target horse for the second player, associates the account name of the second player with the request ID of the breeding agency, and stores the training agency request storage unit. Store in 53. The proxy processing unit 62 can also be set so that each of the second players can independently raise the target horse for the plurality of second players.

The agency completion unit 63 completes the breeding agency of the target horse by the player entrusted with the breeding agency when the completion condition is satisfied for the breeding agency. The completion condition is, for example, a condition that the training condition specified at the time of requesting the training agency by the first player is satisfied. That is, when the number of breeding weeks in the breeding agency of the target horse by the second player reaches the number of breeding weeks specified by the first player, or the parameter of the target horse has increased to the target value specified by the first player. In this case, the agency completion unit 63 cancels / invalidates the breeding agency authority set for the second player, and completes the breeding agency of the target horse by the second player.

The agency interruption unit 64 interrupts the breeding agency of the target horse by the player entrusted with the breeding agency in the middle of the breeding agency when the suspension condition is satisfied for the breeding agency. Specifically, the agency interruption unit 64 suspends the training agency by canceling / invalidating the training agency authority set for the second player. Even if the parameters of the target horse have changed due to the training agency by the second player up to the time of interruption, the change in the parameters is not reflected in the target horse.

The suspension condition is a condition related to the progress of the breeding agency of the target horse, and specifically, the progress status of the breeding agency at the present time does not reach the standard. As an example, the agency interruption unit 64 calculates an evaluation value at each time point during the training agency. The evaluation value is a value calculated based on the agency time described later (specifically, the number of training weeks increased during the training agency period) and the amount of value spent on the training agency, for example. The ratio of the amount of value to time. Then, when the evaluation value satisfies the interruption condition, specifically, when the evaluation value is lower than the reference value, the agency interruption unit 64 interrupts the breeding agency of the target horse by the second player at that time.

The interruption condition is not limited to the above condition, and for example, the interruption condition may be that the agency time after a certain time has elapsed from the start of the breeding agency of the target horse is less than the predetermined time. In addition, even if the training agency of the target horse by the second player is interrupted when the value of the parameter of the target horse raised by the time when a certain time elapses from the start of the breeding agency of the target horse does not reach the reference value. good. In addition, regardless of the parameter value of the target horse, if at least one of the first player and the second player offers to cancel, the second player may suspend the training of the target horse. good.

The agency time specifying unit 65 specifies the in-game time (hereinafter referred to as the agency time) spent on the breeding agency of the target horse. The agency time corresponds to, for example, the number of training weeks from the start of the training agency to the present time. That is, when the agency time specifying unit 65 specifies the agency time for the target horse breeding agency by the second player, the agency time specifying unit 65 substitutes for the number of training weeks reached up to the present time after the second player starts the target horse breeding agency. Specify as time. The specified agency time, that is, the number of training weeks, is also used as a judgment material when the agency interruption unit 64 determines the success or failure of the interruption condition.

The consumption value specifying unit 66 specifies the amount of value of the in-game currency or the like consumed on behalf of the breeding of the target horse. For example, when the above-mentioned completion condition is satisfied for the breeding agency of the target horse by the second player, the consumption value specifying unit 66 specifies the amount of value consumed by the time when the completion condition is satisfied. In addition, the consumption value specifying unit 66 can also specify the amount of value consumed by the training agency at any time during the training agency, and the amount of value specified there is the agency interruption unit. 64 is also used as a judgment material when judging the success or failure of the interruption condition.

When one target horse is raised by a plurality of second players, the selection unit 67 is selected from among the plurality of target horses for which the breeding agency has been completed based on a predetermined selection pattern as illustrated above. , The return unit 68 selects one target horse to be returned to the first player. As the selection pattern, any one of the above selection patterns (a) to (d) may be adopted, or a plurality of selection patterns may be combined to select one target horse. You may do it. Further, the selection unit 67 deletes the data of the target horse that was not selected.

The return unit 68 is a target horse in a state in which the parameters are changed based on the breeding agency when the predetermined return conditions are satisfied, that is, when the agency completion unit 63 completes the breeding agency of the target horse by the second player. Is returned from the second player to the first player. As a result, the breeding authority of the target horse is returned from the second player to the first player. At this time, if there are a plurality of target horses for which the breeding agency has been completed, the parameters have changed due to the breeding of one target horse selected by the selection unit 67, that is, a specific second player. The target horse is returned to the first player.

The reward giving unit 69 grants the above reward to the second player when the training of the target horse is completed and the target horse is returned to the first player. When the reward is given, the content of the given reward is reflected in the player information of each player stored in the player information storage unit 51 or the racehorse information about the target horse stored in the racehorse information storage unit 52. Will be done. Further, the reward giving unit 69 may give a reward only to a specific second player who has acted as a breeding agent for the target horse returned to the first player, or may give a reward to the specific second player. May grant a reward more advantageous than the other second player (the second player who raised the target horse that was not selected as the returned target horse). No reward is given to the second player who interrupts the training agency.

The race result determination unit 70 determines the winning / losing result of each race in the present game, that is, the finish order of each racehorse in the race based on the parameters, and generates event production data according to the determined race result. The generated event production data is distributed by the event information distribution unit 41 to the player who has entered the racehorse in the race.

The value-giving unit 71 grants the value of the in-game currency or item to the player who participated in the racehorse as a prize or a supplementary prize according to the result of the race in which the racehorse participated. When the value is given, the value amount of the in-game currency or the like corresponding to the prize money is added to the player information of each player stored in the player information storage unit 51. In addition, even when the second player participates in the race and wins the race during the training agency, the predetermined value is given. In this case, the value is given to the second player who acts as a breeding agent for the target horse, or may be the first player who is the owner of the target horse.

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 in the present invention will be described. However, illustrations and explanations of other known functions will be omitted.

[Information processing flow according to one embodiment of the present invention]
Next, among the information processing flows by the information processing system S, the flow related to the training agency (hereinafter referred to as the training agency flow) will be described. The training agency flow employs the information processing method of the present invention, in other words, each step in the training agency flow corresponds to a component of the information processing method of the present invention. In the following, specific cases will be given to explain the training agency flow in an easy-to-understand manner. The first player who requests the training agency is the player X, and the plurality of second players who are entrusted with the training agency are the players Y1 and Y2. Let the racehorse (target horse) related to the breeding agency be the racehorse Z.

In executing the training agency flow, the players X, Y1 and Y2 log in to the game and start playing. In the game, each of the players X, Y1 and Y2 owns at least one racehorse and possesses the value of the in-game currency or item necessary for training. Further, in the training agency flow, a large number of players including players Y1 and Y2 (strictly speaking, a plurality of players other than player X) are registered in advance as trustee candidates. In this case, the player X can select a plurality of prospective contractors.

The breeding agency flow proceeds, for example, according to the flow shown in FIGS. 13 to 14, and the player X operates the user terminal 12 to request items regarding the breeding agency of the racehorse Z, specifically, the breeding period and the breeding conditions. It starts from the specified place (S001). The server 10 receives the training agency request of the player X through the communication with the user terminal 12 of the player X, and specifically acquires the data indicating the above-mentioned request items (S002).

Next, when the players Y1 and Y2 operate the user terminal 12 to select a target horse for which they wish to be entrusted with the training agency (S003), the server 10 communicates with the user terminal 12 of the players Y1 and Y2 to perform the player Y1 and Y1. The selection result of Y2 is accepted, and more specifically, the data indicating the target horse selected by the players Y1 and Y2 is acquired (S004). Incidentally, in this case, the racehorse Z corresponds to the target horse selected by the players Y1 and Y2.

Next, the server 10 presents to the player X information about the player including the players Y1 and Y2 who are the trustees (S005), and the player X operates the user terminal 12 to the trustee. When (S006) is selected, the server 10 accepts the selection result of the player X through the communication with the user terminal 12 of the player X, and more specifically, acquires the data indicating the trustee selected by the player X (S007). .. Incidentally, in this case, there are a large number of contract applicants in addition to the players Y1 and Y2, and the players Y1 and Y2 correspond to a plurality of contract applicants selected from the large number of contract applicants.

After that, the server 10 inquires to the players Y1 and Y2 whether or not to accept the training agency requested by the player X through the communication with the user terminal 12 of the players Y1 and Y2 (S008). The players Y1 and Y2 answer whether or not they are entrusted with the training agency through the confirmation screen CS of FIG. 5, and if they are willing to entrust, they answer to that effect (S009). The following steps will be described on the assumption that the players Y1 and Y2 respond that they will be entrusted with the training agency.

The server 10 individually executes a process of causing both players Y1 and Y2 to act for the breeding of the racehorse Z, that is, sets the racehorse Z breeding agency authority for each of the players Y1 and Y2 (S010). As a result, thereafter, the players Y1 and Y2 can train the racehorse Z at their own farms, in other words, the training operation of the players Y1 and Y2 regarding the racehorse Z is accepted by the server 10. Become.

When the players Y1 and Y2 perform a breeding operation on the user terminal 12 in order to perform the breeding operation of the racehorse Z (S011), the server 10 accepts the breeding operation through communication with the user terminal 12 of the players Y1 and Y2. , Specifically, it receives data indicating a training course and consumed in-game currency or items (S012). Along with this, the server 10 changes the parameters of the racehorse Z stored in the racehorse information storage unit 52, specifically, stamina, speed, power, and the like (S013). At this time, each parameter can be changed according to the content of the training operation received from the players Y1 and Y2 (training course, consumption amount of in-game currency, type of consumption item, etc.). However, it does not always change regularly, and even if the content of the same breeding operation is the same, the amount of change may be changed at random.

Then, the server 10 appropriately determines whether or not the completion condition is satisfied for the breeding agency of the racehorse Z by the players Y1 and Y2 during the breeding agency period (S014). For example, when the number of training weeks during the training agency period reaches the value specified by the player X, or when the parameter desired by the player X among the parameters of the racehorse Z reaches the target value, the completion condition is set. Will meet. When the completion condition is satisfied, the server 10 completes the breeding agency of the racehorse Z by the players Y1 and Y2 (S015). At this time, the players Y1 and Y2 independently train one racehorse Z. Therefore, when the breeding agency is completed, a plurality of racehorses Z1 and Z2 corresponding to the breeding contents of the players Y1 and Y2 will be generated from one racehorse Z.

When the breeding agency of the racehorse Z is completed, the server 10 cancels the breeding agency authority of the racehorse Z set in the players Y1 and Y2, and among the racehorses Z1 and Z2 trained by the players Y1 and Y2. , One racehorse Z is selected based on a predetermined selection pattern (S016). Here, it is assumed that the racehorse Z1 raised by the player Y1 is selected, and the process proceeds to the following.

Then, the server 10 returns the selected racehorse Z1 to the player X in a state where the parameters are changed according to the breeding performed so far by the player Y1 (S017), and breeds the selected racehorse Z1 to the player Y1. A reward for the agency is given (S018), and the training agency flow is terminated. The reward for the training agency may be given not only to the player Y1 but also to the player Y2 who trained the racehorse Z2 that was not selected.

On the other hand, if the completion condition is not satisfied during the breeding agency period, the server 10 appropriately determines whether or not the interruption condition is satisfied for the breeding agency of the racehorse Z by the players Y1 and Y2 (S019). For example, when the number of training weeks after a certain time has passed since the players Y1 and Y2 started the breeding agency for the racehorse Z is less than the predetermined number, or the parameters of the racehorse Z up to that point (particularly,). If the ability value that the player X wants to increase) does not reach the reference value, the interruption condition is satisfied. The server 10 suspends the breeding agency of the racehorse Z by the players Y1 and Y2 for the players Y1 and Y2 satisfying the interruption condition (S020), and ends the breeding agency flow.

On the other hand, while neither the completion condition nor the interruption condition is satisfied, the above steps S011 to S014 and S019 are repeatedly carried out in the training agency flow. That is, as long as the completion condition and the interruption condition are not satisfied, the players Y1 and Y2 can repeatedly perform the breeding operation and the registration operation, and can change the parameters of the racehorse Z each time the breeding operation is performed.

[summary]
The main features of the information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program according to the present embodiment described above are as follows.

[1] In the information processing device according to the present embodiment, a proxy processing unit that causes a plurality of second players to train game objects owned by the first player, and a plurality of second players each train the game objects. It has a return unit for returning one game object to the first player among a plurality of game objects whose parameters have changed according to the above.
According to the above information processing device, it is possible to cause a plurality of second players to train the game objects owned by the first player, and the parameters are changed by the breeding of the game objects by the plurality of second players. Of the plurality of game objects, one game object is returned to the first player. Therefore, for the first player who is the consignor, it is possible to save the trouble of nurturing the game object, and it is also possible to ask a plurality of consignors to act as a nurturing agent and compete for the nurturing result, so that the nurturing can be done with peace of mind. The probability that a game object can be trained so that it can be used as a proxy and has a better ability than when it is trained by itself is improved. In addition, the second player, who is the trustee, will compete with other trustees for one game object to be returned, so it will also be a motivation to improve the ability of the game object and act as a training agent. The quality is improved and it leads to the benefit of the first player. As a result, it is possible to construct an environment in which the game object training agency can be actively used.

[2] In the above information processing apparatus, the return unit returns one game object selected from the plurality of game objects based on the operation of the first player to the first player.
As a result, the first player can select one game object from a plurality of game objects raised by the plurality of second players at his / her own discretion, so that he / she can use the training agency with more peace of mind. In addition, the probability of being able to train a game object so that it has a better ability than when it is trained by itself is further improved. Therefore, it is possible to more preferably construct an environment in which the game object training agency can be actively used.

[3] In the above information processing apparatus, the return unit returns one game object selected from a plurality of game objects based on the value of the parameter to the first player.
As a result, the first player automatically selects one game object having the highest parameter value from the plurality of game objects raised by the plurality of second players, so that the raising agency can be performed with greater peace of mind.
