The acquisition index may include multiple probabilities. For example, in this embodiment, the acquisition index includes three probabilities, a first probability, a second probability, and a third probability. The first probability, the second probability, and the third probability are the probabilities that the reward game media included in the specified reward group are 1, 2, and 3, respectively, in one reward designation. It may be information indicating. For example, if a user's first, second, and third probabilities are 75%, 15%, and 10%, respectively, then the group of rewards displayed in the field in the game part played by that user The probabilities of including one, two, and three rewards are 75%, 15%, and 10%. The probability of the acquisition index may vary depending on the gameplay by the user. Further, the probability of the acquisition index may change depending on the game medium associated with the user, as will be described later.

The user-side determination parameter is information used for determining whether or not to advance the game part using a group of game media designated based on the user operation. In the present embodiment, the user-side determination parameter uses a reward group designated based on the user operation in the game part together with the game medium-side determination parameter (third parameter) set in the game medium of the reward described later. It is used to determine whether or not to advance the game part. The user-side determination parameter may include at least one numerical value or numerical range. For example, the user-side determination parameter may include a numerical value from 1 to 100 or a range of numerical values. In FIG. 2, the user-side determination parameter of the user A includes a numerical range of “10-40”. Further, the user-side determination parameter of the user B includes a numerical value of "95". Further, a plurality of numerical values and numerical ranges of "1, 20-40, 60-80, 100" may be included as the user-side determination parameter of the user D. The value of the user-side determination parameter may change according to the game play by the user. Further, the value of the user-side determination parameter may change depending on the game medium associated with the user, as will be described later.

The game medium information used includes information for specifying the game medium used in the game part from the game media such as items owned by the user in the game. As the game medium information used, for example, a game medium ID for uniquely identifying the game medium of the item described later is used. By designating a game medium from the game media owned by the user based on the user operation, the game medium may be associated with the user as the game medium to be used. The number of game media associated with the user as the game media used may be plural. When the game medium is associated with the user as the game medium used, the value of the parameter of the game medium may be set to the value of the corresponding parameter of the user. For example, as in the example of user C in FIG. 2, when the user does not use any game medium, the game medium information used is set to "-(no setting)", and the acquisition index and the user-side determination parameter are set. Initial values may be set for each of. On the other hand, when the game medium is associated with the user as the game medium used as in the example of the user A and the user B, the value of the above-mentioned parameter is the value of the corresponding parameter of the associated game medium from the initial value. May be changed to.

(Information about game media)
Information about the game medium will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. The information about the game medium may include information specific to the game medium used in the game. The information about the game medium may include a game medium ID which is identification information for uniquely identifying the game medium, and characteristic information indicating the characteristics of the game medium as described later. In the present specification, the game medium ID is also simply referred to as a game medium. Further, the characteristic information is not limited to the example described later, and may include arbitrary information indicating the characteristics of the game medium. The characteristic information may be updated based on the user operation, or may be automatically updated by the game system. Hereinafter, an example of the game medium used in the present embodiment will be specifically described.

FIG. 3 shows information about the game medium of the item owned by the user. Items include, for example, items used in game parts that earn rewards. The game medium of the item includes information such as a game medium name, a rank, an acquisition index, and a user-side determination parameter as characteristic information.

The game medium name is information indicating the name of the game medium.

The rank is information indicating the skill level of the user regarding the game medium. For example, the higher the rank, the higher the skill level of the user regarding the game medium. The value of the rank may be increased according to the game play by the user using the game medium.

The acquisition index is information used to determine the number of game media to be included in the group of reward game media described below. The acquisition index included in the characteristic information of the game medium of the item corresponds to the acquisition index of the information about the user described above. The item's game media acquisition index includes the first, second, and third reward game media that are included in the reward group earned in one game part: 1, 2, and 3. 3 probabilities may be included.

This is information used for determining whether or not to advance a game part using a group of game media designated based on a user-side determination parameter and a user operation. The user-side determination parameter included in the characteristic information of the game medium of the item corresponds to the user-side determination parameter of the above-mentioned information about the user.

The respective values of the acquisition index and the user-side determination parameter may change according to the game play by the user using the game medium as well as the rank. For example, in FIG. 3, it is assumed that the game media having the game media IDs I01 and I02 are the same game media indicating the item A1. Item A1 of I02 has less game play by the user using this game medium, is ranked 1, and has a higher first probability than the second and third probabilities. On the other hand, item A1 of I01 has more in one game part because the rank of the game medium has increased to 10 due to game play, the first probability has decreased, and the second and third probabilities have increased. This is an example that has changed so that you can earn the reward of. In this way, the parameters of the game medium are changed so as to be advantageous to the user according to the game play, so that the user's willingness to continue the game is improved.

These game media can be used in the game part by being associated with the user as the game media used. When the game medium is associated with the user as the game medium used, the value of the parameter of the game medium may be set to the value of the parameter of the corresponding user. For example, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the user A is associated with the item A1 and the item B1 whose game medium IDs are I01 and I04. Therefore, the acquisition index of the game medium of the item and the value of the user-side determination parameter are set to the corresponding parameter values of the user A, respectively. Further, in FIG. 3, the value of the acquisition index of the game medium of the item and the value of the user-side determination parameter may not necessarily be set as in the item displayed as “− (no setting)”. For example, when the user owns a game medium for which a value is not set in the user-side judgment parameter as in item A1 of FIG. 3, the value of the user-side judgment parameter of the user is not changed from the initial value. good. By changing the user's parameters according to the game medium associated with the user in this way, the choices that the user can make increase, and the strategy of the game increases.

FIG. 4 shows information about the game medium of rewards earned in the game part. For example, these game media include a game medium such as a character that is the target of a reward that can be obtained in a game part for which a reward is designated. The reward game medium is information such as a game medium name, a selection index (second parameter), a game medium side judgment parameter, a priority (fifth parameter), a difficulty level (sixth parameter), and a second image as characteristic information. including.

The game medium name is information indicating the name of the game medium.

The selection index is information used when selecting a game medium included in the group of game media described later. For example, a game medium having a higher selection index may be more likely to be included in a group of game media. The selection index may include a plurality of selection probabilities. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the selection index may include three selection probabilities of a selection probability for the first frame, a selection probability for the second frame, and a selection probability for the third frame. At this time, the selection probability for the first frame, the selection probability for the second frame, and the selection probability for the third frame are set in the first frame, the second frame, and the third frame, which can be included in the group of game media described later, respectively. It may be associated.

The selection probability included in the selection index may be used to select the game medium associated with the corresponding frame when selecting the game medium included in the group of game media. For example, in FIG. 4, the selection probability for the first frame, the selection probability for the second frame, and the selection probability for the third frame are 100% when the selection probabilities of all the game media shown in FIG. 4 are totaled. May be set to. For example, in a group of game media described later, character A may be selected from the game media shown in FIG. 4 with a probability of 15% as a reward game medium associated with the first frame of the group. Further, in FIG. 4, as in the item displayed as “-(no setting)” of the character E, the selection probability for the first frame, the selection probability for the second frame, and the selection for the third frame of the reward game medium. The value of the probability does not have to be set. As a result, the character E for which the selection probability for the first frame and the selection probability for the second frame are not set can be targeted only when the game medium to be associated with the third frame of the group is selected. Therefore, the character E is not selected when one game medium is included in the group, and can be selected only when two or three game media are included. In this way, the selection index associated with the game medium can give diversity to the selection of the game medium included in the group of game media.

The game medium side determination parameter is information used for determining whether or not to advance the game part using the group including the game medium. The game medium side determination parameter may be used to determine the game medium side determination parameter of the group when creating a group of game media described later. For example, the game medium side determination parameter of the group may be selected from the game medium side determination parameters associated with the game medium included in the group. The game medium side determination parameter is used in addition to the user side determination parameter set for the user described above to determine whether or not to advance the game part using the reward group specified based on the user operation in the game part. Be done. The game media side determination parameter may include at least one numerical value or numerical range, similar to the user side determination parameter associated with the user. For example, the game medium side determination parameter may include a numerical value from 1 to 100 or a range of numerical values.

The priority is information used when determining information regarding a group of game media described later. For example, when determining information about a group of game media, information on the game media having the highest or lowest priority among the game media included in the group may be used. The priority may be determined based on the rarity value of the game medium or the like. For example, a high value may be set for the priority of the game medium having a high rare value, and a low value may be set for the priority of the game medium having a low rare value. For example, in the present embodiment, among the game media included in the group of game media, the parameter of the game medium having the highest priority value may be determined as the parameter of the group. On the other hand, among the game media included in the group of game media, the image of the game medium having the lowest priority value may be determined as the image of the group.

The difficulty level is information indicating the difficulty level of accomplishing the task corresponding to the game medium. The difficulty may be numerical. The larger the difficulty value, the higher the difficulty of achieving the task corresponding to the game medium in the game part. When creating a group of game media described later, the difficulty level may be used to determine the difficulty level of accomplishing the task corresponding to the group. For example, among the game media included in the group, the difficulty of the game medium having the highest priority may be determined as the difficulty of the group. The group difficulty may be used as the difficulty level of achieving the task for acquiring the reward included in the reward group when the game part progresses using the reward group in the game part.

The second image is information indicating an image of the game medium displayed on the screen. The second image may include the image data itself, information for uniquely specifying the image data, or information for specifying the shape and size when displaying a predetermined image on the screen. In the present embodiment, the second image is used to determine the first image of the group when creating a group of game media described later. For example, the first image of the group can be determined from the second image associated with the game medium included in the group. The second image of the game medium may be information about the image of the reward displayed on the field. By changing the shape and size of the image of the reward when it is displayed on the field, the rare value of the reward or the difficulty of achieving the task for obtaining the reward may be expressed. As a result, the user can infer from the shape and size of the displayed image, even if it is not possible to accurately identify what the game medium is from the image displayed on the screen. This increases the strategic nature of the game. The image associated with one game medium is not limited to the second image. There may be a plurality of images associated with one game medium. For example, in addition to the second image used for displaying on the field, an image for accurately specifying the reward to be displayed when the reward is acquired may be associated with the game medium.

(Information about groups of game media)
Information about a group of game media will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the group of game media can include one or more game media. The game medium may be displayed on the field in units of the group in the game part for which the reward is designated, or a determination as to whether or not the reward may be obtained may be executed. Information about a group of game media may include information specific to the group of game media used within the game part. The information about the group of the game medium may include a group ID which is identification information for uniquely identifying the group, and characteristic information indicating the characteristic of the group as described later. In the present specification, the group ID is also simply referred to as a group. Further, the characteristic information is not limited to the example described later, and may include arbitrary information indicating the characteristics of the group. The characteristic information may be updated based on the user operation, or may be automatically updated by the game system. Hereinafter, an example of a group of game media used in the present embodiment will be specifically described.

FIG. 5 shows information about a group of game media for rewards earned in a game part. The group of game media includes information such as a frame for associating the game media, a determination parameter on the game media side, a difficulty level, and a first image as characteristic information.

A frame for associating a game medium is information used to include the game medium in a group of game media. An ID of one game medium may be associated with one frame. When the game medium group includes an arbitrary number of 1 or more, the game medium group may include an arbitrary number of frames of 1 or more. Although the details will be described later, the number of game media included in the group is determined by using the above-mentioned user acquisition index. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the first probability, the second probability, and the third probability of the user's acquisition index are set to 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and thus they are set. The number of game media included in the group, which is determined by using, is also 1, 2, and 3. Depending on the number of game media included in one group, a maximum of three slots, a first slot, a second slot, and a third slot may be prepared. For example, in FIG. 5, when the second frame and the third frame of the group having the group ID G01 are displayed as "-(no setting)", when there is one game medium to be included in the group, the game medium is included. Only the first frame may be included in the group. Similarly, when the group includes three game media as in the group G02, the three frames of the first frame, the second frame, and the third frame may be included. In another embodiment, the number of frames that can be included in the group is included in the group in advance, and the number of game media included in the group is managed depending on whether or not the game medium is associated with those frames. May be good.

The game medium side determination parameter is information used for determining whether or not to advance the game part using the group. Difficulty is information indicating the difficulty of accomplishing the task corresponding to the group. The first image is information indicating an image of a group displayed on the screen. The game medium-side determination parameter, difficulty, and first image associated with the group are the game medium-side determination parameter, difficulty, and group-wide parameter corresponding to the second image of the reward game medium described above. Each value may be determined based on the parameters of the game medium included in the group or the second image as described below.

The terminal communication unit 21 may include, for example, a wireless communication module, a wireless LAN communication module, a wired LAN communication module, or the like corresponding to a mobile communication standard such as LTE (Long Term Evolution) (registered trademark). The terminal communication unit 21 can send and receive information to and from the server device 10 via the network 30.

The terminal storage unit 22 includes, for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic memory, an optical memory, or the like. The terminal storage unit 22 may function as, for example, a primary storage device or a secondary storage device. The terminal storage unit 22 may be built in the terminal device 20 or may be connected to the terminal device 20 via an arbitrary interface. Further, the terminal storage unit 22 may be a volatile storage device or a non-volatile storage device. Further, the terminal storage unit 22 may be a cache memory of a processor included in the terminal control unit 25, which will be described later. The terminal storage unit 22 stores information and programs used for processing the game. For example, the terminal storage unit 22 may store a game application program acquired from a predetermined application distribution server. Hereinafter, the application program is also simply referred to as an application. The terminal storage unit 22 may store a part or all of the information about the user, the information about the game medium, and the information about the group of the game media acquired from the server device 10.

The display unit 23 includes a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. The display unit 23 can display various screens.

The input unit 24 includes an arbitrary input interface that accepts user operations. The input interface may include, for example, a pointing device such as a mouse, a physical key, and a touch panel integrally provided with the display unit 23.

The terminal control unit 25 includes one or more processors. The terminal control unit 25 controls the operation of the entire terminal device 20. Hereinafter, an example of the operation of the terminal control unit 25 will be specifically described.

The terminal control unit 25 transmits / receives information via the terminal communication unit 21. For example, the terminal control unit 25 acquires information and a program used for processing a game. Specifically, the terminal control unit 25 may acquire the game application from a predetermined application distribution server. The terminal control unit 25 may acquire a part or all of the information about the game medium from the server device 10.

The terminal control unit 25 starts a game application in response to a user operation. The terminal control unit 25 cooperates with the server device 10 to execute the game. For example, the terminal control unit 25 causes the display unit 23 to display the screen used for the game. For example, a plurality of GUIs (Graphic User Interfaces) for detecting a user operation may be displayed on the screen. The terminal control unit 25 can detect a user operation on the screen via the input unit 24.

(Processing of game part)
The operations of the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 that jointly execute the game parts will be specifically described. Here, a configuration will be described in which the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 each execute the same processing, and the server device 10 compares the processing result of the server device 10 and the processing result of the terminal device 20. For the sake of simplicity, the operation of the terminal device 20 will be described, and the operation of the server device 10 that executes the same processing as the terminal device 20 will be omitted.

The terminal control unit 25 stores information about the user and information about a plurality of game media associated with the game part in at least one of the terminal storage unit 22 and the server storage unit 12. More specifically, the terminal control unit 25 stores the acquisition index associated with the user, the plurality of game media associated with the game part, and the selection index associated with each of the plurality of game media. The terminal control unit 25 may start this process at any timing. For example, the terminal control unit 25 may start this process when the input unit 24 receives the user's operation for starting the game part. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 25 may start this process when the game is started. Here, the plurality of game media associated with the game part may be different game media depending on the game part. For example, in a game part for which a reward is specified, different game media can be associated with each game part, so that each game part can express a different field. By making it possible to change the game medium associated with each game part in this way, it is possible to increase the variation of the game part while applying the same game processing. As a result, it is possible to increase the variation of the game by using various game media while suppressing the increase in the calculation processing amount of the game.

The terminal control unit 25 creates a group that can include one or more frames to which the game medium is associated. Here, the number of groups created may be set arbitrarily. For example, in this embodiment, when the game part is started by the user, 20 groups are created.

The terminal control unit 25 determines the number of game media slots to be included in the group based on the acquisition index associated with the user. In the present embodiment, the acquisition index includes three probabilities, a first probability, a second probability, and a third probability. The number of game media slots to be included in the group may be determined by a probability based on the acquisition index. In FIG. 2, the user A has a first probability of 75%, a second probability of 15%, and a third probability of 10%. Based on these probabilities, when User A starts a game part, the created group has a 75% chance of having one game medium, a 15% chance of having two game mediums, or 10 It may be determined to be a group that can include three game media with a probability of%. Similarly, the user C has a second probability and a third probability of 0%. Therefore, when the user C starts the game part, the created group may be determined as a group that can include one game medium with a 100% probability. In the present embodiment, the upper limit of the number of game media that can be included in the group is 3, and the acquisition index has 3 probabilities accordingly. However, the number of game media that the group can include and the number of probabilities included in the acquisition index may be arbitrary. By making the number of game media included in the group of game media in the game part variable based on the parameters associated with the user in this way, the game can be played according to the user's taste, skill level, characteristics, and the like. The development and difficulty level can be changed, and the variation of the game can be increased by using various game media.

The acquisition index associated with the user described above may vary depending on the gameplay by the user. Here, the game play by the user may be the number of times or the time when the user has played the game. Gameplay by the user may be quantified by varying parameters such as the rank associated with the user or the rank associated with the game medium of the item. Depending on the user's gameplay, the user's rank may increase, and the acquisition index associated with the user may change directly accordingly. Alternatively, depending on the gameplay of the user, the rank of the game medium of the item associated with the user rises, and the acquisition index of the game medium changes accordingly, resulting in the user associated with the game medium. The acquisition index may change.

For example, in FIG. 3, the game media having the game medium IDs I01 and I02 are both the same item A1, but the rank of the game medium of I01 is high, and the second and third probabilities are also high accordingly. .. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, when the game media I01 and I02 are associated with the user A and the user B, respectively, the third probability of the user A is 10%, while the third probability of the user B is 0. %. As a result, in the case of the user A, the terminal control unit 25 can determine that the number of frames of the game medium to be included in the group is 3. On the other hand, in the case of the user B, the terminal control unit 25 does not set the number of frames of the game medium included in the group to 3. As a result, even in the same game part, the number of game media that can be included in one group can be changed depending on the user who plays the game, improving the expandability of the game and increasing the variation of the game. be able to.

The terminal control unit 25 associates one of the plurality of game media with each of the above-mentioned frames based on the selection index associated with each of the plurality of game media. In the present embodiment, a game medium associated with each frame of the group is randomly selected from a plurality of game media with a probability set in the selection index. However, the method of selecting the associated game medium in this process is not limited to this. The selection index may be a predetermined numerical value that is not a probability. For example, in other embodiments, the selection index may be information representing the order, and in that order, the game media associated with each frame of the group may be determined from the plurality of game media.

Further, each of the plurality of game media may be associated with one or more selection indexes corresponding to each of the one or more frames that the group can include. Then, the terminal control unit 25 may associate one of the plurality of game media with each of the above-mentioned frames based on the selection index corresponding to each of the frames. For example, in the present embodiment, the selection index includes the selection probability for the first frame, the selection probability for the second frame, and the third frame so as to correspond to the first frame, the second frame, or the third frame of the group. Includes selection probabilities. A game medium may be associated with each frame using a different selection index depending on whether each frame is the first frame, the second frame, or the third frame. For example, in FIG. 5, in the case of a group that can include one game medium such as group G01, the associated games are associated with each other at a ratio corresponding to the selection index for the first frame from the game media of FIG. The medium may be selected. Similarly, in the case of a group that can include three game media such as the group G02, the game medium associated with the first frame from the game media of FIG. 4 according to the selection probability for each first frame is selected. The game medium associated with the second frame according to the selection probability for the second frame may be selected, and the game medium associated with the third frame according to the selection probability for the third frame may be selected.

When the terminal control unit 25 associates the game medium with the frame included in the group, only the value of the selection index for a part of the frames is set as in the character B and the character E in FIG. , The game medium can also be associated only with a specific frame of the group. For example, since the character E has only the selection probability for the third frame set, it is associated with the third frame included in the group only when the number of game media included in the group is three. Therefore, even if the data of the game medium used for the game part and the game processing are not changed, the number of frames included in the group appearing in the game part by changing the acquisition index of the user according to the game play of the user, And the game medium can be changed. As a result, the user feels that the game part changes according to his / her own game play, so that the user's motivation to play repeatedly can be improved without making the game monotonous.

The terminal control unit 25 may determine the first image associated with the group based on the second image of the game medium associated with the frame of the group. More specifically, when the group includes a plurality of frames, the terminal control unit 25 is one from the game media associated with each of the plurality of frames based on the priority associated with the game medium. A game medium may be selected and the second image associated with the selected game medium may be determined as the first image associated with the group. For example, the terminal control unit 25 may use the second image of the game medium having the lowest priority value of the game medium included in the group as the first image of the group. As shown in FIG. 5, the terminal control unit 25 uses the second image of C04, which has the lowest priority value, as the second image of the three game media C02, C03, and C04 included in the group G02. It may be set as the first image.

Further, when the group includes a plurality of frames, the terminal control unit 25 determines the game selected when determining the first image among the game media associated with each of the plurality of frames of the group. The game medium side determination parameter associated with the game medium other than the medium may be determined as the game medium side determination parameter associated with the group. A game medium other than the game medium selected when determining the first image may be selected by any method. For example, in the present embodiment, the terminal control unit 25 uses the second image of the game medium having the lowest priority value of the game medium among the game media included in the group as the first image associated with the group. do. On the other hand, the terminal control unit 25 sets the game medium side determination parameter of the game medium having the highest priority value of the game medium as the game medium side determination parameter associated with the group. As a result, the terminal control unit 25 determines the game medium side determination parameter of the game medium other than the game medium used for determining the first image as the game medium side determination parameter of the group.

The terminal control unit 25 starts the game part by using the group and the game medium associated with the frame included in the group. Before starting the game or the game part in this way, information on the group of game media used in the game part is created in advance in a series of processes and stored in the terminal storage unit 22 and / or the server storage unit 12. By setting the information, it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of calculation processing as compared with the case where information is appropriately created individually while the game is in progress. Further, by creating the group information in advance, it is possible to reduce the processing such as calculation, data reading, or data communication during the progress of the game, which causes a delay in response time.

The terminal control unit 25 displays a game screen for advancing the game part. The terminal control unit 25 causes the display unit 23 to display the game screen. As shown in FIG. 6, on the game screen, a button for inputting information about the user, information on the game medium used by the user, information on the group of game media, information on the result of the progress of the game part, and user operation. Etc. may be included. The details of the game screen displayed on the display unit 23 will be described later with reference to specific examples. The user plays the game part based on the information displayed on the game screen.

The terminal control unit 25 displays the first image associated with the group on the game screen during the execution of the game part. When the first image is specified on the game screen, the game part using the group is based on at least one of the game medium side judgment parameter associated with the group of the first image and the user side judgment parameter associated with the user. Is determined whether or not to proceed. In the present embodiment, the determination as to whether or not to advance the game part using the group may be, for example, the determination as to whether or not the user can acquire the reward group. For example, on the game screen representing the field, the first image is designated on the game screen of the group by a user operation such as moving an image of an item or the like or a pointer close to the first image representing the image of the group. Then, the terminal control unit 25 determines that at least one of the game medium-side determination parameter of the designated first image group and the user-side determination parameter of the user playing the game part satisfies a predetermined condition. The effect of acquiring the reward group may be displayed. The predetermined condition may be a condition relating only to the game medium side determination parameter or the user side determination parameter, or may be a condition relating to both the game medium side determination parameter and the user side determination parameter.

The terminal control unit 25 may make a determination based on a comparison between the game medium side determination parameter and the user side determination parameter in the determination of whether or not to advance the game part using the above-mentioned group. More specifically, the terminal control unit 25 determines whether or not to advance the game part based on at least one match of the numerical value and the numerical range included in each of the game medium side determination parameter and the user side determination parameter. You may. For example, the terminal control unit 25 advances the game part and displays an effect of acquiring a reward group when at least a part of both numerical values and numerical values overlaps. On the other hand, if these do not overlap, the terminal control unit 25 may determine that the game part is not advanced and the effect of acquiring the reward group is not displayed. For example, in FIGS. 2 and 5, the user A in which the numerical range of "10-40" is set in the user-side determination parameter of the user sets the numerical range of "10-90" in the game medium-side determination parameter. When the group G01 is specified, the terminal control unit 25 determines that the effect to be acquired is displayed because a part of the user-side determination parameter of the user A and the game medium-side determination parameter of the group G01 overlap. On the other hand, when the group G03 whose game medium side determination parameter is the numerical value "95" is specified, the terminal control unit 25 does not overlap the user side determination parameter of the user A and the game medium side determination parameter of the group G03. , It is determined that the effect to be acquired is not displayed. In this way, the reward is specified by setting a numerical value or a numerical range having a size and a range for the user-side judgment parameter associated with the user and the game medium-side judgment parameter associated with the group, respectively. It is possible to diversify the difficulty and variation of the game part to be played.

Here, the game medium side determination parameter associated with the user can be changed by changing the game medium used associated with the user. For example, it is assumed that it is once determined that the user cannot acquire the group because the user-side determination parameter of the user and the game medium-side determination parameter of the group do not overlap. In this case, if the game medium used associated with the user is changed based on the user operation and the same reward group is designated again by the same user, it can be determined that the game can be acquired in the future. In this way, the value of the user-side determination parameter associated with the user can be changed, so that the strategic nature of the game part for designating the reward can be enhanced.

An example of the operation of the terminal device 20 in this embodiment will be described. When the user A in FIG. 2 starts the game part, the terminal control unit 25 creates a group that can include a reward game medium such as a character used in the game part. Here, the number of groups to be created is 20. Next, the terminal control unit 25 determines the number of game media frames included in each group based on the first probability, the second probability, and the third probability (acquisition index) associated with the user A. .. In FIG. 5, the number of game media included in the group G01, the group G02, and the group G03 is determined to be 1, 3, and 2, respectively. After that, the terminal control unit 25 has a selection probability for the first frame, a selection probability for the second frame, and a third frame associated with the game medium from a plurality of game media associated with the game part as shown in FIG. Based on the selection probability (selection index), the game medium associated with the first frame, the second frame, and the third frame included in each group is determined. The game media included in each group may be duplicated. For example, in FIG. 5, a game medium having a game medium ID of C01 is set in each of the group G01 and the group G03. Here, in each group, the game medium side determination parameter of the game medium having the highest priority of the game medium included in the group is set as the game medium side determination parameter of the group. On the other hand, in each group, an image (second image) of the game medium having the lowest priority of the game medium included in the group is set as an image (first image) of the group. Therefore, for example, the image 01 of the same game medium C01 is set in both the group G01 including only the game medium C01 and the group G03 including the game media C01 and C05. However, the game medium side determination parameter of the group G01 is set to 10-90, while the game medium side determination parameter of the group G03 is set to 95.

The terminal control unit 25 starts the game part by using the group and the game medium associated with the frame included in the group. When the game part is started, the terminal device 20 displays a screen as shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is an example of a display screen in which the display unit 23 and the input unit 24 are integrally provided in the terminal device 20. On the screen, images of a plurality of reward groups including the first images of the groups G01, G02, and G03 are displayed on the field A. In the present embodiment, 10 groups are displayed first among the 20 groups created, and when one group is acquired by the user, the terminal control unit 25 selects one from the remaining groups and displays it on the screen. Let me. As described above, since the same image 01 is set for the first images of the group G01 and the group G03, images of the same shape and size are displayed on the screen.

When the user A specifies an image of the group by operating the pointer displayed on the screen, the terminal control unit 25 sets the group based on the user side determination parameter of the user A and the game medium side determination parameter of the group. Determine if you can get it. When the user A tries to acquire the group G01, the terminal control unit 25 partially overlaps the game medium side determination parameter "10-90" of the group G01 and the user side determination parameter "10-40". It is determined that the group G01 is acquired. After that, since the game medium included in the group G01 is only the character A, the terminal control unit 25 displays a screen including an image for accurately identifying the character A as shown in FIG. 7. As a result, the game medium included in the group acquired by the user is given to the user. On the other hand, when the user A tries to acquire the group G03, the terminal control unit 25 does not overlap the game medium side determination parameter "95" of the group G03 with the user side determination parameter "10-40", so that the group It is determined that G03 is not acquired, and the screen of FIG. 8 is displayed.

If the user A fails to acquire the group G03, the user A can press the "item exchange" button displayed on the screen to change the game medium of the item associated with the user A as the game medium used. At that time, the user A can press the "item information" button to confirm the item owned by the user A. For example, by changing the item associated with the user A from the item B1 in FIG. 3 to the item B2, the user-side determination parameter of the user A is overwritten by the user-side determination parameter of the item B2, and becomes "95". After that, when the user A tries to acquire the group G03, the terminal control unit 25 acquires the group G03 because the game medium side determination parameter "95" of the group G03 and the user side determination parameter "95" overlap. It is determined that it will be done. Since the group G03 includes the character A and the character E, the terminal control unit 25 displays an image for accurately identifying the two game media as shown in the screen of FIG. As a result, the game media of the characters A and E are given to the user.

(Operation example of terminal device 20)
An example of the operation of the terminal device 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This operation is started by inputting a game part or a user operation for starting the game.

Step S101: The terminal control unit 25 stores information about the user and information about a plurality of game media associated with the game part in at least one of the terminal storage unit 22 and the server storage unit 12.

As described above, the terminal device 20 according to the present embodiment stores the acquisition index associated with the user, the plurality of game media associated with the game part, and the selection index associated with each of the plurality of game media. do. The terminal device 20 creates a group that can include one or more frames with which the game medium is associated. The terminal device 20 determines the number of slots to be included in the group based on the acquisition index. The terminal device 20 associates one of a plurality of game media with each of the frames based on the selection index. The terminal device 20 starts the game part by using the group and the game medium associated with the frame included in the group. The terminal device 20 displays a game screen for advancing the game part. In this way, based on the information of the user and the game medium, the information of the group of the game medium used in the game and the game medium included in the group is created in advance before the game starts, so that the information of the game medium included in the group is created in advance during the progress of the game. Compared to the case where group information is sequentially created individually, it is possible to increase the variation of the game by using various game media while suppressing an increase in the amount of calculation processing of the game and a delay in the response time. This makes it possible to improve the user's willingness to continue playing the game.

In this embodiment, each of the plurality of game media is associated with one or more selection indices corresponding to each of the one or more slots that the group can include. The terminal device 20 according to the present embodiment associates one game medium from a plurality of game media with each of the frames based on the selection index corresponding to each of the frames. As a result, the game media that can be set in the group can be changed according to the number of frames of the group, and the variation of the game can be increased by using various game media.

In the present embodiment, the acquisition index associated with the user changes according to the game play by the user. As a result, even in the same game part, the number of frames included in the group determined based on the acquisition index changes, so that different effects can be executed depending on the user who plays the game, and the variation of the game can be increased. ..

Further, the terminal device 20 according to the present embodiment displays the first image associated with the group on the game screen during the execution of the game part. When the first image is specified on the game screen, the terminal device 20 uses the group to play a game part based on at least one of the game medium side determination parameter associated with the group and the user side determination parameter associated with the user. Is determined whether or not to proceed. The terminal device 20 determines whether or not to advance the game part using this group based on the comparison between the game medium side determination parameter and the user side determination parameter. In this way, it is possible to increase the variation of the game by directing the progress of different game parts by at least one of the user's information and the group's information.

In the present embodiment, each of the game medium side determination parameter and the user side determination parameter includes at least one of a numerical value and a numerical range. The terminal device 20 determines whether or not to advance the game part using the above-mentioned group based on the agreement between the game medium side determination parameter and the user side determination parameter. In this way, by making a judgment based on the matching of the numerical value and the numerical range between the parameters associated with the user and the group, the variation of the parameter associated with the user and the group is increased, and the progress of the game part is also varied. It can be increased, and the variation of the game can be increased by using various game media while suppressing the increase in the calculation processing amount of the game.

In the present embodiment, a second image is associated with each of the plurality of game media, and the terminal device 20 is further associated with the group based on the second image of the game medium associated with the frame of the group. Determine the image. Further, in the present embodiment, when the priority is associated with each of the plurality of game media, and the terminal device 20 includes a plurality of frames in the determination of the first image associated with the group, the terminal device 20 is used. Based on the priority, one game medium is selected from the game media associated with each of the plurality of frames, and the second image associated with the selected game medium is determined as the first image associated with the group. .. In this way, the first image associated with the group is determined based on the priority of the game medium included in the group, so that the user can select the game medium included in the group from the image displayed on the screen. You can guess, and this information makes the game more strategic.

In the present embodiment, the terminal device 20 is associated with a game medium other than the selected game medium among the game media associated with each of the plurality of frames of the group in the determination of the first image associated with the group. The game medium side determination parameter is determined as the game medium side determination parameter associated with the group. As described above, among the game media included in the group, the second image and the game medium side determination parameter associated with different game media are determined by the first image and the game medium side determination parameter of the group. By including a game medium different from the game medium estimated to be included in the group from the image displayed on the screen by the user, the game progresses differently from the user's expectation, which is unexpected for the user. It is possible to produce a game part with a certain character, and improve the fun of the game.

As another embodiment of the present disclosure, a so-called symbol encounter type game part such as role-playing in which a player plays against an enemy character displayed on the field may be included. Specifically, in role-playing a match, the number of enemy characters included in a group of enemy characters (enemy group) based on information about the user and a plurality of game media (enemy characters) associated with the game part. And the enemy character is determined. When the game part is started using this information, an image (first image) of the enemy character included in the enemy group is displayed on the field representing the battlefield. When the image of the enemy group is specified based on the user operation, is the game part such as the battle with the enemy group shown in the image progressed based on at least one of the user side judgment parameter and the game medium side judgment parameter? Judge whether or not. As the battle progresses, the user achieves a task such as winning the enemy group, and the user obtains one or more enemy characters included in the enemy group or a reward corresponding to the enemy character.

Further, as another embodiment of the present disclosure, a role-playing game part such as a treasure hunt for searching an item from a treasure box or the like displayed on the field may be included. Specifically, in treasure hunting role-playing, the number of items included in a group of items and the items are determined based on information about the user and a plurality of game media (items) associated with the game part. .. Each item may be associated with a treasure chest image. Using this information, when the game part is started, an image of the treasure chest (first image) included in the group of items is displayed on the field. When the image of the treasure box is specified based on the user operation, the progress of the game part such as unlocking the group of items shown by the image of the treasure box is performed based on at least one of the judgment parameter on the user side and the judgment parameter on the game medium side. Determine if it is possible. When the treasure chest is unlocked, the user acquires one or more items included in the treasure chest by accomplishing a task such as the user owning a key that matches the treasure chest.

Although the present invention has been described based on the drawings and embodiments, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications and modifications based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each means, each step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to be logically inconsistent, and a plurality of means, steps, etc. can be combined or divided into one. ..

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the game medium included in the group is specified by including the frame for associating the game medium in the group, but it is not always necessary to use the frame. The game medium may be directly associated with the group.

Further, for example, in the above-described embodiment, whether the terminal device 20 advances the game part using the group by using the game medium side determination parameter associated with the group and the user side determination parameter associated with the user. It was determined whether or not it was, but it is not limited to these. For example, the terminal device 20 determines whether or not to advance the game part using the group based on the game medium side determination parameter or the user side determination parameter, and when the game part progresses, the difficulty level associated with the group is further increased. A two-step decision may be made to determine if the task is achieved. For example, in a game part for which a reward is specified, it is determined whether or not the game part for acquiring a reward group is progressed based on the game medium side judgment parameter and the user side judgment parameter, and the game part is progressed. Further, based on the difficulty level, it may be determined whether or not the task of acquiring a reward group can be achieved. For example, in FIG. 5, after it is determined that the group G01 has been acquired in the reward acquisition game part, the terminal device 20 is the result of the progress of the game part based on the value "20" set in the difficulty level of the group G01. It is possible that the group cannot be acquired with a 20% probability and can be acquired with an 80% probability. For example, in the above-mentioned fishing game part, the progress of the game part using the group may be that the group of fish hits the bait (bites the bait). Also, in the game part of fishing, the achievement of the task may be to catch a group of fish.

Further, in the present embodiment described above, the server device 10 may perform a part or all of the operations and processes executed by the terminal device 20. Similarly, the terminal device 20 may perform a part of the operation executed by the server device 10. For example, processing such as display control of various screens displayed on the terminal device 20 and control of various GUIs may be executed by either the server device 10 or the terminal device 20, and the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 may execute the processes. It may be carried out in collaboration. Alternatively, the game system 1 does not have to include the server device 10. In such a case, the terminal device 20 may store in advance the information received from the server device 10 in the above-described embodiment.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example of the operation of the terminal device 20 has been described with reference to FIG. However, some steps included in the operation or some operations included in one step may be omitted. The order of a plurality of steps may be changed within a range that is not logically inconsistent.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, at least a part of the screen displayed on the terminal device 20 is a web display to be displayed on the terminal device 20 based on the data generated by the server device 10, and at least a part of the screen is displayed on the terminal. It may be a native display displayed by a native application installed in the device 20. As described above, the game according to the above-described embodiment may be a hybrid game in which the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 each play a part in the processing.

Further, in order to function as the server device 10 or the terminal device 20 according to the above-described embodiment, an information processing device such as a computer or a mobile phone can be preferably used. Such an information processing device stores a program describing processing contents that realize each function of the server device 10 or the terminal device 20 according to the embodiment in the storage unit of the information processing device, and the CPU of the information processing device determines the program.
