<About the service related to this embodiment>
The communication system shown in FIG. 1 (hereinafter referred to as an information processing system S) is a communication system including an information processing device (hereinafter referred to as a server 10) according to an embodiment of the present invention. The information processing system S is a computer system that is responsible for all operations related to the implementation of the competition, and provides competition-related services to players and users. Specifically, the player is provided with an environment for playing the competition, and the user is provided with an environment for watching the competition.

A "competition" is an event related to a competition in which players compete for superiority or inferiority in skills or abilities according to certain rules such as games or sports, and usually one or a plurality of games are organized and held. When multiple games are held together, the method of determining the winner or ranking is the tournament method (winning match), the league method (brute force), or the combination of the tournament method and the league method, or these. It may be a method derived from the above, or it may be another method. Further, when a plurality of games are organized and held, the competition is not limited to the case where a plurality of games of the first type are performed, and a plurality of competitions of different events may be combined. In addition, the competition may be composed of a final round and a preliminary round (preliminary round) for selecting participants in the final round. Normally, in a competition, a reward is given to the player according to the competition result (game result) such as the final ranking of the competition, the result of each game, or the content of the game.

In this embodiment, as an example of a competition held in a competition, e-sports (electronic sports) in which players compete for victory or defeat in a computer game will be described. The game genre of e-sports is not particularly limited, and may be any game genre. For example, it may be a fighting game, a sports game, a shooting game, a racing game, a puzzle game, a card game, a board game, a role-playing game, a simulation game, or the like. Further, the e-sports may be an individual competition or a team competition. Further, humans may play against each other as players, or humans and computers (for example, AI or robots) may play against each other.

The e-sports of the present embodiment is an online game provided by using the information processing system S. Specifically, when a player (a person who participates in a competition as a competitor) performs a game play operation on the player terminal 11, the player terminal 11 is distributed from a server computer (hereinafter, server 10) of a game provider. Receive data for game progress. The player terminal 11 outputs video and audio according to the received data, and the player advances the game while checking the output video and audio. Further, the player terminal 11 transmits data indicating the player's operation content such as a game play operation to the server 10, and the server 10 directs the game progress data according to the player's operation content to the player terminal 11. And send. Such data transmission / reception between the server 10 and the player terminal 11 is repeated until the player finishes playing the game.

On the other hand, the user (the person who participates in the competition as a spectator) does not actually participate in the competition and actually play the game like the player, and the player is playing the game on the user terminal 12. Watch the game by watching the video showing the situation. Specifically, the user terminal 12 receives the game progress data delivered from the server 10. The user terminal 12 outputs video and audio according to the received data, and the user views the output video and audio. Further, the user terminal 12 transmits data indicating the user's operation content such as a cheering operation to the server 10, and the server 10 directs the game progress data according to the user's operation content to the user terminal 12. Send. Such data transmission / reception between the server 10 and the user terminal 12 is repeated until the player finishes playing the game.

In the present embodiment, the user not only simply watches the competition, but also before the start of the competition or the game (each game of the game played in the competition; the same shall apply hereinafter), or in the competition or the game. It is also possible to support any player during the implementation. In addition, the user can receive the privilege when cheering is performed or when the player to be cheered wins the game.

"Support" is a form of watching a game along with viewing, and is to send some value from the user to the player designated by the user. When there are a plurality of players participating in a competition or a match, the user selects one or a plurality of players from the plurality of players as the players to be supported. The support target is arbitrarily specified by the user on the support target selection screen G1 (FIG. 2).

The content of support, that is, the content of the value sent (given) from the user to the player, is, for example, money, in-game currency, game medium, support message such as cheering or applause, support vote, or competition result. Includes voting, etc. for betting money, etc. in anticipation. The content of support may be determined by the user's choice, or may be determined automatically or randomly regardless of the user's intention. Further, it may be preset for each competition or match or for each player. When the support content is determined by the user's selection, the user arbitrarily specifies it on the support content selection screen G2 (FIG. 3).

The "in-game currency" is a kind of game object that can be used in the game, and is a value that can be used as a currency (exchange medium) in the game such as a medal. The in-game currency can be exchanged for other items, characters, etc., or consumed for special play. The games in which the in-game currency can be used are not limited to the games played as competitions (the same shall apply hereinafter).

The "game medium" is a kind of game object that can be used in a game, and includes an item, a character, and the like. In the game medium, parameters such as the player character can be changed in real time even during game play, such as recovering the physical strength of the player character used in the game or increasing the attack power. Including what you can do. The games that can be used as game media are not limited to the games that are played as competitions (the same shall apply hereinafter).

Here, an example of the support target selection screen G1 and the support content selection screen G2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. In the present embodiment, the support content selection screen G2 is limited to the support target selection screen G1 after the user selects the support target player on the support target selection screen G1. is not. For example, the transition from the support content selection screen G2 to the support target selection screen G1 may be performed. The support target selection screen G1 and the support content selection screen G2 may be displayed at least on the user terminal 12 used by the user, but may also be displayed on the player terminal 11 used by the player.

As shown in FIG. 2, the support target selection screen G1 is a list screen of players, and information for identifying a player such as a player name and a privilege set in association with each player (first privilege). ) Is displayed. Further, on the support target selection screen G1, the support buttons 71 and 72 are displayed as icons for the user to specify the player to be supported. The cheering buttons 71 and 72 are arranged in association with each player. In the present embodiment, the support button 71 is an icon that supports the player P1, and the support button 72 is an icon that supports the player P2. That is, when the user selects and supports the player P1, the support button 71 is selected and tapped, and when the player P2 is selected and supported, the support button 72 is selected and tapped.

As shown in FIG. 3, the support content selection screen G2 is a list screen of values (support contents) that the user can send to the player, and information indicating the selectable value is displayed. Further, on the support content selection screen G2, selection buttons 73, 74, 75 associated with each value (for example, in-game currency, item, cheering, etc.) are displayed as icons for the user to specify the support content. Has been done. After arbitrarily determining the value to be sent to the player to be supported as the support content, the user selects and taps the selection buttons 73, 74, 75 corresponding to the value. Although not shown, the amount of support can be specified after the content of support is determined (for example, 100 points for in-game currency).

The "privilege" is a value given to a user, and corresponds to treatment, rights, goods, or the like. Benefits include, for example, in-game currency such as medals, game media such as items or characters, money, or cash vouchers. Further, the benefits are classified into the first benefit and the second benefit.

The "first privilege" is a support privilege that can be given to a user who supports the player. The content of the first privilege differs depending on the player to be supported and the timing at which the player to be supported receives support from the user. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of benefits that are candidates for the first benefit, that is, a set of game objects, are set for each player, and the timing at which support is received from the user. A predetermined privilege is selected and determined as the first privilege from among those plurality of privileges set for the player designated as the support target. At this time, the types of benefits included in the plurality of benefits may be one type or a plurality of types. Further, the number of benefits selected as the first benefit may be singular or plural.

The content of the first privilege is the same as the content of the privilege exemplified above, but the content may be the following (a)-(c) or the like.
(A) At least part of the data used by the player in the game. The data here corresponds to, for example, data such as a player character, an item, a special move, a formation, or a game record used by the player.
(B) The right that a user can jointly play with a player when a plurality of players jointly play a game. The game in which joint play is possible here may be played at a different opportunity from the competition, or may be changed to the player's position during the competition. (For example, play together from the next game).
(C) The right that a user can belong to the same team (group) as a player when a plurality of players form a team and play a game. The game that can be played by the same team here may be played at a different opportunity from the competition, or may be changed to the player's position during the competition. You may (for example, play together from the next game).

As shown in FIG. 4, the first privilege is selected and determined from a plurality of benefits (a set of game objects) set for each player, and the first privilege is included in the plurality of benefits. The content of the privilege that is a candidate for one privilege may be automatically set for each player, or may be set by the player himself / herself. In addition, the plurality of benefits include those having different types of benefits, degree of benefits (superiority), number of benefits granted, and the like. For example, there are cases where the types of benefits are different, the types of benefits are the same but the degree of benefits is different, or the types and degrees of benefits are the same but the number of grants is different.

Also, the value of cheering associated with the player, for example, the number of users cheering for the player (number of cheers), the amount of money invested in the player, the amount of in-game currency, the amount of game media, cheering. A plurality of benefits may be set according to the number of messages, the number of support votes, the voting amount, etc. (support amount). That is, the contents of the plurality of benefits may change depending on the number of cheers or the amount of cheers. For example, a first privilege that is attractive to the user is given by increasing the number of highly rare game objects included in a plurality of benefits, as compared with a player who has a large number of cheers or a small amount of cheers. It may be easier. On the contrary, when the number of cheers or the amount of cheers increases, it may be easier to give the first privilege attractive to the user by adding a game object having a higher rarity among the plurality of benefits.

The first privilege is determined according to the timing when the support is received from the user among the plurality of privileges set in association with the player designated as the support target. That is, the content (type and number of grants) of the first privilege that can be granted varies depending on when and when the support for the player is received from the user. Specifically, the content of the first privilege changes depending on the progress of the competition or match at the timing when the support from the user is received, or the number of users (number of support) associated with the player. do. For example, a user who cheers at an early stage is given a first privilege having a content more advantageous than a user who cheers at a later time. Specifically, good benefits are given to users who support the competition or the timing when the game has just begun. Further, it may be determined according to the range of the number of cheers associated with the player. For example, for a user who cheers for a player whose cheering number is still small (a player whose cheering number is 1 to 100), the cheering number Gives better benefits than users who cheer for a slightly larger number of players (players with 101-200 cheers).

"Progress" indicates the degree of progress of the competition or match. For example, the following contents (a)-(e) and the like can be mentioned.
(A) Before the start of the competition. When multiple games are organized and a competition is held, it corresponds to the case where none of the games are held.
(B) Before the match in which the player to be supported participates. This applies when the competition is already being held but the player has not yet played a match.
(C) During the match of the player to be supported. Further, even in the middle of the game, it may be further subdivided into the first half and the second half, or the case where the player is superior and the case where the player is inferior.
(D) After the match of the player to be supported.
(E) The number of games played by the players to be supported. For example, if the competition is a tournament system, the number of rounds is applicable, and if the competition is a league system, the number of games is applicable. In the case of a competition in which the final round and the qualifying round are held, whether it is the final round or the qualifying round is applicable.

The content of the first privilege is the amount of support for the user's player, that is, the amount of money, the amount of in-game currency, the amount of game media, the number of support messages, the number of support votes, the voting amount, etc. , The user may vary depending on the viewing time or the like of viewing the player's play. For example, a user who has a large amount of support or viewing time may be more likely to be given a privilege having an advantageous content from a plurality of set benefits as the first privilege, or the amount of support or viewing time within a predetermined period. For a user who has reached the reference value or more, the granting of a specific game object such as a game object having a high rarity may be confirmed from among a plurality of set benefits. In addition, when the amount of support of the user reaches the standard value or more, the contents of the set multiple benefits (contents of the set of game objects) themselves are upgraded to support at the same timing. Even if there is, it may be easier to obtain more advantageous benefits. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the contents of the plurality of benefits set for the user are changed to the benefits with high rarity (rareness).

The "reference value" is a predetermined value set for the amount of support or the viewing time. The reference value may be set uniformly in advance, may be set according to the progress of the competition or the game, or the player may set his / her own reference value. Further, the reference value may be a value that does not fluctuate once set, or may fluctuate as appropriate according to the progress status or the like. It should be noted that the user may be presented with how much more support is required to reach the reference value, and for example, the user may be able to confirm on the support target selection screen G1 or the support content selection screen G2.

In addition, the user can select the type or number of first benefits according to the timing when the user cheers, the amount of cheering by the user, or the viewing time when the user watches the player's play. You may be able to do it. For example, a user who cheered before the start of a competition or a match, a user who cheered on a player with 100 or less cheers, or a user who cheered or reached a viewing time of 100 or less. , The user can select and acquire a desired privilege from a plurality of privileges set for the player to be supported.

The "second privilege" is a result privilege given to the user according to the competition result of the player, and is given, for example, when the player to be supported wins. The content of the second privilege is determined based on the player's competition result and the grant condition set in association with the player. The first benefit and the second benefit may be related benefits or independent benefits. Here, the related privilege may be such that the privilege to be given to the user is determined based on both the first privilege and the second privilege. The independent privilege may be such that the first privilege and the second privilege can be separately given to the user.

The "grant condition" is, for example, 10 times the number of grants if support is received before the start of the competition or match, and 5 times the number of grants if the competition is a tournament system and the semi-final match. , 10 times in the final match, game medium A in the qualifying round, game medium B in the final round, etc., which is a condition used to determine how many benefits of which type are to be given. The granting conditions may be set uniformly in advance, may be set according to the progress of the competition or the game, or may be set by the player himself / herself. If support is provided after the start of the competition or match, the second benefit will be determined based on the grant conditions satisfied after the start of support.

Further, the content of the first privilege may change according to the content of the second privilege. For example, for a user who has acquired many second benefits (a user whose acquisition amount or number of acquisitions of the second benefit is larger than that of other users), the content that is advantageous from among the plurality of set benefits is advantageous. The privilege may be easily granted as the first privilege, or the number of grants of the first privilege may be increased.

Further, the content of the second privilege may be related to the number of grants of the first privilege. For example, the content of a plurality of benefits (types of benefits) may be determined at the timing of receiving support from the user, and the quantity (number of benefits granted) may be determined according to the competition result. That is, at the time when the support is received, the set of game objects is determined at that timing, only the type of the first privilege is determined, and the user is not yet given the first privilege. Then, according to the competition result of the player, in the second privilege, the number of the game objects to be given (five if the player wins, one if the player loses, etc.) is determined. As a result, after the competition result is obtained, the type of privilege determined by the timing of receiving the support is given to the user as the first privilege in the quantity determined as the second privilege. Normally, it is preferable to increase the number of grants when the player wins. On the other hand, the pattern opposite to the above, that is, the quantity may be determined at the timing when the support is received, and the type of privilege may be determined according to the competition result.

As with the first privilege, the content of the second privilege is the amount of support for the user's player, that is, the amount of money, the amount of in-game currency, the amount of game media, the number of support messages, the number of support votes or voting. It may vary depending on the amount of money, etc., or the viewing time, etc., in which the user has watched the player's play. For example, when the amount of support of the user reaches the standard value or more, by upgrading the contents of the set benefits, even if the same grant conditions are applied, it is easier to obtain more advantageous benefits. good. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the number of grants set for the user increases.

Further, the game of the present embodiment may be a joint play compatible game in which a plurality of players can operate each player terminal 11 to play jointly. That is, the player can play alone (solo play) as well as so-called multi-play (hereinafter referred to as joint play) in which the player plays together with other players at the same time. The joint play compatible game includes a cooperative play game in which a plurality of players cooperate and a competitive game in which a plurality of players compete against each other, but any type may be used.

In the game of the present embodiment, the number of players who play the game together and the number of users who watch the game may be set to any number without particular limitation, but the maximum number of players or the minimum number of players may be set in advance. It may be specified. Further, the game of the present embodiment can be played by players, users, or players and users forming a team. The combination of players, users, or players and users, such as members who play the game together (including opponents), team members, or members of joint play, is not particularly limited, but for example, a certain player or Other players or users who have a friendship with the user and who have approved each other (hereinafter referred to as friends) may play together or form a team.

In particular, the privilege determination unit 63 determines a set of predetermined game objects as the first privilege from the set of a plurality of game objects existing according to the timing when the support is received from the user, and the number of grants determined as the second privilege. The game object may be selected from the set of game objects determined as the first privilege and given to the user. The quantity may be determined as the first privilege at the timing when the support is received, and the type of privilege may be determined as the second privilege according to the competition result.

The privilege granting unit 64 grants the first privilege determined by the privilege setting unit 63 from the plurality of privileges set by the privilege setting unit 61 to the user who has supported. That is, the first privilege is given to the user when the support for the player is received. In addition, the second privilege determined by the privilege determination unit 63 based on the player's competition result is given to the user who has supported.

The configurations of the server 10, the player terminal 11, and the user terminal 12 have been described above. In general, the server 10, the player terminal 11, and the user terminal 12 have various functions other than the above, but here, the information processing system S in the present invention has a characteristic effect. Only the functions will be described, and illustration and description of other known functions will be omitted.

<Information processing flow according to one embodiment of the present invention>
Next, the flow of information processing (hereinafter referred to as an information processing flow) executed in the information processing system S having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 or 11. The information processing flow adopts the information processing method of the present invention and is realized by using the information processing system S that functions as a computer system. In other words, each step in the information processing flow corresponds to a component of the information processing method of the present invention. The information processing flow described below is merely an example, and unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the step execution order may be changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention. ..

[Information processing flow]
First, the basic information processing flow from the setting of the privilege to the granting of the privilege will be described. This information processing flow is a process of granting a privilege (or the first privilege or both the first privilege and the second privilege) to the user when the user supports the player, and is a competition-related service. It is an information processing flow that is the basis of the progress. This information processing flow proceeds, for example, along the flow shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 10, first, the server 10 (specifically, the privilege setting unit 61), which is a computer, sets a plurality of privileges for each player (S101). Specifically, the privilege setting unit 61 sets a plurality of privileges for each player according to the information based on the privilege setting operation acquired by the first information acquisition unit 41 from the player terminal 11 of the player through the network 14, and sets the privilege. The plurality of benefits are stored in the player information storage unit 32. In the present embodiment, a plurality of benefits are set by the player himself / herself, but a plurality of benefits may be set according to the number of users associated with the player and the like.

When the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) determines that the support has been received from the user (S102: YES), that is, the second information acquisition unit 42 performs the support operation from the user terminal 12 of the user through the network 14. When the information based on the information is acquired, the timing at which the support is received is specified (S103).

Next, the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) determines the first privilege that can be given to the user according to the timing of receiving the support from the user (S104). Specifically, the privilege determination unit 63 is associated with the progress status of the competition or match at the timing when the support from the user is received, and the player from among the plurality of privileges set for the player designated by the user. The first privilege is determined according to the number of users (number of cheers) or the amount of cheers by the users associated with the player.

Next, when the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) determines that the support target player has won the game from the competition result after the game play of the support target player is completed (S105:). YES), the second privilege that can be given to the user is determined based on the grant condition set in association with the player (S106). Then, the server 10 (specifically, the privilege granting unit 64) grants both the determined privilege of the first privilege and the second privilege to the user (S107), and ends the process. Specifically, the information of the given first privilege and the second privilege is stored in the user information storage unit 33, and the process is terminated.

On the other hand, when the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) determines from the competition result that the player to be supported has lost the game (S105: NO), the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) does not determine the second privilege and directly follows. Move to processing. Then, the server 10 (specifically, the privilege granting unit 64) grants the determined first privilege to the user (S108), and ends the process. Specifically, the information of the given first privilege is stored in the user information storage unit 33, and the process is terminated.

If the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) determines that the support from the user is not accepted (S102: NO), the server 10 ends the process as it is.
The above is an example of the information processing flow of the present invention.

[Other information processing flow]
Next, other information processing flows from setting the privilege to granting the privilege will be described. The other information processing flow is a process of granting a privilege (or the first privilege or both the first privilege and the second privilege) to the user when the user supports the player, and can be acquired. It differs from the above information processing flow in that the user can select the first privilege. The other information processing flow proceeds along, for example, the flow shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 11, first, the server 10 (specifically, the privilege setting unit 61), which is a computer, sets a plurality of privileges for each player (S201). After that, when the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) determines that the support has been received from the user (S202: YES), the server 10 specifies the timing of receiving the support (S203).

Subsequently, when the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) determines that the amount of support by the user is equal to or greater than the reference value (S204: YES), the server 10 accepts the selection of the first privilege from the user (S205), and the user. The first privilege that can be granted to the user is determined (S206). Specifically, the privilege determination unit 63 is selected from a plurality of privileges set in the player according to the information based on the privilege selection operation acquired by the second information acquisition unit 42 from the user terminal 12 through the network 14. The privilege selected by the user is determined as the first privilege. If it is determined that the amount of support by the user does not reach the standard value (S204: NO), the process proceeds to the next process as it is, and the first privilege that can be given to the user according to the timing of receiving support from the user is given. Determine (S206).

Next, when the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) determines that the support target player has won the game from the competition result after the game play of the support target player is completed (S207: YES), the second privilege that can be given to the user is determined based on the grant condition set in association with the player (S208). Then, the server 10 (specifically, the privilege granting unit 64) grants both the determined privilege of the first privilege and the second privilege to the user (S209), and ends the process.

On the other hand, when the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) determines from the competition result that the player to be supported has lost the game (S207: NO), the server 10 (specifically, the privilege granting unit 64) , The determined first privilege is given to the user (S210), and the process is terminated.

If the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) determines that the support from the user is not accepted (S202: NO), the server 10 ends the process as it is.
The above is an example of another information processing flow of the present invention.

[Further information processing flow]
Next, another information processing flow from the setting of the privilege to the granting of the privilege will be described. Further, another information processing flow is a process of granting a privilege (first privilege) to the user when the user supports the player, and determines the number of the first privilege to be granted as the second privilege. In that respect, it differs from the above two information processing flows. Still other information processing flows proceed along, for example, the flow shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 12, first, the server 10 (specifically, the privilege setting unit 61), which is a computer, sets a plurality of privileges, that is, a set of game objects for each player (S301). After that, when the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) determines that the support has been received from the user (S302: YES), the server 10 specifies the timing of receiving the support (S303).

Next, the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) determines the type of the first privilege that can be given to the user according to the timing when the support is received from the user (S304). Specifically, the privilege determination unit 63 is a competition or a match at the timing when the support from the user is received from any one of a plurality of privileges (a set of game objects) set for the player designated by the user. A privilege that can be given as the first privilege by selecting a predetermined set of game objects according to the progress of the game, the number of users associated with the player (number of cheers), or the amount of support by the users associated with the player. Determine the type of.

Next, when the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) determines that the support target player has won the game from the competition result after the game play of the support target player is completed (S305: YES), the number X of the privilege that can be granted as the first privilege is determined as the second privilege based on the grant condition set in association with the player (S306). On the other hand, when the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) determines from the competition result that the support target player has lost the game (S305: NO), it is based on the grant condition set in association with the player. Therefore, the number Y of the benefits that can be granted as the first benefit is determined as the second benefit (S307). The number of grants Y is smaller than the number of grants X.

Then, the server 10 (specifically, the privilege granting unit 64) grants the privilege of the number of grants determined as the second privilege from the types of the privilege determined as the first privilege to the user as the first privilege (S308). ), End the process. Specifically, the information of the given first privilege is stored in the user information storage unit 33, and the process is terminated.

If the server 10 (specifically, the privilege determination unit 63) determines that the support from the user is not accepted (S302: NO), the server 10 ends the process as it is.
The above is an example of yet another information processing flow of the present invention.
