The server 20 that has received the participation request checks whether or not the participation request can be accepted, and sends a participation permission response to the player terminal 40 during the holding period. If the race corresponding to the received participation request is not being held or during server maintenance, or if the participation request cannot be accepted, an error response will be given.

On the player terminal 40 that has received the participation permission response from the server 20, the character registration screen is displayed, and the player is notified that the participation registration of the three characters has become possible through the character registration screen. As shown in FIG. 6, the character registration screen is provided with registration frames 101 to 103 for three bodies, and when tap input is performed for the registration frames 101 to 103, a list of characters that the player has completed training is displayed. It is displayed and you can select one character from it.

Then, when the player taps the enter button 104 in the situation where the three characters are selected in the registration frame on the character registration screen, the run registration including the information of the three characters selected by the player from the player terminal 40 is performed. The request is sent to server 20. The server 20 that has received the race registration request from the player terminal 40 registers the three characters included in the race registration request in the race registration record in association with the player ID (step S102). It should be noted that the race registration request is also checked whether or not the race registration can be accepted. For example, if the race registration cannot be accepted due to server maintenance or the like, an error response is performed.

When the entry registration of the three characters selected by the player is completed, the server 20 sends a registration completion response to the player terminal 40 and starts accepting matching (step S103). On the player terminal 40 that has received the registration completion response from the server 20, the display screen transitions to the base screen. As shown in FIG. 7, on the base screen, images 201 to 203 of the three characters registered to run are displayed, and a run button 204 for running in the race is displayed. The display of the three characters on the base screen is controlled so as to be arranged in ascending order of team member IDs (“1” is on the left, “2” is in the middle, and “3” is on the right) from the left. In addition, on the base screen, the results of the last five races of the player's special race are also displayed.

When a tap input is made to the start button 204 on the base screen displayed on the player terminal 40, a matching request is transmitted from the player terminal 40 to the server 20. The server 20 that receives the matching request from the player terminal 40 matches the three players and assigns a matching ID, and "1" to each of the three matched players in the order of receiving the matching request. A matching process is performed in which the team ID of "3" is assigned and a new battle record is created (step S104).

When the matching of the three players participating in the race is completed, the server 20 edits the article regarding the advance information of the race (step S105) and performs the running simulation of the race (step S106).

First, regarding article editing, article editing information is generated for each player. First, for the player to whom the article is provided, a lottery is performed to pick up one character from the three characters registered by the player. Next, for the remaining two players of the opponent, the character with the highest evaluation score is picked up one by one from the youngest team ID. If the character to be picked up by the opponent player overlaps with the character to be picked up by the player to whom the article is provided, the character with the next highest evaluation point is controlled to be picked up.

When the pick-up of the character for article editing is completed, the editing information of the first side (headline), the second side (attention character), and the third side (character battle record) of the article is generated.

Regarding one side (heading) shown in FIG. 8, "title" (display text 301), "subtitle" (display text 302), "race brief" (display text 303), "attention player" (display text 304). Set the display text for.

Regarding the "title" and "subtitle" in the qualifying round, as shown in FIG. 9, table data A1 and table data A2 in which a plurality of types of paired display texts are prepared exist in the editing material database 52, and the article Table data is selected according to the winning rate of the character to be picked up by the player to be provided, and the lottery target of the display text is set.

Specifically, it is determined whether or not the character to be picked up by the player to which the article is provided is the character with the highest winning percentage among the three characters registered to run. When there are a plurality of characters having the highest winning percentage including the character to be picked up, the character to be picked up is treated as the character having the highest winning percentage.

Then, when it is determined that the winning rate of the character to be picked up by the player to which the article is provided is the highest, a lottery is performed with reference to the table data A1, and one pair of display texts is set based on the lottery result. .. If it is determined that the character to be picked up by the player to whom the article is provided is not the character with the highest winning rate, a lottery is performed with reference to the table data A2, and one pair of display texts is displayed based on the lottery result. To set. In the present embodiment, regardless of which of the table data A1 and A2 is used to set the lottery target, the selection rate of the display text that is the lottery target is the same, but the lottery target is used. There may be a bias in the selection rate of the displayed text.

For "race commentary", the text is created by selecting each of the display texts that make up the three parts "beginning", "intermediate", and "tightening" by lottery, and the display text of each part in the qualifying round is selected. As the table data for this purpose, as shown in FIG. 10, table data B1 to table data B4 exist, and the table data is selected according to the winning rate of the character to be picked up by the player to whom the article is provided and the type of the qualifying round. The lottery target of the display text is set.

Specifically, if the character to be picked up by the player to whom the article is provided is the character with the highest winning rate among the three characters registered to run, the table data B1 is selected, and the character to be run is further targeted. Table data B3 is selected when the race is round 1 of the qualifying round, and table data B4 is selected when the race is round 2 of the qualifying round, and the lottery target of the display text is set from the two types of table data.

On the other hand, if the character to be picked up by the player to whom the article is provided is not the character with the highest winning rate among the three characters registered for race, table data B2 is selected, and the race to be raced is qualifying. Table data B3 is selected in the case of round 1 of the round, and table data B4 is selected in the case of round 2 of the qualifying round, and the lottery target of the display text is set from the two types of table data.

Then, when the lottery target of the display text is set, the display text lottery is performed for each part of "beginning", "intermediate", and "tightening" of "race briefing", and each selected based on the lottery result. Combining the display texts of the parts creates a "race brief" text about the article for the qualifying round.

For the "player of interest", the text is created by selecting each of the display texts that make up the three parts "beginning", "intermediate", and "tightening" by lottery, and the display text of each part in the qualifying round is selected. As shown in FIG. 11, table data C1 to table data C14 exist as table data for this purpose, and the table data is selected and displayed according to the total number of runners of the player to whom the article is provided and the winning rate of the last 5 races. The text lottery target is set. If the total number of races is less than 5, the result of dividing the number of wins by the total number of races is treated as the winning percentage of the last 5 races.

Then, when it is determined that the total number of runners of the player to whom the article is provided is the "first run", the table data C1 is selected, and the lottery target of the display text is set by the table data C1. When the total number of runners of the player is "first run", the table data C1 is always selected because there is no run result of the special race for that player.

In addition, if it is determined that the total number of runners of the player to whom the article is provided is "1st to 4th race", one of table data C2 to table data C8 is selected according to the winning percentage of the last 5 races. And the lottery target is set by the selected table data. If the winning percentage is 0% (not won), the table data C2 is selected, and if the winning percentage is 25% (1 win in 4 races), the table data C3 is selected and the winning percentage is 33% (1 win in 3 races). In that case, table data C4 is selected, and if the winning percentage is 50% (1 win in 2 races or 2 wins in 4 races), table data C5 is selected, and if the winning percentage is 66% (2 wins in 3 races), , Table data C6 is selected, table data C7 is selected when the winning percentage is 75% (4 races and 3 wins), and table data C8 is selected when the winning percentage is 100% (all wins).

If it is determined that the total number of runners of the player to whom the article is provided is "5 or more races", one of table data C9 to table data C14 is selected according to the winning percentage of the last 5 races. The lottery target is set by the selected table data. If the winning percentage is 0% (5 races, 0 wins), the table data C9 is selected, and if the winning percentage is 20% (5 races, 1 win), the table data C10 is selected, and the winning percentage is 40% (5 races, 2 wins). ), Table data C11 is selected, table data C12 is selected when the winning percentage is 60% (5 races, 3 wins), and table data is selected when the winning percentage is 80% (5 races, 4 wins). When C13 is selected and the winning percentage is 100% (5 races and 5 wins), the table data C14 is selected. In this embodiment, after one player has raced five times in round 1 of the qualifying round, the total number of races of that player is determined to be "five races or more".

Then, when the lottery target of the display text is set, the display text is drawn for each part of "beginning", "intermediate", and "close" of the "attention player", and based on the lottery result, it is for the qualifying round. A "player of interest" text about the article is created.

Regarding the two sides (characters of interest) shown in FIG. 12, "personal comment" (display texts 401 to 403) and "reporter brief comment" (display texts 404 to 406) for each character to be picked up by each player belonging to the battle group. ) Set the display text.

For the "personal comment", the character type is specified by referring to the character ID of the character to be picked up by each player, and the lottery target of the display text is set by referring to the table data corresponding to the character type.

In the present embodiment, there are 30 types of characters, and a unique character ID is assigned to each of them in advance. Then, as table data for setting the lottery target of the display text of the "personal comment" in the qualifying round, as shown in FIG. 13, table data D1 to table data having a one-to-one correspondence with 30 types of character IDs. D30 exists, and table data corresponding to the character ID of the character to be picked up is selected. In the present embodiment, the table data for setting the display text of the "personal comment" is common to the qualifying round and the final round. However, regarding the "personal comment", the table data for setting the display text for the qualifying round and the table data for setting the display text for the final round may be prepared separately.

In the present embodiment, the table data unique to the character ID is associated, but in addition to the table data unique to the character ID, common table data may exist for some or all of the character IDs. Further, the lottery target of the "personal comment" may be set from the common table data regardless of the character ID. Also, for some character IDs, the lottery target for "personal comment" is set from the common table data, and for the remaining character IDs, the lottery target for "personal comment" is set from the character-specific table data. May be good.

For "reporter's comment", the text is created by selecting each of the display texts that make up the three parts "beginning", "intermediate", and "tightening" by lottery, and the display text of each part in the qualifying round is selected. As table data for this purpose, as shown in FIG. 14, table data E1 to table data E14 exist, and table data is generated for each character according to the total number of runners of the character to be picked up by each player and the winning rate of the last 5 races. It is selected and the lottery target of the display text is set. If the total number of races is less than 5, the result of dividing the number of wins by the total number of races is treated as the winning percentage of the last 5 races.

Then, when it is determined that the total number of runners of the character to be picked up is the "first run", the table data E1 is selected, and the lottery target of the display text is set by the table data E1. When the total number of races of the character to be picked up is "first race", the table data E1 is always selected because there is no race result of the special race for that character.

If it is determined that the total number of races of the character to be picked up is "1st to 4th race", one of table data E2 to table data E8 is selected according to the winning percentage of the last 5 races. The lottery target is set according to the selected table data. If the winning percentage is 0% (not won), the table data E2 is selected, and if the winning percentage is 25% (1 win in 4 races), the table data E3 is selected and the winning percentage is 33% (1 win in 3 races). In that case, table data E4 is selected, and if the winning percentage is 50% (1 win in 2 races or 2 wins in 4 races), table data E5 is selected, and if the winning percentage is 66% (2 wins in 3 races), , Table data E6 is selected, table data E7 is selected when the winning percentage is 75% (4 races and 3 wins), and table data E8 is selected when the winning percentage is 100% (all wins).

If it is determined that the total number of races of the character to be picked up is "5 or more races", one of table data E9 to table data E14 is selected and selected according to the winning percentage of the last 5 races. The lottery target is set by the table data. If the winning percentage is 0% (5 races, 0 wins), the table data E9 is selected, and if the winning percentage is 20% (5 races, 1 win), the table data E10 is selected, and the winning percentage is 40% (5 races, 2 wins). ), Table data E11 is selected, table data E12 is selected when the winning percentage is 60% (5 races, 3 wins), and table data is selected when the winning percentage is 80% (5 races, 4 wins). When E13 is selected and the winning percentage is 100% (5 wins in 5 races), table data E14 is selected. In the present embodiment, in the qualifying round 1, the qualifying round 2, and the final round, the character cannot be changed during the same round, but the characters registered to run in different rounds can be changed, so that the total number of runs is the character. Is accumulated and counted every time one race is performed.

Further, in the present embodiment, with respect to some table data (for example, table data E1 etc.), specific conditions (for example, parameter 800 or more) are set in at least one part of "beginning", "intermediate", and "tightening". There may be a set display text, and for display text for which specific conditions are set, it is controlled to be included in the lottery target only when the character to be picked up meets the specific conditions. ..

Then, when the lottery target of the display text is set, the display text is drawn for each part of "starting", "intermediate", and "closing" of the "reporter's comment", and based on the lottery result, for the qualifying round. A "reporter's commentary" text about the article is created.

Regarding the three sides (character battle record) shown in FIG. 15, the most recent five race results (race race, finish order) related to the special race of nine characters (three bodies x 3) registered by each player belonging to the battle group. , Number of runner characters (including NPC), runner number, popularity, time) is associated with the runner number. In the present embodiment, the editing information on the third surface (character battle record) includes the player ID, character ID, start number, and start battle record for the nine characters, and is common to each player belonging to the battle group. .. Regarding the third side (character battle record), common processing is performed in the qualifying round and the final round.

Next, a running simulation related to the qualifying round of the special race will be described. In this embodiment, course 1 is set as a course common to all races of round 1 of the qualifying round, and course 2 is set as a course common to all races of round 2 of the qualifying round. In the driving simulation, information on the course associated with the race to be run, the status (speed, stamina, power, guts, wisdom, possession skill) of the 12 characters (including 3 NPCs) to run, etc. Based on this, race development, finish order, time, etc. are calculated, and the race result is recorded in the competition record. The race development referred to here includes the movement history of each character from the start point to the goal point of the course, the occurrence history of each character's event (skill activation, accident occurrence), and the like. Further, based on the race result, the information on the player's battle record in the race registration record and the information on the battle record of the character who participated in the race are updated.

Then, when the editing of the article regarding the advance information of the race and the running simulation are completed on the server 20 side, the battle completion response including those results is transmitted to the player terminal 40 of each player belonging to the battle group.

On the player terminal 40 that has received the battle completion response, the progress of the game is in the state immediately before the race, and the display screen changes from the base screen to the screen immediately before the race (step S107). On the screen immediately before the race shown in FIG. 16, characters running in the race are displayed in animation, and a watching button 601 for watching the race, an article button 602 for viewing advance information of the race, and the like are provided.

In the present embodiment, a cut-in image introducing a character to be picked up by each player is displayed in the process of transitioning from the base screen to the screen immediately before the race on the display screen of the player terminal 40. In this cut-in image, as shown in FIG. 17, images of each of the three characters registered by each player are arranged in the upper display area 701, the middle display area 702, and the lower display area 703, and the background color is higher. Pink, blue, and yellow are predetermined in order from the beginning, and in the player terminal 40, the character to be picked up is arranged in the middle display area 702 based on the information included in the battle completion response (for example, the team ID). Then, the characters to be picked up by the opponent player are displayed so as to be arranged in the lower display area 703 and the upper display area 701 in order from the youngest team ID. In the present embodiment, the relationship between each character and the background color is set when the cut-in image is generated, and the first page (heading) of the article shown in FIG. 8 and the second page (attention character) shown in FIG. 12 are ordered from the top. The background color is set to blue, yellow, and pink, and the process of displaying the article content of the character to be picked up is performed so as to correspond to the background color.

When the tap input to the article button 602 is performed in the situation where the screen immediately before the race is displayed on the player terminal 40, one side (headline) of the article regarding the advance information of the race based on the editing information included in the battle completion response, The second side (attention character) and the third side (character battle record) can be viewed (step S108). While browsing the article, tap input to the tabs (1st tab 305, 2nd tab 306, 3rd tab 307) corresponding to each of the 1st side (headline), 2nd side (character of interest), and 3rd side (character battle record). You can switch the content of the article to be viewed by. Also, when a tap input is made to the return button 308 on the article browsing screen, the screen immediately before the race is displayed. When browsing the 3rd page (character battle record) of the article, the scroll bar 501 is provided because it is not possible to display the battle record of 9 characters on one screen, and it moves up and down while dragging the slider 502. It is possible to scroll the display by inputting the input. The display screen on the third side (character battle record) can also be scrolled by flicking.

Further, when the tap input to the watching button 601 is performed in the situation where the screen immediately before the race is displayed on the player terminal 40, the pattern of the race by 12 characters is shown based on the information of the running simulation included in the battle completion response. The race image is displayed (step S109). After that, the screen transitions to the result display screen for displaying the race result, and the player is notified of the reward for the race result (step S110).

In the qualifying round, the processing in the same round is repeated until the races in the five races are completed in each of the rounds 1 and 2 (N in step S111, to step S103). That is, when the races in 5 races are completed in Round 1 of the qualifying round, it is possible to race in 5 races in Round 2 of the qualifying round. When five races have been completed in Round 1 of the qualifying round (Y in step S111), the round end process of allocating the players to Class A or Class B according to the number of wins in Round 1 is performed (Step S112). ).

When the races for 5 races are completed in Round 2 of the qualifying round (Y in step S111), the qualifying round is completed and it is determined in the round end processing whether or not the conditions for advancing to the final round are satisfied. If the round end process is performed (step S112) and the conditions for advancing to the final round are satisfied, it is possible to run in the final round. Specifically, if you belonged to Class A in Round 2 of the qualifying round, or if you belonged to Class B in Round 2 of the qualifying round and the number of wins in Round 2 is 3 or more, the final It is decided to advance to the round.

In addition, in the round end processing after completing 5 races in Round 2 of the qualifying round, not only is it judged whether or not to advance to the final round, but also regarding the player who has decided to advance to the final round. A process of allocating players to class A or class B is also performed according to the class to which they belong and the number of wins in round 2.

FIG. 18 is a diagram showing the flow in the final round regarding the special race.

In the final round, the basic race flow is the same as in the qualifying round, but in the final round, only one race is held, and the period for accepting race registration, accepting matching, and watching the race is limited. Will be done. In the following, detailed explanations will be omitted for the parts that are common to the qualifying rounds, and the main differences will be mainly explained.

First, in the final round, the completion of the race registration of the three characters is executed in the registration period (step S201 to step S202), and the matching request is made from the player terminal 40 until the registration period ends and the matching period starts. Cannot (N in step S203).

When the matching period starts, the matching request from the player terminal 40 can be accepted (Y in step S203, step S204), and the matching process of matching three players in the matching period to create a match group (step). S205), the process of editing the article of the race prior information (step S206), and the process of performing the race running simulation (step S207) are executed and recorded in the battle record. In the matching period, the running simulation is completed, but the battle completion response including the race result information and the like is not transmitted to the player terminal 40 until the race period starts (N in step S208).

Then, in the present embodiment, there is a case where the article regarding the advance information of the race of the final round is edited in a manner different from that of the qualifying round.

First of all, in the final round, the method of picking up one from the three characters registered for the race by the player to whom the article is provided is different from the qualifying round, and the team member ID given to each of the three characters is referred to. Pickup is done. Specifically, among the three characters, the character with the youngest team member ID (the character whose team member ID is "1") is picked up. As for the pick-up of the opponent's character, the pick-up is performed by the same method as in the qualifying round.

As for the "title" and "subtitle" on the first page (heading) of the article in the final round, as shown in FIG. 9, a table A3 in which a plurality of types of a pair of display texts are prepared exists in the editing material database 52. However, regardless of the winning rate of the character to be picked up by the player to whom the article is provided, the lottery target of the display text is set using the table data A3 for any player. That is, in the final round, the display texts of "title" and "subtitle" are set from the common table data, but since the lottery of the display text is performed for each player to which the article is provided, the "headline" on page 1 The notation of "title" and "subtitle" may differ from player to player. Even in the final round, the table data for determining the winning percentage of the character to be picked up by the player to whom the article is provided and setting the lottery target of the display text may be selected from a plurality of types of table data.

As for the "race commentary" on page 1 (heading), as shown in FIG. 10, as table data for selecting the display text of each part of "beginning", "intermediate", and "tightening" in the final round. , Table data B5 exists in the editing material database 52, and the lottery target of the display text is set using the table data B5 for any player regardless of the winning rate of the character to be picked up by the player to whom the article is provided. .. That is, in the final round, the display text of "race commentary" is set from the common table data, but since the lottery of the display text is performed for each player to whom the article is provided, the "race commentary" on one side (headline). Notation may differ from player to player. Even in the final round, the table data for determining the winning percentage of the character to be picked up by the player to whom the article is provided and setting the lottery target of the display text may be selected from a plurality of types of table data.

As for the "attention player" on the first page (heading), as shown in FIG. 11, as table data for selecting the display text of each part of "beginning", "intermediate", and "closing" in the final round. , Table data C15 and table data C16 exist in the editing material database 52, and a table according to the winning rate with reference to the total winning rate (total winning number divided by the total number of runners) of the player to whom the article is provided. The lottery target of the display text is set using the data. Specifically, it is determined whether the total win rate of the player to whom the article is provided is less than 50% or 50% or more, and if the total win rate is less than 50%, table data C15 is selected and total. If the winning percentage is 50% or more, the table data C16 is selected.

Regarding the second side (character of interest), the processing for "personal comment" is the same as that for the qualifying round, but the method for setting the display text is different for "reporter's comment". Specifically, as the table data for selecting the display text of each part of "beginning", "intermediate", and "closing" regarding "reporter's comment" in the final round, as shown in FIG. 14, table data E15. -Table data E19 exists in the editing material database 52, and the lottery target of the display text is set using the table data according to the total number of runners and the total winning percentage of the characters to be picked up by each player. Specifically, it is determined whether the total number of starts of the character to be picked up is "first run" or "one or more races", and when the total number of runs is "first run", the table data E15 is selected. When the total number of races is "one or more races", one of the table data E16 to the table data E19 is selected according to the total winning rate. Table data E16 is selected when the total win rate is 0%, table data E17 is selected when the total win rate is 1% to 49%, and table data E17 is selected when the total win rate is 50% to 99%. Table data E18 is selected, and if the total winning percentage is 100%, table data E19 is selected.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the matching period of the final round ends and the race period starts (Y in step S208), in response to the race result acquisition request from the player terminal 40, the editing information of the article regarding the advance information of the race is obtained. The battle completion response including the result of the running simulation is transmitted to the player terminal 40. In the present embodiment, when an input for selecting a game mode of a special race is made to the player terminal 40 during the race period of the final round, the screen transitions to the base screen. If a tap input is made to the start button 204 while the base screen is displayed during the race period of the final round, the race result acquisition request is transmitted from the player terminal 40 to the server 20. Then, the server 20 that has received the race result acquisition request from the player terminal 40 accepts the race result acquisition request and transmits the battle completion response to the player terminal 40 on condition that the race is in progress. If the server 20 cannot normally accept the race result acquisition request due to server maintenance or the like, the server 20 sends an error response to the player terminal 40.

Then, the processing on the player terminal 40 side after receiving the battle completion response from the server 20 is the same as in the qualifying round, the state shifts to the state immediately before the race, and the screen immediately before the race is displayed on the player terminal 40 (step S209). .. When the tap input to the article button 602 is performed on the screen immediately before the race, the article regarding the advance information of the race can be viewed (step S210), and when the tap input to the watching button 601 is performed on the screen immediately before the race, the pattern of the race is displayed. The race image shown is displayed (step S211). After that, the screen transitions to the result display screen for displaying the race result, and the player is notified of the reward for the race result (step S212).

In the information processing system 10 described above, the article regarding the advance information of the race is edited based on at least one of the information of each player belonging to the battle group created by matching and the information of the character registered in the race by each player. , It is done for each player to whom the article is provided, and for the first page (heading) and the second page (attention character) of the article, the information associated with the player to which the article is provided is preferentially handled and edited. ing. In this way, the information processing system 10 provides each player with advance information that focuses on the items related to the player who browses the article, while sharing the information that is the source of editing the article among the players belonging to the battle group. As a result, each player's excitement for the race can be encouraged.

Further, in the information processing system 10, when editing the first page (heading) and the second page (attention character) of the article, one player is picked up from each of the three characters registered to run by each player belonging to the battle group. Then, edit the first side (heading) and the second side (attention character) of the article in relation to the picked up character, and pick up so that the same type of character does not exist among the players belonging to the battle group. There is. That is, even if another player belonging to the battle group has registered a character of the same type as the character registered for the race, the article is edited with priority given to the character of the player to whom the article is provided. It can attract the player's interest in the content of the article.
