<Overview of information processing equipment>
Hereinafter, the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. The information processing device 10 is a device that generates a deck used in a battle game. In the first embodiment, the battle game means a game in which players compete for victory or defeat using a medium. The medium is information indicating a battle object used in a battle game. The battle object is, for example, a character used in a battle game, an effect played in a battle, or a combination of a character and an effect. The character is the subject of various actions in the battle game. The character is, for example, a monster, an animal, a youkai, a person, a plant, a robot, or an avatar, but is not limited to these, and may be a character that projects any concept. Different parameter values are set for each character (type) or individual. The effect affects the progress of the competitive game.

The genre of the battle game is not limited to a specific genre, and any genre of the game may be used as long as it is a game using a battle object. A battle game is, for example, a game in which characters attack and defend each other to compete for victory or defeat. Further, the battle game may compete for the score of the competition game played by using the battle object. Further, the battle game may be played by a player alone or by a plurality of players. In the first embodiment, the battle game may be a battle game played on an application implemented by the user terminal executing a computer program, or the player plays the game using a tangible object such as a paper card. It may be a competitive game.

The medium is information indicating a battle object, and includes, for example, information for identifying a battle object (medium ID). Further, the medium includes, for example, information indicating the attribute (type) of the battle object, information indicating the characteristics (appearance, etc.) of the battle object, and / or one or a plurality of parameter values related to the battle. The parameter values related to the battle are, for example, the physical strength value of the character, the attack power of the character, the defense power of the character, the increase value of the physical strength of the character, the increase value of the attack power of the character, or the increase value of the defense power.

When the battle game is a game played on a software application, the battle game is played using information indicating a battle object, that is, a medium. On the other hand, when the battle game is a game played using a tangible object such as a paper card, the battle game uses a tangible object (paper card, etc.) associated with a medium (information indicating a battle object). Is done.

<Operation>
Next, the deck generation process performed by the information processing apparatus 10 will be described with reference to the drawings. In this operation example, the information processing apparatus 10 repeatedly executes a process of selecting a medium to be included in the deck from a plurality of media (hereinafter referred to as “set G1”) to generate a deck. The set G1 is, for example, a set of media owned by the player. Further, the set G1 may include a medium not owned by the player. For example, the set G1 may be a set of media predetermined by the information processing apparatus 10.

<Operation example>
FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of the deck generation process performed by the information processing apparatus 10. Note that some steps may be executed in parallel or in a different order.

In this operation example, the operation when the information processing apparatus 10 is a game server will be described. In step S101, the acquisition unit 111 of the information processing apparatus 10 acquires designated information that designates one or more of the media included in the set G1. In the first embodiment, the information processing apparatus 10 acquires designated information from a user terminal (not shown) used by the player. In this case, a software application for playing a battle game is pre-installed on the user terminal. The control unit (not shown) of the user terminal accepts an operation by the player to specify one or more media from the media included in the set G1 by executing the software application. The control unit (not shown) of the user terminal transmits designated information for designating one or more of the media included in the set G1 to the information processing apparatus 10 according to the received user operation. The information processing apparatus 10 acquires the designated information by receiving the designated information from the user terminal.

In step S102, the initial processing unit 112 executes initial processing for including the medium designated by the designated information in the deck. That is, in step S102, the deck includes the medium designated by the designated information, and does not include any other medium.

As described above, in the first embodiment, one deck can contain a plurality of media of the same type. If the deck contains multiple media of the same type (hereinafter referred to as "homogeneous media"), the plurality of media of the same type are managed separately. As a management method, for example, the initial processing unit 112 assigns an extended ID (identification information) for identifying a plurality of similar media to the same type of media separately from the medium ID for identifying the medium, and uses the assigned extended ID. Manage the medium. That is, the medium is identified by the medium ID that identifies the medium, and when a plurality of homogenous media identified by the same medium ID are included in the set G1, the initial processing unit 112 extends to identify each of the plurality of homogenous media. An ID is assigned to each medium of the same type.

In step S103, when the set G1 contains media not included in the deck (hereinafter referred to as “unselected media”), the selection unit 113 is compatible with each of the media included in the deck with respect to each of the unselected media. One or more media are selected from the unselected media using the value, and the selection process of including the selected media in the deck is executed. The medium included in the set G1 is identified by the medium ID and the extended ID. That is, when a plurality of similar media are included in the set G1, the selection unit 113 treats the plurality of similar media as individual media by using the extended ID, and performs selection processing using the compatibility value of each medium. conduct.

The compatibility value is a value indicating compatibility between media. In the first embodiment, the compatibility value is a value according to the frequency in which the media are used in combination in the model deck group. Specifically, in the first embodiment, the selection unit 113 determines the frequency with which the first medium is included in the model deck group including the second medium as the compatibility value of the second medium with respect to the first medium. The first compatibility value indicating is used. The selection unit 113 sets the first compatibility value of the second medium with respect to the first medium, for example, with respect to the frequency with which the second medium is included in the model deck group, with respect to the first medium and the second medium. It may be obtained by calculating the ratio of the frequency in which the combination of is included in the model deck group.

The model deck group is a set of decks (hereinafter referred to as "model decks") that are referred to when constructing a deck to be presented to the player. The model deck group is, for example, a set of decks of players with good results in a match. The selection unit 113 refers to a part or all of the decks stored in the deck history database D121 as a model deck group. For example, the selection unit 113 extracts from the deck history database decks whose results in ranked battles satisfy predetermined conditions (for example, decks with the highest results in the last two weeks) as a model deck group.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating the compatibility value. FIG. 7 shows the first compatibility value of the medium described in the row with respect to the medium described in the column by the matrix Mx. The denominator of each component in the matrix Mx indicates the frequency with which the medium described in the row of each component is included in the model deck group. The molecule of each component indicates the frequency with which both the medium listed in the row and the medium listed in the column of each component are included in the model deck group.

Specifically, for example, the denominator of each component in the MA row is the number of model decks containing the medium MA, and the numerator of each component in the MA row is the model deck containing both the medium MA and the medium in each column. It is a number. That is, the value of the component in the MA row and MC column is calculated by dividing the number of model decks including both the medium MA and the medium MC by the number of model decks including the medium MA.

In the following description, for convenience of explanation, the first compatibility value of the medium Mi (second medium) with respect to the medium Mj (first medium) is referred to as P (Mj | Mi). Specifically, for example, in FIG. 7, the ratio of the frequency in which the combination of the medium MA and the medium MC is included in the model deck group to the frequency in which the medium MA is included in the model deck group is 2/3. be. That is, the compatibility value P (MC | MA) of the medium A with respect to the medium C is 2/3. The compatibility value is not limited to the probability value. As the compatibility value, each process can be performed using the compatibility value based on the probability, such as using the logarithm of the probability value.

In the first embodiment, the selection unit 113 calculates the compatibility value of each medium included in the set G1 in advance before step S101 and stores it in the storage unit 120. Further, in another embodiment, the compatibility value may be calculated by another device, and the information processing device 10 may acquire (receive, etc.) the calculated compatibility value from the other device.

Subsequently, the details of the selection of the medium by the selection unit 113 will be described. In the first embodiment, the selection unit 113 calculates an evaluation value for each unselected medium using the first compatibility value of each medium included in the deck for each unselected medium, and calculates an evaluation value for each unselected medium. The evaluation values are compared, and one or more media are selected from the unselected media. The evaluation value is a value calculated for each medium using the compatibility value, and is compared to determine which unselected medium is selected. The evaluation value is, for example, the sum of the compatibility values for each medium, the product of the compatibility values for each medium, the sum of the weighting of the compatibility values for each medium, or the product of the weighting of the compatibility values for each medium.

Specifically, for example, the evaluation value P (MX) of the medium MX in a state where the media MA, MB, and MC are included in the deck is calculated by the following formula (1) or (2). ..
P (MX) = P (MX | MA) + P (MX | MB) + P (MX | MC) ... (1)
P (MX) = P (MX | MA), P (MX | MB), P (MX | MC) ... (2)

8 and 9 are diagrams for explaining a specific example of the calculated evaluation value. In the examples of FIGS. 8 and 9, the sum of the first compatibility values of the other medium with respect to the medium is used as the evaluation value of one medium. In FIG. 8, when the medium MB is included in the deck, the evaluation values of the media MA, MB, MC, MD, and ME, that is, the evaluation values P (MA), P (MB), P (MC), and P, respectively. (MD) and P (ME) are "3/3", "0", "2/3", "1/3", and "0/3", respectively.

In FIG. 9, when the medium MA and the medium MB are included in the deck, the evaluation value P (MA) of the medium MA is calculated by P (MA | MA) + P (MA | MB) and is "3/3". Will be. Similarly, the evaluation value P (MB) of the medium MB is calculated by P (MB | MA) + P (MB | MB) and becomes "3/3". Similarly, the evaluation value P (MC) of the medium MC is calculated by P (MC | MA) + P (MC | MB) and becomes "4/3". The evaluation value P (MD) of the medium MD is calculated by P (MD | MA) + P (MD | MB) and becomes "2/3". The evaluation value P (ME) of the medium ME is calculated by P (ME | MA) + P (ME | MB) and becomes "0/3".

The selection unit 113 selects the unselected medium having the largest evaluation value P from the unselected media included in the set G1. When there are a plurality of unselected media having the largest evaluation value P, the selection unit 113 may select the plurality of unselected media, or select a part of the plurality of unselected media. You may. As a method of selecting some media, for example, the selection unit 113 may randomly select a predetermined number of unselected media from a plurality of unselected media having the highest evaluation value. , May be selected in ascending order of identification information.

The selection unit 113 may calculate the evaluation value for all the media included in the set G1 or may calculate the evaluation value for the unselected medium included in the set G1.

In the example of FIG. 8, in the state where the medium MB is included in the deck, the selection unit 113 has the largest evaluation value P among the unselected media MA, medium MC, medium MD, and medium ME. Select MA. Further, in the example of FIG. 9, in the state where the medium MA and the medium MB are included in the deck, the selection unit 113 has the highest evaluation value P among the unselected media, the medium MC, the medium MD, and the medium ME. Select a large medium MC.

Returning to the description of FIG. In step S104, the selection control unit 114 determines whether to end the selection process by determining whether the number of media included in the deck satisfies a predetermined condition. The predetermined conditions are the conditions that the generated deck should meet, and more specifically, the conditions that the number of media contained in the deck should meet. The predetermined conditions are, for example, conditions such as a predetermined threshold value or more and a predetermined ratio or more.

When the selection process is terminated (step S104; YES), the selection control unit 114 proceeds to the process of step S105. On the other hand, when the selection process is continued (step S104; NO), the selection control unit 114 returns to the process of step S103 and executes the selection process.

That is, the selection control unit 114 causes the selection unit 113 to repeatedly execute the selection process, and selects the medium to be included in the deck from the unselected media by using the compatibility value of the medium contained in the deck. Each time the selection process is executed by the selection unit 113, the number of media included in the deck increases.

In step S105, the selection control unit 114 outputs the generated deck. In the first embodiment, the selection control unit 114 outputs the deck by transmitting the generated deck to the user terminal. The user terminal receives the deck from the information processing apparatus 10, displays the received deck on the display, and presents the deck to the player. The player uses the presented deck as it is in the battle game, or changes a part of it.

In the generation of the deck, it is not only necessary to select only the media having a high parameter value, but it is preferable to consider the combination of the media to be included in the deck and the like. For example, a strategy can be considered in which a medium whose parameter value increases when used in combination is included in the deck, or a large number of media with specific attributes are included in the deck. However, as the number of media types increased, it was sometimes difficult for beginners to think about decks. On the other hand, in the first embodiment, by selecting a medium compatible with the designated medium and including it in the deck, it is possible to easily generate a deck including the medium compatible with the designated medium.

Further, in the first embodiment, when the set G1 includes a plurality of similar media (for example, when the user owns a plurality of media of the same type), the information processing apparatus 10 includes a deck including the plurality of similar media. It can be generated and presented to the user.

[Embodiment 2]
Other embodiments of the present invention will be described below. For convenience of explanation, the same reference numerals are given to the members having the same functions as the members described in the above-described embodiment, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

In the second embodiment, the content of the process of selecting the medium to be included in the deck (the process of step S103 in FIG. 6) is different from the above-described first embodiment. In the first embodiment described above, the selection unit 113 selects the medium using the first compatibility value of the second medium with respect to the first medium. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the selection unit 113 uses the second compatibility value of the second medium with respect to the first medium in addition to the first compatibility value of the second medium with respect to the first medium. Select the medium.

In the second embodiment, the selection unit 113 indicates the frequency with which the first medium is included in the model deck group including the second medium as the compatibility value of the second medium with respect to the first medium. In addition to the compatibility value of, the second compatibility value indicating the frequency with which the second medium is included in the model deck group containing the first medium is used. The selection unit 113 sets the second compatibility value of the second medium with respect to the first medium, for example, with respect to the frequency with which the first medium is included in the model deck group, with respect to the first medium and the second medium. It may be obtained by calculating the ratio of the frequency in which the combination of is included in the model deck group.

The second compatibility value of the medium Mi (second medium) with respect to the medium Mj (first medium) is expressed as P (Mi | Mj). Specifically, for example, in FIG. 7, the ratio of the frequency in which the combination of the medium MA and the medium MC is included in the model deck group to the frequency in which the medium MC is included in the model deck group is 2/2. be. That is, the second compatibility value P (MA | MC) of the medium A with respect to the medium C is 2/2.

Like the first compatibility value, the second compatibility value is a value relating to the degree to which media are used in combination in the model deck group, and can be said to be a numerical value indicating compatibility between media. It can be said that the larger the compatibility value, the higher the compatibility value.

Specifically, the selection unit 113 selects a medium using both the first compatibility value and the second compatibility value. For example, when the media MA, MB, and MC are included in the deck, the selection unit 113 uses the following equation (3) or equation (4) to evaluate the evaluation value P (for each of the unselected media MX). MX) is calculated, the calculated evaluation values P (MX) are compared, and one or more media are selected from the unselected media. In the following, P (MX | MA), P (MX | MB), P (MX | MC) indicate the first compatibility value, and P (MA | MX), P (MB | MX), P (MC | MX), indicates the second compatibility value.
P (MX) = P (MX | MA) + P (MX | MB) + P (MX | MC) +
P (MA | MX) + P (MB | MX) + P (MC | MX) ... (3)
P (MX) = P (MX | MA), P (MX | MB), P (MX | MC) +
P (MA | MX), P (MB | MX), P (MC | MX) ... (4)

Similar to the first embodiment, the selection unit 113 repeatedly selects a medium using the evaluation value and repeatedly executes the process of including the selected medium in the deck. That is, in the second embodiment, the information processing apparatus 10 uses the first compatibility value and the second compatibility value to select the medium to be included in the deck.

In the second embodiment, by selecting a medium using two different compatibility values, it becomes easier to select a medium having better compatibility than a general-purpose medium. This makes it possible to propose a more appropriate deck to the user.

[Embodiment 3]
Other embodiments of the present invention will be described below. For convenience of explanation, the same reference numerals are given to the members having the same functions as the members described in the above-described embodiment, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

In the third embodiment, the content of the process of selecting the medium to be included in the deck (the process of step S103 in FIG. 6) is different from the above-described second embodiment.

In the second embodiment described above, the selection unit 113 selects a medium by using the sum or product of the first compatibility value and the second compatibility value of the second medium with respect to the first medium. On the other hand, in the third embodiment, the selection unit 113 does not use the sum of the weights of the compatibility value of each medium contained in the deck and the weighting product of the second compatibility value for each of the unselected media. Select one or more media from the selected media.

For example, when the media MA, MB, and MC are included in the deck, the selection unit 113 uses the following equation (5) or equation (6) to evaluate the evaluation value P (MX) for each of the unselected media MX. ) Is calculated, the calculated evaluation values P (MX) are compared, and one or more media are selected from the unselected media. The coefficient α is a weighted value (for example, 0 <α <1). In the equation (5) or (6), when the coefficient α is smaller than 1, the degree of weighting of the second evaluation value is smaller than the degree of weighting of the compatibility value.
P (MX) = P (MX | MA) + P (MX | MB) + P (MX | MC) +
α (P (MA | MX) + P (MB | MX) + P (MC | MX)) ... (5)
P (MX) = P (MX | MA), P (MX | MB), P (MX | MC) +
α (P (MA | MX), P (MB | MX), P (MC | MX)) ... (6)

Similar to the first and second embodiments described above, the selection unit 113 repeatedly selects a medium using the evaluation value and repeatedly executes the process of including the selected medium in the deck. That is, in the third embodiment, the information processing apparatus 10 uses the sum or the product of the weighting of the compatibility value of each medium included in the deck and the weighting of the second compatibility value for each of the unselected media. Select the media to include in. This makes it possible to generate a variety of decks.

[Embodiment 4]
Other embodiments of the present invention will be described below. For convenience of explanation, the same reference numerals are given to the members having the same functions as the members described in the above-described embodiment, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

In the fourth embodiment, the content of the process of selecting the medium to be included in the deck (the process of step S103 in FIG. 6) is different from the above-described first embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the selection unit 113 uses the sum of the weights of the compatibility values of the media contained in the deck for each unselected medium or the product of the weights for each unselected medium to obtain the evaluation value. Is calculated, and the degree of weighting of the compatibility value of each medium included in the deck is different from the above-described first embodiment in that the degree of weighting is determined according to the order in which the medium is included in the deck.

For example, when the media MA, MB, and MC are included in the deck, the selection unit 113 uses any of the following equations (7) to (9) to evaluate the evaluation value P for each of the unselected media MX. (MX) is calculated, the calculated evaluation values P (MX) are compared, and one or more media are selected from the unselected media. The coefficient ω _i (1 ≦ i ≦ 6) is a value indicating the degree of weighting.
P (MX) = ω ₁・ P (MX | MA) + ω ₂・ P (MX | MB) + ω ₃・ P (MX | MC)… (7)
P (MX) = ω ₁ · P (MX | MA) + ω ₂ · P (MX | MB) + ω ₃ · P (MX | MC) + ω ₄ · (P (MA | MX) + ω ₅ · P (MB | MX) ) + Ω ₆・ P (MC ｜ MX))… (8)
P (MX) = (ω ₁ + P (MX | MA)) ・ (ω ₂ + P (MX | MB)) ・ (ω ₃ + P (MX | MC)) ・ (ω ₄ + P (MA | MX)) ・ ( ω ₅ + P (MB | MX)) ・ (ω ₆ + P (MC | MX))… (9)

In the fourth embodiment, the coefficients ω _i used in the equations (7) to (9) are determined according to the order in which the media are included in the deck. For example, the coefficient ω _i is set to a larger value as the order in which the media are included in the deck is earlier. In this case, the degree of weighting of the compatibility value of the media included in the deck increases as the order in which the media are included in the deck increases. Further, as another example, for example, the coefficient ω _i may be set to a different value depending on whether or not the order in which the media are included in the deck is within the threshold value. Further, as another example, for example, a value larger than the other coefficients ω _i may be set for the coefficient ω _i of the medium whose order is included in the deck after the threshold value.

Similar to the first and second embodiments described above, the selection unit 113 repeatedly selects a medium using the evaluation value and repeatedly executes the process of including the selected medium in the deck. That is, in the fourth embodiment, the medium to be included in the deck is selected by comparing the evaluation values calculated by using the sum of the compatibility values, the product, or the sum of the weights of the media included in the deck. This makes it possible to generate a deck containing a medium having a high degree of compatibility with the designated medium.

In particular, the earlier the media are added to the deck, the larger the weight is applied and the selection process is performed, so that the influence of the card specified by the user in the deck generation process can be increased.
