(1-3. Functional Configuration of Server 10)
As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 11 of the server 10 has a granting unit 11a and a game object control unit 11b.

The granting unit 11a is configured to be able to grant a game element to the user U in response to the user U acquiring a game object J2 having a predetermined relationship with the game object J1 owned by the user U.

Here, the "game object" is an object that can be used by the user U to play the game G, and can be used to perform various actions required for the progress of the game G, activation of game effects, and the like. It is an object that is executed based on an instruction from the user U or preset conditions. A game object is, for example, a character, a card, or the like.

Here, the "predetermined relationship" refers to, for example, a relationship in which the game object J1 and the game object J2 are the same (same type). In such a case, it can be said that owned game objects are duplicated. The predetermined relationships are that the game object J1 and the game object J2 are characters derived from the same character, that the game object J1 and the game object J2 have the same or similar attributes, that the game object J1 and the game object J2 It may be having a special relationship (for example, family, friends, teacher-student, etc., when the game object is a character) in the story or setting of G.

Here, the “game element” is an element reflected in the status of the user U or game object, an element that can be used by the user U, an element that is automatically used under predetermined conditions, a It is an element or the like that produces a specific effect or triggers the occurrence of an event by possessing it. Game elements are, for example, predetermined game parameters, game media, game benefits, game rewards, and the like. Game parameters are various parameters set for each user U or game object. A game parameter is, for example, the amount of points possessed by a game object. If the game element is a game parameter, the given game element increases or decreases the game parameter, and if the given game element is an element that increases the game parameter, the game parameter is increased by a predetermined amount. .

The game object control unit 11b is configured to be capable of controlling a game effect according to the conditions satisfied by the target game object J3, which is the game object owned by the user U, using game elements. be.

Here, the "game effect" is an effect that the game object activates based on an instruction from the user U or a preset condition during game play, and may be part of the status of the game object. A game effect is, for example, a skill, an ability, a special skill, a magic, etc. possessed by each game object, and exerts a preset effect in the game G. In addition, game effects may have only two states, "acquired" or "not acquired", and effects such as levels (Lv.), etc., in addition to "acquired" or "unacquired". There may be a game effect or the like in which the degree of change is changed.

By adopting such a configuration, the user U can acquire the game element obtained when the user U obtains the game object J2 having a predetermined relationship with the game object J1 already owned by the game object J3 that satisfies the acquisition/strengthening conditions. It can be used to acquire and strengthen the game effect of In addition, by controlling the game effect that can be specified as an acquisition/enhancement target according to the conditions that the game object J3 to be acquired/enhanced satisfies, the user U can easily select a game effect that can be acquired/enhanced. can do.

Further, the game object control unit 11b performs control so that the first game effect can be specified as a target to be acquired or strengthened regardless of whether the target game object J3 satisfies the first condition. satisfies the first condition, the second game effect may be controlled so as to be designated as a target for acquisition or enhancement. By adopting such a configuration, even if the condition (first condition) for acquiring and enhancing a predetermined game effect is not satisfied, it becomes possible to acquire and enhance other game effects. User U can flexibly use game elements.

Further, the imparting unit 11a acquires the second game object J2 having a predetermined relationship with the first game object J1 owned by the user U1, thereby imparting the game element to the user U in association with the first game object J1, The game object control unit 11b is configured to control, as the first game object J1, an instruction target by the user U for obtaining or enhancing a game effect using a game element associated with the first game object J1. good too. With such a configuration, it is possible to limit the target of use of the game element obtained when the game object J2 having a predetermined relationship with the already owned game object J1 is obtained.

The functional configuration described above may be realized by software (including so-called applications) appropriately installed in the server 10, or may be realized by hardware. When implemented by software, various functions can be implemented by the control unit 11 executing a program that constitutes the software.

When implemented by executing a program, the program may be stored in the storage unit 12 built into the server 10, or may be stored in a computer-readable non-temporary recording medium. Alternatively, a program stored in an external storage device may be read out and realized by so-called cloud computing. Alternatively, when implemented by hardware, it can be implemented by various circuits such as ASIC, SOC, FPGA, or DRP. Further, the functional configuration described above may be partially processed by the user terminal 20 or the like by software or hardware.

(1-4. Assignment of Game Objects and Acquisition/Enhancement of Game Effects)
Hereinafter, the flow of giving game objects and acquiring/strengthening game effects will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. In the following description, one aspect of the present invention will be described using a character as a game object, a first game parameter (amount of points) as a game element, and a skill as a game effect.

The granting unit 11a grants the character C2 to the user U as a reward such as a lottery such as gacha or a quest in the game G. At this time, when the character C2 has a predetermined relationship with at least part of the characters owned by the user U, the granting unit 11a grants the user U points related to the first game parameter.

Here, the given points may be given and stored in association with the user U. FIG. By associating with the user U, the user U can acquire/strengthen skills or use them for other purposes in a character other than the character C1.

Also, the given points may be given to the user U and stored in association with a specific character (for example, the character C1). Thus, the use of points relating to the first game parameter associated with character C1 may be limited to character C1. Also, even if the design, name, etc. of the character C1 are changed due to strengthening, evolution, etc., the points of the first game parameter can be controlled to be handed over. In the following description, it is assumed that points are given to the user U in association with the character C1.

In FIG. 5, when the user U owns the character C1 and the characters C1 and C2 are in a predetermined relationship, the granting unit 11a grants, as a game element, points for increasing the first game parameter of the character C1. As a result of such granting, the points of the first game parameter are increased for the status of the character C1.

Note that the character C2 determined to have a predetermined relationship with the given character C1 may continue to be stored as a character owned by the user U, or may be deleted from the characters owned by the user U.

The game object control unit 11b controls so that the skill according to the conditions satisfied by the character C1 owned by the user U can be acquired or strengthened using the points of the first game parameter.

In FIG. 6, character C1 has acquired skill A whose level is 5, has acquired skill B, and has not acquired skill C and skill D. In FIG. When "already acquired skill B" is set as a condition (first condition) for acquiring skill C, the game object control unit 11b acquires skill C using the points of the first game parameter. Acquisition, and control to be able to specify as a target for enhancement.

On the other hand, if the character C1 has not acquired the skill B in FIG. 6, the condition is not satisfied. is controlled as a target that cannot be specified.

Further, in FIG. 6, the game object control unit 11b designates the acquired skill A as a target to be strengthened using the points of the first game parameter, regardless of the condition that "skill B has been acquired." control possible. Further, if the condition for acquiring skill D is not set to "already acquired skill B", the game object control unit 11b acquires skill D using the points of the first game parameter, is controllable to be specified as a target for strengthening.

(1-5. Flow of Processing by Game Providing System 1)
An example of the flow of processing by the game providing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, an application step is performed, which includes steps S110, S120 and S130. In step S110, the granting unit 11a of the server 10 grants the user U the game object J2. At this time, information regarding the provided game object J2 may be transmitted to the user terminal 20 .

In step S120, the providing unit 11a determines whether or not there is a predetermined relationship between the game object J2 and the game object J1 owned by the user U. When the predetermined relationship exists, the granting unit 11a grants the game element to the user U in response to the user U acquiring the game object J2 having the predetermined relationship with the game object J1 owned by the user U. . At this time, information about the given game element may be transmitted to the user terminal 20 .

Next, the game object control steps including steps S140, S210 and S150 are executed. In step S140, the game object control section 11b presents the user U with game effects that can be obtained or enhanced. At this time, the game object control unit 11b can transmit to the user terminal 20 information about the obtainable or enhanceable game effect to be presented. The user terminal 20 may display only game effects that can be acquired or strengthened on the display unit 24, or may control such that even if they are displayed, they cannot be selected.

Note that step S140 can be executed at a predetermined timing or when a presentation request from the user U is received from the user terminal 20 . The predetermined timing is, for example, when a specific screen is displayed, before starting a quest, or when a quest is cleared.

Next, in step S<b>210 , the user terminal 20 receives an instruction to obtain or enhance the game effect from the user U, and transmits the instruction to the server 10 . At step S150, acquisition or enhancement of the game object is performed based on the received instructions.

(1-6. Modification 1)
The game object control section 11b may be configured to be able to present information to the user U for satisfying the first condition when the target game object for obtaining or enhancing the game effect does not satisfy the first condition. . With such a configuration, the user U can obtain the information of the first condition necessary for acquiring or enhancing the game effect, and can maintain his or her interest in the game G.

The game object control unit 11b can, for example, transmit information for satisfying the first condition to the user terminal 20 and present it to the user U via the user terminal 20. FIG.

(1-7. Modification 2)
The game object control unit 11b selects a second game effect that can be specified when the target game object for acquiring or enhancing the game effect satisfies the first condition, and the first game effect acquired by the target game object. It may be configured to be changeable based on. With such a configuration, the variation in obtaining or strengthening the game effect is increased, and the desire of the user U to capture and explore the game G can be enhanced.

In the example of FIG. 8, "skill B has been acquired" is set as the condition (first condition) for acquiring skill C, and the first condition that character C1 "has skill B has been acquired" is set. meets At this time, the game object control section 11b can designate the skill C' as an object to be acquired or strengthened on condition that the character C1 has acquired the skill D. Instead of being unable to specify skill C, skill C' may be specified, or both skill C and skill C' may be specified. Note that the game object control unit 11b acquires the skill C' on the condition that the character C1 has acquired the skill D and that the skill D is in a predetermined strengthened state (e.g., has a certain level or higher). Alternatively, it can be designated as a target for enhancement.

In addition, the game object control unit 11b is configured to be able to present to the user U information regarding the change of the second game effect based on the first game effect acquired by the game object to be acquired or strengthened. It may or may not be done. With such a configuration, the user U can obtain information about the derivation of the acquisition or enhancement of the game effect, and can maintain his or her interest in the game G.

It should be noted that the game object control section 11b changes the second game effect that can be specified according to the acquisition status of the first game effect only if the first game effect is acquired before the first condition is satisfied. may be required. Also, the game object control unit 11b can change the second game effect that can be specified according to the acquisition status of the first game effect even if the first game effect is acquired after the first condition is satisfied. may be

(1-8. Modification 3)
The game object control unit 11b designates a game effect to be acquired or enhanced by the user U according to the amount of game elements possessed by the user U and the conditions satisfied by the game object to be acquired or enhanced. It may be configured to control possible. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a situation in which acquisition or strengthening is not possible despite being designated as a target, and smooth progress of the game becomes possible.

In addition, the game object control unit 11b controls the game effect according to the amount of game elements associated with the game object owned by the user U and the conditions satisfied by the target game object for acquiring or enhancing the game effect. It may be configured to control so that U can be designated as a target for acquisition or enhancement. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a situation in which acquisition or strengthening is not possible despite being designated as a target, and smooth progress of the game becomes possible.

In FIG. 6, user U has 21 points as the first game parameter associated with character C1. In addition, although "skill B has been acquired" is set as a condition (first condition) for acquiring skill C, character C1 satisfies the first condition "skill B has been acquired". there is At this time, if 10 points of the first game parameter are required to acquire the skill C, the game object control unit 11b controls so that the user U can specify the skill C to acquire the character C1. On the other hand, if the first game parameter of 30 points is required to acquire the skill C, the required points are insufficient. can be controlled so that it cannot be specified as

(1-9. Modification 4)
The game element to be provided is a game parameter. A game element is given to the user U in association with the game object J1, the first game parameter of the first game object J1 is increased or decreased, and the second game parameter of the first game object J1 is increased or decreased. The game object control section 11b may be configured to control, as the first game object, an instruction target by the user U for obtaining or enhancing a game effect using the first game parameter. With such a configuration, when the user U acquires a game object that has a predetermined relationship with a game object that the user U already owns, the user U can obtain benefits with respect to two game parameters by adding a game element.

The example of FIG. 9 is similar to the example of FIG. 5, but as game elements, points are given for increasing the first game parameter of the character C1, and points for increasing the second game parameter of the character C1 are also given. be done. As a result of such granting, the character C1's status is increased in points for both the first game parameter and the second game parameter.

(1-10. Modification 5)
Further, when the second game parameter of the first game object J1 does not reach the upper limit, the provision unit 11a increases the first amount of the second game parameter with respect to the first game object, The second game parameter may be configured to increase the first game object by a second amount greater than the first amount if the second game parameter has reached the upper limit. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the user U from being unable to receive and not to make use of the given game element.

In the example of FIG. 10A, the first game parameter of character C1 is "20/99pt" (upper limit is 99pt), and the second game parameter of character C1 is "98/99pt" (upper limit is 99pt). At this time, if 1 pt is given to the first game parameter and 1 pt to the second game parameter as game elements, since the second game parameter has not reached the upper limit, each is increased by 1 pt and the first game parameter is given. "21/99pt", and the second game parameter is "98/99pt".

On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 10B, the first game parameter of character C1 is "20/99pt" (upper limit is 99pt), and the second game parameter of character C1 is "99/99pt" (upper limit is 99pt). At this time, if 1 pt is given to the first game parameter and 1 pt to the second game parameter as game elements, the second game parameter has reached the upper limit, so the second game parameter does not increase and the second game parameter does not increase. 1 game parameter increases by 2pt. The first game parameter is "22/99pt" and the second game parameter is "99/99pt".

(1-11. Modification 6)
Even if the providing unit 11a is configured to increase the first game parameter of a third game object different from the first game object when the first game parameter of the first game object has reached the upper limit. good. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the user U from being unable to receive and not to make use of the given game element.

In the example of FIG. 11, the first game parameter of character C1 is "99/99pt" (the upper limit is 99pt), and the first parameter has reached the upper limit. In such a case, the imparting unit 11a can impart the game element to the character C3 instead of imparting the game element to the character C1, thereby increasing the first game parameter of the character C3.

The imparting unit 11a can determine the third game object to which the game element is to be imparted instead of the first game object, according to an instruction from the user U or a predetermined condition.
