In this embodiment, the server stores multiple game media. Game media are electronic data used in various games or services provided by the game system, and are, for example, game media related to avatars representing players. Game media related to avatars include item data such as clothes or accessories worn by avatars, avatar appearance data that constitutes avatar hair or each part of avatar's face (eyes, nose, mouth, etc.), avatar background background data and the like that constitute the

The game media may be cards, characters, points, virtual currency, tickets, parameters, or the like. Game media may be level information, status information, ability information such as physical strength and attack power, parameters such as skills and abilities, and game media may be spells, jobs, and the like. Game media is any electronic data that can be obtained, possessed, used, managed, exchanged, combined, enhanced, sold, discarded, and/or gifted, etc., by a player within a game. . Also, the mode of use of the game media is not limited to what is specified in this specification.

The server stores attributes in association with each of the plurality of game contents. Attributes are data indicating the appearance or performance of game media. When the game medium is a game medium related to an avatar, the attributes are, for example, color, genre (neat type, goblin type, etc.) and the like. The attribute may be data indicating properties of fire, thunder, or the like, or may be any data as long as it is associated with the game medium according to the game.

The server classifies each of the plurality of game contents into a plurality of groups and stores them. For example, the server associates and stores category-related information with each of a plurality of game media. Thereby, each of the plurality of game contents is stored so as to belong to one of the groups corresponding to each category. If the game media is game media related to avatars, the categories are, for example, clothes, accessories, hair, faces, backgrounds, and the like.

Note that the server may classify and store each of the plurality of game media into a plurality of groups based on attributes associated with each game media. For example, the server stores game contents associated with the same attribute as belonging to one group. In this case, the number of groups corresponding to the number of attributes is generated.

An example of a selection game provided by a game system having a server storing a plurality of game contents will be described below with reference to FIG.

The server presents game media belonging to a first group among the plurality of groups to the player in a selectable manner. In the example shown in (1) of FIG. 1, game contents 1A to 1H belonging to the first group are presented to the player in a selectable manner.

When a desired game content is designated by the player from among the presented game media, a selection instruction including information regarding the designated game content is input. When the player inputs a selection instruction, the server selects the first game content from the game contents belonging to the first group according to the selection instruction. In the example shown in (2) of FIG. 1, the game medium 1B is selected as the first game medium from among the game mediums 1A to 1H belonging to the first group according to the player's selection instruction.

The server then identifies attributes associated with the selected first game content. In the example shown in (3) of FIG. 1, the "attribute X" associated with the selected first game content 1B is specified.

Next, the server selects a second game medium from game mediums belonging to the second group among the plurality of groups based on the identified attribute. In the example shown in (4) of FIG. 1, the server stores game contents 2A to 2I belonging to the second group. The game media 2A-2C are associated with "attribute X", the game media 2D-2F are associated with "attribute Y", and the game media 2G-2I are associated with "attribute Z". are mapped.

As shown in (5) of FIG. 1, the server selects the game media associated with the "attribute X" identified in (3) of FIG. Extract media 2A-2C. Next, the server selects the game medium 2C as the second game medium from among the extracted game mediums 2A-2C.

The server stores a game content group including at least the selected first game content and the selected second game content in association with the player. In the example shown in (6) of FIG. 1, a game content group including the first game content 1B and the second game content 1C is stored in association with the player who has input the selection instruction.

As described above with reference to FIG. 1, in the game system of this embodiment, the group of game contents associated with the player includes game contents associated with the same attribute. For example, if the attribute is data indicating the appearance of game media, the server can associate a group of game media with a sense of unity in color and design of the media with the player. Further, for example, if the attribute is data indicating the genre of game media, the server can associate a game media group including game media of a unified genre with the player. As described above, the game system of the present embodiment can increase the player's willingness to continue playing the game in which a plurality of game contents are associated with the player, and increase the number of participants in the game. Further, in the game system of the present embodiment, when a plurality of second game contents are associated with attributes, a single selection instruction simultaneously associates a plurality of second game contents with the player. As a result, compared to a game system in which a selection game is executed for each of a plurality of second game contents, the number of times game execution processing is executed is reduced, and the amount of data for displaying a user interface screen is also reduced. Therefore, the game system of this embodiment can reduce the processing load for proceeding with the selection game. In addition, the game system of this embodiment provides a user interface that does not require the player to operate multiple times and that can be easily operated by any player. becomes possible.

(Game progress processing)
FIG. 11 shows the game progress processing by the progress processing unit 332, the selection unit 333, the identification unit 334, the association unit 335, and the creation unit 336 when a selection instruction is input on the game start screen 1010 and the game start screen 1010. It is a figure which shows an example of an operation flow. The game progression process shown in FIG. 11 is executed in step S103 of FIG.

First, the progress processing unit 332 acquires a selection instruction received by the server transmission/reception unit 331 (step S301).

Next, the selection unit 333 identifies an attribute based on the acquired selection instruction (step S302). For example, when the acquired selection instruction includes information related to the attribute, the selection unit 333 identifies the attribute based on the information related to the attribute. If the acquired selection instruction does not include an attribute, the selection unit 333 randomly selects one attribute from a plurality of attributes and identifies the selected attribute.

Next, the selection unit 333 identifies one of the groups other than the groups belonging to the already selected game media (step S303). Next, game media included in the specified group are extracted from the game media table T1, and one game media is selected from the extracted game media based on the specified attributes (step S304).

Next, the selection unit 333 refers to the game content table T1 and determines whether or not there is a group other than the group to which the selected game content belongs (step S305).

If the selection unit 333 determines that there is a group other than the group to which the selected game content belongs (step S305-Yes), the process returns to step S303. Note that the selection unit 333 may specify a new attribute instead of the attribute specified in step S302 when returning the process to step S303. In this case, in step S304 to be executed next, one game content is selected based on the newly specified attribute. Note that in the new attribute specifying process, the selection unit 333 may specify a new attribute according to the selection result executed immediately before. For example, the selection unit 333 newly specifies one attribute in a predetermined order or at random from the attributes associated with the game content selected immediately before. As a result, each game content included in the game content group has at least one common attribute with other game media, so that a game content group with a sense of unity can be associated with the player. Further, for example, the selection unit 333 may newly specify one attribute in a predetermined order or at random from attributes other than the attribute associated with the game content selected immediately before. As a result, the unity of the game media included in the game content group may be weakened, but on the other hand, it is possible to associate the game content group with unexpectedness with the player.

If the selection unit 333 determines that there is no group other than the group to which the selected game content belongs (step S305-No), the selection unit 333 instructs the association unit 335 to execute association processing for the selected game content. do.

When the selection unit 333 instructs the association unit 335 to execute the association process, the association unit 335 stores all the game media (game media group) selected in steps S202 and S205 as possessed game media in the player table T3 (step S306).

Next, the creation unit 336 creates display data for displaying a result screen 410 including at least an image representing each game content included in the game content group stored in step S207 (S307), and performs a series of steps. exit.

In this way, the game system 1 can associate a game content group including a plurality of game content with the player simply by selecting the game start object 1001 . In addition, the game system 1 allows the player to select a desired attribute and then simply issue a selection instruction to associate a game content group including a plurality of game media associated with the attribute selected by the player with the player. can be done. As a result, a game content group with a sense of unity is associated with the player, and the player's desire to continue playing the selected game can be enhanced, and the number of participants in the game can be increased. In addition, in the game system of the present embodiment, multiple game contents are simultaneously associated with the player by a single selection instruction. As a result, compared to a game system in which a selection game is executed for each of a plurality of game contents, the number of times game execution processing is executed is reduced, and the amount of data for displaying a user interface screen is also reduced. Therefore, the game system of this embodiment can reduce the processing load for proceeding with the selection game. In addition, the game system of this embodiment provides a user interface that does not require the player to operate multiple times and that can be easily operated by any player. becomes possible.

(Modification 2)
Further, after the game content group selected by the selection unit 333 is associated with the player, the association unit 335 of the server 3 executes exchange processing for exchanging the game media included in the game content group according to the instruction of the player. good too.

In this case, for example, the game start screens 400, 1000, 1010, etc. include a game media group display instruction object (not shown). The game content group display instruction object is a button object for displaying a game content group display screen including an image showing game media included in the game content group associated with the player. The game media group display instruction object may be an icon image, text, or the like. When the input position on the game start screens 400, 1000, and 1010 input according to the operation of the operation unit 23 by the player is within the display area of the game media group display instruction object, the screen display instruction is input to the mobile terminal 2. be done. In this way, when the player performs an operation to select the game media group display instruction object, a screen display instruction is input to the portable terminal 2 . When the player inputs a screen display instruction, a game content group display screen is displayed on the display unit 24 . Note that the input of the screen display instruction by the player may be controlled so as to be executable only during a predetermined input-enabled period. The input-enabled period is, for example, both or one of the event period of the selected game and a predetermined period (for example, two days) after the end of the event period.

When a screen display instruction is input by the player, the terminal transmission/reception section 251 of the mobile terminal 2 transmits the screen display instruction including the player ID of the player to the server 3 via the terminal communication section 21 . When the server transmission/reception unit 331 of the server 3 receives the screen display instruction from the mobile terminal 2 via the server communication unit 31, the association unit 335 associates the screen display instruction with the player ID included in the screen display instruction from the player table T3. Extract the possessed game media.

Note that when the owned game media include each game media ID and the date and time associated with the player, the association unit 335 associates the game content with the player within a predetermined period from the date and time when the screen display instruction is input. Alternatively, only owned game media may be extracted. As a result, the exchange process can be executed only for a predetermined period from when the game content group is stored in association with the player.

Next, the creation unit 336 refers to the game content table T1, extracts images associated with each game content ID of the owned game media extracted by the association unit 335, and displays a game content group including the extracted images. Create display data for displaying the screen. Then, the server transmission/reception section 331 transmits the created display data to the mobile terminal 2 via the server communication section 31 .

Next, the display processing unit 252 of the mobile terminal 2 acquires the display data received by the terminal transmission/reception unit 251 from the terminal transmission/reception unit 251, and displays the game content group display screen on the display unit 24 based on the acquired display data. do.

On the game content group display screen, an image representing each game content included in the game content group stored in association with the player is displayed in a selectable manner. Among the images representing the game media displayed on the game media group display screen, the game media corresponding to the image designated by the player's operation of the operation unit 23 are identified as replacement game media. Then, the terminal transmission/reception section 251 of the portable terminal 2 transmits an exchange request including identification information (game medium ID, etc.) for identifying the specified replacement game medium to the server 3 via the terminal communication section 21 .

When the server transmission/reception unit 331 of the server 3 receives an exchange request from the portable terminal 2 via the server communication unit 31, the association unit 335 extracts the identification information of the exchange game content included in the exchange request. Next, the association unit 335 identifies the same game content ID as the extracted identification information from the game content table T1, and extracts categories and attributes associated with the identified game content ID. Then, the associating unit 335 reselects one game medium ID according to a predetermined selection method from other game medium IDs that are associated with the extracted category and attribute and that are different from the identification information of the replacement game medium. It is selected as the game medium ID of the game medium.

Then, the associating unit 335 replaces the game medium ID of the replaced game medium among the owned game media associated with the player with the game medium ID of the reselected game medium in the player table T3, and replaces the game medium ID with the game medium ID of the reselected game medium in the player table T3 after replacement. is stored in the server storage unit 32 . In addition, the server transmitting/receiving unit 331 sends display data for displaying a screen including an image showing both or one of the exchanged game media and/or the reselected game media, and information showing the content of the exchange. It may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 2 . As a result, the player of the mobile terminal 2 can confirm the content of the exchange.

Also, the association unit 335 may exchange the exchange game media of the first player among the plurality of players for the exchange game media of the second player among the plurality of players. For example, when the server transmitting/receiving unit 331 of the server 3 receives an exchange request from each of the plurality of mobile terminals 2 via the server communication unit 31, the association unit 335 collects the identification information of the exchange game content included in each exchange request. to extract Then, the association unit 335 exchanges the identification information of two replacement game media that satisfy a predetermined condition among the extracted identification information of each replacement game content, and stores the identification information of the replaced replacement game media in the player table T3. Remember. The two exchange game contents to be exchanged are the exchange game contents of the first player and the exchange game contents of the second player. Further, the predetermined condition is, for example, the condition that both the date and time of receiving the exchange request from the first player and the date and time of receiving the exchange request from the second player are within a predetermined period (for example, within two days). , a condition that the first player and the second player have a predetermined relationship, and the like. This allows the player to exchange game media associated with the player (eg, the first player) with game media included in the game media group of another player (eg, the second player). Therefore, it is possible to exchange the game contents that the player does not desire among the game contents obtained by executing the selected game, thereby increasing the desire of the player to participate in the selected game.

(Modification 3)
In addition, the associating unit 335 may give a reward to the player when a specific game content is included in the game content group stored in association with the player. In this case, the server storage unit 32 stores the game medium ID of the specific game medium. For example, the association unit 335 compares the game medium ID of the game medium included in the game medium group stored in association with the player and the game medium ID of the specific game medium stored in the server storage unit 32 . Then, when a game medium associated with the same game medium ID as the game medium ID of the specific game medium stored in the server storage unit 32 is included in the game medium group stored in association with the player, the association unit 335 , reward the player.

The reward is, for example, associating with the player a group of game media selected by a selection game that is automatically executed. Note that the automatically executed selection game targets game media associated with the same category as the category associated with the specific game content. Further, the automatically executed selection game may select game media associated with the same attribute as the attribute associated with a specific game content. Further, the automatically executed selection game selects game media associated with the same category as the category associated with the specific game content and with the same attribute as the attribute associated with the specific game content. It may be a target.

Also, the reward may be the association of the avatar with the player, the right to play the selected game, or the like.

(Modification 4)
Further, when the number of groups to which the already selected game contents belong reaches a predetermined number in the game progress process, the selection unit 333 may instruct the association unit 335 to execute the game contents association process. . For example, the selection unit 333 identifies categories associated with the already selected game media from the game content table T1, and counts the number of identified categories. Then, when the counted number reaches the predetermined number of categories, the selection unit 333 instructs the association unit 335 to execute association processing.

In this case, the category associated with the game content to be selected in the selection game may be determined based on the category associated with the game content owned by the player. For example, the selection unit 333 refers to the game content table T1 and the player table T3, counts the number of game media owned by the player associated with each category for each category, and ranks each category in ascending order of the number. to decide.

Next, the selection unit 333 extracts all or some of the game content IDs associated with the first category in the determined order. Then, the selecting unit 333 extracts game content IDs associated with the attribute specified by the specifying unit 334 from the extracted game content IDs as selection targets, and selects predetermined selections from the extracted selection targets. Select one game medium ID according to the method.

Next, the selection unit 333 extracts all or some of the game content IDs associated with the second category in the determined order. Then, the selecting unit 333 extracts game content IDs associated with the attribute specified by the specifying unit 334 from the extracted game content IDs as selection targets, and selects predetermined selections from the extracted selection targets. Select one game medium ID according to the method.

The selection unit 333 executes the above-described selection process up to the order of the predetermined number of categories. For example, if the predetermined number of categories is 5, the selection unit 333 further extracts all or part of the game medium IDs associated with the third, fourth, and fifth categories in the determined order. Then, the selection process described above is executed for each of them.

As a result, in the selection game, it is possible to preferentially associate the game content of the group that the player does not possess with the player.

Note that the process of determining the category associated with the game media to be selected based on the categories associated with the game media owned by the player is only performed when the number of times the player has participated in the selected game is equal to or less than a predetermined number of times. It may be executable. Further, the process of determining the category associated with the game content to be selected based on the category associated with the game content owned by the player can be executed only for a predetermined period after the player participates in the selected game for the first time. may be As a result, it is possible to preferentially associate a player who has just started the selection game (that is, a player who owns less game media than a skilled player) with a group of game media that the player lacks. Become. Thus, the game system of this embodiment can motivate such a novice player to continuously participate in the selection game.
