<First embodiment>
<Configuration>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the system configuration according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The information processing system according to this embodiment includes a server device 1 , a player terminal 2 and a network 3 .

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the server device 1 of FIG. In the information processing system of the present embodiment, a server device 1 (for example, a game server) provides various game-related services to player terminals 3 where players play games via a network 2 (for example, the Internet).

<Structure of server device>
The server device 1 is an information processing device (computer) used when a system administrator or the like operates and manages various services. It may also be logically embodied by computing technology. The server device 1 includes a control unit 11 that controls the entire server terminal 1, a storage unit 12 that stores various data and programs, and a server-side communication unit that transmits and receives data to and from the player terminal 3 via the network 2. 13.

<Control section>
The control unit 11 exchanges data between units and controls the entire server device 1, and includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a GPU.
(Graphics Processing Unit) is realized by executing a program stored in a predetermined memory. Control unit 11 of the present embodiment includes game execution unit 111 , operation information reception unit 112 , processing result generation unit 113 , save processing unit 114 , change processing unit 115 , return unit 116 and cancellation processing unit 117 .

The game execution unit 111 has a function of executing processing for progressing the game according to the game program. The game by the game system in the present embodiment may be any kind of game, such as a battle game, a puzzle game, an action game, a baseball game, a soccer game, other sports games, a quiz game, a pinball game, and a card game. , rhythm game, RPG, and the like. In addition, the game includes lottery events included in these games (for example, using consumable items and paid or free in-game currency to acquire weapons, armor, and characters that can be used in the game through lottery) Events (so-called gacha) are also included.

The operation information receiving section 112 receives operation information transmitted from the player terminal 2 . The received operation information is used as instruction information for the game execution unit 111 to process the game program.

The processing result generation unit 113 has a function of executing processing for generating a processing result of the game program executed by the game execution unit 111 . The generated processing result is transmitted to the player terminal 2 by the processing result generation unit 113 and output by the output unit 24, which will be described later.

The storage processing unit 113 has a function of executing a process of storing first state information based on the first state of the target medium in accordance with the payment (consumption) of the consideration. The first state information saved by the saving processing unit 113 may be saved each time a consideration is paid (that is, a plurality of pieces of first state information can be saved), or a single piece of first state information may be saved. may be storable. Alternatively, the storage process may be unlocked (function released) during a predetermined period of time in accordance with the payment of the consideration, and the first state information may be stored any number of times during the predetermined period of time.

The first state is the state of the target medium during execution of the storage processing by the storage processing unit 113 and within a predetermined period after execution of the storage processing. The first state information particularly includes information about the target medium based on the first state, but may also include other player information (player information will be described later). In addition to changing medium information, other player information (e.g. owned game medium information (e.g. owned character information (which may also include parameter information such as level and experience value), owned item information), play stage information, etc. ) are also changed in the same way (particularly, it is more preferable to configure the configuration so that it is returned to the state at the time when the saving process was performed).

Consideration includes, for example, paid or free in-game currency, game media that can be acquired in-game,
It can be, but is not limited to, in-game stamina. Acquirable in-game means, for example, purchases at in-game shops, acquisition (dropping, stealing, etc.) through enemies during stage (quest) capture, stage (quest) clear rewards, special stage capture, It may be an event reward according to mission achievement, a lottery event (so-called gacha) performed by consuming in-game currency, or the like. The game media may be, for example, consumable items (for example, special items such as tickets for executing saving processing), weapons, armor, characters, and the like. If the rarity level is set for the game media, the object of compensation is limited to game media with a relatively high rarity level, or the game media required as compensation according to the higher rarity level may be set so as to reduce the number of In addition, consideration is not limited to selection operations and consumption operations (payment operations) within this game application (such as the above-mentioned in-game currency), but selection operations and operations based on other linked application operations outside this game application It may be due to consumption operation (payment operation), for example, consideration (in this case, cash, points, virtual currency, etc.) is paid according to payment operation in a payment application that allows credit payment etc. You may recognize that

The target medium is something that is consumed when performing a predetermined process, and may be, for example, paid or free in-game currency, game media that can be acquired in-game, in-game stamina, or the like. The type of target medium may be the same as the type of consideration (for example, part of the paid in-game currency is consumed as consideration, and the remaining paid in-game currency is used as the target medium for storage), It may be different (for example, a game medium (at least one of consumable items and characters) that is consumed for strengthening (training), etc., may be a storage target medium, or a rare game medium that consumes a predetermined paid in-game currency Pay high-quality game media as compensation, and use paid or free in-game currency consumed in lottery events (so-called gacha) as storage media.

The storage processing unit 113 causes the state storage unit 124 described later to store the first state information in association with the player information (the first state information is stored in the storage unit 22 of the player terminal 2 executing the game application). You may

The change processing unit 114 changes the current state information at the time of requesting the change processing of the state of the target medium to the second state information based on the first state information when a predetermined change condition is satisfied while the save processing is being executed. It has a function to execute change processing to At this time, player information (
owned game content information, etc.), it is more preferable to change (restore) the player information along with the change processing by the change processing unit 114 . Further, after the change processing, the stored first state information may be deleted by the change processing unit 114.
For example, it may be deleted with one change process, or it may be set to be deleted when a predetermined number of times of 2 or more is reached, and the number of change processes until deletion is a consideration. It may be set according to the amount. In the first state, the state of the target medium is more advantageous than the current state information in which the target medium is consumed. It is possible to respond to a certain extent to the need to restore the media that has been deleted. Note that the change processing by the change processing unit 114 is performed by the storage processing unit 113 for the plurality of first
When the state information is saved, when executing the change process, the second state information based on the first state information selected by the player from the plurality of first state information, or the plurality of first state information may be changed to the second state information selected by the player from a plurality of pieces of second state information based on each of the above.

The change processing unit 114 changes the input unit 23 to be described later after the player satisfies a predetermined change condition.
When a change operation for changing the current state information to the second state information is input, change processing is executed in response to a change request associated with the change operation. In addition, the change processing unit 114 causes the game content information storage unit 122 to store the second state information in association with the player information (the second state information is stored in the storage unit 22 of the player terminal 2 executing the game application). ).

Predetermined change conditions include time conditions and action conditions. The time condition is that the change processing request is transmitted within a predetermined time after execution of the save processing. The time condition may vary depending on the player information. For example, the information regarding the player level in the player information is higher than a predetermined value, or the play stage information indicates that the player is ahead of a predetermined stage. , Depending on the information indicating the number of times a predetermined stage has been played is higher than a predetermined value,
A longer predetermined time period related to the time condition may be set, and furthermore, a plurality of steps may be set as the reference for variation so that the reference may vary according to the steps. Alternatively, it may vary according to the amount of consideration, for example, depending on whether the amount of consideration is higher than a predetermined value, a similar condition may be set, and furthermore, the standard of variation (reference value of consideration) may be set in a plurality of stages, and the conditions may vary according to the stages. Action conditions may include clearing a predetermined stage, consuming a predetermined item, consuming a predetermined amount of in-game currency, and the like. Action conditions (e.g., a predetermined number of stages and stage levels that must be cleared, items that must be consumed, the amount of in-game currency consumed, etc.) are similar to the above time conditions, as are player information (player level, etc.) and compensation. may vary depending on the amount of

The second state information may be identical to the first state information (so-called recovery) or
It may be in a more disadvantageous state than the state information. For example, if the first status information includes the number of target media held (hereinafter also referred to as the first number of possessions), the second status information also includes: It may be that the number of possessions is smaller than the first number of possessions by a predetermined value (hereinafter also referred to as the second number of possessions). Here, the second holding number is, for example, the first
A predetermined fixed value is decreased from the holding number, or the first holding number is reduced by 1
It is possible to reduce it by multiplying it by a factor that is less than (for example, multiplying by 0.8 to make it 80%). Also, the amount of decrease in the second owned number from the first owned number may vary according to the player information about the player. Depending on whether the information indicates that the predetermined stage has progressed or the information indicating the number of times the predetermined stage has been played is higher than a predetermined value, the amount of decrease may be set smaller or larger. In addition, the standard of variation may be set in a plurality of stages so that the standard varies according to the stages. Alternatively, the amount of decrease in the second number of holdings from the first number of holdings may vary according to the amount of compensation. may be
Furthermore, a plurality of steps may be set for the standard of variation (reference value of consideration), and the amount of reduction may be varied according to the steps.

The following is a case where the player saves the first state information and then changes the current state information to the second state information.

The player pays for saving the first state information including cost (stamina) information before progressing the stage (quest). If the player spends the cost (stamina) and advances the stage (quest) but does not obtain rare items including rare drops, the change process is performed within a predetermined time after the save process is executed. to run. In such a case, if the player executes the change process within a predetermined period of time after executing the save process, the item obtained by progressing the stage (quest) disappears (for example, the state included in the first state information change) is the cost (stamina) included in the second state information
is set to the number of information.

The player pays for the storage before participating in the lottery event (so-called gacha),
Store first state information including information such as the amount of in-game currency. Then, if the player does not obtain the desired item or the like as a result of the lottery event (so-called gacha), the player executes the change process within a predetermined time after executing the saving process. In such a case, if the player executes the change process within a predetermined time after executing the save process, the item obtained in the lottery event (so-called gacha) disappears (for example, the item is changed to the state included in the first state information). )but,
In-game currency and the like included in the second state are owned.

The return processing unit 116 has a function of executing a process of returning at least part of the consideration for saving to the player when a predetermined return condition is satisfied while the saving process has been executed. The return processing by the return processing unit 116 may be automatically executed when the return conditions are satisfied,
Alternatively, when the return condition is satisfied, the return process can be executed, and in that state, the return process may be executed in response to the player's operation requesting the return process. The return processing by the return unit 116 may further return the current state of the target medium to the first state, and more preferably return the player information (especially owned game medium information) to the first state. In this case, after the return processing, the stored first state information may be deleted by the return processing unit 114 .

The return conditions include elapse of a predetermined time (especially, the predetermined time set in the above time conditions, that is, passing the change deadline), and clearing a predetermined stage (especially clearing a predetermined number of times). , consuming a given item or a given amount of in-game currency. The elapse of the predetermined period of time may be, for example, the elapse of a certain amount of time, such as 30 minutes. Clearing a predetermined stage may be clearing a stage of a certain level, such as stage 10, as an example. Consuming a given item, for example,
Certain items may be consumed, such as consuming an item that restores HP. Consuming a predetermined amount of in-game currency may consume a certain amount of in-game currency, such as consuming 1000G of in-game currency or consuming 100 paid stones. The return condition may vary depending on the player information (level etc.) about the player. If the information indicating the number of times a given stage has been played is higher than a given value, the specified time, the number of stages that must be cleared, the stage level, the items that must be consumed, or the in-game currency may be set so as to be advantageous in terms of the number of consumptions, etc., and furthermore, a plurality of levels of variation criteria may be set, and may be varied according to the levels. As an example of the return condition, the player information level may be above a certain level, such as the player information level being level 10 or higher.

Cancellation processing unit 117 has a function of executing processing for canceling storage of the first state information.

The cancellation processing unit 117 cancels saving of the first state information when the player inputs operation information for canceling saving of the first state information to the input unit 23, which will be described later, within a predetermined period after execution of the saving process. Execute the undo action. When the cancellation processing unit 117 executes processing for canceling storage of the first state information, the first state information stored in the state storage unit 124, which will be described later, is deleted. When the player executes an operation to cancel the saving of the first state information in the input unit 23 (to be described later) within a predetermined period after the execution of the saving process, the player can cancel the game at the time when the canceling process is executed by the cancellation processing unit 117. It holds the target medium stored in the medium information storage unit 123 . When executing the cancellation process, part of the consideration may be returned, and in particular, an amount of consideration less than the amount of consideration returned during the above-described refund process may be returned.

A player may obtain a desired game content by spending a cost (stamina) to advance a stage (quest) or by spending in-game currency to execute a lottery event. In addition, the player may obtain the desired state of the game media by executing enhancement (training) processing to increase the parameters of the game media such as weapons, armor, and characters by consuming other game media. . When the player obtains the desired target medium by progressing a stage (quest), executing a lottery event, or strengthening a weapon or character, the saving of the first state information can be canceled. . the player is the first

<Modification>
A modification of this embodiment will be described.

FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram of the server device 1 of the modification of the first embodiment of the present invention.
The modified example differs from the first embodiment in that it has a compensation processing unit 118 instead of the storage processing unit 114 and a consideration state information storage unit 125 instead of the state storage unit 124 . As for the modification, only parts different from the first embodiment will be described. Note that the storage processing unit 1
14 and the compensation processing unit 118 may be provided.

The compensation processing unit 118 of the modified example has a function of executing a compensation process of storing information about the consumed consideration according to the consumption of the consideration. The change processing unit 115 of the modification changes the current state information of the target medium to a predetermined third
It has a function to change to status information.

In a modified example, the third state may be configured such that, for example, the number of currently owned target media is increased by a predetermined value without depending on the first state as in the first embodiment. The predetermined value to be increased may vary according to player information (level, etc.). It may be set such that the increased predetermined value becomes advantageous (that is, increases) in response to the fact that the information indicating the number of times the predetermined stage has been played, which indicates that the stage is progressing, is higher than a predetermined value. may be set in a plurality of stages and may vary according to the stages.

In a modification, it is particularly preferable that the type of consideration and the type of target medium are the same, and the increased predetermined value may be a number obtained by multiplying the consideration by the predetermined value. The predetermined value may be a numerical value equal to or greater than 0 and less than 1.0.

In addition, the predetermined value to be increased may vary according to the amount of compensation. The reference (reference value of consideration) may be set in a plurality of steps, and the amount of increase may vary according to the steps.

The above-described embodiments are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit and interpret the present invention. It goes without saying that the present invention can be modified and improved without departing from its spirit, and that equivalents thereof are included in the present invention. Also, the features shown in each embodiment can be applied to other embodiments as long as they are not mutually contradictory.
