When the above items change to disadvantage the enemy player, for example, the enemy player's ability value decreases, the enemy player's attack accuracy decreases, or the enemy character itself has low ability. It may be changed to a character.

In this embodiment, the data relating to the conditions for awarding the privilege is set as a condition that the player 2 borrows in-game contents such as in-game currency in advance and consumes the consideration for the borrowed in-game contents, as will be described later. In the present embodiment, the data related to the content of the privilege is, for example, data related to the game content given to the player 2 as a privilege. The privilege may be determined according to one or a combination of information such as the type and amount of the in-game content borrowed in advance by the player 2 . In that case, for example, a plurality of ranges of borrowing types and amounts are set, and individual benefits corresponding to each range are associated and stored. Benefits are given according to the amount. Also, different benefits may be given according to the number of advance borrowings. For example, the number of pre-borrowings and the privilege corresponding to the number of pre-borrowings are stored in association with each other. may Also, the benefit at the time of consideration may be changed according to the amount and the number of times. Furthermore, the privilege at the time of consideration may be changed according to the period from the advance borrowing to the consideration. Also in that case, the period from the time of advance borrowing to the time of consideration is stored in advance in association with the benefits corresponding to the period. With such a configuration, for example, it is possible to encourage the payment in a short period of time by providing a privilege that is more advantageous as the payment is made in a shorter period of time (consideration consumption).

The game processing unit 41, the upper limit setting unit 42, the borrowing reception unit 43, the borrowing content giving unit 44, the borrowing privilege giving unit 45, the consideration consumption unit 46, the consideration consumption privilege giving unit 47, and the subrogation consumption unit 48 shown in FIG. 22 by executing a program stored in the processor 21 .

In this embodiment, the game processing unit 41 executes basic game processing such as game progress and character control. Execute.

In the present embodiment, the upper limit setting unit 42 sets an upper limit value (a value of an upper limit amount) when requesting acquisition of in-game content as borrowing by player 2 inputting borrowed content acquisition request information described below. For example, a process of setting the upper limit of the advance amount according to the currency unit of the in-game currency preset in the game (for example, "○ jewel", "stone", etc.) is executed. In this system, the in-game currency that can be borrowed in advance is free in-game currency, but it is not limited to this. Paid in-game currency can also be borrowed in advance, or only paid in-game currency can be borrowed in advance. Further, while only free in-game currency can be borrowed in advance, only the same amount of paid in-game currency can be used for consideration consumption (repayment). The upper limit of advance borrowing is the upper limit of the amount that can be borrowed in one advance processing, and the specified period such as the most recent month, week, etc., or the period during which various events are held in the game. The upper limit of the amount that can be borrowed in advance may also be set. The upper limit value may be the upper limit value of the number of advance borrowings in a predetermined period. . Any upper limit may be common to all players, or may be different for each player.

In the present embodiment, the upper limit setting unit 42 includes, for example, in-game billing status, stamina consumption, character level, number of in-game friends, total login time in a predetermined period, login frequency, etc. The parameters are set based on the player data such as various parameters including the game situation that fluctuates along with the execution of the game.

In the present embodiment, the borrowing reception unit 43 executes processing for accepting borrowing content acquisition request information regarding a request for borrowing in-game currency used in the game, input by the player 2 via the player terminal 30 ( Advance payment reception processing).

FIG. 5 is a block diagram for explaining the outline of the configuration of borrowed content acquisition request information. As shown in the figure, the borrowed content acquisition request information D2 is composed of borrowed amount data d2a and borrowed number of times data d2b in this embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the borrowing amount data d2a is data relating to the amount of borrowing in accordance with the unit of in-game content set in the game. This is data on the number of times the currency has been borrowed in advance. The borrowing count data d2b is the number of borrowings in a predetermined period or the number of borrowings in a predetermined game unit (quest, event, etc.).

In the present embodiment, if the amount of advance borrowing (the desired amount of advance borrowing) requested by the input of the borrowed content acquisition request information D2 exceeds the upper limit set in advance by the upper limit setting unit 42, the borrowing reception unit 43 Alternatively, if the total borrowed amount (total sum) in a predetermined period exceeds the upper limit preset by the upper limit setting unit 42, the process of accepting the borrowed content acquisition request information D2 is not executed. The period for calculating the total advance amount is not particularly limited, and may be the period from the time the game is first executed (game started) to the present, or the most recent hour, day, or week. , one month, one year, etc., a period from the start to the end of a predetermined in-game event (or until the present), or a predetermined period of time in the past that does not include the present (One week of the previous week, etc.) may be sufficient.

Specifically, for example, the process of prompting the player 2 to borrow an advance by means of pop-up display of an advance proposal according to the progress of the game is not executed, or the player 2 himself/herself sets the amount of advance borrowing as the advance amount data d2a. Even if the borrowed-advance content acquisition request information D2 is input by inputting as , it is assumed that the input of the borrowed-advance content acquisition request information D2 is not accepted.

In this embodiment, the borrowed content providing unit 44 shown in FIG. 3 executes processing of providing the in-game currency as borrowed content to the player 2 based on the borrowed content acquisition request information D2 received by the borrowed content receiving unit 43. (Advance borrowing content provision processing). The borrowed content provision unit 44 executes a process of storing information regarding the in-game content to be provided to the player in the borrowed content provision processing (borrowed content storage processing). The information to be stored may be the time when the borrowed content provision process was executed, the type and amount (amount) of the in-game content provided as the borrowed content, but is not limited to this. The amount of in-game currency given to the player 2 as borrowed content may be the amount received by the borrowed amount reception unit 43 as it is, or may be an amount smaller or larger than that amount. For example, if the amount received by the advance reception unit 43 is borrowed in advance, and the total amount of the advance in a predetermined period exceeds a preset upper limit, an amount that does not exceed the upper limit is given. good too. Alternatively, it may be a numerical value obtained by adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing a predetermined numerical value to the amount received by the advance reception unit 43 . That is, the currency giving unit 44 can calculate the in-game currency to be given to the player 2 as the borrowed content on the basis of the borrowed content acquisition request information D2 received by the borrowed content receiving unit 43, based on predetermined conditions. can.

In the present embodiment, the advance borrowing privilege granting unit 45 performs a process of imparting game media such as items usable in the game as advance borrowing privileges to the player 2 in accordance with the borrowing content granting processing of the borrowing content granting unit 44 . Execute (advance borrowing privilege granting process).

In the present embodiment, after the borrowed content is provided to the player 2 in the borrowed content provision processing, the consideration consumption unit 46 receives the in-game currency as the acquired currency by the player 2 as a privilege, or allows the player 2 to use the in-game currency. When in-game content (in-game currency in this example) is acquired by charging as earned currency, at least part of the acquired in-game currency is consumed as consideration for borrowed content in advance. (consideration consumption processing). As for the timing of the consideration consumption process, the consideration consumption process may be performed each time the player acquires the in-game currency, or the acquired (accumulated) player's in-game currency may be a preset amount ( For example, when reaching 10, 100, 500 jewels, or the amount of in-game content borrowed in advance at that time, the consideration consumption processing may be performed. In addition, the borrowed in-game contents may be paid back (consumption of consideration) little by little in a plurality of times, or may be entirely consumed at once.

In this embodiment, the consideration consumption processing by the consideration consumption unit 46 is executed by consuming (subtracting) the borrowed content from the acquired currency based on the information stored in the borrowed content storage processing. For example, when 500 jewels are borrowed as advance borrowing content, if player 2 acquires 700 jewels of acquired currency, 500 jewels are deducted from the 700 jewels of acquired currency, and 200 jewels of acquired currency is given to player 2. be done. In this way, the in-game currency may be deducted automatically when the in-game currency is acquired, or may be deducted based on the player's demand for payment. If it is based on a consideration consumption request, for example, the player terminal is presented with a message asking whether or not consideration consumption processing is necessary, such as "Would you like to use the acquired currency to repay the currency borrowed in advance?" , the player's request can be accepted depending on whether the player inputs a selection to the effect that the consideration consumption process is to be performed or a selection (input) to the effect that it is not. In addition, if you have acquired game media such as items (lottery tickets, training items, enhancement items, synthetic materials, etc.) as borrowed content, the same game media as borrowed in advance will be consumed as consideration in the consideration consumption process. , or may be different. The amount consumed as compensation may be the same or different. If the amount of borrowed game media differs from the amount of game media consumed as consideration, the amount (numerical value) and/or type of borrowed game media multiplied or added to the borrowed value by a predetermined number , the subtracted number, or the divided number may be deleted (consumed) as consideration. Like so-called "interest", the consideration may increase as the period from borrowing in advance until the consideration is consumed as repayment becomes longer.

In the present embodiment, the consideration consumption privilege granting unit 47 performs a process of providing the player 2 with a game medium such as an item that can be used in the game as a consideration consumption privilege in accordance with the consideration consumption processing of the consideration consumption unit 46. Execute (reward consumption privilege grant processing).

In the present embodiment, the subrogation consumption unit 48 distributes the in-game currency held by another player 2 who has a predetermined relationship such as being friends with one player 2 in the game. (subrogated consideration consumption processing).

In the present embodiment, the other player 2 for whom the subrogated consideration consumption process is executed is, for example, another player 2 who has been nominated in advance by one player 2 and accepted the subrogated consideration, or between one player 2 It is assumed that they are other players 2 who have agreed in advance to mutually consume subrogated consideration.

In the present embodiment, one player 2 can arbitrarily select the subrogation consideration consumption process by the substitution consumption part 48 and the consideration consumption process by the consideration consumption part 46 at an appropriate timing.

Based on the processing in the game processing unit 41, the upper limit setting unit 42, the borrowing reception unit 43, the borrowing content providing unit 44, the borrowing privilege granting unit 45, the consideration consumption unit 46, the consideration consumption privilege granting unit 47, and the subrogation consumption unit 48, , in this embodiment, the game is executed on the player terminal 30 .

In this embodiment, the player terminal 30 shown in FIG. 1 is implemented by a smart phone, which is a portable information terminal, but is implemented by, for example, a terminal dedicated to games, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, or a notebook computer. can be anything.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram for explaining the outline of the configuration of the player terminal 30. As shown in FIG. As illustrated, the player terminal 30 includes a control section 31 and a display 32 as main components.

In this embodiment, the control unit 31 controls each unit of the player terminal 30 such as the display 32 and a camera (not shown), and is composed of, for example, a processor, a memory, a storage, a transmission/reception unit, and the like.

In this embodiment, the control unit 31 stores a game application or a browser capable of browsing a website. executed.

In the present embodiment, the display 32 displays a screen interface of the game executed on the player terminal 30 and the like.

The display 32 is a so-called touch panel that accepts information input by touching the display surface, and is implemented by various technologies such as a resistive film system and a capacitance system.

In the present embodiment, borrowed content acquisition request information D2 and player operation information D3 are input via this display 32 .

In this embodiment, the player operation information D3 is information that is input regarding the operation and motion of the character used by the player 2 in the game.

The borrowed content acquisition request information D2 and the player operation information D3 can be used by the player 2 to perform any action on the display 32 (for example, an action of tapping or swiping the screen, an action of dragging and dropping an icon or the like displayed on the screen, etc.). is entered based on

Next, an outline of processing of the information processing system 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the outline of the processing of the information processing system 10 according to this embodiment. As shown, first, in step S1, the player 2 sets the game.

Following the setting of the game, in step S2, player 2 executes the game to progress the game. When player data such as various parameters fluctuate with the execution of the game, the upper limit of the advance amount of in-game currency is set based on the fluctuation. The upper limit of the amount of in-game currency borrowed in advance is set in advance at the start of the game, and varies as the game progresses. The upper limit value may be 0 (that is, when a preset condition is satisfied at the start of the game or during the progress of the game, advance borrowing of in-game currency may be disabled (restricted). ).

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, for example, gacha occurs as the game progresses. When executing the gacha, if the amount of in-game currency held by the player 2 is less than the amount required for executing the gacha, a pop-up window W1 is displayed on the screen interface IF1, an example of which is shown in FIG. , suggests borrowing the in-game currency needed to run the gacha. That is, the amount of in-game currency possessed by player 2 and the amount of in-game currency required to execute a predetermined game unit such as a lottery game (gacha) or purchase items, characters, etc. By comparison, when the amount of in-game currency held by player 2 is small, a process of displaying on the player terminal that the held in-game currency is insufficient or a proposal to borrow money can be executed.

In this embodiment, the window W1 displays texts such as "500 jewels are insufficient to play gacha" and "Would you like to borrow 500 jewels in advance?". The player 2 is urged to borrow money in advance by the processing of presenting the notification of currency shortage, the proposal to borrow money in advance, and the like. In addition to the advance borrowing proposal, a message such as "Would you like to purchase 500 jewels by billing?"

When the player 2 inputs the borrowed content acquisition request information D2 via the player terminal 30 based on the borrowing proposal described above (in this embodiment, presses the "YES" button B), step S3 shown in FIG. , the borrowed-advance content acquisition request information D2 is accepted (borrowed-advance reception processing).

When the borrowed content acquisition request information D2 is received, in step S4, based on the received borrowed content acquisition request information D2, in-game currency is given to the player 2 as borrowed content as borrowed content, and information on borrowed borrowed content is stored. processing, pre-borrowed content amnestic processing). The in-game currency owned by the player increases due to the borrowed in-game currency.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the screen interface IF2 of the game when executing the borrowed content provision process. As a result, the player can use the borrowed in-game currency to play Gacha. In the example of FIG. 9, the amount of currency borrowed this time, the in-game content (gacha) that has become executable due to the borrowing, and the remaining amount that can be borrowed are displayed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the total amount borrowed by the player (total amount since the game first started, or total amount within a predetermined period such as the last month or week) may be displayed.

In accordance with this borrowing content provision processing, in the present embodiment, in step S5, game media such as items that can be used in the game are provided to the player 2 as a borrowing privilege (borrowing privilege providing processing).

After that, as a privilege for achieving a predetermined condition in the game such as clearing a quest, in step S6, the player 2 acquires in-game currency as earned currency, and in step S7, the player 2 pays back ( If the user selects to consume the advance payment), in step S8, based on the information stored in the borrowed content storage process, the borrowed content is acquired by consuming the in-game content based on the borrowed content from the acquired in-game content (acquired currency). Repay (consideration consumption processing).

FIG. 10 shows an example of the screen interface IF3 of the game when executing the consideration consumption process.

In accordance with this value consumption processing, in the present embodiment, game media such as items that can be used in the game, for example, are given to the player 2 as a value consumption privilege in step S9 (value consumption privilege granting processing).

On the other hand, in step S7, when the player 2 selects that the other player 2 who is in a friend relationship with the player 2 in the game repays the content borrowed in advance, the in-game currency held by the other player 2 is paid to the player. A subrogated consideration consumption process is executed to consume as a consideration for the borrowed advance contents of 2 (step S7). Incidentally, when such a subrogation consumption process is executed, a subrogation consumption privilege such as the above-mentioned consideration consumption privilege may be given to the other player who has consumed the consideration. Further, in step S7, if the player 2 chooses not to consume the consideration this time, it is not limited to the subrogation consideration consumption process. A configuration may be adopted in which the present consideration consumption processing can be skipped according to the player's request.

In this way, the in-game content is given to the player 2 as the borrowed content based on the borrowed content acquisition request of the in-game content from the player 2, so that when an opportunity to need the in-game content occurs in the game, , the lack of in-game content prevents the opportunity from being spoiled.

Since the borrowed content is consumed as compensation by executing compensation consumption processing when the player 2 acquires the acquired content, the player 2 can consume the compensation for the borrowed content without imposing an excessive burden. can.

Therefore, when an opportunity arises to require the in-game contents, the opportunity is not lost due to lack of the in-game contents, and the consideration for the borrowed contents can be consumed without an excessive burden. , it is possible to prevent the player from losing interest in the game.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, in the above embodiment, it was explained that in-game currency is borrowed in advance, but in-game contents other than in-game currency, such as game media such as breeding materials, synthetic materials, and enhancement items, and in-game points, are acquired as borrowed content. You may make it In-game contents other than in-game currency may also be used as repayment. Also, the type of in-game content to be borrowed in advance and the type of in-game content to be repaid may be the same or may be different.

In the above-described embodiment, the window W1 displaying the text related to the borrowing proposal is popped up on the screen interface IF1, and the input of the borrowing content acquisition request information D2 is accepted. When an opportunity arises, the player 2 may input the borrowed amount as the borrowed content acquisition request information D2 and accept the borrowed content acquisition request information D2.

Further, in this game system, it may be possible to borrow in-game currency in advance only when the player satisfies a predetermined condition. As the predetermined condition, for example, the total playing time from the start of the game to the present time exceeds a preset time. It can be, but is not limited to.

In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the program stored in the server 20 executes information processing related to the game. It may be configured to That is, in the present system, all processing may be executed by the player terminal alone without the server, or some processing may be executed by the player terminal and other processing may be executed by the server. .
