[4] Overview The server device 10 of this embodiment performs processing related to lottery processing in a game (for example, a competitive game, etc.). In particular, the server device 10 of this embodiment holds a jackpot event with a jackpot function (big win function) for a predetermined period (for example, 30 days from July 1st to July 30th) in order to increase interest. provide. For example, all users who participate in the game can participate in the event.

First, upon receiving a request for a first lottery process based on an operation input from a user (player), the server device 10 executes the first lottery process if predetermined conditions are met, and the winning item is given to the user. granted to. Note that the items are game media such as characters and cards that can be used in the game. In this embodiment, multiple users can participate in the first lottery process. Note that the first lottery process is a normal lottery process that is not a jackpot function, and may be called a normal lottery process.

During the jackpot event period, the server device 10 of this embodiment accumulates and stores jackpot items in the jackpot item storage unit 149 when the first lottery process is executed. That is, each time the user executes the first lottery process, jackpot items are accumulated one after another. For example, the more users who touch the first lottery process increase, the more jackpot items are accumulated.

Then, the server device 10 grants the accumulated jackpot items to a specific user at once when a predetermined jackpot granting condition is satisfied within the jackpot event period. In other words, the particular user can win the jackpot and collect a total number of high-rarity items that cannot be obtained in the first lottery process.

Note that this jackpot item may be an item that can be used in the game, or may be an item that exists in the real world (for example, a product such as a passenger car or an electrical appliance).

In addition, during the event period, after giving the jackpot item to a specific user, the server device 10 accumulates the jackpot item again in the jackpot item storage unit, and then the server device 10 accumulates the jackpot item again in the jackpot item storage unit, and then Jackpot items are given to the user, and the jackpot items are repeatedly accumulated and given. In other words, since the winning timing of the lottery process for jackpots cannot be predicted, some users may collect all the jackpot items when the number of accumulated items is small, while other users may collect all the jackpot items when the number of accumulated items is large. In some cases, it may be taken entirely.

In particular, the server device 10 of this embodiment associates the lottery result of the first lottery process with the jackpot item, and makes the lottery result of the first lottery process affect the jackpot item. There is. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to promote the use of the first lottery process. The processing contents of this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[5] Description of the first lottery process [5.1] Lottery contents of the first lottery process As shown in FIG. It is stored in the storage unit 148 and managed.

The lottery content storage unit 148 stores the name of the item, the rarity of the item, and the attribute of the item in association with the item ID (item identification information) for each item to be randomly selected in the first lottery process. , the lottery probability of the item is stored in association with each other.

Here, the rarity of an item indicates its rarity value, and is also referred to as rarity or rarity value. For example, the "rarity" is an index indicating the difficulty of obtaining an item in the initial state of the lottery target group, and in this embodiment, it takes a value from "1" to "5". It is assumed that the lower the rarity of an item, the easier it is to obtain the item, and the higher the rarity of the item, the harder it is to obtain the item. In other words, it is set so that the higher the rarity, the lower the lottery probability of the rarity.

Specifically, the lottery probability of each item with rarity = 5 is set so that the lottery probability of rarity = 5 is 1%, and the rarity is set so that the lottery probability of rarity = 4 is 3%. Set the lottery probability for each item with rarity = 4 so that the lottery probability for rarity = 3 is 6%, and set the lottery probability for each item with rarity = 3 so that the lottery probability for rarity = 2 is 10%. The lottery probability of each item with rarity=2 is set so that the lottery probability of each item with rarity=2 is set, and the lottery probability of each item with rarity=1 is set so that the lottery probability of rarity=1 is 80%.

Note that when there are multiple items corresponding to the rarity, the lottery probabilities for each item may be the same or different.

For example, if the lottery probability of rarity = 4 is 3% and the number of items of rarity = 4 is "3" items U, V, W, each item U, V of rarity = 4 , the lottery probability of W may be uniformly set to 1%, or the lottery probability of item U may be set to 0.9%, the lottery probability of item V may be 1.1%, and the lottery probability of item W may be set to 1%. Furthermore, the lottery probabilities for each item U, V, and W may be set to be different.

Furthermore, basically, in the first lottery process of this embodiment, the lottery probability (winning probability) of each item is not changed, but items that have already been won (extracted elements) are selected from the lottery target group. A box-type lottery process in which random selection is performed with exclusion may be performed. In the box type lottery process, the lottery probability of each item is recalculated and set every time the lottery process is performed.

Furthermore, in the first lottery process of the present embodiment, a lottery is performed to award (dispense) one item in response to a first lottery request from a user, but if two or more items are awarded from a user, A lottery may be held to award two or more items in response to an acquisition request.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the server device 10 stores a probability table (also referred to as a lottery table or a random number table) in which a random number range is set according to the lottery probability of each item of the first lottery target in the lottery content storage unit 148. ). In other words, the probability table is partitioned into random number ranges according to each item.

Then, the server device 10 of this embodiment performs a lottery process based on the probability table. For example, if the lottery probability of item A is set to 6%, the lottery process is performed so that item A wins with a probability of 6%.

That is, in the lottery process of this embodiment, a random number is calculated based on a given random number generation algorithm, and if the calculated random number is within the random number range (for example, 1 to 60) of item A, It is determined that item A has been won, and processing is performed to give item A to the user.

Note that the lottery probability may be a concept with a wide range. For example, if the lottery probability of item A is set to 6%, item A will be won with a probability range of several percentage points around 6% (probability range of 5 to 7%). A lottery process may also be performed.

[5.2] Detailed Description of First Lottery Process When predetermined conditions are met, the server device 10 executes the first lottery process and grants the winning item to the user.

For example, when receiving a lottery request from user A, the server device 10 extracts (selects) one or more items from among a plurality of items to be randomly selected based on the lottery probability set for each item.

Note that the predetermined conditions include, for example, consuming the consumption amount based on predetermined parameters, paying the consideration required for lottery processing (for example, paying a predetermined amount from virtual currency held by the user), and These include clearing a game stage, achieving a predetermined quota in the game, and so on.

For example, when receiving an instruction to "perform a lottery" from user A, the server device 10 consumes (subtracts) a predetermined consumption amount from a predetermined parameter and executes a lottery process. For example, when a touch input to a lottery execution button is detected on the display screen of user A's terminal device 20A, the terminal device 20A transmits lottery execution instruction information to the server device 10, and the server device 10 transmits lottery execution instruction information to the terminal device 20A. Upon receiving the instruction information to execute the lottery, the lottery is executed.

Further, the server device 10 stores the winning item in the user information storage unit 146 in association with the user ID (or the character ID of the user's operation target. The same applies hereinafter). That is, the item is stored in the user information storage unit 146 in association with the user ID as an item owned by the user. Note that in the terminal device 20 as well, the information of the winning item is associated with the user ID and stored in the user information storage unit 273, and the server device 10 and the user's terminal device 20 synchronize the items owned by the user. .

[6] Description regarding jackpot function The server device 10 of the present embodiment accumulates jackpot items in the jackpot item storage section every time the first lottery process is executed from users participating in the game, When granting conditions are met, some or all of the jackpot items are granted to a specific user. In other words, the jackpot item is a jackpot item, and according to the present embodiment, the user performs the first lottery process for the purpose of acquiring the jackpot item, thereby providing a highly interesting game. be able to.

[6.1] Description of Jackpot Item Accumulation Unit FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the concept of the jackpot item accumulation unit 149 and the accumulation period.

First, the server device 10 sets the information stored in the jackpot item storage section 149 to an empty state (NULL) in the initial state at the event start time T1. Further, the server device 10 sets the number of lottery numbers K in the initial state to 0 (initial value).

Then, when the first user A who has requested the first lottery process executes the first lottery process, information on a jackpot item (for example, an item with a rarity of 5) is stored in the jackpot item storage unit 149. FIG. 7 is an example of information stored in the jackpot item storage section. For example, the server device 10 adds and stores in the jackpot item storage unit 149 an item whose item name is “item . Then, 1 is added to the number of drawings K.

Next, when the second user B who made the first lottery process request executes the first lottery process, information on the jackpot item (for example, an item with rarity level 5) is stored in the jackpot item storage unit 149. . For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the server device 10 stores an item whose item name is "item 149 and store it. Then, 1 is added to the number of drawings K to update the number of drawings K=2.

In this way, each time the server device 10 executes the first lottery process in response to a request from a user, the server device 10 adds and stores jackpot items one after another in the jackpot item storage section 149. Note that the server device 10 controls all of the plurality of users participating in the jackpot event using a common jackpot item storage section 149.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the server device 10 executes the first lottery process in response to the request of the user X, and further executes the jackpot lottery process. If the user X wins in the jackpot lottery process, all the jackpot items in the jackpot item storage section 149 are given to the user X. Therefore, the jackpot item accumulation section 149 has the image of a kusudama where jackpot items are accumulated, and the winning user X will collect all the jackpot items as if he had broken a kusudama. .

Note that the server device 10 may manage the number of jackpot items stored in the jackpot item storage section 149. The server device 10 sets the number N of the jackpot items in the initial state to 0 (initial value), and when adding a jackpot item to the jackpot item storage unit 149, the server device 10 sets the number N of the jackpot items in the initial state to 0 (initial value), and when adding a jackpot item to the jackpot item storage unit 149, the number N of jackpot items added to the jackpot item storage unit 149 is Add the additional number of jackpot items to the number of jackpot items. Further, when a jackpot item is deleted from the jackpot item storage unit 149, the server device 10 subtracts the deleted number from the number of jackpot items.

Note that the accumulation ID is used to manage the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section, and is assigned a unique (only) number for identifying the jackpot item.

In addition, the server device 10 adds 1 to the number of drawings K in one first drawing process based on one drawing request from one user, but the server device 10 adds 1 to the number of drawings K in one first drawing process based on one drawing request from one user. When the first lottery process is executed continuously (for example, 10 times in a row) based on the lottery request for the first lottery, a numerical value corresponding to the consecutive number of times (for example, 10) is added to the number of lottery times K.

[6.2] Description of Accumulation Period As shown in FIG. 6, the server device 10 sets the jackpot event start time T1 as the accumulation start time of the first accumulation period L1. The end point of the accumulation period L1 is set to be the timing T2 when the first jackpot item is given to the specific user.

The accumulation start time of the second accumulation period L2 is set to be the end time T2 of the first accumulation period L1. The end point of the accumulation period L2 is set to be the timing T3 when the second jackpot item is given to the specific user.

In this way, the accumulation start time point of the Nth accumulation period LN is the end time point T(N-1) of the (N-1)th accumulation period. Then, the end point of the accumulation period LN is the timing TN when the Nth jackpot item is given to the specific user.

Note that the server device 10 controls the lottery number K to be reset to the initial value (0) at the start of the accumulation period.

[6.3] Description of control of jackpot items The server device 10 of the present embodiment controls the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149 based on the lottery result information of the first lottery process. .

Here, the "lottery result information of the first lottery process" may be information regarding the lottery result of the first lottery process. "Lottery result information of the first lottery process" includes, for example, the item won in the first lottery process, the number of draws in the first lottery process, the period from the start of accumulation of jackpot items to the present time, the first This may be at least one piece of information about the user who requested the lottery process. Moreover, the "lottery result information of the first lottery process" may be the lottery content of the first lottery process or the timing of the first lottery process. Note that the server device 10 stores and manages "lottery result information of the first lottery process" in the storage unit 170.

Furthermore, "controlling the jackpot item" means, for example, changing the jackpot item itself, information about the jackpot item (e.g. attributes, rarity, parameters (parameters such as attack power, defense power, recovery power, etc.) ), replacing jackpot items, adding jackpot items, deleting jackpot items, etc.

Note that "controlling jackpot items" may mean changing the number of jackpot items, changing the ratio of each level of rarity, or changing the number of items of each level of rarity.

[6.3.1] Additional Control As shown in FIG. 8(A), the server device 10 may perform control to add a jackpot item based on the lottery result information of the first lottery process. good. For example, the server device 10 determines at least one of the type (attributes, rarity, etc.) and number of jackpot items to be controlled by the jackpot item storage unit based on the lottery result information of the first lottery process. You can also do this.

To be more specific, for example, the server device 10 determines that the more the number of drawings K in the first drawing processing (the number K of drawings in the first drawing processing from the start of accumulation of jackpot items to the present moment) increases, the more the jackpot Jackpot items are added so that the number of jackpot items accumulated in the item accumulation section 149 increases. Further, the server device 10 may add a jackpot item with a higher degree of rarity as the number of drawings K increases.

Note that the server device 10 may set an upper limit (for example, 100) to the number of jackpot item storage units 149.

Further, the server device 10 may add jackpot items so that the longer the period from the start of jackpot item accumulation to the current time, the more jackpot items are accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149. . Further, the server device 10 may add a jackpot item with a higher degree of rarity as the period is longer.

Further, if the item won in the first lottery process has a rarity of "1", the server device 10 adds one jackpot item to the jackpot item storage unit 149, and adds the item won in the first lottery process to the jackpot item storage unit 149. If the item has a rarity of "5", five jackpot items may be added to the jackpot item storage section 149. That is, the server device 10 may determine the number of items to be added to the jackpot item storage section 149 (number of additions) based on the rarity of the item won in the first lottery process. For example, the server device 10 controls so that the higher the rarity of the item won in the first lottery process, the greater the number of items to be added to the jackpot item storage section 149 (number of additions).

Further, if the item won in the first lottery process has a rarity of "1", the server device 10 adds a jackpot item with a rarity of "3" to the jackpot item storage unit 149, and performs the first lottery process. If the item won in the first lottery process has a rarity of "2", a jackpot item with a rarity of "4" is added to the jackpot item storage section 149, and the item won in the first lottery process has a rarity of "3 or higher". In this case, a jackpot item with a rarity of "5" may be added to the jackpot item storage section 149. That is, the server device 10 may determine the rarity level to be added to the jackpot item storage section 149 based on the rarity level of the item won in the first lottery process. For example, the server device 10 controls so that the higher the rarity of the item won in the first lottery process, the higher the rarity of the jackpot item added to the jackpot item storage section 149.

The server device 10 also generates jackpot items based on aggregate information of items won in the first lottery process (for example, the number of winnings for each rarity during the period from the start of accumulation of jackpot items to the present time). The contents of the jackpot item to be added to the storage unit (the jackpot item itself, the rarity of the jackpot item, the attributes and parameters of the jackpot item, etc.) may be determined.

The server device 10 also generates jackpot items based on aggregate information of items won in the first lottery process (for example, the number of winnings for each rarity during the period from the start of accumulation of jackpot items to the present time). The number of jackpot items to be added to the storage section may be determined.

Further, the server device 10 may determine the number of jackpot items to be added to the jackpot item storage section 149 (number of additions) based on the level of the user who requested the first lottery process. For example, the server device 10 controls so that the higher the level of the user who requested the first lottery process, the greater the number of jackpot items to be added to the jackpot item storage section 149 (number of additions).

Further, the server device 10 may perform control such that the higher the level of the user who requested the first lottery process, the higher the rarity of the jackpot item added to the jackpot item storage section 149.

Further, the server device 10 may be controlled such that the more users log in, the more jackpot items are added to the jackpot item storage section 149 (number of additions).

Further, the server device 10 may control the jackpot item to be added to the jackpot item storage unit 149 so that the rarity level becomes higher as the number of users who log in increases.

Further, the server device 10 may be controlled to add a jackpot item to the jackpot item storage unit 149 at the timing when the number of users who log in reaches a predetermined number (for example, 1000 people).

Further, the server device 10 may determine the jackpot item to be added to the jackpot item storage unit based on the number of users who have requested the first lottery process from the start of jackpot item accumulation to the present time. good.

In addition, the server device 10 controls the number of jackpot items to be added to the jackpot item storage unit 149 to increase as the number of users who have requested the first lottery process from the start of jackpot item accumulation to the present time increases. may be controlled.

Furthermore, the server device 10 determines that the greater the number of users who have requested the first lottery process from the start of accumulation of jackpot items to the present time, the higher the rarity of the jackpot item to be added to the jackpot item accumulation section 149. It may be controlled as follows.

Further, the server device 10 stores the jackpot item accumulation unit 149 at the timing when the number of users who have requested the first lottery process from the start of jackpot item accumulation to the present time reaches a predetermined number (for example, 1000 people). , may be controlled to add jackpot items.

In addition, when the server device 10 receives multiple lottery requests from one user and executes the first lottery process multiple times in succession, the server device 10 may win one or more jackpot items of rarity 5. Control may be performed to add the jackpot item to the jackpot item storage section 149.

[6.3.2] Control of Replacement As shown in FIG. 8(B), the server device 10 controls the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item storage unit 149 based on the lottery result information of the first lottery process. Performs processing to replace items. Note that replacing the jackpot item means changing the jackpot item itself. For example, when the number of items accumulated in the jackpot item storage section 149 reaches the upper limit number (100), the server device 10 performs a process of replacing the jackpot items so as not to exceed the upper limit number.

The server device 10 of the present embodiment may determine items to be replaced among the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149, according to the lottery result information of the first lottery process.

For example, when the upper limit of the number of items to be accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149 is set to 100, the control is performed as follows. In other words, if 100 jackpot items have already been accumulated, the server device 10 adds a new jackpot item with ID=101 to the jackpot item accumulation unit 149, and instead adds the new jackpot item with ID=101. Replacement processing is performed by deleting items with a lower rarity than .

[6.3.3] Data change control As shown in FIG. 8(C), the server device 10 stores the jackpot item storage unit 149 based on the lottery result information of the first lottery process. Performs processing to change jackpot item data.

For example, the server device 10 changes the parameter of the jackpot item so that the parameter (for example, attack power, etc.) of the jackpot item accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149 increases as the number of drawings K increases. let

The server device 10 also controls the parameters (for example, attack power, etc.) of the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation unit 149 to become higher as the period from the start of accumulation of jackpot items to the present time becomes longer. , the parameter of the jackpot item may be varied.

For example, the server device 10 also determines that the longer the time difference (period) between the execution timings of the first lottery process, the lower the parameters (for example, attack power, etc.) of the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149. The parameter of the jackpot item may be changed so that the jackpot item has the same parameter.

The period from timing Ta when a given user (for example, user A) executed the first lottery process to timing Tb when the next given user (for example, user B) executed the first lottery process is 1. If the time is greater than or equal to 10 minutes, the parameters of the jackpot item (for example, attack power, etc.) accumulated in the jackpot item storage section 149 are reduced by 1%, and thereafter, the parameters of the jackpot item are reduced by 1% every time 1 minute elapses. (For example, attack power, etc.) is decreased by 1%. In this way, all users participating in the event can be urged to execute the first lottery process.

[6.3.4] Deletion Control As shown in FIG. 8(D), the server device 10 deletes the jackpot items stored in the jackpot item storage unit 149 based on the lottery result information of the first lottery process. You may also delete (remove) the pot item.

For example, if the period from the start of accumulation of jackpot items to the present time is longer than a predetermined period (one week or more), the server device 10 stores a predetermined number of jackpot items from the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149. (For example, 10 jackpot items) may be controlled to be deleted. In this way, it is possible to prompt the player to perform the first lottery process at an early stage of the jackpot event.

Further, for example, when it is determined that a luxury product (for example, a passenger car) will be given to the winner of the first jackpot item, the server device 10 deletes information about the luxury prize from the jackpot item storage unit 149. It may be controlled as follows.

[6.3.5] Control Processing Based on User Selection The server device 10 may control the jackpot items stored in the jackpot item storage section 149 based on the user's selection.

For example, the server device 10 may receive an instruction from a user to select an item owned by the user, and may add (or replace) the selected item to the jackpot item storage section 149.

Note that the server device 10 pre-registers items that the user wants to add to the jackpot item storage section 149, and adds the pre-registered items to the jackpot item storage section 149 when the conditions for addition are met. You can do it like this. For example, the server device 10 determines that the conditions for the addition are met when the number of first lottery times of the user reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100 times).

[6.3.6] Control processing based on lottery result information of second lottery process In addition, the server device 10 controls the amount of jackpots accumulated in the jackpot item storage unit 149 based on the lottery result information of the second lottery process. Pot items may also be controlled.

For example, when performing additional control, the server device 10 selects items to be added to the jackpot item storage section 149 through a second lottery process. That is, the winning item in the second lottery process is added to the jackpot item storage section 149.

Note that the server device 10 defines the lottery contents of the second lottery process (items to be randomly selected, lottery probability for each item, lottery table, etc.) in advance and stores them in the lottery contents storage unit 148.

[6.4] Description of Jackpot Items The server device 10 of this embodiment will explain the details of the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149.

[6.4.1] Example of using a jackpot-dedicated item as a jackpot item The server device 10 of the present embodiment selects a jackpot-dedicated item from among a plurality of preset jackpot-dedicated items (jackpot-dedicated items). The jackpot item may be determined as a jackpot item, and the jackpot item may be stored in the jackpot item storage section 149.

For example, the preset plural types of jackpot items may be items that can be used in a game, or may be products such as passenger cars.

Note that the server device 10 stores and manages a plurality of preset jackpot items in the storage unit 170.

[6.4.2] Example of setting an item owned by a user as a jackpot item In addition, the server device 10 of the present embodiment determines an item selected from among items owned by a user as a jackpot item. However, the jackpot item may be accumulated and stored in the jackpot item accumulation section 149.

For example, the server device 10 determines the jackpot item by automatically or by the user selecting items owned by the user.

Specifically, the server device 10 automatically selects an item from among items owned by a given user, determines the selected item as a jackpot item, and stores the jackpot item in jackpot item accumulation. section 149 (or replace it). Note that the control to automatically select means that the server device 10 selects under CPU control without depending on a selection instruction from the given user. Further, the server device 10 may automatically select an item owned by a given user at the timing when the first lottery process is performed based on a lottery request from a given user.

Further, as described above, the server device 10 receives an instruction from a given user to select an item from among the items owned by the user, determines the selected item as a jackpot item, and Pot items may be added to (or replaced with) the jackpot item storage section 149. Note that the server device 10 may receive an instruction to select an item owned by a given user at the timing when the first lottery process is performed based on a lottery request from a given user.

Note that when an item selected automatically or based on a user's selection instruction is determined as a jackpot item and the jackpot item is added to (or replaced with) the jackpot item storage unit 149, the server device 10 selects the selected item. The item may be deleted from the items owned by the user, or the item may be maintained as the item owned by the user.

In addition, related items are set for each item owned by the user, and the server device 10 automatically selects the related item (or receives a selection instruction from the user) and selects the selected item. The jackpot item may be determined as a jackpot item, and the jackpot item may be added to (or replaced with) the jackpot item storage section 149.

Note that the server device 10 previously sets (stores) items related to each item owned by the user in the storage unit 170. Further, the server device 10 may automatically select the relevant item or select it based on the user's selection instruction at the timing when the first lottery process is performed based on a lottery request from a given user. .

[6.4.3] Example in which the item to be drawn in the first lottery process is a jackpot item The jackpot item accumulated in the jackpot item storage unit 149 of this embodiment is the lottery target item in the first lottery process. Any one of a plurality of target items may be included. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the server device 10 assigns a lottery in the first lottery process as shown in FIG. It is controlled to include any one of a plurality of target items (for example, item Z with ID=50).

That is, the server device 10 selects an item from among a plurality of items to be drawn in the first lottery process, and determines the selected item as a jackpot item. Then, the determined jackpot item may be stored in the jackpot item storage section 149.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the server device 10 selects one (or a plurality of items) of a plurality of items to be drawn in the first lottery process, and The item may be added (or replaced) to the jackpot item storage section 149 as a jackpot item.

For example, the server device 10 executes a first lottery process in response to a request from user A, and if an item D with item ID=4 is won in the first lottery process, the server device 10 grants the item D to user A. , the same item as the item D may be determined as the jackpot item, and the jackpot item may be added to (or replaced with) the jackpot item storage section 149.

Further, the server device 10 executes the first lottery process in response to a request from the user A, and if the item D with item ID=4 is won in the first lottery process, the server device 10 gives the item D to the user A. , an item different from the item D may be determined as the jackpot item, and the jackpot item may be added to (or replaced with) the jackpot item storage section 149. For example, the server device 10 selects any one (or a plurality of items) of a plurality of items other than the item D as a lottery target in the first lottery process. , determine the jackpot item.

Further, the server device 10 executes the first lottery process according to a request from the user A,
In the first lottery process, if item D with item ID = 4 (rarity = 1) is won, the item D will be given to user A, and an item with rarity = 1 equivalent to the item D will be given to the jackpot. The jackpot item may be determined to be an item and added to (or replaced with) the jackpot item storage section 149. For example, the server device 10 selects one (or a plurality of items) out of a plurality of items whose rarity is 1 and which is a lottery target in the first lottery process. , determine the jackpot item.

In addition, the server device 10 executes a first lottery process in response to a request from the user A, and in the first lottery process, if item D with item ID = 4 (rarity = 1) is won, the item D is given to user A, an item with a higher rarity than the rarity of the item D (for example, an item with a rarity of 2 or higher) is determined as a jackpot item, and the jackpot item is accumulated as a jackpot item. It may be added to (or replaced with) the section 149. For example, the server device 10 selects one (or more) from among a plurality of items with a rarity of 2 or higher that are lottery targets in the first lottery process. , determine the jackpot item.

[6.4.4] Others The plurality of jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149 include jackpot-specific items, items owned by the user, and items to be drawn in the first lottery process. They may be mixed.

[6.5] Description of the process of determining whether or not to grant a jackpot item Every time the server device 10 executes the first lottery process in response to a lottery request from the user, the server device 10 stores jackpot items in the jackpot item storage unit 149. It is determined whether or not to give the jackpot item to any one of the plurality of users.

[6.5.1] Jackpot lottery process The server device 10 of the present embodiment determines whether or not to award a jackpot item by performing a jackpot lottery process. For example, if the server device 10 wins a jackpot lottery process, the server device 10 determines that it will be given to a specific user among a plurality of users, and if the player does not win a jackpot lottery process, the server device 10 determines that the award will be given to a specific user. It is determined not to grant it to any user.

For example, the server device 10 may control the lottery probability a (judgment reference value) of the jackpot lottery process to be changeable. For example, the server device 10 may change the lottery probability a based on the lottery result information of the first lottery process.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the lottery probability a when the number of lots K = 0 in the first lottery process is set to 0.001% (lower limit value), and the lottery probability a when the number of lots K is 10,000 is set to 0.001% (lower limit). The lottery probability a is increased to 0.002% (upper limit). For example, the lottery probability a may be increased in proportion to the number of lottery numbers K, or the lottery probability a may be increased using a given calculation formula. Then, when the number of drawings K becomes 10001 or more, the drawing probability a is decreased in accordance with the number of drawings K.

Further, the server device 10 may change the jackpot lottery probability a based on the accumulation status of jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149 (for example, the number of jackpot items). good.

Further, the server device 10 may change the jackpot lottery probability a based on the number of users who have performed the first lottery process. For example, when the number of users is 10,000, the lottery probability a is increased according to the number of users so that the lottery probability a becomes the upper limit, and when the number of users is 10,001 or more, the lottery probability a is increased according to the number of users. The lottery probability a is decreased.

Further, the server device 10 may change the jackpot lottery probability a according to the passage of time. For example, the lottery probability a is changed over time so that the lottery probability a becomes the upper limit value at midnight of the day, and the lottery probability a becomes the lower limit value at noon.

[6.5.2] Other Judgment Examples The server device 10 is not limited to lottery processing for jackpots, but can use various methods to collect jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation unit 149 into multiple pieces. It may be determined whether or not to grant it to any specific user. For example, the server device 10 may determine that if the user clears a predetermined game, it will be given to a specific user among the plurality of users.

For example, the server device 10 may correct the lottery probability a of the jackpot lottery process for each user based on the user's game progress status. For example, the server device 10 performs a jackpot lottery process using a predetermined lottery probability a for users who have not cleared a predetermined stage (for example, stage 3), and For users who have cleared 3), the lottery probability a may be increased (increased by 0.01%) and a jackpot lottery process may be performed.

For example, the server device 10 may correct the lottery probability a of the jackpot lottery process based on the game progress of a plurality of users participating in the game (event). For example, when the number of users who have cleared a predetermined stage (for example, stage 3) exceeds a predetermined number (20,000 people), the server device 10 increases the lottery probability a (0.02 % increase) to perform jackpot lottery processing.

[6.5.3] Timing of Judgment For example, when the server device 10 executes the first lottery process for the user, the server device 10 executes the jackpot lottery process for the user. Make decisions on granting pot items. For example, the server device 10 executes a first lottery process in response to a request from the user A, and stores jackpot items determined based on lottery result information of the first lottery process in the jackpot item storage unit 149. After storing, a jackpot item is determined to be awarded to user A by executing jackpot lottery processing.

Note that the server device 10 may determine whether to award a jackpot item at any timing of the user's discretion. For example, when user B consumes a predetermined item (for example, a jackpot execution item), the server device 10 performs a jackpot lottery process and determines whether or not to award the jackpot item to user B. You can judge.

For example, the server device 10 may decide to award a jackpot item when a predetermined time has arrived. For example, at 0:00 every day, one user is selected by lottery from among multiple users participating in a game (event), the selected user is designated as a specific user, and a jackpot item is given to the specific user. You may decide to do so.

[6.5.4] Minimum Guarantee Conditions In addition, the server device 10 allows the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149 to be stored in the jackpot item accumulation section 149 when the jackpot items do not satisfy the minimum guarantee conditions. It may be determined that the jackpot item is not to be given to a specific user.

The minimum guarantee conditions are, for example, (A) the number of drawings is a predetermined number (for example, 10 times) or more, and (B) the rarity of at least one item stored in the jackpot item storage section 149 is 5. (C) the storage period is longer than a predetermined period (for example, one hour), and so on. Note that the server device 10 determines that the minimum guarantee condition is satisfied if at least one of (A) to (C) is provided.

[6.6] Description of granting jackpot items When it is determined that a jackpot item is to be granted, the server device 10 grants the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item storage unit 149 to a specific user. .

For example, the server device 10 performs a lottery process for a jackpot, and determines that if a winner is won in the lottery process for a jackpot, the award is to be given to a specific user among the plurality of users.

[6.6.1] Specific User In the present embodiment, the server device 10 determines whether to award a jackpot to the user who has received the first lottery request, for example, as a specific user. For example, when receiving a first lottery request from user A, the server device 10 executes a jackpot lottery process in conjunction with the first lottery process, and if the server device 10 wins the jackpot lottery process, , the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149 are given to user A.

Note that the server device 10 may set a user B, who is unrelated to the user A who received the first lottery request, as the specific user, and give the jackpot item to the user B.

[6.6.2] Giving Jackpot Items The server device 10 controls to give all the jackpot items stored in the jackpot item storage unit 149 to a specific user. In other words, a specific user can obtain many luxury items that cannot be obtained through a normal lottery.

Note that the server device 10 may grant some of the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149 to a specific user. For example, if 100 jackpot items are accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149, the one most luxurious jackpot item is the A prize, and the next nine most luxurious jackpot items (for example, If 80 other jackpot items (for example, items with rarity level 4) are accumulated as prize B, and 80 other jackpot items (for example, items with rarity level 4) are accumulated as prize C, then either the jackpot of prize A, B, or C will be awarded. A pot item (Prize A) may be given to a specific user. For example, each time a jackpot item is awarded, the jackpot items may be awarded to a specific user in descending order (Prize A, Prize B, Prize C).

Further, the server device 10 stores the winning jackpot item in the user information storage unit 146 in association with the user ID of the winning user (or the character ID of the user's operation target. The same applies hereinafter). That is, the jackpot item is stored in the user information storage unit 146 as an item owned by the user in association with the user ID. Note that the terminal device 20 also stores the information of the winning jackpot item in the user information storage unit 273 in association with the user ID, and the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 of the user Sync items.

Note that, if the winning jackpot item is a product such as a passenger car, the server device 10 notifies the person in charge of the operating company (via e-mail or the like). For example, the operating company will make arrangements to deliver the product to the winner of the jackpot item at a later date.

[6.6.3] History Management of Jackpot Item Granting The server device 10 may store and manage the history of users who have given jackpot items in the storage unit 170. For example, control may be performed so that user A who has been awarded a specific jackpot item (for example, a jackpot item for prize A) is not awarded the same jackpot item again. For example, when user A awards a jackpot item for the second time, the jackpot item of prize B or prize C is awarded.

[6.6.4] Distribution process for multiple jackpot items When 80 jackpot items are awarded to a specific user A, the server device 10 distributes the distribution to multiple users including user A (for example, user A, 20 jackpot items may be given to each person (total of 4 people B, C, and D). Note that the server device 10 may receive an instruction in advance from the user as to whether the distribution is permitted or not, and store the distribution permission or prohibition in the storage unit 170 for each user. Then, a plurality of users including the user to whom the jackpot item is to be distributed are set only to the user set to be able to distribute the jackpot item, and the jackpot item is controlled to be distributed to the determined plurality of users. Note that the distribution ratio may be set differently for each user.

[6.6.5] Timing of granting jackpot items For example, when user A wins a lottery process for a jackpot, the server device 10 provides a jackpot item at the same time as granting the winning item in the first lottery process. The pot item may be given to user A, or the jackpot item may be given to user A at a timing different from the time when the winning item is given in the first lottery process.

Note that the server device 10 may award the jackpot item at the user's arbitrary timing. For example, when user B consumes a predetermined item (for example, a jackpot execution item), the server device 10 performs a jackpot lottery process, and if the user B wins the jackpot lottery process, user B A jackpot item may be given to the player.

For example, the server device 10 may decide to award a jackpot item when a predetermined time has arrived. For example, at 0:00 every day, one user is selected by lottery from among multiple users participating in a game (event), the selected user is designated as a specific user, and a jackpot item is given to the specific user. You may also do so.

[6.7] Control of the lottery contents of the first lottery process The server device 10 also controls the lottery contents of the first lottery process based on the jackpot item information accumulated in the jackpot item storage section 149. It may also be controlled. In other words, not only the lottery result information of the first lottery process influences the content of the jackpot item, but conversely, the information of the jackpot item influences the first lottery process. In this way, the interest of the first lottery process can be further improved.

For example, the server device 10 may increase the lottery probability of an item having the same attribute as the latest jackpot item stored by the jackpot item storage section 149.

Further, the server device 10 may add or delete the same item as the latest jackpot item stored by the jackpot item storage unit 149 as a lottery target in the first lottery process.

Further, for example, when receiving a request for the first lottery process from user A, the server device 10 sends the same item as the latest jackpot item accumulated by the jackpot item accumulation unit 149 to the first lottery process. The item may be given to the user A as a special bonus item accompanying the item won in the lottery process.

Further, for example, the server device 10 changes the attribute ratio of the item to be drawn in the first lottery process according to the attribute ratio of the jackpot item accumulated by the jackpot item storage unit 149. It's okay.

Furthermore, for example, the server device 10 may determine the number of jackpot items for each rarity of the jackpot items accumulated by the jackpot item storage unit 149 for each rarity of the item to be drawn in the first lottery process. The ratio of the number may be changed.

Further, for example, the server device 10 may determine the number of jackpot items with rarity = 5 accumulated by the jackpot item storage unit 149, with rarity = 5 of the item to be drawn in the first lottery process. The number may be changed. For example, as the number of jackpot items with rarity = 5 accumulated by the jackpot item storage unit 149 increases, the server device 10 increases the number of items with rarity = 5 to be drawn in the first lottery process. It may be increased.

Further, for example, the server device 10 may replace the lottery table of the first lottery process with another lottery table according to the jackpot item information stored by the jackpot item storage unit 149.

Further, for example, the server device 10 may perform the first lottery process from a one-time lottery method to a lottery method in which the first lottery process is performed multiple times in succession according to the jackpot item information stored by the jackpot item storage unit 149. The method may be changed.

Further, for example, the server device 10 may change the lottery method of the first lottery process to a box-type lottery process (in which the winning item is selected as a lottery target) according to the jackpot items accumulated by the jackpot item accumulation unit 149. This may be a lottery process in which items are removed from items to reduce the lottery population, or it may be a step-up type lottery process in which the contents of the item (for example, rarity, etc.) are leveled up according to the number of times the item is drawn. .

[6.8] Description of Reset Process When the jackpot item accumulated in the jackpot item storage unit 149 is given to a specific user, the server device 10 of the present embodiment performs a reset process (initialization process I do). Note that the server device 10 performs a reset process every time a jackpot lottery process is won. Specifically, the server device 10 performs a process of resetting the lottery result information of the first lottery process.

Here, the process of resetting the lottery result information of the first lottery process means setting the lottery result information of the first lottery process to an initial state. Note that the server device 10 performs the reset process at the timing of updating the start point of accumulation of jackpot items. For example, the process of resetting the lottery result information of the first lottery process performed by the server device 10 includes (A) setting the number of draws K of the first lottery process to an initial value (0), and (B) the storage unit. 170, and (C) setting information on users who requested the first lottery process (for example, number of users, etc.) to an initial value (0). , etc.

In other words, as shown in FIG. 6, when a jackpot item is given to a specific user value (for example, set to number of drawings K = 0). Then, the server device 10 performs a process of controlling (for example, adding, etc.) jackpot items in the jackpot item storage section 149 based on the lottery result information of the first lottery process acquired from time T2.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the server device 10 resets (for example, sets to NULL) the information of the jackpot item accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149 at the new accumulation start time point T2.

Note that, as shown in FIG. 6, the server device 10 does not reset the information on the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149 at time T2 and continues to accumulate the information on the jackpot item accumulation section 149. Information on jackpot items may also be used. That is, the server device 10 may reset only the lottery result information of the first lottery process at time T2. Furthermore, at time T2, the server device 10 resets the jackpot item information accumulated in the jackpot item storage unit 149, and may continue to use the lottery result information of the first lottery process without resetting it. good.

[6.9] Presentation [6.9.1] Presentation of accumulation status As shown in FIG. 10, the server device 10 displays the accumulation status of jackpot items to each user on the terminal device 20 of each user. It's okay.

Here, the "accumulation status of jackpot items" refers to information about at least one jackpot item accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section, the period from the start of accumulation of jackpot items to the present time, and the number of items accumulated in the period. This is the number of drawings in the first drawing process, etc.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the server device 10 presents the contents (name, rarity, attribute) of each jackpot item currently stored in the jackpot item storage section 149.

In this way, the user can look at the accumulation status and predict whether or not the jackpot item can be acquired now, and the user can think about the timing to execute the first lottery process. You can work on it.

[6.9.2] Presenting summary information The server device 10 may present summary information regarding at least one jackpot item stored in the jackpot item storage section 149 to the user.

For example, summary information of jackpot items newly accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149 is presented to users participating in the game. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the number of accumulated jackpot items for each rarity level may be presented. In this way, the user will perform the first lottery with the aim of acquiring the jackpot item, and the use of the first lottery process can be promoted.

Note that the server device 10 may be controlled to present only summary information regarding jackpot items to the user, and not to present the accumulation status of jackpot items to the user. In this way, the details of the accumulation status of jackpot items can be obscured, the user's desire to explore jackpot items can be increased, and the use of the first lottery process can be promoted. be able to.

[6.9.3] Others The server device 10 instructs the user's terminal device 20 to add or replace the item selected in the second lottery process to the jackpot item storage unit 149 as a jackpot item. In this case, information regarding the selected item as a jackpot item (which may also be summary information such as rarity) may be presented.

The server device 10 also sends an image of the jackpot item storage section 149 to the user's terminal device 20 based on the current contents of the jackpot item storage section 149 (the number of jackpot items and the number of items with rarity = 5). An image of a kusudama may be displayed. For example, the larger the number of jackpot items in the jackpot item storage section 149, the larger the image of the kusudama may be displayed. Further, the color of the kusudama may be changed as the number of jackpot items with rarity=5 in the jackpot item storage section 149 increases.

Furthermore, when the server device 10 wins in the jackpot lottery process, for example, the server device 10 may execute an effect process to notify the winning user X's terminal device 20 that the jackpot item has been acquired. good. For example, the server device 10 controls the terminal device 20 of the winning user X to display an image or video indicating that the jackpot item has been acquired. Further, the server device 10 may determine the performance content according to the accumulation status (number of jackpot items) of the jackpot item accumulation section 149. For example, the server device 10 may store in the storage unit 170 in advance a plurality of presentation contents that differ in splendor, and execute the presentation process with the more luxurious presentation contents as the number of jackpot items increases.

Note that the server device 10 may present to the terminal devices 20 of multiple users other than the winning user X that the jackpot item has been awarded.

[7] Flowchart An example of the process flow of this embodiment will be described using flowcharts in FIGS. 12A and 12B.

First, as shown in FIG. 12A, when a jackpot event is started (step S1), the number of drawings K is set to an initial value (0) (step S2).

When the first lottery request is received from the user (step S3), the first lottery process is executed (step S4), and the item won in the first lottery process is given to the user (step S5). Then, 1 is added to the number of drawings K in the first drawing process (step S6
). Then, the jackpot item is controlled based on the number of drawings K (step S7).

Next, as shown in FIG. 12B, a jackpot lottery process is executed (step S11). In the jackpot lottery process, it is determined whether or not the user has won (step S12), and if the user has won (Y in step S12), the jackpot item is given to the user (step S13). For example, if the user who made the first lottery request in step S3 is user X, all jackpot items are awarded to user X. Then, a reset process is performed (step S14). For example, the reset process is a process of updating the number of drawings K to an initial value (0) and deleting all jackpot item information in the jackpot item storage section 149. On the other hand, if the jackpot lottery process is unsuccessful (N in step S12), the process proceeds to step S15.

Then, it is determined whether the jackpot event has ended (step S15), and if the jackpot event has not ended (N in step S15), the process returns to step S3. On the other hand, if the jackpot event ends (Y in step S15), the process ends. This completes the process.

[8] Application example [8.1] Processing for controlling jackpot items based on predetermined setting information The server 10 of this embodiment may control jackpot items based on predetermined setting information. .

For example, the server device 10 may determine in advance the jackpot item to be added to the jackpot item storage section 149, depending on the number of drawings K.

In addition, the server device 10 predetermines only the rarity of the jackpot item to be added (replaced), and provides a given value corresponding to the rarity to be added (replaced) to the jackpot item storage unit 149 according to the number of drawings K. It is also possible to select the item in a lottery process and store the selected item in the jackpot item storage section 149 as a jackpot item. For example, when the number of drawings K is 1 to 50, the server device 10 sets the added rarity level to 4, and stores the jackpot item with the rarity level 4 in the jackpot item storage unit 149. Then, when the number of drawings K is 51 to 100, the server device 10 sets the added rarity to 5 and accumulates the jackpot item of rarity 5 in the jackpot item storage section 149. Then, when the number of drawings K is 100 or more, the server device 10 controls to add a new jackpot item with a rarity of 5 and delete a jackpot item with a low rarity.

In addition, the server device 10 presents in advance to each user (each of the plurality of users (displayed on the terminal device 20).

[8.2] Regarding control of jackpot items The server device 10 has explained an example in which the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section are controlled based on the lottery result information of the first lottery process. Regardless of the lottery result information of the first lottery process, the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section may be controlled based on given information.

For example, the server device 10 may control the jackpot items stored in the jackpot item storage section according to the number of times the jackpot item has been won. For example, the jackpot items accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149 during the 1st to 50th accumulation periods are items with a rarity of 3 or higher, and are accumulated in the jackpot item accumulation section 149 during the 51st accumulation period. Jackpot items should be items with a rarity of 1 or higher. In this way, it is possible to prompt the user to use the first lottery process at an early stage of the jackpot event so that the player can win the jackpot item quickly.
