Further, each of the terminals 3-1 to 3-n is a terminal having a communication means such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. Since these are general-purpose, detailed explanations will be omitted here.

2. Functions of Information Processing Device 1 FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the information processing device 1 and the terminal 3. As shown in FIG. The terminal 3 shown in the figure is any one of the terminals 3-1 to 3-n shown in FIG. Each section shown in FIG. 2 is realized by executing a program on each of the information processing device 1 and the terminal 3.

As shown in the figure, the information processing device 1 includes a game processing section 101, a providing section 102, a selection section 103, a game information holding section 104, and a data processing section 105.

The terminal 3 also includes a game execution section 31, a screen display section 32, and an operation input section 33.

The game processing section 101 is a processing section for performing various processes for the player to proceed with the game executed on the terminal 3, and includes a providing section 102 and a selection section 103.

After the competition in the game executed on the terminal 3 ends, the providing unit 102 provides the product selected by the selection unit 103 according to the player of the game so that the player can acquire it. Specifically, after the end of the match in the game, the providing unit 102 provides the player with the product selected by the selection unit 103 according to the player's match result, the character the player owns in the game, etc. Provides a state in which items can be obtained by exchanging them for in-game items. Here, a product is a game object that a game player can use within the game. For example, the product may be a game object such as a game character that can be operated by a game player. Furthermore, a game player can acquire merchandise in exchange for game items or the like. Note that the game item as compensation for acquiring the product may be a paid game item. Note that the game competition may be played simultaneously on multiple terminals 3 via the information processing device 1, that is, a game in which a player competes against another player. 1 or a player operated by the terminal 3, a so-called NPC (non-player character).

The selection unit 103 selects the product provided by the providing unit 102 based on the operation object held by the game player. The objects to be operated are game objects that are operated by the player, such as characters with motifs of people, animals, imaginary animals, and vehicles such as cars, ships, airplanes, and spaceships. For example, the selection unit 103 may select a product from among the game objects available in the game, other than the game objects owned by the player of the game. For example, the selection unit 103 selects a product from both game objects other than the game objects owned by the game player and game objects owned by the game player among the game objects available in the game. It may also be a matter of choice.

The game information holding unit 104 holds various information regarding the game, including information regarding operation targets held by each player, and competition results of each player. For example, the game information holding unit 104 may store identification information of a game object that is an operation target held by the player in association with a player ID that identifies the player. Furthermore, the game information storage unit 104 may store identification information of game objects as products provided to players.

The data processing unit 105 processes information that requires aggregation and statistical processing among the information held by the game information holding unit 104. For example, the data processing unit 105 identifies an operation target with a high winning rate based on the match results of each player, but at this time, it tallies the match results over a certain period of time.

The game execution unit 31 performs processing for executing the game based on the information provided from the game processing unit 101, and displays a game screen on the screen display unit 32. Further, it advances the game based on the operation input from the operation input section 33 and notifies the game processing section 101 of the result.

The screen display unit 32 displays the game screen processed by the game execution unit 31. For example, the screen display unit 32 displays a match game screen or an acquisition screen (shop screen) shown in FIG. 9. In this embodiment, for example, if it is determined that the acquired screen is to be displayed after the battle ends, the screen display unit 32 controls screen transition so that the acquired screen is displayed following the game screen at the end of the battle. may be used as

The operation input section 33 accepts operation inputs from the player, and notifies the game execution section 31 of the contents of the operations.

3. Post-Competition Processing Next, the flow of post-competition processing by the information processing device 1 and the terminal 3 will be described. FIG. 3 is an activity diagram showing the flow of processing after a match.

First, a competition is held by a player's operation on the terminal 3 (A201), and the information processing device 1 is notified of the competition result. Here, a competition is a game in which the result of the competition is determined according to the player's operations. Note that the match result determines whether the player wins or loses (or draws). For example, when a battle is to be executed between a first player and a second player, a plurality of game objects selected as operation targets from among the game objects held by the first player A first team (deck) whose elements are game objects, and a second team (deck) whose elements are a plurality of game objects selected as operation targets from among game objects held by a second player. This is done based on predetermined rules. Note that a predetermined number (eg, one) of game objects are set as leaders from each team, and game objects other than the leaders of the teams are set as members. At this time, the team strength of each team is determined based on the respective ability values and combinations of the leader and members.

In the information processing device 1 that has received the notification of the competition result, the providing unit 102 determines whether or not the product can be provided based on the notified result, that is, the results of a predetermined number of competitions including the immediately previous competition result. Here, the immediately preceding match is, for example, a match executed by the player's operation, and is the latest game for which the match result has been determined at the time of the above determination. Specifically, the providing unit 102 adds the match results as points (A202), and if the number of points reaches the lottery suitability condition that determines whether or not to conduct a lottery, the provision unit 102 determines whether or not to provide the product. A lottery process is performed to determine which one is the best (A203).

Here, the main points will be explained. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the points. Points are added according to the result of the match; if the player wins the match, 1 point is added; if the player loses, 2 points are added. Furthermore, if the player loses n consecutive times (n is a natural number), points obtained by multiplying n-1 by 25 are added. For example, if the player loses two consecutive losses in a match, 2 points are added corresponding to the losses, and 25 points are added corresponding to the two consecutive losses.

Further, the lottery suitability condition is that the points reach 10 points, that is, that the cumulative points exceed 10 points, 20 points, 30 points, etc. by adding the points.

The lottery process may be such that the higher the rank of the player, the higher the probability of winning, and if the player loses in the match, he or she has a higher probability of winning than if he wins in the match, that is, the product is provided. It may be possible to make it possible. Further, in the lottery process, when the cumulative points become constant, for example, when the cumulative points reach 100 points, the probability of winning may be set to 100%.

In the lottery process, when the result is a win, the providing unit 102 initializes the points (A204), performs provision preparation processing (A205), the terminal 3 performs product acquisition processing (A206), and ends the post-competition processing. do. Note that the provision preparation process and the product acquisition process will be described later.

3. Provision Preparation Process Next, the flow of the provision preparation process by the information processing apparatus 1 in A205 described above will be described. FIG. 5 is an activity diagram showing the flow of provision preparation processing.

In the information processing device 1, the providing unit 102 first specifies the number of slots (A251). The number of slots is the number of products provided by the providing unit 102, and the number is a predetermined number, for example, eight. This number of slots may be made variable by lottery processing or the like.

After specifying the number of slots, the providing unit 102 checks, from the game information holding unit 104, held information indicating the operation object (character, etc.) held by the player (A252).

After specifying the number of slots, the providing unit 102 determines slot allocation (A253). Here, a method for determining frame allocation will be explained. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a method for determining frame allocation. The allocation of slots is determined based on the unpossessed rate of the player's operation target. If the unowned rate is 0%, it goes without saying that there are no operation targets that the player does not own, so the number of slots allocated to unowned operation targets is 0, and the number of slots that are allocated to the unowned operation targets is 0. The number of frames allocated to the current operation target is eight.

In addition, if the percentage of unowned operation targets by the player is between 1% and 5%, the number of slots to be allocated to the unheld operation targets is set to 1, and the number of slots allocated to the operational targets held by the player is 1% to 5%. The number is 7. If the player's unowned rate of operation targets is between 6% and 20%, the number of slots to be allocated to the unowned operation targets is 2, and the number of slots to be allocated to the operation targets owned by the player is Set it to 6. If the player's unpossessed rate of control objects is between 21% and 50%, the number of slots to be allocated to the control objects that the player does not own is 3, and the number of slots to be allocated to the control objects held by the player is 5. Furthermore, if the player's unowned rate of operation targets is 51% or more, the number of slots allocated to the unheld operation targets is set to 4, and the number of slots allocated to the operation targets held by the player is Set it to 4. Note that the allocation of slots is not limited to what has been explained here.

When the providing unit 102 determines the slot allocation, the selection unit 103 checks product information corresponding to the allocated slot (A254), and selects a product by lottery from among the corresponding products (A255). This lottery by the selection unit 103 is repeated as long as there are still undrawn slots. That is, the selection unit 103 performs the lottery a number of times according to the number of slots, for example, eight times.

Therefore, if the slot to be drawn is an unowned slot, the selection unit 103 selects an operation target that is not owned by the player of the game. On the other hand, if the frame to be drawn is a held frame, the selection unit 103 selects the operation target held by the player.

By the way, the operation objects that the player does not own can be divided into a plurality of types. For example, the operation target can be ``Team Strengthen'', which strengthens the player's own team, ``Counter'', which is effective against the opponent team in the previous match, or an attribute that is the same as the own team's attribute based on the operation target's attribute. It can be divided into "same attribute reinforcement" that strengthens the lineup. Then, the selection unit 103 weights each type of operation target based on this type and the player's previous match result, and performs a lottery.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of weighting of operation targets. For example, weighting can be done by classifying the results of a player's previous match into "overwhelming victory," "close victory," "narrow victory," and "loss or draw," and assigning weights to "team reinforcement," "competition," and "same victory," respectively. Weighting of "attribute reinforcement" is carried out.

As a result, if the "team strengthening" operation target is selected by lottery, the selection unit 103 selects the operation target that improves the team strength of the team used by the game player in the competition. In this case, of course, the game played by the players is a competition between teams.

Further, if a "competing" operation object is selected by lottery, the selection unit 103 selects the operation object based on the operation object that the opponent was operating.

Further, if an operation object of "same attribute reinforcement" is selected by lottery, the selection unit 103 selects an operation object with the same attribute as the operation object used by the game player in the battle. In this case, of course, the operation target has attributes.

When the lottery by the selection unit 103 is completed, the providing unit 102 performs ability setting processing for the operation target selected by the lottery (A256). Thereby, the providing unit 102 provides the game player with an operation target having a predetermined ability value. At this time, the providing unit 102 makes the predetermined ability value of the operation object held by the game player higher than the predetermined ability value of the operation object not held by the game player.

4. Product Acquisition Process Next, the flow of the provision preparation process by the terminal 3 in A206 mentioned above will be explained. FIG. 8 is an activity diagram showing the flow of product acquisition processing.

In the product acquisition process, first, the terminal 3 displays a product acquisition screen in response to a notification from the information processing device 1 (A261). In other words, after the competition ends, the providing unit 102 causes the terminal 3 to display a screen where the player can obtain the product. On the other hand, if it is determined that the screen where the product can be acquired is not to be displayed to the player after the competition ends, the screen changes to a screen different from the acquisition screen (for example, a menu screen).

The acquisition screen displayed by the terminal 3 is, for example, as shown in FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of an acquisition screen. As shown in the figure, the screen display unit 32 displays an acquisition screen that includes a title 321 and an icon 322 indicating an operation target that the information processing device 1 can provide. The icon 322 has a name 323 of the object to be operated and a price 324 attached thereto. The icon 322 also has an ability value 325 indicating the ability set by the providing unit 102. The price 324 is a value indicating the value of in-game currency necessary for the player to acquire the operation target.

At this time, the providing unit 102 selects the operation target to be displayed on the acquisition screen based on the operation target, which is the leader of the team used by the game player in the battle, that is, the product that the game player owns. The terminal 3 may highlight operation targets that are not available and are used by a team with a high winning rate, so that the player of the game is encouraged to acquire them.

When the player selects an operation target, which is a product, from the acquisition screen, the information processing device 1 is notified of this from the terminal 3, and the providing unit 102 of the information processing device 1 provides the product (A262), and the terminal 3 displays on the screen display unit 32 that the product has been acquired (A263).

On the other hand, when the player instructs to erase the acquired screen, the screen display unit 32 erases the acquired screen (A264) and displays the icon 326 shown in FIG. 10 (A265). FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of an icon for displaying an acquisition screen.

When the player selects the icon 326, the terminal 3 displays the acquisition screen again (A261).

On the other hand, if a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the product acquisition process, that is, if a predetermined time has elapsed since the player finished competing in the game, the terminal 3 hides the icon 326. (A266) and ends the product acquisition process. This predetermined time is set by the providing unit 102 of the information processing device 1. In other words, the providing unit 102 provides the product for a predetermined period of time after the end of the competition.
