The reservation registration screen 550 shown in FIG. 11 includes an evolution character display area 551, a base character display area 552, a material character display area 553, a lacking character display area 554, operation buttons 505 for performing reservation registration, and character reselection. An operation button 506 for performing is displayed.

In the evolution character display area 551, the evolution character acquired in the process of step S13 described above is displayed. Here, “Character S” is displayed as the evolution character.

In the base character display area 552, the base character designated by the user in the process of step S12 described above is displayed. Here, “Character A” is displayed as the base character. That is, if evolution synthesis is performed for the synthesis source “Character A”, it will evolve to “Character S” as the synthesis destination.

In the material character display area 553, a plurality of material characters acquired in the process of step S14 described above are displayed. Here, “Character X”, “Character Y”, and “Character Z” are displayed as material characters. In other words, these three material characters are required for the evolution synthesis of “Character A” as the composition source. Further, the shortage of material characters (material characters that the user has not yet possessed) identified in the process of step S15 described above are displayed separately from other material characters. Here, “Character Y” and “Character Z”, which are insufficient material characters that the user has not yet possessed, are surrounded by broken lines. On the other hand, “Character X” which is a material character already owned by the user is surrounded by a solid line. In addition, when the determination process in step S17 described above is affirmed, a shortage of material characters to be combined with other base characters are included. In this case, the shortage of “Character Y” and “Character Z” are evolution characters to be combined with other base characters (“Character B” and “Character C”). Other base characters (“Character B” and “Character C”) will be described in detail later.

In the missing character display area 554, among the plurality of material characters required for the evolution synthesis of the base character designated by the user, the material characters for the shortage that the user has not yet possessed are displayed. In addition, among the other base characters acquired in the process of step S16 described above and the plurality of material characters acquired in the process of step S17 described above, the shortage characters specified in the process of step S18 described above are displayed. Is done. Here, as will be described later, “Character P”, “Character Q”, and “Character R” are surrounded by broken lines as characters for the shortage, and the number of shortages is also displayed in association therewith. In the following, the lacking characters will be described in detail.

FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the shortage characters displayed in the shortage character display area 554.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the evolution character that is the synthesis destination of the base character “Character A” is “Character S”. The material characters required for the evolution synthesis of the base character “Character A” are “Character X”, “Character Y”, and “Character Z”. Among the material characters “Character X”, “Character Y”, and “Character Z”, the insufficient material characters that the user has not yet possessed are “Character Y” and “Character Z”.

At this time, “Character Y”, which is the material character of the shortage, is the destination of synthesis of “Character B”, which is another base character. Also, “Character Z”, which is an insufficient material character, is a destination for combining “Character C”, which is another base character. Here, it is assumed that the user possesses “Character B” and “Character C” which are other base characters.

The material characters necessary for the evolutionary synthesis of “Character B”, which is another base character, are “Character P” and “Character Q”. Here, it is assumed that the user does not possess the material characters “Character P” and “Character Q”. Further, the material characters necessary for the evolutionary synthesis of “Character C”, which is another base character, are “Character P” and “Character R”. Here, it is assumed that the user does not possess the material characters “Character P” and “Character R”.

Here, if the user possesses “Character P” and “Character Q” which are material characters, the synthesis is performed by performing evolutionary synthesis of “Character B” which is already possessed by other users. It is possible to obtain “Character Y” which is the previous evolution character. Similarly, if the user possesses “Character P” and “Character R” which are material characters, the synthesis is performed by performing evolution synthesis of “Character C” which is already possessed by other users. You can get “Character Z”, which is the previous evolution character.

That is, if “Character Y” and “Character Z” can be obtained by the evolutionary synthesis of the previous stage, all the material characters will be aligned with “Character X” already possessed. As a result, if these characters are used as the synthetic material, the evolution character “Character S” can be obtained by performing the evolution synthesis of the base character “Character A”.

Therefore, the characters that are insufficient to perform the evolution synthesis of the base character “Character A” are two “Character P”, one “Character Q”, and one “Character R”. Therefore, in the missing character display area 554, “Character P” (2 characters), “Character Q” (1 character), and “Character R” (1 character) are displayed as insufficient material characters.

In this way, the shortage of material characters (“Character Y” and “Character Z”) out of the material characters required for the evolutionary synthesis of the base character (“Character A”) are replaced with other base characters (“Character B”). Or “Character C”), it is an evolutionary character to be synthesized, so even if it is necessary to perform evolutionary synthesis step by step, the missing characters among the characters required for evolutionary synthesis at each stage , You can register as an acquisition target. Also, even if the user does not know the existence of other base characters (“Character B” or “Character C”), the character that is insufficient to perform the evolution synthesis of the base character (“Character A”) that he / she has specified. Can be easily grasped.

Then, a user who desires reservation registration performs an operation for selecting the operation button 505 on the client terminal 10 when the reservation registration screen is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10. On the other hand, a user who desires reselection of a character without requesting reservation registration performs an operation of selecting the operation button 506 when the reservation registration screen is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10. This is performed for the terminal 10.

The operation receiving unit 150 of the client terminal 10 receives an operation for performing reservation registration or an operation for reselecting a character from the user. The request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 makes a request to the server device 20 based on the operation content received by the operation reception unit 150 from the user.

Referring back to FIG. 5, the reservation registration unit 205 of the server device 20 receives the operation content from the client terminal 10 and determines whether or not an operation for performing reservation registration has been received (step S20).

If the result of this determination is that an operation for reselecting a character has been accepted, processing returns to step S11 and the subsequent processing is repeated. On the other hand, when an operation for performing reservation registration is accepted, the process proceeds to the next step S21.

Next, when the reservation registration unit 205 of the server apparatus 20 receives an operation for performing reservation registration, the reservation information set in the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 is designated by the user. Reservation registration related to the base character is performed (step S21).

FIG. 13 is a block diagram showing an example of reservation information. This reservation information includes a reservation ID, a name, an evolution desired object, an acquisition desired object, and the like as items. The reservation ID is information for uniquely identifying the evolution reservation. The name is information indicating a reserved name. The evolution target is information indicating the character ID of the base character designated and registered by the user (that is, the base character displayed in the “base character display area”). The acquisition desired object is information indicating the character IDs of the registered shortage characters (that is, the characters displayed in the “shortage character display area”). As shown in parentheses in the figure, the shortage is also set.

In this way, the user can specify and register the necessary characters for the evolutionary synthesis of the specified base character simply by designating the base character that he / she wants to evolve and synthesize.

"booking confirmation"
FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example related to reservation confirmation of the information processing system 1 in the present embodiment.

The user performs an operation for confirming the reservation on the client terminal 10 when the menu screen is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10. When the user performs this operation, the operation reception unit 150 of the client terminal 10 receives the operation content based on the user's game operation (step S21).

The request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 makes a request to the server device 20 based on the operation content received by the operation reception unit 150 from the user. When the game progress unit 201 of the server device 20 receives an operation content for confirming a reservation from the client terminal 10, the game progress unit 201 requests the notification unit 203 to execute a notification process related to the reservation confirmation.

Specifically, when the notification unit 203 of the server device 20 is requested by the game progress unit 201 to execute a notification process regarding reservation confirmation, the user reservation information set in the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 Thus, the base character registered as the evolution target is acquired for each reservation (step S22).

Next, the notification unit 203 of the server device 20 refers to the character information stored in the character information storage unit 221 and acquires an evolution character as a synthesis destination associated with the acquired base character for each reservation ( Step S23).

Next, the notification unit 203 of the server device 20 refers to the character information stored in the character information storage unit 221 and refers to a plurality of material characters (that is, base characters) associated with the base character acquired in the process of step S22 described above. Material characters required for character evolution synthesis are acquired for each reservation (step S24).

Next, the notifying unit 203 of the server device 20 refers to the user reservation information set in the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and refers to the shortage characters registered as acquisition targets and the number of shortages. Is acquired for each reservation (step S25).

Next, the notification unit 203 of the server device 20 notifies the user of the possession status relating to the character registered in advance as an acquisition desired target based on the various information thus obtained (step S26).

In this embodiment, notification is performed by a confirmation screen as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the display control unit 204 is requested by the notification unit 203 to execute screen display control, the display control unit 204 performs control to display a confirmation screen on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10.

FIG. 15 is an image diagram showing an example of a confirmation screen. The confirmation screen 600 includes an evolution character display area 601, a base character display area 602, a material character display area 603, an insufficient character display area 604, an operation button 605 for canceling a reservation, and an operation button 606 for returning to the menu screen. An operation button 607 for shifting to the next reservation is displayed.

In the evolved character display area 601, the evolved character acquired in the process of step S23 described above is displayed. Here, “Character S” is displayed as the evolution character of “Reservation 1”.

In the base character display area 602, the base character designated by the user in the process of step S22 described above is displayed. Here, “Character A” is displayed as the desired evolution target of “Reservation 1”. That is, if evolution synthesis is performed for the synthesis source “Character A”, it will evolve to “Character S” as the synthesis destination.

In the material character display area 603, a plurality of material characters acquired in the process of step S24 described above are displayed. Here, a plurality of material characters “Character X”, “Character Y”, and “Character Z” necessary for the evolutionary synthesis of “Character A”, which is the target of evolution of “Reservation 1”, are displayed. In addition, the character to be acquired that is acquired in the process of step S25 described above is displayed separately from other material characters. Here, “Character X”, which is an insufficient material character to be acquired, is surrounded by a broken line. On the other hand, “Character Y” and “Character Z”, which are material characters already owned by the user, are surrounded by a solid line.

In the missing character display area 604, a material character as an acquisition desired object is displayed among a plurality of material characters necessary for the evolution synthesis of the base character as an evolution desired object. Here, “Character X” is surrounded by a broken line as an acquisition desired object, and the shortage is also displayed in association with it.

In this way, the user can grasp the possession status regarding the character registered in advance as the acquisition desired object by viewing this confirmation screen. In addition, when the confirmation screen is displayed, the user switches to the next reservation by selecting the operation button 607 (“Reservation 1” → “Reservation 2” →...) Or presses the operation button 605. It is also possible to cancel the reservation by selecting.

《Reservation Renewal》
FIG. 16 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example related to the update of reservation registration of the information processing system 1 in the present embodiment.

When the user clears the quest, the game progression unit 201 of the server device 20 causes the user to acquire the character assigned by the assigning unit 202 (step S31). At this time, by updating the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222, the assigned character is set as the possessed character of the user. And the game progress part 201 of the server apparatus 20 will request execution of a reservation registration update process with respect to the reservation registration part 205, if a user's possessed character is set.

Next, when the game registration unit 205 requests the reservation registration unit 205 of the server device 20 to execute the reservation registration update process, the reservation information of the user is obtained from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 (see FIG. 13). To get. The reservation registration unit 205 refers to the character information stored in the character information storage unit 221, and the character assigned in the process of step S 31 described above is registered in advance in the acquired reservation information as an acquisition desired target. It is determined whether or not the same character matches the character (that is, the shortage character) (step S32).

If it is determined as a result of this determination that the character is not the same as the character registered in advance as the acquisition target, this process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the character is the same as the character registered in advance as the acquisition target, the process proceeds to the next step S33.

Next, the reservation registration unit 205 of the server device 20 updates the reservation information set in the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222, and excludes the same character as the character assigned by the grant unit 202 from the acquisition target. Settings are made (step S33).

At this time, the reservation registration unit 205 of the server device 20 updates the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and registers the excluded character as a protected character (step S34). Thereby, it is possible to protect the excluded character from being used for sale, composition, or the like until the base character registered in advance as the evolution target is evolved and synthesized.

Next, the reservation registration unit 205 of the server device 20 determines whether or not there is a reservation in which all of the characters registered in advance as acquisition targets are excluded from a plurality of reservations set in the user reservation information. Determination is made (step S35).

As a result of this determination, if it is determined that there is no reservation in which all the characters registered in advance as acquisition targets are excluded, the process proceeds to step S38 described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a reservation in which all the characters registered in advance as acquisition targets are excluded, the process proceeds to the next step S36.

Next, the reservation registration unit 205 of the server device 20 is set to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 when it is determined that there is a reservation from which all the characters registered in advance as acquisition targets are excluded. The reservation information is updated and the reservation is released (step S36).

At this time, the reservation registration unit 205 of the server device 20 updates the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222, and registers the base character set as the evolution desired target in the canceled reservation as a protection character. (Step S37).

Next, the reservation registration unit 205 of the server device 20 requests the notification unit 203 to execute notification processing. When the notification unit 203 of the server device 20 is requested to execute the notification process from the reservation registration unit 205, the notification unit 203 notifies the user of various types of information (step S38).

That is, when the determination in step S35 described above is negative, if a pre-registered character is excluded from the acquisition target, the user is notified that a shortage of characters has been acquired. If the determination in step S35 is affirmative, if the reservation is canceled because all the pre-registered characters have been excluded from the acquisition target, the base character specified by the user ( In other words, the user is notified that the evolution synthesis of the base character registered as the evolution target is possible.

In this embodiment, various types of information are notified to the user on the notification screen. Therefore, when the display control unit 204 is requested by the notification unit 203 to execute screen display control, the display control unit 204 performs control to display the notification screen on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10.

As described above, when a character that matches one of the characters registered in advance as an acquisition target is given to the user, the reservation information of the user is updated. Then, the user is notified that all the characters registered in advance as the acquisition target are excluded, so that the base character registered as the evolution target can be evolved and synthesized. Then, when the user's reservation information is updated one after another and the number of insufficient characters registered in advance as acquisition targets gradually decreases, it becomes possible to appropriately grasp the characters that are currently required for the user.

[Other Embodiments]
The above-described embodiments are for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention can be changed and improved without departing from the gist thereof, and the present invention includes equivalents thereof. In particular, the embodiments described below are also included in the present invention.

<Synthetic game>
In the embodiment described above, an example of a synthesis game in which a plurality of material characters previously associated with a base character that is a composition source is synthesized to change the base character into an evolution character that is a composition destination will be described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

For example, instead of synthesizing a material character to a base character, a synthetic game that generates a new character (an evolution character to be synthesized) by synthesizing all the material characters associated with each other may be executed. Good.

In this case, for example, in the character information stored in the character information storage unit 221, a plurality of material characters necessary for generating an evolution character as a synthesis destination by synthesis are set. The reservation registration unit 205 refers to the character information and the user information in response to an operation for designating the evolution character to be synthesized by the user, and generates the designated evolution character by synthesis. Among a plurality of necessary material characters, a shortage of characters that the user has not yet possessed is registered in advance as acquisition targets. In response to the user's operation, the notification unit 203 notifies the user of the possession status regarding the character registered in advance as an acquisition target using the confirmation screen 600.

<Game events>
In the above-described embodiment, the user may be notified of the game type that can easily acquire the designated shortage character by causing the user to specify the shortage character displayed in the shortage character display area. . For example, the notification unit 203 may notify the “quest” that can acquire the designated shortage character as a game item by referring to the character information, or the designated shortage character may be notified. A “lottery game” that can be acquired by lottery may be notified as a game item. As a result, it is possible to easily grasp the game type that can acquire the designated shortage of characters.

In the above-described embodiment, the game type of the character registered in advance as an acquisition target may be notified at a predetermined timing. For example, the notification unit 203 may notify a game item that can acquire a pre-registered shortage of characters based on the playable days set in the quest information and the lottery game information. For example, the user may be notified of a “quest” or “lottery game” that can acquire a pre-registered shortage of characters at the timing of Saturday.

<Reservation confirmation>
In the above-described embodiment, for each reservation, the shortage characters registered in advance as acquisition targets are displayed in the shortage character display area 604, and the user selects the operation button 607 on the confirmation screen 600, whereby the next reservation is made. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

For example, it is also possible to display all the reserved characters (characters registered in advance as acquisition desired objects) in the missing character display area 604 of the confirmation screen 600 together. For example, in the reservation information, “Character A”, “Character B”, and “Character C” are registered in advance as acquisition targets for “Reservation 1”, and “Character B”, “Character C” are acquired as acquisition targets for “Reservation 2”. It is assumed that “Character C” and “Character D” are registered in advance. In this case, “Character A” (1 shortage), “Character B” (2 shortage), “Character C” (2 shortage), “Character D” ( It is also possible to collectively notify the user of the possession status by displaying the total (such as “Reservation 1” and “Reservation 2” together).

<Evolution character decomposition>
In the above-described embodiment, when the material characters for the shortage can be acquired by disassembling the evolution character possessed by the user, the evolution character may be set as the protection character.

For example, if you use multiple characters “Character P” and “Character X” for evolutionary synthesis and you have possessed the evolutionary character “Character W”, degenerate the “Character W” after that evolution. Instead of losing “Character W” from the user's hand, it is assumed that the character can be decomposed into “Character P” and “Character X” material characters and possessed by the user. In this case, the confirmation screen 600 in FIG. 14 may be notified that the missing material character “Character X” can be compensated by disassembling the evolution character “Character W” possessed by the user. . Furthermore, in this case, when the user selects an operation button corresponding to the “character X”, the evolution character “character W” may be registered in the user information as a protection character.

<Protection registration>
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the character is registered for protection in step 34 and step S37 of FIG. 16 has been described as an example. However, it is also possible to omit these processes so that the character is not registered for protection. . In this case, the notification unit 203 may warn the user that the released character is not used for composition or sale at the timing when the user selects the character as the character used for composition or sale. However, if you have more characters than necessary for evolutionary synthesis, you can turn off the warning.

<Reservation registration>
In the above-described embodiment, when the base character designated by the user is registered in advance as a desired evolution target, and the missing characters among the material characters necessary for the evolution synthesis of the base character are registered in advance as acquisition desired targets However, it is also possible to register only the desired acquisition target without registering the desired evolution target.
In the above-described embodiment, the material characters necessary for the evolution synthesis of the base character specified by the user are not limited to the material characters that the user has not yet possessed, but the material characters already possessed by the user You can also make a reservation registration.

<Renewal of reservation registration>
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the granting unit 202 has given a character in the quest has been described as an example in the process of step S31 described above, but the present invention can also be applied to the case where the giving unit 202 has given a character in the lottery game. .
