Embodiment 1
A game system according to the present disclosure is a system for providing a game to a plurality of users. Hereinafter, the game system will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to these exemplifications, but is defined by the scope of claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of claims. The In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the same elements in the description of the drawings, and repeated description is not repeated.

<Hardware configuration of game system 1>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the game system 1. The game system 1 includes a plurality of user terminals 100 and a server 200 as illustrated. Each user terminal 100 is connected to the server 200 via the network 2. The network 2 includes various mobile communication systems constructed by the Internet and a radio base station (not shown). Examples of the mobile communication system include a so-called 3G and 4G mobile communication system, LTE (Long Term Evolution), and a wireless network (for example, Wi-Fi (registered trademark)) that can be connected to the Internet through a predetermined access point. It is done.

  The server 200 (computer, information processing apparatus) may be a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or a personal computer. The server 200 includes a processor 20, a memory 21, a storage 22, a communication IF 23, and an input / output IF 24. These components included in the server 200 are electrically connected to each other via a communication bus.

  The user terminal 100 (computer, information processing apparatus) may be a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, a feature phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or a tablet computer. The user terminal 100 may be a game device suitable for game play. As illustrated, the user terminal 100 includes a processor 10, a memory 11, a storage 12, a communication interface (IF) 13, an input / output IF 14, a touch screen 15 (display unit), a camera 17, and a distance measuring sensor 18. With. These components included in the user terminal 100 are electrically connected to each other via a communication bus. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may be configured to be able to communicate with one or more controllers 1020. For example, the controller 1020 establishes communication with the user terminal 100 in accordance with a communication standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). The controller 1020 may have one or more buttons and the like, and transmits an output value based on a user input operation to the buttons and the like to the user terminal 100. The controller 1020 may include various sensors such as an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor, and transmits output values of the various sensors to the user terminal 100.

  Note that the controller 1020 may include the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 instead of or in addition to the user terminal 100 including the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18.

  For example, at the start of a game, the user terminal 100 desirably allows a user who uses the controller 1020 to input user identification information such as the user's name or login ID via the controller 1020. As a result, the user terminal 100 can associate the controller 1020 with the user, and identifies which user the output value belongs to based on the transmission source (controller 1020) of the received output value. be able to.

  When the user terminal 100 communicates with a plurality of controllers 1020, each user grasps each controller 1020, so that the one user terminal 100 does not communicate with other devices such as the server 200 via the network 2. Multi-play can be realized. Further, each user terminal 100 is connected to each other by a wireless standard such as a wireless local area network (LAN) standard (communication connection is not performed via the server 200), so that a plurality of user terminals 100 can realize multi-play locally. You can also When the above-described multiplay is realized locally by one user terminal 100, the user terminal 100 may further include at least a part of various functions described later included in the server 200. Further, when the above-described multi-play is realized locally by a plurality of user terminals 100, the plurality of user terminals 100 may be provided with various functions described later included in the server 200 in a distributed manner.

  Note that the user terminal 100 may communicate with the server 200 even when the above-described multiplayer is realized locally. For example, information indicating a play result such as a result or win / loss in a certain game may be associated with the user identification information and transmitted to the server 200.

  The controller 1020 may be configured to be detachable from the user terminal 100. In this case, a coupling portion with the controller 1020 may be provided on at least one surface of the housing of the user terminal 100. When the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 are coupled by wire through the coupling unit, the user terminal 100 and the controller 1020 transmit and receive signals via the wire.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may accept the mounting of a storage medium 1030 such as an external memory card via the input / output IF 14. Accordingly, the user terminal 100 can read the program and data recorded in the storage medium 1030. The program recorded in the storage medium 1030 is a game program, for example.

  The user terminal 100 may store the game program acquired by communicating with an external device such as the server 200 in the memory 11 of the user terminal 100, or store the game program acquired by reading from the storage medium 1030 in the memory 11. May be stored.

  As described above, the user terminal 100 includes the communication IF 13, the input / output IF 14, the touch screen 15, the camera 17, and the distance measuring sensor 18 as an example of a mechanism for inputting information to the user terminal 100. Each of the above-described units serving as an input mechanism can be regarded as an operation unit configured to accept a user input operation.

  For example, when the operation unit is configured by at least one of the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18, the operation unit detects an object 1010 in the vicinity of the user terminal 100, and performs an input operation from the detection result of the object. Identify. As an example, a user's hand as an object 1010, a marker having a predetermined shape, or the like is detected, and an input operation is specified based on the color, shape, movement, or type of the object 1010 obtained as a detection result. The More specifically, when a user's hand is detected from a captured image of the camera 17, the user terminal 100 performs a user's input operation on a gesture (a series of movements of the user's hand) detected based on the captured image. Identify and accept as Note that the captured image may be a still image or a moving image.

  Alternatively, when the operation unit includes the touch screen 15, the user terminal 100 identifies and accepts a user operation performed on the input unit 151 of the touch screen 15 as a user input operation. Or when an operation part is comprised by communication IF13, the user terminal 100 specifies and receives the signal (for example, output value) transmitted from the controller 1020 as a user's input operation. Alternatively, when the operation unit includes the input / output IF 14, a signal output from an input device (not shown) different from the controller 1020 connected to the input / output IF 14 is specified and accepted as a user input operation.

<Game overview>
The game system 1 is not limited to a specific genre, and may be a system for executing games of any genre. The game system 1 is not limited to a specific play form, and may be a system for executing a game of any play form.

  The game system 1 is a system for executing a battle game as an example. For example, in the competitive game, a team consisting of one or more characters operated by a user using one computer and a team consisting of one or more characters operated by the other user using the other computer are played. It is. For example, the competitive game may be a competitive baseball game. As an example, the competitive baseball game is a communication competitive baseball game in which a battle progresses as a baseball game between the first user terminal 100 and the second user terminal 100 communicating via the server 200.

  In the online battle baseball game executed by the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, each team is operated by the first user terminal 100 and the second user terminal 100 as an example. For each inning, the game progresses while the team's offense and defense are swapped. When the match is over, the result of the match (winning or losing, or in some cases a draw) is confirmed, and this is recorded as the match result.

  In the present embodiment, after the match is over, a game medium corresponding to the battle result is provided to the user as a reward for playing the battle.

  In the online competitive baseball game according to the present embodiment, when the user does not wish to control the baseball player who is the character, the user operates the user terminal 100 to notify the server 200 of the fact. be able to. When the server 200 receives the notification from the user terminal 100, the server 200 refers to various information related to the ongoing battle, and the character's action result (throwing result or hitting result) is obtained regardless of the user's operation, that is, Automatically determined based on the game program. Then, the determined operation result is transmitted to the user terminal 100 of the opponent. That is, the server 200 controls the character instead of the user terminal 100. Hereinafter, the user controlling the character himself is referred to as manual control, and the server 200 controlling the character on behalf of the user is referred to as auto control.

<Hardware components of each device>
The processor 10 controls the operation of the entire user terminal 100. The processor 20 controls the operation of the entire server 200. The processors 10 and 20 include a central processing unit (CPU), a micro processing unit (MPU), and a graphics processing unit (GPU).

  The processor 10 reads a program from a storage 12 described later and develops it in a memory 11 described later. The processor 20 reads a program from a storage 22 described later and develops it in a memory 21 described later. The processor 10 and the processor 20 execute the developed program.

  The memories 11 and 21 are main storage devices. The memories 11 and 21 include storage devices such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The memory 11 provides a work area to the processor 10 by temporarily storing a program and various data read from the storage 12 described later by the processor 10. The memory 11 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 10 is operating according to the program. The memory 21 provides the work area to the processor 20 by temporarily storing various programs and data read from the storage 22 described later by the processor 20. The memory 21 temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 20 is operating according to the program.

  In the present embodiment, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation between the user terminal 100 and the server 200. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation of a plurality of user terminals 100. The various data includes data relating to the game such as user information and game information, and instructions or notifications transmitted / received between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 or between the plurality of user terminals 100.

  The storages 12 and 22 are auxiliary storage devices. The storages 12 and 22 are constituted by a storage device such as a flash memory or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). Various data relating to the game is stored in the storage 12 and the storage 22.

  The communication IF 13 controls transmission / reception of various data in the user terminal 100. The communication IF 23 controls transmission / reception of various data in the server 200. The communication IFs 13 and 23 control communication using, for example, communication via a wireless local area network (LAN), Internet communication via a wired LAN, a wireless LAN, or a cellular phone network, and short-range wireless communication.

  The input / output IF 14 is an interface for the user terminal 100 to accept data input, and is an interface for the user terminal 100 to output data. The input / output IF 14 may input / output data via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) or the like. The input / output IF 14 may include, for example, a physical button of the user terminal 100, a camera, a microphone, a speaker, or the like. The input / output IF 24 of the server 200 is an interface for the server 200 to accept data input, and is an interface for the server 200 to output data. The input / output IF 24 may include, for example, an input unit that is an information input device such as a mouse or a keyboard, and a display unit that is a device that displays and outputs an image.

  The touch screen 15 of the user terminal 100 is an electronic component that combines an input unit 151 and a display unit 152. The input unit 151 is a touch-sensitive device, for example, and is configured by a touch pad, for example. The display unit 152 is configured by, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display.

  The input unit 151 detects a position where a user operation (physical contact operation such as a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, and a tap operation) is input to the input surface, and inputs information indicating the position. A function of transmitting as a signal is provided. The input unit 151 may include a touch sensing unit (not shown). The touch sensing unit may adopt any method such as a capacitance method or a resistance film method.

  Although not shown, the user terminal 100 may include one or more sensors for specifying the holding posture of the user terminal 100. This sensor may be, for example, an acceleration sensor or an angular velocity sensor. When the user terminal 100 includes a sensor, the processor 10 can specify the holding posture of the user terminal 100 from the output of the sensor and perform processing according to the holding posture. For example, when the user terminal 100 is held in the portrait orientation, the processor 10 may perform a portrait screen display in which a portrait image is displayed on the display unit 152. On the other hand, when the user terminal 100 is held sideways, a horizontal screen display in which a horizontally long image is displayed on the display unit may be used. As described above, the processor 10 may be able to switch between the vertical screen display and the horizontal screen display according to the holding posture of the user terminal 100.

  The camera 17 includes an image sensor and the like, and generates a captured image by converting incident light incident from a lens into an electric signal.

  The distance measuring sensor 18 is a sensor that measures the distance to the measurement object. The distance measuring sensor 18 includes, for example, a light source that emits pulse-converted light and a light receiving element that receives the light. The distance measuring sensor 18 measures the distance to the measurement object based on the light emission timing from the light source and the light reception timing of the reflected light generated when the light emitted from the light source is reflected by the measurement object. The distance measuring sensor 18 may include a light source that emits light having directivity.

  Here, an example in which the user terminal 100 receives a detection result of detecting an object 1010 in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 using the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 as an input operation of the user will be further described. The camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided on the side surface of the housing of the user terminal 100, for example. A distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided in the vicinity of the camera 17. As the camera 17, for example, an infrared camera can be used. In this case, the camera 17 may be provided with an illumination device that emits infrared light, a filter that blocks visible light, and the like. Thereby, it is possible to further improve the detection accuracy of the object based on the captured image of the camera 17 regardless of whether it is outdoors or indoors.

  The processor 10 may perform one or more processes on the captured image of the camera 17, for example, among the processes shown in the following (1) to (5). (1) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17 to identify whether the captured image includes a user's hand. The processor 10 may use a technique such as pattern matching as an analysis technique employed in the above-described image recognition processing. (2) Moreover, the processor 10 detects a user's gesture from the shape of a user's hand. For example, the processor 10 specifies the number of the user's fingers (the number of fingers extending) from the shape of the user's hand detected from the captured image. The processor 10 further identifies a gesture performed by the user from the number of identified fingers. For example, when the number of fingers is five, the processor 10 determines that the user has performed a “par” gesture. In addition, when the number of fingers is 0 (no finger is detected), the processor 10 determines that the user has made a “goo” gesture. On the other hand, when the number of fingers is two, the processor 10 determines that the user has performed a “choke” gesture. (3) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the image captured by the camera 17 to detect whether the user's finger is in the state where only the index finger is raised or whether the user's finger has moved. . (4) The processor 10 determines an object 1010 (such as a user's hand) in the vicinity of the user terminal 100 based on at least one of the image recognition result of the image captured by the camera 17 and the output value of the distance measuring sensor 18. ) And the user terminal 100 are detected. For example, the processor 10 determines whether the user's hand is near (for example, a distance less than a predetermined value) or far (for example, a predetermined value) depending on the size of the shape of the user's hand specified from the captured image of the camera 17. It is detected whether the distance is above. When the captured image is a moving image, the processor 10 may detect whether the user's hand is approaching or moving away from the user terminal 100. (5) If it is determined that the distance between the user terminal 100 and the user's hand has changed while the user's hand is detected based on the image recognition result of the captured image of the camera 17, the processor 10 recognizes that the user is shaking his / her hand in the shooting direction of the camera 17. When an object is not detected in the distance measuring sensor 18 having higher directivity than the shooting range of the camera 17, the processor 10 indicates that the user is shaking his / her hand in a direction perpendicular to the shooting direction of the camera. recognize.

  In this manner, the processor 10 determines whether or not the user is grasping his / her hand by image recognition on the captured image of the camera 17 (“Goo” gesture or other gesture (eg “Par”)). ) Is detected. The processor 10 also detects how the user is moving the hand along with the shape of the user's hand. In addition, the processor 10 detects whether the user is approaching or moving away from the user terminal 100. Such an operation can correspond to an operation using a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch panel. For example, the user terminal 100 moves the pointer on the touch screen 15 according to the movement of the user's hand, and detects the user's gesture “goo”. In this case, the user terminal 100 recognizes that the user is continuing the selection operation. Continuation of the selection operation corresponds to, for example, maintaining a state where the mouse is clicked and pressed, or maintaining a touched state after a touchdown operation is performed on the touch panel. Further, when the user further moves his / her hand while the user's gesture “go” is detected, the user terminal 100 performs such a series of gestures as an operation corresponding to the swipe operation (or drag operation). It can also be recognized. In addition, when the user terminal 100 detects a gesture that the user repels a finger based on the detection result of the user's hand based on the captured image of the camera 17, the user terminal 100 clicks the gesture or taps the touch panel. You may recognize as operation corresponding to.

<Functional configuration of game system 1>
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating functional configurations of the server 200 and the user terminal 100 included in the game system 1. Each of the server 200 and the user terminal 100 may include a functional configuration necessary for realizing a known function in a game, and a functional configuration necessary for functioning as a general computer (not shown).

  The user terminal 100 has a function as an input device that receives a user input operation and a function as an output device that outputs a game image and sound. The user terminal 100 functions as the control unit 110 and the storage unit 120 through cooperation of the processor 10, the memory 11, the storage 12, the communication IF 13, the input / output IF 14, and the like.

  The server 200 communicates with each user terminal 100 and has a function of supporting the user terminal 100 to advance the game. For example, sales of valuable media and provision of services are executed. When the game is a multiplayer game, the server 200 may have a function of communicating with each user terminal 100 participating in the game and mediating exchanges between the user terminals 100. The server 200 functions as the control unit 210 and the storage unit 220 through the cooperation of the processor 20, the memory 21, the storage 22, the communication IF 23, the input / output IF 24, and the like.

  The storage unit 120 and the storage unit 220 store a game program 131, game information 132, and user information 133. The game program 131 is a game program that is executed by the user terminal 100 and the server 200. The game information 132 is data that the control unit 110 and the control unit 210 refer to when executing the game program 131. The user information 133 is data relating to the user account. In the storage unit 220, game information 132 and user information 133 are stored for each user terminal 100.

(Functional configuration of server 200)
The control unit 210 performs overall control of the server 200 by executing the game program 131 stored in the storage unit 220. For example, the control unit 210 transmits various data and programs to the user terminal 100. The control unit 210 receives part or all of the game information or user information from the user terminal 100. When the game is a multiplayer game, the control unit 210 may receive a multiplayer synchronization request from the user terminal 100 and transmit the synchronization data to the user terminal 100.

  The control unit 210 functions as a battle support unit 211, a billing processing unit 212, a box processing unit 213, and a card providing unit 214 according to the description of the game program 131. The control unit 210 can also function as other functional blocks (not shown) in order to support the progress of the game on the user terminal 100 according to the nature of the game to be executed.

  The battle support unit 211 supports the progress of the battle by each user terminal 100. Specifically, matching of opponents is performed based on a request from each user terminal 100, or the progress of the battle in each user terminal 100 is synchronized at a necessary timing.

  In response to the service request from the user terminal 100, the billing processing unit 212 executes billing processing in return for providing the requested service. As an example, the billing processing unit 212 stores in the storage unit 220 a charge amount that is associated with the user identification information and charges money to the user associated with the user identification information.

  In this embodiment, as an example, the service to be charged by the charging processing unit 212 is a service that allows the user to acquire one or more game media that can be used in this game. As an example, the game medium is a character that performs a battle in accordance with a user operation. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a character as a game medium is acquired by the user as digital content that looks like a card. When the card is acquired by the user, the user can organize characters corresponding to the card into a team and use them in a battle.

  Specifically, in this embodiment, the user holds a pack (first right) enclosing one or more cards. In this embodiment, a pack is digital content that looks like a wrapping bag that encloses one or more predetermined number of cards, and is a right for the user to acquire one or more predetermined number of cards. In the present embodiment, when the user plays the game, when the predetermined first condition is satisfied, the held pack is opened, and a predetermined number of cards are acquired by the user. The first condition may be satisfied by accumulating a predetermined amount or more of rewards given for the user playing the game. This makes it possible to motivate the user to play with the incentive of obtaining a reward and opening the pack.

  On the other hand, a service for opening the pack without waiting for the first condition to be satisfied and allowing the user to acquire a card linked to the pack at a timing desired by the user may be charged. .

  Further, in the present embodiment, a service for unpacking a box (packing medium) in which a plurality of the above packs are packed and allowing the user to obtain a card obtained by opening each pack may be charged. That is, the box is digital content that looks like a box in which a predetermined number of packs are packed. In the present embodiment, the box is unpacked as long as the second condition is satisfied. As an example, the second condition is that a predetermined number of consideration (valuable medium) corresponding to the box is consumed, and the user performs a purchase operation permitting the consumption. That is, when the user performs a purchase operation for purchasing a box, the second condition is satisfied and the box is unpacked. As a result, the user can collect a larger number of cards than one pack at a time without waiting for the first condition to be satisfied. In the present embodiment, there may be restrictions on purchasing the box. For example, the above-described purchase operation may not be performed unless the user has a box purchase ticket (hereinafter referred to as a ticket) for purchasing a box. In this case, the purchase operation is an operation of permitting consumption of the held ticket and consumption of the valuable medium that is the consideration of the box. When the purchase operation is performed by the user, the second operation is performed. The condition is met.

  The card providing unit 214 performs a process of opening the pack, and provides the card enclosed in the pack to the user who is the owner of the pack. In the present embodiment, as an example, the “process for opening a pack” is a process for specifying a card to be provided to a user from a population of various cards corresponding to various types of characters. The card providing unit 214 may specify a card to be provided by executing a lottery. The winning probability of each card may be defined in advance in the winning probability table, for example. The card providing unit 214 may refer to the winning probability table and execute the above-described lottery based on the defined winning probability. In the winning probability table, a winning probability may be set for each card belonging to the population. Alternatively, the rarity level is set for the card according to the ability of the character, and the winning probability table may be information defining which rarity card wins with what probability. The rarity is a scale representing the high value of the character associated with the card in the game. The stronger the character in the battle and the higher the ability, the higher the rarity is. Set to character card. Therefore, the rarity set for the card is an indicator of the strength or ability of the associated character.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, ranks are set for the packs, and a winning probability table may be generated in advance for each rank of the packs. In the winning probability table for each rank, it is preferable that the winning probability is set such that the higher the pack rank, the higher the probability that a card of a character with a high degree of rarity will win.

  The box processing unit 213 executes a process of unpacking the box and instructs the card providing unit 214 to open each pack packed in the box.

  In this embodiment, as an example, the “process for unpacking a box” determines the ranks of a predetermined number of packs to be linked to the box, and transmits each rank determined for each pack to the card providing unit 214. It is processing. The box processing unit 213 may determine the rank of the pack by lottery.

  In the present embodiment, the unpacking of the box is executed when the user has a ticket and performs the purchase operation described above for satisfying the second condition. A ticket (second right) is digital content that looks like a voucher for purchasing a box, and the user can unpack the box and collect more cards than one pack. It is.

  In the present embodiment, when a user plays a game, a predetermined third condition is satisfied, whereby a ticket is given to the user. As an example, the third condition is that the number of battles in the game reaches a predetermined number. For example, every time a user plays 10 battles, one ticket may be given to the user. Thereby, it is possible to motivate the user to play the game by using a ticket that can be acquired as many cards as an incentive.

(Functional configuration of user terminal 100)
The control unit 110 performs overall control of the user terminal 100 by executing the game program 131 stored in the storage unit 120. For example, the control unit 110 advances the game according to the game program 131 and the user's operation. In addition, the control unit 110 communicates with the server 200 and transmits / receives information as necessary while the game is in progress.

  In accordance with the description of the game program 131, the control unit 110 includes an operation reception unit 111, a display control unit 112, a user interface (hereinafter referred to as UI) control unit 113, an animation generation unit 114, a battle progress unit 115, an acquisition preparation unit 116, And it functions as the acquisition execution unit 117. The control unit 110 can also function as other functional blocks (not shown) in order to advance the game according to the nature of the game to be executed.

  The operation receiving unit 111 detects and receives a user input operation on the input unit 151. The operation reception unit 111 determines what input operation has been performed based on the user's action on the console via the touch screen 15 and other input / output IF 14, and outputs the result to each element of the control unit 110. To do.

  For example, the operation reception unit 111 receives an input operation on the input unit 151, detects the coordinates of the input position of the input operation, and identifies the type of the input operation. The operation reception unit 111 specifies, for example, a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, a tap operation, and the like as the types of input operations. Further, the operation receiving unit 111 detects that the contact input is canceled from the touch screen 15 when the input that has been continuously detected is interrupted.

  The UI control unit 113 controls a UI object displayed on the display unit 152 in order to construct a UI. The UI object is a tool for the user to make an input necessary for the progress of the game to the user terminal 100 or a tool for obtaining information output during the progress of the game from the user terminal 100. The UI object is not limited to this, but is, for example, an icon, a button, a list, a menu screen, or the like.

  The animation generation unit 114 generates an animation indicating the motion of various objects based on the control mode of the various objects. For example, an animation or the like representing a state in which a lottery is being executed may be generated.

  The display control unit 112 outputs a game screen on which the processing results executed by the above-described elements are reflected on the display unit 152 of the touch screen 15. The display control unit 112 may display a game screen including the animation generated by the animation generation unit 114 on the display unit 152. Further, the display control unit 112 may draw the UI object described above by superimposing it on the game screen.

  The battle progress unit 115 communicates with the server 200 to advance the battle. Further, when the battle is finished, a reward corresponding to the battle result is given to the user. The reward is a pack as an example. The reward is a point for satisfying the first condition for enabling the pack to be opened. The reward is a ticket necessary for purchasing the box.

  The acquisition preparation unit 116 shifts the pack held by the user to a state in which the user can acquire a card. In other words, the pack is shifted to a state where it can be opened. That is, the acquisition preparation unit 116 performs a process necessary to satisfy the first condition that is the unsealing condition.

  In this embodiment, as an example, when a predetermined number of points given as a reward for a battle are accumulated for a pack, the pack can be opened. In the present embodiment, the points may not be accumulated unless the pack is placed in the slot. Further, points may not be accumulated unless a game medium to be accumulated is set in the slot. The acquisition preparation unit 116 places the pack in the slot, sets a scout man in the slot, and accumulates the given points for each pack. That is, the points given after the match is over are added to the accumulation points associated with the packs arranged in the slots.

  In this embodiment, a predetermined number of slots are provided to the user. For example, by default, three slots are defined in the game information 132 in association with the user. The acquisition preparation unit 116 can add points in association with packs by arranging packs in slots. When the first condition assigned to the pack is satisfied by the points being added by the acquisition preparation unit 116, that is, when the total of the points reaches a predetermined number that is the first condition, The acquisition preparation unit 116 shifts the pack to a state where it can be opened. Thereby, the acquisition execution part 117 mentioned later can acquire the card | curd of a character based on a pack.

  The acquisition execution unit 117 allows the user to acquire the card so that the character card can be used in the battle. In the present embodiment, as an example, there are two methods for a user to acquire a card. The first method is a method of consuming a pack that has been transferred to a state where the card can be acquired by the acquisition preparation unit 116 and causing the server 200 to open the pack. The second method is a method of accepting a user's purchase operation, consuming a ticket, requesting the server 200 to purchase a box, and causing the server 200 to unpack the box.

  In the first method, the acquisition execution unit 117 may cause the user to acquire a predetermined number of cards linked to the pack in exchange for the pack that can be used. More specifically, the acquisition execution unit 117 transmits a pack opening request specifying the rank of the pack to be opened to the server 200. The card providing unit 214 of the server 200 opens the pack and determines a predetermined number of cards to be acquired by the user according to the rank of the pack. The card providing unit 214 notifies the acquisition executing unit 117 of the determined card as a response to the above request. Thereby, the acquisition execution part 117 can make a user acquire a card | curd.

  In the second method, the acquisition execution unit 117 may allow a user to acquire a card obtained by opening a pack in a box by consuming a predetermined amount of valuable medium as a price in exchange for a ticket. Good. Specifically, the acquisition execution unit 117 transmits a box unpacking request to the server 200 by consuming the ticket. The box processing unit 213 of the server 200 unpacks the box and determines the rank of each pack linked to the box. The card providing unit 214 determines a card to be acquired by the user, for example, by performing lottery for each pack according to the rank of each pack. Since multiple packs are tied to the box, unpacking the box based on the second method collects more cards than opening the one pack based on the first method. Can be obtained.

  The card providing unit 214 notifies the acquisition executing unit 117 of the determined card as a response to the above request. Thereby, the acquisition execution part 117 can make a user acquire a card | curd.

  Here, “giving”, “acquiring”, or “holding” digital content such as game media to a user is a user terminal on which the user operates digital content that has a predetermined effect in the game. It means transition to a state that can be used in 100 or a state that can be used conditionally. Specifically, the user terminal 100 or the server 200 stores the digital content in association with the user in the storage unit 120 or the storage unit 220, or sets an availability flag for the digital content. The user is made to acquire game media. The acquisition execution unit 117 stores the card notified from the server 200 as a card held by the user in the storage unit 120, thereby allowing the user to acquire the card.

  Note that the functions of the server 200 and the user terminal 100 shown in FIG. 2 are merely examples. The server 200 may include at least a part of functions included in the user terminal 100. Further, the user terminal 100 may include at least a part of the functions included in the server 200. Furthermore, a device other than the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be used as a component of the game system 1, and the other device may be caused to execute part of the processing in the game system 1. That is, the computer that executes the game program in the present embodiment may be any of the user terminal 100, the server 200, and other devices, or may be realized by a combination of these devices.

<Explanation of unpacking mechanism>
An example of a mechanism for opening a pack in the game system 1 will be described based on the game screens shown in FIGS. Each game screen is configured by a UI component generated by the UI control unit 113, an animation generated by the animation generation unit 114, or a combination thereof. The game screen generated by the UI control unit 113 or the animation generation unit 114 is displayed on the display unit 152 of the user terminal 100 by the display control unit 112.

  The game screen shown in FIG. 3 is a specific example of the reward acquisition screen 300 displayed when the battle is over. The reward acquisition screen 300 includes, for example, an experience value 401, gold 402, and scout points 403 that are given as rewards for playing the battle. The experience value is given in association with the user who plays the battle. If the experience value is accumulated more than a certain level, the user rank increases. The user rank may influence, for example, the parameters of the team or each player, and the influence acts more positively so that the higher the user rank, the more advantageous the battle. Gold is a valuable medium that can be consumed in a game to be played, for example, a virtual currency. Specifically, various items for advantageously proceeding with the battle in exchange for gold may be available.

  A scout point is an example of the above-mentioned point. Scout points (hereinafter referred to as points) are accumulated for packs arranged in slots. By accumulating points and reaching a predetermined number, the conditions associated with the pack can be satisfied. Therefore, in order to open the pack and obtain the card, the user plays the battle repeatedly with strong motivation in order to obtain points.

  When the user plays a battle, the battle progress unit 115 may calculate the above-described reward even if the user loses the battle. Moreover, it is preferable that the battle progress part 115 calculates a reward so that more experience value, gold, and a point are provided, so that a battle result is good. As a result, it is possible to avoid motivation for a user with low skill level and no results. On the other hand, users who have a high level of skill can develop a competitive spirit that they do not want to lose or want to win with good results, or a desire to improve their skills. In this way, it is possible to further enhance the motivation of any user regardless of skill level for playing the game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the battle progress unit 115 may store the rate at which the battle has progressed based on auto control, that is, the usage rate of auto control. Then, which rank pack is to be given to the user may be determined based on the usage rate of the automatic control. Specifically, the battle progress unit 115 may determine the reward so that a higher-rank pack is awarded as the auto-control usage rate is lower. Thereby, the play based on manual control can be prompted to a user, and the interest property of the game in an interpersonal battle can be improved further.

  Also, the battle progress unit 115 may notify the user of the usage rate of the auto control that has been monitored. Specifically, in accordance with an instruction from the battle progress unit 115, the UI control unit 113 may include the auto control usage rate as the auto usage rate 404 in the reward acquisition screen 300 illustrated in FIG. 3. Further, the UI control unit 113 may include the competition score 405 in the reward acquisition screen 300.

  The game screen shown in FIG. 4 is a pack acquisition screen 400. The pack acquisition screen 400 is generated for the purpose of notifying the user that a pack as a reward has been given to the user according to the competition results.

  The pack acquisition screen 400 includes, as an example, a pack 406 that is given as a reward for playing a battle. The display control unit 112 may display the reward acquisition screen 300 shown in FIG. 3 and the pack acquisition screen 400 shown in FIG. 4 simultaneously on one screen, or sequentially display them in an arbitrary order. In addition, it is preferable that the external appearance of the pack 406 has a different design for each rank. An example of the pack appearance by rank will be described later with reference to another drawing.

  When the OK button 407 shown in FIG. 4 is pressed by a user operation, the acquisition preparation unit 116 controls the UI control unit 113 and the animation generation unit 114 to control a game screen including a slot in which a pack is placed (described later). 5 and 6) are generated.

  The game screen shown in FIG. 5 is an opening preparation screen 500 for making a transition to a state where the pack can be opened. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the first condition is not satisfied, that is, a pack that cannot be opened is placed in the slot.

  The opening preparation screen 500 includes a slot list 501 for listing the states of one or more slots held by the user. In the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the user is provided with three slots 502 to 504 as an initial state. In the present embodiment, the slots have an order, and the slot 503 and the slot 504 are set and displayed so that the leftmost slot 502 is the head and the order is backward as going to the right. Yes.

  A slot 502 shown in FIG. 5 shows a state in which the pack 406 shown in FIG. When the pack 406 is given, the acquisition preparation unit 116 automatically arranges the pack 406 in the first slot in the vacant slot (slot 502 in the example shown in FIG. 5). . Then, the pack 406 is made to wait in the slot 502 until the pack 406 changes to a state where it can be opened. In the present embodiment, the acquisition preparation unit 116 may be in a state where points can be accumulated by placing the pack in the slot.

  In the present embodiment, in addition to the slot, a requirement that the pack can accumulate points may be set. Specifically, the main body for accumulating points, in other words, a game medium that allows points to be added may be provided to the user. As an example, the game medium is digital content that looks like a scout man scouting a baseball player. In this embodiment, as an example, the acquisition preparation unit 116 assigns one scout man per slot. In the present embodiment, by placing a pack in a slot to which a scout man is assigned, points can be accumulated for the pack. In other words, the two requirements of the pack being placed in the slot and the scout man being assigned to the slot are satisfied, and the change from the non-changeable state (non-addable state) to the changeable state ( It shifts to the (addable state). In another embodiment, the pack may transition from a non-changeable state to a changeable state simply by meeting the slot requirements. Alternatively, the pack may transition from a non-changeable state to a changeable state simply by satisfying the requirements of the scout man.

  The changeable state means a state in which the state of the pack can be changed to satisfy the first condition for opening. Specifically, it means an addable state in which points can be accumulated so that the accumulated points reach the first condition. On the other hand, the unchangeable state means a state in which the state of the pack cannot be changed. Specifically, it means a state in which points cannot be accumulated, that is, a non-addable state in which points are not added to the total number of points associated with the pack even if points are acquired after the battle.

  When points are awarded as rewards, the acquisition preparation unit 116 adds the given points to the accumulated points associated with the packs arranged in the slots to which the scout man is assigned. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 3, 218 points were awarded. In the example shown in FIG. 5, it is the slot 502 where the scout man 505 is assigned and the pack is arranged. Therefore, the acquisition preparation unit 116 adds the assigned 218 points to the accumulated points associated with the pack 406 arranged in the slot 502. The opening preparation screen 500 may include a gauge 506. The gauge 506 calculates, as a first condition, a target point (“800sp” in the illustrated example) that can be opened and a cumulative total of currently accumulated points (“218sp” in the illustrated example). May be included. Thereby, the user can know how many points can be accumulated to open the pack 406.

  The game screen shown in FIG. 6 is an opening preparation screen 500 for making a transition to a state where the pack can be opened. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the first condition is satisfied, that is, an openable pack is arranged in the slot.

  The acquisition preparation unit 116 may generate an opening preparation screen 500 shown in FIG. 6 in order to present to the user that the accumulated point of the pack 406 has reached the first condition. In accordance with the instruction from the acquisition preparation unit 116, the UI control unit 113 generates various UI components that constitute the opening preparation screen 500.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 6, the gauge 506 indicates that, as a result of adding points to the pack 406, the accumulated points have reached the first condition “800sp”. After this screen is displayed, the acquisition execution unit 117 can execute a process of opening the pack 406.

  In this embodiment, when a slot to which a scout man is assigned is vacant, there is a slot to which no scout man is assigned behind the empty slot, and a pack is placed in the slot. It is assumed that Since there is no scout man, the pack is in a state where points are not accumulated and is simply placed in a slot and waiting. In such a case, the acquisition preparation unit 116 places the pack in the empty slot to which the scout man has been assigned. As a result, the pack transitions to a state where points can be accumulated.

  The game screen shown in FIG. 7 is an opening effect screen 600 for effecting opening of the pack. As shown in FIG. 6, when the gauge 506 of the pack 406 becomes full, the acquisition execution unit 117 transmits a pack opening request to the server 200. At this time, the acquisition execution unit 117 may generate the opening effect screen 600 that produces a scene in which the pack is opened and the card is taken out from the pack. In accordance with the instruction from the acquisition execution unit 117, the animation generation unit 114 generates an animation for producing the above-described scene. As a result, the user recognizes that the pack he / she owns will be opened and the card in the pack will be acquired, and expects until the card is determined. I can wait with a feeling.

  The game screen shown in FIG. 8 is an unsealing result screen 700 presenting the unpacking result of the pack. The acquisition execution unit 117 receives, as a response to the pack opening request, a notification about a card to be acquired by the user based on the opened pack from the card providing unit 214 of the server 200. At this time, the acquisition execution unit 117 may generate an opening result screen 700 shown in FIG. 8 in order to notify the user of the acquired card. For example, the opening result screen 700 includes character cards 701 to 703 acquired in exchange for the opened pack. Each card includes, for example, a character image, a character name, a character team name, and information indicating the rarity of the card. When the user selects one of the cards by, for example, a tap operation, detailed information may be displayed for the character of the selected card. For example, various parameters related to the ability of the character may be displayed. In accordance with an instruction from the acquisition execution unit 117, the UI control unit 113 generates a UI component for presenting the above-described various types of information to the user.

  As described above, the user can be provided with a UI that allows the user to easily operate the slot for operating the pack via the various game screens shown in FIGS. With this UI, the user can fully understand the mechanism that it is easy to obtain a card with a high degree of rarity, and can have a strong motivation and engage in battle play. The UI realizes a mechanism that satisfies the user's desire to obtain a character card for advancing the game more advantageously. Thereby, the user can acquire many cards, and can enjoy playing while advancing a game advantageously. With the UI, the user can simply acquire a card by operating the pack without having to perform troublesome procedures, work, or operations simply by playing the game. Thereby, the user can enjoy playing while advantageously proceeding with the game. According to the present embodiment, as a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game and enhance the motivation for playing the user's game.

<About the rank of the pack>
In the present embodiment, ranks may be set for the packs as expected values representing the possibility that a game medium that is highly valuable in favor of a game, that is, a rarity can be acquired. Specifically, the expected value is a probability that a good card is allocated in the above-described lottery. A good card is a card that has a high value in favor of proceeding with a match, and refers to a card of a character with high ability in the match.

  In the present embodiment, the value of the card is represented by the following rarity. As an example, there are four types of S, A, B, and C in descending order of rarity. In the lottery, the higher the rarity, the lower the probability of winning. In the following, in particular, when the term “expected value” is used, it means the probability that a card having the highest rank “S” is set as a card having a high value in favor of proceeding with the match.

  In this embodiment, as an example, four types of ranks may be set in the pack. Specifically, one of four ranks of black, gold, silver, and normal is given to the pack. In the present embodiment, the expected value varies depending on the rank of the pack. In other words, the probabilities that cards of rarity S can be assigned from the pack are different.

  It is preferable that the expected value is set so that the higher the rank, the higher the winning probability of a card with a rarity S. As an example, the expected value of each pack may be 5% for black, 2% for gold, 0.1% for silver, and 0% for normal in descending order of rank. In addition, the lottery probability of the rarity A or less in each pack may be appropriately set according to the rank.

  In the present embodiment, the appearance of the pack may be differentiated by rank so that the expected value of the pack can be seen before the pack is opened. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a specific example of the appearance of a pack designed by rank. When the pack is presented on the display unit 152 of the user terminal 100, it is preferable that the size, the color, the shape, the decoration, the design of the character, etc. are different for each rank so that the user can identify. . Thereby, the user can guess the probability that the card of rarity S can be acquired by opening the pack which he owns before opening. Thereby, it becomes possible to open a pack strategically and to improve the interest property of a game.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, a special black pack may be provided for the black pack with the highest rank. Special black packs are, for example, a limited time black pack 902 and a character limited black pack 903.

  The limited-time black pack 902 is a black pack in which a special card that can be won only when the black pack is opened during a predetermined validity period is set among the cards of the rarity S. When the limited-time black pack 902 is opened outside the above-described effective period, the server 200 executes a normal lottery on the assumption that the normal black pack 901 has been opened.

  The character-limited black pack 903 is a black pack in which a special character card may be won, which is not won from the normal black pack 901 given as a reward for the battle. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the character-limited black pack 903 can be obtained from a box purchased by the user.

<Mechanism of unpacking the box-overview>
An example of a mechanism for unpacking the box in the game system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. Before that, in the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, a method for a user to acquire a card will be described. There are two methods.

  The first method is as already described. That is, the user first plays a battle and obtains a pack 910 (first right) as a reward. Then, the user continues to play this game so as to satisfy the first condition. Specifically, the user accumulates points given as a reward for a battle after placing the pack 910 in a slot to which a scout man is assigned. When the point reaches the first condition, the pack 910 is opened, and a card 911 associated with the pack 910 is given to the user. In the present embodiment, as an example, three cards 911 are acquired from one pack 910.

  The second method is to purchase box 912. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the mechanism of the second method of purchasing a box and acquiring a card. First, the user plays this game so as to satisfy the third condition. For example, 10 battles are played. When the user's play satisfies the third condition, a ticket 913 (second right) is given to the user as a right to acquire the card packed in the box.

  Subsequently, the user plays this game so as to satisfy the second condition. Specifically, the user performs a purchase operation for purchasing the box 912 in exchange for the ticket 913 and the predetermined amount of valuable medium 914. Thus, when the second condition is satisfied, the box 912 is unpacked and the ranks of the plurality of packs 910 linked to the box 912 are determined. Then, each pack 910 is opened based on the determined rank, and a card 911 associated with the pack 910 is acquired by the user. In the present embodiment, as an example, it is assumed that five packs 910 are acquired from one box 912. That is, a total of 15 cards 911 of 5 × 3 are obtained from one box 912.

  Furthermore, if the second condition is met and the box 912 is purchased, the five packs 910 in the box 912 are already ready to be opened without waiting for the first condition described above to be met. is there. For example, five packs 910 are opened immediately when their ranks are determined.

  That is, the user receives a box 912 that packs 15 cards in exchange for a ticket 913 and a predetermined amount of valuable medium 914, and a service 915 that immediately acquires the cards (opens 5 packs immediately). it can.

  According to the second method, a ticket 913 (second right) that allows a player to acquire a larger number of cards together than a single pack 910 (first right) by playing a certain number of matches. Is granted. To consume the ticket 913, that is, to exercise the second right, the valuable medium 914 is required. Therefore, the user's purchase operation for permitting consumption of the valuable medium 914 is provided as a second condition for exercising the second right. Thus, unlike the first right, the exercise of the second right is left to the user's judgment and is not compulsory.

  Further, according to the second method, in addition to providing the box 912, more packs can be opened without waiting for the first condition to be satisfied than obtained with the first method. A service 915 that is provided in a state can be received.

  Below, the structure of the game system 1 for implement | achieving this mechanism and the flow of a process are demonstrated in detail.

<Mechanism of unpacking the box-details>
(data structure)
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure of management data. The management data is data for managing tickets held by the user. The management data is stored as game information 132 in the storage unit 120 of the user terminal 100, for example. The management data held by each user terminal 100 may be fed back to the server 200 and stored in the storage unit 220 of the server 200. In this case, user identification information is associated with the management data, and the management data is managed for each user in the server 200.

  In the present embodiment, the ticket is given when the user's play in the main game satisfies the third condition. For example, one ticket is given to the user every time ten matches are played. Further, in the present embodiment, an expiration date may be set for the ticket. In the present embodiment, the number of tickets that the user can hold may be limited. For example, it is assumed that one user can hold up to 10 tickets with valid expiration dates at a time.

  The management data includes, as an example, items of “retention frame ID”, “remaining days”, and “expiration date”. “Holding frame ID” is identification information for uniquely identifying a ticket held by a user. In this embodiment, since up to 10 tickets can be held, 10 “reserved frame IDs” are provided. The “remaining days” is information indicating how many days remaining the ticket can be used. “Expiration date” is information indicating the expiration date set in the ticket.

  The battle progress unit 115 issues a ticket as a reward for the battle every 10 play times of the battle and causes the user to hold it. More specifically, the expiration date determined based on the ticket issuance date is stored in association with the vacant holding frame ID of the management data, and the remaining number of days obtained from the current date is stored.

  When there is no empty record in the management data, the battle progress unit 115 may discard the issued ticket as it is. Alternatively, the battle progress unit 115 may create a free record by discarding the ticket with the oldest issue date, that is, the ticket with the earliest expiration date in the management data. Then, the latest ticket just issued is stored in an empty record.

  The battle progress unit 115 discards the ticket whose usage period has passed. Specifically, each piece of ticket information is deleted from the record. The battle progress unit 115 consumes one ticket from the management data when the user performs a box purchase operation. Specifically, each piece of information on the ticket with the earliest use time limit is deleted from the record.

(Screen example)
The game screen shown in FIG. 12 is a ticket acquisition screen 800 (third screen) for notifying the user that a ticket has been acquired. When the user's play satisfies the third condition, the battle progress unit 115 controls the UI control unit 113 and the animation generation unit 114 to generate the ticket acquisition screen 800. The ticket acquisition screen 800 may include an illustrated ticket 801 or may include guidance 802 regarding how to use the ticket 801.

  The ticket acquisition screen 800 may be displayed after the pack acquisition screen 400 shown in FIG. 4, for example, when the third condition is satisfied when the battle ends. As a result, the user can recognize that the ticket has been acquired.

  The game screen shown in FIG. 13 is a matching request screen 810 (fourth screen) for the user to perform an operation for requesting matching of the opponent to the server 200. The matching request screen 810 includes a battle instruction button 811 as a UI for requesting the server 200 for matching. For example, when the user taps the battle instruction button 811, the operation reception unit 111 receives the tap operation. The battle progress unit 115 requests matching to the server 200 in response to the tap operation on the battle instruction button 811 being accepted.

  In the present embodiment, the matching request screen 810 is provided with a UI that leads to a box purchase screen (described later with reference to FIG. 14) that accepts a purchase operation for purchasing a box. The UI is, for example, a box icon 812.

  The user who operates the matching request screen 810 is likely to have an intention to play a match, and it is considered that the desire to leave a good result in the match is the highest. In other words, it seems that the desire to reinforce good cards and strengthen the team is the highest. At this point, it is possible to promote the purchase of the user's box most effectively by presenting the UI for guiding to the box purchase screen to the user.

  The game screen shown in FIG. 14 is a box purchase screen 820 (third screen, fifth screen) for a user to perform a purchase operation for purchasing a box. The box purchase screen 820 is displayed on the display unit 152 when, for example, the box icon 812 on the matching request screen 810 is operated.

  The box purchase screen 820 includes a purchase instruction button 821. The purchase instruction button 821 is a UI for allowing the user terminal 100 to allow the user terminal 100 to consume valuable media as consideration for unpacking the box and acquiring a card, and instructing the purchase.

  The box purchase screen 820 may include a holding amount 822 as a UI indicating the quantity of valuable media currently held by the user. Since the user can consider purchasing the box while confirming the current possession, the convenience of the user is increased as a result.

  The box purchase screen 820 may further include a cancel button 823 for canceling the purchase and returning to the matching request screen 810. The box purchase screen 820 may include an illustrated box 824. The box 824 may be an icon that provides detailed information about a product to be purchased (ie, a box).

  The game screen shown in FIG. 15 is an unpacking effect screen 830. When the purchase instruction button 821 on the box purchase screen 820 is operated, the acquisition execution unit 117 transmits a box unpacking request to the server 200. At this time, the acquisition execution unit 117 may generate an unpacking effect screen 830 that produces a scene for unpacking the box. Similarly to the opening effect screen 600, under the control of the acquisition execution unit 117, a UI part is generated by the UI control unit 113, and an animation is generated by the animation generation unit 114. Thereby, the user can have a sense of expectation until the purchased box is unpacked and it becomes clear what kind of pack is contained.

  The game screen shown in FIG. 16 is an unpacking result screen 840 (first screen) that presents the unpacking result of the box. When the server 200 determines the rank of each pack in the box, the server 200 notifies the user terminal 100 of the determined rank of each of the five packs as a progress of unpacking as a response to the box unpacking request. The acquisition execution unit 117 generates an unpacking result screen 840 for presenting the ranks of the five packs packed in the box to the user according to the notified progress of unpacking. As shown in FIG. 16, the rank of the five packs may be presented by showing the appearance of the pack. According to the unpacking result screen 840 shown in FIG. 16, two black packs and three gold packs were packed in the box, and one of the two black packs is a character. It can be seen that this is a limited black pack 903.

  The acquisition execution unit 117 may display a scene where five packs are opened on the display unit 152 after displaying the unpacking result screen 840. Specifically, the acquisition execution unit 117 controls the UI control unit 113, the animation generation unit 114, and the display control unit 112 to open the opening effect screen 600 shown in FIG. 7 and the opening shown in FIG. A result screen 700 is displayed. Then, the above process is repeated for 5 packs.

  For example, after the above process is repeated for five packs, the acquisition execution unit 117 may display a final result screen on the display unit 152 that presents all cards acquired as a result of unpacking the box. . The game screen shown in FIG. 17 is a final result screen 850 that displays a list of opening results of all the packs packed in the box. The final result screen 850 includes an acquired card list 851 that displays a list of all cards acquired by opening the box. Thereby, the user can list and confirm all the acquired cards, and as a result, the convenience for the user is improved.

(Processing flow)
FIG. 18 and FIG. 19 are flowcharts showing the flow of processing executed by each device included in the game system 1 based on the game program 131. FIG. 18 mainly shows a processing flow of each device when a card is acquired based on the first method. FIG. 19 mainly shows a processing flow of each device when a card is acquired based on the second method. The series of processing shown in the flowchart is started when the operation receiving unit 111 receives a user operation for instructing display of the matching request screen 810 shown in FIG. 13, for example.

  In step S <b> 101, the battle progress unit 115 displays a matching request screen 810 on the display unit 152 via the display control unit 112. In step S102, when the operation reception unit 111 receives a user operation on the battle instruction button 811, the battle progress unit 115 proceeds to step S103. On the other hand, when the battle instruction button 811 is not operated, the operation reception unit 111 may receive another operation of the user after step S115.

  In step S103, the battle progress unit 115 communicates with the server 200 and requests to match the opponent. In step S104, the battle support unit 211 of the server 200 supports the battle. Specifically, the battle support unit 211 performs matching of opponents, and after matching is established, performs the synchronization control of the battles between the user terminals 100 participating in the battle. When the matching is established, the battle progress unit 115 of the user terminal 100 continues to communicate with the server 200 to advance the battle with the above-described opponent.

  When the battle is ended in step S105, the battle progress unit 115 proceeds from YES in step S105 to step S106.

  In step S106, the battle progress unit 115 gives a reward according to the battle results. For example, the battle progress unit 115 gives points calculated according to the battle results to the user, and displays the reward acquisition screen 300 shown in FIG. 3 on the display unit 152. Or the battle | competition progress part 115 gives a pack of the rank according to a battle | competition result to a user, and displays the pack acquisition screen 400 shown in FIG. Alternatively, the battle progress unit 115 gives a ticket to the user and displays the ticket acquisition screen 800 shown in FIG. Note that the server 200 may execute the process of granting a reward in step S106.

  In step S107, the acquisition preparation unit 116 performs a preparation process for opening the pack given as a reward. More specifically, the assigned points are added to the pack arranged in the slot to which the scout man is assigned, or the newly acquired pack is arranged in the empty slot. The acquisition preparation unit 116 may display the opening preparation screen 500 shown in FIG. 5 or 6 on the display unit 152 while executing the above-described preparation process.

  In step S108, when the user's play satisfies the first condition, specifically, when the points accumulated in the pack reach the target quantity, the acquisition executing unit 117 starts from YES in step S108. The process proceeds to step S109.

  In step S109, the acquisition executing unit 117 requests the server 200 to consume the pack whose points are full and open the pack. This pack opening request includes information specifying the rank of the pack.

  In step S110, card providing unit 214 of server 200 executes a pack opening process. Specifically, the card providing unit 214 performs lottery according to the winning probability table corresponding to the designated rank. During this time, the acquisition execution unit 117 of the user terminal 100 may display the opening effect screen 600 shown in FIG.

  In step S112, the card providing unit 214 notifies the user terminal 100 of the winning card as a result of the lottery as a response to the above-described pack opening request. For example, the identification information of the three winning cards is transmitted to the user terminal 100.

  In step S113, the acquisition execution unit 117 of the user terminal 100 causes the user to acquire the notified card. Specifically, the notified three cards are changed to a usable state and stored in the storage unit 120.

  In step S114, the acquisition execution unit 117 may display the unsealing result screen 700 shown in FIG. 8 on the display unit 152, and present the user with what the acquired card is. Thereafter, the operation receiving unit 111 may receive another operation of the user after step S115. Alternatively, in step S108, when the first condition is not satisfied, the processes in steps S109 to S114 are omitted, and the process proceeds to step S115.

  In step S115, when the user's play satisfies the second condition, the battle progress unit 115 proceeds from YES in step S115 to step S116. The second condition is that a purchase operation is performed by the user. For example, the purchase operation indicates a touch operation on the box icon 812 on the matching request screen 810 illustrated in FIG. 13 and a touch operation on the purchase instruction button 821 on the box purchase screen 820 illustrated in FIG. In this case, before step S115 for accepting the purchase operation, the battle progress unit 115 executes a step of displaying the box purchase screen 820 (step of displaying the third screen).

  When the purchase operation is accepted through the operation accepting unit 111, in step S116, the battle progress unit 115 refers to the management data shown in FIG. 11 and determines whether or not the user has an available ticket. judge.

  If a valid ticket is held, the acquisition executing unit 117 proceeds from YES in step S116 to step S117. In step S117, the acquisition execution unit 117 consumes one valid ticket and transmits a box unpacking request to the server 200.

  In step S118, charging processing unit 212 of server 200 may perform charging processing. Specifically, the billing amount when billing the user for the purchase is charged in the storage unit 220 in association with the user. If the user has just purchased and owned valuable media, the billing process in step S118 may be omitted.

  In step S119, the box processing unit 213 executes box unpacking processing. Specifically, the ranks of five packs associated with the box are determined. During this time, in step S120, the acquisition execution unit 117 of the user terminal 100 may display the unpacking effect screen 830 shown in FIG.

  In step S121, the box processing unit 213 of the server 200 notifies the user terminal 100 of the ranks of the five packs associated with the box as an unpacking result.

  In step S122, the acquisition execution unit 117 of the user terminal 100 may display the unpacking result screen 840 illustrated in FIG. 16 on the display unit 152 based on the notified ranks of the five packs.

  In step S123, the card providing unit 214 of the server 200 opens each pack determined by the box processing unit 213 based on the determined rank.

  In step S124, the card providing unit 214 notifies the user terminal 100 of the card opened from the five packs as a response to the box unpacking request. The process of step S124 is substantially the same as the process of step S112, except that the number of cards to be provided increases from 3 to 15.

  In step S125, the acquisition execution unit 117 of the user terminal 100 executes processing for acquiring the provided card. The process of step S125 is substantially the same as the process of step S113, except that the number of cards to be provided increases from 3 to 15.

  During this time, in step S126, the acquisition execution unit 117 of the user terminal 100 repeatedly displays the opening effect screen 600 (second screen) shown in FIG. 7 and the opening result screen 700 shown in FIG. 8 for each pack. Also good.

  In step S127, the acquisition execution unit 117 may display the final result screen 850 shown in FIG. 17 on the display unit 152 as the final result of the box unpacking process. After the final result screen 850 is displayed, for example, when the operation reception unit 111 receives a user operation on the OK button 852, the battle progress unit 115 may return to step S101 and display the matching request screen 810. .

  Note that the step number is not intended to limit the order of processing executed by each device included in the game system 1. That is, a series of processes in which a pack is given to the user in step S106, the pack is opened in a state that can be opened in step S107, and the card is acquired in step S113 when the pack is used. Any of the following series of processes may be executed prior to any of the above. That is, a series of processes of giving a ticket to the user in step S106, accepting a purchase operation for consuming the ticket and purchasing a box in step S115, and causing the user to acquire more cards in step S125. Either of these may be executed in advance.

<Effect>
According to the configuration and method described above, it is possible to provide the user with various options regarding the card acquisition method. Specifically, in addition to the first method, the user can select a second method that is able to collect more cards in a shorter time than the first method, although it is paid. Become. As a result, the game media (card) acquisition method can be diversified to improve the convenience for the user.

  Also, for users who want to win a large number of cards at once, the ticket is an incentive and motivates them to play a certain number of matches. As a result, in the entire game system 1, the battle play is actively performed by each user, and the community constructed in the game system 1 can be activated.

  Furthermore, in the first method, the rank of the pack is presented to the user by the appearance of the pack. Therefore, the user can estimate to some extent before opening the expected value that the card of the rarity S that the user strongly desires to acquire is acquired.

  On the other hand, in the second method, the contents of the box, that is, the rank of each of the five packs is not determined until the package is unpacked. Therefore, the user cannot guess the expected value of each pack before unpacking the box. Therefore, at the time of unpacking the box, it is possible to make the user have excitement, a sense of expectation, a sense of tension, and the interest of the game can be further improved.

  Furthermore, in the second method, by setting a special pack that can be obtained only from the box, the user's willingness to purchase the box can be further enhanced. Thus, the user is more motivated to play a certain number of matches. As a result, the battle play is more actively performed by each user in the entire game system 1 as a result.

[Modification]
In another embodiment, a pack awarded as a reward for a battle based on the first method may be opened by billing without waiting for points to meet the first condition. Here, the consideration required to open one pack immediately (second consideration; for example, the charge amount or the quantity of valuable media) is the consideration per pack based on the purchase price of the box (first consideration) ) Is preferably set higher. In other words, it's cheaper to buy a box and unpack five packs and get 15 cards than to receive 5 cards and get 15 cards immediately. In other words, it is preferable that the fee is set so that the unit price of the card is reduced. As an example, the price required to unpack one box, that is, to unpack five packs at a time is “150 valuable media”, whereas it is necessary to unpack one pack. The consideration may be set as “40 valuable media”.

  Thereby, the user can find monetary significance with respect to acquiring a card collectively. As a result, it is possible to increase the user's willingness to purchase the box.

  In another embodiment, the user may clearly indicate that the ranks of the packs associated with the box are guaranteed to be above a certain level. For example, five packs packed in a box may clearly indicate to the user that gold or more is confirmed.

  Alternatively, in another embodiment, the box may clearly indicate to the user that the highest rank pack is guaranteed to be tied a predetermined number or more. For example, among the five packs packed in the box, at least two may be clearly indicated to the user as black packs.

  In yet another embodiment, the packs in the box may be clearly indicated to the user that they are above a certain rank and at least a predetermined number is guaranteed to be the highest rank pack.

  In yet another embodiment, the box may include a special pack that may win a special character card that is not won from the regular black pack 901 awarded as a reward for the match. May be explicit to the user. The special pack is, for example, the character-limited black pack 903 described above.

  Specifically, the battle progress unit 115 may also display information related to the box when displaying the ticket acquisition screen 800 (FIG. 12) in step S106. Or the battle | competition progress part 115 may display the information relevant to a box collectively, when displaying the box purchase screen 820 (FIG. 14) in the step displayed before step S115.

  In another embodiment described above, as an example, a character string such as “all pack gold or more confirmed”, “black 2 pack or more confirmed”, “gold or more 3 packs, black 2 pack confirmed”, or the like is used. , May be added to the illustration in box 824. Alternatively, a character string such as “box-limited black pack appearance” may be added to the ticket 801 or the illustration of the box 824.

  According to each of the above-described embodiments, the user understands the advantage that a good card is easily acquired or that there is a card that can be obtained only in the box, for acquiring a card by purchasing a box. be able to. As a result, it is possible to increase the user's willingness to purchase the box.

[Example of software implementation]
Control blocks of the control unit 210 (particularly the battle support unit 211, billing processing unit 212, box processing unit 213, and card providing unit 214), and control blocks of the control unit 110 (particularly, the operation receiving unit 111, display control) Unit 112, UI control unit 113, animation generation unit 114, battle progress unit 115, acquisition preparation unit 116, and acquisition execution unit 117) are performed by a logic circuit (hardware) formed in an integrated circuit (IC chip) or the like. It may be realized or may be realized by software using a CPU (Central Processing Unit).

  In the latter case, an information processing apparatus provided with the control unit 210 and / or the control unit 110 includes a CPU that executes instructions of a program that is software for realizing each function, and the program and various data are computers (or CPUs). ROM (Read Only Memory) or storage device (referred to as “recording medium”) recorded in such a manner as to be readable, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) for expanding the program. And the objective of this invention is achieved when a computer (or CPU) reads the said program from the said recording medium and runs it. As the recording medium, a “non-temporary tangible medium” such as a tape, a disk, a card, a semiconductor memory, a programmable logic circuit, or the like can be used. The program may be supplied to the computer via an arbitrary transmission medium (such as a communication network or a broadcast wave) that can transmit the program. Note that one embodiment of the present invention can also be realized in the form of a data signal embedded in a carrier wave, in which the program is embodied by electronic transmission.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope shown in the claims, and embodiments obtained by appropriately combining technical means disclosed in different embodiments. Is also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

[Additional Notes]
The contents according to one aspect of the present invention are listed as follows.

  (Item 1) The game program (131) has been described. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the game program is executed by a computer (user terminal 100) including a processor (10), a memory (11), an operation unit (such as the input unit 151) and a display unit (152). The game program causes the processor to hold a first right (pack), which is digital content used to acquire one or more game media (cards) that can be used in a game based on the game program ( S106), the step of making the first right usable (opened) when the user satisfies the first condition by playing the game (S107), and the first right is used by the user In this case, a step of causing the user to acquire one or more game media determined based on the first right (S113), and a second right that allows acquisition of a larger number of game media than the first right ( Ticket) is held by the user (S106) and the user's operation to satisfy the second condition for enabling the second right The step of accepting a purchase operation) and (S115), based on the operation is accepted to execute the steps (S125) to acquire the large number of game media to the user.

  According to the above-described game program, a larger number of games than the first right are based on the fact that an operation satisfying the second condition is accepted, that is, without waiting for the first condition to be satisfied. The medium can be acquired by the user. Thereby, the choice of the play for acquiring a game media increases. For example, the user can acquire a game medium by playing a game so as to satisfy the first condition so that the first right can be exercised. Further, the user can acquire the game media by exercising the second right at an arbitrary timing, or can acquire a large number of game media collectively. As described above, the game media acquisition method can be diversified, and the convenience for the user can be improved.

  (Item 2) In (Item 1), in the accepting step, a purchase operation that permits consumption of the second right and payment of the first consideration is accepted as an operation that satisfies the second condition, A step (S122) of displaying on the display unit a first screen (unpacking result screen 840) for producing a plurality of first rights when a purchase operation is accepted by the processor; A step (S126) of displaying on the display unit a second screen (opening effect screen 600) that produces that each of the first rights is used without waiting for the first condition to be satisfied is executed. In the step of acquiring a large number of game media, the user may be allowed to acquire game media determined based on a plurality of first rights.

  Thereby, since the user can recognize the value obtained by paying the value and the value of the user, the user's satisfaction with the service used by charging can be increased. Furthermore, the user can see what kind of game media will be acquired while looking at the screen that directs the process from the purchase of the plurality of first rights until the game media are acquired. Alternatively, since the player can wait with a sense of tension, it is possible to improve the fun of the game.

  (Item 3) In (Item 2), a rarity level indicating a high value in the game is set for the game medium, and a rank is set for the first right. Whether or not to allow the user to acquire a game medium in which is set may be determined based on the rank set in the first right used.

  Thereby, acquiring the first right with a high rank, and thus acquiring a game medium with a high degree of rarity is an incentive, and the motivation of the user for playing the game is strengthened.

  (Item 4) In (Item 3), the game media to be acquired by the user based on the first right is determined by lottery based on the rank set for the first right. It is preferable that the higher the rank of the right, the higher the probability that a game medium with a high degree of rarity will be won. Thereby, the game property in the play process which acquires a card | curd can be improved.

  (Item 5) In (Item 4), what is exchanged for the second right is a packaging medium (box) including a plurality of first rights, and each of the first rights included in the packaging medium. These ranks may be determined by lottery. Thereby, the game property in the play process which acquires a card | curd can be improved further.

  (Item 6) In (Item 5), the game program causes the processor to display a third screen (ticket acquisition screen 800, box purchase screen 820) including information related to the packing medium to be purchased on the display unit ( It is preferable to execute S106 or the display step before S115. Thereby, a user's willingness to purchase a packing medium can be heightened.

  (Item 7) In (Item 6), in the step of displaying the third screen, it may be clearly stated that each rank of the first right included in the packing medium is determined to be a certain level or more. preferable. Thus, acquiring the first right with a higher rank, and thus acquiring a game medium with a high degree of rarity, is an incentive, and the user's willingness to purchase the packing medium can be further enhanced.

  (Item 8) In (Item 6) or (Item 7), in the step of displaying the third screen, the packing medium may include a predetermined number or more of the first right set with a predetermined rank or higher. It is preferable to clearly indicate that it has been confirmed. Thus, acquiring the first right with a higher rank, and thus acquiring a game medium with a high degree of rarity, is an incentive, and the user's willingness to purchase the packing medium can be further enhanced.

  (Item 9) In any one item from (Item 6) to (Item 8), in the step of displaying the third screen, only the first right (character limited black pack 903) included in the packing medium is won. It may be clearly stated that there is a game medium that may be played. Thereby, acquiring a limited game medium becomes an incentive, and a user's willingness to purchase a packing medium can further be heightened.

  (Item 10) In any one item from (Item 2) to (Item 9), the first right held by the user is obtained by paying a second consideration by the user. Preferably, the game media can be used without waiting for the condition to be satisfied, and the unit price of the game media based on the second price is higher than the unit price of the game media based on the first price.
