Communication by the communication unit 28 may be wired or wireless.

  The client 104 can be a communication terminal including, for example, a personal computer, a tablet terminal, a smartphone terminal, a mobile phone, and the like.

  In the baseball game in the present embodiment, characters belonging to each player are trained in accordance with the state of play by the player in the client 104. That is, processing is performed in which the data (parameters) of characters belonging to each player is changed according to the state of play by the player in the client 104.

  In the present embodiment, a part of the player's play may be automatically processed by the computer (server 102). In other words, the server 102 may automatically perform processing by the player described below for some of the plurality of players participating in the electronic game in the present embodiment.

  Data (parameters) related to each character in the electronic game is registered in the character database. FIG. 4 shows a registration example of the character database. In the character database, parameters relating to characters on the game belonging to each of the plurality of players are stored in association with player IDs (player identification information) uniquely assigned to the respective players. Thereby, the memory | storage part 12 functions as a character database memory | storage means.

  When the electronic game is a baseball game, positions (character categories), batting parameters (meet power, long hitting power), running ability, defensive ability, and the like are registered in the character database as character parameters. When the position is a pitcher, parameters relating to pitching (ball control power, ball power, change power) are further added. Based on these parameters, a game progress process is performed.

  Furthermore, in the character database, items such as items on the game for correcting the ability of the character and items such as skills may be additionally registered. Items and skills may be purchased by points (coins, etc.) that can be acquired on the game, or acquired by events on the game. Depending on the items and skills assigned to each character, the specific parameter of the character may be corrected and processed. This can increase the motivation to acquire items and skills in the game.

  It should be noted that the character on the electronic game may be acquired according to a predetermined standard. For example, the character may be acquired by points (coins or the like) on the electronic game, or the character may be acquired in accordance with play such as gacha in the electronic game. Moreover, you may enable it to exchange (trade) a character between players.

  In the electronic game according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a representative battle stage with representative characters selected from a plurality of player characters is performed simultaneously with a regular battle stage in which players are trained and battles between players are performed. . The regular battle stage is repeated a plurality of times (for example, seven times) during a predetermined time (for example, one day). The representative battle stage is performed, for example, after repeating a regular battle stage a plurality of times (for example, three times).

  Hereinafter, the process in the regular battle stage will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the regular battle stage, each player has a training process for improving the abilities (parameters) of the characters belonging to the player, and a team composed of the characters belonging to the player competes with a team composed of the characters belonging to other players. A player-to-player battle process is performed.

  Although the electronic game is played simultaneously by a plurality of players, in the following description, an example in which the player A is playing the game using the client 104a will be described as processing to be performed on each player. The processing for other players may be performed in the same manner.

  In step S10, character breeding processing is performed. In the training process, a process for improving data (parameters) of characters belonging to the player is performed by each player. By the processing in this step, the information processing system 100 functions as a parameter changing unit. The client 104a accesses the server 102, refers to the character database stored in the storage unit 12, and reads the parameter of the character associated with the player ID of the player A. Then, using the input unit 24 of the client 104, one of the characters read out by the player A is selected as a character to be nurtured. Subsequently, the client 104a performs a process of updating (improving) the parameters of the character selected as the breeding target according to the operation of the player A.

  Here, the process of updating the character parameters is not particularly limited. For example, the process of causing the player A to play some electronic game on the client 104a and changing the character parameters according to the result of the play. Is preferable. When the parameter of the character is changed by the result of the electronic game provided in the client 104a, the parameter name and the changed parameter value are associated with the character ID of the character to be trained from the client 104a to the server 102. Send. When the server 102 receives the parameter name and the parameter value together with the character ID, the server 102 updates the parameter name registered in relation to the character ID in the character database with the changed parameter value and stores it in the storage unit 12.

  Here, in the process of step S10, only one character may be targeted for training in a single regular battle stage, or a plurality of characters may be targeted for training. When targeting a plurality of characters, the above process may be repeated a plurality of times.

  In step S12, a player battle process in the regular battle stage is performed. In the player-to-player battle process, a battle is performed between a plurality of players playing electronic games via a plurality of clients 104 connected to the server 102. By the processing in this step, the information processing system 100 functions as an inter-player battle processing means. For example, the server 102 selects two players from the players participating in the electronic game, and performs a battle process between the players using the parameters of the characters belonging to the selected player. In addition, the server 102 may select a plurality of players from the players participating in the electronic game, and perform a battle process between the players as a league game between the selected players.

  For example, when the electronic game is a baseball game, a battle process is performed as a game between teams composed of characters belonging to each player participating in the electronic game.

  The selection of a player as an opponent may be performed automatically by the server 102 or may be selected by a player participating in an electronic game. When the server 102 automatically selects, for example, by referring to the character database, the total value of the parameters of the character associated with the player ID is calculated for each player participating in the electronic game, and the total value What is necessary is just to perform processing such as selecting two players at random from a group of players whose difference is within a predetermined range. However, the player selection process is not limited to this.

  When a player who becomes an opponent is selected, the server 102 refers to the character database, reads the parameter of the character associated with the player ID of the player, and performs a battle process using the read parameter. . The battle process is not particularly limited as long as it is a process for determining victory or defeat between the players based on the parameter values of the characters belonging to each of the selected players.

  For example, a predetermined win / loss function is determined in advance, the parameter values of all the characters belonging to each of the two players who are opponents are read, and the win / loss between the players is determined using the parameter value as an argument of the win / loss function. What should I do? In addition, the team order is determined according to the positions of the characters belonging to each of the two players who are the opponents, and the pitcher parameter values (ball control power, ball power, change power) of one team and the defense of the fielder Matching process is performed for each character using the parameter value (defense ability) and the parameter value of the other team's fielder's attack (meet power, long hitting ability, running ability), and the final result is determined according to the result of the fighting for each character. Alternatively, the win / loss between players may be determined. At this time, if the character has an item or skill on the game (equipped), the parameter value of the character may be corrected according to the item or skill.

  An incentive may be given to the player according to the battle result. For example, you may perform the process which updates the registration content of a character database so that the parameter of the character which belongs to the player who won in the battle | competition process may be improved. Moreover, you may perform the process which provides the item and skill which give the effect on a game to the player who won in the battle | competition process.

  In the electronic game, the process in the regular battle stage is repeated. A player who participates in an electronic game can enhance motivation for winning a battle between players in a regular battle stage by nurturing his / her character (improving the parameters of the character) through a nurturing process.

  In the electronic game in the present embodiment, processing in the representative battle stage is performed in addition to the regular battle stage. Hereinafter, the process in the representative battle stage will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the representative battle stage, a representative team is constituted by representative characters selected from characters belonging to a plurality of players, and a battle process is performed between the representative teams. That is, unlike the regular battle stage in which battles are performed between players with the characters belonging to each player as a team, the battles are performed between the representative teams across a plurality of players.

  In step S20, a representative character selection process is performed. The server 102 selects characters to be used in the representative battle stage that progresses simultaneously with the regular battle stage. The server 102 refers to the group database, sequentially selects registered groups as processing targets, and performs representative character selection processing for each group. Through the processing in this step, the information processing system 100 functions as a representative character selection unit.

  FIG. 8 shows a registration example of the group database. The group database is a database in which player IDs of players belonging to the representative league are registered in association with the representative league ID (group identification information) unique to the representative league. That is, players who participate in the electronic game are assigned to one of a plurality of groups called representative leagues, and representative characters are selected from characters belonging to the plurality of players in the assigned group to form a representative team. . Thereby, the storage unit 12 functions as a group database storage unit.

  For example, in the registration example of the group database in FIG. 8, player A, player B, player C, player D, comb E and comb F are assigned to the representative league X. Similarly, players are assigned to other representative leagues. Note that “com” means a player that is automatically processed by a computer (server 102) instead of a human.

  The process of assigning players to the representative league is not particularly limited, and the server 102 may automatically perform grouping of players, or a group may be configured by selection of each player. For example, when the server 102 automatically performs grouping, the character database is referred to, and the difference in the total values of the character parameters registered in association with the player IDs of the respective players is randomly selected from the players. Processing such as selecting a predetermined number of players to form one group may be performed. When a group is configured by player selection, the players may contact each other by SNS or the like, and the players themselves may select the representative league so that good players belong to the same group.

  The server 102 sequentially selects the representative league from the group database as a processing target, refers to the character database, and selects a representative character based on the parameter of the character associated with the player ID of the player belonging to the selected representative league. To do. Specifically, some selection criteria may be determined in advance for the parameters of the character associated with the player ID of the player belonging to the representative league to be processed, and the representative character may be selected based on the selection criteria.

  When the electronic game is a baseball game, a representative character is selected for each character position (character category). The server 102 preferably selects a predetermined number of characters set for each position from a group of characters at the same position for a plurality of players belonging to the representative league to be processed based on the parameters of each character. . For example, for each position, “starter” is 7 characters, “relay” is 9 characters, “restraint” is 2 characters, “catcher”, “first base”, “second base”, “third base”, “stopper”, “left wing” ”,“ Medium-handed ”, and“ Right-winged ”each select two representative characters.

  The server 102 preferably selects a representative character for each position based on the value of the evaluation parameter set for each position among the parameters. For example, for each position, a predetermined number (representative selection number) of representative characters is selected in descending order of the value of the evaluation function using the evaluation parameter as an argument. More specifically, with respect to the pitchers of “starter”, “relay”, and “restraint”, a predetermined number in the descending order of the total value of the parameters for pitching, “ball control power”, “ball power”, and “change power” (Representative selection number) representative characters may be selected. In addition, fielders such as “capturer”, “first baseman”, “second baseman”, “third baseman”, “stopper”, “left wing hand”, “mid-handed hand”, “right wing hand” are parameters relating to attack and defense. A predetermined number (representative selection number) of representative characters may be selected in descending order of the total value of the parameters of “meet power”, “long striking power”, “running power”, and “defense power”. In addition, when the total value is equal and the number of selected persons exceeds a predetermined number (representative selection number), it may be selected randomly from the corresponding character, or a parameter value is set according to the priority order by giving priority to the evaluation parameters. May be selected in descending order. At this time, if the character has an item or skill on the game (equipped), the parameter value of the character may be corrected according to the item or skill.

  Here, when a character having the same parameter total value is a candidate for selection, the player is assigned to the player to which the candidate character belongs, and the player is assigned to the player to which the other candidate character belongs. You may perform the process which confirms whether it is good. Specifically, when the character having the same parameter total value becomes a candidate for selection of the representative character, the server 102 refers to the character database and extracts a player to which each candidate character belongs, Whether or not to allow the client 104 used by each player to display that the character is a candidate for the representative character in association with the character ID of the character and to give another player the representative character Instructs to perform the process of selecting The client 104 that has received an instruction from the server 102 displays that the character of the character ID received by the output unit 16 is a candidate for the representative character, and also makes the other player a representative character by the input unit 14. Accepts selection of whether to give up. When the client 104 accepts the selection to give up being selected by the representative character, the client 104 returns the selection result to the server 102 in association with the character ID of the character. When the server 102 receives the selection result giving up the selection of the representative character from any of the clients 104, the server 102 excludes the character with the received character ID from the candidate for the representative character, and a predetermined number of characters remaining as candidates ( When the number of representative selections becomes less than those, those characters are selected as representative characters.

  At this time, an incentive on the game may be given to the player who has given the representative character. For example, you may perform the process which updates the registration content of a character database so that the parameter of the character which handed over the representative character may be improved. Moreover, you may perform the process which provides the point, item, skill, etc. which give the effect on a game to the player who is raising the character who gave up the representative character.

  Moreover, you may perform the process which correct | amends the total value of the parameter of each character based on the relationship with another character. For example, when a special correction effect is obtained by a combination of characters that are candidates for the representative characters constituting the same representative team, the total value of the parameters of the entire representative team is maximized in consideration of the special correction effect. The representative character may be selected as described above. As a special correction effect, a correction coefficient for correcting a parameter of a character when specific characters belong to the same team may be registered in the character database.

  Similarly, a process of correcting the total value of the parameters of each character based on the relationship with skills and items possessed by other characters may be performed. For example, if a special correction effect can be obtained by combining the skills and items of the characters that are candidates for the representative characters that make up the same representative team, the total of the parameters for the entire representative team is taken into account that special correction effect. The representative character may be selected so as to maximize the value.

  Further, a predetermined number of representative character alternatives (selection candidates) may be selected for each position. That is, the server 102 does not select a representative character at the present time according to the above selection method, but further selects a character that has a high possibility of being selected as a representative character by raising the character and improving the parameter value. May be selected as a substitute (candidate for selection).

  The server 102 performs such representative character selection processing for all the representative leagues registered in the group database.

  In step S22, a representative character presentation process is performed. The server 102 notifies the client 104 used by the player participating in the electronic game of the representative character information selected in step S20. Each client 104 displays the notified representative character information on the output unit 26 so that the player can grasp the representative character.

  For example, as representative team information, information such as the name of the character selected as the representative character (character ID), the name of the player to which he belongs (may be the player's team name, etc.), position, number of selections, etc. may be displayed. . Information such as past performance results between representative teams and rankings of representative teams may be displayed together. Furthermore, the character selected as the representative character's substitute (selection candidate) in step S20 may be displayed at the same time.

  The representative character selection process in step S20 and the representative character announcement process in step S22 may be repeated a predetermined number of times before the battle process between the representative teams is performed. For example, in the example of FIG. 5, the final selection is performed after the primary preliminary selection, the secondary preliminary selection, and the tertiary preliminary selection. In this way, motivation to train characters in the regular battle stage so that players participating in the electronic game are selected as representative characters by making preliminary announcements every predetermined time and making an intermediate announcement Can be increased.

  In step S24, a battle process between the representative teams is performed. By the processing in this step, the information processing system 100 functions as an inter-group battle processing means. In the battle process between the representative teams, a battle is performed between the teams constituted by the representative characters selected for each representative team in step S20. The server 102 selects two representative teams, and performs a battle process between the representative teams using the parameters of the representative characters belonging to the selected representative teams. Further, the server 102 may perform a battle process between the representative teams as a tournament battle between the plurality of representative teams.

  It is preferable that the server 102 automatically performs the combination of the representative teams. For example, the server 102 refers to the character database, calculates the total value of the parameters of the representative character configured for each representative team, and randomly selects two values from the group of representative teams whose difference is within a predetermined range. A process of selecting a representative team or selecting a plurality of representative teams and determining a combination of tournaments may be performed. However, the processing of the combination of the representative team battles is not limited to this.

  When a representative team to be an opponent is selected, the server 102 refers to the character database, reads the parameters of the representative characters that constitute the representative team, and performs a battle process using the read parameters. The battle process is not particularly limited as long as it is a process for determining the victory or defeat between the representative teams based on the parameter values of the characters belonging to each of the selected representative teams.

  For example, a predetermined win / loss function is determined in advance, the parameter values of all the representative characters belonging to each of the two representative teams that are the opponents are read, and the win / loss between the representative teams is determined using the parameter value as an argument of the win / loss function. It may be determined. In addition, the team order is determined according to the positions of the characters belonging to each of the two representative teams that are the opponents, and the pitcher's parameter values (ball control power, ball power, change power) and fielder defense Matching process is performed for each character using the parameter value (defense ability) and the parameter value of the other team's fielder's attack (meet power, long hitting ability, running ability), and the final result is determined according to the result of the fighting for each character. You may decide to win or lose between the representative teams. At this time, if the character has an item or skill on the game (equipped), the parameter value of the character may be corrected according to the item or skill.

  An incentive may be given to the player according to the battle result. For example, you may perform the process which updates the registration content of a character database so that the parameter of the representative character which belongs to the representative team who won in the battle | competition process may be improved. In addition, a process of giving points, items, skills, and the like that give an effect on the game to a player who has trained a representative character belonging to the representative team who won the battle process may be performed.

  As described above, in the information processing system and the information processing program according to the present embodiment, a representative battle stage is provided in which representative characters are selected from characters belonging to a plurality of players to form a representative team and a battle is played between the representative teams. It has been. This can increase the motivation of raising the player's own character (improving the parameters of the character) so that the player participating in the electronic game is selected as the representative character to fight in the representative battle stage. In addition, when a tournament battle is performed only between players, a lost player may not be able to participate in the battle thereafter, so there is a risk that the motivation for nurturing the character may be reduced, but when a tournament battle is performed as a representative battle Can maintain the motivation to train the character.

  Also, strategic elements such as which character to cultivate at which position by acquiring incentives (points, items, skills, etc.) that give effects on the electronic game by selecting the representative character and leaving the result And motivation for nurturing the character can be further enhanced.
