[About the game according to this embodiment]
Prior to the description of the information processing device according to the present embodiment, a specific game (hereinafter, simply referred to as “game”) that can be played through the information processing device will be described.

The game is content that the player operates and plays on the terminal for game play while viewing the game screen, and in the present embodiment, it is an online game that uses data communication. Here, the online game may include, for example, a social game that can be used only with a Web browser and an account of an SNS (Social Networking Service).

In the present embodiment, the player can play the game alone, or can play the game jointly with other players. That is, the game is a joint play compatible game (so-called multiplayer game) in which a plurality of players can operate their respective terminals to play jointly.

In the game, the player plays a constituent unit of the game called a quest. The quest is played for the purpose of clearing (achieving the achievement condition), and a plurality of quests are set in this embodiment, and the content (for example, the difficulty level and the enemy character that appears) changes for each quest. In the case of single play, one player plays the quest, and in the case of joint play, a plurality of players jointly play the same quest.

In addition, the player can obtain and possess an object in the game and use the possessed object. The "object" is a game medium such as characters and items that appear in the game. Examples of the "character" include organisms such as humans, animals and plants, machines such as vehicles and robots, objects other than machines, fictitious characters such as monsters, and other characters similar thereto. An "item" is a material that is used by a player in the game to support or interfere with the player, and an item is an item that is used as currency in the game and can be exchanged for other items or characters. (In-game currency) is included.

Objects possessed by the player (possessed objects) are objects to be used by the player. The use of possessed objects means playing quests using possessed objects, and consuming other possessed objects to improve the parameters of one possessed object, such as enhancements and evolutions described below. be.

The character as a possessed object (possessed character) is used by the player when playing the quest. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the player edits the deck using the possessed characters, manipulates the objects in the deck to play each quest, and specifically defeats the enemy characters appearing in each quest. do. The "deck" is a character group (group) composed of a predetermined number (three in the case shown in FIG. 1) of characters possessed by the player. In addition, the player can possess a plurality of possessed characters of the same type, and in that case, when editing the deck to play the quest, the possessed characters of the same type can be selected.

In addition, the player can sell the possessed character in the game. Selling is the loss of the right to use the possessed character in exchange for obtaining in-game currency. The usage authority is the authority to use the possessed character in the game, and only the possessed character with the usage authority can be used for playing the quest (that is, added to the deck), and for the material at the time of strengthening described later. It can be used as a character.

In addition, parameters indicating abilities and attributes such as level, skill value, power (physical strength), and rack value are set for the possessed character. These parameters increase or decrease according to the progress of the player's game, and can be changed by, for example, strengthening. The enhancement is an in-game effect that increases the parameters of one possessed character (hereinafter referred to as "base character") by synthesizing a plurality of possessed characters, and is usually performed based on a player's instruction. By strengthening, the parameters of the base character increase according to the parameters of other possessed characters (hereinafter, material characters) synthesized with the base character.

In the present embodiment, the characters that can be synthesized for enhancement are characters associated with each other, for example, a base character and a character of the same type as the base character. Of the plurality of possessed characters used for strengthening, the material character synthesized with the base character loses the right to use after the strengthening is performed.

In addition, some possessed characters change to different types of characters due to effects such as evolution. The parameters of the character after the change, that is, the character derived from the possessed character before the change (hereinafter referred to as "derivative character"), change the parameters from the time before the change, and the appearance also changes from the appearance before the change. The change of the possessed character to the derived character (that is, the effect such as evolution) is usually carried out based on the instruction of the player, and the derived character is newly added as the possessed character of the player.

In the present embodiment, among the parameters of the possessed character before the change, the rack value is inherited as it is by the derived character after the change. That is, the rack value does not change due to the evolution of the possessed character, and the rack value of the derived character immediately after the change is the same as the rack value of the possessed character before the change immediately before the change. When the derived character is used as the base character for strengthening, a character of the same type as the derived character or a character before the change of the derived character is used as the material character.

Further, among the above parameters, the rack value corresponds to an example of the "predetermined parameter" of the present invention, and the higher the rack value of the possessed character, the easier it is to receive benefits in the game. Specifically, in the game, a reward is given to the player who has cleared the quest. The reward is an object that can be used by the player in the game, and corresponds to, for example, a character and an item. In addition, the items given as rewards include in-game currency, and the in-game currency includes in-game currency necessary for carrying out a predetermined event in the game, and the in-game currency is used. The events that can be carried out include lottery events in which characters and the like can be obtained.

In the present embodiment, the reward includes a normal reward and a special reward. The normal reward is the reward normally obtained by clearing the quest, and there is a certain probability that the character corresponding to the cleared quest, specifically the enemy character that appeared in the quest (more specifically, the end of the quest). (Boss characters, etc. that appear in) are included in the normal reward.
Then, the number of normal rewards given is determined according to the rack value of the possessed characters that make up the deck used to clear the quest, and is usually the specified number (for example, 1), but the higher the rack value, the more the specified value. It becomes easier to obtain a larger number (for example, 2) of normal rewards.

The number of normal rewards may depend on factors other than the rack value of the possessed characters that make up the deck. For example, whether or not items that increase the number of normal rewards are used, and the quest clearing speed (quest clearing). The number of normal rewards may be determined according to the time required for the quest) and whether or not the quest is the first clear. Further, even in the same quest, the number of normal rewards may be changed depending on whether one player clears it in single play or a plurality of players clear it in joint play.

The special reward corresponds to an example of the "reward" of the present invention, for example, a character or item set with a lower acquisition probability than the normal reward, and specifically, it is necessary to carry out the above-mentioned lottery event. Items that are more valuable than usual (for example, items that are set to a smaller number than usual to hold one lottery event) and the like.

In the present embodiment, the special reward is obtained when the total value of the rack values of the specific characters reaches the condition value. The specific character is an object corresponding to the specific quest (for example, an enemy character that appears in the specific quest), and is given as a normal reward when the specific quest is cleared, for example. A specific quest is a quest that can be played for a limited time. For example, during a period set for the purpose of promoting the play of a specific quest (hereinafter referred to as "quest holding period"), a quest in the game due to a version upgrade of the game or the like. Is added as. In this embodiment, a plurality of specific quests are prepared, and the contents are different for each quest, and in particular, the type of the specific character given as a normal reward when cleared is different.

The number of multiple specific quests is not particularly limited, but in the following, as an example, three specific quests (hereinafter referred to as "specific quests A, B, C") can be played for a limited time. I will explain it. By the way, in the following explanation, among the characters possessed by the player, the character given when the quest other than the specific quest is cleared, that is, the character possessed other than the specific character (corresponding to another object) is referred to as a "general character". I will call it.

By clearing each of the specific quests A, B, and C, the player normally rewards the specific characters (hereinafter referred to as "specific characters a, b, c") corresponding to each specific quest, as shown in FIG. Can be obtained as. In addition, the player can increase the number of possession of each of the plurality of specific characters a, b, and c by repeatedly playing and clearing each specific quest. That is, a player who has cleared a specific quest multiple times is given an object corresponding to the specific quest each time the specific quest is cleared.

Further, as described above, the player can possess a plurality of specific characters a, b, and c, and can sell the possessed specific characters a, b, and c. Further, the player can change each of the plurality of specific characters a, b, and c into derivative characters by evolution or the like.

Furthermore, the player strengthens the base character by using one of the specific characters possessed (corresponding to "one object") or a derived character derived from the specific character as the base character, so that the rack value of the base character is increased. Can be increased.

In the present embodiment, an upper limit value is set for the rack value of the possessed character, and for a character whose rack value reaches the upper limit value, the rack value does not increase even if reinforcement is performed thereafter. Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to simultaneously possess a plurality of characters of the same type as the character whose rack value has reached the upper limit value (see FIG. 12).
The upper limit of the rack value is not particularly limited, but in the following, a case where “99” is set as the upper limit value of the rack value will be described as an example.

Also, during the quest holding period (strictly speaking, during the quest playable period described later), if you clear a specific quest using a specific character or derivative character whose rack value has reached the upper limit, the rack value will reach the upper limit. The player is given a larger number of normal rewards than when the same specific quest is cleared using the reached general character.

Then, when the total value of the rack values of the specific characters a, b, c (strictly speaking, the derived characters derived from each specific character) possessed by the player reaches the condition value, a special reward is given to the player. Will be done. Here, the total value of the rack values is the sum of all the rack values of the specific characters given to the player each time the specific quest is cleared, and as the number of times the specific quest is cleared increases (in other words, the specific character's total value). (The more you have, the bigger). In the case shown in FIG. 3, the total rack value is 30.

In addition, in this embodiment, "all of the specific characters given to the player" to be added are the specific characters possessed in the past, and the usage authority has been lost at the present time due to the sale or strengthening. A specific character is included.

Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of condition values different from each other are set, and a special reward is set for each condition value (see FIG. 10). When the total value of the rack values of the specific characters a, b, and c possessed by the player reaches each condition value, the player is given a special reward corresponding to the reached condition value each time.

Based on the above points, the quest holding period is preferably set to a period sufficient for the player of the game to repeatedly play each of the specific quests A, B, and C. For example, one day to several days, 1 It may be set to week to several weeks, one month to several months, or one year to several years.

In the present embodiment, each of the plurality of specific quests A, B, and C has a plurality of playable time zones (hereinafter referred to as "specified time zones") within the quest holding period, and each of them is defined in advance. The specified time zone of a specific quest is different from each other between specific quests.

Explaining with reference to FIG. 4, each of the plurality of specified time zones set for each specific quest is one hour to several hours, and as shown in FIG. 4, the specific quest that reaches the specified time zone It fluctuates throughout the day, and for example, it switches periodically in the order of specific quests A, B, and C. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the specified time zones of the plurality of specific quests A, B, and C are set so as not to overlap between the specific quests. That is, in principle, only that specific quest can be played during the specified time zone of a specific quest (for example, specific quest A), and other specific quests (for example, specific quests B and C) cannot be played. It is not supposed to be possible.

In the present embodiment, the player can register any or all of the plurality of specific quests A, B, and C as play reservation quests. When a specific quest is registered as a play reservation quest, the registered specific quest can be played at this time for the player who made the play reservation when the specified time zone of the specific quest is reached. You will be notified.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the playable time zone of each specific quest can be changed from the specified time zone by two exceptional measures. The first measure is an additional measure that adds a playable time zone for a specific quest to a time zone other than the specified time zone. According to the additional measures, as shown in the upper figure of FIG. 5, only one hour to several hours within a certain time (for example, within 24 hours) from the end of the specified time zone of a specific quest (for example, specific quest A). , You can add the time zone when you can play the specific quest. The second measure is an extension measure that extends the playable time zone of a specific quest. According to the extension measure, as shown in the lower figure of FIG. 5, the playable time zone of a specific quest (for example, specific quest A) is extended within a range of 1 hour to 24 hours from the end of the specified time zone. be able to.

Both of the above two exceptional measures (that is, additional measures and extension measures) are executed according to the instructions of the player. Specifically, in the game, the player instructs an additional measure or an extension measure using a predetermined instruction item, and selects a specific quest to which the instructed measure is applied. As a result, the playable time zone is added or extended for the specific quest selected by the player.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the plurality of specific quests A, B, and C play in the time zone added or extended by the above exceptional measures in addition to the specified time zone during the quest holding period. It is possible. In the following, the period in which the playable time zone added or extended is added to the quest holding period, that is, the entire period in which a plurality of specific quests A, B, and C can be played is referred to as the "quest playable period". I will call it. This quest playable period corresponds to the "predetermined period" of the present invention. The start of the quest playable period coincides with the start of the quest period, and the end of the quest play period is delayed by the time zone added by the above-mentioned additional measures from the end of the quest play period. It will be a point in time.

In the present embodiment, the player can repeatedly play a plurality of specific quests A, B, and C during the quest playable period, and each time the specific quest is cleared, the player acquires a specific character corresponding to the cleared specific quest. can do. Then, when the total value of the rack values of the specific characters a, b, and c possessed by the player reaches the condition value during the quest playable period, a special reward is given to the player.

[About the information processing device and peripheral devices of this embodiment]
Next, the information processing device and its peripheral devices according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, one player of the game will be focused on, and that player will be referred to as a “target player”.

The target player possesses a terminal for game play (hereinafter, operation terminal 12). Although only the operation terminals 12 of the target player are shown in FIG. 6, it goes without saying that there are actually as many operation terminals 12 as the number of game players.

Further, the storage 24 may be configured by an external computer (for example, a database server) or the like that is communicably connected to the server body. As a technique for recording various data, a distributed ledger technique such as a blockchain may be used for the purpose of avoiding unauthorized data tampering.

Further, as software, a program for an operating system (OS) and an information processing program for game progress are installed on the server 10. These programs correspond to the "programs" of the present invention, and when executed by the processor 21, the server 10 functions as the information processing device of the present invention.

Specifically, by executing the above program, the server 10 accepts the operation of the target player via the operation terminal 12 of the target player, and generates data for advancing the game according to the accepted operation. The generated data is transmitted to the operation terminal 12 of the target player. Further, the server 10 manages the play history of the game of the target player, and is granted by clearing each of a plurality of specific quests A, B, and C, and the specific quests, especially during the quest playable period. It manages the number of possession of the specific characters a, b, and c, and the total value of the rack values of the assigned specific characters a, b, and c.

The above program may be acquired by reading from a computer-readable recording medium (media), or may be acquired (downloaded) via a network such as the Internet or an intranet.

[About the function of the information processing device of this embodiment]
Explaining the configuration of the server 10 again from the functional aspect, as shown in FIG. 7, the server 10 has a reception unit 31, a game progress unit 32, a screen display unit 33, a storage unit 34, a parameter determination unit 35, and a parameter change unit 36. It has an authority management unit 37, a recommendation unit 38, a reward granting unit 39, and a time zone changing unit 40. Of these functional units, the storage unit 34 is realized by the memory 22 or the storage 24, and the other functional units are a combination of various hardware devices constituting the server 10 and a program installed on the server 10. It is realized by working. Hereinafter, each functional unit will be described in detail.

(Reception department)
The reception unit 31 accepts an operation for game progress performed by the target player through the operation terminal 12 by communicating with the operation terminal 12, and specifically, receives data indicating the operation content from the operation terminal 12. In addition to the operations performed during the play of the quest (that is, the operation of advancing the quest aiming at clearing), the operation of the target player accepted by the reception unit 31 includes various selections performed by the target player in each scene in the game. Includes designations, instructions, requests, orders, permits or denials, registrations and other input operations.

In the present embodiment, the reception unit 31 performs, for example, an operation of selecting a quest to play, an operation of instructing the implementation of strengthening the possessed character, an operation of instructing the use of possessed items, an operation of instructing the sale of possessed characters, and a display. It accepts operations that request screen switching and operations that register play reservation quests.

(Game progress section and screen display section)
The game progress unit 32 executes information processing for advancing the game in response to the operation of the target player received by the reception unit 31. The screen display unit 33 causes the operation terminal 12 of the target player to display a screen (game screen) that reflects the result of information processing by the game progress unit 32. In the present embodiment, the screen displayed on the operation terminal 12 of the target player by the screen display unit 33 includes the home screen G1 shown in FIG. 8 and the specific screen shown in FIG. 9 in addition to the quest play screen shown in FIG. The quest progress screen G2, the special reward list screen G3 shown in FIG. 10, and the like are included. Each display screen will be described in detail later.

(Memory)
The storage unit 34 stores various information necessary for playing the game, and as shown in FIG. 7, the player information storage unit 51, the character information storage unit 52, the item information storage unit 53, the possessed character information storage unit 54, and the quest. The information storage unit 55 and the time zone information storage unit 56 are included.

The player information storage unit 51 stores information regarding the game play history of the target player. The information stored in the player information storage unit 51 includes the player name or identification information (ID), login password, last login date and time, total game play time, and one day for each player of the game including the target player. It includes the average time zone for playing the game, the identification information of the characters given so far, the identification information of the items possessed, the number of possessions, and the like.

Further, in the quest playable period, in addition to the above information, as shown in FIG. 11, each of the plurality of specific quests A, B, and C is given the number of plays, the play time, the number of clears, and so far. The total value of the number of specific characters given, the rack value of each specific character, the average value and the shortest time required for clearing, the constituent characters of the deck used when clearing in the shortest time, and the rack value is the player. Each time, it is stored in the player information storage unit 51. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the player information storage unit 51 stores for each player whether or not each special reward set for each condition value has been granted (that is, whether or not it has been acquired).

The character information storage unit 52 determines the appearance of each of the characters that can be obtained by clearing the quest, when the character changes to a derived character due to the name, appearance (image), initial value and upper limit of parameters, evolution, etc. The initial value and upper limit value of the parameter, the acquisition probability, etc. are stored in association with the character identification information. The item information storage unit 53 stores the item name, the effect at the time of use, the acquisition probability, and the like for each item in the game in association with the item identification information.

The possessed character information storage unit 54 determines, for each of the possessed characters of each player, whether or not the current value of the parameter including the rack value, whether or not the rack value has reached the upper limit value, and whether or not the character has been changed to a derived character due to evolution or the like. Or, the presence or absence of usage authority is stored in association with the player's identification ID and the character's identification information.

The quest information storage unit 55 describes the characteristics of the quest that can be played in the game (for example, the enemy character that appears and the difficulty level, etc.), the character or item that is given as a reward (normal reward) when the quest is cleared. And the players who have cleared and the number of them are stored in association with the identification information of the quest.
In addition to the above information, during the quest playable period, a predetermined time zone defined in advance as a playable time zone for each of the plurality of specific quests A, B, and C is stored in the quest information for each specific quest. It is stored in the part 55.

The time zone information storage unit 56 applies the changed time zone to the playable time zone changed by addition, extension, etc. for the quest whose playable time zone is limited, such as a specific quest. It is stored in association with the player's identification information.

(Parameter determination unit)
The parameter determination unit 35 determines the parameters of the character given as a normal reward to the player who cleared the quest, and in the present embodiment, determines the rack value of the specific character given to the player who cleared the special quest.

In the present embodiment, the parameter determination unit 35 determines the rack value of the specific character within a predetermined numerical range (for example, a range of 1 to 5). The rack value determined by the parameter determination unit 35 may be changed for each specific character, or may be a constant value. When the rack value is changed for each specific character, the parameter determination unit 35 uses the information stored in the storage unit 34, particularly the player information stored in the player information storage unit 51 (for example, information regarding the play history of the target player). Based on this, the rack value of the specific character to be assigned may be determined.

Specifically, the parameter determination unit 35 sets the rack value of the specific character given when the target player clears the specific quest according to the number of times the target player clears the specific quest within a predetermined numerical range. For example, the rack value may be determined to be a larger value as the number of clears increases. Here, the number of times the quest is cleared may be the number of times the quest is cleared in one of a plurality of specified time zones (for example, one hour to several hours) set during the quest holding period for each specific quest. That is, the parameter determination unit 35 clears the rack value of the specific character given when the target player clears the specific quest within a predetermined numerical range, and the target player clears the specific quest within one specified time zone. It can be determined according to the number of times. For example, the rack value may be determined to be a larger value as the number of times of clearing increases.

Other procedures for determining the rack value can be considered, and the parameter determination unit 35 defines the time zone in which the target player plays a specific quest in a day and each of a plurality of specific quests A, B, and C. A weight is set for each specific quest based on the specified time zone. Here, the time zone in which the target player plays the specific quest in a day may be an average time zone statistically calculated from the actual results of the time zone in which the target player has played the specific quest so far. .. The weight may be determined based on the degree of coincidence between the specified time zone of the specific quest and the time zone in which the target player plays the specific quest. For example, the weight may be increased as the degree of coincidence becomes smaller.
Then, the parameter determination unit 35 can determine the rack value of the specific character given when the target player clears the specific quest within a predetermined numerical range according to the weight of the specific quest, for example, the weight. The larger the value, the larger the rack value may be determined.

Alternatively, the parameter determination unit 35 may determine the rack value of the specific character given when the target player clears the specific quest within a predetermined numerical range according to the time zone in which the specific quest is played. For example, the parameter determination unit plays the same specific quest in a time zone changed from the specified time zone by the above-mentioned additional measures or extension measures, compared with the rack value when the specific quest is played within the specified time zone. If this is the case, the rack value may be determined to be a larger value.

Alternatively, the parameter determination unit 35 sets the rack value of the specific character given when the target player clears the specific quest within a predetermined numerical range according to the relationship between the target player's final login and the quest holding period. You may decide. For example, suppose that the last login time of the target player is before the quest holding period, and the target player logs in for the first time in a long time near the end of the quest holding period (specifically, the last day of the period, etc.). In this case, it becomes difficult for the target player to repeatedly clear the specific quest until the total rack value of the specific character reaches the upper limit. In consideration of this point, in the above situation, the parameter determination unit 35 clears the rack value of the specific character given when the target player clears a specific quest by another player. The rack value of the specific character given in the case may be determined to be a larger value.

(Parameter change part)
The parameter changing unit 36 changes the parameters of the possessed character selected as the base character when the target player instructs the possessed character of the target player to carry out the enhancement. For example, the target player selects one specific character (corresponding to one object) or a derived character derived from the one specific character (corresponding to the derived object) as the base character, and the same type of material as the above one specific character. When a character is selected, the parameter changing unit 36 synthesizes these characters and increases the rack value of the base character according to the rack value of the material character. At this time, parameters other than the rack value of the base character are also increased in the same manner. For parameters that have already reached the upper limit, they will not increase even if they are strengthened, and will be maintained at the upper limit.
Then, the parameter changing unit 36 updates the parameter of the base character to the parameter after the increase (after strengthening) among the information about the possessed character of the target player stored in the possessed character information storage unit 54 of the storage unit 34.

(Authority management department)
Based on the instruction of the target player, the authority management unit 37 eliminates the usage authority of the possessed character of the target player including the specific character given to the target player. Specifically, when the target player instructs the sale of the possessed character, the authority management unit 37 loses the right to use the character to be sold. Further, when the target player instructs to strengthen the possessed character, the authority management unit 37 loses the right to use the possessed character used as the material character in the strengthening.
The authority management unit 37 updates the presence or absence of the use authority stored in the possessed character information storage unit 54 from "with authority" to "without authority" for the possessed character whose usage authority has been lost.

(Recommended part)
The recommendation unit 38 selects a recommended quest from a plurality of specific quests at each time point during the quest holding period, and recommends the selected recommended quest to the target player. In the present embodiment, the recommendation unit 38 aggregates the rack values of the specific characters given to the target players by character type at each time point during the quest holding period. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 3, the aggregated value of the rack value of the specific character a is 8, the aggregated value of the rack value of the specific character b is 7, and the aggregated value of the rack value of the specific character c is 15. ..

Then, the recommendation unit 38 sets a specific character having a smaller aggregated value at that time, specifically, a specific quest corresponding to the type of the specific character having the smallest aggregated value as a recommended quest. In the case of FIG. 3, the specific quest B corresponding to the specific character b is set as the recommended quest.

Other steps for setting the recommended quest can be considered. For example, the recommendation unit 38 reads the player information of the target player stored in the player information storage unit 51, and the target player selects the specific quest for each of the plurality of specific quests. Specify the time required to clear the above, specifically the shortest required time (shortest clearing time). In this case, the recommendation unit 38 can set a specific quest with a shorter shortest clear time, specifically, a specific quest with the shortest clear time as a recommended quest. In such a setting procedure, the recommendation unit 38 identifies the deck used by the target player when clearing the quest set as the recommended quest (that is, the specific quest with the shortest clearing time) from the player information of the target player. , The identified deck may be recommended as a recommended deck along with the recommended quests.

Alternatively, the recommendation unit 38 reads the player information of a plurality of players including the target player from the player information storage unit 51, and totals the number of times each of the plurality of players has cleared each of the plurality of specific quests for each specific quest. In this case, the recommendation unit 38 can set a specific quest having a larger total value, for example, a specific quest having the maximum total value (that is, a specific quest cleared most by a plurality of players) as a recommended quest.

Alternatively, the recommendation unit 38 reads out the information about the possessed character of the target player stored in the possessed character information storage unit 54, and the rack value is set for each of the plurality of specific characters a, b, and c given to the target player. Identify if there is a character that has reached the upper limit. In this case, the recommendation unit 38 can set a specific quest corresponding to a specific character whose rack value has not yet reached the upper limit value as a recommended quest.

(Reward granting department)
The reward giving unit 39 grants a predetermined reward to the target player when the target player satisfies the reward granting condition in the game. As shown in FIG. 7, the reward granting unit 39 of the present embodiment includes the first granting unit 61 and the second granting unit 62.

<1st granting part>
The first granting unit 61 grants a normal reward to the target player when the target player clears the quest. Further, when the target player repeatedly plays and clears each of the plurality of specific quests A, B, and C during the quest playable period, the first granting unit 61 selects the specific character corresponding to the specific quest cleared by the target player. At least the included normal reward is given to the target player each time a specific quest is cleared.

In the present embodiment, the first granting unit 61 uses the number of normal rewards given to the target player who has cleared the quest to play the quest (specifically, the possessed character added to the deck). ) Is determined according to the rack value. To give an example, it is assumed that the target player clears a specific quest by using one specific character or a derivative character derived from the specific character during the quest playable period. In this case, the first granting unit 61 increases the number of normal rewards according to the probability according to the rack value of the specific character or the derived character, and grants the number of normal rewards to the target player.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the target player clears the specific quest corresponding to the above specific character after the rack value of one specific character or a derived character derived from the specific character reaches the upper limit value, the first The granting unit 61 newly grants a specific character of the same type as the specific character to the target player. Explaining the case shown in FIG. 12 as an example, when the target player newly clears the specific quest A after the rack value of one of the specific characters a possessed by the target player reaches the upper limit value, a new case is described. A specific character a (specific character a surrounded by a broken line square frame in FIG. 12) is given to the target player.

Further, in the present embodiment, during the quest playable period, the number of normal rewards obtained by clearing a specific quest using one specific character whose rack value has reached the upper limit value or a derivative character thereof is other than the specific character. It will be more than the number of normal rewards obtained by clearing a specific quest using a general character whose rack value has reached the upper limit. However, it is not limited to this, and it is obtained when a specific quest is cleared by using it between a specific character (including its derivative character) and a general character with the rack value reaching the upper limit. The number of normal rewards may be the same.

<Second granting part>
The second granting unit 62 is a special reward when the total value of the rack values of the specific characters given to the target player each time the specific quest is cleared by the first granting unit 61 reaches the condition value during the quest playable period. Is given to the target player. In the present embodiment, when the target player clears a specific quest during the quest playable period (in other words, when a specific character corresponding to the cleared specific quest is newly assigned), the second granting unit 62 determines the quest. Calculate the total rack value of the specific character given to the target player each time the specific quest is cleared during the playable period.

More specifically, the second granting unit 62 obtains the total value of the rack values at that time each time the target player clears the specific quest. Then, the second granting unit 62 determines whether or not the obtained total value has reached the condition value, and if the total value has reached the condition value, the target player receives a special reward corresponding to the condition value. Give to.

Further, in the present embodiment, the second granting unit 62 adds up all the rack values of the specific characters granted to the target player regardless of the presence or absence of the usage authority. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 3, when one or a plurality of specific characters possessed by the target player (specific character b surrounded by a broken line square frame in FIG. 3) are sold, the sold specific character Usage authority is lost. In this case, the second granting unit 62 obtains the total value of all the rack values of the specific characters given to the target player during the quest playable period, including the sold specific character (in the case shown in FIG. 3). The total rack value is 30). Then, when the total value obtained in the above procedure reaches the condition value, the second granting unit 62 grants a special reward to the target player.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the second granting unit 62 obtains the total rack value of the specific character, after the rack value of one specific character or its derivative character reaches the upper limit value, the above-mentioned specification is performed. The total value of all rack values of the specific character given to the target player is calculated, including the specific character of the same type as the character and whose rack value has not reached the upper limit value. For example, the specific characters given to the target player by a certain point in time are the four specific characters a shown in the right figure of FIG. 12, and the rack value of each specific character at that time is the value shown in the figure. In this case, the total value of the rack values is 104 (= 99 + 2 + 2 + 1).
Then, the second granting unit 62 grants a special reward to the target player when the total value obtained in the above procedure reaches the condition value during the quest playable period.

However, the content is not limited to the above, and after the rack value of one specific character or its derivative character reaches the upper limit value, the second granting unit 62 is among the specific characters given to the target player. The total value of the rack values of the specific characters may be obtained except for the specific characters of the same type as the above-mentioned specific characters whose rack value has not reached the upper limit value. For example, if the specific characters assigned to the target player by a certain point in time are the four specific characters a shown in the right figure of FIG. 12, and the rack value among them has reached the upper limit value, at that time point. The total value of the rack values of the above may be set to the rack value of the specific character a that has reached the upper limit value, that is, 99.

(Time zone change department)
The time zone changing unit 40 changes the playable time zone of the specific quest from the predetermined time zone within the quest playable period. Specifically, when the target player uses a predetermined instruction item in the game and instructs the addition or extension of the playable time zone for one specific quest, the time zone change unit 40 of the specific quest Change the playable time zone from the specified time zone, and add or extend the time zone in detail.

Further, in the present embodiment, the time zone changing unit 40 can urge the target player to change the playable time zone of the specific quest, specifically, to add the time zone. Specifically, at some point during the quest period (for example, when the number of days remaining until the end of the period is one or several days), the total rack value has not reached the condition value, that is, the target. Suppose the player has not obtained a special reward. In this case, the time zone changing unit 40 determines whether or not the target player possesses an item for adding a playable time zone of the specific quest, and when the target player possesses the item. Prompts the target player to use the item, that is, to add a playable time zone.

For a specific quest that was prompted by the time zone change unit 40 to add a playable time zone, a rack of specific characters that is given as a normal reward when the target player clears the quest within the added time zone. It is more preferable that the value tends to be larger than when the quest is cleared within the specified time zone. In this way, it is possible to motivate the target player to repeatedly play a plurality of specific quests A, B, and C during the quest holding period (especially in the latter half of the period), and the rack value can be obtained during the quest holding period. It is possible to avoid the situation where the special reward is missed because the total value of is not reached the condition value.

[About the information processing method according to this embodiment]
Next, as an example of the information processing method of the present invention, an information processing method using the information processing device (that is, the server 10) according to the present embodiment will be described.
In the following, as an explanation of the information processing method according to the present embodiment, the flow of information processing for game progress executed by the server 10 will be mainly described.

The information processing for game progress according to the present embodiment is divided into a stage from the time when the target player logs in to the game to the stage where the target player plays the specific quest, and a stage where the target player plays the specific quest. Regarding the former, from the viewpoint of GUI, the transition of the game screen displayed on the operation terminal 12 of the target player will be described with reference to the screen examples shown in FIGS. 8 to 10. The latter will be described with reference to the flow charts shown in FIGS. 13 and 14.

When the target player logs in to the game, the server 10 (specifically, the screen display unit 33) transmits the display data of the home screen to the operation terminal 12 of the target player. As a result, the home screen G1 shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the operation terminal 12 of the target player. Various operation buttons are arranged at the bottom of the home screen G1, for example, a button for requesting switching to the quest selection screen, a button for instructing the strengthening of the possessed character, a button for instructing the sale of the possessed character, and possession. There is a button that requests the use of the item to be used.

When the target player touches any of the operation buttons on the screen, the data corresponding to the operation button, that is, the data indicating the content of the terminal operation by the target player is generated by the operation terminal 12 and transmitted to the server 10. .. The server 10 (specifically, the reception unit 31) receives the operation of the target player by receiving the above data sent from the operation terminal 12.

Further, during the quest play possible period, a progress confirmation button B1 is arranged at a predetermined position on the home screen G1 (upper left corner position in FIG. 8), and when the target player touches the progress confirmation button B1, it corresponds to the touch operation. Data to be generated is generated and transmitted to the server 10. When the server 10 (specifically, the screen display unit 33) receives the data, the server 10 (specifically, the screen display unit 33) reads out the player information of the target player stored in the player information storage unit 51, particularly the player information related to the specific quest, and converts the read player information into the read player information. Based on this, the display data of the specific quest progress screen is generated. The display data of the specific quest progress screen is transmitted from the server 10 to the operation terminal 12 of the target player, and when the data is received by the operation terminal 12, the specific quest progress screen G2 shown in FIG. 9 is sent to the operation terminal 12. Is displayed.

On the specific quest progress screen G2, the progress status of the target player regarding a plurality of specific quests A, B, and C is displayed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the total value of the rack values of the specific characters given by the target player by clearing the specific quest so far, and the rack value required for the next special reward to be given. , And the aggregated value of the rack value for each type of the specific character is displayed on the specific quest progress screen G2.

Further, on the specific quest progress screen G2, as shown in FIG. 9, the rack value of the specific character given when the specific quest is cleared next (specifically, the rack value determined by the parameter determination unit 35) is displayed. Displayed for each quest. In other words, in the present embodiment, the server 10 (specifically, the screen display unit 33) displays a screen showing the rack value of the specific character given when the target player clears the specific quest next time, on the terminal of the target player. Can be displayed on. The rack value displayed at this time is determined according to, for example, the number of times each specific quest has been cleared so far, in other words, the number of each specific character given to the target player so far.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the specific quest progress screen G2 displays a quest selected from a plurality of specific quests A, B, and C (specifically, a recommended quest set by the recommended unit 38). NS. Recommended quests are set according to the progress of the target player for multiple specific quests A, B, and C. Specifically, the target player can obtain special rewards more efficiently by clearing the recommended quests. Set to allow.

Further, a reward confirmation button B2 is arranged on the specific quest progress screen G2, and when the target player touches the reward confirmation button B2, data corresponding to the touch operation is generated and transmitted to the server 10. Upon receiving the data, the server 10 (specifically, the screen display unit 33) generates the display data of the special reward list screen. The display data of the special reward list screen is transmitted from the server 10 to the operation terminal 12 of the target player, and when the data is received by the operation terminal 12, the special reward list screen G3 shown in FIG. 10 is sent to the operation terminal 12. Is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 10, the special reward list screen G3 displays the types and numbers of special rewards set for each condition value in a list format. Further, on the special reward list screen G3, whether or not the grant to the target player has been completed (in other words, whether or not the target player has already acquired) is displayed for each special reward. The target player can confirm the acquisition status of each special reward through the special reward list screen G3.

When the target player performs a predetermined operation during the quest playable period, for example, touching the play button of the specific quest displayed at the bottom of the specific quest progress screen G2, the information processing flow related to the play of the specific quest (hereinafter, specific). Quest flow) is executed. The target player plays a specific quest through the execution of the specific quest flow.

For the specific quest that the target player touches the play button, the specific quest flow is executed when the execution time of the touch operation is within the playable time zone of the specific quest. On the other hand, if the execution time of the touch operation is not within the playable time zone of the specific quest, the flow for the specific quest is not executed. In that case, for example, an error screen is displayed on the operation terminal 12 again. It is advisable to request the target player to perform the above operation.

In the specific quest flow, the server 10 first identifies a quest selected by the target player as a play target from among the plurality of specific quests A, B, and C (S001). Next, the server 10 (specifically, the screen display unit 33) generates display data of the play screen of the specific quest to be played, and transmits the generated display data to the operation terminal 12 of the target player (S002). ). This makes it possible to start playing a specific quest that is the target of play.

The target player operates the operation terminal 12, selects a character to be used from the possessed characters, edits the deck, and plays a specific quest to be played. During the play of the specific quest, the server 10 accepts the operation of the target player through the operation terminal 12 of the target player at any time, and advances the game according to the accepted operation (S003). Then, the server 10 displays the game screen according to the progress on the operation terminal 12 of the target player, and in detail, generates the display data of the game screen and transmits it to the operation terminal 12 of the target player (S004). ..

When the game progresses and the target player clears the specific quest to be played (S005), the server 10 (specifically, the first granting unit 61) receives a normal reward including at least the specific character corresponding to the cleared specific quest. It is given to the target player (S006). At this time, the server 10 determines the normal reward to be given to the target player according to the rack value of the possessed characters constituting the deck used in the specific quest cleared by the target player, and strictly speaking, according to the rack value. Increase the number of regular rewards according to the probability.

With the clearing of the specific quest and the granting of the normal reward, the server 10 uses the player information of the target player stored in the player information storage unit 51 of the storage unit 34 and the target stored in the possessed character information storage unit 54. Information about the player's possessed character is updated (S007).

Further, the server 10 (specifically, the second granting unit 62) has been granted to the target player up to the present time based on the updated player information of the target player and the updated information regarding the possessed character of the target player. The total value of the rack values of the specific characters is obtained (S008).

In step S008, even if there is a character that is not authorized to be used by selling or the like among the specific characters assigned to the target player, the server 10 is a specific character assigned to the target player regardless of whether or not the specific character is authorized to use. Add up all rack values. Further, in step S008, the server 10 identifies the same type as the above-mentioned specific character and the rack value does not reach the upper limit even after the rack value of one specific character or its derivative character reaches the upper limit. The rack values of all the specific characters given to the target player, including the character, are added up.

Then, the server 10 (specifically, the second granting unit 62) determines whether or not the total value of the obtained rack values has reached the condition value (S009), and when the total value has reached the condition value. Gives a special reward to the target player (S010). In the present embodiment, a plurality of condition values are set, and the server 10 executes the determination process in step S009 for each condition value, and when the total value reaches the plurality of condition values, each condition is set. Of the special rewards corresponding to the values, unacquired special rewards are given to the target player.

Further, with the grant of the special reward, the server 10 updates the player information of the target player and the like stored in the player information storage unit 51 of the storage unit 34 (S011). On the other hand, if the total value of the obtained rack values does not reach the condition value, the special reward is not given to the target player, and steps S010 and S011 are omitted.

When the above steps are completed, the flow for the specific quest related to one play of the specific quest is completed. Further, the series of steps S001 to S011 of the flow for the specific quest described above are repeatedly executed every time the target player plays the specific quest during the quest playable period.

Further, after a predetermined time during the event holding period, for example, after the number of remaining days until the end date of the period is one day or several days, the determination flow shown in FIG. 15 is executed prior to the flow for the specific quest. .. In the determination flow, it is determined whether or not the total value of the rack values has reached the condition value at a predetermined time during the event holding period, in other words, whether or not the target player has acquired the special reward (S021). Here, the determination as to whether or not a special reward has been acquired may be a determination as to whether or not at least one special reward has been acquired, or a plurality of special rewards that can be acquired for each condition value. It may be a judgment as to whether or not all of the above are acquired.

If the target player has not obtained any special rewards (or has not obtained all of the multiple special rewards that can be obtained for each condition value), add a playable time zone for a specific quest. It is determined whether or not the target player possesses the item for this purpose (S022). Then, when the target player who has not acquired the special reward possesses the item for adding the time zone, the server 10 (specifically, the time zone changing unit 40) uses the above item, that is, the playable time. Prompt the target player to add a band (S023). As a result, it is possible to motivate the target player to repeatedly play a plurality of specific quests A, B, and C during the quest holding period (especially in the latter half of the period), and the total value of the rack values during the quest holding period. It is possible to avoid a situation in which the target player fails to take the special reward because the condition value is not reached.

When the target player uses an item for adding a time zone, the server (specifically, the time zone changing unit 40) adds a playable time zone other than the specified time zone to the specific item in which the above item is used. .. In this case, as described above, the rack value of the specific character given when the target player clears the specific quest that can be played within the added time zone is higher than when the specific quest is cleared within the specified time zone. It is good that the value tends to be large.

[Other Embodiments]
Although the information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program of the present invention have been described above with specific examples, the above-described embodiment is merely an example, and other embodiments may be considered.

In the above-described embodiment, the server computer (server 10) that executes information processing for game progress functions as the information processing device of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto. A part of the functions of the server 10 may be provided in the terminal of the target player, that is, the operation terminal 12. For example, one or both of the first granting unit 61 and the second granting unit 62 included in the reward granting unit 39 may be provided in the operation terminal 12, in which case the operating terminal 12 processes information processing of the present invention. It will function as a device.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when a plurality of players jointly play a game, the method of communicating with the operation terminal 12 of each player may be a method via a server 10 (client-server method), and the server 10 may be used. A P2P (peer-to-peer) method that does not use a device may be used. In the case of the P2P method, a plurality of operation terminals 12 communicating with each other cooperate to form the information processing apparatus of the present invention.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the server 10 (specifically, the time zone changing unit 40) can change the time zone in which the specific quest can be played from the predetermined time zone according to the instruction of the target player. bottom. Specifically, in the above-described embodiment, the time zone changing unit 40 adds a time zone other than the specified time zone to the playable time zone of the specific quest by using the predetermined item by the target player. Or to extend the specified time zone.
However, the method of changing the time zone in which a specific quest can be played is not limited to the above case, and another method can be considered. For example, information may be acquired regarding the time zone in which the target player plays the specific quest, and the playable time zone of each specific quest may be changed based on the acquired information.
More specifically, among the plurality of specific quests A, B, and C, the specific quest that has been played by the target player for a shorter time is the first quest, and the specific quest that has been played by the target player for a longer time is the first quest. 2 quests. Here, the first quest and the second quest are determined by reflecting the lifestyle (daily behavior) of the target player. For example, a specific quest that the target player cannot normally play corresponds to the first quest. The specific quest that you normally play corresponds to the second quest. When certain conditions are met, the time zone changing unit 40 of the server 10 changes the playable time zone of the first quest based on the specified time zone of the second quest, for example, the specified time zone of the second quest. It may be changed to the same time zone as. In this way, it is possible to prevent the specific quests played by the target player from being biased, and to have the target player play a plurality of specific quests A, B, and C evenly.

Alternatively, the first quest is a specific quest in which the rack value of any of the specific characters given to the target player has not yet reached the upper limit, and the rack value of at least one of the specific characters given to the target player is set. When the specific quest that has reached the upper limit is set as the second quest, the time zone change unit 40 may change the playable time zone of the first quest to the same time zone as the specified time zone of the second quest. good. Also in this case, it is possible to have the target player play a plurality of specific quests A, B, and C evenly.

[summary]
The information processing apparatus of the present invention has a first granting section and a second granting section. The first granting unit selects an object (specifically, a specific character) corresponding to a specific quest cleared by the target player from among a plurality of specific quests whose playable time zone is set within a predetermined period. It is given to the target player every time the game is cleared. The second granting unit rewards (specifically, the rack value) when the total value of the predetermined parameters (specifically, the rack value) of the objects given to the target player each time the specific quest is cleared reaches the condition value within the predetermined period. Specifically, a special reward) is given to the target player.
According to the above configuration, when the target player repeatedly plays and clears a plurality of specific quests within a predetermined period, the total value of the predetermined parameters of the object given as the reward increases, and the total value becomes the condition value. You can get special rewards by reaching it. As a result, the motivation of the target player to repeatedly play the specific quest can be maintained satisfactorily for a predetermined period.

Further, the information processing apparatus of the present invention may further include a parameter changing unit. The parameter change unit sets the predetermined parameters of one object among the objects given to the target player, or the predetermined parameters of the derived object (derivative character) derived from the one object, to the same type of object as the one object. Use to increase. In this case, the first granting unit grants a normal reward including at least an object to the target player who has cleared the specific quest, and when the target player clears the specific quest using one object or a derivative object, one It is advisable to give a fixed number of normal rewards based on predetermined parameters of one object or a derived object.
Further, in the above configuration, during a predetermined period, the number of normal rewards obtained by clearing a specific quest using one object or a derived object whose predetermined parameter has reached the upper limit is given by clearing the specific quest. It is more preferable that the number of objects (general characters) other than the objects to be used is larger than the number of normal rewards obtained by clearing a specific quest using other objects whose predetermined parameters have reached the upper limit. .. In this case, the effect of maintaining good motivation of the target player to repeatedly play the specific quest becomes more meaningful.
That is, in the above configuration, by repeatedly playing a specific quest during a predetermined period, in addition to obtaining a special reward, there is an advantage that the number of normal rewards when clearing the specific quest increases. Under the above configuration in which such an advantage is obtained, the effect of the present invention that the motivation of the target player to repeatedly play a specific quest can be maintained becomes more meaningful.

Further, the information processing device of the present invention may further have a recommendation unit that recommends a recommended quest among a plurality of specific quests to the target player. In this case, the recommendation unit may aggregate the predetermined parameters of the objects given to the target player for each type of the object, and set a specific quest corresponding to the type of the object having a smaller aggregated value as the recommended quest. This makes it possible to set recommended quests from the viewpoint of having the target player play each of a plurality of specific quests evenly, and it is less likely that the target player will get bored compared to the case where a single specific quest is repeatedly played. Can be done.

Alternatively, the above-mentioned recommendation unit may specify the time required for the target player to clear the specific quest for each of the plurality of specific quests, and set the specific quest with the shorter required time as the recommended quest. In this case, since the recommended quest can be set from the viewpoint of efficiently increasing the total rack value, the target player can obtain the special reward more efficiently by repeatedly playing the recommended quest.

Alternatively, the above-mentioned recommendation unit may total the number of times a plurality of players including the target player have cleared each of a plurality of specific quests for each specific quest, and set a specific quest having a larger total value as a recommended quest. .. In this case, since the specific quest cleared by more players is set as the recommended quest, the target player efficiently increases the total rack value and efficiently rewards the special reward by repeatedly playing the recommended quest. Can be obtained.

Further, the information processing apparatus of the present invention may further have a parameter determination unit. The parameter determination unit can determine a predetermined parameter of the object to be given to the target player each time the first granting unit clears a specific quest within a predetermined numerical range. In this case, the predetermined parameter of the object given to the target player each time the specific quest is cleared is an appropriate value within a predetermined numerical range (specifically, a value suitable for causing the target player to repeatedly play the specific quest). Can be decided.

Further, in the above configuration, the parameter determination unit determines a predetermined parameter of the object to be given to the target player according to the number of times the target player has cleared a specific quest corresponding to the above object within a predetermined numerical range. be able to. In this case, the predetermined parameter of the object given when each specific quest is cleared can be changed according to the number of times each specific quest is cleared. As a result, for example, for an object given when a specific quest with a large number of clears is cleared, the motivation of the target player to repeatedly play the specific quest is effectively increased by increasing the predetermined parameter. It can be aroused.

Further, in the above configuration, a plurality of playable time zones (specifically, a predetermined time zone) may be predetermined for each of the plurality of specific quests within a predetermined period. In this case, the parameter determination unit clears the predetermined parameter of the object given to the target player within a predetermined numerical range and the target player clears the specific quest corresponding to the object within one time zone (specified time zone). It can be decided according to. As a result, for the object given when clearing a specific quest that has been cleared many times within one time zone (specified time zone), let's play the specific quest repeatedly by increasing the predetermined parameter etc. It is possible to effectively arouse the motivation of the target player.

Further, in the above configuration, the parameter determination unit weights each of the plurality of specific quests based on the time zone in which the target player plays the specific quest and the playable time zone of each of the plurality of specific quests. May be set. In this case, the parameter determination unit can determine a predetermined parameter of the object to be given to the target player within a predetermined numerical range according to the weight of the specific quest corresponding to the object. By setting the weight for each specific quest in this way, it is possible to adjust the priority when the target player repeatedly plays each specific quest during a predetermined period. As a result, for example, if the weight of each specific quest is set evenly, each of the plurality of specific quests can be played evenly by the target player, or if the weight for one specific quest is set larger, the weight is concerned. You can give priority to the target player to play a specific quest.

Further, the information processing apparatus of the present invention may further have a screen display unit. In this case, the screen display unit can display a screen showing a predetermined parameter of the object given to the target player when the target player clears the specific quest next time on the terminal of the target player. In this way, if the predetermined parameters of the object given when the specific quest is cleared next can be confirmed, the motivation of the target player to repeatedly play the specific quest can be maintained more effectively. ..

Further, the information processing apparatus of the present invention may further have an authority management unit that eliminates the authority to use the object given to the target player based on the instruction of the target player. In this case, the second granting unit receives a reward when the total value of all the predetermined parameters of the object granted to the target player reaches the condition value within the predetermined period regardless of the presence or absence of the usage authority. It is preferable to give it to. As a result, even if there is an object that has lost its usage authority due to, for example, sale, it is possible to prevent the target player from being treated unfavorably in the scene of determining whether or not the reward is given.

Further, in the information processing apparatus of the present invention, when the target player clears the specific quest corresponding to the one object after the predetermined parameter of one object or a derived object derived from the one object reaches the upper limit value. In addition, the first granting unit may grant an object of the same type as the one object to the target player.
In the above configuration, the second granting unit is all of the objects given to the target player including the object of the same type as the one object after the predetermined parameter of one object or its derived object reaches the upper limit value. The total value of the predetermined parameters of is obtained, and when the total value reaches the condition value within the predetermined period, the reward may be given to the target player. In such a case, even after the predetermined parameter of one object or its derivative object reaches the upper limit value, if the specific quest corresponding to the one object is cleared, the rack value will be increased according to the number of clears. Since the total value increases, the motivation of the target player to repeatedly play a specific quest can be maintained better.

Alternatively, in the above configuration, the second granting unit is of the same type as the above-mentioned one object among the objects granted to the target player after the predetermined parameter of one object or its derived object reaches the upper limit value. Except for objects whose predetermined parameters do not reach the upper limit value, the total value of the predetermined parameters of the objects may be obtained, and a reward may be given to the target player when the total value reaches the condition value within the predetermined period. In such a case, after the predetermined parameter of one object or its derivative object reaches the upper limit value, the object of the same type as the above one object whose predetermined parameter does not reach the upper limit value is subject to the summation of the rack values. Will not be included in. In this way, each of the plurality of specific quests can be evenly played by the target player.

Further, the information processing device of the present invention may further have a time zone changing unit for changing the playable time zone of the specific quest from the predetermined time zone. In this case, the specified time zones of the plurality of specific quests may be different from each other among the specific quests. In addition, among the plurality of specific quests, the time zone changing unit sets the specific quest that has been played by the target player for a shorter time as the first quest, and the specific quest that has been played by the target player for a longer time as the second quest. As a quest, the playable time zone of the first quest can be changed based on the specified time zone of the second quest. As a result, for example, the playable time zone of the specific quest (first quest) that the target player cannot normally play is set to the play time zone of the specific quest (second quest) that the target player normally plays. Can be changed to. As a result, each of the plurality of specific quests can be evenly played by the target player.

Further, in the information processing method of the present invention, the computer clears a specific quest by clearing an object corresponding to the specific quest cleared by the target player among a plurality of specific quests whose playable time zone is set within a predetermined period. When the total value of the predetermined parameters of the objects given to the target player each time the specific quest is cleared reaches the condition value within the predetermined period, the computer gives the reward to the target player.
