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

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

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

  The user terminal 100 (computer, information processing apparatus) may be a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, a feature phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or a tablet computer. The user terminal 100 may be a game device suitable for game play. As illustrated, the user terminal 100 includes a processor 10, a memory 11, a storage 12, a communication interface (IF) 13, an input / output IF 14, a touch screen 15 (display unit), a camera 17, and a distance measuring sensor 18. With. These components included in the user terminal 100 are electrically connected to each other via a communication bus. Note that the user terminal 100 may include an input / output IF 14 capable of connecting a display (display unit) configured separately from the user terminal 100 main body instead of or in addition to the touch screen 15.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may be configured to be able to communicate with one or more controllers 1020. For example, the controller 1020 establishes communication with the user terminal 100 in accordance with a communication standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). The controller 1020 may have one or more buttons and the like, and transmits an output value based on a user input operation to the buttons and the like to the user terminal 100. The controller 1020 may include various sensors such as an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor, and transmits output values of the various sensors to the user terminal 100.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<Game overview>
The game executed by the game system 1 includes a step of executing a selection for determining a game object to be given to the user based on a predetermined rule.

  The game in this embodiment is not limited in the range using a game object. Examples of games include sports-themed games, puzzle games, quiz games, RPG, adventure games, shooting games, simulation games, breeding games, and action games. Examples of sports-themed games include tennis, table tennis, dodgeball, baseball, soccer and hockey. The play mode of the game in this embodiment is not limited. For example, the play mode may be a single play by a single user or a multi-play by a plurality of users. In addition, the multiplayer may be a battle play in which a plurality of users compete or may be a cooperative play in which a plurality of users cooperate. In the following embodiments, a puzzle game that progresses for each stage having a predetermined task is assumed.

  The game object is not limited as long as the user can use it in the game. Examples of game objects may be in-game values displayed with coins, tickets, jewels, etc., or may be characters used directly by the user for operations in the game. Items such as weapons to be used, techniques, etc. may be used. In the following embodiment, a character used in a puzzle game is assumed. This character is designed in a form reminiscent of a spherical capsule, and is used for the progress of each stage in the puzzle game by the user.

  In the step of executing selection, a game object to be given to the user is selected from a plurality of game objects including a specific game object based on a predetermined rule. The predetermined rule may be set as appropriate. In the following embodiments, a mode in which a game object is randomly selected based on a winning probability specific to the game object will be described as a predetermined rule. In this embodiment, the mode of selection is also referred to as “lottery”, and the step of executing the above selection is also referred to as “lottery step”.

  The specific game object can be set from a plurality of game objects that can be used in the game. The specific game object may have a higher degree of rarity relative to other game objects, and may be a part of a plurality of game objects having the highest degree of rarity. It may be a game object added to. Note that the rarity represents a high value for advantageous advancement of the game. Which of the plurality of game objects is set as a specific game object may change depending on the time. In the following embodiments, the specific game object is assumed to be two types of capsules that are newly added to the game and have a high degree of rarity among the capsules.

  In the game in the present embodiment, the step of executing selection (lottery) is executed again in a specific case. The specific case here refers to the case where the result of the lottery does not include a specific game object, and the case where the user cancels the result of the lottery and performs an operation for instructing the lottery. It is. In this specification, the step of executing the lottery step again is also referred to as “re-lottery step”. Further, the selection (lottery) including the lottery step that may include the re-lottery step is also referred to as “redoable lottery”.

  The number of executions of the redrawing step is not limited. In the following embodiment, it is assumed that the number of executions of the re-lottery step is not limited, and the lottery step can be repeatedly executed until a specific game object is included in the lottery result in the lottery step.

  In the game of the present embodiment, the method of ending the lottery step can be appropriately determined within a range in which the re-lottery step is executed at least once when a specific game object is not selected in the lottery step. . In the following embodiment, it is assumed that the lottery step ends in two cases.

  The first case is a case where a specific game object is included in the lottery result of the lottery step. In this case, the game system 1 executes a step of determining a specific game object included in the lottery result as a game object to be given to the user.

  The second case is a case where the user performs an operation that does not include a specific game object in the lottery result and recognizes another game object included in the lottery result as the lottery result. In this case, the game system 1 executes a step of determining another game object included in the lottery result as a game object to be given to the user.

  Note that the total number of game objects selected as a result of the lottery in the lottery step is not limited, and may be one or more. The breakdown of game objects selected as a result of the lottery in the lottery step is not limited. For example, the number of specific game objects and other game objects may be singular or plural. In the following embodiments, it is assumed that a plurality of game objects are selected as game objects to be given to the user in the lottery step, and the total number of game objects selected as a result of the lottery in the lottery step is 6.

  The number of game objects given to the user as a result of the lottery step is not limited. That is, the game object that is given to the game object by the lottery step may be a part or all of the selected game object. The method of determining the game object to be given to the user in the case where a part of the selected game object is given to the user is not limited. In the following embodiment, when a specific game object is included in the lottery result, and other game objects that are not included in the lottery result but are included in the lottery result When the user performs an operation recognized as a result, in any case, it is assumed that all (six) game objects included in the lottery result are determined as game objects to be given to the user.

  The game of this embodiment may include further restrictions on performing the re-lottery step. For example, the period during which the re-lottery step can be executed, i.e., the period during which a user receives an operation to instruct the cancellation of the lottery result and the re-lottery when a specific game object is not included in the lottery result is limited. May be.

  In addition, in one aspect of the present invention, as a further limitation, the number of times that the user can execute the redrawable lottery itself may be limited. In the following embodiment, it is assumed that the number of times is one.

  Moreover, in one aspect of the present invention, as a further restriction, the qualification of a user who can execute a redoable lottery may be defined. For example, only a user within a predetermined period after playing a game for the first time may be able to execute a redrawable lottery. Alternatively, only the user who has advanced the game to a predetermined stage may be able to execute a redrawable lottery. Alternatively, only a user who has provided a predetermined amount of in-game value in the game for execution of the redoable lottery may be able to execute the redoable lottery. In the following embodiment, it is assumed that only a user who has provided a predetermined number of in-game values in a game for redoable lottery execution can execute the redoable lottery. Further, it is assumed that the re-lottery step in the redoable lottery can be executed without further consumption of the in-game value.

  In the game of this embodiment, as described above, in the lottery step, a game object newly added as a game object that can be used by the user in the game is used as a specific game object in a predetermined period. The form of adding a new game object is not limited. For example, a newly added game object is stored in the storage unit 220 of the server 200, and is newly added as a specific game object, for example, by communication from the server 200 to the user terminal 100. Good. Alternatively, the newly added game object is already stored in the storage unit 120 of the user terminal 100 as data that cannot be used in the game, and can be used at a predetermined timing. Good.

  When the specific game object is a newly added game object, the number of other game objects other than the specific game object may be reduced according to the addition of the specific game object, or the specific game object It may be the same before and after adding an object. In this case, the total number of game objects is increased by the number of newly added specific game objects.

  In addition, when the period in which the redoable lottery can be executed (that is, the re-lottery step can be executed) is limited, the specific game object after the elapse of the period may be handled as another game object. In the following embodiment, in the lottery step, it is assumed that a specific game object during a predetermined period is used as another game object other than the specific game object after the predetermined period has elapsed. In this case, the conditions (for example, the above-described winning probability or rarity) set for a specific game object may be changed as appropriate after the period during which the re-lottery step can be performed, It may be the same. In the following embodiments, it is assumed that the setting conditions of a specific game object are not changed before and after the lapse of the period.

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

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

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

  In the present embodiment, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation between the user terminal 100 and the server 200. In addition, the game implement | achieved by cooperation with the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be a game performed on the browser started in the user terminal 100 as an example. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation of a plurality of user terminals 100. The various data includes data relating to the game such as user information and game information, and instructions or notifications transmitted / received between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 or between the plurality of user terminals 100.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  The storage unit 120 and the storage unit 220 store a game program 131, game information 132, and user information 133. The game program 131 is a game program that is executed by the user terminal 100 and the server 200. The game information 132 is data that the control unit 110 and the control unit 210 refer to when executing the game program 131. The user information 133 is data relating to the user account. In the storage unit 220, game information 222 and user information 223 are stored for each user terminal 100.

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

  The control unit 210 functions as the lottery unit 211 according to the description of the game program 131. The control unit 210 can also function as other functional blocks (not shown) in order to support the progress of the game on the user terminal 100 according to the nature of the game to be executed.

  In response to a request from the user terminal 100, the lottery unit 211 selects a game object to be given to the user based on a winning probability unique to the game object.

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

  The control unit 110 serves as an operation reception unit 111, a display control unit 112, a user interface (hereinafter referred to as UI) control unit 113, an animation generation unit 114, a puzzle progression unit 115, and a lottery management unit 116 in accordance with the description of the game program 131. Function. The control unit 110 can also function as other functional blocks (not shown) in order to advance the game according to the nature of the game to be executed.

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

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

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

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

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

  The puzzle advancing unit 115 generates a play screen for playing the puzzle. Moreover, the puzzle progress part 115 advances a puzzle according to operation with respect to a play screen. Moreover, the puzzle progress part 115 will calculate the play result showing the result in the play, etc., if one play of a puzzle is complete | finished. It should be noted that one play of the puzzle refers to one play unit determined in the puzzle game.

  The lottery management unit 116 requests the server 200 to execute a lottery in response to a user input, receives a lottery result from the server 200, and executes determination and determination.

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

<Outline of the puzzle game>
Hereinafter, the puzzle game of the embodiment will be specifically described. FIG. 3A is an example of a puzzle screen displayed by the puzzle progression unit 115. This puzzle screen is constituted by a board surface including a plurality of puzzle elements 301 and an injection table 302. The plurality of puzzle elements 301 are arranged in the board surface. Each puzzle element 301 displays one of a plurality of types of characters. Any of the character elements 303 can be set on the injection table 302. The character element 303 set on the ejection stand 302 corresponds to the capsule described above.

  When the character element 303 on the ejection stand 302 is operated, the puzzle advancing unit 115 ejects the character element 303 to collide with at least a part of the plurality of puzzle elements 301, and in response to the collision, the plurality of puzzle elements The arrangement of 301 is changed. At this time, if a plurality of puzzle elements 301 in which a character of the same type as the ejected character element 303 is displayed among a plurality of puzzle elements 301 are continuously arranged in a predetermined number or more, the puzzle advancing unit 115 causes the puzzles to move. Element 301 is removed from the board. Further, the puzzle progression unit 115 calculates a play result according to the removed puzzle element 301. The play result is represented, for example, by the number (number of chains) of the same kind of puzzle elements 301 removed continuously.

  Here, the character element 303 that can be set on the injection table 302 is one of capsules (also referred to as “characters”) held by the user. For example, the puzzle advancing unit 115 may display a selection screen in which a character element 303 to be set on the injection table 302 can be selected from the list 304 of characters held.

  FIG. 3B is an example of the selection screen. The selection screen includes a list 304 of owned characters. In this example, the list 304 includes three characters “tier”, “heart”, and “Luna”. In the list 304, the outline of the graphic indicating “tier” is a thick line, indicating that the character is selected. Further, the selection screen includes a parameter display 305 regarding the selected character. Further, the selection screen includes a “set” button 306 for instructing to set the character element 303 of the selected character on the injection table 302.

  In this example, the parameter display 305 displays that the level is 23 and the scoring unit price is 454 as parameters relating to “tier”. The level is set to an initial value (for example, 1) when the character is first given to the user. Also, the level is increased according to the cumulative score during play by the character, for example. Further, the level is increased when, for example, the same character as the character is given to the user. The score unit price is the unit price of the score when removed from the board in play. The scoring unit price increases as the level increases. When the user acquires a character, a new character is added to the list 304 of such a selection screen. Alternatively, if the acquired character class is a character already acquired by the user, the level of the character is increased.

<Outline of character>
Hereinafter, the lottery in the embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this lottery, as described above, six characters are selected. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a list of rarity levels and winning probabilities selected in the lottery step according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  Characters selected by lottery include those having rarity and those not having. There are four types of characters having a rarity S: “Robo”, “Bear”, “Tier”, and “Heart”. Other characters do not have rarity. The winning probability of the character having the rarity S in the lottery is, for example, 1%, which is set lower than that of the character not having the rarity (5%).

  Among the characters having the rarity S, “Robo” and “Bear” are new characters and correspond to the “specific game object” described above. Below “Tier” are existing characters, which correspond to the “other game objects” described above. Hereinafter, “Robo” and “Bear” are also referred to as “New S Character”, and “Tear” and “Heart” are also referred to as “Old S Character”.

  “Tier” and “Heart” are characters added during a predetermined period (also referred to as “the previous additional period”) before the period when “Robo” and “Bear” are added. Although it was a new S character in the period, it is a normal S character now after the previous additional period. New S characters ("Robo" and "Bear") added in the redoable lottery are added to normal characters after a predetermined period in which the redoable lottery is performed. Thus, characters are newly added in the puzzle game in the present embodiment.

<Processing flow for redrawable lottery>
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing executed by the user terminal 100 and the server 200 based on the game program 131 for the redo selectionable lottery according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  In step S501, the operation reception unit 111 determines whether a lottery operation from the user has been received.

  When it is confirmed that the operation reception unit 111 has received a lottery operation from the user, the lottery management unit 116 requests the server 200 to execute the lottery in step S502.

  In step S503, the lottery unit 211 executes a lottery. Thus, the lottery unit 211 randomly selects six characters from among all the characters based on the winning probabilities unique to the characters.

  In step S504, the lottery unit 211 notifies the user terminal 100 of the selected character.

  In step S <b> 505, the display control unit 112 displays all characters notified from the server 200 on the display unit 152.

  In step S506, the lottery management unit 116 determines whether or not the user has a qualification to execute a redrawable lottery. For example, the lottery management unit 116 determines whether or not the input of the lottery operation from the user has been performed within a predetermined period during which a redoable lottery is possible.

  In the case of YES in step S506, in step S507, the lottery management unit 116 determines whether or not the number of times that the user executes the redoable lottery is the first time (the redoable lottery is the first time for the user).

  If YES in step S507, in step S508, the lottery management unit 116 determines whether the notified character includes a new S character.

  As described above, the period in which the redoable lottery is possible or the number of times the redoable lottery can be executed is limited, so that the motivation for the user to execute the redoable lottery to obtain a new S character is enhanced. It is done. In addition, due to the successful experience in the lottery under such limited conditions, the user's interest in enhancing the game's interest by acquiring the lottery result even for other lottery conditions that cannot be redone Expectation is enhanced. As a result, not only the selection that can be selected again, but also the motivation to do it for the entire lottery in the game is further enhanced.

  In the case of YES in step S508, in step S510, the lottery management unit 116 determines the notified six characters as a lottery result by redo that can be redone, and associates information representing the characters with the user in the storage units 120 and 220. Remember me. Thus, if the new S character is included in the lottery step, the game system 1 forcibly ends the redoable lottery and determines the character to be given to the user.

  The input operation for confirming the lottery that can be redone by the user is omitted by the method for determining the character given to the user. Further, such restrictions in the redoable lottery (the lottery ends when a new S character is selected) make the game more interesting.

  In the case of NO in step S508, in step S509, the operation reception unit 111 determines whether an operation instructing a re-lottery step from the user has been received.

  If YES in step S509, the process returns to step S502, the lottery management unit 116 requests the server 200 to perform a lottery, and the lottery unit 211 performs the lottery again.

  Thus, in this embodiment, if the new S character is included in the lottery result, the redrawable lottery is terminated, and if the new S character is not included in the lottery result, the lottery step is redone by the user's intention. . For this reason, the user can obtain an opportunity to acquire a new S character again, and the possibility of acquiring a desired character increases. Therefore, satisfaction with the redoable lottery is enhanced, and the user can enjoy the redoable lottery more. Moreover, the successful experience of acquiring a desired character can reduce the urge to perform a lottery that cannot be redone. Therefore, it is possible to enhance motivation to execute not only a redrawable lottery but also a lottery with other conditions.

  In addition, the lottery step can be repeated any number of times when the new S character is not included in the lottery result and the user executes the lottery step again. Thus, since the lottery step can be repeatedly executed until the new S character is included in the lottery result, the user can surely acquire the new S character by the lottery step. Therefore, a sense of security with respect to the result of the lottery and the pleasure of performing the lottery are enhanced, and as a result, the motivation to perform the lottery not only with the redoable lottery but with other conditions is enhanced.

  On the other hand, if NO in step S509, the process proceeds to step S510, and the lottery management unit 116 determines the notified six characters as the lottery results as described above. In this way, even if the new S character is not included, if the user does not perform the re-lottery step, the game system 1 ends the redrawable lottery according to the user's intention and determines the character to be given to the user. Accordingly, the user can acquire another character (such as the old S character) that is desired to be equal to or higher than the new S character as a result of the redrawable lottery. Therefore, the pleasure of executing a redoable lottery is further enhanced, and the motivation for executing a lottery of other conditions is further enhanced.

  In the case where the user's input of the lottery operation is not within the predetermined period in step S506, and in the case where the execution of the redoable lottery is performed for the user for the second time or more in step S507, the user terminal 100 displays the notified six characters. Regardless of whether or not a new S character is included, in step S510, the notified six characters are determined as a lottery result as described above. In addition, the order of step S506-step S509 is not limited to the order of this embodiment, It may be performed in any order and may be performed simultaneously.

<Example of screen in redoable lottery>
6A and 6B are diagrams illustrating an example of a screen for accepting an input operation of a redoable lottery in the present embodiment. The screen 600 is displayed with, for example, a top screen of a puzzle game as a background, and touching a UI for executing a redoable lottery on the top screen.

  The UI for performing a redoable lottery displays that the redoable lottery is possible by, for example, consuming 50 gems that are in-game values. When the user selects to execute a redrawable lottery by the UI, 50 jewels are consumed from the game-value jewels owned by the user, and the screen 600 is displayed.

  The screen 600 includes an operation button 601. The operation button 601 is a UI for the user to input an instruction for a redoable lottery operation. When the user touches the operation button 601, the display control unit 112 displays a screen 610 shown in FIG. 6B on the touch screen 15.

  Screen 610 includes a window 611. Window 611 includes a message that prompts the user to confirm execution of the redoable lottery, an operation button 612 for confirming the execution of the redoable lottery, and an operation button 613 for canceling the execution of the redoable lottery. It is out. When the user touches the operation button 612, a redoable lottery is executed. When the user touches the operation button 613, the instruction to execute a redoable lottery is canceled, and the display control unit 112 displays a screen 600, for example.

<When a new S character is selected in the lottery step>
When the user touches the operation button 612, the server 200 requested to execute the lottery from the user terminal 100 executes a lottery step for selecting six characters, and notifies the user terminal 100 of the result. The user terminal 100 notified of the lottery result causes the display control unit 112 to display six characters that are the result of the lottery.

  FIG. 7A is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen that displays each of the characters selected in the lottery step. FIG. 7B is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen that displays a list of six characters selected in the lottery step. FIG. 7C is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen that displays the end of the redoable lottery due to the selection of a new S character in the redoable lottery.

  The user terminal 100 causes the display control unit 112 to display the notified six characters with an image having a visual effect as if the character notified from the server 200 is selected by lottery on the spot. Such a display is preferable from the viewpoint of enhancing the pleasure of the user performing a lottery.

  First, the display control unit 112 displays each of the six characters by lottery notified from the server 200 on the screen 700 as shown in FIG. The screen 700 includes representative features 703 such as a selected character 701, a name 702 of the character, and a rarity level and old and new of the character. FIG. 7A shows an example in which “bear” as a new S character is displayed as an example of the screen 700. The display control unit 112 displays the screen 710 after displaying each of the six characters.

  A screen 710 is a screen that displays a list of lottery results. The screen 710 includes information 711 to 716 of characters selected by lottery and operation buttons 717. The character information 711 to 716 includes, for example, a picture of each character selected by lottery and its name. Character information 711 to 716 represents “tier”, “star”, “heart”, “sun”, “luna”, and “bear”, respectively. “Tear” and “Heart” are old S characters, and “Bear” is a new S character. The display control unit 112 specifies only the character information 716 of the new S character “bear” among the characters selected in the lottery step by, for example, decorating with a star.

  The operation button 717 is a UI for an operation for requesting confirmation by the user of the character selected by the lottery. When the user terminal 100 detects information that the user touches the operation button 717, the user terminal 100 causes the display control unit 112 to display a screen 720.

  Screen 720 is a screen in the case where the lottery step is completed when a new S character is selected. Screen 720 includes a window 721. Window 721 includes a message indicating that the lottery step is completed and operation button 722. The operation button 722 is a UI for an operation for returning to the top screen. When detecting the information that the user touches the operation button 722, the user terminal 100 determines the displayed six characters as the characters to be given to the user, and changes the screen from the screen 720 to the screen 600. Let them switch. Since the user can acquire the new S character newly appearing in the game as a result of the redoable lottery, the enjoyment of executing the redoable lottery is further enhanced, and the motivation is further enhanced.

<If a new S character is not selected in the lottery step>
FIG. 8A is a diagram illustrating another example of a screen that displays each of the characters selected in the lottery step. FIG. 8B is a diagram illustrating another example of a screen displaying a list of six characters selected in the lottery step. The screen 800 is the same as the screen 700 except that the old S character “Tier” is displayed. That is, the screen 800 includes a character 801, a name 802 of the character, and a representative feature 803 of the character. Then, similarly to the case where a new S character is selected in the lottery step, the display control unit 112 causes the display unit 152 to individually display each character selected in the lottery step, and then causes the screen 810 to be displayed.

  The screen 810 is a screen that displays a list of lottery results, similar to the screen 710, and is different from the image 710 in that a new S character is not included. The image 810 includes information 811 to 816 of characters selected by lottery and operation buttons 817. Character information 811 to 816 represents “tier”, “star”, “heart”, “sun”, “Luna”, and “cloud”, respectively. “Tier” and “Heart” are old S characters and have a rarity S, but no new S character is selected in this lottery step. Therefore, on the screen 810, the character information 811 to 816 is not decorated with stars. When the user terminal 100 detects information that the user touches the operation button 817, the user terminal 100 displays the screen 900 on the display control unit 112.

  FIG. 9A is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen for accepting the operation of the re-lottery step. FIG. 9B is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen for determining a lottery result that does not include a new S character. The image 900 includes a window 901. Window 901 includes a message asking whether or not to execute the re-lottery step, and operation buttons 902 and 903. The operation button 902 is a UI for the user to instruct execution of the re-lottery step, and the operation button 903 is a UI for the user to instruct not to execute the re-lottery step.

  Here, when the user desires to acquire a new S character, the user can execute the re-lottery step and select to execute the lottery step again. As long as the new S character is not included in the lottery result, the user can execute the re-lottery step any number of times without consuming in-game value jewels.

  Alternatively, the user can determine a lottery result that does not include the new S character. As described above, “tier” and “heart” are added to the previous additional period, and are new S characters of the previous redoable lottery in the previous additional period. Further, in the puzzle game, since characters are added, the total number of characters increases. Therefore, even if the individual winning probability of the character is constant, it may become difficult to acquire the character by lottery as the addition of the character is repeated. Thus, for example, a user who could not acquire “tier” in the previous redoable lottery wants to acquire “tier”, which is now an old S character, at or above the new S character. There is.

  Thus, since the new S character in the previous redoable lottery is used as the normal lottery object (old S character) of the current redoable lottery, the winning probability of the old S character due to the addition of the character is substantially reduced. descend. Therefore, the rare value of the old S character in the redoable lottery is increased. Therefore, since the user can expect to acquire such a valuable character, the user can more enjoy the execution of the redoable lottery, and the motivation for executing the redoable lottery is further enhanced.

  When the user terminal 100 detects information that the user touches the operation button 902, the user terminal 100 causes the lottery management unit 116 to discard the previous lottery result and to execute the lottery step again. In this case, the display control unit 112 displays the screen of FIG. 7 (A) or FIG. 8 (A) depending on whether or not the selected character includes a new S character, so that the lottery step is performed again. Display the result of.

  On the other hand, when the operation reception unit 111 detects information that the user touches the operation button 903, the display control unit 112 causes the display unit 152 to display the screen 910.

  Screen 910 includes a window 911. Window 911 includes a message to confirm the lottery result and operation buttons 912 and 913. The operation button 912 is a UI for an operation of selecting to confirm the lottery result that does not include the new S character. The operation button 913 is a UI for an operation for canceling confirmation of the lottery result. When the user touches the operation button 912, the user terminal 100 determines the displayed six characters as characters to be given to the user, and the display control unit 112 switches the screen 910 to, for example, the screen 600.

  In this way, the user obtains all six characters notified (displayed) as a result of the lottery in the lottery step as a result of the redoable lottery regardless of whether or not the re-lottery step is executed. Therefore, the user can also expect the effect of making the game progress more advantageously by a character other than the target, so that it is possible to more enjoy playing the redoable lottery. In addition, since there is a possibility that an unexpected effect may be brought about in the progress of the game by a character other than the target, the interest of the game is further enhanced.

  When the user touches the operation button 913, the display control unit 112 displays the screen 900 on the display unit 152. The user can redo the lottery step from the screen 900.

[Modification]
The above embodiment is a redoable lottery by adding a specific new character, but the redoable lottery may be sequentially set for the added new character every predetermined period when the new character is added. .

  In the above-described embodiment, the “predetermined rule” that serves as a reference for selecting a game object in the lottery step is set to “a winning probability unique to the game object”, but is not limited thereto. For example, the “predetermined rule” may select a predetermined game object from a plurality of game objects in a specific order.

  In addition, the winning probability in the embodiment of the present invention may not always be constant. For example, when six characters are selected in the lottery step, five characters are selected based on the winning probability unique to the character. For the remaining one, one character is selected from a new S character having a higher winning probability and an old S character having a normal winning probability. As described above, the lottery step may be set and executed based on the condition that the new S character is more easily selected.

  In addition, the winning probability in the embodiment may be changed in association with the execution of the re-lottery step so as to increase the winning probability as the number of re-lottery steps increases, for example.

  In the above-described embodiment, consumption of a predetermined amount of gems that are in-game values is one of the conditions for executing a redoable lottery. The in-game value consumed in this case may be obtained by the user without purchasing the game in accordance with the execution of the game, but may be limited to the one purchased by the user.

  In the above-described embodiment, the number of times that the user can execute the redrawable lottery itself is set to one time, but may be a plurality of times. For example, the number of times may be once every lottery period of a redoable lottery that is set every time a new character is added.

Can be.

  (Item 4) In (Item 1) or (Item 2), the game program (131) does not include a specific game object in the selection result, and selects another game object included in the selection result. When the user performs an operation recognized as a result, the processor further executes a step of determining another game object included in the selection result as a game object to be given to the user. Thereby, when the user wants another game object equal to or higher than the specific game object, the possibility that the user can acquire another game object desired by the user as a result of selection can be sufficiently increased. . Therefore, the pleasure of making the selection can be further enhanced, and the motivation for making the selection can be further enhanced.

  (Item 5) In (Item 3) or (Item 4), the game program (131) selects a plurality of game objects as game objects to be given to the user in the step of executing selection, and selects in the step of determining. When a specific game object is included in the result of the selection, or the user does not include the specific game object in the selection result, and the user recognizes another game object included in the selection result as the selection result. When it is performed, all the game objects included in the selection result are determined as game objects to be given to the user. As a result, the user can acquire other game objects in addition to a specific game object or other game object of interest, and can acquire a game object expected to advance the game more advantageously. Sex is further enhanced. Therefore, the pleasure that the user performs the lottery is further enhanced, and the fun of the game is further enhanced.

  (Item 6) In any one item from (Item 1) to (Item 5), when the selection result does not include a specific game object, an operation for instructing the user to cancel and reselect the selection result The period for accepting is limited. Thereby, the user can try to acquire a specific game object or another game object comparable thereto by reselection in a limited period of time. Therefore, in order to obtain a specific game object, it is possible to further increase the motivation to make a selection within a limited period. In addition, the fact that the above-mentioned period is limited also means that the selection can be made again, even if the selection is based on other conditions that cannot be selected again due to the successful experience of the above selection in the limited period. The user's expectation that the interest of the game is enhanced by acquiring the selection result is enhanced. As a result, not only the selection that can be selected again but also the motivation to perform the selection that cannot be selected again can be further enhanced.

  (Item 7) In any one item from (Item 1) to (Item 6), the game program (131) is newly added as a game object usable by the user in the game in the step of executing selection. A game object is used as a specific game object in a predetermined period. Thereby, it is possible to sufficiently increase the possibility that the user can acquire a game object newly appearing in the game as a specific game object as a result of selection. Therefore, the pleasure by selection can be further enhanced, and the motivation for making the selection can be further enhanced.

  (Item 8) In (Item 7), in the step of executing the selection, the game program (131) selects a specific game object during a predetermined period other than the specific game object after the predetermined period has elapsed. Used as a game object. Since a specific game object becomes another game object after a predetermined period of time, the winning probability is usually substantially lowered each time a new specific game object is added. Therefore, the rarity value in the selection of other game objects that were previously specific game objects is increased, and the enjoyment of performing the selection of the user who expects to acquire such other game objects is further enhanced. Therefore, the motivation for making the selection can be further increased.
