In particular, as the game progresses, an input operation for drawing a lottery is accepted from the user, and the parameters of the game character are changed by associating with a quest, game character, or game character that can be played by the user according to the lottery result. The present invention relates to a technique for making a user available for an item to be used, an item that exhibits an effect by consumption, and other additional contents.
　特許文献１には、ユーザが仮想通貨を支払うことによってゲームカード等のゲーム媒体を取得するための抽選ゲームを行うことができる技術が開示されている。 Patent Document 1 discloses a technology that allows a user to perform a lottery game for acquiring a game medium such as a game card by paying virtual currency.
　また、ゲームの進行に伴いゲームキャラクタを順次登場させていき、ユーザが使用可能なゲームキャラクタを徐々に増加させていくものにおいて、ゲームキャラクタをランダムにユーザに提供するものがある。例えば、下記のウェブサイト（非特許文献１）に示されるように、ロールプレイングゲームなどの例で、ユーザが敵モンスターキャラクタを撃破することで、撃破した敵モンスターキャラクタが一定確率でユーザの仲間になり、仲間になったモンスターキャラクタをユーザが使用可能にするものがある。ユーザは、例えば、使用可能なゲームキャラクタの中から、１または複数のゲームキャラクタを選択することでチーム（ゲームによっては、「パーティー」、「デッキ」等と称することもある）を編成してゲームを進行させる。 Also, there are games that randomly provide game characters to the user, in which game characters are made to appear sequentially as the game progresses and the number of game characters that can be used by the user is gradually increased. For example, as shown in the following website (Non-Patent Document 1), in an example such as a role playing game, the user destroys the enemy monster character so that the destroyed enemy monster character becomes a user's friend with a certain probability. There are those that allow a user to use a monster character that has become a friend. The user, for example, forms a team (sometimes referred to as “party”, “deck”, etc.) by selecting one or a plurality of game characters from among the available game characters. To advance.

For example, in addition to the case where a fixed amount of virtual currency is regularly given to the user as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a predetermined amount of virtual currency is granted by clearing a predetermined game stage, There is a method of giving a virtual currency of an amount corresponding to the amount of money to the user. In this case, it is required to ensure the fairness of the value of the virtual currency.
　また、ゲームのプレイを継続しているユーザほど、有償または無償で仮想通貨を獲得し、獲得した仮想通貨を消費して抽選を行う機会を得ることができる。しかし、抽選を行うかどうかはユーザの判断次第となるため、仮想通貨を有償で獲得したか無償で獲得したかにかかわらず、ユーザが仮想通貨の消費をためらうと、抽選によって得られる多様なゲーム展開をユーザが享受する機会を逸することになりうる。また、ゲームプログラムによっては、ゲームプログラムを提供する事業者の運用に伴って、抽選によって獲得できる追加コンテンツが入れ替わることがある。この場合、ユーザは、入れ替わりにより追加または削除される追加コンテンツの内容をも検討して抽選を行うことになるため、抽選により得られる多様なゲーム展開を享受する機会を逸することになりうる。 In addition, as the user continues to play the game, the virtual currency can be acquired for a fee or free of charge, and an opportunity to perform lottery by consuming the acquired virtual currency can be obtained. However, it is up to the user to decide whether or not to draw a lottery, so regardless of whether the virtual currency is paid for or free, a variety of games can be obtained by lottery if the user hesitates to consume the virtual currency. An opportunity for the user to enjoy the deployment can be missed. In addition, depending on the game program, additional content that can be acquired by lottery may be changed in accordance with the operation of the business provider that provides the game program. In this case, since the user performs a lottery by considering the contents of the additional content added or deleted by replacement, the user can miss the opportunity to enjoy various game developments obtained by the lottery.

　図９に示すように、ユーザがユーザ端末１００を用いてゲームアプリケーションを起動すると、制御部１１０はゲームサーバ２００に対してゲームを開始するためのユーザ情報およびゲーム情報を要求する（Ｓ１０１）。当該要求は、ユーザＩＤを含む。ゲームサーバ２００はネットワーク２および通信ＩＦ２３を介してこれを受信すると、受信部２１１はこれを受信する処理を実行する（Ｓ２０１）。ゲーム処理部２１２は記憶部２２０を参照して、必要に応じてデータ管理部２１４がユーザ管理テーブルを更新した上で、当該ユーザのユーザＩＤに応じた最新のユーザ情報やゲーム情報、ゲームプログラムを特定する。制御部２１０はこれをユーザ端末１００に送信し（Ｓ２０２）、ユーザ端末１００がこれを受信すると、ゲーム処理部１１２は必要に応じてユーザ情報およびゲーム情報を更新した上で、当該ユーザ情報およびゲーム情報、ゲームプログラムを用いてゲームを開始するための処理を実行する（Ｓ１０２）。 As shown in FIG. 9, when the user activates the game application using the user terminal 100, the control unit 110 requests user information and game information for starting the game from the game server 200 (S101). The request includes a user ID. When the game server 200 receives this via the network 2 and the communication IF 23, the receiving unit 211 executes a process of receiving this (S201). The game processing unit 212 refers to the storage unit 220, and the data management unit 214 updates the user management table as necessary, and then stores the latest user information, game information, and game program corresponding to the user ID of the user. Identify. The control unit 210 transmits this to the user terminal 100 (S202), and when the user terminal 100 receives this, the game processing unit 112 updates the user information and game information as necessary, and then the user information and game. A process for starting the game is executed using the information and the game program (S102).
　ユーザによるクエスト選択指示を受け付けると、制御部１１０は記憶部１２０に格納されたクエスト情報に基づいて、クエストを実行するための処理を実行する（Ｓ１０３）。ここで、ユーザが保有するキャラクタの中から１または複数のキャラクタをプレイヤキャラクタとして選択するとともに、当該クエストにおける対戦相手となる相手キャラクタを設定して、ゲーム情報およびユーザ情報として記憶部１２０に記憶させる（Ｓ１０４）。ユーザはクエストが実行されるゲームステージを指定するなどしてクエストを開始する準備が整ったら、クエスト開始指示を入力する。作用受付部１１１はこれを受け付け、ゲーム処理部１１２が試合を開始するための処理を実行する。制御部１１０は、指定されたクエストのクエストＩＤや、プレイヤキャラクタ、相手キャラクタといったクエストの開始に必要な情報を含むクエストコンテンツ要求をゲームサーバ２００に送信する（Ｓ１０５）。ゲームサーバ２００はこれを受信すると（Ｓ２０３）、データ管理部２１４は、クリア条件やミッションを特定するクエスト情報や、ゲームステージの構成物や各種キャラクタの行動を制御するためのオブジェクト制御情報を特定する（Ｓ２０４）。ゲームサーバ２００は、これらの情報を含むクエストコンテンツを送信し（Ｓ２０５）、ユーザ端末１００がこれを受信すると（Ｓ１０６）、ゲーム処理部１１２が受信したクエストコンテンツに含まれる各種情報を記憶部１２０に記憶し、クエストが実行される仮想空間を構成する（Ｓ１０７）。そして、ゲーム処理部１１２は指定されたクエストを開始するための処理を開始する（Ｓ１０８）。 Upon receiving a quest selection instruction from the user, the control unit 110 executes a process for executing the quest based on the quest information stored in the storage unit 120 (S103). Here, one or more characters are selected as player characters from the characters held by the user, and an opponent character to be an opponent in the quest is set and stored in the storage unit 120 as game information and user information. (S104). When the user is ready to start a quest by designating a game stage on which the quest is executed, the user inputs a quest start instruction. The action receiving unit 111 receives this, and the game processing unit 112 executes a process for starting a game. The control unit 110 transmits a quest content request including information necessary for starting the quest such as the quest ID of the designated quest, the player character, and the opponent character to the game server 200 (S105). When the game server 200 receives this (S203), the data management unit 214 specifies the quest information for specifying the clear condition and the mission, and the object control information for controlling the composition of the game stage and the actions of various characters. (S204). The game server 200 transmits the quest content including these pieces of information (S205), and when the user terminal 100 receives the quest content (S106), various information included in the quest content received by the game processing unit 112 is stored in the storage unit 120. The virtual space where the quest is executed is stored (S107). And the game process part 112 starts the process for starting the designated quest (S108).
　クエストが開始されると、図１０に示すように、オブジェクト制御部１１４はユーザに入力された操作入力を含む作用に基づいてプレイヤキャラクタを制御する（Ｓ１０９）。ゲーム処理部１１２はプレイヤキャラクタの行動を記憶部１２０に記憶させるとともに、クエストを進行させる処理を実行する（Ｓ１１０）。判定部１１３はプレイヤキャラクタの行動を含むゲームの進行状況、および、クエスト情報に含まれる当該クエストのクリア条件に基づいて、当該クリア条件が満足されたか否かを判定する（Ｓ１１１）。クリア条件が満足されたと判定された場合には（Ｓ１１１のＹ）、判定部１１３は記憶部１２０に記憶されたプレイヤキャラクタの行動に関する情報、および、クエスト情報に基づいて、達成されたミッションを特定するとともに、ユーザに付与される報酬を特定する（Ｓ１１２）。本実施形態において、報酬はクエスト情報においてクエストクリア状況およびミッション達成に関連付けられたゲームポイントとしてのクエストポイントを含む。制御部１１０は、プレイヤキャラクタの行動に関する情報や、クエストクリア状況、ミッション達成状況を特定するためのクエストプレイ情報をゲームサーバ２００に送信する（Ｓ１１３）。ゲームサーバ２００の受信部２１１がこれを受信すると（Ｓ２０６）、ゲーム処理部２１２は記憶部２２０を参照して、必要に応じてデータ管理部２１４がユーザ情報における仮想通貨管理テーブルを更新する（Ｓ２０７）。 When the quest is started, as shown in FIG. 10, the object control unit 114 controls the player character based on the action including the operation input input by the user (S109). The game processing unit 112 stores the action of the player character in the storage unit 120 and executes a process for advancing the quest (S110). The determination unit 113 determines whether or not the clear condition is satisfied based on the progress state of the game including the action of the player character and the clear condition of the quest included in the quest information (S111). When it is determined that the clear condition is satisfied (Y in S111), the determination unit 113 identifies the mission that has been achieved based on the information regarding the action of the player character stored in the storage unit 120 and the quest information. In addition, the reward given to the user is specified (S112). In this embodiment, the reward includes quest points as game points associated with the quest clear status and mission achievement in the quest information. The control unit 110 transmits information related to the action of the player character, quest play information for specifying the quest clear status and the mission achievement status to the game server 200 (S113). When the reception unit 211 of the game server 200 receives this (S206), the game processing unit 212 refers to the storage unit 220, and the data management unit 214 updates the virtual currency management table in the user information as necessary (S207). ).
　図１１は、クエストクリア時にタッチスクリーン１５の表示部１５２に表示されるゲーム画面Ｇ１を示す。ゲーム画面Ｇ１は、クエストクリア報酬画像Ｒ１と、累計クエストポイント画像Ｒ２と、抽選権獲得までに必要なクエストポイントの残数表示画像Ｒ３を含む。本実施形態において、クエストクリア報酬画像Ｒ１は、クエスト情報およびプレイヤキャラクタの行動に関する情報に基づいて生成される。累計クエストポイント画像Ｒ２および残数表示画像Ｒ３は、ユーザ情報に含まれる仮想通貨情報、および、ゲーム制御情報に含まれる条件情報に基づいて生成される。特に、ゲーム制御情報に含まれる条件情報は、クエストポイントの累計値が閾値に達した場合に自動的に所定数の抽選権（第１仮想通貨）をユーザに付与するための判断基準となる第１条件を規定する。本実施形態において、クエストポイントの累計値が１００（閾値の一例）に達した場合に１の抽選権が付与されるように予め指定される。従って、累計クエストポイント画像Ｒ２および残数表示画像Ｒ３は、主として第１条件および仮想通貨情報に基づいて生成される。このようなゲーム画面Ｇ１により、ユーザは抽選権を得られるまでのクエストポイントの必要数、および、未達成ミッションの状況を容易に把握できるので、さらにクエストをプレイする動機付けが向上される。 FIG. 11 shows a game screen G1 displayed on the display unit 152 of the touch screen 15 when the quest is cleared. The game screen G1 includes a quest clear reward image R1, a cumulative quest point image R2, and a remaining number display image R3 of quest points necessary for acquiring a lottery right. In the present embodiment, the quest clear reward image R1 is generated based on the quest information and information regarding the action of the player character. The cumulative quest point image R2 and the remaining number display image R3 are generated based on the virtual currency information included in the user information and the condition information included in the game control information. In particular, the condition information included in the game control information is a judgment criterion for automatically granting a predetermined number of lottery rights (first virtual currency) to the user when the cumulative value of quest points reaches a threshold value. Specify one condition. In this embodiment, it is designated in advance so that one lottery right is given when the cumulative value of quest points reaches 100 (an example of a threshold value). Accordingly, the cumulative quest point image R2 and the remaining number display image R3 are generated mainly based on the first condition and the virtual currency information. Such a game screen G1 allows the user to easily grasp the required number of quest points and the status of unachieved missions until obtaining the drawing right, so that the motivation for playing the quest is further improved.
　判定部１１３は、上記のようなゲームの進行状況に基づいて、クエストポイントが第１条件を満足したか否かを判定する（Ｓ１１４）。本実施形態では、累計クエストポイントが第１条件において指定された閾値に達したか否かを判定する。クエストポイントが第１条件を満足したと判定された場合には（Ｓ１１４のＹ）、ゲーム処理部１１２は抽選権（第１仮想通貨）をユーザに付与するとともに、所定値のクエストポイントを保有するクエストポイントの累計値から減算するように仮想通貨情報を更新する（Ｓ１１５）。このとき、付与された抽選権には、抽選権番号、抽選権ＩＤ、取得日、使用期限が付され、使用可否の管理が開始される。なお、抽選権ＩＤ等が関連付けられていない抽選権番号が存在しない場合（抽選権保有最大数に達している場合）には、抽選権を付与せずクエストポイントの減算のみを行ってもよいし、抽選権を付与せずクエストポイントの累計値を減算せずに維持してもよい。 The determination unit 113 determines whether the quest point satisfies the first condition based on the progress of the game as described above (S114). In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the cumulative quest point has reached the threshold value specified in the first condition. When it is determined that the quest point satisfies the first condition (Y in S114), the game processing unit 112 grants a lottery right (first virtual currency) to the user and holds a predetermined value of the quest point. The virtual currency information is updated so as to be subtracted from the total value of the quest points (S115). At this time, the assigned lottery right is assigned a lottery right number, lottery right ID, acquisition date, and expiration date, and management of availability is started. In addition, when there is no lottery right number that is not associated with the lottery right ID or the like (when the maximum number of lottery rights is reached), the lottery right may not be granted and only the quest points may be subtracted. The lottery right may not be granted and the cumulative value of quest points may be maintained without being subtracted.
　図１２は、抽選権がユーザに付与される際にタッチスクリーン１５の表示部１５２に表示されるゲーム画面Ｇ２を示す。ゲーム画面Ｇ２は、抽選権の値を示す画像Ｖ１と、当該抽選権に関連付けられた時間的条件を表示する画像Ｃ１と、後述する抽選画面に移行させるリンクを含むＵＩ画像Ｕ１を含む。本実施形態において、画像Ｖ１およびＣ１は、主として仮想通貨情報に基づいて生成される。これにより、ユーザは抽選権を獲得したこと、および、その時間的制約を容易に把握できるので、抽選を実行する動機付けが向上される。 FIG. 12 shows a game screen G2 displayed on the display unit 152 of the touch screen 15 when the lottery right is given to the user. The game screen G2 includes an image V1 that shows the value of the lottery right, an image C1 that displays a time condition associated with the lottery right, and a UI image U1 that includes a link that shifts to the lottery screen described later. In the present embodiment, the images V1 and C1 are generated mainly based on virtual currency information. Thereby, since the user has acquired the lottery right and can easily grasp the time restriction, the motivation for performing the lottery is improved.
　ユーザに抽選権が付与されると、制御部１１０は当該事実を特定するための第１仮想通貨情報をゲームサーバ２２０に送信する（Ｓ１１６）。ゲームサーバ２００の受信部２１１がこれを受信すると（Ｓ２０８）、データ管理部２１４がユーザ情報における仮想通貨管理テーブルを更新する（Ｓ２０９）。 When the lottery right is given to the user, the control unit 110 transmits the first virtual currency information for specifying the fact to the game server 220 (S116). When the reception unit 211 of the game server 200 receives this (S208), the data management unit 214 updates the virtual currency management table in the user information (S209).
　本実施形態においては、上述したようにゲームを進行させることによって、所定の希少度を有するキャラクタを獲得できる抽選（「レア」仮想筐体における抽選）を実行するために必要な第１仮想通貨を取得することができる。一方、図１３に示すように、当該キャラクタを獲得できる抽選を実行するために必要な第２仮想通貨（有料石）を、ユーザによる課金額に応じて付与する。作用受付部１１１がユーザによる第２仮想通貨購入要求を受け付けると（Ｓ１１７）、制御部１１０は第２仮想通貨購入要求をゲームサーバ２００に送信する（Ｓ１１８）。第２仮想通貨購入要求は、当該ユーザに付与される第２仮想通貨の数値と、そのためにユーザが課金する課金額に関する情報を含む。ゲームサーバ２００の受信部２１１がこれを受信すると（Ｓ２１０）、データ管理部２１４がユーザ情報に基づいて決済処理を実行するとともに、課金額に応じた第２仮想通貨の数値を当該ユーザに関連付けるように、仮想通貨管理テーブルを更新する（Ｓ２１１）。正常に決裁処理および第２仮想通貨付与処理が完了すると、ゲームサーバ２００の制御部２１０は当該情報をユーザ端末１００に送信し（Ｓ２１２）、ユーザ端末１００の制御部１１０がこれを受信すると（Ｓ１１９）、課金額に応じた第２仮想通貨の数値を加算するように仮想通貨情報を更新する（Ｓ１２０）。 In the present embodiment, as described above, the first virtual currency necessary for executing a lottery (lottery in a “rare” virtual housing) that can acquire a character having a predetermined rarity by advancing the game is obtained. Can be acquired. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13, the second virtual currency (pay stone) necessary for executing the lottery that can acquire the character is given according to the charge amount by the user. When the action accepting unit 111 accepts a second virtual currency purchase request from the user (S117), the control unit 110 transmits the second virtual currency purchase request to the game server 200 (S118). The second virtual currency purchase request includes information regarding the numerical value of the second virtual currency given to the user and the charge amount charged by the user for that purpose. When the reception unit 211 of the game server 200 receives this (S210), the data management unit 214 executes a settlement process based on the user information, and associates the numerical value of the second virtual currency corresponding to the charge amount with the user. The virtual currency management table is updated (S211). When the approval process and the second virtual currency granting process are normally completed, the control unit 210 of the game server 200 transmits the information to the user terminal 100 (S212), and when the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 receives the information (S119). ), The virtual currency information is updated so as to add the value of the second virtual currency according to the billing amount (S120).
　本実施形態において、前述のように第１仮想通貨にはその価値を制限する第２条件が関連付けられているが、第２仮想通貨にはそのような条件が付されていない。従って、ゲームの進行に応じて付与される第１仮想通貨の価値は、ユーザによる課金額に応じてユーザに付与される第２仮想通貨の価値に対して制限され得る。これにより、仮想通貨の価値の公平性を担保し得る。特に、第１仮想通貨に基づいて第２仮想通貨と同一の仮想筐体に関する情報に基づいて抽選を実行できることを可能とすることによって、課金することなくゲームを進行させるユーザに対しても抽選を実行できる機会を付与することで、ゲームを継続動機付けが向上される。一方、課金してゲームを進行させるユーザに対しては、第２条件のような制限が付されていない第２仮想通貨を保有および使用可能とすることにより、さらにゲームを有利に進行させる機会が提供され得る。これにより、仮想通貨の価値の公平性を担保し得る。さらに、第１仮想通貨に第２条件として時間的条件を付与することにより、さらにゲームを進行する（多くのクエストをプレイする）動機付けを向上させることができる。また、第１仮想通貨に第２条件として量的条件を付与することにより、抽選を実行した上でするさらにゲームを進行する（多くのクエストをプレイする）動機付けを向上させることができる。 In the present embodiment, as described above, the first virtual currency is associated with the second condition for limiting its value, but the second virtual currency is not provided with such a condition. Therefore, the value of the first virtual currency given according to the progress of the game can be limited to the value of the second virtual currency given to the user according to the amount charged by the user. Thereby, the fairness of the value of the virtual currency can be secured. In particular, by enabling a lottery to be executed based on information related to the same virtual housing as the second virtual currency based on the first virtual currency, a lottery can also be performed for a user who proceeds the game without charging. Giving the opportunity to run improves the motivation to continue the game. On the other hand, for users who charge and advance the game, there is an opportunity to advance the game more advantageously by making it possible to possess and use the second virtual currency that is not restricted as in the second condition. Can be provided. Thereby, the fairness of the value of the virtual currency can be secured. Furthermore, by giving a time condition as the second condition to the first virtual currency, it is possible to further improve the motivation to advance the game (play many quests). Further, by giving a quantitative condition as the second condition to the first virtual currency, it is possible to improve the motivation to further advance the game (play many quests) after executing the lottery.
　図１４～図１５は、抽選によってユーザにゲーム媒体を付与する処理を説明するための図である。図１４に示すように、ユーザ端末１００の作用受付部１１１がユーザからの抽選要求（例えば、図１２に示したＵＩ画像Ｕ１に対するタッチ操作）を受け付ける（Ｓ１２１）。画像生成部１１６は、図１５に示すように、主として記憶部１２０に記憶されたゲーム情報および抽選制御情報に基づいて仮想筐体に関する情報を含むゲーム画像Ｇ３を生成し、タッチスクリーン１５の表示部１５２に当該ゲーム画像Ｇ３を表示させる（Ｓ１２３）。ゲーム画像Ｇ３は、例えば所定値以上の希少度を有するゲーム媒体を取得し得る「レア」筐体に対応する。ゲーム画像Ｇ３は仮想筐体情報Ｂ１と、抽選における抽選条件を示す画像Ｔ１，Ｔ２と、ユーザによる消費する仮想通貨の選択を受け付けるためのＵＩ画像Ｕ２と、を含む。なお、当該ゲーム画像Ｇ３を表示させるのに先立って、複数の仮想筐体の中から１つをユーザに選択させるための画像を表示させ、ユーザによる仮想筐体の選択操作を受け付けた後に、当該ゲーム画像Ｇ３を表示させてもよい（Ｓ１２２）。 FIG. 14 to FIG. 15 are diagrams for explaining processing for giving a game medium to a user by lottery. As shown in FIG. 14, the action accepting unit 111 of the user terminal 100 accepts a lottery request (for example, a touch operation on the UI image U1 shown in FIG. 12) from the user (S121). As shown in FIG. 15, the image generation unit 116 generates a game image G <b> 3 including information related to the virtual housing based mainly on the game information and the lottery control information stored in the storage unit 120, and the display unit of the touch screen 15. The game image G3 is displayed on 152 (S123). The game image G3 corresponds to, for example, a “rare” case that can acquire a game medium having a rarity level equal to or higher than a predetermined value. The game image G3 includes virtual housing information B1, images T1 and T2 indicating lottery conditions in the lottery, and a UI image U2 for accepting selection of a virtual currency to be consumed by the user. Prior to displaying the game image G3, an image for allowing the user to select one of the plurality of virtual enclosures is displayed, and after the user selects a virtual enclosure, The game image G3 may be displayed (S122).
　抽選条件を示す画像は、第１仮想通貨としての抽選権の消費を指定する第１画像Ｔ１と、第２仮想通貨としての有料石の消費を指定する第２画像Ｔ２を含む。ＵＩ画像Ｕ２は、抽選権を一定数（例えば１枚）消費して所定回数（例えば１回）抽選を行うことを指定するＵＩ画像と、抽選権をそのＸ倍（例えば１０枚）消費して当該Ｘ倍より多く（例えば１１回）の抽選を行うことを指定するＵＩ画像を含む。これにより、ユーザにゲームを進行させることによりゲームポイントを取得し、多くの抽選権を獲得することを促し得る。また、ＵＩ画像Ｕ２は、有料石を一定数（例えば２５個）消費して所定回数（例えば１回）抽選を行うことを指定するＵＩ画像と、有料石をそのＹ倍（例えば２５０個）消費して当該Ｙ倍より多く（例えば１１回）の抽選を行うことを指定するＵＩ画像を含む。これにより、ユーザに多くの抽選を行うことを促し得る。 The images indicating the lottery conditions include a first image T1 that specifies the consumption of the lottery right as the first virtual currency and a second image T2 that specifies the consumption of the paid stone as the second virtual currency. The UI image U2 consumes a certain number (for example, one) of the lottery right and consumes a lottery right X times (for example, ten sheets) and a UI image that specifies that the lottery is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, one time). It includes a UI image that specifies that the lottery is performed more than X times (for example, 11 times). Thereby, it is possible to prompt the user to acquire game points by advancing the game and to acquire many lottery rights. In addition, the UI image U2 consumes a fixed number (for example, 25) of paid stones and consumes a predetermined number of times (for example, once) and draws the paid stones Y times (for example, 250). Then, a UI image designating that the lottery is performed more than Y times (for example, 11 times) is included. This can prompt the user to perform many lotteries.
　作用受付部１１１がいずれかのＵＩ画像Ｕ２に対する入力操作を受け付けると、抽選部１１５は抽選に使用する（抽選によって消費される）仮想通貨の選択を受け付ける（Ｓ１２４）。抽選部１１５は選択されたＵＩ画像Ｕ２に指定された第１仮想通貨または第２仮想通貨のうち、少なくとも一方を抽選条件において指定された数値だけ減算するように、記憶部１２０に記憶された仮想通貨情報を更新する（Ｓ１２５）。 When the action accepting unit 111 accepts an input operation for any UI image U2, the lottery unit 115 accepts selection of a virtual currency used for the lottery (consumed by the lottery) (S124). The lottery unit 115 stores the virtual data stored in the storage unit 120 so as to subtract at least one of the first virtual currency or the second virtual currency specified in the selected UI image U2 by the numerical value specified in the lottery condition. The currency information is updated (S125).
　これにより、判定部１１３は抽選条件が満たされていると判定し、抽選部１１５はゲームサーバ２００に対して抽選を実行させるための抽選要求を送信する（Ｓ１２６）。抽選要求は、当該ユーザを特定するためのユーザＩＤと、消費される仮想通貨情報と、抽選が実行される仮想筐体情報と、抽選実行回数を特定するための情報を含む。ゲームサーバ２００の受信部２１１がこれを受信すると（Ｓ２１３）、抽選部２１６は受信した抽選要求、記憶部２２０に記憶された抽選制御情報、ユーザ情報等に基づいて、抽選を実行するように選択された仮想筐体に関する情報を特定する（Ｓ２１４）。抽選部２１６は抽選管理テーブルを参照し、選択された仮想筐体に関する情報に基づいて抽選を実行する。データ管理部２１４はキャラクタ管理テーブルを参照して当選したゲーム媒体を当該ユーザに関連付けるように、ユーザ管理テーブルを更新する（Ｓ２１５）。抽選部２１６は当選したゲーム媒体に関するキャラクタ情報を含むゲーム媒体付与情報をユーザ端末１００に送信する（Ｓ２１６）。ユーザ端末１００がこれを受信すると、抽選部１１５が当該キャラクタ情報を記憶部１２０に記憶させることにより、抽選によるゲーム媒体の付与が完了する（Ｓ２１７）。 Thereby, the determination unit 113 determines that the lottery condition is satisfied, and the lottery unit 115 transmits a lottery request for causing the game server 200 to execute the lottery (S126). The lottery request includes a user ID for specifying the user, virtual currency information to be consumed, virtual housing information for executing the lottery, and information for specifying the number of lottery executions. When the reception unit 211 of the game server 200 receives this (S213), the lottery unit 216 selects to execute the lottery based on the received lottery request, lottery control information stored in the storage unit 220, user information, and the like. Information on the virtual enclosure thus identified is identified (S214). The lottery unit 216 refers to the lottery management table and executes the lottery based on the information related to the selected virtual enclosure. The data management unit 214 updates the user management table so as to associate the winning game content with reference to the character management table with the user (S215). The lottery unit 216 transmits game medium provision information including character information regarding the winning game medium to the user terminal 100 (S216). When the user terminal 100 receives this, the lottery unit 115 stores the character information in the storage unit 120, thereby completing the provision of the game medium by lottery (S217).
　本実施形態において、第１仮想通貨についてはその価値を制限する第２条件を付与しているため、所定のタイミングでユーザに第１仮想通貨の価値が制限され得ることを通知することが好ましい。図１６～図１９は第１仮想通貨および第２仮想通貨について詳細に説明するための図である。 In the present embodiment, since the second condition for limiting the value of the first virtual currency is given, it is preferable to notify the user that the value of the first virtual currency can be limited at a predetermined timing. 16 to 19 are diagrams for explaining the first virtual currency and the second virtual currency in detail.
　図１６に示すように、判定部１１３は第１仮想通貨の価値が制限され得ることを通知するタイミングか否かを判定する（Ｓ１２８）。当該タイミングは、例えばゲームアプリケーションを起動したタイミングや、抽選権の使用期限が所定期間内に迫ったタイミング等である。当該タイミングに該当すると判定された場合には（Ｓ１２８のＹ）、判定部１１３が記憶部１２０に記憶された抽選制御情報を参照し、第１仮想通貨に関連付けられた第２条件を特定する（Ｓ１２９）。次に、判定部１１３は第２条件が満たされなくなるまでの残存条件を特定する（Ｓ１３０）。残存条件は、前述したように、第２条件が満たされなくなり（第２条件に設定された時間的条件や量的条件を超過し）、第１仮想通貨の恩恵を受けることが不可能となるまでの猶予であり、使用期限までの残り期間（日数等）や、追加で保有できる第１仮想通貨の数といった情報である。画像生成部１１６は、第１仮想通貨に関する画像に、残存条件に関する画像を関連付けてゲーム画像を生成し、これをタッチスクリーン１５の表示部１５２に表示させる（Ｓ１３１） As shown in FIG. 16, the determination unit 113 determines whether it is time to notify that the value of the first virtual currency can be limited (S128). The timing is, for example, the timing when the game application is activated, the timing when the expiration date for the lottery right approaches within a predetermined period, or the like.

　制御部１１０は、ゲームプログラム１２１を読み込んで実行することにより、入力操作受付部１９１と、ゲーム進行処理部１９２と、移動操作検出部１９３と、カメラ配置制御部１９４と、オブジェクト制御部１９５と、表示制御部１９６と、の各機能を発揮する。 The control unit 110 reads and executes the game program 121 to thereby execute an input operation reception unit 191, a game progress processing unit 192, a movement operation detection unit 193, a camera arrangement control unit 194, an object control unit 195, Each function of the display control unit 196 is exhibited.
　入力操作受付部１９１は、タッチスクリーン１５の出力に基づいて、ユーザの入力操作を受け付ける。具体的には、入力操作受付部１９１は、ユーザの指などがタッチパネル１５１に接近したことを、タッチスクリーン１５を構成する面の横軸および縦軸からなる座標系の座標として検出する。 The input operation reception unit 191 receives a user input operation based on the output of the touch screen 15. Specifically, the input operation reception unit 191 detects that a user's finger or the like has approached the touch panel 151 as coordinates in a coordinate system including a horizontal axis and a vertical axis of a surface constituting the touch screen 15.
　入力操作受付部１９１は、タッチスクリーン１５に対するユーザの操作を判別する。入力操作受付部１９１は、例えば、（１）「接近操作」、（２）「リリース操作」、（３）「タップ操作」、（４）「ダブルタップ操作」、（５）「長押し操作（ロングタッチ操作）」、（６）「ドラッグ操作（スワイプ操作）」、（７）「ムーブ操作」、（８）「フリック操作」、その他のユーザの操作を判別する。入力操作受付部１９１が判別するユーザの操作は、上記に限られない。例えば、タッチパネル１５１が、ユーザがタッチパネル１５１に対して押下する圧力の大きさを検出可能な機構を有する場合、入力操作受付部１９１は、ユーザが押下した圧力の大きさを判別する。また、制御部１１０は、タッチスクリーン１５へのユーザの指などの接近を検出している状態を、「タッチオン状態」と判別する。制御部１１０は、タッチスクリーン１５へのユーザの指などの接近を検出しない状態を、「タッチオフ状態」と判別する。制御部１１０は、タッチスクリーン１５が逐次出力するユーザの指などの接近位置を示す座標を、「タッチナウ」の座標として受け付ける。 The input operation reception unit 191 determines a user operation on the touch screen 15. The input operation accepting unit 191 includes, for example, (1) “approach operation”, (2) “release operation”, (3) “tap operation”, (4) “double tap operation”, (5) “long press operation ( (Long touch operation) ”, (6)“ drag operation (swipe operation) ”, (7)“ move operation ”, (8)“ flick operation ”, and other user operations. The user operation determined by the input operation receiving unit 191 is not limited to the above. For example, when the touch panel 151 has a mechanism capable of detecting the magnitude of the pressure that the user presses against the touch panel 151, the input operation reception unit 191 determines the magnitude of the pressure that the user presses. In addition, the control unit 110 determines that the state of detecting the approach of the user's finger or the like to the touch screen 15 is the “touch-on state”. The control unit 110 determines that a state in which the approach of the user's finger or the like to the touch screen 15 is not detected is a “touch-off state”. The control unit 110 accepts coordinates indicating the approach position of the user's finger or the like sequentially output by the touch screen 15 as “touch now” coordinates.
　ここで、（１）「接近操作」とは、ユーザが指などをタッチスクリーン１５に接近させる操作である。 Here, (1) “approach operation” is an operation in which the user brings a finger or the like closer to the touch screen 15.
　（２）「リリース操作」とは、ユーザがタッチスクリーン１５に指などを接近させることで操作する状態を止める操作である。入力操作受付部１９１は、例えば、ユーザが指などをタッチスクリーン１５に接触させている状態から、指を離す操作をしたときに、ユーザの操作を「リリース操作」と判別する。 (2) “Release operation” is an operation for stopping the operation state when the user brings a finger or the like closer to the touch screen 15. For example, when the user performs an operation of releasing his / her finger from a state where the user touches the touch screen 15 with the finger or the like, the input operation receiving unit 191 determines that the user's operation is a “release operation”.
　（３）「タップ操作」とは、ユーザがタッチスクリーン１５に対して指などを接近させる接近操作をした後に、接近操作をした位置でリリース操作を行うことである。 (3) “Tap operation” means that the user performs a release operation at a position where the approach operation is performed after the user performs an approach operation to bring a finger or the like closer to the touch screen 15.
　（４）「ダブルタップ操作」とは、ユーザがタップ操作を一定時間内に２回行う操作である。入力操作受付部１９１は、例えば、ユーザの操作をタップ操作と判別してから一定時間内に、タップ操作にかかる座標で再びタップ操作を判別した場合に、ユーザの操作を「ダブルタップ操作」と判別する。 (4) The “double tap operation” is an operation in which the user performs the tap operation twice within a predetermined time. For example, the input operation reception unit 191 determines that the user operation is “double tap operation” when the user operation is determined to be the tap operation and the tap operation is determined again with the coordinates related to the tap operation within a certain time after the user operation is determined to be the tap operation. Determine.
　（５）「長押し操作」とは、ユーザがタッチスクリーン１５を押し続ける操作である。タッチスクリーン１５は、ユーザの操作を検出して接近操作を判別してから、接近操作が検出された座標において接近操作が継続している時間が一定時間を超えた場合に、ユーザの操作を「長押し操作」（「長押し操作」を、「ロングタッチ操作」と称することもある）と判別する。 (5) “Long press operation” is an operation in which the user continues to press the touch screen 15. The touch screen 15 detects the user's operation and determines the approaching operation. When the time during which the approaching operation continues at the coordinates where the approaching operation is detected exceeds a certain time, the touch screen 15 “Long press operation” (the “long press operation” may be referred to as “long touch operation”).
　（６）「ドラッグ操作」とは、ユーザがタッチスクリーン１５に指などを接近させた接近状態を維持したまま、指をスライドさせる操作である。 (6) The “drag operation” is an operation in which the user slides the finger while maintaining the approaching state in which the user brings the finger or the like close to the touch screen 15.
　（７）「ムーブ操作」とは、ユーザがタッチスクリーン１５において、接近操作を維持しつつ、タッチスクリーン１５に指などを接近させている位置を移動させてリリース操作を行う一連の操作をいう。 (7) “Move operation” refers to a series of operations in which the user performs a release operation by moving a position where a finger or the like is approaching the touch screen 15 while maintaining the approach operation on the touch screen 15.

A process for giving a reward, a process for measuring the passage of time, and other processes are performed.
　移動操作検出部１９３は、タッチスクリーン１５に対するユーザの入力操作に基づいて、ゲームに登場するキャラクタ（以下、「ゲームキャラクタ」と称することもある）を移動させる入力操作の操作内容を検出する。例えば、ゲームプログラム１２１がアクションゲーム、ロールプレイングゲーム、アクションロールプレイングゲームである場合、移動操作検出部１９３は、ユーザの入力操作に基づいて、ゲームキャラクタを移動させる方向を検出する。このように、移動操作検出部１９３は、ユーザがゲームキャラクタの移動方向を指定する入力操作を受け付ける。 The movement operation detection unit 193 detects the operation content of the input operation for moving a character appearing in the game (hereinafter also referred to as “game character”) based on the user's input operation on the touch screen 15. For example, when the game program 121 is an action game, a role playing game, or an action role playing game, the movement operation detection unit 193 detects a direction in which the game character is moved based on a user input operation. As described above, the movement operation detection unit 193 receives an input operation in which the user specifies the movement direction of the game character.
　具体的には、移動操作検出部１９３は、タッチスクリーン１５からユーザの指が離れた状態から、ユーザが指をタッチスクリーン１５に接近させて、入力操作受付部１９１がタッチパネル１５１にユーザの指が接近したことを検出した座標を初期タッチ位置として、ユーザがドラッグ操作を行った場合に、初期タッチ位置の座標とタッチスクリーン１５の検出結果とに基づいて、ゲームキャラクタの移動方向を検出する。移動操作検出部１９３の詳細な処理は、後述する。 Specifically, the movement operation detection unit 193 causes the user to move the finger closer to the touch screen 15 from a state where the user's finger is separated from the touch screen 15, and the input operation reception unit 191 causes the touch panel 151 to move the user's finger. When the user performs a drag operation using the detected coordinates as the initial touch position, the moving direction of the game character is detected based on the coordinates of the initial touch position and the detection result of the touch screen 15. Detailed processing of the movement operation detection unit 193 will be described later.
　カメラ配置制御部１９４は、仮想空間に配置される各オブジェクトを、どのようにユーザに見せるかを決定する。具体的には、カメラ配置制御部１９４は、制御部１１０がゲームプログラム１２１を読み込んで実行することで生成される仮想空間において、仮想カメラの配置（カメラワーク）を制御する。制御部１１０は、仮想空間における仮想カメラの撮影画像をディスプレイ１５２に表示することで、ユーザに対しゲームのプレイ環境を提供する。 The camera placement control unit 194 determines how to show each object placed in the virtual space to the user. Specifically, the camera arrangement control unit 194 controls the arrangement (camera work) of the virtual camera in the virtual space generated when the control unit 110 reads and executes the game program 121. The control unit 110 provides a game play environment to the user by displaying a captured image of the virtual camera in the virtual space on the display 152.
　オブジェクト制御部１９５は、携帯端末１００がゲームプログラム１２１を実行することにより進行されるゲームに登場する各種オブジェクト、および、入力操作受付部１９１が受け付けたユーザの操作内容に基づいて生成される各種オブジェクト（例えば、ＧＵＩ（Graphical　User　Interface）画面など）の生成、変形、移動などの処理を制御する。オブジェクト制御部１９５は、例えば、ユーザがゲームキャラクタを移動させるためのタッチスクリーン１５に対する入力操作に基づいて、ゲームキャラクタの移動方向を示すオブジェクトを生成し、生成したオブジェクトを変形する。 The object control unit 195 includes various objects that appear in the game that is advanced by the mobile terminal 100 executing the game program 121, and various objects that are generated based on the user operation content received by the input operation receiving unit 191. Processes such as generation, transformation, and movement (for example, GUI (Graphical User Interface) screen) are controlled. For example, the object control unit 195 generates an object indicating the moving direction of the game character based on an input operation on the touch screen 15 for the user to move the game character, and deforms the generated object.
　表示制御部１９６は、仮想カメラのカメラワークに従った画像をディスプレイ１５２に出力する。表示制御部１９６は、仮想空間内における仮想カメラの配置に応じて、ディスプレイ１５２の表示内容を決定し、決定した表示内容に従う画像、テキスト等の各種の情報をディスプレイ１５２に出力する。 The display control unit 196 outputs an image according to the camera work of the virtual camera to the display 152.

　図２１の図示例（Ｂ）に、ゲーム進行処理部１９２の機能的な構成の詳細を示す。図示するように、ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ゲームポイント付与部１９２Ａ、抽選権設定部１９２Ｂ、抽選権管理部１９２Ｃ、追加コンテンツ設定部１９２Ｄ、クエスト進行処理部１９２Ｅおよび対戦プレイ進行部１９２Ｆの各機能を発揮するように構成されている。 21 shows the details of the functional configuration of the game progress processing unit 192. As shown in the figure, the game progress processing unit 192 includes a game point granting unit 192A, a lottery right setting unit 192B, a lottery right management unit 192C, an additional content setting unit 192D, a quest progress processing unit 192E, and a battle play progressing unit 192F. It is configured to demonstrate.
　（１）ゲームポイント付与部１９２Ａは、ユーザの入力操作に応じてゲームを進行させ、予め定められた項目がユーザのゲームプレイにより達成されることにより、達成された項目に応じてゲームポイントをユーザに付与する。例えば、ゲームプログラム１２１は、ユーザに対し、一定のクリア条件を有する複数のクエストを提供し、クエストを選択する入力操作を受け付けてゲームを進行させるものであるとする。クエストは、例えば、比較的短時間で（例えば、スマートフォンでゲームプレイするユーザを考慮して、数分～数十分程度のプレイ時間を想定して）クリア可能に設計されている。 (1) The game point assigning unit 192A advances the game in accordance with the user's input operation, and the predetermined items are achieved by the user's game play, so that the game points are given to the user according to the achieved items. To grant. For example, it is assumed that the game program 121 provides the user with a plurality of quests having certain clear conditions, accepts an input operation for selecting a quest, and advances the game. The quest is designed to be cleared in a relatively short time (for example, assuming a play time of several minutes to several tens of minutes in consideration of a user who plays a game on a smartphone).
　（２）ゲームポイント付与部１９２Ａは、例えば、ユーザからクエストを選択する入力操作を受け付けて、ユーザの入力操作に応じてクエストのゲームプレイを進行させ、予め定められた項目として、当該クエストについて予め定められた報酬獲得条件がユーザのゲームプレイにより達成されることにより、達成された報酬獲得条件に応じてゲームポイントをユーザに付与することとしてもよい。 (2) The game point granting unit 192A receives, for example, an input operation for selecting a quest from the user, advances the game play of the quest in accordance with the user's input operation, and pre-determines the quest as a predetermined item. Game points may be given to the user according to the achieved reward acquisition conditions by achieving the determined reward acquisition conditions by the user's game play.
　（３）クエストには、予め、複数の報酬獲得条件が設定されているものが含まれることとしてもよい。この場合、ゲームポイント付与部１９２Ａは、クエストについて予め定められる複数の報酬獲得条件の全てがユーザのゲームプレイにより達成されることにより、報酬獲得条件の全てが達成されたことについてゲームポイントを前記ユーザに付与することとしてもよい。 (3) The quest may include those for which a plurality of reward acquisition conditions are set in advance. In this case, the game point granting unit 192A determines that the game points are allotted to the fact that all of the reward acquisition conditions are achieved by achieving all of the plurality of reward acquisition conditions predetermined for the quest by the user's game play. It is good also as giving to.
　（４）クエストについて予め定められる報酬獲得条件には、ユーザが、ゲームキャラクタに特定の動作を行わせるための入力操作を行ってクエストをゲームクリアすることが含まれることとしてもよい。例えば、ゲームキャラクタに特定の動作を行わせるための入力操作としては、ボールなどの対象物を打ち合うスポーツゲーム（例えば、テニスゲーム）において、ユーザの入力操作に応じてゲームキャラクタが特別な打球をすることが可能な場合（例えば、打球により比較的高速な球を打ち返すことができる等）に、当該入力操作を行ってゲームキャラクタに特別な打球を行わせることとしてもよい。例えば、ゲームキャラクタが特別な打球をすることには、打球のたびにゲージが増加し、ゲージが一定量に達することで使用可能な特別な打球をすることが含まれることとしてもよい。ゲームポイント付与部１９２Ａは、クエストについて、報酬獲得条件として、ゲームキャラクタに特定の動作を行わせるための入力操作を行ってクエストをゲームクリアすることが設定されている場合に、この入力操作によりゲームキャラクタに特定の動作を行わせてクエストをゲームクリアされることにより、ゲームポイントをユーザに付与することとしてもよい。 (4) The reward acquisition condition determined in advance for the quest may include that the user clears the quest by performing an input operation for causing the game character to perform a specific action. For example, as an input operation for causing a game character to perform a specific action, in a sports game (for example, a tennis game) in which an object such as a ball is hit, the game character makes a special ball according to the user's input operation. When it is possible (for example, a relatively high-speed ball can be hit back by hitting a ball), the input operation may be performed to cause the game character to make a special hit ball. For example, when the game character hits a special ball, the gauge may increase every time the ball is hit, and may include a special ball that can be used when the gauge reaches a certain amount. When the game point granting unit 192A is set to clear the quest by performing an input operation for causing the game character to perform a specific action as a reward acquisition condition for the quest, the game point is given by this input operation. A game point may be given to the user by causing the character to perform a specific action and clearing the quest game.
　（５）ゲームプログラム１２１が、複数のクエストを含むエリアの選択をユーザから受け付けてゲームプレイを進行させるように構成されていることもある。ユーザは、エリア内に含まれるクエストを順次選択してゲームを進行させる。ゲームポイント付与部１９２Ａは、予め定められた項目として、ユーザが選択したエリアに含まれる複数のクエストの全てがユーザのゲームプレイによりゲームクリアされることにより、エリアに含まれる複数のクエストの全てがゲームクリアされたことについてゲームポイントをユーザに付与することとしてもよい。 (5) The game program 121 may be configured to accept a selection of an area including a plurality of quests from the user and advance the game play. The user sequentially selects the quests included in the area and advances the game. As a predetermined item, the game point giving unit 192A clears all of the plurality of quests included in the area selected by the user by the game play of the user, so that all of the plurality of quests included in the area are cleared. It is good also as giving a user a game point about having cleared the game.
　（６）ゲームプログラム１２１が、ユーザがクエストをゲームクリアするたびに、ユーザの経験値パラメータに、クエストをゲームクリアすることによる経験値を加算するステップを実行させ、ユーザの経験値パラメータが予め定められた一定量に達するたびに、ユーザのレベル値を更新するように構成されていることもある。例えば、ユーザが、敵キャラクタに打ち勝つたびにユーザに経験値が付与される。経験値が一定量に達した場合に、ユーザの操作するキャラクタの強さなどを示す指標としてレベル値が更新される。ゲームポイント付与部１９２Ａは、予め定められた項目として、ユーザのゲームプレイに応じて経験値パラメータが予め定められた一定量に達するたびに、ユーザのレベル値を更新し、ユーザのレベル値が更新されたことについてゲームポイントをユーザに付与することとしてもよい。 (6) Each time the user clears the quest game, the game program 121 executes a step of adding the experience value obtained by clearing the quest to the user experience value parameter, and the user experience value parameter is determined in advance. It may be configured to update the user's level value each time a certain amount is reached. For example, an experience value is given to the user every time the user overcomes an enemy character. When the experience value reaches a certain amount, the level value is updated as an index indicating the strength of the character operated by the user. The game point giving unit 192A updates the user's level value every time the experience value parameter reaches a predetermined amount according to the user's game play as a predetermined item, and the user's level value is updated. It is good also as giving a game point to a user about what was done.
　（７）ゲームプログラム１２１において、クエストには、１以上の報酬獲得条件が設定されており、クエストにおいて報酬獲得条件がユーザにより達成されたか否かを管理するように構成されていることもある。ゲームポイント付与部１９２Ａは、ユーザからクエストを選択する入力操作を受け付けて、ユーザの入力操作に応じてクエストのゲームプレイを進行させ、当該クエストについて予め定められ、未達成の報酬獲得条件が前記ユーザのゲームプレイにより達成されることにより、達成された報酬獲得条件に応じてゲームポイントをユーザに付与することとしてもよい。 (7) In the game program 121, one or more reward acquisition conditions are set for the quest, and it may be configured to manage whether the reward acquisition condition is achieved by the user in the quest. The game point granting unit 192A accepts an input operation for selecting a quest from the user, proceeds the game play of the quest in accordance with the user's input operation, and the reward acquisition condition that has been determined in advance for the quest and the unachieved reward acquisition condition is It is good also as giving a game point to a user according to the reward acquisition conditions achieved by being achieved by game play.
　（８）ゲームプログラム１２１が、ユーザ同士で対戦する対戦ゲームにかかるものであり、ゲームプログラム１２１において、各ユーザのゲームプレイの内容に応じて各ユーザの対戦プレイにおける習熟状況を示す指標であるランクを管理するように構成されていることもある。各ユーザの対戦プレイにおける習熟状況を示す指標としては、例えば、レーティング値がある。レーティング値は、対戦プレイにおける勝敗結果と、対戦プレイにかかる各ユーザのレーティング値の大きさとに基づき所定の演算により更新される。ゲームポイント付与部１９２Ａは、予め定められた項目として、ユーザのランクが変化することにより、ゲームポイントをユーザに付与することとしてもよい。 (8) The game program 121 relates to a battle game in which the users battle each other, and the game program 121 is a rank that is an index indicating the proficiency level of each user in the battle play according to the content of each user's game play. May be configured to manage. For example, there is a rating value as an index indicating the skill level of each user in the battle play. The rating value is updated by a predetermined calculation based on the winning / losing result in the battle play and the magnitude of the rating value of each user involved in the battle play. The game point giving unit 192A may give game points to the user by changing the rank of the user as a predetermined item.
　（９）各ユーザの対戦プレイにおける習熟状況を示す指標としては、ユーザの強さを段階的に示すものを用いることとしてもよい。このような、ユーザの強さを段階的に示す名称としては、ランク「初段」、ランク「二段」、高段位になるにつれて独自の名称を付与されるものであるとしてもよいし、複数の階層を数字で示し、高層建築のようにランク「１階」、ランク「２階」、・・・ランク「最上階」などの名称を付与されるものであるとしてもよく、これらに限られない。ゲームポイント付与部１９２Ａは、ユーザ同士の対戦プレイにより、ユーザが未到達のランクに到達した場合に、ゲームポイントをユーザに付与することとしてもよい。例えば、ランクがランク「１階」からランク「１００階（最上階）」（最上階が最も高いランクであるとする）まである場合に、ユーザが、ランク「１階」からランク「９階」までの間で対戦プレイの結果に応じて上下しており（各階に初めて到達した場合にゲームポイントを獲得している）、初めてランク「１０階」に到達した場合に、ランク「１０階」に初めて到達したことに対してゲームポイントが付与される。また、各ユーザのランクは、定期的にリセットされることとしてもよい。この場合、ある程度、上層階に到達しているユーザに対しては（例えば、ランク「５０階」以上に到達しているユーザ）、ランクがリセットされる際に、一定程度のランクから（例えば、ランク「３０階」から）再スタートされることとしてもよい。こうすることで、対戦プレイの経験が浅いユーザは、低い階層（例えば、ランク「１階」など）からスタートするとともに、対戦プレイの経験を積んだユーザは、一定以上の階層に集まることとなる。そのため、対戦プレイの技量の差が大きい初心者と熟練者とがマッチングしてしまう可能性を低くすることができ、対戦プレイの興趣性がいっそう向上する。 (9) As an index indicating the proficiency level of each user in the battle play, an index indicating the user's strength in stages may be used. As a name indicating the strength of the user step by step, the rank “first stage”, the rank “second stage”, a unique name may be given as the rank increases, and a plurality of names may be given. The hierarchy is indicated by a number, and it may be given a name such as rank “first floor”, rank “second floor”,... Rank “top floor” like a high-rise building, but is not limited thereto. . Game point granting part 192A is good also as giving a user a game point, when a user reaches a rank which has not yet reached by a battle play between users. For example, when the rank is from the rank “1st floor” to the rank “100th floor (top floor)” (the top floor is the highest rank), the user is ranked from the rank “1st floor” to the rank “9th floor”. Up and down depending on the result of the battle play (game points are earned when reaching each floor for the first time), and when the rank reaches “10th floor” for the first time, the rank becomes “10th floor” Game points are awarded for the first arrival. The rank of each user may be periodically reset. In this case, for a user who has reached the upper floor to some extent (for example, a user who has reached the rank “50th floor” or higher), when the rank is reset, from a certain rank (for example, It may be restarted (from rank “30th floor”). By doing so, users who have little experience in battle play start from a lower level (for example, rank “1st floor”, etc.), and users who have experience in battle play gather in a certain level or higher. . Therefore, it is possible to reduce the possibility that a beginner and a skilled person who have a large difference in the skill of the battle play will be matched, and the interest of the battle play is further improved.
　（１０）ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ゲームポイント付与部１９２Ａによりユーザにゲームポイントを付与する際に、ユーザが項目を達成する前の獲得済みのゲームポイントの獲得量を、表示制御部１９６によりタッチスクリーン１５に表示する。ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、項目を達成することにより新規に獲得するゲームポイントと、獲得済みのゲームポイントの獲得量とを加算する加算状況を、表示制御部１９６によりタッチスクリーン１５に表示する。 (10) When the game progress processing unit 192 gives game points to the user by the game point giving unit 192A, the display control unit 196 touches the amount of game points already acquired before the user achieves the item. It is displayed on the screen 15. The game progress processing unit 192 causes the display control unit 196 to display on the touch screen 15 an addition situation in which the game points newly acquired by achieving the item and the acquired amount of game points are added.

The lottery right setting unit 192B causes the display control unit 196 to display on the touch screen 15 that the lottery right has been granted when the game points have reached a certain amount.
　抽選権管理部１９２Ｃは、ユーザに付与される抽選権の有効期限を管理する。抽選権管理部１９２Ｃは、有効期限内の抽選権を使用する入力操作を受け付けて抽選を行うとともに当該使用した抽選権とユーザとの関連付けを解除する。抽選権管理部１９２Ｃは、例えば、ユーザが抽選権を使用して抽選をする入力操作を受け付けることにより、抽選に使用した抽選権を消費して抽選を行う。ゲームプログラム１２１は、ユーザが利用可能な仮想通貨の保有量を管理していることもある。抽選権管理部１９２Ｃは、有効期限内の抽選権の保有数と、仮想通貨の保有量とを、表示制御部１９６によりタッチスクリーン１５に表示し、抽選権により抽選を行うか、仮想通貨を消費して抽選を行うかの入力操作を受け付けることとしてもよい。 The lottery right management unit 192C manages the expiration date of the lottery right given to the user. The lottery right management unit 192C receives an input operation using the lottery right within the expiration date, performs the lottery, and cancels the association between the lottery right used and the user. The lottery right management unit 192C, for example, accepts an input operation in which a user performs a lottery using a lottery right, thereby consuming lottery rights used for the lottery and performing a lottery. The game program 121 may manage the amount of virtual currency that can be used by the user. The lottery right management unit 192C displays the number of lottery rights held within the expiration date and the amount of virtual currency held on the touch screen 15 by the display control unit 196, and draws lottery rights or consumes virtual currency And it is good also as accepting input operation of performing lottery.
　追加コンテンツ設定部１９２Ｄは、抽選の結果に応じて、追加コンテンツをユーザに付与する。追加コンテンツとは、例えば、ゲームキャラクタ、ゲームキャラクタに関連付けられることが可能なアイテム（例えば、ゲームキャラクタに装着させてゲームキャラクタのパラメータを変化させられるアイテム）、ユーザのゲームプレイ時に消費することで予め定められた効力がゲームプレイ時に発揮される消費アイテム（例えば、消費アイテムを使用してから一定期間、ゲームプレイ時に獲得できる経験値の量が増加するアイテムなど）、ユーザがプレイ可能なクエストその他のものがある。 The additional content setting unit 192D gives additional content to the user according to the lottery result. The additional content is, for example, a game character, an item that can be associated with the game character (for example, an item that can be attached to the game character to change the parameter of the game character), and consumed in advance when the user plays the game. Consumable items that have a defined effect during game play (for example, items that increase the amount of experience that can be earned during game play for a certain period of time after using the consumable item), quests that the user can play, and other There is something.
　ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ゲームプログラム１２１の起動によりゲームプレイが可能となる際に、有効期限が満了するまでの残存期間が一定期間以下である抽選権がある場合に、当該残存期間が一定期間以下である抽選権があることを、表示制御部１９６などによりユーザに報知することとしてもよい。 When the game progress processing unit 192 has a lottery right in which the remaining period until the expiration date expires is a certain period or less when the game play is enabled by starting the game program 121, the remaining period is a certain period.

　＜実施形態２の構成のまとめ＞
　以上のように、本実施形態のゲーム配信システム１Ａの構成を説明してきた。本実施形態において、ゲームプログラム１２１は、例えば、スポーツゲーム、アクションロールプレイングゲームその他のゲームであり、仮想空間内の仮想カメラの配置に応じた画面をタッチスクリーン１５に表示させることでゲームを進行させる。 <Summary of Configuration of Embodiment 2>
As described above, the configuration of the game distribution system 1A of the present embodiment has been described. In the present embodiment, the game program 121 is, for example, a sports game, an action role playing game, or other games, and the game is advanced by causing the touch screen 15 to display a screen corresponding to the placement of the virtual camera in the virtual space. .
　例えば、ゲームプログラム１２１がスポーツゲーム（テニスゲーム、サッカーゲーム、野球ゲームその他のスポーツを題材としたゲーム）である場合、ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ユーザの操作に応じて、例えば試合を進めるなどのストーリーを進行させる。ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、画像、テキストなどディスプレイ１５２に表示するデータを決定する処理、プレイ対象とする１以上のクエストをディスプレイ１５２に表示して、クエストの選択をユーザから受け付ける処理、ユーザの操作に応じて、クエストを進める処理などの基本的な処理を行う。 For example, when the game program 121 is a sports game (tennis game, soccer game, baseball game, or other sports-related game), the game progress processing unit 192 may, for example, advance a game in accordance with a user operation. Advance the story. The game progress processing unit 192 is a process for determining data to be displayed on the display 152 such as images and texts, a process for displaying one or more quests to be played on the display 152, a process for receiving a quest selection from the user, and a user operation Depending on, perform basic processing such as processing to advance the quest.
　また、例えば、ゲームプログラム１２１がアクションゲーム、アクションロールプレイングゲームなどである場合、ユーザの操作に応じて、ゲームキャラクタがモンスターなどの敵キャラクタを撃破しながらストーリーを進行させる。カメラ配置制御部１９４は、ユーザが、複数のモンスターが登場するフィールド面でゲームキャラクタを動作させる場合に、ユーザの操作に応じて、仮想カメラの配置個所および撮影軸の方向を、逐次、決定する。また、モンスターのうち、比較的強力なボスキャラクターが登場するボス登場面でゲームキャラクタを動作させる場合に、ユーザの操作に応じて、ボスキャラクタの方を向くように、ボスキャラクタの位置を中心にゲームキャラクタに軸移動および前後退をさせるよう動作させる。 Also, for example, when the game program 121 is an action game, an action role playing game, or the like, the game character advances the story while destroying enemy characters such as monsters according to the operation of the user. When the user moves the game character on the field surface where a plurality of monsters appear, the camera placement control unit 194 sequentially determines the placement location of the virtual camera and the direction of the shooting axis according to the user's operation. . In addition, when a game character is operated on a boss appearance surface where a relatively powerful boss character appears among monsters, the boss character is centered so that it faces the boss character in response to a user operation. Operate the game character to move the axis and move backward.
　＜データ構造＞
　図２３から図２５を参照して、ゲームプログラム２５１またはゲームプログラム１２１を実行する装置で使用するデータのデータ構造を説明する。 <Data structure>
With reference to FIG. 23 to FIG. 25, the data structure of data used in the device that executes the game program 251 or the game program 121 will be described.
　図２３は、ゲームプログラム２５１が実行されることでユーザに提供される複数のクエストの進行状況を管理するためのテーブルのデータ構造を示す図である。 FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a data structure of a table for managing the progress of a plurality of quests provided to the user by executing the game program 251.
　図２３に示すように、サーバ２００は、記憶部２２０にユーザ情報２５３を記憶する。ユーザ情報２５３は、ユーザ管理テーブル２５３Ａを含む。図２３の例に示すユーザ管理テーブル２５３Ａは、各ユーザがゲームプレイによりクエストを進行させている進行状況を管理するためのクエスト進行状況２５５を含む。クエストは、例えばスポーツゲームであれば、対戦相手となるキャラクターと、スポーツを通じて対戦し、勝敗の結果に応じてユーザに経験値、各種アイテムなどの報酬をユーザに付与するまでの一連の処理を含む。また、アクションゲームでは、クエストは、例えばボスキャラクタと対決し、ボスキャラクタを撃破できたか否かに応じて、経験値、各種アイテムなどの報酬をユーザに付与するまでの一連の処理を含む。また、クエストには、ボスキャラクタが登場するものに限られず、例えば、ゲームキャラクタが移動可能なフィールド面に登場するモンスターキャラクタを撃破して、モンスターキャラクタがドロップするアイテムを収集するクエストなども含まれる。 As illustrated in FIG. 23, the server 200 stores user information 253 in the storage unit 220. The user information 253 includes a user management table 253A. The user management table 253A illustrated in the example of FIG. 23 includes a quest progress state 255 for managing a progress state in which each user progresses a quest through game play. For example, in the case of a sports game, the quest includes a series of processes until a battle with a character as an opponent is made through sports, and rewards such as experience values and various items are given to the user according to the result of winning or losing. . In the action game, the quest includes, for example, a series of processes until a boss character is confronted and rewards such as experience values and various items are given to the user depending on whether or not the boss character can be defeated. In addition, the quest is not limited to a boss character appearing, and includes, for example, a quest for destroying a monster character appearing on a field surface to which a game character can move and collecting items dropped by the monster character. .
　本実施形態のゲームプログラム２５１において、これらクエストは様々なものがあり、ユーザが抽選をするための入力操作を行って抽選に当選するまでは利用を許可せず（プレイ不可）、各クエストに設定される当選確率により抽選に当選したクエストを、ユーザが利用可能とする（プレイ可能）ものを含む。ゲームプログラム２５１は、ユーザが抽選をするための入力操作を行った際に、抽選に当選したクエストを特定し、ユーザに、抽選に当選したクエストをプレイ可能とする権利を設定する。ゲームプログラム２５１は、例えば、クエストをプレイ可能とするチケットをユーザに付与し、ユーザがクエストを（例えばボスキャラクタの撃破に成功する等により）クリアするまではチケットを消費せず何度でもクエストに挑戦可能とし、クエストをクリアした際にチケットを消費するよう処理する。 In the game program 251 of this embodiment, there are various quests, and use is not permitted until the user performs an input operation for performing a lottery and wins the lottery (not playable), and is set for each quest. Quests won in the lottery based on the winning probability to be included are included that the user can use (can play). The game program 251 specifies the quest won in the lottery when the user performs an input operation for the lottery, and sets the right to allow the user to play the quest won in the lottery. For example, the game program 251 grants a ticket that enables a quest to be played to the user, and does not consume the ticket until the user clears the quest (for example, by successfully defeating the boss character). Make it possible to challenge, and process to consume the ticket when you clear the quest.
　クエスト進行状況２５５の各レコードは、クエスト識別情報２５５Ａと、プレイ可否２５５Ｂと、クリア済み／未クリア２５５Ｃと、サブ報酬獲得条件２５５Ｄと、サブ報酬達成状況２５５Ｅとを含む。 Each record of the quest progress status 255 includes quest identification information 255A, playability 255B, cleared / uncleared 255C, sub reward acquisition condition 255D, and sub reward achievement status 255E.
　クエスト識別情報２５５Ａは、各クエストを識別するための情報である。
　プレイ可否２５５Ｂは、ユーザが、クエスト識別情報に対応付けられるクエストをプレイ可能であるか否かを示す。例えば、ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ユーザが第１のクエストをゲームクリアするまでは、第１のクエストとは別の第２のクエストをプレイ不可とする。ユーザが第１のクエストをゲームクリアすることにより、第２のクエストのプレイ可否２５５Ｂを、プレイ可否「プレイ可能」に設定することで、ユーザが第２のクエストを選択可能とする。このように、ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、順次、ユーザがクエストを選択することでゲームを進行させる。 The quest identification information 255A is information for identifying each quest.
Playability 255B indicates whether or not the user can play a quest associated with the quest identification information. For example, the game progress processing unit 192 makes the second quest different from the first quest unplayable until the user clears the first quest game. When the user clears the game for the first quest, the user can select the second quest by setting the playability 255B of the second quest to “playable”. As described above, the game progress processing unit 192 sequentially advances the game by the user selecting a quest.
　クリア済み／未クリア２５５Ｃは、クエスト識別情報に対応付けられるクエストをユーザがクリアしたか否かを示す。 Cleared / uncleared 255C indicates whether or not the user has cleared the quest associated with the quest identification information.
　サブ報酬獲得条件２５５Ｄは、クエストに予め対応付けられた条件であって、ユーザが当該条件を満たしてクエストをゲームクリアした場合に報酬をユーザに付与するための条件を示す。ユーザは、このサブ報酬獲得条件２５５Ｄに示される条件を満たしてクエストをクリアすることで、報酬としてゲームポイントが付与される。例えば、ゲームプログラム２５１が、ユーザに対し、ユーザの入力操作に応じてゲージを一定量まで蓄積させることで使用可能な特殊なアクションを提供している場合に、当該特殊なアクションを使用してクエストをクリアすることが含まれる。 The sub-reward acquisition condition 255D is a condition associated with a quest in advance, and indicates a condition for giving a reward to the user when the user satisfies the condition and clears the quest. When the user satisfies the conditions indicated in the sub reward acquisition condition 255D and clears the quest, game points are awarded as rewards. For example, when the game program 251 provides a user with a special action that can be used by accumulating a gauge up to a certain amount according to the user's input operation, the quest is made using the special action. Includes clearing.
　例えば格闘ゲームであれば、ユーザの入力操作に応じて、ゲームキャラクタに飛び道具を打たせるなどの、いわゆる必殺技をゲームキャラクタに行わせることでゲージを貯められるものがある。ゲージが一定量まで蓄積されると、ゲージを消費して、特殊なアクションとして、より強力な飛び道具を打てるようにしているものがある。このように、ゲージを蓄積し、ゲージを消費して、特殊なアクションをゲームキャラクタに行わせることでゲームクリアとすることを、サブ報酬獲得条件２５５Ｄとして設定することとしてもよい。 For example, in the case of a fighting game, there is a game in which a gauge can be stored by causing the game character to perform a so-called special technique such as hitting the game character with a flying tool in response to a user input operation. When a gauge is accumulated up to a certain amount, there is one that consumes the gauge and makes it possible to hit a more powerful flying tool as a special action. Thus, it is good also as setting as sub reward acquisition conditions 255D to make a game clear by accumulating a gauge, consuming a gauge, and making a game character perform a special action.
　また、例えば、ボールなどの対象物を使用するスポーツゲームであれば、ゲームキャラクタがボールを打つたびにゲージを蓄積させ、ゲージが一定量まで蓄積されると、ゲージを消費して特殊な打球を打てるようにしているものがある。この場合に、ゲージを蓄積し、ゲージを消費して、特殊な打球を打ってクエストをクリアすることを、サブ報酬獲得条件２５５Ｄとして設定することとしてもよい。このようなサブ報酬獲得条件２５５Ｄを、クエストの開始前にディスプレイ１５２に表示することで、ユーザに対し、特殊なアクションを行うよう動機づけることができ、特殊なアクションをゲームキャラクタに行わせる入力操作に習熟してもらうことができる。 Also, for example, in the case of a sports game using an object such as a ball, a gauge is accumulated every time a game character hits the ball. There is something that you can hit. In this case, accumulating the gauge, consuming the gauge, and hitting a special hit ball to clear the quest may be set as the sub reward acquisition condition 255D. By displaying such sub-reward acquisition condition 255D on the display 152 before the start of the quest, it is possible to motivate the user to perform a special action, and an input operation that causes the game character to perform a special action. Can be proficient in
　また、サブ報酬獲得条件２５５Ｄとしては、この他にも、アクションゲームであれば、例えば、条件「敵の攻撃を受けることなくクリアする」、条件「一定時間以内にクリアする」、条件「回復スキルを使用してクリアする」、条件「コンボを一定回数成功させてクリアする」など、ユーザがゲームプレイに習熟することを促すものなどがある。また、サブ報酬獲得条件２５５Ｄとしては、スポーツゲームであれば、例えば、条件「相手の打球にぶつかることなくゲームクリアする」など、ユーザがゲームキャラクタを移動させるための入力操作、ユーザがゲームキャラクタにボールを打球するための入力操作その他の入力操作を習熟することを促すものなどがある。 In addition to the above, the sub-reward acquisition condition 255D is, for example, the condition “Clear without receiving an enemy attack”, the condition “Clear within a certain time”, the condition “Recovery skill” There are things that encourage the user to become proficient in game play, such as “Clear using” and “Clear combo a certain number of times to clear”. Further, as the sub-reward acquisition condition 255D, for a sports game, for example, an input operation for the user to move the game character, such as the condition “game is cleared without hitting the opponent's hit ball”, the user is made a game character. There is an input operation for hitting a ball and other items that encourage the user to master the input operation.
　図２３の例では、サブ報酬獲得条件２５５Ｄに示されるように、例えば、各クエストに、１以上の条件が設定されているが、条件の数は、クエストによってはゼロ（すなわち、条件が設定されていない）であることとしてもよい In the example of FIG. 23, as shown in the sub reward acquisition condition 255D, for example, one or more conditions are set for each quest, but the number of conditions is zero (that is, the condition is set depending on the quest). Not good)
　サブ報酬達成状況２５５Ｅは、ユーザが、各クエストに設定されるサブ報酬獲得条件２５５Ｄに示される各条件の達成状況を示す。図２３の例では、クエストに設定される各条件を満たしてゲームクリアすることでユーザに報酬が付与される機会は、条件を初めて満たした１回目に限るものとしているが、これに限られない。 The sub-reward achievement status 255E indicates the achievement status of each condition indicated by the sub-reward acquisition condition 255D set for each quest by the user. In the example of FIG. 23, the opportunity for rewarding the user by satisfying each condition set in the quest and completing the game is limited to the first time when the condition is satisfied for the first time, but is not limited thereto. .
　また、図２３の例では、サーバ２００が記憶するユーザ情報２５５Ｃについて説明しているが、この情報は、携帯端末１００が記憶することとしてもよい。例えば、携帯端末１００は、ゲームプログラム１２１の起動時に、サーバ２００と通信し、サーバ２００から、図２３～図２５に示す各種情報（例えば、ユーザが既に獲得している経験値の情報など）を取得することとしてもよい。 In the example of FIG. 23, the user information 255C stored in the server 200 is described. However, this information may be stored in the mobile terminal 100. For example, the mobile terminal 100 communicates with the server 200 when the game program 121 is activated, and receives various information (for example, information on experience values that the user has already acquired) shown in FIGS. 23 to 25 from the server 200. It is good also as acquiring.
　図２４は、ユーザがゲームをプレイする進行状況を管理するためのテーブルのデータ構造を示す図である。図２４に示すように、ユーザ管理テーブル２５３Ａは、各ユーザのゲームプレイの進行状況を管理するためのプレイ進行状況２５６を含む。ゲームプレイの進行状況とは、例えば、各ユーザがゲームプレイにより蓄積した経験値、ユーザが使用可能なゲームキャラクタなどを含む。 FIG. 24 is a diagram showing a data structure of a table for managing the progress status of the user playing the game. As shown in FIG. 24, the user management table 253A includes a play progress status 256 for managing the progress status of each user's game play. The progress of game play includes, for example, experience values accumulated by each user through game play, game characters usable by the user, and the like.
　図２４に示すように、プレイ進行状況２５６の各レコードは、獲得経験値／レベル２５６Ａと、使用可能キャラクタ２５６Ｂと、仮想通貨保有量２５６Ｃと、保有装備アイテム２５６Ｄと、保有消費アイテム２５６Ｅと、対戦プレイランク／レーティング２５６Ｆとを含む。 As shown in FIG. 24, each record of the play progress status 256 includes an acquired experience value / level 256A, an available character 256B, a virtual currency holding amount 256C, a holding equipment item 256D, a holding consumption item 256E, and a battle. Play rank / rating 256F.
　獲得経験値／レベル２５６Ａは、各ユーザがクエストをクリアする等により獲得した経験値の累計値、および、当該経験値の累計値により定まるレベル値とを含む。ゲームプログラム２５１は、例えば、ユーザが一定のレベルに達する都度、ユーザがプレイ可能な項目（例えば、一定レベル以上であればプレイ可能なクエスト、一定レベル以上であれば使用可能なシステム、アイテムなど）を含む。例えば、経験値の累計が一定の閾値を超える都度、ユーザのレベルが上昇する。 Acquired experience value / level 256A includes a cumulative value of experience values acquired by each user clearing a quest, and a level value determined by the cumulative value of the experience values. The game program 251 is, for example, an item that can be played by the user every time the user reaches a certain level (for example, a quest that can be played if the level is above a certain level, a system that can be used if the level is above a certain level, an item, etc.) including. For example, the user's level increases every time the cumulative experience value exceeds a certain threshold.
　使用可能キャラクタ２５６Ｂは、ユーザが使用可能なキャラクタを示す。ゲームプログラム２５１は、ユーザに対し、複数のゲームキャラクタを提供しており、ユーザがクエストを進行させる、ユーザが抽選をするための入力操作をすることで抽選の結果としてゲームキャラクタを獲得する、その他の処理により、ユーザが使用可能なキャラクタのリストを更新する。なお、図２４の例では図示していないが、ユーザが使用可能なキャラクタのうち、任意のゲームキャラクタを特定したパーティ編成を保持することとしてもよい。 The usable character 256B indicates a character that can be used by the user. The game program 251 provides a plurality of game characters to the user, the user advances a quest, the user performs an input operation for performing a lottery, and acquires a game character as a result of the lottery. Through this process, the list of characters usable by the user is updated. Although not shown in the example of FIG. 24, a party organization that specifies an arbitrary game character among the characters usable by the user may be held.
　仮想通貨保有量２５６Ｃは、ユーザが保有している仮想通貨の保有量を示す。仮想通貨は、例えば、ゲーム内で消費されるアイテムを入手するため、抽選を行うためその他の操作を行うために使用することができる。ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、仮想通貨を使用してアイテムを購入する、抽選を行う等の入力操作を受け付けて、仮想通貨の保有量を変動させる。ここで、ゲームプログラム２５１は、仮想通貨を有償でユーザに提供した量と、無償でユーザに提供した量とをそれぞれ管理することとしてもよい。これら仮想通貨には、使用可能な有効期限（例えば、有償の仮想通貨について、仮想通貨の購入時点から６か月以内など）を設定することとしてもよい。 The virtual currency holding amount 256C indicates the holding amount of the virtual currency held by the user. The virtual currency can be used, for example, to obtain items consumed in the game and to perform other operations to perform a lottery. The game progress processing unit 192 accepts an input operation such as purchasing an item using a virtual currency, performing a lottery, or the like, and varies the possession amount of the virtual currency. Here, the game program 251 may manage the amount of virtual currency provided to the user for a fee and the amount provided to the user for free. These virtual currencies may be set with valid expiration dates (for example, for paid virtual currencies, within six months from the point of purchase of the virtual currency).
　保有装備アイテム２５６Ｄは、キャラクタと関連づけられるアイテムとして、キャラクタに装備させることが可能なアイテムを示す。キャラクタに装備させることが可能なアイテムとは、例えば、アクションゲームであれば、キャラクタに装備させることが可能な武器、防具、アクセサリその他のアイテムである。また、キャラクタに装備させることが可能なアイテムとは、スポーツゲームであれば、キャラクタに関連付けることが可能なラケット、バット、シューズ、ウェアその他のアイテムである。これらキャラクタが装備可能なアイテムは、クエストの進行、抽選、その他の処理によって、ユーザに付与される。 The owned equipment item 256D indicates an item that can be equipped to the character as an item associated with the character. The items that can be equipped to the character are, for example, weapons, armor, accessories, and other items that can be equipped to the character in the case of an action game. Further, the items that can be equipped to the character are rackets, bats, shoes, wear, and other items that can be associated with the character in the case of a sports game. Items that can be equipped by these characters are given to the user by the progress of the quest, lottery, and other processes.
　保有消費アイテム２５６Ｅは、ユーザがゲームプレイ時に使用することで、ゲームプレイ時に一定の効果を発揮させるアイテムを示す。これらアイテムは、ユーザが使用するための入力操作をすることで消費される。ゲームプレイ時に一定の効果を発揮させるアイテムとは、例えば、アイテムの使用開始から一定時間（例えば３０分間）、クエストのクリア時等に獲得される経験値、キャラクタを成長させるために消費されるアイテム等の獲得量が一定以上増加するもの（例えば、獲得量が２倍以上となる）などがある。 The possessed consumption item 256E indicates an item that exerts a certain effect during game play by being used by the user during game play. These items are consumed by performing an input operation for use by the user. An item that exerts a certain effect at the time of game play is, for example, a certain time (for example, 30 minutes) from the start of use of the item, an experience value acquired at the time of clearing a quest, etc. Etc. in which the amount of acquisition increases more than a certain amount (for example, the amount of acquisition becomes twice or more).
　対戦プレイランク／レーティング２５６Ｆは、ゲームプログラム２５１が提供するユーザ間の対戦プレイの、各ユーザの習熟度を示す。図示するように、対戦プレイランク／レーティング２５６Ｆは、対戦プレイにおけるユーザの習熟度として、レーティングシステムにおけるレーティング値、ランキングを含む。 The battle play rank / rating 256F indicates the proficiency level of each user in the battle play between users provided by the game program 251.

　図２５は、ユーザがゲームプレイにより獲得した抽選権の保有状況を管理するためのテーブルのデータ構造を示す図である。ユーザ管理テーブル２５３Ａは、各ユーザが保有している抽選権の管理状況を示す抽選権の管理状況２５７を含む。抽選権の管理状況２５７の各レコードは、抽選権識別情報２５７Ａと、取得日時２５７Ｂと、有効期限２５７Ｃとを含む。 FIG. 25 is a diagram showing a data structure of a table for managing the possession status of the lottery right acquired by the user through the game play. The user management table 253A includes a lottery right management status 257 indicating a lottery right management status held by each user. Each record of the lottery right management status 257 includes lottery right identification information 257A, an acquisition date 257B, and an expiration date 257C.
　抽選権識別情報２５７Ａは、ユーザが保有する抽選権それぞれを識別するための情報である。 The lottery right identification information 257A is information for identifying each lottery right held by the user.
　取得日時２５７Ｂは、携帯端末１００の抽選権設定部１９２Ｂの処理によりユーザに抽選権が付与された日時（ユーザが抽選権を取得した日時）を示す。 The acquisition date and time 257B indicates the date and time when the lottery right was given to the user by the process of the lottery right setting unit 192B of the mobile terminal 100 (date and time when the user acquired the lottery right).
　有効期限２５７Ｃは、ユーザに付与された抽選権の有効期限を示す。有効期限は、例えば、抽選権がユーザに付与された日時から一定期間後（例えば、１週間後、２週間後、１か月後など）に設定される。 The expiration date 257C indicates the expiration date of the lottery right granted to the user. The expiration date is set, for example, after a certain period (for example, one week later, two weeks later, one month later, etc.) from the date and time when the lottery right was granted to the user.
　図２６は、ゲームポイントを獲得するために獲得条件として定められた各項目と、各項目を達成した際にユーザが獲得するゲームポイントの量との対応関係を示す図である。 FIG. 26 is a diagram showing a correspondence relationship between each item defined as an acquisition condition for acquiring game points and the amount of game points acquired by the user when each item is achieved.
　例えば、図２６に示すように、ユーザがゲームプレイを継続することでゲームポイントを獲得するよう、ゲームポイントの獲得条件を設定する。ユーザは、ゲームプレイを継続し、（１）クエストに設定されるサブ報酬獲得条件を達成するようゲームプレイすること、（２）クエストに設定されるすべてのサブ報酬獲得条件を達成すること、（３）複数のクエストから構成されるエリア内の全クエストをクリアすること、（４）クエストクリア等により蓄積される経験値が一定の閾値に達してレベルアップすること、（５）他のユーザとの対戦プレイを継続して、対戦プレイにおけるユーザの習熟度を示す指標を一定程度上昇させること（予め設定された段階的な指標を上昇させることなど）、（６）クエストを初クリアすること、などによりゲームポイントを獲得することができる。ユーザのゲームプレイによりユーザが獲得しているゲームポイントの獲得状況は、例えば、携帯端末１００およびサーバ２００の双方で記録される。ゲームポイント付与部１９２Ａの処理によりユーザにゲームポイントが付与される都度、携帯端末１００およびサーバ２００で記録されるゲームポイントが更新される。 For example, as shown in FIG. 26, game point acquisition conditions are set so that the user acquires game points by continuing game play. The user continues the game play, (1) playing the game to achieve the sub-reward acquisition conditions set in the quest, (2) achieving all the sub-reward acquisition conditions set in the quest, ( 3) Clear all quests in an area composed of multiple quests, (4) Experience levels accumulated by clearing quests, etc. reach a certain threshold and level up, (5) With other users (2) To clear the quest for the first time, increasing the index indicating the user's proficiency in the battle play to a certain degree (e.g., increasing a preset stepwise index), You can earn game points. The acquisition status of the game points acquired by the user through the user's game play is recorded in both the mobile terminal 100 and the server 200, for example. Each time game points are given to the user by the process of the game point giving unit 192A, the game points recorded in the mobile terminal 100 and the server 200 are updated.
　ここで、ゲームポイントの獲得条件として設定される各獲得条件のうち、達成するための難易度が比較的高いもの、達成するためにユーザが投下することが想定されるプレイ時間が比較的長いものについては、他の獲得条件と比べて、達成時に付与されるゲームポイントの量を大きくするようにしてもよい。 Here, among the acquisition conditions set as game point acquisition conditions, those with a relatively high degree of difficulty to achieve, and those with a relatively long play time that the user is expected to drop to achieve For, the amount of game points awarded at the time of achievement may be increased as compared to other acquisition conditions.
　また、対戦プレイに設定される獲得条件と、シングルプレイに設定される獲得条件とで、獲得できるゲームポイントの大きさを異なるようにしてもよい。例えば、一定時間、対戦プレイをプレイして獲得条件を達成した場合のゲームポイントの獲得量の期待値が、シングルプレイをプレイして獲得条件を達成した場合のゲームポイントの獲得量の期待値より大きくなるように構成することで、ユーザに対し、対戦プレイをするよう促すことができる。 Also, the size of game points that can be acquired may be different depending on the acquisition conditions set for the battle play and the acquisition conditions set for the single play. For example, the expected value of game points when playing the game play for a certain time and achieving the acquisition conditions is higher than the expected value of game points when playing the single play and the acquisition conditions are achieved. By configuring to be large, it is possible to prompt the user to play a battle.
　＜動作＞
　以下、携帯端末１００でゲームプログラム１２１が実行されることにより、携帯端末１００とサーバ２００とが通信しつつ、ユーザにゲームのプレイ環境を提供する処理を説明する。具体的には、（１）ゲームプログラム１２１が、ユーザのゲームプレイにより、クエストをクリアした際にゲームポイントをユーザに付与する処理と、（２）ゲームプログラム１２１が、抽選をするための入力操作をユーザから受け付けることにより抽選を行い、抽選結果をユーザに報知する処理と、（３）ゲームプログラム１２１の起動時に、有効期限が一定期間内に徒過する抽選権の有無および数をユーザへ報知する処理と、について説明する。 <Operation>
Hereinafter, a process of providing a game play environment to the user while the mobile terminal 100 and the server 200 communicate with each other by executing the game program 121 on the mobile terminal 100 will be described. Specifically, (1) a process in which the game program 121 grants a game point to the user when the game program 121 clears the quest by the user's game play, and (2) an input operation for the game program 121 to draw a lottery. And a process of notifying the user of the lottery result, and (3) informing the user of the number and the number of lottery rights whose expiration date passes within a certain period when the game program 121 is activated. The processing to be performed will be described.
　図２７は、ユーザのゲームプレイによりユーザがクエストをクリアした際の、ゲームポイントをユーザに付与する処理を示すフローチャートである。 FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing a process of giving game points to the user when the user clears the quest by the user's game play.
　ステップＳ８０１において、携帯端末１００のゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ユーザの入力操作に応じてゲームを進行させ、ユーザがクエストをクリアした場合に、クエストをクリアしたこと、及び、クエストに設定されるサブ報酬獲得条件のうちユーザが達成したものとをサーバ２００へ送信する。 In step S801, the game progress processing unit 192 of the mobile terminal 100 advances the game according to the user's input operation, and when the user clears the quest, the game progress processing unit 192 clears the quest and sets the sub for the quest. Of the reward acquisition conditions, what the user has achieved is transmitted to the server 200.
　ステップＳ８０３において、携帯端末１００のゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ユーザがクエストのプレイ前に既に獲得している経験値に、クエストのクリアにより獲得される経験値を加算し、加算後の経験値をサーバ２００へ送信する。例えば、クエストのプレイ内容に応じて、ユーザが獲得する経験値が異なることとしてもよいし、消費アイテムの使用により発揮される効果に応じて、ユーザが獲得する経験値が増加することとしてもよい。 In step S803, the game progress processing unit 192 of the mobile terminal 100 adds the experience value acquired by clearing the quest to the experience value that the user has already acquired before playing the quest, and uses the experience value after the addition. Send to server 200. For example, the experience value acquired by the user may differ according to the play content of the quest, or the experience value acquired by the user may increase according to the effect exhibited by the use of the consumption item. .
　ステップＳ８０５において、携帯端末１００のゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ステップＳ８０３において加算された加算後の経験値が、レベルごとに設定される閾値に達しているか否かを判断する。加算後の経験値が、レベルごとに設定される閾値に達している場合（ステップＳ８０５においてＹＥＳ）、ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ステップＳ８０７の処理を行い、そうでない場合（ステップＳ８０５においてＮＯ）、ステップＳ８０９の処理を行う。 In step S805, the game progress processing unit 192 of the mobile terminal 100 determines whether or not the added experience value added in step S803 has reached a threshold set for each level. If the experience value after the addition has reached the threshold set for each level (YES in step S805), game progress processing unit 192 performs the process of step S807, otherwise (NO in step S805). The process of step S809 is performed.
　ステップＳ８０７において、ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ユーザの経験値が閾値を超えてレベルアップしたことを、タッチスクリーン１５に表示する等によりユーザへ報知する。 In step S807, the game progress processing unit 192 notifies the user that the experience value of the user has increased beyond the threshold by displaying on the touch screen 15 or the like.
　ステップＳ８０９において、ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、サブ報酬獲得条件、経験値の蓄積によるレベルアップなどのゲームポイント獲得条件に基づいて、クエストのクリアにより加算されるゲームポイントの合計値を算出する。ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、この算出結果を、クエストの開始前に既にユーザが獲得済みのゲームポイントに加算する。 In step S809, the game progress processing unit 192 calculates the total value of the game points to be added by clearing the quest based on the sub reward acquisition conditions and game point acquisition conditions such as level up by accumulation of experience values. The game progress processing unit 192 adds this calculation result to the game points already acquired by the user before the start of the quest.
　ステップＳ８１１において、ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ステップＳ８０９において加算されたゲームポイントの合計値が、上限値として設定される閾値を超えるか否かを判断する。例えば、ゲームポイントが０ポイント～９９ポイントの範囲内の数値である場合、上限値として設定される閾値の値を閾値「１００」とする。ステップＳ８０９で加算されたゲームポイントの合計値が、例えば合計値「１０５」である場合、ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ゲームポイントの合計値が閾値「１００」を超えると判断する（ステップＳ８１１においてＹＥＳ）。ステップＳ８１１において、ゲームポイントの合計値が、上限値として設定される閾値を超えると判断される場合（ステップＳ８１１においてＹＥＳ）、ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ステップＳ８１３の処理を行い、ゲームポイントの合計値が、上限値として設定される閾値を超えないと判断される場合（ステップＳ８１１においてＮＯ）、ステップＳ８１５の処理を行う。 In step S811, the game progress processing unit 192 determines whether or not the total value of the game points added in step S809 exceeds a threshold set as an upper limit value. For example, when the game point is a numerical value within the range of 0 to 99 points, the threshold value set as the upper limit value is set to the threshold value “100”. If the total value of the game points added in step S809 is, for example, the total value “105”, the game progress processing unit 192 determines that the total value of the game points exceeds the threshold value “100” (YES in step S811). ). If it is determined in step S811 that the total value of game points exceeds the threshold set as the upper limit value (YES in step S811), game progress processing unit 192 performs the process of step S813, and totals game points. When it is determined that the value does not exceed the threshold set as the upper limit value (NO in step S811), the process of step S815 is performed.
　ステップＳ８５１において、サーバ２００は、携帯端末１００から、携帯端末１００に対応付けられるユーザについて、クエストをクリアしたこと、及び、クエストに設定されるサブ報酬獲得条件のうちユーザが達成したものについての情報とを受信し、受信内容に応じてデータベースのユーザ情報２５３を更新する。サーバ２００は、例えば、図２３の例に示すクリア済み／未クリア２５５Ｃ及びサブ報酬達成状況２５５を、携帯端末１００から受信した情報に基づいて更新する。 In step S851, the server 200 clears the quest for the user associated with the mobile terminal 100 from the mobile terminal 100, and information on what the user has achieved among the sub-reward acquisition conditions set in the quest. And the user information 253 of the database is updated according to the received contents. For example, the server 200 updates the cleared / uncleared 255C and the sub reward achievement status 255 illustrated in the example of FIG. 23 based on the information received from the mobile terminal 100.
　ステップＳ８５３において、サーバ２００は、携帯端末１００から、携帯端末１００に対応付けられるユーザについて、ユーザが獲得した経験値の情報を受信し、受信内容に応じてデータベースのユーザ情報２５３を更新する。 In step S853, the server 200 receives, from the mobile terminal 100, information on experience values acquired by the user for the user associated with the mobile terminal 100, and updates the user information 253 in the database according to the received content.
　ステップＳ８５５において、サーバ２００は、クエストのサブ報酬獲得条件の達成状況、クエストのクリアにより加算される経験値などステップＳ８５１及びステップＳ８５３で携帯端末１００から受信した情報に基づいて、携帯端末１００のユーザがクエストをクリアすることにより加算されるゲームポイントの合計値を算出する。サーバ２００は、この算出結果を、クエストの開始前に既にユーザが獲得済みのゲームポイントとしてサーバ２００に記録される値に加算する。 In step S855, the server 200 uses the information received from the portable terminal 100 in steps S851 and S853, such as the achievement status of the quest sub-reward acquisition condition, the experience value added by clearing the quest, and the like. Calculates the total value of game points to be added by clearing the quest. The server 200 adds this calculation result to a value recorded in the server 200 as a game point that the user has already acquired before the start of the quest.
　ステップＳ８５７において、サーバ２００は、ステップＳ８５５において加算されたゲームポイントの合計値が、上限値として設定される閾値を超えるか否かを判断する。ステップＳ８５５で加算されたゲームポイントの合計値が、上限値として設定される閾値を超えると判断される場合（ステップＳ８５７においてＹＥＳ）、サーバ２００は、ステップＳ８５９の処理を行い、そうでない場合（ステップＳ８５７においてＮＯ）、ステップＳ８６１の処理を行う。 In step S857, the server 200 determines whether or not the total value of the game points added in step S855 exceeds a threshold set as the upper limit value. When it is determined that the total value of the game points added in step S855 exceeds the threshold set as the upper limit value (YES in step S857), server 200 performs the process of step S859; (NO in S857), the process of step S861 is performed.
　ステップＳ８５９において、（Ａ）サーバ２００は、ステップＳ８５７において閾値を超える超過分のゲームポイントを、ユーザが保有するゲームポイントであるとしてデータベースを更新する。例えば、ステップＳ８５５におけるゲームポイントの合計値が、例えば合計値「１０５」であり、ゲームポイントの合計値と比較するための閾値が閾値「１００」である場合、超過分のゲームポイントは、合計値「１０５」と閾値「１００」との差分であるゲームポイント数「５」である。サーバ２００は、ゲームポイント数「５」を、ユーザが保有するゲームポイントとしてデータベースを更新する。ステップＳ８５９において、（Ｂ）サーバ２００は、ゲームポイントの合計値が閾値を超えたことにより抽選権をユーザに設定し、設定の時点に基づいて、抽選権の取得日時を特定する。サーバ２００は、抽選権の有効期限を設定する。サーバ２００は、例えば、抽選権の取得のタイミングとして特定された取得日時から一定期間後（例えば２週間後）を、抽選権の有効期限と設定し、設定結果に基づいてデータベース（例えば、図２５に示す抽選権の管理状況２５７）を更新する。ステップＳ８５９において、（Ｃ）サーバ２００は、抽選権の設定の結果を携帯端末１００へ送信する。サーバ２００は、抽選権の設定の結果として、携帯端末１００のユーザが抽選権を付与されたこと及び抽選権の有効期限の情報を携帯端末１００へ送信する。 In step S859, (A) the server 200 updates the database, assuming that the excess game points exceeding the threshold value in step S857 are game points held by the user. For example, if the total value of the game points in step S855 is, for example, the total value “105” and the threshold value for comparison with the total value of the game points is the threshold value “100”, the excess game points are The number of game points is “5” which is the difference between “105” and the threshold value “100”. The server 200 updates the database with the game point number “5” as the game points held by the user. In step S859, (B) the server 200 sets the lottery right for the user when the total value of the game points exceeds the threshold, and specifies the acquisition date of the lottery right based on the time of setting. The server 200 sets the expiration date of the lottery right. For example, the server 200 sets the expiration date of the lottery right after a certain period (for example, two weeks later) from the acquisition date and time specified as the acquisition timing of the lottery right, and a database (for example, FIG. 25) The lottery right management status 257) shown in FIG. In step S <b> 859, (C) the server 200 transmits the result of setting the lottery right to the mobile terminal 100. As a result of the setting of the lottery right, the server 200 transmits information on the fact that the user of the portable terminal 100 has been granted the lottery right and the expiration date of the lottery right to the portable terminal 100.
　ステップＳ８６１において、サーバ２００は、ステップＳ８５５において加算されたゲームポイントの合計値をデータベースにより保持する。 In step S861, the server 200 holds the total value of the game points added in step S855 in the database.
　ステップＳ８１３において、携帯端末１００のゲーム進行処理部１９２は、（Ａ）ゲームポイントの合計値が閾値を超えたことによりサーバ２００がステップＳ８５９の処理で設定する抽選権の設定内容をサーバ２００から受信する。ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、（Ｂ）ゲームポイントの合計値が、閾値を超えることによりユーザに抽選権が付与されたこと、及び、抽選権の有効期限の情報を、タッチスクリーン１５に表示する等によりユーザへ報知する。ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、（Ｃ）ゲームポイントの合計値が閾値を超えた超過分のゲームポイントを、ユーザが保有するゲームポイントとしてタッチスクリーン１５に表示する。 In step S813, the game progress processing unit 192 of the mobile terminal 100 receives (A) from the server 200 the setting contents of the lottery right that the server 200 sets in the process of step S859 when the total value of the game points exceeds the threshold value. To do. The game progress processing unit 192 displays (B) the lottery right granted to the user when the total value of the game points exceeds the threshold value, and information on the expiration date of the lottery right on the touch screen 15. To inform the user. The game progress processing unit 192 displays (C) the excess game points whose total game points exceed the threshold value on the touch screen 15 as game points held by the user.
　ステップＳ８１５において、ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ステップＳ８０９において加算されたゲームポイントの合計値をタッチスクリーン１５に表示する。 In step S815, the game progress processing unit 192 displays the total value of the game points added in step S809 on the touch screen 15.
　図２８は、抽選をするための入力操作をユーザから受け付けて抽選を実行し、抽選結果である追加コンテンツをユーザに付与する処理を示すフローチャートである。 FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing a process of receiving an input operation for performing a lottery from the user, executing the lottery, and giving the user additional content as a lottery result.
　ステップＳ９０１において、携帯端末１００のゲーム進行処理部１９２は、タッチスクリーン１５に、抽選権を使用して抽選をするか、仮想通貨を使用して抽選をするかの選択を受け付ける画面を表示してユーザの入力操作を受け付ける。ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、抽選を抽選権により行うか、仮想通貨により行うかの入力結果をサーバ２００へ送信する。 In step S <b> 901, the game progress processing unit 192 of the mobile terminal 100 displays a screen on the touch screen 15 that accepts a selection of a lottery using a lottery right or a lottery using a virtual currency. Accept user input operations. The game progress processing unit 192 transmits to the server 200 an input result indicating whether the lottery is performed using the lottery right or the virtual currency.
　ステップＳ９０３において、ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ステップＳ９０１における入力操作の結果に応じて、抽選権の保有数または仮想通貨の保有数を減算する。 In step S903, the game progress processing unit 192 subtracts the number of lottery rights held or the number of virtual currency held according to the result of the input operation in step S901.
　ステップＳ９５１において、サーバ２００は、抽選を抽選権により行うか、仮想通貨により行うかのユーザの入力操作の結果を携帯端末１００から受信し、受信内容に基づきユーザ管理テーブル２５３Ａを更新する。例えば、サーバ２００は、ユーザが複数の抽選権を保有している状態で、抽選権により抽選を行う入力操作を受け付けた場合、有効期限の到来が最も近い抽選権を消費するようデータベースを更新する。また、例えば、サーバ２００は、ユーザが仮想通貨を使用して抽選を行う場合は、ユーザが保有する仮想通貨の保有量を、抽選に必要な量だけ消費するようデータベースを更新する。 In step S951, the server 200 receives the result of the user's input operation whether to perform the lottery with the lottery right or the virtual currency from the mobile terminal 100, and updates the user management table 253A based on the received content. For example, when the server 200 accepts an input operation for performing lottery with a lottery right in a state where the user has a plurality of lottery rights, the server 200 updates the database so that the lottery right with the closest expiration date is consumed. . In addition, for example, when the user performs a lottery using virtual currency, the server 200 updates the database so that the amount of virtual currency held by the user is consumed by the amount necessary for the lottery.
　ステップＳ９５３において、サーバ２００は、（Ａ）抽選処理を行い、抽選により当選した追加コンテンツを特定する。例えば、ユーザが抽選を行ってゲームキャラクタを獲得する場合、各ゲームキャラクタについて予め設定された確率に従って、いずれかのゲームキャラクタを、ユーザが当選した追加コンテンツとして特定する。サーバ２００は、（Ｂ）抽選結果として、当選した追加コンテンツの情報を、携帯端末１００へ送信する。サーバ２００は、（Ｃ）抽選により当選した当選内容に基づいて、データベースを更新する。例えば、ユーザがゲームキャラクタを抽選により獲得した場合、ユーザが抽選により新たに使用可能となったゲームキャラクタを特定する情報に基づき、プレイ進行状況２５６の使用可能キャラクタ２５６Ｂを更新する。 In step S953, the server 200 performs (A) lottery processing, and identifies the additional content won by the lottery. For example, when a user performs a lottery to acquire a game character, one of the game characters is specified as additional content won by the user according to a probability set in advance for each game character. The server 200 transmits information on the selected additional content to the mobile terminal 100 as a result of (B) lottery. The server 200 updates the database based on the winning contents won by (C) lottery. For example, when the user acquires a game character by lottery, the usable character 256B of the play progress status 256 is updated based on information specifying a game character that is newly available by the user.
　ステップＳ９０５において、携帯端末１００のゲーム進行処理部１９２は、抽選により当選した抽選結果をサーバ２００から受信し、抽選により獲得した追加コンテンツを、タッチスクリーン１５に表示する等によりユーザに報知する。 In step S905, the game progress processing unit 192 of the mobile terminal 100 receives the lottery result won by the lottery from the server 200, and notifies the user of the additional content acquired by the lottery by displaying it on the touch screen 15 or the like.
　図２９は、ゲームプログラムの起動時に、有効期限が一定期間内に到来する抽選権の保有数をユーザに提示する処理を示すフローチャートである。 FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing a process of presenting to the user the number of lottery rights whose expiration date comes within a certain period when the game program is started.
　ステップＳ１００１において、携帯端末１００のゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ゲームプログラム１２１の起動時の処理として、サーバ２００に、ユーザのゲームプレイの進行状況に関する各種の情報を問い合わせる。ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、例えば、ユーザが保有している抽選権の保有状況をサーバ２００へ問い合わせる。 In step S1001, the game progress processing unit 192 of the mobile terminal 100 inquires the server 200 about various types of information regarding the progress of the game play of the user, as processing when the game program 121 is activated. For example, the game progress processing unit 192 inquires of the server 200 about the lottery right possessed by the user.
　ステップＳ１０５１において、サーバ２００は、携帯端末１００からの問い合わせに応答してデータベースを参照し、ユーザのゲームプレイの進行状況に関する各種の情報を応答する。サーバ２００は、例えば、ユーザが保有している抽選権の保有状況を、抽選権の管理状況２５７を参照して携帯端末１００へ応答する。 In step S1051, the server 200 refers to the database in response to the inquiry from the mobile terminal 100, and responds with various information regarding the progress of the user's game play. For example, the server 200 responds to the portable terminal 100 with reference to the lottery right management status 257 regarding the lottery right holding status held by the user.
　ステップＳ１００３において、携帯端末１００のゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ユーザが保有している抽選権の保有状況をサーバ２００から受信する。 In step S1003, the game progress processing unit 192 of the mobile terminal 100 receives from the server 200 the possession status of the lottery right possessed by the user.
　ステップＳ１００５において、ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、一定期間内に有効期限が徒過する抽選権それぞれについて、抽選権の有効期限をタッチスクリーン１５に表示する等によりユーザへ報知する。ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、例えば、一定期間内に有効期限が徒過する抽選権の数を、タッチスクリーン１５に表示する等でユーザへ報知することとしてもよい。 In step S1005, the game progress processing unit 192 notifies the user of the lottery right whose expiration date passes within a certain period by displaying the expiration date of the lottery right on the touch screen 15 or the like. The game progress processing unit 192 may notify the user of, for example, the number of lottery rights whose expiration date passes within a certain period on the touch screen 15.
　ステップＳ１００７において、ゲーム進行処理部１９２は、ゲームプログラム１２１の起動時の処理を継続する。 In step S1007, the game progress processing unit 192 continues the process when the game program 121 is activated.
　＜画面の表示例＞
　図３０は、ユーザのゲームプレイによりゲームポイントが蓄積された結果、ユーザに抽選権を獲得させる処理の画面の表示例を示す。図３０に示す画面例は、図２７に示すステップＳ８１３と対応する。 <Screen display example>
FIG. 30 shows a display example of a screen of a process for allowing the user to acquire a lottery right as a result of the accumulation of game points by the user's game play. The screen example shown in FIG. 30 corresponds to step S813 shown in FIG.
　図３０の図示例（Ａ）に示すように、携帯端末１００は、タッチスクリーン１５に、クエストのクリアによりユーザが獲得したゲームポイントの合計値を示す獲得ゲームポイント１３４Ａを表示する。携帯端末１００は、図２６に示すゲームポイント獲得条件のうちいずれを達成することでゲームポイントを獲得したかを示す詳細表示部１３４Ｂをタッチスクリーン１５に表示する。これにより、ユーザに対し、これらゲームポイント獲得条件を達成してゲームをプレイするよう動機づけることができる。携帯端末１００は、ユーザがクエストのプレイ前に既に獲得しているゲームポイントを示す獲得済みポイント表示部１３４Ｄをタッチスクリーン１５に表示する。獲得済みポイント表示部１３４Ｄは、ゲームポイントの合計値と比較するための上限値を示す閾値（例えば、閾値「１００」）の情報を含む。携帯端末１００は、獲得済みポイント表示部１３４Ｄに示されるゲームポイントに対し、クエストのクリアにより加算されるゲームポイントの量を示す加算量表示部１３４Ｃをタッチスクリーン１５に表示する。 30, the mobile terminal 100 displays the acquired game points 134 </ b> A indicating the total value of the game points acquired by the user by clearing the quest on the touch screen 15. The mobile terminal 100 displays on the touch screen 15 a detailed display part 134B indicating which of the game point acquisition conditions shown in FIG. Thereby, it can motivate a user to achieve these game point acquisition conditions and to play a game. The portable terminal 100 displays an acquired point display unit 134D indicating the game points that the user has already acquired before playing the quest on the touch screen 15.
