For example, the control unit 13 randomly selects one item from the items stored in the collection item table 122, and determines the selected item as an item to be provided to the user who has made the game medium acquisition request. Then, the control unit 13 transmits information about the determined item from the communication unit 11 to the communication terminal 20. Further, the control unit 13 provides the determined item to the user by adding the determined item to the user-owned item table 121 of the user.

Further, the control unit 13 updates the information of the storage unit 12 assuming that the determined item has been provided. In the present embodiment, the control unit 13 deletes the item determined to be provided to the user from the collected item table 122 and stores the item in the provided item table 123 to update the item. At this time, the control unit 13 associates the determined item with the user identification information of the user who has made the game medium acquisition request, and stores the determined item in the provided item table 123.

Further, the control unit 13 generates information for displaying various game screens on the display unit 22 of the communication terminal 20.

The control unit 13 can set a period for the collected item table 122. The user can abandon possession of the item he owns and acquire the abandoned item within a set period of time. When the set period elapses, the control unit 13 may delete the information about the items stored in the collection item table 122. That is, even if the control unit 13 deletes all the items stored in the collected item table 122 from the collected item table 122 after the set predetermined period elapses after enabling the user to abandon the item. good.

The control unit 13 may separately determine the period during which the possession of the item owned by the user can be abandoned (first period) and the period during which the user can acquire the item from the collected item table 122 (second period). When the control unit 13 sets such a period, each user can abandon the item in the set first period. In addition, each user may acquire the game medium abandoned by each user in the first period in the second period. The control unit 13 sets such a period as, for example, from July 24, 2014 to July 30, 2014, after the first period, from July 31, 2014 to August 6, 2014. It may be provided continuously so that the second period is provided. When the control unit 13 provides a period, the storage unit 12 may have a collection item table 122 for each combination of the first period and the second period provided. Further, when the set second period elapses, the control unit 13 may delete the information about the items stored in the collected item table 122.

When the communication unit 11 receives the request for presenting the information stored in the collection item table 122 from the communication terminal 20 (hereinafter, referred to as “information presentation request”), the information presentation unit 14 receives the collection item in response to the information presentation request. Information about a plurality of game media stored in the table 122 is transmitted to the communication terminal 20. In addition to each item (item name, item image, etc.) of the collected item table 122 shown in FIG. 3, the information presenting unit 14 collects, for example, the quantity of items stored in the collected item table 122, the quantity of each item type, and the like. The statistical information of the items stored in the item table 122 may be transmitted to the communication terminal 20.

In addition, the information presentation request may include specific conditions at the input of the user. The information presenting unit 14 can extract the information of the item satisfying the specific condition and transmit it to the communication terminal 20 in response to the information presenting request including the specific condition.

When the communication unit 11 receives the information presentation request regarding a specific user from the communication terminal 20, the information presentation unit 14 displays the information about the specific user stored in the user information table 124 in response to the information presentation request. It may be transmitted to the communication terminal 20. The information about the user is, for example, each item (registered name, game play period, affiliation group, etc.) of the user information table 124 shown in FIG. The information presentation request regarding a specific user is, for example, by inputting the user identification information of the user who abandoned the item to the communication terminal 20 when the user wants to know the information of the user who sold the predetermined item. , Or by selecting an image or the like showing the user. By providing information about the user, the user can obtain information about the user who has abandoned the item, have an opportunity to newly interact with the abandoned user, and activate the interaction between the users.

The communication terminal 20 includes a communication unit 21, a display unit 22, an input unit 23, and a control unit 24.

The communication unit 21 transmits and receives data used in the game by communicating with the information processing device 10 by at least one of wireless and wired communication.

When the user selects the "finish" button 38 by touch operation or the like, the operation screen for abandoning the item ends, and for example, the top screen of this game is displayed.

Next, an example of a display screen when the user performs an operation of acquiring an item will be described. When the user operates the communication terminal 20 and the information presentation request is transmitted from the communication terminal 20 to the information processing device 10, the information processing device 10 responds to the information presentation request and stores the information in the collection item table 122. Information about the item is transmitted to the communication terminal 20. The information about the items stored in the collected item table 122 is displayed on the display unit 22 of the communication terminal 20.

FIG. 10 is an example of a screen of information (item table information) regarding items stored in the collected item table 122 displayed by the display unit 22. On the item table information screen, the item acquisition period, the item table outline, and the item table details are displayed. The item acquisition period indicates the period during which the items stored in the collected item table 122 can be acquired.

The item table summary shows a summary of information about the items stored in the collected item table 122. In the example of FIG. 10, how many items are stored for each item type is shown. Below the item table outline, a "send game media acquisition request" button 41 is displayed. When the user selects the "send game medium acquisition request" button 41 by touch operation or the like, the communication terminal 20 transmits the game medium acquisition request to the information processing device 10.

The information processing device 10 determines an item to be provided to the user in response to the game medium acquisition request, and transmits information about the determined item to the communication terminal 20. FIG. 11 is an example of a notification screen for notifying that an item has been acquired. Information about the acquired item, such as the item name and item image, is displayed on the notification screen. Further, on the notification screen, a "send game medium acquisition request" button 41 and an "end" button 43 are displayed. When the user selects the "send game medium acquisition request" button 41 by touch operation or the like, the communication terminal 20 retransmits the game medium acquisition request to the information processing device 10. When the user selects the "finish" button 43 by a touch operation or the like, the operation screen for acquiring the item ends, and for example, the top screen of the game is displayed.

With reference to FIG. 10 again, the item table details are displays provided for viewing the details of the information about the items stored in the collected item table 122. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the user selects an item attribute, item type, etc. from the pull-down menu, and then taps the "search" button 42 to search for an item that matches the selected content. be able to. When the user taps the "search" button 42 or the like, the communication terminal 20 transmits an information presentation request regarding an item matching the content selected by the user to the information processing device 10. In the information processing device 10, the control unit 13 determines an item that matches the content selected by the user based on the information presentation request, and transmits the determined information to the communication terminal 20. The search is not limited to the one performed by the pull-down menu. For example, the user can perform a keyword search by inputting a keyword of an item to be searched into the communication terminal 20 and tapping the "search" button 42.

FIG. 12 is an example of a search result display screen. On the search result display screen, the number of items corresponding to the search condition and information on the item corresponding to the search condition are displayed.

Next, the processing performed by the information processing system 1 will be described with reference to the sequence diagram shown as an example in FIG.

When the user uses the communication terminal 20 to perform an operation of an abandonment instruction for an item owned by the user, the communication terminal 20 transmits an abandonment instruction including information about the item to be abandoned to the information processing device 10 (step S1).

Upon receiving the abandonment instruction, the information processing apparatus 10 deletes the item related to the abandonment instruction from the user-owned item table 121 associated with the user who issued the abandonment instruction (step S2).

Further, the information processing device 10 stores the item related to the abandonment instruction in the collection item table 122 in association with the user who has given the abandonment instruction (step S3).

Next, when the user uses the communication terminal 20 to operate the information presentation request regarding the items stored in the collected item table 122, the communication terminal 20 transmits the information presentation request to the information processing device 10 (step). S4).

The information processing apparatus 10 that has received the information presentation request presents information about the items stored in the collection item table 122 according to the content of the information presentation request (step S5). The information processing device 10 presents the information about the items stored in the collected item table 122 by transmitting the information to the communication terminal 20.

When the user operates the game medium acquisition request using the communication terminal 20, the communication terminal 20 transmits the game medium acquisition request to the information processing device 10 (step 6).

Upon receiving the game medium acquisition request, the information processing device 10 randomly determines, for example, an item to be provided to the user from the items stored in the collected item table 122 (step S7).

Then, the information processing device 10 transmits information about the determined item to the communication terminal 20 (step S8). In this case, the information processing device 10 adds and stores the determined item to the user-owned item table 121 associated with the user who is determined to provide the item.

Further, the information processing device 10 updates the determined item as provided (step S9). Specifically, the information processing device 10 deletes the determined item from the collection item table 122. Further, the information processing device 10 stores the determined item in the provided item table 123.

As described above, the information processing device 10 according to the present embodiment stores the items abandoned by each user in the collection item table 122. Then, each user can acquire the items stored in the collection item table 122 by transmitting the game medium acquisition request from the communication terminal 20. Therefore, according to the information processing device 10, it is possible to increase the variation of the acquisition method of the game medium and improve the interest in the game.

Further, the user can browse the information about the items stored in the collected item table 122 by transmitting the information presentation request from the communication terminal 20 to the information processing device 10. Since the user can determine whether or not to make a game medium acquisition request based on the browsed content, the information processing device 10 enhances the acquisition predictability of an item of a predetermined item type (for example, an item having a high rare value). be able to. In particular, when the ratio of items of a predetermined item type stored in the collected item table 122 is large, the user can acquire the item of the item type with a high probability.
In addition, since it is difficult to acquire items having a particularly high rare value, there is an inconvenience that the user is given the impression that the possibility of acquisition is extremely low, and the interest in the game is reduced. In this respect, the information processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment can improve the acquisition predictability of an item having a high rare value), so that such inconvenience can be reduced.

In addition, the item provided to the user may be grown by the user who has abandoned the item in advance. Therefore, the user who has acquired the item that has already grown does not need to grow the item. This may be useful, for example, for a user who has just started the game and has not been able to grow the item very much, because there is no need to grow the item.

Further, since the item provided to the user is associated with the user who abandoned the item, the user who acquired the item can recognize, for example, the user who abandoned the item. Therefore, when the user who acquired the item and the user who abandoned the item do not interact with each other, it can be an opportunity to generate a new interaction.

Although the present invention has been described above based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications and modifications based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and modifications are within the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each means, each step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to be logically inconsistent, and a plurality of means, steps, etc. can be combined or divided into one. ..

For example, the control unit 13 determines, among the items included in the collected item table 122, an item associated with the user identification information different from the user identification information included in the game medium acquisition request as an item to be provided to the user. You may. As a result, it is possible to prevent the item that the user has abandoned by himself / herself from being provided to the user again, and it becomes easy to prevent the user from inducing dissatisfaction.

Further, when the information about the user associated with the item determined by the control unit 13 based on the game medium acquisition request from the user matches the information about the user included in the game medium acquisition request, the control unit 13 determines. It can be recognized that the determined item has been abandoned by the user who made the game medium acquisition request. In this case, the control unit 13 cancels the determination of the item and redetermines the item to be provided to the user from the items stored in the collection item table 122, so that the item abandoned by the user is provided to the user again. It may be prevented from being done.

In this case, the control unit 13 can also let the user select whether or not to cancel the determination of the determined item. For example, the control unit 13 displays on the display unit 22 of the communication terminal 20 to select whether or not to cancel the determination of the item, in addition to the fact that the item abandoned by the user has been determined as the item to be provided. .. When the user chooses to cancel the item determination, the control unit 13 cancels the item determination and redetermines the item to be provided to the user. When the user chooses not to cancel the determination of the item, the control unit 13 provides the determined item to the user. In this method, even if the determined item is abandoned by the user who made the game medium acquisition request, it is determined whether or not the item is provided based on the intention of the user.

In the above embodiment, it has been explained that each item is stored in the collection item table 122 in a state in which the parameters related to the item are changed from the initial value state (growth state) as the game progresses. The items stored in the item table 122 are not limited to the grown state. The item may be stored in the collection item table 122, for example, in an ungrown initial state, that is, in a state where the parameter has an initial value. In this case, the item determined in response to the game medium acquisition request is provided to the user in the initial state. In this case, the user can enjoy growing the item as an element of the game.

In addition, the item may be provided in either a grown state or an initial state at the user's option. That is, when the item is provided to the user, the control unit 13 causes the display unit 22 of the communication terminal 20 to indicate whether the item is provided in the grown state or in the initial state. Then, the control unit 13 provides the item in a state selected by the user. In this method, items are provided based on the user's will. Therefore, for users who expect to get items in a grown state, items are provided in a grown state, and for users who want to enjoy growing items as an element of the game, initial The item is provided in the state.

Further, when a user who is newly provided with an item from the collected item table 122 advances the game by using the provided item, the control unit 13 abandons the newly provided item in the past. The user may be given a privilege. The control unit 13 can identify the user who has abandoned the newly provided item in the past by referring to the correspondence between the item and the user who has abandoned the item in the provided item table 123 shown in FIG. 4, for example. By granting the privilege in this way, it is possible to encourage the user to abandon the item.

Further, the control unit 13 may enable acceptance of a game medium acquisition request from the user when the number of items stored in the collection item table 122 is equal to or more than a predetermined quantity (for example, 100 or more). When the number of items stored in the collected item table 122 is less than a predetermined quantity, it is assumed that some users repeatedly request the game medium acquisition until the items to be acquired in the collected item table 122 can be acquired. However, it is possible to maintain the randomness of the items provided to the user to a certain level or more by enabling the acceptance of the game medium acquisition request when the number of items stored in the collected item table 122 is equal to or more than a predetermined quantity. can.

In the above embodiment, the control unit 13 has explained that the information about the abandoned item is stored in the collected item table 122 each time the item is abandoned. Not limited to every time an item is abandoned. The control unit 13 may periodically or irregularly store the abandoned items in the collected item table 122. For example, the control unit 13 may collectively store the items abandoned by the user in the collected item table 122 at 0 o'clock every day. This makes it easier for the user to check the information of the items stored in the collected item table 122 based on the timing when the new item is stored in the collected item table 122.

However, it is desirable that the timing at which the control unit 13 updates the item provided to the user as provided is performed when the control unit 13 provides the item to the user. In this way, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the same item will be provided to a plurality of different users in duplicate.

In the above embodiment, the control unit 13 has explained that the determined item is updated as provided by deleting the item determined to be provided to the user from the collected item table 122, but the update is not limited to this method. .. For example, the control unit 13 can update the collected item table 122 as provided by setting the provided flag for the determined item. In this case, the collected item table 122 shown in FIG. 3 further has a column of "provided flag" associated with each item. The control unit 13 can update that the item has been provided by setting the provided flag in the "provided flag" column corresponding to the determined item. In this case, the storage unit 12 does not have to include the provided item table 123. Further, when the control unit 13 determines an item to be provided to the user based on the game medium acquisition request, for example, one item among the items for which the "provided flag" is not set is randomly selected and selected. Determine the item to be provided to the user.

Further, when the user abandons an item of a specific item type, the control unit 13 does not have to store the item in the collection item table 122. For example, when the rarity value of an item increases in the order of item types 1 to 6, the control unit 13 stores items having a predetermined rarity value or less (for example, items of item types 1 and 2) in the collection item table 122. You don't have to let it. As a result, items having a predetermined rare value or more are stored in the collected item table 122, so that it is possible to improve the predictability of acquisition of items having a high rare value.

Further, the control unit 13 may set conditions for the user to make a game medium acquisition request. For example, the control unit 13 may set that the user consumes a predetermined amount of currency or a dedicated game medium that can be used in the game as a condition for making a game medium acquisition request. Such currency or dedicated game media can be obtained as a privilege, for example, when the user abandons the item.

Further, in the above embodiment, it has been described that when the user makes a game medium acquisition request, an item determined from the items stored in one collection item table 122 is provided, but the collection item table 122 is one. Not limited to. There may be multiple collection item tables. Items abandoned by the user are stored in each of the plurality of collected item tables. The control unit 13 provides the user with an item determined from one collection item table 122 selected from a plurality of collection item tables. At this time, one collection item to be selected is determined by a user input operation.

When there are a plurality of collected item tables, the control unit 13 may limit the users who can issue the abandonment instruction and the game medium acquisition request for each collected item table. For example, it is assumed that a plurality of collected item tables are associated with each group in this game. In this case, when the user abandons the item, the control unit 13 stores the abandoned item in the collection item table associated with the group to which the user belongs. When the user makes a game medium acquisition request, the control unit 13 determines an item to be provided to the user from the items stored in the collection item table associated with the group to which the user belongs. The control unit 13 may determine the item to be provided to the user from the items stored in the collection item table associated with the group to which the user does not belong.

In this way, when a plurality of collected item tables are associated with each group, the control unit 13 uses the user when the number of users belonging to the group is equal to or more than a predetermined number (for example, 5 or more). Enables acceptance of game media acquisition requests from. In this way, for example, when there are two users belonging to a group, it becomes easy to substantially prevent one-to-one trade of items between users.

When there are a plurality of collected item tables, the control unit 13 may classify the collected item table in which the items are stored based on the nature of the abandoned item. For example, when the abandonment instruction transmitted from the communication terminal 20 includes information indicating the time (date) when the abandoned item was originally acquired by the user who abandons the item, the control unit 13 controls each time when the abandoned item is acquired. Items may be stored in different collection item tables. That is, in this case, the plurality of item collection tables are classified according to the time when the items were acquired. When making an information presentation request and a game medium acquisition request, each user selects which time the item collection table is to be the target of the request. The control unit 13 processes each request for the item collection table selected by the user. By classifying the items stored in the collection item table for each period in this way, for example, the items acquired for a limited period of time are stored in the item collection table of the period corresponding to the limited period. A user who wants to acquire the item for a limited time can know the availability of the item by referring to the item collection table at the corresponding time, and in some cases, can acquire the item.

Further, in FIGS. 6, 7, 10, 11, and 12, the item types are represented by the number of stars, but the item types may be displayed by other methods recognizable by the user. The item type can be expressed by words such as normal, rare, super rare, and ultra rare.

Further, in the information processing system 1 according to the above embodiment, the progress screen of the game is set as a web display displayed on the communication terminal 20 based on the data generated by the information processing device 10, and the other menu screens and the like are displayed on the communication terminal. It can also be the native display displayed by the native application installed in 20. As described above, the information processing system 1 can be a hybrid game in which the information processing device 10 and the communication terminal 20 each play a part in the processing.

Further, in order to function as the information processing device 10 according to the above embodiment, an information processing device such as a computer or a mobile phone can be preferably used. In such an information processing device, a program describing processing contents for realizing each function of the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment is stored in the storage unit 12 of the information processing device 10, and the CPU of the information processing device 10 stores the program. This can be achieved by reading and executing the program.
