Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a server 1 (game server 1) and a communication terminal 2.

The server 1 includes a communication unit 10, a storage unit 11, and a control unit 12.

The communication unit 10 communicates with the communication terminal 2 by at least one of wireless and wired communication.

The storage unit 11 stores information related to the item and the item type provided to the communication terminal 2. Items are various items used in the game, such as battle cards, characters, weapons, equipment, ornaments, plants, food, etc. that make up the user's deck. good. The item type is a numerical value indicating the high rarity value of the item, a numerical value indicating the category of the item, and the like. Hereinafter, the item type will be described as a numerical value indicating the high rarity value of the item, but the item type is not limited to this.

Specifically, the storage unit 11 stores the item data 111 and the item provision information data 112.

The item data 111 stores data such as an image related to an item provided to the user in association with the item identification information. The item identification information is an identifier for uniquely identifying an item in this system. FIG. 2 shows an example of item data 111. As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the item data includes item identification information "ITM001", item name "item A", item image "item A image", attack power "1000", defense power "500", and item type "3". , Includes item group "A group". Attack power and defense power are parameters related to the strength of the item. The image data may be in any image format such as JPEG, GIF, PNG and the like. The item group is composed of a plurality of items, and the control unit 12 determines the range of the lottery target when determining one item to be provided by the lottery. Here, the items included in the B group have a higher rare value than the items included in the A group.

The item provision information data 112 stores the number of times the server 1 has provided an item to the communication terminal 2 and the information related to the provided item for each user identification information. Specifically, the item provision information data 112 stores the user identification information, the number of times the item is provided, and the provided item identification information in association with each other. The user identification information is an identifier for uniquely identifying a user in this system. The number of times the item is provided is the number of times that the server 1 provides the item to the communication terminal 2 related to each user identification information. The provided item identification information is the item identification information related to the item provided by the server 1 to the communication terminal 2 related to each user identification information. FIG. 3 shows an example of the item provision information data 112. As shown in FIG. 3, the item provision information data 112 includes, for example, user identification information “UID001”, item provision count “50 times”, provided item identification information “ITM002”, and “ITM004”.

The control unit 12 performs various controls related to the server 1. For example, the control unit 12 receives a request for an item acquisition screen (hereinafter referred to as an item acquisition screen request) from the communication terminal 2. The item acquisition screen is a user interface for the communication terminal 2 to send an item acquisition request to the server 1. When the item acquisition screen request is received, the control unit 12 transmits the data related to the item acquisition screen to the communication terminal 2 via the communication unit 10. Preferably, the item acquisition screen request includes the user identification information of the communication terminal 2.

Further, when the control unit 12 receives the item acquisition request from the communication terminal 2, the control unit 12 draws the items to be provided and provides the items. Specifically, the control unit 12 includes a first lottery means 121 and a second lottery means 122. The control unit 12 draws the items to be provided by the first lottery means 121 or the second lottery means 122 in response to the item acquisition request from the communication terminal 2. The item acquisition request includes a first item acquisition request and a second item acquisition request. When the control unit 12 determines that the first item acquisition request has been received, the control unit 12 refers to the item data 111 and the item provision information data 112 of the storage unit 11 by the first lottery means 121, and refers to the item group. Will draw an item to be provided to the communication terminal 2 from the items that have not been provided in the group A. Then, the control unit 12 provides the item to the communication terminal 2. Specifically, the first lottery means 121 transmits an item image corresponding to the item identification information related to the provided item to the communication terminal 2 via the communication unit 10 based on the item data 111. The control unit 12 adds 1 to the number of times the item is provided in the item provision information data 112 each time the item is provided to the communication terminal 2. Further, when the item is provided to the communication terminal 2, the control unit 12 records the item identification information related to the item in the item provision information data 112 as the provided item identification information.

On the other hand, when the server 1 receives the second item acquisition request, the control unit 12 refers to the item data 111 and the item provision information data 112 by the second lottery means 122, and the item groups are the A group and the B group. Lottery will be made with the items to be provided from among the items that have not been provided. Then, the second lottery means 122 provides the item to the communication terminal 2. Specifically, the second lottery means 122 transmits an item image corresponding to the item identification information related to the provided item to the communication terminal 2 via the communication unit 10 based on the item data 111.

Here, the control unit 12 enables the communication terminal 2 to transmit the second item acquisition request on the item acquisition screen when the item provision number of the item provision information data 112 of the storage unit 11 is the predetermined number of times or more. To control. Specifically, when the control unit 12 receives the item acquisition screen request from the communication terminal 2, the user of the communication terminal 2 is based on the user identification information included in the item acquisition screen request and the item provision information data 112. Acquire the number of times the item is provided related to the identification information. The control unit 12 determines whether or not the number of times the item is provided is a predetermined number of times or more. Then, when the control unit 12 determines that the number of times the item is provided is a predetermined number of times or more (for example, 25 times or more) (that is, when the number of times the item is provided by the first lottery means 121 is a predetermined number of times or more), the item acquisition is performed. Enables the transmission of the second item acquisition request on the screen (unlocks the transmission of the second item acquisition request). On the other hand, when the control unit 12 determines that the number of times the item is provided is less than the predetermined value, the control unit 12 makes it impossible to transmit the second item acquisition request on the item acquisition screen (locks the transmission of the second item acquisition request). ).

The method of extraction by the first lottery means 121 and the second lottery means 122 may be random or may be a lottery based on a predetermined algorithm. As described above, the control unit 12 provides the user with a part of the items of a plurality of types having different rare values from the predetermined item group (A group) by the first lottery means 121. Further, the control unit 12 has a rare value from a predetermined item group (A group and B group) to a user who has been provided with an item by the first lottery means 121 more than a predetermined number of times by the second lottery means 122. Offer different types of items. Since the second lottery means draws the items provided from the items included in the group A and the group B, there is a high possibility that the items having a higher rare value than the items that can be provided by the first lottery means are provided.

FIGS. 4A and 4B show an example of an item acquisition screen. FIG. 4A shows an example of an item acquisition screen when the transmission of the second item acquisition request is locked. As shown in FIG. 4A, the item acquisition screen includes a button 401a for transmitting a first item acquisition request and a button 402a for transmitting a second item acquisition request. In FIG. 4A, the fact that the transmission of the second item acquisition request is locked is displayed on the button 402a as “(locking)”. Even if the user presses the button 402b on the communication terminal 2, the second item acquisition request cannot be transmitted. FIG. 4B shows an example of an item acquisition screen when the transmission of the second item acquisition request is unlocked. As shown in FIG. 4B, the button 402b displays, for example, "turn the gacha" to indicate that the second item acquisition request can be transmitted.

Preferably, the item acquisition screen includes the remaining number information 403 for each item type related to the items included in the A group. Further, preferably, the item acquisition screen includes the remaining number information 404 for each item type related to the items included in the A group and the B group. The control unit 12 of the server 1 calculates the remaining number of items that can be provided to the user in each item group based on the provided item identification information of the item data 111 and the item provision information data 112, and the remaining number information 403 and the remaining number. Generate information 404. In FIG. 4, item data 111 having item types 1 to 4 are displayed as N (normal), UN (upper normal), R (rare), and SR (super rare), respectively. The remaining number of each item type is 35, 23, 12, 5, respectively. The remaining number information 403 and the remaining number information 404 allow the user to recognize the item types related to the items that may be provided in each of the first item acquisition request and the second item acquisition request. It should be noted that the item acquisition screen includes the remaining number information 403 for each item type, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the remaining number information 403, or instead of the remaining number information 403, information on the number of items to be acquired for each item type may be displayed on the item acquisition screen. Further, the total number of items included in the entire A group and the total number of items included in the entire B group may be displayed on the item acquisition screen. Further, the display of information for each item type may be different depending on the rarity. For example, when the rarity of the items included in each group is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, the name of the character drawn on the image or the item may be described as the information for each item type. Further, for items whose rarity is less than a predetermined value, only the remaining number or the acquired number may be displayed as information for each item type.

Further, preferably, the item acquisition screen includes the deadline information 405 related to the item acquisition request. For example, in FIG. 4, the deadline is "December 31, 2013". In this case, the communication terminal 2 can send the first item acquisition request and the second item acquisition request until the deadline, and the server 1 receives the item acquisition request until the deadline and provides the item. Further, preferably, the item acquisition screen includes in-game currency information 406 related to the first item acquisition request. For example, the in-game currency is called a ribbon, and the number of ribbons is added when a predetermined event in the game is cleared. Preferably, the first item acquisition request can send a predetermined number of ribbons in consideration.

Further, preferably, the item acquisition screen includes unlock information 407 relating to the number of times the item is provided until unlocking. For example, in FIG. 4, the unlock information 407 is displayed as "unlock when turned 10 more times". The unlock information 407 allows the user to know the number of times the first item acquisition request is required to send the second item acquisition request.

The communication terminal 2 includes a communication unit 20, a display unit 21, an operation unit 22, and a control unit 23.

The communication unit 20 communicates with the server 1 by at least one of wireless and wired communication. Specifically, the communication unit 20 transmits an item acquisition screen request to the server 1 based on the operation of the operation unit 22 by the user. Further, the communication unit 20 receives the data of the item acquisition screen for the request from the server 1. Further, the communication unit 20 transmits a first item acquisition request or a second item acquisition request to the server 1 based on the operation of the operation unit 22 by the user. Further, the communication unit 20 receives the item provided from the server 1 in response to the first item acquisition request or the second item acquisition request.

The display unit 21 is composed of a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, and the like, and outputs a display related to the game provided by the server 1. For example, the display unit 21 displays an item image related to an item provided by the server 1. Further, the display unit 21 displays an item acquisition screen.

The operation unit 22 is composed of buttons, a touch panel, and the like, and receives an input signal from a user in a game. Then, the operation unit 22 sends an input signal received from the user to the control unit 23.

The control unit 23 performs various controls related to the communication terminal 2. For example, the control unit 23 transmits an item acquisition screen request, a first item acquisition request, or a second item acquisition request to the server 1 via the communication unit 20 based on the operation of the operation unit 22 by the user.

Next, the operation of the communication system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the control unit 23 of the communication terminal 2 transmits an item acquisition screen request to the server 1 via the communication unit 20 based on the operation of the operation unit 22 by the user (step S1).

Next, when the control unit 12 of the server 1 receives the item acquisition screen request from the communication terminal 2, the user identification of the communication terminal 2 is based on the user identification information and the item provision information data 112 included in the item acquisition screen request. Acquire the number of times the item is provided related to the information. Then, the control unit 12 determines whether or not the number of times the item is provided is equal to or greater than the predetermined number of times (step S2).
When it is determined that the number of times the item is provided is a predetermined number of times or more (for example, 25 times or more) (Yes in step S2), the lock for transmitting the second item acquisition request is released on the item acquisition screen (step S3). Then, the control unit 12 transmits data related to the item acquisition screen to the communication terminal 2 via the communication unit 10 (step S5). On the other hand, when the control unit 12 determines in step S2 that the number of times the item is provided is less than a predetermined value (No in step S2), the transmission of the second item acquisition request is locked on the item acquisition screen (step S4). , Step S5, and the data related to the item acquisition screen is transmitted to the communication terminal 2.

Subsequently, the display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2 displays the received item acquisition screen (step S6). Then, the control unit 23 transmits the first item acquisition request or the second item acquisition request to the server 1 via the communication unit 20 based on the operation of the operation unit 22 by the user (step S7).

Subsequently, the control unit 12 of the server 1 determines whether the item acquisition request received from the communication terminal 2 is the first item acquisition request or the second item acquisition request (step S8). When it is determined that it is the first item acquisition request (Yes in step S8), the control unit 12 refers to the item data 111 and the item provision information data 112 of the storage unit 11 by the first lottery means 121, and the item The group draws an item to be provided to the communication terminal 2 from the items that have not been provided from the group A (step S9). Then, the control unit 12 provides the item to the communication terminal 2 (step S11).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S8 that it is not the first item acquisition request (if it is determined that it is the second item acquisition request) (No in step S8), the control unit 12 has the second lottery means 122. With reference to the item data 111 and the item provision information data 112, a lottery is performed with the item to be provided from the items not already provided from the group A and the group B (step S10). Then, in step S11, the control unit 12 provides the item to the communication terminal 2.

Subsequently, the control unit 12 records the provided item as the provided item identification information in the item provision information data 112 of the storage unit 11. Further, when the item is drawn and provided by the first lottery means 121, the control unit 12 adds 1 to the number of times the item is provided in the item provision information data 112 of the storage unit 11 (step S12). And the process ends.

As described above, according to the present invention, the control unit 12 of the server 1 includes the first lottery means 121 and the second lottery means 122, and the second lottery means 122 provides items by the first lottery means 121. Since it is possible to provide a plurality of types of items having different rare values to users who have a predetermined number of times or more by lottery, it is possible to increase the variation of acquisition methods such as battle cards. Further, since the second lottery means 122 is more likely to provide an item having a higher rare value than the item that can be provided by the first lottery means, the acquisition predictability of a card or the like having a high rare value is enhanced, and the interest in the game is increased. Can be improved.

It should be noted that preferably, the first item acquisition request can be made once a day for free, and the second and subsequent items can be transmitted in in-game currency or the like. In this case, the server 1 may be further configured to be able to receive a reset request from the communication terminal 2 at an arbitrary timing. The reset request is a request for resetting the item provision information data 112 as a rule. When the control unit 12 of the server 1 receives the reset request from the communication terminal 2, the control unit 12 sets the number of times of providing the item corresponding to the user identification information of the communication terminal 2 to 0. Further, the control unit 12 deletes the provided item identification information. By doing so, for example, when there are no more items in group A to be drawn due to the first item acquisition request, the information related to the provided items in group A is reset, and the game of the user who wants to enjoy the game for free. Can maintain an interest in.

In the present embodiment, the condition for unlocking the transmission of the second item acquisition request is not limited to the condition that the number of times the item is provided by the first lottery means 121 is a predetermined number or more, and the lock is released. Any condition can be set for the condition of. For example, if the number of times the item is provided by the first lottery means 121 is equal to or greater than the predetermined number of times within the first predetermined period (for example, 30 days), the control unit 12 of the server 1 selects the item by the second lottery means 122. It may be possible to provide. Further, for example, when the provision of the item by the first lottery means 121 continues for a predetermined number of days (for example, 7 days), the control unit 12 of the server 1 may be able to provide the item by the second lottery means 122. Further, for example, when a specific item (a winning item) is provided by the first lottery means 121, the control unit 12 of the server 1 may be able to provide the item by the second lottery means 122. By doing so, the user's interest in the game can be improved.

Further, the control unit 12 of the server 1 may limit the period during which the item can be provided by the second lottery means 122 to a certain period (for example, one day).

The second lottery means 122 is not limited to drawing items from the A group and the B group, but the second lottery means 122 may draw items only from the B group. By doing so, since the second lottery means 122 draws items only from the B group including the item having a higher rare value than the A group, the acquisition predictability of the card with a higher rare value etc. is improved and the game is played. Can increase your interest in.

In the first embodiment, there are two item groups, A group and B group, but the item group is not limited to this, and three or more groups may exist. For example, when there are three groups, the control unit 12 of the server 1 further includes a third lottery means. Then, when the number of times the item is provided becomes equal to or more than the second predetermined number of times, the item is drawn from the C group (and the A group and the B group) by the third lottery means. In this case, the C group includes items having a higher rare value than the B group. By doing so, it is possible to increase the variation of the acquisition method of the battle card or the like, improve the predictability of acquisition of the card or the like having a high rare value, and improve the interest in the game.
