The privilege provision condition 242 stores the privilege provision condition received by the condition reception unit 252 (described later) from the player via the input unit 220 . The player inputs, for example, information on the date and time of playing, position (place) information, information on a plurality of players participating in the game, etc., as privilege provision conditions.

The information on the date and time to play, which is input as the privilege grant condition, includes, for example, the day of the week such as Saturday, the time such as 20:00, a specific date such as January 12, and the time from 9:00 a.m. on January 10 to January 11. It is a predetermined period such as 1:00 PM on Sundays. The information on the date and time to play may be the date and time indicating the time to start playing, or may be a period including the time to start playing.

The information on the playing position may be a pre-registered place such as home, workplace, or frequent cafe, or may be input by allowing the player to select a place to visit from map information.

Also, the information of the plurality of players participating in the game is information that can identify the players, such as player account information. In addition, multiple players participating in the game are players who participate in the game at the same time (login, etc.), or even if the participation time is different, the time (period) of participation overlaps. It may be a player who is Players who participate in the game, which is set as a privilege granting condition, can cooperate with each other to advance the game, play against each other, support the game play, etc. It may be a player who can be shared, or a player who is with the player in the real space. A player can arbitrarily set the privilege provision condition.

The play information 243 stores information relating to the situation in which the player plays the game, which is acquired by the play information acquisition unit 253, which will be described later. The play information is, for example, the date and time when the player participated in the game (logged in), the place, and the like. Further, as the play information, information of a player who has a companion relationship (predetermined relationship) such as a friend with the player in the game space and play information of the player may be stored. For example, information about a player who becomes a companion during the progress of the game is acquired from the game information 241 and stored as play information.

The processing unit 250 executes various types of information processing executed in the terminal 200 . The processing unit 250 has a CPU and memory. In the terminal 200, the CPU executes the information processing program stored in the storage unit 240 using the memory, thereby executing the above various information processing. In the present embodiment, the processing unit 250 executes, as the information processing, a process of granting a privilege based on the privilege granting condition and the play information, a process related to the game, and the like. Moreover, when the terminal 200 operates as a multi-function device, the processing unit 250 executes information processing for realizing each function.

The processing unit 250 includes a game execution unit 251 , a condition reception unit 252 , a play information acquisition unit 253 , a privilege grant unit 254 and a grant probability setting unit 255 .

The game execution unit 251 executes processing related to games. For example, processing is executed based on an input from the player via the input unit 220 .

The condition accepting unit 252 accepts a privilege granting condition from the player via the input unit 220 and stores it in the privilege granting condition 242 . For example, the condition receiving unit 252 may cause the output unit 230 to output options for the conditions (date, time, place, player, etc.) for awarding the privilege to the player, and allow the player to select one. Players can set the conditions for granting benefits based on their own schedules and promises made with other players such as friends. You can enjoy the fun you can have.

The play information acquisition unit 253 acquires information about the situation in which the player plays the game, and stores the information in the play information 243 . Also, the acquired play information is uploaded to the game server 100 . The game server 100 stores the uploaded play information in association with the player's account information.

The play information acquisition unit 253 may acquire, for example, the date and time when the player operates the input unit 220 and the game execution unit 251 starts executing the process related to the game as the game participation date and time. In addition, the play information acquisition section 253 may acquire position information from the position information acquisition section 235 as the game execution section 251 executes processing related to the game. Also, the play information acquisition unit 253 may acquire, from the game server 100, play information about another player set as a privilege provision condition, for example. The timing at which the play information acquisition unit 253 acquires the play information may be the time when the player starts the game, may be set at a predetermined timing during the period from the start to the end of the game, or may be set at any timing. can be done.

The privilege granting unit 254 grants a privilege to the player based on the privilege granting condition and the play information. For example, the privilege granting unit 254 determines whether the privilege granting condition stored in the privilege granting condition 242 and the play information acquired by the play information acquisition unit 253 match each other, and if they match, the privilege is given to the player. Give.

Moreover, the privilege provision part 254 may change the content of the privilege to provide based on privilege provision conditions or play information. For example, the content of the privilege may be changed according to the degree of difficulty of achieving the condition set as the privilege provision condition. For example, if the number of players participating in the game, which is set as the privilege provision condition, increases the degree of difficulty, the number of privileges to be granted increases, and the parameter setting is such that the progress of the game is more advantageous. good. The determination of the difficulty level may be set in advance by the game developer, or may be set by the player.

However, it is desirable that the contents of the privilege remain unchanged even if the condition for granting the privilege is changed. This is to prevent the player from changing the privilege granting conditions in order to acquire various privileges and becoming an unreasonable lifestyle to achieve the conditions.

Further, the privilege granting unit 254 may grant a privilege when determining that at least a player included in the privilege granting condition is participating in the game. That is, when all of the plurality of players set as the privilege granting condition participate, the privilege granting unit 254 grants the privilege regardless of the probability set by the granting probability setting unit 255, which will be described later.

Further, if the privilege granting unit 254 determines that a player having a predetermined relationship with the player is participating in place of the player included in the privilege granting condition, the privilege granting unit 254 may grant the privilege.

For example, if player B, who is a friend (predetermined relationship) of player A and the game in the game, participates in the game instead of player A participating in the game, which is set as the privilege granting condition, the privilege granting condition is satisfied. You can make a decision. That is, it is determined that a player who cannot participate in the game satisfies the privilege granting condition by allowing a substitute introduced player to participate. By allowing the introducing player to also satisfy the privilege granting condition, it is possible to prevent the player who cannot participate in the game from feeling guilty about losing the opportunity to be granted the privilege of another player. . Also, the privilege may be given to both the introduced player and the introduced player, or may be given only to the introduced player who participates in the game.

The grant probability setting unit 255 variably sets the probability of granting the privilege to the player according to the satisfaction rate of the privilege granting condition based on the play information. Here, the sufficiency rate indicates the rate at which the privilege granting condition is satisfied by the play information. When the playing time is from 20:15 to 21:00, the satisfaction rate of the privilege provision condition is 75%. In addition, when the number of players participating in the play is set to 4 as the privilege granting condition, and the number of participants in the play acquired as the play information is 2, the sufficiency rate is 50%. Further, when the position and the date and time are set as the privilege provision condition, and only the date and time of playing match, the sufficiency rate may be set to 50%.

Further, for example, when two items, play time and participating players, are set as privilege granting conditions, the product of the sufficiency rate of each item may be calculated as the sufficiency rate of the privilege granting condition based on the play information. Also, for example, the number of players among a plurality of players who gather at the same place may be calculated as the sufficiency rate for the position condition.

The grant probability setting unit 255 sets the probability of granting a privilege according to the sufficiency rate when a predetermined end condition is satisfied. For example, if the fulfillment rate is 100% (that is, the privilege granting condition matches the play information), the privilege granting probability is set to 100%. Also, if the sufficiency rate is 50%, the privilege provision probability is set to 50%. The sufficiency rate and the privilege grant rate may be matched, or the privilege grant probability is set constant for the sufficiency rate in a predetermined range (for example, when the sufficiency rate is 80 to 90%, the privilege grant probability is 80%).

In the past, it was decided whether or not to grant a privilege depending on whether or not the condition for granting the privilege was satisfied, so the player who played halfway had the condition not fulfilled, and the player's motivation decreased. I had a problem connecting. In addition, in order to solve the above problem, it is possible to set a plurality of privilege granting conditions in stages, but even in such a case, some conditions that could not be achieved remain for the player who has played halfway, so the player cannot There was a problem that it leads to a decrease in motivation for games.

Therefore, by changing the probability of granting benefits according to the fulfillment rate, even if the conditions for granting benefits cannot be met, the opportunity to acquire benefits is given, and even if the conditions for granting benefits are not met, benefits are granted Since no conditions remain, it is possible to alleviate the player's motivation to play the game.

In addition, when the privilege granting unit 254 determines that the privilege granting condition is satisfied by the introducing player, the satisfaction rate of the privilege granting condition based on the play information is not 100%, and based on the probability set by the grant probability setting unit 255 You may make it give a privilege.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of privilege provision conditions. In FIG. 4, a position, date and time, and a player are set as privilege provision conditions. For the position "P11", for example, specific places such as "home", "friend's house", and "XX cafe" registered in advance as position information are indicated. For the date and time "D11", for example, a specific date and time indicating the play start time, such as "January 10, 20:00", or a play start time, such as "January 10, 20:00 to 21:00" It may be a period indicating the width of It may also be set as the length of time to play.

Players "A", "B", "C", and "D" indicate players participating in the game. It is preferable that the setting includes the player who set the privilege provision condition, but it may be set only for other players. For example, even if it is clearly known in advance that the player who sets the privilege provision condition cannot participate in the game, it is possible to set the privilege provision condition for the friend player.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of play information of each player. The play information acquisition unit 253 acquires, from the server 100, the play information of a plurality of players participating in the game set as the privilege granting condition from the privilege granting condition stored in the privilege granting condition 242, and stores the play information in the play information 243. Store. In the example of FIG. 5, play information about players A, B, C, and D who are set as participating players under the privilege granting conditions shown in FIG. 4 is shown in a list format. Note that the play information may also be acquired for E, which is registered as having a predetermined relationship with player D. FIG.

The grant probability setting unit 255 sets the probability of granting a privilege based on the privilege granting conditions and the play information shown in FIGS. Even if the play information does not match the privilege granting condition, the player can have expectations that the privilege may be granted, thereby enhancing the amusement of the game.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of processing in the terminal 200. As shown in FIG. An example of processing in terminal 200 owned by player A will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the terminal 200 may use the timing set according to the progress of the game or the timing set by the player as a trigger for starting the process.

In step S101, the condition accepting unit 252 accepts a privilege giving condition from the player. The privilege provision condition may be presented to the player with a notification prompting the player to input when the game is played for the first time, or the input may be accepted at an arbitrary timing.

In step S<b>102 , the condition receiving unit 252 stores the privilege granting condition received in step S<b>101 in the privilege granting condition 242 .

In step S103, the game execution unit 251 determines whether or not an input to start the game has been received from the player. If it is determined that the input has not been received (N in step S103), the determination of whether or not the input has been received is repeated.

If it is determined that the input has been received (Y in step S103), the process proceeds to step S104.

In step S104, the play information acquisition unit 253 acquires play information. For example, the location information of the terminal 200 is acquired from the location information acquisition unit 235 . In addition, it acquires the date and time when the game start input is received, and transmits the position information and the date and time to the server 100 as player A's play information. Also, the play information acquisition unit 253 acquires from the server 100 the play information of the player who is set as the player who participates in the game from the privilege granting condition stored in the privilege granting condition 242 .

In step S105, the grant probability setting unit 255 calculates the sufficiency rate of the privilege grant condition based on the play information acquired in step S104, and sets the grant probability. A game developer or a player can arbitrarily set which item of the privilege provision condition is based on which the sufficiency rate is calculated.

In step S106, the privilege granting unit 254 grants a privilege to the player according to the probability set by the granting probability setting unit 255 in step S105. The privilege given to the player is stored in the game information 241, for example. In addition, when a privilege is given to another player participating in the game together with player A, the server 100 is notified to that effect via the communication unit 210 .

In step S107, the game executing section 251 executes game processing according to the player's input.

As described above, the processing in the terminal 200 is executed. It should be noted that, instead of receiving the privilege granting condition from the player each time the game is played, once the privilege granting condition is accepted, the game may be executed with the privilege granting condition maintained for a predetermined period. Alternatively, the privilege provision condition may be maintained until the game is played a predetermined number of times. As a result, it is possible to prevent a player who always wants to be granted a privilege under the same conditions from feeling the trouble of inputting the privilege granting condition.

In addition, a time limit may be set for the privilege provision condition so that a new condition cannot be accepted unless a prescribed period of time has elapsed (or a prescribed number of times of play) has elapsed since the condition was accepted. As a result, for example, for a player who wants to act in a certain life rhythm for a predetermined period, by setting a time limit for changing the privilege provision condition and encouraging the player to continuously achieve the condition for a predetermined period, the life rhythm can give you motivation to keep

Note that the privilege provision conditions received from the player may also be used in other games installed on the terminal 200 . For example, the terminal 200 that receives the privilege granting condition from the player uploads the privilege granting condition to the game server 100 . The game server 100 manages privilege provision conditions for each player, and transmits privilege provision conditions in response to requests from terminals 200 executing other games. As a result, the player can enjoy the enjoyment of giving benefits in other games as well.

(Explanation of effect)
As described above, in the present embodiment, in a game in which a privilege is granted to the player based on the privilege granting condition, the privilege granting condition is received from the player of the game, and the privilege is granted to the player based on the privilege granting condition and the play information. Give. Satisfaction can be given to the player and the amusement of the game can be enhanced by achieving the privilege granting condition set by the player himself/herself.

Further, in this embodiment, the probability of granting a privilege to the player is variably set according to the satisfaction rate of the privilege granting condition based on the play information, and the privilege is granted based on the set probability. Even if the condition for awarding the privilege is not satisfied, the player can have a sense of anticipation that the privilege will be granted, thereby enhancing the amusement of the game.

In addition, in the present embodiment, information regarding the place where the player plays the game is included in the privilege provision condition. This allows the player to enjoy playing in various places.

Further, in the present embodiment, information regarding a plurality of players participating in the game is included in the privilege granting condition, and the privilege is granted when all the players are present. This makes it possible to provide the enjoyment of playing with friends.

Further, in the present embodiment, instead of the player who participates in the game, which is included in the privilege granting condition, a player who has a predetermined relationship with the player (such as a friendship relationship such as a friend) participates in the game. It is determined that the conditions are met, and a privilege is granted. As a result, a player who cannot participate in the game can be given a sense of satisfaction that the condition for granting the privilege can be satisfied through the mutual help of friends.

Embodiment 1 accepts a privilege provision condition from a player. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the condition setting unit sets the privilege provision condition based on the action history of the player. As a result, since the privilege granting conditions are set in accordance with the player's lifestyle (places frequently visited, times of day when the game is frequently played, etc.), it is possible to reduce the trouble of the player himself inputting the privilege granting conditions.

FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the terminal 300 according to this embodiment. Components common to the terminal 200 according to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and only components different from the terminal 200 will be described below.

Terminal 300 includes storage unit 340 and processing unit 350 instead of storage unit 240 and processing unit 250 of terminal 200 .

Storage unit 340 includes action history 344 in addition to game information 241 , privilege provision conditions 242 , and play information 243 .

In addition to the game execution unit 251, the condition reception unit 252, the play information acquisition unit 253, the privilege provision unit 254, and the provision probability setting unit 255, the processing unit 350 includes the action history acquisition unit 356 and the condition setting unit 255. 357.

The action history acquisition unit 356 periodically acquires information on the location information of the terminal 300 , application usage history on the terminal 300 , and web browsing history as an action history, and stores the information in the action history 344 of the storage unit 340 . For example, the action history acquisition unit 356 acquires location information from the location information acquisition unit 235 at predetermined time intervals, and estimates the player's home, workplace, school, etc. from the time period and length of stay. good. Also, the action history acquisition unit 356 may guess the player's hobbies and interests based on the history of websites viewed by the player.

The condition setting unit 357 sets privilege provision conditions based on the action history. For example, conditions convenient for the player are calculated based on the action history of places and time zones where the player often plays the game, and are set as privilege provision conditions. In addition, among the conditions stored in the storage unit 340 in advance, conditions convenient for the player are set as privilege provision conditions based on the action history. For example, it can be inferred that the place, time, etc. where the player often plays the game are conditions convenient for the player to play the game. Therefore, in order to prevent the player from getting tired of playing the game, the conditions for granting benefits are set based on the action history such as the place and time where the player often plays the game, and the enjoyment of granting benefits to the usual game play. It can lead to improvement of motivation to play. The condition receiving unit 252 receives the privilege granting condition set by the condition setting unit 357 as the privilege granting condition input by the player, and stores it in the privilege granting condition 242 .

Further, the condition setting unit 357 may set the privilege provision condition based on the attribute classified from the action history acquired by the action history acquisition unit 356 . That is, the characteristics of the player are analyzed from the action history and classified into attributes. The condition setting unit 357, for example, classifies the player into a heavy player or a light player based on the action history of the player, and sets privilege provision conditions according to attributes. In this case, the heavy player may be set with a privilege provision condition for a long play time, and the light player may be set with a privilege provision condition for a short play time. By setting privilege granting conditions suitable for each attribute, it is possible to give the player a moderate sense of satisfaction in fulfilling the conditions, which leads to an improvement in motivation to continue playing.

<Embodiment 3>
In the second embodiment, the privilege provision condition is set based on the action history of the player. In the third embodiment, instead of the action history such as the player's position information and playing time, it is linked with other applications installed on the player's terminal other than the game, and the information input by the player in the other application is used. You may make it set a privilege provision condition based on. For example, from the information input by the player in another application, the place where the player often visits, the leisure time, etc. are estimated, and set as the privilege provision condition. More specifically, it acquires the schedule input by the user from the calendar application and the transfer information (station name, departure/arrival time, etc.) input by the user from the transfer guidance application, and estimates the places that the player often visits. , to set the privilege granting conditions. Since the information input by the player is obtained from other applications, it is possible to accurately estimate conditions convenient for the player and set them as privilege provision conditions.

The above embodiment can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. These embodiments and their modifications are intended to be included in the scope of the invention described in the claims and their equivalents as well as included in the scope and gist of the invention.
