Abstract
A game server includes an operation data receiving section that receives, from a terminal whereto a plurality of games is provided via a communication network, operation data for operating a virtual user created in a virtual space, an overall ranking creating section that creates an overall ranking based on ranking-per-game information related to the plurality of games stored in a storing section, an item extracting section that extracts a virtual item stored in a storing section and usable in a specific game, based on information on the overall ranking upon reception of predetermined operation data from the terminal, and an item setting section that sets an extracted virtual item as a virtual item possessed by the virtual user.
Claims8
A game server comprising:
- an operation data receiving section that receives, from a terminal whereto a plurality of kinds of games is provided via a communication network, operation data for operating a virtual user created in a virtual space;
- an overall ranking creating section that creates an overall ranking based on ranking-per-game information related to at least two of the plurality of kinds of games stored in a storing section;
- an item extracting section that extracts a virtual item stored in a storing section and usable in a specific game, based on information on the overall ranking upon reception of predetermined operation data from the terminal;
- and
- an item setting section that sets an extracted virtual item as a virtual item possessed by the virtual user.
A game controlling method of executing a process by a computer connected to a communication network, the process comprising:
- receiving, from a terminal whereto a plurality of kinds of games is provided via a communication network, operation data indicative of operations performed on the terminal for operating a virtual user created in a virtual space;
- creating an overall ranking by a processor based on ranking-per-game information related to at least two of the plurality of kinds of games stored in a storing section;
- extracting a virtual item stored in a storing section, the virtual item usable in a specific game, based on information on the overall ranking upon reception of predetermined operation data from the terminal;
- and
- setting an extracted virtual item as a virtual item possessed by the virtual user.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a game program for causing a computer connected to a communication network to implement the functions of:
- receiving, from a terminal whereto a plurality of kinds of games is provided via a communication network, operation data for operating a virtual user created in a virtual space;
- creating an overall ranking based on ranking-per-game information related to at least two of the plurality of kinds of games stored in a storing section;
- an item extracting section that extracts a virtual item stored in a storing section and usable in a specific game, based on information on the overall ranking upon reception of predetermined operation data from the terminal;
- and
- setting an extracted virtual item as a virtual item possessed by the virtual user.
A game system comprising:
- a game server;
- and
- at least one terminal connected to the game server via a communication network,
- the game server including:
- an operation data receiving section that receives, from a terminal whereto a plurality of kinds of games is provided via a communication network, operation data for operating a virtual user created in a virtual space;
- an overall ranking creating section that creates an overall ranking based on ranking-per-game information related to at least two of the plurality of kinds of games stored in a storing section;
- an item extracting section that extracts a virtual item stored in a storing section and usable in a specific game, based on information on the overall ranking upon reception of predetermined operation data from the terminal;
- and
- an item setting section that sets an extracted virtual item as a virtual item possessed by the virtual user,
- the terminal including an operation input section that accepts the operation data.
