Abstract

A system (information processing device) is caused to determine at least one game medium from among a plurality of game media to be provided to a communication terminal, cause the communication terminal to display the at least one game medium, provide the communication terminal with a game environment to test the at least one game medium; and store the at least one game medium in association with an identifier of the communication terminal upon receiving a notification from the communication terminal indicating that the at least one game medium has been selected for possession.

Claims (52)

1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media including computer program instructions, which when executed by a system, cause the system to:

receive a lottery performing request from a communication terminal executing a game;

in response to receiving the lottery performing request, perform a lottery to determine at least one game medium from among a plurality of game media to be provided to the communication terminal;

control the communication terminal to display the at least one game medium;

provide the communication terminal with a game test environment to test the at least one game medium in the game; and

store the at least one game medium in association with an identifier of the communication terminal upon receiving a notification from the communication terminal, the notification indicating that the at least one game medium has been selected for possession.

2. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 1 , wherein the computer program instructions further cause the system to:

select game information being added to the at least one game medium, based on a timing at which the notification is received from the communication terminal, wherein a progress of the game in which the at least one game medium is used is adjusted according to the game information.

3. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 1 , wherein the computer program instructions further cause the system to:

select an attribute being added to the at least one game medium based on a timing at which the notification is received from the communication terminal.

4. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 1 , wherein the computer program instructions further cause the system to:

provide the communication terminal with the game in which the selected at least one game medium is used, and

manage name information which is added to at least one of game media, wherein

a progress of the game is adjusted according to the game information, and

first game information of the at least one game medium in the game test environment differs from second game information of the at least one game medium in the game.

5. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 1 , wherein the computer program instructions further cause the system to:

provide the communication terminal with the game in which the selected at least one game medium is used, and

manage at least one of a level, ability, and attribute of the plurality of game media, wherein first information including at least one of the level, the ability, and the attribute of the at least one game medium in the game test environment differs from second information including at least one of the level, the ability and the attribute of the at least one game medium in the game.

6. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 1 , wherein the game test environment is provided without user's operation after the lottery is performed.

7. A system comprising:

circuitry configured to

receive a lottery performing request from a communication terminal executing a game;

in response to receiving the lottery performing request, perform a lottery to determine at least one game medium from among a plurality of game media to be provided to the communication terminal;

control the communication terminal to display the at least one game medium;

provide the communication terminal with a game test environment to test the at least one game medium in the game; and

store the at least one game medium in association with an identifier of the communication terminal upon receiving a notification from the communication terminal, the notification indicating that the at least one game medium has been selected for possession.

8. A method of controlling an information processing device for providing a game to a communication terminal, the method comprising:

receiving a lottery performing request from a communication terminal executing a game;

in response to receiving the lottery performing request, performing a lottery to determine at least one game medium from among a plurality of game media to be provided to the communication terminal;

controlling the communication terminal to display the at least one game medium;

providing the communication terminal with a game test environment to test the at least one game medium in the game; and

storing the at least one game medium in association with an identifier of the communication terminal upon receiving a notification from the communication terminal, the notification indicating that the at least one game medium has been selected for possession.

9. A terminal device comprising;

circuitry configured to

transmit a lottery performing request to a server, the server being configured to provide the terminal device with a plurality of game media;

display at least one game medium, the at least one game medium being determined from the plurality of game media based on the lottery performed by the server, in response to the lottery performing request;

receive a game test environment to test the at least one game medium in the game; and

transmit, to the server, a notification indicating that the at least one game medium has been selected for possession.

10. The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein

the server is configured to select game information being added to the at least one game medium, based on a timing at which the notification is transmitted to the server, and

a progress of the game in which the at least one game medium is used is adjusted according to the game information.

11. The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein the server is configured to select an attribute being added to the at least one game medium, based on a timing at which the notification is transmitted to the server.

12. The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein

the circuitry configured to execute the game in which the selected at least one game medium is used, the game being provided from the server,

game information is managed by the server, the game information being added to at least one of the plurality of game media,

a progress of the game is adjusted according to the game information, and

first game information of the at least game medium in the game test environment differs from second game information of the at least one game medium in the game.

13. The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein

the circuitry configured to execute the game in which the selected at least game medium is used, the game being provided from the server,

at least one of a level, ability, and attribute of the plurality of game media is managed by the server, and

first information including at least one of the level, the ability, and the attribute of the at least game medium in the game test environment differs from second information including at least one of the level, the ability and the attribute of the at least one game medium in the game.

14. The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein the game test environment is provided by the server, without user's operation after the lottery is performed.
