An example of an information processing system displays on a display device two or more selection candidates each corresponding to a game character in a draw mode. In the draw mode, a game character corresponding to a selected selection candidate is granted to the user in exchange for decreasing a predetermined parameter. When a cumulative grant count becomes equal to or greater than a reference count, the information processing system permits execution of a designated mode. In the designated mode, a game character designated by the user is granted to the user. In the draw mode, the information processing system accepts a selection instruction until an end process is performed even after the cumulative grant count becomes equal to or greater than the reference count.

In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for generating an augmented reality environment. An application executing on a computing device may receive a real-time video feed. The application may present the real-time video feed on a display of the computing device. The application may identify an image on a physical token from the real-time video feed. The application may select an animation from a set of one or more animations based on the identified image. The application may add the animation to the real-time video feed at an animation position above the physical token. The application may present the real-time video feed with the added animation.

Disclosed is a game item transaction system comprising: a user terminal for executing game item wallet software for management of game items possessed by a game user, and generating transaction information of a game item possessed by the game user and broadcasting the same over a network; a game server for managing the progress of a game and storing game user IDs, which are identification information of users of the game, and information on game items possessed by the users according to the game user IDs; and a financial server for storing financial account information of game item transaction parties.

One aspect of the disclosure relates to implementing a refund calculator in an online game. The refund calculator may provide the ability to prioritize what users may receive items, troops, and/or any other in-game parameters. The refund calculator may provide the ability to determine how many items and/or troops the user may be refunded, the time frame in which the user receives the items, troops and/or other aspects of a refund.

A game server employs a notification system associated with purchase of an item in a game and is capable of promoting the purchase of the item, Specifically, a game server may include a notifier, when receiving a request for provision of a first item from a communication terminal, for sending a notification that the first item is provided to the communication terminal to a communication terminal; and an item provider, when sending the notification from the notifier to the communication terminal that the first item is provided, for providing a second item, in addition to the first item, to at least one of the communication terminal and the communication terminal that sends the request for provision of the first item.

Systems and methods for selling virtual items on multiple online sales platforms simultaneously are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive a sales request that indicates the selling user will be offering for sale a particular virtual item through at least two online sales platforms simultaneously; assign ownership of the particular virtual item temporarily to a holding account; generate sales listings of the particular virtual item for publications on the at least two online sales platforms; effectuate the publications of the sales listings; receive indications of offers to purchase the particular virtual item; determine an accepted offer that is accepted; notify the at least two online sales platforms of whether the offers have been accepted or denied; identify a buyer's account of the buying user; effectuate assignment of the ownership of the particular virtual item to the buyer's account.

Systems and methods for determining seller reputation for users of an online gaming platform are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: execute an instance of the game; monitor sales transactions; determine a sales metric that represents a sales reputation ascribed to a given user; monitor in-game actions of the given user that do not include sales transactions; determine in-game action metrics for the monitored in-game actions; and determine a combined reputational score based on the sales metric and the in-game action metrics.

There is a system and method for gamification of real-life events over a computerized network. The system includes an observer module configured to generate real-life data in response to observation of a real-life event. The system includes an interface engine module configured to operate an ongoing computerized game that includes game objects. The system includes an implementation module configured to receive an implementation instruction and automatically effect a real-world occurrence associated with the implementation instruction. The system includes a control module, including a processor, configured to convert real-life data from the observer module into a game object, provide the created game object to the interface engine module for injection into an ongoing computer game, and convert a player interaction into an implementation instruction and provide the same to the implementation module. The system includes a player module configured to permit a player to play the ongoing game.

A method for providing a game in which a plurality of missions is presented to a user device each time a certain period has elapsed from a server having a storage unit for storing user information relating to a plurality of users, includes the steps of generating a plurality of different missions for each of the plurality of users based on the user information stored in the storage unit, presenting a list of the generated missions for each of the users on the user device, and presenting an operational element for updating a mission included in the presented list to another mission regardless of the elapse of the period in accordance with the progress of presented missions.

Provided are a program, a control method, and an information processing apparatus which may provide an improved user interface on which a user may easily and efficiently execute various processes on a game content. The information processing apparatus may be caused to execute a game content specifying step of specifying a selected game content on the basis of first input operation data from an operation unit, a step of retrieving information from a storage unit, a step of specifying a direction from a start point to an end point of a second input operation on the basis of second input operation data from an operation unit, and an execution step of executing one process associated with the direction from the start point to the end point of the second input operation in the information from the storage unit on the selected game content.
