`
`‘580 Patent Claim 1 (11:13-35 ):
`
`1.
`
`A control method for a computer network, comprising:
`storing, by a memory for storing information related to a game in which a plurality of
`players can participate, information defining a plurality of groups to which said players
`belong, a reward providing condition, rewards, and reward box information for a
`plurality of reward boxes each associated exclusively with a respective one of said
`groups, as part of the information related to the game; and
`by an arithmetic processor, performing computation on the game, and displaying
`images of the game on terminal devices operated by the players
`allocating at least one reward out of the rewards to at least one of the reward boxes,
`determining whether the reward providing condition is met based on match-up
`situations or match-up results between the players and first game characters in the
`game, and
`displaying, on the terminal devices, a screen for providing the reward allocated to at
`least part of one of the reward boxes to at least one player in the group associated with
`the one of the reward boxes based on the determination results.
