Description

[0001] SYSTEM AND MANAGING LOGOUT SCHEDULE AND METHOD THEREOF [0002]

The present invention relates to a method for processing execution of a game without accessing an online game. And more particularly, to a method for executing a pre-set in-game schedule without a connection to an online game server or a user authentication process.

An online game is a game where a plurality of users gather together, and the records or results they play together are cumulatively stored in their own accounts and reflected in the game play of the next game.

However, inevitably, users sometimes can not participate in game play. The situation is that the game can not be enjoyed more because of another schedule, or the game connection is no longer maintained due to a sudden break in the network during the party play.

Techniques have been developed to minimize the inconvenience of users in this situation.

For example, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1265052 entitled " Game Operating Device and Method Corresponding to Disconnection of Network in Mobile Environment " discloses a method and apparatus for using a surrogate AI corresponding to each client in a mobile game environment, AI is running and game keeping technology is announced.

On the other hand, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0964638 entitled " Game Character Control Method, Apparatus and Recording Medium According to Termination of Abnormal Connection " sets a behavior of a character in a target determination window in advance, and when the game is abnormally terminated, And controlling the behavior of the character set in advance.

These types of techniques correspond to techniques for backing up unexpectedly while the user is unable to play the game.

On the other hand, a technology has been developed to automatically substitute game play when a player can not play the game directly.

The 'Auto Raid' function of the 'Create Heroes Legends' smartphone game is a technology that automatically obtains rewards by automatically participating in raids according to specific conditions when the user touches the 'Auto Raid & End' button in the popup window .

That is, as the user finishes the game, he or she proceeds to play the game a little more by artificial intelligence on behalf of himself.

However, these prior art technologies only allow automatic play of a game only when the user finishes an unexpected end of network connection or game play, and does not replace the game play of the user but an extension of the temporary game play by artificial intelligence .

1 is a diagram for explaining a connection relationship between a game server, a game client, and an external platform server.

1, the game server 100 is connected to the game client 1 and the external platform server 2 via a network.

The network is preferably an Internet network, but it may include any type of wired / wireless communication network for exchanging data with a LAN, WAN, or other remote location.

The game server 100 provides online game services to a plurality of game clients 1 connected through a network.

The game server 100 stores and manages account information of each game client 1 and performs user authentication on the game client 1 for game play.

In general, online games are cumulatively collected at the time of the next game. In some cases, since the game money or items possessed by the user account have property values, It is designed to be able to play the game only if it goes through.

The game client 1 is an executing entity of an online game, and online game client software is installed and means hardware resources for executing the online game client software.

The external platform server 2 is a server that provides other types of services except games. The external platform server 2 may be, for example, a web server that hosts a web site, or a server that exchanges data with mobile dedicated apps according to a predetermined protocol.

The non-game terminal 3 refers to hardware resources for connecting to the external platform server 2 through the network and exchanging data with the external platform server 2. [

Preferably, the game client (1) the non-game terminal (3) is a hardware resource possessed by the user, and even if the online game client software is not installed or the online game client software can be installed, ), It does not go through the online game client software.

For example, the game client 1 may be a personal computer equipped with game client software, and the non-game terminal 3 may be a smartphone, tablet, or wearable device of the same user.

Alternatively, while the user executes the game client software installed in his / her personal computer to access the game server 100 to play the game, the personal computer may be the game client 1, The same hardware resources may satisfy the definition of the non-game terminal 3 while the game client software is terminated and the external platform server 2 is accessed through the web browser.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram for explaining data exchanged between the game server 100, the game client 1, and the external platform server 2 for processing of the logout schedule processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the user accesses the game server 100 using the game client 1 and sets a logout schedule through a user interface in the online game provided by the game server 100 during game play .

As the logout schedule is set, the game server 100 stores it in the corresponding game client (1) user account.

On the other hand, the user can end the game and log out. At a subsequent point in time, the user accesses the external platform server 2 using the non-game terminal 3, selects an online game he / she has usually enjoyed , Selects a game server, and inputs his or her online game account information (e.g., ID).

When the external platform server 2 delivers the input information to the game server 100, the game server 100 fetches the logout schedule information previously stored in the account of the user and provides the logout schedule information to the external platform server 2.

As the external platform server 2 again transmits the non-game terminal 3 to the non-game terminal 3, the user views the non-game terminal 3 screen and confirms the logout schedules set in advance by himself / herself.

At this time, the information that the external platform server 2 receives from the game server 100 and transmitted to the non-game terminal 3 includes information such as the identification information of the game server 100, the name of the game, .

When the user selects any one of them, the external platform server 2 transmits the online game account information of the user and the logout schedule information selected by the user to the game server 100.

The game server 100 determines whether or not the predetermined requirement is satisfied in order to determine whether to execute the schedule, and executes the logout schedule as described later.

When the execution of the logout schedule is completed, the game server 100 delivers the logout schedule to the external platform server 2, and the external platform server 2 notifies the non-game terminal 3 of the completion of execution of the logout schedule.

The game server 100 delivers the logout schedule to the external platform server 2 and the external platform server 2 notifies the non-game terminal 3 of the fact.

The external platform server 2 notifies the non-game terminal 3 of the execution result of the logout schedule, in addition to the identification information of the game server 100, the game name, and the character identification information, Information about the logout schedule, information (during execution, execution termination, execution termination), connection holding time information (i.e., time when connection of the account is maintained as the logout schedule is executed), identification information of the executed logout schedule, Information on the result information (experiential value or item) acquired as a result of execution of the schedule, or information on unusual matters (reasons for interruption when the logout schedule is aborted) is received from the game server 100 and can be transmitted to the non-game terminal 3 have.

Hereinafter, an exemplary implementation of the logout schedule processing system will be described with reference to specific embodiments.

3 is a functional block diagram illustrating a structure of a logout schedule processing system according to the present invention.

The logout schedule processing system according to the present invention can be implemented in the form of the game server 100 as described above.

3, the game server 100 has a user interface providing unit 110, a logout schedule storage unit 120, a communication unit 130, and a logout schedule execution unit 140.

The user interface providing means 110 is a game client 1 connected to the game, and provides a user interface for inputting a logout schedule in the game.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a state in which a logout schedule is set on the game client 1. FIG.

4, it can be seen that a user interface for setting a logout schedule is displayed on the game client 1 screen. The user can set a schedule for allowing " fishing "in" fishing boat "for" character 1 "

The logout schedule is information in which a range of in-game activities that can be executed is set in advance in the logout state of the game client and is requested to be executed through an external platform without user's manipulation, and includes information such as player character, duration, . ≪ / RTI >

In the above example, "character 1" is a player character of the user to be executed the logout schedule.

On the other hand, "5 hours" corresponds to the duration of the logout schedule.

"Fishing" corresponds to a place on the online game map where the logout schedule is to be executed, and "Fishing " corresponds to an activity to be executed by the player character of the user.

The logout schedule is set in the online game, and execution of the logout schedule is performed when an execution request is made on the external platform server 2 using the non-game terminal 3, as described above.

When the player character is selected by the user using the game client 1 and the activity information to be executed and the duration to be executed are inputted, the logout schedule storage unit 120 generates a logout schedule including such information, And stores it in the game client (1) user account.

On the other hand, the setting of the logout schedule may be performed not by selecting any one of the predefined activity types, but by sequentially storing the commands inputted by the user.

That is, instead of selecting an activity type, the user's input values are stored sequentially as if they were recorded.

For example, if a user has input a plurality of commands such as "move" -> "wear equipment" - "fishing action" - "finish operation" to the player character, these commands are sequentially stored in chronological order. The combination of commands becomes "activity" information included in the logout schedule.

Preferably, two or more logout schedules can be set simultaneously.

The two or more logout schedules do not contend with each other, and are selectively executed by user selection using the non-game terminal 3.

On the other hand, if there is a request from the external platform server 2, the communication means 130 provides one or more logout schedule information stored in the game client 1 user account.

Upon completion of execution of the logout schedule, the external platform server 2 is notified of the result.

After the game client 1 is logged out, the user can access the external platform server 2 using the non-game terminal 3 and select any one of a plurality of logout schedules.

FIG. 5 is a view illustrating a state in which one of predetermined logout schedules is executed on the mobile.

The logout schedule executing means 140 may be configured to execute logout schedule execution means 140 for the user account of the game client 1 if there is an execution request for the logout schedule from the external platform server 2 while the game client 1 is logged out Run the logout schedule.

If there is an execution request for the logout schedule, the logout schedule execution means 140 automatically controls the player character in a state in which there is no operation of the user of the game client 1, .

The execution of a particular type of activity may be handled by artificial intelligence, and is not limited to a single type of action, but may include a combination of several sequential actions or a set of actions. Artificial intelligence can control the behavior of the player character at random without departing from the set activity type.

On the other hand, if the activity information is a sequence of a plurality of commands input by the user, the logout schedule execution means 140 sequentially executes a plurality of commands sequentially recorded instead of artificial intelligence, so that the player character And controls to operate in a predetermined order.

On the other hand, the logout schedule executing means 140 may execute the logout schedule executing means 140 while the player character of the game client 1, which is operated by the logout executing means 140, .

At this time, it is possible to display that the player character is automatically operated by the logout schedule. For example, "auto-execution" is displayed at the top of the character.

In addition to indicating that it is simply "autorun", it may further indicate which type of activity the player character is performing automatically.

If the "activity" information included in the logout schedule indicates a particular activity type, an icon representing the activity type may be displayed at the top of the player character.

For example, if the "activity" information included in the logout schedule is "fishing ", a fishing rod icon may be displayed at the upper end of the player character.

Other users can easily recognize that the player character is automatically executed by the logout schedule and that the content of the logout schedule is related to "fishing".

On the other hand, when the "activity" information included in the logout schedule includes a plurality of commands sequentially input by the user, by using the attributes of the commands other than the commands such as simple movement among commands, use of equipment, A suitable icon can be displayed at the top of the character.

If the activity information includes the commands "Move" -> "Wear the equipment" -> "Fishing action" -> "Finishing action", the fishing rod icon is displayed at the upper end of the player character according to the attribute of the "Fishing action" can do.

On the other hand, while it is displayed that the automatic operation is performed by the logout schedule, the player character can be restricted to perform a specific action or receive it.

For example, at least a part of the interaction with the player characters of other simultaneously-connected game clients may be unexecutable.

This is to prevent the player character from being missed or lost during the automatic operation by the logout schedule. It is possible to limit the operation of the player character of the user, but if the player character or the mobile object (MOB) of the other person performs a predetermined interaction with the player character of the user, The occurrence can be blocked at the source.

In addition, if the user's player character is in a situation satisfying a certain condition while being automatically operated by the logout schedule, the logout execution means 140 forcibly terminates the execution of the logout schedule for the player character .

For example, if the attack is repeated by a player character of a mob or another user, or if the execution of the activity by the logout schedule is continuously interrupted, execution of the logout schedule is stopped and forced termination is performed.

On the other hand, when an interaction with a player character of another game client is attempted, the logout execution means 140 is operated by the logout schedule to the other user who has tried to interact with the player character automatically operated by the logout schedule .

For example, it is possible to notify other users of the game by using various methods such as "whispering "," one-to-one conversation "

Meanwhile, the logout execution means 140 generates a logout schedule execution result and transfers it to the external platform server 2 through the communication means 130.

For example, the execution result may include whether or not the logout schedule has been normally executed, and information on the items and experience points obtained by the player character.

Alternatively, the logout schedule may include information on whether the logout schedule has been forcibly terminated and what causes the forced termination.

The external platform server (2) transmits the received execution result to the non-game terminal (3) of the user.

Accordingly, the user can easily confirm the execution result of the logout schedule executed by the user using his / her smart phone, wearable device, or web browser on the computer.

Meanwhile, the execution result may be generated after the logout schedule is completely terminated, but may also be generated during the execution of the logout schedule. In this case, the user can use the non-game terminal 3 to set the logout execution state to real time .

Hereinafter, an exemplary implementation of the logout schedule processing method will be described with reference to a specific embodiment.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a logout schedule processing method according to the present invention.

The logout schedule processing method according to the present invention can be executed in the game server 100 as described above.

6, the game server 100 receives a player character, activity information, duration, and the like from the game client 1, sets a logout schedule in the user account of the game client 1, (S110).

Thereafter, according to a request from the external platform server 2, one or more logout schedule information previously stored in the user account of the game client 1 is provided (S120).

The provision of the logout schedule information does not depend on whether the game client 1 is currently logged in or logged out.

On the other hand, when the game client 1 receives the execution request for the logout schedule from the external platform server 2 in the state that the game client 1 is logged out, the logout schedule is executed for the game client 1 user account (S 130 ).

Executing the logout schedule for the user account means that the result of executing the logout schedule is reflected in the corresponding user account.

Execution of the logout schedule is performed only when the game client 1 is logged out.

When the game server 100 receives the execution request for the logout schedule, the game server 100 checks whether the game client 1 is in the logout state, and if the logout is not performed, the game server 100 generates an error.

The logout schedule is not executed and the external platform server 2 is notified of the error occurrence. The external platform server 2 can notify the non-game terminal 3 of the occurrence of an error.

On the other hand, it is possible to limit the execution of the logout schedule to only the non-game terminal 3 registered in advance.

To this end, the game server 100 collects information of the non-game terminal 3 of the user in advance. Hardware unique identification information such as a MAC address may be collected and stored in advance.

To this end, in step S130, the game server 100 receives the execution request for the logout schedule, and transmits hardware information of the non-game terminal 3 connected to the external platform server 2 to the external platform server 2 Can be requested.

On the other hand, upon receipt of the hardware information of the non-game terminal 3 from the external platform server 2, it is determined whether the hardware information stored in the user account of the game client 1 matches with the hardware information. .

On the other hand, if they do not match, an error is generated and the logout schedule is not executed.

On the other hand, when the execution of the logout schedule is completed, the game server 100 transmits the execution result of the logout schedule and the user account information of the corresponding game client to the external platform server 2 (S140).

The external platform server 2 notifies the non-game terminal 3 of the execution result of the logout schedule to the user.

As described above, the logout schedule processing method according to the present invention can be implemented in the form of a program command that can be executed through various computer means and recorded in a computer readable medium. The computer-readable medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, and the like, alone or in combination. The program instructions recorded on the medium may be those specially designed and constructed for the present invention or may be available to those skilled in the art of computer software.
