Description

An Managing Method Of E-Sport Of PC Room

The present invention relates to a method for operating a PC room e-sports, and more particularly, to a method for operating a PC room e-sports, in which the use of a PC room is activated and continuous operation is possible so that participants can operate smoothly without waiting.

As the number of subscribers to high-speed Internet service in Korea increases, competition for services is also increasing at high speed. Almost all of the domestic internet users use high-speed internet services, and the popularization of home computers, the development of high-speed internet industry, and the use of low-cost high-speed communication networks make the existing computer games, game room games, and game machine games industry online games. It was transformed. The emergence of high-speed communication networks and online games using them has led to an explosive increase in PC rooms, and professional gamers and game broadcasting have developed into a unique online game culture. However, PC cafes, which showed an explosive increase, have reached a saturation state, and even if they invest enormously in game development, the number of game companies that are dead due to not securing early users is increasing, and excessive rate discount competition among PC cafe companies and high-speed expanded to general households. The number of PC room users is on the decline due to the Internet.

In response to the decrease in PC room users, methods for activating PC rooms have been proposed. For example, a game in the form of event provision through a PC room was provided, and participation rights were issued based on game usage time. Therefore, PC room users were given the right to participate once when using the PC room for 1 hour. It was a method to access the event progress server through the granted event participation right to play the game and receive rewards according to the result. In order to reward the winners for participation and progress in the event game, the first place was selected through a tournament method.

For example, a tournament system was applied to select 1 out of 1024 people. In this way, you have to win 10 streaks to get first place. To this end, we chose a method of matching the confrontation between the same consecutive winners so that there is one winner continuously. This method had the disadvantage that the waiting time of the players who finished the game first became longer due to the difference in game start and end times of all event game participants, and this problem became a problem that the waiting time of the waiters became longer as the winning streak increased. Other compensation methods have been proposed, but the participants are not satisfied, and due to this, the PC cafe cannot be activated and PC cafes continue to close.

It is input and stored in the game server affiliate store DB 116.

When a member joins or logs in through the client PC 141 of the PC room 140, it is checked whether it is an affiliate store registered in the game server affiliate store DB 116 by the IP of the client PC 141, and the game server affiliate store DB 116 ), in the case of the IP of an affiliated store that is not registered in), information that the affiliated store is not subscribed to the corresponding client PC 141 is transmitted and transmitted to the main PC 143 of the corresponding affiliated store. The affiliate store 140 accesses the game server 110 and registers it through the game server affiliate store registration unit 113, and the affiliate store information is stored in the game server affiliate store DB 116.

A user who uses the client PC 141 of the PC room can display online advertisements or offline advertisement media of the client PC 141 before (and/or after) logging into the game server 110 and/or the event operation server 120. Through the game, you will encounter promotions for the game (hereinafter the promoted game will be referred to as'promotional game').

The event operation server 120 will be described.

The event operation server 120 transmits the promotion contents related to the game to the client PC 141 of the PC room registered in the operation server affiliate store DB 127 so that the PC room 140 user can check the promotion contents related to the game. . The promotion contents may be notified on the Internet using the initial screen of the client PC 141 of the PC room 140, an advertisement area of the management program client PC, or offline, such as a banner in the PC room.

The user who wants to play the game through the promotion contents provided by the event operation server 120 accesses the event operation server 120 using the client PC 141 and provides it to the client PC 141 from the operation server member registration unit 121 Register as a member through the input window.

Member information (member ID, password, mobile phone number, e-mail address, etc.) entered during membership registration is transmitted from the client PC 141 to the event operation server 120 and is stored in the operation server member DB 126. A member who has already registered as a member on the event operation server 120 uses the client PC 141 to execute the operation server member authentication unit 122 of the event operation server 120 to input login information from the client PC 141 Log in to the event operation server 120.

When the PC room user attempts to access the event operation server 120 using the client PC 141, the client PC 141 connects to the event operation server 120, and from the event operation server 120 The provided login information input screen is displayed on the screen. And the client PC transmits the login information input by the PC room user to the event operation server 120.

The affiliate store information that can distinguish each affiliate store in the event operation server 120, for example, the affiliate store address, phone number, and the IP of the PC room server, are input through the operation server affiliate store registration unit 123 and the operation server affiliate store DB 127 ).

When a member joins or logs in through the client PC 141 of the PC room, it is checked whether it is an affiliate store registered in the operation server affiliate store DB 127 by the IP of the client PC 141, and is not registered in the operation server affiliate store DB 127. In the case of an IP of an affiliate store that is not an affiliate store, information indicating an affiliate store that is not subscribed to the corresponding client PC 141 is transmitted, and is transmitted to the main PC 143 of the affiliate store. The affiliated store accesses the event operation server 120 and registers it through the operation server affiliate store registration unit 123, and the affiliate store information is stored in the operation server affiliate store DB 127.

In the information transmitted to the event operation server 120, information that can identify the participant who has accepted the promotion, for example, affiliate store information, the IP of the user's client PC 141, and the member ID (or password) registered as a member are transmitted. do. The affiliate store information is information that can distinguish each affiliate store in the event operation server 120, and may be an address of the affiliate store, a phone number, and an IP of the main PC. The event operation server 120 stores these information.

Promotional game information is transmitted from the event operation server 120 to the client PC 141 of the user logged in by accessing the event operation server 120, and the user is transmitted to the client PC 141 through the client PC 141. Select the game you want to join from the on-game information. In the event operation server 120, information on the participants of the promotion game is stored (operation participant DB 125), and the stored participant information is transmitted to the game server 110 running the corresponding promotional game on the client PC 141. The IP of the participant's client PC 141 and member information registered in the event operation server 120 are transmitted to the game server 110.

In the game server 110 receiving the IP of the client PC 141 used by the participant from the event operation server 120, the game server member authentication unit 112 of the game server 110 logs in to the corresponding client PC 141 Allows input of information, and when login information is input through the client PC 141, and the input information is confirmed in the game server member DB 115, the information of the participant is stored in the game participant DB 117 , In the game server 110, the game is matched and the promotion game is executed by the client PC 141. Participants play promotional games.

The participation price information transmitted to the game server 110 is stored in the game participant DB 117 of the game server 110. The game participant DB 117 stores the participant's ID, password, and victory/loss information. The win-loss information is stored as 0 wins in case of loss, and the multiplier information of consecutive wins is stored in case of continuous win. As the game is matched and progressed, the information of the participant including the multiplier updated in the game participant DB 117 is transmitted to the event operation server 120 and is updated and stored in the operation participant DB 125 of the event operation server 120. In the case of losing a game that has been continued while winning a streak, it is stored in the game participant DB 117 as 0 wins.

During the promotion game, information about the participants who apply for participation in the promotion game is additionally stored in the operation participant DB 125, and transmitted to the game server 110 so that the additional participant information is the game participant DB of the game server 110 ( 117).

Game money information and multiplier information will be described.

The game server 110 executes the game on the client PC 141 of the participant of the promotion game transmitted from the event operation server 120, and each participant is matched to play the game executed on the client PC 141. Game money information and multiplier information to be used by the participant of the promotion game are also transmitted from the event operation server 120. In addition, compensation information is also transmitted from the event operation server 120. Reward information is a goal to be achieved by the participant in order to receive rewards, for example, 10 consecutive wins for a'beat' game.

The game money information and multiplier information are stored in the game operation information DB 118 of the game server 120.

The transmission of game results and transmission of game time information will be described.

The result of the game (win or lose) is transmitted to the event operation server 120 to the game server 110 and is updated with the participant information in the operation participant DB 125. At this time, regardless of the participant's game money stored in the game server 110, if the set game money transmitted from the event operation server 120 is exhausted, it becomes a defeat, and the win or loss is transmitted to the event operation server 120. Along with the result of winning or losing, the time required for the game is also transmitted to the event operation server 120.

When the game provided by the game server 110 is referred to as a'beat' game and exemplarily described, A and B are matched, and a promotion game is executed on each of the client PCs 141. If A has a correct game money of 400, B has a correct game money of 800, and the set game money transmitted from the event operation server 120 is 40, A’s game money becomes 360, or B’s When the game money reaches 760, the game ends. When the game is over, the game result (win or lose) and game time information are transmitted to the event operation server 120. The game result is updated and stored as participant information in the game participant DB 117.

Or, if A has a correct game money of 400, B has a correct game money of 800, and the set game money transmitted from the event operation server 120 is 40, in the promotion game, both A and B are game money. When is 40, and the first person who becomes 0 comes out, that person becomes the loser and the game ends.

The time required until the end of the matched game between A and B (eg, 5 minutes and 35 seconds) is transmitted to the event operation server 120 as time required information along with the result of winning or losing. The required time information for each game is stored in the operation information DB (124). The operation information DB 124 stores the set time required for each game type.

The game time is adjusted by allowing the matched game of A and B to end when the set game money is exhausted.

The actual time required information transmitted from the game server 110 to the event operation server 120 is stored in the operation information DB 124, and the average time required is calculated and stored from the actual time required for each game and the number of games.

The game money adjustment will be described.

The average time required for each game stored in the operation information DB 124 and the set time set for each game are compared, and if the difference between the average time and the set time is greater than the set time, the game money information is changed and saved. Then, the changed game money information is transmitted to the game server 110 and updated and stored in the game operation information DB 118. In subsequent matching, when the updated game money is exhausted, the matched game is terminated, and the client PC 141 is controlled.

For example, if the set time required for one game is 4 minutes and the game money is 600 for the game'Jitgo', if the average time required by the actual participants is 4 minutes 30 seconds, the game stored in the operation information DB 124 The money information is changed to 530 (Strictly calculated as 533.33, but it is changed to 530 when the decimal point and rounding to one digit value are set by the program), and is transmitted to the game server 110.

As described above, as the game money is changed from the average time required information and the set time required, the time required for one game of the participants can be adjusted so that more games can be played.

In addition, in the case of a game in which game participants with high winning streaks have to bring all their opponent's game money, such as hit or poker, in order to increase their concentration and interest in the game, the game is based on the player with the highest number of winning streaks among the matched game participants. In addition to the basic game money, additional game money is additionally granted.

For example, in game matching of participants with 0 and 1 approval, if the basic game money is 50 equally given to both participants, in game matching of participants with 5 and 7 approvals, in addition to the basic game money 50, the weight for the 7th winning participant An additional 50 is paid, and a total of 100 game money is paid to the participants, and the game begins.

The game money adjustment of the game progress adjustment unit will be described.

In the above case, when the game time is transmitted to the game server 110 along with the game money information, the average time required for the actual game time is calculated by the game server 110, and the average required time and the received time are compared with the set game time. When the difference between the set game time is smaller than the set value, it is calculated as described above so that the game server 110 adjusts the game money. It is not transmitted to the event operation server, but is adjusted by the game server 110, and only the result may be transmitted from the game server 110 to the event operation server 120.

In the case of a one-on-one fighting game, the player who is knocked out first loses his physical strength. However, it may end early before game time. The game money described above becomes the game time in a one-on-one fighting game, and the participant who receives a lot of KOs during the set game time is considered to have lost, and the other participant is considered to have won, and is stored in the game participant DB 117 along with the winning and losing information. It is transmitted to the operation server 120. This is a method in which the game (fighting) proceeds again after the physical strength is reduced and the player is knocked out.

In the case of a racing game such as a car, in general, the user who enters a given track the fastest is the winner. However, this varies greatly in the game end time depending on the skill of the user playing the game. Therefore, in the case of a racing game, the game money becomes the game time, and the participant who travels the longest distance during the set game time wins, and the remaining participants lose, and is stored in the game participant DB 117.

In the case of a game such as a gun fight by dividing a team, the number of killing enemies during a predetermined game time is the number 1, and it is ranked first. This is a game played as a team, but it is a way to pick one winner based on individual records.

In the case of a battle royale-style gun shooting game in which only one out of 100 survives, if the average end time of the games played is too long compared to the preset standard time, it will be surrounded by the outside of the map given during the game and gradually move to the inside of the map over time. It is characterized in that the processing time for the narrowing of the outer curtain is accelerated.

If the average end time of the played games is too short compared to the predetermined reference time, the time when the outer curtain is gradually narrowed down to the inside of the map as it is surrounded by the outside of the map given during the progress of the game is slowed down.

The processing as described above is made through the gun shooting game progress control unit 114. The average game time of the actual game is calculated, and the game time is adjusted as described above.

It describes the reward conditions and reward amount of promotional games.

For example, if the promotion game is a 1:1 hit or fight game, you must win 10 consecutive wins to become the basic reward condition, and for a game such as poker with 4 players, you must win 5 consecutive wins to become the basic reward condition. In the case of a racing game in which people participate, the basic reward condition is when winning 4 consecutive wins, in the case of a team match game in which 16 players participate, 3 consecutive wins are the basic compensation condition, and in the case of a battle royale type game in which 100 players participate, 2 It is the basic compensation condition only when you win consecutive games.

The above basic compensation condition, the number of consecutive wins, decreases when the basic compensation amount decreases, and increases when the basic compensation amount increases.

For example, in the case of a 1:1 game, the basic compensation condition is 10 consecutive wins and the basic compensation amount is set to 5,000 won. If the basic compensation condition is lowered to 9 consecutive wins, the basic compensation will be reduced to 2,500 won. If the basic compensation condition is increased to 11 consecutive wins, the basic compensation will increase to 10,000 won. The above basic compensation amount increases as the PC room usage fee increases. For example, if the PC room usage fee is 1,000 won, and if the promotional game is a match or fighting game, the basic reward condition is 10 consecutive wins, and the basic reward amount is 5,000 won. However, if the PC room usage fee is 1,500 won, even if the basic compensation condition does not change to 10 consecutive wins, the basic compensation amount becomes 7500 won according to a 50% increase in the usage fee.

Explain the multiplier information.

If both A and B are the first games in the promoted game where A and B are matched, both A and B win 0, so the multiplier of A and B is 0 when matching the game. In the promoted game where A and B are matched, if A wins the game matched with C before that, A is 1 win, and if B is the first game B is 0, so the multiplier of A and B is 1. In the promoted game where A and B are matched, if A wins C and D before that, A wins 2 in a row, and if B is the first game, B wins 0, so the multiplier of A and B is 2. Even after winning streaks, if the game is lost after that, it is stored as 0 wins in the game participant DB 117.

When matching a game of participants stored in the game participant DB 117 in the game server 110, the match is performed only when the multiplier between the participants is less than or equal to the multiplier of the multiplier information provided from the event operation server 120.

The effect of multiplier adjustment matching will be described.

By matching the participants having a multiplier less than or equal to the multiplier of the multiplier information provided from the event operation server 120 in the same manner as described above, the amount of expenditure to be paid to the participant, and the event operation server 120 It is possible to adjust the degree of the amount to be paid to the operator.

Here is an example of a case where a game promotion is performed in order to pay a reward (e.g. 5,000 won) to a participant who achieves 10 consecutive wins. The reward may be directly paid from the PC room by transmitting the reward information from the event operation server 120 to the PC room 140 equipped with the corresponding client PC 141, or the operation participant DB ( 126) may be paid as a coupon to the participant's email or mobile phone.

If there is no limit on the odds of the matched participant, if the participant with 0 wins and the participant with 9 consecutive wins are matched and the participant with 9 consecutive wins wins, it is 10 consecutive wins and rewards are given, and the participant with 0 wins is awarded 0 do. At this time, the information on the rewarded participant is corrected and becomes 0 wins.

If the multiplier provided by the multiplier information is 0, the multiplier of the matched participant is '0', so the participant with 9 consecutive wins is matched with the participant with 9 consecutive wins, and the participant who wins out of the 9 consecutive wins becomes 10 consecutive wins and receives a reward. Participants who are paid and lose 9 consecutive wins become 0 wins.

Therefore, one of the cumulative multipliers of 9 consecutive wins becomes 0, and ultimately the amount spent as a reward decreases. By matching the participants having a multiplier less than or equal to the multiplier of the multiplier information provided from the event operation server 120 in the same manner as described above, the expenditure of the compensation amount to be paid to the participants is adjusted.

Participant settings will be described.

If there is an application from a participant who wants to participate in the promotion game, as described above, participant information is stored in the operation participant DB 125, transmitted to the game server 110, and stored in the game participant DB 117. Even if the participants are already matched with respect to the promotion game and some of the participants are not 0 wins, the additional participant becomes 0 wins and is stored in the game participant DB 117. When a participant stored in the game participant DB 117 applies for withdrawal from participation, the information is deleted from the game participant DB 117, and the withdrawal application information is transmitted to the event operation server 120 and deleted from the operation participant DB 125 do.

This will be explained with an example.

As of September 2019, PC room users pay 1,000 won per hour to the PC room, and a certain amount of 1,000 won is paid to the operator of the game server 110 accessed by the user. The game is described as an example. The amount described as an example is only an example for explanation and may be different from the actual amount paid. The operator of the'Mitgo' game is described as the operator of the'CC' game server.

Through the client PC 141 of the'AA' PC room,'A' accesses the'CC' game server 110 and requests the start of the'beat' game, and the client PC of the'BB' PC room 140 When'B' accesses the'CC' game server 110 through (141) and requests the start of the'right' game, and'A' and'B' are matched to play the'right' game for 1 hour , Out of 1,000 won paid by'A' to the'AA' PC room 140, 250 won is paid from the'AA' PC room 140 to the operator of the'CC' game server 110, and the remaining amount is'AA' The PC room 140 is imported, and 250 won out of 1,000 won paid to the'BB' PC room 140 by'B' is paid from the'BB' PC room 140 to the operator of the'CC' game server 110 The remaining amount is imported from the'BB' PC room 140 (actually, the PC room operator pre-pays the game server operator for the use time cost of the game, and the pre-paid usage time is deducted by playing the game. ). The PC room operator will prepay a lot of game time for games used by many users, and less time for games used by fewer users.

In the PC room e-sports operating method according to the present invention, the event operation server 120 is further included, and some of the usage fees of the PC room user must be paid to the event operation server 120 operator. Therefore, since the event operation server 120 operator is included in addition to the existing PC room operator and the game server 110 operator, income can be reduced, but the number of PC room users in the reality that the number of PC rooms closed due to a decrease in PC room users is increasing. Wow, increasing the use time is expected to benefit all by increasing the use time by the addition of the event operation server 120 operator for the purpose of the present invention, and increasing user interest.

The compensation in the present invention will be described.

The promotion game is a hit-go, and 1,024 participants apply for the game by promoting the game to pay a certain amount (for example, 5,000 won) to participants who have achieved 10 consecutive wins.

If the multiplier is set to 0, one player wins 10 consecutive wins, and the total game time played by 1,024 players is approximately 68 hours, assuming that the time required for one game in which the win or loss is determined is 4 minutes. Assuming that a user pays KRW 1,000 for 1 hour of use, the total fee paid by the participant is 68,000. Of these, 5,000 won is paid to the participant who wins 10 consecutive wins. In the case of a tournament-based event, only the winning participant is matched and the game is played, and the lost participant will not have any more matches. Therefore, the total revenue received from 1,024 game participants is limited to 68,000 won.

In the current tournament-based promotion, in order for the game for rewards to proceed again, the remaining players who have lost must wait until one player to win 10 consecutive wins is determined. When all games are finished in 4 minutes, and the game is immediately matched without waiting time when the game ends, the player who lost the first game takes 9 games (36 minutes if the average duration of one game is 4 minutes) During this time, I could not participate in the game and had to wait. Therefore, not only does not generate sales during the waiting time, but losers are not matched, so after losing, they are no longer interested in the game.

In the method of operating the PC room e-sports according to the present invention, the participant who has received the reward becomes 0 wins and is matched again to continue the participation. Regardless of the number of consecutive wins in the matched game, the losing participant becomes 0 wins, and the game server matches the game with other participants. In matching, participants within the multiplier range transmitted from the event operation server are matched. In this way, the participants within the multiplier range are continuously matched according to the winning streak information to play the game. Therefore, both the losing participant and the winning participant are matched with another participant after the win or loss, so that the game can continue, there is no waiting time, and the interest in participating in the game continues to be maintained, and the possibility of withdrawal is much lower.

Explain in contrast to the tournament method.

In the method of operating a PC cafe e-sports according to the present invention, if the multiplier is 0, participants of the same succession are matched to play the game. For example, a participant with 0 wins matches a participant with 0 wins, a participant with 1 win matches a participant with 1 win, a participant with 2 wins matches a participant with 2 consecutive wins, and a participant with 9 consecutive wins matches 9 consecutive wins. Matches with the participants of.

If the multiplier is 0 and the reward is 5,000 won for 10 consecutive wins, one player can receive the reward only after 1,024 games have been played, so that the tournament game method and the reward amount are the same. In this case, even if the lost participant wins 0 and is matched again to play the game, the same number of games must be played for 1,024 to receive a reward for one participant. If the multiplier is 0 wins, 1 player per 1,024 games will be rewarded.

If the multiplier is set to 0, the game must be matched within the multiplier range while the game is in progress, so even if an even number of participants participates, the multiplier condition is not satisfied, and the game may not match.

If the multiplier is 1 win, a participant with a power difference less than 1 is matched, so that a participant with a win of 0 is matched with a participant with a win of 0 or 1. Participants with 1 win are matched with 0, 1 or 2 consecutive wins, and 8 consecutive wins will be matched with 7 consecutive, 8 or 9 consecutive wins, and 9 consecutive wins 8 or 9 consecutive wins The promotion game is played by matching the participants of Therefore, in this case, when a game with fewer than 1,024 games is played, one player can receive a reward. The number of participants whose multiplier is rewarded per game increases, but there are no participants who cannot participate in the game due to the non-matching due to the multiplier, or much less than the case where the multiplier is zero.

If the multiplier is increased as above, the number of participants who are rewarded per game as a reward increases, but the number of participants who cannot participate in the game due to unmatched decreases, or if the number of participants is even, there are no participants who cannot match. Therefore, more participants are matched again after the game ends, and the number of participants waiting for matching decreases or disappears.

The grouping method will be described. This is a different embodiment from the information on the multiplier difference.

The operation information DB 124 stores grouping information for the participant multiplier.

The grouping information includes the number of groups and multiplier information to be included in each group. For example, 0 and 1 are included in group 1, 2 and 3 are in group 2, 4 and 5 are in group 3, 6 and 7 are in group 4, and 8 and 9 are in group 5.

The grouping information stored in the operation information DB 124 is transmitted to the game server 120 and is stored in the game operation information DB 118.

The participant information stored in the game participant DB 117 includes and stores the grouping information stored in the game operation information DB 118 according to the multiplier of the participant, and in matching, participants belonging to the same group are matched.

A method of handling a visitor for a certain time will be described. This is a different embodiment from the information on the multiplier difference.

Participants who have connected to the game server are placed on standby for a certain period of time, and after a certain period of time, the players are sorted in the order of the number of multipliers, and the most consecutive winners are matched in order.
