** List the performing subject as “computing device” and write based on operation on the server (or terminal)

*** The server standard log and the terminal standard log should be determined appropriately according to the characteristics of the invention.

From here, the features of the invention are explained ->

According to an embodiment of the present specification, the server 120-140 may be a computing device 200 that provides a board game reflecting real-world information to the user device 110 connected through the network 1. The servers 120-140 that provide games may be single servers or cloud servers. Hereinafter, the specific configuration of a board game reflecting real-world information provided by the computing device 200 operating as the server 120-140 will be described using FIGS. 3 to 6 as an example.

Figure 3 shows a configuration diagram of a board game board 300 according to an embodiment of the present specification. According to an embodiment of the present specification, the board game provided by the computing device 200 moves to an area corresponding to an administrative district, purchases land in the area, and builds a building (e.g., a shopping mall, officetel, apartment, villa, etc.). It may be a game played by building and receiving rent.

Referring to Figure 3, the board game board 300 includes a departure zone 301, a regional card zone 303, a real estate policy zone 305, a real estate transaction zone 307, a casino zone 309, and a luck card zone ( 311). The computing device 200 transmits data about the configuration of the board game board 300 through the network 1, and the user device 110 uses the received data to use the board game board 300 to allow users participating in the game to use the board game board 300. Display it so you can see it.

According to an embodiment of the present specification, the board game reflecting real information is set so that all words of the connected user start from the starting zone 301. When first launched, all users are configured to start with a preset amount of money. For example, the preset holding amount may be 3 billion won, and depending on the settings, each user may start with a different initial amount. The user's initial holding amount is determined by the game difficulty (e.g., difficult, normal, easy, etc.), the user's investment propensity (e.g., active investment propensity, moderate investment propensity, safety-oriented, etc.), and/or game termination conditions (e.g. For example, it ends when it passes the departure zone a certain number of times (10 times, etc.), ends when any user becomes bankrupt, ends when the cash holding amount is below or above a certain amount, ends when the asset valuation is above a certain amount, etc.) Depending on the computing device (200 ) can be set automatically. Alternatively, it may be set manually by receiving input from a specific user, such as the head of a game room.

The computing device 200 moves the user's piece in the starting zone 301 by the sum of the numbers that each user throws two dice in turn in a predetermined order. According to another embodiment, the number of moving spaces may be determined by rolling a roulette wheel or using other methods rather than throwing dice.

In this way, the computing device 200 pays a certain amount of money as annual salary when the user's horse makes one turn and passes the starting zone 301 again. For example, the preset annual salary may be 200 million won. The user annual salary may be automatically set by the computing device 200 according to the game difficulty, users' investment propensity, and/or game ending conditions. Alternatively, it may be set manually by receiving input from a specific user, such as the head of a game room.

According to an embodiment of the present specification, a board game reflecting real-world information may be set to be available for loan. In this case, the interest rate for the loan interest can also be determined by reflecting actual information, and each time the user's horse passes the starting zone 301, interest according to the interest rate must be paid. The loanable amount can be set as a fixed amount such as 1 billion won or 2 billion won to make it easy to calculate interest. For example, if the loan interest rate is 10% and the loan amount is 1 billion won, the computing device 200 collects interest by 100 million won each time the user's horse passes the starting zone 301. When a user with a loan amount of 1 billion won passes the departure zone 301, the computing device 200 pays only 100 million won to the user by subtracting interest (100 million won) from the annual salary (200 million won).

The computing device 200 moves the pieces along the direction (for example, clockwise) on the board game board 300 according to the number of squares each user moves in order, and determines the nature of the squares the pieces moved to. Accordingly, the details of the relevant box are displayed and the user's input is received.

If the user's piece moves to the local card zone 303, the user can purchase a share of the land in the area and construct a building. Buildings can be apartments, officetels, shops, villas, etc., and each land can be set up so that only one building or multiple buildings can be purchased. Computing device 200 recalculates the user's cash holdings based on the purchase price if the user chooses to purchase land and/or buildings in the area to which the user moved.

Figure 4 shows an example of a regional card for a board game according to an embodiment of the present specification. The regional card zone (303) of the board game board (300) set in Korea is the local city zone (303-1), the metropolitan area new city zone (303-2), the Seoul regional zone (303-3), and Gangnam 3-gu ( It can be composed of major administrative districts such as regional zones (303-4) (Gangnam-gu, Seocho-gu, Songpa-gu). Referring to FIG. 4, region cards corresponding to the region card zone 303 of the board game board 300 are shown as examples. In this way, the regional card zone 303 can be set to suit the characteristics of each region by dividing administrative districts into a hierarchical structure that reflects Korea's real estate situation, and can be distinguished on the board game board 300 with different colors. You can.

Regional cards corresponding to local city zones (303-1) can include major local cities in Korea such as Busan, Cheongju, Chuncheon, Daegu, Ulsan, Gwangju, and Yeosu. Referring to Figure 4, the front side (a) showing the characteristics of the local city and its location on the map, and the back side showing the land value in the area, the purchase price of each building (officetel, shopping mall, apartment, etc.), and the annual rent for each building. An example in (b) is shown. The computing device 200 provides various visual effects (enlargement, transition, rotation) so that the user can check the front (a) and back (b) of the local city zone card when the user's horse moves to the local city zone (303-1) area. etc.) can be applied. The front (a) and back (b) sides of the local city area card can be switched on the screen by the user's selection.

Regional cards corresponding to the metropolitan area new city zone (303-2) may include new cities in the metropolitan area in Korea such as Ilsan, Bundang, Pangyo, Ansan, Wirye, Gimpo, and Bundang. Referring to Figure 4, the front (c) showing the characteristics of the new city and its location on the map, and the back (c) showing the land value in the area, the purchase price of each building (officetel, shopping mall, apartment, etc.), and the annual rent for each building ( An example of d) is shown. The computing device 200 provides various visual effects (enlargement, transition, rotation, etc.) so that the user can check the front (c) and back (d) of the new city area card when the user's horse moves to the metropolitan area new city zone (303-2) area. ) can be applied. The front (c) and back (d) sides of the new city area card can be switched on the screen by the user's selection.

The region card corresponding to the Seoul regional zone (303-3) can include major areas of Seoul, the capital of Korea, such as Oksu-dong, Seongsu-dong, Dunchon-dong, Eungam-dong, Guui-dong, Yongsan, Yeouido, and Mok-dong. Referring to Figure 4, the front side (e) showing the characteristics of the Seoul area and the location on the map, and the back side showing the land value in the area, the purchase price of each building (officetel, shopping mall, apartment, etc.), and the annual rent for each building. An example in (f) is shown. The computing device 200 provides various visual effects (enlargement, transition, rotation, etc.) so that the user can check the front (e) and back (f) of the Seoul area card when the user's horse moves to the Seoul area zone (303-3) area. ) can be applied. The front (e) and back (f) sides of the Seoul area card can be switched on the screen depending on the user's selection.

The regional card corresponding to the Gangnam 3-gu regional zone (303-4) can include major areas in Gangnam 3-gu, where real estate prices are particularly expensive in Seoul, such as Samseong-dong, Daechi-dong, Apgujeong-dong, Gaepo-dong, Jamsil, Banpo, Nohyeon-dong, and Cheongdam-dong. . Referring to Figure 4, the front (g) showing the characteristics of the Gangnam 3-gu area and the location on the map, the land value in the area, the purchase price of each building (officetel, shopping mall, apartment, etc.), and the annual rent for each building. An example of one back side (h) is shown. The computing device 200 provides various visual effects (enlargement, conversion, rotation, etc.) can be applied. The front (g) and back (h) sides of the Gangnam 3-gu regional card can be switched on the screen depending on the user's selection.

When the user's word is moved to the local card zone (303) and the user chooses to purchase land and buildings in the area, the purchase cost specified on the back of each local card is deducted as shown in Figure 4 and the local card zone (303) ) is displayed as the purchased user's land. At this time, the corresponding regional card zone 303 may be displayed in a different pattern and/or color for each user. The user can purchase the building while purchasing the land, or purchase only the land and then choose to purchase the building separately the next time he or she moves to the local card zone (303). When purchasing local land, the local card may be displayed as an ownership card to the purchasing user. When purchasing and constructing a building, an icon according to the type of building may be displayed in the local card zone 303.

If there is a building in the regional card zone 303 that has been purchased by a specific user and marked as the user's land, when another user moves to the corresponding regional card zone 303, the rent specified on the back of each regional card is charged as shown in Figure 4. is deducted from the holding amount of other users, and is added to the holding amount of the user who owns the area. Depending on the setting, the computing device 200 may control the first rotation so that the rent is not deducted so that no rent is charged even if there is purchased land, and the rent is deducted from the second rotation. If a horse arrives at the local card zone (303) marked as land purchased by another user and has to pay rent, but does not have the money in hand or is insufficient to pay the rent, the user will place an auction bid for the property he or she owns, starting at half the purchase price. You need to raise cash by selling it. At this time, if no user bids, it is sold to the bank at half price.

In the real world, real estate prices fluctuate frequently, so to further enhance the realism of the game, external data such as actual real estate transaction prices can be collected and local card purchase prices and rents can be updated by relating them to real information. The computing device 200 can build a database of the collected real estate transaction prices, rental information, etc., update it from time to time, and change the setting information for the local card by reflecting this.

Figure 5 shows a policy card for a board game according to an embodiment of the present specification. The board game board 300, set in Korea, can reflect Korean real estate regulatory policies, including the real estate policy zone 305. Referring to Figure 5, a policy card corresponding to the real estate policy zone 305 of the board game board 300 is shown. For example, reflecting the various real estate policies in effect in Korea, policy cards may include the Rent Protection Act enforcement card (a), loan restriction card (b), income tax increase card (c), and comprehensive real estate tax increase card (d). .

When the user's horse moves to the real estate policy zone 305, the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport becomes the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and the policy can be executed or canceled depending on the card selected among the corresponding policy cards. For example, if the Rent Protection Act enforcement card (a) is selected to enforce the Rent Protection Act, from then on, when arriving at the local card zone (303) where the building was constructed, the rent is twice the amount written on the back of the original local card. may be deducted, and if enforcement is lifted, the original rent may return. If the loan restriction card (b) is selected and implemented, the new loan limit can be reduced by half or new loans can be eliminated, and if enforcement is lifted, new loans can be returned to the original limit. If the income tax increase card (c) is selected and implemented, half of the preset annual salary that can be received after passing through the departure zone (301) will be paid as income tax and only half of the annual salary will be received. If the income tax increase card (c) is canceled, it will return to the original annual salary. You can. If the comprehensive real estate tax increase card (d) is selected and implemented, if there are two or more apartments in the Gangnam 3-gu regional zone (303-4), comprehensive real estate tax of 200 million won per apartment is collected from two or more apartments each time they enter the departure zone (301). If it is lifted, the comprehensive real estate tax deduction will disappear. For example, during the implementation of the comprehensive real estate tax increase policy, if there are three apartments in the Gangnam 3-gu regional zone (303-4), the comprehensive real estate tax of 400 million won for the two apartments excluding one is deducted every time they enter the departure zone (301). According to various embodiments, when a horse arrives in the real estate policy zone 305, the user can be set to selectively decide whether to implement all policies, or to decide whether to implement only the policy of the card selected among the policy cards. It can also be set to decide.

In the real world, various real estate policies are implemented and related tax laws are frequently revised, so in order to further increase the sense of realism in board games and increase the fun and interest of the game, we crawl external data (news, SNS, government policy data, etc.) Policies can be stored in a database. Based on this data, the type of policy card to be applied to the game can be set, and the strength (level) of each policy can be set in various ways. For example, you can set a property tax increase policy card as a policy to apply to the game based on external data, and the strength of the policy is 1% increase in property tax, 2% increase, maintenance, 1% decrease, and 5% property tax only above the purchase price. It can be set in various ways, such as rising. The contents of the policy card can be determined by region and purchase cost, and are periodically updated to reflect external data. For example, if the speculative overheating district designation card is added and implemented as a policy card, an additional transfer tax will be added for transactions in areas (Sejong, Busan, etc.) that are actually designated as speculative overheating districts, or the departure zone (301) will be entered several times. Trading may be restricted, such as only being able to trade if it passes the above level. In reality, if the Busan region is removed from the overheated speculative district, it can be immediately reflected in the game so that Busan is not included in the overheated speculative district even if the designation card for the overheated speculative district is implemented as a policy card in the game.

The computing device 200 may apply policy settings with different strengths to each of a plurality of games currently being played and evaluate the influence of ranking changes on the results according to the applied policy card. At this time, one policy and one intensity may be applied per game, one policy and two or more intensities may be applied per game, or various modifications may be made, such as applying two or more intensities to two or more policies. can do. For example, information on how the rankings of user players in the game changed when the 10% property tax increase card was frequently applied. Users who were initially low ranked gradually became middle rank as the 10% property tax increase card was frequently applied to other users. By collecting information that has been raised above or, conversely, information that junior users have become more junior or have gone bankrupt, it is possible to evaluate the influence of policy and intensity on game balancing. In other words, the influence of each policy card/strength can be evaluated on multiple games running in real time, and the influence of ranking changes by policy card/strength can be built into a database. The computing device 200 can control game balancing and induce appropriate fun by using evaluation information. For example, the computing device 200 can set the probability of occurrence of cards with high ranking influence to lower and slightly increase the probability of occurrence of cards with low ranking influence to control the game difficulty and induce appropriate interest in the game.

When the user's word arrives at the real estate transaction zone 307, the user must select one of the real estate he or she owns and dispose of it. For example, when a user selects a property to dispose of among the real estate he or she owns, the property may be disposed of at a price determined through competitive bidding by other users, and may be sold at that price to a user who bids a higher price. If no one wants to buy it, it can be sold to the bank at cost price. If there is a user in the real estate transaction zone 307 who has another item (for example, a luxury watch, a luxury bag, etc.), the user may choose to dispose of the item instead. Other items can be obtained through luck cards, which will be described later.

When the user's horse arrives at the casino zone 309, the user first selects an odd or even number and bets an amount. At this time, the limit on the betting amount may be set to a certain amount or there may be no limit. If the user throws a dice and guesses an odd or even number, the amount held increases by the amount bet, and if the user guesses incorrectly, the amount held is decreased by the amount bet. Additionally, other users can also place bets on whether the user in the casino zone 309 will lose money or not. Other users may be set to only bet less than the amount bet by the user in the casino zone 309.

Figure 6 shows a luck card for a board game according to an embodiment of the present specification. Referring to FIG. 6, a lucky card (a) and a bad luck card (b) corresponding to the lucky card zone 311 of the board game board 300 are shown as examples. For example, Uncard (a) includes various events that can increase the user's assets (acquiring luxury watches/luxury bags/expensive cars, etc., receiving lottery winnings, winning apartment subscriptions, receiving cash, stock gains, etc.) The bad luck card (b) can include various events that can reduce the user's assets (disposal of assets at half their value, payment of taxes, loss from voice phishing, payment of fines, hospital expenses, stock loss, etc.).

When the user's horse moves to the luck card zone 311, an event occurs depending on the selected card, either a lucky card or a bad luck card. The computing device 200 decreases or increases the user's assets depending on the event of the selected lucky card or unlucky card. If the selected luck card is an event for acquiring items such as luxury watches/luxury bags/expensive cars, etc., the luck card will be moved to the user's card, and the user must arrive at another user's land and pay the building rent. In this case, you can alternatively pay with a luxury watch/luxury bag/expensive car. At this time, if alternative payment is selected, the luck card will be returned.

The computing device 200 operates according to the game rules described above to advance the board game, and when the game ending condition is reached, users are ranked in order of the amount of real estate and cash they own. For example, the conditions for ending the game are when even one user passes the starting zone 301 a certain number of times, when the cash in hand is above or below a certain amount, and/or when even one user goes bankrupt due to failure to pay rent, etc. It can be set to .

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, the operational flow of the computing device 200 operating as a server that provides a board game reflecting real-world information being played as described above will be described.

Referring to FIG. 7, the method of providing a board game reflecting real-world information by the computing device 200 according to an embodiment of the present specification includes a user connection step (S701), a game rule and related information setting step (S703), and a game It includes a board provision step (S705), a game state update step according to user input (S707), and a user game ranking step (S709).

First, the user device 110 connects to the computing device 200, which is a game server, through the network 1 (S701). The computing device 200 transmits data necessary to run the board game, version update data, etc. to the user device 110 and maintains it in a standby state until the game starts. Board games can only be played when two or more users are connected.

Next, the computing device 200 sets the game rules and related information of the board game (S703). In order to play a board game, the computing device 200 sets the game difficulty, sets the policy content and strength of the policy card, sets the real estate purchase price/rent, sets the game ending conditions, and sets the initial holding amount. and/or set rules and content for game play, such as setting the salary amount. All or part of the settings may be set by receiving a selection input from a specific user (for example, a room host user). In order to provide a board game reflecting real-life information according to an embodiment of the present specification, the computing device 200 uses real estate prices, rent prices, and government policies (e.g., rental protection law, loan regulations, income tax increase, and ownership tax). Information such as tax increases, comprehensive real estate tax increases, designation of overheated speculation districts, etc.) can be stored in a database and updated periodically. For example, the computing device 200 crawls external data (news, SNS, government policy data, etc.) to update related policies in the database, and based on this, the purchase price of regional cards of board games, policy card contents, etc. You can set rules and related information.

The computing device 200 provides a game board by reflecting the set game information (S705). The game board provided by the computing device 200 may be, for example, the board game board 300 as shown in FIG. 3 .

Thereafter, the computing device 200 updates the game state change according to the user's input as the game progresses (S707). The computing device 200 allows the user to roll dice (or roll roulette, or determine the number of spaces to move in another form) according to the board game play method described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. The computing device 200 places the user's pieces on the board. The game status is updated by moving the corresponding space on the game board 300 and changing the user's holding amount, holding real estate, holding cards, etc. according to the input selected by the user depending on the arriving zone.

The computing device 200 determines the game ranking by calculating the users' real estate and cash assets at the end of the game (S709). The conditions for ending the game are, in the game rule and related information setting step (S703), if even one user passes through the starting zone 301 a certain number of times, if the cash held is more than or less than a certain amount, and/or if even one user rents, etc. It can be set in the case of bankruptcy due to failure to pay the debt. The computing device 200 determines whether the set game ending condition has been reached, and when it is determined that the game ending condition is satisfied, it ranks the users by evaluating the value of real estate and cash assets held by each user in the current state.

The computing device 200 uses the game settings and end-user ranking results in the above-described operation process to evaluate the impact of the applied policy content, policy strength, basic holding amount, monthly salary, purchase amount/rent of each regional card, etc. on the ranking. You can. You can build a database by evaluating the influence of changes in ranking of specific cards and card contents. Based on this database, the computing device 200 can control the probability of occurrence for each card by increasing or decreasing the probability of occurrence of cards with high influence and lowering or increasing the probability of occurrence of cards with low influence. Through this, it can be used as a setting according to the level of difficulty, a setting to induce appropriate fun, etc.

Additionally, the computing device 200 may store and analyze each user's game history and determine the investment propensity and/or preference for each setting for each user based on this. The computing device 200 may use information determined for an individual user to provide a game at a later date. For example, the computing device 200 randomly matches games based on the investment propensity information determined for each user, that is, when randomly determining the game room to enter, the computing device 200 is used to randomly determine the game room to enter so that it is composed of people with different investment propensities or the same person. It can be used to further increase each user's satisfaction with the game.
