Abstract

PURPOSE: A game and search engine integration system and method is provided to guide a game user to perform a game only if the game user definitely recognize a domain image used in a game via a memorization and an inference, and perform a search within high quality sites by using a database constructed with just sites having a game engine. The internet user can enjoy a game while performing web surfing. CONSTITUTION: A game and search engine integration method comprises steps of designing a brand image corresponding to contents characteristics within a site, using the designed image as a game image, making a search window in the right side of a game window by constructing a search engine installing a domain game, and allowing a game user, accessing each site, perform a network game in one integrated site by putting a network game menu at a game search engine installed at each site. The integration system is constructed by JAVA, running irrespective of a platform only if the service supplier offers a program integrating the search engine with the domain game and the user terminal installs a plug-in program, for example a shockwave.

Description

Apparatus and method related to game and search engine combination system {game search engine}

The present invention relates to a game search engine system. Specifically, a user enjoys playing games and surfs the web, and web sites installed with a game search engine store a domain as an audiovisual image to the user and form a community between sites. The present invention relates to a game search engine system for sharing game search engine users.

Conventionally, in order to promote the site, pay the advertisement fee in a certain space of another site and place a banner advertisement so that the user is exposed to it, and implement the existing puzzle or slot machine games on the web to implement the banner advertisement on the game image. There is a way to use it.

In addition, the search engine has a way to build a vast database as a DB so that users can find a site with the desired information by using a category search or keyword search.

However, these banner ads have been questioned for their effectiveness because they have a CTR of less than 1%, and the technique of using banner ads in the game has a higher attention rate, but it has a limitation that it can be advertised only in one site that provides game service.

In addition, the existing search engine has built a large amount of data as a DB, but it has a disadvantage that it is difficult to find exactly the high-quality site that users want.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to propose a method in which a game user can play a game only by accurately recognizing a domain image used in a game through memory and reasoning ability, thereby effectively storing the domain image of each site.

In addition, by building a DB using only the site where the game search engine is installed and using it for the search engine, the purpose of the search is to be performed in a high quality site with a network.

By designing a domain image as a brand image and using it in a game, the organic combination of a game and a search engine is achieved so that a user can surf the web while playing a game. Sites where a game search engine is installed are networked sites. The effect of sharing users with each other, and above all, many websites that have not been promoted because they could not spend banner advertisements and have high quality content can simultaneously promote the domain image to various sites in other communities at low cost. .

Figure 7a is an exemplary view showing a screen configuration of Figure 7 in the present invention,

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a server in which the game provider combines a game using a domain and a search engine in a game search engine system. Regardless of the type of flash, it is a flash or platform-independent program written in Java.

The program is installed in a low-cost leasing format on a web site that wants to use the service, and the information on the site, the domain, and the data necessary for the game are stored in the integrated site server DB.

The domains of various sites using this service are built as a DB of search engines on the server side of the integrated site, and the domains are used as the image of the game by making the brand image according to the content characteristics of each site.

The user of each site where the game search engine is installed is characterized in that the network integration site 30 is constructed so that a network game is possible through a menu of the game search engine.

The DB related to the domain information and site information used for the search engine is characterized in that it is built on the server of the integrated site (30).

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a block diagram of a general computer, and FIG. 2 is a diagram in which a server computer and a user computer are connected through a network.

1 and 2 illustrate a usage environment used in the present invention. First, as shown in FIG. 1, a computer may include hardware such as an input device 3 such as a keyboard 1, a mouse 2, and a monitor. (7), an output device (9) such as a printer (8), etc., and a processing device (6), such as a microprocessor (4) and a hard disk (5), operating software (OS) and application program in software. It is equipped with various programs such as (AP).

In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, server computers 2000, 2001, and 2002 and user computers 1000, 1001, and 1002 can be connected to each other and communicate with each other. The server computer stores various information or data on the web site and provides it to the user computer, and the user computer displays the information or data on the web site provided by the server computer to the user through the monitor 8.

3 is a block diagram of a game search engine system of the present invention, in which a game search engine is installed in a rental format at each site (10, 11, 12) to receive the service. It shows the network connection through. Similarly, it is a diagram showing that the game search engine is connected to the integrated site 30 for playing a network game and connected to the DB of the integrated site.

In FIG. 4, each individual user accesses the Internet through a dedicated line or a telephone line using a modem, and then accesses and logs in again to use the services of each site, and the game search engine installed as part of the contents of each site. This is accessed through the menu item. In this case, each user uses a game search engine to simultaneously enjoy a game where a product or points can be obtained and web surfing through a search engine.

In FIG. 5, a screen configured as shown in FIG. 6A is displayed to a user who enters a game search engine service. In addition, the EXIT button 300c is provided so that the user can exit the game search engine at any time. When the EXIT button 300c is clicked, the user returns to the main screen of each site. If the EXIT button 300c is not pressed, the game subroutine 300 is executed.

When using a search engine first without using a game, the embodiment is as follows.

There are two ways to use a search engine, one using a keyword input box and the other using a pre-categorized category.

For example, when a keyword of information to be searched for is entered in the search box 300e (202), the sites registered in the DB 40 of the integrated site server are searched and loaded with matching sites from the database (203). To be displayed on the domain search window 300e. If the site information button 300g is clicked (204), the summary information of the site registered in the DB of the integrated site server is output (205). If the user clicks the image button 300f immediately without clicking the information button, the user immediately moves to the site (207).

In the case of using the category search box which is the second method, an embodiment is as follows. Domains registered in advance are classified into categories such as financial securities, culture and arts, living cars, and game entertainment. For example, when a user selects a financial securities category and hits enter, they are classified as financial securities. The domain images that have been previously loaded are displayed in the search box 300e. If the site information button 300g is clicked (210), the summary information of the site registered in the DB of the integrated site server is output (211). If the user clicks the image button 300f immediately without clicking the information button, he / she immediately moves to the site (213).

If the user executes the game subroutine 201 and then presses the start button 300d without using a search engine, one of the site domains loaded in the domain search window 300e is randomly selected due to the existing process. If the start button is not pressed, the display 216 is displayed on the main domain window 300a, and if the start button is not pressed, the routine asking whether to use the search engine is performed again.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a case in which a user performs a game subroutine, and FIG. 6A is an exemplary diagram of a screen. First, the domain image of each site is displayed 301 in the main domain window 300a, and whether or not the game type is selected is determined (302,303). If game2 menu is selected, game subroutine 2 is performed (304). If game1 is selected, the following routine is performed.

First, it is determined whether it is the first game (305). If not, a new domain image is displayed on the main domain window 300a. In the case of the first game, the game is performed first with the domain of each site. Thereafter, the level type is determined (307, 308, 310, 312), and in the case of level 1, the game is started (315) by asking whether the start button is clicked or not. When the game starts, after 3 seconds, the image displayed in the main domain window disappears, and instead, a small domain image is displayed in the image view window 300b. Subsequently, domain image fragments, which have been divided into eight columns (which may be divided into more than one degree of difficulty), are randomly selected and appear in the image matching window 300h. The user sees the afterimage of the memory that was recognized earlier and the domain image shown in the image view window 300b before the 6-block time block, which is reduced by one space per second, completely disappears, and then randomly selects the correct image fragment. The location should be clicked 316 in the main domain window 300a. If it is wrong, it asks whether it is EXIT. If it is not, it returns after displaying the original image again. If it is corrected, it is determined whether or not it is completely aligned (321), and if it is corrected, it saves and returns the captured points or visits the site of the customized domain. If not, the correct image is displayed in the main domain window 300a. After the display, the remaining time is converted into points, and the remaining images are randomly selected and displayed, and the game is played again.

In the case of level 2 in the level selections 307, 308, 310, and 312, the same routine as in the above process is performed, but the image is not displayed in the small image view window 300b and is displayed only when the user wants a limited number of times during the game execution.

In the case of level 3 in the level selection (307, 308, 310, 312), the same routine as in the above process is performed, but the image shown in the image alignment window 300h is randomly changed from side to side. You must click 316 the correct position.

If the level is 4 in the level selection (307, 308, 310, 312), the same routine as in the above process is performed, but if a bet point is entered within the range of points earned in the betting window, the score is doubled if it is perfectly correct. To get If you make a mistake, you lose all your bets.

In the above process, the game user must intentionally remember the domain image in order to play the game.

FIG. 7 illustrates a game subroutine 2 process when the user selects game 2 in FIG. 6. The second type of game using the domain is to learn English, play games, and surf the web at the same time.

First, the user selects an information field to search for a game through a keyword or category input window 400a and reads it from the relevant problem database (402, 404). After that, the user selects a difficulty level. The difficulty level is usually divided into a middle school student, a high school student, a college student, and a graduate school, and the user may select one of the difficulty levels (405). When the user clicks the start button 400k, the game is started 407, where a domain is randomly selected from the selected database and a problem database associated with the domain is loaded. And a blank space is made according to the alphabet number of the domain which should be matched with the domain window 400d. In the betting input window 400i, a user can make a bet by inputting an alphabet that is assumed to be included in the domain alphabet to be guessed. In the case of betting, if there is a matching alphabet, the alphabet is displayed 409 at the correct position of the domain window 400d. The hint button is broken down into roughly related site-related phrases, domain word countermeasures, similar words, use case 1, use case 2, and other hints that allow the user to guess and effectively remember the domain. A desired one of the hint buttons 400e is clicked 411 to display the display 412 in the hint window 400f. If the user is given a chance to input the correct answer (413) in the correct answer window 400j, and if the answer is wrong, the remaining hint selection opportunity is given. If the answer is correct, the domain is displayed (414) in the domain window 400d and the remaining hints are displayed. (415) After that, the user can benefit from points or prizes, and repeat the game routine or move to a site of a customized domain to visit. If there is no remaining hint, the domain is displayed in the domain window 400d and the game routine is repeated again. The structure of the hints gives different examples according to the difficulty of the problem, and the word dictionary box (400g) next to the hints can be used to search for unknown words using the electronic dictionary database. When presenting the hint 412, the native speaker's voice, which is stored in the database in advance, is also displayed to help improve listening skills.

Prizes or services used to earn points for games are provided by companies that register their sites for domain English language learning problems. It also organizes network games for two or more people through a unified network site.

Specific embodiments of the game 2 will be described in detail as follows.

First of all, the company seeks a sponsor who wants to promote the domain of its own site, and provides information that summarizes the contents of the site, phrases that can describe the site in one sentence, and advertisement contents. If you receive a domain promotion fee in cash or for a product or service ticket (points, etc.) that allows you to use your site, the English word used for each site's domain, for example goodbrand.com, means good and brand. -giving satisfaction / trademark-particular kind of goods with such a mark), similar words (beneficial / competent and trademark), opposite words (bad / incompetent), example (Is this water good to drink? / It's good to be home Again and an excellent brand of coffee) to build a database using existing electronic dictionaries. For example, in the case of interpark.co.kr, the words internet and park mean (Internet / park-public garden or public recreation ground in a town), similar words (network and playing field), and opposite words ( Independent PC) and usage examples (Internet is the key word of information society and let's get to the national park) are constructed using existing electronic dictionaries. In addition, when Korean is written in English as bomul.com, it constitutes a problem using treasure, which is an English word meaning treasure. It builds a database of meanings and pronunciations of all English words used in word semantics, similar words, opposite words, and usages.

Classified databases according to domains are classified into fields such as economy, computer, shopping, and culture, and separate databases are built to meet the level of grade level for middle and high school students and TOEFL or TOEIC for general people. In addition, the TOEIC and TOEFL problem items can be set separately so that the actual TOEIC or TOEFL problem containing the words related to the domain can be solved.

Details of other specific execution order may be described as follows.

The first hint unconditionally displays the information content of the advertising site (for example, "What is the representative site that collects the best power brands in our country for stock trading?"). Use of the voice database is as follows. In other words, if you want to hear the meaning and pronunciation of words that occurred when you clicked 'similar words' in the process of solving a problem, for example, click on the word and search the stored database to find the meaning of the word that matches the 'similar words'. Outputs and displays audio. In addition, if you click the displayed sentence after pressing the 'use case' hint button, it reads the stored voice data to output the native speaker's voice.

If you think of a domain that needs to be matched while opening a hint, at any stage, you can enter the domain in the correct answer box so that the correct answer can be corrected.

If the user answers the question correctly, the remaining hints are displayed to learn naturally, and then the domain brand is greatly enlarged to be displayed on the whole screen as a dynamic image, and at the same time, a voice message that characterizes the domain is output to display the domain as an audiovisual image. Make it aware. In addition, for example, "Let's draw good subscribers by May 10, we will give you 1000 mp3 prizes."

Points earned by performing a number of problems allow you to use cash, merchandise, and services on our site provided by the sponsor. The service provider receives money from using the site's domain for games or receives banner ads separately. Get It attracts dozens and hundreds of sites to advertisers to promote them at very low cost, and builds a database of thousands of words related to the words used in the domain (using the existing electronic dictionary DB). Build your site.

The above-described game can be made into a two-person and multiplayer game, and proceeds in a quiz format to configure points to drive. (For 2 players, give the same problem and bet to prioritize the users who matched the domain first, then open the hints one by one and give them a chance to match and collect the points earned for cash or draw a prize. , Cyber lottery, shopping mall products, etc., depending on the difficulty of the domain to be matched the score that can be obtained.)

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated according to the Example, this invention is not limited to the said Example, It is possible to change into another form, without deviating from the idea of this invention. In other words, it is also possible to find a sponsor who wants to promote a domain, take off the search engine, and implement the two types of games described above on one site.

The site that installed the game service can effectively remember the domain image at once by using the domain directly and provide the game that should be immersed intentionally by using the memory and reasoning ability of the user. In addition, the site installed with the game service program in combination with the search engine can share the user at a low rental cost, and the domain image is always displayed in the search box, so that the banner advertisement effect can be obtained.

Users can enjoy games, learning and searching together, and also have the opportunity to receive various benefits such as giveaway services provided by service providers. And since you only surf the web within a verified site, you're much more likely to get quality information without wasting time.

In addition, the service provider can naturally acquire a large number of members by building an integrated site for network games, and have a stable profit structure based on rental costs received from each site.
