As the Internet is widely used, the number of Internet sites that provide various services through the Internet is increasing rapidly. Among these Internet sites, there are many sites for entertainment, which provide various kinds of entertainment services such as providing online games.

On the other hand, it is common for people to be interested in racing to compete with each other, and many people enjoy racing games such as horse racing or racing in real life. In addition to the horses, there are also races of dogs and other animals, and these races are rarely open to the public, and it is difficult for the general public to know that there are races and to observe them directly due to distance or time constraints.

In particular, people tend to be more interested in betting money in a race, in which case there is a high possibility of side effects as shown in horse racing or racing.

On the other hand, since the Internet is a network that connects the world, many people can use a particular service at the same time, and there is no time or distance limitation inherent in the off-line service. Therefore, there is a great need to combine racing games with interest on the Internet. In addition, betting by using cyber money may eliminate side effects that may occur in the off-line service.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to meet the above needs, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method of providing a racing game service through a process of providing a real race, such as a live animal or a model car, in real time through the Internet. .

In order to achieve the above object, the racing game service method through the Internet according to the present invention is to relay the racing process by any race object over the Internet in real time, to the participants betting on the race according to the race result Characterized in that it is configured to pay the cyber money.

At this time, the race may be performed by a live animal or by a model car.

The race rule may be arbitrarily set, and may be configured such that race objects are ranked in the order in which race objects start simultaneously from the starting point and arrive at the arrival point. In addition, the race may be configured in a raceway of a predetermined size having a plurality of arrival points each of which is assigned a number, but may be configured in such a way that one or more race objects match an arrival point number randomly arriving from the raceway.

If the advertisement is displayed on the race object, the present invention can be effectively combined with the advertisement.

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

1 is a block diagram of a service according to the present invention, in which an Internet site 10 for providing a service according to the present invention (race site) is photographed using a video camera 11 for a race process performed by an arbitrary race object and the Internet 20. Real time relay through). Each Internet user can access the race site 10 using his or her computer 30-1 to 30-n and then view the race situation in real time. In addition, the race site 10 pays each participant cyber money according to the race result, and records the amount of cyber money acquired by each participant in the database instead of paying actual money.

The race object that performs each race can be arbitrarily selected, and it can be interesting to provide a race game by consisting of living animals such as worms, mice, and dogs. FIG. 2 shows an example in which the cockroach 12-1 becomes a race object and runs a raceway 12 between a starting point and an arrival point. Of course, it can be a more desirable practice if the race can be made smoothly by using a method such as placing a favorite food near the arrival point of the race.

In addition, a model car may be used as the race object, and as illustrated in FIG. 3, the model cars 13-1 may be raced along a raceway 13 having an arbitrary shape. Of course, the driving of the model car 13-1 may be automatic, or may be controlled wirelessly by the coordinator.

Of course, each race may have different race objects. For example, if a total of three races are performed per day, the first race may relay races of cockroaches, the second race races of rats, and the third race races of model cars.

On the other hand, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the race can be configured so that each race object is ranked along the order of arrival at the arrival point by racing along the raceway from the starting point to the arrival point.

However, if the race object is a very low-intelligence animal (for example, a water seal) or an underwater animal, it is difficult to fix the direction of the race and thus the race progress cannot be performed smoothly. In such a case, the race may be performed in a raceway of a predetermined size having a plurality of arrival points each of which is designated, but it may be more interesting if one or more race objects are configured in such a way as to match the arrival point number that arrives by moving randomly in the raceway. 4 shows an example in which the seals 14-1 race on a pool 14 of a certain size, each arrival point being randomly assigned a number, and the participants match the number of arrival points for each seal to arrive. Proceed to the race. At this time, the arrival order can be ignored.

In addition, it is more preferable to configure each race object to display an advertisement. FIG. 5 illustrates an example in which advertisements 13-2 and 15-1 are displayed on a model car 13-1 and a rat 15, and a method of displaying advertisements may be arbitrarily performed. Then, the service providers providing the service according to the present invention can make a profit through advertising, and advertisers can increase the advertising effect because many participants participate due to the interest of the game.

6 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to this one example of implementing the present invention will be described in more detail.

First, the race site 10 posts race related information including a race event, a race schedule, and a real time odds on a bulletin board (S610). Then, the race site 10 receives a bet through the Internet 20 according to the request of the Internet users (S620) for a prescribed period (S620) (S622). That is, from the standpoint of Internet users, as a procedure for betting on a race object desired by each race by accessing the race site 10, the real-time odds in step S610 are changed from time to time according to the betting situation in step S622.

When the betting period ends (S620), the operator of the race site 10 proceeds with the race, the race situation is recorded with a video camera 11 and relayed in real time through the race site (10) (S630). Therefore, each participant can enjoy the game interestingly while cheering on the race object of his choice.

When the race ends, the cyber money is paid to the corresponding participant according to the race result (S640). The cyber money is determined by the amount and odds placed by the participant and recorded in the database.

On the other hand, in order to make the service according to the present invention more interesting, it is necessary to further include a procedure for providing a certain prize according to the amount of cyber money acquired by each participant. As an example, a puppet can be mailed to participants who collect 1 million won of cyber money.

In addition, by linking the shopping mall to the race site 10 and allowing each participant to shop at the shopping mall using the cyber money acquired by the participants, users may be more interested in using the cyber money more actively. .

Each Internet user may own the race object, but the owner of the race object may pay a certain amount of cyber money according to the race result. This is synonymous with horse racing, and each participant can participate in the race more actively, making the game more interesting.

Using the present invention, a plurality of participants can enjoy a race game of live animals or model cars together in real time via the Internet.

In addition, participants can purchase necessary items in a shopping mall or receive prizes by using cyber money acquired through betting, and can enjoy economic games and economic benefits at the point of view of service providers. You can increase your revenue by displaying ads.

At this time, since the cyber money is used for betting made in the present invention, participants do not have to worry about economic damage. In other words, it can prevent side effects caused by services such as racing and racing, so that many people can enjoy a healthy racing game together.
