Screen data of a baseball ball viewed from a position, and in the case of soccer, screen data in which the size of a soccer ball changes when the soccer ball enters the area of the game participant "A" occupied on the screen. Screen data of the soccer ball viewed from the position "A" when there is a soccer ball in an area other than "" and other game participant positions And the like, the motion picture data of the soccer ball, looking on, if there is a table tennis table tennis racket, such as how the angle of the direction of the direction of a table tennis ball hit the ping-pong ball vary depending on how the direction of the screen data.

In addition, in FIG. 1, the member database 70, the situational screen database 80, and the game program storage unit 90 are configured separately from the game server 60, but the member database 70 is included in the game server 60. ) And the situational screen database 80 and the game program storage unit 90 may be incorporated.

In the above description of the present invention, the control box and the PC are separately connected to be wired one-to-one, but as shown in FIG. 7, the control box may be built into the PC so that the PC can also function as a control box.

That is, the PC of FIG. 7 includes a signal receiver 30a for receiving a motion signal wirelessly transmitted from the exercise tool 10, 11, 12, 13; A key input unit 30b having a button for acting as a game selection function and an attack / defense determination function; A game program storage unit 30c for storing a predetermined game program (that is, a program for a desired game) downloaded from the game server 60 through a web server 50 and an internet network 40; The motion signal received by the signal receiver 30a is converted to be decoded by the game server 60 (that is, the infrared signal is converted into a corresponding digital signal (motion result signal)) and outputted, and the key input unit A control unit 30d for outputting signals corresponding to various key input signals from 30b and reproducing a game program stored in the game program storage unit 30c; An audio output unit 30e such as a speaker for outputting an audio signal output from the control unit 30d to the outside; And a video output unit 30f such as a monitor that displays the video signal output from the control unit 30d on the screen.

The controller 30d codes a signal about a moving direction of the ball determined by the use of the exercise tool of the game participant and transmits the signal to the game server 60.

Next, a method of controlling a game online according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 8 and 9.

First, those who want to participate in a game online connect their control box 20 to the PC 30 by wire and insert a recording medium in which a predetermined game program is inserted into the control box 20 (not shown). ), And then accesses the web server 50 via the Internet network 40 using one of his PCs 30, 32, ..., 34 (step S10). Of course, instead of using the recording medium in which the game program is embedded, the game program may be downloaded from the game server 60 through the web server 50 and used, and one or various games in the control box 20 may be used. The program may be stored in advance.

Accordingly, the web server 50 retrieves initial menu screen data from the game server 60 and transmits the initial menu screen data to the corresponding PC 30, 32, ..., 34 through the Internet network 40 (step S12). . An initial menu screen as illustrated in FIG. 10 is displayed on the monitor of the corresponding PC 30, 32,..., 34.

The game participants look at the initial menu screen displayed on the monitor of their PC and select the type of game they are participating in (step S14).

The following process description is for the case where the game participant selects baseball in many game types.

That is, if any game participant selects baseball on the initial menu screen illustrated in FIG. 10 by using a key (or button) of a control box (eg, 20) or a PC (eg, 30), the corresponding baseball game selection is performed. The signal is transmitted to the web server 50 through the internet network 40. Thereafter, the web server 50 transmits the baseball game selection signal to the game server 60, and withdraws the subsequent selection menu screen data (i.e., team selection menu screen data) from the game server 60 to the Internet. The baseball is transmitted to the PC of the selected game participant through the network 40. Accordingly, the team selection menu screen as illustrated in FIG. 11 is displayed on the monitor of the PC of the game participant who has selected the baseball. Here, when the game participant who selects the baseball clicks the "team member information" column when selecting a team, the members of the team can be known.

When the game participant who selects the baseball selects the desired team from the team selection menu screen displayed on the monitor by using the key (or button) of the control box (eg, 20) or the PC (eg, 30). The corresponding team selection signal is transmitted to the web server 50 via the internet network 40. Thereafter, the web server 50 transmits the team selection signal to the game server 60, and subsequently selects menu screen data (i.e., defense position and batting sequence selection menu screen data) in the game server 60. ) Is transferred to the PC of the selected game participant through the Internet network (40). Accordingly, the defense position and batting sequence selection menu screen as illustrated in FIG. 12 is displayed on the monitor of the game participant's PC. Here, when the game participant who selects the baseball clicks the "search" field when selecting the defensive position and the batting sequence, the team may decide which defensive positions and batting sequence are predetermined in advance, or which defensive positions and batting sequence are not determined. You can see if it is. Of course, if you don't like it, you can change the team by clicking the "Change Team" field.

The game participant who selects the baseball can use the control box (e.g., 20) or the PC (e.g., 30) key (or button) to display his / her desired position on the defensive position and batting sequence selection menu screen displayed on the monitor. When the defense position and the batting sequence number is selected, the corresponding defensive position and batting sequence selection signal is transmitted to the web server 50 through the Internet network 40. Thereafter, the web server 50 transmits the defensive position and the batting sequence selection signal to the game server 60.

Accordingly, the game server 60 stores information about individual team names, defense positions, and batting numbers of all game participants who have selected baseball.

In this way, the game server 60 selects a team opposing each other by selecting a baseball team filled with a garden. When the opposing team is determined in this way, the initial screen as shown in FIG. 13 provided by the control box connected to the PC is displayed on the monitors of the PCs of the members of the two teams (step S16). In addition, the game server 60 transmits message data informing attack and defense to the PC through the web server 50 and the Internet network 40. Accordingly, on the monitor of the PCs of the members of the two teams determined as the opposing team, as shown in FIG. 13, the messages "blue dragon team first attack" and "backhoe team defense" disappear for a predetermined time and then disappear (step S18). .

Then, when the game starts ("Yes" in step S20), the pitcher of the backhoe team first throws the baseball (step S22). That is, when the pitcher of the backhoe team throws the baseball 11 toward the control box connected to the PC by wire, the control result signal is detected by the motion sensor 11a in the baseball 11. The controller 11b controls the signal generator 11c to generate a motion signal (infrared signal) and wirelessly transmits the signal to the corresponding control box through the output unit 11d. The control box receives the motion signal and converts the motion signal into a motion result signal (for example, a signal coded as "d0001121"), which is a signal decodable by the game server 60, and sends it to the PC. "2" of the last two digits in "d0001121" means a pitcher, "1" means a catcher. Accordingly, the motion result signal is transmitted to the web server 50 via the PC and the internet network 40.

The web server 50 sends the motion result signal to the game server 60, and the game server 60 sends the motion result signal to all PCs of the members of the blue dragon team and the backhoe team. Then, the web server 50 withdraws the screen data that the pitcher throws the baseball ball thrown from the screen data stored in the screen database 80 for each situation through the game server 60 to the catcher side through the Internet network 40 The blue dragon team and the member of the backhoe team transmits to the PC (step S24). Accordingly, the screen as shown in FIG. 14 is displayed on the monitor of the PC of the blue dragon team and the backhoe team.

Then, batter No. 1 of the blue dragon team swings the baseball bat at a time determined to be appropriate by looking at the screen displayed on the monitor of his PC, that is, the screen of the pitcher flying (step S26).

Accordingly, when the batter 1 of the blue dragon team swings the baseball bat 10 toward the control box connected to the PC by wire, the motion sensor 10a in the baseball bat 10 controls the detection result signal 10b. The controller 10b controls the signal generator 10c to generate a motion signal (infrared signal), and wirelessly transmits the signal to the corresponding control box through the output unit 10d. The control box receives the movement signal and checks the time when the baseball bat 10 is swinged based on the pitching arrival time information to the catcher preset in the game program and checks the area occupied by the pitcher in the strike area ( In step S28), it is determined whether the first batter of the blue dragon team has hit the baseball ball, or is swinging or fouling (step S30).

That is, there is already information about a strike area in the game program. As illustrated in FIG. 15, each cell generated by dividing each line vertically and uniformly about 300 equally on the basis of the vertical and horizontal blanking pulses during the full scan of all the lines on one screen of 525 lines is one cell. In this case, among the cells, some cells located at the center of the screen are called a strike area. When the batter swings the baseball bat in the range of T1 to T2 with respect to the baseball in the vertical and strike regions in the left and right directions as shown in Fig. 16, the strike is regarded as a foul. When the batter swings the baseball bat within the range of T1 to T2 with respect to the top baseball in the middle longitudinal direction in the strike area of FIG. 16, it is considered a fly hit. When the batter swings the baseball bat within the range of T1 to T2 for the second baseball from the top in the middle longitudinal direction in the strike area of Fig. 16, it is regarded as a home-run hit. When the batter swings the baseball bat in the range of T1 to T2 in the middle of the longitudinal direction in the strike area of Fig. 16, the bat is regarded as a two-base hit. When the batter swings the baseball bat within the range of T1 to T2 for the second baseball from the bottom in the middle longitudinal direction in the strike area of Fig. 16, it is regarded as a one-hitting hit. When the batter swings the baseball bat in the range of T1 to T2 in the middle of the longitudinal direction in the strike area of Fig. 16, it is regarded as an infield ball. Of course, unlike the above example, the inclination of the batting may be determined, and more cases may be provided than the above example.

On the basis of the above-described information, the control box determines whether the current batter's bet is a swing or foul ("Yes" in step S32). No ") The control box returns to step S22 described above and repeats the operation from that step.

On the other hand, if it is determined that it is out time ("Yes" in step S34), the control box determines whether it is time to replace the attack and defense, and if it is not the time to replace the airborne result ("No" in step S36) The game server 60 returns to step S22 described above and repeats the operation from that step.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the time of attack and defense replacement ("Yes" in step S36), the control box determines whether the game ends at the end of the game, for example, until the end of nine times, and the game as a result If it is not finished yet ("No" in step S38), the control box transmits a message informing the replacement of the attack and defense to the PC of the blue dragon team and the backhoe team. Accordingly, the members of the blue dragon team and the backhoe team report the airborne replacement message displayed on the monitor of their PC and change the attack and defense, and then perform the above-described step S22 and the subsequent operations.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S38 that the control box at the end of the game screen data indicating the end of the game transmits to the PC of the blue dragon team and the members of the backhoe team. Accordingly, the screen as illustrated in FIG. 18 is displayed on the monitor of the PC of the blue dragon team and the backhoe team.

Then, in step S32, if the control box determines that the batter is batting the current batter, the process proceeds to step S44 to select the batting direction and true rate. In other words, the control box of the batter is divided into three ranges (T1 to Ta, Ta to Tb, Tb to T2) within the pitch arrival time from the pitcher to the catcher as shown in FIG. If the batter bets in the range (Ta), the batting direction is considered to be inclined to the third base, and if the batter bets in the range (Ta to Tb), the batting direction is considered to be an intermediate position. If the batter bets on the range T2), the batting direction is considered to be at the first base.

Thus, if the current batter's batting direction and true rate is determined, the batter's control box codes the signal for the ball's movement direction, and the game server (PC) via the PC, the Internet network 40 and the web server 50. 60). Accordingly, the game server 60 distributes the coded signal only to the PCs of the members of the blue dragon team and the backhoe team. Then, on the PC of the members of the blue dragon team and the backhoe team, a screen on which the batter hits the ball in the batting direction is displayed (step S46).

For example, in the case of a baseball falling between the shortstop and the center field, the game server 60 is a coded signal such as "d0001158" ("5" of the last two digits in "d0001158" means a shortstop, "8 "Means center field") is transmitted to all PCs of the members of the blue dragon team and the backhoe team through the web server 50 and the Internet network 40. On the monitors of all PCs of the members of the attack team, the blue dragon team, the screen showing the above example is displayed in the same manner. However, on the monitor of the PC of the member of the backhoe team which is the defensive team, a different screen is displayed for each defensive position. That is, the situation-specific screen data for displaying the screen shown in FIG. 19 on the monitor of the center field PC among the members of the backhoe team is transmitted to the center field PC among the members of the backhoe team, and the PC of the first baseman among the members of the backhoe team is displayed. The screen data for each situation such that the screen as shown in FIG. 20 is displayed on the monitor of the backhoe team is transmitted to the PC of the first baseman among the members of the backhoe team, and the screen shown in FIG. 21 is displayed on the monitor of the PC of the third baseman among the members of the backhoe team. Contextual screen data to be displayed is transmitted to the PC at the third baseman of the backhoe team. Of course, different situational screen data is also transmitted to other defender PCs not listed above.

Accordingly, the center field of the backhoe team, which is the defensive team, defends by manipulating a key input unit of his control box or PC. In the case of the defense, there is a predetermined range for each defender may not be able to defend outside of that range, or the defender designated by the game participant without the defined range of defense may be able to go to the location where the baseball is dropped and throw have.

Then, the process returns to the above step S22 to perform the process of attack and defense again.
