Description

How to e-commerce via internet games {omitted}

The present invention is an independent commerce method based on internet games.

Here, advertising is carried out permanently and centrally, not on a temporary and incidental basis. In other words, advertising is an end in itself and exists as an important stage in the game.

The internet advertising method using a conventional game is divided into two.

The first is the game method with a focus on prizes. In order to promote a special event when there is a special event, in order to achieve a specific marketing purpose, some prizes are issued and incidentally, an advertising event is triggered.

Second is the professional network game system. In this case, the network game itself is the main purpose. The game takes a lot of time and you must have long skilled skills to win the game. In this case, the advertisement is a method of displaying an advertisement of a company hosting the game, an advertisement of a sponsor, or an advertisement fee from a separate advertiser.

However, in the case of the present invention is a big difference from the existing method.

First, there is a big difference in the qualification of the subject of advertising. Through a simple process, anyone can easily access all kinds of money and money they have as an advertising cost to get as much effect as they want, and also provide a step to select a counterpart of the transaction to make a deal.

It provides an opportunity for random access to anyone, specific or unspecified.

Second is independent commerce through games.

It is a new method of commerce that combines competitive, interesting and economic factors.

Third, it is a commerce method that can realize the function of a comprehensive market because it consists of a system that allows the type and quantity of money and items to be handled and the value of its value to be determined by the voluntary will of participants.

It is a commerce method that can play the role of the existing advertising market and the goods market by dealing with any economic value of those who wish to provide, not limited to a few products.

In other words, the present invention has a very high incentive in that it operates as a portal site covering all economic goods or services and provides a wide range of opportunities to obtain all socially valuable goods at a free or low price. In terms of the type and number of products to be obtained, it is very comprehensive and broad, and in terms of opportunities, participants can participate as many times as they want to increase the participation rate by raising the expectation of winning prizes. Let's do it.

Fourth, there is a difference in the way in which advertisements are displayed. That is, in the conventional case, in the closeness of the game and the advertisement, the advertisement was displayed in an irregular pattern before and after the game by an irregular event. However, in the present invention, a game in which the game and the advertisement are combined is made. In other words, the participant who participates in the game has the expectation that he will be exposed to the advertisement from the time he participates in the game for the purpose of certain payments.

The effect of advertisement is very high in that it generates a combination of a game and an advertisement by a computer program event or various events of various multimedia contents provided by a www standard document.

In addition, in the case of a conventional computer game, an important factor for determining the game's game is often placed in the knowledge of the high level of function of the computer game or the skill of the technique. The element is an algorithm that makes it easy for a player to choose a socially known game, such as rock-paper-scissors, toast, etc., so that the participant chooses one of them, and sends the value to the server to compare the value on the server to divide the game. Because it is a logical operation or comparison assigned to a probability equally given to the player, it is possible to increase the public's participation in that the game proceeds in a way that anyone can easily win. It is also possible to play a game based on a random accidental cause rather than a fair probability allocation.

The present invention is to provide a highly attractive electronic commerce interface through the Internet, it is an Internet game advertising method integrated with the game.

The implementation of events on computer programs, communication network functions and game algorithms is required.

In addition, the provision of a game interface through e-mail, electronic payment for legal guarantees, and the provision of an interface for the game participants through the wireless Internet should be additionally implemented.

Looking at the main means to be used in the present invention,

The first is to give the money giver a means to post money, post advertisements and make the basic composition of the game (Fig. 2).

The second is to provide a search tool that allows the person who wants to participate in the game to know if there is a game linked to the desired money or equipment (Figure 3).

Third, the application of those who wish to participate in the game in hopes of obtaining a certain amount of money is made into a db to form a game for a specific value of money and the game consists of several round games. It is necessary to configure the stage so that it continues to be composed until finally drawing the number of people who will win the prize of the game (Fig. 3).

This step also includes notifying the participants of each round of the schedule and allowing them to retrieve the overall progress of the current game.

Fourth, a network program-based game step that allows players to participate in individual round games belonging to a specific game is essential (Figure 4).

Means for this game can be implemented by using contents or document events provided by WWW standard documents such as HTML, WML, XML, or through a separate communication application.

Fifthly, what is needed is a network in which the individual elements (money providers, competition participants) present on the overall system of the present invention maintain the interface. Mainly network connection by general Internet but maintenance of network by wireless Internet user and IMT-2000 network is also necessary.

Sixth, the establishment of a payment system or a means of guarantee separately for the security of implementation to ensure that the commerce of the result of the game is ensured is an additional operational technical task. (509)

Seventh, the game algorithm is implemented to determine the winning of each round game, providing a means to play the game in a web document or computer program application method, and multimedia content events representing advertisements in the game are also important factors.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

(1) First embodiment

The first embodiment is an embodiment of the invention for the purpose of advertising.

Fig. 1 is a system configuration diagram of a server, a client, a wireless internet, and a dedicated line internet as an electronic commerce system through the Internet of this embodiment. First of all, a person who intends to promote advertising effect on the value instead of providing a certain money for free or at a low price, that is, the money provider 120,121,122 is provided through the network 104 for the money provider on the server side 105 ). This means the personal information of the giver (name, ID, password, phone number, address, e-mail address, public number) (202), the information on the item (203) (payment name, payment model name, belonging to the money). Product category, string authority field to search for money, multimedia content (binary file such as text, video, image, web document, etc.) to be advertised through the money, basic condition of the competition to be configured to obtain the money It is a means for inputting information 205 (minimum number of people, purpose, number of winners, game type, game progression, game time limit, etc.) to the server 107.

In this case, a step of storing information for additionally preparing a means 207 for ensuring the certainty of the transaction, such as depositing a deposit, may be made.

In this way, the information transmitted to the server is stored in the game information DB (108, 506) through its own verification process and waits until the match for the money is started. Information on the money and the composition of the individual money providers are stored in the DB 108 to be searched by the game participants (116, 117, 118, 114). At this time, it may participate through a wireless network. The terminal is a cellular phone, IMT-2000 terminal, wireless network personal portable terminal (PDA). Both wireless terminals, such as Brutus's Internet terminals, are available.

A person who wants a specific money-making device first accesses the payment-inquiry step 109, 302 of the server through the network 115. This step consists of keyword and category methods. For example, if a user who wants a watch enters 'watch' or 'watch' in the keyword field to search for 'watch' items registered on the server, the string is sent to the server's DB for searching. In the means 504, the game record progress database connected to the money provider database is searched for whether the money is present and the result is displayed. In this case, the contents of the game are displayed as well as the related items such as the name of the item, model name and description of the item, as well as the minimum number of people required to hold the game linked to the item, the type of game in the game and the type of game. can do.

When searching for goods by product category, 'watch' is found in the stage of product classification with socio-economic meaning. In other words, the home appliance-> watch-> watch is searched for the category level such as watch, and the search result displays the contents of the money and the game as the keyword method.

If there is a desired game associated with the desired prize money (305), the participant will apply for the game (306) (Fig. 4).

The competition participant sends the participation application to the server (107) (306). At this time, the information on the participants in the application form sent to the server is information for identifying the individual participants and notifying the game progress information as shown in the field configuration of the game participants database table of FIG. 9. Word, Address, E-mail Address, Resident Registration Number, Date, Time, Phone Number, Wireless Phone Number) Here, the identification of the participant identification (9001) ID and password (9003) is intended to confirm the integrity of the game participants. In order to allow game participants to select the game directly through the web document on the e-mail by sending a direct WWW standard document such as HTML that notifies various information of the game or provides game means by e-mail. need. This is stored in the game participant DB 508. In addition, an email address is required to grant a transaction-specific authentication key.

Here, the mobile phone number of the game participants is required so that the game can be progressed through the wireless Internet so that the mobile phone can be contacted by SMS.

If a player is currently recruiting participants for the game (404), he or she may apply for the game, and if it is not the game being recruited (420), he / she becomes the first applicant for the first new game (421).

When the minimum number of people required to hold a game is applied for participation (408), round game matchups are formed according to the number of participants in the game (410).

The round game will continue to be played until the winner of the match (414) (410). Each individual round game will be played on a computer- and participant-by-player basis. This will be done by selecting a number, which allows the giver to choose from among the game methods provided by the server. The round game continues until the final winner is selected. The round game starts with the participant connecting to the game means. Access to the game means may be a method of accessing a web document of a server site through the Internet, receiving a web document via e-mail, or downloading and accessing a communication application using a TCP / IP protocol.

In either case, the game participant is provided with a means of selecting his own random value for the game. For example, if the 'scissors' icon is selected among the rock-paper-scissors icons on the web document, the value connected to this scissor icon, for example,' B ', is sent to the server along with the game participants' information (ID, PASSWORD).

The transmission method may use the HTTP protocol such as the GET method or the POST method, and an application using the FTP and TCP / IP protocols may also be used.

If the game is a way to play against the computer, the computer also uses the RANDOM method to select one of A, B, and C to perform a comparison operation on the server, and transmit the value. In this case, if A is randomly generated on the server and A> B, B> C and C> A are prerequisites for the comparison operation, the value B of the participant who sent 'scissors' and A generated randomly by the computer Competitive action results in the loss of the contestants during the match-up phase and the participant will be dropped from the match.

If it is not a match with the computer, but a match between the participants, the other opponent will also select one of the scissors, rocks, and beams and send it, and the value will be compared and calculated according to the game victory conditions. The loser who advances to the round game will be eliminated from the match.

The key here is the deadline for sending the results of this round game. In other words, it is very important that both parties are limited to sending their chosen game value to the server. If the value has not been transmitted by the designated time (604), the opponent of the opposite side naturally wins (611) and advances to the new round game (609).

The result of the round game as the individual round game is played is stored in the game progress record database, and a new roundup is formed for each round of entrants (610). In addition, when the final winner of the game is finally determined as a result of the round game (414), the game ends. The result is stored in the server side db (108, 507). The game record progress db (507) is configured to store the contents of the progress of the game or the result of the game.

An example of the field configuration of the table of the game progress record database is shown in FIG.

Match identification, Total number of participants, Match type, Game progress method, Last round game identification, Last round end time, Last round game stage, Game participant identification, Current round game identification, Current round game deadline, Current round game stage, Consists of a field for end-of-game identification.

The criterion that constitutes one record in the table of the competition record database is as many as the number of people participating in the round game. In other words, one of the round games belonging to the game to get the clock money is a rock-paper-scissors game of 1: 1, and if a person named Gap wins a person named Gul, the game record to obtain the watch is the match (identification code 930934904). ) In the round game (identification code C930934904-003) as a person named 'Gap' and saved as a 'win' value, and a separate one is created for the person named 'Ul' and viewed in the match (identification code 930934904) In the round game (identification code C930934904-003) it is stored as a 'defeat' value.

Both the game identification code and the round game identification code are unique and unique. Through this, the game progression or operation is dynamically generated and managed and statistical values are extracted.

In other words, by designating a game stage based on a game identification code (for example, 'second stage'), the number of participants who advance to the third round of the game to obtain the 'Casio Watch' can be obtained, and the number is dynamically composed. Reconstruction through the means for creating a new three-round draw.

This competition record database is not only the standard for the formation of the match, but also the basic data for recording the game results or the progress of the game and informing the participants of the necessary information.

One of the most important elements of the present invention is the step of presenting an advertisement in a game.

From the beginning of the game (401) to the end (430), it is possible to display the content of the WWW standard anywhere, whether by scripting, server-side programmatic, or HTML. It can also be implemented in communication applications that use the TCP / IP protocol.

Advertising method of the present invention is to be generated between the round game begins (411) until the end of the round game (413).

The first method of generating advertisements is to generate a separate pop-up window and place multimedia content in a pop-up window in the form of a multimedia content that the money provider wishes to advertise.

The second method is to place the multimedia contents in a formal format that the money provider wishes to advertise on the web document or application, which is a means of playing the game.

At this time, the advertisement contents include not only the contents that the money provider wants to advertise but also the commercial advertisement of the server operating the server. Such commercial advertising can be a profit base for business.

The final winner of the match is the legal status of obtaining the prize. The degree of status may be considered in various ways, which may be regarded as having the authority to approve the offer of the giver, or may be regarded as the acceptance of the offer of the giver. Under the terms of this agreement, the legal status between the parties can be established by agreement between the gift giver and the contestants.

The payment for the money can also be made free or free. The transaction method of the present invention is used to select a party to be traded among a plurality of applicants for favorable transaction conditions in case of payment.

It is also possible to provide at the stage of the invention a number of means to ensure the performance of the implementation, in addition to the statutory rights obligations, for example. It is also conceivable to build a legal act db (509) for the performance of collateral security in order to build a system for participation and payment to the winner. In this case, it is a matter of operation that the money provider who fulfills the contract can receive the deposit and leave the deposit to continue to use it as a security for the performance of the game of the present invention. In addition, it may provide a means for expressing the willingness to act in a manner related to the electronic payment and the memorandum of fulfillment, fax transmission and receipt of the authentication key.
