Description

Analysis of internet game usage time and selective access control system and method thereof {SYSEM AND ITS METHOD FOR INTERNET GAME USAGE ANALYSIS AND ACCESS OPTIONAL CONTROL}

The present invention can be read by a computer recording a program for realizing a connection blocking system and a method for realizing the method when a certain time is exceeded through analysis of a use time of a specific site such as an internet game, chatting, or gambling according to the present invention. The recording medium in question.

Currently, more than 11 million households in Korea use high-speed Internet lines such as ADSL, and most families with children should use the Internet freely. In particular, teenagers are more unprotected in an environment where they can easily be addicted to Internet addiction because they can easily access Internet games, gambling, chatting, and pornography. In addition, among the most addictive of the game is the game, the game addiction is distorted the daily life of the youth, neglected academics, as well as causing various negative social problems. And since most parents are less able to use PCs than their children, it is very difficult to find out if their children are visiting and addicting to such addictive sites, and to guide them to improve them.

For this reason, the technology of restricting the Internet usage time is introduced through the technology of controlling the Internet usage time by installing a program on the PC itself or blocking the use of the Internet by interlocking a PC with a mobile phone. However, services that selectively block access to a specific site group at a network level after a certain time of using a certain site group such as games, gambling, chatting, and pornography have not been widely used. First, a system that provides a time limit service for internet use by installing a program on a PC will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

First of all, the first widely used method is to install the program 14 on the user's PC 11, collect the user's Internet use time, and after a certain period of time can be considered to block the Internet, but to monitor the PC If you need to install the program, and reinstall the OS, or who can handle the PC well, you can remove the monitoring program is not very useful.

Secondly, the program 14 installed on the user PC 11 transmits a text message 16 regarding whether to permit the use of the Internet to the parent's mobile phone 15, and, if there is a parental approval 17, the Internet. In case of allowing and rejecting the connection (17), the method is to block the Internet connection (18). However, this method is also not useful because the program must be installed on each PC and the parent must make a decision to approve or reject each time.

Until now, the above-described method has a structural difficulty in installing a program on a user's PC and analyzing and providing the current Internet use time in the program, and it is difficult to satisfy parental needs.

The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and does not need to install an agent on the user's PC and does not require any additional work on the server side providing services, such as gaming, chatting, gambling, etc. at the network level. A computer-readable record of a system and method for selectively controlling access to the site group only for timeouts through analysis of usage time in the same type of Internet site group, and a program for realizing the method. The purpose is to provide the medium.

The present invention for achieving the above object, In the Internet game usage time analysis and selective access control system, means for duplicating a network packet of a user; Means for extracting information on a user's Internet usage time; Means for extracting Internet access site information of adolescents; Means for analyzing the extracted usage time and access site information; Means for extracting an excess user by comparing the analyzed service time and access site with a service server address list of preset time limits and restricted sites; Means for transmitting the extracted timed user information to the access blocking server; Means for registering information about the excess user received; Restrict access to excess users, including means to block network access to sites.

In addition, the present invention, Internet game time analysis and selective access control system, the first step of duplicating the network packet from the user's PC; A second step of analyzing whether or not the user is allowed to access the service server by analyzing the duplicated network packet; And a third step of blocking users who are not allowed to access the service server.

On the other hand, the present invention, a first function for determining whether to allow the user access to the service server by analyzing the duplicated network packet; A computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing a second function for blocking a user who is not allowed to access a service server.

The present invention devised three system diagrams for achieving the above object. The above objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the Internet game usage time analysis and selective access control system according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the Internet game use time analysis and selective access control system according to the present invention, a network packet in the process of being transmitted from the user PC 11 to the service server 13 passes through the access gateway 12. In the process of accessing the Internet, the packet is duplicated through the packet copying machine 21, and then simultaneously transmitted to the analysis & access blocking server 22 and the service server 13. The analysis & access blocking server 22 receiving the duplicated network packet determines the unique user, checks the rules related to the user, and compares it with a predefined limit value to determine whether to allow access to the service server 22. . In the case of connection allowance, the processing is terminated at that point, and the connection is blocked if a result of connection failure occurs. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the access blocking method transmits the connection termination packet 23 to the user PC 21 and blocks the network connection by transmitting the connection termination packet 24 to the service server 13.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an internal operation of the analysis & access blocking server 22 as a detailed flowchart of an Internet game using time analysis and selective access control system according to an embodiment of the present invention. First, network packets are collected (222). In this case, by collecting and extracting an ID for determining a unique user for each user (223), it calculates the usage time for each user and for a specific site group, and compares it with a predefined time limit, when the destination IP address and In comparison, if it is confirmed that the target site is restricted (225), network access between the Internet user PC 11 and the corresponding service server 13 is blocked (226). If the timeout has not elapsed or if the destination IP address does not belong to the restricted site group, the operation is terminated as it is (227).

FIG. 4 operates in the same manner as shown in FIG. 2, but only when the analysis server and the access blocking server operate separately. The difference in the system configuration of FIG. 2 is that the analysis server 22-1 extracts the restricted subjects due to overuse and instructs the access gateway 12 to control the extracted excess subjects. Only the connection packet of the exceeded target is sent to the connection blocking server 22-2 through the packet copying machine 21-2, and the connection blocking server 22-2 sends the connection termination packets 23 and 24 to the connection of the restricted site group. ) Is transmitted to the user PC 11 and the service server 13 to block access to the network.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of how an analysis server and an access blocking server operate internally in the system configuration shown in FIG.

6 is a block diagram illustrating an exemplary Internet game playing time analysis and selective access control system according to the present invention. The analysis & access blocking server 22 receives a packet directly through an access gateway 12 without a packet copying machine. It is shown to operate in the same manner as illustrated in FIG. However, at this time, the access blocking function among the functions of the analysis & access blocking server 22 may be used by applying some previously developed functions such as a firewall, a router, and a proxy server.

As described above, the method of the present invention may be implemented as a program and stored in a computer-readable recording medium (CD-ROM, RAM, ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, magneto-optical disk, etc.). Since this process can be easily carried out by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs will not be described in more detail.

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Not limited by the drawings.

As described above, the present invention can prevent the Internet addiction of teenagers by forcibly blocking the access at the network level when using the internet game time that the parent and the child have negotiated for accessing the addictive site such as the teenager's game. This will reduce friction and conflict caused by games between parents and children, enable dialogue between parents and children at home, and help young people recognize and use the Internet as a sea of information, not just for entertainment. In addition, it can prevent much of the damage caused by Internet addiction, which is a big social problem, and it will help a lot to contribute to the mental and physical health of adolescents, which leads to mental devastation, physical problems and even death.
