The present invention relates to an improved online game bonus channel design method, and more particularly, to a bonus channel design method for realizing both the fun of the game and the advertising effect.

Online games tend to be adapted by the trend of broadband networks. There are hundreds of online games on the market. As shown in FIG. 1, game company 2 uses " trade account points 111 for products 23 " to attract players 1 using game interface 22. FIG. It introduces the concept of. Such account points are also commonly referred to as game points (obtained by purchasing game cards), experience points (obtained during the game) and virtual money (obtained during the game). However, in the case of the players 1 whose goods 23 which are preferred by the players 1 usually tend to require more points, and which have less leisure time and the most play skills for the game, It is practically impossible to accumulate points 111 while playing the game. Accordingly, as described above, players who are poor at playing skills for games are not eager to play such complex games or the like.

Also, some players 1 own one or more accounts. In this way, one player can own two accounts 11 and 12, and thus can transfer all the points 121 in their account 12 to the other account 11. Thus, the transfer of account points between such accounts is unfair.

In view of these problems, the method of attracting players to play online games with a play game interface has become an important issue instead of leaving players to simply play the game after accumulation of points.

It is a first object of the present invention to provide a design method for an improved online game bonus channel that establishes a game mode of small bets for large games. Thus, players have the opportunity to obtain higher rewards at the lowest cost. This is the main means to attract players.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a design method for an improved online game bonus channel that establishes a quick and convenient game interface so that a player does not have to spend too much time collecting points while playing a game. .

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a design method for an improved online game bonus channel that establishes a joint operation mode between different businesses in order to expand the effect of advertising that increases investment in the bonus channel.

In order to achieve the above objects, the present invention builds a bonus channel entrance based on the original game interface that separates the conventional game mode from the published bonus channel mode. We have simultaneously improved the login platform to include detection to protect players from using external programs and to verify their identity by verifying their identity. The present invention provides a ticket design to limit the time a player can enter. It is impossible to accumulate the tickets. This allows the player to have multiple accounts, as in a typical online game, to avoid situations such as passing and accumulating points in each account, thus making the game even more fair. The present invention employs a bonus bonus mechanism that uses a random number of manipulations to evaluate the rewards a player can earn, thus achieving game play of small bets for large games. Players will be able to gain a lot of money without paying more. The reward can be real prizes, game points, coupons, or any other form of prize. The present invention may also provide a retrieval mechanism for the player to obtain rewards from the bonus channel. The reward is sent to a game company or sponsor company. The present invention provides a display column for displaying advertisements of a reward player and sponsors or a game company obtained in a bonus channel. By working with different businesses, you can expand your advertising efforts to attract more investment.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment and will be more readily understood by reference to the following detailed description.

2 shows a detailed design method for the improved online game bonus channel 3. According to the invention, the bonus channel 3 mechanism is built on the game interface 22 of a typical online game. The medium for the bonus channel 3 is the so-called bonus channel inlet 31. In view of the problem that a typical online game has only a login platform 21, but there is no arbitrary management mechanism, the present invention allows the game company 2 to manage the login platform 21 independently. The functions of the login platform 21 are changed to efficiently detect whether or not the player 1 uses an external program and verify the player's identity, thereby ensuring safety during the game and stability during system operation. Player 1 plays the game at the same starting point as other players. Players' own records are not affected by any external factors. Accordingly, the login platform 21 also ensures fairness. The installation of the bonus channel entrance 31 increases the universality for all games. First, the preparation of individual entrances to the game can always avoid the inconvenience of changing programs. Secondly, the bonus channel inlet 31 is not affected by the normal mode of operation. The bonus channel 3 is based on the conventional game interface 22. In the typical mode shown in Fig. 2, the player 1 uses the following mechanism to enter the same account 11 and the same game to enter the bonus channel 3, which enjoys different game play than that shown in Fig. 1; Interface 22 is used.

The present invention provides an admission ticket 321 through a change in file access privileges to execute a particular program (i.e., the bonus channel 3 of the present invention). For the player's point, it appears that they actually own the entrance ticket. Admission ticket 321 pays the player's account point 111. In order to satisfy the "small bets for large games" design, the price of admission ticket 321 is usually set not too high. When the player 1 chooses to enter the bonus channel mode, he or she purchases the item under the normal mode. The account 11 is not affected much except that some trading account points 111 are lost. However, the admission ticket 321 for the bonus channel 3 provides the player (with the opportunity to obtain good rewards 41 at low cost, including real prizes, game points, coupons, or other forms of prizes). Provide to 1). This is the main feature for attracting the player 1. It is impossible to accumulate admission tickets 321. That is, things such as play time and duration of each admission ticket 321 are fixed and independent. Each ticket 321 has a time and restrictions on its use. This can prevent the player 1 from owning multiple accounts and passing or accumulating points or tools of each account as in the normal mode. Due to the time limit and "cumulative nature" of the disclosed ticket 321, it is perfectly fined for another ticket 322 of the same player 1 because it is purchased by the player 1. Of course, the player 1 has more chances of gain compensation. Admission tickets 321 and other admission tickets 322 are sold through the game interface 22. Game company 2 has the following design: (1) two or more tickets are different time tickets if the buyer is the same player; (2) If a battle is selected by the player 1 after entering using the admission ticket 321, the game interface 22 can be designed to automatically select a pair of opponents. Thus, the game only cares about admission tickets, but the players are too quick to notice in the same way as the lottery. This design ensures fairness for the player 1 because basically there is a player 1 who decides to buy more or fewer tickets for more or less opportunities.

The present invention employs a bonus mechanism 33 that is a random number of manipulation mechanisms 34. The main function of the bonus mechanism 33 is to perform a simple random number of processes to produce random unpredictable effects. Using the aforementioned bonus channel 3, it is determined whether or not the player 1 can obtain a particular reward 41. The reward 41 is provided by the sponsor company 4 or the game company 2. Since the reward 41 is randomly represented under the control of the bonus mechanism 33, the player 1 may not know which prize each time he will receive. The player himself may not only get random rewards through the game, but also eventually gain a lot of benefits. The reward 41 can be changed according to the new project of the game company 2 and the sponsor company 4. Thus, each ticket 321 is a new play and opportunity for player 1. The above ideas and uncertainties bring more play to the player 1.

Finally, the message field 35 provides an indication reminding the player 1 to collect at the end of each game the reward 41 that the player 1 obtains. The message field 35 includes an image of the reward 41 and relative information of the sponsor company 4 or the game company 2 (trademark logo, text description, sponsor contact information, sale) sale, etc.] may be further displayed. Originally, a high reward 41 is provided by the sponsor company 4 and the game company 2 which are used as incentives for the player 1. Finally, greater advertising effect is achieved. Thus, there is also the advantage of cooperation between different businesses. The reward search is accomplished using a search mechanism 36. The search mechanism 36 may be provided by the game company 2, or the sponsor company 4 may send its reward 41 directly to the player 1. This is also a joint mode between different businesses. It is possible to increase the attraction rate for the bonus channel 3 in order to induce more players 1 to participate by repeated use of the aforementioned means.

While the invention has been described in accordance with particular embodiments, it is not intended to be limited to these embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. It will be appreciated that variations and modifications are possible. All such changes and modifications may be limited only within the scope of the spirit of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

As described above, according to the design method for the improved online game bonus channel of the present invention, players have an opportunity to obtain higher rewards at the lowest cost, and at the same time spend too much time collecting points while the player enjoys the game. A fast and convenient game interface can be realized without the need for consumption. In addition, according to the design method for the improved online game bonus channel of the present invention, it is possible to realize the establishment of a joint operation mode between different businesses in order to expand the effect of advertising that increases investment in the bonus channel.
