TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a method and a computer program for providing a proxy enhancement service for a game item,

The present invention relates to an online game, and more particularly, to a method and a user interface for providing a proxy enrichment service in which another player intensifies an item of a game of a player.

In online games, players' personal abilities are largely determined not only by the gameplay operations, but also by items owned by flairers. Particularly, Role Playing Game (RPG), which has been popular in recent years, provides a vast amount of items, and the characteristics and kinds of items based on the creator's creativity are almost unlimited.

The game item has at least one attribute information defined in the online game, and the attribute of the game engine applied to the operation in the game is changed according to the performance or the level of the item indicated by the attribute information. The change of the game engine can be sensed.

As a result, players want to strengthen their own items, and some players who lack the ability to reinforce items may be able to proxy other players for items.

Especially, in recent years, proxy enhancement through frequent players such as famous BJ (Broadcasting Jockey) has frequently occurred, but security issues due to account sharing are becoming an issue because the account of the item owner must be shared It is true.

Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem [8] Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a surplus reinforcement service And to provide the above-mentioned objects.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for providing proxy surveillance service for a game item, the method comprising the steps of: when a game server receives a proxy surveillance request for an item from a terminal of a first player, To the terminal of the second player; Controlling the second player to delegate the ownership of the item to the second player upon receiving the approval for the proxy enforcement request from the terminal of the second player; Monitoring whether the second player succeeds in proxy surge of the item; When the second player completes the play for substitution strengthening of the item, sending a notification to the terminal of the first player indicating that the proxy enhancement is successful and returning ownership of the item to the first player ; And paying the second player for compensation for play for proxy enforcement.

The compensation payment step may include paying the second player for compensation for proxy enforcement enforcement and for enforcing proxy enforcement if the proxy enforcement of the second player is successful; And paying the second player for compensation for proxy enforcement when the proxy enforcement of the second player fails.

The compensation payment step may further include determining a magnitude of compensation according to the number of worshipers of the second player.

The method for providing proxy surrogate service of a game item may further include providing an enhanced item to the first player when proxy surrogation of the second player is successful, And providing information to the first player to guide the player to re-play the game.

The game client may receive the ranking information on the enhancement of the item from the game server and transmit the proxy enhancement request UI including the received ranking information to the first player To the terminal of the terminal; When the first player requests the second player to strengthen the proxy of the item through the proxy enhancement request UI, the proxy server transmits the proxy enhancement request including the identification information of the first player, the identification information of the item, To the terminal of the second player through the second terminal; And displaying the information on the terminal of the first player upon receiving information on whether or not the proxy reinforcement request of the second player is accepted from the game server and whether the proxy enhancement is successful.

The proxy enforcement request UI may include input means for receiving a message for requesting proxy enforcement and a reward to be paid for proxy enforcement, in order to select a player to request proxy enforcement of the item.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide proxy surplus service of an item in which surrogate intensification is performed without account sharing using a change in ownership between two players when surrogate of an online game item is enhanced, and a reward system is established according to the proxy surrogate.

Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to send a proxy enrichment request to a player having a high strengthening ranking, thereby increasing the probability of success of strengthening the item.

In addition, according to the present invention, various episodes may occur on an online game, such as a player having a high probability of success when a player tries to strengthen an item of the other player but fails to strengthen his or her item, .

The term " means ", "part "," module ", etc. in the specification means units for processing at least one function or operation, Lt; / RTI >

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and similar parts are denoted by like reference characters throughout the specification.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a network configuration of a surrogate-enhanced service providing system for a game item according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a terminal 10 of a first player who is an owner of a game item and who requests proxy enhancement to another player, and a terminal 11 of a second player who is delegated proxy enhancement of the item from the first player And accesses the game server 20 supporting the game service via the network.

The game server 20 includes a game content providing server for providing contents related to various games to be used in online games, a customer management server for managing information of players receiving the game contents, And an item proxy server that provides an agent proxy service for an item used by the players in cooperation with the proxy server, and may be physically implemented by one or a plurality of computing devices. Since the present invention relates to proxy surrogate service of a game item, description will be made mainly on proxy surrogacy of items among various roles of the game server 20 as described above.

The online game provided by the game server 10 includes a game engine implemented in the form of a program for outputting a physical movement corresponding to a player's operation. In order to implement various characteristics of item contents provided by the game contents providing server through the game engine in an online game, each item content is applied as a variable of the game engine and has a plurality of attribute parameters classified into different kinds have. Some of the item content used in the online game can be enhanced, which can be implemented by changing attributes or adding attributes.

Strengthening items is the act of raising the performance of weapon-like items in online games. For example, in an online game, if a one-handed sword item with a basic attack strength of 10 is reinforced, the attack power of +1 will be added to the weapon with a total of 11 attack powers. At this time, the enhanced one-handed sword is displayed in the same way as 'one-handed sword +1'. If the item to be strengthened is an armor, the armor is added and displayed with the same name as 'armor +1'. As another example, you can upgrade or add basic abilities such as Accuracy, Damage, Recoil, and Speaker by strengthening your gun items.

In addition to improving the basic abilities of an item, raising an item's rating can also be considered an enhancement. For example, if an item is successfully strengthened in the item system of the online game divided into general, magic, rare, hero, and legendary grades, the item may be set to have a higher rating .

The player terminals 10 and 11 are computing devices that serve as game clients for installing and executing game client software and supporting the player to enjoy the game.

The game server 20 provides the client software for executing the online game to the player terminals 10 and 11 and collects the online game status information of the players so that the concurrently accessed game client can proceed the online game Share with players in real time.

The game server 20 provides a user interface (UI) for proxy surrogacy of game items to the player terminals 10 and 11 through game client software, And provides proxy surrender services in cooperation with the terminal 11 of the player who accepts and enforces proxy surrender requests.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a game item proxy enrichment service in a game server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step S21, when the game server 20 receives the proxy enforcement request from the first player, it transmits a proxy enforcement request to the second player, which is the requesting person.

In step S22, if the second player accepts the proxy enforcement request, control is made so that the ownership of the item is delegated to the second player. Delegation of ownership is such that although the first player still owns the ownership of the item, only the second player has the authority to temporarily strengthen the item. To do this, you can add and manage information about the proxy enforcer as an attribute of the item. Accordingly, the surrogate reinforcement player can perform the play for strengthening the item without logging in with the item owner's ID.

In step S23, approval of the proxy proxy enhancement request is approved, and the play of the second player delegated ownership of the item is monitored to manage whether or not the corresponding item is enhanced.

In step S24, when proxy enforcement is completed by playing the second player who performs proxy enforcement, a notification message indicating whether proxy enforcement has succeeded or failed is generated and transmitted to the first player. Informs the result, releases the delegation of ownership of the item, and returns the ownership of the item to the first player to be completely attributed to the first player. At this time, it is possible to process the return of ownership of the item by resetting the proxy enforcement information among the attributes of the item.

In step S25, the second player is compensated for proxy surrender. The contents of compensation for substitution strengthening can be set in advance in the online game, or can be determined by the substitute reinforcement requestor. The contents of the item to be strengthened by substitution, contents of reinforcement, the level of the player who performs reinforcement, Can be determined. In addition, the compensation based on the surrogate reinforcement may include a compensation paid by the game system and / or a compensation paid by the proxy enforcement requestor.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining interworking between a player requesting proxy enforcement and a player performing proxy enforcement according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The game server 20 mediates proxy surrender service in accordance with the input from the two players, that is, the reinforcement requestor A and the reinforcement approver B through the user interface of the game client.

When the reinforcement requestor A possessing the ownership of the item asks for proxy enforcement (S31), the game server 20 transmits a proxy enforcement request to the opponent player.

If the opponent player accepts the proxy enforcement request (S32), the game server changes the attribute of the item and delegates ownership to the enforcement approver (B). While the item ownership is in charge of the proxy, the strengthening approver B can play for reinforcement of the item with the user's own ID (S33).

When the proxy enforcement attempt is completed, the reward for the reinforcement approver (B) proceeds, and the reward can be paid according to predetermined rules such as payment of the game goods, level rise, and the like. In addition, if the proxy is strengthened successfully or if the proxy is not strengthened, other compensation may be granted.

If the proxy enforcement attempt is terminated, the owner of the item is again passed to the enforcement requester (A) completely and the enforcement is terminated, so that the enforcement approver (B) can no longer use or enhance the item.

If the game server 20 detects the success of the reinforcement agent B in step S34, the reinforcement approver B is compensated for the reinforcement success in step S38 in addition to the compensation for the proxy reinforcement itself. And returns the reinforced item to the reinforcement requester (A) (S36).

When the game server 20 detects the proxy enforcement failure of the enforcement approver B in step S35, only the compensation for enforcement enforcement enforcement is paid to the enforcement approver B in step S39, And provides a user interface including a message to guide whether to replay (S37). The enforcement requester A may select another enforcement enforcement requesting party again through the user interface and send a proxy enforcement request.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a game item proxy enrichment service in a game client according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 5 illustrates a user interface for requesting proxy enforcement, and FIG. And the result of the enhancement is notified.

If the first player wishes to strengthen the proxy of the item during game play, he can select a menu for viewing ranking information showing which players are good at item enhancement.

In step S41, ranking information on item enhancement is received from the game server 10 in response to the menu selection.

In step S42, a user interface for the proxy enforcement request is generated using the ranking information received in step S42, and the user interface is displayed on the terminal 10 of the first player.

The proxy enforcement request UI may include an input means for inputting a message to be sent to the opponent player when requesting proxy selection and proxy enforcement for requesting proxy enforcement of the item, And may further comprise means for input.

In the example of FIG. 5, the ranking information is classified into general strengthening ranking and proxy strengthening ranking. The general strengthening ranking information shows the ranking of the normal item enhancement, and the proxy enhancement ranking information shows the ranking of the play to strengthen the other player's item.

The first player may select the opponent player to request proxy enforcement via the user interface 51, 52 including the enhanced ranking information, and may send a proxy enforcement request for the item. The proxy enforcement request will be transmitted to the opponent player through the game server 20 (S43).

The proxy enrichment request may include the identification information of the opponent player and the identification information of the item, and may include a request to indicate how to strengthen the item or a comment to the opponent player requesting proxy enhancement.

Referring to FIG. 5, the first player selects' MUAI 'player, which is the second player in the proxy strengthening ranking, and' I would like to worship every day. Please input the comment "and then select" Send "to request 'Moo Ae' to strengthen the proxy of the item.

In one embodiment, the amount of compensation may be determined according to the number of worshipers of the second player who performed proxy enforcement when paying for proxy enforcement. In general, the cult of another player has a positive effect on receiving other benefits as well as the rewards of the player who has performed the proxy enforcement, so the players are forced to use the other player's proxy to manage the number of worshipers, You will accept the request.

The game server 20 notifies the proxy enforcement request through the game client running on the terminal of the opponent player 'Moo-a' of the proxy enforcement request, and a user interface capable of accepting the proxy enforcement request will be provided to the second player. If the second player 'Moua' selects to accept the proxy enforcement request, the game server 20 will send a message to the first player stating that the proxy enforcement request has been accepted.

In step S44, a message indicating the acceptance of the proxy enforcement request from the game server 20 or information indicating the success or failure of proxy enforcement is generated and provided to the first player. Promote awareness in real time.

Referring to FIG. 6, through the notification message 61 displayed on the game screen running on the terminal of the first player, 'MUAE', the proxy enforcement approver, , And that the requestor for strengthening the proxy has received the strengthened item "Asmodian Sword + Six Rivers".

The method according to an embodiment of the present invention can be implemented in the form of a program command which can be executed through various computer means and recorded in a computer-readable medium. The computer-readable medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, and the like, alone or in combination. The program instructions recorded on the medium may be those specially designed and constructed for the present invention or may be available to those skilled in the art of computer software. Examples of computer-readable media include magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks and magnetic tape; optical media such as CD-ROMs and DVDs; magnetic media such as floppy disks; Magneto-optical media, and hardware devices specifically configured to store and execute program instructions such as ROM, RAM, flash memory, and the like.
