Replaying graphically is similar to the other embodiments described above.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for relaying a sports event according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, in step S401, the service server 130 receives the user's preferred team from the connected user terminal 140 and the notification condition that the team wants to be notified during the game, and Save to 270. Preferably, the service server 130 may receive a notification condition selection from the user when the user subscribes to a member, or may receive a notification condition selection from a setting menu or a modification input when the login is completed.

In step S402, the service server 130 receives game information from the game information transmission system 120 in real time. In step S403, the service server 130 compares the user's preferred team and the notification condition stored in step S401 with the game information received in step S402, and matches the notification condition set by the user in the user's preferred team. Determine whether the corresponding event occurs. In step S404, when an event corresponding to a notification condition set by the user occurs, the service server 130 transmits a notification message including the contents of the event to the user terminal 140. Preferably, a dedicated application is installed on the user terminal 140, and the service server 130 pushes a notification message to the corresponding dedicated application through data communication. For example, in the case of baseball, the service server 130 calculates a score occurrence probability using the game information stored in the database 270, and when the score occurrence probability exceeds a predetermined probability, the user terminal 140 sends the score right situation. In the case of baseball, when a specific inning starts within a predetermined score difference, a notification message may be transmitted to the user terminal 140.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for relaying a sports event according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, in step S501, the service server 130 receives an ID and a password from the user terminal 140 to perform login authentication. In step S502, the service server 130 transmits, to the user terminal 140, a basic playball screen divided in two into an upper screen and a lower screen. Based on the game information stored in the database 270, the service server 130 includes the game information of the day on the top screen of the playball basic screen, and displays the power analysis, real-time relay, and review selection menu for the game of the day, and the bottom screen Displays other teams' game information. Preferably, the service server 130 displays game information on the day of the preferred team set by the user on the upper screen. The first screen displayed when a user logs in is the basic Playball screen as above.

In step S506, when the power analysis menu displayed on the top screen of the playball basic screen is selected by the user, the service server 130 stores power analysis information that can be referred to for the user to watch the game on the top screen. Based on the game information stored in 270, it is provided to the user terminal 140. In the case of baseball, it provides information on each team's line-up, starting pitcher, match prediction, and key players. In the case of a starting pitcher, it is possible to provide information on the analysis of the season performance and major pitches, and in the case of the match prediction, it is possible to provide the result of prediction of the match result by a prediction algorithm based on the KBO official record of the last 30 years. In the case of a key player, information on a player to be watched with interest is provided based on match information between teams based on game information stored in the database 270. At this time, the service server 130 provides a graph of the number of games, hits, home runs, batting average, RBI, and WPA of major players, and also visualizes batting average information for each area divided into a predetermined number of strike zones and ball zones. To provide. Here, the main players may be selected based on the player with the highest batting average and participating in more than 50% of the season's face-to-face matches.

In step S507, when the real-time broadcast menu displayed on the top screen of the playball basic screen is selected, the service server 130 transmits a screen including the real-time broadcast image of the match and related information to the user terminal 140. The service server 130 divides the screen into two and outputs a real-time relay video on the upper screen and outputs related information of the corresponding game on the lower screen. The service server 130 outputs a spectator point, a key player, a game record, a score situation, and a real-time graphic relay image on a lower screen according to a user's selection. When the score situation menu is selected, the service server 130 summarizes and outputs the score situation in time series on the lower screen. At this time, the score situation is summarized and output in time series, and a menu that can be viewed by replaying the score situation as a graphic (e.g., view score situation) is displayed, and if the menu is selected by the user, the score situation is replayed as a video graphic. Print. At this time, the pitching trajectory, pitch type, and ball count in the scoring situation are graphically expressed in the order of time on the bottom screen. When a menu of a real-time graphic relay image is selected, the service server 130 may transmit a real-time graphic relay image to the user terminal 140. Graphical batters corresponding to the actual batter are displayed on the screen, and the pitcher's pitching trajectory, pitch type, strike/ball judgment, and scoreboard are graphically displayed. At this time, the service server 130 displays a tab menu for viewing detailed information on the left or right side of the screen. The tab menu includes pitcher, batter, pitch, batting speed, and smart relay. When the user selects the pitcher tab, the information of the pitcher who has been put into the game, the result of the strike/ball judgment against the current batter, the number of pitches/rotations, and the number of restraints/rotations by day of pitching are displayed. If the user selects the batter tab, the hitting result of the batter during the game, the in-play batting ratio by the vertical/left/right angle of the season's batting ball, the batting result of the day game, the opponent's pitching ratio for the hitter by pitch type, hits, strikeouts, etc. The result of is displayed. When the user selects the pitch type tab, the current pitcher's use ratio/average rate for each pitch type in the season, hit rate for each pitch type, hits for each pitch type on the day, and strikeouts are displayed. When the user selects the batting speed tab, the results such as the in-play batting rate per season batting speed of the batter are displayed.
