It should be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto and will be obvious.

First, before describing with reference to the drawings, the general description disclosed in the present application will be described in detail.

The item shop disclosed in the present application aims to increase the indicators such as Average Revenue Per Unit (ARPU) and Buying User (BU) by activating a user's item purchase more than now. Emphasize the side.

I. It is about safety awareness, and when a user explicitly discloses a lot of items, many people think that it will be safe to buy a product that many people buy a lot, and the sales volume or popularity is used as a criterion.

II. It's about losing opportunities, the more limited or rarer the chances of buying, the greater the desire to buy because of the fear of losing opportunities, and the effect of the Ⅲ sequence, which you want to advertise, the most likely to sell. When placed in, it can be best sold and reflects that the display order also has a large impact on purchases.

Here, for the loss of opportunity, there are a level limit, a limited sale, a discount sale having a predetermined number or a period, and the level limit will be described.

First, level limits can be used for many purposes, but creating low-cost, high-efficiency items that can only be purchased at specific level levels to drive first purchases is relatively unlikely for users who have made a purchase at one time. Considering the fact that it is high, it lowers the barrier to purchase with cheap but highly efficient items, and emphasizes the loss of opportunity by emphasizing that it can be purchased only at a certain level.

Paying for an item that can be used after a certain level to induce the user's early survival, for example, initially pays for a certain group of player cards, and provides a level above which the card can be used. This is because the probability that the initial user will play the game up to at least 3 levels is increased.

In order to induce the first purchase, when selling low-cost, high-efficiency items, in order to prevent fraudulent use, such as a player card is set to not be possible to trade, and may be an item that is naturally exhausted as the level is increased to limit the number of purchases. For example, if the item is limited to 30 games, the game will run out of 30 games, and the user's level will increase in the meantime. do.

Second, limited sales and discount sales are functions for short-term sales growth or events, emphasizing the loss of opportunities by highlighting the shortage of quantities or periods, and preliminary quantities or period limitations. You can also watch the response and make changes continuously.

Divided into functional parts, it can be divided into My Page tab, Search tab, Limited and Discount sale, Ad banner, Use / Purchase level limit, Item DP order setting, and My Page tab is the first tab of the item shop. , Which is the frontmost screen, which shows the user what other people buy a lot of items, and displays the item that the user has recently purchased.

Limited sales and discount sales have a fixed quantity or period of time, and items are sold or discounted only while the term or quantity satisfies the conditions, and the ad banner supports an ad banner space where images can be displayed on each tab. In the case of an item advertisement, a purchase button is also displayed. The advertisement may be changed at a predetermined time like a web banner, and other content in the game may be advertised.

Use / Purchase Level Limits allow you to set the level of use and purchase restrictions on an item, and item DP ordering is displayed by default for items with high sales, limited sales, discount items, and new items. It can also be set arbitrarily.

Hereinafter, discount sales, level restrictions, and limited sales will be described.

First of all, the item use / purchase level restriction will be described. The item sold in the item shop can set a purchase limit level, and each item has a field for limiting the purchase level as shown in Table 1 below. have.

Table 1

field	range	Remarks
Lower level	1-10	Purchase Restriction Level Lower Limit
Upper level limit	1-10	Purchase limit level upper limit

The lower limit is that only users whose supervision level is higher than this field value can purchase the item.

If a purchase attempt is made, a purchase failure popup should appear, for example:

If the item A is stopped and the client renewal is rather late, and the user is exposed to A being discounted, if the user wants to purchase A, item A notifies the purchase that the discount has ended and fails the client at this point. Is updated, “A item is exposed at normal price, and item information is changed in purchase failure popup. Please try your purchase again ”.

The condition for the status of the discount is TRUE if the period sale is TRUE (AND condition), the current time is outside the range of the sale start time-end time, the quantity discount is TRUE (AND condition), and the remaining quantity is 0 or less. If at least one is satisfied, the discount is stopped.
