First, in the description of the present invention, terms for emotional factors, emotional indexes, and emotional indexes that may cause confusion will be defined.

The emotional index is a factor that determines the emotional index. The emotional index is calculated as the sum of each emotional index. Examples include physical strength, intelligence, stress, culture, and attractiveness, and each emotional index causes the emotional index. It is determined by the emotional factor, which is the act of doing. Examples of emotional factors include studying at school, treating in a hospital, exercising in a fitness club, eye contact, and stroking. The emotional index of the emotional index is determined by the emotional factors, and weights are assigned to the emotional factors, and the value of the emotional factors is determined in consideration of the time and satisfaction exposed to the emotional factors. Considering this phenomenon, the emotional index for the emotional index is determined by Equation 1 below.

K: Emotion index (Virtual robot when j = w, actually bot when j = r)

p: emotional index

b: emotional factor

w: weight (-1≤w≤1)

In the weight,-means that the emotional index is reduced, + means that the emotional index is increased.

In order to simplify the problem, Table 1 shows the weights of the emotional indexes of the fitness level, which assumes all b values of the emotional factors in Equation 1 without considering variable values.

b (emotional factor) w (weighted) Applicable object Restaurant 0.7 Virtual robot Theater -0.1 Recreation facilities 0.2 Football field 0.8 hospital 0.1 school -0.5 library -0.3 T.V -0.4 Volunteer 0.2 walk 0.3 Arcade -1.0 Exercise 0.8 Robot Toys compliment 1.0 scolding -0.8 kiss 0.5 Battery charge 1.0

As shown in the table above, the virtual robot provided in the virtual world, restaurants, theaters, recreation facilities, soccer fields, hospitals, schools, libraries, watching TV, volunteer activities, walks, enter the game room and react to the emotional index of the virtual robot Kw ₁ Is

Kw ₁ = 0.7-0.1 + 0.2 + 0.8 + 0.1-0.5-0.3-0.4 + 0.2 + 0.3-1.0 = 0.2

That is, the emotional index Kw ₁ for the physical strength index of the virtual robot is determined to be 0.2, and the emotional index of the robot toy is

Kw ₂ = 0.8 + 1.0-0.8 + 0.5 + 1.0 = 2.5

Will appear. The preparation of such a table and the calculation of the emotional index are obtained by the emotional index calculating engine 111.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a synchronization process between a virtual robot and a robot toy in the present invention.

The game participant can check the emotion index of the virtual robot presented in the robot toy and the game server 100 corresponding to the robot toy, in which the emotional index grows differently under different environments of the virtual environment and the real environment. When requesting the game server 100 to match the emotional index through the client server 10 connected to (S201), (S202), the client server 10 the emotional index of the robot toy 20 Read the emotional index stored in the database (S203), the game server 100 receives the emotional index of the robot toy stored in the client server 10, and reads the emotional index of the virtual robot from the DB system robot toys It is added to the emotional index of (S204), and stores this summed value as the emotional index of the virtual robot, and transmits to the new emotional index of the robot toy 20 by transmitting to the client server 10 By matching the emotional index between the robot toy and the virtual robot (S205). The synchronization process of the emotional index is performed by the synchronization engine 112. That is, the emotional index Kw ₃ regarding the physical strength of the virtual robot and the robot toy updated by the above process is

Kw ₃ = (Kw ₁ + Kw ₂ ) = 2.7

It becomes

3 is an exemplary diagram for illustrating a game method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a game shown in FIG. 3.

Game participants are connected to the game server 100 to synchronize the emotional index of their virtual robot and the robot toy, the game server 100 stores the emotional index of each virtual robot in the DB system 130. When the game participants join the game room provided by the game server 100 and participate in the game, the game engine 113 reads the emotional indexes of the respective virtual robots from the DB system 130 to the preset game method. Therefore, the game reflects the emotional index.

In the game illustrated in FIG. 3, two game participants participate in a game in which their virtual robot participates in a track game where hurdles are installed. When the game participant requests to participate in the game server 100 (S401), the game engine 113 loads the game environment shown in FIG. 3 to the client server 10 (S402), and the virtual participant of the game participant. The robot is detected from the database 131 and positioned at the starting point of the track. At this time, the game engine 113 is loaded with the emotional index for the physical strength of the virtual robot (S403), and starts the race with the start command. The game player controls the virtual robot in the game displayed using the mouse, keyboard, joystick, etc., which are installed in his terminal, but the game engine 113 changes the input value of the game participant and the emotional index value held by the virtual robot. Generate a control command to operate the virtual robot according to the new control value.

For example, when two virtual robots A and B encounter hurdles while racing on a track, the game participant reacts through input means to jump the virtual robot. That is, when the game participant is preset to enter the keyboard's enter key in order to jump, the game engine 113 has an emotional index for the physical strength of the virtual robot when the enter key is input from the client server 10. In consideration of this, the height of the jump is determined to control the virtual robot in progress. That is, a virtual robot having a low emotional index cannot jump over the hurdles because the jump height is low, and a virtual robot having a high emotional index can jump over the hurdles due to a high jump height (S404), (S405), and (S406). As such, the game proceeds in consideration of the emotional index of the virtual robot and the reaction of the game participants.

In addition, the control data generated in order to control the virtual robots in the game engine 113 is transmitted to the client server 10 of the game participants, and transmitted to the actual robot toys from the client server 10 of the game participants, The actual operation of the robot toy is performed by the control data. That is, when the virtual robot takes a jump operation, the actual robot toy also takes a jump operation, and when the robot rotates on the track, the robot toy also rotates (S409). In this way, the virtual robot and the actual robot toys to the same operation can further induce the interest of the game participants. Even after the game is over or during the game, the emotional indexes of the virtual robot and the robot toy are updated according to the difficulty of each game and the result of the game (S408) (S409). Since the updated emotional index may be different from each other, the synchronization process as shown in FIG. 2 is repeated (S411), and the synchronized emotional index is a new emotional index as a new emotional index for the robot toy and the virtual robot, respectively. Update

In addition, the game participants can improve the emotional index of the physical strength of the virtual robot by sending a cheer to his virtual robot during the game. At this time, the DB system 130 is stored in the table that determines the ascension index to increase the emotional index according to the type of cheering, and when the game participants cheer, the voice is input but voice / text conversion from the client server 10 It is transmitted to the game server 100 as a text through the process, the game engine 113 reads the elevation of the emotional index for the corresponding cheer stored in the DB system 130 when there is a cheer transmitted in this way, the virtual robot It can be reflected in the emotional index of.

In addition, such cheer can be a game participant inputs a text character with the direct keyboard of the client server 10, the game engine 113 can read the elevation of the emotional index stored in the database for the character to reflect in the virtual robot. have.

As described above, in the present invention, the game participant can participate in the game in various ways during the game, and this modification can be variously assumed.

According to the present invention having the above object and configuration,

(1) By allowing game participants to participate in the emotional game by allowing their emotional index to mature for a long time in the virtual space, they can increase the readiness and patience of the game participants, and at the same time, increase their love for animals.
