FIG.1 is a block diagram illustrating a game-type prize drawing system according to the present invention; and FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a prize drawing method according to the present invention.
Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention The preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.
As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention is a system for drawing a prize using an open network. The system comprises a prize drawing server 13 including an approval section 14 for approving an prize application with referring to business particulars of each client's credit card, a managing section 15 for obtaining an approval information regarding the prize application of each client from the approval section 14 to manage a prize drawing of each client, and a game program operating section 16, controlled by the managing section 15, for operating a game program, a data base server 32 including a client data base 18 for storing a list of clients having the prize application approved by the approval section 14, a game program data base 19 for storing several game programs, a client's point data base 30 for storing points of each client, and an affiliated company's point data base 31 for storing points of each affiliated company, a script 17 for reading~out a data from the data bases of the data base server 32.
Also, the system comprises a security system 12 which is a firewall for preventing the information saved in the server 13 from leaking without permission.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating the game-type prize drawing method according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Specifically, a. method for drawing a prize using the 5 prize drawing system comprises the steps of laying a point as per predetermined sum of money by the approval section 14 periodically refers actual results of the credit card of the client (step 5200), storing the client information having the prize application according to the point in the client data base (step 5201), examining a home page of a credit card company by the client through an Internet web site (steps 5202 and 5203), inputting a client's ID (step 5204), displaying an image for selecting a game menu (step 5205), determining whether the game selected by the client is a drawing-type prize game or an application obtaining match game (steps 5206 and 5207), after the game is selected, playing the game during a desired time (steps 5208 and 5209), and if the game is a drawing-type prize game, displaying a prize drawing result by the game (step 5210 and 5211), or if the game is an application obtaining match game, determining a winner according to the game result and transferring an application of a loser to the winner relative to a win (steps 5212 and 5213 ) .
The operation of the present system as constructed above will be explained in details.
First, if the client uses his/her credit card in a affiliated shop or bank (lump sum payment, allotment, cash service, etc.), the information related to business particulars of each transaction client is transferred to the prize drawing server 13 of the credit card company from the affiliated shop or the affiliated bank. The prize application approval section 14 of the prize drawing server 13 accumulate points as a predetermined money at the time of the use of the credit card in the affiliation shop or bank, and provide the prize application for each transaction client. For example, one point is accumulated as 10,000 won and one prize application per one point is provided.
Iii any case, the prize application approval section 14 checks whether the prize application according to a point score exists, and determines whether the client has the prize application. Thereafter, if it is verified that the client has the prize application, the prize application approval section 14 stores the prize application in the client database 18 via the script 17.
The prize application also can be provided according to the mileage point ratio, if the mileage point is over a predetermined score according to the business of the credit card in approval step by the prize application approval section 14.
In the state that the database 18 stores the information on the prize application given by the transaction contents of many clients, the client connects to the home page of the desired credit card company. And then, if the client inputs his/her ID, the several game menu images are displayed on a terminal monitor.
The above game menu can be classified largely with the drawing prize game and the application obtaining match game.
The drawing prize game draws the prize, and comprises a slot machine, a bingo game, a lottery game, etc. The application obtaining match game transfers any point of the loser to the winner in proportion to a win score, which is determined through the match game, and comprises Patrick' s and Starcraft game.
If the client selects any one of the drawing prize game such as slot machine, bingo game, lottery game, etc. with reference to the game menu displayed on the terminal monitor, the prize drawing manage sections 15 receives the selection signal and drives the game program activator 16. The prize drawing manage sections 15 then reads out a corresponding game program from the game program database l9 via the script 17, and plays the game program.
For example, the client can play five lottery games per one point. Therefore, the client enjoys with the game as times according to the accumulated point score.
Since all of the drawing-type prize game is a probability game, the prize drawing manage sections 15 determines whether the client is drawn, and displays a rize drawing results such as "sir client, congratulate on your prize winning" on the monitor.

Tf the client selects the application obtaining match game, in which the game is played by two clients, the prize drawing manage sections 15 receives the selection signal and drives the game program activator 16. The prize drawing manage sections 15 then reads out the corresponding game program from the game program database 19 via the script 17, and progresses the game program, as same process as above-described.

For example, if client A obtains 50 scores and client B

obtains 100 scores through that they play the Patrick's games selected from the match game, the prize drawing manage sections 15 checks and compares the scores of the players to determine a winner.
And then, the prize drawing manage sections 15 transfers an application point of the client A, who is loser, to the client B, who is a winner.
a Als o, supposing that the point 10 corresponds to one point of the application, if the point of the client B is scores, the client A may obtain 5 points of the application from the client B.

At that time, if the client A obtains 5 points of the application as result of the game, the prize drawing manage g section 15 stores 5 points of the application in the client point data base 30 in the name of the client A.
Also, if the client is drawn through the drawing-type prize game, the client can obtain a prize as a non-passbook deposit form of a bank, or the client can buy some articles corresponding to the prize in the affiliated shopping mall linked to the homepage of the credit card. The latter is the case that the prize is used as electronic money.
Also, if the prize, which is not drawn, is existed after l0 the prize drawing as above-described, the drawing-type prize can be replayed to give the drawing chance for the prize application to other client at a predetermined point of time.
Meanwhile, members of the affiliated company can visit in any credit card' s homepage . At that time, the member of the affiliated company obtains the prize application according to associated conditions, and participate in the drawing-typed prize game or the application obtaining match game as described above.
Also, the prize applications can be given to the owners of the affiliated shops in order to lead them to visit on the homepage of the credit card.
From the foregoing, it will be apparent that the prize drawing system of the present invention may prevent the client's information from leaking by any hacker by constructing the security system 12 which is a firewall for preventing the client's information from leaking without permission.
While this invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that other modifications thereof may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, the invention should not be limited to the disclosed embodiment, but should be defined by the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
Industrial Applicability With the present invention as described above, the user of a credit card is provided with a prize drawing service through several games and informs himself/herself of the drawing results promptly, thereby increasing the use of the open network and leading the activation of the credit card.
