The ampule download time, the type of the game or the song of the robot pet, and the like can be stored.

Hereinafter, a process of raising a robot pet using the game method of the present invention and playing a game using the robot pet will be described in detail.

First, a user who owns a robot pet connects to a game server that provides the game method of the present invention and joins the member. Robot pets contain a certain amount of food at the time of their first purchase, but they consume their food as they are active, so the required food must be downloaded through a game server. Therefore, in order to keep growing the robot pet and enjoy the offline game, it is necessary to download the required bait or other data through the game server. After subscribing, you can use such a download service. In particular, people who raise actual pet animals often engage in activities such as forming a club and exchanging information or pairing with each other. It is possible to provide a community service in which people meet and exchange information, and a membership system is suitable for such a community service.

In order to join a member, a user ID and a password are registered, and the own robot pet is registered. If a user with multiple robot pets wishes to join a member, they may have two member IDs, and may register multiple pets while subscribing to one member ID. it can. In the case of adopting the former method, since one robot pet corresponds to one user ID, the robot pet can be identified by the user ID.

On the other hand, a system in which a user who owns a robot pet is not obliged to join a member, but is allowed to download even non-members, and provides members with other additional services such as a community. You can also. In this case, the game server does not store user information,
Only the information on the robot pet is stored using the serial number (product number) or ID of each robot pet.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a service initial screen simply showing functions provided from the game server of the present invention. As shown in the figure, a menu for membership 310 and usage guide 320 is provided, and the user can connect to a game server and directly purchase robot pets or related peripheral devices (game tools, etc.) online. Can be provided with a shopping menu 330. The most important function provided by the game server is download 340, which will be described in detail later. A community menu 350 for the above-mentioned community activities is also provided.

After connecting to the game server and subscribing to a member, baits, ampules, games, and the like for the robot pet can be downloaded.

When the download function is selected in FIG.
FIG. 4 shows an example of a screen presented to the user. First, the robot pet is initialized before the first download. Initialization can be performed by clicking an “Initialize” button 410 provided on the screen shown in FIG. 4. When the button is clicked, the robot pet 100 and the game server 300 communicate with each other through the user terminal 200. , The game server 300 is the robot pet 1
00, the information is stored in the database 400, and the environment in which the robot pet 100 can download a food or a game is set. Initialization is performed in addition to the case of downloading first, and the user's terminal 2
00 is changed, or the communication method between the user's terminal 200 and the robot pet 100 is changed.

When the download environment is set upon completion of the initialization, the user can download the bait, the game, and the like to the robot pet. In FIG. 4, when a button indicating a desired item is clicked, the state proceeds to a state where the item can be downloaded.

An item to be downloaded can be downloaded only when the robot pet is in a situation where the item can be downloaded. For example, the amount of food that a robot pet can carry at one time is limited. Therefore, if the robot pet already has the maximum amount of food, it is possible to prevent further download of the food. In the case of songs, songs you already have do not need to be downloaded again, so you can prevent them from being downloaded,
In the case of games, the types of games that can be performed can be limited depending on the year of the robot pet, so that the download can be made possible or impossible depending on the year of the robot pet. In the case of ampoules, they are used to treat the disease, so they can be made downloadable only in situations where they become sick (for example, when they get sick because they haven't eaten any more food). .

In the control of the download method, the game server communicates with the robot pet to determine the state of the robot pet and then decides whether or not to download the game. It can also be transmitted unconditionally and controlled by the robot pet that is the receiving side.

Of the download items shown in FIG. 4, the item called loved tea is an item which provides a function of matching robot pets having different genders.

On the other hand, when downloading baits, ampules, new functions, songs, and the like, a fixed fee may be paid for each download item.

As described above, after the user connects to the game server, the robot pet is initialized, the required items are downloaded, and the robot pet is grown.
Treat robot pet's illness or enjoy online / offline games using robot pets.
Since the robot pet's food is consumed as the robot pet moves, the user sometimes connects to the game server to download the food. At this time, by registering a new game or song in the game server and providing it to the user, an additional function can be added to the robot pet.

On the other hand, the robot pet can be grown by activities such as feeding and playing by the user. The growth algorithm of the robot pet will be described below. The growth of the robot pet may have an algorithm for growing itself using hardware or software functions in the robot pet, but the game server controls the growth using the information of the robot pet. Is preferred. Hereinafter, the latter will be described.

FIG. 5 shows a flow showing the process of growing a robot pet. The growth of robot pets is possible in various ways, but is basically related to the amount of food the robot pet has downloaded. On the other hand, if you do not feed on time, the robot pet will become sick, and if it becomes sick, it will treat the robot pet with an ampoule before feeding, so it will also be related to the amount of ampules downloaded . That is, after setting a power having a value according to the amount of food and ampoule downloaded, when the power reaches a predetermined value (k), the year is increased, and when the food is successfully downloaded, the power is increased by a predetermined amount (Δn). When the ampoule is increased and the ampule is downloaded, the year of the robot pet can be controlled in such a manner that the power is decreased by a predetermined amount (Δm).

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, after the user connects to the game server (S510), the robot pet is initialized if necessary (S520), and the food is downloaded (S530). At this time, if the bait is successfully downloaded, a predetermined amount (Δn) is added to the power (S5).
40). A successful download of the bait means that the bait has been downloaded to the robot pet in a timely manner.
That is, if the robot pet already has the maximum amount of food, or if it becomes ill and cannot eat food,
Downloading bait again does not increase power.

Next, when the user successfully downloads the ampoule (S550), the power is reduced by a predetermined amount (Δm).
Subtract At this time, the predetermined amount (Δm) to be subtracted is preferably larger than the predetermined amount (Δn) added at the time of downloading the bait. In the case of ampoule download,
The power value changes only if the download is successful. In other words, if the robot pet is in a healthy state, the attempt to download the ampule cannot be performed, or the power is not reduced even if the download is performed.

It is determined whether the power value thus changed is equal to or more than a predetermined value (k) necessary for increasing the year (S570). As a result of the determination, when the value becomes equal to or more than the predetermined value (k), the year of the robot pet is increased by one (S58).
0), otherwise return to the beginning.

When the year increases, the robot pet may perform a special operation according to the increase of the year. The game server increments the year and transmits this result to the robot pet to adjust the year in the robot pet to sing birthday celebration songs and dance special dances. it can.

On the other hand, in growing the robot pet, it is preferable that the robot pet grows faster as the interaction between the user and the robot pet increases. Thus, besides the amount of food to download, the time interval for downloading the food can be added as a parameter and used to increase the year of the robot pet. An example of this is to store the last time each robot pet has downloaded food at the game server, calculate the interval between downloads of the next food, and use this as a parameter. However, robot pets usually consume food as they move, so in the case of robot pets that operate frequently, that is, when users frequently play with robot pets, when robot pets are not operated Food consumption is higher than in the past, which reduces the time between food downloads.
Therefore, the time required to download the same amount of food and reach the predetermined power is shorter in the case of a robot pet with a large number of active animals than in the case of a robot pet with a low activity. Even if the growth is regulated as described above, the interaction with the user is reflected.

On the other hand, various online / offline games used by robot pets are provided through game servers, and some of these games are limited by the year or sex of the robot pet. For example, as robot pets grow older, their movements become more agile and their ability to receive external input increases, so there may be games that can be used in certain abilities, especially when it comes to pairing The game can be used only when the robot pet is in a particular year, and other programs can be used depending on gender. In this case, a method of restricting or allowing the download of the game will be described.

FIG. 6 shows a flow chart of this method.
First, similar to the normal download method, after connecting to the game server (S610), the robot pet is initialized as necessary (S620). Next, when the user requests the download of the game on his / her own terminal device (S6).
30) The game server checks whether the game requested by the user to download has a year or gender restriction (S).
640) If there are restrictions, the year and gender of the robot pet are confirmed with reference to the database (S650). As a result of the confirmation, if the robot pet that has requested the download can download the game, the game is downloaded (S660). Otherwise, a message indicating that the game cannot be downloaded (for example, “This game Can be used only by those who are 3 years or older "," This game uses only tea tees that are girls ", etc.) (S670).

If the information on the year or gender of the robot pet is not stored in the database, the game server communicates with the robot pet to determine the year and gender of the robot pet, and the same as above. It can be done by the method.

On the other hand, the game server according to the present invention can provide a community service in which users who own the robot pet can exchange information on the robot pet or engage in activities such as pairing. The community service can be used by subscribing to the game server of the present invention as a member. The services provided through the community include news 710, friend search 720, and partner search 73 as shown in the screen of FIG.
0, memo 740, chat 750, and the like.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiment, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope described in the above embodiment. Various changes or improvements can be added to the above embodiment. It should be noted that such modified or improved embodiments may be included in the technical scope of the present invention.
It is clear from the description of the claims.
