A typical example of such a cooperative game is an ensemble game in which gamers play different musical instruments and increase the degree of completion of the performance of specific music.

  As a related art related to such a cooperative game, Patent Document 1 “Network-based music playing game service method” guides a gamer to a waiting room to create a new game room or an already created game room. Is a technique for entering as a guest and playing the selected music together. Patent Document 2 “Music Game Providing Method and System” describes a technique in which music can be played together with band members by configuring a cyber music band using an instrument selected online by a gamer. Is disclosed.

  However, in such a cooperative game, the more the number of times the game is executed, the easier it is for the gamer who participated in the specific channel because there is no other stimulus that will motivate the game other than acquiring a high score through cooperation. There was a problem that the game became bitter and gamers' willingness to cooperate with the game decreased.

  In the cooperative game described above, if the completion of a specific mission or the performance of a specific music is completed, such a problem is more serious in the case where the game room is generated / disappeared at the same time as one game ends.

  Throughout the specification, a part is “connected” to another part not only when it is “directly connected” but also “electrically” via another element in the middle. This includes cases where they are connected. In addition, the phrase “including” an arbitrary component does not exclude other components unless specifically stated to the contrary, meaning that other components can be further included.

  Hereinafter, specific contents for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying configuration diagram or process flowchart.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an online game system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  The online game system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes one or more gamer terminals 110 and a game server 120.

  Here, the gamer terminal 110 includes a desktop personal computer, a notebook personal computer, a laptop personal computer, and a personal portable terminal. The portable terminal is a wireless communication device having portability and mobility, and is a PCS (Personal Communication). System), GSM (Global System for Mobile communications), PDC (Personal Digital Cellular), PHS (Personal Handyphone System), PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), IMT (International Mobile Telecommunication) -2000, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access)- All types of handheld-based wireless communication devices such as 2000, W-CDMA (W-Code Division Multiple Access), and Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet) terminals are included.

  In addition, the gamer terminal 110 and the game server 120 described above may be a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a value added network (VAN), or the like. For all types of wireless networks such as wired networks, mobile radio communication networks, satellite communication networks, Bluetooth, Bluetooth (Wireless Broadband Internet), HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access), etc. Can be implemented.

  For reference, the game server 120 may include the function of a channel server or may operate in conjunction with a separate channel server.

  Hereinafter, the component 100 of the system shown in FIG. 1 will be described in detail.

  First, among the components of the system 100 shown in FIG. 1, the gamer terminal 110 connects to the game server 120 to select a specific channel and requests a game room to be generated in the selected specific channel. It includes a terminal 111 and one or more second gamer terminals 112 that participate in the generated game room and execute a game in cooperation with other gamer terminals already participating in the game room.

  Here, the “game room” is a space in which a number of gamers cooperate to execute a predetermined game, and the first gamer terminal 111 receives the “game room attribute”, For example, the number of participants, the name of the game room, and selection information related to a game executed by the gamers who have joined the game room can be transmitted to the game server 120.

  For reference, when selecting a game to be executed in the game room on the first gamer terminal 111, as described above, when a game room generation request is made, a desired game may be selected while setting the attributes of the game room. Alternatively, after the game room is generated, a game to be executed in the game room can be selected by collecting opinions of other users who have joined the game room through the chat window. Hereinafter, in the detailed description, a case will be described in which a desired game is selected while setting the attributes of the game room when a game room generation request is made.

  In addition, when a predetermined game is executed, the first gamer terminal 111 and the second gamer terminal 112 respectively transmit game progress data generated by the execution of the game to the game server 120, and at this time, the game progress data is included in the game progress data. The score data is arithmetically processed by the game server 120 and displayed as the score of the game room, and the ranking information of the game room compared with the scores of the other game rooms is the first gamer terminal 111 and the second gamer terminal. 112, respectively.

  For reference, the “predetermined game” executed in the game room is a game executed by many gamers in cooperation. For example, each gamer is in charge of different instruments, and each gamer is in charge of each. For example, there is a “concert game” in which a score is obtained for each gamer when the musical instrument is played (played) accurately, and the score of each gamer is added, and then the ranking of the game room is determined. In the case of an ensemble game, a “unit game” divided into specific music (song) units can be selected separately.

  On the other hand, the game server 120 provides information on a game website, one or more game channels, and a number of executable games, and the game channel selection information, game room attribute setting information, and game room from the first gamer terminal 111. When the generation request is received, a game room is generated based on attributes set by the gamer in the game channel. At this time, the generated game room is determined by the “game room attributes” specified on the first gamer terminal 111, such as the number of participants, the name of the game room, and the game that the gamers who have participated in the game room cooperate to execute. May be.

  In addition, the game server 120 receives game progress data generated by executing the game from the first gamer terminal 111 and the second gamer terminal 112 at the time of executing the game, respectively, and score data included in the received game progress data Take out and process. The game server 120 calculates and displays the calculated score data as the score of the game room, compares the score data with the score data of other game rooms, and compares the score data between the game rooms existing in the same channel. Generate room ranking information.

  At this time, the generated ranking information of each game room is based on the highest score among the points acquired in the unit game executed in each game room, and the first gamer terminal participating in the game room 111 and the second gamer terminal 112 are transmitted in real time, and each gamer can grasp the ranking of the game room in real time to induce competition between the game rooms. Can arrange the game rooms in descending order according to the ranking and display them on the gamer terminal connected to the channel.

  On the other hand, the ranking of the game rooms is displayed on the list screen of the game rooms provided before participating in the game when channel selection or movement is not provided.

  For reference, the game server 120 can apply “weighting” to the points acquired in each game room, and in the case of a game room included in a predetermined range in the game room ranking, Weighting can be applied. With weighting, for example, if a predetermined score is obtained as a result of game execution, a 10% additional point is applied to the score obtained in the game room corresponding to the first to fifth game rooms. That is.

  It is also possible to adjust the weight according to the number of game rooms existing in the channel when the game is executed. For example, if there are only three game rooms on the game channel at dawn time when there are not many gamers connected to the game server 120, the game room ranking can be raised to at least the third place even with a little effort.

  Then, as described above, when weighting is applied according to the ranking of the game room, a gamer who participated in the game room can score more easily than a gamer who participated in the game at other times. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the weight according to the number of game rooms existing at the time of game execution, and to reduce relative disadvantages.

  In addition to the above case, the weight can be adjusted according to the difficulty level of the game. This is because even if the same score is obtained, efforts to obtain the score differ depending on the difficulty level of the game. The method of applying weighting to the points obtained by executing the game can be implemented in various ways according to the embodiments of those skilled in the art, and is not limited to the embodiments of the present invention. Any method for weighting should be understood to be within the scope of the present invention.

  For reference, the points earned by running a game can be converted into game money, and game money is used to purchase items necessary to run a number of games provided on the game website. It can also be used.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the game server 120 of the online game system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  For convenience of explanation, the description will be given with reference to the configuration of the system 100 shown in FIG.

A game server 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a channel generation unit 121, a game room generation unit 122, a game information provision unit 123, a game progress data reception unit 124, a score data calculation unit 125, and weighting. An application unit 126, a rank information generation unit 127, a rank notification unit 128, and a control unit 129 that controls the units 121 to 127 are included.

  For reference, the components shown in FIG. 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention mean software components or hardware components such as an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). Do the role.

  However, “components” are not meant to be limited to software or hardware, and each component can also be configured to be provided on a storage medium that can be addressed, and can include one or more It can also be configured to replay the processor.

  Thus, by way of example, the components are software components, object-oriented software components, class components, task components, processes, functions, attributes, procedures, subroutines, program code segments, drivers , Firmware, microcode, circuits, data, databases, data structures, tables, arrays and variables.

  A component and the functionality provided within that component may be combined into a smaller number of components or further separated into additional components.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the game server 120 shown in FIG. 2 will be described in more detail.

  First, the channel generation unit 121 generates a game channel according to “predetermined criteria”. Here, the “predetermined standard” may include, for example, one or more of age, region, game level, and game difficulty level, and the function of the channel generation unit 121 may be performed by a separate channel server. Good.

  The game room generation unit 121 generates a game room in response to a request from the first gamer terminal 111. At this time, a corresponding “game room attribute” set in the first gamer terminal 111, for example, the number of participants, a game room name, and the like And a game room is produced | generated based on the selection information etc. with respect to the game which the gamer who participated in the said game room cooperates and performs.

  The game information providing unit 123 provides information about one or more games to the first gamer terminal 111 when the game room is generated, and allows the game to be executed in the generated game room to be selected.

  Here, the information about the game can include the name of the game to be provided, the number of players that can participate in the game, the difficulty level of the game, the execution method of the game, and the like. The attributes of the game room can be set with reference to the information on the.

  For reference, the game information providing unit 123 stores a game data DB (database) 123a for storing data necessary for the game and personal information and game related information regarding the gamer, for example, characters, items, game money, rankings corresponding to the gamer. And the gamer DB 123b that stores the accumulated score and the like.

  On the other hand, the game progress data receiving unit 124 receives game progress data generated by executing a game for each game room. Here, the game progress data includes score data acquired at each gamer terminal participating in the game room and “all data” generated by progressing the game at each gamer terminal.

  For example, when a game is progressed on a terminal A among a number of gamer terminals A, B, C, and D that participate in the game room, the game situation that is progressed on the gamer terminal A is determined by other gamers participating in the game room. Terminals B, C and D must be displayed similarly. Accordingly, the game server 120 synchronizes various game progress data such as the game situation progressed on the gamer terminal A, for example, the score obtained by the gamer, the movement of the character, the change of the game background, etc. It can be displayed on the gamer terminals B, C and D.

  On the other hand, the score data calculation unit 125 calculates the score data of the game room after extracting the score data of each gamer from the game progress data described above.

  When a gamer who has joined the game room executes a cooperative game, each gamer can execute the game at the same time, or each gamer can execute the game sequentially, and the score data calculation unit 125 can simultaneously or from each gamer terminal Score data for each gamer is extracted from the game progress data transmitted sequentially, and score data for the game room is calculated based on the extracted score data.

  On the other hand, the weighting application unit 126 can apply weighting to the score data of the game room calculated by the score data calculation unit 125. For example, the weighting application unit 126 applies to the game room included in a predetermined range in the ranking of the game room. A predetermined weighting can be applied, or the weight can be adjusted according to the number of game rooms existing in the channel when the game is executed, or the weight can be adjusted according to the difficulty of the game.

  On the other hand, the rank information generation unit 127 generates rank information of each game room existing in the channel based on the score data to which the weighting application unit 126 applied weighting. At this time, the generated ranking information is based on the highest score among the points acquired in the unit game executed in each game room. Further, the rank information generation unit 127 re-adjusts the ranks of the game rooms in the displayed channel based on the generated rank information of the game rooms.

  That is, when a gamer connected to the game server 120 selects a specific channel, information on the game rooms existing in the channel is displayed as if in a ranking chart.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a screen on which game rooms existing in a channel are displayed by rank information in the online game system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  It can be seen that the game rooms are arranged by rank according to the rank information generated by the rank information generation unit 127.

  For reference, FIG. 3 shows an example in which an “ensemble game” is performed as a cooperative game, in which a ranking 301, a game room name 302, a maximum number of participants, a current number of participants 303, and a score 304 are displayed. In an ensemble game, the score 304 can be displayed as the number of spectators.

  On the other hand, the rank notification unit 128 notifies the game room rank information generated by the rank information generation unit 127 to a number of gamer terminals participating in each game room. At this time, the gamer participating in each game room is notified in real time of the ranking of the game room in the entire game room in the channel. It can be grasped whether it was ranked in the rank.

  It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present invention can be applied in environments that provide a list of game rooms without providing channel selection or movement.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a screen in which the game room ranking is notified in real time to each gamer's terminal by the ranking notification unit 128 of the online game system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  After the end of the unit game, the game room rank information 401 and rank increase information 402 are displayed in real time on each gamer's terminal. Such a real-time ranking notification makes the gamer have a willingness to cooperate with the game and a persistent willingness to play the game.

  As a reference, if a gamer who participated in each game room leaves the game room and cannot cooperate anymore, or if the game room cannot exist continuously for other reasons, The points acquired as a result of the game execution by cooperation may be converted into game money and provided to each gamer. As described above, the allocated points can be converted into game money, whereby items necessary for executing a large number of games provided on the game website can be purchased.

  5a and 5b are flowcharts illustrating a process for inducing competition between game rooms in the online game management method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  For convenience of explanation, a description will be given with reference to the configuration of the system 100 shown in FIG. 1 and the configuration of the game server 120 shown in FIG. 2, and a number of game channels have already been generated by the channel generation unit 121 of the game server 120. Assuming that

  First, the game server 120 receives a game room generation request from the first gamer terminal 111 connected to the channel (S501).

  After step S501, the game information providing unit 123 provides information about one or more games to the first gamer terminal 111, and the game name, the number of players that can participate in the game, The game room attribute information including the difficulty level and the game execution method is received (S502).

  As a reference, a game executed in the game room is a game executed by a large number of gamers in cooperation. For example, each gamer is in charge of different instruments, and each gamer plays the instrument in charge (performance). ), The score is obtained, and after adding the score of each gamer, the ranking is determined. Here, in the case of an ensemble game, a “unit game” divided into specific music (song) units may be selected and played by a gamer.

  After step S502, the game room generation unit 122 generates a game room based on the game room attributes received from the first gamer terminal 111 (S503).

  After step S503, in the second gamer terminal 112 connected to the game server 120, information about each game room displayed in the game channel, for example, the game room name, the name of the game to be executed, the number of players who can participate in the game, and the current Know who is participating.

  After that, the game server 120 receives a selection information regarding one of the game rooms displayed in the channel and a request to participate in the selected game room from the multiple second gamer terminals 112, The second gamer terminal 112 is allowed to participate in the game room (S504).

  If a predetermined game is executed in the game room after step S504, the game progress data receiving unit 124 receives game progress data for each gamer terminal (S505).

  For reference, when a game is progressed on any one of a large number of gamer terminals that participate in the game room, the game server 120 determines the game situation that is progressed on the gamer terminal, for example, the points acquired by the gamer. Various game progress data such as character movement and game background change can be synchronized and displayed on other gamer terminals.

  After step S505, the score data calculation unit 125 extracts score data for each gamer from the game progress data transmitted simultaneously or sequentially from each gamer terminal, and score data for the game room based on the score data extracted. Is calculated (S506).

  After step S506, the weighting application unit 126 applies weighting to the game room score data calculated by the score data calculation unit 125 (S507).

  For example, a predetermined weight is applied to a game room included in a predetermined range in the ranking of the game room, or acquired in the game room in proportion to the number of game rooms existing in the game execution channel. The weighting can be applied to the score obtained, or the weighting can be applied to the score acquired in the game room according to the difficulty level of the game.

  After step S507, the rank information generation unit 127 generates rank information of each game room existing in the channel based on the score data to which weighting is applied by the weighting application unit 126, and the generated game Based on the room order information, the order of the game rooms in the displayed channel is readjusted (S508).

  After step S508, the rank notification unit 128 notifies the game room rank information generated by the rank information generation unit 127 to a number of gamer terminals participating in each game room (S509).

  At this time, the gamer participating in each game room is notified in real time of the ranking of the game room in the entire game room in the channel. It can be grasped whether it was ranked in the rank.

  It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present invention can be applied in environments that provide a list of game rooms without providing channel selection or movement.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a process of generating game room ranking information in the online game management method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  For convenience of explanation, the description will be given with reference to the configuration of the game server 120 shown in FIG. 2, and the weighting application standard is applied when it is included in a predetermined range of the entire game room in the channel, Also assume that weighting is applied in proportion to the number of game rooms present in the channel when the game is run.

  First, the score data calculation unit 125 extracts score data for each gamer from game progress data transmitted simultaneously or sequentially from each gamer terminal, and calculates score data for the game room based on the extracted score data ( S601).

  After step S601, the weighting application unit 126 checks the weighting application criteria, that is, the number of game rooms existing in the channel (S602).

  As a result of the check, if the number of game rooms existing in the channel is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference number, step S603 is performed to apply weighting. If not, the weighting application process is performed. It can also be terminated.

As a result of step S602, when the number of game rooms existing in the channel is equal to or larger than a predetermined reference number, the weighting application unit 126 has a ranking within a predetermined range in which the weighting can be applied. It is checked whether there is any (S603).

  As a result of the check, if the rank of the game room is ranked within the predetermined range, the weighting application unit 126 applies a predetermined weighting to the score calculated in step S601 (S604).

  Therefore, weighting is applied to the number of points earned for game rooms ranked higher, so gamers can play games so that their game room can be ranked higher in the channel. You can immerse yourself further.

  As a reference, as described in step S602, when there is a game room that is equal to or less than a predetermined reference (very small number) in the channel, the above-described application of weighting may be excluded.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, it has been described that the number of game rooms existing in a channel is checked first, and the application procedure of the weighting standard is subsequently checked for the ranking of the game rooms in the channel. Procedures such as the embodiments of the invention must not be observed, and various weighting criteria can be used to determine the weighting application procedure according to embodiments of those skilled in the art.
