1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a game service providing system using a communication network according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Game services that can be provided in the present invention will be described based on the end-to-end game, 369 game, multiplication table game, etc., or the end-to-end chat service for convenience of the description below.

Referring to FIG. 1, a game service providing system using a communication network includes a terminal 110 of a first user, a first base station 120, a server 130, a storage device 140, a terminal 150 of a second user, A second base station 160 is included.

When the first user transmits the setting information to the server 130 through the first base station 120 using the terminal 110 to use the terminal chat service, the server based on the information received from the server 130 The game room information is stored in the storage space included in the 130, and after the second user transmits the request information for participating in the endless chat service using the terminal 150, the server through the second base station 160 ( 130).

Thereafter, the server 130 stores the participation information of the second user in the internal storage area, so that the endless chat service can be used between the first user and the second user.

The storage device 140 is an external device coupled to the server 130, and the contents stored in the storage device 140 include a Korean dictionary, a Korean-English dictionary, an English-Korean dictionary, an English-English dictionary, a poetic dictionary, and a person dictionary. This is possible, and examples that are applied differently according to the contents to be stored will be described in detail later with reference to the drawings.

2 is a flow chart of data for indicating region creation and participation in a game service providing system using a communication network according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 illustrates a process in which a specific user creates a game area (hereinafter referred to as a game room) and a plurality of other users participate in order to use a game service. The first user 202, the server 204, and the second user participate in the game service. User 206.

First, the first user 202 transmits the request information about the establishment of a game room to use the end-to-end chat service to the server 204 (210). The transmitting process of step 210 is transmitted through the base station (refer to FIG. 1, 120 and 160) and the switch, but all intermediate steps will be omitted for convenience of description.

The server 204 stores the game room establishment request information received in step 210 in a storage area in the server 204 (230). Step 230 may include authenticating whether the first user 202 is an available user for the end-to-end chat service.

After step 230 is completed, server 204 sends 202 the information to the first user that the storage is complete. Step 202 is on the display of the terminal if the user is a mobile communication terminal. For example, a message such as 'save completed' may be output. In the case of a user using a computer, a message may be output on the user's screen.

Thereafter, the game room information is input to the storage area in the server 204, and waits until the second user receives a request for using the terminal chat service while the terminal chat service is enabled.

The second user 206 who wants to use the ending chat service sends a game room list request to the server 204 (270).

In response to the request received in step 270, the server 204 searches 290 and transmits the plurality of game room information stored in the server 290 to the second user 206 (310).

Step 290 may include checking whether the second user 206 is a user who can use the end-to-end chat service.

In operation 310, the second user 206 receives the list of a plurality of game rooms displayed on the display unit of the mobile communication terminal, and transmits selection information for selecting a specific game room to the server 204. If the second user 206 is connected using a computer, a plurality of game room lists are output on the screen of the second user to allow the second user to select them.

Thereafter, the server 204 updates the game room information of the storage area in the server 204 based on the selection information received in step 330 (350). For example, if the second user transmits the information selected by the second game from among the plurality of game rooms, information such as the current number of participants of the particular game room selected by the second user is updated.

After the server 204 completes step 350, the server 204 transmits the processing result to the second user (370).

The information transmitted from the 370 is, for example, if the first user 202 specifies to play the game together as four users, for example, on the display of the second user 206, 'Wait a minute, 4' 2 people's entrance ".

In addition, if the first user designates two designated persons, the first user may proceed directly to the game start screen.

Since the above steps can be equally applied to all games, such as ending in Korean, ending in foreign languages, 369 games, multiplication table games, a description of each step will be omitted.

3 is a flowchart of data for displaying text transmission in a game service providing system using a communication network according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 3 again illustrates the steps after the game room connection is completed with reference to FIG. 2, again including a first user 402, a server 404 and a second user 406, all of which will be described later. The present invention can be applied to both a mobile communication terminal and a computer communication network.

Referring to FIG. 3, first, a first user 402 using an end-to-end chat service using Korean inputs a first character (eg, a notebook) using a terminal and transmits it to the server 404 (410). ).

The server 404 searches and checks the dictionary stored in the storage device to determine whether the Korean character received in step 410 is actually used character (430).

If the checked character is determined to be a character in the dictionary, the character transmitted by the first user 402 is transmitted to the second user 406 (350).

If the received text is a text that does not exist in advance, an error message may be transmitted to the first user 402, and the error message may be, for example. There is no 'OO' character. Please enter something else '.

The second user 406 receives at step 350, inputs the text to be formed (eg, a desk, etc.) using the last character of the text displayed on the display unit of the mobile communication terminal and transmits it to the server 404. (470).

The server 404 searches and checks the dictionary stored in the storage device to determine whether the Korean character received in step 470 is actually used character (490).

If the checked character is determined to be a character in the dictionary, the character transmitted by the second user 406 is transmitted to the first user 402 (510).

If the received text is a text that does not exist in advance, an error message may be transmitted to the second user 406, and the error message may be, for example. There is no 'OO' character. Please enter something else '.

In addition, in addition to outputting an error message, if the game is operated on a scoring system, the user who caused the error may be deducted, or the score of other users may be increased.

In addition, if a plurality of users are playing the game together, instead of outputting an error message, the game may be stopped until the final winner occurs, and the score of the last winner may be increased. It can be applied to grant.

The end-to-end chat service using Korean may set a condition to input only a word composed of a certain number of characters.

In addition, for example, if the condition is set so that only a three-letter word can be entered, all cases, such as ending and middle ending, are possible.

According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, it can be applied as an end chat service using a foreign language.

Since the steps are the same, detailed description of each step is omitted.

For example, if the first user 402 enters a character in a foreign language (eg, arrow, etc.) and sends it to the server 404, the server 404 may be a suitable word in which the received character is in a dictionary. The acknowledgment is checked and then sent to the second user 406.

The second user 406 may proceed by inputting a specific character (eg, woman, etc.) using the last character of the received character (eg, arrow, etc.) to the server 404. .

The end-to-end chat service using the Korean language or the end-to-end chat service using a foreign language may be composed of a plurality of users to play a game.

For example, suppose that three users play a game. In general, an existing text message service may designate a receiver terminal when transmitting a text and transmit the text to the receiver terminal. Therefore, any first user of the three users designates the second user and transmits the text. The second user inputs a character corresponding to the end of the character, and designates a third user to transmit the character. Then, the third user can play the ending game in such a way that the character corresponding to the end of the character is transmitted to the first user.

In addition, according to the present invention, the end game can be played out of order. If four people consisting of A, B, C, and D play the game, when A first sends a word to the server, the server sends the letter to another user. If more than one end corresponding to the character is sent, the server recognizes the terminal user corresponding to the character sent earlier as the correct end of the character. Then, the end-tag corresponding to the letter may continue in the same manner as described above.

According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, it can be applied to 369 games, multiplication table games and the like.

The way to apply 369 games is to use normal numbers in the normal order, and certain symbols (for example #, *, *) if you need to enter specific numbers (for example, 3, 6, 9, etc.). , Etc.).

Suppose three users play a game. In general, an existing text message service may designate a receiver terminal when transmitting a text and transmit the text to the receiver terminal. Therefore, any first user of the three users designates the second user and transmits the number. The second user enters a number according to the 369 game rule, corresponding to the number, and designates a third user to transmit the number. Then, in response to the number, the third user may play the 369 game by transmitting the number according to the 369 game rule to the first user.

Similarly, the multiplication table game can be applied in a similar manner. In other words, the method of applying the multiplication table game is that the first user inputs a product of a specific number (for example, 3 * 3, etc.), and the later user enters an answer (for example, 9, etc.) It is a method of inputting a product of numbers (for example, 4 * 7).

The process of transmitting and receiving between the plurality of users is managed by the server, and if an input content of a specific user is wrong, an error message may be output.

4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen display displayed on a display unit of a terminal of a game service providing system using a communication network according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the items displayed on the display unit of the mobile communication terminal are game guide 610, user registration 620, game room establishment 630, game room inquiry 440, game room participation 650, and odds confirmation 660. ), And the like.

The game guide 610 is an area for posting guides suitable for game characteristics such as endings in Korean, endings in foreign languages, 369 games, and multiplication tables.

The user registration 620 is an area for registering a user who wants to participate in a game, and may input a specific name designated by the user.

If the user is registered by using the telephone number of the mobile communication terminal, the user registration item may be excluded.

The game room establishment 630 is an area for inputting a name of a game room for using a specific game, and the game room inquiry 640 is an area for reading a list of game rooms available to the user.

Game room participation 650 may be configured to directly enter the name or number of the game room browsed in the game room inquiry 640 area or to automatically connect to any room.

In addition, when a name or number of a specific game room is directly input to access the game room, the game room can be configured to be directly connected to the game room number in the game room inquiry area 640.

The winning rate check 660 is an area for checking the rate of winning or losing that is the result of the game after a specific user participates in a plurality of games.

In addition, the score check item for confirming the score obtained when participating in the game, the score high order items that can be viewed in the order of the highest score can be included, the score low order items can be viewed in the order of the lowest score information, etc. .

According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of game types, such as ending the end of the Korean, ending the end of the foreign language, 369 games, multiplication table game, etc. for a single specific game without operating a game service for a plurality of games Can be configured to simultaneously service.

For this case, an item such as selecting a game type may be additionally included with reference to FIG. 4 again.

According to still another preferred embodiment of the present invention, in a method for applying to an end-to-end chat service, a character transmitted by a first user by a second user who receives a character transmitted by the first user (for example, Monday, Or a plurality of characters starting with the last character (eg, day, etc.) can be checked.

In other words, a test is performed by assigning a serial number to a plurality of characters stored in the storage device.

For example, a plurality of character groups beginning with 'A' for a plurality of characters stored in the storage device are designated as 001, and a plurality of character groups beginning with 'GAR' is referred to as 002. By assigning a serial number to all common start characters.

Subsequently, when the first user inputs the character 'Gourmet' and transmits the server, the server stores the last character 'A' among the received 'Gourmet' and then transmits the text 'Gourmet' to the second user. do. Then, the plurality of characters that can be input afterwards can only be characters starting with 'A', and the area to be searched in the storage device is fixed to the serial number 001.

For example, if the second user checks the received 'Gourmet' through the display unit of the terminal, and then inputs the word 'Impossible' to the server, the server transmits the received character 'Issues' to the server. After confirming that the character starts with the storage device, and transmits to the first user.

In addition, if the second user enters the word 'country' and transmits it, the server checks through the storage device that the received 'country' character is not a letter beginning with 'a', and then gives an error to the second user. Print a message or send the results of the game to multiple users.

According to still another preferred embodiment of the present invention, in a method of applying to an end-to-end chat service, a character (for example, Monday, etc.) transmitted by a first user is received by a server, and the last character of the received character is received. After storing the method, a character received from the first user and the last character stored are transmitted in parallel to the second user.

For example, when the first user inputs the letter 'Monday' and transmits it to the server, the server stores the last character 'day' among the characters 'Monday' received, and then 'Monday' to the second user. Will be sent along with the word "day".

Thereafter, the second user checks the received text 'Monday' and the text 'Day' on the display unit, and then inputs the text 'Day' after the received 'Day' to the server. It is recognized as a letter.

Therefore, the characters that can be input by the second user are limited to characters starting with the single character transmitted from the server, and the single character received by the server is fixed incapable of modification by the second user.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and many modifications are possible by those skilled in the art within the spirit of the present invention.

As described above, the system and method for providing a game service using a communication network according to the present invention enables a game service using a terminal between a plurality of wireless mobile communication service subscribers connected to a bidirectional text service.

In addition, a specific wireless mobile communication service subscriber may play a game in real time using another subscriber and a terminal, and a plurality of subscribers may simultaneously talk or play a game.

In addition, regardless of the type of terminal, any service subscriber can use a plurality of wireless mobile communication service subscribers who have a terminal that can use a mobile communication service.

In addition, in order to allow a plurality of subscribers to share stories or games related to a specific subject, they can be used only by the mobile communication terminal without being connected to the Internet communication network.

In addition, in order to allow a plurality of subscribers to share a story or a game related to a specific subject, it is also possible to use a communication network capable of playing a game in real time using a computer communication network.
