The present invention relates to online service technology, and more particularly, to an online golf game service method.

The Internet population is increasing rapidly due to the development and expansion of communication networks. With the growth of the Internet, various web contents including e-commerce, portals, and games are appearing.

Online games are becoming more popular mainly with young people, and they can be said to be at their peak. Among the online games, strategy simulation games and sports games are typical.

On the other hand, golf has traditionally been regarded as an exclusive possession of the upper class, but with the steady expansion of the base, it is entering the trend of popularization in recent years, and accordingly, the website for the online golf game service is appearing one after another.

The conventional online golf game service displays a golf course on a 3D screen and a 2D screen, selects a club (golf club), and adjusts power (flying distance) and hitting direction, and rotation of a golf ball (hook, slice, etc.). The game is in progress while changing the position of the golf ball.

On the other hand, recently, a golf game using a real golf course as a model (background) makes the user who knows the golf course feel intimate, and a user who wants to proceed with the actual game at the golf course has a prior knowledge of the golf course ( Bunkers and hazards, and the green strategy.

However, since such a conventional online golf game service is not realistic, the learning effect of acquiring prior knowledge about a specific golf course to be expected is hardly obtained. In other words, since game progress depends only on key manipulation (or mouse manipulation), the game progress is irrelevant to the user's actual golfing ability, and the dictionary can be obtained for the specific golf course that can be obtained through such online game. Knowledge can only be obtained from the course guide map.

The present invention proposed to solve the above problems of the prior art, an object of the present invention to provide an online golf game service system and method that can increase the realism and learning effect.

In order to achieve the above technical problem, the present invention, in the online golf game service system for supporting the user's access through the Internet network and support game resources, the user for providing a criterion for classifying the play trend of the user Property database; A user database for providing user information including play trends for each user; And performing an authentication procedure for the user's login request, providing a game environment corresponding to the game information signal input from the user, and displaying a play tendency of the user stored in the user database. A server that probabilistically reflects the adjustment.

Preferably, the online golf game service system of the present invention further includes a golf course database for providing the server with course information on an actual golf course or a virtual golf course to be the background of the game.

Preferably, the course information is at least one of the shape of the golf course, the location of the bunker and hazard, rough characteristics, green slope, climatic conditions.

Preferably, the server probabilistically reflects the accuracy according to the play tendency of the user in adjusting the distance of the user and adjusting the hook / slice.

Preferably, the play tendency of the user includes at least one of an average distance for each club, a handyman, a swing level, and a putting success rate.

The present invention also provides an online golf game service method in a server system that supports a user's access through an internet network and supports game resources, and includes a user characteristic database for providing a criterion for classifying a play trend of a user. A first step of building; A second step of constructing a user database for providing user information including play trends for each user using the user characteristic database; A third step of performing an authentication procedure for a user's login request; A fourth step of providing a game environment corresponding to the game information signal input from the user; And a fifth step of probabilistically reflecting the play trend of the user stored in the user database to the batting point adjustment of the user.

Preferably, the online golf game service method of the present invention further comprises a sixth step of constructing a golf course database for providing course information on an actual golf course or a virtual golf course to be the background of the game.

Advantageously, in the fifth step, the batting seat adjustment of the user is a distance control and hook / slice adjustment.

Preferably, the play tendency of the user includes at least one of an average distance for each club, a handyman, a swing level, and a putting success rate.

The present invention also provides an online golf game service method in a server system that supports a user's access through an internet network and supports game resources. The present invention provides a play for each user according to a predetermined criterion for classifying a play trend of a user. A first step of identifying trends; Providing a game environment corresponding to the game information signal input from the user; And a third step of probabilistically reflecting the play tendency of the user in adjusting the hitting point of the user.

In addition, the present invention, in a system having a processor that supports the user's access through the Internet network and supports the online golf game resources, grasp the play trend for each user according to a predetermined criterion for classifying the play trend of the user A first function of doing; A second function of providing a game environment corresponding to the game information signal input from the user; And a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing a third function that probabilistically reflects the play tendency of the user in adjusting the batting seat of the user.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be introduced in order to enable those skilled in the art to more easily carry out the present invention.

1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an online golf game service system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, wherein a server 101 and a plurality of users 102 interoperate with each other through an internet network 100. It is shown.

The server 101 supports a web site and supports user modules (user interface, application, plug-in, etc.) necessary for performing user authentication and playing golf game. The user module can be supported in the form of plug-in software on the web, and the user can download it from the web site and install it on a PC.

Meanwhile, the server 101 is supported by the user DB 103, the golf course DB 104, and the user characteristic DB 105, and updates new information in the database. The user DB 103 includes user identification information such as name, address, telephone number and credit card number of the user 102 and user connection information such as ID and password, characteristics (golf skills) and total information of each user 102. User history information such as, and charging information (charge state) for each user 102 is stored. The golf course DB 104 stores course information such as the form of the golf course, the location of the bunker and hazard, the rough characteristics, the slope of the green, and the climatic conditions (wind and humidity), which are the background of the game. The course can be directly reflected, and a virtually designed golf course can be registered.

The user 102 is a person having a user account through a predetermined member registration procedure, and accesses the server 101 through the user terminal.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process for providing an online golf game service according to an embodiment of the present invention, which illustrates a case of connecting to a server through a web browser.

First, a user accesses a golf game service web site through an internet network (200).

Next, the user inputs an ID and a password to log in and the server performs an authentication procedure thereto (201). Here, the user assumes a user who has a user account, that is, registered in the user DB through a predetermined membership registration procedure. If there is no user account, the user should log in after performing the membership registration procedure. At the time of membership registration, the user selects a condition corresponding to himself / herself from the conditions (for example, handy, distance, swing level, putting success rate, etc.) registered in the user characteristic DB, and the server registers it in the user DB.

The user then executes the gaming application (user module) (202). Since the present embodiment accesses a web site through a web browser, a separate application must be executed to play a game. If the server is accessed through a user module, there is no need to execute a separate application.

Subsequently, the user enters game information (203). Game information refers to the number of game participants (single play, majority play, etc.), the manner of the game, the golf course (or golf course) to play the game, the climatic conditions (humidity, wind, etc.) of the golf course. You can select the conditions you want.

Next, the user plays a golf game (204). When the golf game is executed, the weight is given a probability weight in accuracy, distance, etc. according to the user's characteristics (ability) registered in the user DB, that is, play is performed by reflecting the user's characteristics. The progress of the golf game will be described in more detail later.

Subsequently, when the user completes the game, the server updates the charging information and the user history information to the user DB (205), and terminates the process. In this case, the charging information is required only when the golf game service is operated as a paid service, and the user history information includes the game history of the user and the game history (content).

Tables 1 to 4 below illustrate representative database tables for reflecting user characteristics (performance) during game play.

<Average distance>

<Average handy>

<Swing level>

<Putting success rate>

Table 1 is a database table for reflecting the average distance of the user, the user to input the average distance for each club. The data entered in this way is registered in the user DB and becomes a reference of his flying distance during the game.

Next, Table 2 is a database table for reflecting the user's handy, the handyman (professional), single (amateur), amateur (amateur), beginners (beginner), etc. Handy and the corresponding sensitivity (%) It is shown. Sensitivity refers to difficulty in power (flying distance) adjustment, direction adjustment (hook / slice degree), etc., and the lower the sensitivity, the more accurate adjustment is possible in power, direction, and the like. In other words, sensitivity is inversely proportional to accuracy. Handy sets the weight in the overall sensitivity as an indicator of the user's overall golf skills.

Table 3 is a database table for reflecting the swing level of the user, and applies a miss shot probability according to the swing level and the standing condition from 0% to 50%. In golf, posture is a very important factor in scores, especially in shots in unusual or standing areas, such as bunker shots, rough shots, and shots from slopes. It should also be reflected in the game. Meanwhile, the swing motion of the user may be received as a video and reflected in the user characteristic.

Finally, Table 4 is a database table for reflecting the user's putting success rate, the sensitivity varies depending on the putting success rate and the putting distance. The user must choose his putting success rate, which will affect the accuracy of his putting in the game.

Hereinafter, the game execution procedure will be described in more detail.

When the user has completed the login and authentication process, the character representing the user's characteristics appears in the user module.

The user first enters game information. For example, the game method is selected as stroke match play, the game participants are selected as solo play, the golf course (golf course) is selected as XX country club, and the climatic condition is selected as normal.

Next, the user plays the game. 3 is a diagram illustrating a user module during game play.

The user module includes a three-dimensional display window 30 displaying three-dimensional images of a golfer and a golf course in three dimensions, a two-dimensional display window 31 displaying a golf ball position and a planar (two-dimensional) layout of the golf course, A close-up window 31 is displayed in which the area indicated by the user on the two-dimensional display window 31 or the area where the golf ball is located is displayed close up, and various information windows and control windows are provided.

The information window includes a climate information window 33 indicating wind strength, wind direction and humidity, a course information window 34 showing course information (hole number, wave, distance, etc.), score information, and how many shots are currently in the hall. There is a play information window 35 indicating how much distance is left.

The control window includes a club selection window 36 for selecting a club, a direction control window 37 for adjusting the direction of the batting, a power control window 38 for adjusting power (flying distance), and a hook / slice. There is a hook / slice adjustment window 38 for adjustment.

In order to use the shot, the user selects an appropriate club from the club selection window 36 by referring to the information displayed in the course information window 34 and the play information window 35, and displays the shape of the course displayed on the two-dimensional display window 31, The direction of the hitting ball is selected in the direction control window 37 by referring to the location of the bunker or the like and the wind intensity, the wind direction, etc. displayed on the climate information window 33. At this time, when the user points out a point on the two-dimensional display window 31, the distance from the golf ball to the point and the distance from the point to the hole are immediately displayed, and the point is close-up and displayed on the close-up window 32. .

When the batting direction is determined as described above, the hook / slice adjusting window 38 adjusts the hook / slice degree of the batting. At this time, as described above, the probability of accuracy is adjusted by reflecting the user characteristics (sensitivity) stored in the user DB. 4A is an exemplary view of the hook / slice adjusting window 39, which shows a state in which the golf ball image 41 is moved to the left and right of the reference bar 42. The moving speed of the golf ball image 41 changes according to the sensitivity of the user. If the user's sensitivity is high, the movement is fast, and if the user's sensitivity is low, the movement is slow. On the other hand, in the golf game, the hook or slice may be intentionally used by the user, but it is not necessarily bad, but since the direction of the batting is determined in advance, the hook or slice is not able to send the golf ball to the correct position. The user has to manipulate the key (or click the mouse) at the point he wants to make the desired rotation (or no rotation) on the golf ball. The more sensitive the golf ball image 41 moves, the more accurate shot You will be less likely to speak.

The user who finished the club selection, the direction of the batting, the hook / slice adjustment as described above, and finally adjust the power (flying distance) in the power control window (38). In this case, as described above, the average distance for each club of the user stored in the user DB is reflected, and the accuracy of the distance is stochastically adjusted by reflecting the sensitivity of the user. 4B is an exemplary view of the power control window 38, in which a reference level moves up and down on a bar-shaped scale. The center of the bar shows the average distance for each club of the user. The distance up to 10% increases as the reference level goes up and the distance decreases to 30% as the reference level goes down. The speed at which the reference level moves also depends on the sensitivity of the user. If the user's sensitivity is high, the movement is fast, and if the user's sensitivity is low, the movement is slow. That is, the smaller the sensitivity is, the higher the probability of accurately adjusting the flying distance. When the maximum power and the minimum power are set to the same degree, the discrimination power is lowered according to the sensitivity, so 10% and 30% are applied differently.

When the power adjustment is completed as described above, the character on the three-dimensional display window 30 is swinging, the golf ball is flying. The movement of the golf ball is also displayed on the two-dimensional display window 31, and when the golf ball stops, close to the point is shown on the close-up window (32). This can be especially useful for tracking rough conditions.

On the other hand, if you want to get information about the course, you can press the caddy button (not shown) to receive advice from the caddy, or you can watch the play of professional players actually played on the course. In addition, when several people are playing a game, by performing a video / voice chat through a chat window (not shown), it is possible to obtain the effect of mutual information exchange with the effect of actually having a conversation on a golf course.

In addition, a mark indicating a distance is disposed in various places in an actual golf course. In the present invention, a three-dimensional display window 30 allows a banner bar advertisement to be inserted on a mark adjacent to a position of a golf ball, and a two-dimensional display window. This is also indicated at (30) so that when a user clicks and moves to the linked homepage, the user can be given points. The accumulated points may reflect this when the user DB is registered. Meanwhile, when the golf ball stops in a certain zone, the advertisement automatically pops up, and the advertiser may give a prize or give a point to induce interest to the user and increase the advertisement effect.

On the other hand, the user can analyze the contents of his game through the user history information (previous game content) stored in the user DB even after the game, and can obtain additional information about the golf course.

The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and various substitutions, modifications, and changes are possible in the art without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be clear to those of ordinary knowledge.

The online golf game service of the present invention described above has the effect of increasing the realism by reflecting the golf skills of the user to the game as much as possible, and thus, the effect of increasing the learning effect in addition to the entertainment aspect of the game can be expected.
