The present invention relates to a single server system around the world, and more specifically, the game data appearing in the way of connecting the town, city or city that can be seen in the online game is pre-distributed program is installed in the user client to the user connected to the game When the game is progressed, the city is divided by country and region so that users of the same country and region can play the game together, and the server and the region where the game progress and results are stored in the server where the game is performed. The information of the user playing the game on the server is moved, can be accessed through the local server connected to the user client without restriction of the country and region, and all the users of the local server without distinction, the physical distance of the local server To compensate for differences in features that occur It relates to a single server system worldwide, consisting of a single server worldwide that allows users to connect and play games.

In general, online games that have entered the world market have been divided into countries and regions. Due to the problem of securing and responsive network bandwidth caused by physical distance, and the cultural, social and legal characteristics of the region where the game is served, the game service is different for each region. In the case of providing an integrated service, there was a difficulty in dealing with the fairness of the game, the difference in the timing of the game service, the feature and operation problems caused by the difference, and the language of each country.

In other words, when a game is serviced in different regions, even if the same game is served, there is a problem that users playing a game in different regions cannot interact with each other because the world of games exists in parallel in each region.

An object of the present invention devised to solve the above problems is to install a regional server including a regional game progress module that can proceed the game by separating the server for each country, region, and play the game on the local server By constructing a single server that can record and read user's information, it allows users of all local servers to access the game at the same time and provide the opportunity for frequent contact with people from various cultures. It is to provide a single server system around the world that enables a global rapport.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to compensate for differences in game features that occur in services in different regions through efficient synchronization from local server to a single server in the world, so that standardized game features can be used on a single server in the world. It is to provide a single server system around the world that ensures fairness and enables users to operate the game by integrating users in each region playing the game.

In addition, another object of the present invention, the localization module of a single server in the world supports the language notation of each region based on Unicode, so that users of each local server can gather in a single server of the world to play the game without the problem of language notation. To provide a single server system worldwide.

In order to achieve the above object, the world's single server system of the present invention is a program in which game data appearing in the way of connecting a town, a city, or a city that can be seen in a game is installed in a user client in advance, and the user accesses the game. When the game is played by a town and a city appearing on the user client screen, the city is divided by country and region so that users of each country and region can play the game together, and where the progress and results of the game are stored. Various information of the user playing the game in the server and the local server is transmitted, can be accessed through the local server to which the user client is connected without restriction of the country and region, and processes all users of the local server without distinction, and the local server Compare the version information of the world with the version information of the single server, If the version information of the local server is higher than the version information of the single server in the world, and the specific feature is not supported by the single server in the world, the specific feature is disabled and users can simultaneously access and play the game. The world is made up of a single server.

In addition, the local server, when the user client is connected to allow the user to play a general role play game, the regional game progress module for storing the progress and results of the game, the cultural, social, It includes a regional feature module for storing a list of events, items and weapons specialized according to the legal characteristics and recorded, and a regional database for storing the character information of the user proceeding the game by the regional game progress module.

 The world single server may allow a user who is playing a game in the local game progress module of the local server to move from the city to the capital, and to process the game between users gathered in the capital. A water game progress module for storing the progress and results of the game progressed in the user and allowing users of all local servers to proceed with the game, a water database for storing character information of users who play the game in the water game progress module, Character information providing module for providing the character information of the user who proceeds the game stored in the local database to the capital database when the user who is playing the game in the regional game progress module of the local server, the city database; The list provided in the Regional Features module is a table. Each feature can identify a feature index module that is assigned a feature index, which is a management number for each feature, a feature of the feature index module, identify a server version between a local server and a single server in the world, and recognize a difference in server versions. When the character information of the user moves from a server with a high server version to a low server, the service matrix module selects character information that cannot be moved, and when the users of the local server gather in the capital to play a game, each local server is connected. It includes a localizing module that supports language display of all regions so that the corresponding language of all regions is displayed on the user client screen.

In addition, the feature index module is characterized in that the features of the regional feature module are divided by region.

In addition, the feature index module compares the feature index of the server with a higher server version with the feature index of a server with a lower server version, which is recognized by the service matrix module, so that the feature can be entered from a server with a higher version to a server with a lower version. Characterized in that it is absent.

In addition, during the game, character clothes and items that are owned by each local server user among character information of each local server user may be exchanged, sold, or picked up.

In addition, the characters, buildings, opponent characters, items, monsters, and characters visible to the user's eyes throughout the game can be used on a single server in the world, as long as the rules of game progress are not impaired.

In addition, the service matrix module 125 is automatically generated each time the local server 110 is updated.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the worldwide single server system according to the present invention.

1 is a block diagram of a worldwide single server system in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the global single server system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is composed of a local server 110 and a global single server 120, connected to a communication network 300, and used by a user client. Allow 200 to connect.

The communication network 300 includes a wired and wireless communication network.

The local server 110 is a program in which game data capable of expressing a town, a city, or a road connecting cities that can be seen in a game is an online game played by a plurality of users 200 simultaneously accessing the Internet. Installed on the user client.

When the user 200 accesses the game, the local server 110 shows a town and a city on the user client screen, and the game proceeds.

Regional server 110 is installed separately by country and region.

In other words, cultural, social, and legal characteristics are separated by different countries, and a wider area is divided into regions with close distances and separated by regions.

Users of each country and region can play the game together, and the regional server 110 that played the game stores the progress and results of the game.

The regional server 110 includes a regional game progress module 111, a regional feature module 112, and a regional database 113.

When the local game progress module 111 is connected to the user client, the local game progress module 111 may allow the user 200 to play a general role play game and store the progress and results of the game.

The regional feature module 112 organizes and records a list of events, items, and weapons specialized according to cultural, social, and legal characteristics of the region where the regional server 110 is installed.

For example, the content of the game service may be different for each country in which the game is serviced, or there may be a special event that matches the characteristics of the country. In an actual game, the user 200 may come to the capital and trade items with the item resulting from the specialized event. Specialized events, items, and weapons here are called features.

The local feature module 112 organizes and records the feature list.

The regional database 113 stores character information of the user 200 who proceeds with the game by the regional game progress module 111.

In addition, the regional database 113 stores the details of payment according to the progress of the game progressed in the regional game progress module.

Character information refers to new information used in online games, that is, newly introduced clothes and items. Also, the character information generated by the rules newly added to the online game is also applicable.

For example, if a newly added rule changes the game to carry a pet, character information includes elements such as the pet's breed, name, age, level, and experience, and metadata that specifies it. can do.

The world single server 120 allows the character information of the user playing the game in the local server 110 to move to the world single server 120 to play the game.

The user 200 may access the world single server 120 via the local server 110 to which the user client is connected without restriction of the country and region. The world single server 120 processes all users 200 of the connected local server 110 without distinction.

The world single server 120 corrects the difference in features generated according to the physical distance of the local server 110, and allows users 200 to simultaneously access and play a game.

In detail, the world single server 120 may include a water game progress module 121, a water database 122, a character information providing module 123, a feature index module 124, a service matrix module 125, and a localizing module ( 126).

The capital game progress module 121 allows the user 200 who is playing the game in the regional game progress module 111 of the regional server 110 to move from the city to the capital.

For example, when the user 200 proceeds to the capital while playing a game in the city, the user client screen is changed to enter the capital.

In a real game, only one capital exists on a single server 120 in the world and is shared and can meet people from other regions.

In addition, when the user 200 moves to the capital, the water game progress module 121 has a service right for moving the game in the local server 110 to proceed with the game.

The capital game progress module 121 stores the progress and results of the game progressed in the capital, and allows the user 200 of all the local servers 110 to proceed with the game.

The capital database 122 stores character information of the user 200 who proceeds with the game in the capital game progress module 121.

In addition, the water supply database 122 stores details of payment according to the progress of the game played in the water supply game progress module.

Character information providing module 123 is a game stored in the local database 113 when the user 200 who is playing the game in the regional game progress module 111 of the regional server 110 moves from the city to the capital Character information of the user 200 proceeding to provide the water supply database 122.

The feature index module 124 integrates and manages the features provided by the local feature module 112, but separates the features so that they are not mixed in each region.

The feature index module 124 assigns each feature a feature index, which is a management number for each feature.

In addition, the feature index module 124 indicates which features are provided in each local feature module 112.

The service matrix module 125 may check the features of the feature index module 124.

In other words, the service matrix module 125 may know the features it has for each server version.

The service matrix module 125 is automatically generated whenever the local server 110 is updated.

The update of the regional server 110 depends on the time difference of each region.

The service matrix module 125 checks the server version between the local server 110 and the world single server 120 and recognizes the difference between the server versions.

In general, the server version means a simple number. After the game is serviced, new updates are quantified and displayed on the server. The contents of the server version are maintained separately by the developer.

For example, to check the server version, select Settings in the Display Properties of the properties on the desktop of the user client, select Advanced in the Settings, and check the adapter and the BIOS information among them. can confirm.

Confirmation of the server version can be confirmed between the local server 110 and the world single server 120, the higher the server version can be said that the local server 110 is updated to contain the latest game content.

When it is confirmed that the server version between each local server 110 and the world single server 120 is different, the feature list managed by the feature index module 124 can be viewed and referenced.

In addition, the feature index module 124 compares the feature indexes of the server with the higher server version and the feature index of the server with the lower server version, which are recognized by the service matrix module 125, so that the feature index module 124 may have the features from the higher version server to the lower version server. Should not be able to enter.

For example, the local server 110 has an item that allows to move a long distance that was recently added, and the world single server 120 does not support the movement using the item. It cannot be used to carry into the world single server 120 or even if you want to use it in the world single server 120.

The service matrix module 125 recognizes a version difference between the local server 110 and the world single server 120, and when the character information of the user alternates between the local server 110 and the world single server 120, the server version. When the character information of the user is moved from this high server to the low server, it is possible to select character information that cannot be moved due to differences in server versions.

The feature index module 124 integrates and manages the features. In this case, the features determined as the common features regardless of each region are made available to the users 200 of each regional server 110.

When the world single server 120 proceeds the game, character clothes and items that are common to each local server 110 user 200 among character information of each local server 110 user 200 are exchanged, sold, or picked up. You can do that.

That is, the feature and character information that is common to the regional server 110 regardless of each country and region may be used by users 200 of each regional server 110 in the world single server 120 to proceed with the game. Can be.

The world single server 120 allows the characters, buildings, opponent characters, items, monsters, and characters that are visible to the user through the game to be used in the game as long as the rules of the game progress are not impaired.

For example, information that can be seen with the eyes of a user through a game is appearance information, such as weapons such as swords, shields, bows, or equipment that the character equips, such as books and bouquets, clothes, shoes, gloves, jewelry, hairstyles, The shape of the face is preferably referred to as appearance information. This appearance information is different from character information. For example, if you put the equipment on the floor is not because the character information.

In other words, unless the user's character is equipped with the object and the degree of showing the function to others does not hinder the rules of the game progress, it is preferable that the appearance information that varies from country to country can also be used in the world single server 120.

The localizing module 126 is a language of all regions so that the corresponding languages of all regions are displayed on the user client screen connected to each regional server 110 when the users 200 of the regional server 110 are gathered in the capital and proceed with the game. Notation is supported.

That is, the users 200 of each local server 110 playing a game in the capital game progress module 121 of the world single server 120 are used by the users 200 of other regions playing the game on the user client screen. You can also check the language you speak.

For example, if a user 200 playing a game in Korea plays a game in the capital game progress module 121 together with a user 200 playing a game in the United States, China, Japan, and France, the user client may be in English or Chinese. You can see all the French and Japanese.
