Hereinafter, a method and apparatus for providing a game-related messaging service according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a diagram illustrating a process of providing a game-related messaging service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The game server 201 is a server connected to the user terminals 202 and 207 through a wired / wireless communication network to provide a game service. The game server interworks with a predetermined web page, and provides a game service to the user through a user authentication process when the user accesses the web page using the user terminals 202 and 207.

The user terminals 202 and 207 are connected to the game linked messaging service server 206 through a wired or wireless communication network. According to the present invention, the plurality of user terminals 202 and 207 are connected to the game linked messaging service server 206 to drive a messenger program provided by the game linked messaging service server 206. "Messenger" in the present invention may be interpreted as including all programs installed in the user terminal to perform a function for sending and receiving messages between users connected to a predetermined messaging service server.

The user terminals 202 and 207 of the present invention are PDC (Personal Digital Cellular) phones, PCS (Personal Communication Service) phones, PHS (Personal Handyphone System) phones, CDMA-2000 (1X, 3X) phones, WCDMA (Wideband CDMA) Phones, Dual Band / Dual Mode phones, Global Standard for Mobile (GSM) phones, Mobile Broadband System (MBS) phones, Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) phones, Smart phones, mobile phones, etc. Handheld devices that may include communication capabilities, personal digital assistants (PDAs), hand-held PCs, notebook computers, laptop computers, WiBro terminals, MP3 players, MD players, etc., and international A portable electric and electronic device, which means a handheld-based wireless communication device of all kinds, including a roaming service and an international mobile telecommunication-2000 (IMT-2000) terminal that provides an extended mobile communication service. Code Division Multiplexing Acc Certain communications, such as wireless communication devices with GPS chips to enable location tracking via ess modules, Bluetooth modules, infrared data associations, wired and wireless LAN cards, and global positioning systems (GPS) It can be provided with a module, it is interpreted as a concept that collectively refers to a terminal capable of performing a certain operation by mounting a microprocessor.

User terminals 202 and 207 include game client devices 203 and 208 of the present invention. The game client devices 203 and 208 include game modules 204 and 209 for driving games in the user terminals 202 and 207 and messenger modules 205 and 210 for messaging services related to the game. In general, the program may be implemented in a program form and installed and operated in a user terminal.

The game module may be an integrated module that drives a whole game, or may be some of each detailed module constituting details of the game in the integrated module. For example, a detailed module may include a module for a store's function of exchanging or trading an item in an online game, a module for exchanging information with another user, a module for playing or playing a game in cooperation with or against another user. Etc., modules for all functions associated with the progress of the game may be included.

The game linked messaging service server 206 is a device that provides a messaging service related to the user's game progress. Operation and components of the game service server 206 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

2, a process of providing a messaging service in conjunction with a game service according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows.

In step S201, the first user connects to the game server 201 using the first user terminal 202, and executes a predetermined game. When a predetermined event occurs during the game progress of the first user, the game client 203 of the first user terminal 202 generates event occurrence information. The event occurrence information may be about a first user or may be information related to a game progress of a second user associated with the first user.

The event occurrence information includes level information, item information, license information, game situation information, invitation request information, transaction request information, and game access information related to the game service.

The level information is information regarding a rating related to the game progress of the first user. For example, when a first user accesses a game server 201 that provides a "cartride" game service and proceeds with a game and obtains a predetermined score or more, the first user may be information about the adjusted grade.

The item information is information about an item that the first user acquires or loses while playing the game. Similarly, the license information may be interpreted to mean information about the authority to control or use a specific function of the game (eg, a driver's license license in a "carrider" racing game).

The game situation information is information representing the overall situation of the game played by the first user. For example, when the game proceeds to a team competition between a plurality of users, the game progress information of the group to which the first user belongs or the first user It may be information about an event that occurred to a member of a belonging organization.

The invitation request information is information generated when the first user joins another user in the game. For example, the second user of the user ID "soso11" moves to a specific location called "Room 4" of the game that the first user has accessed. If the user chooses to participate, the invitation request information may be generated.

The transaction request information is information generated when the first user requests a transaction with another user while the game is in progress. For example, when the first user wants to purchase an item of the second user while the game is in progress, select the item purchase. If so, the transaction request information including the above content is generated.

The game connection information is information about whether the first user has connected to the game server, and is generated when the first user has connected to or terminated the game server.

The game client of the first user terminal 202 generates the event occurrence information as described above, and the game module 204 in the game client transmits the event occurrence information to the messenger module 205.

In step S202, the messenger module 205 receives the event occurrence information and transmits it to the game linked messaging service server 206.

The game-linked messaging service server 206 receives event occurrence information about a first user who executes the game, and determines a second user associated with the first user.

In this case, the game-associated messaging service server 206 may maintain a user database and determine a second user associated with the first user by referring to the user database.

3 illustrates an example of a user database included in the game-linked messaging service server 206 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the game-linked messaging service server 206 receives event occurrence information to determine a first user identifier 301 included in the event occurrence information, and refers to a user database with a first user identifier 301. Determine a second user identifier 302 associated with the &lt; RTI ID = 0.0 &gt;

The second user identifier 302 is a user identifier that is previously designated as being associated with the first user identifier 301 or is associated with a game, for example, a user corresponding to the first user identifier 301. It may be a user identifier associated with a friend, a cousin, a guild, or the like in the game.

In step S203, the game-linked messaging service server 206 of the present invention transmits the event occurrence information to the second user terminal 207 of the second user using a messaging service. In this case, when there are a plurality of second users associated with the first user, event generation information may be transmitted to all of the plurality of second users.

The messenger module 210 included in the second user terminal 207 of the second user receives the event occurrence information transmitted from the game-linked messaging service providing server 206, and transmits the event occurrence information to the second user terminal. Output from 207 is provided to the second user.

At this time, the messenger module 210 outputs event occurrence information to the second user terminal 207 using various methods such as a notification window, a popup window, and a sound output.

The second user includes a user who is not connected to a game server that provides a game service. That is, when the second user terminal 207 of the second user connects only to the game linked message service server 206, the second user terminal 207 may receive and output event occurrence information regardless of whether the game server is connected to the game server.

Therefore, the present invention has the effect that the second user can receive the messaging service of the progress of the game associated with him or her occurring in the game without accessing the game server.

In addition, the present invention has the effect that the second user can receive the game progress of the game progress of the user associated with him in the game without accessing the game server.

In addition, since the present invention provides a messaging service by transmitting and receiving data to and from a game-linked messaging service server directly from a user terminal, the data throughput of the game server can be distributed. This effect is exacerbated as more users use the game server.

According to an embodiment, the event occurrence information may be an invitation request message related to a game, and the second user may input a confirmation response to the invitation request message output to the second user terminal 207. The game module 209 included in the second user terminal 207 of the second user may receive a confirmation response to the invitation request message to provide a game service related to the invitation request message.

That is, when an acknowledgment is received, the game module 209 connects to the game server 201 and outputs a location related to the invitation request message to the user terminal of the second user, or the game service connected to the second user. Change the location within to the location associated with the invitation request message.

For example, if the first user selects to invite the second user of the user ID "soso11" to "Room 4" of the game "Cartrider", and the event occurrence information includes the invitation contents as described above, The second user may select "OK" on the second user terminal to directly access "Room 4" of the "cartrider" game connected by the first user.

Therefore, the present invention can send an invitation request message to a second user who is not connected to the game server, and when the second user inputs an acknowledgment, the second user terminal immediately invites the position where the first user is invited in the game. Can be output to

Also, when the second user is already connected to the game server, the location in the game service accessed by the second user may be changed to a location related to the invitation message. For example, when the second user receives and confirms the invitation request message as in the above example while playing the game at the location of “Room 1” of the “Cartrider” game, the second user terminal may determine the second user. You can change the location on the "Carrider" game from "Room 1" to "Room 4".

Therefore, the present invention can apply for the participation of the game to the second user who is not connected to the game server, there is an effect that solves the conventional problem that the game opponent is limited to only the user connected to the game server. That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to induce game participation for all users connected to the game-linked messaging service server.

In addition, when the second user selects an acknowledgment for the event occurrence information output to the user terminal 207 of the second user, the game client device included in the user terminal 207 of the second user ( 208 may transmit the response result information corresponding to the acknowledgment to the game-related messaging service server 206 via a messenger.

The acknowledgment result information is information generated to inform the first user that the second user has selected an acknowledgment for the event occurrence information.

The game linked messaging service server 206 receives the response result information, and transmits the response result information to the user terminal 202 of the first user through a messenger.

The user terminal 202 of the first user may receive and output response result information, and the first user may know that the second user has selected an acknowledgment for the event occurrence information.

4 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of outputting level information to a first user terminal and a second user terminal according to the present invention.

When the level information of the first user changes during game play (401), the game client device 203 of the first user terminal 202 generates event generation information and transmits the generated event information to the game-associated messaging service server 206. The game linked messaging service server 206 transmits the event occurrence information to the second user terminal 207 of the second user associated with the first user.

The game client device 208 of the second user terminal 207 outputs the event occurrence information 402 to the second user terminal. In this case, the event occurrence information output screen 402 may be in the form of a notification window, a pop-up window, etc., and may include a user ID or a user nickname of the first user, event notification information describing the occurrence of the event, and the like.
