2 is a block diagram of a game server 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, the game server 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a game room management unit 210 for opening a game room, and manages information on the opened game room, etc .; A user information management unit that manages user information of a user who has registered as a member for a game and manages user information of a user who is in a waiting room or a user (participant or spectator) who enters a game room, that is, a user who accesses the game server 110. 220; A change card item management unit 230 for managing a change card item (C.Card) held by the user; And a game controller 240 for controlling the overall game such as start, progress, and end of the game.

The user information manager 220 generates a participant list for the game room opened by the game room manager 210 according to a user's opening of a game room, that is, a room creation request, and all participants included in the participant list. Check the user information for. In this case, the user information may be previously stored in a separate database and updated and stored according to the use of the service of the corresponding user.

The change card item management unit 230 checks the user information for all participants included in the participant list to check the participant who has the change card item among all the participants, and selects a specific participant who uses the change card item among the confirmed participants. The sub-item selected from the plurality of sub-items included in the change-card item is confirmed for each identified specific participant, and when the game is completed, the change-card item information for the change-card item used in the game is updated. Here, according to the plurality of sub-items included in the change card item, the start state or progress state of the game is controlled differently.

The game control unit 240 controls the game based on the sub-item selected from the plurality of sub-items included in the change-card item by the change-card item managing unit 230.

The user information management unit 220 described above includes' basic information 'including ID information, possessed game money information, and exclusive information, and' change card item information including a retention level, a card holding number, and durability for a change card item. Check user information including 'by participant.

User information on a game participant or a game service member managed by the user information manager 220 is shown as an example in FIG. 4.

Referring to FIG. 4, as an example, the user information 400 may include basic information 410 including ID information, retained game money (money) information, record information, and win rate information, and a retention level 421 for a change card item. ), Change card item information 420 including card holding number 422, durability 423, and the like. Also, the area in which the change card item information 420 is displayed includes an area 424 in which a description of the level of the change card item (C.Card, C.C) is displayed. A description of the level of the change card item upon mouse over in this area 424 pops up in image form 425.

In the user information 400 shown as an example in FIG. 4, through the card holding number 422 information of 100.5, the user selects the change card item of the level indicated by "two stars (★★)" at the highest level. Has 100 change card items, and has 5 change card items at the level indicated by "one star", which is a lower level of "two stars (★★)". You can see that. That is, the retained number of change card items for the highest level among the changed change card items is indicated by an integer part, and the retained number of change card items for the lower level is indicated by a fractional part.

In the user information 400 illustrated as an example in FIG. 4, the durability 423 displayed in the form of a gauge bar is lost when the user loses a change card item used by the user to play a game. It is consumed by a certain percentage (eg 2%). If the durability 423 becomes 0%, one change card item is lost.

The change card item management unit 230 checks user information on all participants included in the participant list to confirm the participant who has the change card item, and checks whether the change card item is used or not from the terminal of the confirmed participant. Confirm the specific participant using the change card item by receiving, and confirm the selected sub item among the plurality of sub items by receiving information on whether to select a plurality of sub items included in the change card item from the terminal of the identified specific participant. do.

The above-mentioned "change card item" is an item that can be obtained when a user uses various contents in an avatar or a game site, an item having a specific function to benefit a user, and has a plurality of sub items having different functions. A collection of items to include in a package.

Although "change card item" is used herein in the term of a card, the expression form is not necessarily limited to a card, and a sub-item for selectively using a plurality of sub-items having different functions in one or more kinds of games. As long as it is an aggregate, it should not be construed as limited to its expression form or term.

5, one change card item is displayed, and one change card item shown in FIG. 5 includes an area 510 for displaying a sub-item and an area 520 for displaying a level. have.

The change card item 500 illustrated by way of example in FIG. 5 includes three sub-items 511, 512, and 513 displayed in an area 510 displaying a sub-item. The selected information is transmitted to the game server 110 to recognize which sub-item the user wants to play the game. This area 510 also includes an interface for selecting whether or not to use the change card item 500 or which sub-item to select before starting the game, if the user wants to select the same sub-item used in the previous game. There is a part called 'same as before' 514 that can be selected and a part called 'do not use' 515 for this if you do not want to use the change card item 500. Also, the change card item 500 illustrated by way of example in FIG. 5 is a change card item whose level is a two-star level.

In this way, when a specific participant who has a change card item selects a specific sub item, this information is received by the change card item management unit 230, and the game is started by the game control unit 240 based on this information. The game controller 240 applies a specific function corresponding to the sub-item selected to be used from among a plurality of sub-items included in the change card item to the user in the start state or the progress state of the game. Detailed description thereof will be described in detail later by way of example.

In addition, as described above, one change card item may be an item for a specific level among the levels of a plurality of hierarchical concepts in terms of value. Referring to FIG. 4, the level of the change card item may be, for example, a general level, one star level, two star levels, three star levels, one circle level, two circle levels, and three circle circles. There can be seven hierarchical levels, including four levels. In the example of FIG. 5, the change card item 500 is a change card item of two stars levels.

Using the fact that the change card item has a level, the above-described game room management unit 210 may open a game room that a user who owns a change card item of a predetermined level or more can enter. In addition, the game room manager 210 may open a game room that can be accessed by a user who owns a certain amount of game money.

In addition, the level of the change card item is similar to a currency unit, and means the value of the change card item. Therefore, the change card item manager 230 described above corresponds to a change card item of a lower level for a specific level by a predetermined number of change card items of a specific level, and changes the change card item of a specific level by a predetermined number. The level of the change card item is managed in correspondence with the higher level change card item for a specific level.

According to the correspondence of the level of the change card item, the change card item management unit 230 may perform the change card item conversion process between the corresponding change card items.

For example, a change card item of a level indicated by "two stars" has a value corresponding to ten change card items of a level indicated by "one star". Therefore, the change card item of the level indicated by "two stars" may be converted into ten change card items of the level indicated by "one star".

When the game is completed, the change card item management unit 230 updates the change card item information (for example, durability, user information, etc.) so that the change card item used in the game is paid to the winner, and the change card Reduces durability against items by a predetermined percentage.

The change card item manager 230 described above deletes and invalidates the information on the change card item when the durability of the change card item becomes zero.

The user information manager 220 may identify the access IP address for each participant included in the participant list, and display the access IP address found during the game.

The game provided by the game server 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a poker game, a high-stop game, a role playing game (RPG), a web board game, a massively multi-player online role playing game (MMORPG), or a FPS (First). Person Shooting) games, casual games, mobile games and the like can be one.

As described above, the game control unit 240 included in the game server 110 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be used depending on which sub-item among a plurality of sub-items included in the change card item is selected and used by the user. You have to control the game to provide other specific features to the user, and this game control depends on the type of shop. In the following, game control performed for each of the poker game and the high-stop game will be described in detail.

First, when the game provided by the game server 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a poker game, the game method will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9. FIG. 6 illustrates the overall process of the game when the game provided by the game server 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a poker game, and FIG. 7 illustrates a change card on a terminal of a specific participant having a change card item. A diagram illustrating selecting a sub item in the system. However, FIG. 6 assumes a Seven poker game in which a total of seven cards are provided to each participant.

6 and 7, a plurality of sub-items included in the change card item 700 that may be applied in a poker game may be, for example, Choice sub-item, Joker sub-item, and Hidden ( Hidden) subitem. The game controller 240 performs a different function depending on which subitem is selected from a Choice sub-join, a Joker sub-item, and a Hidden sub-item. The selection of the sub-item, for example, may be simply selected with the seventh, eighth and ninth keys on the keyboard, for example, the double skin subitem, the threepy subitem and the magnifying glass subitem.

6 and 7, before starting the poker game, it is necessary to know which sub-item the specific participant who has been identified as using the change card item 700 owned by the user himself has selected. Accordingly, the change card item manager 230 selects a Choice sub item, a Joker sub item, and a Hidden sub item for each specific participant identified as using the change card item 700 owned by the user. Checking the selected sub-item among a plurality of sub-items including a game automatically starts. The identification of the sub-item is performed by receiving usage information on the selected sub-item from the user's terminal. If the sub-item is not used, the usage information on the specific sub-item is not received for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds). If not, the change card item itself is not used, or even if it is used, the game starts automatically by randomly selecting sub-items.

For a specific participant who has selected the Choice sub item, the game controller 240 additionally issues one card to the user selection method or the automatic selection method. Handle the discard process with automatic selection.

Referring to FIG. 6, for example, in Seven Poker, which pays a total of seven cards to each participant, four or three cards are divided in advance. In this case, for a specific participant using the Choice sub-item, Like any other participant, four or three cards are dealt in advance, and an additional card is awarded. Instead, discard the one card that you think is the least needed from the four or three cards that you gave in advance, by user selection, or if you do not receive a response from the user's terminal for a certain period of time (for example, two seconds) Considering this, one card is automatically selected and discarded. The process of playing the game, such as opening a card (either by user selection or automatic selection), betting, and paying additional cards, is the same as that of the usual Seven Poker. do. When the game is completed, the final winner is given a change card item used during the game. At this time, the durability of the paid change card item is reduced by a certain ratio (for example, 2%).

Fig. 8 shows one card which is determined to be the least necessary among the four or three cards which are pre-assigned to the user selection or the automatic selection after the additional one card is paid to a specific participant using the Choice sub-item. Is a diagram showing 810 that a discarding procedure is displayed on a particular participant's terminal. 8 shows that Clova Q has been selected and discarded, and then selecting 820 the card to be opened.

If there is no response from the user's terminal for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds), one card is automatically selected and discarded at random or considering another card.

In addition, for a specific participant who has selected the joker sub item, the game controller 240 divides one card among all the cards to be paid per person for the poker game as the joker card. At this time, the game control unit 240 divides one of the cards to be paid per person for the poker game as a joker card, and then changes the paid joker card to the most advantageous specific card based on the poker genealogy information. Can be.

Referring to FIG. 6, for example, in Seven Poker, a sixth card (six ball card) out of seven cards to be paid per person for a poker game is selected to a specific participant who selects a joker sub item as a joker card. You can pay, check the remaining cards except the Joker card, and if you can straighten the first card, you can change to the most advantageous one card, considering the poker genealogy. After the game progression, the outcome is decided and the game is completed. When the game is completed, the final winner is given a change card item used during the game. At this time, the durability of the paid change card item is reduced by a certain ratio (for example, 2%).

9 shows that the joker card 900 is paid to the specific participant who selected the joker sub item as the sixth card (six ball card) on the terminal of the specific participant.

In addition, for a specific participant who selects the hidden sub-item, the game controller 240 additionally provides one hidden card after distributing all the cards to be paid per person for the poker game.

Referring to FIG. 6, for example, in Seven Poker, after all seven cards that are to be paid per person for a poker game are distributed to all participants, one hidden card (8) is selected for a specific player who selects a hidden sub item. Old card). In other words, one additional hidden card is paid in the last race. Therefore, a specific participant who selects a hidden sub item may be advantageous over other players by betting or determining a total of eight cards including one additional hidden card. After the game progression, the outcome is decided and the game is completed. When the game is completed, the final winner is given a change card item used during the game. At this time, the durability of the paid change card item is reduced by a certain ratio (for example, 2%).

Next, when the game provided by the game server 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a high-stop game, the game method will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. FIG. 10 illustrates the overall process of the game when the game provided by the game server 110 is a high-stop game, and FIG. 11 illustrates a change card on a terminal of a specific participant holding a change card item. A diagram illustrating selecting a sub item in the system.

10 and 11, the plurality of sub-items included in the change card item 1100 that may be applied in the high-stop game may include, for example, a double blood sub-item, a three-pie sub-item, and a magnifying glass sub-item. have. The game controller 240 performs different functions depending on which subitem among the double blood sub-item, the threepy sub-item, and the magnifying glass sub-item. The selection of the sub-item, for example, may be simply selected with the seventh, eighth and ninth keys on the keyboard, for example, the double skin subitem, the threepy subitem and the magnifying glass subitem.

10 and 11, first, before starting a game, it is necessary to know which sub-item has been selected by a particular participant who is identified as using the change card item 1100 owned by the user. Accordingly, the change card item management unit 230 of the game server 110 includes a plurality of sub-items, three p-sub items, and a magnifying glass sub-item for each specific participant identified as using the change-card item owned by the user. The game starts automatically after checking the selected sub item. The identification of such sub-items is performed by receiving usage information on the selected sub-item from the user's terminal. If the usage information is not received for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds), the specific participant is sent to the specific participant. If you do not apply a change card item, or automatically apply any sub-items automatically start the game.

For a specific participant who has selected the double blood sub-item, the game controller 240 divides one hand of all hands that must be paid per person for the high-stop game into double blood.

Referring to FIG. 10, for example, assuming that the GoStop game is a hit game where two participants play the game, the general participant who is not the specific participant who has selected the double blood sub-item must receive all the losses, that is, 10 While a player may randomly receive a hand of a chapter, a particular player who chooses a double-skin sub-item receives 10 cards that must include one of the double skins. Thereafter, when the high-stop game is played and the final winner is determined and the game is completed, the final winner is given a change card item used during the game. At this time, the durability of the paid change card item is reduced by a certain ratio (for example, 2%).

In addition, for a specific participant who selects the three-pi sub-item, the game controller 240 divides one of the three cards to be paid per person for the high-stop game into three-page.

Referring to FIG. 10, for example, assuming that three participants are playing a high-stop game, all the general players, that is, seven cards, are required to be paid per person by two general participants who are not specific participants who have selected the 3P sub-item. Will be randomly paid, but a particular player who chooses a 3P sub-item will receive 7 cards containing 1 pair of blood. Thereafter, when the high-stop game is played and the final winner is determined and the game is completed, the final winner is given a change card item used during the game. At this time, the durability of the paid change card item is reduced by a certain ratio (for example, 2%).

Referring to FIG. 10, when a specific participant selects a magnifier sub item, a specific participant who selects a magnifier sub item is in a situation in which it is advantageous to the user when he or she knows what piles are stacked during the game. You can use the Magnifier sub item. The game controller 240 receives application indication information of the magnifying glass sub-item from the terminal of the specific participant who selected the magnifying glass sub-item, and informs the terminal of information of one of the stacked tiles. At this time, the magnifier image is displayed on the stacked hands. Thereafter, when the high-stop game is played and the final winner is determined and the game is completed, the final winner is given a change card item used during the game. At this time, the durability of the paid change card item is reduced by a certain ratio (for example, 2%).

On the other hand, the change card item management unit 230 described above, if a participant who has a change card item for one of the game of a poker game, a high-stop game, and a RPG (Role Playing Game) plays another game, one game that is previously held Allows you to convert a change card item for a game into a change card item for another game.
