2 is a block diagram of a game server 100 for providing a game using an item according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the game server 100 providing a game using an item according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an item manager 210 for storing and managing a plurality of items obtainable through a capsule, and a plurality of items. Capsule management unit 220 corresponding to a specific item among a plurality of capsules with a representative item among the plurality of capsules, and if a capsule lottery request is received from the terminal 110, one of the plurality of capsules is extracted, and as a result of the extraction, the plurality of capsules When a specific capsule is extracted, the representative item corresponding to the specific capsule is stored in the DB 250 as an acquisition item, and when a capsule other than the specific capsule is extracted from the plurality of capsules, one of the remaining items except the representative item among the plurality of items is extracted. The capsule machine unit 230 which selects the above and stores it in the DB 250 as an acquired item and represents a specific item among a plurality of items. When set to the system, representing the item change event is recognized includes a representative item setting section 240 is set such that by changing the other particular item as a representative item.

As described above, the capsule machine unit 230 provides a capsule machine function in which a user obtains an item through a capsule extracted from the capsule machine.

In providing the capsule machine function, in order to inform the user of the representative item that can be obtained through the capsule machine, the capsule machine unit 230 may obtain the capsule machine image for the capsule machine and the capsule machine. The representative item image for the representative item may be controlled to be displayed on the capsule machine use page which can be checked by the user.

The capsule machine unit 230 is specified by the representative item setting unit 240 when the other specific item is changed and set as the representative item, that is, when the representative item is changed from the specific item to another specific item, the capsule machine use page is specified. The representative item image, which was displayed as the image of the item, may be controlled to be displayed by being changed to the image of another specific item.

The capsule machine unit 230 is the total number of capsules initially included in the capsule machine (that is, the total number of capsules included when none of the capsules were extracted from the capsule machine), and the capsule is changed according to extraction. Information on the number of capsules remaining can be displayed on the Capsule Machine Usage page.

Meanwhile, the plurality of items managed by the item manager 210 may include a plurality of items of the same kind, at least one item of the plurality of items may be different from the remaining items, and all of the plurality of items may be different kinds of items. Can be.

In addition, all of the plurality of items managed by the item manager 210 may be set as the representative item, or only a certain number of items among the plurality of items may be set as the representative item.

If only a predetermined number of items among the plurality of items managed by the item manager 210 may be set as the representative item, the representative item setting unit 240 may set specific items that can be set as the representative item among the plurality of items. When the information on the representative item change event is recognized and other representative items can be set as the representative item, a specific item can be set as the representative item. That is, when the representative item change event is recognized, the representative item setting unit 240 may be set by changing the representative item from one specific item to another specific item. Here, the specific item and the other specific item are managed as items that can be set as the representative item.

Meanwhile, the representative item setting unit 240 adjusts the number of specific items that can be set as a representative item among the plurality of items in relation to the representative item management function, or sets a new item that can be set as the representative item to the plurality of items. New items may be added or specific items that can be set as representative items may be deleted from a plurality of items.

The representative item setting unit 240 is an example of adding a new item that can be set as a representative item to a plurality of items, for example, a predetermined period (for example, last week or last month) for each character that can be obtained through the use of the item. Acquires in-game activity information as game-related information, and checks a character whose acquired in-game activity information is higher than a certain level or a character having the highest in-game activity information, such as a player in a sports game. Etc.) can be newly added to a plurality of previously managed items.

Meanwhile, the aforementioned representative item setting unit 240 may limit the changeable number of representative items to a predefined value. For example, when the number of change of the representative item is limited to three times, the representative item is changed only up to three times, and then, after all the representative items are acquired, the corresponding capsule machine may be initialized. Here, the initialization of the capsule machine means resetting information about the total number of capsules, the number of remaining capsules, and the representative item to an initialization value.

Meanwhile, the representative item setting unit 240 may differently control the representative item setting probability for each of the specific items that can be set as the representative item.

Meanwhile, although the representative item setting unit 240 may set the number of specific capsules corresponding to the representative item among the plurality of items to one, in some cases, the representative item setting unit 240 sets the number of specific capsules corresponding to the representative item among the plurality of items. By adjusting according to the remaining number of capsules, it is possible to control the representative item acquisition probability.

For example, as the representative item setting unit 240 extracts a capsule that does not correspond to the representative item, the representative item acquisition probability is gradually increased, so that the representative item acquisition probability is kept constant or lowered without being increased. The number of remaining capsules may be adjusted, and the number of specific capsules corresponding to the representative item may be adjusted according to the number of remaining capsules.

Meanwhile, the capsule machine unit 230 may stop using the capsule machine once all of the specific items that can set the representative item are obtained through the capsule.

Meanwhile, the representative item setting unit 240 changes the representative item by recognizing the representative item change event. For example, the representative item change event recognition is as follows.

For example, the representative item setting unit 240 recognizes the representative item change event when a specific capsule corresponding to the representative item is extracted from the plurality of capsules, or recognizes the representative item change event for each predetermined representative item change cycle. Alternatively, the representative item change event may be recognized according to a change in game related information.

If the representative item setting unit 240 recognizes the representative item change event when the specific capsule corresponding to the representative item is extracted from the plurality of capsules, the representative item setting unit 240 determines the specific capsule corresponding to the representative item. After this is extracted, the representative item can be set again each time.

For example, the specific items that can be set as the representative item include an A1 item, an A2 item, an A3 item, an A4 item, an A1 item is set as the representative item, and a specific capsule corresponding to the A1 item is extracted to the user. When the A1 item is obtained, the representative item setting unit 240 may select one of other specific items (A2 item, A3 item, A4 item) that can be set as the representative item and set it as the representative item. At this time, the representative item setting probability in which each of the A2 item, the A3 item, and the A4 item is set as the representative item may be different.

If the representative item setting unit 240 recognizes the representative item change event at every predetermined change period, the representative item setting unit 240 sets the specific items that can be set as the representative items among a plurality of items in a predetermined rotation order. Therefore, it can set as a representative item sequentially every change cycle. In this case, the representative item setting unit 240 may change the rotation order of the specific items that can be set as the representative item.

For example, specific items that can be set as the representative item include A1 item, A2 item, A3 item, A4 item, and if the change period is one day, the representative item is A1 item, A2 item, A3 item, A4 item every day. It can be changed in order of rotation.

If the representative item setting unit 240 recognizes the representative item change event according to the change in the game related information, the representative item setting unit 240 may perform a predetermined period (eg, for each character that can be obtained through the use of the item). : In-game activity information for the past week or last month) is obtained as game-related information, and the character in which the acquired in-game activity information is increased by a certain level or the in-game activity information has the highest information is identified. Other obtainable specific items can be changed and set as representative items.

When the capsule machine unit 230, other than a specific capsule, is extracted from the plurality of capsules, the capsule machine unit 230 may select one or more of the remaining items except the representative item among the plurality of items in a “random manner” and store them as an acquired item. Can be.

The capsule machine unit 230 described above may delete one or more items or add new items among the plurality of items managed by the item manager 210.
