1, the game service system may include at least two portable terminals 110A and 110B, a network 120, a game server 130, and a game DB 140, and the like.

First, the portable terminals 110A and 110B are connected to a communication terminal (e.g., a cellular phone, a smart phone, a PMP, a smart pad, a smart book, a tablet terminal, a pod terminal or the like) Game terminals, and the like. Users of the mobile terminals can load (mount) an online game application (mobile app) based on matching between users on a mobile terminal, 130 or a time difference matching game service (or an asynchronous matching game service).

In this case, the time difference matching game service is a service in which the two people who are performing the speed quiz game proceed to play games of the users (past user and current user) at different time zones, The result of the trailing game of the current user) to judge whether or not to win or lose.

The portable terminal 110A is defined as a past user terminal (or a past game participant terminal) that executes the unlocking of the matching game first, and the portable terminal 110B first determines whether the unlocking game (Or the current game participant terminal) that proceeds with the time difference matching game (or the asynchronous matching game) by using the game execution result of the executed past user (or past game participant).

The network 120 may be any one of a second generation (2G) communication network, a third generation (3G) communication network, a fourth generation (4G) communication network, a fifth generation (5G) communication network and a next generation communication network, And a wired communication network and a short-range wireless communication network (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.) including a wired Internet and the like.

Next, the game server 130 provides a real-time matching game service to the users of the portable terminals 110A and 110B or provides a first unpacking service of the matching game through interlocking with the game DB 140, And providing a time difference matching game service using the game execution result of the past user executed in the past.

The game DB 140 may include a user information DB 142, a quiz content DB 144 and a game history DB 146. The user information DB 142 may include a user ID User information such as name, sex, age, area, hobby, specialty, portable terminal number, game level, etc. may be stored for the users. At this time, the game level may include at least one of quiz theme level, sex level, age level, and area level.

The quiz contents DB 144 may store quiz information (or a group of quizzes) composed of a plurality of quiz questions. The quiz information may be grouped into quiz questions subdivided by theme, field, and region Group). Here, the quiz problem can mean a speed quiz problem in which the game is won or lost depending on the time required.

The game history DB 146 stores a matching game result for each user (each game service member), a preceding game result by first unpacking, a time difference matching game result obtained through a time difference matching game between the current user and the past user And can be stored so as to be able to be classified (classified) by the delimiter information of each user.

Here, the matching game result and the time difference matching game result may include, for example, information on individual quiz winners and losers, comprehensive quiz winners and losers, information on time required for each quiz problem, and the like.

To this end, the game server 130 may be configured to provide the online service to the users of the portable terminal, for example, a first unpacking service of the matching game and a time difference matching game service using the game execution result of the past user, 2 as shown in FIG.

The server management unit 131, the game environment providing unit 133, the game interface providing unit 135, the game managing unit 137, A game history providing unit 139, and the like.

Referring to FIG. 2, the server management unit 131 manages the registration and termination of a game service member, the change of user information, the authentication of the user (login), the management of the quiz contents (new registration of quiz contents, And the like), and the like.

Next, the game environment provisioning unit 133 generates quiz information including at least one quiz problem when user matching (real-time matching of a game opponent based on a game level of each user) to an online game based on 1: From the quiz content DB 144 and simultaneously providing the two users matched to the game (the game applicant and the opponent). Here, the real-time matching between users using the game level can minimize the matching time by using, for example, a structure of an AVL tree (Adelson-Velskil and Landis tree) which is a kind of balanced binary search tree.

Also, the game environment providing unit 133 may be configured such that when a past user (for example, 110A) executing the unpacking matches the time difference matching game (or asynchronous matching game) of the current user (e.g., 110B) (Quiz information including at least one quiz problem) from the quiz contents DB 144 and providing the quiz information to the current user terminal through the same interface as the real-time game.

Here, the past users who match the current user for the time difference matching game are automatically determined according to the current user's game level and the past user's game level, for example, a past user having the same game level or a game level? Can be determined.

The game interface providing unit 135 provides a quiz game interface (real-time game interface) for executing a matching game based on the quiz information to two users matched with each other when the matching game is determined, Providing a quiz game interface for executing a time difference matching game between a current user and a past user on the same interface as a real-time game based on a preceding game result and a quiz information of a past user when past time users are matched in time For this, the game interface providing unit 135 may include a configuration as shown in FIG. 3 as an example.

Here, even if the current user is matched with the past user and the time difference matching game progresses, since the match game is played with the same user interface as that of the matching game which is actually matched with another current user, (I.e., the current user is recognized as a real-time matching in spite of the time difference matching with the past user), so that the game users can receive a special but differentiated experience.

FIG. 3 is a detailed configuration diagram of the game interface providing unit shown in FIG. 2, and may include an individual winner determining unit 1352, a comprehensive winner determining unit 1354, an information transmitting unit 1356, and the like.

Referring to FIG. 3, the individual winner determining unit 1352 determines, as an individual quiz winner, a user who has matched the correct answer of the quiz problem between the current user and the past user as the progress of the time difference matching game, If all of the answers to the quiz problem are met, the user who answered the correct answer first can be determined as the individual quiz winner.

To this end, the individual winner determining unit 1352 determines the time required for the current user to solve one quiz problem in the quiz information displayed (displayed) on the screen of his / her portable terminal and the past user's solution to the quiz problem (The current user or the past user) whose pool is relatively short in the required time, as an individual quiz winner, and transmits the determined result to the information transmitting unit 1356. [

When the solving of the quiz questions in the quiz information is completed, the general winner judging unit 1354 judges whether any one of the current user and the past user based on the number of winners per quiz It is possible to provide a function of determining the winner of the overall quiz and delivering it to the information transmission unit 1356.

For example, if there are 20 quiz questions in the quiz information, the current user wins 11, and the past user wins 9, the current user will be determined as the overall quiz winner.

The information transmission unit 1356 transmits the individual quiz winner information transmitted from the individual winner determination unit 1352 and the overall quiz winner information from the overall winner determination unit 1354 to the network 120 for display on the portable terminal And transmitting the data to the current user terminal.

Therefore, every time the current user solves the quiz problem, the current user terminal, for example, the portable terminal 110B, automatically displays (displays) whether the user is the winner or the past user is the winner, The time difference matching game can recognize whether or not the quiz is won or lost in real time, and when the game of all the quiz questions included in the quiz information in progress is completed, a general quiz provided from the game server and displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 110B It is possible to recognize in real time whether or not the game is won or lost in the time difference matching game played by the player by viewing the winner information.

2, the game management unit 137 stores the time difference matching game result in the game history DB 146 in the game DB 140 when the time difference matching game between the current user and the past user ends, Function can be provided. Here, the time difference matching game result may include, for example, information on individual quiz winners and losers, comprehensive quiz winners and losers, information on time required for each quiz problem, and the like.

When the time difference matching game between the current user and the past user ends, the game history providing unit 139 generates a time difference game history message including a time difference matching game result, , 110A, and so forth.

Here, the time difference game history message transmitted to the past user includes information on the individual quiz winner and the overall quiz winner, the time required for the past user to solve the quiz problem, and the time required for the current user to solve the quiz problem Information, and the like, and may also include identifier information and game level information of the current user who competed against the past user. At this time, the game level information may include at least one of the current user's quiz theme level, sex level, age level, and region level, for example.

In addition, the time difference game history message transmitted to the past user includes a history of conversation between the two parties, a re-challenge request button for a rematch with the current user, a message enabling a desired message to be sent to the other party, I show my score and the score of the opponent's score on each of the questions that have been taken in the quiz showdown. A graph, a quiz showdown, and the like.

Next, a series of processes for providing a time difference matching game service between the current user and the past user using the online game device according to the present embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described in detail.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a main procedure in which a user who is connected to a game server according to the present invention performs a matching game or first unpacking.

Referring to FIG. 4, when a user accesses (logs in) the game server 130, the game environment providing unit 133 provides a game screen including items for selecting a matching game to the portable terminal of the user 402).

Thereafter, when the user (the game applicant) selects the start of the matching game (application of the matching game) (Step 404), the game environment providing unit 133 requests the game level of the game applicant and the waiting game By searching for a game opponent by comparing game levels (step 406), it is checked whether the game opponent is real-time matching (step 408).

Here, the game-level matching between the game applicant and the waiters may be performed for a predetermined time (e.g., 5 seconds, 8 seconds, 10 seconds, etc.) (step 410). In step 410, n denotes a preset predetermined time, and t denotes elapsed time since the game applicant has selected to start the game.

Here, the opponent matched to the game applicant may be determined to have the same game level as the game level of the game applicant, or a standby level of the game level 1.

When there are a plurality of waiters having the same game level as the game applicant, the game opponent can be determined (selected) by any one or two or more of gender priority, age priority, and region priority. Lt; / RTI >

If it is determined in step 408 that the game opponent is real-time matched, the game environment provider 133 retrieves quiz information including at least one quiz question from the quiz content DB 144, The game interface providing unit 135 provides a quiz game interface for executing a matching game based on the quiz information to two users matched to the game, A matching game using a quiz problem (speed quiz problem) is performed (step 412).

When the matching game between the two users ends, the game management unit 137 stores the matching game result in the game history DB 146 in the game DB 140 (step 414). Here, the matching game result may be immediately reflected in the game levels of the two users or may be reflected at a predetermined time and date. At this time, the matching game result may include, for example, information on individual quiz winners and losers, comprehensive quiz winners and losers, information on time required for each quiz problem, and the like.

If it is determined in step 410 that the elapsed time t counted after the game applicant has selected the game start has reached the preset predetermined time n, As shown in FIG. 6A, first, a first unlocking guide screen including an item (for example, "unlocking first and waiting for a player") to be unlocked is provided to the game applicant (step 416) The user can first apply (determine) the unpacking (step 418) through selection (click) of an item that can be unpacked first.

As a result of the checking in the step 418, if the game applicant selects to solve the game first, the game environment providing unit 133 retrieves the quiz information including at least one quiz question from the quiz contents DB 144, The game interface providing unit 135 provides a quiz game interface for first executing the unfolding process of the game applicant based on the quiz information, that is, a quiz game interface such as shown in FIG. 6B As a result, the first unpacking game by the game applicant is executed (step 420).

Here, when the game applicant first selects to unpack, the game applicant may be defined as a past user. The game applicant (past user) who is going to solve the problem first, as shown in Fig. 6B as an example, (E.g., a stopwatch displayed in the upper center portion of FIG. 6B) until a correct answer is selected (submitted) can be provided in real time, Past users can enjoy the fun and tension of playing the quiz game as well as enjoy the pleasure of matching games such as predicting the future win or loss based on the score they have acquired.

In addition, unlike the above, it is needless to say that the present invention allows the game applicant to select only the first unlocking method in a manner of directly selecting the unlocking operation without waiting for automatic matching with other users.

When the unpacking game ends first (step 422), the game management unit 137 stores the game result (preceding game result) that has been unpacked first in the game history DB 146 in the game DB 140 424). At this time, the ending screen of the unlocking first as shown in FIG. 6C can be displayed as an example in the game applicant terminal that has been unlocked first. Here, the preceding game result may include, for example, information on time required for each quiz problem.

At this time, on the end screen of the unpacking, for example, a guiding phrase such as "If the other party releases the result, the result will be announced ", etc. can be displayed, and the game player (past user) The fact that the game will be confronted with the current user at a later time (at some point in the future) and the fact that the outcome of the match will be provided to the user when the match is determined, And the fact that it will be reflected in the ranking.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a main procedure for advancing a time difference matching game using a result of a prior game that has been executed in accordance with the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, when a user accesses (logs in) to the game server 130, the game environment provider 133 provides a game screen including items for selecting a matching game to the user's portable terminal Step 502).

Thereafter, when the user (game applicant) selects the start of the matching game (application of matching game) (step 504), the game environment providing unit 133 requests the game level of the game applicant and the waiting game (Step 506) within a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) by comparing the game levels (step 506). At this time, the user terminal that has applied for the matching game is set to the optimum A screen showing that a partner is being sought can be displayed.

If it is determined in step 506 that the game opponent is real-time matched, the game environment provider 133 retrieves quiz information including at least one quiz problem from the quiz content DB 144, The game interface providing unit 135 provides a quiz game interface (real-time charging interface) for executing a matching game based on the quiz information to two users matched to the game, As a result, a matching game using the quiz problem (speed quiz problem) is performed between the two users (step 508).

When the matching game between the two users ends, the game management unit 137 stores the matching game result in the game history DB 146 in the game DB 140 (step 510). Here, the matching game result may be immediately reflected in the game levels of the two users or may be reflected at a predetermined time and date. At this time, the matching game result may include, for example, information on individual quiz winners and losers, comprehensive quiz winners and losers, information on time required for each quiz problem, and the like.

Next, if the real-time matching is not performed within a predetermined time, in step 512, the player compares the game level of the game applicant with the game level of the past users who have performed the unfolding first. Here, when any one of the past users who have first executed the unlocking matches with the game, the game applicant can be defined as the current user.

At this time, for example, as shown in FIG. 7B, a screen showing the information of the optimum opponent may be displayed on the terminal of the current user having the time difference matching.

That is, according to the present invention, when real-time matching with any one of the game waiters is attempted first, and when real-time matching fails within a preset predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) .

Thereafter, the game environment providing unit 133 extracts quiz information (quiz information including at least one quiz question) released from the past user from the quiz contents DB 144 and provides it to the current user, 135 provides a quiz game interface for executing a time difference matching game based on the quiz information, i.e., a problem screen of a matching game as shown in FIG. 7C as an example. Since they are provided with the same interface, the current user experiences a real-time matching game (real-time match).

Here, the past user matched to the current user may be determined to be one of the game users having the same game level as the current user, or one of the past users having the game level 1.

When there are a plurality of past users having the same game level as the current user, a past user can be selected (selected) by any one or more combinations of gender priority, age priority, and region priority. Lt; / RTI >

That is, if a quiz problem is presented on the screen of the current user terminal according to the quiz game interface (terminal screen presentation) (step 514), the current user can solve the quiz problem (step 516) The individual winner determining unit 1352 in the game interface providing unit 135 determines the time required for the current user to solve the quiz problem and the time required for the past user to solve the quiz problem, (Current user or past user) whose pool has a relatively short time required by comparing the required time is determined as the individual quiz winner, and the determination result is provided to the current user terminal (for example, 110B) and displayed on the terminal screen 518). Therefore, the current user can recognize (check) whether or not he or she has won or lost against the past user for the quiz problem in real time.

Next, at step 520, it is checked whether there is a quiz problem remaining in the quiz information. For example, if it is assumed that 20 quiz questions are bundled in the quiz information, whether or not all 20 quiz questions are solved Check.

If it is determined that the quiz problem has been solved (the end of the time difference matching game) as a result of the check in the step 520, the overall winner judging unit 1354 in the game interface providing unit 135 calculates The user and the past user are determined as a general quiz winner, and the determination result is provided to the current user terminal and displayed on the terminal screen (step 522). At this time, for example, the end screen of the time difference matching game as shown in FIG. 7D can be displayed on the user terminal of the current user.

Accordingly, the current user can recognize (check) whether or not he or she has won or lost against the past user for the time difference matching game he applied.

When the time difference matching game between the current user and the past user ends, the game management unit 137 stores the time difference matching game result in the game history DB 146 in the game DB 140 (step 524). Here, the time difference matching game result may include, for example, information on individual quiz winners and losers, comprehensive quiz winners and losers, information on time required for each quiz problem, and the like.

Then, the game history providing unit 139 generates a time difference game history message including a time difference matching game result, and transmits the time difference game history message to the past user terminal (e.g., 110A) through the network 120 (step 526). Here, the time difference game history message may be transmitted to the past user terminal by any one of SMS, MMS, and E-mail.

Accordingly, the past user who has previously performed the unlocking operation in the past time can recognize (determine) whether or not to win or lose the time difference matching game with the current user.
