Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a device, a system, and a method for an online game,

The present invention relates to an apparatus, system, and method for supporting a nuclear game in an online game.

Recently, various online games have been developed and many users are playing online games. Among users who enjoy online games, there are users who use software or hardware that are not allowed in the game in order to occupy superior position in the game than other users such as obtaining goods or leveling up.

In this specification, various software and hardware that are not allowed in the game are collectively referred to as a hack tool.

Unlike the developer's intention, the use of a nuclear tool can cause the game server to overload while breaking the balance between users in the game. Nucleool is a burden on the server due to automatic hunting or memory modification depending on its kind, and it can lose the persistence of game service or accelerate the development of new contents because it has a characteristic that it can rapidly consume game contents, .

Some nuclear tools are categorized as fatal by their effects. For example, in a First-Person Shooter (FPS) game against a 5: 5 player, a nuclear tool that can kill all five opponents at one time is classified as fatal because it can not compete fairly. In the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG), mass production of items that can be sold by a user using a bot causes the economy of the game to decline by reducing the benefit of the normal user relatively. And can ultimately lead to a user's deviation (withdrawal of the game), which is classified as fatal. In the case of racing games, in case of nuclear tool or casual game, which improves the speed of the vehicle abnormally, the nuclear tool which can obtain abnormal high score can be classified as fatal. .

Game service providers are introducing game security programs or developing themselves to prevent the use of nuclear tools. The game is generally executed through a game client which can call and run a game security program before executing the game.

The game security program can stop the game client from running if the hulk tool is activated. However, such sanctions are not always effective. There is a case where the game is run after the game is executed, or the game is executed by avoiding the timing of diagnosis. However, even if the game tool is executed after the game client is executed, If the technique is bypassed, it can not be diagnosed.

On the other hand, there are many cases in which a game service provider aims at securing a large number of users due to the characteristics of an online game, and sometimes the use of a nuclear tool is temporary. In this case, the security program detects the use of the hack tool, generates a log related to the use of the hack tool, records it in the log server, or generates a log file containing the diagnosis details. In this way, the game master uses the log file including the diagnosis history to individually deal with the user of the nuclear tool, and human resources are consumed.

An object of the present invention is to provide a nokulool countermeasure apparatus for an online game in which a character of a nokul user can automatically respond to the use of a nokul tool in a game.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for responding to a nucleus tool of an on-line game, the apparatus comprising: a nucleus information receiver for receiving information including a game ID of the nucleus tool and a nucleus diagnosis diagnosis of the game ID; A character information providing unit for providing information on a character corresponding to the game ID to a non-player character (NPC); And a controller for controlling an action of the NPC on the character according to the nuclear tool diagnosis history.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the diagnosis history includes at least one of whether to use a nuclear tool, terminal operating system information used by a user corresponding to the game ID, a nucleus execution path, a nucleus process name, a diagnosis date, .

In one embodiment of the present invention, the action of the NPC on the character may include disabling damage to the character, forcing the character to move to a specific space within the game, restricting movement of the character, And / or < / RTI >

In one embodiment of the present invention, the controller controls the NPC to count the number of nuclear tool execution of the character, and when the number of nuclear tool execution times is more than a threshold value or the kind of the nuclear tool is fatal, You can control it differently.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The present invention is capable of various modifications and various embodiments, and specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in the detailed description. It is to be understood, however, that the invention is not to be limited to the specific embodiments, but includes all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present invention, the same reference numerals are used for the same means regardless of the number of the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an online game countermeasure apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, an online game countermeasure apparatus 100 includes a hit counter information receiving unit 110, a character information providing unit 120, a control unit 130, and a database unit 140.

The nuclear-powered device 100 of an online game may be configured in a server that provides the online game. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited in this manner, and can be configured in various ways. For example, it may be a separate server in addition to the server that provides the corresponding online game.

The nucle tool information receiving unit 110 receives the information including the game ID of the nucleus tool and the nucleus diagnostic history of the corresponding game ID.

At this time, the detection of the use of the nuclear tool can be detected by the security program executed in connection with the game client at the game executing terminal.

The nuclear tool diagnostic details received by the nuclear tool information receiving unit 110 include information on whether to use a nuclear tool, operating system information of a user terminal corresponding to the game ID, a nucleus execution path, a nucleus process name, a diagnosis date, And may include at least any one of them.

Whether or not to use a nuclear tool is information on whether the terminal using the currently connected game ID uses a nuclear tool-related program separately from the game execution. The operating system information is information about the operating system such as Windows, Linux, and the like, where the terminal using the game ID is. The execution path of a nuclear tool is information such as a directory where a nuclear tool program is executed, a memory location, and the like. Nucleus process names are for distinguishing between different nuclear tools.

The cumulative execution count of nuclear tools is the sum of the number of times of use of the nuclear tool acquired by the security program for the game ID. A separate database server may be configured to store the nuclear tool diagnostic information for each game ID in order to record the cumulative execution count of the nuclear tool.

The character information providing unit 120 grasps the character information of the currently connected game ID and provides the character information to the non-player character (NPC).

The character information providing unit 120 can recognize the character information through the information recorded in the database unit 140. [

The NPC is an object appearing in the game, and interacts with the character of the game ID, that is, the character possessed by the game user, such as dialogue, instruction, compensation, and battle.

The NPC may be, for example, a quest provider, a merchant, or a monster who can communicate through a character in the game.

On the other hand, a character generated for each game ID may have a unique number for identifying it. Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present invention, the character information providing unit 120 may provide the NPC with character information including a unique number for identifying the character for the game ID in which the use of the nuclear tool is detected.

In the present invention, providing the character information to the NPC means that the NPC uses the unique number of the character as the previous stage of the control for performing a behavior different from usual (i.e., a countermeasure against use of the nuclear tool) Is recognized. This can be accomplished by updating the unique number list of the nuclear tool character associated with the NPC. The NPC may take a different action from the character for the game ID that does not use the nuclear tool for the nuclear tool using character in which the unique number is recorded.

The controller 130 controls the behavior of the character of the NPC.

The control unit 130 may control the behavior of the NPC's character in a manner that sets an action mode for the character of the game ID in which the NPC detects the use of the nuclear tool. In this case, the NPC takes action on the character according to a predetermined behavior. This is a different behavior from the behavior of the character of the normal user.

The action of the NPC on the character may be at least one of invalidating the damage of the character, forcibly moving the character to a specific space in the game, restricting movement of the character, and changing the status of the character.

For example, with respect to the character of the normal user, the NPC taking the conversation and compensation can take the action of summoning the character of the game ID in which the use of the nuke tool is detected to the prison.

As another example, the NPC taking an attack with the attack power set for the character of the normal user can take an action to attack the character of the game ID in which the use of the nuke tool is detected, with an attack strength 10 times stronger than the set attack power.

The control unit 130 may control the behavior of the character of the NPC differently according to the diagnosis history.

For example, if the core tool process is aimed at nurturing a character, the controller 130 may control the NPC to change the status of the character to a point prior to the nuclear tool detection time.

As another example, the control unit 130 may control the monster to invalidate the damage of the character if the core tool process adjusts the damage of the character.

The control unit 130 may control the NPC to count the number of execution times of the nucleus tool of the character. The NPC can count the number of hacking attempts separately from the security program in various ways, such as detecting abnormal behavior of the character or detecting a specific pattern. For example, a monster can count the number of hacking attempts by determining whether the damage of the opponent character is out of the allowed range, the attack pattern of the opponent character is the same every time, and so on.

The number of execution times of the nucleus tool may be counted separately from the number of execution times of the nucleus tool in the diagnostic history, or may be added to the number of execution times of the received nucleus tool.

The control unit 130 may control the behavior of the NPC character differently when the number of nucleus tool execution times is equal to or greater than a preset threshold value. For example, the control unit 130 may control the NPC to give a warning message to the character if the number of nucleus tool execution times is less than 10 times. The control unit 130 can control the NPC so that the character is summoned to the prison and locked for a predetermined period if the number of execution of the nucleus tool is 100 or more.

The database unit 140 may record the game ID, the character corresponding to the game ID, the diagnosis history, and the like, and may provide it to the character information providing unit 120 or the control unit 130, if necessary.

FIG. 2 is a view illustrating a system for responding to a nucleus of an online game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the online game game supporting system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of servers 100-1 to 100-3 and a game executing terminal 200. As shown in FIG.

The plurality of servers 100-1 to 100-3 may include the above-described hoolool information receiving unit 110, the character information providing unit 120, the control unit 130, and the database unit 140, respectively.

The purpose of constructing a plurality of servers 100 may be to distribute data exchange with a very large number of users in providing game services. The purpose of configuring the server 100 in plurality may be to provide services for different zones in the game, respectively. In an embodiment of the present invention, the number of servers 100-1 to 100-3 is an example, and the server can be configured in various numbers and kinds.

The servers 100-1 to 100-3 are connectable to a game executing terminal. In the embodiment of the present invention, the game executing terminal 200 can access the different servers 100-1 to 100-3 in order to enter a zone in which a character of the game ID in the game intends to enter have.

The game execution terminal 200 includes a diagnosis unit 210, a diagnostic information providing unit 220, and a game execution unit 230.

The diagnosis unit 210 detects whether a nuclear tool is used and generates a nuclear tool diagnostic history. An example of the diagnosis unit 210 is the security program described above.

There are various kinds of nuclear tools. Here are some examples.

A nuclear tool called a macro is a tool that replaces repetitive motion and can be implemented in software or hardware. Macros allow you to repeat certain actions.

Nucle Tool, called bot, is a program that automatically performs hunting and questing in a specific game in the form of a macro.

Nucleul, called wall hack, is a program that allows you to view enemy characters through the wall in an FPS game, modulating the memory associated with the 3D image.

Nucle Tool, called speed hack, manipulates the speed by controlling the game client's time function or CPU operation speed.

NukeTool, called auto aim hack, is a program that automatically catches target points when attacking enemies in the game.

Nucleool, called memory edit hack, manipulates the contents of the game by manipulating memory and manipulating attack power and defense when the game is executed.

The security program is designed to detect the use of nuclear tools as above.

A method for a security program to detect a nuclear tool may be to detect an attempt to hook the application program interface (API).

In addition, the security program can pattern a unique Binary Hex Code in a nuclear tool and database it, and detect a nuclear tool by scanning the newly detected Binary Hex Code to match patterns in the database.

The security program can also use a debugger to analyze game clients and diagnose nuclear tool usage. That is, it checks the name of the debugger or determines whether or not the current game client is in the debug state, and diagnoses whether or not the game tool is used.

The operation of the diagnosis unit 210 may be performed in association with the game client. The game client may cause the diagnosis unit 210 to operate before the game is executed so that the game client can detect whether or not to use the nuclear tool in advance and terminate the game client itself when the use of the nuclear tool is detected.

However, in the case where the nuclear tool is operated after the game is executed, the diagnosis unit 210 does not stop the game or disconnect the connection to the servers 100-1 to 100-3, Create diagnostic history.

When the use of the nuclear tool is detected, the diagnostic information providing unit 220 provides the information including the nuclear tool diagnostic history of the game ID and the game ID to the servers 100-1 to 100-3 connected by the game ID do.

The diagnostic information providing unit 220 transmits the diagnosis details to the servers 100-1 to 100-3 through the same path as the path that the game executing terminal 200 connects to the servers 100-1 to 100-3 Any one of them). An example of this path is the Internet network.

The game execution unit 230 serves as a game process for executing a game. The game client allows the game execution unit 230 to be operated if the diagnosis unit 210 does not detect a nuclear tool before the game is executed.

The server 100-1 to 100-3 receives the nuclear tool diagnostic history of the game ID and the game ID, grasps the character information of the game ID, provides the character information to the NPC, and performs an action on the character of the NPC .

The behavioral control of the character of the NPC using the character information can be performed in the same manner as described in detail for the online game's nokulool counterpart.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the diagnostic information providing unit 220 may transmit the diagnosis history corresponding to the detected nuclear tool to only the servers 100-1 to 100-3 connected to the corresponding game ID So that the countermeasures against the use of the nuclear tool can be efficiently performed in the connected servers 100-1 to 100-3.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a method for responding to a nuclear game in an online game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the nuclear tool response method of the online game may be performed by the nucleus tool correspondence system of the online game including the game execution terminal 200 and the server 100 described above.

Referring to FIG. 3, in step S301, the game executing terminal 200 executes a game client. A login can be performed by inputting a game ID and a password in executing the game client.

In step S303, the game executing terminal 200 checks whether the security program has been updated to the latest version by communicating with the server 100. [ If the security program is not the latest version, the process proceeds to step S305. If the security program is the latest version, the process proceeds to step S307.

In step S305, the game executing terminal 200 downloads the security program from the server 100 to the latest version and updates the security program. The latest security program may be downloaded from the server 100 or downloaded from a separate update server.

Of course, the game executing terminal 200 can update the security program as well as the game program itself.

In step S307, the game executing terminal 200 diagnoses whether or not a nuclear tool is used. Whether to use a nuclear tool can be done in the security program. If the use of the nuclear tool is detected, the process proceeds to step S309, and if the use of the nuclear tool is not detected, the step S307 is repeated.

In step S309, the game executing terminal 200 generates a diagnostic history about the nuclear tool.

In step S311, the game executing terminal 200 provides the server 100 with information including the game ID and the nucleus tool diagnosis details.

In step S313, the server 100 provides the NPC in the game provided by the server 100 with information on the character of the game ID.

In step S315, the server 100 monitors the abnormal behavior or pattern of the character through the NPC to further diagnose whether or not the nucleus tool is used.

In step S317, the server 100 determines whether the number of execution times of the nucleus tool is equal to or greater than a preset threshold value or whether the type of the nucleus tool is critical. If the number of execution times of the nucleus tool is equal to or greater than the threshold value or the kind of the nucleus tool is critical, the process proceeds to step S319. Otherwise, the process returns to step S315. The number of execution times of the nucleus tool may be counted by counting the number of execution times of the nucleus tool after the server 100 receives the diagnosis history, or may be accumulated and counted in addition to the number of execution of the nucleus tool that is included in the diagnosis history.

In step S319, the server 100 controls the behavior of the NPC. The behavior of the NPC can be controlled differently depending on the diagnosis history or the number of nucleus tool executions. The behavior of the controlled NPC may vary depending on the operating policy and may be anomalously controlled.

The terminology used in this application is used only to describe a specific embodiment and is not intended to limit the invention. In the present application, the terms "comprises" or "having" and the like are used to specify that there is a feature, a number, a step, an operation, an element, a component or a combination thereof described in the specification, But do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.
