FIG. 3 is a view for explaining various embodiments in which an arcade game service is implemented according to an embodiment of the present invention. And FIGS. 4 and 5 are views for explaining an item dispenser and an item dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, an arcade game machine 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a charge settlement unit 110, an item ejector 120, an item dispenser 130, a button unit 140, a display unit 150 ), And a control unit 160. The arcade game service providing server 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a storage unit 310, a check unit 320, an augmentation unit 330, a control unit 340, a storage unit 350, (360), a re-issuing unit (370), an item unit (380), and a probability unit (390).

An arcade game service providing server 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention or another server (not shown) operating in conjunction with an arcade game service providing server 300 may be connected to the arcade game machine 100 and the card charging terminal 400 When the arcade game service application, program, app page, web page, or the like using the game probability algorithm is transmitted, the arcade game machine 100 and the card charging terminal 400 can be used as arcade game service applications, Pages, web pages, and so on. In addition, a service program may be executed in the arcade game machine 100 or the card charging terminal 400 by using a script executed in a web browser. Here, a web browser is a program that enables a WWW (World Wide Web) service, and is a program for receiving and displaying hypertext described in hypertext mark-up language (HTML), for example, Netscape (Netscape) An Explorer, chrome, and the like. Further, the application refers to an application on the terminal, for example, an app (app) running on a mobile terminal (smart phone).

The arcade game device 100, the arcade game service providing server 300 and the card charging terminal 400 may be connected to the network 200 through a communication object for communication with the terminal connected to the network 200. [ ≪ / RTI > The arcade game service providing server 300 can exchange data with each other through a communication object.

When the fee required for the game is input by the card or at least one payment means, the charge settlement unit 110 can execute the initial screen to subtract the charge and execute the game. At this time, the payment means is not limited to the card, but may be various types such as cash (banknotes, coins), QR code payout, app wallet, Pay Pay, bar code payout, and the like. Also, the card can be an item card (non-refundable value, game only), credit (cash value) card, credit card or cash card.

When the game user has won the game based on the predetermined game probability algorithm and the game result of the game user who controls the game, the item ejector 120 generates the item amount or time corresponding to the victory of the game, . At this time, the item card on which the item amount or time is printed may be in the form of a card, a paper which is discriminated and read by a barcode in the form of a receipt, and the embodiments may be various and not limited to the above- I will do it.

When the item card is inserted, the item putter 130 can make the amount printed on the item card non-refundable, and make the fee required for the game to be settled from the item amount printed on the item card. At this time, the item injector 130 may be integrated with the item ejector 120, or may be separately provided.

The button unit 140 can select an input required for a game from a game user and deliver it. In this case, when the display unit 150 can directly receive the input of the user with the touch pad, the button unit 140 may be deleted, but it does not exclude that both the touch pad and the button are provided.

The display unit 150 recognizes and prints the amount printed on the item card, and can output the game progress status and the result of the game.

The control unit 160 may store and drive predetermined game probability algorithms and may control each component. At this time, although the controller 160 stores the predetermined game probability algorithm and predetermined game win / loss probability, the control unit 160 may change the probability that the arcade game service providing server 300 changes in real time or periodically according to the user or the game machine, And can apply immediately. Accordingly, the control unit 160 transmits the game to the arcade game service providing server 300 whenever the game starts or whenever the user changes the game, and applies the probability of the feedback according to the transmission.

At this time, if the refund request for refunding the amount of the item card inserted in the item injector 130 is input through the button unit 140, the control unit 160 determines that the refund request can not be performed through the display unit 150 You can control to output a notification window. In other words, the amount received as an item is the result of winning the game or performing a specific mission. If the cash is refunded, the game will not be refunded in cash It should be used only for possible purposes. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is obvious that it is not excluded that a place where a legitimate gambling property such as a casino is allowed is refused.

At this time, the predetermined probability program may be a program consisting of a combination of at least one of a cooperative algorithm of a minimum-maximum game tree and a genetic algorithm, a random number generation algorithm, a binomial distribution probability density function algorithm, and an enhancement probability algorithm.

Here, the minimum-maximum game tree is based on the MINIMAX search, which means that when MAX and MIN play a game, it becomes the most desirable movement when moving from the tree to the next stage. At this time, the evaluation function is set to the most favorable value of MAX, MAX selects the one having the largest evaluation value of the end node, and the preceding node MIN selects the smallest value among the values put on MAX. The evaluation value of the starting node determined by repeating this process becomes more valuable in the trust of the position of the successor node than the application of the evaluation function directly to the position of the node.

Here, the minimum-maximum game tree is a method of decision theory that is used to minimize the maximum loss expected in a 1: 1 war game. At this time, the complete search (search for victory or defeat) in most games is practically impossible. Accordingly, a breadth-first search, a depth-first search or a heuristic method can be used, except that the termination condition must be changed. In addition, artificial termination conditions can be defined based on time limits, memory limits, or restrictions on the depth of a node in a search tree.

At this time, when the search is finished, it is necessary to find out the behavior that is estimated to be the best from the search tree. This estimate can be obtained by applying a static evaluation function to the leaf node of the search tree. The evaluation function computes the value of the leaf node. These calculations are based on various features that are thought to affect the value of a node. For example, useful features in chess include the advantages of relative words, central control, and central control by the king. When analyzing the game tree, it is most likely that the evaluation function value is positive in the state favorable to the MAX, the evaluation function value is in the negative state in the case of being favorable to the MIN, and is close to 0 in the state in which the MAX or MIN is not particularly advantageous , Where a minimax procedure can be used.

Here, Alpha-Beta Pruning is a technique for reducing the number of nodes evaluated by a min-max algorithm for a game in which two players participate. In other words, it cuts off a part of the navigation tree in favor of me so that the opponent never reaches the game. Through this, the probability algorithm can be adjusted, and the user or the game machine can win the game at the calculated odds ratio divided by the win / loss.

In the minimum-maximum game tree, the depth-first search is applied as described above. Every time the game is predicted (probability), the number of all cases is organized into a game tree, the nodes in the final stage are evaluated, The number of nodes to be searched increases exponentially as the depth of the tree increases. Therefore, the maximum depth of the game tree that can be searched within a given time is limited And limit the maximum level size depending on the computing power that the processor can handle.

Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the level of the processing capability of the server or the game machine is exceeded, the minimum-maximum game tree is switched to the genetic algorithm. At this time, genetic algorithm is a search algorithm based on the survival of the fittest and the mechanism of inheritance. In other words, it only selects and mates genes that are well adapted to the given environment, and in some cases mutates to deliver good genetic traits to the next generation.

Thus, as evolution evolves, only genes that are better suited for a given environment will remain. Operators such as selection, intersection, variation, and substitution used in genetic algorithms are selectively selected within a certain range, which is a concept of selective search. Instead of exploring all ranges, try to explore only those areas that are more likely.

For example, until level 4 of the game, you can perform a global search with the game tree and then perform a selective search with a genetic algorithm. At this time, each step stores the maximum evaluation value coordinate returned by the evaluation function, and if the genetic algorithm can not find a specific condition even later, it is possible to use a method of returning the maximum evaluation value coordinate accumulated in each step.

In addition, the arcade game service providing server 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention can use a binomial distribution, which is an ideal distribution type of a population, and a normal distribution is a continuous variable, while a binomial distribution represents a discrete variable Concept.

In other words, we can control the distribution of the random variable X in the case of independent trials where the probability of occurrence of each event X is the same. For example, in a casino roulette game, if the event of throwing a die 100 times is called an event of "1", X is a sufficiently large number of 100 times, and according to the mathematical probability, If you throw it six times, you can think of it as coming out once, but when it comes to 100 times, it comes out once. The value thus calculated is the average of the actual binomial distribution. This can be used to control and increase the probability. It should be apparent, however, that the above-described probabilistic program is not used alone, but may be varied depending on implementation examples and conditions.

The components of the arcade game service providing server 300 will be described below.

The storage unit 310 may register at least one arcade game machine 100, and may store and assign an identification code.

The check unit 320 may check the result of the predetermined probability program when the game is started in at least one arcade game machine 100. [

The change unit 330 may increase or decrease the probability value of the predetermined probability program when the checked result does not reach the same-day sales.

The control unit 340 can control the game to proceed with the probability program having the increased and decreased probability value. At this time, as described above, the predetermined probability program is composed of a combination of any one or at least one of a collaboration algorithm of a minimum-maximum game tree and a genetic algorithm, a random number generation algorithm, a binomial distribution probability density function algorithm, Program. In this case, the maximum-minimum game tree applies depth-first search, organizes the number of all cases in the game tree at the corresponding stage each time the game progresses, evaluates the nodes at the final stage, And the minimum value to derive the result, and after the global search in the game tree, the probability can be adjusted by performing a selective search using the genetic algorithm.

The storage unit 350 may cause the at least one arcade game machine 100 to output the item card printed with the amount corresponding to the victory, and store the log so as to identify the item card, when the game result game controller wins the game result.

The management unit 360 identifies the card printed on the item card when the item card is inserted and recognized in at least one arcade game machine 100 and causes the arcade game machine 100 to continue the game if a refund is requested You can control the refund.

The re-issuance unit 370 can re-issue the item card by printing out the new item amount corresponding to the game result by calculating the amount described in the item card, the number of times the game controller has executed the game and the game fee.

The item unit 380 is a program for causing the at least one arcade game machine 100 to input an input from the at least one arcade game machine 100 before checking the result of the predetermined probability program when the game is started in the check unit 320. [ When the payment means is cash or a card, the amount of money of the cash or the amount of money to be selected after the card is inserted is displayed as a credit. If the input means is an item card, the amount printed on the item card can be displayed as the item amount have.

In addition, the item unit 380 may set the amount denoted by the item amount to a non-refundable amount so that the at least one arcade game machine 100 can not refund cash.

The probability unit 390 calculates the number of times the game controller has executed the game and the game charge in the item card at the re-issuance unit 370, prints a new item amount corresponding to the game result, and reissues the item card , The ID code of the reissued item card and the ID code of the previously issued item card are stored so as to be matched with the game player, respectively, and the game player's odds can be calculated. In addition, when the calculated odds exceeds the preset odds average, the probability unit 390 determines whether a game started to satisfy a predetermined odds average when the game is started in the arcade game machine 100 using the reissued item card Can be controlled.

Hereinafter, an arcade game service using the game probability algorithm having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 3, (a) when a user starts a game by inserting banknotes or coins into the arcade game machine 100, the amount of the credit is increased and the game is started. (B) In the case that the credit is not exhausted or the item to be provided exists if the credit is won, the money can be printed by using the item card and output. In this way, even if the player does not receive a refund or wants to play another game, it is possible to easily move to another game machine through the item card.

(c) On the other hand, the item card can be printed variously so that the money can be printed and can be discriminated by the arcade game machine 100 by a card, a chip, a bar code, a QR code, or the like. When playing the game with the item card, the arcade game service providing server 300 can recognize the item and confirm the remaining amount, and then start the next game or the same game.

(d) If the item is to be refunded, a message indicating that the refund can not be issued is issued, and the user can be guided to use the arcade game machine 100. Then, the probability of winning or losing can be controlled by the probability program, and the probability may be adjusted to exhaust all of the non-refundable amount.

(e) For example, suppose that a user first starts a game, receives 10,000 won, and costs 500 won for one game. At this time, the user has to complete 20 games to complete the game. In this case, it is possible to keep all the credits without giving up the user, such as keeping the percentage of the initial predetermined percentage to be exhausted without refunding, and then setting the percentage to be a predetermined percentage.

The arcade game service providing server 300 may be configured so that the total sales of the respective arcade game machines 100 are equal to the predetermined sales If it can not be reached, it may adjust the predetermined probability to reach the sales.

Referring to FIG. 4, the item card may be outputted as paper as in (a) or may be in the form of a receipt as shown in (b), but it may be premised that reading is possible in the arcade game machine 100 .

Referring to FIG. 5, the IC chip may have a built-in type or a magnetic attached type. However, the present invention is not limited to the above, and it will be obvious that item cards can be formed in various forms.

The method for providing the arcade game service using the game probability algorithm shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 will be described with reference to FIG. 1, which is the same as the description of the arcade game service providing method using the game probability algorithm, And therefore, the following description will be omitted.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a process in which data is transmitted and received between the respective components included in the arcade game service providing system using the game probability algorithm of FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, an example of a process of transmitting and receiving data between the respective components will be described with reference to FIG. 6. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the process of transmitting and receiving data can be changed.

6, when the game controller (user) in the card charging terminal 400 charges the cash (cash for operating the game machine) by cash or card payment (S6100), the arcade game service providing server 300 transmits, , Receives it (S6200), and stores it so that the credit-charged card is identified.

Then, when the game is started in the arcade game machine 100 (S6300), the probability of each game and user is calculated and adjusted (S6400), and the adjusted probability is transmitted to the arcade game machine 100 (S6500).

When the user stops the game or acquires an item, the arcade game machine 100 issues an identifiable item card printed with the corresponding amount (S6600), and transmits it to the arcade game service providing server 300 (S6700).

Then, the arcade game service providing server 300 updates the item amount and the user's winning rate (S6800), adjusts the probability per user (S6900), uses the item in the game arcade 100 (S6910) When the game is played, it is notified to the arcade game service providing server 300 (S6920), and the game controller (user) plays the game with the adjusted probability (S6930).

If the refund button or the like is inputted in the arcade game machine 100 (S6940), the game arcade game machine 100 notifies the user of the fact that only the game progress or the item card can be discharged (S6950), and proceeds the game or prints the item card.
