Hereinafter, a structure of a game control device included in the virtual reality game system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

3 is a block diagram of a game control device included in a virtual reality game system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3, the game control device 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a game control device for providing game contents to be executed when a user is positioned on a stage defined as an active area and an moving area, An operation receiving unit 210 for receiving an operation signal for a user's operation from the controller 110, and a control unit for receiving a detection signal for movement and operation of the user from the sensor device 120 including one or more sensors 121 and 122 An interaction unit 230 for generating a control signal for controlling the operation, movement and operation of the avatar in the game content matched to the user corresponding to the operation signal and the detection signal, a head mounted device 130 (250) for transmitting a screen signal corresponding to the game content to the game content, and a control unit And a control unit 240.

The operation receiving unit 210 is connected to the game controller 110 held by the user in a wired or wireless manner and transmits an operation signal corresponding to pressing of one or more trigger, switch type buttons and touch type buttons provided in the game controller 110 It receives input.

Here, the operation signal relates to a user performing an operation, and may correspond to an event that occurs when a user operates the game controller. That is, the operation signal can be associated with an operation such as an avatar in a game content using a tool, or confirming a map.

The operation receiving unit 220 receives one or more camera sensors 121 installed in the booth and a sensing signal according to the movement and operation of the user from the sensor device 120 including the motion sensor 122.

Here, the detection signal relates to the user moving to a specific area on the stage, taking an action such as standing posture, sitting posture, or arm bending posture, etc., . That is, the detection signal can correspond to an action that the avatar in the game content moves the map or the avatar takes.

The interaction unit 230 analyzes the operation signal and the detection signal from the operation receiving unit 210 and the operation receiving unit 220 to determine the button operated by the user and the current position, the moving direction and the posture of the user, And plays a role of generating a control signal that can be applied to game contents.

In detail, all the actions of the user at the time of executing the game contents should be reflected in the game, and the interaction unit 230 analyzes the operation signals and the detection signals and generates the control signals so as to reflect them in the game contents.

For this, the interaction unit 230 matches the operation signal to the key value set in the game contents, and the control signal for the matched key value is input to the game contents by the control unit 240. [ Here, when the operation signal is a signal based on the touch-type button, the interaction unit 230 may match another numerical value to the key value step by step according to the input condition.

Also, the interaction unit 230 matches the detection signal with the attribute value of the avatar in the game content. The attribute value includes the body part of the avatar and the coordinate information of the avatar on the map, and the avatar moves the body part according to the matching of the attribute value or moves to the destination from the current position on the map.

In particular, the interaction unit 230 is characterized in that the control signal is generated so that the user can move the map on the game content having a relatively larger area on the stage having the limited area, Is included.

Specifically, when a user in progress is to move to a position on a map in the game content, which is farther than the distance that the user can move, a move button The interaction unit 230 recognizes the action included in the operation signal or the detection signal as a pattern and transmits a control signal for moving the avatar to the corresponding position .

In addition to the actions described above, the interaction unit 230 also generates a control signal that allows the user to move the avatar in a form of indirect movement rather than direct movement of the user when the user enters the area defined on the stage, can do.

 The control unit 240 plays a role of executing the game contents, and in particular, plays the game by reflecting the control signal generated by the interaction unit 230 to the game contents being executed.

In addition, the control unit 240 requests the game providing unit 250 to play a game according to the execution of the game content, and provides the requested game to the user.

The screen providing unit 250 serves to provide a game screen according to the execution of the game content to the head-mounted device 130 worn by the user under the control of the controller 240. [ In addition, the screen providing unit 250 provides a game screen to the display apparatus provided separately as well as the illustrated head-mounted apparatus 130, thereby further providing a function for allowing other spectators to watch the game screen in addition to the user .

On the other hand, the game control device according to the embodiment of the present invention not only operates the game controller of the user but also directly or indirectly applies an action such as an action taken on the stage and a movement of the stage to an avatar corresponding to the game content itself .

The virtual reality game system includes the game controller of the present invention. The virtual reality game system includes a game controller for controlling the avatar, It does not simply reflect the user's behavior in the avatar, but implements behavior that is difficult to implement through predefined patterns in the system.

4A and 4B are views for explaining a method of implementing a user's behavior applied to a virtual reality game system according to an embodiment of the present invention in game contents. Referring to FIGS. 4A and 4B, In the virtual reality game system according to the embodiment of the present invention, a stage 50 having a predetermined width is formed on the ground surface of the booth 10 as a game space, and the stage 50 is a virtual divided region defined in the system , It is preferable that it is a circular shape.

As an example, when the width or the vertical width d1 of the booth 10 is 2,000 m, the circle diameter r1 of the stage 50 may be defined as 2,000 m or less which is narrower than this, The game can be proceeded, and the avatar in the game content can be moved through the forward (f) and backward (b).

In this way, the entire area of the stage 50 can be set as the active area A / A, and the action of the user in the active area is reflected in the game contents. In addition, when the user desires to move to the area d1 or more on the map of the game contents, the user can operate the move button provided on the game controller 110 or swipe the front and rear touch buttons to perform movement have. In the movement using the button, the virtual reality game system can provide a function of performing the movement automatically without using the detection signal by the inertial sensor provided in the user's wearable suit.

As an example, the game content may be composed of a plurality of missions or quests, and the automatic movement function may automatically move a user to a specific position in order to perform a mission or a quest. .

Meanwhile, as another embodiment, a method of implementing an action by dividing an area of the stage 50 into two or more areas and setting different actions of the user for each area is described.

5A and 5B are views for explaining a method of implementing a user's action applied to a virtual reality game system according to another embodiment of the present invention in game contents. Referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, The stage 51 separated from the active area A / A and the moving area M / A may be formed on the floor of the booth 10, which is a game space.

The total width or length of the booth 10, {d1 + (d2

Figure 112017011596587-pat00002
2)} is 2000 m, the width d 1 of the active area A / A corresponding to the center is 1,500 m or less and the width d 2 of the moving area M / A on both sides surrounding the active area A / A is 250 m Or less.

Accordingly, the diameter of the stage 51 (r1 + r2

Figure 112017011596587-pat00003
2) may be defined as less than 2,000 meters in length less than the entire width of the booth 10 and the user may move the avatar in the game content through the forward (f) and backward (b) .

In this way, the user's behavior, particularly movement, in the active area A / A of the stage 51 can be directly reflected in the game content, and when the user enters the moving area M / A, (A / A) to an area that can not be implemented. As an example, if the user wants to move the avatar to a position farther from the stage 51 area in the game content, if the user keeps entering the moving area M / A, The avatar is recognized as the remote movement of the avatar and the avatar is moved to the corresponding coordinates.

At this time, the system recognizes that the user has entered the moving area (M / A) through the camera sensor installed in the booth 10 and controls the avita.

The moving area M / A is formed so as to have a height higher than the active area A / A from the ground and has a slope or a step with respect to the active area A / A, It can be configured to recognize the height or inclination of the foot on its own. Alternatively, the moving area A / A may be made of a different material from the active area A / A, or may have a different texture so that the user can recognize the current area.

According to the above-described embodiments, the virtual reality system of the present invention can detect an operation such as a user's operation, movement and operation on the stage through an inertial sensor or a camera sensor and reflect the same in the game progress. In addition, according to the embodiments of the present invention, the avatar can be controlled in various ways according to the preference of the user by dividing the stage into two regions and defining them.

Hereinafter, a game providing method of a game control device included in a virtual reality game system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a game providing method of a game control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The step S100 of receiving a detection signal for movement and operation of the user from the sensor device including the operation signal for the user's operation and the sensor device including the at least one sensor from the game controller is performed by the operation and operation receiving unit of the game control device And receiving the input and detection result according to the wired or wireless scheme.

Next, a step S110 of generating a control signal for controlling the operation, movement, and operation of the avatar in the game content matched to the user corresponding to the operation signal and the detection signal is provided from each receiving unit Analyzing the operation signal and the detection signal, and generating a control signal so as to reflect the action of the avatar in the game. In operation S110, the operation signal may be matched with the key value, and the detection signal may be matched with the attribute value of the avatar.

Subsequently, the step of reflecting the control signal to the game content and executing the game content (S120) is a step of controlling the behavior of the avatar by inputting the control signal into the game content being executed by the control unit of the game control apparatus.

The step of transmitting a screen signal corresponding to the game content to the connected head-mounted device (S130) may include providing the game screen outputted according to the execution of the game content to the head-mounted device worn by the user in real time . In step S 130, the user confirms the game screen and proceeds with the game.

According to the game control method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the user's behavior is reflected on the game content and the game screen is provided in real time according to the above-described steps, thereby providing a more realistic sensible game to the user.

While a great many are described in the foregoing description, it should be construed as an example of preferred embodiments rather than limiting the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be determined by the embodiments described, but should be determined by equivalents to the claims and the appended claims.
