1 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a game operating server according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, in operation 110, the game operation server acquires base data. The base data may be related to game play history of game users for calculating game proficiency. For example, the game operations server may collect log records from user terminals where game users play the game to obtain the base data.

Game proficiency associated with a game may be calculated for each game, and may include, for example, growth proficiency, individual content proficiency, and cooperative play proficiency. Growth proficiency indicates how well the game grows, and individual content proficiency indicates how well the individual content in the game is mastered (e.g., main content such as the main dungeon and sub-content such as additional dungeons). Proficiency refers to the skill level of cooperative play such as guild activity and party play. Each proficiency may be calculated based on each proficiency-related indicator, and may be calculated with respect to a predetermined time interval (eg, one week before the reference time point at which the proficiency is calculated).

In operation 120, the game operation server generates growth related indicators. Once the growth proficiency related index is generated, the growth proficiency related indicator may be used to calculate the growth proficiency. The process of generating growth proficiency-related indicators may be understood as a process of preprocessing data for calculating growth proficiency.

The game operation server may generate growth proficiency related indicators corresponding to a predetermined time interval (hereinafter, referred to as a target time interval) based on the base data. For example, if the reference point is January 6, 2019, a week from December 31, 2018 to January 6, 2019 may be set as the target time interval, and the game operation server may correspond to the target time interval. Growth proficiency-related indicators.

Growth proficiency related indicators may include, for example, content related indicators, charging related indicators, and goods related indicators. Growth proficiency-related indicators will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.

2 is a diagram illustrating game elements for calculating growth proficiency according to an embodiment.

With reference to FIG. 2, game elements including content, goods, and growth methods are shown. In general, the growth-based game may be performed based on the game elements shown in FIG. 2. Therefore, the indicator for growth proficiency may be determined based on the game elements shown in FIG. 2.

For example, how much content has been performed, how much content is used, how much content has been achieved, etc., in order to view that a particular game user has mastered the growth method. This can be categorized into content related indicators. In addition, consumption activity and goods activity of the game user may be considered in relation to the growth proficiency. They can be categorized into billing-related and goods-related indicators, respectively. Therefore, as an indicator of growth proficiency, an indicator related to content, an indicator related to billing, and an indicator related to goods may be considered.

The content related index may include an index related to the main content play history, an index related to the sub content play history, and an index related to the quest achievement. For example, the main content play history may include the number of farming in the main content, and the sub content play history may include a sub content utilization history for growth. Quest achievement may include main quest and sub content achievement.

Billing-related indicators can include billed amounts, and goods-related indicators can include the consumption of goods, such as primary goods, secondary goods and sub-goods.

According to an embodiment, the growth proficiency related index may include 1) the number of farming operations, 2) the history of sub content usage, 3) the history of quest achievements, 4) the billed amount, and 5) the current consumption status of goods. Growth proficiency-related indicators generated according to one embodiment may be shown in Table 1.

User ID start date End date Main content play history Sub content play history Billing related indicator Quest achieved Billing Goods Related Indicators Main Goods Index P1 181231 190106 3.543 0 3000 10.3 35.133 34325 P2 181231 190106 2.191 2 0 8.1 30.192 29192 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

In Table 1, the user ID represents identification information for distinguishing accounts of game users, and the start date and end date are for specifying a target time interval for calculating growth proficiency. When the target time interval is specified, the number of visits of each game user during the target time interval may be calculated to calculate the indicators. The indicator about the main content play history may include the number of visits and the main content play of the specific game user during the target time interval. It can be determined based on the ratio between the number of times. For example, if the main content play history corresponds to the number of pharming (eg, the number of times the main dungeon has been played), the indicator regarding the main content play history may be visited during the target time interval / the number of times the main dungeon played / the target time interval. It can be determined based on the number of times.

The index regarding the sub content play history may be determined based on a ratio between the number of times of playing the sub content of the specific game user and the number of visits during the target period. For example, if the sub content play history corresponds to the number of times the additional dungeon played, the indicator regarding the sub content play history may be determined based on the number of times the additional dungeon played during the target time interval / the number of visits during the target time interval. have.

The indicator regarding the quest achievement may be determined based on a ratio between the number of quest achievements (eg, the sum of the main quest achievements and the subquest achievements) of the specific game user and the number of visits during the target time interval. For example, an indicator regarding quest achievement may be determined based on the number of quest achievements / visits during the target time interval.

The charging related index may be determined based on a ratio between the billing amount of the specific game user and the number of visits during the target time interval. For example, the charging related indicator may be determined based on the amount of visits during the target amount of money / the target time period.

The goods-related indicator may be determined based on a ratio between the consumption of goods in the game and the number of visits of a particular game user during the target time interval. For example, the consumption of goods may include the consumption of primary goods (eg billing goods) and the consumption of secondary goods (eg main goods). The billing goods related indicator may be determined based on billed goods consumption during the target time period / the number of visits during the target time period, and the main goods related indicator may be determined based on the main goods consumption during the target time period / the number of visits during the target time period. have.

Referring back to FIG. 1, in operation 130, the game operation server calculates a growth skill level. The game operation server may calculate the growth proficiency for each game user by processing the growth proficiency related indexes generated through step 120. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the game operation server may calculate the growth skill level through principal component analysis (PCA) based on the content related indicator, the charging related indicator, and the goods related indicator. The calculation of growth proficiency will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3.

3 is an operation flowchart illustrating a method of calculating growth proficiency according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3, in step 310 the game operations server normalizes the indicators. Step 310 may be performed after step 120 of FIG. 1. For example, the game operation server may standardize the indicators related to the main content play history, the indicator related to the sub content play history, the billing related indicators, the quest achievement indicators, and the goods related indicators described in Table 1, respectively. The standardization of step 310 can be understood as a concept of scaling to unify units of indicators. According to an embodiment, the game operation server may standardize the indicators using Equation 1.

In Equation 1, x denotes a prestandardization indicator, z denotes a standardized indicator, μ denotes a mean, and σ denotes a standard deviation. The game operation server may obtain a standardized indicator z by substituting x before standardization.

In step 320 the game operations server converts the standardized indicators into scores. Conversion of step 320 can be understood as a process for converting standardized indicators into intuitive indicators. According to an embodiment, the game operation server may convert the standardized indicators into T scores using Equation 2.

In Equation 2, z represents a standardized index, T_score represents a transformed T score, a represents a mean, and b represents a standard deviation. For example, a in Equation 2 may be μ in Equation 1, and b in Equation 2 may be σ in Equation 1. The game operation server may obtain a T_score value indicating a corresponding T score by assigning z to the standardized indicator.

In operation 330, the game operation server calculates the proficiency based on the score. The game operation server may calculate a growth skill level by performing principal component analysis on the T score obtained through Equation 2. For example, the game operation server may select the first principal component and calculate the growth proficiency by calculating the principal component score for each user ID using the eigenvector.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the game operation server may calculate individual content proficiency and cooperative play proficiency of game users corresponding to the target time interval based on the base data. Individual content proficiency indicates a degree of skillful learning of individual content in the game, and cooperative play proficiency indicates a degree of skillful learning of cooperative play such as guild activity or party play.

Individual content proficiency may be determined for each individual content. For example, when determining the individual content proficiency regarding the individual content C1 of the game user U1, the game operation server may determine how many times the game user U1 clears the individual content C1 during the target time period, and the game user U1 during the target time period. The probability of clearing individual content C1, the number of times game user U1 died playing the individual content C1 during the target time period, and the time (average and / or total) time spent by the game user U1 to clear the individual content C1 during the target time period. , The total (average and / or total) damage suffered by game user U1 while playing individual content C1 during the target time period, the ranking of game user U1, the number of winnings of game user U1, and the total number of game user U1 clearing individual content C1. The individual content proficiency of the individual content C1 of the user U1 may be determined based on at least one of the number of times. The game operations server may determine individual content proficiency for other game users and other individual content in a similar manner.

In addition, when determining the cooperative play proficiency of the game user U1, the game operation server may be configured to at least one of the number of friends, guild members, chat participation times, cooperative play times, and cooperative content participation times of the game user U1 during the target time interval. Based on this, the cooperative play proficiency of the game user U1 can be determined.

After step 330, step 140 of FIG. 1 may be performed.

Referring back to FIG. 1, in operation 340, the game operation server operates the game using the proficiency. The game operation server may operate the game based on at least one of growth proficiency, individual content proficiency, and cooperative play proficiency. For example, game operations may include running a non-game community as well as managing situations related to in-game play. For example, the game operation may include game community operation and guide content operation. The game community operation and guide content operation will be described in detail later.

4 is a diagram illustrating an index constituting growth proficiency and a distribution of users according to the calculated growth proficiency according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 4, the growth proficiency 420 may be calculated based on the indicators 410. Indicators 410 represent a standardized state or a state converted to a T score. The growth proficiency 420 calculated corresponding to the indicators 410 may represent, for example, the lower 8.3% of inexperienced users. Therefore, it is determined that the game user having the growth proficiency 420 is an immature user, and a service necessary for the immature user can be provided to the game user.

5 is an operation flowchart illustrating a game community operating method using proficiency according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5, in operation 510, the game operation server operates a game community using proficiency. For example, step 510 may be performed after step 130 of FIG. 1. For example, a game community may include a community for posting game-related posts and a community for reporting game-related bugs.

Once the game proficiency is calculated, the game proficiency can be used to run the game community. For example, growth proficiency may be exposed as a division item of a post posted to a game community, and at least one of a post search function and a post sorting function based on the growth proficiency may be provided. In the case of a game community or post for reporting a bug, the growth skill of the game user may be used to determine the importance of the post for reporting a bug.

6 is a diagram illustrating a game community in which growth proficiency is exposed according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6, the title, author, inquiry, and skill level are shown as the division items. However, such a division item is just one example, and the game community may be provided with at least some of the division items shown in FIG. 6, or may be provided with more various division items than the division items shown in FIG. 6.

When the game proficiency is calculated as described above, the game proficiency may be exposed as a category item of the article. The type of game proficiency exposed may vary depending on the category of the game community (or bulletin board). For example, a community about a specific individual content may expose individual content proficiency as a category, and a community about guild or party play may expose a cooperative play proficiency as a category. In the case of a community of interest, growth proficiency may be exposed as a category.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one of a post search function and a post sorting function based on game skill may be provided.

The arrow shown to the right of "proficiency" in Figure 6 indicates this alignment function. When there is a selection input regarding the "skill" item or the arrow to the right of the "skill", an alignment (eg, ascending or descending sorting) based on "skill" may be provided. For example, the numerical value described as "proficiency" in FIG. 6 may indicate what percentage of the proficiency is in the top and vice versa.

7 is a diagram illustrating a post search using growth proficiency according to an embodiment. In FIG. 7, the combo box indicates that "skill" is utilized as a search condition. For example, in FIG. 7, the numerical value specifying "skill" as the search condition may indicate what percentage of the upper level is the proficiency, and on the contrary, it may be set as the search condition as the lower percentage.

When a community user searches for a post, the user can designate "proficiency" as a search condition to check a post written by a game user having a desired proficiency as a search result. For example, a community user may use a search condition for "proficiency" to search for posts of a higher user or for posts of game users of a similar level.

8 is a diagram illustrating a game community for processing a bug report based on growth proficiency according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 8, a game community and a post (report) for reporting a bug are shown. In the case of a bug report, there may be a negative post by a game user who seeks a reward that can be learned when a bug is reported, or an incorrect post by an inexperienced user.

These posts may be irrelevant to actual bugs in the game or may not be very helpful in fixing bugs, and may increase the burden on bug managers to respond to bug reports. Therefore, the game user's game proficiency may be used to determine the importance of the post for reporting a bug.

The type of game proficiency used may vary depending on the category of the game community or article. For example, individual content proficiency may be used for communities or posts related to bugs in specific individual content, and cooperative play proficiency may be used for community or posts related to guild or party play, and for general communities or posts. Growth proficiency can be used.

For example, FIG. 8 illustrates that "skill" is exposed as a category item of a post. Administrators of the game community can prioritize bug reports by sorting posts based on "proficiency" or by determining the credibility of a post based on "skill". According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when a game user having a certain level or more of skill (eg, growth skill) posts a post for reporting a bug to the game community, a notification about a bug report may be sent to an administrator of the game community. The manager can respond to the report with high credibility and give the report a high priority.

9 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating guide content using growth proficiency according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 9, in operation 910, the game operation server operates the guide content using proficiency. For example, step 910 may be performed after step 130 of FIG. 1. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the game user may register guide content related to game targeting in an in-game situation or in the game community. Another game user can browse the registered guide content to obtain a game strategy.

For example, the range of game users who can register the guide content may be limited based on game proficiency. That is, the right to register the guide content may be granted only to a game user having a certain level of game proficiency (eg, at least one of growth proficiency and individual content proficiency). Growth proficiency may be used in the case of an attack on growth or game general, and individual content proficiency may be used in the case of an attack on individual contents. The level to which the game proficiency of the authorized game user is limited may be determined according to the game operation strategy.

As another example, instead of registering the guide content for all game users, it provides a function to sort / search based on the game proficiency when viewing the guide content so that other users can view the guide content as desired. can do.

10 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing guide content according to an exemplary embodiment.
