The communication unit 210 is connected to the processor 220 and the memory 230 to transmit and receive data. The communication unit 210 may be connected to another external device to transmit and receive data. Hereinafter, the expression “transmitting / receiving“ A ”may refer to transmitting / receiving“ information or data indicating A ”.

The communication unit 210 may be implemented as a circuit in the server 200. For example, the communication unit 210 may include an internal bus and an external bus. As another example, the communication unit 210 may be an element connecting the server 200 and an external device. The communication unit 210 may be an interface. The communication unit 210 may receive data from an external device and transmit data to the processor 220 and the memory 230.

The processor 220 processes data received by the communication unit 210 and data stored in the memory 230. A "processor" may be a data processing device implemented in hardware having circuitry having a physical structure for performing desired operations. For example, desired operations may include code or instructions included in a program.

3 is a flowchart of a method of authenticating a game qualification according to an exemplary embodiment.

Steps 310 to 340 below are performed by the server 200 described above with reference to FIG.

In step 310, the server 200 receives a request for authentication of a game qualification from a user terminal. For example, the user terminal may correspond to the user terminal 110 described above with reference to FIG. 1. The user terminal may include a mobile terminal such as a smart phone, a laptop, a tablet, and may include a non-mobile terminal such as a personal computer (PC). In other words, the user terminal means any device that can be connected to the online, and is not limited to the described embodiments.

In operation 320, the server 200 determines whether the user of the user terminal is eligible for the game based on a response to the problem transmitted to the user terminal and the problem received from the user terminal.

The server 200 may transmit a problem to the user terminal. Problems that can determine game eligibility may be sent. For example, the problem may include a problem of verifying a user's ethical awareness. As another example, the problem may include a problem of verifying background knowledge about the game. According to an example, the server 200 may provide the user terminal with materials for studying the contents related to the problem before transmitting the problem to the user terminal.

The user of the user terminal may transmit a response to the problem transmitted from the server 200 to the server 200. For example, the user may send a response by selecting at least one of a plurality of views in the case of a multiple choice question. As another example, a user may send a response by entering text.

The server 200 may determine whether the user has a game entitlement based on the received response. For example, if the score calculated based on the response is greater than or equal to the threshold, it may be determined whether the user is eligible for the game.

In step 330, server 200 sets an authentication number for the user if it is determined that the user is eligible for the game. For example, when a user creates a user account on the server 200, the authentication number may be set in association with the user account of the server 200. The authentication level of the game qualification set for the user may be a preset basic authentication level. For example, if the certification grades include S, A, B, C, and D, then the basic certification grade may be B grade.

 For example, a user account may include a user's name, contact information, address, and the like, and is not limited to the described embodiments. A method of setting an authentication number for a user is described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 below.

In step 340, the server 200 transmits the authentication number to the user terminal. The user can create a user account on the game server using the transmitted authentication number.

4 is a flowchart of a method of setting an authentication number for a user when it is determined that the user is entitled to a game according to an example.

According to one aspect, step 330 described above with reference to FIG. 3 may include steps 410 and 420 below.

In step 410, the server 200 receives a password from the user terminal. The password can be used to prevent an authentication number issued to a user from being stolen by another user.

In step 420, the server 200 associates an authentication number and a password with a user and sets it.

5 is a game qualification certificate according to an example.

According to an aspect, when the authentication number is set for the user, the server 200 may generate a game qualification certificate for the user. For example, the game qualification certificate may include an authentication number and an authentication level. In addition, game entitlement certificates can be continuously updated. For example, the game entitlement certificate may include a list of games in use by the user, and the reason for which the authentication level is changed may be displayed.

The certification level of the game qualification may change according to the user's in-game behavior. For example, if you play bad manners in Game A, your certification level may drop. As another example, the authentication level may be increased when manners are performed in game B. According to an example, since a penalty may be generated according to the authentication level, the user may try to manage the authentication level. Detailed description of the adjustment of the certification level is described in detail with reference to FIG. 7 below.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of verifying validity of an authentication number according to an example.

According to one aspect, after the step 340 described above with reference to Figure 3 is performed, the following steps (610 to 630) may be further performed.

In step 610, the server 200 receives the authentication number from the game server. For example, a password may be received along with an authentication number. The game server may check whether the user who wants to create a user account has a game entitlement through the authentication number that the user sends to the game server.

In step 620, the server 200 determines whether the authentication number is valid. For example, it may be determined whether the authentication number is actually a issued number. According to one example, if the password set in the authentication number is matched, it may be determined whether the authentication number is valid.

In step 630, the server 200 transmits to the game server whether the authentication number is valid. In addition, the server 200 may also transmit information about the user corresponding to the authentication number. For example, whether the user is an adult may be transmitted to the game server.

7 is a flowchart of a method of adjusting an authentication level of a game qualification according to an example.

According to one aspect, after step 630 described above with reference to FIG. 6 is performed, the following steps 710 to 760 may be further performed.

In step 710, the server 200 receives a request from the game server to adjust the authentication level of the game qualification set in the authentication number. For example, the request may be requesting an upgrade of the certification level. As another example, the request may be requesting a downgrade of the certification level.

In step 720, the server 200 adjusts the authentication level of the game qualification based on the request. For example, the certification level may be raised or lowered.

In step 730, server 200 determines whether the adjusted certification level exceeds the minimum certification level.

In step 740, server 200 determines whether the adjusted certification level is equal to the minimum certification level.

In step 750, server 200 may stop using the authentication number if the adjusted authentication level is equal to the minimum authentication level. For example, if the server 200 inquires whether the authentication number is valid from the new game server, the server 200 may reply that it is not valid or has been suspended.

In step 760, server 200 may erase the authentication number if the adjusted authentication level is not equal to the minimum authentication level (ie, if the adjusted authentication level is less than the minimum level).
