Client 120 may also be referred to as a terminal or a peer.

The server 110 may be connected to the client 120 and provide a service to the connected client 120. In addition, the server 110 may store and manage various information of a user registered as a member according to a member registration process, and provide a purchase and payment function for various items related to a game.

In addition, the server 110 may relay, in real time, execution data of a game application executed in each of the plurality of clients 120 so as to play a game between users.

The server 110 has the same configuration as a conventional Web server or a WAP server in hardware. However, software includes a program module implemented through any language such as C, C ++, Java, Visual Basic, Visual C, and so on to perform various functions.

In addition, the server 110 is generally connected to an unspecified number of clients and / or other servers through an open computer network such as the Internet, and receives and performs a work result request of the client or another server. Computer system and computer software (server program) installed therefor.

In addition to the server program described above, the server 110 may be a series of application programs that operate on the server 110 and, in some cases, various databases (DB: Database, hereinafter referred to as “built in” or “external”). It is to be understood as a broad concept including "DB". Therefore, the server 110 classifies membership information, various information and data about the game, and stores and manages the data in a DB, which may be implemented inside or outside the server 110.

In addition, the server 110 uses server programs that are variously provided according to operating systems such as DOS, Windows, Linux, UNIX, Macintosh, and the like for general server hardware.

The Internet has many services in the TCP / IP protocol and its upper layers: HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Telnet, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Domain Name System (DNS), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), and SNMP ( The global open computer network architecture that provides the Simple Network Management Protocol (NFS), Network File Service (NFS), and Network Information Service (NIS). In addition, when the client 120 is a mobile communication terminal or a smart phone, the network may include a mobile communication network.

When the user plays the game through the client 120, an item 131 first encountered by the user may appear in the game. If a separate operation or search is required to find information about the item 131, the progress of the game may be disturbed and the interest of the user may be halved. The item 131 can be easily described to the user if the item 132 is similar to the item 131 appearing in the game currently played by the user.

In FIG. 1, the game the user is currently playing may be referred to as a first game. The game that the user previously played may be referred to as a second game. The item 131 refers to an item having low understanding by the user as the content of the first game. The item 132 means an item with high understanding by the user as the content of the second game.

The user may transmit a guide request signal for the item 131 to the server 110 through the client 120 to determine information about the item 131. However, the configuration of the system of FIG. 1 is exemplary, and the client 120 may guide the item 131 by analyzing information about the item 131 by itself.

The server 110 may evaluate the similarity of the plurality of goods and the plurality of items included in the plurality of games including the first game and the second game. The server 110 may analyze the content of a game of a kind similar to the first game, and evaluate the similarity between the content of the first game and the content of the second game for each kind of content. Here, the similarity evaluation may be performed before receiving the guide request signal or may be performed after receiving the guide request signal. The server 110 may quickly respond to the guide request by performing a similarity evaluation before receiving the guide request signal. The server 110 may reduce unnecessary memory waste by performing similarity evaluation after receiving the guide request signal.

For example, when the item 131 is an attack weapon, the server 110 may normalize the range of attack power of the attack weapon based on the highest attack power and the lowest attack power of the plurality of items of the game. For example, when the item 131 is a defensive weapon, the server 110 may normalize the range of defensive power of the defensive weapon based on the highest defensive force and the lowest defensive force of the items of the plurality of games. When there are a plurality of kinds of stats in the item 131, the server 110 may normalize each stat. For example, when the item 131 has both offensive and defensive power, the server 110 may normalize the offensive and defensive power, respectively.

For example, items may have various kinds of information such as stats, skills, or merchants. The stat may include information such as attack power, defense, durability, immunity, or basic properties. Each stat can be represented numerically. For example, the skill may include information such as wide area, penetration, freezing, and invincibility.

The server 110 may perform density-based clustering after normalizing the stats of the items of the plurality of games. For example, the server 110 may perform clustering using various kinds of clustering techniques such as DBSCAN or K-Means. The server 110 may cluster items having similar stats. When the items have N kinds of stats, the server 110 may generate an N-dimensional graph and cluster the items concentrated in a narrow area in the graph into one cluster.

The server 110 may collect a game log of a user's game account. The server 110 may track the game history of the user's game account. The game log may include various information related to the user's game account. The game log may include a device identifier, a channel identifier, a game account identifier, and the like, connected to the game. The game log is the access time, end time, play time of the user's game account, various commands input while playing the game, the status of the character of the game account, the items and goods possessed by the character, the contents of the communication by the game account, It may include the number of charges, the amount of billing of the game account.

The server 110 may select the goods or items of the second game based on the similarity of the plurality of goods or the plurality of items and the game log of the game account in response to the guide request signal. For example, the server 110 may select the most suitable game among the pre-played games of the user. The server 110 may select a game that the user has played. The server 110 may select an item having a high similarity among selected games. If the similarities of the plurality of candidate items are the same, the server 110 may select an item used by the user. If the similarities of the plurality of candidate items are the same and the user has not used the plurality of candidate items, the server 110 may select an item based on the user's understanding of each of the plurality of candidate items. However, such selection criteria are exemplary and items of various criteria may be selected to increase the understanding of the user.

The server 110 may generate guide content based on the goods or items of the selected second game. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, when a user touches an item 131 displayed on the client 120, the client 120 transmits a guide request signal to the server 110, and the server 110 transmits a second game. An item 132 similar to the item 131 may be selected from. The server 110 may transmit the guide content for displaying the item 132 of the second game in the form of a popup to the client 120. The guide content may have various forms such as visual, auditory, and tactile. For example, the guide content may be output as an image or text.

As such, if the user is not familiar with the game, a description of the content within the game may be required. The system can guide the user more easily for the game currently in progress based on similar content of the game previously played by the user. The system can describe items that appear early in the game against the game the user has already experienced. Through this, the system can prevent the user's negative experience due to lack of understanding of the game. The system can mitigate the cold start phenomenon early in the game.
