Description

Server connection method and server system using the same {SERVER CONNECTING METHOD AND SERVER SYSTEM USING THE METHOD}

The present invention relates to a server access method and a server system using the same, and more particularly, to a server access method and a server system using the same, which selects and connects one of a plurality of servers.

Currently, a number of web services are provided by the server system through the Internet. Such a server system may provide a web service by having one server, but in general, it is possible to provide a corresponding web service by providing a plurality of servers so that a large number of users can access at the same time. For example, a user who wants to play an arbitrary game may be provided with a service for the game by accessing one of a plurality of game servers using his terminal.

In addition, the server system may further include a matching server that matches a user terminal with one of a plurality of servers. For example, when the user terminal connects to the matching server to receive an arbitrary game service, the matching server may match one of the plurality of game servers to the user terminal. As a result, the user terminal can access the game server matched by the matching server and receive the corresponding game service.

On the other hand, in the case of card games among several games, a plurality of game groups may be divided according to the size of a seed. For example, a user who wants to play a card game by participating in a game group with a seed of 10000 may match a part of other users placed in the game group to perform the corresponding card game. At this time, matching between users for playing the corresponding card game can be performed only in the same game server.

As described above, a plurality of servers divided into a plurality of groups and providing web services need to be distributed by the matching server. For example, when a card game is divided into a seed 1000 group, a seed 5000 group, a seed 10000 group, a seed 20000 group, and a seed 50000 group according to the size of the seed, any user terminal accesses the matching server to seed 10000 group When requesting participation, the matching server may determine at least one server to which the seed 10000 group is matched, and select one of the determined servers to match the user terminal. As a result, the user terminal can access the server selected by the matching server and match another user terminal connected to the server to perform the seed 10000 card game.

However, when a large number of user terminals select one of a plurality of groups to access the matching server at the same time, the matching server rapidly increases the load due to the calculation processing for matching, so that the connection time increases or the access limit increases. Connection errors may occur. In addition, a new matching server may be further provided to prevent this.

Therefore, the present invention has been derived to solve such a problem, and the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a server access method that reduces the load of arithmetic processing for matching with a server.

In addition, another problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a server system using the server connection method.

A server access method according to an embodiment of the present invention relates to a method performed by a user terminal for accessing one of a plurality of servers, and includes distribution weights for a plurality of groups from an operating server Receiving distribution weight information for each group; Generating server matching information for each group including information matching each of the groups with at least one of the servers by using the distribution weight information for each group; And selecting and accessing one of the servers using the server matching information for each group.

The generating of server matching information for each group may include classifying each of the groups into at least one weight piece using the distribution weight information for each group; Arranging the weight pieces generated separately from the groups in order of weight size; Sequentially matching the weight pieces to the servers one by one in order of weight size; If there is at least one unmatched weight piece (hereinafter, referred to as a 'mismatched piece') among the weight pieces, matching the unmatched pieces to any one of the servers, one by one; And generating matching server connection matching information for each group by using a matching relationship between the weight pieces and the servers.

In the step of dividing each of the groups into at least one piece of weight, the distribution weight for each of the groups included in the distribution weight information for each group is divided by the server weight allocated for accommodating each of the servers, It can be divided into at least one piece of weight.

In the step of dividing each of the groups into at least one weight piece, after dividing the distribution weight for each of the groups by the server weight to generate a quotient and the remainder, the quotient is zero and the remainder is present. At this time, one weight piece having a weight corresponding to the rest is generated, and when the quotient is more than one (1) and the rest does not exist, a weight piece having the server weight is generated as many as the number of shares, When the quotient is greater than or equal to one (1) and the remainder is present, the number of weight pieces having the server weight may be generated as many as the number of quotients, and one weight piece having the weight corresponding to the rest may be separately generated.

In the step of generating server matching information for each group, at least one group (hereinafter referred to as a 'multiple pieces group') divided into a plurality of weight pieces among the groups exists, and is generated separately from the plurality of pieces groups. If there is a weight piece (hereinafter referred to as a "piece below the reference value") that includes a weight below the reference value among the pieces of the weight, the step of deleting the piece below the reference value may be further included.

In the step of matching each of the unmatched pieces to one of the servers one by one, among the servers, at least one weight piece having less weight than a server weight allocated for accommodating each of the servers is matched. When the server (hereinafter referred to as 'unsatisfied server') exists, the unmatched pieces may be matched to any one of the unsatisfied servers one by one.

In the step of matching each of the unmatched pieces to any one of the servers one by one, when the unmatched server is present among the servers, the unmatched pieces are either one of the unmet servers, one by one in the order of weight size. You can match each.

In the step of matching the unmatched pieces to any one of the servers one by one, when the unmatched servers are present among the servers, the unmatched pieces are given less weight among the unmet servers one by one in the order of weight size. It is possible to prioritize matching to a server matched with a weight piece possessed.

In the step of matching each of the unmatched pieces to one of the servers one by one, when the unmet server does not exist among the servers, each of the unmatched pieces is sent to one of the servers one by one. Matching, when the unsatisfied server is present among the servers, the unmatched pieces are matched to any one of the unsatisfied servers one by one (hereinafter referred to as 'unsatisfied server matching process'), and the unsatisfied server matching process During the process, if all of the unsatisfied servers match each of a plurality of weight pieces so as to have a weight equal to or greater than the server weight, any one of the servers may be assigned at least one weight piece left unmatched among the unmatched pieces. Each server can be matched.

The step of selecting and accessing one of the servers may include determining one of the groups (hereinafter referred to as a 'target group') that wants to participate; Extracting at least one server (hereinafter referred to as a 'matching server') matching the target group using the server matching information for each group; And selecting and connecting one of the matching servers.

The server matching information for each group may include information in which each of the groups is allocated by a matching weight to match at least one of the servers. At this time, in the step of selecting and accessing one of the matching servers, if there is only one matching server, accessing the matching server, and when there are multiple matching servers, using the server matching information for each group, Among the matching servers, a single server may be selected and accessed with a probability according to a ratio of matching weights allocated for matching with the target group.

Subsequently, a server system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of servers and an operation server. The servers can be connected to a user terminal. The operation server stores distribution weight information for each group including distribution weights for a plurality of groups, and provides the distribution weight information for each group to the user terminal. At this time, the user terminal generates server matching information for each group including information that matches each of the groups with at least one of the servers using the distribution weight information for each group received from the operation server, One of the servers is selected and accessed using the server matching information for each group.

Subsequently, the server access method according to an embodiment of the present invention relates to a method performed by a matching server for connecting a user terminal to one of a plurality of servers, from an operating server, for a plurality of groups Receiving distribution weight information for each group including distribution weights; Generating server matching information for each group including information matching each of the groups with at least one of the servers by using the distribution weight information for each group; And using the server matching information for each group, selecting one of the servers to access the user terminal.

Subsequently, the server system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of servers, an operation server, and a matching server. The operation server stores distribution weight information for each group including distribution weights for a plurality of groups. The matching server receives the distribution weight information for each group from the operation server, and a server for each group including information that matches each of the groups with at least one server among the servers using the distribution weight information for each group. Matching information is generated, and one server among the servers is selected using the server matching information for each group to access the user terminal.

According to the server access method and the server system using the same according to the present invention, the user terminal or the matching server uses the distribution weight information for each group including distribution weights for a plurality of groups, so that each of the groups is the server. After generating server matching information for each group including information matched with at least one server among them, the user terminal and the server are selected by selecting one of the servers using the server matching information for each group. The matching operation process among them is more simplified, so that the load of the matching operation processing can be reduced.

<Server system 1>

1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a server system according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of distribution weight information for each group stored in an operation server among the server systems of FIG. 1.

1 and 2, the server system according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of servers 20 and an operation server 30, at least any web service, for example, a game service such as a card game It can be provided to one user terminal 10. Here, the user terminal 10 may be a mobile communication terminal such as a smart phone or a tablet PC, but may also be a computer system such as a laptop and a desktop.

In this embodiment, the web service may be divided into a plurality of groups and provided to users. For example, when the web service is a game service providing a card game, it may be provided in a plurality of categories according to the size of a seed. As an example, as in FIG. 2, the groups may consist of group 1 with a seed of 20000, group 2 with a seed of 100000, group 3 with a seed of 1000000, group 4 with a seed of 1000, and group 5 with a seed of 5000. have.

Each of the servers 20 is connected to the user terminal 10 through the Internet to send and receive signals. That is, when any one of the servers 20 is connected to the user terminal 10, the web service may be provided to the user terminal 10. In the present embodiment, all of the servers 20 may be assigned the same server weight. At this time, 'weight' is a value used for matching between the user terminal 10 and the servers, and the server weight is assigned to each of the servers 20 to accommodate the matching with the user terminal 10 It can mean the weight that was made. For example, when the servers 20 are configured with servers 1 to 7, the server weight may be 14 and the total server weight may be 98.

The operation server 30 is connected to the user terminal 10 through the Internet to send and receive signals. The operation server 30 stores distribution weight information for each group including distribution weights for the groups, and may provide distribution weight information for each group to the user terminal 10. As an example, as in FIG. 2, the distribution weight for group 1 is 30, the weight for group 2 is 40, the distribution weight for group 3 is 20, and the distribution weight for group 4 is 5 And, the distribution weight for the group 5 may be 9. As a result, the total weight of the groups may be 104. Meanwhile, the distribution weights for the groups may be changed using a ratio of users participating in each of the groups for a period of time and stored in the operation server 30.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a server connection method capable of connecting a user terminal to one server using the server system of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 3, the user terminal 10 may receive the distribution weight information for each group from the operation server 30 (S100). Specifically, when the user terminal 10 executes a game program to receive a web service provided by the servers 20, for example, a game service such as a card game, the user terminal 10 The distribution weight information for each group may be provided from the operation server 30 by accessing the operation server 30.

Subsequently, the server matching information for each group includes information that the user terminal 10 matches each of the groups with at least one server 20 of the servers 20 using the distribution weight information for each group. It may be generated (S200). Hereinafter, the process of generating the server matching information for each group (S200) will be described using separate drawings.

Subsequently, the user terminal 10 may access the server 20 by selecting one of the servers 20 using the server matching information for each group (S300). Hereinafter, the server selection process (S300) will be described using separate drawings.

First, the process of generating the server matching information for each group (S200) will be described in detail.

4 is a flowchart illustrating in detail the process of generating server matching information for each group among the server access methods of FIG. 2, and FIG. 5 is an example of a process for generating weight pieces during the process of generating server matching information for each group of FIG. 4. It is a drawing.

4 and 5, in the server matching information generation process for each group (S200), first, the user terminal 10 uses the distribution weight information for each group, and at least one weight piece for each of the groups It can be divided into (S210).

Specifically, after the user terminal 10 divides the distribution weight for each of the groups by the server weight to generate a quotient and the remainder, when the quotient is zero and the remainder exists, the remainder One weight piece having a weight corresponding to is generated, and when the quotient is greater than or equal to one (1) and the rest does not exist, the weight piece having the server weight is generated as many as the quotient, and the quotient is one (1) When the above is the remainder, the weight pieces having the server weight may be generated as many as the quotient, and one weight piece having the weight corresponding to the rest may be separately generated.

For example, if the distribution weight 30 for the group 1 is divided by the server weight 14, 2 and 2 are generated as a quotient and the remainder, and accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5, two weight pieces having a weight of 14 and One piece of weight with 2 weights can be created. Dividing the distribution weight 40 for the group 2 by the server weight 14, 2 and 12 are generated as the quotient and the remainder, and accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5, the two weight pieces having the weight of 14 and the weight of 12 One piece of weight to have can be created. If the distribution weight for group 3 is divided by the server weight of 14, 1 and 6 are generated as quotient and remainder, and accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5, 1 weight piece having 14 weight and 6 weight One weight piece can be created. If the distribution weight for group 4 is divided by the server weight of 14, 0 and 5 are generated as quotient and remainder, and accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5, one weight piece having a weight of 5 may be generated. When the distribution weight 9 for the group 5 is divided by the server weight 14, 0 and 9 are generated as quotient and remainder, and accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5, one weight piece having a weight of 9 may be generated.

Subsequently, the user terminal 10 has at least one group (hereinafter referred to as 'plural pieces group') divided into a plurality of weight pieces among the groups, and weights generated by being separated from the plurality of pieces groups. If there is a weight piece (hereinafter referred to as a "piece below the reference value") that includes a weight below the reference value among the pieces, the piece below the reference value may be deleted (S220). At this time, the reference value may be 2.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the plurality of pieces groups may be the group 1, the group 2, and the group 3. Here, the pieces below the reference value may be one weight piece generated by being separated from the group 1. Therefore, one weight piece having two weights can be deleted.

6 is a diagram illustrating an example of an arrangement process of weight pieces in the process of generating server matching information for each group of FIG. 4.

4 and 6, the user terminal 10 may then arrange weight pieces generated by being separated from the groups in order of weight size (S230). For example, nine pieces of weight may be arranged in order of weight size.

7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a matching process of weight pieces in the process of generating server matching information for each group of FIG. 4.

4 and 7, the user terminal 10 may sequentially match the pieces of weight to the servers 20 one by one in order of weight size (S240). For example, the server 1 matches one weight piece generated in the group 1, the server 2 matches another weight piece generated in the group 1, and the server 3 generates in the group 2 One weight piece matched, the server 4 matches another weight piece generated in the group 2, the server 5 matches one weight piece generated in the group 3, and the server 6 is Another weight piece generated in the group 2 is matched, and the weight piece generated in the group 5 is matched to the server 7.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a matching process of mismatched pieces in the process of generating server matching information for each group of FIG. 4, and FIG. 9 is server matching information of each group generated by a matching process of unmatched pieces of FIG. 8. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating another example of a matching process of mismatched pieces in the process of generating server matching information for each group of FIG. 4, and FIG. 11 is generated by a matching process of unmatched pieces of FIG. 10. A diagram showing server matching information for each group.

4 and 8 to 11, the user terminal 10, if there is at least one non-matching weight pieces of the weight pieces (hereinafter referred to as 'unmatched pieces'), if the Matching pieces may be matched to any one of the servers, one by one (S250). Referring to FIG. 7, the unmatched piece may include a weight piece having a weight of 6 generated in the group 3 and a weight piece having a weight of 5 generated in the group 4.

In the present embodiment, among the servers 20, the server weight, i.e., a weight piece having a weight less than 14, is matched according to whether at least one server (hereinafter referred to as 'unsatisfied server') exists. Methods may vary.

Specifically, when the unsatisfied server does not exist among the servers 20, the user terminal 10 may match the unmatched pieces to any one of the servers, one by one. For example, a weight piece having a weight of 6 generated in the group 3 matches the server 1, which is one of the servers 20, and a weight piece having a weight of 5 generated in the group 4 May match the server 2, which is one of the servers 20.

On the other hand, when the unsatisfied server exists among the servers 20, the user terminal 10 may match the unmatched pieces to any one of the unsatisfied servers, one by one in the order of weight size (hereinafter, hereinafter). 'Unsatisfied server matching process'). For example, as shown in FIG. 7, since the server 6 matches the weight pieces having the weight of 12, and the server 7 matches the weight pieces having the weight of 9, the server 6 and the server 7 are It may correspond to the unmet server. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 8, a weight piece having a weight of 6 generated in the group 3 matches the server 6, and a weight piece having a weight of 5 generated in the group 4 can match the server 7. .

Alternatively, in the unsatisfied server matching process, the user terminal 10 may preferentially match the unmatched pieces in the order of weight size to the matched server with the lesser weighted piece among the unsatisfied servers. For example, since the server 7 is matched with a weight piece having less weight than the server 6, the weight piece having a weight of 6 generated in the group 3 is matched to the server 7, as shown in FIG. A weight piece having a weight of 5 generated in group 4 may match the server 6.

On the other hand, during the unsatisfactory server matching process, if all of the unsatisfied servers match each of a plurality of pieces of weights so as to have a weight equal to or greater than the server weight, the user terminal 10 is not matched among the unmatched pieces At least one piece of weight that is left without may be matched to any one of the servers, one by one. For example, the unsatisfied server, the server 6 and the server 7, are matched with one of the unmatched pieces to have more than 14 weights, and at least one weight piece left unmatched among the unmatched pieces If exists, the corresponding piece of weight can be matched one by one of the servers 20, for example, the server 1, the server 2, ... in this order.

Subsequently, the user terminal 10 may generate the server connection matching information for each group by using the matching relationship between the weight pieces and the servers 20 constructed through the step S250 (S260). At this time, the server matching information for each group may include information obtained by matching each of the groups with a matching weight and matching with at least one server among the servers 20.

For example, if the user terminal 10 establishes a matching relationship between the weight pieces shown in FIG. 8 and the servers 20, server matching information for each group as shown in FIG. 9 may be obtained. Specifically, the group 1 may match the server 1 and the server 2 with 14 matching weights, respectively. The group 2 may match the server 3 and the server 4 with 14 matching weights, and the server 6 with 12 matching weights. The group 3 may be matched with a matching weight of 14 on the server 5 and a matching weight of 6 on the server 6. The group 4 may match the server 7 with a matching weight of 5, and the group 5 may be matched with the server 7 with a matching weight of 9.

Alternatively, if the user terminal 10 establishes a matching relationship between the weight pieces shown in FIG. 10 and the servers 20, server matching information for each group as shown in FIG. 11 may be obtained. Specifically, the group 1 may match the server 1 and the server 2 with 14 matching weights, respectively. The group 2 may match the server 3 and the server 4 with 14 matching weights, and the server 6 with 12 matching weights. The group 3 may be matched with a matching weight of 14 on the server 5 and a matching weight of 6 on the server 7. The group 4 may be matched with the matching weight of 5 on the server 6, and the group 5 may be matched with the matching weight of 9 on the server 7.

Hereinafter, the server selection process (S300) will be described in detail.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating in detail a server selection process among the server access methods of FIG. 2, FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a target group determination process among the server selection processes of FIG. 12, and FIG. 14 is a server selection process of FIG. 12 Among the matching server extraction process, FIG. 15 is a view showing a server selection process among matching servers among the server selection process of FIG. 12.

12 to 15, in the server selection process (S300), the user terminal 10 may first determine one group (hereinafter referred to as a 'target group') among the groups. (S310). For example, when the user wants to play a card game with a seed of 20000, the group 1 may be determined as the target group through the user terminal 10. At this time, the step S310 may be performed after the step S200, but may be performed before or simultaneously with the step S200.

Subsequently, the user terminal 10 may extract at least one server (hereinafter referred to as a 'matching server') matching the target group using the server matching information for each group (S320). For example, when the target group is the group 1, the user terminal 10 uses the server matching information for each group as shown in FIG. 9 or 11 to convert the server 1 and the server 2 to the matching server. It can be determined and extracted.

Subsequently, the user terminal 10 may select and connect to one of the matching servers (S430). At this time, if there is only one matching server, the user terminal 10 accesses the matching server, and when there are multiple matching servers, the user terminal 10 uses the server matching information for each group, Among the matching servers, a single server may be selected and accessed with a probability according to a ratio of matching weights allocated for matching with the target group.

For example, since the group 1 matches the server 1 and the server 2 determined as the matching server with 14 matching weights, the user terminal 10 has the probability of a ratio of 14: 14 to the server 1 and You can select one of the servers 2 to access. Therefore, the user terminal 10 can access the selected server and receive the web service in the target group.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, after the server matching information for each group is generated using the distribution weight information for each group, one of the servers 20 is selected using the server matching information for each group, As it is matched, the matching operation process between the user terminal 10 and the servers 20 is more simplified, so that the load of the matching operation processing can be reduced.

In addition, as the matching operation process is performed in the user terminal 10, the server system can reduce the load due to the matching operation. Therefore, since a matching server performing the matching operation process is unnecessary in the server system, a cost reduction effect as much as the matching server can be expected.

<Server system 2>

16 is a conceptual diagram showing a server system according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

16, the server system according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of servers 20, an operation server 30 and a matching server 40, any web service, for example, a game such as a card game The service may be provided to at least one user terminal 10. In this embodiment, the web service may be divided into a plurality of groups and provided to users.

Each of the servers 20 is connected to the user terminal 10 through the Internet to send and receive signals. That is, when any one of the servers 20 is connected to the user terminal 10, the web service may be provided to the user terminal 10. In the present embodiment, all of the servers 20 may be assigned the same server weight. At this time, 'weight' is a value used for matching between the user terminal 10 and the servers, and the server weight is assigned to each of the servers 20 to accommodate the matching with the user terminal 10 It can mean the weight that was made.

The operation server 30 stores distribution weight information for each group including distribution weights for the groups. Meanwhile, the distribution weights for the groups may be changed using a ratio of users participating in each of the groups for a period of time and stored in the operation server 30.

The matching server 40 receives the distribution weight information for each group from the operation server 30, and uses the distribution weight information for each group to set each of the groups to at least one server among the servers 20. The server matching information for each group including the matched information is generated, and one of the servers 20 may be selected to access the user terminal 10 by using the server matching information for each group. In this embodiment, the matching server 40 may be separately provided with the operation server 30 as shown in FIG. 16, but may alternatively be integrated and operated as one server with the operation server 30.

Meanwhile, the process of the matching server 40 connecting the user terminal 10 to one of the servers 20 is described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 15, and the user terminal 10 is the server. Since the process of accessing one of the fields 20 is substantially the same, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the matching server 40 generates the server matching information for each group using the distribution weight information for each group, and then the servers 20 using the server matching information for each group. As one of the servers is selected and matched, the load of the calculation processing according to the matching between the user terminal 10 and the servers 20 can be reduced. Therefore, there is no need to purchase a new matching server for processing the matching operation, and a cost reduction effect can be expected.

In the detailed description of the present invention described above, it has been described with reference to preferred embodiments of the present invention, but those skilled in the art or those skilled in the art will appreciate the spirit of the present invention as set forth in the claims below. And it will be understood that various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention without departing from the technical scope.
