Here, the autonomous driving device 1 and the autonomous driving device 2 are different types of autonomous vehicles manufactured by different automobile manufacturers.

User team 1 has three participants such as user2, user3, and user4, and user team 2 includes two participants such as user5 and user6.

The game server 100 provides a simple quiz mission to assign two autonomous vehicles of different types to each team. The quiz mission is subjective and presented to the user terminals of 5 participants at the same time. Five participants each input the answer they think is the answer, and the user terminal transmits the answer to the game server. The game server 100 gives the team of the participant who answered the correct answer first the right to select one of the two autonomous vehicle models first.

Assuming that User3 corrects the correct answer, the game server 100 presents a voting mission for all members of Team 1 to select one of the two autonomous driving devices. The voting is closed within a limited time, and the game server 100 assigns the car model that has received many selections to Team 1 and the remaining car models to Team 2.

The game server 100 may allocate two pieces of route information from two or more route information to each team through this mission execution method.

The game server 100 prepares and holds a plurality of route information. Route information can be defined as the start and end points, or it can be set in the form of designating to pass through the main waypoints. The game server 100 allocates route information to each autonomous vehicle, and the autonomous vehicle drives according to each route information.

The game server 100 allows each team to designate the right to attack and the right to evade. It is desirable to design the right to attack and the right to evade as a gift when passing a user mission or driving mission.

In a racing game, the right to attack is to drive the opposing team at a disadvantage in such a way that the autonomous driving device of a competitor or competing team stops running for a certain period of time, meets a virtual obstacle while driving, or adds a specific waypoint to drive. used to obstruct.

In a racing game, the right of evasion makes it possible to skip the driving of route information in some sections or to provide in the form of invalidating specific obstacles.

The right to attack and the right to evade transmit related information to the user terminal belonging to the team so that all or part of the members of team 1 can use it, and the user terminal 200 selects an attack target or permits use of the attack right so that the attack right can be used. It has an input function.

The game server 100 must be configured to designate a specific participant as a leader of the team for each team, and to be a target for performing an attack right and evasion right, or a user mission or driving mission. Voting missions may be performed at the stage where a specific participant is determined as the leader of the team, and it is desirable to have some of the cast members take charge of the game broadcast production.

The game server 100 may provide a voting mission as an additional user mission so as to determine the right to attack or the right to evade by the collective intelligence of a large number of people. Based on the voting results, the contents according to the right to attack and the right to evade are reflected.

When the user uses the right to attack against the opposing team, the user terminal 200 receives attack right usage information and transmits it to the game server 100 . When the attack right usage information is received from the user terminal of a specific team, it is checked whether the use of the attack right is possible, approved, and the other team's route information is adjusted and transmitted to the driving terminal. When the driving terminal receives the adjusted route information, it applies to the driving of the autonomous vehicle. The use of route information for driving of the autonomous vehicle is configured in such a way that the autonomous vehicle travels on a road in accordance with the administrative information.

There are three methods for the driving terminal 300 to apply the route information to the driving of the autonomous vehicle. That is, the first method of integrating the autonomous vehicle and the driving terminal to form one, the second method of connecting the autonomous vehicle to the network communication means and transmitting and receiving automatically adjusted route information to reflect the autonomous vehicle on the route information, autonomously It is a third method of outputting changes in route information so that a person related to the operation of the driving vehicle can see it.

When the driving terminal 300 and the autonomous vehicle exist as one system, information in a memory or storage device storing route information of the autonomous vehicle is replaced or changed.

The game server 100 may be configured to provide route information from beginning to end to a specific driving terminal 300 . As another method, the game server 100 divides the entire route information into several section units and transmits the route information of sections to be completed sequentially to the driving terminal 300 to provide it.

The game server 100 is configured in such a way that the route information consisting of several sections is transmitted to the driving terminal 300 in stages, and the route information of the next section to be driven after the autonomous driving device, which is the subject of the time delay penalty, completes the stepwise driving to be configured in such a way that it is delayed by the delay time and then provided to the driving terminal 300 .

The game server 100 configures route information of the driving terminal by further adding mission information. The mission information of the driving mission to be performed by the autonomous driving device or the driving terminal includes things that can be done in the field, such as the method of driving through a certain point, the method of taking a picture of the specified target, the method of receiving the specified object, etc. do.

The game server 100 further adds information on fuel information and speed limit that are virtually set to the route information. Here, fuel information is not information about the fuel of an actual autonomous vehicle.

The fuel information enables the autonomous vehicle to determine whether to stop and resume driving, or to set a speed limit. When driving continuously with the designated route information, the fuel is deducted. In an actual racing game, fuel information may be displayed in points or other formats.

The autonomous vehicle moves by autonomously driving the actual road according to the route information. The autonomous driving device drives the vehicle at a lower speed between the speed limit of the route information and the legal speed limit of the actual road. When the autonomous vehicle operates on an actual road, it does not run at the speed limit or the legal speed limit. You may have to wait at a traffic light or slow down due to a traffic jam. Therefore, the speed limit is applied only to the maximum speed at which the autonomous vehicle participating in the game can run on the road.

When the virtual fuel of the autonomous driving device is greater than a certain amount, the speed limit of the autonomous driving device is designated as good, and when the fuel is less than a certain amount, the speed limit is adjusted to be lowered.

The game server 100 transmits to the user terminal 200 a participant mission to prevent a situation in which people participating in the game run out of fuel. When a participant inputs an input related to performing a specified mission using the user terminal, the user terminal 200 transmits the information to the game server 100, and the game server replenishes the specified amount of fuel.

The mission that the game server 100 presents for participants to participate in for replenishment of fuel may include solving a quiz, viewing an advertisement, inputting specified data, taking a photo, and the like. Depending on whether the condition is satisfied or not, it is possible to adjust the amount of fuel to be replenished or not to be replenished.

The game server 100 preferably displays the fuel as a number as a unit, but may also display the number of items such as points, hearts, or stars. It is also desirable to operate fuel, points, items, etc. in multiple ways.

The game server 100 transmits some or all of the driving state information and route information of the autonomous driving device participating in the racing game to the user terminal 200 . The user terminal 200 receives and outputs the driving state information and route information.

The game server 100 transmits image data related to game progress to the user terminal.

When the user terminal 200 receives the image data from the game server 100, it is displayed on the display so that participants can see it. When there is information related to obstacles in virtual reality in the image data, the obstacles are displayed on the display of the user terminal 200, and information related to the user's mission to remove the obstacles is received and transmitted to the game server 100. .

When the obstacle is a rock, people may use a method of displaying the rock in the form of pulling out the rock or hammering the rock by touching the screen.

When the obstacle is a cat, the participant takes a picture of the cat and transmits it, and the game server 100 may remove the cat obstacle after receiving the cat picture from a plurality of participants.

In order to remove the above obstacles, the participant additionally configures a method of paying a price by paying a certain amount of electronic money or points.

If the obstacles are not removed, the participants or participating teams in the racing game will be penalized. Penalties include disqualification from participation, the end of the game, suspension for a certain period of time,

If the self-driving vehicle is a general vehicle driven by a human or a human input to the self-driving vehicle, the adjusted route information is output in a human-recognizable manner.

When a team's autonomous vehicle receives a driving attack from a competing team, information related to using the opponent's right to attack is transmitted to the user terminals of the team members of the team, and the user terminal outputs the information to notify the user.

If there are three or more autonomous vehicles and there are two or more opposing teams, the user terminal 200 should further include a function of selecting the opposing team to attack.

The game server 100 provides mission information to the user terminal 200 so as to secure an item used for the opposing team's attack right. When the user completes the mission, the game server 100 grants an attack right to the corresponding team or the participant, and transmits the attack right information to the user terminal 200 .

The user terminal 200 receives the attack right information, outputs it so that the user can use it, and has an input tool so that the attack right can be used. When the user inputs information using the right to attack, the user terminal 200 transmits information on the target autonomous driving device to which the right to attack is applied and information related to the right to attack to the game server 100 .

The game server 100 finally constitutes a step of determining the result of the autonomous driving device-based racing game. The game server 100 determines the result of the racing game by determining the ranking based on the driving results of a plurality of autonomous vehicles, determining the victory and defeat with the competing participants, and the success or failure of the driving result. It may be one of the methods of determining.

The game server 100 reflects the performance result of the driving mission of the autonomous driving device matched to the participant in the result determination of the racing game. In other words, if the driving mission is well performed or the driving is completed in a short time, the participant wins, and it is reflected in the judgment of the result of the autonomous vehicle racing game.

The game server 100 further includes a step of finally determining whether the autonomous vehicle has completed the course to satisfy the given route information. Whether or not the autonomous vehicle completes the route information is configured so that the driving results such as score or success or failure are reflected in the game judgment based on whether the vehicle has passed the starting point, destination, and waypoint properly, the time taken to complete it, and whether the driving mission is performed.

The game server 100 converts the score of passing the driving mission, the time required for the completion, and the degree of completion of the route information to a numerical value, and reflects the driving result in the game result determination.

It is preferable that the game server 100 manages scores, rankings, or completion times by separately reflecting the user mission performance results for each participant or team. In addition, the score, ranking, or completion time is managed by reflecting the results of the user's mission for each participating team. In addition, in judging the result of the racing game, the result of the user's or team's user mission is reflected.

The game server 100 determines the game result and displays or announces the ranking or result information of the autonomous driving device or the ranking of the participating teams or participants matching the autonomous driving device. The information is posted on the Internet or transmitted to the user terminal 200 .

The game server 100 further adds the step of adjusting the route information of a specific driving terminal using collective intelligence by gathering the judgments of a plurality of participants constituting the team. Here, collective intelligence analyzes the opinions of several participants in real time and reflects them in the racing game. Alternatively, it is also a good way to support the selection of one of several driving conditions of one's own autonomous driving device.

Another way to adjust the route information using the collective intelligence of the game server 100 is to use a quiz mission. It is a method in which different words containing specific letters or spellings are suggested, and the team that succeeds first is given the right to attack or replenishes virtual fuel.

While performing the user mission, the participant strives to apply a favorable driving route to his/her autonomous driving device. Performing the user mission may be to get the correct answer of a given quiz, perform a specified action, or imitate a sound. The participant's user mission performance may be a method of inputting the user terminal using a designated input device. An input method using a method of shaking the user terminal up and down or left and right, a method of clicking a designated icon displayed on the display of the participant terminal, etc. is configured.

2 shows a schematic diagram of a user terminal. The schematic diagram of FIG. 2 is a user terminal using a smartphone, and there is a touchpad on the screen that operates both a display and an input function. Separately, a microphone and a camera are input functions, and a GPS function and a network function are further included.

In addition, it can be confirmed that there is a section indicating the user mission and a section for inputting the mission performance result of the user mission.

The user terminal 200 displays route information and driving state information of a driving terminal connected to a specific autonomous vehicle participating in a racing game on a display so that the participant can recognize it. The vibration function of the smartphone is used to display vibrations due to collisions or irregularities among driving status information.

3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, which further includes a game studio 400 and a game area 500 . The game studio further includes a model device 410 and a broadcast relay device 420 corresponding to each autonomous vehicle.

The model device 410 and the broadcast relay device 420 are respectively connected to the game server 100, the driving terminal 300, or the user terminal 200 through a network communication means to transmit and receive data.

The model device 410 is manufactured for a person to ride. The model device further includes a driving device 411 capable of expressing 4D effects such as vibration, direction change, acceleration, deceleration and impact, collision, sound, and altitude change.

The model device 410 receives the driving state information of the autonomous driving device from the game server 100 or the driving terminal 300 and displays the resulting 4D effect through the driving device 411 . Depending on the state of the autonomous vehicle driving on the road, direction changes, ascents and descents, posture changes, impacts, and bullets are expressed.

In the racing game, the referee may determine whether the user has performed the user mission, and this may be cited. In this case, the referee inputs information including whether or not the mission is performed into the user terminal and transmits the information to the game server, and the game server receives the information and applies whether the mission is performed.

When the game server 100 utilizes the judges related to the user mission, it is preferable to have the judges pass the authentication step to input the answers to a specific user terminal, or to configure a separate user terminal 200 used by the judges.

A user terminal may be located in the game studio 400 so that a participant can participate in the game, and even in this case, the user terminal 200 is connected to the game server 100 through a network communication means.

The image repeater 420 includes a display module and a speaker module to output images and sounds to people in the studio. The image relay device outputs image information captured by the driving terminal 300 or image information received from the game server.

The image repeater 420 may further include a camera module and a microphone module.

The camera module and the microphone module shoot a broadcast video including the performers participating in the racing game in the studio, process the obtained video or sound, and then transmit it to the game server 100 or the user terminal 200 through a network means for viewers to enjoy. Make it possible to watch broadcasts about racing games.

The broadcast relay device 420 transmits an image captured in a game studio or an image including information related to various racing games to the airwaves, cable, Internet TV, and the like. When transmitting to Internet TV, it is preferable that the game server 100 additionally configures a separate streaming server.

The broadcast relay device 420 visualizes the data related to the mission performance information as a graph or table, and transmits the additionally configured image data so that the user terminal can receive it.

The broadcast relay device 420 generates and streams an image related to the game progress by using the image acquired in the studio, the image transmitted by the driving terminal, route information, status information, or ranking information of the game server. The video related to the game progress is transmitted to the user terminal 200 via the game server 100 or by direct transmission.

The user terminal 200 receives and displays the streaming image of Internet TV directly through the network so that the participants can watch it. In this case, the user terminal may be able to watch TV broadcasting using an additional device separated by a separate function.

A game broadcast is in progress and the broadcast relay device 420 may be configured to transmit to the user terminal 200 instead of the game server 100 . When using the broadcast relay device 420, the user terminal can be configured as one device, but it is also possible to configure it separately for TV viewing and participation. In this case, the broadcast relay device 420 is regarded as the game server 100 .

The racing game can be configured so that only the performers in the studio can participate, and it is also possible to configure the people in the studio and the people watching the broadcast to form a team to participate.

3, another embodiment for game broadcasting in which a large number of unspecified viewers participate will be described.

In the game studio, the cast, host, and audience participating in the racing game are located. People who use user terminals to participate in racing games become spectators or cast members.

In each home, viewers who want to participate in the racing game install an application that performs the function of the user terminal on their user terminal device, such as a smartphone or tablet, to participate.

The cast of the game studio are popular entertainers, and viewers can be their fans. In the game studio, the cast is composed of two teams, and viewers can choose their preferred team to participate in the game.

The game server 100 is configured to select a part of the driving route by using collective intelligence as a penalty for a competitor or a competing team or as a kind of driving mission of itself or a team belonging to the competitor. That is, a voting mission for voting to choose between a left turn and a right turn at the next intersection is presented to the user terminal 200 of multiple users belonging to the team as the user mission.

When the users vote with the user terminal 200, the user terminal transmits the input value to the game server, and the game server 100 analyzes the voting result and as a result selected by many people, the path information of the affiliated team or the competing team to adjust

The game server 100 additionally gives and calculates a score related to the activity to the user. That is, points are accumulated for each individual participant in the part where he or she participated in a user mission or answered a specific quiz well, and ultimately, the individual participant with a high score is rewarded.

Compensation by the game server 100 as an individual participant is selectively configured among methods such as ranking announcement, winner announcement, online gift certificate or souvenir payment notification, prize payment notification, prize payment, gift payment, and the like.

It is preferable that the game server 100 composes and produces various types of games as user missions so that viewers can voluntarily contribute to the victory of the team to which they belong. Here, you can apply a quiz mission in which you have to solve a quiz, a voting mission in which you must vote, or a certification photo mission in which you take a special photo at a certain point.

The game server 100 is preferably installed in an independent Internet space, but for the implementation of the present invention, it is also possible to be configured to be included in the user terminal or configured to be included in the driving terminal.
