Description

Multi-connector-based virtual game provision system using 5G wireless communication { VIRTUAL GAME PROVIDING SYSTEM FOR MULTIPLE ACCESS DEVICE USING 5G COMMUNICATION }

The present invention uses a large display screen installed in a public place, a 5G wireless communication that allows arbitrary multiple users to participate in a game with a connected smartphone and to watch the game progress through a large display screen. The present invention relates to a system for providing virtual games based on multiple users using the 'DMC 4th Industrial Revolution Knowledge Cluster' task (task number: KOITA-2018-Knowledge 13, Execution period: 2018.03.01 ~ 2018.12.31) is an invention for the result calculated.

5G refers to the next-generation communication technology following the 4th generation LTE-Advanced, and the official term for 5G (5th generation) communication is IMT-2020.

5G wireless communication has a maximum transmission speed of 1 gigabit per second (Gbps), enabling large-capacity data transmission such as ultra-high-definition images, 3D stereoscopic images, 360-degree videos, and holograms.

In addition, although the standard for 5G mobile communication service has not been finalized, it is considered that high-speed and large-capacity services are included through the Internet of Things for objects, communication services using giga-level ubiquitous networks, and networks between devices.

Accordingly, as the 5G mobile communication service is provided, it is also possible to provide a large-capacity game requiring multi-party access in real time using user terminals connected through wireless communication.

On the other hand, as online games have traditionally been escaping from the realm of players' own enjoyment and becoming one e-spoof, it has long been established as a culture for multiple visitors to watch and relay the game performance of the visitors, and as such evidence It has been a long time since game relay channels have been introduced on TV channels.

Accordingly, Korean Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2017-0141180 discloses a technology for transmitting a game situation by checking a profile of a terminal for playing a game in response to a game relay request from a specific terminal while a game is being played on a plurality of terminals. .

In this case, in the conventional game relay method as disclosed herein, a method of providing the game progress to the spectator at a specific point in time in which the game performing characters are included is applied.

However, in this case, although a stable relay screen can be provided through an omniscient observation point, there is a problem in that a lively relay screen cannot be provided depending on the progress of the game.

As another method, a method used in relay broadcasting, etc., using a program that can observe the virtual space provided in the game from all directions, a game relay changes the viewpoint of the game relay screen according to the game progress How to output.

However, in this case, it is possible to provide a lively relay screen according to the progress of the game, but there is a limitation that an experienced manager is required for the progress of the game.

In addition, recently, play culture where the distinction between performers and participants is not clear, such as street busking, is becoming common. The need for a play culture that can provide the game progress to viewers in a lively manner without a separate manager is emerging.

It is an exemplary diagram showing an example of calculating the output time of .

First, as shown in FIG. 2 , the virtual game providing system according to the present invention is configured to include a spectator display 100 , a user terminal 200 , and a game providing server 300 .

At this time, the game providing server 300 is a game server that provides a virtual game to the user terminals 200 connected through 5G wireless communication and generates a spectating image for the virtual game. As shown in , it is configured to include a communication unit 310 , a control unit 320 , an output screen generation unit 330 , and a database 340 .

The communication unit 310 is for connecting the user terminal 200 and the game providing server 300 to each other, and is connected to the user terminals 200 through 5G wireless communication.

On the other hand, the control unit 320 is a part that basically provides a virtual game to the connected user terminals 200, and outputs an output screen for a user terminal and an output screen for a spectator display, which will be described later, to the user terminal 200 and the spectator, respectively. It serves to provide the display 100 .

And the output screen generating unit 330 is a part that generates an output screen for a user terminal to be output to the user terminal 200 and an output screen for a spectating display to be output to the spectating display 100, hereinafter, the user terminal A method of generating an output screen for a spectator display and an output screen for a spectator display will be described in detail.

The output screen for the user terminal is composed of a virtual space on the game viewed in the gaze direction of the character assigned to the user terminal 200 .

On the other hand, the output screen for the spectating display is composed of a virtual space in the game viewed from the spectating point, which is a point in time that changes in real time according to the progress of the game, depending on the number of participating characters and the game progress. set according to

Hereinafter, a detailed method of setting the viewing point will be described.

The spectating point refers to a specific position and direction on the virtual game space, and the virtual game space seen from the spectating point constitutes the output screen for the spectating display.

Accordingly, the viewing point is basically set at a position spaced apart from a predetermined viewing angle by a distance including all the characters performing the virtual game.

Accordingly, the output screen for the spectating display includes all participating characters, and thus the output screen for the spectating display can be configured including all the game performance of each character.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 5 , when there are two characters performing the virtual game and the two characters face each other, the viewing point may be set in a direction in which the performing character is viewed from the side.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 5 , the virtual game appearance from the gaze of each character is output to each user terminal 200 , and the virtual game viewed from the side on the spectating display 100 . appearance is output.

In this case, as the distance between each character is changed, the perspective of the output screen for the spectating display is changed in real time, so that viewers can enjoy a dynamic spectating screen.

Meanwhile, alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6 , when there are two characters performing the virtual game and the two characters face each other, the viewing point may be set in a direction in which the performing character is viewed from above.

Of course, it is also possible to configure the output screen for the observation display by alternately applying the two observation points as described above.

The observation point as described above is an effective point of view when two characters face each other, and is preferably applied when the type of the virtual game is a fighting game.

However, in the case of a quest game in which a plurality of game participants perform a common mission, the setting of the viewing point as described above may not be effective in understanding the game progress.

Accordingly, in another method of setting a viewing point of view of the present invention, when the performing characters participating in the virtual game look in the same direction within a preset error range, the viewing point may be set in the front direction of the performing characters. .

That is, when each character is looking in a substantially similar direction, a viewpoint viewed from a direction facing the characters may be the viewing point of view, so that the front of the characters is included in the output screen for the spectating display.

Meanwhile, a method for setting the viewing point in the case where there are three or more characters participating in the virtual game will be described.

In this case, the characters may each face different directions, and in order to examine the game performance of these characters as broadly as possible, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7 , first, each performing character (A, B, C) ) to calculate the center point of

Then, each character's gaze direction is vectorized (gazing direction vector, VA, VB, VC) at the center point of each character, and the vector is moved to the central position (P) of each of the central points.

Thereafter, an average center vector VP, which is an average value of the gaze direction vectors VA, VB, and VC, is calculated at the central position P.

Then, the reverse vector of the average center vector VP is set as the observation vector VX with respect to the viewing point, and the viewing vector VX is gradually spaced apart in the direction of the average center vector VP, so that a preset viewing angle 2α is set. ) as the center, and move it to a position where all of the characters performing the virtual game are included.

Accordingly, the direction of the observation vector VX at the moved position becomes the viewing point.

When a large number of game characters exist in the virtual game space, such an observation point allows not only to observe the game performance of all the characters without biasing them to a specific character, but also to observe the changes in the positions and gaze directions of the characters. The viewing point may be changed in real time to provide a lively viewing screen.

Meanwhile, the database 340 is a part in which various contents for implementing a virtual game are stored, as described above, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

And, as described above, the spectating display 100 is a display for outputting the output screen for the spectating display generated by the game providing server 300, and as shown in FIG. It may be configured as a large display, or alternatively, an advertisement display installed in an existing building or the like may be applied.

In addition, the user terminal 200 is a terminal that accesses the game providing server 300 using 5G wireless communication, and may be a smart phone according to a 5G mobile communication protocol.

Accordingly, when users discover the spectating display 100 according to the present invention while walking on the street, they can connect to the game providing server 300 through an app execution, etc. and participate in a virtual game, and such a virtual game It is possible to provide a new street play culture by allowing general passersby to watch the game through the spectating display 100 .

Hereinafter, a method for providing a multi-connector-based virtual game using 5G wireless communication according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the method for providing a virtual game according to the present invention starts with the user terminals 200 being connected to the game providing server 300 ( S100 ).

At this time, as described above, the connection of the user terminal 200 is made according to the 5G mobile communication protocol through an execution program such as an app.

Next, the game providing server 300 allocates a character to the connected user terminal 200, and creates a virtual reality for a game including the character (S200, S300).

After that, the game providing server 300 generates an output screen for the user terminal and provides it to the user terminal 200 to be output (S400), and generates an output screen for the spectating display and provides it to the spectating display 100 to be output (S500).

At this time, the output screen for the user terminal and the output screen for the spectating display are generated and provided in real time according to the progress of the game, and the setting of the spectating point for configuring the output screen for the spectating display is also newly calculated and applied in real time. It's like a bar.
