3 is a flowchart of a method for providing motivation for achieving a goal according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3 , in step S110 , the server 100 may set a target for the user. For example, the server 100 may provide an application to the user terminal 200 , and may set a target for the user through a user interface (UI) output as the user executes the application.

Here, the application provided by the server 100 includes a plurality of educational content providing services (eg, English, foreign languages, etc.), self-development services (savings, reading, etc.), exercise services (eg, diet, health, exercise, sports, etc.) of the service, the server 100 may individually set a target for the user for each of the plurality of services, but is not limited thereto, and may set one integrated target for the plurality of services.

For example, when the service used by the user is a home training service, a foreign language education content providing service, or a savings service, the server 100 individually sets a service goal for each, for example, 1 hour of home training, 2 foreign language education content It is possible to set a goal for the user by completing the course and saving a certain amount of money or more.

As another example, when a user uses a home training service or a foreign language education content providing service, the server 100 sets one integrated goal for the two services, for example, it can set a goal for the user for 2 hours or more of using the service. have.

As another example, when the application provided by the server 100 provides game-type content, the level of the game character corresponding to the user or the amount of experience the game character acquires in the game content is set as a target for the user. can

For example, an application provided by the server 100 builds a virtual world and constitutes a society by itself, and a metaverse-based game in which a plurality of users can act as members of a society in the virtual world. implemented in the form, each game character may be generated for each of the plurality of users so that the plurality of users can freely select and use a plurality of services in the virtual world.

In addition, in the metaverse-based game, a level may be set for each game character corresponding to each of a plurality of users, and the users receive a predetermined experience point to the game character corresponding to the user as they perform a specific mission to play the game. It may be implemented in a form in which a gamification factor capable of raising the level of a character, that is, growing a game character, is applied.

Accordingly, the server 100 may set the level increase (eg, level 1 increase) of the game character corresponding to the user or the amount of experience points acquired by the game character (eg 70% of the experience value) as a target for the user. .

In various embodiments, the server 100 may receive a target set for the user directly from the user. For example, the server 100 may output a UI on the user terminal 200 as an application is executed through the user terminal 200, and may receive information about a goal directly from the user through the UI. (Example: 3 hours or more of service use, level 1 increase of the game character corresponding to the user, or 70% or more of the acquired experience).

In this case, the server 100 may adjust the target inputted from the user based on the achievement probability of the target inputted from the user.

More specifically, first, the server 100 may calculate the achievement probability of the goal input by the user based on the mission performance history for the user for a predetermined period.

For example, if the target input from the user is to use the service for 3 hours or more every day, the average daily service usage of the user may be calculated based on the mission performance history for the user for a predetermined period, and the calculated average daily service usage can be used to calculate the probability of achieving the goal input by the user. Here, the achievement probability may be calculated based on a ratio of the average daily service usage amount of the user to the service usage amount (eg, 3 hours) required to achieve the target, but is not limited thereto.

As another example, when the target input from the user is to raise the level of the game character every day, the server 100 may calculate the average daily experience value of the user based on the mission performance history for the user for a predetermined period, and calculate It is possible to calculate the probability of achieving the goal input by the user by using the daily average amount of experience points obtained. Here, the achievement probability may be calculated based on a ratio of the user's daily average amount of experience to the total amount of experience required to achieve the goal (eg, raising the level of the game character by 1), but is not limited thereto.

Thereafter, the server 100 may correct the target input by the user based on the calculated probability of achieving the target. For example, when the achievement probability is greater than or equal to a preset value (eg, 70%), the server 100 may set a goal input by the user as a goal for the user. Meanwhile, when the achievement probability is less than a preset value, the server 100 may downwardly adjust the target input from the user to set the downwardly adjusted target as the target for the user.

Here, when the achievement probability is less than the preset value, the server 100 may automatically downgrade the target so that the achievement probability of the target inputted from the user is greater than or equal to the preset value, but is not limited thereto, and the degree of downward adjustment is not limited thereto. create multiple goals (e.g. goals downgraded to 70% achievement, targets downgraded to 80% achievement, targets downgraded to 90% achievement, etc.) By listing the goals and providing them to the user, it can be implemented so that the user can directly select the degree of downward adjustment.

Also, when the calculated probability of achieving the target is 100% or more, the server 100 may increase the target so that the achievement probability of the target input by the user is less than 100%.

Here, the server 100 may automatically adjust the goal upward so that the probability of achieving the goal input from the user is less than 100%, but is not limited thereto, and similarly to the above, a plurality of goals (eg, : Create a target with an achievement probability of 90%, a target with an achievement probability of 80%, and a target with an achievement rate of 70%), and list the created targets to create a user By providing , it can be implemented so that the user can directly select the degree of downward adjustment.

In various embodiments, the server 100 may automatically set a target for the user based on the user's service use history.

More specifically, first, the server 100 may calculate the user's daily average service usage (or the user's daily average acquired experience) based on the user's mission performance history for a predetermined period.

Thereafter, the server 100 may set a target for the user based on the calculated daily average service usage amount (or daily average acquired experience value).

For example, the server 100 may set a goal for the user so that the achievement probability becomes a preset value based on the calculated daily average service usage amount (or the daily average acquired experience value). For example, when the average daily service usage of the user is 3 hours, the server 100 may set the target for the user to about 4.3 hours (3/0.7) of service usage so that the probability of achievement is 70%. In addition, when the average amount of experience points obtained per day of the user is 50%, the server 100 may set the target for the user as 70% of the obtained experience points so that the achievement probability is 70%.

As another example, the server 100 may set a plurality of goals (eg, a goal adjusted to have an achievement probability of 70%, an achievement probability of 80%) according to the calculated daily average service usage amount (or daily average acquired experience amount) and the achievement probability It may be implemented so that the user can select a goal by generating a goal adjusted to become , and a goal adjusted so that the achievement probability is 90%), listing the generated goals, and providing them to the user, but the present invention is not limited thereto. .

In various embodiments, the server 100 may adjust a goal for the user based on the number of times the user succeeds in achieving the goal or the number of times the user fails to achieve the goal during a predetermined period. For example, the server 100 may increase the target set for the user when the number of successful target achievements of the user is 5 or more during one week. Meanwhile, the server 100 may downgrade the target set for the user when the number of times the user fails to achieve the target for a week is 5 or more. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

In step S120 , the server 100 may collect information generated as the user performs a mission.

In various embodiments, when a user performs a mission through a specific service, the server 100 may collect log data generated as the mission is performed. For example, when the server 100 performs a mission for the user to complete the educational content through the educational content providing service, all log data (eg, the type and number of educational content) generated as the user completes the educational content , usage time, etc.) can be collected.

Here, when the specific service used by the user is a service directly provided by the server 100 , the server 100 may automatically collect log data generated as the user uses the service through the application.

On the other hand, if the specific service used by the user is a service provided by an affiliated company in advance, for example, as it is provided through an application rather than an application operated by the server 100, the user's log data is stored in the affiliated company's server. In the case of , the server 100 may collect log data of the user from the server of the affiliated business by requesting log data to the server of the affiliated business.

At this time, if it is difficult to collect the log data of the user from the server of the affiliated company because the specific service used by the user is a third-party service provided by the non-affiliated company, the server 100 is configured as the user executes the application or as a predetermined collects log data stored in the user terminal 200 (eg, log data stored in the user terminal 200 as the user uses a third-party service) every cycle of Input (eg, text input or mission performance history capture image upload) may be received, but is not limited thereto.

In various embodiments, when a user performs a mission through a specific service, the server 100 may collect activity data generated as the user performs the mission. For example, when the user performs a home training mission through the home training service, the server 100 may provide all activity data (eg, biometric data such as the user's heart rate, respiration rate, etc.) generated as the user performs home training. information, the type of exercise equipment used, the user's movement and exercise time, etc.) can be collected.

Here, the server 100 is connected to a wearable device worn on at least a part of the user's body or smart exercise equipment used by the user through the network 400 to collect the user's activity data from the wearable device and the smart exercise equipment, However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

In step S130 , the server 100 may determine whether a goal set for the user is achieved based on the information collected in step S120 , and may provide a reward to the user according to whether the goal is achieved.

In various embodiments, the server 100 provides a reward to the user when it is determined that the user has achieved the goal, but provides guide information so that the user can achieve the goal when it is determined that the user has not achieved the goal can do. Hereinafter, it will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 .

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a reward according to success in achieving a goal, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure;

Referring to FIG. 4 , in step S210 , when it is determined that the user has achieved the first goal based on information collected as the user performs the mission, the server 100 rewards the user according to the achievement of the first goal. can provide

More specifically, first, the server 100 may determine whether the first goal set for the user is achieved, based on information collected as the user performs a mission.

For example, if the first goal set for the user is to use the service for 2 hours or more, the server 100 calculates the user's service use time based on information collected as the user performs a mission, and the user's service use time is It can be determined whether the first goal is achieved by determining whether the time is longer than 2 hours.

As another example, when the first goal set for the user is to raise the level of the game character corresponding to the user by 1, the server 100 calculates the total amount of experience obtained by the user based on information collected as the user performs a mission. By determining whether the level of the game character corresponding to the user can be raised based on the amount of the calculated total experience, it is possible to determine whether the first goal is achieved.

Thereafter, when it is determined that the first goal set for the user has been achieved, the server 100 may provide a reward according to the first goal to the user.

Here, the reward may be goods (eg, points, mileage, tokens, etc.) available in the application provided by the server 100, but is not limited thereto, and the reward is a paid service among a plurality of services available in the application. It may be a cash back for the amount paid according to use, or may include a discount coupon for a paid service.

In various embodiments, the provided rewards may be provided in the form of virtual assets (eg, coins or tokens) provided based on blockchain technology, but is not limited thereto. For example, when a user achieves a mission or a specific condition provided through various applications such as study or exercise, the virtual asset may be paid to the user. Users can move the virtual asset to a virtual asset wallet, exchange it for another type of virtual asset, or cash it out.

In addition, in some cases, the service used by the user (service that performed a mission to achieve the goal) is not a service directly provided by the server 100, but an external third-party service, or compensation for an external third-party service from the user If requested, the reward may be, but is not limited to, goods available within a third-party service.

In various embodiments, when it is determined that the first goal set for the user is achieved, the server 100 provides a reward according to the first goal to the user, but the difficulty of the goal, the type of mission performed by the user, and the goal The type and size of the reward may be determined based on at least one of the excess achievement degree.

More specifically, first, the server 100 may determine the type and size of the reward according to the difficulty of the target. For example, the server 100 may determine the difficulty level for the first goal based on the size of the first goal and the probability of achieving the first goal set for the user, and the first goal is in proportion to the determined difficulty level. You can determine the size of the reward for achievement.

That is, even if the first user and the second user have a target of the same size (eg, raising the game character level by 1), the server 100 may set the size of the reward so that a larger reward is provided to a user with a low probability of achievement. In addition, even if the first user and the second user have the same achievement probability (eg, 70%), the size of the reward may be set so that a larger reward is provided to a user with a larger target size.

Also, the server 100 may determine the type and size of the reward according to the type of mission performed by the user. For example, the server 100 may determine the size of the reward according to the achievement of the first goal in proportion to the type and number of missions performed by the user to achieve the goal.

In addition, the server 100 may determine the size of the reward according to the achievement of the first goal based on the difficulty of the mission performed by the user. At this time, when a plurality of missions different from each other are performed by the user, the server 100 may calculate an average of the difficulty of each of the plurality of missions, and determine the size of the reward according to the achievement of the first goal based on the calculated average difficulty. have. Here, the difficulty level of each of the plurality of missions may be set in advance (eg, exercise difficulty 5, educational content difficulty 3, reading difficulty 2, etc.)

That is, even if the first user and the second user have the same achievement probability and the same size goal, the server 100 gives the user who performed more types of missions or the user who achieved the goal by performing a mission with high difficulty. The size of the reward can be set so that a larger reward is provided.

In addition, the server 100 may determine the size of the reward according to the degree of exceeding the goal. For example, the server 100 may determine the size of the reward according to the achievement of the goal in proportion to the degree of exceeding the goal.

That is, when the first user achieves the goal by 100% and the second user achieves the goal by 120%, the server 100 determines the size of the reward so that a greater reward is provided to the second user who achieved the goal by 20%. can be set.

In various embodiments, the server 100 may provide a reward to the user in response to the user achieving the first goal, but may provide an additional reward to the user based on the number of consecutive goal achievements of the user. For example, when the user achieves a target 10 times in a row, the server 100 may provide additional compensation in addition to compensation according to the target.

In step S220 , when it is determined that the user has achieved the first goal, the server 100 may set a second goal for the user for the purpose of providing an additional reward.

In various embodiments, the server 100 may set the second goal based on the first goal and the time remaining from the time when the user achieves the first goal to the end of the reward provision time (eg, 24 hours). For example, when the first goal is 3 hours of service use, and the remaining time from the time when the first goal is achieved to 24 o'clock, which is the end time of the reward provision, is 4 hours, the server 100 serves the second goal for the user. It can be set to more than 30 minutes of use (eg 3*(4/24)). On the other hand, the server 100 acquires the second goal for the user when the first goal is to raise the game character level by 1, and the remaining time from the time when the first goal is achieved to 24 o'clock, which is the time to end the reward provision, is 4 hours It can be set to 17% or more (eg 100%*(4/24)). However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

In various embodiments, the server 100 may set the second goal based on information about the mission performed by the user to achieve the first goal and the user's mission performance history for a predetermined period of time.

More specifically, first, the server 100 may calculate the average usage time (or average amount of experience points) of the user for each of the plurality of services, based on the user's mission performance history for a predetermined period.

Thereafter, the server 100 may calculate a difference value between the average use time (or the average amount of experience points) for each of the plurality of services and the actual use time (or the amount of experience points actually acquired) for each of the plurality of services. For example, the server 100 selects a service that uses less time compared to the average usage time or a service that acquires a small experience value compared to the average acquired experience value among the plurality of services, and a difference value for the selected service (eg, the average of the selected service) The difference value between the use time and the actual use time or the difference value between the average amount of experience and the amount of actual acquired experience of the selected service) may be calculated.

Thereafter, the server 100 may set the second target using the calculated difference value.

For example, when the selected service is an exercise service and the difference between the average use time and the actual use time of the exercise service is 30 minutes, the server 100 may set the second target for the user to be 30 minutes or more using the exercise service.

As another example, when the selected service is an exercise service and the difference between the average amount of experience and the actual amount of experience obtained is 30%, the server 100 acquires a second target for the user through the exercise service by 30% or more can be set to

In various embodiments, the server 100 may determine one or more recommended missions for achieving the second goal, and provide guide information including information about the one or more recommended missions to the user. For example, the server 100 may determine one or more recommended missions based on information about the mission performed by the user to achieve the first goal and the user's mission performance history for a predetermined period of time.

As an example, the server 100 may calculate the user's average use time (or average acquired experience value) for each of a plurality of services, based on the user's mission performance history for a predetermined period, and One or more recommended missions may be determined by comparing the average usage time (or the average amount of experience points) for the user and the mission performed by the user to achieve the first goal. For example, in the server 100, the average training content usage time of the user is 1 hour, the average exercise service usage time is 1 hour, and the mission performed by the user to achieve the first goal is the training content 1 hour and 30 minutes, exercise When the service is 30 minutes, that is, when the user's exercise service use time is 30 minutes less than the average, the exercise service is determined as a recommended mission, and guide information for guiding the user to achieve the second goal by using the exercise service can be provided. .

As another example, the server 100 selects at least one service not used by the user from among a plurality of services based on a mission performed by the user to achieve the first goal, and uses the selected at least one service to You can provide guiding information to guide you in achieving your goals.

In step S230, when the server 100 determines that the second goal for the user has been achieved within a preset period (eg, the end time of providing compensation) based on the time when the guide information is provided through step S220, the second Additional rewards may be provided for achieving goals.

Here, the method of providing the additional reward according to the achievement of the second goal may be implemented in the same or similar form as the method of providing the reward according to the achievement of the first goal, but is not limited thereto.

In various embodiments, the server 100 provides an additional reward in response to the user achieving the second goal, but whether the second goal is achieved as the user performs the mission using the service included in the guide information can be determined to determine the size of the additional reward. For example, when the server 100 achieves the second goal by performing a mission using a service included in the guide information, the server 100 achieves the second goal as the user performs a mission using a service not included in the guide information. It can offer additional rewards that are greater than if they were achieved.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a guide to a user according to failure to achieve a goal, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure;

Referring to FIG. 5 , in step S310 , the server 100 may provide guide information to the user when it is determined that the user has not achieved the goal based on the information collected as the user performs the mission.

In various embodiments, when it is determined that the user has not achieved the goal, the server 100 determines one or more recommended missions for achieving the goal based on the mission performance history for the user for a predetermined period of time, and Guide information including information on the above recommended missions may be provided.

As an example, the server 100 may calculate the user's average use time (or average acquired experience value) for each of a plurality of services based on the user's mission performance history for a predetermined period, and the average use time (or N services can be sequentially selected as recommended missions starting with the service with the highest average amount of experience), and guide information can be provided to guide the user to achieve a goal by using the selected N services.

As another example, the server 100 may calculate the user's average use time (or average acquired experience value) for each of a plurality of services based on the user's mission performance history for a predetermined period, and the average use time (or N services may be sequentially selected as recommended missions starting from the service with the least average amount of experience gained), and guide information may be provided to guide the user to achieve a goal by using the selected N services.

In various embodiments, the server 100 may select N services as recommended missions sequentially from a low difficulty mission based on the difficulty level for each of a plurality of preset missions, and use the N services selected by the user. It can provide guide information to guide you to achieve your goals.

In various embodiments, the server 100 may select N services as recommended missions sequentially from a mission with a large amount of experience points, based on the amount of experience points obtainable by performing each of the plurality of missions, and the N services selected by the user You can provide guide information that guides you to achieve your goals by using the service.

In this case, the server 100 may provide the voice guide information so that the user can achieve a goal by performing a mission according to the guide information. For example, when the server 100 provides guide information for guiding a user to achieve a goal by using an exercise service, the server 100 outputs voice training information together to perform an accurate exercise according to the type of exercise included in the exercise service. can do.

In step S320 , the server 100 may provide a notification to the user when it is determined that the user has not achieved the goal based on the information collected as the user performs the mission. For example, when it is determined that the user has not achieved the goal by the preset time point based on information collected as the user performs the mission, the server 100 notifies the user every predetermined period from the preset time point. can provide

Here, the server 100 may calculate the average goal achievement time of the user based on the user's mission performance history for a predetermined period and define the calculated average goal achievement time point as a preset time, but is not limited thereto.

In this case, the server 100 may determine the properties of the notification provided to the user (eg, the type and size of the notification) based on the number of notifications provided to the user. For example, when it is determined that the user has not achieved the target for the first time, the server 100 may provide a first notification including a vibration signal or a voice signal of a first size, and after providing the first notification, the user When it is determined that the user has not achieved the second size, a second notification including a vibration signal or a voice signal may be provided. A third notification including a vibration signal and a voice signal may be provided.

In various embodiments, the server 100 provides a notification to the user when it is determined that the user has not achieved the goal based on information collected as the user performs a mission, but provides a notification to the user more than a preset number of times If it is determined that the user did not achieve the goal despite the can be induced to achieve.

In addition, when it is determined that the user has not achieved the goal despite providing the user with a notification more than a preset number of times, the server 100 lowers the goal for the user and provides information on the down-adjusted goal to the user. By guiding, you can guide the user to achieve the goal. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 6 , a method of matching teams so that a user can more effectively achieve a goal will be described.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a reward according to whether an individual goal and a team goal are achieved, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure;

Referring to FIG. 6 , in step S410 , the server 100 may set a personal goal for each of a plurality of users. Here, the method of setting a personal goal for each of the plurality of users may be implemented in the same or similar form as the goal setting method performed in step S110 of FIG. 3 , but is not limited thereto.

In step S420 , the server 100 may create a plurality of teams by grouping the plurality of users according to a preset criterion.

In various embodiments, the server 100 creates a plurality of teams by grouping users having the same personal goal, ie, grouping the plurality of users based on the personal goal, based on the personal goal set for each of the plurality of users. can do.

In various embodiments, the server 100 groups users performing the same mission to achieve a goal based on the mission performance history of each of the plurality of users, that is, grouping the plurality of users based on the type of mission. You can create a team of

In various embodiments, the server 100 groups the users performing the mission in the same time zone based on the mission performance history of each of the plurality of users, that is, grouping the plurality of users based on the lifestyle, thereby forming a plurality of teams. can create

In various embodiments, the server 100 creates a plurality of teams by grouping users with the same propensity to each other based on propensities (eg, MBTI) of each of the plurality of users, or selects users with complementary propensities. A plurality of teams may be created by grouping, that is, grouping a plurality of users based on the user's propensity.

In various embodiments, the server 100 may establish a community for creating a team, and may create a team through the community. For example, the server 100 may publish team-generated content on the community according to the request of the first user. Thereafter, the server 100 may group the first user and the one or more second users into a team in response to obtaining a team join request from the one or more second users through the team-generated content.

In step S430 , the server 100 may set a team goal for each of the plurality of teams generated through step S420 .

Here, the team goal may be set based on individual goals of users included in each of the plurality of teams. For example, in the case of a team composed of users having a goal regarding the use of the exercise service, the server 100 may set a team goal regarding the exercise service (eg, all users belonging to the team use the exercise service for N hours or more). , but not limited thereto.

In step S440 , the server 100 may provide a first reward to each of the plurality of users according to whether the individual goals of each of the plurality of users are achieved, and to each of the plurality of teams according to whether each of the plurality of teams has achieved the team goal. A second reward may be provided to the included users.

In various embodiments, when the team goal for the first team among the plurality of teams is achievement of the personal goal of all team members, the server 100 responds to the achievement of the personal goal for all users included in the first team. A second reward may be provided to users included in the team.

At this time, the server 100 determines the size of the second reward provided to the users included in the first team according to the individual goal achievement order, that is, induces competition among users included in the first team by using the size of the reward. By doing so, users can more quickly and actively achieve their personal goals.

In various embodiments, when it is determined that the first team goal for the first team has been achieved, the server 100 may set a second team goal for the first team in order to provide an additional reward. Here, the method of setting the second team goal for the first team may be implemented in the same or similar form as the second goal setting method performed in step S220 of FIG. 4 , but is not limited thereto.

In various embodiments, the server 100 mutually shares the mission performance status and goal achievement status among users grouped into one team, but the users check the mission performance status and target achievement status of users belonging to their team, and You can create an environment where you can motivate each other to achieve your goals.

For example, the server 100 provides a message transmission/reception service that allows a first user who has achieved a personal goal to send a support message to a second user who has not achieved the personal goal, or a community that can input a support message can provide In this case, when it is determined that the second user has achieved the personal goal, the server 100 may provide an additional reward to the first user who sent a cheering message to the second user.

In addition, when the user exceeds the goal, the server 100 allows the user to share a portion of the excess achievement amount of the goal with others, so that the user who has achieved the goal supports the user who has not achieved the goal. You can create an environment in which you can achieve your goals.

A method of providing motivation for achieving the above-described goal has been described with reference to the flowchart shown in the drawings. For the sake of simplicity, the method for providing motivation for achieving a goal has been described as a series of blocks, but the present invention is not limited to the order of the blocks, and some blocks are performed in an order different from that illustrated and described herein or may be performed simultaneously.
