When the display unit 22 is implemented as a touch screen, the input unit 21 can be implemented on a touch screen, and through user manipulation, user information such as nickname, representative image, nationality, etc., and information on the area of the area in the metaverse are displayed. , It is a component for inputting activity information for attacking and defending the area.

The photographing unit 24 includes a camera module, and the user can photograph the terrain, buildings, landscapes, etc. of an area owned by the user through the photographing unit 24 and upload them to the metaverse as area-related information.

The memory 29 is a device that stores the data transmitted and received through the communication unit 23, the game application and the data necessary for performing the application, and includes RAM, ROM, EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory), and SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Memory). It may be composed of Random Access Memory (HDD) or HDD, but the present invention does not limit the type of memory unit 25.

The profile management unit 26 manages profile information such as the user's name, ID, nickname, character, icon, and image. Among the profile information, ID, nickname, character, etc. can be used to mark the area as the user's area after the user occupies or conquers a specific area. Additionally, the profile management unit 26 manages the user's game point accumulation history, deduction history, etc.

The area management unit 27 connects to the game server 12 and determines whether the user's current location is an area occupied or conquered by another user in the metaverse, a neutral area without an owner, or an area owned by the user, and accordingly Depending on the area, you can either occupy the area without war, attack for conquest and wage war, or simply visit to look around. Additionally, the area management unit 27 manages properties such as name, message, image, video, and defense of the area owned by the user.

When a user actually moves to another user's territory or moves on the metaverse and requests an attack, the war management department (28) conducts a war with the area using a certain amount of game points and changes ownership depending on the results of the war. Performs settlement processing of game points.

The control unit 20 controls the operation of each component described above by executing the land-dating game application according to the present invention.

It performs ground-breaking activities such as occupation, attack, and visit, and is controlled to receive game points from the game server 12 according to the results of land-attack activities.

Figure 3 is a functional block diagram for explaining the land-dating game server 12 and the database 13.

The game server 12 is a computing device including a control unit 30, a memory 31, an input unit 32, a display unit 33, and a communication unit 34. The game program executed by the control unit 30 is operated by subscribers. It may include a management unit 35, an area management unit 36, an attack management unit 37, a map management unit 38, and an advertisement management unit 39. In addition, the game server 12 may be equipped with a database 13 that stores subscriber information, map information, area information, war information, advertisement information, etc. used to provide a game service to users.

The communication unit 34 is a device for transmitting and receiving data with a plurality of user terminals 11 and consists of a wired and wireless network. In the present invention, the type of network is not limited, and various wired and wireless communication methods such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Bluetooth, 3G, 4G, LTE, LTE-A, LAN, WAN, and equivalent methods can be applied. .

The control unit 30 provides the Ttangttameokgi game application to the user terminal 11 and controls the operations of other components to be linked with the Ttangttameokgi game application. The control unit 30 performs the game by receiving the game request information and current location information from the user terminal 11 in conjunction with the game application, and controls the metaverse according to whether or not the area is occupied according to the game performance results. Electronic map information can be updated and game points can be given to the user terminal 11 at the same time.

The subscriber management unit 35 manages user information such as identification information, profile information, and information on owned areas of users who connect through the user terminal 11 and play the game.

Additionally, the subscriber management unit 35 dynamically manages the game points of each user according to the progress of the game. Game points are generated for areas corresponding to land owned by the user, and after a certain period of time, a set number of game points will be paid to the owner for each area. Basically, the land grab game of the present invention can be provided to users for free, and users can play the game with game points that are automatically accumulated over time. Additionally, users can purchase additional game points for a fee.

Game points can be used to attack other users' lands. In addition, the user can move around and move to a location with the land grab game turned on on the user terminal 11. If the user's current location is an empty land without an owner, the user can occupy and own the area, and the user can When visiting a land, a certain amount of game points are paid to the user as compensation for the visit. The subscriber management unit 35 can continuously track the current location of the user terminal 11 using GPS and process occupation, attack, or visit depending on the user's location.

The map management unit 38 creates a metaverse using an actual map of reality, and divides the world map into multiple areas to use it as a unit of land-grabbing. Division of the area can be performed by various methods. For example, the world map can be divided at predetermined intervals to create cells, or divided into multiple areas based on actual administrative districts, and not only the land but also the sea can be divided into multiple areas and made into land-grabbing targets. .

The area management unit 36 performs overall management of the areas divided by the map management unit 38, including owners, names, defenses, and attributes.

The workshop management department 37 conducts wars between users who occupy and occupy areas that do not have owners, attack to conquer and take away areas owned by other users, and defend to protect the areas they own. Control it to do so.

The workshop management unit 37 tracks the user's current location through the GPS module 25 of the user terminal 11 and controls the land where the user is currently located so that if there is no owner, the land can be occupied first according to the user's selection. According to one embodiment, there may be a limit to the number of areas that one user can actually visit and occupy per day. For example, you can control a user to only be able to occupy up to 5 areas per day.

The user can move the location on the metaverse, which can be accessed through the user terminal 11, and conquer another user's land without going there directly. For example, the battle management department 37 can control a second user in Seoul to apply for a turf war for a territory in New York owned by the first user and fight a battle so that the second user takes over the corresponding land. there is. Unlike the limit on the number of times a Muju territory can be occupied, there is no limit to the number of attacks to conquer another user's land, and you can conduct an unlimited territory war as long as your game points allow.

The advertisement management unit 39 manages advertisements to be posted in each area of the metaverse, advertisers, advertisement conditions, user compensation related to advertisements, etc., and performs advertisements in the metaverse served through the user terminal 11.

Hereinafter, using FIGS. 4 to 11C, the process in which the game server 12 and the user terminal 11 work in conjunction with each other to perform a game of land grabs based on the user's location linked to a real map will be described in more detail.

Figure 4 is a flowchart for explaining a method of performing a land grab game based on a user's location linked to a real map according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figures 5 to 11c show user interface screens according to various embodiments of the present invention. This is an example.

In step S41, a metaverse is created using an actual map. When the actual map is updated, the map on the metaverse is dynamically changed to reflect the update.

In step S42, the metaverse is divided into multiple areas by dividing the land on the map according to predetermined criteria. For example, the land on Earth can be pixelated in units of 100㎥, divided into multiple areas, and users can be controlled to occupy or conquer the land in each area.

Figures 5 and 6 illustrate a metaverse screen created to be linked to a real map in a land grab game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 5, a map of the metaverse created based on a real map is provided to the user, and user information 51 including the ID, level, game points, and landmark quantity of the connected user is displayed at the bottom of the screen. It is done. Additionally, the user who owns the land in the metaverse can be displayed in each area. In the case of an area 52 with an owner, information about the owner may be displayed, and in the case of an area 53 without an owner, an empty space may be displayed without any information.

The level of a user may be determined based on the number of areas owned by the user. In the example of Figure 5, considering that the level of user 'adfe128167' is 40, it can be seen that the user owns 40 areas. Additionally, the user's defense power may be determined in proportion to the user's level. In the case of user 'adfe128167', he has a lot of land and is at a high level, so his defense is also high, so other users can recognize that it is not easy to attack that user.

Game points are points that the user can use for attacks, and landmark quantity indicates the number of areas that the user has that have been promoted to landmarks.

Users can set the name of the land they own. The name can be determined or changed later by occupying Korea's Dokdo and giving it the name 'Dokdo is our land'. Users can use this function as an event, for example, by proposing by displaying a small message in the name of the area they own and clicking the 'Share via SNS (Social Network Service)' button to link to the information. You can send it to the desired party.

Figure 6 is an enlarged example of the screen of Figure 5.

Referring to FIG. 6, it can be seen that information about the area 52 owned by user 'Halley1234' is displayed in more detail than in FIG. 5. Detailed information about the area, such as the owner's level, user information including the character (61), name of the area (63), and landmark grade of the area (62), can be displayed within the area.

The game server 12 determines the nationality by querying the information of users who own each area of the metaverse displayed on the user terminal 11, and determines the nationality of the user who dominantly owns the land of the metaverse to create graphics. It can be displayed as data.

Figure 7 illustrates a screen displaying the dominant user nationality for land in a land grab game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, as shown within the circle 71, the dominant user nationality of the land displayed on the game screen can be displayed in the form of infographics. In the example of Figure 7, it can be seen that the Chinese own more than half of the metaverse displayed on the screen, followed by Koreans and Japanese, in that order, the area of land they occupy decreases.

The user nationality display screen can be enlarged or reduced depending on the user's input, and can provide more detailed nationality information as it accumulates. For example, if the screen is enlarged, it will be possible to provide detailed information such as what percentage of Japan's land is occupied by Koreans or that Koreans occupy more than half of the entire country.

In step S43, the location of the user terminal is tracked using GPS, and ownership is assigned by setting the ownerless area where the user is located as occupied by the user. When a subscriber moves around in the real world with a terminal, the subscriber's movements are tracked using GPS. If it is determined that the subscriber has entered an unoccupied area, a user interface is displayed on the terminal asking whether to occupy the area, and the user decides to occupy the area. If selected, the area will be occupied by the subscriber.

In one embodiment, when new land is owned by directly visiting and occupying the land, this area is invincible and is controlled to not receive any attacks for a certain period of time (e.g., 24 hours), so that the new owner can control the newly occupied land. It provides time to check and manage territories and prevents sector-specific turf wars.

In one embodiment, the game server 12 determines the area to which the user actually moved by tracking the GPS of each user terminal 11, and occupies an unoccupied area for areas without an owner, and occupies an ownerless area for areas with an owner. It can be controlled to allow attack or visitation. Additionally, the area where the owner is located can be controlled to enable a turf war to attack the area even if the user moves on the metaverse instead of actually moving around.

In other words, users can move around the real world with the land-grabbing game on and occupy unowned areas or attack or visit owner-occupied areas. On the other hand, for areas found on the metaverse without the user directly going there, it is possible to attack if there is an owner, but it is not possible to occupy the area if there is no owner of the area.

Figure 8 is an example screen for explaining area occupation in a land grab game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the user moves around with the land-dating game turned on, the user's current location 81 will be displayed in real time. If the user is in an ownerless area, the area can be controlled to be occupied according to the user's operations. In this way, the user can immediately occupy the Muju area while moving around and gain the effect of level increase and game point acquisition.

In one embodiment, the number of areas that a user can occupy during a predetermined period may be set in advance, thereby limiting the amount of land that the user can occupy while moving around.

In one embodiment, the number of areas that a user can occupy during a predetermined period of time may be differentiated according to the user's level. Specifically, the number of areas that can be occupied by general users that can occupy ownerless areas for a certain period of time is set to a predetermined value, and when a general user becomes a member user through a paid service, etc., the number of areas that can be occupied can be adjusted upward according to the membership level. there is.

In step S44, a turf war is conducted between subscribers. When a war is requested from a second user for the first user's first territory, a territory war is performed based on the game points presented by the second user for the territory war and the defense power of the first area.

When determining the defense power of a specific area, the defense power can be determined according to the owner level, which is set by considering the number of areas owned by the owner of the area or the area of the property, and the game points presented for the attack by the second user who attempted the attack. The victory or defeat of a turf war can be judged based on the defense power of the attacked first territory.

Therefore, in order to effectively defend the land you own, you must expand the land you own by continuously occupying empty land or conquering other people's land through attacks.

Figures 9 and 10 are examples of screens for explaining visits to and attacks on other people's areas in a land grab game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When a user selects a desired area (90) in the metaverse of the game, the game server (12) determines whether the area is already occupied by another user, and if it is another user's area, whether to attack for conquest or simply A user interface 92 is displayed asking whether to visit only. Additionally, owner information 91 of the area can also be displayed on the screen to help the user in making decisions.

As in the example of Figure 9, if the user decides to wage a turf war to conquer territory 90, it is necessary to enter game points to be used for the attack (93). If the user selects to initiate an attack, the game server 12 will conduct a turf war to determine victory or loss and display the result (94).

Likewise, in order to attack an area owned by another user, you must enter game points to use for the attack. In this case, you must enter game points higher than the level of the war opponent to win the war. The outcome of the war is randomly calculated by the game server 12 and immediately delivered to the user. The game server 12 can calculate the outcome of the war so that it is probabilistically advantageous for the defender rather than the attacker.

Game points used in the turf war will be lost regardless of the outcome of the turf war, and if defense is successful in the turf war, attacks on that territory are restricted to be prohibited for a certain period of time (e.g. 6 hours).

Attacks on areas owned by others can be carried out by the user directly going to the land, but it is also possible to attack by clicking on the desired location on the metaverse map. However, simultaneously attacking an area that is already being attacked by another user may be prohibited.

As shown in Figure 10, when the user selects to visit the corresponding area, a certain number of game points are paid as compensation (101). You can earn game points by simply visiting lands owned by others without attacking them. If you do not have enough game points to attack someone else's territory or there is no empty land nearby to occupy, you can earn game points by actually visiting someone else's land. However, the number of game point recharges through such visits may be limited. For example, by limiting visit charging to five times a day, indiscriminate visits to land owned by others can be prevented. Additionally, visiting the same land more than twice a day may also be prohibited.

In step S45, ownership of the target area is changed according to the result of the turf war. If the second user who attacked the area wins the war, ownership will be transferred to the second user, and if the second user loses the war, ownership will remain with the first user.

In step S46, each subscriber's game points are dynamically managed according to the passage of time, the outcome of war, and area visit history.

The game server 12 periodically pays game points generated from each user's owned area to the corresponding user over time, and deducts or deducts each user's game points depending on the results of each area war and area visit history. give.

Game points refer to the user's attack power, and over time, game points for each owned area can be generated and automatically recharged. Additionally, a certain amount of game points can be awarded when occupying an ownerless area or visiting someone else's land.

In one embodiment, the game server 12 may determine the landmark grade of the area based on the number of wars for each area, and adjust the defense of the area upward according to the landmark grade. Additionally, the game point increase rate for the owner of the area can be adjusted depending on the landmark level.

Areas where turf wars have occurred more than a certain number of times can be promoted from general areas to landmarks, and areas that have become landmarks can be marked separately on the metaverse map. Additionally, in turf wars for land that has been promoted to a landmark, the defender's probability of victory is set higher, and the territory can be controlled so that more game points are paid to the owner. In other words, owning a landmark makes it easier to attack other users, makes it harder for landmarks to be taken away, and owners who own landmarks enjoy the benefit of accumulating game points faster than owners who do not. You can.

Figures 11A to 11C are examples of screens for explaining land promoted to a landmark in a land grab game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In one embodiment, landmark areas can be managed into multiple grades to differentiate landmark effects, such as game point payment speed, according to grade. For example, the grade of a landmark area is divided into three grades: 'Hot', 'Diamond', and 'Legend', and if more than 10 battles occur in the same area, it is promoted to 'Hot' grade, and if more than 50 battles occur, it is promoted to 'Hot' grade. Areas where battles have occurred can be managed to be promoted to 'Diamond' level, and areas where battles have occurred more than 100 times can be managed to be promoted to 'Legend'. In addition, in wars against 'Diamond' grade areas, the defender has an 80% chance of winning, and the benefit can be granted so that the speed of game point payment per hour increases by 5 times compared to normal areas. In addition, in wars against 'Legend' grade areas, the defender has a 90% chance of winning, and the benefit can be granted to increase the speed of game point payment per hour by 10 times compared to normal areas. Accordingly, owning a landmark will increase game points, making it easier to attack and defend other users' lands.

Figure 11a is an example of the land 1101 where the 'Tokyo Tower' is located being promoted to a 'Hot' grade landmark, and Figure 11b is an example of the land 1102 near the 'Eiffel Tower' being promoted to the 'Legend' grade. Figure 11c shows an example where land 1103 near 'Dokdo' was upgraded to 'Legend' grade.

The land grab game according to the present invention is basically provided for free, and various configurations can be added to generate profits.

For example, no matter how much free users roam, they cannot occupy land indefinitely, and are limited to occupying only a certain number of areas (e.g. 5) per day. However, if they become paid users by paying a monthly fee or use certain items, they can occupy the land indefinitely. The number of areas that can be secured can be increased (e.g., adjusted to 20). In addition, game points are paid periodically over time, but the maximum game points that each user can hold is limited to a predetermined value. However, for paid users, the game point holding limit can be raised or the speed of game point payment can be increased.

Meanwhile, the metaverse according to the present invention is created based on a real map, so although it is in the form of a game, it can be used as a map app while playing the game.

Additionally, advertising effects can be created by displaying information or a link for a specific company in the area information when a user clicks or visits a certain location on the metaverse map. Companies wishing to promote within the land grab game according to the present invention can select a specific land and apply for rental, and by paying a small fee, advertising information will be exposed to users who click or visit the corresponding area. .

When a certain area on the metaverse is used for advertising, a portion of the advertising revenue can be paid to the user who owns the area in the form of game points or separate advertising points, and when these points accumulate, they can be controlled to be cashed out. .
