Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the operation of the preferred embodiment according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a schematic block diagram of a system for interworking a real-time data transmission program and an animal character development simulation game program constructed in accordance with the present invention. The illustrated invention includes a server system 100 and a plurality of clients 300 connected through a network such as the Internet 200.

The server system 100 includes a web server 110, a messenger module 120, a tracking module 130, and a home page 150 generated by the web server 110.

The web server 110 performs a function of establishing an environment that can provide a web service to a client connected to the home page 150 (see FIG. 3) through the Internet 200. The web server 110 provides various real-time data transmission service functions such as a messenger, an e-mail transmission, a message transmission and reception to each client 300 connected through the home page 150, program downloads, quiz solving, banners, group subscriptions, Provides various events such as gift selection, product purchase, etc., and points the service function usage track and status of the client 300 to the database (DB) 140 whenever the user moves the web page corresponding to the service function or event selected by the user. Accumulate as (point). The cumulative point of the client 300 recorded in the database 140 acts as a factor that brings about the gradual growth of the animal character and the change of the animation effect in connection with the animal character development simulation, as described below. The present situation is called the growth factor of the character.

The messenger module 120 is a program module that periodically manages the client 300 as an online state with the client 300. The messenger module 120 provides TCP / IP and sockets (or sockets) to the client 300 visiting the home page 150. A thread is used to form a thread for each client 300. The thread in charge formed by the messenger module 120 may download the character messenger program according to the present invention to the client 300 and have an animal character (see FIG. 3) together with a messenger performing a real-time data transmission function in the client 300. To be created. In addition, the messenger module 120 performs a function of bringing a change in behavior for allowing the character of the client 300 to perform different series of animations in connection with the web server 110 and to grow the character step by step. do. Specifically, the messenger module 120 acts as a type of behavior of the client 300 selectively using various service functions provided on the home page 150 (see FIG. 3) of the present system as illustrated in Table 1 below. According to this, the character causes a corresponding behavior change as illustrated in Table 2, i.e., 1 to 24 specific animations. Table 3 lists the scenes of the animations illustrated in Table 2. The functions and animation scenes listed in Tables 1, 2, and 3 are stored in the lookup table memory or the database 140.

In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the behavioral changes of the characters illustrated in Table 2 are divided into five grades, each time a transition from a lower grade to a higher grade is a new type of advanced animation behavior in the basic animation behavior scene. It can be seen that the scene is additionally produced. This is by controlling the character of the client 300 so that the character growth-related elements built in the database 140 of the web server 110, that is, when the points reach a certain level, can act above the action scene made in the corresponding grade. Can be realized. For example, suppose the client 300 is acting as "self click" illustrated in Table 1, but only the basic animated behavior of the scene "10 (ie, sitting and flirting in Table 3)" listed in Table 2. As the growth factors accumulate, the characters are animated from 1 to 13 scenes in the first grade, 14 to 16 scenes in the second grade, 17 to 19 scenes in the third grade, and 20 in the fourth grade. Characters can be grown to perform up to -23 scenes and up to the last 24 acts in the fifth grade. In addition, for characters grown up to the fifth grade, a process called a growth motion (scene 25 in Table 3), a first transformation stage (scene 26 in Table 3), and a second transformation stage (scene 27 in Table 3) is introduced. To transform into a completely different image of a character, a mature object.

This stepwise advance is referred to herein as the term growth. The growth of such a character can be implemented by phasing out a function that has been previously prevented from being used in the database 140 by the messenger module 120, and the messenger module 120 is provided whenever there is a gradual progression of the character. The client 300 provides a message informing the growth of the character, and creates a dedicated thread providing a new animation.

The tracking module 130 keeps track of which site of the home page 150 is located to determine which of the various functions the client 300 provides through the home page 150. Program module. The location tracking function of the tracking module 130 has various growth factors of the home page 150 including dynamic HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) and ASP (Application Survice Provider) to affect the growth of the client 300 character. Since it is crazy, such details, that is, service usage history and status, are notified to the web server 110 to be recorded in the client log file in the database 140.

The client 300 is a general web user, a member who accesses the service system of the present invention and subscribes as a member, and downloads the character messenger program from the home page 150 provided from the web server 110 at the time of membership registration. Means a user who has a PC or PC to create a character. The character of the client 300 always has the priority displayed at the top of the window screen on the PC. These characters implement a windowless shaped graphic user interface and animation using the Microsoft SDK Agent character, in order to use lightweight components to minimize the burden on resources. Animation uses the "gif" format, a two-dimensional graphics format.

The character of the client 300 must always know where the client 300 is located. This is for the character to perform different series of animations according to the intention to use various service functions of the client 300. When the client 300 clicks on a growth factor that affects the growth and behavior of the character on the homepage, that is, clicking on a banner, joining a group, solving a quiz, introducing a friend, sending and receiving mail, downloading, and searching, the tracking module 130 is displayed. By the position of the client 300 is detected, according to the detected information, the messenger module 120 provides an animation message to the client 300, so that the character of the client 300 has a corresponding animation behavior and stepwise growth Do it.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail as follows with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

2A is a flowchart illustrating the behavior of a client as the client visits the web site of the present invention.

First, when the client 300 visits the home page (see FIG. 3) provided by the web site of the present invention, the web server 110 may provide various types of characters to the client 300 so that the client 300 may desire. One character is selected (step 210).

Next, the client 300 selects one of the characters, for example, the dog character (illustrated on the right side of FIG. 3), and downloads the character message program provided by the messenger module 120 of the present invention. Received (step 220), it is installed in the computer of the client 300 (step 230). At this time, the messenger function installed in the computer of the client 300 resides in the task bar in the form of an icon or an icon on the monitor. As a result, a messenger function provided by the server system 100 of the present invention and an environment in which a character simulation linked thereto is executed can be created.

FIG. 2B is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a client downloading a character messenger uses various real-time data transmission service functions provided by the server system of the present invention, and accordingly, a character is raised.

When the client 300 clicks the messenger icon on his computer, the messenger program is executed, and the dog character selected by the client 300 is displayed along with a window for inputting the ID and password of the client 300 on the initial screen. It is displayed at the top of the screen (step 240).

Next, as in step 250, if the client 300 logs in by entering its ID and password, the homepage 150 appears in the client's web browser as illustrated in FIG. The web server 110 registers the connection of the homepage of the client 300 to a log file in the database 140.

Thereafter, the client 300 uses various messenger functions provided on the home page (step 260), and the track of the client 300 is tracked by the tracking module 130 at this time, and the database 140 of the web server 110 is tracked. The log file of the client in question is updated (step 270).

In the next step 280, the messenger module 120 searches the log files in the database 140 to determine whether the messenger service usage has reached a stage of growth or transformation. If it is determined that the growth or metamorphosis level is reached, the process proceeds to the next step 290, where the animation grade of the character illustrated in Table 3 is performed to level up or metamorphosis of the character.

However, if the growth or metamorphosis level has not been reached, the process proceeds to step 300 whereby the messenger module 120 provides a corresponding message to the client 300 in accordance with the use of the messenger service of the client 300 so that the character is assigned to each of them. Perform the animation corresponding to the event of the service function.

As a result, as described in FIG. 2B, the character of the client 300 performs the corresponding animation according to the selected event among the messenger service functions provided by the service system of the present invention, and stepwise according to the usage status thereof. As a result, the animation behavior will operate as an upgraded form.

As described above, according to the character (animal upbringing) simulation method linked to the real-time data transfer service between a client connected to a network and a real-time data transfer service system according to the present invention, dependent animal breeding is executed only on a normal homepage. By avoiding the shortcomings of the game, it is possible to enjoy the game of animal development while using various services online by interworking with the real-time data transmission program, thereby satisfying the convenience and convenience of providing the service function to the client at the same time. will be.

In addition, by operating a tracking module and a messenger module that are independent of a web server that generally controls a home page in general from a system side, it is possible to provide a smoother service by distributing traffic phenomena due to multi-access of the home page.
