Abstract

PURPOSE: A method and a system for progressing a quiz using a communication network and a recording media storing the progressing method are provided to induce the interest of a user by allowing the user to solve the quiz with reference to the choice of other people. CONSTITUTION: A user participating in a quiz event connects through a communication network(S210), and a processor of a server computer displays a main screen and identifies as to whether the user previously becomes of member(S220). If the user is not the member, the processor induces that the user becomes the member and endows the user with user's own specific ID(identification) and a password(S230). If the user is the member, the processor draws out one of questions stored in a question information DB(database) and shows it to the user through a screen(S240). The screen includes the first window provided for the choice of each user and the second window. That is, the user reads the displayed questions and examples and clicks one of the examples what the user wants. The result selected from the user is inputted to a selecting result of a database(S250), and is instantly added to the result value selected by existing users and is displayed on the second window to an accumulated result value(S260). When the choice of the user is over, the processor performs a dividing measure on the result(S270), and determines as to whether a next question is more prepared(S280). If other question is prepared, the processor shows other question through the serve screen.

Description

Quiz proceeding method and system via a communications network and a medium for recording that method

The present invention relates to a quiz progress method and system using a communication network and a recording medium storing the method.

Recently, with the development of a communication network such as the Internet, cyber exchange between netizens using the communication network has been activated. In response to these trends, marketing methods are being introduced to induce many netizens to connect with netizens and to promote advertisement effects. Among these events, an optional problem-solving method, or quiz method, which presents participants with multiple views through a communication network and selects one of them, is proposed. It is widely used because of its ease of participation.

By the way, the quiz progression method that has been used so far was only to allow users who participated in the event to proceed with their own Q & A. In other words, a user who connects to a server computer sees the questions provided by the server, decides by himself, and then selects one of the views. There is only a conversation between the server and the user while solving the problem. This method is not enough to keep the user interested because the liveness of the event is less active. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, there is a demand for a new method of quiz progression that can draw a continuous interest of the user by bringing the progress of the event to life.

The present invention was created in view of the above necessity, and an object of the present invention is to provide a quiz proceeding method and system and a recording medium in which the method is stored so that a user connected through a communication network can refer to selections of other users in real time. .

In addition, the present invention for achieving the above object, in the quiz progress system to present a user-selected question to a user connected through a communication network and receive and process the user's selection for it, the information of the connected user and the user A database for storing question information to be presented and a result selected by the user; And a processor for presenting a question with a selectable view to the user, simultaneously displaying a selection situation of all the users for the question, and accumulating and displaying the result selected by the user in the selection situation of all the users.

In addition, the recording medium of the present invention for achieving the above object, in the first window and presenting a plurality of views that can be selected as the answer to the question with the content of the question to users connected through the communication network, Providing a second window for displaying a selection situation of all users for the group; Receiving a selection of each user through the first window; And accumulating the input selection result and continuously displaying the selected selection result in the second window in real time.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 shows a configuration of a computer network system constructed for carrying out the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a plurality of user computers 120 are connected to the server computer 110 via a communication network 100 such as the Internet. The server computer 110 is provided with a processor 111 in which a program for implementing a quiz progression through a communication network and a database 112 for storing various information. A user may access a web page provided by the server computer 110 through a web browser installed on the user computer 120.

As described above, the quiz method according to the present invention is performed in the networked environment. The quiz described here includes the case of all optional questions such as personality tests or questionnaire surveys to obtain predetermined statistics, as well as problem solving such as O / X or multiple choice, which are correct answers.

First, when a user who wants to participate in the quiz event of the present invention is connected through a communication network (S210), the processor 111 of the server computer 110 displays the main screen as shown in FIG. 3 and checks whether the user is already a registered member. Check (S220). If not, the member is induced to join as a member and a unique ID and password are given (S230). This member information is stored in the user DB 112a of the database 110. When it is confirmed that the user is a member, the processor 111 pulls out one of the questions stored in the question information DB 112b and presents it to the user through the sub-screen as shown in FIG. 4 (S240). In this case, the presented sub-screen includes a first window 410 provided for each user's selection, and a second window 420 provided to show the cumulative selection result of all users. That is, the user reads the questions and views presented on the sub-screen, and then clicks a portion corresponding to the view selected by the user among the plurality of selection areas allocated to the first window 410. In addition, the result selected by the user is input to the selection result DB 112c of the database 112 (S250), which is immediately added to the existing selection result of all the users and accumulated in the second window 420. The result is displayed (S260). Here, the cumulative result is displayed as the frequency of the point.

In the present specification, an example in which a selection result DB into which a user's selection result is input is embedded in the server computer 110 has been described. However, the selection result DB may be embedded in each user computer 120. In addition, the location of a view selected by other users may be recognized as coordinates on each user's computer and transmitted to the server computer or each user computer. In this case, each user's computer may show the location selected by other users.

Therefore, the user can confirm the change in the total cumulative value according to the user's selection in real time, and can determine his / her choice while referring to the result distribution of the results selected by other users in real time even before the user's selection is decided. It is. In this way, the results of other users 'choices can be determined by referencing the results in a fully open state in real time, which can add to the quiz progress and encourage users' interest in previewing the selection trends of others. have. Of course, some users may not like to preview the selection results of other users in order to prevent prejudice. In this case, the second window 420 may be closed by clicking the "Selection result on / off" button provided on the sub screen, and may be opened again as necessary.

In the present specification, the "selection result on / off" button is described as being embedded only in each user computer, but the "selection result on / off" button may be embedded in the server computer 110. In this case, the operator of the server computer can play the quiz game without revealing the result selected by the other person.

In addition, the present specification has described an example in which the first window and the second window are separately installed. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the first window and the second window may be implemented as one window.

When the user's selection is completed as described above, the processor 111 makes a discernment action (S270), and determines whether the next problem is further prepared (S280). Present another problem. For example, if the question is a solution to a correct answer, the wrong answer is eliminated and the next question is presented only to the correct answer. At this time, even users who do not know the correct answer can see the distribution of the selection of other users in advance, so if you follow it, it is more likely that you will be more likely to match. In addition, in the case of questionnaires such as questionnaire, it is possible to refer to the thoughts of other users in advance so that it can be more lively and interesting than responding to the server in isolation.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment has been shown to display the cumulative result value as a dot, it may be displayed by directly integrating the numerical value, or may be displayed as a change in the size of the figure as a bar graph as shown in FIG. Either one can visually change the cumulative value to the user.

And, the quiz progress method as described above may be programmed and stored in the processor 111 of the server computer 110 as in the present embodiment, or may be stored and used in another computer-readable recording medium. Of course. Computer-readable recording media include all kinds of recording devices that store data that can be read by a computer system. Examples of computer-readable recording media include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disks, optical data storage devices, and the like, and those implemented in the form of carrier waves (eg, transmission over the Internet). The computer readable recording medium can also be distributed over network coupled computer systems so that the computer readable code is stored and executed in a distributed fashion.

As described above, the quiz proceeding method, system and recording medium according to the present invention can give a participating user a change in the cumulative result value according to the selection of other users in real time, and invigorate the quiz progress, and also fully There is an advantage that can induce users' interest in being able to solve the quiz by referring to the selection of others in the open state.

It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to that described above and illustrated in the drawings, and that more modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the following claims.
