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

1 is a flowchart of a cyber life development program according to the present invention.

Cyber life is a graphic character working in virtual space. Cyber life has an index. The index is a feature that defines the behavior of cyber life, and the behavior according to each index is preset in the program. In one embodiment of the invention, the cyber life has elements of love index, intelligence index, sensitivity index and health index.

The love index can be composed of four elements: the give and take index, the one direction love index, the emotional index, and the dream index. The bilateral love index increases and decreases with the user's response to the behavior of cyber life, and the unilateral love index increases and decreases with the user's one-sided and constant love. The emotional index can be increased through various communication with cyber life, and the dream index can be increased through schedule management and diary writing.

The intelligence index may be composed of a cyber intelligence index, a desktop intelligence index, and a rational index. The cyber intelligence index is shown as the level of information searched by users through the Internet, and the desktop intelligence index is shown as the level of information used by users on the desktop. Also, rational index should be inversely proportional to sensitivity.

The sensitivity index indicates homogeneity with the user. The sensitivity index can be used as a factor in creating a unique habit or depending on the user. The higher the ratio index, the lower the sensitivity index inversely.

The health index may consist of a food index and a parenting index. The feed index is added to or subtracted from the feeding cycle supplied from the cyber, and the raising index can be increased by exercising.

In addition, the cyber life can be classified according to the type. For example, a pig may have 10% love, 20% intelligence, 20% sensitivity, 100% health, and a puppy may have 40% love, 80% intelligence, 60% sensitivity, 60% health. In addition, the index may be varied according to the age of the user.

Cyberlife initially has specific indices. In addition, the behavior of cyber life according to each index is set in advance.

Cyberlife behaves in a manner determined by the index. Cyberlife acts, for example, by expressing food, boring or messy.

The user may enter responsive data about the behavior of the cyber life. For example, you can respond to foods that you want to feed, play about expressions that are boring, give snacks or educate you, and bathe / clean for expressions that are dirty. have.

According to the user's input data, cyber life executes a corresponding animation, and the corresponding index of cyber life is added or subtracted. For example, if a user inputs a feed for the expression of feeding, cyber life executes an animation of eating food, while increasing the health index of the cyber life. On the other hand, if there is no user response, the health index decreases.

Cyber life changes its behavior according to the index added or subtracted by the user's response. Increasing the index reveals more behavior.

According to the changed behavior, the cyber life acts and the feedback is repeated.

In addition, the cyber life may include advertising by wearing clothes displayed on the advertisement or eating food on which the advertisement is displayed. For example, the advertisement may be performed by performing an animation such as wearing clothes or shoes displayed on the advertisement and drinking a beverage on which the advertisement is displayed. Program sellers or cyber life cultivation system operators can make money through these advertisements.

The cyber life cultivation program resides on a user's computer on which a client application is installed. The cyber life may be performed offline or online.

The client application may be installed on a user's computer using a recording medium on which the cyber life development program is recorded. For example, a CD in which a cyber life development program is recorded may be purchased and installed, or the program may be downloaded and installed by accessing a corresponding website.

When the user installs the cyber life development program, the user can select the type and character of the cyber life that suits his or her taste. In addition, it is desirable to allow the user to name the cyber life and decorate the character.

2 is a block diagram of the client application 10 of the present invention.

The client application 10 comprises an input data analyzer 12, a cyber life behavior processor 14, a data accumulator 16, a client application information store 18 and a server application transfer processor 19. .

When the user 20 inputs data, the input data analyzer 12 converts and classifies the input data by processing type. Processing types classified by the input data analyzer 12 may be classified into feedback requests, analysis and storage data, and internet communication requests.

The feedback request is to execute a command to foster cyber life, for example, to feed or play. The feedback request is determined by the cyber life behavior processor 14 to determine the cyber life behavior, and outputs an animation or text, etc., and the result of the behavior processor is stored in the cyber life application information storage 18. do.

The analysis and storage data are data such as user information and environment, and the data is analyzed and processed by the data accumulation processor 16 and stored in the cyber life information storage 18.

In addition, when a user requests an Internet communication, the server application transmission processor 19 searches for cyber life related information in the information storage 18 of the cyber life application and transmits the information to the server application through the Internet.

In the cyber life development program, it is desirable to set the feeding time according to the period.

3 illustrates the operation of the cyber life development program according to each period when the cyber life is set up and the program is started.

When you start a program, you know how many times it runs, and when you start the program for the first time, you register yourself and set default options. Save the default options and run cyber life according to the options set for each period.

The set period may consist of one stage up to five days after setup, two stages of five days to one month, and three stages after one month.

At the beginning of the program after the second time, the time is immediately checked, the initial animation is executed, and the number of executions of the cyber life is determined for each period. When running for the first time in each period, set the feeding options for each period and grow your cyber life. If the number of executions of the cyber life is more than once in each period, the cyber life can be immediately executed.

4 illustrates a method of setting time for fostering cyber life.

The user may select and execute the execution time of the cyber life either manually by a program or actively according to the taste of the user.

Manual execution by a program may be caused by a time set in the system or by a random function.

In the case of the system, the exponent is added or subtracted according to the situation by comparing the time stored in the database of the cyber life application with the system time.In the case of the random function, the exponent is added or decreased according to the user's response to the random function of the cyber life application. do. In addition, the user selects the option according to the user's taste, the index is added or subtracted according to the growth according to the selected time, it is preferable that the user can select and input the feeding time.

5 is an embodiment of the present invention, which shows the user's response to the behavior of the cyber life and the addition and subtraction of the index.

When Cyberlife asks for food, the index increases as the user runs the food. When the cyber life is boring, the user can choose to educate, play or snack. If the user does not respond, the index decreases, and if you choose to educate, play, or choose a snack cycle, the index increases. In addition, when the user does not respond when the cyber life is messy, the index decreases, and when the bath / clean is performed, the index increases.

6 illustrates the addition or subtraction of an index according to a user's response to a random function of cyber life.

The user's response to cyber life's random behavior causes the exponent to be added or subtracted. The random behavior function can be set in the system and automatically appear as the behavior of the cyber life, and also the behavior according to the index of the cyber life. When random behaviors appear, the user can choose to express affection, such as stroking, playing or snacking, and the exponent increases when executed. If no love expression is chosen, the index will decrease.

The action that the user selects and executes is preferably limited to three times or less. Therefore, if more than three times the "overrun" the phrase is displayed or it is desirable to do not add or subtract the index.

FIG. 7 illustrates a flow of results according to an action of a cyber life and execution of a user as an embodiment of the present invention.

Check if the system time and feeding time match. If the time matches, the message “It's time to feed.” Will appear, and when you feed Cyberlife, it will run an animation that Cyberlife will feed and increase the exponent. If you don't run the feeding cycle, CyberLife will run an animation that throws the bottle on the screen after five minutes. After another five minutes, Cyber-Life launches an animation that puts a face on the screen and sucks a finger. After another five minutes, Cyberlife gets sick, cries, and eventually feeds automatically.
