How to Induce Customer Loyalty Using Experienced Network Game {omitted}

The present invention relates to a method of inducing customer loyalty using an experiential network game. Computer games are exploding due to multimedia technology and wired or wireless network technology, and experiential games are being developed into various arcade games combined with computer technology. These virtual reality games are recognized as an economical way of use, regardless of the space and time involved, but there is a limit to satisfy the desire of gamers who want a more exciting experience. Unique experience-type games such as survival games can be exhilarating to experience realistic situations in a wide space, but it is less popular due to the need for an isolated game room and special clothing for shooting. Although it is not grafted, it is superior in terms of realistic experience, but the game contents are simple and game scores are not continuously managed, so the loyalty for repetitive participation is low, which is maintained by game equipment collectors rather than the business operation of the game itself. .

In order to increase the loyalty of experienced game participants, such as survival games, cumulative management of scores and intelligence of games are required.

First, in the case of shooting games, one of the experiential games, spatial constraints could not be avoided because people who did not participate in the game could not completely eliminate the risk of exposure to grenade.

Second, since the attack results were forced to be judged by humans, the computerized input process was difficult to automate, and commercialization of complex games involving many people was not economical.

Third, wireless data communication is essential for the cumulative management of scores, but expensive communication devices have to be used to transmit multimedia data at high speed.

Fourth, in order to make the game more intelligent, it is necessary to analyze the progress rather than the result of chance and to make predictive actions.

Fifth, in the case of games with a large number of participants, additional facilities such as shops should be fully supported, but there was a lack of a way to raise the consumption of game participants to the level for maintaining the facilities.

The present invention has been devised for the purpose of solving the conventional problems as described above, using the camera instead of a shooting weapon to achieve the object of the target aiming and shooting to replace the subject capture and shooting, shooting to automate shooting result determination The computer analyzes the image of the specific part of the target subject and recognizes that only the part promised is accurately captured, and the game participants and the game control center wirelessly transmit the image of the subject and the game related information. It enables data communication using high-speed wireless LAN, and measures the location of game participants using GPS so that it can be transmitted not only to the game participants themselves but also to other game participants through the game control center, and to other images identified by video recognition or GPS. Different abilities of the game participants This was so predictable game, so participants can see. At the nearby energy store where the experience game is played, a card searcher is provided to enter the bonus score according to the commerce, and it is connected to the score management server of the game control center through the premises computer network. It was recorded as the required energy.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a process of connecting a game participant, a score member, a game support booth, and a home PC to a game control center through a wireless network.

The system of the present invention consists of a computer (server) of a game control center connected on a wireless LAN, a plurality of experience-type game participant computers, and an card shop of an energy store. These game participant computers are very small portable computers and are equipped with a wireless LAN card, a digital camera, and a GPS that can be connected to the premises computer network by a display device and wireless, and the display device displays digital information transmitted to the game participant computer through the wireless LAN. can do.

The computer network consists of access points and hubs for exchanging information with wireless LAN cards and is connected to the Internet through firewalls and routers.

The server, which is the computer of the game control center, recognizes the program and image information that can be transferred from the computer of the game participants to other game participants' computers, and then scores the game and stores it as the information of each game player. It is equipped with a program that can be processed and sent back to the game participant's computer, and a program that accumulates and manages scores according to various game operations and transfers the game participant's computer. In the energy store, a card inquiry terminal connected to the premises computer network is installed, and when a game participant makes a purchase with his or her game membership card, the bonus score corresponding to the transaction amount is transmitted to the game score management server of the game control center.

First, when the game participant's computer is connected to the computer of the game control center through the wireless LAN, the authentication process is performed on the current game participant's ID and password. The computer of the authorized game player measures the position using GPS and transmits it to the game control center.

In the Game Control Center, the game level, energy, attack score, and other game participants' current game status, including the current game level of the game participants and the game mission corresponding to the current level, including the accumulated energy and attack score, Send the location to the game player's computer. The game participant computer can choose to display the location of the game participant and other game participants continuously on the digital map and display the game status. In the game situation, the attack targets are presented, the targets that succeed in the attack are displayed, and the game score is displayed. Selecting an attack target or other game player on the digital map displays scores that can be added or subtracted if the attack succeeds or fails. To attack means to shoot a specific part of the attack target with a digital camera within the range of the attacker's ability. If you shoot an attack target that exceeds your energy, you will die and exit the game. If you fail to shoot, your energy and attack score will be deducted. If the shooting is successful, the attack score goes up, but the energy decreases. There are two ways to recharge the energy. One method is to select the rest menu on the computer of the game participant and be notified to the game score management server of the game control center and the game cannot be played for a certain time until the rest menu is selected. After this, the committed energy is charged. Another way to recharge the energy is to present the game membership card at the nearby energy merchants, and when the commerce is carried out, the bonus score corresponding to the purchase amount is input through the card inquiry terminal, and the game score management of the game control center is performed through the premises computer network. It is sent to the server and stored as energy. The recorded video is transmitted to the game participant's computer, reduced to a certain size, compressed to a file size suitable for wireless communication, and transmitted to the game control center via wireless LAN.

The game control center compares the received image with the degree of support of the predetermined part of the attack target, and if it is correct, adds the attack score of the corresponding game participant. The game participants computer receives the shooting result from the game control center immediately and displays the current game progress. If you successfully shoot all the attack targets, the level goes up, and the server of the game control center sends a new game mission to the game participants computer for the next level of game. Game participants can access the game control center's server through the internet with the same ID and password to play the game using the scores accumulated in the experience game on the graphic game on the Internet instead of the experience game, and accumulate the game score again. Can be. In graphic games on the Internet, attacks can be replaced by cyber weapons rather than shooting.

The present invention can contribute to the activation of the local economy by utilizing the bonus score obtained from commerce as the game score.

The present invention can be extended to the base of game participants beyond construction by using each score obtained in the process of the experience-type network game using image recognition as a score for the online game on the Internet.
