Description

Method for servicing game which it turns over and it used an advertisement}

The present invention relates to a method of providing a flip game using an advertisement and a computer-readable recording medium recording a program for realizing the method. In particular, the present invention provides a flip game including an advertisement in a network environment such as a general computer environment or the Internet. And a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing the method.

Conventionally, with the development of the Internet, the World Wide Web (WWW) has emerged, and thus users can enjoy multimedia services in a network environment. Initially, the web started out by applying a Graphic User Interface (GUI) to the Internet environment, but gradually, this allows more multimedia services to be used in a network environment.

With the advent of the web, advertisements on the Internet have gradually developed. The initial revenue model generated on the web exposed banner advertisements to users who visited their web pages and received advertising costs from advertisers. At this time, the advertising cost was decided based on the number of readings of the web page, but it started from the common sense that many users would see many advertisements.

In addition, there are some that have been suggested since the beginning of web advertising as a criterion for determining the advertising cost together with the number of impressions, which is based on the number of clicks on the advertisement included in the web page. This is more practical. When a user sees a banner advertisement and moves to a web page presented by the advertisement, the user may be regarded as interested in the advertisement and thus may be set as a criterion of the advertisement cost.

However, as banner advertisements are gradually becoming more common and overflowing in web pages, simply presenting advertisements on web pages cannot attract user's interest, and the effect of advertisements is also inferior.

Specifically, firstly, even though the number of users of the webpages increases the exposure of the advertisements, the users often get only the information given by the webpages, resulting in a decrease in the effectiveness of the advertisement targeting the webpage users. Users who clicked on 's ad also moved to another page before the actual content appeared on the web page, and there was a problem in that the use of the click and the actual ad differed. The problem is that the users who want to obtain the information given by the web page turn their back on the use of the web page due to the visual effect or the speed of the page popping up. Disappointed users who navigate through websites with ads W has a problem that does not even notice the general advertising.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and can be read by a computer recording a method for providing an advertisement through an interesting flip game in a general computing environment or a network environment such as the Internet, and a program for realizing the method. The purpose is to provide a recording medium that can be used.

The present invention provides a flip game providing method using two examples, firstly, a user including an advertisement in a state in which a user is connected to the server 11 through a data communication network 12 using a client 13. In the case of using a flip game, the second server 11 transfers flip game information and advertisement information to the client 13 through the data communication network 12, and the flip game in which the user includes an advertisement mounted on the client 13. Is used regardless of network connection.

3A to 3C are diagrams illustrating an embodiment of a flip game providing method according to the present invention.

An embodiment of the flip game providing method using the advertisement according to the present invention is made as shown in Figure 3a to 3c. This is the progress of the flip game that is made according to the needs of the user.

First, the form of the game will be described as follows.

-Flip game is basically a game through advertising.

-Find the same ad by clicking the square plates that are all flipped over.

-If the same ad is clicked together, the score goes up.

-If a certain score is accumulated within a limited time, the score is multiplied by the specified multiple and the score is returned.

-The size of the plate will depend on the multiples specified and how many times the user bets on betting.

There are 2x 8 * 5, 3x 8 * 6, 4x 8 * 7, 5x 8 * 8 squares, and the scores for each game are different.

-A pair of advertisements score 2 points, 2 times 16 points, 3 times 24 points, 4 times 32 points, and 5 times 40 points to win the game.

-The time limit is 3 minutes regardless of the multiple.

-If the game is lost, the bet will automatically expire.

-The bet happens when you see the ad again. At this time, the same advertisement is excluded.

In this game environment, the progress of the game is shown through FIGS. 3A to 3C and the description thereof.

First, FIG. 3A shows a bet before the user starts the game. After the user sees the advertisement, the bet is determined to select a desired multiple. At this time, the bet amount is obtained by advertising.

As mentioned above, the size of the flip game and the score to be scored depend on the selected multiple.

In FIG. 3B, the advertisement of the entire image is displayed on the screen immediately before the flip game starts. When the user selects a multiple, the popup window automatically creates a cell for the multiple.

3C is a screen of a game in progress.

If you click on the same ad, your score will rise, and if you get a score that matches the multiple, you will win the game.

Depending on the game settings, you can initially show the entire screen. In this case, considering the interest of the game, it may be an appropriate time and may be 3 seconds.

Click on the same ad to get 2 points.

When the user completes the game, the wager is multiplied by a multiple and paid to the user.

The time limit is 3 minutes and the wager will be lost when you lose. The time limit can be adjusted according to the difficulty of the game.

When you click on the ad, you can click only one pair at a time, and if it is wrong, it will be flipped again.

A hint can also be given, which instantly shows the full screen when the user clicks on the hint and deducts half of the score earned, and the multiple chosen by the user is reduced from four to two times. This is optional and rules may vary depending on the use of the option.

4A and 4B are flowcharts of an embodiment of a method of providing a flip game using an advertisement according to the present invention.

The method of providing a flip game using an advertisement according to the present invention may be performed in a state of being connected to a server through a communication network, or may be made independently on a user's computer based on information received from the server.

4A and 4B, a flip game including an advertisement made in a state of being connected to a server through a communication network will be described.

First, the flip game providing server receives a flip game use request from a user connected through a data communication network (401).

The flip game providing server presents the user with advertisements to confirm for game betting (402). The flip game at this time is a method in which a user checks an advertisement and then bets in the game using the points generated accordingly, and gains or loses according to the game result. It can also deliver ads only through flip games as a way to deliver them well.

The flip game providing server provides the advertisement selected by the user (403). Advertisements provided to users before the game may be various, such as video ads, banner ads, and so on, advertisements provided before the game may be reappeared as advertisements presented at the initiation of the flip game again to enhance the advertising effect.

The flip game providing server introduces the rules according to the flip game to the user who confirms the advertisement and receives a bet from the user (404). In the case of introducing the betting concept as described above, the user basically selects betting or earning. This is because if the user has to bet unconditionally, it is meaningless, and even if the bet is won, it is possible to pass by a transient if it is impossible to earn. Of course, this can be modified depending on the configuration of the service provider.

Here, the determination of the bet means that the user receives the amount to bet or the point to bet.

The flip game providing server then asks the user how many times the amount they want to bet in accordance with the game completion and receives a selection from the user (405). This will be described with reference to FIG. 3A.

The flip game providing server generates a cell of a size corresponding to a multiple selected by the user for the flip game, and provides the entire image advertisement on the side displayed to the user in the generated cell (406). According to the multiples, the size of the cell will be 2x 8 * 5, 3x 8 * 6, 4x 8 * 7, 5x 8x8. Of course, this is just one example.

The flip game providing server receives the game start request from the user in the initial state of the flip game provided for the user so that the game can be played, and the user proceeds to play the game in a given time (407).

The flip game providing server periodically checks if the user has completed the game (408). Of course, this may be determined by the number of paired cells, or other check methods may be introduced.

As a result of checking whether the user has completed the game, it is determined whether the predetermined time allotted to the user's game time has elapsed if the user has not completed the game (409).

As a result of determining whether the predetermined game time has elapsed, if the predetermined game time has elapsed, the user is notified that the game is not completed, and the amount of money bet by the user is destroyed (410). If the user wants to play the game again, the user can request the flip game providing server and check the advertisement that has not been checked before to proceed with the game.

As a result of determining whether the predetermined game time has elapsed, if the predetermined game time has not elapsed, the process is repeated from the step 408 of checking whether the user has completed the game after a predetermined time elapses.

As a result of checking whether the user has completed the game, if the user has completed the game by inverting a predetermined number or more according to the flip game rule, the user is notified that the game has been completed, and the wager is multiplied by a multiple and paid to the user (411). . The amount or points paid in this way can be accumulated or used. In this case, when the user wants to play the flip game again, the user selects one of the advertisements that has not been confirmed and proceeds with the game.

5A to 5C are flowcharts of another embodiment of a method of providing a flip game using an advertisement according to the present invention.

The flip game described with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5C is a description of a method that can be used regardless of a network connection in a user's computer.

In this flip game, you can enjoy the same game without having to be connected to the server with advertisement data, game data and so on. This can be done at intervals or depending on your network connection settings.

First, the user's computer receives a flip game data including advertisements from a server via a network (501). Here, the user's computer is not limited to a personal computer (PC) that we generally think of. It also includes other devices that can play games in this network environment. That is, a mobile phone, an Internet TV, a PDA, etc. Of course, all of these equipments are equipped with a processor and are therefore a broad computer. The computer in the description of the present invention may be viewed as such a broad concept.

A computer with a flip game containing an advertisement receives a request to use the flip game from the user (502). The user's computer checks if the update period of the flip game material has elapsed (503). This is the case when updating the flip game data at regular intervals. Of course, even in this case, the user's judgment may be added. That is, after confirming that the user's computer has been cycled, the user is presented with this to be judged.

If the user's computer checks whether the update period of the flip game data has elapsed, and the update period has elapsed and the user needs to connect to the server and receive the updated data, the user accesses the server through the network and transmits the user's flip game usage information. Receiving the flip game-related data and performs a flip game update on the user computer (504). In operation 505, the advertisements to be checked for game betting are presented to the user.

As a result of the user's computer checking whether the update period of the flip game material has elapsed, if the update period has not elapsed, the user is presented with advertisements to check for game betting and is selected by the user (505).

The user's computer presents the advertisement selected by the user (506), introduces the rules according to the flip game to the user who confirmed the advertisement and receives a bet from the user (507). In operation 508, the user selects a multiple to be obtained according to the completion of the game.

The user's computer creates a square of a size corresponding to the multiple selected by the user and provides a full image advertisement through it (509).

The user's computer receives a game start request from the user and provides the game to proceed, and the user proceeds to play the game (510).

According to a certain condition, the user's computer checks whether the user has completed the game (511). Here, the constant condition refers to a constant time interval, a check according to the flip count, and other discrimination conditions as described with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B.

As a result of checking whether the user has completed the game, if the user has not completed the game, it is determined whether a predetermined time allocated for the flip game has elapsed (512).

As a result of determining whether the predetermined game time has elapsed, if the predetermined time has elapsed, the user is notified that the game is not completed, and the amount of money bet by the user is destroyed (513).

As a result of determining whether the predetermined game time has elapsed, if the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process is repeatedly performed from step 511 of checking whether the user has completed the game after a predetermined time elapses.

As a result of checking whether the user has completed the game, if the user has completed the game, the user is notified that the game has been completed, and the wager is multiplied by a multiple and paid to the user (514).

What is shown in the above embodiment is one example. The essence of the present invention is that the user can be in contact with the advertisement through the flip game including the advertisement, and specific embodiments thereof can be variously modified as described below.
