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

1 is a view showing a network configuration according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of the present invention. Referring to the illustrated drawings, the Internet 101, a plurality of game servers 103 for an online game, a plurality of user terminals 111 connected to the game server 103, a plurality of messengers to perform messenger functions between users The messenger server 105, a plurality of messenger accessors 113 connected to the messenger server 105, a database 107 for storing member information of the game server 103 and the messenger server 105, and the data; It consists of a web server 109 for mounting the information of the base 107 on the Internet 101. The game server 103 and the messenger server 105 are interconnected to the Internet network and interwork with the database 107.

The game user 111 inputs his or her ID and personal information to access the game server 103, and is connected with the approval of the game server 111 (S301). The game user 111 selects a game level, which is a cyber space in which to play a game, and a game level, in order to play a game provided by the game server 103. At this time, the game server 103 stores the game information of the visitor, that is, whether the visitor is connected to the game, the name of the visitor, the ID, the game name, the game level, and the game room information in the database 107 (S303).

Similarly, the personal information of the messenger accessor 113 connected to the messenger server 105 and computer connection information on whether a program currently being used, such as a messenger program or another game, are used. Store in Therefore, the game user 111 and the messenger accessor 113 are stored in the database 107 according to the current program status. If more than one program is in use, the information is stored according to the current program status on the monitor.

The game user 111 may play a game provided by the game server 103 (S305), and may perform a chat to a counterpart who enjoys the current game as well as performing the game. On the other hand, during the chat can send a message to the other opponent who is not connected to the current game to request the game access, which is the game user 103 is invited to the game to enjoy the game with the messenger accessor 105 (S307).

The game user 111 receives the program status information of the messenger accessor 105 to invite through the member information registered in the database 107 through the web server 109. The game user 111 invites a specific person of the messenger accessor 105 based on the registered member information.

For example, when the game user 103 has an ID of "SOFT" and is playing a "Linux" game, and the messenger accessor 105 has an ID of "SOFTNYX", the "/ SEND SOFTNYX" dialog is displayed through the current game (Linux) dialog. Should we play a game? " Here, a request is made to connect to the messenger server 105, SOFTNYX is a counterpart ID, and then a message is input.

2 is a message window showing an example of a message received from the messenger accessor 113 according to the present invention, the message window 200 is the ID information of the messenger accessor 113 is displayed at the upper end, the caller ID, That is, the ID information 205 of the game user 111 and the game name information 207 to which the current game user 111 is connected, the game room information 209 that is playing the game, and the game user 111 The transmitted message information 211 is displayed. And the connection button 213 is provided in one side part.

The game server 103 stores server and user ID information to be accessed (S309), and accesses the messenger server 105 using the network of the game server 103 (S311). After the connection is completed, the game server 103 provides the messenger server 105 with the opponent ID information and the message information input by the game user 111 through the chat window. The messenger server 105 detects a list of messenger accessors 113 currently connected based on the counterpart ID information.

The messenger server 105 compares the list of messenger accessors 113 currently connected with the counterpart ID information, searches for the messenger accessor 113 corresponding to the counterpart ID information, and provides the message information. If the messenger visitor 105 having the opponent's ID information is not in the connected state, the message message notifying the non-connected state is transmitted to the game server 103 to warn the game user 111 (S321).

On the other hand, when the messenger accessor 113 wants to access the game according to the message through the message transmitted by the game user 111, the access button 213 is clicked (S317). At this time, the messenger server 105 according to the click provides the corresponding information to the game server 103, and the game server 103 transmits path information of the pre-stored game user 111 to the messenger server 105. (S317).

The messenger server 105 connects to an online game (eg, lineage and fortress) accessed by the game user 111 according to the path information, and the member entered when the messenger accessor 113 accesses the messenger server 105. Subscribe to the online game provided to the game server 103 based on the information. The subscription of the online game includes a process from joining a member to entering the game room, and the game server 103 provides the messenger server 105 with necessary procedure information until entering the game room, and the messenger server 105. Is to provide information accordingly (S319).

In this case, when the plurality of messenger server 105 and the plurality of game servers 103 are operated as one system, since the member information necessary for accessing each server is made the same, the game server 103 is used in the messenger server 105. When accessing the game server 103 can be accessed without inputting an ID and PW for connecting. When the plurality of messenger servers 105 and the plurality of game servers 103 are operated as individual systems, the messenger server When connecting to the game server 103 at 105, the ID and PW for game use of the game server 103 will have to be input separately. In this case, even if the message window 200 is provided with an ID for connecting to the game server 103 and a PW input window, the gist of the present invention will not be exceeded.

As a result, the messenger accessor 113 is connected to the specific game invited by the game user 111 by clicking the access button 213.

As described above, the Internet game access device and method according to the present invention provides a message for requesting the game access to a messenger accessor who is not connected to the game while the game user is playing the connected game. As the game connection is made through the one-click of the messenger accessor, it is possible to obtain an effect that the game access is made easier, and thereby an effect that can contribute to the activation of the community.

What has been described above is only one embodiment for implementing the Internet game access device and method according to the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, as claimed in the following claims Without departing from the gist of the present invention, those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains to the technical spirit of the present invention to the extent that various modifications can be made.
