Description

Online game and lottery ticket sale gearing system}

The present invention is a process of building a more efficient sales and billing system through the online lottery and online game content linking can be purchased and confirmed online to transfer the effects of the general lottery purchase to the game to enjoy the game It is constructed.

Although the lottery purchase site itself is active online, there are no examples of lottery tickets used for additional purposes in conjunction with other contents. The chances of getting lottery items are created, and they are returned to the real lottery at the lottery sales site where the items themselves are linked together. You can do it.

In general, the lottery purchase site itself has a high initial response, but it is difficult to attract long-term users due to the absence of additional contents. In this regard, it can be said to be an invention that can be established as a profitable content model that can activate indirect lottery purchases in addition to games for users who want other contents besides general lottery buyers.

First of all, the technical skills that must be equipped in order to realize the above contents should be equipped with the perfect online game production technology and web content production technology that can be implemented online, and other unique technologies for the system include the web and game. There is a need to establish a real-time database interworking technology and a system for authenticating lottery purchases, a web billing system that can be purchased in real time, and an internal game information. The technology for the game part requires the construction of a 3D graphics engine and a network game engine of the Client & Server method.

Figure 1 shows a process for users to access the web on the Internet to check the items obtained in the game or to purchase a lottery ticket and check the winning content.

2 illustrates how a game, a web site, and a client, a client, are sharing a database on a network.

3 is a structural design diagram of a network engine required for game production.

4 is a class structure design diagram of a client main engine required for game production.

5 is an explanatory diagram of a structure and method for obtaining a lottery ticket while users play a game in a game.

In order to complete the above structure, the construction of the site where the security module operates through membership authentication must be first performed on the Internet website, and all the databases used in the site are linked with the game, and with each client. Should also be possible. The deposit must be made through the billing system on the web, and the game itself is operated through a flat fee. In this part, the two contents may feel like completely different parts, but there are lottery items that can be exchanged for real lottery items among items generated by solving monsters or solving events among the events occurring inside the game serviced through a flat fee. Users who have enjoyed have a structure that can check their lottery tickets on the actual website.

In order to complete the above structure, we have developed a network engine for game development, and the production of game main 3D graphics engine is also required. In this system, the game is adopted as a way to revitalize the business of the website, and the simple lottery business can be combined with the game's contents to induce the user's interest, promote the sale of the lottery, and provide additional models for the game users. It can be a system.

The invention can be broadly classified into a web system, a game system, and an integrated database. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a web system. The initial user can access the homepage, which is an online lottery selling system, on the Internet through the process (100). Like the generalized lottery sales site or paid site, through the process of (100) ~ (105), once the security verification is completed for the user, the user searches for the data of the current deposit status, the purchase and the winning of the lottery. (106) It becomes possible. At this time, the database 107 to be used is a database 107 to be synchronized with the game. Thereafter, if the user does not have a purchase history for the deposit or lottery ticket, the user can purchase the deposit or purchase the lottery ticket through the purchase process (109). The billing system (112) used at this time is to be used by applying the product of the company currently doing a general service. The continuous iteration of the system above allows the user to enjoy the lottery at any time. The game additionally attached thereto assumes its own service as the game itself. It is possible to enjoy the game by charging a certain amount of semen per month, and the lottery has the character of the item 406 that occurs during the game. In order to implement the above system, database sharing of FIG. 2 is required. The user's client 200, the web server 204, and the game server 203 always operate by sharing the same database 201. At this point, the client downloads to the user's PC on the Web. As a game client, it adopts the general MMORPG method, and the user enjoys the adventure to find the treasure in the game and acquires the treasure. It is produced by using API of DirectX series, and is basically composed of 3D graphics engine. By applying the technology of Direct Input, Direct Sound, and Direct Media, it pursues the unity of extensibility and update later, and improves the convenience of operation. DirectX series is highly compatible with Window because it is API of Microsoft company. It also improves engine stability by using the latest version of 8.1 or later. It is possible to know the status of their lottery collection directly in the client (200), a shortcut to the web, the real exchange of the lottery is also implemented. One membership through the client 200 is directly delivered to the web server 204 has the advantage of not having to register in double. All data is exchanged in real time through sharing with the web server 204, so that the information about the lottery item acquisition is immediately notified to the web server.

Next, the web server 204 will be described. Since the web server 204 has a higher traffic and a heavy load than a general game server 203, a place that is large in size and has the same information or data is often referred to as a 'server system'. . Therefore, this server system and method mainly serves to transmit data and information. In other words, it is a server that provides data when a certain computer and other information is requested. The web server 204 receives a connection request from the client 200 to allow a connection, and provides a game and information provided from the web server 204 to the client. The client 100 enjoys the game through the game provided from the web server 204, and can use the lottery item obtained thereon directly on the website. And the information about the game and the information on the lottery purchase and deposit situation can be provided to the client (200). Next, as a description of the database, the first request is made from the client 200 or the web server 204 to request membership. The membership form is transmitted through the web server 204 and the client 200, and the personal information input is first stored after obtaining the consent form. In general, member ID, password, name, address, phone number, etc. are inputted, and the contents of user protection are additionally stored. After that, when the user requests lottery purchase or winning confirmation, information about the lottery ticket is transmitted to the web server 204, and the gamers store various data values that may occur in the game. The user's level or item status lottery items are stored and provided when requested by the web server 204 or the client 200.

The following is a description of the game server 203, the game server serves to maintain the client 200 can access the game in the online state to play the game. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a network engine structure. The client 301 is downloaded and executed to the user's PC through the web server, at which time an initial connection is requested. The role that plays the response is the role that the update server 303 is responsible for checking the version on the client on the user's PC to run the update 302 to the latest version if not the latest version. When the process is completed, the role is transferred to the login server 309. If the user is already registered, the user is prompted to access the game server after checking the ID and password, and if the user is not registered After entering the member's information through the information input window, the user joins the member. After that, the client server 308 receives the member's information and operates the data necessary for processing in the game and the progress of monsters and quests appearing in the game. Through this process 307, the user client can enjoy the game and process all the data related to the lottery. The database 305 used here is the database 201 used by the above web server and the client. It means the same database.

Through the above description, after completing the role of each server and database, the client engine structure required for game production will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in Figure 4, the game is a process that is produced using the C ++ language based on the Windows API. The basic API is DirectX 8.1 or later. DirectX doesn't matter if you use the previous version as a component. Basically, graphic engine is produced using Direct3D (402). Direct3D has a structure that can control 3D graphic parts using a single DirectDraw object, and each pipeline is required to complete the above engine, which is a pipeline for texture mapping (405) and a graphic buffer (406). Rendering pipeline 407. The above structures are necessary elements for game production, and they are produced by making use of characteristics for each game. A pipeline is a processor that handles certain operations. You need to build your own pipeline that is optimized for each part. In addition, the Direct Sound Class, which manages the sound part, and the Direct Input Class, which manages the interface part, are also developed in their own models. The game client engine development is completed with the above structure.

In addition, finally, through the Figure 5 will be described for obtaining the lottery items in the game. As shown in Fig. 5, the game is composed of one large World 501, and the user participates in various events and quests that take place in order to obtain items and proceed with the game. In general, the map is divided into a plurality of zones (502) to (504), where each monster has its own level. In addition to simple monster hunting (505), the item can be obtained through a given quest (commission) 506. In this way, the user can enjoy the game on a high-level map where more lottery items can be released while increasing his level.

It is possible to secure a new sales channel through the lottery acquisition system generated inside the game by breaking away from the existing lottery selling system of the lottery site, and use the items acquired in the game itself as the lottery. Content activation can be secured at the same time.
