However, visitors who have the status of viewing and reporters can participate almost indefinitely.

In addition, the online World Cup server unit attempts to stabilize the connection by adopting P2P technology, and attempts to reconnect a predetermined number of attempts (N times) when a bad connection occurs. The player control is replaced by the AI player (S780 to S783). At this time, the artificial intelligence player replaced has the ability corresponding to the user data currently exhibited in the player competency DB.

As shown in FIG. 9, the game unit 500 for each continent may include the manager league data DB 521, the player league data DB 522, and the league match data in at least one game system 510 for each continent. It is responsible for managing the league DB 520 including the DB (523).

The game server 530 is linked to the above-described league DB 520, but the artificial intelligence (AI) engine 531, the multi-language support module 532 and the artificial intelligence module for engaging the aforementioned artificial intelligence player in the cyber world cup game It is preferable to have a 533, and the login server 540 which is also interworking with the league DB 520 preferably has a member DB 541 for each continent and a notification module 542 for each continent.

The AI module 533 includes a finite state machine (FSM), an implementation algorithm, a player state transition table, and a predetermined test program 610.

'FSM' is one of the most traditional methods that allows a computer to perform game character movements. It is based on a rule-based semiotic approach. In FSM, the behavior of the character is predictable, so it is easy to use for 'AI debugging', and it is preferable to be used in parallel with other approaches for learning functions and complex behavior.

For example, as another approach, the 'FSM' in the present invention deals with an ambiguous state of behavior, and can produce an output even if the input is not accurate, and represents a fuzzy state machine (FuSM) expressing an ambiguous value with a specific parameter value. Implements artificial intelligence such as'

In addition, pattern play in the cyber world cup game related to the present invention or 'FSM' of various hierarchies is used.

Pattern play refers to performing strategic AI by selecting a certain strategic pattern, and the user merely selects the most appropriate pattern according to the situation, and the movement of game characters moves as defined in the pattern.

In addition, the 'FSM' of the hierarchical structure is based on the approach of strategy, tactics, and individual players as shown in [Table 3].

In addition, the implementation of artificial intelligence is based on the principles of state transitions mentioned in Tables 4 and 5 below.

That is, in the present invention, states such as states S1: dribble, S2: pass, S3: individual device, S4: shot, and the like are defined in advance for AI play of the game character.

Here, the state of the game character may be transitioned from dribble to pass, transition from pass to individual, transition from dribble to personal, dribble or shot from individual.

For example, as shown in Table 5, a game character (hereinafter, referred to as an “artificial intelligence character”) controlled by the artificial intelligence module 533 may be transferred directly from a dribble to a shot.

The transition of the AI character is determined according to the situation of the player state transition table of the following [Table 6], wherein the mode may be divided into an attack and a defense.

Referring to FIG. 10, the cyber world cup game of the present invention was verified by a test program 610.

The test program 610 has a program scenario for determining formation for each team and performing simulation start and stop.

In particular, the test program 610 correctly performed the AI simulation by referring to the player state transition table in Table 6 according to the attack and defense situation for each team unit.

Referring to FIG. 11, in a program scenario, first, in performing an AI determination, predetermined data is loaded from a FSM table DB into a memory of a computer, and then data of the loaded FSM table DB is compared with a current character behavior state. Check and perform FSM table result determination (S790, S791).

At this time, if it is determined that the character's behavior state is an action in the player's state transition table, the AI character causes the action previously stored in the artificial intelligence table, otherwise, the behavior state value is set only for a predetermined time. To continue (S792, S793).

As shown in FIG. 12, the cyber world cup network unit 600 is realized by a network method that mixes client-server communication and client-to-client communication (P2P).

As described above, the web operation unit, the game result data storage unit, the online world cup server unit, and the game unit for each continent may also take a similar network scheme as the cyber world cup network unit 600.

Improves.

In addition, the user terminals 701 and 702 or the client groups 703 and 704 corresponding to the plurality of clients may be connected to the World Cup login server 710 or the plurality of online World Cup game servers 310 under a server-client relationship, respectively. In this case, each client communicates in a peer-to-peer manner when data on the game is transmitted to the network, irrespective of the game DB operated on the server side.

In addition, the World Cup login server 710, the game DB server 720, the online World Cup game server 310, the game backup storage 390, and the like, the high-speed switch hub 730 having a gigabyte capacity (Gbps) for fast server-to-server communication. Is connected to the online world cup system 100.

As shown in FIG. 13, an input / output method of data used in the present invention is an input / output completion port 601 (IOCP: Input Output) which is an asynchronous input / output operation method supported only in Windows NT and Windows 2000 series. Completion Port).

That is, the IOCP 601 executes and completes one input / output process step by step in response to an input / output request signal requested from a server or client of a window series during the main work process, and then completes the next input / output. The process will proceed sequentially.

In addition, the data management method used in the present invention uses 'OLE DB'.

Here, 'OLE DB' refers to a set of 'COM (Component Object Model)' interfaces that allow clients to use data.

This 'OLE DB' is designed to obtain data from various data sources in a vendor-neutral form, and is designed to manage and build data more stably than the usual 'ODBC'.

Since the hierarchical interaction between these 'OLE DB' components is shown in FIG. 14, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Hereinafter, the cyber world cup game to be used in the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings as screenshots in FIGS. 15 to 22.

For example, the body shape and height may be increased according to diet control, and the appearance and appearance may be customized according to the user's taste.

In addition, the cyber world cup game is similar to the operating method, but due to the application of various game modes, game scenarios, backgrounds, game rules, etc. can be transformed into a futsal game, beach soccer game, street soccer game, etc. , Various game types can be enjoyed.

 In addition, in the screenshots of the cyber world cup games, advertisement logos, images, glyphs, sentences, and copylight phrases can be inserted into important scenes or elements of screen elements, such as advertising trademarks (e.g. CocaCola, etc.). Various revenue generations are possible through the aforementioned sports marketing agency, including irregular league entry fees.

In other words, it will explain the specific revenue generation plan of the sports marketing agency.

Sports marketing methods implemented in the present invention can be used by applying a variety of methods and methods such as target marketing, sports consumer behavior, sports marketing research, sports marketing mix, public relations, PPL.

For example, PPL is a kind of marketing method to plant the product image in the unconsciousness of the audience by naturally appearing the company's product in movies, dramas, etc. as the size of the video industry is enlarged and the technique is more sophisticated. It is used.

Here, PPL is often referred to as 'indirect advertising', and the main target audience of sports games or sports game competitions is not only the target consumer of PPL products, but also synergistic effects through various activities such as events and promotions. It can be widely used as part of an IMC (Intergrated Marketing Communication) strategy.

That is, the PPL applied to the present invention naturally presents products of a predetermined company having a relationship such as sponsorship on the video media of the game while the gamers enjoy the game related to the present invention, including the period of the sports game competition. Beyond the technique of planting an image of a product in unconsciousness, in particular, when the product is purchased and used for a fee such as game money, the experience and ability of the game character (speed, accuracy, agility, stamina consumption, repulsion, stamina, Physical strength, level, etc., directly or indirectly, so that the effect of "direct advertising" that naturally introduces products to gamers without giving them a sense of advertising and the effect of "direct advertising" You will get all the effects.

As shown in FIG. 23, the operating method of the online world cup system of the present invention is characterized by exposing an image advertisement including an image and a video as part of a game component.

For example, according to the linkage between the CF advertisement update module of the sports marketing agency 800 mentioned above and the client advertisement module installed in the user's computer terminal, the CF advertisement is displayed during a predetermined game game such as half time.

To this end, the client advertisement module is installed on the hard disk of the terminal when the user sets up the cyber world cup game on his computer terminal.

The client advertisement module has a CF advertisement function that inserts a CF advertisement during a break such as half time during a cyber world cup game.

Here, the CF advertisement is set to a few seconds to tens of seconds (for example, 1 to 15 seconds) and shows an advertisement image or a video such as a simple flash type or a compressed video type. For example, when the CF advertisement is produced in a flash type, there is no restriction on the display size according to the characteristics of the vector type graphics.

In more detail, the CF advertisement insertion order is described. The CF advertisement update module of the sports marketing agency 800 delivers the corresponding CF advertisement data to the client advertisement module of the user's computer terminal in the same manner as the update tool described above. The client advertisement module thus received (updated) is recorded and managed in the CF advertisement storage area of the hard disk.

For example, the client advertisement module records and stores a plurality of CD advertisement data with a predetermined CF advertisement management code. The client advertisement module randomly exposes a plurality of advertisement data at half time, sequentially exposes a plurality of advertisement data based on a recording order, or a corresponding game match (preliminary round, finalist, promotional cup competition for promotion companies). Etc.) so that the corresponding advertisement data is exposed to each other by a normal database management technique.

The user runs a cyber world cup game using a computer terminal. In such a case, the loading screen is displayed on the user's display device, and after the entry for introducing the game character or the like is introduced, the first half of the game is started (S52 to S54).

Thereafter, the client advertisement module of the computer terminal processes the start signal of the half time corresponding to the break time between the first half and the second half of the game as the play operation signal of the CF advertisement data, and thus the CF advertisement is exposed to the display device of the user's computer. (S55, S56).

Here, CF advertisements are not only flash advertisements that can be shown as a whole plot of advertisements, but are also displayed around game characters based on various and interestingly moving screens such as the appearance of game characters gathered in a locker room or cooling off sweat. In order to be inserted and perceived involuntarily or consciously, game characters use drinks or other items to relax while they are relaxing (such as towels for sweating, massage tools for cold or hot air, air conditioners, fans, clothes, sporting goods, etc.), It may be a PPL advertisement format through various screen configurations such as a product, a background, a poster, and a sound (same or similar to an advertisement) that are placed nearby.

In this case, the user who enjoys the cyber world cup game has an effect of naturally recognizing the advertisement screen while having a break for the second half of the game.

Thereafter, at the end of the CF advertisement, the cyber world cup game starts the second half of the game, and when all the games are finished, the game can be restarted, and the screen returns to the initial loading screen state (S57-S59), or The waiting room screen is displayed (S62).

As shown in FIGS. 24A and 24B, the stadium board advertisement update module of the sports marketing agency is requested or provided from a corresponding company without a size limitation. The stadium board advertisement update module of the sports marketing agency adjusts the image scale to the following advertisement size and then records and stores the stadium board advertisement data item in the server-side advertisement DB.

The stadium board advertisement update module of the sports marketing agency delivers advertisement related data by regularly or irregularly delivering the stadium board advertisement data recorded on the server side to the client advertisement module of the user's computer terminal in the same manner as the update tool mentioned above. Can be updated.

The client advertisement module is updated so that the received stadium board advertisement data is recorded and managed in the stadium board advertisement storage area of the hard disk of the user computer terminal based on a predetermined identification code.

The stadium board advertisement function of the client advertisement module inserts an advertisement image desired by a sponsored company or an advertiser who requested an advertisement on a stadium advertisement board around a field during a cyber world cup game.

Here, the advertisement image may be a logo, an image, a trademark of a sponsorship, an advertiser, a company, etc. as well as a role of beautifying the game background as one of the background components of the game.

In the cyber world cup game, an image such as an advertisement is not fixed to the area of the stadium advertisement board in advance as a background screen, but is configured to exist as an advertisement region in which an image such as an advertisement can be inserted.

The advertisement area of the stadium advertisement board may be formed in an advertisement size such as a predetermined height (for example, 1.3m) and a predetermined width (for example, 3.5m) corresponding to the size ratio in the game.

As shown in FIG. 25, the online world cup system according to the present invention is held by a promotional advertiser for a promotion for a promotion company when requesting an advertisement, but after applying for participation in a website, groups according to the number of participants participating in the competition They organize leagues, conduct cup tournaments, hold third and fourth rounds according to the semi-final win or lose, and select the first, second, third and fourth teams to be the winners of the cup, respectively. In addition, the first and third teams will pay the corresponding products, and during this period, they will promote the products, the CF advertisement of the company, and the stadium board advertisement of the company (S63 ~ S69, S71, S72).
