There are models that raise the character of.

However, in the above case, the process of growing a virtual character has been simplified, so there is a lack of interest, and users have to grow boredom in a limited pattern of repetition. Besides the sale of items, there was a difficulty in service operation due to the lack of a stable profit model.

In addition, the character nurturing games provided through mobile not only lack a variety of characters or artificial intelligence, but also have a low level of interest in the game process or logic. Moreover, since there is no profit factor except for download cost, it is not a stable profit model.

In addition, in the case of a technology that transmits message data (web / application-based chat messenger, etc.) and gives a user feedback such as charging a character or cyber money, the word constituting the transmitted message itself is stored in the word dictionary database of the service provider. It consists of a system and technology for searching and giving feedback based on this predetermined rule. To do this, each service provider has to build a huge database of word dictionaries, and it is necessary to continuously update the pattern of language that changes with the passage of time, and the separation of word units for messages that do not use spacing. There is a problem such as not easy.

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

1 shows an example of an overall system according to the invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the system includes a subscriber terminal such as a wired terminal device 100, ..., 109, such as a PC, or a mobile terminal device 110, ..., 119, such as a mobile phone. The network 200, the game service server 300, the character information database 400, the character image database 500, and the communication server 600 supporting the SMS service are provided.

When the sender transmits a text message to a desired receiver using the wired terminal device 100 or the mobile terminal device 110 subscribed to the cyber character rearing game service, the wired / wireless Internet network 200 to the game service server 300. The packet including the text data is transmitted, and the game service server 300 transmits the text message to the receiving terminals 109 and 119. In general, the PC terminal is connected to the game service server 300 through a web server, and the mobile terminal is connected to the game service server 300 through the communication server 600, but the communication server 600 is serviced. It may also be configured to serve as a function of the server 300.

The game service server 300 analyzes the received text message and grows the character owned by the subscriber according to the growth rule, and updates the result in the character information database 400. After receiving the character from the character image database 500, the growth result and the character image is transmitted to the transmitting mobile terminal 100 or the wired terminal 110.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a service according to the present invention.

The text message is transmitted from the transmitting terminal device 100 or 110 to the game service server 300. The transmitting terminal apparatus stores a program necessary for driving a game and a subscriber's unique number. The game service server 300 transmits the text message received along with the sender's unique number to the communication server 600 to transmit the message to the receiving mobile device 119 or to the wired terminal device 109 through the Internet. Thereafter, the game service server 300 analyzes the text message, applies the character analysis result to the character capability growth rule, grows the character capability value, and updates the growth result in the sender character information of the character information database 400.

At this time, if the character's abilities match the predetermined evolution rule, the character's image data is extracted from the character image database 500, and the character's ability growth results and the evolved character image are transmitted to the transmitting terminal device (100, 110). Done.

3 is a detailed configuration diagram of the service server 300.

As shown in FIG. 3, the service server includes a text data reception module 310, a phonological analysis module 320, a character pattern growth module 330, a text data transmission module 340, and a character growth result transmission module 350. ). Here, the packet including the text message sent by the user extracts only the text message through the text message receiving module 310, and the text message analysis operation is performed by the phonological analysis module using the text message as input data.

Thereafter, the character growth pattern application module 330 applies the analysis result of the text message to the growth rule to update the character information database 400 and, when the character evolves according to the evolution rule, character image of the evolved character. Extract from database 500. The text data transmission module 340 transmits the text data to the receiving terminal device 109 or 119 via a communication server or through the Internet, and the character growth result transmission module 350 transmits the character growth result and the evolved character image. Composed of a packet and sent to the sender's wired and wireless terminal devices (100, 110) through the wired and wireless Internet network 200 to show the growth and evolution results.

4 is a detailed configuration diagram of the phonological analysis module 320 in the case of Korean.

As shown in FIG. 4, the phonological analysis module 320 includes a phonological parsing module 321, a multi-phonic parsing module 322, and a phonological count module 323. Here, the phonemes are parsed through the phoneme parsing module 321. For example, the message "Replace" is broken down into ㅂ, ㅏ, ㄲ, ㅝ, ㅈ, ㅝ. Thereafter, the multiphony parsing module 322 converts the double consonants and the double vowels into terminal sounds and short vowels once more. For example, the message 'Replace' is reassembled into ㅂ, ㅏ, ㄱ, ㄱ, ㅓ, ㅓ, ㅈ, ㅜ, ㅓ. Thereafter, the phoneme count module 323 counts the number of each phoneme. For example, the message 'Replace' is counted as 'A', '1', '1', '1', '2' and 't'.

5 is a flowchart showing a procedure applied to a phonological analysis module for analyzing a text message.

The text message received from the transmitting terminal (100, 110) is first cut out by phonology. After that, the polyphony is cut once more. (ㄲ => ㄱ, ㄱ, ㅝ => ㅜ, ㅓ) Next, the number of each phoneme cut is counted, the number of children / parents is counted, the number of seconds / middle / jongs is counted, and the counting result is determined. Used as input data for rule application.

The growth rule used in the character growth pattern application module is determined so that the character's ability increases or decreases according to the number or percentage of each phoneme. For example, if a rule determines that the power of a character increases according to the number of phonons, the character's power stat increases by the number of phonologies, and other abilities such as agility, intelligence, and stamina The growth rule may be determined by increasing or decreasing the number of different phonemes or the ratio of rulers / vowels. The evolution rule may be set in such a manner that the prescribed evolution level is reached when each capability value exceeds each predetermined value.

Alternatively, instead of phonological analysis, a method of retrieving the number of hits of a specific word in a text message and applying a growth rule or an evolution rule to the aggregate result may be adopted.

On the other hand, since the phonological analysis module is based on Unicode, not only Korean but also all languages listed as Unicode such as English, Japanese, Chinese, etc. The multi-phony parsing module 322 may be redefined according to the characteristics of each language such as.

For example, in the case of the English language, the phonological analysis module 320 may be configured as a phonological parsing module 321, a consonant parsing module 322 for each letter case, phonological count module 323. Here, the phoneme parsing module 321 cuts the phoneme of the text message. For example, the message 'I am a Boy' is broken down into I, a, m, a, B, o, y. Subsequently, the alphabetic case consonant parsing module 322 may further classify consonants and vowels by case. For example, the message 'I am a Boy' is reclassified as I in upper case consonants, B in upper case consonants, m, y in lower case consonants, and a, a, o in lower case consonants. Thereafter, the phoneme count module 323 counts the number of each phoneme. For example, the message 'I am a Boy' is counted as 1 I, 1 B, 1 m, 1 y, 2 a, 1 o, 2 uppercase letters, and a lowercase letter. Is counted as five.

6 is a view showing an overall flowchart of an operation procedure by phonological analysis of the present invention.

In the above embodiment, a text message is once transmitted from the sender terminal device to the game service server, and after the game service server receives the text data, the text message is transmitted to the communication server and then transmitted to the receiving terminal through the communication server. However, a method of transmitting text data from the transmitting terminal to the game service server and the receiving terminal may be adopted. In this case, the text data transmission module 340 of the game service server 300 becomes unnecessary, and the communication from the sender to the receiver is transmitted through the same route as the normal communication. Therefore, this method reduces the traffic imposed on the game service server, does not affect the communication speed between the sender and receiver, and even if there is a failure in the game service server, the cyber character game may be disturbed. No influence

According to the present invention, when a user of a wired / wireless terminal device subscribed to a parenting simulation game service on the Internet or a wireless telephone network wants to transmit text data, there is no need to construct a large amount of word dictionary database, and phonological or specific words are calculated when calculating a growth pattern. As the input data is used, the processing speed is fast and the growth pattern can be calculated even if the user transmits character data that is not spelled correctly.

In addition, by evolving and evolving a variety of cyber characters in the process of sending text messages in real life, users can evolve not only the entertainment, interest, and educational effects of parenting simulation games, but also various evolving characters. It has the advantage of inducing attachment and a desire to collect.

In addition, since the text message is mediated, a stable revenue source can be provided by overcoming the limitations of the revenue model of the conventional character rearing games based on the transmission revenue of the text message.

From the above description, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention should not be limited to the contents described in the embodiments, but should be defined by the scope of the claims.
