The frame database 41 stores frame data for a plurality of horizontal frames and vertical frames. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the horizontal frame and the vertical frame may be formed of a plurality of cells, and then may be crossed in a form forming a predetermined angle (for example, 90 °) with each other. In the embodiment of the present invention, frame data is stored in the frame database 41 for each game board having a plurality of shapes. That is, the shape of the game board having a plurality of horizontal frames and vertical frames intersecting with each other to form a shape as illustrated in FIG. 1 is determined in advance, and the data for the horizontal and vertical frames used according to the shape determined for each game board is Stored. For example, a plurality of pieces of information about a first frame including a predetermined number of cells, a second frame intersecting the first frame, a third frame intersecting the second frame, and the like may be stored for one game board. For each frame that intersects, cross information indicating how many cells of one frame and cells of another frame are formed to intersect may be stored. Then, based on the intersection information, you can select the next word based on the few syllables of the previous word.

The problem database 42 stores a large number of problem data, including hints and words according to correct answers, and optionally including hints. These problem data may be classified and stored by category or may be stored and classified by difficulty.

The game database 43 stores at least one game data in which frame data and problem data are combined to form one game board. For example, game data may be classified and stored according to a category of a problem.

The game data is generated by the puzzle combination server 50 described later, and includes frame data for horizontal and vertical frames used for one game board and problem data used for each frame. The horizontal frame and the vertical frame constituting the game board may be configured to cross each other at a predetermined angle according to the puzzle combination.

The result database 44 stores information about game progress and game results for each game room. The game progress includes the most recently solved problems, the corrected problems, the time the problem was focused (e.g., the time when the cursor is displayed in the frame of the problem on the game board), and the focused problem. The time taken to solve the problem and the number of remaining questions are included. In addition, when a large number of users participate in the game, the score for each user is included. The result of the game includes the category of the problem used in the game, the percentage of correct answers for each user, the number of questions solved by the user, the correct answer for each problem, the game participation time, and the like. In addition, ranking information by user when a plurality of users participated in the game at the same time May be further included.

Meanwhile, the puzzle combination server 50 combines the frame data and the problem data to generate game data for the game board. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the puzzle combining server 50 combines the frame data with the problem data to generate game data, and the game data generated by the combination unit 51. An evaluation unit 52 for performing the evaluation, a control unit 53 for controlling the data combining operation of the combining unit 51 according to the evaluation result, and a combination database storing game data for the game board combined by the combining unit ( 54) an evaluation database 55 in which evaluation results of the evaluation unit 52 based on the combined game data are stored.

The combination unit 51 combines the horizontal or vertical frames stored in the frame database 41 and the predetermined problems stored in the problem database 42 and stores the game data in the combination database 54. Specifically, based on the frame data corresponding to the game board having a predetermined shape, a predetermined word to be entered in each frame constituting the game board is selected from the problem database 42.

The evaluation unit 52 evaluates how many overlapping problems (or words) may be included based on the game data formed by the combination unit 51 and selects the optimal game data according to the evaluation result. To this end, the evaluation unit 52 is a first probability measurement module 521 for measuring the ratio (appearance probability) of the frequency (maximum number of repetitions) that problems are duplicated and used with respect to the number of games used in the data combination, the measurement A frequency determining module 522 that determines an optimal maximum number of repetitions that problems may be used based on the determined occurrence probability, and a second probability measuring module that calculates a haptic probability for the combined game data based on the determined maximum number of repetitions 523, a combination determination module 524 that determines the optimal game data according to the haptic probability. Here, the haptic probability indicates the probability that the user can feel the degree of repeated use of the word in the game.

The combining unit 51 controls to combine the frame data and the problem data, and then. The optimal game data determined by the combination determination module 524 is stored in the game database 43 so that the game data is used in the actual game.

Meanwhile, the game server 30 provides a game service to a user connected through the interface server 10 and the channel server 20. That is, the game server 30 proceeds with the game according to a predetermined game rule. For example, when the user enters a specific channel through the channel server 20, the game display, game progress, Settle the game results.

To this end, as shown in FIG. 6, the game server 30 may include a game progress unit 31 for running a puzzle game in each aspect of a puzzle game and a total management unit for managing game progress and result information. 32).

To this end, it may include a database storing personal information such as ID, password, name, social security number, gender, age, and contact information of a user registered as a member, and user information including a field and a hobby of which the user is interested. Can be.

In the game system according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the servers 10 to 60 are classified in terms of their functions, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, a channel server or a combination server is implemented in a form including a database 24, 54, 55, but the database 24, 54, 55 may be implemented separately from the server, and also, all of the system Databases may be implemented in a form that is included in one database server.

In addition, components of each server may be selectively included as needed, and each component may also be implemented as an independent server to process a corresponding function. In addition, databases are not limited to being classified as described above.

Next, a puzzle combining method for a horizontal and vertical puzzle game according to an embodiment of the present invention and an operation of the game system will be described.                     

Hereinafter, since the correct answer, that is, the word inputted to the frame according to the problem, a combination method will be described based on the word.

In general, since words are limited and words having a predetermined number of syllables are also limited, a predetermined word may be repeatedly used when a large number of game boards are provided in a horizontal and vertical puzzle game, and the more repeated words, the more the user of the game May decrease interest.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, when a plurality of game boards (which may be different shapes or the same shape) are first provided, an optimal maximum number of repetitions is set so that the words used may be repeated at a minimum.

7 illustrates a process of determining the maximum number of repetitions of a word in a puzzle combining method for a horizontal and vertical puzzle game according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

First, the control unit 53 of the puzzle combination server 50 arbitrarily sets the maximum number of iterations to a predetermined value (S100).

In addition, the controller 53 drives the combination unit 51 of the puzzle combination server 50 to form a plurality of shapes stored in the problem database 42 and the frame database 41 stored in the problem database 42 of the game database server 40. Combine game frame-specific frame data.

The combining unit 51 selects a word having a syllable number suitable for the frame data from the problem database 42 based on the frame data corresponding to the game board having a predetermined shape from the frame database 41 (S110). For example, when the first game board has a shape as shown in FIG. 3, after checking the number of cells (eg, 5) of the horizontal frame (first horizontal frame) located on the upper left of the first game board, the problem database ( A word having the same syllable number as the cell number is selected from the words stored in 42). Next, the relationship between the number of repeated use of the selected word and the set maximum number of repetitions is compared (S120 to S130). If the number of repetitions is larger than the set maximum number of repetitions, another word having the same syllable number as the number of cells of the first horizontal frame is searched in addition to the word (S140). However, when the number of times of repeated use is less than (or less than) the set maximum number of repetitions, one game data is generated by combining the selected word, for example, "Abyss," to the horizontal frame (S150).

The combination of the frame and the word is made, and the number of repetitive use is increased by +1 for the word selected and used in the combination (S160). The number of times of repeated use may be stored in the problem database 42 corresponding to the selected word. Then, the combination unit 51 stores the generated game data in the combination database 54 (S170).

Next, the first vertical frame intersecting the first horizontal frame is selected, and words having four syllable numbers, for example, "moral" are selected and combined according to the number of cells of the first vertical frame (eg, FIG. 3). See).

When this process is repeated for each frame included in one game board, game data for the first game board is generated as shown in FIG. 3 (S180). The combined game board number is increased by +1 (S190). The combining unit 51 repeats the combining process S110 to S170 as described above until each word is used up to the maximum number of repetitions while temporarily storing the generated game data in the game database 43.

When all the words in the problem list stored in the problem database 42 are used by the maximum number of repetitions and the combining process as described above is completed, the first probability measuring module 521 of the evaluator 52 executes the combination database 54. The number of game boards (total game boards combined with words and frames) generated according to the combination from (S200 to S220) is determined based on the total number of game boards and the set maximum number of repetitions. The probability is calculated (S230). The probability of appearance can be calculated as follows.

Probability of appearance = maximum number of iterations / total number of boards

When the first occurrence probability is calculated according to the combination and probability calculation process as described above, the controller 53 stores the value in the evaluation database 55 and then changes the set maximum repetition number to another value. Based on the changed maximum number of repetitions, the above combination process and probability calculation process (S100 to S230) are performed again. When the combination and probability calculation process for the changed maximum repetition number is completed and the second occurrence probability is calculated, the control unit stores the result in the evaluation database 55, changes the maximum number of repetitions, and then performs the combination and probability calculation process. Repeat it. As described above, the evaluation unit 52 performs a process of calculating the appearance probability while changing the maximum number of repetitions to obtain a plurality of appearance probabilities (S240).

The values of the plurality of occurrence probabilities obtained according to the completion of the process are compared, the maximum value is recorded, and the maximum iteration number change, the combination and the probability calculation process are repeatedly performed until the maximum value falls. Subsequently, when the maximum occurrence probability value is obtained, the controller 53 determines the maximum number of repetitions at that time, that is, the maximum number of repetitions used in calculating the maximum occurrence probability value (S250 to S260).

As described above, when the optimal maximum number of repetitions is determined, a game board provided in the actual game is generated based on the optimal maximum number of repetitions as follows.

8 illustrates a process of generating game data based on an optimal maximum number of repetitions according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The control unit 53 performs the combination of the frame and the problem based on the optimum maximum number of repetitions. The combining unit 51 performs a process of combining words with respect to the game board of the set number X under the control of the controller (S300 to S310). That is, as described above, the combination unit 51 selects a word having a number of syllables suitable for the frame data based on the frame data corresponding to the game board having a predetermined shape from the frame database 41. If the number of repetitions of the selected word is less than or equal to the optimal maximum repetition number, the selected word is combined with the corresponding frame to generate one game data, and then the number of repetitions of the selected word is increased by +1. Let's do it.

When the frames and words of the X game boards are combined based on the optimal maximum number of repetitions, the second probability measuring module 523 of the evaluation unit 52 measures the frequency for each type of words used in the X game boards. (S320). That is, the frequency, which is the number of times each word is repeatedly used, is measured for each of the different words used in the X game boards. Next, the second probability measurement module 523 calculates a standard deviation for the frequency of each of the different words. In this way, the standard deviation with respect to the frequency of the words used in the plurality of game boards is stored in the evaluation database 55 as a haptic probability (S330 to S340).

As described above, the process of combining and generating the X game boards based on the optimal maximum repetition number and calculating the standard deviation of the frequency of each word used in the generated X game boards is performed by the set number (Y). Alternatively, the process is repeated until the maximum standard deviation obtained during the set time is not updated. In an embodiment of the present invention, the above procedure is repeated but is not limited thereto. Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, if one haptic probability is obtained, it is determined whether the current haptic probability obtained is greater than the haptic probability (maximum haptic probability) having the maximum value among the previously found haptic probabilities. If it is greater than the maximum haptic probability (S350), the presently obtained haptic probability is set as the maximum haptic probability, and the above process of calculating the haptic probability is repeated (S360). However, if the current haptic probability is not greater than the previously obtained maximum haptic probability, the time count starts (S370) and then repeats the above process of calculating the haptic probability (S380). After resetting the haptic probability to the maximum haptic probability, the process of calculating the haptic probability is repeated (S390 to S400). On the contrary, if it is less than the maximum haptic probability, it is determined whether the counted time has passed the set time (S410). If the set time has not elapsed, the process returns to step S370 to repeat the process of calculating the haptic probability, and the set time has elapsed. If so, the process of calculating the probability of haptic ends (S420).

When the maximum haptic probability is determined according to the steps as described above, the combination determination module 524 determines the optimal gameboard data with less frequent occurrences of words used in the game boards used when the maximum haptic probability is calculated. Determine them to (S430).

On the other hand, when the difference between the maximum haptic probability and the remaining haptic probability finally determined by the above process is within the error range, calculating the haptic probability having a value located within the error range and the game boards applied when calculating the maximum haptic probability The difficulty level and / or average word count of the game boards applied at the time can be compared to finally determine the game boards to be used in the game. For example, game boards with a high average word count and low difficulty are determined as game boards to be used in the game.

The puzzle game can be played vertically and horizontally using game data generated in combination as described above. 9 illustrates a process in which a puzzle game is performed in length and width. When entering the game room formed in the user predetermined channel connected to the system 100, as shown in Figure 9, the game progression unit 31 of the game server 30 is a plurality of game boards stored in the game database 43 One of the game board is selected and provided to the user, and problems according to the game board are provided to the user. According to the problem provided as described above, when the user enters a predetermined word as a correct answer to the problem, that is, the user determines whether the input word matches the correct answer, and if it does not match, requests re-entry, and matches If so, the correct answer is displayed on the game board, and the game progress (problems solved by the user, category of problem, time taken to solve the problem, etc.) accordingly is recorded in the result database 44. The process as described above is repeated until the end of the game, and in particular, in the embodiment of the present invention, as the words for the game board provided, i. Can be kept.

In the above embodiment, the user has been playing the puzzle game vertically and horizontally through the network, but, instead, the game method as described above may be applied to the horizontal puzzle game that is performed offline. A person skilled in the art can easily implement the same problem to be provided in the offline vertical and horizontal puzzle game on the basis of the above embodiments, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Meanwhile, the game method described above may be implemented in the form of a program stored in a computer-readable recording medium. The recording medium may include any kind of recording device that stores data that can be read by a computer. For example, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, and the like may be used. Included is implemented in the form of).
