More specifically, the present invention can provide a mission to a user who plays a block game and provide a reward according to whether the mission is successful. The present invention relates to a block game service providing method, a system, and a recording medium having recorded thereon a program for implementing the same.

Recently, with the development of network technology, high-speed transmission of large-capacity multimedia data becomes possible, and according to the universal spread of the user terminal which can be connected to the network, a contents provider (CP) that provides various kinds of contents to the user is rapidly developed. The trend is increasing.

Recently, content providers have provided various kinds of contents such as search, shopping, games, and chat services. Especially, game services have become a major business of content providers in that they can secure a large audience. .

Currently, many users are enjoying block games such as Tetris among the games provided through the Internet in that many users can easily access and multi-party games.

Tetris, the most representative game of the block game, was developed by Alexi Pazinov of Russia in 1985. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, randomly provided O (200), Z (202), and T ( 204), L 206, J 208, S 210, and I 212, the user moves the left and right, or rotates to fill one or more horizontal lines without empty space This is a game to be removed, and if the horizontal line cannot be removed, the pile ends when the pile of blocks reaches the deadline (generally the top of the game screen).

Initially, the Tetris game was provided for one person so that when the user removed a preset number of horizontal lines, the game board would end and a new game could be played.

Recently, however, multi-party Tetris games have been provided by the activation of online games, and the game pattern of each user can influence the games of other users, instead of simply removing the horizontal lines, so that a workshop can be established between each user. Its game forms are diversifying.

As an example of influencing other users' games, when removing a horizontal line with an inverted item (an item for inverting an operation key), the user may invert other user's operation keys or remove a certain number of horizontal lines. In this case, adding a predetermined number of empty horizontal lines (hereinafter referred to as 'interruption block lines') to another user's game screen, the addition of the obstructive block lines, for example, three horizontal lines The removal is the addition of two disturbing block lines to another user.

However, in the block game such as Tetris according to the prior art, the items that can be used to the user's advantage is randomly provided, there is a problem that the accidental factors, not the user's ability, affects a lot.

In addition, if a certain user removes a certain number of horizontal lines, the number of disturbing block lines provided to other users is uniformly applied to all users, and there is no way to provide additional disturbances to other users. There was a problem that halved.

In addition, since the game proceeds without considering the user's level, there is a problem that the user with a low level can only disadvantage.

In addition, according to the related art, in the case of a multi-party block game, it was all of the rewards to provide the users who can level up to the first and second place users, and not only the ranking but also the user achieved a certain purpose during the game. In this case, there is a problem that the user's interest is halved because there is no system that provides a compensation accordingly.

In the present invention, in order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, in the block game, such as Tetris, to provide a variety of missions to each user, if the mission is achieved, by providing a variety of rewards can multiply the user's interest A method and system for providing a block game service and a recording medium on which a program for implementing the same are recorded are proposed.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of a method, a system for providing a block game service according to the present invention and a recording medium on which a program for implementing the same is recorded.

1 is a block diagram of a block game service providing system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the block game service providing system according to the present invention may include a user client 300, a web server 308, a game server 310, and a database 312.

The user client 300, the web server 308, and the game server 310 are connected through a network, where the network includes the Internet, a wired network including a dedicated line, and a wireless network including a wireless Internet, a mobile communication network, and a satellite communication network. It may include all.

The user client 300 is a plurality of terminal devices connected to a network to receive a block game service such as Tetris, and may include a desktop PC, a notebook computer, a mobile phone, a PDA, and a mobile broadcast system (MBS) phone. have.

The user client 300 may include a web browser 302, a launch module 304, and a game application 306, which may log in a user from a web server 308 operated by a game service provider. Or, it receives and displays a web page for requesting game use.

When the user requests to use the game through a web page, the web browser 302 executes the launch module 304, and thus the launch module 304 launches the game application 306 to launch the game application ( 306 connects to game server 310.

The launch module 304 may be automatically downloaded to the user client 300 through an object tag in the web page provided by the web server 308. The launch module 304 may be installed in the form of ActiveX control. It may be, but is not limited thereto.

When the user requests the use of the game through a web page, the launch module 304 executes the game application 306 as described above, and checks the version of the game application 306 and updates it to the latest version. It also performs the function.

The game application 306 is a program installed in the user client 300 to allow a user to actually play a game. The game application 306 receives a channel list from the game server 310 and displays it to the user, and the user enters a specific channel. And when requesting to participate in the game room, receives information about the channel and the opened game room information from the game server 310, and performs the function of transmitting and receiving game packets for using the block game during the game.

When the user requests a login, the web server 308 included in the game service system performs a process of authenticating the user, and transmits a web page for allowing the user to request the use of the game to the user client 300. do.

When the user requests to use the game through the web page provided by the web server 308, as described above, the game application 306 installed in the user client 300 is executed to connect with the game server 310. The server 310 transmits the channel list information to the user, when the user enters a specific channel, the user information during the game or waiting in the channel and the opened game room information to the user client 300.

When the game is progressed by opening or entering the game room of the user, the game server 310 relays transmission and reception of game packets between users participating in the game room.

According to the first embodiment of the present invention, when the game is started at the request of the owner, the game server 310 extracts mission information to be provided to each user according to a preset algorithm, and the user client ( 300).

Here, the "mission" is an action that the user can intentionally perform during the block game, and when the mission is successful, predetermined reward processing such as providing game items and paying game money is performed.

Mission types include double, triple, tetris, burnout, combo, cascade, horizontal line elimination using specific blocks (O, Z, T, L, J, S and I shown in Figure 2) Speed level achievement, back-to-back and T-spin, etc. may be included, but is not limited thereto.

Double, Triple and Tetris remove 2, 3 and 4 horizontal lines on the game screen, respectively, and Burn out removes all blocks on the game screen.

Combo means to remove the horizontal line every time the block falls.

Cascade means that when the bottom of the block fixed to the game screen becomes empty, the fixed block falls down and horizontal lines are removed.

Horizontal line removal using a particular block considers the mission to be successful, for example, if "removing horizontal lines with Z blocks" is a mission, and the last block used to remove horizontal lines is a Z block.

Achieving flat speed means that the speed at which a user sets a block in a predetermined area of a game screen becomes a certain speed or more, and the faster a user sets a block appearing on a game screen, the higher a score can be given.

In the block game, on the other hand, as the number of horizontal lines removed by the user increases, the speed at which the blocks fall is faster, and the speed level is achieved by the user removing a certain number of horizontal lines so that the block falling speed is set to a preset speed. It means to reach.

Back-to-back is the user acts to remove the horizontal lines in the same way. Referring to FIG. 11, after the user performs four-line elimination through the tetris (see 1100), the user does not remove the horizontal lines in the middle. This means that the horizontal line removal is successful with Tetris (see 1102).

That is, the back-to-back means that the tetris is continuously performed without any other horizontal line removal between the tetris and the tetris, but is not necessarily limited to the tetris.

T-spin is a technique of rotating the T block in a special situation. Referring to FIG. 12, when the T block is locked down (the block is completely fixed to the game screen over time), the T block is formed of 4 blocks. A technique of removing a horizontal line by rotating at least one of the two points (point 2 in FIG. 12).

Depending on the number of horizontal lines removed using T-spin technology, there can be T-spin singles (one line removed), T-spin doubles (two lines removed) and T-spin triples (three lines removed).

Here, a point means a basic unit constituting individual blocks, and each individual block may be composed of four points.

According to the present invention, the type of mission described above is just an example, and the performance of various technologies occurring during the block game and whether a specific state is reached may be given as a mission.

According to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the following table, the mission provided to the plurality of users may be the same for all users, but may be differentially provided in consideration of the level of each user.

Table 1 Same Mission Provided to Users

User 1 triple User2 triple User3 triple User 4 triple User 5 triple User6 triple

[Table 2] Different missions available to users

User 1 double User2 triple User3 T-spin double User 4 Tetris User 5 triple User6 Burned down

That is, as shown in Table 1, at the start of a block game, the game server 310 may provide the same mission of a triple to all users according to a preset algorithm, but if there is a difference in skills between the users, the game fairness To this end, as shown in Table 2, using the level information of each user, it is possible to provide a different mission to each user.

According to the present invention, other missions may be provided according to the block game map as well as the level information of the user.

The block game map is a basic game screen provided at the start of a game. The block game map may have no blocks at all, but may be a map in which other obstructive blocks are pre-arranged in the middle, and the block game map may vary depending on the form of the obstructive block. I can be divided.

In addition, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the game server 310 may set a time limit for each mission.

Here, the "time limit" is a time required for mission success and is intended to grant a penalty to the user when the mission is not successful within the time limit.

That is, if the time limit is exceeded without successfully completing the mission, a disadvantage such as adding an obstructive block line to the user's game screen may occur.

Meanwhile, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the user succeeds in the mission provided by the game server 310, the game server 310 extracts additional mission information and transmits the additional mission information to the user client 300.

In this case, the additional mission may be differentially provided using the level information of all users.

In addition, when the user succeeds in the mission, the game server 310 enables appropriate compensation to the user who successfully completed the mission.

Rewards according to the present invention may include real-time rewards and non-real-time rewards. Real-time rewards may affect the progress of the game in real time, and may include provision of game items and update of attack amount.

In general, a game item is included in at least one point of an individual block as shown in FIG. 2, wherein if the user removes the horizontal line containing the game item, a change that would benefit the user who removed the game item, Changes that interfere with other users will occur.

For example, items that benefit the user may include one or more lines of block lines, a decrease in the speed of block drop, an empty space of the block lines, and an item to remove all the block lines on the screen. Items that provide obstacles to the user may include adding one or more lines of block lines, deleting blocks containing game items, dropping transparent blocks, and reversing the operation keys for moving left and right.

In the past, such a game item was randomly provided. However, according to the present invention, when a mission provided from the game server 310 is successful, a game item may be provided which may be advantageous to the user or may be adverse to the opponent. It will be able to double the interest.

In addition, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, by providing a low difficulty mission to the user with a low difficulty to facilitate the success of the mission, through this, it is possible to achieve a fairness of the game by providing a game item advantageous to them .

"Attack" refers to the degree of disturbance applied to another user when the user has succeeded in a particular technique, for example, if the user removes the horizontal line using double, triple or tetris techniques, the disturbance block to the other user. When it is set to add 1, 2, and 3 lines, respectively, the number of the above-mentioned disturbing block lines corresponds to the attack amount.

According to the first embodiment of the present invention, when the game server 310 receives the mission success message from the user client 300, the game server 310 updates the attack amount of the user, accordingly, the game server 310 In case of double action, it is possible to have other users add 2 hindered block lines instead of 1, and if multiple missions are successful, the attack amount is accumulated by a certain percentage and later accumulated by other users. Make it possible to provide disturbing block lines.

In the above, as an example of real-time compensation, the game item provision and the attack volume update have been described. something to do.

On the other hand, the non-real-time compensation according to an embodiment of the present invention can be provided to the user without affecting the progress of the game, and may include weighting and providing lottery items to experience and game money.

In general, when a plurality of users play a block game, a large number of horizontal lines may be removed, or the last remaining user may be determined as a winner, and the game winner is provided with a number (experience value) for raising the level.

In the present specification, a numerical value for raising a user level is defined as a term of "experience value", but other terms that mean a value provided to a game winner may be used instead of the term experience value.

According to the present invention, after the game is finished, the game server 310 may provide the game winner with the experience value by summing the values calculated according to the mission success to the basic experience value.

In addition, "game money" can be used for game character purchase, character decorating, etc. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a game money in which the weight of the mission is added to the basic game money according to the game win.

In the present invention, the "lottery item" is, for example, when there are a plurality of users who have succeeded in a predetermined number of missions, the item is provided only to some users selected by the drawing, for example, such as a cyber lottery. It may include.

The non-real-time reward as described above may be paid according to the game result when the game ends, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

In addition, in the above, when the game starts, one mission is provided to each user, and when the user succeeds in the mission, the game server 310 extracts and provides an additional mission, but this is also merely an example. At the start of the game, it is possible to provide each user with a mission list including a plurality of missions, and the game server 310 may provide a reward for the success of individual missions included in the mission list.

Meanwhile, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, a process such as outputting additional missions, outputting game items according to the success of the mission, and updating the attack amount is not the game server 310 but the game application 306 installed in the user client 300. Can be performed by itself.

That is, when the game starts, the game server 310 creates a mission list including a plurality of missions and transmits the mission list to the user client 300.

In this case, the plurality of missions included in the mission list may be the same for all users, but may be different when there is a difference in ability of each user.

According to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the game application 306 sequentially outputs the missions included in the mission list on the game screen according to the priority, and when one mission is successful, the game information of the next rank is displayed. Performs a function that prints on the screen.

In addition, the game application 306 outputs a game item corresponding to the mission success on the game screen when the mission is successful, and performs a process of updating the attack amount information.

According to the second embodiment of the present invention, since the game server 310 performs only a process of providing a mission list and providing non-real time compensation (provide experience value, payment of game money, etc.) according to the success of the mission, work throughput may be reduced. have.

The database 312 is connected to the web server 308 and the game server 310, and stores ID and password information for user authentication, user experience and level information, game money, and odds of winning.

4 is a diagram showing the module configuration of a game server according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, the game server according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a game control module 400, a mission information extraction module 402, a time limit setting module 404, and a game packet relay module 406. And compensation processing module 408.

The game control module 400 controls a game start by receiving a game start signal of the master, and in the present invention, performs a function of controlling an overall process such as mission information extraction, game packet relaying, and reward processing according to mission success. do.

In addition, the game control module 400 performs a process of determining a winner of the block game.

The mission information extraction module 402 receives a control signal from the game control module 400 and extracts mission information to be provided to a plurality of users according to a preset algorithm.

If a different mission is provided to each user, the mission information extraction module 402 may provide a mission having a higher level of difficulty as a user having a higher level using the difficulty level of the mission and the level information of each user.

Meanwhile, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the mission information extraction module 402 extracts only one mission when the game starts, and additionally extracts mission information when a mission success message is received from the user client 300. The process can be performed.

As such, even in the process of extracting additional mission information, differential missions may be provided to each user according to user level information.

The timeout setting module 404 performs a process of setting a timeout required for each user to succeed in the mission. The time limit information set as described above is transmitted to the user client 300 together with the mission information. If the user does not succeed in the mission within the time limit, the game application 306 outputs the preset penalty on the game screen. do.

Here, the penalty is a disadvantage provided to a user who does not succeed in the mission, and may include adding a predetermined number of obstructed block lines, inversion of an operation key, falling of a transparent block, and the like.

However, the time limit may not be set in some cases, and if the time limit is not set, the penalty may not be applied.

The game packet relay module 406 performs a function of receiving packet data related to game progress from each user client 300 and transmitting the packet data related to the game progress to another user client.

The game packet may include identifier information for identifying each user, information about a movement path of a block, horizontal line removal information, and game item application information. You can check the progress on one interface screen.

In addition, the game packet relay module 406 transmits the extracted mission information and time limit information to each user client 300, and performs a function of receiving a mission success message from the user client 300.

On the other hand, in the above described the game server relays the game packet transmitted by each user, when each user client 100 proceeds the game in a P2P method, the game packet relay of the game server 310 is not performed In addition, it is possible to receive only the game result value from each user client 300 while simply managing address information of each user client.

The reward processing module 408 performs a reward processing process according to the mission success, and as illustrated in FIG. 5, the game item extraction module 500, the attack amount update module 502, the experience calculation module 504, The game money calculation module 506 and the lottery item extraction module 508 may be included.

If the user succeeds in the given mission, the user client 300 transmits a mission success message to the game server 310, and accordingly, the game item extraction module 500 extracts a game item to be provided to the user who has successfully completed the mission. do.

As described above, a game item means a state change that is beneficial to a successful user or a state change that is disadvantageous to another user, and removes one or more lines of a block line from his or her game screen, and drops a block. Items that are beneficial to you, such as slowing down, removing free space on block lines, removing all block lines on the screen, and adding more than one line of block lines to other users, deleting blocks contained in game items, transparent There may be items that are disadvantageous to other users, such as block fall and reverse (which causes the operation keys for left and right movements to be reversed).

The attack amount update module 502 performs a process of updating the attack amount that is set uniformly for all users for each user.

As described above, the attack amount may include the number of disturbing block lines added to other users when the horizontal line is removed. Generally, the basic attack amount is set to be the same for all users at the start of the game.

If each user succeeds in the mission, the attack amount update module 502 performs a process of updating the attack amount for each user. For example, if the base attack amount is "blocking another user when 4 horizontal lines are removed," 3 Lines ", the mission success will allow a certain user's attack volume to be updated by +2, so that if a specific user removes 4 horizontal lines, the other user will see 5 interrupted block lines Can be added.

The experience calculation module 504 calculates the weight according to the success of the mission and provides the game winner with a value for raising the level, and reflects it to the basic experience.

For example, the experience value calculation module 504 calculates a weight (add 100 or 20%) that is added to the base experience value by using the number of missions and the type of the mission that the user has succeeded, and uses these figures to provide the user with the numbers. The experience to be provided will be calculated.

As a result, the more successful the user, the faster the level can be achieved, the more interesting the user can be.

The game money operation module 506 performs a process of reflecting the weight of the mission success in the basic game money provided to the game winner.

Similar to the experience calculation, the game money calculation module 506 calculates the weight using the mission success number and the type of the mission, and calculates the game money to be paid to the user by reflecting this on the basic game money.

The lottery item extraction module 508 performs a function of extracting a lottery item to be provided to a user who has successfully completed a mission.

The lottery item may mean, for example, an item provided only to a user selected by lottery among users who have succeeded in a predetermined number of missions, and may include a predetermined prize, a lottery, and the like.

As described above, the game server 310 according to the present invention provides a variety of missions to each user during the game progress, and, if the mission is successful, does not affect the real-time reward and game progress that affects the game progression. By providing non-real time rewards that can induce user interest and make the block game more thrilling.

6 is a diagram illustrating a module configuration of a game application according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 6, the game application according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a game packet transmission / reception module 600, a mission display module 602, a mission success message generation module 604, a timer module 606, It may include a penalty output module 608 and a user interface module 610.

The game packet transmission / reception module 600 may receive a packet transmitted from another user from the game server 310 or transmit a game packet of the user to the game server 310 when a game is played among a plurality of users. Perform.

The mission display module 602 outputs the mission information transmitted from the game server 310 to the game screen. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the game server 310 transmits one piece of mission information to the user client 300, the mission display module 602 displays this on the game screen. If the mission is successful, the game server 310 performs the function of displaying additional mission information additionally transmitted instead of the previous mission information.

However, this is only an example, and when transmitting a mission list including a plurality of missions to the game server 310, the plurality of missions may be simultaneously displayed on the game screen.

The mission success message generation module 604 generates a mission success message when the user succeeds in a given mission, and the generated message is transmitted to the game server 310 through the game packet transmission / reception module 600.

As described above, when the game server 310 receives the mission success message, the game server 310 transmits the game item to the user client 300 in response to the mission success message, and performs the attack amount update process.

The timer module 606 performs a process of determining whether the time limit has been exceeded when the time limit necessary for the mission to be successful is set.

If it is determined by the timer module 606 that the mission has not been performed within the time limit, the penalty output module 608 outputs a preset penalty on the game screen.

As described above, the penalty may be displayed on the game screen of the user who has not completed the mission in the form of adding a block line, inverting an operation key, and dropping a transparent block.

After receiving the information input by the user, the user interface module 610 transmits the user's input information to the module to perform an operation corresponding to the input information.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a block game service providing process according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, first, the user client 300 transmits channel list request information to the game server 310 (S700). The game server 310 transmits all currently established channel lists to the user client 300 (S702).

Thereafter, the game room participation request is processed by the request of the user client 100 (S704).

When the user requests to enter a specific channel, a specific game room, or to open a game room, the game room join request provides information about a channel currently opened by the game server 310 and information about an entrance or a game room opened and starts a game. It means to be able to.
