Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a block diagram showing the components of a mobile history tour game using LBS according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile history tour game of the present invention includes a mobile terminal 10, a wired / wireless communication network 20, an LBS server 30, a mobile game server 40, and a database server 50.

The mobile terminal 10 is a user portable device such as a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), or a portable game machine. The mobile terminal 10 downloads a mobile game and displays the user's current location, exploration destination, and exploration route. In addition, the correct answer in the form of an image or text photographing the result of the search task is transmitted to the mobile game server 40 through the wired / wireless communication network 20.

The wired / wireless communication network 20 includes a general mobile communication network, an Internet, a communication network such as a public network, and the like, and transmits and receives data by connecting the mobile terminals 10, the LBS server 30, the mobile game server 40, and the database server 50. Let this be done.

The LBS server 30 provides the mobile terminal 10 or the mobile game server 40 with a service for acquiring the user's location and using the location information for providing the service to satisfy the user's location information request.

The mobile game server 40 includes a user manager 42 and a mobile game manager 44, and the user manager 42 determines whether the mobile terminal user is a legitimate user and can perform a mobile game only when the legitimate user is a legitimate user. Make sure

The mobile game manager 44 provides a mobile game to a legitimate user, receives the current location of the mobile terminal user from the LBS server 30, and explores an exploration route, a search task, a tourism information, corresponding to the current location and game process of the user. The advertisement or coupon is retrieved from the database server 50 and the search results are provided to the user.

Mobile games are produced on a city or regional level, and the exploration route is established by combining historical or culturally valuable places in each city, and other factors such as search tasks, tourist information or game contents are determined according to the exploration route. do.

The database server 50 may include a game unit 52 that stores a game for providing to the user when the user corrects the search task at the current location, and history, culture, and tourism that store information about a place where the user explores. Ads and coupons that store information 54, search tasks and answers 56 that store search tasks and correct answers corresponding to a user's current location, and advertisements and coupons that are provided when a user approaches a particular region or place Part 58 is included.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a mobile history tour game using an LBS according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3A and 3B are diagrams illustrating an entire exploration path displayed on a user's mobile terminal, and a user's current location and destination. Display the map. 4A and 4B show coupons displayed on a user's mobile terminal and historical information on a specific place, and FIG. 5 shows a search task given when a user arrives at a specific place among specific search places. 6A and 6B show historical information about the game and search location provided when the user submitted the correct answer to the search task.

Hereinafter, a method of a mobile history tour game using the location-based service illustrated in FIG. 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A to 6B.

First, the user downloads the mobile game program to the mobile terminal and moves to a specific place to start the mobile history tour game.

When the mobile history tour game is started, the mobile game server connects historical or culturally important places and transmits a map of the current location and exploration destination corresponding to the user's current location among the preconfigured sightseeing routes to the user's mobile terminal. (Step S10). That is, as illustrated in FIG. 3A, a map displaying a user's current location (indicated by a hand on the screen) and a tourist route indicating places to be explored by the user is transmitted to the user's terminal for display.

The user moves directly to the first exploration destination by using a walking or a car (step S20). In the process of moving, the mobile terminal displays the current location of the user and the route to the exploration destination using the LBS in detail map, and the user accurately and efficiently using the detailed map displayed on the mobile terminal. You will be taken to the exploration destination.

When the user moves to a destination and comes near a specific store that has registered an advertisement or coupon, the advertisement or coupon of the store pops up on the user's mobile terminal as shown in FIG. 4A, or as shown in FIG. 4B. You can receive information about nearby attractions while you move to your destination.

When the user arrives at the first exploration destination, the mobile game server gives the user a search task related to the exploration destination as shown in FIG. 5 (step S30). The search task is preferably to select a simple problem that can not be known if you do not actually go to the place, the user is to learn more information about the search place in the process of solving the search task.

The user solves the search task given at the current place and transmits the correct answer to the mobile game server 40 in the form of a text or a photo using the mobile terminal 10 (step S40).

The mobile game server 40 compares the search task answer transmitted from the user with the search task of the database server 50 and the correct answer stored in the correct answer unit to determine whether the answer is correct (step S50). If it is determined that the answer is incorrect, a message of incorrect answer is transmitted to the user, and the flow proceeds to step S40.

If the result of the determination in step S50 is a correct answer, the user may select a game or information related to the current destination where the user is located as a reward for the correct answer to allow the user to easily understand historical facts or cultural information through the game or information ( Step S60).

That is, the user may play a game based on historical facts as shown in FIG. 6A, or access historical information related to the current place as shown in FIG. 6B in text or multimedia form.

The game shown in FIG. 6A is a detective with a special ability capable of time travel, and is assigned a task of solving a mystery that the detective has not solved in the past by moving to the past in the game, and making time travel. This course consists of collecting clues about solving mystery from characters in the game and solving the mystery.

In addition, the characters that the detective encounters in the course of time travel are constructed based on historical facts and indirectly provide historical and cultural information about exploration sites.

The game plot is configured to be associated with the exploration route to obtain clues for solving the mystery at each exploration site, and the game is completed by solving the mystery in the game from the clues at each exploration site when all exploration is complete. It is configured to be. And even if the user's actual exploration path changes, the game can be completed by simply exploring all the locations of the exploration path.

After exploration of the current place, the mobile game server checks whether the current place is the last place of the exploration path (step S70). As a result of the check, the last place is terminated all the exploration process, and if it is not the last place, the process moves to step S10 and is given a map of the current location and the next exploration destination and moves to the next exploration place.

According to the present invention, when a user explores a historical or cultural place, the user can use the historical tour game using LBS to obtain an efficient route guide and information on the surrounding area without a tour guide, and provide the user with a game-type exploration task. By presenting, users can go directly to the exploration site in the process of solving the exploration project, and have the information about the exploration site through the mobile terminal, allowing them to experience the exploration site directly and indirectly. It enables a wider understanding.
