For example, the quiz game progress module 320 may transmit a quiz game problem to 1000 answer mode player terminals. At this time, if the problem created by the question mode player is insufficient, the quiz game progress module 320 may transmit the preliminary quiz problem stored in the problem buffer to the plurality of answer mode players 120.

The answer mode player terminals 120 receive a quiz game problem (S507), and transmit an answer to the received problem to the online quiz game providing system 300 (S509).

When a quiz game problem is transmitted from the online quiz game providing system 300, the quiz game widget 500 is switched to the state of FIG. 16. Referring to FIG. 16, the quiz game widget 500 transmits a quiz game problem display unit 539 for displaying a received quiz game problem, a selection field display unit 541 for displaying a selected field, and another quiz game problem. Problem replacement request button 543 for sending the request signal. In this case, the quiz game widget 500 may display the ID of the question mode player who has asked the quiz game problem. The quiz game widget 500 is shown in FIG. 16 in the case where a cell having the ability to differentiate into various kinds of body tissues, which is a quiz game problem in the field of "common sense common sense", is received from the online quiz game providing system 300. By way of example, this may be indicated.

In addition, the quiz game widget 500, the answer input unit 545 for inputting the answer to the received quiz game problem, and the answer transmission button for transmitting the input quiz game answers to the online quiz game providing system 300 547. In addition, the quiz game widget 500 may include a response transmission remaining time display unit 549 indicating a remaining time for transmitting a quiz game answer. When the answer mode player inputs his or her written answer in the answer input unit 545 of the quiz game widget 500 and then clicks the answer send button 547, the written answer is transmitted to the online quiz game providing system 300. FIG. 16 shows a state in which the answer mode player inputs "stem cells" to the answer input unit 545 as an answer to a given quiz game problem. In this state, when the send answer button 547 is clicked, the entered answer is online. The quiz game providing system 300 is transmitted. If the answer is not transmitted within the time displayed on the answer transmission remaining time display unit 549, the problem may be regarded as wrong.

Answer Mode When the player sends an answer for a quiz game problem given to them to the online quiz game providing system 300 using the quiz game widget 500, the quiz game progress module 320 receives answers to the quiz game problem. Answer mode player terminals 120 to receive (S511).

Next, the quiz game progress module 320 determines whether the quiz game answer received from the answer mode player terminal 120 is the correct answer (S513). The determination of whether the received quiz game answer is the correct answer may be made by whether the received quiz game answer is the same as the quiz game presenter transmitted to the question mode player terminal 110. That is, if the received quiz game answer is the same as the quiz game presenter, it is determined that the received quiz game answer is the correct answer. If the two are not the same, it is determined that the received quiz game answer is not the correct answer. On the other hand, if a quiz game answer is not received within a predetermined time (for example, 20 seconds) from the answer mode player terminal 120, the answer mode player terminal 120 may be treated as not a correct answer.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, if it is determined whether the received quiz game answer is the correct answer, the quiz game progress module 320 transmits the correct answer to the answer mode player terminal 120 that transmits the quiz game answer. (S515).

The answer mode player terminal 120 that has sent the answer may receive whether the answer sent by the user is the correct answer (S517), and may display whether the answer is correct through the quiz game widget 500.

FIG. 17 illustrates an example of displaying a quiz game answer on the quiz game widget 500 when the quiz game answer is notified by the online quiz game providing system 300. When the quiz game answer is the correct answer, a message indicating that the answer is correct may be provided with a reward for correcting the quiz game problem. A quiz game point may be given as a reward for correcting a quiz game problem, and FIG. 17 shows an example in which four quiz game points have been added as a reward for correcting a correct answer. You can give feedback to the question mode player in a variety of ways as to whether the answer you provided is the correct answer. For example, depending on whether the correct answer can give a strong feedback with a predetermined sound. Such quiz game points may be stored in corresponding user information of the user information database 350.

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 17, the quiz game widget 500 may include a disappointment button 552 for reflecting the moderator's disappointment in response to the quality of the quiz problem for the presenter. If the question mode player feels that the quality of the quiz game problem sent to him is low, the user presses the disappointment button 552 to give feedback. In response, the quiz game providing system 300 receives a certain level of disappointment feedback for the specific question mode player. In this case, a predetermined penalty may be added to the question mode player. For example, according to the disappointment feedback rate of the question mode player, penalties such as deducting game points of the question mode player, adding a quiz waiting time, limiting a problem questioning opportunity, and reducing a personal dictionary are provided. This disappointment feedback can improve the quality of quiz game problems.

FIG. 18 shows that when the answer mode player receives a new problem by clicking the next problem receiving button 551 in the quiz game widget 500 of FIG. 17, the content is displayed on the quiz game widget 500. By inputting an answer to a quiz game problem given in the answer input unit 553 of the quiz game widget 500 of FIG. 18, the answer mode player may proceed to a quiz game with a new quiz game problem. If the next problem receiving button 551 of the quiz game widget 500 is clicked without the answer being transmitted, the problem may be regarded as wrong.

The quiz game progress module 320 repeatedly performs the processes of FIG. 5 for a plurality of answer mode player terminals. That is, the quiz game progress module 320 sends the same quiz game problem to a plurality of answer mode player terminals 120 that select an answer mode and send a quiz question transmission request. For example, the online quiz game providing system 300 transmits the same quiz game problem to 1000 answer mode player terminals 120. As described above, since the same quiz game problem is transmitted to the plurality of answer mode player terminals 120 and the answer is received, the reliability of the correct answer rate of the quiz game problem may be improved.

In the above, the question mode player sends a quiz game problem from the quiz game widget 500 of FIG. 11, and the quiz game progress module 320 receives the quiz game problem and transmits the quiz game problem to the plurality of answer mode player terminals 120. Then, the quiz game progress module 320 receives the answers to the quiz game problem from the answer mode player terminals 120 to determine whether the correct answer, and then transfers the result to the answer mode player terminal 120 will be described. It was. However, it is apparent that such specific processes and information display methods may be variously modified without departing from the protection scope of the present invention.

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 6, the quiz game progress module 320 calculates the correct answer rate of quiz game answers received while repeatedly performing the process of FIG. 5 with respect to the plurality of answer mode player terminals (S601). The correct answer rate is transmitted to the question mode player terminal 110 (S603). Furthermore, after all of the answers are received from the plurality of answer mode player terminals and whether the correct answer is determined, the quiz game progress module 320 may calculate the final correct answer rate and transmit the final correct rate to the question mode player terminal.

Then, the question mode player terminal 110 receives the correct answer rate (S605), and displays the received correct answer rate on the display device.

Meanwhile, while receiving answers from the answer mode player terminals 120, the quiz game progress module 320 may transmit the progress of the quiz game to the corresponding question mode player terminal 110. For example, the quiz game progress may be a ratio of the number of received quiz game answers to the number of answer mode player terminals 120 having received the corresponding quiz game problem, and FIG. 12 shows that the quiz game progress is 42.1. The display form of the quiz game widget 500 at the point of% is shown as an example.

Since the answer mode player does not become a predetermined number of people, the filling rate or the number of the answer mode player may be displayed on the quiz game widget 500 of the question mode until the answer mode player becomes a predetermined number while the question mode player is waiting.

FIG. 13 exemplarily shows a display form of the quiz game widget 500 when the final percentage of correct answers received from the online quiz game providing system 300 is 83.2%. In this case, the reward details (for example, point scores) obtained by asking the quiz game question may be displayed in the quiz game widget 500 together with the final correct rate, and further, the final correct rate of the quiz game problem is the quiz game. The rank among the final percentages of quiz game problems for the presenter may be displayed in the quiz game widget 500. FIG. 13 shows an example of a display form when the point score obtained by asking a quiz game question is 21 and the ranking of the final correct answer rate is 11th.

In this case, the reward given to the question mode player may be determined according to the final correct rate of answers for the quiz game problem. In other words, the higher the final percentage of answers to quiz game problems, the greater the reward. The question mode player submitting a quiz question is thus motivated to submit a quiz game question that best describes the presenter so that as many correct answers as possible are possible.

12 and 13, the quiz game widget 500 may display an average percentage of correct answers 534 indicating an average percentage of correct answers for the quiz game presenter. The average percentage of correct answers means the average value of percentages of questions answered by other question mode players for the quiz game presenter. By displaying the average percentage of correct answers for the quiz game presenter, the question mode player can simultaneously view the percentage of correct answers and the average percentage of correct questions of the quiz game questions he or she has raised, thereby further increasing the interest of the game.

After displaying the final percentage of correct answers, points obtained, etc., the quiz game widget 500 may be switched to the state of FIG. 14. When the next selection button 555 is clicked in the state of FIG. 14, a new quiz game presenter can be transmitted.

Meanwhile, the quiz game progress module 320 stores a quiz game presenter, a quiz game problem for the quiz game presenter, and a final correct rate of the quiz game problem in the quiz game database.

Meanwhile, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the quiz game progress module 320 performs the processes of FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 with respect to the plurality of question mode player terminals. That is, the same quiz game is received by transmitting the same quiz game presenter to a plurality of question mode player terminals to receive quiz game problems, and transmitting each of the received quiz game problems to a plurality of answer mode terminals to receive quiz game answers. It is possible to secure a plurality of quiz game problems that differ in the correct answer rate for the presenter. And information about the ranking of the quiz game presenter, quiz game problems for the quiz game presenter, final correct rates of quiz game problems, and final correct rates of answers to a plurality of quiz game problems is provided in the quiz game database 340. Can be stored. Presenter-problems provided in this manner can be used in various ways. For example, the highest final correct rate among quiz game problems for a particular quiz game presenter may be exposed to a search result of the presenter in a search engine. Therefore, an easy-to-understand explanation can be provided to the user who searches for the present word.

By setting a target correct rate for the quiz game presenter, a quiz game may be performed until a correct answer rate exceeding the set target correct rate is obtained. If the correct answer rate of a quiz game problem for a quiz game presenter exceeds the target correct rate, the quiz game problem is sufficient to explain the quiz game presenter, so it is recommended that the quiz game presenter is no longer used in the quiz game. However, if the correct answer rate is difficult to exceed the target correct answer rate according to the quiz game presenter, the number of times to approach the highest correct rate in a statistical manner can be used as the number of times the quiz game presenter can limit the number of questions. That is, the number of quiz games for which the highest percentage of correct answers is obtained for the quiz game presenter is obtained by using a statistical method, and the number of quiz games is used as the number of quiz games. For example, if it is found by the statistical method that the highest percentage of correct answers is obtained when 50 quiz games have been performed, the number of quiz games may be set to 50 times. In addition, if a quiz game is played as many times as the number of quiz games with respect to one quiz game presenter, the quiz game no longer performs the quiz game even before the target correct answer rate is exceeded. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the quiz game from being performed for a long time because the correct answer rate of the quiz game problem for the high difficulty quiz game presenter does not reach the target correct answer rate. Meanwhile, when the quiz game presenter has a high difficulty, the same effect may be obtained by setting the target correct answer rate lower.

Referring to FIG. 19, a method of adjusting the numerical ratio of both in the process of receiving quiz game problems from a plurality of question mode players and transmitting each quiz game problem to a plurality of answer mode players will be described.

First, the numerical ratio of the question mode player and the answer mode player can be adjusted by adjusting the latency of the question mode player and the problem buffer. That is, if the number of answer mode players is insufficient, it is possible to secure a time margin for securing the answer mode player by increasing the waiting time of the question mode player. On the other hand, when the quiz game problem that is questioned by the question mode player terminal is insufficient, the preliminary problem stored in the problem buffer may be asked to prevent the quiz game from being delayed due to the lack of the quiz game problem. When the quiz game problems q1, q2, ..., qn are received from the question mode players of Q1, Q2, ..., Qn, they are stored in the problem buffer in the order in which they are received. Then, if a set number of answer mode players (for example, 1000 answer mode players) are secured, the first received q1 is transmitted to these answer mode players. Next, if a reset number of answer mode players are obtained, the next problem q2 is sent to answer mode players. In this process, the quiz game problems accumulated in the problem buffer are sequentially transmitted to the set number of answer mode players. On the other hand, if there are no quiz game problems stored in the problem buffer, the preliminary questions b1, ..., bn preliminarily prepared in the problem buffer are transmitted to the answer mode players.

Further, in this process, it is possible to further finely adjust the appropriate numerical ratio between the question mode player and the answer mode player by displaying the congestion degree of the terminal in the question mode and the answer mode terminal and adjusting the distribution score. For example, when there are few question mode players and a relatively large number of answer mode players, the number of question mode players can be increased by increasing the congestion mode of the answer mode or a high score assigned to the question mode. Conversely, when there are many question mode players and relatively few answer mode players, the number of answer mode players can be increased by increasing the congestion of the question mode or by setting a high score assigned to the answer mode. By adjusting the congestion or distribution score in this way, it is possible to prevent the quiz game player from being driven into either the question mode or the answer mode. The congestion degree and the distribution score may be calculated by the quiz game progress module and transmitted to each terminal, and the congestion degree and the distribution score transmitted to the terminal may be displayed on the quiz game application.
