It includes a DB server 40 to provide.

In this embodiment, the Go game service system is described as being divided into a web server 10, a betting server 20, the power server 30, DB server 40, which is divided for convenience to explain the present invention It is to be understood that various modifications may be made within the scope of the present invention, such that each server may be configured as one server, or may be divided into a plurality of servers.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the betting server 20, the power server 30, and the DB server 40 of the system shown in FIG.

For convenience of description, the server server 30 will be described first, the server server 30 proceeds to play a game between the actual players, and provides the winning and losing to the betting server 20, DB server 40, in this embodiment The power server 30 includes a signal transmission and reception unit 31 and a power management unit 32.

The signal transmission / reception unit 31 receives or transmits a predetermined signal related to the progress of the game from the external terminal 50, stores the result in the DB server 40 after the game ends, and provides the web server 10. Provided to the terminal 50 through.

The power management unit 32 is a module for progressing and managing power between both players, and since the module and the function used for playing an online game, such as a normal Go, are mostly common, description thereof will be omitted.

Since the method of calculating the dividend rate and paying the dividend according to the betting result is well known, the description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the DB server 40 is a member management DB 41 that stores detailed information of the members who can use the Go game service of the present invention, and the player information that stores information related to the player performed through the player server. It includes a DB 42, if requested by the betting server 20 or the server 30, provide the corresponding data, or receive new data. In detail, the member management DB 41 stores personal information such as a member's name, ID, social security number, etc., point information held by the member, betting details, point payment details paid according to the betting result, and the like. In addition, the power information DB 42 provides power records (notifications) for at least one power, odds information calculated by the odds calculation unit, information of a member who performed a betting on a seat, and a predetermined terminal after the end of the power. It includes points (dividends) information, dividends paid in connection with the four-seat betting, and various game information necessary for the normal Go game process.

Hereinafter, an example of a method of providing a Go game service according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

First, as in a normal online Go game service, when a regular member connects to the web server 10 and opens a game room (S101), the game manager 32 displays a game screen so that two players can play a game of Go. In addition to the display, a beacon betting selection mark for allowing a viewer other than the player to perform the betting stone according to the present invention is displayed on the playing screen (see FIG. 3) (S102). In this case, it is preferable to display the dead stone betting selection mark adjacent to the betting screen so that the user can easily recognize the spot.

Subsequently, the betting manager 22 of the betting server 20 monitors whether or not the viewer selects the displayed seating bet selection mark (S103). If the spectator does not select the seat betting selection mark (S103, No), the waiting state is made until the game ends. If the seat betting selection mark is selected (S103, Yes), the betting manager 22 activates the seat betting window and displays the mark to the selected viewer (S104).

Bet management unit 22 determines whether the bet is made through the activated four-seat betting window (S105), if the bet is not made (S105, No), the waiting state is made until the end of the match. When the spectator makes a predetermined bet (S105), the player management unit determines whether or not the player has played up to 100 players (S107). If the order of the games is more than 100 (S107 NO), it is easy for the spectator to determine which player among the black and white players will acquire more seats. Therefore, in order to maintain the zest of the above-mentioned four-quarter betting, if the Go proceeds up to 100, the power management unit 32, even if the viewer selects the four-seat betting selection mark to activate the four-seat betting window, even if you want to perform the four-seat betting In the meantime, the bet is not placed and the player is in a waiting state until the end of the match. On the other hand, if the order of the players is 100 or less, the betting management unit stores the betting information, that is, the information that the viewer selects which player among the black and white players will acquire more seats in the player information DB 42 (S107). Further, preferably, the betting manager 22 also stores, in the player information DB 42, information on whether the viewer has selected whether the total number of the seats is odd or even, in addition to the seat betting.

After the above-described series of processes is completed, when the game ends (S108), the result of the game is confirmed, and it is determined which player among the black and white players has obtained more seats regardless of the result. Based on this information, the dividend payer 24 pays the director's dividend to the spectators who have bet on which of the black and white players has gained more seats, according to the already calculated odds. In addition, since the total number of the four seats is determined to be even or odd, the dividend payment unit pays additional dividends based on the result to the spectators betting whether the total number of the four seats is odd or even (S109).

While the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, it should be noted that the above examples are provided to aid the understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. In other words, the above-described embodiments may be variously modified and modified within the scope of the following claims, and all of them fall within the scope of the present invention.
