The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for a game game service using a communication network, and in particular, in a game game played through a communication network, each participant individually decides the mission to be achieved according to the hand loss for each participant. To help.

Due to the development of communication technology and related technologies such as graphics and sound, various types of computer games are provided. Computer games have been developed in the form of online games that allow users to play games by accessing game servers through various communication networks such as the Internet or mobile communication network, instead of allowing them to be executed independently on a personal computer (PC). .

Among the online games, there are games such as GoStop games, which are played using the playing cards. In general, online Hwatu games have a form in which participants play games in order according to Hwatu game rules in a virtual space, and because they are relatively simple, they combine various interesting elements.

As an example in this regard, a method of providing a mission is provided for each game game board, and a mission means a set of game cards that a participant participating in the game game needs to collect in the game board. An example of a GoStop game would be a mission to collect a high hand, or a mission to collect four cards in January.

Meanwhile, when providing such a mission, one mission is presented for each edition, and this mission is commonly applied to each participant. For example, if the game suggests collecting one won and four losses in the current game, both players should attempt to collect four losses in January.

In other words, the conventional mission providing method is very simple and has a narrow range of application. Since the game server is unilaterally designated and presented, it has nothing to do with the game state of each participant. There was a limit to getting the game interesting.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, in the fighting game made through a communication network, it is possible to set a variety of missions to present for each edition of the fighting game, and also to participate in the fighting game It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for using a communication network using a communication network that allows the participants to be individually determined according to the hand loss to be distributed, so that the game can be played more interestingly.

In order to achieve the above object, the Hwatu game service apparatus using the communication network according to the present invention is connected to the user computer device through a communication network to provide a Hwatu game service, can set the mission card for each type of mission for the Hwatu game. A mission information setting unit to make; A hand loss determination unit which randomly determines a hand hand to be given to each participant when the conversation game starts; A mission determination unit that individually determines the missions to be achieved by each participant by comparing the hand loss of each participant determined by the hand loss decision unit with a mission-specific mission hand set through the mission information setting unit; And a game server that plays a fight game between each participant and provides a certain reward depending on whether each participant has achieved a corresponding mission as a result of the progress of the fight game.

The mission determining unit is configured to determine a mission with the highest hand loss or a mission with the highest hand loss among the set mission-specific mission hands as the mission to be achieved by the participant. Can be.

The mission information setting unit may be configured to set information regarding rewards to be provided to participants who have achieved the corresponding missions for each mission type.

At this time, the game server may be configured to provide a reward set for the mission to the participant who has achieved the mission.

In addition, the reward that the game server provides to the participant who has achieved the mission may be made while the conversation game is in progress, and may be configured to be performed when the conversation game ends if necessary.

On the other hand, the Hwatu game service method using a communication network according to the present invention, the step of setting the mission card for each type of mission for the Hwatu game provided through the communication network; Determining, by the game server that is playing the game with the user computer device, a hand loss to be distributed to each participant when the game is started; Comparing the hand hand determined to each participant with the set mission hand for each mission to individually determine a mission to be achieved by each participant; The game server playing a conversation game between the participants; And providing, by the game server, a reward for the participant who has succeeded in his mission as a result of the progress of the fighting game.

The step of individually determining the missions to be achieved by each participant may include: a mission with the highest hand loss among the set mission missions for each participant, or a mission having the highest proportion with the hand loss of the participant; May be configured to determine the mission to be achieved by the participant.

In addition, the game server may be configured to inform the other participant of the mission determined for each participant.

In such an embodiment, the game server may be configured to provide a certain reward to the participant who succeeded in the mission of the opponent as a result of the progress of the fighting game.

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

Referring to FIG. 1, users access their game service system 13 through various communication networks 12 such as an internet network or a mobile communication network by using their computer device 11-1. You can use a variety of game games provided by this.

The user's computer device 11-1 can access not only a personal computer (PC) but also an online conversation game provided by the game server 13-3 by accessing a communication network 12 such as a mobile phone or a personal digital assistant (PDA). It can be configured with various computer devices, and the Hwatu game client 11-2 for executing and progressing the Hwatu game is installed. The Hwatu game client 11-2 may be configured as a computer program installed and operated on the computer device 11-1, recorded on a digital data storage medium such as a CD-ROM, and distributed to a user. Is typically downloaded and installed automatically.

The game service system 13 that provides a conversation game service may be configured according to the type of the communication network 12.

The game service system 13 may be configured in various ways as needed. For example, the game service system 13 may provide various information related to the Hwatu game service through the Internet, and allow the user to open a game account by registering. Each user is provided through a web server 13-1 which plays a role of downloading a game client program, an authentication server 13-2 which authenticates a user who wants to use a game game, and a communication network 12. The game server 13-3, which enables the playing game, and the database 13-4, which stores and manages various information required to operate the game service system 13 and provide the game playing game service. It may comprise a component.

In particular, the game server 13-3 may serve a variety of playing cards games according to the types and rules of playing cards games such as folk paintings and go-stops.

Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be mainly described in terms of a GoStop game in order to facilitate the understanding of the description.

An example of a process in which the game server 13-3 serves a high-stop game will be described.

When the user logs in to his game account and executes the Hwatu game client 11-2, the Hwatu game client 11-2 is connected to the game server 13-3 through the communication network 12. Then, the user uses the game participation interface screen provided by the game server 13-3 to create a game room by himself or to join a game room created by others.

When the game room is full and the owner clicks the Start Game button, a GoStop game is played between the participants in the game room.

The game server 13-3 randomly selects a hand to hand to each participant when a high-stop game is started in a game room. The number of hands lost to each player may vary depending on the number of participants in the game. For example, in a two-player hit game, ten players are dealt to each player, and in a three-player go-stop game, seven hands are dealt to each player.

Referring to FIG. 2, to illustrate an example of a user interface (UI) screen displayed on each user computer device in a game in which two people participate, my hand card 21 means a hand given to one's hand. The opponent's hand (22), which refers to the hand given to the opponent's hand, the floor hand (23) that can be eaten if the player who is placed on the floor and is open and currently playing is the same hand as his hand. 뗄 pack bunch (24) gathered in a true state, my eating place (25) is a place to collect their own hand, the other party is a place to eat the other party eats a place (26).

In general, a Japanese hand consists of four cards each from January to December, and one or more double skin cards may be added separately. You can take your hand and eat that floor plaque. In addition, after inverting the uppermost plaque in the bundle bundle 24, you can choose to eat the same plaque of the bottom plaque.

In this way, each participant who participates in the GoStop game proceeds in order and proceeds by designating and lowering any one of my current hand paddles.

That is, each participant uses various input devices such as a keyboard or a mouse provided in his or her computer device 11-1 to select a hand to be played, to perform a shake generally included in the GoStop rule, or to present If the score can call Go, go-stop game is progressed while entering game commands such as selecting Go or Stop.

In this case, when the game instruction inputted by the participant needs to be transmitted to the other party, the player sends the game instruction to the game server 13-3 in the form of a packet, and the game server 13-3 transmits the game instruction included in the packet. By transmitting to the Hwatu game client of each participant participating in the game together, the Hwatu game client of all participants participating in the game can recognize the overall game progress.

When the game is finished, the game server 13-3 calculates the points for each participant according to the winning and losing. Here, points are used as a comprehensive meaning of cyber money, which is earned and lost between participants according to the win or loss of the game regardless of its name, such as cash, mileage, game money, or acorn.

With reference to FIG. 3, an embodiment of a Hwatu game service device (hereinafter, referred to as a Hwatu game service device) using a communication network according to the present invention will be described.

The mission information setting unit 31 allows the administrator to set missions to be applied to the fighting game by type and to set mission cards for each mission.

A mission is a set of battle cards that a participant in the game must collect in the game in order to receive special rewards. This mission can be set in various ways as needed.

4 shows an example of setting a mission through the mission information setting unit 31. The mission paddle for the 'cheongdan' mission is three paddle paddles among the cardinal paddles, and the mission paddle for the 'hongdan' mission is the paddle paddle. In the middle of the red paddle, the mission card for the 'Ultradan' mission is the top three paddle among the Japanese paddles, and the mission paddle for the 'Kodori' mission is three pieces of Godori paddles (10 pads in February, 4). 10 loses during the month and 10 loses during the August, missions for the January mission are 4 cards in January, missions for the February mission are 4 cards in February, The mission hand for the March mission is four losses in March, the mission hand for the April mission is four losses in April, the mission hand for the May mission is four losses in May, and the June 'Mission hand for mission is 4 losses in June, mission hand for July mission is 4 losses in July, mission hand for mission' August 'is 4 losses in August, mission' September ' Mission hand for Korea's hand is 4 losses in September, mission for 'October' mission is 4 for October hand, mission card for 'November' mission is 4 for November hand, mission for 'December' mission. The hand loses in December with four losses, the mission loss for the 'clean' mission is the three losses in May, June, and July, and the mission loss for the 'Sangpy' mission is the September losses and 12 to November. It is set to the double blood of the month.

The hand loss determination unit 33 randomly determines a hand loss to be distributed to each participant when the fighting game starts. At this time, as described above, depending on the number of participants participating in the fighting game, the number of hand losses to be distributed to each participant may vary.

The mission determination unit 32 compares the hand loss of each participant determined by the hand loss determination unit 33 with the mission hand for each mission set through the mission information setting unit 31 to individually determine the mission to be achieved by each participant. Play a role. That is, as in the prior art, the mission to be achieved in the current edition is not applied to each participant in common but is applied to each participant individually.

The method of determining the mission to be applied to each participant by using the mission hand of each participant and the mission hand for each mission set by the mission information setting part 31 may be variously configured as necessary. will be.

For example, the mission paddle constituting each mission may be configured to select a mission that most closely matches the hand of the participant.

As another example, since the number of mission hands may vary for each mission as shown in the example shown in FIG. 4, the mission pads constituting each mission may be configured to select a mission having the highest proportion of hand loss of the corresponding participant. You may.

A specific example of a method of determining a mission in the mission determination unit 32 will be described with reference to FIG. 5. In this case, it is assumed that the mission information setting unit 31 has n missions consisting of missions # 1 to #n.

First, the variables i, m, and temp are initialized (S51). The variable i is used to check all missions in order, and the initial value is '1', and the variable m is used to find the mission number that has a high match rate with the participant's loss. The initial value is '0'. The variable temp is used to store the highest value of the match rate among the missions investigated so far. The initial value is '0'.

The participant's hand paddle calculates a ratio that matches the mission hand of the i th mission and stores this value in the temporary variable k (S52). Step S52 may be calculated according to the following equation (1).

Number of hands that match the mission hand of the i mission with the hand of that participant / Total number of mission hands of the i mission

For example, if two of the hand paddles of the participant's hand paddle are included, the coincidence ratio is rounded up to 66.7 (%) when calculating for the "single" mission in the mission shown in FIG.

Now, the variable temp value is compared with the variable k value in step S52. If the variable k value is greater than the variable temp value (S53), the variable temp value is updated to the variable k value so that the variable temp value is the most matched ratio up to now. Maintain a high ratio (S53-1) and update the variable m value to the variable i value (S53-2).

If the variable i is not n, there is still a mission to investigate, so increase the value of variable i by 1 and proceed to step S52 (S54, S55). Since the investigation is completed, it is checked whether the variable m value is '0' (S56).

As a result of the determination in step S56, if the value of the variable m is not '0', since the match ratio for the mission corresponding to this value is the highest, mission #m is determined as the mission that the corresponding participant will achieve (S57).

However, if the variable m value remains 0, none of the participants' hand loss matches the mission hand of each mission, and the participant may arbitrarily determine the mission to be achieved (S58).

Referring to FIG. 6, a mission determined through the above process will be described as a specific example. Participant A who has the same mission as the example shown in FIG. 4 is set through the mission information setting unit 31, and participated in the game. If the hand of the player is as shown in Fig. 6A, the ten players of participant A will have 10 of the February hand (61-2), 10 of the April hand (61-1), and 8 of the August hand. Since the hand 61-3 is included, the match rate with the 'Kodori' mission is 100%.

In addition, if the hand of the opponent participant B who has been beaten and participated in the game is as shown in FIG. 6B, the ten hand losses of participant B include three ultra-low hand cards (62-1, 62-2, 62-3). The coincidence rate for the mission is 100%.

Accordingly, the mission determination unit 32 will determine the 'Koridori' mission for the participant A, and the 'cleaning' mission for the participant B.

If there are two or more missions with the same coincidence ratio, the mission may be arbitrarily determined from among the missions, or the rewards for achieving each mission may be better as described below.

Now, the game server 34 divides each participant's hand loss determined by the hand loss decision unit 33 to each participant, and also informs each participant of the participant mission determined by the mission decision unit 32. And, each player will play a fight game.

In this case, the game server 34 may inform only the corresponding participant of the mission determined for each participant, or may inform the other participant.

Then, each participant learns the mission of the opponent and can operate the strategy to hinder the achievement of the opponent's mission, so that the game can be played more interesting.

In this embodiment, the game server 34 may be configured to provide a certain reward to the participant who succeeded in the mission of the opponent as a result of the progress of the fighting game. Thus, how the game server 34 applies the mission determined individually to each participant can be variously configured as needed.

On the other hand, the game server 34 may execute a certain reward to the participant who achieved the mission. Compensation is a benefit that a participant receives when he / she completes his or her mission, and the rewards to be provided can be variously configured as necessary. As an example of a reward, a player who achieves a mission can add twice as many points to the player's points as he earned in the fighting game.

In this regard, the mission information setting unit 31 may be configured to set not only the mission hand for each mission type but also the compensation when the mission is achieved.

In this embodiment, the compensation set for each mission may be set differentially. For example, set the reward to double points when you complete Mission # 1, set the reward to triple points when you complete Mission # 2, and the game when you complete Mission # 3. It may be set as a reward for paying an item.

In addition, when it is determined that a participant has achieved his or her mission when the Hwatu game is finished, the game server 34 provides the participant with a reward of the contents set by the mission information setting unit 31 for the corresponding mission. That is, in the above example, if the mission of providing double points is achieved, the player adds twice the points earned in the game to the player's account in the database 13-4.

In addition, the game server 34 may be configured to provide a reward as soon as the mission is achieved even before the game is finished. For example, if you achieve the 'Kori Dori' mission, it may consist of rewards such as taking blood one by one from other participants.

With reference to FIG. 7, an embodiment of a conversation game service method using a communication network according to the present invention will be described.

First, a mission type and a mission hand for each mission are set for a fighting game provided through a communication network (S71).

Then, the game server for playing a game game through the communication network with the user computer device determines the hand to hand each participant when the game game starts (S71, S73).

When the hand loss to be divided to each participant is determined in step S73, the hand loss of each participant is compared with the mission hand for each mission set in step S71, and each mission is determined individually (S74).

In step S74, a method of determining a mission to be achieved by each participant may be variously configured. For example, among the mission-specific mission hands set through step S71, the mission hand that matches the hand loss of the participant may be determined to have the highest number of missions, or the mission having the highest proportion that matches the hand loss of the participant may be determined.

Then, each participant is informed of the mission that the participant will achieve in this game (S75). That is, when a mission to be achieved by each participant is determined in step S74, the game server transmits a packet containing information indicating this to the conversation player of each participant, and the conversation game client of each participant receives the packet to perform the corresponding mission. Display visually on the user interface screen.

As a specific example, it is assumed that the players shown in Figs. 6A and 6B have been determined to the players A and B in the game in which the participants A and B participate, respectively, and that the 'Kodori' mission and the 'Cleaning' mission are determined in step S74, respectively. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the participant A's user interface screen displays a mission display 80 indicating that the 'high' mission is to be achieved, and as shown in FIG. 9, the participant B's user interface screen is displayed. A mission indication 90 appears indicating that a 'clean' mission must be achieved. The mission display may disappear from the screen after a certain time or by manipulation of the corresponding participant.

Now, the game server is playing a fight game between each participant (S76).

When the game ends (S77), the game server checks whether there is a participant who has accomplished the mission (S78), and when there is a participant who has accomplished the mission, the game server provides a reward according to the corresponding mission (S79).

At this time, as in the example described above, the rewards to be provided according to each mission may be set differently.

In addition, when the game server informs each participant of the mission determined in step S75, the game server may notify only the corresponding participant of the mission determined for each participant, or may be configured to notify the other participant. Then, each participant learns the other's mission and can operate the fighting game by operating a strategy that prevents the opponent from achieving the mission.

In such an embodiment, the game server may be configured to provide a certain reward to a participant who has succeeded in the other party's mission as a result of the progress of the fighting game.

As such, the game server may use a variety of methods to play a game game using a mission determined individually for each participant.

The above-described embodiments are intended to help the understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be variously modified and implemented by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention. to be.

According to the present invention, a mission to be achieved by each participant in an online conversation game provided through a communication network may be individually set according to each participant's hand. In addition, it is possible to identify and present a mission that is easy for each participant to achieve, thereby increasing the probability of accomplishing each participant's mission. Therefore, the game can be played more interestingly and strategic game operation is possible.
