2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a waiting room screen of an online game for explaining the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the game area 10 is located at the center of the waiting room screen to display a game character and allow the user to check his / her character. In addition, the media area 20 displaying various contents provided by the content server 210 is located at the top of the game screen. The media area includes a content information area 22, a content reproduction area 24, and other areas 26.

The content information area 22 shows information related to the content being played back in the content reproduction area 24. For example, when a music video is played, album information including the music video, singer information, information related to the main actor of the music video, and the like appear. In addition, the content information area 22 may display a content list provided by the content server 210 and allow the game client user or the owner to select desired content.

In the content play area 24, various contents received from the content server 210 are played. Ad content provided by a game sponsor company or an advertisement company may be played. In addition, today's photogenic or game highlights stored in game play may be played in the form of video content. The content play area 24 includes interactive contents including not only videos related to advertisements, but also various quizzes, puzzles, various application screens, mini games provided by news or content providers, game methods of games to be played, and the like. Can be reproduced to induce user interest.

The other area 26 is responsible for an interface function that allows a user to respond to content being played. That is, when the content to be played is in a quiz format, the game user may input a correct answer through the other area 26.

The position at which the content information area 22, the content play area 24, and the other area 26 described above and the content content played in the area may be variously changed according to embodiments. It may be displayed in the region of. In addition, the interactive content may be implemented to be displayed in a pop-up form on the game screen. In addition, as described in the embodiment of the present invention, not only the content is played in the game waiting room screen state, but also the advertisement content may be played on the game execution screen within a range that does not interfere with game play.

3 is a block diagram of a game server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the game server 110 includes a channel management module 112, an information transmission module 114, and a game progress module 116, and communicate with a game client so that users can play an online game. do.

The channel management module 112 notifies the game DB 130 when the user accesses the game server 110 so that the game DB 130 updates the user access information, and refers to the game server 130 with reference to the game DB 130. The list of game rooms established at 110 and the current state of each game room, i.e., the user proceeds with the game (marked "in game"), waits for the participation of other users (marks as "waiting"), or is empty. Provides information about the state (marked "create") to the game client. The game room refers to a cyber space where the online game is independently performed, and one game channel corresponding to one game server 110 includes a plurality of game rooms. The user may create a game room or participate in the game room. Accordingly, the channel management module 112 reflects the information about this in the game DB 130.

When the game client connects to the game server 110, the information transmission module 114 provides the game client with information about a user who is connected to the corresponding game channel. Some of the user information, for example, a user identifier, an avatar, a gender, and a grade may be provided first, and the remaining detailed information may be provided when a user requests it separately. The information transmission module 114 may also provide chat data to the game client so that users can chat with each other.

The game progress module 116 transmits the game data necessary for starting the game to the user terminal 400 when the user enters the game room and requests to start the game, and receives the game data transmitted from the game client based on the user's operation. After processing according to the game logic, the response data is transmitted back to each client terminal. When the game is finished, the user who participated in the game may be rewarded according to the game's winning or ranking, and based on this, the user information of each user stored in the game DB 130 may be updated.

Although the game server 110 has been described as including three modules 112, 114, and 116 in the present embodiment, the three modules may be functionally integrated or separated from each other, and thus the game server 110 may be configured to include three modules. It may consist of one or more modules instead of two.

4 is a block diagram of a content server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the content server 210 includes a content search unit 211, a stream control unit 212, a content storage unit 213, a content cache unit 214, and a stream transmission unit 215. The content received from the management server 280 is delivered to the game client.

When the content indexer 211 receives a content request from the game client, the content indexer 211 designates the content according to the user of the game client. The content retrieval unit 211 retrieves customized content suitable for a user entering a waiting room or a game room through the user information DB 250 in which the content request information of the user is recorded. For example, when a user connected to a game room or a waiting room is a male in his 30s or 40s living in a large city, the content retrieval unit 211 may designate advertisement contents related to a car. As such, the content retrieval unit 211 analyzes the consumption pattern of the user from the condition information such as age, gender, and residence stored in the user information DB 250 and designates the advertisement content to be transmitted. In addition, the content search unit 211 may analyze the propensity of users connected to the same game room and designate corresponding content. For example, if three teenage women and one teenage male are connected to the same game room, advertisement content suitable for a large number of teenage women can be designated. Of course, according to the embodiment, since different genders are connected at the same time, content may be designated according to the age of teenager, which is a common factor without considering gender. In this way, the content can be designated according to the propensity of users connected to the game room, and the content specification criteria can be considered various conditions.

For this operation, the content searching unit 211 may include list information about contents that may be provided to the user terminal 400 by the content providing system 200. The content list information may be provided in advance from the content management server 280 or may be obtained from the content storage unit 213. The content list information may be indexed to search for suitable content according to conditions such as gender, age, and region.

The stream controller 212 searches whether the content designated by the content search unit 211 is located in the content cache unit 214 or the content DB 240. Since the data access speed and processing speed for the content cache unit 214 are much faster, the stream control unit 212 preferably performs content search with priority from the content cache unit 214. In addition, among the various contents requested by each user, the stream control unit 212 preferably searches for contents having a large number of transmission requests. On the other hand, the stream control unit 212 retrieves the content and confirms the storage location, and notifies the streaming transmission unit 215 so that the streaming transmission unit 215 reads the content from the location and transmits it to the game client.

When the stream control unit 212 searches for the corresponding content, the stream control unit 212 may temporarily store the corresponding content in the content cache unit 214 to improve the search and transmission speed. In this case, the stream control unit 212 informs the streaming transmission unit 215 of the content cache unit 214 having the temporarily stored content. Here, the stream control unit 212 delivers the content to the content cache unit 214 according to the priority according to the type, capacity, transmission request rank, etc. of the content, and stores the content. For example, in the case of content having a high transmission request rate, the content must be transmitted to many game clients. The stream control unit 212 increases the transmission speed by delivering the high content transmission rate to the content cache unit 214. Minimize the load on the content server 210.

The content storage unit 213 stores information about content stored in the content DB 240, for example, a content list stored in the content DB. The content storage unit 213 reads the content stored in the content DB 240 and serves as a path for the stream control unit 212 to access the content DB 240 to detect the corresponding content.

Here, the video content is preferably stored in the content DB 240 in a form that is pre-encoded in a form suitable for output from the user terminal 400, but is not limited thereto. It is also possible to implement to encode and output in a form suitable for the output from the terminal 400. In particular, when the content is a CF advertisement being broadcast in real time from a broadcasting station (not shown), the content server 210 may output the real time encoding in a form that can be output from the user terminal 400. In this case, the content server 210 may further include a module (not shown) that supports a codec for content encoding.

The contents cache 214 stores a portion of video content in order to minimize the load of the content server 210 and stores the video content in a memory rather than a hard disk so that it can be transmitted at a high speed. The content transmitted to the game client through the content cache unit 214 is maintained or deleted on its own based on the number of transmission requests and the ranking. In other words, content with a low number of transmission requests or a high rank is deleted by itself, and content with a high number of transmission requests or a high rank is maintained for a certain period of time.

Therefore, since the content having a higher transmission request rank is longer to be stored in the content cache unit 214, the stream control unit 212 prefers the content cache unit 214 to the content storage unit 213 when searching for the content. Search with.

The stream sender 215 transmits the designated content to the game client of the user terminal 400 in a streaming manner. That is, the stream transmission unit 215 reads the content from the content storage unit 213 or the content cache unit 214 where the content is located and transmits the content to the game client.

The game providing system 100 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention described above allows a plurality of game users to be connected to each other via a communication network and play a game that is executed on a personal computer as well as a network-accessible game console. Can be applied to any system. Meanwhile, the content server 210, the content DB 240, and the user information DB 250 constituting the content providing system 200 may bundle a plurality of computers into one and process variable work loads as a single computer, or to a specific server. It can be implemented by applying clustering technology that ensures that operations continue even if problems occur.

Next, a method of providing content for advertisement by the content server 210 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5C. 5A to 5C are exemplary views illustrating screens displayed on a media area according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In particular, FIGS. 5A to 5C illustrate screens displayed on the content reproduction area 24 or the other area 26 in the media area 20 shown in FIG. 2 as an example. In addition, the content described with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5C is composed of interactive content generated so that a game user can participate in quizzes, questionnaires, voting, application, etc. through operations such as clicking, dragging, and text input.

First, Figure 5a is an exemplary view showing an advertising screen in the form of a quiz. The content provider advertises the new product through the CF video content, and questions related to the new product in a quiz format as shown in FIG. 5A. When the quiz problem is watched CF video, it is preferable to answer the question with difficulty that can be easily solved. As shown in FIG. 5A, the quiz question may be provided in a multiple-choice or short-answer form with respect to the name or product specification of the new product. .

When a quiz question is provided, the game user who enters the game waiting room clicks the correct answer or inputs the correct answer within a predetermined time. Here, if all the game users waiting in the waiting room to check the correct answer can proceed to the next step. Alternatively, only the correct answer to the quiz question can be given to pay Game Money or points.

5B is an exemplary diagram illustrating an advertisement screen associated with numbers or dates. As in FIG. 5A, the content provider advertises a performance or a new product through a CF video or a material screen, and then quizzes information related to the performance or a new product.

If a date or number such as a scheduled release date of a new product, a price of a specific product, or a scheduled concert date is displayed in a quiz format, game users waiting in the waiting room may enter one of the numbers corresponding to the correct answer in the check box shown in FIG. You can enter the entire answer. For example, when the correct answer is December 30, the numbers to sequentially enter the check boxes (indicated by "O" in FIG. 5B) are "1", "2", "3", and "0". Here, the content server 210 may set the game user to input all the correct answers, and set the game server to input only some numbers of check boxes designated to each game user.

That is, some game users may be asked to enter a number to enter the third column of check boxes, and other game users may be entered to enter a number to enter the fourth column. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5A, when all game users waiting in the waiting room check the correct answer, the user may proceed to the next step or pay the game money or points only to the correct answerer.

5C is an exemplary diagram illustrating an advertisement screen in the form of a puzzle quiz. In the puzzle quiz type advertisement according to FIG. 5C, it is effective to use a promotional poster used for advertisement of a movie or a product or use a scene of CF. Similar to FIGS. 5A and 5B, the content provider may advertise a new product or performance through a CF video or material screen, and then divide the poster or image into a number of pieces, and the game user places them in order to produce a complete poster or image. Can provide quiz content in a way that is complete. The game user can drag and drop the pieces allocated to the game user to the proper positions. The poster or image can be divided by the number of game users waiting in the waiting room, and can proceed to the next step if all game users match all assigned pieces.

As described with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5C, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, all game users waiting in a game waiting room can take a quiz through a cooperative process, thereby inducing interest and interest in the content of the game user. Advertisement can be improved. In addition, since all game users must take a quiz through a cooperative process, the content server 210 may allow the content input by the game user to be reflected on the user terminal 400 of another game user. In addition, game money or points may be awarded to game users belonging to a group that solves a quiz quickly by varying the quiz content between some groups and some other groups among game users. In addition, in connection with the game game, the game user who has quizzed through a cooperative process can be paid more than the standard value provided in the general game win by applying a weight to the game money or points when winning the game. You can also pay game items that can be used directly in the game.

Meanwhile, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the content management server 280 may differentiate the advertisement content according to the level of the game and provide it to the user terminal 400. That is, a game user who enters a waiting room of a game high level may have a relatively long game time compared to a novice player. Therefore, the content management server 280, the higher the game level, it is effective to provide a content for advertising that can be continuously exposed, such as a series form or teaser advertising.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the content management server 280 may adjust the frequency of providing the content according to the access time of the user terminal 400 or the access amount of the game server 110.

The content management server 280 increases the frequency of providing content for advertisements between 5 pm and 10 pm, which is the most active time for game users, and vice versa, from 9 am to 12 am, when the game is least accessible. In the meantime, the frequency of providing advertisement content is reduced.

In addition, since a game may be concentrated in a specific game server 110 due to the nature of a game in which a community exists in the game, the content management server 280 may be connected to a user terminal 400 connected to a game server 110 having a large amount of connection. Increase the frequency of providing advertising content. Similarly, the frequency of provision of advertisement contents is reduced for the user terminal 400 connected to the game server 110 having a small amount of connection.

In general, game users connected to the game server 110 having a small amount of connection are often waiting in the waiting room alone, and they are likely to perform multitasking mainly in the state of being connected to the game server 110. Therefore, from the point of view of the actual game service provision, it is not very efficient to continuously provide the advertisement contents to the game server 110 with a low connection amount. Accordingly, the content management server 280 may increase the effect of the advertisement by increasing the frequency of providing the advertisement content for the user terminal 400 connected to the game server 110 having a large amount of connection.

As such, the content management server 280 determines the type or frequency of providing the advertisement content according to the game level, the access time zone, the game server, and maximizes the advertisement effect as much as possible.
