DETAILED DESCRIPTION In order to fully understand the present invention, the operational advantages of the present invention, and the objects achieved by the practice of the present invention, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings which illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention and the contents described in the drawings.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Like reference numerals in the drawings denote like elements.

1 is a diagram illustrating a system for controlling online game use time according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling online game using time according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, the online game using time control system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is the use request processing unit 110, the control unit 120, the user DB 130, ID-IP matching unit ( 140, the use state check unit 150 and the blocking unit 160 is provided.

The online game using time control method 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention first establishes a user database (S210). To this end, the use request processing unit 110 uses the online game using time control system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention and the user's request to limit the access time to the online game using time, that is, the game server and the corresponding Receive an identifier for a user's user computer.

Preferably, the identifier for the user computer may be a Media Access Control address (MAC) which is a unique number of the LAN card of the user computer. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the identifier for the user computer is assumed to be a MAC address. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

The user's request may include information on the online game usage time to be limited. For example, the online game allowance time can be set to 3 hours per day for the first user (or the first user computer, the user PC1).

The controller 120 may use the MAC address of the user computer provided by the use request processor 110 as a user identifier (ID) to database information on the user (or user computer). In this case, the information on the user (or user computer) may also include information on the online game using time set by the user.

The database for the user thus constructed may be stored in the user DB 130.

When the ID-IP matching unit 140 receives information on the Internet access of the user computer registered as the user ID among the user computers connected to the Internet, the ID-IP matching unit 140 matches the IP address of the user computer with the user ID (S220). . The IP address for the user computer can be assigned by the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which automatically assigns an IP address when the user connects to the network.

In this case, the user ID may be provided from the controller 120. In addition, matching information between the IP address and the user ID of the user computer may be transmitted to the controller 120.

Preferably, a specific IP band may be allocated to user computers of the online game using time control system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example, IP bands from 210.94.128.0000 to 210.94.128.9999 may be allocated to user computers using the online game use time control system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, the usage state checker 150 may transmit the online game use state of the user computer having the IP address provided from the control unit 120 to the control unit 120. In particular, the usage checker 150 filters packets transmitted over the Internet from the user computer of the corresponding IP address (or IP band allocated to the user computers of the online game usage time control system 100). It may be (S230).

In this case, the filtering may be performed through traffic mirroring and switching operations. Since the filtering of the packets using the traffic mirroring equipment and the switch can be easily performed by those skilled in the art, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The blocking unit 160 counts packets destined for the game server among the packets filtered by the use state checker 150 (S240). Information about the destination of the packets may be included in the header of the packet.

In addition, the blocking unit 160 may include a timer (not shown) set as an online game allowable time included in the user database, and may reduce the set time of the timer in response to counting for the packet (S250). For example, if an online game allowance time of 3 hours per day is set for the first user computer (user PC1), the blocker 160 departs the game server among the packets for the first user computer (user PC1). Each time the packets are counted, the time of the timer can be reduced by 1 unit time (for example, 10 seconds).

1 and 2, the blocking unit 160 may check the time of the timer to determine whether the online game allowance time has expired (S260). The blocking unit 160 may determine that the online game allowable time expires when the timer time becomes "0".

Until the online game allow time expires (“N” in S260), the control system and control method according to the embodiment of the present invention filter packets transmitted from the corresponding IP address and send the destination of the filtered packets to the game server. Count the packets and check the timer's time.

Then, when the online game allowance time (timer setting time) set for the corresponding IP address expires (“Y” in S260), the blocking unit 160 may block the TCP connection to the corresponding IP address. However, the present invention is not limited to blocking the TCP connection to the corresponding IP address, and the blocking unit 160 may block only the access to the game server for the corresponding IP address.

As such, the online game using time control system and control method according to an embodiment of the present invention does not use resources of the user computer and does not require updating of the user computer, but through network filtering in a high-speed Internet network. Efficient and complete control of online game play time.

As described above, optimal embodiments have been disclosed in the drawings and the specification. Although specific terms are employed herein, they are used for purposes of describing the present invention only and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. For example, the online game usage time control system of FIG. 1 may control not only the access time to the game server but also the access time to another server.

Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible therefrom. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention will be defined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In order to better understand the drawings cited in the detailed description of the invention, a brief description of each drawing is provided.

1 is a diagram showing a system for controlling online game use time according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling an online game using time according to an embodiment of the present invention.
