The item lottery system includes media such as buttons, tickets, capsules, etc., which a user can operate through the display unit of the terminal. The action that the user can take for the item lottery may be an operation such as clicking a lottery button, operating a slot machine displayed on the screen, playing a roulette wheel, using a ticket, or pulling a capsule through an input device of the terminal. Include. In general, any game or algorithm in which the concept of lottery can be used, could be used in an item lottery system. However, in the following description, in order to help the understanding of the present invention, description will be made taking an example of a capsule capable of drawing an item.

1 is a flowchart of an item lottery service management method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, an item lottery service management method according to an embodiment of the present invention may first allow the item lottery system to draw at least one item among items that can be used in an online game as mentioned above. In operation S10, the item lottery apparatus which the user can check through the user terminal is displayed on the item lottery service screen.

In the item drawing apparatus, at least one item may be displayed on the service screen according to a group of items to be drawn. The item lottery apparatus may also be displayed on the screen as an image such as a general drawing mechanism or an image like a capsule pulling mechanism. When the user inputs a usage, an animation of shaking the capsule is implemented, and one capsule comes out, and whether or not the winning is decided while playing the series of animations.

Therefore, when a plurality of item lottery apparatuses are displayed, an image such as a plurality of capsule extracting mechanisms may be displayed on a portion of the screen. In the following description, the item lottery apparatus is displayed to mean that an image, such as a capsule extracting mechanism that enables the user to use the item lottery service, is output through the user terminal.

At the same time, the item lottery system performs a step (S20) of displaying an information screen displaying information on the use of the item lottery service on a part of the item lottery service screen except for the portion where the item lottery apparatus is displayed.

The information screen is generally a screen on which a user uses the item lottery system and event information related to the item lottery system. The information screen is an item lottery service independently of the item lottery apparatus without overlaying the item lottery apparatus. It means a screen displayed on the use screen.

Thereafter, a step (S30) of detecting at least one usage input of the at least one item lottery apparatus from the user terminal for the one item lottery apparatus is performed.

As mentioned above, a plurality of item lottery devices may be simultaneously displayed on the item lottery service screen, and the user selects any one of the item lottery devices and inputs the use. The usage input refers to an input for drawing an item by clicking on a button marked as 'lottery' or the like in the item drawing device or by clicking a specific image to operate the item drawing device.

The usage input includes at least one drawing number. The user may make one draw with one click, but in the present invention, a plurality of draws may be made with one click, that is, use input. Similar to buying multiple items with a single click.

That is, in addition to the menu for using the input, the item lottery apparatus may display a menu for determining the number of draws to be included in the input. For example, if the default number of draws is set to 1, and the user wants to proceed with multiple item draws through one use input, the number of draws is set to 5. 10, etc. , Can use input.

In this case, through one use input, the system executes 5 or 10 item lotteries, and the result of each item lottery may be listed and displayed on a part of the user terminal. In addition, the items that are won every draw will be registered in the user's item database at once.

Thereafter, displaying information of at least one item determined to be won according to the use input, among the at least one item that can be won by any one item lottery device in which the use input is received, in the information screen displayed in step S20 ( S40) is performed.

When step S40 is performed, the system performs step S50 of adding the winning items to the user's own item database. This allows the user to hold at least one winning item according to the number of draws.

In operation S40, the pop-up screen is not displayed so that the information of the item determined to be won is overlaid on the item lottery apparatus, and is displayed in the information screen that is continuously displayed.

In this case, the information of the item judged to be displayed in the information screen includes information of at least one item determined to be won on one information screen for each item drawing result as many times as the number of draws included in one use input. Can be displayed. That is, as mentioned above, a single use input may include a plurality of lottery numbers, and the item lottery apparatus may derive the lottery result as many times as the lottery number.

When the number of winning results is drawn, there will be at least one item determined by the user in each winning result, so that at least one item determined to be won can be displayed on the information screen at once. have. That is, the items which are determined to be won on the information screen are displayed by being grouped by the use input unit.

Thus, the user can check the state of the item lottery apparatus, that is, the maximum number of times that the item lottery is possible until the item lottery apparatus is reset, and thus the item lottery can be performed immediately. Accordingly, by intuitively checking the item lottery service screen on one screen, the user's interest in using the item lottery service can be increased.

That is, on the information screen, when using the item lottery service, the user usually displays the usage guide and event information, and when the user inputs the use of the item lottery device using the item lottery service, the screen is displayed to display the result. Will be.

2 illustrates a flow after using an item lottery service, in accordance with an implementation of one embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, the description of the parts overlapping with those of FIG. 1 will be omitted.

In the present invention, the number of draws that can be drawn in each of the item lottery apparatuses is determined. The number of draws of the item lottery apparatus may mean, for example, a maximum number of draws of 500 times, and the number of times of notifying whether or not to win a premium item is determined therein.

Therefore, the user may check whether or not the item is won by spending the number of drawable draws. Accordingly, if the use input of the item lottery apparatus is detected from the user terminal (S30), the system displays information of the won item on the information screen according to whether the item is won (S40).

Representative high-grade items may be advertised as winning items, and other items may also be won in the item lottery apparatus. It is a concept similar to that in the lottery, there are winning ranks such as 2 to 5 in addition to winning first place. That is, there is a representative item that can be drawn in each item lottery apparatus, and at least one item other than the representative item exists as an item that can be won by the item lottery apparatus.

In the present invention, when the representative item is won, the item lottery apparatus is reset, and is reset to the initial number of possible lotteries (for example, 1000 times). When the user uses this item lottery apparatus, the number of draws is reduced, and the number of possible draws is reduced until the representative item is won again.

Accordingly, after the step S40, the system, the remaining available number of items per item lottery device, that is, at least one item lottery device, until the item lottery device is reset, that is, until the representative item is won, the remaining available lottery In operation S41, the information on the number of times may be displayed on a part of the display area of each item lottery apparatus.

That is, the users can check the item that they have won on the information screen, and can immediately check the remaining number of possible lotteries. As the remaining number of possible draws decreases, the user expects a high probability of winning the representative item, and accordingly, there is an effect of immediately inputting new usage.

3 illustrates a method of displaying information additionally represented in an item lottery apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, portions that overlap with the description of FIGS. 1 and 2 will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 3, first, in the present invention, ranking information is set for each item. Specifically, for items that can be won by the item lottery apparatus, ranking information is set for each item lottery apparatus. For example, if ten items can be won in one item lottery apparatus, each item may have ranking information set from 1 to 10. Even with the same item, the ranking information may be set differently according to the item drawing apparatus to which the item belongs.

The ranking information of an item is preset according to the effect of each item. For example, the manager terminal may set the ranking information of the item for each item device by comparing the effect of the item and performing setting input for placing the ranking information of the item, which is determined to be higher in value, at a higher level.

Alternatively, ranking information may be automatically set according to the selling price of the item. Since the item that can be won in the item lottery apparatus may be an item that can be won in the item shop, ranking information may be set according to the price at which the item is sold in the item shop.

The representative item referred to in FIG. 2 will mean, for each item lottery apparatus, an item set with the highest ranking information (for example, one ranking).

Since the ranking information may be set for each item, when setting the item lottery apparatus, the system receives a ranking information setting input for at least one item that can be won for each of the at least one item lottery apparatus from an administrator terminal or the like ( S11), and according to each item lottery device, predetermined ranking information may be set according to the effect of the item.

In this case, when the item lottery device is displayed on the item lottery service screen, the system may identify identification information of an item having the highest ranking information (for example, 1 ranking) among at least one item that can be won in each item lottery device. In operation S12, the representative item display screen provided in each item lottery apparatus may be displayed.

That is, when the user checks the item lottery device on the screen, it is possible to inspire users to use the item lottery device by checking which item is the most advanced item that can be won for each item lottery device. It works.

In the identification information of the item displayed on the representative item display screen of the item lottery apparatus, ranking information of the item, image information for identifying the item, text information, and the like may be displayed.

4 illustrates a flow for calculating and displaying the number of lottery items, in accordance with an implementation of one embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, portions overlapping with the description of FIGS. 1 to 3 will be omitted.

First, the system detects a use input of any one item lottery apparatus from the user terminal (S30).

In the present invention, in order to use the item lottery service, a lottery item or cyber money for using each item lottery apparatus is consumed. That is, the user may purchase, for example, a 'lottery coin' and the like in an item shop, and when one 'lottery coin' is used, a usage input having one draw number is performed. When a plurality of 'lottery coins' are used at a time, a usage input including a number of lotteries corresponding to the number of lottery coins will be performed.

Or, if 5000 cyber money is used for one draw, for example, cyber money means points in the game that can be obtained according to the performance of the game, the original number is drawn according to the number of draws selected by the user. In the cyber money, the cyber money corresponding to 5000 x (the number of lotteries) is subtracted, and a usage input including the number of the lotteries will be performed.

That is, if the use input is detected through the step S30, the lottery item or the cyber money should be subtracted. In the following description, the lottery items are representatively described. However, since the cyber money is also understood as one of the item contents, it should be interpreted that the lottery items include the meaning of cyber money.

That is, when the step S30 of detecting the use input is performed, the system first analyzes the use input to extract information on the number of times of the aforementioned number of draws included in the use input (S32).

On the other hand, in the present invention, the user can give free lottery opportunities at regular intervals (for example, 24 hours). This is because the user's access rate to the item lottery service screen can be increased. Users are paid for free once a day, for example, once a day, it is possible to use the item lottery using this.

Therefore, before step S32, the system may extract information on the number of free lottery numbers allocated to each user when receiving the use input (S31).

Subsequently, the number of free lottery items extracted from the sum of the number of free lottery items extracted by the predetermined number and the number of lottery items already held by the user is subtracted according to the use of the item lottery item. By subtracting the number, the number information of the lottery items held by the user is updated (S33).

That is, if the free lottery item paid to the user is a one-time lottery item, the number of lottery items is 15, and the user includes five draws in one use input, the lottery item of the updated user is The number is eleven.

If there is no free item possessed by the user, it will be obvious that the number of lottery items possessed by the user will be updated by subtracting the number of lottery items from the number of lottery items possessed by the user.

5 is a flowchart illustrating item information that can be won according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In an embodiment of the present invention, items that can be won are included for each of the at least one item lottery apparatus, and a screen for allowing the user to check them may be displayed.

Therefore, the system can display the item information display menu on a part of the area where the lottery apparatus is displayed for each item lottery apparatus (S13).

In this case, when a selection input for the item information display menu is received from the user terminal, the system may control to display a pop-up screen that lists and displays identification information of items that can be won for each item lottery apparatus (S14).

In this case, the system may analyze the ranking information set for each item as described above, and list and display the items in the order of high ranking.

By allowing the users to check the items they can obtain through the lottery in the above manner, there is an effect that can increase the utilization rate of the item lottery services of the users.

6 is a flowchart of an item lottery service management method according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, portions that overlap with the description of FIGS. 1 to 5 will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 6, in the method of managing an item lottery service according to another embodiment of the present invention, step S60 of first receiving at least one usage input of the item lottery device is performed.

Thereafter, the system extracts information on the number of draws included in the use input (S70), and performs an item draw on the number of draws (S80).

Each item lottery will have a certain probability of winning one of the at least one item that can be won in the item lottery apparatus. Accordingly, the system collects and analyzes at least one kind of item information which is determined to have been won for each item drawing by the number of draws among the at least one item that can be won by the item drawing device as a result of the item drawing. The step S90 of extracting ranking information preset for the item is performed. Since the ranking information is as mentioned above, the description thereof will be omitted.

When the step S90 is performed, on the screen displaying the winning item (for example, the information screen of FIG. 1), the information of at least one kind of item determined to be won is listed and displayed in the order of the highest ranking information ( S100).

Displaying information of at least one type of item in step S100, since the item determined to be won according to the result of the lottery for each item may be the same item, it will be understood to display the information of each type of item. will be. Alternatively, when the same item is won, a plurality of winning information may be displayed.

The information on the displayed item may be identification information for identifying a winning item including text and image content, and ranking information set for each item may also be included in the displayed item information. Accordingly, the user can check the grade of the item obtained by the user to check whether he or she picked a good item or a less frequent item, thereby increasing the motivation for the next lottery.

As mentioned in the description of FIGS. 1 to 5, the information of the item determined to be displayed at one time in the present invention is determined to be won for each item lottery execution result as many times as the number of lotteries included in one use input. The information of the used items can be displayed together.

Also, the item determined to be won may be registered in the user's own item database by the system.
