Description

Item price setting method and system {METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SETTING PRICE OF ITEM}

The present invention relates to a technology for controlling the trading of items using in-game cyber money among users on an online game, and specifically, by limiting the range of sales price that can be set for the item, cyber money It relates to technology for preventing the illegal transfer of goods and the illegal transfer of cyber money.

Recently, the number of users playing online games is increasing rapidly. With the development of graphics and program technology, online games are becoming increasingly diverse, and the content available to users accessing online games is also increasing.

In online games, users can grow their character to compete with others, play cooperatively, and use various items to grow or decorate the character. Users can use or hold items that are superior to others to speed up the growth of the character or to give them an edge over other people.

In the online game, as mentioned above, there are various kinds of items that can be used or mounted for users' game play, and these items are obtained through game play, through an item shop on game content, and There are many ways to get through transactions between supported users.

In addition, in the online game, there is a cyber money used for item trading with various items. Cyber money can be purchased at game sites or as a reward in game play. Users can purchase various items through cyber money.

The importance of items and cyber money is very important in online games. This is because it is very important, as mentioned above, to grow a character or to gain an advantage in competition with other users.

As a result, the act of illegally exchanging cyber money is increasing due to the increase in the number of users of online games. For example, more and more acts of giving cash and buying cyber money.

Accordingly, in order to prevent the above behaviors, the server operating a specific online game intends to prevent such behaviors by fundamentally prohibiting the exchange of cyber money between users. The need for new methods is increasing.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to prevent illegal transactions of cyber money and enable the play of sound games.

In order to achieve the above object, the item transaction price setting method according to an embodiment of the present invention, from the item trading server receives information about the price that the item that can be traded on the online game traded between users, Setting a transaction price for the item; receiving fee rate information of a price range to which the transaction price information belongs, among the fee rate information charged according to a transaction price during item trading, and using the transaction price and the fee rate information, And setting an upper limit price and a lower limit price of a sale price that a user can set when trading.

The setting of the trading price may include collecting price information on which the item is traded among users for a preset period of time, and setting an average value of the price information as a trading price for the item. Do.

At least one grade exists for the same item, and the setting of the trading price may include a trading price for a basic price of the item, which is less than a preset error range, when there are no transactions for the item. It is preferable to set the trading price set for the same level as the class of the item as the trading price of the item among the trading price for each grade set for the other item set as the trading price of the basic class.

The setting of the upper limit price and the lower limit price may include setting an upper and lower limit ratios for transaction quotes set in the item, and setting a value obtained by increasing the transaction quotes by the upper and lower limit ratios as the upper limit value, and setting the transaction quotes as the upper and lower limit rates. It is preferred to include the step of setting the value reduced by the lower limit.

In setting the upper and lower limits, it is preferable to set different upper and lower limits for at least one of the type, version, and grade of the item.

In the step of setting the upper limit and the lower limit, it is preferable to set the upper limit and the lower limit so that a value obtained by reducing the upper limit by the fee rate is less than the lower limit.

The setting of the trading price may include loading a trading price set for at least one level existing for each basic version item for each item when setting the trading price of an item of another version of the same item. Calculating a multiplier of the trade quotes of the other grades except the base grade for the trade quotes of the item of the base grade of the at least one grade of and the trade quotes of the item of the base grade of the other version, Preferably, the value multiplied by the respective magnification for the grades comprises setting each grade of the different version of the item to a trading quote.

The setting of the transaction price may include: whether the number of transactions of a user having a specific address for one item exceeds one, and whether the price of selling the single item and the price of the purchased price exceed a threshold deviation. It is desirable to judge.

The setting of the transaction price may include: more than one transaction number of a user having a specific address with respect to the one item, and a deviation between a price for selling the one item and a purchased price exceeds a threshold deviation. In this case, it is preferable to set the average value of the remaining transaction price information except the transaction price information of the user having the specific address as the transaction price.

The system for setting an item transaction price according to an embodiment of the present invention receives information about a price that an item tradeable on an online game trades among users from an item transaction server, and uses the transaction price for the item using the same. A transaction information setting unit configured to set a fee information receiving unit for receiving fee rate information of a price range to which the transaction price information belongs among the transaction rate information charged when the item is traded between the users and the transaction price and the fee rate information By using, it characterized in that it comprises a high and low limit setting unit for setting the upper and lower limits of the selling price that can be set by the user during the transaction for the item.

The transaction price setting unit may collect price information on which the item is traded among users for a predetermined period, and set an average value of the price information as a transaction price for the item.

It is preferred that there is at least one grade, including the base grade, for the same item.

The transaction price setting unit, if there is no number of transactions for the item, the transaction price for the basic price of the item and the transaction price that is less than a predetermined error range, for each level set for other items set as the transaction price of the basic level It is preferable to set the trading quote set for the same grade as the rank of the item among the trade quotes as the trade quote of the item.

The upper and lower limit price setting unit may set an upper and lower limit ratio for the item, and set a value obtained by increasing the transaction price by the upper and lower limit ratios to the upper limit value and a value that decreases the transaction price by the upper and lower limit ratios as the lower limit price. Do.

Preferably, the upper and lower limit setting units set different upper and lower limits for at least one of the type, version, and grade of the item.

It is preferable that the said upper limit and lower limit set part sets the said upper limit and the lower limit so that the value which reduced the said upper limit by the said fee rate may become a value less than the said lower limit.

In the setting of the trading price of the item of the different version of the same item, the price setting unit loads the trading prices set for each of the at least one level existing for each basic version item for each item, Multiplying each of the trade prices of other grades except the base grade with respect to the trade price of the item of the base grade among at least one grade, so as to trade the price of the item of the base grade of the different version, It is preferable to set the value of the product multiplied by each multiplier for each grade of the different version of the item as a trading quote.

The transaction price setting unit determines whether the number of transactions of a user having a specific address with respect to one item exceeds one, and whether the price of selling the single item and the price of the purchased price exceed a threshold deviation. desirable.

The transaction price setting unit, when the number of transactions of the user having a specific address for the one item is more than one, the price of selling the one item, and the deviation of the purchased price exceeds the threshold deviation, the It is preferable to set the average value of the remaining transaction price information except the transaction price information of the user having a specific address as the transaction price.

According to the present invention, the upper limit price and the lower limit price are determined according to the fee rate, and therefore, when buying and selling the same item, the trader can lose all cyber money between traders. It can block the action, there is an effect that can lead to the use of a healthy game.

Hereinafter, a method and a system for setting an item transaction price according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the following description, in order to clarify the understanding of the present invention, description of well-known technology for the features of the present invention will be omitted. The following embodiments are detailed description to help understand the present invention, and it should be understood that the present invention is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent inventions that perform the same functions as the present invention will also fall within the scope of the present invention.

In the following description, the same reference numerals denote the same components, and unnecessary redundant explanations and descriptions of known technologies will be omitted.

In the embodiment of the present invention, "communication", "communication network" and "network" may be used as the same meaning. The three terms refer to wired and wireless local area and wide area data transmission and reception networks capable of transmitting and receiving a file between a user terminal, a terminal of another user, and a download server.

In the following description, the term "game server" refers to a server computer to which users are connected and connected to use game contents. In the case of a game having a small capacity or a small number of users, a plurality of game programs can be operated in one game server. In addition, in the case of a game having a very large capacity or a large number of real-time connections, there may be one or more game servers for operating one game depending on the functions of the game.

In addition, middleware for the database and servers performing payment processing can be connected to the game server, but a description thereof will be omitted in the present invention.

In the present invention, the online game means game content that can be used by users by accessing the above-mentioned game server. Particularly, it means a game in which a plurality of users can simultaneously access and enjoy the game, and the level is raised through an act of acquiring experience while fostering a character by advancing a game. In addition, in order to facilitate the progress of the game on the game, it means a game that can purchase a variety of items.

An item here refers to all the data that can help the progress of the game and can be understood as an item in a game in general. For example, in a role-playing game, an item that allows a character to substitute for a user to obtain more experience value obtained when a monster is suppressed, an item that can change the appearance of a character, etc. correspond to an item can do.

In addition, in sports games, card items that can use the character, items that increase the character's stats for a certain period of time, items that restore the character's condition, and the character's ability to improve the game's stats while modifying the appearance As mentioned above in the game, such as giving items, all items that can be used by the character in the progress of the game, or that can be reflected on the game by the user on the web, will belong to the items in the present invention.

Also, in the present invention, the item may be rated at least one version and at least one rating. That is, even if an item of the same name, for example, the version of the item to suit the particular event, such as the 'Chuseok commemorative version', 'World Cup version', for example, the size and type of the effect of the item may vary . For example, a card item that can be used by a player in a sports game may be an item that can be used by default in the general version. In contrast, if a card item of the 'World Cup version' exists, The stats may have higher stats than the regular version.

In addition, there may be a rating of an item. In general, in an role playing game or a sports game, an effect of an item may be greatly increased through an action of calling the same item as 'enhancement' or 'smelting'. In general, role-playing games can be strengthened by using gems or reinforcing materials on items that a character can equip, and a grade change mark such as '+1' is added to the item's name.

Items with a higher grade have a greater effect than the items of the basic grade, so that the price is also greatly increased. In the present invention, the description of the version and the grade of the above-mentioned items will be equally applied in the following description.

In the present invention, a transaction between users for an item is a cyber money between users through an item auction house or an item transaction interface provided between the users for items available in an online game as mentioned above. And the act of exchanging items.

In a transaction between users of an item, in a transaction window provided by game content, a user who wants to sell the item puts the item on the transaction window, and a user who wants to buy the item has the price of the item negotiated among the users. The cyber money corresponding to the transaction is placed in the transaction window.

In the present invention, there is an upper limit and a lower limit on the price that can be negotiated among the users about the item. In the present invention, the price of the item may be expressed as a positive integer. Therefore, the upper limit means the highest selling price that the user can set, and the lower limit means the lowest selling price.

Therefore, when users buy and sell items between users, the user may set a price between the upper limit price and the lower limit price to induce a transaction of the item. When an item is traded through an auction, you can use the menu 'Buy Now'. The original auction refers to a system in which a plurality of users bid a purchase price for an item to be sold for a predetermined time, so that the item is sold to the successful user.

However, if the menu of 'buy immediately' is used, the purchase price can be purchased regardless of the auction when paying the price at the time of purchase. Usually, the price that can be purchased directly can be set higher than the upper limit.

However, in abusing an auction system or an item trading system, when an item is sold at an upper limit and then bought again at the lower limit, cyber money may be traded as much as the profit of the upper limit and the lower limit excluding fees. Paying cash and trading cyber money through item trading occurs. The present invention proposes a technique for blocking such a phenomenon in advance.

1 is a flowchart of a method of setting an item transaction price according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, in the method of setting an item transaction price according to an embodiment of the present invention, first, a transaction price between users for an item is set (S10).

The transaction quote between users refers to a reference price set for an item when the item is traded between users. In the present invention, the item is traded within a predetermined time (for example, 24 hours) among users for the item. The average value of the transaction price may be set as the transaction price. Alternatively, a transaction price in which the number of transactions is detected among the transaction prices may be set as a transaction price.

In the present invention, since the transaction upper limit price and the lower limit price of the item are determined according to the transaction price, the transaction price of the current cycle is set as a result of analyzing the transaction price of the previous cycle (for example, from 0 to 24 hours on the previous day). Therefore, in order to determine the trading price, the user analyzes the transaction history for the item in the entire cycle (for example, 1 day ago), and sets the trading price by extracting the trading price.

If the transaction price is set by the step S10, step S20 of receiving fee rate information set for the item transaction is performed.

The commission rate means a certain amount of money that the game server takes when the items are traded between users. For example, if a user who sells an item decides to sell the item for 10000 cyber money and receives 10000 cyber money from another user, the game server deducts a commission rate (for example, 10%) set by the selling price of the item. A 9000 cyber money is paid to the user who sold the item.

In the present invention, the commission rate may be a value less than the maximum commission rate (eg 40%), the maximum commission rate is the same rate applied if the transaction price results in a predetermined threshold transaction price (eg 1000000 cyber money) Means. If an item is traded between users below a predetermined threshold transaction price, the deductible fee rate is applied according to the price range. Of course, for other threshold transaction prices (eg 1000 cyber money), the minimum fee rate (eg 10%) may also be set equally.

For example, in the case where it is determined that the transaction is performed at 100,000 cyber money less than the threshold transaction price, it is determined which price range is set by the item trading system, and the fee rate set at the price range to which the 100,000 cyber money belongs is applied. .

In the following description, transaction prices, average values, transaction prices, etc. refer to prices as viewed from the buyer's point of view, where no commission rate is applied.

Since the trading price for the item is determined by the step S10, it is determined which price range the trading price for the item belongs to by the item trading system, and the fee rate set for the price range to which the trading price belongs is determined in step S20. Is received.

When the information on the transaction price and the fee rate is received, using the transaction price and the fee rate information, the step of setting the upper and lower limits of the selling price that can be set by the user at the time of trading on the item is performed (S30).

As mentioned above, the illegal transaction of cyber money through item trading is a abuse of the commission rate and the upper and lower limit system, so if a transaction upper and lower limit of a certain range is set according to the transaction rate and the transaction rate, If both the seller of the cyber money and the user of the buyer loses the result of the item transaction, they will not be able to trade the cyber money. 2 to 6, an example of a method of determining an upper limit price and a lower limit value and a method of determining a transaction price will be described in detail.

Figure 2 shows an example of determining the upper limit and the lower limit for the implementation of an embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, a description overlapping with the description of FIG. 1 will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 2, first, the transaction prices and the fee rate information are extracted (S10 and S20).

Subsequently, in order to disable the transaction of the cyber money as mentioned above, the step of setting the upper limit and the lower limit so that a value obtained by subtracting the amount of the commission rate from the upper limit of the item sale is less than the lower limit is performed (S30). do.

In other words, since the money is reduced by the commission rate from the upper limit to the cyber money purchaser, the cyber money is traded in such a way that the price of the lower limit is paid from the cyber money purchaser. If the value is less than the lower limit, cyber money will be impossible to trade.

In this way, it will be possible to block illegal transactions of cyber money through the transaction of items.

As mentioned above, in order to prevent illegal transactions of cyber money, the error of the upper and lower limits should be small. However, when the difference between the upper and lower limits becomes too narrow, it may be inconvenient even for general users, and therefore, the upper and lower limits should be set within a range that does not harm the existing general transactions. That is, the description of FIG. 2 should be understood as a description of an embodiment that can block the transaction of cyber money in principle.

Figure 3 illustrates a flow of setting the trading price according to the number of item trading for the implementation of one embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, portions that overlap with the description of FIGS. 1 and 2 will be omitted.

3 is an example of a method of obtaining a trading price indirectly when there is no transaction number for an item and thus it is impossible to determine a trading price.

As mentioned above, the item in the present invention will include at least one rating by way of 'enhancing' the same item. In general, an item whose level is a basic grade because it is not strengthened has a higher number of transactions than the number of transactions of an item that is not a basic grade. This is because a certain amount of cyber money or reinforcement auxiliary items are consumed in order to reinforce the rating of the item, and a system in which reinforcement has a probability of success is generally applied. In particular, the higher the rank, the more cyber money or reinforcement auxiliary items are consumed, and the probability of success of reinforcement is also reduced. This is to increase the rare value of high-rank items to increase the user's interest in using the game.

Thus, in the case of a high grade item, a transaction may not be made between users for a predetermined period of time (for example, from 0 o'clock to 24 o'clock of the previous day). Therefore, there may be a case in which a trading price for a high grade item cannot also be set. In addition, in the case of a high-grade item, the number of existence itself is small, so that the transaction price registered in the auction system or the item trading system may be registered too cheaply or too expensive.

In the present invention, even if there is no transaction number of such an item, it is necessary to set a trade price and block the cyber money through the trading of high-grade items. Therefore, the same method as in the embodiment of FIG. 3 is used.

That is, in FIG. 3, first, transaction price information between users of the entire period of the item is collected (S11). Thereafter, a step S12 of determining whether there is a transaction number for the item is performed.

If it is determined that the number of transactions (number) exists, step S13 of setting the average transaction price of the registered transaction price for each transaction number as the transaction price of the corresponding item is performed.

If it is determined that the number of transactions does not exist in step S12, after analyzing the transaction price information for the base class of the item, the selling price for the base class is similar within an error range (for example, within 1%). Among the transaction price information of another item, step S14 of setting transaction price information of the same grade as that of the item to be set as the transaction price of the corresponding item is performed.

That is, an item that has a high rating and may not have a number of transactions, first analyzes the selling price information or the trading price for the basic rating of the item, and the price information or the trading price is in an error range (for example, 1%). Select another item of a similar basic class within, and set the trading price set for the class of the item of the selected item as the trading price of the item.

Through this, it is possible to directly or indirectly set the transaction price for all classes of all items, the upper and lower prices can also be set, there is an effect that can remove the kind of items that can be used in the trading of cyber money.

Figure 4 shows another example of determining the upper and lower limits for the 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.

1 and 2, in setting the upper limit price and the lower limit price, the upper limit price and the lower limit price may be separately set according to the transaction price. Can also be set.

In FIG. 4, in setting an upper limit price and a lower limit price, a step S32 of differently setting an upper and lower limit ratio (n, unit is%) for each version, type, and grade of the item is performed through the transaction price and the fee rate.

As mentioned above, the upper limit value and the lower limit value may be set differently according to at least one of the type, version, and grade of the item. That is, in the description of FIG. 1, the upper limit price and the lower limit price are set according to the commission rate and the transaction price. However, as mentioned above, the upper limit price and the lower limit price setting ratio may affect general users' transactions.

For example, for items with less illegal transactions of cyber money using items, it is necessary to expand the upper and lower limits to facilitate the transactions of general users, and the illegal transactions of cyber money exist or illegal transactions are frequently made. Regarding the items, it is necessary to narrow the upper and lower limits to actively prevent cyber money from being traded.

The item may be set differently according to the type, version or rating of the item, and also because the probability of being used in the transaction of the cyber money is also different, according to the present invention, the upper and lower limits may be set differently according to the item type, version or rating. It is.

The upper and lower limit ratio n is a ratio value set without setting the upper and lower limit values separately. Using the upper and lower ratio, the upper limit is set to the value of the transaction price (1 + n%), which increases the transaction price by the upper and lower limit ratio, and the lower limit is set to the value of the transaction price (1-n%), which is decreased by the upper and lower limit rates. (S33).

That is, since the value increased or decreased by a certain ratio based on the transaction price is set to the upper limit price and the lower limit price, the upper limit price and the lower limit price are different from the reference price by the same price. Of course, in another embodiment of the present invention, the difference between the upper and lower reference prices may vary.

FIG. 5 illustrates an example of setting trading quotes for different versions of a homogeneous item for implementation of one embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, portions overlapping with the description of FIGS. 1 to 4 will be omitted.

In the present invention, as mentioned above, even the same item may have different versions corresponding to specific events. Thus, similar to the description of FIG. 3, it is possible to easily calculate the trading price for another version item using the trading price for the basic version item of one item. Through the embodiment of Figure 5, in order to set the transaction price of a plurality of items, without having to analyze the details of the transaction price for all versions, the transaction price for all versions through the basic price and the simple price calculation Can be set. In addition, even if the transaction number of the item for a particular version does not exist, it is possible to easily set the transaction price.

Referring to FIG. 5, first, a transaction price Pi of each grade of a basic version item is received (S15). Where P is the trading quote and i is the rating.

Subsequently, information about Ni, which is a magnification for each grade, with respect to the transaction price P1 of the basic grade of the basic version item is calculated (S16). N is the ratio and i likewise means rating.

Thereafter, the transaction price for each grade of the item of another version of the same item is calculated through the following equation (S17).

[Equation 1]

Pni = Ni * Pn1

(Pni: Trade price of item i of grade n with version n, Pn1: Transaction price of item of basic grade n with version, Ni: Multiplier of base grade of grade n)

Through this, the transaction price for each grade of the item of the different version of the same item can be easily calculated, thereby reducing the number of analysis unnecessary to set the transaction price.

Figure 6 illustrates a flow for establishing transaction quotes for implementation of one embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, portions overlapping with the description of FIGS. 1 to 5 will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 6, first, a step (S11) of collecting transaction price information between users for a predetermined period of time (for example, from 0 o'clock to 24 o'clock of the previous day) for an item is performed.

At this time, the server performs the step (S111) of determining whether the number of transactions by the user of a specific address for an item exceeds one. The number of transactions determined in S111 refers to the number of transactions including both sales and purchases. For example, when one item is sold once and purchased once, the number of transactions is twice.

If it is determined by step S111 that the value exceeds 1, the deviation between the price at which the user of the specific address sells the item and the price purchased is a threshold deviation (e.g., more than three times the deviation of the calculated average prices). It is determined whether or not to exceed (S112).

In steps S111 and S112, it is determined whether a user by a specific address has traded an item for the purpose of trading cyber money. If one of the steps S111 and S112 is not satisfied, the user determines that the cyber money has not been traded and includes price information at the time of the user's transaction in calculating the average transaction price.

However, if there is a user with a specific address (for example, an IP address or ID) that satisfies both S111 and S112, the transaction price information of the item collected at the specific address is excluded in calculating the average transaction price. (S113).

Thereafter, step S114 of setting the average value of the collected price information as the transaction price is performed.

With reference to FIG. 6, since only normal item transactions are applied when setting transaction prices, accurate transaction prices may be identified.

7 is an example of a data structure for determining an upper limit value and a lower limit value for each item according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, portions that overlap with the description of FIGS. 1 to 6 will be omitted. 7 will also be understood to illustrate the data structure for illustration.

Referring to FIG. 7, there is a development table 1000 of upper and lower limit ratios, and information about the serial number 1100 is displayed in the table 1000. The serial number is information such as an index for determining which table the item's transaction price belongs to.

Information about version 1200 also exists. Character information about a version displayed on the user terminal is displayed as a number in the table 1000, and each number is information for identifying a version.

The information on the transaction price section 1300 is information used to determine which price range the set transaction price belongs to.

According to the version 1200 and the trading quote interval 1300, it is determined whether the upper and lower limit ratios of the items for which the trading quote is set are set.

When the upper and lower limit ratio information is set for each grade, the grade information 1400 is first displayed, and the magnification information 1410 and the upper and lower limit ratio information 1420 are displayed. As for the grade information 1400, the basic grade is +1, and the grade information 1400 is also increased by one every time the grade is raised. In the present invention, the basic grade is not displayed, but the upper and lower ratios of the basic grade may be set in the table 1000 as a matter of course.

The magnification information 1410 displays information on the magnification Ni mentioned in the description of FIG. 5. Magnification has rational units. The magnification allows you to know the trading price.

The upper and lower limit ratio information 1420 displays information indicating the upper and lower limit ratios in rational units. The upper limit is set by increasing the transaction price by the upper and lower limit ratios, and the lower limit is set by decreasing the transaction price by the upper and lower limit ratios.

Of course, although not shown in FIG. 7, the table 1000 may also include fee rate information of each item.

8 illustrates an example of determining an upper limit value and a lower limit value of an item according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, using the table 1000 shown in FIG. 7, an upper limit value and a lower limit value for item A may be calculated.

First, the average transaction price information 1500 of the entire period, which is the preset period for the item A, is displayed. The average transaction price information will be set as the transaction price of item A, and the table 1000 sets the upper and lower limit ratios according to the serial numbers through the version and the transaction price.

Referring to the upper and lower limit ratio information 1600, the upper and lower limit ratios for the item A are set to 0.5 (that is, 50%). Therefore, the upper limit value and the lower limit value information 1700 indicate that the calculation result upper limit value is 2135 and the lower limit value is determined as cyber money of 712.

Figure 9 illustrates an example of the effect that the transaction of the cyber money is blocked in accordance with the implementation of one embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to the information 2100 of the item I 2000, the transaction price is set at 869565 cyber money, the upper and lower limit is 15%, and the commission is set at 28%.

At this time, if the user A 2200 and the user B 2230 attempts to trade cyber money through the item, the user A 2200 first sells the item to the user B 2230 at the upper limit. According to the information 2100 for the item I 2000, the upper limit will be 1000000 cyber money, and as a result of applying the commission rate, the item I 2000 is traded by the upper limit so that the user A 2200 obtains 720,000 cyber money. User B 2230 loses 1000000 cyber money (S100).

Thereafter, the item A 2000 is purchased by the user A 2200 at the lower limit again (S200). In this case, the lower limit of the item I 2000 is the calculation result 739130 cyber money, so that the user A 2200 loses the 739130 cyber money, and the user B 2230 obtains the 532174 cyber money by applying a fee rate.

As a result, user A 2200 loses a total of 19130 cyber money, and user B 2230 loses 467826 cyber money, so that no cyber money is transferred to any user. As a result, their cyber money trading becomes impossible.
