DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following examples are intended to illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, equivalent inventions performing the same functions as the present invention are also 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 embodiments of the present invention, "communication "," communication network ", and "network" The three terms refer to wired and wireless local 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" means 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 the description thereof will be omitted in the present invention.

In the present invention, the online game refers to game contents that are accessible to users by connecting to 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 the game. It also means a game in which various kinds of items can be purchased in order to facilitate the progress of the game in the game.

Also, in an online game, various community systems can be used. For example, a guild of an online game, or a clan may be formed. The above concept means that users who use online games gather to form a group and organize a group. Depending on the number of users or the level of the characters of the users, each group can have a high reputation of a guild or a clan, so that various benefits within the game can be utilized. For example, if the reputation of a guild or a clan increases, the character's display on the game screen may vary (e.g., the effect of changing the color of the displayed character's name), or the use of items and villages within the game .

In the present invention, the social game is a kind of online game, and is a new type of social network-based game maximizing user participation and relationship in order to enhance the user's online personal relationship. Unlike ordinary online games, which are aimed at the game itself, it is aimed at increasing familiarity and homogeneity among users in the social network for users of all ages through an easy interface.

In addition, social games can have more diverse community systems than online games. This is because social games can be used regardless of time and place as smartphones and tablet PCs become popular. For example, if a user is not online but another user sends a message, requests a chat, or invites a user to a game, the user can check the message in real time through push notification or SMS / MMS service, You can participate.

In the present invention, the resultant content refers to all content that can be obtained by the characters of the play-out users during play of the game.

However, when participating in a party play or guild, clan, etc., at least a portion of the resulting content that they have acquired may be distributed to other users' characters belonging to the party, guild, clan, and the like.

1 is an overall schematic diagram of a system 100 for displaying a buddy record in a social network game (SNG) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

The mobile terminal may be implemented in various forms. The mobile terminal described in the present specification may be used in various applications such as a desktop computer, a mobile phone, a smart phone, a laptop computer, a digital broadcast terminal, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), a PMP (Portable Multimedia Player) Tablet PCs, MP3 players, digital cameras, and digital CE devices (Consumer Elctronics). Digital CE (Consumer Elctronics) devices may include DTV (Digital Television), IPTV (Internet Protocol Television), a refrigerator having a display device, and an air conditioner.

In addition, the online game may be an Aeon of Strife (RTS) game, a Real Time Strategy (RTS) game, a First / Third Person Shooters (FPS / TPS) game, a competitive game or a sports game.

Programs necessary for game implementation may be installed and executed in the mobile terminals 110 and 120. The mobile terminals 110 and 120 are implemented with a touch-drag function, and a game can be performed through a touch-drag function when an online game is performed.

The game server 140 according to an embodiment of the present invention receives friend information from each user in advance. Here, the friend may be stored in a list form for each user. In the friend list, friend record information such as a friend's character, a nickname, and a highest score which can be used in generating a ranking table in the course of a game is stored . In addition, the friend list may be a friend list in a social game, and a group of friend lists designated by the user may be possible. Such data is stored in the game server 140 or in a separate database and is stored and managed. In addition, the data may include the user's character, nickname, highest score, and the like.

When a SNG (Social Network Game) is executed in the terminals 110 and 120, a friend list stored in the user database is requested through the game server 140 and the user authentication process. The game server 140 can transmit a character, a nickname, and a highest score of a friend in the friend list to the user and display it on the terminal display screen, thereby enabling the friend record display in the SNG (Social Network Game). In addition, the highest score of the user can be transmitted to the user and displayed on the terminal display screen, and the highest user record can be displayed in the SNG (Social Network Game).

Accordingly, when a SNG (Social Network Game) is executed in the terminals 110 and 120, the user corresponds to the highest score of the friend provided from the game server 140 on the game screen in the game in progress according to the embodiment of the present invention The user can check the ranking of friends in real time even during the game progression, so that the user has a greater degree of game immersion in the social network game.

In addition, the game server 140 according to another embodiment of the present invention may provide a reward item to a user who runs a SNG (Social Network Game). 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 the SNG (Social Network Game), one item is consumed each time a game is played. Basically, the item can be created after a predetermined time designated as a default in the game server. That is, an item capable of starting a game, or an item capable of changing the appearance of a character, may correspond to items in the present invention. The item may be stored in the game server 140 or in a separate database, such as a friend list.

However, unlike the friend list list, the user can obtain an item only when the terminal satisfies a predetermined condition predetermined in the game server 140 even if the terminal requests the item. For example, the specific condition may include a method of acquiring an item in a conventional SNG (Social Network Game), an elapse of a predetermined time by default, a purchase by cyber money, or a gift to a friend.

 According to another embodiment of the present invention, when the user's real-time score reaches the highest score of a friend corresponding to the friend list transmitted from the game server 140 during the game of the SNG (Social Network Game) 140, < / RTI >

Further, in acquiring the reward item, when the highest score of the friend is reached and when the highest score of the user is reached, it can be obtained differentially. For example, the obtained item may be used by a user to play a social network game (SNG).

Therefore, according to another embodiment of the present invention, when a user plays a social network game, whenever a user's real-time score exceeds a friend's highest score, an item provided by the game server can be acquired, The user can be attracted to the game by increasing the utilization of the item in the social network game.

2 is a flowchart of a method of displaying a friend record in a SNG (Social Network Game) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Step S200 receives the highest score of the friend in the game standby mode of the social network game.

For example, if the social network game is to accumulate a tower, the height of the accumulated tower may be a real-time score obtained by the user, and if the social network game is a running of the user character , And the distance that the character runs may be a real-time score obtained by the user. In addition, the highest score may include the highest score of the user.

The highest scores of the friend or user may be stored in the game server 140 or in a separate database. The stored data may be received from the game server 140 or a separate database at the request of the mobile terminal as the user executes the game at the mobile terminal.

In addition, a friend may include people registered as a friend on a social network service (SNS) associated with providing the game. In addition, according to a request of the user, only the persons in the group specified among the friends can be included.

Step S210 determines whether the real-time score acquired by the user in the game progress mode of the social network game is close to the highest score.

For example, it can be determined that the difference between the real-time score obtained by the user and the highest score is within a value that is at least one of a default value and a user-specified value in the game server. For example, if the difference is designated as 100 points, it can be judged that the user is close to the real-time score acquired and the friend's highest score is less than 100 points.

In step S220, if the real time score is close to the highest score, the friend information icon corresponding to the highest score is displayed on the game screen.

For example, the friend information icon displayed on the game screen may include at least one of a nickname and an image corresponding to a friend. For example, when the friend information icon is superimposed on the character of the user, the friend information icon may be displayed in a transparent or semi-transparent state . Also, in the case of overlapping, the character of the user may be displayed prior to the friend information icon.

Also, the friend information icon may move in a direction opposite to the direction in which the real-time score increases. For example, if the social network game is a pileup of a user character, the friend information icon may move from top to bottom if the score is increasing as the blocks are stacked from bottom to top. In addition, when the user character is running the social network game, the friend information icon can move from right to left if the score increases when the character runs from left to right.

3 is a flowchart of a method for obtaining a reward item in a Social Network Game (SNG) according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Step S300 receives the highest score of the friend in the game standby mode of the social network game.

Step S310 determines whether the real-time score acquired by the user in the game progress mode of the social network game is close to the highest score.

If the real time score is close to the highest score, step S320 displays the friend information icon corresponding to the highest score on the game screen.

Step S330 provides a reward item in the social network game when the real time score reaches the highest score.

For example, if the social network game is a pileup of a user character, a reward item may be obtained if the height of the stacking tower exceeds a friend's highest score corresponding to the friend information icon. For example, the reward item may be used by the user to resume the game. You can spend reward items each time you play.

In addition, when the user character is running the social network game, the reward item can be obtained when the distance from the character exceeds the highest score of the friend corresponding to the friend information icon. For example, the reward item may have the ability to deal with an obstructing monster or obstacle when the user is running.

In addition, the reward item in the social network game can be differentially provided when the real time score obtained by the user reaches the highest score of the friend and when the user reaches the highest score. For example, the number and ability of the reward items can be set differentially.

4 is a diagram showing an example of displaying a friend record in the SNG (Social Network Game) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, a user character 200a, a real-time score 210a obtained by a user, and a friend information icon 220a are displayed on a display screen of a terminal running a SNG (Social Network Game) according to an embodiment of the present invention. ) Can be displayed together.

4, a terminal having a touch screen is shown as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The touch screen refers to an image forming apparatus capable of inputting commands in a manner that a user directly touches the screen without an input device (e.g., a mouse). The specific operation method of the touch screen will be apparent to those skilled in the art and will not be described below.

For example, if the social network game is to accumulate the top of the user character 200a, the height of the accumulated top may be the real-time score 210a that the user is acquiring. When the user character is moving at left and right intervals on the game screen, when the user touches a part of the game screen, the user character 200a can vertically drop a block held by the user character. If the blocks are piled up at a proper point on a block stacked like a tower on the lower side of the game screen, the height of stacking blocks increases and the real-time score 210a acquired by the user increases.

The information on the friend corresponding to the friend information icon that may be displayed together on the game screen may include a character, a nickname, a highest score, and the like for the friend registered as a friend by the user. Lt; / RTI > database. The friend information icon can be generated based on the stored information. In addition, the friend information icon displayed on the display of the terminal may include only a user registered as a friend as in a social game, a friend selected according to a random condition, or a friend meeting a predetermined condition.

The displayed friend information icon may include at least one of a nickname and an image corresponding to a friend, and the friend information icon displayed in FIG. 4 includes a nickname. The nickname may be a nickname of a friend stored in the user terminal.

In the game progress mode of the social network game, when the real time score acquired by the user is close to the highest score, the friend information icon corresponding to the highest score can be displayed on the game screen. For example, whether or not the real-time score is close to the received highest score may be determined by determining whether the difference between the real-time score acquired by the user and the highest score is at least one of a default value and a user- It can be determined that the value is within the range of the value.

Therefore, the friend information icon shown in FIG. 4 indicates friends having a maximum record near the real time score 150,210 obtained by the user. Also, since the direction in which the block moves upward is the direction in which the score increases, the higher the score on the game screen, the higher the score of the friend, and thus the higher the rank of the friend.

In addition, since the friend information icon can move in a direction opposite to the direction in which the real time score increases, for example, in the game screen shown in FIG. 4, the friend information icon can be moved in the south direction on the game screen.

In addition, although the right side of the display screen is shown as the location where the friend information icon is displayed, if the mobile terminal 110 and the mobile terminal 110 can be located anywhere, for example, vertically and horizontally, the mobile terminal 110 and 120 can be displayed differently depending on whether the mobile terminal 110 or 120 is tilted And may be displayed in consideration of the size of the display area of the user terminal.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of displaying the highest record of a user in a SNG (Social Network Game) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, information on a user who is playing the social network game may be stored in the game server 140 or in a separate database. The information about the user may include a highest score for the user.

Accordingly, the friend information icon 220b corresponding to the highest record for the user can be displayed on the game screen. For example, in order to distinguish from the friend information icon corresponding to the highest score of the friend, As 'my best score'. 5, since the friend information icon corresponding to the highest record for the user is located at a higher level than the real time score 477,000 obtained by the user in the current game, the highest score obtained since the user participated in the social network game , The score is higher than 477,000 points. Accordingly, the user can check not only the ranking of friends but also his / her highest score in real time in the progress of the game, so that the user engages in the social network game.

FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are views showing an example of displaying the friend information icon in the SNG (Social Network Game) superimposed on the game screen according to the embodiment of the present invention.

4 and 5 show an example in which the friend information icon is displayed on the right side of the game screen, that is, on the right side of the game screen. 6 and 7 illustrate an example in which the user displays the friend information icon at the center of the game screen during the game progress.

For example, when the friend information icon is displayed on the side of the game screen, the user who is in the process of playing the game proceeds while viewing the vicinity of the character of the user. Therefore, visibility of the friend information icon displayed on the side of the game screen is deteriorated .

Therefore, as shown in Fig. 6, the friend information icon can be superimposed and displayed in the vicinity of the user character, not on the side. In addition, in the case where it is displayed so as to overlap with a part of the user character, the friend information icon can be displayed transparently or semi-transparently as shown in Fig. 7 in order to secure the visibility of the user character.

8 and 9 illustrate an example of obtaining a reward item in a SNG (Social Network Game) according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figs. 8 and 9, the reference line 230 can be displayed in a game in which the score acquired by the user increases as the block to be dropped by the user character increases. The baseline is fixed on the screen, and the friend information icon is positioned on the reference line, so that the real time score obtained by the user at the position can be indicated as the highest score of the friend corresponding to the friend information icon.

In addition, the number of blocks accumulated during the game progression can be shown on the left side of the reference line. In FIG. 8, it is understood that fifteen blocks are stacked and the real-time score 210a obtained by the user is 150,210 points.

Also, since the friend information icon can move in a direction opposite to the direction in which the real-time score acquired by the user increases, the friend information icon can move from top to bottom as shown in FIG. The fact that the friend information icon that has been moved reaches the reference line 230 displayed on the game screen indicates that the highest score of the friend corresponding to the friend information icon is 150,210 points.

That is, if the real-time score obtained by dropping the block of the user exceeds the highest score of the friend corresponding to the friend information icon, the user has a higher score than the friend, .

Accordingly, according to another embodiment of the present invention, whenever a user exceeds a highest score of a friend, the reward item in the social network game can be obtained.

For example, FIG. 8 shows that one item 240a is acquired when the highest score of the friend is exceeded, and FIG. 9 shows that four items 240a when the highest score of the user is exceeded Respectively. That is, the reward item in the social network game can be differentially obtained when the real time score reaches the highest score of the friend and when the user reaches the highest score.

Therefore, according to another embodiment of the present invention, by allowing the user to acquire an item provided by the game server every time the user exceeds the highest score of a friend on a game screen on which a social network game is being played, In the course of the game, the user can be attracted to the game by increasing the utilization of the item.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of displaying a friend record as a friend's picture in a SNG (Social Network Game) different from the SNG (Social Network Game) shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, when the user character is running the social network game, the distance that the character runs may be a real time score obtained by the user. Therefore, the user character 200b moves from left to right on the game screen, and can calculate the real-time score 210b obtained by the user according to the movement distance.

As shown in Fig. 10, the friend information icon displayed near the user character may be displayed as a picture of a friend. There is an effect that the identification of the game information icon can be enhanced by displaying the friend's nickname as a friend's photograph.

11 is an example of displaying a friend information icon in a SNG (Social Network Game) different from the SNG (Social Network Game) shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 according to an embodiment of the present invention on a game screen in a superimposed manner Fig.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the friend information icon may be displayed so as to be superimposed on the background of the game screen or the character of the user. In the case of overlapping display, the character of the user currently playing the game is more important than the friend information icon If it is judged, the character of the user can be displayed prior to the friend information icon as shown in Fig.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of obtaining a reward item in a SNG (Social Network Game) different from the SNG (Social Network Game) shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 12, when the user character overlaps with the friend information icon, the real time score obtained by the user indicates that the friend has reached the highest score. Accordingly, in FIG. 12, it can be seen that the highest score of the friend corresponding to the friend information icon is 139 points obtained in real time by the user character, and accordingly, the user in the current game is higher than the friend corresponding to the friend information icon You can see that you can get scores.

Accordingly, according to another embodiment of the present invention, whenever the user exceeds the highest score of the friend, the reward item 240b in the social network game can be obtained. For example, the reward item may be a means for defeating a monster when playing a social network game.
