In the following description, the same constituent elements are given the same names and the same symbols for convenience of explanation.

The term used in the present invention is selected from general terms that are widely used at present. However, in some cases, some terms selected arbitrarily by the applicant, and in this case, the meaning is described in detail in the description of the relevant invention. The present invention should be understood as meaning with respect to a term other than a name.

The suffix "module" and " part "for the components used in the following description are given or mixed in consideration of ease of specification, and do not have their own meaning or role.

1 is a diagram illustrating a method of transmitting a user's emotion during a game according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, an image representing the user's emotions is activated in a terminal display on which a game is played (S110). In this specification, a game refers to a game that a plurality of users can play using a computer, a mobile device, or the like.

In the present invention, the terminal includes all of a computer equipped with a display, a mobile device (a mobile phone, a tablet PC), and the like. The image activation is a process of generating an emotion It means that you can choose the type and the degree. Accordingly, as the image is activated, at least two emotion menus are displayed around the activated image (S120).

In the first embodiment of the present invention, the at least two emotion menus are formed in a radial form centering on the image in the form of a bar or a pizza slice, and the opposite emotions (for example, pleasure, fun, and boredness) And is configured to be symmetrical. This allows the user to more intuitively select the type of emotion.

After the emotion selection menu is displayed on the basis of the image, a type of emotion is firstly selected according to a user selection signal for any of the two or more emotion menu displayed (S130). For example, an electrical signal generated according to a click signal of a touch or a mouse may be the user selection signal, and the user selection signal may occur at one point of the emotion selection menu.

According to the first selection, only the type of emotion is selected. According to the present invention, one point of the emotion selection menu where the user selection signal is generated (i.e., the display position where the user selection signal is generated) And the second degree of emotion is selected (S140).

That is, the present inventor configures the degree of emotion differently depending on the distance between the image and the selected position (for example, the touch position or the dragging end position in the case of the touch screen). For example, when it is desired to display a great number of angels, the user can touch the farthest point from the image among the angular menus, or select the greatest angel by clicking the mouse.

Thus, the method according to the present invention is particularly useful in a particularly fast-moving game environment, since the type and degree of emotion to be delivered can be selected at once by only one selection.

Thereafter, the image is changed according to the type of the first selected emotion and the degree of the second selected emotion (S150). In the first embodiment of the present invention, the degree of image change is determined according to the kind of the image change and the degree of the image change according to the degree of the emotion.

For example, when the type of emotion is pleasure, the image (character, picture) is changed in a smiling form, and when the degree of enjoyment is great, the image is laughed in a lighter form. In the present invention, the first selection and the second selection are concurrently performed as a single selection gesture of the user. As a result, it is possible to transmit the emotion effectively and quickly even in a fast-paced game situation.

Hereinafter, a game emotional expression method according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

2 to 7 are diagrams for explaining a game emotion expression method according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 2, an image 210 is activated on the terminal display where the game is played. Here, "activation" means that the emotion selection menu is displayed according to a user's operation gesture (e.g., touch, mouse click). For example, in the step of activating the image representing the emotion of the user, the image may be activated by a user's touch on the image or a shift to the center of the display by a dragging gesture.

Referring to FIG. 3, the emotion selection menu 220 is displayed in the form of a pizza slice in the form of a circle around the image according to the activation. Accordingly, the emotion selection menu constitutes one circular disc as a whole, and each emotion selection menu forms a slice of the circular disc.

The type of emotion corresponding to the slice is selected in accordance with an operation signal for selecting any one of the slices displayed on the display, and the types of emotions that are opposite to each other in the first embodiment of the present invention are symmetrically configured. Alternatively, however, the emotion selection menu may be displayed in a bar form, and so long as at least the emotion selection menu is displayed around the image, all of them belong to the scope of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, a menu 221 corresponding to joy may be touched or a mouse click gesture may be selected from among the emotion selection menu 220, and thus an image centered on the emotion selection menu 220 Character) is changed to a smiling expression.

Referring to FIG. 5, the degree of change of the image varies depending on the distance between the center image and the final selection point. In FIG. 5, as the distance increases, the image becomes smoother.

In FIG. 6, a form in which the emotion information corresponding to the point is displayed is displayed according to the distance point of the emotion selection menu. In this case, the user can effectively select his / her desired emotion information by touching or clicking on the corresponding point in advance.

7, an image changed according to the selected type and degree is transmitted to a game terminal of another user playing the game through a server or the like. Thus, the user can quickly convey the kind of the desired emotion and the degree of the desired emotion to other users with only one selection gesture (touch, dragging, mouse click).

For example, if the changed image is not reactivated, the changed image may be maintained in a changed state, and may be dragged and dropped on a character of another user playing the current game, so that the user's emotion may be transferred to the image. Alternatively, the image may be transmitted through an interactive screen displayed during the game. That is, as long as at least the changed image is transmitted to the terminal of another user, all of them belong to the scope of the present invention.

8 is a view showing the emotion selection menu according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, the center includes an emotion selection menu type, an image that changes according to a degree of emotion selected according to a distance between a selection signal generation point (for example, a touch point, a point at which a touch after dragging is released) Is displayed at the center, and a radial emotion selection menu is displayed around the image.

FIG. 9 is a view for explaining a process of simultaneously selecting an image and its degree using a selection gesture (for example, a touch) through the image and emotion selection menu shown in FIG.

The image may be a photograph such as a photograph of the user himself or herself. In this case, the most angry facial expression centered on the image can be matched to the anger menu, whereby the facial expression change between the normal facial expression and the most angular facial expression can be automatically changed, and the degree of emotional change according to the distance can be effectively selected. Thus, the image that is changed according to the emotion selection can be variably matched by the user.

Hereinabove, a user emotion delivery method in a game according to the first embodiment of the present invention, which can effectively determine and transmit emotion of a user even in a rapidly progressing game situation, has been described.
