The display module 110 may display a puzzle screen on the user terminal 200. In addition, the display module 110 can display a plurality of blocks arranged in a two-dimensional array on the puzzle screen. Where the block may refer to an individual discrete graphics object that a user may select on the puzzle game screen displayed on the user terminal 200. [

Meanwhile, a part of the plurality of blocks displayed on the puzzle screen may be an attribute conversion block, and the remaining blocks excluding the attribute conversion block may be an attribute block having at least one of a plurality of attributes set in advance. That is, a certain number of attributes may be predefined in the puzzle game according to an embodiment of the present invention. Meanwhile, the attribute block may mean a block that has at least one of a plurality of attributes set in advance and can be connected to an adjacent attribute block or an adjacent attribute conversion block having the same attribute, and the attribute conversion block may include an adjacent attribute block And may also be connected to other adjacent attribute conversion blocks).

Meanwhile, according to the embodiment, the puzzle game providing system 100 may be configured such that all attribute blocks have one attribute. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in some implementations, at least some attribute blocks may be set to have two or more attributes.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, an attribute block, an attribute conversion block, and a puzzle screen in which these are displayed will be described in detail. FIGS. 2A and 2B are views showing an example of a puzzle screen displayed by the display module 110. FIG. In particular, FIG. 2A shows an example in which all blocks are attribute blocks, and FIG. 2B shows an example in which some blocks are attribute change blocks and the remaining blocks are attribute blocks.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the puzzle screen 300 may include a plurality of blocks arranged in a lattice shape (i.e., in the form of a two-dimensional array). Further, each block may be arranged in a grid-like space of a rectangular shape.

Meanwhile, the display module 110 may display adjacent blocks (for example, 303 and 306) apart from each other at a predetermined interval as shown in FIG. 2A, May be displayed in close contact with each other.

As described above, an attribute block, which is part of each block appearing in the puzzle screen 300 displayed on the user terminal 200, can have at least one of a plurality of attributes set in advance. In one embodiment, the display module 110 may display each block having an external feature corresponding to an attribute of the corresponding block so that the user can easily grasp the attribute of each block. Depending on the implementation, the outline features for each attribute may be color, shape, or a combination thereof. For example, the attributes of each block may be represented by a particular shape, color, or combination thereof. Accordingly, blocks having the same color and / or shape among the blocks appearing on the puzzle screen 300 may have the same property.

FIG. 2A shows an example of specifying an external feature by hue. That is, in the example of FIG. 2A, blocks 301, 302, 303, 303, 304, and 305 having different colors have different attributes from each other, Blocks 307 and 308, which are somewhat different in shape but have a color of yellow, may be attribute blocks having the same attributes.

On the other hand, in the present specification, the same color does not mean physically the same. If a person can judge that the colors of two blocks belong to the same kind (for example, blue series), if two blocks have the same tone, then most of the areas occupying the two blocks have the same color If it is filled, the color of the two blocks can be regarded as the same.

On the other hand, in the case of an embodiment in which some of the blocks appearing on the puzzle screen can have at least two attributes, the display module 110 determines whether the multi-attribute block having a plurality of attributes is an external By expressing all the features, it is possible for the user to grasp all the attributes of the block.

Meanwhile, since the display module 110 can display at least one attribute conversion block on the puzzle screen 300, the display module 110 may display at least one of attribute blocks shown in the puzzle screen 300 To an attribute conversion block.

In one embodiment, the display module 110 may set all the blocks as attribute blocks and display them on the puzzle screen 300, as shown in FIG. 2A. Then, the display module 110 may convert some of the displayed plurality of attribute blocks into attribute conversion blocks and finally display the puzzle screen 300 as shown in FIG. 2B on the user terminal 200.

FIG. 2B shows an example of converting the blocks 306, 307 and 308 included in the puzzle screen 300 shown in FIG. 2A into the attribute conversion blocks 309-1 to 309-3.

The display module 110 may display the attribute block so that the attribute conversion block has an external characteristic different from that of the attribute block having any attribute. For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, the display module 110 allows the attribute conversion blocks 309-1 through 309-3 to have a white or transparent effect so that the user can easily recognize that the corresponding block is an attribute conversion block .

Meanwhile, the display module 110 may randomly select an attribute block to be converted to an attribute conversion block at a later time, but may determine an attribute block to be converted into an attribute conversion block by applying a predetermined rule. On the other hand, the number of blocks to be converted into the attribute conversion block (hereinafter, referred to as 'conversion number') may be a predetermined fixed number (for example, 3).

2A, in order to convert a predetermined number of transformed blocks among a plurality of attribute blocks displayed in the puzzle screen 300 as shown in FIG. 2A into an attribute conversion block, May be repeatedly performed as many times as the number of conversions.

In addition, the display module 110 may calculate the conversion priority of the calculation target block for each of the calculation target blocks that are the plurality of attribute blocks displayed on the puzzle screen 300, in order to perform each conversion process , And the calculated block with the highest conversion priority can be converted into the attribute conversion block.

The display module (110) calculates, for each of the plurality of attributes, the number of blocks for each property, which is the number of blocks having the attribute among the blocks adjacent to the calculation subject block, in order to calculate the conversion priority of the calculation subject block It can be judged. The display module 110 may further include a minimum attribute that is an attribute having the smallest number of blocks per attribute, a minimum number that is the number of blocks having the minimum attribute among the blocks adjacent to the object block, A number of adjacent attributes that are the number of attribute types possessed by the control module, and the number of iterations that the control module removed from the puzzle screen after the calculation target block is displayed on the puzzle screen. In addition, when the block already converted into the attribute conversion block already exists among the plurality of attribute blocks, the display module 110 determines whether the block having the block closest to the calculation target block, And the shortest distance that is the distance between the block to be calculated and the block to be calculated.

Then, the display module 110 can calculate the conversion priority of the calculation target block based on the minimum number, the number of adjacent attributes, the number of iterations, and the shortest distance. For example, the display module 110 may determine whether the minimum number, the number of adjacent attributes, the number of iterations and / or the weighted value of the minimum distance and / or the minimum number, The conversion priority of the block to be calculated can be calculated using the number of times of execution and / or the value calculated by the shortest distance.

Below is a representation of the above example in pseudo code.

The display module 110 may display the distance from the center of the puzzle screen 300 (for example, the upper end of the block 307 or the lower end of the block 306) to the corresponding property block An attribute block to be converted into an attribute conversion block in consideration of the number of blocks of other attributes adjacent to the attribute block, the number of blocks included in the block chain that can be connected for the longest when the attribute block is converted into the attribute conversion block, Can be determined. In this case, the more the blocks are located in the center in the puzzle screen 300, the more isolated blocks of different attributes exist in the vicinity, and the block becomes an attribute conversion block, the more the blocks can be connected, Lt; / RTI >

The connection between the blocks will be described later in detail with reference to FIG.

2A, the display module 110 first displays all the blocks as attribute blocks as shown in FIG. 2A, converts a predetermined number of attribute blocks into attribute conversion blocks, and finally, There has been described an example of displaying the screen 300. Alternatively, there may be an embodiment in which both the attribute conversion block and the attribute block to be displayed on the puzzle screen 300 are determined and the puzzle screen 300 as shown in FIG. 2B is directly displayed It will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains.

Referring back to FIG. 1, the input module 120 may sequentially receive a selection command of a first block to an Nth block (N> = 2) among a plurality of blocks displayed in the user terminal. N is not a predetermined fixed number but may be the number of blocks selected by the user.

The input module 120 can recognize only a block selection command input during a predetermined movement restriction time as a valid block selection command. That is, the input module 120 can receive the selection commands of the first block to the N-th block within a predetermined time limit. The movement limit time may be counted from a time point at which the first block (first block) is selected, a point at which the puzzle screen is displayed, or a point at which the property block is converted into the property conversion block.

On the other hand, for all i with 2 < = i < = N, the i < th > block may be a block satisfying both the conditions 1 and 2 below.

[Condition 1]

The i-1 block and the i-th block are adjacent to each other.

[Condition 2]

The condition 1 may mean that, when the user continuously selects a plurality of blocks, the selected block and the next selected block should be adjacent to each other. As described above, the fact that two blocks are adjacent to each other means that one block is located in any one of the upper, lower, left, right, and diagonal directions of another block, and there is no third block between the two blocks . &Lt; / RTI > Therefore, the user can form a block chain composed of a plurality of blocks by connecting adjacent blocks and blocks.

Condition 2 may mean that either the selected block and the block to be selected next are attribute blocks having the same attributes, or that any one of the previously selected block or the next selected block should be the attribute change block. Therefore, in order for the two attribute blocks to be connected to each other, the two attribute blocks must have the same attribute. In order to link two different attribute blocks, an attribute conversion block must be selected in the middle. Accordingly, the user can appropriately select an attribute conversion block for linking different attribute blocks to form a longer block chain.

In addition, according to the embodiment, the condition that the second block to the N-th block is a block that was not previously selected may be further added to [Condition 3].

As described above, the user terminal 200 may include a touch screen 210 as an input / output device. In this case, the input module 120 may be connected to the first block of the touch screen 210 When touching a predetermined touch object to a corresponding area and moving the touch object sequentially to an area corresponding to the Nth block while maintaining the contact, It can be determined that a selection command of " In particular, when the input module 120 senses that a predetermined touch object is in contact with an area corresponding to the first block, it can determine that the selection command for the first block is input, And detects that the touch object moves from an area corresponding to the i-1 block to an area corresponding to the i-th block, it can be determined that the selection command of the i-th block is inputted. Hereinafter, this will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 3, the input module 120 may detect that a touch object touches the touch screen 210 (S100).

The touch object may refer to a predetermined touch device capable of providing a predetermined touch signal to a pressure sensitive / electrostatic touch screen such as a finger or a touch pen.

When the input module 120 detects the touch of the touch object, the input module 120 can select the first block corresponding to the area in which the touch object is contacted (S110).

In one embodiment, an area on the touch screen corresponding to a specific block may be a rectangular area including the specific block, but in some cases, it may be implemented to mean only an area within the outline of the specific block.

Referring again to FIG. 3, the input module 120 may set the number of a block to be selected next to 2 (S120).

In addition, the input module 120 may detect movement of the touch object while maintaining contact with the touch object (S130).

If the block corresponding to the moved region of the touch object (hereinafter referred to as a current block) is adjacent to the previously selected block (i.e., the i-1 block) (see condition 1 described above) The input module 120 determines whether the current block is the attribute conversion block or the previously selected block (i-1 block) is the attribute conversion block (see condition 2 described above) The current block can be selected as the i-th block (S140, S150).

In this manner, the input module 120 can receive a selection command for a plurality of blocks until a predetermined movement limit time elapses (S160).

The above-described process will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 4A, the display module 110 may display a puzzle screen 400 as shown in FIG. 4A. Thereafter, when the user touches the touch object to any point on the area of the touch screen corresponding to the block 421, the input module 120 can select the block 421 as the first block.

According to an embodiment, the display module 110 may give a predetermined graphic effect to a selected block so that the user can easily grasp that the block is a selected block. The graphic effects applied to the selected block may vary. For example, the display module 110 may change the brightness / saturation and size of a selected block, brightly display only a part of a selected block, or may give an animation effect.

The user can move the touch object to an area corresponding to any one of the blocks 411, 412, 422, 431, and 432 adjacent to the selected first block 421 while maintaining contact with the touch object. However, since only the block 412 satisfies the condition 1 and the condition 2, when the touch object moves to the area corresponding to the block 412, the input module 120 receives the selection command of the second block .

Meanwhile, the input module 120 may determine that the selection command of the second block is input even when the touch object moves from the first block to the second block through another block. For example, when the touch object of FIG. 4A moves from the first block 421 to the block 412 through an area corresponding to the block 411, the block 412 is moved to the first block The block 412 can be selected as the second block.

The case where the block 412 is selected as the second block is shown in FIG. 4B. Meanwhile, when the selection command of the second block is input, the display module may display a connection line 461 connecting the first block and the second block on the puzzle screen 400, (2 < = i < = N) is selected, a connection line connecting the i-1 block and the i-th block may be displayed on the puzzle screen 400.

4B, the user can move the touch object to an area corresponding to any one of the blocks 411, 413, 421, 422, and 423 adjacent to the second block 412. [ The candidates that can be selected as the third block are blocks 413 and 423 that satisfy the above-described conditions. If the touch object moves to the area corresponding to the block 413, the input module 120 may select the block 413 as the third block, A connecting line 462 connecting the second block 412 and the third block 413 can be displayed.

4C, the user can move the touch object to an area corresponding to any one of the blocks 412, 414, 422, 423, and 424 adjacent to the third block 413. The candidate that can be selected as the fourth block is an attribute block 422 or an attribute conversion block 424 that satisfies the above-described conditions. The input module 120 may select the block 424 as the fourth block when the touch object moves to the area corresponding to the attribute conversion block 424, As shown in the figure, a connection line 463 connecting the third block 413 and the fourth block 424 can be displayed.

4D, the user can move the touch object to an area corresponding to any one of the fourth block 424 and adjacent blocks 413, 414, 415, 423, 425, 433, 434, and 435. [ Since the fourth block 415 is an attribute switching block, the fourth block 415 can be connected to any one of adjacent attribute blocks having an attribute. The input module 120 may select the block 434 as the fifth block when the touch object moves to the area corresponding to the attribute block 434, A connecting line 464 connecting the fourth block 424 and the fifth block 434 may be displayed.

4E, the user can move the touch object to an area corresponding to any one of the fifth block 434 and the adjacent blocks 423, 424, 425, 433, 435, 443, 444, and 445. [ The block satisfying the above conditions is only the attribute block 433. Therefore, when the touch object moves to the area corresponding to the attribute block 433, the input module 120 can select the attribute block 433 as the sixth block, As shown, a connection line 464 connecting the fifth block 434 and the sixth block 433 can be displayed.

An example in which the attribute conversion block 466 is selected as the seventh block in the above-described method is shown in FIG. 4G and the attribute block 444, the attribute block 435, the attribute block 446, (456) are sequentially shown in the order of Figs. 4H to 4K, respectively.

Referring again to FIG. 1, the control module 150 may remove the first through n-th blocks selected by the user from the puzzle screen, and in response to the puzzle screen, , Which will be described with reference to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 5A, the display module 110 may display a puzzle screen 500 as shown in FIG. 5A on the user terminal 200, . 5B, the attribute conversion block 521, the attribute block 531, the attribute block 542, the attribute conversion block 533, the attribute block 523, the attribute block 534, The control module 150 may remove the blocks included in the selected block chain from the puzzle screen 500 when the attribute block 535 and the attribute conversion block 526 are sequentially selected to form a block chain, The puzzle screen 500 with the selected blocks removed is shown in FIG. 5C. On the other hand, certain graphical effects (e.g., exploding animated effects, etc.) may be displayed before the selected block is removed from the puzzle screen 500.

Meanwhile, the display module 110 may remove the selected blocks and display a new block on the puzzle screen 400 instead of the removed block. For this purpose, the display module 110 can move the blocks located in the upper direction of the removed blocks first in the downward direction as far as they do not overlap with the other blocks. A new block can be displayed in a blank area (block layout space) of the 3D grid. For example, as shown in FIG. 5C, when the puzzle block is removed, two empty block arrangement spaces are formed below the block 512, so that the block 512 can be moved down two spaces. Block 522 and block 532 can each be moved down by one column because there is one empty block placement space below block 522 and block 532 and for the same reason block 513 is moved The block 514 and the block 524 may be moved downward by one space, the block 515 and the block 525 may be moved downward by one space, and the block 516 may be moved downward by one space. The display module 110 can express the movement of each of these blocks as an animation falling down each block. An example of this animation effect is shown in FIGS. 5D to 5G.

5D through 5G also illustrate the process of newly filling a new block. For example, if the block 512 moves two spaces below and the top of the first column in which the block 512 is located, A block layout area is generated. Accordingly, the display module 110 may cause a new block 601 and a new block 607 to be disposed in a column where the block 512 is located. After the block 522 and the block 532 are moved down by one space, two empty block arrangement areas are generated at the top of the second column. Therefore, the display module 110 displays a new block in the second column in which the block 522 is located. A block 602 and a new block 608 may be placed. Similarly, a new block 603 and a new block 609 may be placed in the third column, a new block 604 may be placed in the fourth column, and a new block 605 may be placed in the fifth column And a new block 606 may be placed in the sixth column. As shown in FIGS. 5D to 5G, the display module 110 can also represent an animation in which a new block falls down.

After a part of the existing blocks is removed from the puzzle screen 500 and a new attribute block is newly displayed on the puzzle screen 500, the display module 110 displays a part of the attribute blocks as attributes It is possible to display the puzzle screen 500 as shown in FIG. The example of FIG. 5H shows an example where block 514, block 543, and block 545 are converted into attribute conversion blocks 610-1 through 610-3.

If a plurality of blocks are selected by the user, the control module 150 may generate a score corresponding to each of the plurality of attributes. In particular, the control module 150 may generate a score corresponding to each of the plurality of blocks, The score corresponding to the attribute can be calculated. That is, the control module 150 can calculate a higher score corresponding to the attribute of the block included in the block chain selected by the user as the number of blocks having the attribute is increased.

For example, if the user selects a block as shown in FIG. 4k, the selected block chain includes three blue attributes, two purple attributes, and four green attributes, so the score corresponding to the green attribute And the score corresponding to the purple attribute can be calculated at the lowest level.

Also, according to an embodiment, the control module 150 may further consider the total number of blocks included in the block chain in calculating a score corresponding to each attribute. That is, as the total number of blocks included in the block chain increases, the score corresponding to each attribute can be calculated to be larger.

Meanwhile, until now, the user terminal 200 has the touch screen 210, and the user can operate the touch object by using a touch object such as drawing a brush on the touch screen (i.e., moving the touch object while maintaining contact) Although a series of blocks are selected by way of example, the technical idea of the present invention is not limited thereto. According to an embodiment, the input module 120 senses that a touch object is touched or released from a region corresponding to each block, and whenever a contact or a contact is released, a selection command for a block corresponding to the corresponding region It may be determined whether or not it has been input.

In addition, the user terminal 200 may include a pointing input device such as a mouse. When the input module 120 mouse is clicked, the user terminal 200 may perform an operation corresponding to the contact of the touch object, It is possible to implement the operation corresponding to the movement of the touch object in the case where the touch object is clicked and moved, as will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs.

According to the technical idea of the present invention as described above, by setting some of the blocks displayed on the puzzle screen as property conversion blocks that can be connected to any block, the number of cases in which a user can connect a block chain is very large can do. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the user's sense of achievement by allowing the user to exert higher judgment power to make a longer block chain.
