BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a system as an embodiment for playing a game of the present invention. The game of the present invention can be implemented by a device such as a mobile phone (smart phone), a PAD, a TABLET, an electronic game machine, an electronic dictionary, a navigation system, a notebook PC or the like, The game may be installed with the operating system, but preferably the user is allowed to install the program. When a game is played by a smart phone (hereinafter referred to as a terminal) equipped with the game of the present invention, the game information is requested to the server indicated by the Puzzle Poker Web Server. The information sends personal information including login information. In order to execute the game, the server transmits various information such as update information about the game, images and data such as game frames to the user's smartphone. Then you set up and prepare your game. The terminal of the user requests and provides the server with information such as the definition and modification of the game rules for the betting and the game progress, game deck, chat, user win and loss, etc. as polling information, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > polling < / RTI > As shown in the figure, the server preferably stores such game information in a DB. The server preferably comprises a user DB, a game related information DB, and a log DB for the log of the game as a logical DB. And an administrator-type server that manages such a game as a whole can be operated separately. Thus, the server receives the information on agreement or modification of the method of game progress from the participants, stores it in the game related information DB, distributes the card according to the game start request of the participants, The game will be played and managed. It is a matter of course that the system of FIG. 1 is a preferred system configuration and that the physical and / or logical configuration of the server can be variously modified to perform the online game of the present invention described below.

In the game of the present invention, the unique information of the user must be registered so that the game can be installed in the terminal as in the case of an ordinary online game, and the user can log in and use the game. Create online login information for the game and use IDs and so on. In addition, in order for a plurality of people to play the game together, information can be exchanged, a chat room, a game room, and a person inviting or participating can form a game without any difference from the existing poker game or online game. Also, it is possible to acquire or purchase an item used in a game, and to provide (sell) or use the item to another person in the same or similar manner as the existing online game. Therefore, description of the same or similar features of existing games will be omitted, and the description will be focused on the features of the game of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a manner in which cards are arranged and selected in the game of the present invention. Hereinafter, a game of the present invention will be described with a Western game card and a four card game.

Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a case where a plurality of participating participants are gathered in a game room, and their cards are arranged in random order on a game screen with different combinations of n by m matrices and selecting a card. In the present invention, the arrangement of the cards is such that each card is individually selected from a set of cards and arranged as an nxm matrix. Therefore, a card that is owned by one person is an individual distribution method that others can equally have. In a typical poker game, the same card (for example, a spade king) may be allocated to all participants unlike a single card that is arranged to the player, and the player may draw a lower probability but draw the same cards.

On the left side of Fig. 2, cards are arranged in a 5x5 array. Different cards are all arranged in different combinations. The participant selects a predetermined number of cards, which will be described as a card game in which all five cards are selected. The selection method is to start from any card and select five cards successively from adjacent diagonally opposite left, right, and up card as shown by the arrow. That is, a predetermined number of cards are selected so as to be continuous in at least one of the upper, lower, left, right, left diagonal, and right diagonal directions among the arranged cards. The selected cards are displayed in color or contrast so that the participant knows the selected card. If you make a mistake or skip it, you can prevent the card from being selected and displayed, and a warning message may be displayed. On the right side of the arranged cards, a space in which a user name and a photograph can be inserted can be displayed in the user information field 10, and a betting information field 20 in which information on a bet is displayed is provided. The number of items (FLIP), etc., and other participant information can also be displayed below.

Each participant's cards are individually arranged with different cards so that they can select a puzzle-like card under different conditions so that the game simply can not select a good card with a quick selection and the same card is selected You can reduce the probability. Also, as shown, some of the cards may not be opened randomly and may be arranged in a hidden card state, in which case the hidden cards may be excluded from selection, or a random card may be selected and opened . The hidden cards may be opened prior to the selection of the card by using the item, and these items may be obtained under certain conditions such as separately purchasing or completing a predetermined task during the game. And the selected cards can not be passed again like hidden cards.

3 is a diagram showing a state in which a participant has selected a card.

As shown in the figure, when five cards are selected as a predetermined number, the state of the selected card is shown. Referring to FIG. 3, it is shown that from the spade king to the right diagonal line 7, five cards up to diamond 7 diamond 4 and diamond king in the left direction are selected.

The selection of the card should be performed within a predetermined time, and may be folded if no selection is made within a predetermined time (for example, within one minute after the card is arranged), or arbitrarily selected five cards may be selected.

If it is within the predetermined time, the selected card can be canceled and selected again so that the card can be selected, or the game item can be used to puzzle the card again.

When each participant selects the cards in a puzzle form by the game program, the game program determines whether the card is selected to fit the rule, and transmits the finally selected card information to the server.

Each participant will then bet on their card. In the present invention, it is possible to determine the game by comparing the corresponding values of the selected cards and to secure a predetermined score or amount for the winner, grade) is set in advance as a score or an amount, and the difference is compensated for, and in the case of a tie, a tie is determined. For example, as shown in Table 1 below, the value is set according to a pair of poker (corresponding to a so-called family tag), and the amount for each value is determined in advance as a rating of the game room.

Fair Pair value Fair Pair value No Fair 0 flush 5 One pair One full house 8 Two pairs 2 Four cards 10 triple 3 Straight flush 20 straight 4 Royal Straight Flush 30

Each game room has a fair value of the game money per point in advance and is selected with a rating of 1 coin, 10 coin, 100 coin, etc., and each participant can select an appropriate level of game room according to his or her game money. When a participant selects a card in the form of a puzzle and transmits information of the card to the server, the server calculates the difference between the selected card information of the participants according to the predetermined card value and the pair value. In addition, the participant is compensated by multiplying the bet amount set in the participating game with the difference in the score or the amount depending on the game, betting a multiple of the reward in accordance with the progress of the game, and providing the bet information to the server. For example, if one participant is 1 point in a pair and the other player is 3 points in a triple, then the winner gets 1 point. If the car is 2 points and the room's game amount is set at $ 10 per point (1 + 2) And the loser is paid 30 coins. Participants will then multiply this amount by a factor of several times to bet on the loser to pay. If the betting is normally completed, if one participant doubles the other by a factor of 5, then the final coin is determined to be 10 times the coin, which is 10 coins of 30 coins. If the player does not bet or gives up, he / she will be regarded as the lowest fair value of "0", and the coin of the difference and the victory point will be paid as compensation. The multiplication for betting will be made until abandonment Accepted bets are recognized and multiplied. In case of sudden withdrawal due to change of the external environment such as telephone reception or network abnormality, the withdrawal arbitrator can arbitrarily set the pair value to "0" and calculate only the victory point and difference as compensation, and not multiply all the multiplies of all bets. Therefore, if you have not participated in any betting or sudden withdrawal, you will be awarded 3 coins (3 + 1) × 10 coins (3 points) 10 × 10 coins will be rewarded). And those who give up are multiplied by this 40 coins by a multiple of the betting involved. Here, if the bet is two times as long as you give up, the final reward of the abandoner will be 40 × 2 and coin 80.

If a player chooses a pair with the same rank, there will be no difference in the pair value. Therefore, the winner and loser will be determined based on the presence of the highest card, and the winner's compensation will be determined and multiplied by a multiple of the bet amount. . In other words, the same winner's score can be set to 1 point (described as 1 point above) and can be changed to any other score. In the case of flush or straight, the same pair can be set higher or lower, and these points can be set in advance.

Such a method of calculating the compensation amount is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. By applying the withdrawal itself in the same manner as the abandonment, it is possible to multiply the betting multiples until withdrawal, and when the abandoner abandons, the multiples of the bet are multiplied It is also possible to do that. The method of calculating such compensation, the value of the fair value and the detailed rules are based on one, and the other conditions can be changed by agreeing between the participants in the setting or the option, and can be changed by agreement before or during the game have.

And if two or more players hold the same top pair of cards selected (if all cards have the same number or type), the winners are divided equally. However, the game may be invalidated and the next game may be played, or a game may be newly played so that the reward of the remaining losers bet on the same game is added to the next game reward, or only the participants who are tied to the new game You may want to select a rule to proceed.

Betting can be done once per person, or as a regular card game, allowing you to continue betting with consensus. For example, you can bet at any time, regardless of the order, and you can do it repeatedly until the game is over, and you can no longer place additional bets after everyone else has handed you out or left a preset game timeout (for example, 20 seconds) I can not let them. Of course, the time limit can be changed in the game setting. In addition, the limit of the betting multiplier is determined as the coin per score is determined for each room, so that the betting can be made within the limit of each room, and the competitor may be authorized to change the upper limit of the betting under the agreement of the participants.

In this manner, rather than using the bet as an amount, it is possible to manage the convenience of the game progress and the betting according to the game money by betting a multiple of the compensation amount for the difference of the amount of the room and the pair value of the corresponding room.

Hereinafter, the progress of the game of the present invention will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG.

Each participant selects a room according to the level of the compensation through the terminal installed with the game program and participates in the game. It is assumed that the rank of the pair or the other game participants can select and modify the game rules or agrees with the predetermined rules without any consensus and transmits information on the game participation and rules and personal information on the participants to the server, You will be asked to proceed. The server receiving the information about the start of the game checks the update information of the game, such as the information of the other participants and the game rules, and the update information of the game, in order to start the game, And instructs each terminal to display the card by providing it to the terminal. Each terminal displays an array of cards according to the server's instructions and information. At this time, each terminal sets its own designated card irrespective of the terminals of other participants according to the instructions of the server. The participant selects a card according to a puzzle rule in a manner such as opening a hidden card within a predetermined time, and each terminal provides card selection information of the participant to the server. The server determines whether the card selection is appropriate to the game rule In addition, we judge individually about the use of item, and eventually let each participant confirm the card selection. Each participant then places a bet on a multiple of the rewards based on their selected card. When the server provides the selection information for betting, the server calculates the determination and the bet amount of the card, transmits the result to each terminal, and stores it in the DB. When information on the game continuation is received from each terminal, the card is set again and the game progress is instructed.

It is explained above that the server performs the selection of the card set by the participant, the use of the item to view the hidden card, and the control or judgment of all the progress. However, each terminal may be configured to perform selection and determination of card selection, use of items, and the like in addition to the function of transmitting and receiving selection information to the server, in the terminal according to the updated game rules of the program. For example, when a card is selected, each terminal determines the order information of the arranged cards and the selected card according to the rule, and transmits them to the server, displays the cards or randomly sets them in the terminal, When the participant notifies the position of the selected card and provides the server with the position information of the selected card, the server can compare and judge the card values selected by the puzzle type.

That is, judging and controlling are mainly performed in the server, and the terminal provides the information of the card selected by the participant, and according to the server's judgment result, notifying the participants of the display and proceeding the game progresses to secure the fairness and stability of the game Do. However, if all decisions are made in the server, the communication must be continuously performed in real time, so that a wireless-oriented smartphone may be burdened, and the terminal may share a certain role.

In the foregoing, the game of the present invention has been mainly described as a five-poker game of the Western Card. However, the present invention is applied to a game of betting poker like a puzzle-type card selection, and can be modified in various ways.

First, cards can be used as a series of numbers (consecutive numbers in a natural number), letters, symbols, and two or more kinds of cards, not poker cards. Even if it is not a conventional poker card or a fireball, it is possible to make a card arbitrarily by adding a number or a shape newly, and it is only necessary that the order and the type can be distinguished. It is sufficient that the kind and order of such a card can apply the rule of judgment between the cards described above.

In order to play the game of the present invention, a participant can play a game by using the game program of the present invention on-line or on a network, and a plurality of people can play the game in a manner of participating in a room created in advance, (Social Networking Service) to create rooms or participate in the game can be done in a way. To this end, a program such as a game application of the present invention can be linked with the SNS programs, which can be fully utilized as an interworking method of existing game programs.

The setting of the card for starting the game may be performed by randomly arranging different combinations of cards on the screen of each of the plurality of participants in an nxm matrix randomly, rather than on the same card, Considering the size and size of the terminal, players can select an array of matrices before the game starts and set the hidden card numbers in advance. It is controlled by the server and the mirror information is transmitted, and the game can be progressed sufficiently. Even during the game, the rules can be adjusted according to the agreement of the participants. In order to do this, a chat window is provided on the game screen so that participants can coordinate their doctors. Of course, this kind of chatting can be done according to the way used in existing online games.

The card of the present invention is preferably classified into four kinds of cards, such as a regular poker card or a card such as an oriental fighting card. It is convenient because it is well known to the general public and the standard of rating is widely known.

Therefore, the individual ranking of such puzzle-selected cards can be judged according to one or more of the rules of a western card game including poker and blackjack, in one or more of the game rules of Oriental games including the game, Depending on the number, letter or symbol, and type combination, you can set the individual grade rank of each selected card. Participants can identify and participate in the rules of the game, not only the size of the rewards, but also the rules of the game, and the ranking rules can be adjusted to some extent according to the agreement of the game participants. As described above, the value of a grade is determined in advance by a score or an amount of money, and a score is determined by comparing the corresponding points or amounts of the selected cards. In the case of a tie, a draw determination is made. You will be compensated by multiplying the difference in points or amounts due to the game.

When the rank order and the bet amount are calculated, the card arrangement is newly shuffled and set or only the selected card is excluded, and the remaining cards are filled with the remaining cards, You can continue playing the game by setting a new card.

If the game is abandoned suddenly or abandoned suddenly online and then left the game room, it can be processed as a folded participant by defeating.

This game can be used in a terminal having a telephone function like a smartphone. Therefore, if a participant gets a call during a game, even if the call is not stopped by waiting for a predetermined time, the game can be defeated and a call can be received If you refuse or hang up, your online connection will be configured so that you can continue playing the game. To this end, the game of the present invention can be configured to be continuously operated in the background.
