The game competition list transmission unit 210 may transmit the game competition list to at least one user terminal 100. [ For example, when the user terminal 100 accesses the game tournament operating apparatus 200 to request a game tournament list, the game tournament list transmitting section 210 may transmit the game tournament list to the user terminal 100 .

In this regard, the " game contest list " can help a user decide which game contest to participate in, including a list of game contests that are requested to be held from the game company. That is, the game competition list may include at least one or more game competition information that can be provided to the user terminal 100. Here, the " game competition information " may include game information and competition information about the game to be the object of the game competition. And " game information " may include at least one of a game name, a game image, a game description, and a rating, and " competition information " includes at least one of a competition start date, a competition end date, award information, . ≪ / RTI > Here, the " award " can be an online commodity such as game money or an item, and can be a commodity such as a voucher. In other words, the "award information" includes information about the prize that can be won when winning the competition, and can be changed based on the progress of the competition period, the increase in the number of participants in the competition, and the game item revenue status.

Meanwhile, the game competition management unit 220 may receive a participation application from the user terminal 100 to at least one game competition. For example, when the user terminal 100 displays a game competition list on a display unit (not shown), the game competition management unit 220 receives a participation application for the game competition included in the displayed game competition list from the user .

Also, the game competition management unit 220 may process the application for participating in the game competition received from the user terminal 100, and may include the user who participated in the game competition as a participant in the game competition. In this case, the game competition management unit 220 may determine whether the user satisfies the participation qualification of the game competition. Regardless, there may be no limit to the eligibility of participating in a game contest and may be limited to users who achieve at least a certain score in the game.

On the other hand, the alliance management unit 240 can provide the alliance formation interface to the execution screen of the game which is the subject of the game competition to which the user has applied. Here, "alliance" means a team organized by a user who aims to win a game competition. That is, a user can win a game contest by forming an alliance with other users, playing a game to earn points, and raising the score of an alliance. Also, an alliance may be an alliance of a plurality of users, and an alliance may be composed of only one user. This allows users to form an alliance on their own so that they can compete with other alliances without any other users. In addition, the " alliance interface " can be an interface that allows a user to provide a list of other users to form an alliance with another user, or to form an arbitrary alliance.

For example, the alliance management unit 240 may provide an alliance interface that allows a user to form alliances with other users when the user terminal 100 executes a game for a game meeting. In addition, the alliance management unit 240 may receive an alliance application for the first alliance including a second user different from the first user from the user terminal 100 of the first user among a plurality of users participating in the game tournament.

The alliance management unit 240 may also send a list of other users to the user terminal 100 to allow the user to form an alliance or to apply for an existing alliance.

At this time, the alliance management unit 240 may receive an alliance application for at least one other user from the list of other users from the user terminal 100. [ For example, the alliance management unit 240 may send an alliance application for a first alliance including a second user from a list of other users including a second user different from the first user, to the user terminal 100 of the first user . Accordingly, the user can confirm the list of other users and select another user included in the list, or select an alliance to join, so that the alliance can be applied.

The alliance management unit 240 may also issue an alliance application number for at least one of the second user and the first alliance. At this time, the alliance management unit 240 may issue an alliance application number for each participating user for each game event or issue it for each alliance.

Herein, the alliance application number may include at least one of the user identification information of the second user who generated the alliance application number, the alliance identification information of the first alliance, and the identification information of the game tournament. The " user identification information " is a unique number or a combination of characters capable of distinguishing each of at least one or more users. When the user accesses the game competition operating device 200 and registers a membership, And may be at least one of personal information. Also, 'alliance identification information' or 'identification information of a game contest' may be a unique number or combination of letters that can distinguish one or more alliances or game competitions, respectively.

At this time, the alliance management unit 240 receives the selection or input of the alliance application number of the first alliance from the user terminal 100 of the first user, and receives the alliance application for the first alliance. Therefore, you can use the alliance application number to easily participate in the alliance of the desired game contest.

For example, if the alliance application number issued by the second user is transmitted to the user terminal 100 of the first user, or the alliance association number is disclosed online or offline, such as a blog, the first user inputs the alliance application number So that they can easily participate in the game competition alliance.

In addition, the alliance management unit 240 may add a score to the game scores of the first user and the second user. For example, a point can be awarded according to the method of formation of an alliance, such as granting an additional point to a user who subscribes or induces an alliance using the alliance application number. Through this, it is possible to motivate the effect of joining the alliance or inducing the alliance. In addition, not only game play, but also other players' participation in the game competition can be made to win the alliance.

In addition, the alliance management unit 240 may exclude users who are alliance members of an alliance who have reached an alliance limited number in the list of other users. Here, the "limited number of alliances" is the maximum number of alliances that can belong to a single alliance, preventing the alliance from growing indiscriminately and reducing the gap between alliances in game conferences, .

In addition, the alliance management unit 240 may include a first user in the first alliance or a new alliance between the first user and the other user.

In addition, for example, the alliance management unit 240 may store each alliance and its alliance members in the database based on identification information of a plurality of users and identification information of the alliance when the alliance is formed.

In addition, the alliance management unit 240 may allow an alliance to be formed only when there is an acceptance of an alliance belonging to another user or another user, in order to form an alliance with another allied user.

For example, the alliance management unit 240 may request the acceptance of the alliance application to the user terminal 100 controlled by the representative of the alliance to which the at least one other allied user belongs. That is, the alliance management unit 240 requests the user terminal 100 of the representative of the first alliance to accept the alliance application, and upon receiving the acceptance of the alliance application from the representative user terminal 100, Users can be included. This allows the representative of the alliance to determine whether or not to accept the allied user as an alliance, thereby speeding up the formation of the alliance. In this case, the representative of the alliance may be plural. If an alliance application acceptance is received from the user terminal 100, which is the representative of the alliance, an alliance may be formed between the other user and the allied user.

In addition, the Alliance Administration (240) may obtain an acceptance of all Alliance members so that the Alliance is formed. That is, the alliance management unit 240 may request the user terminal 100 of each alliance member of the alliance to which the at least one allied user belongs, to accept the alliance application. If an alliance application is received from the user terminal 100 of each alliance, the alliance may be established between the allied user and the other user.

In other words, the alliance management unit 240 requests the user terminal 100 of each alliance of the first alliance to accept the alliance application and receives the allied alliance from each of the alliance user terminals 100 The first alliance may include a first user.

In addition, the alliance management unit 240 may request the user terminal 100 to confirm whether or not to accept the invitation offer requested from another user terminal 100. [ For example, another user may propose a recruitment for a user who wants to be an alliance, and a user may be an ally of an alliance who accepts the recruitment proposal and proposes recruitment. Thus, if the user accepts the offer, the game tournament operating device 200 may establish the alliance by setting the user accepting the offer to be an ally of the alliance to which the other user belongs.

For example, the alliance management unit 240 transmits a proposal for the first alliance received from the user terminal 100 of the second user to the user terminal 100 of the first user, By accepting, an alliance application for the first alliance can be received from the user terminal 100 of the first user.

In addition, the alliance management unit 240 may receive an alliance creation request from the user terminal 100 and at least one or more other user terminals 100. [ The alliance management unit 240 may receive a request to create any alliance.

The alliance management unit 240 may also receive the random alliance request from the user terminal 100 of each of the plurality of users including the first user and the second user. In this regard, a random alliance request is a request that each of a plurality of users wishes to form an alliance with another user at random.

Also, the alliance management unit 240 receives the random alliance creation request from the user terminal 100 of each of the plurality of users including the first user and the second user, and receives the game play information of each of the plurality of users who made the random alliance creation request A random group including a first user and a second user is generated on the basis of the first group, a request is made to the user terminal 100 of the first user for a response to switch to the first group for the random group, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > 100 < / RTI > to the first alliance for the random group. As an embodiment of the present invention, the random group may be a temporary alliance before being converted into an alliance, and when a request to switch from the respective terminal of each user included in the random group to the alliance is received, You can form an alliance by switching.

Also, the alliance management unit 240 calculates a score for each of a plurality of users based on game play information of a user who has made a random alliance request for a certain period of time, and calculates a score for each of the plurality of users based on the score of each of the plurality of users, A random group can be created by arranging a plurality of users according to a predetermined arrangement order of allies.

For example, the alliance management unit 240 may arrange each of the plurality of users in the plurality of random groups according to a predetermined alliance placement order based on the score of each of the plurality of users and the limited number of alliances to be created. For example, the alliance management unit 240 arranges a plurality of users one by one in each of a plurality of random groups from the highest score in accordance with the alliance placement order, By placing one in each of the plurality of random groups in reverse order again, all of the plurality of users are switched in reverse order until the arrangement is completed, and each of the plurality of users is assigned to each of the plurality of random groups You can place them one by one.

In addition, the alliance management unit 240 generates a new alliance in the order of users having the highest score, sets half of the plurality of users requesting random alliance creation as alliance members, and sets the remaining half users as new The alliance may be made an ally of the alliance in the order in which it was created.

Also, the alliance management unit 240 may form at least one alliance based on the game play information of each of the plurality of users who have requested alliance creation. An embodiment in which at least one alliance is formed based on game play information of each of a plurality of users for whom the alliance management unit 240 has requested alliance creation is as follows.

The score computing unit 250 may assign a score to each of a plurality of users according to a predetermined score giving method based on game play information of each of a plurality of users. In this case, the predetermined score giving method may be a method set by the game company providing the game. For example, one point may be awarded per user level, or one point per 1000 gold points of the game money. Or the number of hunting monsters or the score of completion of the quest.

Further, the score calculation unit 250 assigns a score according to a predetermined score giving method based on the game play information of each ally of the first ally, adds the scores of all the ally of the first ally, You can calculate the game score of the alliance. The alliance management unit 240 may also form an arbitrary new alliance based on the scores of the plurality of users. In this case, any new alliance can be formed so that the score difference between the alliances is small.

Meanwhile, the score calculation unit 250 according to an embodiment of the present invention can calculate the score of the alliance formed by the alliance management unit 240. [ In other words, when the user and other users of the alliance to which the user belongs play the game, the score calculation unit 250 can assign scores to each user according to a predetermined score giving method. Therefore, when each user's score is calculated, the score calculator 250 can calculate the score of the alliance according to a predetermined score summation method for the score of each user of the alliance. Here, the predetermined score summation method can be an average score of alliance members. In addition, the score calculation unit 250 can add scores to users with low levels based on game play information of each user, and add the scores. For example, the score of the user with the lowest level may be doubled, and the score of the user with the highest level may be given no weight. Therefore, the alliance can prevent the low-level user from being rejected, thereby preventing the novice user from leaving the middle.

The score calculator 250 may calculate the game score of the first alliance considering the score of all alliances of the first alliance including the first user and the second user.

Meanwhile, the award determining unit 260 according to an embodiment of the present invention can determine a prize to be paid by the user based on the score of the alliance calculated by the score calculating unit 250.

For example, based on the alliance score of each of the alliances that played the game in a game contest, you can decide to award the alliance with the highest score of the alliance.

In addition, the award determiner 260 may determine the ranking of the first alliance based on the scores of the first alliance, the second alliance and the first alliance, and determine the rewards to be awarded by the first alliance according to the determined ranking.

In addition, the award determining unit 260 may determine the reward to be paid by the user by dividing the reward received by the alliance to which the user belongs by the number of users belonging to the alliance. Therefore, regardless of the user's score, all users belonging to the alliance can be awarded evenly.

In addition, the award determination unit 260 can determine the award to be paid by the user based on the ratio of the user's score to the score of the alliance to which the user belongs. In other words, if the score of the alliance is 100, if the score of the user is 10, the contribution to the score of the alliance can be determined as 10%. If the game money of 1 million gold is paid as a reward of the alliance, Allied users can receive awards of 100,000 gold. It is possible to provide awards according to the contribution rate of each of the plural alliances, so that the alliance can enhance the cooperation and enjoy the game competition.

Meanwhile, the game tournament management apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a chat unit (not shown) for providing a chat service so that each alliance member can chat with each other.

Meanwhile, the game tournament management apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a ranking information providing unit (not shown) for indicating ranking according to scores of one or more alliances. In this case, ranking information providing (not shown) may not be informed of the score difference with the ally, not the first place, until the end of the game.

In addition, ranking information providing (not shown) can tell the difference of the score with the highest ranking alliance.

In addition, ranking information provision (not shown) may indicate the rank of each alliance member in the alliance.

The award determiner 260 also calculates the contribution rate of each of all the alliances based on the score of each alliance of the first alliance, and calculates the contribution rate of each alliance member You may decide to award this award.

The method of operating the game tournament according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 includes the steps of time series processing in the game tournament operating apparatus 200 shown in FIG. Therefore, the contents described above with respect to the game competition operating apparatus 200 shown in FIG. 2 may be applied to the game tournament operating method according to the embodiment shown in FIG.
