The play determining the blocks on the game board as the occupation block of the first game character is performed by paying the site cost corresponding to the block where the first game character is moved according to the game rule, . ≪ / RTI > The site cost may mean the cost required to determine the block as a block owned by the first game character. In the game service, the user can construct a building in the occupancy block that increases the toll corresponding to the occupation block of the first game character, thereby increasing the interest of the game.

1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a game providing system according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, the game providing system may include a game providing server 110 and user terminals 121, 123, and 125.

According to one embodiment, the game providing server 110 may provide a game service to the user terminals 121, 123, and 125 on-line. Each user can control the character of the game service based on the control signal generated through his / her user terminal 121, 123, 125, and can play the game. For example, the user terminals 121, 123, and 125 may be smart phones, tablet PCs, notebooks, and the like, but are not limited thereto.

The game providing server 110 includes a processor 111 for processing data related to the game service provided to the user terminals 121, 123 and 125, a network connection unit 113 for authenticating online connection of user terminals, And a database 115 for storing online access information of the user (e.g., user ID / password information).

The network connection unit 113 can authenticate the user terminals 121, 123, and 125 to access the game providing server 110 by referring to the online access information stored in the database 115. [ In addition to online access information, the database 115 may store game related data including information on characters, information on game boards on which blocks are listed, and information on tolls corresponding to the respective blocks.

In one embodiment, the network connection 113 may connect the first user terminal 121 and the second user terminal 123 according to a game participation request.

The processor 111 may process data related to the game service provided to the first user terminal 121 and the second user terminal 123 connected to each other. The processor 111 may provide an interface including a game board to the first user terminal 121 and the second user terminal 123 connected to each other. Here, the game board may include a block for generating a special effect with a block that the user can determine as an occupied block. For example, a block generating a special effect may have the effect of preventing a player character from leaving the block for a predetermined game turn if the game character is located in the block. The special effect is not limited to the example shown, but may vary depending on the game setting. In addition, each block in the game board may be formed as a moving path through which characters provided to the terminal are moved, for example, in a polygonal or circular form. Further, the form of the game board is not limited to the rectangular shape shown in the drawings, but includes a plurality of blocks to which individual colors are assigned, each block is used as a movement path of the character, And may include any type of board in which game play is performed.

The processor 111 can alternately give a game turn to the first user terminal 121 and the second user terminal 123 and generate a game signal based on the control signal input from the first user terminal 121 in each game turn And control the game play of the second game character based on the control signal input from the second user terminal 123. [

The game play performed in each game turn may be (1) a game in which a first game character is moved on a game board based on a game rule, (2) a game in which a first game character moves, and have. For example, (1) may include a game for moving a first game character based on a scale presented through a die provided on a game interface. The method of moving the game character is not limited to the method using the dice. The number of blocks to be moved by the game character is determined in each game turn by determining the number of blocks to be moved by the game character using the roulette, And may include any manner in which the game character moves. (2) proceeds to play the construction of an additional building when i) a block arriving and arrived by the first game character corresponds to an occupation block of the first game character, or ii) If the block corresponding to the occupation block of the second game character is changed to the occupied block of the first game character and the building is constructed on the changed block, or iii) the block arriving after the first game character is moved If it is a block that is not occupied by the first game character and the second game character, determines that the arrived block is an occupied block of the first game character and proceeds to play the building to the determined occupied block, or iv) 1 When a block arriving after a game character moves corresponds to a block capable of generating a special effect, It may include performing. Since the building of the first game character can be constructed only for the occupied block of the first game character on the game service, if the block arrived by the first game character is not the occupied block of the first game character, The process of changing to a block should proceed in advance. Since the proposed play (2) is not an essential play, the play to change the arrived block into the occupied block and the play to build the building may proceed based on the control signal of the first user terminal corresponding to the first game character, It may not proceed.

According to one embodiment, a play in which a first game character moves on a game board and determines a block as an occupied block of a first game character based on a control signal of the first user terminal 121, Cost can be performed by being paid from the amount of the first game character.

Playing to build a building on the basis of a control signal of the first user terminal 121 in a block in which the first game character moves on the game board is performed by paying the building cost for building construction from the amount of the first game character . For example, a building that may be built in an occupancy block may include a villa, a building, a hotel, and a building selected based on a control signal of the first user terminal may be constructed in an occupancy block. It may be required that the building cost corresponding to the selected building be paid from the holding amount of the first game character. When a house, a building, or a hotel is constructed in a block where the first game character arrives, a special building (e.g., a landmark) can be constructed based on the control signal of the first user terminal 121. [ The occupied block of the first game character in which the special structure is constructed may not be allowed to be changed into the occupied block of the second game character in the game service.

When the second game character is positioned in the occupied block of the first game character through game play, the processor 111 calculates the amount of money corresponding to the toll of the occupied block from the amount of the second game character by the first game character Can be controlled to be collected. For example, the toll can be estimated based on the land cost of the occupied block and the building cost.

According to one embodiment, the processor 111 can determine the winner of the game service by comparing the amount of the first game character with the amount of the second game character, according to the game rule. For example, the processor 111 compares the amount of the first game character with the amount of the second game character after a predetermined time has elapsed or a predetermined number of game turns have progressed according to a predetermined game rule The winner of the game service can be determined. In addition, when the amount of the game characters owned by any one of the first game character and the second game character is exhausted, the processor 111 can determine the losing game character as the loser and terminate the game .

According to one embodiment, the processor 111 may present the color card at each game turn and may provide the game service through the generated rules based on the presented color card. The game play through the rules generated based on the color cards will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.

FIG. 2 illustrates an example of an interface provided to a user terminal by a game providing server according to an embodiment.

2, some blocks 211 and 215 among the blocks 211, 213, 215, and 217 that can be determined as occupied blocks of the game character in the game board include a plurality of colors Color < RTI ID = 0.0 > 8). ≪ / RTI > For example, blocks 211 and 215 may correspond to color 1 and color 2, respectively, and blocks 213 and 217 may be determined to be an occupied block, but corresponding colors may not exist.

According to one embodiment, the processor of the game providing server may present one or more color cards corresponding to any one of the hues corresponding to the blocks for each game turn. For example, one or more color cards presented may correspond to any one of hues 1 through 8 corresponding to the blocks shown in FIG. 2, and the color of the presented color card may be random . Further, a plurality of color cards may be presented in each game turn, and the number of presented cards may be randomly determined. For example, the number of color cards presented per game turn may be between one and three. When a plurality of color cards are presented, the same color may be assigned to the color cards according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2, there are three color cards 231, 241 and 251 presented at the current game turn, the color card 231 corresponds to color 1, the color card 241 corresponds to color 2, (251) shows an example corresponding to the color 7. The color corresponding to the color card may be randomly determined for each game turn. If three color cards are presented in the same way as previous game turns in another game turn, color cards of a different color combination than the color combinations of the color cards presented in the previous game turn may be presented. Also, a plurality of color cards presented each turn may include color cards of the same color. For example, if three color cards are presented on a game turn, the color of two of the three color cards may be the same, or the colors of all three color cards may be the same.

According to one embodiment, the processor of the game providing server may present a score assigned to the color card together with a color card corresponding to any one of the colors corresponding to the blocks for each game turn. In addition, the processor of the game providing server can present a score assigned to each of a plurality of color cards and a plurality of color cards for each game turn. For example, a color card 231 may be presented with a score of one, a color card 241 may be presented with a score of two, and a color card 251 may be presented with a score of two Can be presented. The score presented can be randomly determined for each game turn.

According to one embodiment, when the first game character 221 corresponding to the first user terminal moves according to the game rule and the color of the located block coincides with the color of the presented color card, 1 < / RTI > user terminal and may give the first game character 221 a score assigned to the color card. For example, if the first game character 221 corresponding to the first user terminal moves in accordance with the game rule and is located in the block 215, the color of the block 215 is the color of the color card 241 Matches the color. The processor of the game providing server can provide additional play to the first user terminal corresponding to the first game character 221 and can give the first game character 221 a score of two points. The additional play and the determination method of the game based on the points awarded to the game character will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 3A to 3E are diagrams illustrating an example for explaining additional play provided to a user terminal according to an embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the processor of the game providing server may be configured such that the first game character 331 moves according to a game rule, and at least one of the plurality of color cards 321, 323, and 335 It is possible to provide the first user terminal with additional play as many times as the number of color cards whose color matches the color of the block in which the first game character 331 is located. For example, if the first game character 331 moves in accordance with the game rule and is located in the block 313, the color of the block 313 is uniquely matched with the color of the color card 335, One additional play may be provided. In another example, if the first game character 331 moves in accordance with the game rules and is located in the block 311, the color of the block 311 matches the color of the two color cards 321 and 323, The user terminal may be provided with two additional plays. For example, if additional play is provided, the game service may proceed in the following order. In the case where one additional play is provided to the first user terminal, the processor of the game providing server advances (1) the general game play progressed in the block in which the first game character 331 arrived at the game turn, (2) It is possible to advance the game play corresponding to the play. When two additional plays are provided to the first user terminal, the processor of the game providing server advances (1) the general game play progressed in the block in which the first game character 331 arrived at the game turn, (2) (3) The game play corresponding to the second additional play can be advanced.

For example, in a general game play performed in a block in which the first game character 331 arrives at a game turn, a block in which the first game character 331 is positioned is moved to the first game character 331, In the case of a block occupied by the first game character 331 and a block in which the first game character 331 is located in the occupied block and the block for building a building is not occupied by the first game character 331, 331), and constructing an additional structure in a block changed to an occupied block. The building of the first game character 331 can be constructed only in the occupied block of the first game character 331 on the game service and the block in which the first game character 331 is located according to the game rule is not occupied by the occupation block Or a block occupied by the first game character 331 and another game character, the general game play performed in the block in which the first game character 331 arrives at the game turn is the first game character 331 May be replaced with an occupied block of the first game character 331 and a building in which a building is constructed in addition to the occupied block of the first game character 331. [

According to one embodiment, when any one of a plurality of blocks is selected based on the control signal input by the first user terminal in the additional play, the processor of the game providing server constructs the building in the selected block or The interface for changing the selected block to the occupied block of the first game character 331 can be activated. An example of an interface that is activated when a block is selected in the additional play is shown in FIG. 3E.

According to one embodiment, any one of a plurality of blocks may be selected based on the control signal input by the first user terminal in the additional play, and the building is constructed in the selected block, The selected block is changed to the occupied block of the first game character 331 and further the building may be constructed in the occupied block in which the building is changed. The block that can be selected for additional play may be any one of the blocks of one line including the block in which the first game character 331 moves and positions according to the game rule in its game turn, The block may be an occupied block of another game character.

3B, when the block 341, which is the occupied block of the first game character 331 corresponding to the first user terminal for additional play, is selected based on the control signal of the first user terminal, the block 341 Is a state in which no current building exists, so that one building 343 can be constructed in the block 341 through the additional play. Since the total number of buildings to be built in the block is three, in the case of block 341, the number of buildings that can be built in one additional play may be between one and three. The number of buildings that can be built in one additional play and the total number of buildings that can be built into the blocks are not limited to the examples shown.

Referring to FIG. 3C, when the block 351, which is the occupied block of the first game character 331, is selected for additional play based on the control signal of the first user terminal, the block 351 is constructed with one building One additional building 353 can be constructed through the additional play. As mentioned above, since the total number of buildings that can be built in the block is three, one or two buildings can be constructed through additional play in the block 351. [

According to one embodiment, when a block 361 satisfying a condition that a special building among the occupied blocks of the first game character 331 can be constructed is selected based on the control signal of the first user terminal, A special building can be built in the block 361. For example, referring to FIG. 3D, if a block 361, which is an occupied block of the first game character 331, is selected for additional play, based on the control signal of the first user terminal, Three buildings are built, and this corresponds to a condition in which a special building (e.g., a landmark or the like) can be constructed, so that a special building 363 can be built in the block 361 through additional play. For example, when a special building is built in an occupied block, the toll on the occupied block is increased more than when a normal building is constructed, or the occupied block in which a special structure is constructed is larger than the second game character 333, The occupied block can be limited. The conditions under which a particular building can be built into an occupied block and the effects that arise when a particular building is built into an occupied block are not limited to the examples shown.

According to one embodiment, when the occupation block of the second game character 333 corresponding to the second user terminal is selected based on the control signal input by the first user terminal in the additional play, the processor of the game providing server The occupied block of the second game character 333 may be changed to the occupied block of the first character 331 and the interface for building the modified occupied block may be activated. An example of the interface to be activated is shown in Figure 3e.

It can be determined whether or not the occupied block selected through the activated interface will be changed to the occupied block of the first game character 331 and it can be further determined whether or not the building is constructed in the selected occupied block. For example, when the occupation block of the second game character 333 is selected by the control signal of the first user terminal in the additional play, the occupation block of the second game character 333 is occupied by the first game character 331 The occupation block of the second game character 333 selected by paying the second game character 333 for changing the cost to the block can be changed to the occupied block of the first game character. If it is decided to proceed with the play of constructing the additional building through the activated interface, the cost required for constructing the additional building may be additionally paid from the amount of the first game character 331. However, if a special building (e.g., a landmark) is built in the occupied block of the second game character 333, the occupied block in which the special building is built can not be selected in the additional play.

According to one embodiment, when the block selected based on the control signal input by the first user terminal in the additional play is not the occupied block occupied by the first game character 331 and another game character, The processor of the first game character 331 may determine the selected block as the occupied block of the first game character 331 and activate the interface for building the determined occupied block. It can be determined whether the selected block through the activated interface is to be the occupied block of the first game character 331, and it can be further determined whether or not the building is constructed. For example, when the selected block corresponds to a block that is not occupied by the first game character 331 and the second game character 333, the block selected through the activated interface is determined as the occupied block of the first game character In this case, the site cost of the selected block can be paid from the amount of the first game character 331 held. If it is decided to proceed with the play of constructing the additional building through the activated interface, the cost required for constructing the additional building may be additionally paid from the amount of the first game character 331.

3E illustrates an example of an interface that is activated when a block is selected in an additional play according to one embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3E, an example presented is an interface that is activated when a block corresponding to Seoul is selected in the additional play. The interface includes the costs required to determine the selected block as an occupied block (eg, land 14.6 million) and the building costs required to build the building (eg, 14.6 million homes, 14.6 million buildings, 14.6 million hotels) The toll on the block can be presented. It can be determined whether a building is constructed based on the control signal of the first user terminal through the presented interface or whether the selected block is changed to the occupied block of the first game character 331. [ For example, when the block corresponding to Seoul corresponds to the occupied block of the first game character 331, the cost corresponding to the site cost (e.g., land 14.6 million) It can only be determined whether to build additional buildings. If the block corresponding to Seoul does not correspond to the occupied block of the first game character 331, the block corresponding to Seoul is paid to the occupied block of the first game character 331 The selected building can be constructed based on the control signal of the first user terminal among the buildings corresponding to the villa, the building and the hotel. If the block corresponding to Seoul corresponds to the occupied block of the second game character 333 and the building corresponding to the villa is constructed, the block corresponding to Seoul is changed to the occupied block of the first game character 331 The cost corresponding to the land cost (for example, land 14.6 million) and the cost corresponding to the constructed structure (for example, 14.6 million cabins) must be paid from the amount of the first game character 331. In this case, a block corresponding to Seoul may be changed to an occupied block of the first game character 331, and an additional structure (e.g., a building or a hotel) may be constructed based on the selection of the first user terminal.

4A and 4B are diagrams for explaining a method of determining a game based on a score of a game character according to an embodiment.

According to one embodiment, when the first game character 431 corresponding to the first user terminal moves according to the game rules in the game turn and the color of the block located matches the color of the presented color card, May assign the score assigned to the color card to the first game character 431. For example, when the first game character 431 moves according to the game rule and is located at the block 413, the first game character 431 receives the color card 425 having the same color and color as the block 413, The user can be given two points that correspond to the score of the user.

According to one embodiment, when the first game character 431 corresponding to the first user terminal moves according to the game rule and the color of the block located matches the at least one of the colors of the plurality of color cards, The processor of the server may give the first game character 431 a score assigned to each of the color cards matching the color of the block in which the first game character 431 is located. For example, when the first game character 431 moves in accordance with the game rule in its game turn and is located in the block 411, the first game character 431 determines that the color and the color of the block 411 match One point and two points corresponding to the scores corresponding to the color cards 421 and 423, and three points in total.

According to one embodiment, the processor of the game providing server determines whether or not the win condition of the first game character is satisfied based on whether the sum of the scores given to the first game character 431 is larger than the first threshold value You can decide. For example, referring to FIG. 4A, if the winning condition is to acquire a score corresponding to three thresholds, the first game character 431 moves to the block 411 to display color cards 421, 423 and the color of the block 411 match, the first game character 431 may be given three points, and it may be determined that the win condition of the first game character 431 is satisfied. In this case, the processor may determine that the first game character 431 has won and may terminate the game play or activate the interface for determining whether to continue the game play, and the first game character 431, It may be determined whether to continue the game play through the activated interface based on the control signal input from the first user terminal corresponding to the game device. An example of an activated interface provided to a first user terminal is shown in Figure 4B.
