As described above, the goods transaction management apparatus 10 can be implemented in any form of an electronic terminal or a server-client system. When implemented in a server-client system, Some of the parts can be performed only on the server or only on the client.

As described above, the goods transaction management apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include the control unit 120, the communication unit 130, and the memory 140, and may further include the input / output unit 110 .

The input / output unit 110 may include an input unit for receiving input from a user, and an output unit for displaying information such as a result of performing a job or a status of the goods transaction management device 10. [ For example, the input / output unit 110 may include an operation panel for receiving user input and a display panel for displaying a screen.

Specifically, the input unit may include devices capable of receiving various types of user input such as a keyboard, a physical button, a touch screen, a camera or a microphone. Also, the output unit may include a display panel or a speaker. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the input / output unit 110 may include various input / output support structures.

Meanwhile, the control unit 120 controls the overall operation of the goods transaction management device 10 and may include a processor such as a CPU. The control unit 120 may control other components included in the goods transaction management device 10 to perform an operation corresponding to a user input received through the input / output unit 110.

For example, the control unit 120 may execute a program stored in the memory 140, read a file stored in the memory 140, or store a new file in the memory 140. [

The control unit 120 can stop the transaction of the goods in the game based on the quantity of the goods in the game.

To this end, the control unit 120 may acquire the quantity of items in the game, for example, items or game money.

For example, the control unit 120 may acquire the number of 'swords', which is an item allocated to the user in the game space, or may acquire the total amount of 'gold coins' in the game space.

If the quantity of the acquired goods exceeds the limited quantity, the controller 120 may stop the transaction of the goods until the quantity of the goods exceeds the limited quantity.

For example, the control unit 120 may suspend the transaction for 'sword' if the quantity of 'sword', which is an item of rare rank assigned to the user, exceeds the limited quantity of 50.

For example, if the total amount of game money issued in the game exceeds the predetermined amount in the limited amount, the control unit 120 may stop trading game money among the users in the game space.

Alternatively, for example, when the game money is traded at a specific transaction place, the control unit 120 may stop trading of only the game money.

The control unit 120 may stop the transaction for the goods if the in-game goods exceed the limit variation rate.

Alternatively, the control unit 120 may temporarily suspend the transaction of goods if the rate of change of the quantity of the acquired goods exceeds the limit rate of change even if the goods in the game do not exceed the limited quantity.

For example, the controller 120 can calculate the rate of change of 'gold coin', which is commonly used in the game space, and if the rate of change of 'gold coin' 'May be temporarily suspended.

Or, for example, the controller 120 can calculate the rate of change of the quantity of 'armor', which is an item of rare rank in the game space, and the rate of change of the quantity of 'armor' If the quantity increases sharply, the transaction can be temporarily stopped.

At this time, the controller 120 may calculate the amount of goods in the game by correcting the number of users using the game and the quantity of goods increased in the game space.

For example, the control unit 120 may calculate the rate of change by excluding game money, which is increased as the number of users using the game increases, from the total amount of game money acquired in the game.

In this way, if the rate of change of a specific item in the game exceeds a predetermined limit, it is possible to prevent a specific item from being diffused in the game by stopping the transaction of the item.

Then, the control unit 120 may determine a period during which the transaction of the goods is temporarily stopped based on the variation rate.

For example, when the change rate of the 'gold coins' is 25%, the control unit 120 determines the transaction of 'gold coins' for 50 hours, which is 25% of the 200 hours, It can be suspended temporarily.

In this way, it is possible to flexibly secure a period during which the cause can be resolved according to the degree of fluctuation of the quantity of goods by setting a period for temporarily stopping the transaction of the goods according to the quantity change rate of the goods, Can be minimized.

Then, the control unit 120 may set a period for suspending the transaction of the goods in accordance with the reason that the quantity of the goods such as the item or the game money exceeds the predetermined quantity in the limit criterion.

For example, if the rate of change of the game money is due to an abnormal behavior of the user in the game, the control unit 120 deletes the account of the user and stops the transaction of the game money until the changed game money is collected have.

On the other hand, the control unit 120 may vary the range of stopping the transaction of goods according to the embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the control unit 120 may suspend the transaction of goods exceeding the limit quantity.

For example, the control unit 120 may suspend the transaction only for the item 'Mithril', which is an item exceeding the predetermined quantity, or may stop the transaction for all items of the 'Sword' category belonging to the ' It may suspend the transaction.

According to another embodiment, the control unit 120 may stop the function of the purchase place where the goods exceeding the limited quantity can be traded.

For example, the control unit 120 may suspend the function of a shop, which is a place where a 'mithril sword' can be obtained or a 'mithril sword' is sold.

By temporarily stopping the function of only a specific place where the goods can be purchased in the game, the cause of the quantity of goods exceeding the limit criterion can be solved without interruption of the entire game.

Or according to another embodiment, the control unit 120 may suspend the transaction of all goods within the game.

When the transaction of the goods is stopped, the controller 120 can analyze the reason that the quantity of the goods corresponds to the limit criterion.

In one embodiment, the control unit 120 can analyze the acquisition process of the goods whose transactions are suspended for each user.

For example, the control unit 120 determines whether the 'gold coin' obtained by the first user is more than two times or more than the 'gold coin' that the second user obtains on average, , It is possible to analyze the cause of the fluctuation of the quantity of the goods whose transactions have been suspended because of the behavior of the first user.

According to another embodiment, the controller 120 may analyze a process in which a transaction for which a transaction has been suspended is displayed in the game space.

For example, the control unit 120 may analyze whether the quantity of goods supplied to the first user exceeds the quantity of the predetermined goods when the first user purchases the goods whose transaction has been suspended at the purchase location.

Alternatively, for example, the controller 120 may analyze the appearance quantity of the goods whose transactions are stopped in the random item, and analyze whether the goods have appeared according to the predetermined probability.

According to another embodiment, the control unit 120 may analyze whether the transaction is stopped or not. For example, the control unit 120 may analyze whether duplicate unique identification information is included based on the unique identification information allocated for each item.

The control unit 120 may update the restriction criterion based on the analyzed result.

According to one embodiment, the control unit 120 may update the limit variation rate.

For example, when the change rate of 'gold coins' is analyzed due to an increase in the number of users playing the game, the control unit 120 may increase the predetermined change rate included in the restriction criterion in proportion to the variation rate of the user.

According to another embodiment, the control unit 120 can update the limit quantity.

For example, if the increase in the number of items is analyzed as a result of an increase in the number of users playing a particular stage, the controller 120 may increase the maximum quantity of goods included in the restriction criterion.

In this way, by adjusting or adjusting the standard value of the goods whose rate of change has exceeded the preset reference value in the state where the transaction is stopped, the transaction of the goods is not stopped by increasing the quantity of goods due to normal play, thereby reducing the inconvenience of the user .

According to the embodiment, the control unit 120 may provide the analyzed cause to the administrator managing the game.

Thereafter, the control unit 120 can cancel the transaction suspension of the goods when the period of the suspension of the transaction of the goods ends.

In a case where the quantity of goods exceeds the quantity of the restriction criterion according to one embodiment, the controller 120 can maintain the stoppage of the goods until the changed cause is removed, and if the cause is removed, Can be released.

For example, if the user obtains game money using an abnormal account, and the number of game money in the game exceeds the game money limit, the control unit 120 may detect the abnormal account by using a bot detection technique To identify abnormal accounts, to delete identified abnormal accounts, and to release the game money's transaction suspension.

By stopping the transaction of the goods until the cause of the change in the quantity of goods is eliminated, it is possible to maintain the economic value of the goods in the game and prevent the game balance caused by the goods from being hindered.

Also, by stopping the transaction of goods immediately according to the quantity of the goods, abnormal play can be immediately blocked.

If the change rate of the goods exceeds the change rate of the restriction criterion according to another embodiment, the controller 120 can discriminate whether the transaction suspension period determined according to the variation rate has passed or not. Can be released.

For example, when the rate of change of the game money exceeds 10%, which is the rate of change of the limit criterion, the controller 120 can discriminate whether the transaction stop period for the game money has exceeded 10 hours, You can release the transaction suspension for money.

Then, the control unit 120 can notify the manager of the suspension of the transaction or the resumption of the transaction.

For example, the control unit 120 can notify the manager of the reason for stopping the transaction of the goods, stop the transaction of the goods according to the input of the manager, or stop the transaction of the goods, .

Alternatively, for example, the control unit 120 can resume the transaction of goods according to the input of the manager by inquiring of the manager whether or not the reason for stopping the transaction of the goods is resolved, And then notify the administrator of the resumption of the transaction.

Meanwhile, the communication unit 130 can perform wired / wireless communication with other devices or networks. To this end, the communication unit 130 may include a communication module supporting at least one of various wired / wireless communication methods. For example, the communication module may be implemented in the form of a chipset.

The wireless communication supported by the communication unit 130 may be Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth, UWB (Ultra Wide Band), NFC (Near Field Communication), or the like. The wired communication supported by the communication unit 130 may be, for example, USB or High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI).

Various types of data such as files, applications, programs, and the like can be installed and stored in the memory 140. [ The control unit 120 may access the data stored in the memory 140 and use the data or store the new data in the memory 140. [ Also, the control unit 120 may execute a program installed in the memory 140. [ Referring to FIG. 1, a program for performing a goods transaction management method may be installed in the memory 140.

For example, the memory 140 may store at least one of a limiting quantity and a limiting variation that is a limiting criterion for stopping a transaction of a good in a game.

2 to 3 are flowcharts for explaining a goods transaction management method according to an embodiment.

The goods transaction management method according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 3 includes the steps of time series processing in the goods transaction management apparatus 10 shown in FIG. Therefore, even if omitted from the following description, the above description of the goods transaction management device 10 shown in FIG. 1 can also be applied to the goods transaction management method according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 3 .

2 is a flowchart showing a method of providing an item by the good transaction management apparatus 10, the good transaction management apparatus 10 can acquire the quantity of goods in the game (S2001).

In one embodiment, the good transaction management device 10 can acquire the goods held by the user playing the game.

For example, the goods transaction management apparatus 10 may acquire the quantity of items allocated to the user for each item used in the game in real time, or may acquire the quantity of each item at a predetermined cycle.

Alternatively, for example, the good transaction management device 10 may acquire the total amount of game money provided in the game space in real time or obtain the total amount of game money at a predetermined period.

In another embodiment, the good transaction management device 10 can acquire the quantity of goods attributable to the user through a transaction place (for example, a store) or a random item in the game.

For example, the good transaction management device 10 can monitor the shop and acquire the quantity of items to be sold to the user or purchased from the user.

In this way, the process of tracking the quantity of goods in the game is tracked and the quantity of the goods is counted, so that the reason why the quantity of goods is fluctuated when the quantity of the goods reaches the limit criterion can be quickly identified.

The goods transaction management apparatus 10 can stop the transaction of the goods based on the quantity of the goods obtained (S2002).

That is, the goods transaction management apparatus 10 may suspend the transaction of goods for a predetermined period according to whether the quantity of the acquired goods meets the criteria included in the restriction criterion.

For example, the goods transaction management apparatus 10 may suspend the transaction of a good if the quantity of the acquired good is changed at a rate of change higher than the rate of change included in the limit criterion.

Alternatively, for example, the goods transaction management device 10 may suspend the transaction of the goods if the quantity of the acquired goods exceeds the limit quantity.

Thereafter, when the transaction suspension period of the goods ends, the goods transaction management device 10 can release the transaction suspension of the goods (S2003).

That is, when the stop period of the goods whose transaction is stopped in the step S2002 is finished, the goods transaction management device 10 releases the transaction stop of the goods so that the goods are traded at the purchase place.

For example, the goods transaction management apparatus 10 can resume the sale of the 'Mithril Sword' in which the transaction has been suspended in the shop, or allow the transaction to be performed by transferring the attribution of the 'Mithril Sword' between the users.

Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the goods transaction management method will be described with reference to FIG. For the sake of convenience of explanation, the same contents as those described with reference to FIG. 2 will not be described.

First, the good transaction management device 10 can acquire the quantity of goods in the game (S3001).

Then, the goods transaction management apparatus 10 can determine whether the quantity of the acquired goods exceeds the limited quantity (S3002), and if the quantity of the goods exceeds the limited quantity, the goods transaction management device 10 transmits, The customer 10 can stop the transaction of the goods (S3003).

4 is an exemplary diagram showing data included in the restriction criterion stored in the goods transaction management device 10. [

Referring to this, the goods transaction management device 10 can stop the transaction of 'iron armor' if the quantity of 'iron armor' which is the rare grade item 401 exceeds the quantity of '100' . Alternatively, the good transaction management device 10 may suspend the transaction of 'gold coins' if the 'gold coins' 402, which is the total issued game money in the game, exceeds a limited amount of 1 trillion won.

Alternatively, if the quantity of goods does not exceed the limited quantity, the goods transaction management apparatus 10 may calculate the quantity variation rate of the goods and determine whether the quantity variation exceeds the limit variation rate (S3004). If the quantity variation rate of the goods exceeds the limit variation rate , The goods transaction management apparatus 10 may temporarily suspend the transaction of goods (S3005).

For example, if the quantity of 'iron armor' does not exceed the limit of '100', but if the rate of change of quantity during 1 day of unit time is 50%, which exceeds the limit change rate of 5% ) May temporarily suspend the transaction of 'iron armor'.

At this time, according to the embodiment, the goods transaction management device 10 may determine a period in which the transaction of the predetermined goods is temporarily suspended according to the rate of change in the quantity of goods.

4, if the number of the rare items 401 is 10, but the number of the rare items 401 increases to fifteen per day, and the rate of change is 50% and the limited change rate exceeds 5%, the goods transaction management device 10 may suspend the transaction for 50 hours applying the change rate of 50% of the goods during the longest period of '100 hours' 403 in which the transaction for the rare item 401 is temporarily stopped.

In this way, it is possible to minimize the inconvenience of the transaction restriction by flexibly adjusting the inconvenience caused by the restriction of the transaction of the goods by changing the transaction suspension period according to the variation rate.

On the other hand, the goods transaction management apparatus 10 may vary the scope of stopping the transaction of goods according to the embodiment.

According to one embodiment, the good transaction management device 10 can stop the transaction only for a specific item for which the transaction has been suspended, or stop the transaction for other items included in the category including the specific item for which the transaction has been suspended. have.

At this time, the item may be classified according to the category based on at least one of the purpose or grade of the item.

For example, an item can be classified into a rare item, a luxury item, a general item, a category, or an item, such as a weapon, an armor, or an accessory, depending on the grade of the item. Or, for example, items can be divided into rare weapons (weapons of rare items), advanced weapons (advanced weapons), and general weapons (general item weapons), based on the grade and purpose of the item.

5 is an exemplary diagram showing the classification of items. The goods transaction management apparatus 10 can stop the transaction of only the dragon 501 whose quantity exceeds the limited quantity or can stop the transaction of the dragon 501 and the dragon 501 It is possible to stop the transaction up to the mithril sword 503, which is another item belonging to the weapon 502.

According to another embodiment, the goods transaction management device 10 can stop the transaction of all items.

Referring to FIG. 5, when the transaction of the dragon check 501 is stopped, the goods transaction management device 10 can stop the transaction for all the items.

According to another embodiment, the goods transaction management device 10 can stop the function of the purchase place where the transaction can be traded. For example, the goods transaction management apparatus 10 can stop the sale of items in a shop that sells 'dragon swords' in which transactions are suspended, and the stores other than those that sell 'dragon swords' It may not be stopped.

Thus, by stopping the function of a specific shop or stopping a transaction of a specific item, it is possible to solve a problem caused by an abnormal transaction without stopping the game operation.

Meanwhile, the goods transaction management apparatus 10 can analyze the cause of the change in the quantity of goods (S3006).

According to one embodiment, the goods transaction management device 10 can analyze the reason that the quantity of goods corresponds to the limit criterion based on the quantity of goods that the user obtains.

For example, the goods transaction management apparatus 10 can identify the user who has acquired the goods whose transactions have been suspended through step S3002 or step S3004, and compare the quantity of the goods acquired for each user, The cause can be analyzed.

According to another embodiment, the goods transaction management device 10 can analyze the reason that the quantity of goods corresponds to the limit criterion based on the quantity of goods attributed to the user.

For example, the goods transaction management apparatus 10 can analyze the process in which the goods whose transactions are suspended are attributed to the user, and is provided through the route in which the user acquires the goods. Can be analyzed.

Through this analysis, the goods transaction management apparatus 10 can identify whether the cause of the quantity of goods corresponding to the limit criterion is the abnormal play (S3007), and if the abnormal play is caused, the cause is removed (S3008).

According to one embodiment, when the user acquires the goods through abnormal play using the bug of the game, the goods transaction management device 10 can notify the manager of the game about the bug.

For example, if the goods transaction management apparatus 10 identifies a bot account as an analyzed cause through steps S3006 to S3007, it can notify the administrator of the suspicious account of the bot account, You can block bot accounts.

Alternatively, for example, when it is analyzed that the user has obtained an item using a bug of the game, the good transaction management device 10 can notify the manager of the path that the user acquired the item and notify the manager of the bug .

Accordingly, when the quantity or the variation rate of a specific item in a game exceeds a preset reference value, the transaction of the goods can be stopped to prevent a specific item from spreading in the game.

The goods transaction management apparatus 10 can update the restriction criterion based on the cause of the change in the quantity of the goods identified in the step S3006 (S3009).

That is, if the quantity of goods in the normal play process corresponds to the limit criterion in step S3007, the goods transaction management device 10 can increase the rate of change of the quantity of the limit criterion or the limit criterion.

For example, when the number of 'iron armor', which is a rare item, is increased due to an increase in the number of users in the game, the goods transaction management apparatus 10 increases the quantity of restriction standards for 'iron armor' .
