According to an embodiment, the game content sharing experience service request may be made through a user interface (UI) provided in a running game screen of the corresponding game terminal 10. For example, referring to FIG. 3, a game game screen 310 is provided on the first game terminal 10 by a game client, and a game content sharing experience request is requested to one area of the game screen 310. A button 320 is provided. Here, the game screen 310 may include a game screen of any state being executed. For example, the game screen 310 may include a screen or a state provided by a game client after a game is executed on any screen, such as a home screen, a weapon reinforcement screen, or a specific map selection screen of a corresponding game. In the case of a service for reinforcing a weapon surrogate among services that can be shared and experienced while playing a game in the first game terminal 10, as shown in FIG. 410 may be provided. 3 and 4 illustrate a request for a game content sharing experience service through a user interface (UI) in the form of a key button, but is not limited thereto. According to another embodiment, voice commands, gestures, or game terminals through voice recognition The request may also be made through predefined motion recognition.

For convenience of description with FIG. 4, assuming that the game content requested for the sharing experience service is a weapon proxy enhancement service, when the standby enhancement request button 410 is pressed with reference to FIG. 4A in relation to operation 203, As shown in (b) of FIG. 4, the user interface 422 and 424 for setting the proxy reinforcement request or the user selection user interface as shown in (c) of FIG. 4 may be directly provided. In (b) and (c) of FIG. 4, the user interface related to the selection of the person to be shared may be implemented by referring to contents of an SNS application such as a phone book and a messenger application of a corresponding terminal in which a game client is installed. Alternatively, this operation may be performed by the game server 20. For example, when the game client of the terminal 10 recognizes the game content sharing experience service request of the player, information such as the terminal which has been most recently contacted and the terminal which has been most contacted by communicating with the messenger application server in the terminal. The user interface may be configured to provide a user interface for receiving the received message and assisting the selection of the share target. When the user interface is configured, various information such as gender, age, current time, and location of the game terminal 10 player may be considered together and used for selecting a target audience.

Referring to FIG. 4A, in order to implement various characteristics of an item provided by the game server 20 in the online game through the aforementioned game engine, each item is applied as a variable of the game engine and is different from each other. It has a plurality of attribute parameters separated by type. Some of the items used in the online game can be enhanced, which can be implemented by changing or adding attributes. This item reinforcement is the act of boosting the performance of items such as weapons in online games. For example, strengthening a one-handed sword item with a base attack power of 10 in an online game adds +1 attack power to a weapon with a total of 11 attack power. At this time, the enhanced one-handed sword is displayed in the same manner as 'one-handed sword +1'. If the item to be reinforced is armor, defense is added and the name is displayed as 'defense +1'. As another example, you can upgrade or add basic abilities such as Hit Rate, Damage, Recoil, or Continuous Fire by strengthening firearm items.

In addition to improving the basic ability of the item can also be considered an enhancement if you raise the item's rating. For example, if you succeed in strengthening a specific item in the online game item system, which is divided into general, magic, rare, hero, and legend ratings, the item's stats may be increased and the item's rating may be upgraded by one level. .

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 4B, the game terminal 10 may set options related to the game content sharing experience. For example, various options may be set according to game characteristics such as limiting the available experience time or selecting or canceling the experience according to the player or the setting of the game terminal 10. In addition, a shared experience password or the like may be set in order to prevent problems due to malfunction of the game client or the game server 20, mistakes of the player, and the like. The game content sharing experience control process according to this may be performed by the game server 20, the control operation is made based on the option for the game content sharing experience set by the first terminal, the option is the experience time, It may include at least one of a password, an experience map, and the number of experiences for the experience.

In operation 204, when the sharing experience target, that is, the second terminal 11, is selected through the game client of the first game terminal 10, the game client software may be installed on the second terminal 11. Determine if it is installed. Various methods for the determination may exist, but for convenience, the second terminal 11 simply determines whether to register with the game server 20 according to an embodiment. Most online games can be easily checked through the installation of game client software for the game play in the terminal and terminal information and the like are registered in the game server.

In general, in a terminal where game client software for the game is not installed, even if it is excluded from the shared experience target terminal (not provided in the list of sharing targets of FIG. 4C) or selected, the game client as in the first terminal 10 may be selected. Available only after installing and loading the software. However, according to one embodiment, as a result of the determination in operation 204, even if the shared experience target terminal 11 is registered in the game server 20, that is, a terminal without a game client installed, the game content sharing experience in the terminal 11. can do.

In operation 205, if it is determined as described above, the game server 20 may process as follows. As shown in FIG. 5, the game server 20 transmits access information for a game content sharing experience to the sharing experience target terminal 11. The game access information is link data including a URL. When the link data is accessed from the second terminal, the game access information may download an experience app that is a game client of a different version from the game client installed in the first terminal. The access information may include link data 510, such as a URL, for example, as shown in FIG. 5. In this case, if the link data 510 is implemented only as text data, it is difficult for the person to be shared to recognize the access information, so that the related graphic or image data 520 may be provided together. When the URL 510 or the graphic data 520 is clicked, the access information is provided so that the experience app can be downloaded from an app store, and the terminal 11 downloads and executes the experience app. You can enjoy sharing experience service. In the above description, the experience app means another version of the game client software described above.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the game object may be used as a sealed state, but may be set according to game characteristics such as being stored in a separate inventory such as a moveable, non-transactable state or an experience sharing system storage, and processed to be invisible from the corresponding inventory. For example, the game item may be evaporated to death while sharing the experience, but if the corresponding event occurs, the experience result may not be reflected.

When the game content sharing experience ends in operation 207, the game server 20 may reflect the game content sharing experience result of the target terminal 11 to the server and the player of the game content sharing experience terminal 10. In operations 206 to 207, the game server 20 receives the experience result packet of the target terminal 11 after the period / aperiod or the end of the experience. The reception may be implemented, for example, in the form of an update in a separate database such as an admin tool or a repair application process in the game server 20. In addition, the experience result packet may be limited to change the limited attribute of the object existing DBID or may improve the security through packet encryption or verification.

The game server 20 first recognizes the experience request terminal 10, and when processing the experience sharing data, that is, the result through the experience result packet, processes the effect promised to the game client or gives a notification and changes the warehouse. You can also change the state of the game object to suit your game's characteristics.

The game server 20 controls the second terminal 11 to temporarily delegate ownership of the game item to the player of the second terminal 11 when the second terminal 11 accepts, for example, a proxy reinforcement request of the game item. . The delegation of ownership is such that the ownership of the game item is still owned by the player of the first terminal 10, but only the player of the second terminal 11 temporarily has the authority to strengthen the game item. For this purpose, information about the surrogate enhancer can be added and managed as an item attribute. Accordingly, the proxy reinforcement enforcer can perform play for reinforcement of the corresponding item without logging in with the ID of the item owner.

In operation 210, when the proxy reinforcement is completed by the play of the second terminal 11 player who performs the item proxy reinforcement, the game server 20 may determine whether the proxy reinforcement succeeds or fails. By generating a notification message and transmitting to the player of the first terminal 10 to inform the surrogate reinforcement request result of the surrogate reinforcement request, release the ownership of the game item to take ownership of the game item back to the player of the first terminal 10 Return to be attributed. At this time, it is possible to process the return of ownership of the game item by resetting the surrogate enhancer information of the property of the item.
