In this case, the image retrieval unit 142 may select an image of another user having the best result value among the play images of the other user as the guide image. The image search unit 142 may present the play images of other users to the user, and may receive a selection of the guide image directly from the user. To this end, the image retrieval unit 142 may provide information such as result values or other user IDs of the play images of the plurality of other users.

In addition, when the preferred other user is registered in advance from the user, the image search unit 142 may preferentially select an image of the preferred user from among the play images of the other user. On the contrary, when the non-preferred user is registered in advance from the user, the image search unit 142 excludes the non-preferred user's video from being selected as the guide image (for example, not to be searched). Can be set).

When the guide image is selected, the image search unit 142 may determine an essential element among images of other users. The image search unit 142 may set at least one of a character's weapon, level, attack power, defense power, and attributes as essential elements.

For example, when a weapon is set as an essential element, the image search unit 142 may have a different weapon (for example, if the user's weapon is different from the character's weapon among the images of another user having a high similarity with the user's play image). Window ', and when the weapon of another user is' bow'), the video may be excluded from being selected as the guide image.

When the attack force is set as an essential component, the image search unit 142 may be used by another user (for example, when the attack power of the character differs from the user's play image of another user with a high level of similarity by a certain level or more, for example, ' 100 ', and when the attack force of another user is' 300'), the video may be excluded from being selected as the guide image.

In addition, when the attribute of the character is set as an essential element, the image search unit 142 may display another user (for example, the character attribute of the user whose character attribute is different from the image of another user having a high similarity to the user's play video). Archer ', and the character attribute of another user is' wizard') may be excluded from being selected as the guide image.

The image search unit 142 may select a play image of another user corresponding to the play image of the user and output the play image to the guide image providing unit 143.

The guide image provider 143 may provide the play image of the selected other user as the guide image of the corresponding user. In this case, the guide image providing unit 143 may extract a key input value corresponding to the guide image of another user, and provide the extracted key input value to the user along with the guide image.

The guide image provider 143 may simultaneously provide a play image of the user and a play image of another user determined as the guide image on one screen. In addition, the guide image providing unit 143 cuts only a portion that is differentiated from the user's play image and provides a highlight image edited into a single image, or a key input value or character of another user's play image that is differentiated from the user's play image. The operation may be provided by adjusting other colors or brightness.

The guide image provider 143 may control the playback speed by the user when providing the guide image. In particular, when the guide image providing unit 143 lowers the reproduction speed of the guide image, the guide image providing unit 143 may acquire a desired play method through the guide image. In addition, the guide image providing unit 143 may provide the highlight image by adjusting the playback speed as in the guide image.

In this way, the game providing apparatus 100 may provide a play image of another user in a situation similar to the play situation of the user as a guide image.

For example, the guide image providing request event may be a request for providing a guide image from a user. In addition, the guide image providing request event is a state in which a user loses a game being played or a state in which a user's play result does not reach a predetermined target value (for example, when three stars are acquired in a specific stage, Bonus points, but only two or only one star).

In operation S330, when the guide image providing request event does not occur, the game providing apparatus 100 may end the operation.

As a result of checking in step S330, when the guide image providing request event occurs, the game providing apparatus 100 proceeds to step S340.

The game providing device 100 searches for a play video of another user similar to the play video of the user (S340).

The game providing device 100 determines whether a guide image is selected (S350). At this time, the game providing device 100 compares the result value of the play image of the user with the result value of the play images of other users, and selects the play image having a better result value than the result value of the user's play image as the guide image. Can be.

On the other hand, the game providing device 100 may have a plurality of play images having a similar situation to the user's play image, and having a better result value. In this case, the game providing device 100 may, for example, have the best playing result of another user, the play image of another user having the highest similarity to the play image of the user, and the number of key inputs for the key input value. Play videos of other users, play videos of other users who have completed playing in the shortest time, play videos of other users selected as users' favorite, and other users with the most rewards (items, scores, experience points, etc.) At least one of the play video may be selected as the guide video.

If it is determined in step S350 that the guide image is not selected, the game providing device 100 may notify the user that the guide image does not exist and terminate the operation. At this time, the game providing device 100 may be configured to request a notification to the user when the guide image is registered by another user, and when the play image of another user is registered for the play image for which the guide image is not provided to the user. You can also be notified.

As a result of the determination in step S350, when the guide image is selected, the game providing device 100 proceeds to step S360.

The game providing device 100 provides a guide image corresponding to the play image of the user and ends the operation.

As illustrated in FIG. 5, the game providing apparatus 100 may store first to fourth images, which are play images according to play of other users.

The game providing apparatus 100 may receive a request for providing a guide image corresponding to the play image from the user after the play image is stored for the user.

In this case, the game providing device 100 may select a guide image from among the first to fourth images stored by another user. To this end, the game providing apparatus 100 may search for an image having a similarity level equal to or greater than a predetermined criterion, for example, '0.7 (for example, when the similarity level is' 1 ', all similarities (100% match))'. Therefore, the game providing apparatus 100 may select a first image having a similarity '1' and a second image having a similarity '0.85'.

The game providing device 100 assumes that the result of the attack on the opponent's side of the user's play image is 70%, so that the game result is lost. In this case, the game providing device 100 may select a second image having a higher game result than the second image, but having a game result of “winning” instead of the second image.

As illustrated in FIG. 6, the game providing apparatus 100 selects a guide image of a first image, which is a play image of user A. FIG. In this case, the game providing device 100 may search for an image of another user in a situation similar to the first image as a guide image.

For example, referring to the first image, which is the play image of user A, the place where the game was played by the character in the first image is' Forest Road 2 ', the character's weapon is' Black Axe', and the level of the character is' 20 levels. In this case, the game result of the first image may be recorded as a 'defeat' because all the life energy of the user character is exhausted.

The game providing apparatus 100 may select a guide image from images of other users (user B, user C, user D, and user E). The game providing device 100 is a state in which an essential element is set as a 'weapon' of a character.

Since the second image, which is the play image of the user B, is 'Forest Road 3', the game construction apparatus 100 does not select the second image as the guide image when the guide image is searched because the second image is different from the play image of the user A.

In the third image, which is the play image of the user C, as in the first image, the place where the game is played is' forest road 2 ', the character's weapon is' black axe', and the character's level is '20 level '. However, since the game result is 'defeat' like the first image, the game providing device 100 does not select the third image as the guide image.

In the fourth image, which is the play image of the user D, as in the first image, the place where the game is played is 'Forest Road 2' and the character level is '20' level. However, User D's character's weapon is a meteor sword, which is different from User A's character Ax. In this case, since the weapon of the character in the play image of the user D is a meteor sword, the game providing device 100 has a better result value than the first image because of the victory, but the fourth image is not selected as the guide image. Do not.

In the fifth image, which is the play image of the user E, as in the first image, the place where the game is played is 'forest road 2', and the character's weapon is the 'black axe'. However, the level of the game character in the fifth image is '19 levels' unlike the first image, but the level of the character is not set as an essential element. In addition, the fifth image is that the game result is a victory.

Therefore, the game providing apparatus 100 may select the fifth image, which is the play image of the user E, as the guide image, and provide the fifth image as the guide image to the user A. FIG.
