According to some embodiments, when a withdrawal request is received, the server may determine whether there are goods entrusted by the user account and determine whether the entrustment period has passed. If the time when the withdrawal request is received does not exceed the consignment period, the server may grant a penalty to the user account. In addition, according to some embodiments, a penalty may be differently given according to a non-compliance period of the consignment period.

Referring to FIG. 9, the second table 920 shows a penalty when the non-compliance period is within one tenth of the consignment period. The server may set 10% of the total amount of consigned goods as the recovered quantity, which is the amount not returned to the user account among the consigned goods quantity, and the compensation may provide the same compensation as the previously set compensation.

In addition, referring to the third table 930, when the non-compliance period is 1/10 or more of the consignment period, 20% of the total consignment goods quantity may be set as the recovered quantity, and the previously set compensation may not be provided. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above example, and the server may set differently whether to provide compensation and set the number of collections according to predetermined criteria.

10 is a flowchart of a method of changing an existing selected reward according to some embodiments.

In step 1020, the server may determine whether the user account has the right to request compensation change.

According to some embodiments, the authority to request compensation change may be obtained when a user account satisfies a predetermined criterion. For example, the authority to request compensation change may be obtained when the user account purchases free goods or paid goods, participates in a predetermined event, or completes a predetermined quest.

According to some embodiments, when the server receives a request to change a reward from a user terminal, the server determines whether the user account corresponding to the user terminal has the right to request compensation change, and if the user does not have the right to request compensation change, the process proceeds to step 1030. If it has the right to request compensation change, the process may proceed to step 1050.

In step 1030, the server may inform that it is impossible to change the reward.

According to some embodiments, the server may notify that the user account does not have the authority to request compensation change, so that the compensation change is not possible. In addition, the server may inform the method of obtaining the right to request compensation change together.

In step 1040, the server may provide an existing reward.

According to some embodiments, if the user account does not additionally acquire the authority to request compensation change, the server may provide the existing compensation. The existing reward may be a reward selected when consigning goods.

In step 1050, the server may provide a compensation change interface.

According to some embodiments, the server may provide an interface for changing the reward because the user account has the authority to request the reward change. The reward change interface may include information about a reward that the user can select.

According to some embodiments, the user terminal may receive user input through the compensation change interface, and provide the server with information regarding compensation that the user wants to change based on the received user input. The server may change the reward to be provided to the user based on the information about the voice that the received user wants to change.

In step 1060, the server may provide the changed reward. That is, the server may provide the changed reward, which the user account has reselected.

Of course, whether to retain the right to request compensation change in step 1020 of FIG. 10 may be omitted according to implementation. That is, the server may allow the user account to reselect the reward immediately if the user account pays an additional fee.

In other words, if the user account performs a payment process for paying a certain amount of game goods or a certain amount of real goods during withdrawal of game goods or commissioning of game goods, does the server have a separate compensation change request right? It is also possible to provide the compensation requested to be changed based on the compensation change request without determining.

For example, when withdrawing a game good, the server obtains a user input that wants to change and reselect the reward through the user terminal, the user account pays an additional cost, and the previously selected reward is another reward. If you change, you can provide the changed reward.

Of course, the server may be set to change the reward at any time without paying an additional amount, and if a certain condition (for example, completing a quest, achieving an achievement, reaching a predetermined level) is satisfied without paying an additional amount of the reward You can also allow changes.
