Referring to FIG. 1, the game system 100 provides a game service to a plurality of game user terminals 130 through the game server 110. The game system 100 includes a game server 110, a network 120, and game user terminals 130, and the game server 110 and game user terminals 130 are connected to a network 120 (for example, the Internet). ) To communicate with each other.

The game server 110 may perform an authentication procedure for the game user terminal 130 requesting access to execute the game program, and provide a game service to the game user terminal 130 that has been authenticated. The game server 110 may include an artificial intelligence game guild service providing apparatus described herein.

The game user who wants to play the game executes a game application (or game program) installed in the game user terminal 130 and requests connection to the game server 110. The game user terminal 130 is a computing device that enables game users to access a game through an online connection, for example, a cellular phone, smart phone, personal computer, laptop, notebook, netbook, tablet or personal digital assistant (personal digital) assistant; PDA).

In the case of online games, game users can form a game guild as a community. The game guild has a game guild master who runs the game guild, and the game guild master provides various game guild services to members of the game guild. However, some game users have not yet experienced such a game guild and are not active in the game guild, or in the case of newly entered game users, it may be possible to play the game alone without joining the existing game guild. For example, new game users who have just started playing a game with interest without information about the game, the game is fun after being isolated and selfless and playing helplessly without other game users who can play the game together or without help. And can lose interest and escape. In addition, there may be a case where the game guild does not operate normally because the existing game guild master is removed from the game guild. In all of these cases, it can be a factor that reduces the fun and interest of the game and lowers the game retention rate of the game user.

The artificial intelligence game guild service providing method and apparatus of the present invention can solve the above problems. The artificial intelligence game guild service providing method and apparatus use the neural network-based artificial intelligence game guild master (hereinafter referred to as “game guild master”) to form and operate the artificial intelligence game guild. The AI game guild master invites game users who have not yet registered (or joined) to the game guild to the AI game guild, and can provide various game guild services to game users registered in the AI game guild. Through this, as the game user newly entering the game does not form a relationship with other game users and progresses the game play in an isolated state, it is possible to prevent the phenomenon of early departure because the game does not experience the interest and fun of the game. . In addition, the game user can easily experience the game guild activity and grow with the game users having similar game character levels, thereby giving the game user strong motivation for game play. Meanwhile, when a game guild master operated by a specific game user is deviated from the existing game guild, the AI game guild master may temporarily function as a game guild master of the corresponding game guild.

Hereinafter, an artificial intelligence game guild service providing method and apparatus will be described in more detail. AI game guild service is played by large-scale game users, such as Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG), Massive Multiplayer Online Simulation Game (MMOSLG), Massive Multi-player Online Social Network Game (MMOSNG), etc. It can be implemented in the game. Meanwhile, the present invention can be applied not only to the network-based game system 100 as shown in FIG. 1, but also to a personal computer-based game program or a video console-based game program.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a method for providing an AI game guild service according to an embodiment. The method for providing an AI game guild service may be performed by the apparatus for providing an AI game guild service described herein.

Referring to FIG. 2, in step 210, the AI game guild service providing apparatus may train a neural network-based AI game guild master based on guild activity data of game guilds in the game. The neural network is a model in which artificial neurons (or nodes) that form a network by combining synapses have a problem solving ability by changing the intensity of synaptic binding through learning. In this specification, “learning” may refer to machine learning, which is a process of adjusting parameters of a neural network in a desired direction based on training data. Through the learning process, the neural network parameters are automatically determined based on guild activity data of other game guilds, without the designer having to directly input the functions and authority of the AI game guild master.

For learning of the game guild master, guild activity data of activated game guilds can be used as learning data. The guild activity data of game guilds may include, for example, data on content usage patterns of game guilds activated in the game and data on social activities in game guilds. The AI game guild master learns the optimal guild activity from the guild activities of the activated game guilds. The rules of operation of the AI game guild may be determined through the learning process.

In step 220, the AI game guild service providing device may transmit an invitation message to the AI game guild controlled and operated by the AI game guild master to the game user terminal. The apparatus for providing an AI game guild service may select one or more game users to receive an invitation message from among all game users. In one embodiment, the apparatus for providing an AI game guild service satisfies a preset condition (eg, the game character level is 20 or more) of the game character level of the game user, but the game user is not registered in the game guild in the game. If not, the game user can be selected as a game user to receive the invitation message. The AI game guild service providing device has a game character level capable of starting a guild activity by registering the game guild after the game user starts the game, but if the game guild activity is not started, an invitation message is sent to the game user Can transmit. In one embodiment, the invitation message may be implemented as an interface for inquiring whether or not the game user will register for the AI game guild.

In step 230, the AI game guild service providing device may determine whether an acceptance message is received from the game user terminal to accept the invitation to the AI game guild in response to the transmitted invitation message.

When the acceptance message is received from the game user terminal, in step 240, the AI game guild service providing apparatus may register the game character of the game user as a member of the AI game guild (ie, a guild member). When the game user who receives the invitation message selects to register for the AI game guild, the game user is registered in the AI game guild operated by the AI game guild master. Game users can easily and easily join the AI game guild to make game friends and play games with game friends even when there are no game friends to play the game together.

In step 250, the AI game guild service providing device provides an AI game guild service to game characters of game users registered in the AI game guild (or other existing game guilds) using the AI game guild master. You can. The AI game guild master may provide the optimal guild activity learned in step 210 to game users registered in the AI game guild. The AI game guild master may provide a game guild service to game characters of game users registered in the AI game guild according to the operation rules of the AI game guild determined in the learning process. The AI game guild master can control the guild activity of the AI game guild based on the guild activity of the game guild learned through learning.

In one embodiment, the game guild master may perform game guild services such as support, activity, recommendation, replacement, and the like. The game guild service of 'support' includes, for example, generating an event for supporting resources to game users registered in the AI game guild, or generating an event for supporting participation in game guild content participation. The game guild service of 'activity' includes, for example, generating an event for allowing game users registered in the AI game guild to participate in game guild content such as game guild competition and / or game guild federation. The AI game guild master can apply to participate in game guild content (e.g., game guild contest, occupation, siege, etc.), similar to the authority of other game guild game guild masters.

The game recommendation service of 'recommended' is, for example, generating an event for recommending a game user who has reached a certain game character level among game users registered in the AI game guild to another game guild having high activity. Includes. In one embodiment, when a game guild recommended by the artificial intelligence game guild is registered as a game guild member by a higher game guild targeted for recommendation, that is, the recommended game user is different in response to an event for recommendation. When registered in the game guild, an event for providing a predefined reward to another game guild in the upper level may be executed. In addition, the AI game guild master is an AI game guild, if the growth rate of the game character of a specific guild member is fast, to recommend the guild member to another game guild (game guild operated by a specific game user) that matches the level of the guild member A recommendation message may be transmitted or recommendation information on a higher game guild may be provided to a corresponding guild member.

The 'Alternative' game guild service, for example, when a game guild master (operated by a specific game user) detects a departure from a specific game guild, until the new game guild master of the game guild is determined, AI game guild The master is designated as the game guild master of the corresponding game guild to perform the role of the game guild master.

In addition, the AI game guild master can perform various game guild activities in the AI game guild. For example, the AI game guild master may notify the guild members of the AI game guild before the game guild's cooperative content is opened. The AI game guild master can announce guild content during the time when the guild members of the AI game guild are most active. The AI game guild master can assist guild members of the AI game guild to participate in the cooperative content a lot when proceeding with the cooperative content.

In addition, the AI game guild master may withdraw or replace the guild members of the AI game guild. The AI game guild master decides that a game user who deviates from the AI game guild, like an actual game guild, is forced to withdraw from the AI game guild, and may register a new game user in the AI game guild. For example, the AI game guild master analyzes game play data for the guild members of the AI game guild to detect guild members who are playing games with non-manners, and forcibly ejects the detected guild members from the AI game guilds. You can reduce the damage that can be done to guild members.

In one embodiment, the AI game guild master may perform a function for inducing access to game services of guild members of the AI game guild. For example, the AI game guild master may determine whether to send a push message for requesting game access to the game user based on the game service usage data of the day of game users registered in the AI game guild. have. For example, when a specific guild member has not accessed the game service for a certain period of time, the AI game guild master may access the game and transmit a push message for requesting attendance of the game guild to the terminal of the guild member.

In another embodiment, the AI game guild master determines in advance the possibility of achieving the game guild content, and when the achievement possibility satisfies a preset condition, the game user's terminal sends a push message to induce the game user to participate in the game guild content You can also send to

In addition, the AI game guild master may provide differentiated rewards to each game user according to game guild activities of game users registered in the AI game guild. Alternatively, the AI game guild master may determine the type of reward to be provided to game users in consideration of the items and goods holding status of game users. For example, the AI game guild master may decide to reward goods rather than items to game users who lack goods.

As above, the AI game guild master creates an environment where game users registered in the AI game guild can feel the actual game guild activity. Through such an environment, game users newly introduced into the game may feel more fun in game play and become more familiar with the game play. In addition, through the AI game guild service, the case where the game user newly introduced into the game is isolated without social activity in the game is prevented, and the game user does not interfere with the game play of the game guild as in the tutorial. As a member, it is possible to increase the game character's survival rate by making the game character grow while having fun playing the game. Since game users newly introduced into the game can feel interesting and fun in the game through the AI game guild service, the game residual rate can be increased, and the residual rate is increased, so the cost of attracting and securing game users can be reduced. have.

Referring to FIG. 3, the apparatus for providing an AI game guild service generates log data by data 310 of guild activities of game guilds in a game, and collects game activity data of game guilds based on the log data (320) can do. The AI game guild service providing apparatus may train the AI game guild master 330 based on the collected game activity data. The AI game guild service providing device may train the AI game guild master 330 such that the AI game guild master 330 simulates the role of the game guild master of the game guild, or enhances the activity as a guild master. AI game guilds may be generated based on the learned AI game guild master 330. Even after the AI game guild is created, the AI game guild master can continue to learn. There may be multiple AI game guilds and AI game guild masters 330 in the game.

The AI game guild master 330 may invite a game user who plays a game to an AI game guild operated by the AI game guild master 330 without registering (or joining) the game guild. The AI game guild master 330 transmits an invitation message to an AI game guild to the terminal of the corresponding game user, and when receiving an acceptance message from the terminal of the game user, the game user is a guild member of the AI game guild You can register as

The AI game guild master 330 may automatically provide interactions that can provide interest in game play to game users registered in the AI game guild. In one embodiment, the AI game guild master 330 provides interactions such as “support”, “activity” and “recommendation” to game users 340 registered for the first time in the AI game guild, and other existing games Interactions such as "alternatives" may be provided to game users registered in the guild. In this embodiment, game user A 342, game user B 344, game user C 346, and game user D 350 may each be a group of game users having similar tendencies or similar situations.

An example in which the AI game guild master 330 provides an interaction of "support" to the game user A 342 will be described. It is assumed that the game user A 342 is, for example, a game user who lacks resources or goods because there are no game friends to play the game together. In this case, the AI game guild master 330 invites the game user A 342 to his AI game guild, and provides resources or goods to the game user A 342 registered in the AI game guild according to the guild activity. I can apply.

An example in which the AI game guild master 330 provides an interaction of “activity” to the game user B 344 will be described. It is assumed that the game user B 344 wants to play the game guild competition, for example, but is a game user who cannot join the game guild. In this case, the AI game guild master 330 invites the game user B 344 to his AI game guild, and another game having a similar game character level to the game user B 344 registered in the AI game guild Introducing users, and providing guild content of the game guild competition.

An example in which the AI game guild master 330 provides "recommended" interaction to the game user C 346 registered in the AI game guild will be described. Assume that the game user C 346 wants to enjoy game guild content of a higher level than, for example, game guild content provided by the AI game guild, and wants to meet a game user having a higher game character level. In this case, the AI game guild master 330 may recommend the game user C 346 to the game user C 346 to a specific game user or another game guild of a higher level operated by another AI game guild master.

An example in which the AI game guild master 330 provides "alternative" interaction to the game user D 350 of another game guild will be described. It is assumed that the game user D 350 belongs to another existing game guild, for example, but it is difficult for the guild master of the corresponding game guild to get out and receive game guild contents. In this case, the AI game guild master 330 may temporarily act as a game guild master of the game guild until a new guild master of the game guild is determined, and registered in the game guild while performing the role Game guild content can be provided to game users.

4 is a diagram for explaining a process of learning an AI game guild master and generating an AI game guild according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 4, in step 410, the artificial intelligence game guild service providing device may analyze log data for guild activity data of game guilds activated in the game. The AI game guild service providing device may configure a learning element of the AI game guild master based on the guild activity data. In step 420, the AI game guild service providing apparatus may train the AI game guild master based on the analysis result in step 410. Through the learning process, the AI game guild master can learn the game guild content structure of other game guilds activated in the game and main features of the game guilds. In step 430, the AI game guild service providing device may generate the AI game guild designated by the learned AI game guild master. The main characteristics of other learned game guilds can be reflected in the AI game guild.

In step 440, the AI game guild is operated by the AI game guild master. AI Game Guild Master provides various game guild activities to game users registered in AI game guild. In step 450, the AI game guild service providing device may analyze log data for the guild activity data of the AI game guild. In step 460, the AI game guild service providing device may analyze game play characteristics of members of the AI game guild and train the AI game guild master based on the analysis result. Through the learning process, the AI game guild master can learn access patterns and game play patterns of game users registered in the AI game guild. Within the AI game guild, which consists of the invitation of the AI game guild master, the AI game guild master learns the gameplay characteristics of game users registered in the AI game guild, and based on the game play pattern of each game user member, the AI You can run a game guild.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of learning an AI game guild master according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5, a process of learning a game guild activity or action from an AI game guild master is illustrated.

In step 510, the artificial intelligence game guild service providing device analyzes log data for guild activity data of other game guilds in the game. For example, the artificial intelligence game guild service providing device classifies the game guild to be aimed at or avoided by the AI game guild master based on the game guild score of each game guild existing in the game, and based on the classification result Can be labeled.

In one embodiment, a method for selecting an in-game game guild for obtaining learning data is as follows. For example, assume that log data for the game guild as shown in Table 1 below is analyzed.

Game Guild Name Guild number Retention period Guild members
Average daily attendance rate Daily average of guild members
Game play time A 30 people 31 days 90% 3 hours B 10 people 16 days 70% 2 hours C 5 people 1 day 80% 1 hours

Scaling of game guild state variables of game guilds and scores for each game guild may be calculated for the above log data. For example, the scaling process of the game guild state variable is the process of calculating the maximum value and the minimum value for each game guild state variable, and using the calculated maximum and minimum values, the value of the game guild state variable is a value between 0 and 1. It may include a scaling process. For example, the scaling result value may be determined according to Equation 1 below.

For example, the score calculation value for each game guild may be determined by Equation 2 below.

According to another embodiment, the apparatus for providing an AI game guild service may set different weights according to characteristics of a game guild state variable. In this case, the game guild score can be calculated as in Equation 3 below.

In Equation 3, the first weight, the second weight,… The total sum of n-th weights may be “1”. Here, n corresponds to the total number of game guild state variables.

Candidates for game guild state variables that can be used to calculate game guild scores can vary. The game guild score may be calculated based on the first state variable related to the state of the game guild and the second state variable related to the activity of the guild members of the game guild. Here, the first state variable includes, for example, the number of guild members in the game guild, the duration of the game guild, the level of the game guild, the average level of the character in the guild member, the average life time of the guild member, and the elapsed period and game after joining the guild member's average game guild Guild bounce rate, etc. may be included. The second state variable may include, for example, a daily average attendance rate of guild members, a daily average play time, a daily average cooperative content participation rate, a play time change rate after joining a game guild, and a game guild chat use time.

Table 2 below shows an example of the result of scaling the game guild state variables and calculating scores for each game guild.

Game Guild Name Guild number Retention period Average daily attendance rate of guild members Average game play time per day for guild members Game guild score A One One One One One B 0.2 0.5 0 0.5 0.3 C 0 0 0.5 0 0.125

In one embodiment, the AI game guild service providing apparatus may select and label a reference game guild for learning the AI game guild master based on the game guild score. For example, labeling may be performed as shown in Table 3 below.

Game Guild Name Guild number maintain
term Average daily attendance rate of guild members Average game play time per day for guild members Game guild score Label A One One One One One One B 0.2 0.5 0 0.5 0.3 0 C 0 0 0.5 0 0.125 0

For example, the AI game guild service providing device may label the game guild to be referenced in the learning of the AI game guild master as "1", and the game guild not to be referenced as "". According to the labeling result, game guild data to be referred as a desirable game guild master's role and game guild data to be referred as an undesirable game guild master's role can be distinguished. The service providing device selects a game guild (for example, game guilds having a game guild score of 0.9 or higher) to refer to by using the absolute value of the game guild score, or based on the game guild score, the top x game guilds (for example For example, game guild scores are included in the top 100, or game guilds included in the top y% based on game guild scores (e.g., game guild scores are included in the top 10%) Game guilds).

In step 520, the artificial intelligence game guild service providing apparatus may analyze interaction data for each game guild with respect to game guilds to be classified classified in step 510. The AI game guild service providing apparatus may extract interaction data between the game guild master and game guild members for each game guild, and analyze the extracted interaction data.

In one embodiment, the apparatus for providing an AI game guild service may analyze daily interaction data between the game guild master and the guild member of the game guild. The interaction data between the game guild master and the guild member of the game guild may be composed of, for example, two-dimensional data as shown in Table 4 below.

Elapsed period after game guild registration Guild One Character Level Game Guild Reward Raid invitation Raid attendance Guild One 1 One 5 One 0 0 Guild One 2 3 7 One 0 One Guild One 3 3 10 One One 0 Guild One 4 7 20 0 One One Vacancies (unregistered guild members) 0 0 0 0 0

In Table 4, the elapsed period after registering the game guild, the character level of the guild member, whether the game guild reward is provided, whether the game guild raid is invited, or whether the game guild raid is attended corresponds to the contents of the interaction data. Guild members that the guild member has not signed up to may be marked with information about vacancy. The candidates for variables in the interaction data are the first variable related to the guild member status of the game guild and the interaction between the game guild master and the guild member of the game guild. It may include a second variable associated with. The first variable is, for example, the elapsed period after the guild member joins the game, the elapsed period after the guild member registers the game guild, the guild member's character level, retained goods, item payment history, the guild member's character combat power, and the guild member's stage progression, etc. It may include. The second variables include, for example, whether and how many times the game guild reward is provided, whether and how many times the game guild raid is invited, whether and how many times the game guild raid is attended, whether and how many times the game guild master applies to the guild member, and how the guild member gives the game guild master It may include whether or not to apply for a conversation, and whether to donate / donate / donate money to the game guild. The apparatus for providing an AI game guild service may analyze the first variable related to the guild member state of the game guild and the second variable related to the interaction between the game guild master and the guild member of the game guild.

In step 530, the artificial intelligence game guild service providing apparatus may generate learning data for learning the game guild master of artificial intelligence based on the result of the interaction data analysis in step 520.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing an artificial intelligence game guild service for a new game user according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6, in step 610, the apparatus for providing an AI game guild service may detect a game user that is an object of registration of the AI game guild. For example, the apparatus for providing an AI game guild service may detect game users whose level of the game character has reached a preset level as a registration target of the AI game guild.

In step 620, the artificial intelligence game guild service providing apparatus determines whether the detected game user is registered in the existing game guild. If it is determined that the game user is registered in the existing game guild, the game user only needs to be active in the registered existing game guild, and the procedure is terminated because it is not the target of the AI game guild.

In step 620, if it is determined that the corresponding game user is not registered in the existing game guild, the AI game guild service providing device is greater than n (preset natural number) of current game users registered in the AI game guild. You can judge whether there are many.

If the number of game users registered in the AI game guild is more than n, in step 640, the AI game guild service providing device generates a new AI game guild for game users not registered in the game guild. You can do As described above, the apparatus for providing an AI game guild service may determine whether to generate a new AI game guild based on the number of game users registered in the existing AI game guild.

In one embodiment, the conditions for creating an AI game guild are as follows.

AI game guilds can be created under the same conditions as other game guilds (eg, maximum guild members, game guild experience). AI game guild masters of AI game guilds can learn the activities of other game guilds at higher levels within the game. For example, the AI game guild master may learn the usage time of each of the game guild contents, the frequency and number of repetitions of each of the game guild contents, and the reward of each of the game guild contents.

AI game guild masters of AI game guilds can also learn the activities of registered game users through invitations to AI game guilds. For example, AI game guild masters learn game users' access time to games, priority for game content play (game item collection, game goods collection, player versus player (PVP) preference, player versus environment (PVE) preference, etc. can do.

In one embodiment, the new AI game guild, other previously created AI game guilds do not accept the game user as a game guild member, and the number of unregistered game users in the game guild is half the limit of the maximum game guild member Can be generated when For example, existing AI game guilds will have an allowable number of game guild members, and the number of game users that are registered as AI game guilds is large, so the previously created AI game guilds will not allow all game users. May not. In this case, when the number of game users that are targets for registration of the AI game guild exceeds a certain number, it is determined to create a new AI game guild, and the learning process of the AI game guild master is performed to create a new AI game guild The AI game guild master after learning is completed may be assigned to the new AI game guild, or the previously learned game guild master may be assigned to the new AI game guild.

In step 630, if it is determined that the number of game users registered in the AI game guild is not more than n, the AI game guild service providing apparatus in step 650 selects any one of the existing AI game guilds Then, the game user can be organized in the selected AI game guild.

In step 660, the AI game guild master performed by the AI game guild service providing device may transmit an invitation message for registering the AI game guild to the terminal of the corresponding game user. In step 665, the AI game guild service providing apparatus may determine whether an acceptance message for registration of the AI game guild is received from the game user terminal in response to the invitation message transmitted to the game user terminal.

If an acceptance message is received, in step 670, the AI game guild service providing device registers the game user with the AI game guild, and the AI game guild master can provide the AI game guild service to the game user. have. Accordingly, the AI game guild master can provide AI game guild support and activities to game users registered in the AI game guild. At this time, the weight of the AI game guild master's support and activity role depends on the learning outcome of the AI game guild master.

According to an embodiment, in step 665, the AI game guild service providing apparatus may not receive an acceptance message from the game user terminal, but may instead receive a registration request message for another game guild from the game user terminal. If it is determined in step 665 that the acceptance message for the registration of the AI game guild is not received from the user terminal, in step 680, the AI game guild service providing device receives a registration request message for another game guild It can be judged whether or not. If a registration request message for another game guild is received, the artificial intelligence game guild service providing apparatus may recommend the game user to another game guild in step 690.

7 is a flowchart illustrating an example in which the AI game guild master according to an embodiment recommends a game user to another game guild.

Referring to FIG. 7, in step 710, the apparatus for providing an AI game guild service may detect that a vacancy occurs in a specific game guild actually operated by a game user in a game.

In step 720, the AI game guild master performed by the AI game guild service providing device may select a recommendation target to be recommended to the specific game guild among game users registered in the AI game guild. For example, if the specific game guild in which the vacancy occurs is called Game Guild A, the AI game guild master can analyze game Guild A related data and select a game user meeting the game guild A's guild member qualifications as a recommendation target.

If the guild member qualification condition of the game guild A does not exist, the AI game guild master may select a game user having characteristics similar to those of game users belonging to the game guild A as a recommendation target. For example, the AI game guild master selects game users with characteristics similar to the average level or average combat power of game characters played by game users belonging to game guild A, or characteristics of the average activity amount of the game users. You can.

As another example, the AI game guild master may preferentially determine a recommendation target by assigning a recommendation weight to a corresponding game user when the propensity of the game user, which is a candidate for recommendation, is similar to that of the game guild A. The tendency of the game user considered here may be, for example, whether the game user is a goods collection type, an item collection type, a PVP preferred type, a cooperative gameplay seeking type, or a character level preferred type.

In step 730, the AI game guild master may transmit a recommendation message to the game guild to recommend the game user of the recommendation target to the game guild where the vacancy occurred. In step 740, the AI game guild master checks whether the recommended game user is registered as a game guild member of the corresponding game guild. If the recommended game user is registered as a game guild member, the AI game guild master may request an event command for reward payment to the game server so that the game guild that accommodates the recommended game user is rewarded. The game server that has received the event command may execute the event command in step 750 and provide a reward related to the target game guild.

In step 820, the AI game guild service providing device may allocate the AI game guild master to the above game guild, and set the AI game guild master to operate the game guild. The AI game guild master assigned to the corresponding game guild can apply for participation in game guild contents (for example, game guild competition, occupation, siege, etc.) at the same level as the previous game guild master operated by a specific game user.

In one embodiment, when the AI game guild master is determined to operate the game guild, the artificial intelligence game guild service providing device transmits a notification message for notifying the guild members of the game guild to game user terminals of the guild members You can. Meanwhile, the AI game guild master may provide a function for determining a new game guild master of the corresponding game guild. For example, the AI game guild master may perform functions such as registering a game guild master candidate, voting, counting, and notifying.

In step 830, the AI game guild service providing device may determine whether a new game guild master is determined in a game guild temporarily operated by the AI game guild master. The AI game guild service providing device may check whether the selection of the new game guild master has been completed. If a new game guild master is determined, in step 840, the AI game guild service providing device may terminate the function of the AI game guild master assigned to the game guild. Accordingly, the role of the AI game guild master in the game guild ends.

As in the present embodiment, when a specific game user acts as a game guild master and the game guild master leaves (or withdraws) from the game guild, the AI game guild master is replaced by the game guild master in the game guild instead Can work.
