In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the game information providing device 100 is implemented as a server-client system, but the game information providing device 100 is implemented as an electronic terminal 10 or as a server 20. may be implemented.

According to the embodiment, the game information providing device 100 stores various information related to game progress, such as game scenario information or item information, and acquires and records various events occurring in the game to enable time-sequential progress of the game. can do According to another embodiment, the game information providing device 100 is implemented as a device separate from the game providing device enabling the time-sequential progress of the game, and communicates information for performing the game information providing method with the game providing device. can be sent and received.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the game information providing device 100 according to the embodiment may include a communication unit 110, a control unit 120, a memory 130, and an input/output unit 140.

The communication unit 110 may perform wired/wireless communication with other electronic terminals or networks. For example, the communication unit 110 may communicate with a third server to transmit/receive various types of information for performing a game information providing method. To this end, the communication unit 110 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.

At this time, the wireless communication supported by the communication unit 110 may be, for example, Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth, UWB (Ultra Wide Band), or NFC (Near Field Communication). . In addition, wired communication supported by the communication unit 110 may be, for example, USB or High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI).

According to the embodiment, when the game information providing device 100 is configured as a server, the communication unit 110 may transmit the calculation result according to the execution of the game information providing method to the electronic terminal used by the game player.

Meanwhile, the control unit 120 controls the overall operation of the game information providing device 100, and may include a processor such as a CPU or GPU. The controller 120 may control other components included in the game information providing device 100 to perform an operation according to the game information providing method. For example, the controller 120 may execute a program stored in the memory 130 to be described later, read a file stored in the memory 130, or store a new file in the memory 130.

According to the embodiment, the controller 120 may determine the type of game player.

Prior to determining the type of game player, the controller 120 may collect a play history. For example, when a player plays a game played in rounds, play data for each round may be collected and stored in the memory 130 as a play history. Here, a 'round' is a unit of a game provided for a predetermined period of time, and may also be used as terms such as a quest, a stage, and a board. According to an embodiment, an evaluation according to a player's play result in a round may be provided whenever a round ends or a set composed of a plurality of rounds ends. Accordingly, when game information is provided, it may be provided whenever a round or a set ends. Of course, the game information may be provided even while the round is in progress.

The controller 120 may collect play data of players who have played a predetermined number of rounds as a play history, and determine the type of player based on the collected play history.

The controller 120 may select an item corresponding to predetermined play data from among play data constituting the play history, and determine a player type based on the selected item. In this regard, items may be set differently for each genre of the game, or play data may be allocated or updated according to the attributes of the player character. 'Archer play time' may be assigned play data when the 'archer' character is played. Since the type of player corresponding to the selected item or combination of selected items is preset, the controller 120 can determine the type of player corresponding to the selected item or more when one or more items are selected. In this regard, the number of types of players may be small compared to the number of item combinations, i.e., for example, even if there are 2 items, the number of types of players may be 2 instead of 4 (= 2*2), Since providing a player type that can empathize with the player is a priority rather than presetting the player type corresponding to all combinations of the player type, the player type and the corresponding item combination may be set.

According to an embodiment for selecting an item, the control unit 120 compares the player's play data with the play data of other players for each item, and selects an item having a higher or lower value for the player than the other player based on the comparison result. can be selected For example, the controller 120 may select one or more items of play data having the highest or lowest value when the player's play data is compared with other players' play data for each item, and the selected By combining one or more items, you can determine the type of player. Or, for example, when the player's play data is compared with the play data of other players for each item, the controller 120 can calculate the top percentage of the player for that item, and the player belongs to a predetermined percentage By selecting only the items, the type of player can be determined according to the combination of the selected items.

According to another embodiment for selecting an item, the controller 120 compares the play data of the player with the play data of other players for each item, calculates a score for each item based on the comparison result, and calculates a score for each item based on the score for each item. For example, a combination of items corresponding to a value having the highest sum of scores for each item or a value having the highest multiplication of scores for each item may be selected, and the type of player corresponding to the selected item may be determined.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3 , the controller 120, as the player's play data, 'play time of the swordsman', 'play time of the archer', 'chasing time', 'number of kills when there are many allies', 'during melee' The play history for each item 310 of 'number of kills' can be collected, and the play data for each item can be compared with the play data of other players. percentiles can be calculated. That is, as shown in FIG. 3 , the controller 120 selects 'play time of swordsman', 'play time of archers', 'chasing time', 'number of kills when there are many allies', and 'number of kills in melee' items 310, respectively. It is possible to calculate whether the player's play data for is in the top percentage 320 among all players. For example, the control unit 120 determines the play time of all players who played the test for the longest time. When sorted from , in the order of short play time, it can be determined that the time the player played as a swordsman belongs to the 'top 20%' among the play times of all players who played the swordsman. When the percentile is calculated in this way, the controller 120 may calculate the score for each item. For example, the score for each percentile is preset so that the controller 120 can calculate the score according to the percentile for each item. For example, there is a formula in which the percentile is entered as a factor, and the calculated value according to the formula can be calculated as a score. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 3 , the controller 120 may calculate a score 330 for each item 310 . Further, the controller 120 may select an item based on the scores for each item and determine a type corresponding to the selected item as the player type. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 , a combination of items 420 and 440 may be preset for each type 410 . For example, the 'checker + chaser' type 410 may have a 'checker play time' item 420 and a 'chasing time' item 440 matched, and the 'checker + melee' type 410 may be matched with 'sword play time' item (420) and 'number of kills during melee' item (440), and 'archer + coward' type (410) may be matched with 'archer play time' item (420) and 'ally' The item 440 'the number of treatments when there are many' may be matched. As described above, since the controller 120 has calculated the score for each item based on the player's play data, as shown in FIG. 4, the score 430 for each of the items 420 and 440 for each type 410 , 450) may be assigned. The controller 120 may determine the type of the player with the largest value multiplied by the scores of the items for each type, and accordingly, as shown in FIG. The chaser' may be determined by the type of player.

As such, the controller 120 may determine the type of player by recognizing a play pattern based on the player's play data.

Based on the type of player, the controller 120 may provide game information.

According to the embodiment, the controller 120 may provide the type of player as game information. To provide to the player means to display it so that the player can see it through the screen of the player's electronic terminal or to store it in the player account.

In relation to this, 'game information' is general information about the result of analyzing the play data according to the player's game play, and includes the type of player, the item corresponding to the type of player, the play data corresponding to the item, and the type of player. It may include at least one of the rankings determined based on. Here, the 'item corresponding to the type' refers to the item used to determine the corresponding type.

Accordingly, the controller 120 may provide information about the type of player as game information. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 , the controller 120 may provide information indicating that the player's type is 'swords + chaser' to a player whose player type is determined to be 'swordsman+chaser'.

In addition, the controller 120 may also provide game information about an item corresponding to the type of player, and may also provide game information based on the type of player and play data obtained when the player plays the game. That is, the controller 120 may provide play data related to an item corresponding to the type of player. For example, as shown in FIG. Among the play data played in the round, information of '4 hours' and '10 minutes', which are play data of the items 'check play time' and 'tracking time', respectively, can be provided as game information.

In addition, the controller 120 may provide the player's ranking as game information based on the player's type and play data obtained during the player's game play.

That is, the controller 120 may determine the player's ranking by comparing the item used to determine the type of player and the play data of the corresponding item with the play data of other players.

In determining the ranking, according to an embodiment, the controller 120 may determine the ranking of the player based on play data of all players for an item corresponding to the player type. For example, for a player determined to be a 'healer who enjoys transformation' according to the highest score in the combination of 'healer play time' and 'number of hero transformations', the control unit 120 controls the play of all players. For each of the items 'Healer play time' and 'Number of hero transformations' in the data, it is possible to determine what percent the player belongs to, and to provide a ranking by item according to the percentile, or to calculate a score converted to the percentile by item. Thus, the player's ranking can be determined in the order of the total score for each item.

In addition, according to another embodiment in determining the ranking, the control unit 120 groups other players of the same type as the player type to create a group, and within the group, players in the group play on items that the group has in common. The player's ranking may be determined based on the data, or the player's ranking may be determined based on play data for an item corresponding to the corresponding type. For example, by grouping a player determined as a 'healer who enjoys transforming' according to the combination of the item 'Healer Play Time' and the item 'Number of Hero Transformations', and other players classified as the same type, The control unit 120 that created the group determines the player's ranking based on the play data of all players in the group, or the item 'healer play time' and the item 'hero transformation count', respectively. It is possible to determine the player's ranking for each item by determining how many percentages the player belongs to, or the player's ranking can be determined in the order of the total score obtained by converting the percentile for each item.

According to the above-described embodiment, the control unit 120 identifies where the player is located between the first and last place in the play data of the item corresponding to the player type or a combination of play data, and provides it as a ranking, thereby performing ranking calculation. Resources required can be minimized. In addition, the control unit 120 does not determine the ranking provided to the player through real-time comparison with other players, but among the play data sorted based on the play history, the percentile in which the play data obtained as the current player plays is located. Since the ranking can be calculated through, this also can minimize the resources required for the ranking calculation.

When the controller 120 provides game information as described above, the player plays the game or whenever a round ends, as shown in FIG. 5 , through the screen D of the electronic terminal 10. You can check game information.

That is, the controller 120 may determine the player type based on the play history, and provide game information based on the player type and play data obtained during the player's game play. As shown in FIG. 5 , information 500 regarding the player type may be provided to the determined player. In addition, the controller 120 may provide items used to determine the player type. As shown in FIG. 5, the item 'number of enemies killed in many gaps' (510) and the item 'number of enemies killed by hammer blow' (510). (520) and the item 'number of enemies killed with Ohamma' (530). In addition, the controller 120 may provide play data for each item or provide a ranking, and as shown in FIG. 5, the controller 120 may provide player play data (511, 521, 531) for each item (510, 520, 530). Also, rankings 512 , 522 , and 532 for each item 510 , 520 , and 530 may be provided. In this way, since the item in which the player has performed well can be compared and evaluated with other players, the controller 120 can provide a customized ranking for each player type.

According to the prior art, when providing rankings, rankings are provided based on play data on items that all players who play games have in common. However, according to an embodiment disclosed herein, customized rankings can be provided to players. By providing customized rankings, players can feel a sense of accomplishment in gameplay by being provided with rankings for items they are good at. In addition, according to the embodiment disclosed in this specification, players are evaluated based on detailed criteria, so fairness of the evaluation can be appealed to the players. This improves the user's immersion in the game.

Returning to FIG. 2 again, various types of data such as files, applications, and programs may be installed and stored in the memory 130 . The controller 120 may access and use data stored in the memory 130 or may store new data in the memory 130 . Also, the controller 120 may execute a program installed in the memory 130 . For example, the memory 130 may be installed with a program for performing the game information providing method, and may store a play history for performing the game information providing method as described above.

In addition, the input/output unit 140 may include an input unit for receiving an input from a game player and an output unit for displaying information such as a result of performing a task or a state of the game information providing device 100 .
