Description

200946192 VI. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field to Which the Invention Is Ascribed] The present invention relates to the category of games. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention relate to a game server for enabling a user to execute a game and a method and apparatus for electronically configuring a game. [Prior Art] Digital distribution is via the Internet. Roads and other networks 'provide the principle of digital content in the form of products or services. By becoming a ubiquitous broadband Internet in the future, digital transmission of various forms of media content becomes more desirable. A content delivery network consisting of a server system and a desktop computer has been configured to deliver digital content to end users for manipulation of, for example, a desktop PC or console via the Internet. For example, an existing platform of this form is the "Steam" product of Vaive's limited company, which is a digital transmission, multi-person connection and communication series. It is primarily used to digitally transfer and manage different types of computer games, ranging from one-person shooters and RPGs (role-playing games) to horse racing. For example, such a system allows a user to buy and acquire a game through a digital communication network. In this regard, instead of receiving a box with a CD/DVD, the purchased software is distributed from the server to the user, for example, through a pre-registered user account, thereby obtaining and downloading the software to the application. And executed on the user's computer. The well-known digital distribution platform has been operated to work with a scatterable construction system. The assignable slot system allows 200946192 to start playing before the local player's computer is downloaded to the local computer. Most typically, this can be done by creating a list of basic game broadcasts and having a pre-loader (Pre-1〇ader) (only if they need or will need * when Xiao spreads the feeder to request the broadcast) . According to these systems, it has been possible for a linear 'game to start playing only with an executable code ((10) utable code) and a buffer of the downloaded first-small area. Today, such systems have created problems for a number of reasons. The main problem is that because of the size of the game, the size of the game is hundreds or even thousands of million. Usually the game player will wait - the time to download the data in the background. Another problem is that when the connection is slower or when the service provider (service pr〇vider) becomes busy, the download is extremely slow and difficult to compete with the high-bandwidth downloader. For non-linear games, this problem is more serious, where the possibility of executing a game is enormous and the required information changes from time to time. For these reasons, this type of content delivery has not been widely used to date because it is impractical and frustrating for end users. % The goal of the present invention is to provide an improved content delivery system for computer games. More particularly, the present invention provides a server that allows a user to quickly and securely receive game files on their computer via a network (netw〇rk) (for example, the Internet).

In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a computer readable medium is provided that describes a computer readable code configured to cause a computer to implement the above method. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a computer program product is provided that includes a code means for implementing the above method. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a computer code means is provided for performing the above method. [Embodiment] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 illustrates the main components of the game system 1. The game system includes a game conversion module 10, a game server 20, and a user device 30. The user device 30 is connected to the game server by a network such as the Internet. The game conversion module 10 converts the game of a known format into a format suitable for the game system 1. The game conversion module 10 then transmits the converted game (in one embodiment, a copy of the converted game) to the game server 20 〇 the game conversion module 10 does not have a permanent connection to the game server. Therefore, after the game is converted, the game conversion module 丨〇 establishes a connection with the game server 20, transfers the converted game to the game server 2, and then terminates the connection. This is illustrated by the dashed line in FIG. In addition, the game conversion module 10 can also have a permanent connection to the game server 20. In any of the 200946192 examples, the connection may be a wired or wireless connection. In another embodiment, the game conversion module 10 does not have a connection to the game server 20. In this example, after the game is converted, the game is provided to the game server 2 by a storage medium (for example, a CD, a DVD, or a memory card, etc.). In another embodiment, game server 20 may request a game or update from game conversion module 10. Further details of the game conversion module 10 can be found in the undecided patent application "Equipment or Method for Game Conversion" (in the same application as the applicant), and does not require knowledge. The patent invention is implemented. In short, in order to convert a game of a known format into a format suitable for using the game system 1, the game conversion module 10 converts the game into an active material=piece and a passive data element, so that the entire game can be combined with active data or passive materials. And transferred to the game server 2〇.

Typical examples of passive data are texture components, Mp3 files, WaVe files, Text Files, and the like. However, in a broad sense, passive data is any material that can be downloaded and stored to user device 30 and can potentially be replaced by reference to the identification code. The game engine (for example, the virtual engine, the Torque engine, the mountain engine, the Half Life engine) can also be classified in passive data because it can use the version of the game engine stored in the user device 3G. In real-time or near-instantaneous, the user is loaded from the fuel-service device (9) to the user who plays the game. During the execution of the game, the data is usually used to give information about the passive data. Potential 15 200946192 = Any form of data can be classified as active. However, according to one, for example, the game object data (for example, parameter data) is classified as the edge data _ in this effect, appropriately constitute all the basic data components in the game, in order to prepare for 丨; The complex, interactive virtual object that the game sees when it is executed, such as material, game guide & active material (parameters describing this behavior). Therefore, without active data, the game cannot be executed. Because the passive data will not be properly compiled/appeared/running on the user device sm because there is no data describing how the game 70 pieces are combined and how they interact with each other in the game environment. The passive data is downloaded from the game server 20 to the user and placed in conjunction with the downloaded passive data stored in the user device 30 to create a game that can be executed at the user device. According to an example, the initiative Data and passive data can be combined immediately on the user device 3 when they arrive. ❹ When working with other data components , The material ㈣㈣㈣), audio broadcast (audio file), and the game engine, all of the above has a very large case size broadcast) when compared to certain forms of game object data is relatively small. Therefore, for two reasons, it is advantageous to have the object data as the active material. The first 'digitalRightsManagement', which has the object data as the active data, is in the form of Digital Rights Management, in which the necessary active data is missing. The game execution is performed, and the game cannot be executed by the user. Therefore, the active material is only temporarily stored on the user device 30, and must be downloaded from the feeder 2 detached from the (four) material. Second, such small object data (usually active data) means that the game can contribute to only a limited amount of network bandwidth, and all (or at least the majority) of the large data ( Usually passive data) The slot is stored on the user device 3〇. According to one example, the site (Site thresh〇ld) is used to define the fit

Knives are information on active materials. For example, picking up any data file smaller than 256KB becomes potentially proactive. Then, the selection of the selected hundred

The knive ratio (for example, 40%) is classified as active (other 〇% is classified as passive). As mentioned above, passive data can be replaced by reference. In traditional games, data elements (for example, lawn material) appear many times throughout the game. In order to convert the traditional game into the form of the game system i, the game conversion module 1G recognizes that the information of the passive data appears more than once (identical or similar) by confirming the contents of each of the broadcasts. Clear the situation and contact one of the components of the data file with a unique reference object' and replace all additional % of the component of the data file with a unique contact reference (an additional case of deleting all components of the data file). For example, in the case of materials, 'one will confirm the pixels one by one.' However, any suitable technique known in the art can be used to evaluate the similarity of the desired content. This drastically reduces the size of the game (for example, the game in the well-known form is 12 gb (billion), but the conversion below is reduced to 190 MB (million)). For example, the lawn material will appear in the game. In many games, every lawn material in the game looks like _, but 'has a different file $. Game conversion mode, group 10 identify when the lawn material out 17 200946192 every situation, make a pile W [the turf material in a different situation, contact the unique reference material, and take the unique spring to contact from the second Du ^ 幵 reference Replace the remaining 99 cases with the object. Thus, the game conversion module 10 reduces the size of the game by removing duplicate (and therefore redundant) material by following the game. This describes the converted game to have the same quality as the unconverted game. Because the rabbits, β Λ U, all the necessary game source code (source code) has not changed, but its size has been reduced. It is. As a result, appearance, feeling, and game execution are not changed by the game conversion mode, group 1〇.

The game conversion module 1G also determines the basic minimum of the gorge. The minimum value confirms the minimum amount of data required for the user to begin executing the game. For example, the minimum amount of data can be used to enable the game to start, or to activate and read the first layer (leVel) or portion. The first level or the entire executable part of the game. The basic minimum contains the entire passive data. Because &, if the data is the basic minimum - part 1 has been classified as passive data due to its content or size, Gongga will be classified as passive data. Then download the basic minimum to the user to install i 3G, the user can start executing the game (continued for a limited period of time). In another hip embodiment,

The user will need to supplement the active data immediately or in real time to fully execute the game. In the case of the case, in order to continue/start the execution of the game, more active and passive data are required. Therefore, the user device needs to be connected to the game server 20. Each of the converted games output via the game conversion module 1 can be identified by a Container ID. The container identifier contains a Game ID with an additional suffix describing the game data packet. The game identification code is a unique code that is used throughout the game system to determine the game. According to a specific embodiment, the unique code is an alpha-numeric code, for example 'two characters and five digits in length, and optionally has an area suffix (for example, "DE" for Germany, Used in the UK "υκ", etc.) to indicate the language version of the game. It should be noted that each language version of the game will generally undergo a separate conversion process, although this may not be required in some environments. The attached power of the game data packet can be a 4-digit code. For example, the 'game identification code' has been read and the container identification code suffix "_" can represent the tomb of the tomb] (the first data of the German version of Dauer Rauier D & (= package (.9 In this article, the basic minimum value of the first packet ".1:==. These containers can contain active and passive data for the game. Device 1 save:! For each active and passive data The corresponding contact:: object: In the case, the passive data of the converted game and the active data of the converted game are respectively stored and/or marked, so they can be separately configured to the customer. In the example, the passive data is: for example, all materials are stored in one table = 7 i: ^ broadcast is stored in another table, all sonic broadcasts are stored in the table, etc. Therefore, passive data is stored in However, the storage device is based on the (4) (four) _ (four) 表 table device 'wearing: 被动 ΓΓ group 10 passive data storage device and active data storage conversion module mrr for (4), the (four) axis has been played by the same component of the game 200946192 passive data In many games, for example, lawn material can appear in five different games. Therefore, in order to avoid passive data duplication in the game conversion passive data storage device, the game conversion module H) is also distinguished in the converted game. The passive data element appears (either identically or similarly) in all cases of the passive data storage device (ie, the passive data appears in another game that has been converted by the game conversion module 10, so if it appears in the converted Passive data components in the game have appeared in passive data storage devices,

The unique reference material for the passive data element contact of the G material storage device will be used to replace all of the passive data elements in the game. Taking the above turf material as an example, the turf material appears in many different games. When converting a new game, the game conversion module 1G recognizes all the cases in the new game: the turf material' and stores the passive data in the game. The data compares the turf material and determines that the turf material has been stored. = The data storage device == Γ is uniquely referenced in the game conversion passive "one of the apron material, and replaced with a unique reference in the new game. All the circumstances of the turf material f. A passive data and active data may contain metadata including that provided by the game conversion module 10. The metadata data case identification = code (five) eID) - only _ code, throughout The game system " is sure to encounter the broadcast. According to a record with a number of Zhao: number::, for example: 2 characters... number of files, including the name of the file, including the name of the file Deputy 20 200946192 The title 'for example: "tree.jpg", "bang2.wavj, etc. File Type ID" - a record indicating the file's file name, for example: "bmp", "jpg ", mp3", "wav" and the like. According to a specific embodiment, the file extension with property rights is standardized during the conversion process. For example, the standard "*.jpg" file can be renamed to "*, abc" via the given game developer for a number of reasons. Such programs can be flipped so that all standard files have the correct and acceptable file extension format. According to a specific embodiment, the slot file name is standardized according to the display system displaying each individual file format. For example, 'the following digital system can be implemented: 〇〇1〇〇 stands for the general category of "picture file", while 00101 is jpeg file, 00102 is bmp file, 00103 is png file, etc.; and 〇〇4〇〇 stands for "Sound file", while 00401 is wav file, 00402 is 〇 gg file, 0 〇 4 〇 3 is mp3 file, and so on. File Link - This is a flag that indicates the location of the file in the file structure of the installed game. In other words, this is the route indicator. ❹ The game ID is a unique code that confirms the game throughout the game system. According to a specific embodiment, the unique code is an alpha-numeric code, for example, 2 characters and 5 digits in length, optionally having an area suffix (for example, for "DE" in Germany, In the UK, "υκ", etc.) to mark the language version of the game "It is important to note that each language of the game" will generally undergo a separate conversion process, although in some environments this will not be required. The size of the slot case is the size of the broadcast case, for example: kilobytes 21 200946192 (kilobyte ). Reference Status ID - consists of three sub-metadata flags: "No (〇)", "Yes (1)", "Not yet tested (2)", each One indicates whether the file is replaced by a file already displayed in the game conversion database.

Replacement File ID ~ If the reference status identifier is 1', the replacement file identifier contains a list of all other identifiers'. This file is a reference file for other identifiers. In other words it contains a list of all equal files that can be replaced by the current file. Class ID—Composed of two sub-metadata flags: an indicator that classifies files into active (〇) or passive (1). Sub Class ID - A lock flag that displays active files that are replaced by other files. The & 'file can be marked as "locked (〇)" or "replaceable (1)". For example, this feature can prevent a particular file from being (4) based on the completion factor and prevent conflicts with the classification code. .

The game conversion passive data storage device contains all the passive data required for all the games. The game has been converted by the game conversion module 1 and the game conversion initiative (4) storage device contains all the active resources required for all the games. Converted by the game conversion module 1G. Passive data storage devices are essentially shared libraries of passive data. As shown in FIG. 1, the game server 20 may be a wired connection or a connection via a network (for example, connected to the maker device 3). For example, but not limited to, the money device may 22 200946192 A desktop computer, a notebook computer, a game console, a portable game console, etc. A detailed description of the game server 20 will now be provided with reference to Figure 2. The game server 20 includes an active data storage device. And the passive data storage device 110. Each of the storage devices 100, Π0 and the converted game (converted by the game conversion module 1) are present and updated each time the converted game is transmitted to the game server 2. 100, 110 can store a plurality of active and passive data of the converted game converted by the game conversion module 1 . Essentially for all games (which have been converted by the game conversion module 10 and transmitted to Game server 20), the active data storage device 100 of the game server includes a copy of the active data stored in the game conversion active data storage device, and the game server The passive data storage device 110 includes a pair of passive data stored in the game conversion passive data storage device. When the new game has been converted by the game conversion module 10, and is about to be transmitted to the game server 20, the game conversion module 1〇 Identifying the passive data element of the new game's that it has replaced the passive data already stored in the passive data storage device (which is a copy of the passive data storage device 110 stored in the game server 2) by means of a unique reference. The indication of the passive data element (for example, the file identification code) is then transmitted to the server 2 and the metadata of the identified passive data element in the storage device 11 of the game feeder 20 is updated. The replacement file identifier of the identified passive data element can be modified to include the game identification code of the new game. For 23 200946192, the identified passive data component is the reference material broadcast. In addition, it has not been stored in the game (four) device 20 All new information (ie, active information for all new games and any new games that have not been stored in storage device 110) The data is transmitted to the game server 20 and stored in the appropriate storage device ι, ηβ. In one embodiment, the passive data storage device 11 of the game server 20 is provided with the game conversion module 1〇.储存 Store passive data based on categories so that all materials are stored in one table, all mp3 files are stored in another table, all sound files are stored in another table, etc. Therefore, The passive data storage device of the game server 2 is a storage device for storing all passive data, but it is divided into different tables based on the category of the passive data. In another embodiment, a plurality of tables may be used. The passive data storage device 11(). The game conversion module 1〇 also transmits all the active data of the new game to the active data storage device 1 of the game server 20. Proactive data is unique to every game. Therefore, it is not necessary to compare the active data and the new active data already stored in the active data storage device 100. If desired, 'specific game data can be removed from the storage devices 100, 11', for example, when a game is no longer popular. Furthermore, if necessary, an update of the active device and/or passive data stored in the storage device 1 (9), U〇 of the game server 2 can be performed. For example, if an updated version of the grass material becomes available, it can be stored on the current version of the grass material of the passive data storage device 11 and associated with a unique reference that indicates the grass material. The quality of the updated file will be better than the original file (for example, 24 200946192 in terms of resolution). However, the whole game can still be small because the extra data is deleted from the game. In this regard, the visual and auditory qualities of computer games will increase, and the hacker will feel the same as the user but still reduce the size of the game. The user can access the game server 2 from the user device 30 via the web interface 14 via the web interface 14 . When used for the first time, the user can optionally be asked to create a user account of the game server 2, for example, the user is required to input information, such as their name, address, birthday, financial account details, etc. Wait. Next, a user account is created for each user by the management and user creation module 170 so that the user can access the game server 20 and execute any converted games that are stored in active and passive data storage. Devices 100, 110. The user account data is stored in the user database 160. When the game server 20 is used for the first time, the management and user creation module 170 determines whether the user device 30 includes the required game processing application software (game user software) to execute by the game conversion module 10. Converted game. If it is determined that the user device 30 does not include the game user software, the user is prompted to download a copy of the game user's soft card from the storage device 180 at the game server 2 via the web interface 140. Further details of the game user software can be found in the unfinished patent application "Game User Software" (the same applicant as this application), although it is not required to understand and implement the patent invention. In addition, when the game server 20 is used for the first time, the 'management and user creation module 170 recognizes the hardware environment of the user device 30', for example: CPU using 25 200946192 30 (central

The processing card included in the device 30 and the user's processing processor) processing speed. During the execution of the game, the game feeder 2 needs to have a two-way interaction with the user device, two-way interactive communication 〇4 with the day m A 丄疋 because during the game execution, not only need The game server 20 downloads the Chongzu r +~ put '4 (active data and passive data) to the user device 30' and also needs to use the winning device to send the data to the game server 20, for example, During the tour of the Uranium 游 关于 关于 关于 关于 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓 迓And subsequently, the use, management and user establishment module m also determines the (4) time (Plllg Ume) and bandwidth of the user connection. When the user installs f 30 to send the data to the game feeder 2, the user The connected (four) time and bandwidth affect the speed at which the user device 30 receives the response from the game server 2. ❹ In one embodiment, the hardware environment and/or user of the user device 3 is checked at predetermined intervals. % _ Measure time and bandwidth, for example, each time the user connects to the game 、g server, or each time the user selects a new game to execute. In addition, always check during game execution The hardware environment of the user device 30 and/or the detection time and bandwidth of the user device %. In order to avoid the suspension of execution _, the download cycle data (whilst data) from the game server 2, management and The user creation module 17 can change the buffer area (explained in more detail below) for each user's hard camera environment, (four) time, and bandwidth. With detection time and bandwidth less than 26 200946192 The user will be assigned to a larger buffer area than the user with good detection time and bandwidth. Not only the user account data but also the user database 16 can be used for monitoring during game execution. Store user behavior. Then, if needed, this file can be transferred to the game maker so that the game can be changed. For example, 'If you need a specific password, 5〇% The user will not pass through a particular door, then the game maker can verify that the password is too difficult 'and thus can change the password/game. mm After the user account is created (if needed), the user becomes authorized to use The authorized user will be required to enter the username and password through the web interface 140 to access the game server 20. The management and user build module 17 then compare the entered username # The male code and the authorized user data contained in the user database 160 are used to check whether the user is an authorized user. Once the user is confirmed to be an authorized user, the user is allowed to access. The game g feeds the device 20 and executes the game. The user database 16 can store user account information. For example, the user may be required to pay to execute the game on the game server. Therefore, the user account information may be information about whether the user has sufficient funds to execute the game on the game server 2. If it has been determined that the user does not have sufficient funds in his account, then the act of executing the game through the game server 20 will be rejected until sufficient funds are added to the user account. In addition, if the user is determined to be an authorized user and the account does not have sufficient funds in their account, the action of accessing the game through the game server 27 200946192 will be rejected until sufficient funds are added to use. Account. After the user is identified as having sufficient funds and/or an authorized user, the user can select any of the converted games stored in the storage device (10), ιι〇 to execute. This selection can be performed by the web interface ι4〇. In still further embodiments, the user is not required to be an authorized user and/or will not be required to pay to execute the game stored on game server 20. The selected CMS (content management system) module 150 is used to manage the content of the web interface, as is well known in the prior art. The user's game selection is transmitted to the game content processing module 120 along with a license from the management and user creation module 170, which is sufficient for the user to be an authorized user and/or in their account. The funds (if needed) ^ game content processing module 12 includes a main animal widget §fl module 122, a content check and transfer module 124, and a passive data controller module 126. The game content processing module 120 is coordinated with the game user software of the user device 30 by the game server communication interface 130. The game user software of the user device 30 utilizes a user passive data storage device (not shown). In one embodiment, the passive data storage device is initially empty. In another embodiment, the initial passive data is transmitted from the management and user establishment module 200946192 170 to the user device 30 by the game user software for presence in the user passive data storage device. In another or additional embodiment, passive data may be provided on a CD (CD)/DVD/Pan, etc., and the user obtains the data to present it to the user's passive data storage device. In order to execute the selected game, the basic minimum profile (as described above) is downloaded from the passive data storage device 11 of the game server 20 to the user passive data storage device. In addition, the connection between the server 2 and the user device 3 must be valid so that active data and additional passive data can be downloaded to the user device 3 when required during game play. As mentioned above, the game engine is considered a special form of passive data. Before or after the basic minimum data download, it is determined whether the user device has the required game engine, and if the user device 3 does not have the required game engine, then (the copy of the game engine) will be along with the basic minimum data. Or separately downloaded and stored in the user device 3〇. The game is then performed on the stored game engine, and the necessary passive data received from the game server 2 and the necessary passive data downloaded from the game server 2 to the user's passive data storage device are borrowed. Retrieved by the game engine from the user passive data storage device. The process of downloading the basic minimum data from the passive data storage device U of the game server 2 to the user passive data storage device of the user device 3G is schematically illustrated. When the user selects the game to be executed (step S200), the use of 1% of the selection is transmitted to the game content processing module by the web interface 140 and the transfer module 124 determines the selected game. 29 200946192 The game engine executes, and confirms whether the user device 3 has the game engine (step S202). If the user device 3 does not have the desired game engine, the game engine transmits to the user device 3 (step S2〇4). The passive data (and active data) is transmitted to the user device 30 via the game server communication interface 13〇. The game engine is a special form of the data being smashed and, for its part, stored in the user's passive data storage device. In addition, in order to determine what game engine is needed for the game, the content verification and delivery module 124 also determines what management features (for example, physics, control applications, etc.) are required for the game, and if This management feature is not available at the user device 3G, and the required management features are transmitted to the user for f3G. At the beginning of the game download, the management features of the game are downloaded to the user device.

The content check (4) delivery module 124 also determines what basic information is required to perform the selected game (step 胄). Stored in passive: The passive material of the material storage device 11G is associated with a unique reference, as described above, for identifying passive data. Each passive material also contains an indicator that the heart game requires passive data. The content collation and delivery module 12 transmits a first list of unique references, a common illusion, which does not refer to the selected game site to the basic minimum data to the user device 30 (step S2 〇 8). The user device 30 includes a 佶田土 user passive data manager. The user-activated data manager compares the first list of the unique springs from the test article and the passive data that has been injured in the user's passive data storage device (step S210), and decides which one - ^ first listed The passive data is stored in the user passive data storage device (step S212). The user passive data manager then transmits back a second list of unique references to the content verification and delivery module 124 via the game server communication interface (step S214). The second list indicates which of the first listed minimum minimum data is not stored in the user passive data storage device and is therefore required by the user passive data storage device. In one embodiment, if the user device 3 does not have any information stored in the user passive data storage device, then the second list of references is identical to the first list of references. However, if some of the required basic minimum data has been stored in the user's passive data storage device, the passive data does not need to be transmitted from the passive data storage device of the game server 2 to the user passive data of the user device 30. Storage device. Therefore, the second list of references is likely to be smaller than the first list of references. In a specific embodiment, as described above, the game conversion module 1 also recognizes the presence of passive data elements in the game (whether identical or similar) in other games that have been converted by the game conversion module 10. All the conditions of the game, and the unique reference material that exists in the passive data element. The game conversion module 10 can modify the replacement file identification code of the passive data element to include the game identification code for each new game. For the new game, the identified passive data element is the reference file. Therefore, the passive data stored in the passive data storage device 110 of the game server (which is converted by the game conversion module 10) does not contain any duplicate passive data. Thus, the passive material (which is transmitted from the game server 20 to the user device) details the game identification code for each of the converted games. For the game, 31 200946192, the identified passive data element is a reference file. - The Content Pairing and Delivery Module 124 uses a second list of references to determine what passive material is needed and the reference to which it is associated is to be transmitted to the user device 30. The 'content check and transfer module 124 then retrieves the required minimum minimum passive data and its associated reference from the passive data storage device 110 (step S216) and transmits a copy of the passive data and its associated reference to the user device. 30 (step S218). Therefore, 'only new passive data (passive data not yet stored in the user's passive data storage device) is transmitted to the user device 30 » q Next, the user passive data manager stores the transmitted passive data and the associated reference material. The user is in the passive data storage device. Steps S202 and S204 may be performed after steps 82〇6 to S2〇8, that is, the game engine may transmit after the basic minimum material. Further, the game engine is transmitted simultaneously with the basic minimum data of step S218. In a specific embodiment, because of the game conversion module 1 and the game server 20, the passive data storage device of the user device 3 stores the passive data based on the category 'so that all materials are stored in a table. ❹ Medium, all mp3 files are stored in another table, and all sonic files are stored in another table and so on. Thus, the passive data storage device of the user device 3 is a storage device that stores all passive data, but is divided into different tables based on the type of passive data. Since only the new passive data (the passive data that has not been stored in the passive data storage device of the user) is transmitted to the user device 3, the more games the user has selected to execute, the more the user stores the passive data storage device. 32 200946192 The more passive data there will be. Therefore, the total amount of passive data required to transfer from the game & the squad and the server 20 to use should be reduced from each game so that each game downloads the basic minimum data to the user's needs. Time can be shortened. In addition, the time required for each game to download passive data to the user device 30 during ^ ^ ^ . Depending on the determined detection time and bandwidth connected to the user device 3Q (as described above), the minimum minimum data required for the initial download can be

Further initial downloads (four) (if needed) supplements. For example, assume that the user's connection is slow 'the game content processing module 12G will determine the minimum minimum data and further extras needed for the user device 30 to be downloaded to the user device 3 before the game can be started. Active and/or passive data. In this example, the passive data of the material is transmitted separately from the basic minimum data m using a similar procedure as described in item 3. Additional active data can also be transmitted as a separate or separate source. However, since the active data cannot be exchanged with the reference material # and is not permanently stored in the user device 3, it is not necessary to compare (for example, steps S210 to S218). The program of Figure 3 is completed prior to the start of game execution. Passive data for not all selected games will be transmitted before the game is started. For example, using the procedure described above and with reference to item 3, passive data required only for the first three levels of the selected game is confirmed and transmitted to the user device 3 before the game execution begins. During game execution, a passive program is downloaded from the passive data storage device 11 of the game server 20 to a user passive data storage device (in the background) using the device 30, using a program similar to that of FIG. The passive data is then read from the user's passive data storage device when needed. The active material is downloaded as needed, and the active data is not permanently stored in the user device. Compared to the conventional game, which is read by the optical disc, the user passive data storage device functions as a virtual disc player at the user device 3, and the passive data is read from there. The user selects the game to execute twice and many times. The program of Fig. 3 may not need to be executed because the basic minimum data required to start the game has been downloaded to the user passive data storage device at the user device.可以 After downloading the basic minimum data (including the game engine if needed), you can start the game execution. There is no need to download the entire game before the game starts. It is only necessary to download the basic minimum. Then, during game execution, game data (active and passive) is downloaded to the background when needed. According to a specific embodiment, active data and passive data can be distributed by separate servers. For example, passive data can be distributed by the web server because its transfer speed does not directly affect the slow transfer speed. It only means that the user has to wait for two longer to start executing the game (and the buffer area is increased). As the following: On the other hand, the transmission speed of the active data has a certain meaning: the more important one is that the game cannot be executed without the active data and the big game will be explained by the game conversion module. Therefore, it is prepared in a versatile manner, and the fixed information of the required information is provided for the game to be executed. In this case, it is better to have a fast feeding device to distribute the active data. 34 200946192. According to an example The blade server (the age data, and the passive data is distributed by the web server). To ensure that there is no delay during the execution of the game, the server 20 downloads the loop passive data (and the active = around the player (the user who starts the game) The current == area in the game. This buffer area refers to all the passive data needed in the next scheduled period of game execution ( Active data) 0 For example, as shown in Figure 4, if at time (four), the player is currently at the ~ position (as indicated by the solid black diamond ♦), then the player can be at any time on the first lap 1 The place is located anywhere on the second lap 5 at t=5 and at the (4) side of the third lap 1() at t=1G. In most games, the player does not need to be in the same direction. Medium move (for example, distance A, B, or C), but can be swung or back, or can change direction. Based on the decisions made during the game, the game execution may not be linear and different users (or The same user can perform the same game in different φ ways. Therefore, at any one time, the player can move to or close to any of a number of different environments, each of which requires a different environment (or The same) active data and passive data. For example, if the passive data buffer area is defined by the dotted circle in FIG. 4, and the active data buffer area is defined by the dotted circle 1 in FIG. In this example, the game content processing module 120 of the game server 20 needs to detect the game execution and determine all the passive data and the areas 0 to 1 that may be needed in the area 〇1〇1. The household has active information. The area of the game can be defined by a game, such as time 35 200946192, distance, memory range, room or level. The active data buffer area is smaller than the passive data buffer area, so to avoid The active device is permanently stored (any significant time period/total data) at the user device 3, and thus the game being executed is protected when the connection to the server 2 is corrupted. Then, during game execution, during In the background, the content verification and delivery module 124 can download the required (buffer area) passive data to the user passive data storage device of the user device 30 and the required (buffer area) active data to the user device. 3〇 user active data storage device. The monitoring of the game execution and the dynamic determination of the buffer area may be generated in the game server 20 or the user device 3. In a later example, the user device 3 needs to request the buffer area data that needs to be stored in the user device 3 ( Active and passive data). In one embodiment, the passive data buffer area is set to a level, in this example, the game server 2 downloads each level of passive data 'before the level is needed. ◎ Figure 5 illustrates an example server' that monitors the game execution program during game execution and is used to download data from the game server 20 to the user device. The game content processing module 12 receives, via the game server communication interface 13, an indication of the current game execution from the user device 30 (eg, at which level the player is and where the player of the level is) and active and passive data. Request (step S300). Next, the content collation and delivery module 24 determines what passive material is required in the next 36 200946192 predetermined periods of the game execution (buffer area) of step S302. Next, the content collation and delivery module 124 transmits a first list of unique references to the user device 30 indicating the passive material required for the next predetermined period of game execution (step S304). As mentioned above, the user device 3 includes a user passive data manager. The user passive data manager compares the first list of unique references with the unique reference to the passive data already stored in the user passive data storage device (step S306), and determines which of the first listed passives The material is not yet stored in the user passive data storage device (step S308). The user passive data manager then transmits a second list of unique references to the content verification and delivery module 124 via the server communication interface 130 (step S31). The second list indicates which of the first listed passive materials is not stored in the user passive data storage device and therefore needs to be downloaded to the user passive data storage device. The content verification and delivery module 124 uses a second list of references to determine what required passive data and its associated reference are to be transmitted to the user device 30, and the passive data controller 126 decides that it will be downloaded. The order of the passive materials to the user device 30 (step S3 12). Next, the inner grain collation and transfer module 124 retrieves a second list of passive data and its associated reference from the passive data storage device 110 (step S314) and transmits a copy of the passive data and its associated reference to the user device 30 ( Step S316) Next, the user passive data manager stores the transmitted passive data and the associated reference object in the user passive data storage device 37 200946192 of the user device 30. The active profile is only downloaded to the user device 3() during game execution and the active profile is not permanently on the user device. The active data is downloaded to the buffer area of the user device 3〇. However, the buffer area for passive data is set to be larger than the buffer area for active data. This is because, in most cases, a region requires more passive data and passive data tends to have a larger file size than active data. Therefore, passive data requires a long download time. In addition, the master data is stored on the user device only temporarily (very short period of time). The active data is fixedly overwritten at the user device 3 when it is no longer needed. Therefore, a live connection between the user device 3 and the game feeder 20 is required during game execution. If the user is not connected to the game service H 2G' * the user may be allowed to execute the downloaded game because the user device 30 has the active data required to store any game execution only the passive data is stored in the user device 3G. In addition, it is not possible for the user to create a subtitle of the game (for example, 'for resale') because the user device 30 does not store any active material required for game execution. Alternatively, the game is not used by the Peer-to-peer sharing network, and again because the user device 3G does not store any active data required for game execution. The main animal component communication module 122 retrieves the active data required for the game execution from the active data storage device 1 and transmits the active data to the user device 30 through the game servo communication interface 13G during game execution. Before the game is executed, 'active data will not be transmitted, and no (4) exists in the user's device 38 200946192. For a game user device at the user device 30, it is also possible to start with a conventional web browser. For example, the game user device automatically starts at the user device through the web interface 140 by clicking on the game listed on the web page (hosted by the game server 2) And start the initial basic minimum download or game execution (ie, active data flow and passive data flow) (if the game has been executed before). The game system 1 protects the game from being copied by the user. Further, the game system 1 can make it easy for a plurality of players to execute the game as long as all the players are connected to the game server 20. The invention has been described in terms of specific illustrative embodiments. It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and many variations and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention.
