Abstract

Provided is a game system and a game method which is related to be used to provide at least one game invitation party using a first terminal device and at least one game invitation receiving party using a second terminal device connecting with the first terminal device via a network to play an on line game. The first and the second terminal device can be a network phone (IP phone) or a non-network phone (like digital game machine). By using the IP phone number or the IP address of the terminal device for network connection, the two parties can play the on line game. At first, the first terminal device is set to receive a game item selected by a game invitation party, and through a network system, a connection message is sent to a game invitation receiving party of the second terminal device. Then the game invitation receiving party of the second terminal device responds to the connection message sent from the game invitation party of the first terminal device, and the game invitation receiving party confirms the game item selected by the game invitation party and further sends an invitation receiving message back to the first terminal device. And after the first terminal device receives the invitation receiving message sent from the second terminal device, the first terminal device delivers game items related message to the second terminal device via the network system to permit the game invitation party of the first invitation party to play the on-line game with the game invitation receiving party of the second terminal device.

Description

1243068 V. Description of the invention α) [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a game system and method, and more specifically, to a game system and method using an IP phone as a use platform. [Prior technology] V ο IP (V 〇ice 〇ver IP) Internet phone, is a voice signal compressed into data packets, and based on the IP network to transmit voice services, that is, through the Internet (hereinafter referred to as Internet) Telecom application service system for transmitting voice. With the popularity of Internet, the connection cost of Internet phone is getting lower and lower. Users can dial domestic or international long-distance calls through Interne t, which can save 60% compared with the rate of local calls. The cost of long distance calls above. In addition, due to the development of technology and the increasingly developed broadband network, V ο IP telephones provide highly stable voice services, which are almost comparable to the call quality of traditional telephones, so users can not only save high call costs, but also enjoy high Quality voice service. Therefore, VoIP (Voice over IP) Internet phone is accepted by the public with the above advantages. However, the general V ο IP phone only has a single voice communication function, and it is very inconvenient to use only voice to achieve communication between the two parties. For example, in addition to using voice to communicate related information between users in two places, they also need to obtain the other person ’s real-time expressions (such as happiness, anger, etc.) to achieve face-to-face communication. To this end, video support is necessary. . Or, when an engineer transmits an engineering project, the graphic support is used to express many details related to the engineering project, and video support is even more necessary. As a result, IP phones have been added with video support such as LCD

In this way, the producers can use this network to share the market share of the SFL product market. In order to increase the commercial benefits of Internet phone manufacturers, it is also a common goal sought by all manufacturers. Based on the fact that Internet telephony already has video support technologies such as LCD, Internet telephony manufacturers have continued to develop various entertainment features of Internet telephony in order to enhance more potential business benefits to better meet user needs. . For example, in the current era of the Internet, online games are a relatively common entertainment item for users, and gradually become one of the entertainment items that users do n’t have to work. To this end, online game functions are set up on Internet phones. It should also be one of the ways for Internet phone manufacturers to increase the market share of Internet phones. Therefore, making the Internet phone with this new online game function, and further making the Internet phone a source of entertainment for users is a problem that needs to be solved at present. [Summary of the Invention] In view of the above objects, the main object of the present invention is to provide a game system and method, which are applied to an Internet phone and another Internet phone or network device (such as Desktop computers, digital assistants, digital game consoles, and other electronic devices), so that in addition to general communication functions, the Internet phone also provides users with online gaming functions. Another object of the present invention is to provide a game system and method, which uses an internet phone as a platform for online games, and makes the internet
