Hereinafter, a method and an apparatus for managing an item using interface according to each embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The following embodiments are detailed description to help understand the present invention, and it should be understood that the present invention is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent inventions that perform the same functions as the present invention will also fall within the scope of the present invention.

In addition, in adding reference numerals to the components of each drawing, it should be noted that the same reference numerals are used as much as possible even if displayed on different drawings. In addition, in describing the present invention, when it is determined that the detailed description of the related well-known configuration or function may obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, in describing the component of this invention, terms, such as 1st, 2nd, A, B, (a), (b), can be used. These terms are only for distinguishing the components from other components, and the nature, order or order of the components are not limited by the terms. If a component is described as being "connected", "coupled" or "connected" to another component, that component may be directly connected to or connected to that other component, but there may be another configuration between each component. It is to be understood that the elements may be "connected", "coupled" or "connected".

In the embodiment of the present invention, "communication", "communication network" and "network" may be used as the same meaning. The three terms refer to wired and wireless local and wide area data transmission and reception networks capable of transmitting and receiving files between a user terminal, a terminal of other users, and a download server.

In the following description, “game server” means a server computer to which users access to use game contents. In the case of a game having a small capacity or a small number of users, a plurality of game programs may be operated in one game server. In addition, in the case of a game having a very large capacity or a large number of real-time access persons, there may be one or more game servers for operating one game depending on the function of the game.

In addition, the game server may be connected to a server that performs middleware or payment processing for the database, the description thereof will be omitted in the present invention.

In the present invention, the online game means game content that can be used by users by accessing the above-mentioned game server. In particular, it refers to a game in which a large number of users can simultaneously access and enjoy the game, and increase the level through actions such as acquiring experience value while nurturing characters through the game. In addition, in order to facilitate the progress of the game on the game, it means a game that can purchase a variety of items.

Here, the item means all data that can help the progress of the game and can generally be understood as an item in the game. For example, in a role-playing game, an experience value obtained when a character on behalf of a user defeats a monster, an item that allows for more gain, an item that can change the appearance of the character, and the like correspond to the item in the present invention. can do.

In addition, in sports games, card items that can use the character, items that increase the character's stats for a certain period of time, items that restore the character's condition, and the characters are equipped to improve the game's stats while modifying the appearance. As mentioned above in the game, such as giving items, all items that can be used by the character in the progress of the game, or that can be reflected on the game by the user on the web, will belong to the items in the present invention.

In addition, the item may be permanent or limited in duration of use. In this case, the same item but different duration means the same item in the present invention. For example, an item called "A" that raises a character's stats for one week and an item "A1" that raises two weeks may be recognized as another item in the item's database, but will be recognized as the same item.

Referring to FIG. 1, the method for managing an item use interface according to an embodiment of the present invention first receives a use input from a user terminal of at least one lottery item in which one of the at least one item is won. Step S10 is performed.

In the present invention, the lottery item refers to an item such as a kind of lottery ticket that pays at least one item to a user when used. Users can purchase the lottery item in the item shop, and use the lottery item on the 'inventory' screen to check the items held by the user.

As an example of a sports game, a player character necessary for a sports game may be acquired through a lottery item. When the lottery item is used, it may be an item capable of acquiring a random player character among the player characters belonging to the predetermined range according to the lottery item having a predetermined range (for example, the capability range). The type of the lottery item may be divided according to different ranges such as the capability range.

Therefore, the user can acquire any one item including a player character necessary for game progress using the lottery item. The lottery items may of course be used one by one and may have a plurality of identical lottery items.

The item using server detects the use of the lottery item from the user terminal by performing the step S10, and the acquired item information screen, which is an interface for displaying the information of the item obtained as a result of using the lottery item which is the object of the user input. To display on the user terminal (S20).

When the user uses the lottery item, the user acquires one of at least one item that can be obtained by using the lottery item. At this time, the server can display the information on the item obtained by the user on the screen of the user terminal.

For example, when using a lottery item for acquiring a player character in a sports game, information on the player character acquired by the user may be displayed on the screen of the user terminal. In this case, the information about the displayed item may include information about the effect and type of the item, together with the screen and the name of the item.

The acquired item information screen displayed on the user terminal may be displayed in an area allocated to a part of the item use screen in the item shop. Alternatively, the image may be a pop-up screen that overlays the item use screen in the item shop.

When the obtained item information screen is displayed, the server performs a step (S30) of outputting a continuous use menu to a part of the acquired item information screen. The continuous use (or continuous use) menu refers to an interface provided so that the lottery item used by the user can be reused to display the current acquired item information screen.

That is, the user can use the same lottery item again only by selecting the continuous use menu displayed on a part of the acquired item information screen without closing the acquired item information screen and using the item again.

Therefore, in the present invention, the user may use an inventory structure capable of holding a plurality of identical lottery items. In addition, the items available through the continuous use menu will be limited to the same items as the previously used lottery items as mentioned above.

When receiving the selection input for the continuous use menu output by step S30, the server controls to use the lottery item (S40). That is, the method of using a plurality of items in the present invention includes a method of using an item in the item use screen in the item shop through step S10 of FIG. There is a way to select the use menu.

The method for the continuous use of the lottery item mentioned in the description of FIG. 1 may be equally used for not only the lottery item but also other items. That is, the lottery item has an effect of acquiring at least one item as a result of using the lottery item, so that the information of the item acquired as a result of using the item is displayed on the acquired item information screen.

However, the same method can be used when controlling a user who has a plurality of general items other than the lottery item to use the item multiple times. That is, the user may receive a usage input from at least one of the same items held by the user from the user terminal.

In this case, the use effect of the item may be displayed on the display unit of the user terminal connected to the item shop, which may be referred to as an item use result screen. For example, in a role-playing game, when using an item for restoring a character's health, a popup screen may display an item use result screen indicating that the character's health has been restored as a result of using the item.

In this case, the item use result screen may display a continuous use menu, which is a menu for reusing the same item as the used item, in a portion thereof. When the user receives an input of selecting the continuous use menu, the game server may receive the same item. You can control to use.

As such, various items including a lottery item, in particular, a result screen using the item may be displayed, and in the case of an item capable of holding a plurality of the same item, according to an embodiment of the present invention, users may easily use the item. In addition, the effect of using the item can also be intuitively confirmed, thereby increasing the item utilization rate, thereby increasing the profitability of the item service business.

2 illustrates an example of a flow in which an acquired item information screen is displayed according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, portions that overlap with the description of FIG. 1 will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 2, a step (S10) of receiving a usage input from a user terminal for a plurality of lottery items or one of a plurality of identical items as mentioned above is performed.

At this time, in order for the use result screen or the obtained item information screen of the item to be displayed, the use result of the item is determined or an item acquired by the user by the use of the lottery item must be determined.

In this case, the server may control to display a screen indicating that the item is in use for a predetermined time in order to give tension and expectation to the user.

To this end, in the present invention, the server displays the information (S11) of at least one item that can be obtained through the use of the lottery item, during the calculation time (or simply a predetermined time) determined whether the winning item and the acquired item (S11) Can be done. In S11, the information on the obtainable item may be displayed repeatedly or continuously. This can generally be expressed as an image effect, such as turning a slide image at high speed.

In other words, the effect displayed through the step S11, that is, from the reception of the use input from the user terminal, means that the item obtained by the user is determined, and displayed until just before the information of the acquired item is displayed.

In the case of the same item that can be generally used instead of the lottery item, step S11 may be omitted, or may be expressed as an effect such that a gauge is filled to express the effect of the item.

Referring to FIG. 3, first, an operation S20 of displaying, by a server, an acquired item information screen or an item use result screen on a user terminal is performed.

The user will want to know how much more he can use this item before using it continuously through step S30 of FIG. This means the expectation of the user who wants to control the usage of the item in the game to use the game efficiently or economically.

Therefore, in the present invention, in the acquired item information screen or the item use result screen, not the inventory screen, step S21 of displaying how much of the same lottery item or general item that the user can use is left.

That is, the number of identical lottery items or general items remaining to the current user is displayed on a screen in which the acquired item information is displayed or in a screen in which the result of using the item is displayed, so that the user grasps the number of items remaining in the user. It will be possible to use economical items.

In this case, the displayed number is the number of items left to the user by subtracting an item used by the user to display the current acquired item information or the result of using the item, that is, using the current item.

Referring to FIG. 5, first, a step S30 of outputting a continuous use menu for using the same lottery item as the lottery item may be performed in the acquired item information screen or the item use result screen.

If the user has exhausted items as a result of using the item repeatedly using the continuous use menu, the user should have the user repurchase the item or stop using the item.

To this end, when the server first receives an input from the user terminal for the continuous use menu, it is determined from the user's holding item database whether the user has the same lottery item or simply the same item (S31).

At this time, if the user has the same lottery item or the same item, as shown in S40 of FIG. 1 to control to use the item again. However, if it is determined in step S31 that the user does not have the same lottery item or the same item, the server controls to display a screen indicating that the same lottery item or the continuous use of the same item failed on the user terminal because the item does not exist. Step S41 is performed.

In this way, the user may not only simply use the item continuously but may also purchase the item again during continuous use of the item, thereby greatly increasing the profitability of the item service.

Referring to FIG. 5, first, a step (S10) of receiving a usage input from a user terminal for one of a lottery item or the same item is performed. In this case, in order to warn the user of accidentally using an important or expensive item, the following functions may be performed.

In other words, after receiving the usage input, the server performs a step (S12) of displaying a menu to query the user terminal whether to use the lottery item or the same item. That is, for example, a screen for displaying information such as 'Use XX items' is displayed, and an input menu for checking whether to use the item is output.

After the step S12, when receiving a selection input for the confirmation menu or an input for the use confirmation menu from the user terminal, performing the step of using the lottery item or the same item (S13), and then the item information obtained by the user Alternatively, step S20 of FIG. 1 is displayed to display a screen of a result of using the item.

6 is a block diagram of an item using interface management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, portions that overlap with the description of FIGS. 1 to 5 will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 6, an item use input receiver 11, a use result determiner 12, and an interface provider 13 may be included.

The item use input receiver 11 receives a use input from the user terminal 20 for at least one same item or the same lottery item possessed by the user among items available through a certain interface such as an item shop of game content. Perform the function.

The interface for receiving the use input by the item use input receiving unit 11 is an item use interface stored in the item use input receiving unit 11 itself or an interface relating to the use of items provided by the interface providing unit 13. That is, the interface providing unit 13 may additionally perform a function of providing an interface for using an item, in addition to a screen interface displaying a continuous use menu to be described below.

The use result determination unit 12 performs a function of determining an item to be obtained by the user as a result of using the lottery item. In this case, when the item used by the user is not the lottery item but the same general item, the use result determining unit 12 determines the use result of the same item and performs a function of determining the use effect of the item.

When determining the use effect of the item, the use result determination unit 12 connects to the item database 30 and determines the number of possession of the item based on the consumption of the item using the item from the database for the item held by the user. You can make a deduction.

In this case, when the item used by the user is a lottery item, the use result determination unit 12 connects to the item database 30 and delivers information about the item obtained by the user. In this case, the item database 30 may search for the information of the item obtained by the user and transmit it to the user terminal 20.

When the interface providing unit 13 confirms whether or not the usage input is received from the item usage input receiving unit 11, the item usage result screen displaying a result of using the item and a continuous use menu which is a menu for reusing the item. It performs a function of providing an interface for displaying on the user terminal 20. In addition, upon receiving the selection input of the user terminal 20 for the continuous use menu, the item use input receiver 11 performs a function of transferring the use input of the same item.

At this time, if the item is a lottery item, information on the item obtained by the user will be displayed on a part of the screen provided with the result of using the item among the interfaces provided by the interface providing unit 13.

In this case, as mentioned in the description of FIG. 4, when the interface providing unit 13 receives the selection input for the continuous use menu, whether the user has the same item or the same lottery item from the user's own item database. When receiving information on whether the user does not have the same item or the lottery item, it may perform a function of providing the user terminal with an interface including a screen indicating that the continuous use of the same item or the lottery item has failed. .

In addition, as mentioned in the description of FIG. 3, when providing an interface including the item use result screen, the interface providing unit 13 uses the same item or the lottery item for a part of the screen, and then the remaining same as the user holds. A function of displaying the number information of the item or the lottery item may also be performed.
