Hereinafter, an item usage period control method and a server therefor will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the following description, in order to clarify the understanding of the present invention, description of well-known technology for the features of the present invention will be omitted. 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 the following description, the same identification symbol means the same configuration, and unnecessary redundant descriptions and descriptions of well-known technologies will be omitted.

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 sports game means game contents of a sports item that can be used by users by accessing the above-mentioned game server. In particular, it means a content that a plurality of users in the game can be connected at the same time to enjoy sports competition. In addition, various types of items may be purchased to facilitate the progress of the game on the game.

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 sports game to be played, an item that can change the experience value of the character appearing in the game or change the appearance of the character may correspond to the item in the present invention.

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 particular, an item according to the present invention has a function of simulating a virtual game result between a team to which it belongs and a team operated by a virtual server, or a team operated by a virtual server by a user inputting the selected item. It can be displayed as part of the menu.

In addition, the item may be permanent or limited in terms of the use effect. In this case, the same item but different in usage period 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. In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the simulation items are displayed as different items according to the game progression method. For example, the item for which the simulation is conducted in the tournament manner and the item for which the simulation is performed in the league manner are displayed on the user terminal as different items.

In addition, in the present invention, the usage period may be set by the administrator as a restriction in using the item by the user. In the case of an item whose usage period has expired, the user may renew the usage period of the item or remove it without using it.

The usage period may be actual time or time on the game, but in the case of a sports game, it may be a fixed number of games. For example, an item for which the use period is set to 10 games is expired when the user uses the item when playing 10 games in the sports game. In addition, the usage period of the item may include the number of uses.

Therefore, in the present invention, extending the usage period means extending the actual time, the time in the game, the number of games, the number of times of use, and the like, wherein the extended usage period is set by the administrator for at least one kind of period. May be selected and extended, or a predetermined period of time may be extended at the time of extension.

In the present invention, the "game mode" refers to a game progression method, i.e., a method of covering a final winner between a team operated by a user and a team operated by a game server. In the game mode, a plurality of teams each play a plurality of games, and there is a winning method for determining the final winner according to the winning rate, and a tournament method in which the winning team advances to the next game after the game play. Alternatively, the winning rate determination method and the tournament method may be mixed, for example, in the preliminary match, the winning method may be determined, and in the final game, the tournament mode may also be used. The present invention configures a separate item corresponding to each of the "game modes", and performs simulation according to the progressing game mode according to a user input of the item.

Referring to FIG. 1, in operation S110, a selection input for a simulation item, which is an item that simulates a game result, is received from a user terminal in an online sports game. In this case, the simulation is the result of a game between a team operated by the user and a plurality of teams operated by the AI of the game server. Herein, the game result proceeds according to a game mode according to any one of a winning rate determination method and a tournament method. Therefore, in the present invention, the simulation item is configured differently according to each game mode, and the tournament-type simulation item and the winning-number determination method simulation item are displayed as separate items on the user terminal.

Thereafter, according to the game mode extracted from the item, a step of simulating a game between any one of a team operated by the user and a plurality of teams operated by the artificial intelligence is performed (S120).

Further, in one embodiment of the present invention, the simulation simulates the results for at least one or more games simultaneously or sequentially. That is, in the league method, after extracting a plurality of game results in which each of the plurality of teams played against different opponent teams, the winning team may be shown to the user according to the winning rate. In contrast, in the tournament method, a combination of a plurality of teams is formed first, and then, each team's confrontation is sequentially simulated. As described above, the simulation items according to the present invention correspond to different game modes, and the simulation results provided to the user terminal according to each game mode may be slightly different.

Thereafter, the simulation result is provided to the user terminal (S130).

Referring to FIG. 2, a user terminal 210 and a game server 220 networked to the user terminal are disclosed. The game server 220 provides online sports game contents to a user terminal, and executes the game contents according to a user manipulation at the user terminal.

In addition,

simulation items

241 and 242 are displayed on the user terminal. In FIG. 2,

simulation items

241 and 242 for a tournament-type game mode and a winning rate determination method are displayed, respectively.

The tournament method is a method in which the winning team is determined in a relatively short time. For example, in FIG. 2, the simulation item 241 for the game mode of the tournament method is represented as an item (xx cup simulation) indicating the winning team of a specific cup.

However, the winning rate determination method is a method in which the winning team is determined over a relatively long time, for example, a league method in soccer, which corresponds to the league item 242 in FIG. 2.

Referring to FIG. 3, the user selects a “xx cup simulation” item 241 which is a tournament-type game simulation item among the displayed items. In response to the selection of the game simulation item 241, the game server 220 receiving the selection signal performs a game simulation in a tournament manner. Thereafter, the game server 220 provides the simulation result to the user terminal 210, so that the user can check the winning team for the particular cup and its ranking (see FIG. 4). Here, the winning team according to the simulation is determined differently in the tournament method and the odds determination method. For example, the championship team may be the championship team of the final game in at least one game of the tournament system (tournament system). However, in the case of the winning rate determination method, when all of the at least one game is completed, the winning team may be a team having the highest win rate among all the teams included in the preset game mode. In addition, the simulation result provided to the user terminal 230 is a game win or lose result for at least one or more games, where the game win or lose result may be displayed differently according to the game mode.

5 and 6, in the case of the winning rate determination method, the winning rate information may be provided for each ranking team (x win x lose, win rate 61%). However, in the case of the tournament method, a game win / loss record for each round of the winning team may be provided to the user terminal and displayed.

Another embodiment of the present invention provides a simulation management method in which a simulation is selectively performed according to a game mode played by a user and a game mode of an actually input simulation item.

Referring to FIG. 7, the game server receives a selection input for a simulation item from a user terminal (S210). In the present invention, the simulation is performed in the online sports game, a game included in a predetermined game mode that covers the winning team through at least one game played between a team operated by the user and a plurality of teams operated by the AI of the game server. Refers to any computer process that simulates game results in which the artificial intelligence of the server has played a team of users on behalf of the user. In addition, the game mode corresponds to the method of covering the winning team.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the “preset game mode” is a game mode determined by selecting and inputting a game mode that the user plays in advance. Before game play, the user selects one of a tournament method and a league method from a selection menu. Game mode can be set in advance.

Thereafter, it is determined whether a game mode corresponding to the selection input item included in the selection input item information matches the preset game mode (S220). That is, in step S220, it is determined whether the game mode of the game played by the user and the game mode of the item are the same, and whether or not the simulation proceeds is determined according to the determination result.

If the game mode corresponding to the selected input item matches the preset game mode according to the determination result in step S220, the team operated by the user and the artificial intelligence operating according to the matched game mode are operated. The game between any one of the plurality of teams is simulated (S230) and the result is displayed on the user terminal (S260). For example, when the simulation item is in a league game mode as shown in FIG. 2 or the like, and the game that the user plays next belongs to the same league method, the simulation proceeds. However, if the simulation item is a cup method, and the game played by the user belongs to the league method, the simulation step is minimized and no further progresses (S240).

If the simulation step is minimized, the game server transmits a message indicating that the simulation is impossible to the user terminal (S250). As a result, the user can recognize that the game mode of the currently playing game is different from that of the simulation item. The message may further include information about which game mode simulation should be performed as well as information that current simulation is not possible.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the game to be the simulation target is a game after a game already played by the user among a plurality of games. For example, if a user has actually played a game of 16 rounds out of a total of 50 rounds of games, the game simulated starts from the 17th round.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method in which the range of the simulated game varies according to the level of the simulation item. For example, in the case of level 1, only a total of 5 games can be simulated after a game that the user has already played. The five games may be continuous or discontinuous depending on user selection.

As the simulation item level rises, the number and time of games simulated gradually increase. This allows the user to intentionally avoid a game with a weak team if the team he manages is strong, thereby increasing user interest in the game.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the “preset game mode” is a game mode determined by selecting and inputting a game mode that the user plays in advance. Before game play, the user selects one of a tournament method and a league method from a selection menu. You can set the game mode in advance.

Further, in one embodiment of the present invention, the simulation simulates the results for at least one or more games simultaneously or sequentially. That is, in the league method, after extracting a plurality of game results in which each of the plurality of teams played against different opponent teams, the winning team may be shown to the user according to the winning rate. In contrast, in the tournament method, a combination of a plurality of teams is formed first, and then, each team's confrontation is sequentially simulated. As described above, the simulation items according to the present invention correspond to different game modes, and the simulation results provided to the user terminal according to each game mode may be different.

In order to solve the above another problem, there is provided a management device that can manage game simulation in an online sports game.

Referring to FIG. 8, in the online sports game, the management device according to an embodiment of the present invention may be one of a winning rate determining method and a tournament method between a team operated by a user and a plurality of teams operated by an artificial intelligence of a game server. Simulate a game included in a predetermined game mode that covers a winning team through at least one game played according to one, wherein the artificial intelligence of the server simulates a game result of playing a user's team on behalf of the user. An item receiving unit 310 for receiving a selection input for the item from the user terminal.

The item receiver 310 is provided in a game server connected to a user terminal through a network, and the item receiver 310 receives a user selection input signal of a simulation item displayed on the user terminal.

Game simulation management apparatus according to the present invention includes a game mode extraction unit 320 for extracting a game mode from the simulation item received an input signal from the item receiving unit 310. In the present invention, the game mode relates to a method of determining the winner of the game, and the game mode is determined according to the tournament or the odds determination method or a mixture thereof.

The management device is a game simulation unit 330 to play a game between any one of a team operated by the user and a plurality of teams operated by the artificial intelligence according to the game progress mode extracted by the game mode extraction unit 320 Include.

In particular, the game simulation unit 330 simulates a game that proceeds from the next rather than a game played by the user, and the game simulation proceeds according to the game mode of the selected item. For example, in the case of the tournament method, the simulation is conducted in such a way that the victorious team advances to the next game as in the tournament. On the contrary, in the case of the odds determination method, all teams in the league play with each other and then calculate the odds. This is going on. Accordingly, the game simulation unit 330 of the management apparatus according to the present invention simulates at least one game simultaneously or sequentially, and the result is provided to the user terminal by the following simulation result providing unit.

If the game mode is a tournament system, the winning team becomes the winning team of the final game among the at least one game included in the game mode. On the contrary, when the game mode is the winning rate determining method, the winning team becomes the team having the highest win rate among all the teams included in the winning rate determining game mode when all of the at least one game is completed.

The game simulation management apparatus according to the present invention includes a simulation result providing unit 340 for providing a simulation result by the game simulation unit 330 to the user terminal as described above. The simulation result display method also varies depending on the game mode, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

The game simulation management apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention compares the game mode of the item selected and input by the user with the game mode of the game played by the actual user, and proceeds with the simulation in the same game mode. If not, provide a technique that does not proceed with the simulation.

Referring to FIG. 9, in the online sports game, the management device may be configured in a preset game mode that covers a winning team through at least one game played between a team operated by a user and a plurality of teams operated by an artificial intelligence of a game server. The included game includes an item receiving unit 410 for receiving a selection input for a simulation item, which is an item that allows the artificial intelligence of the server to simulate a game result of playing a team of a user on behalf of the user. . The item receiver 410 receives a user selection input signal of a simulation item displayed on the user terminal.

The game simulation management apparatus according to the present invention comprises an item matching determination unit 420 that determines whether a game mode corresponding to the selected input item included in the selected input item information matches the predetermined game mode. Include. That is, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the item matching determination unit 420 is a game mode of the game currently played by the user, that is, the preset game mode and the game mode of the item previously selected by the user in the game settings Determine if it matches. For example, when a user selects a league simulation item during a tournament game, the preset game mode (tournament) and the game mode (league) of the simulation item selected by the user do not match each other. On the contrary, when the user selects a tournament simulation item, the preset game mode (tournament) and the game mode (tournament) of the simulation item selected by the user are matched with each other.

When the item matching determination unit 420 determines that the game mode corresponding to the selected input item matches the predetermined game mode, the management device according to the present invention operates the user according to the matched game mode. And a game simulation unit 430 for simulating a game between any one of a team and a plurality of teams operated by the artificial intelligence. On the contrary, if the item matching determination unit 420 determines that the game mode corresponding to the selected input item does not match the preset game mode, the simulation unit 430 does not perform the simulation.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the game simulation unit 430 simulates a game that proceeds from the next instead of the game that the user has previously played, and the game simulation proceeds according to the game mode of the selected item. For example, in the case of the tournament method, the simulation is conducted in such a way that the victorious team advances to the next game as in the tournament. On the contrary, in the case of the odds determination method, all teams in the league play with each other and then calculate the odds. This is going on. Accordingly, the game simulation unit 430 of the management apparatus according to the present invention simulates at least one game simultaneously or sequentially, and the result is provided to the user terminal by the following simulation result providing unit 440.

The management apparatus according to the present invention includes a simulation result providing unit 450 for providing a simulation result of the game simulation unit 440 to the user terminal.
