Hereinafter, a method and a server for providing a user-selectable item combination service according to embodiments of the present invention 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 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 the present invention, the item combination service means all services in which at least one item is registered in a virtual space such as a combination target slot and at least one registered item is deleted and a new item is paid when the combination button is selected.

For example, it may be a service that consumes several items of the same kind to obtain new items of the same kind. Combining several weapon items to obtain a new weapon is a typical example.

In addition, there is an example of obtaining a new item by combining and then obtaining items corresponding to the material item. For example, a steel item and a hardened item may be combined to produce a knife item in a specific virtual space (eg, a smithy).

As in the above example, the item combination service has a feature that a plurality of items are consumed and a new item is acquired when a combination menu is registered after registering a plurality of items in common.

In the item combination service, a plurality of items are consumed to obtain one new item. In this case, the obtainable items may be preset according to the type of game.

For example, when combining weapon items, only weapon items may be set to win, or when combining weapon items, the armor items may be set to win. In the present invention to be described below, the items that can be won according to the combined items may be transmitted and displayed to the user terminal.

Referring to FIG. 1, in a method for providing a user-selectable item combination service according to an embodiment of the present invention, a server may input a selection input for at least one item that can be won by an item combination through an item combination interface. Upon reception from the terminal, setting the selected item as the first item (S10) is performed.

In the item combination service, various items can be obtained. In the present invention, the user can select an item to be acquired by himself / herself. To this end, the item combination interface may display information of items obtainable by the item combination service in the game serviced by the present invention.

At this time, in one embodiment of the present invention, only some of the expensive items among the obtainable items may be displayed. Alternatively, some items determined to be popular with the user may be displayed.

When the first item is set by the step S10, the server determines, in the item combination service interface, at least one item required for the item combination, that is, at least one item to be consumed when the item is combined, and the item determined from the user terminal. Receiving a registration input for each of the steps, these two steps are specifically, the interface for registering the determined item to the item combination service, the step of transmitting the item registration menu and the information of the item to be consumed to the user terminal (S20).

In the present invention, transmitting various information to the user terminal means controlling to display the information transmitted from the server on the display unit of the user terminal.

In operation S20, the server determines a certain item to be consumed regardless of the first item, sets different items to be consumed according to the first item, or randomly consumes the item every time the first item is set, even if the first item is the same. Can be set differently. In addition, when determining the item to be consumed, the type and grade of the item to be consumed may be set differently according to the first item.

For example, if the first item is a weapon item of 10 grade, the item to be consumed may be randomly set among 8 grade weapon items. In this case, the number of items to be consumed may be a predetermined number or the number may vary according to the first item.

As shown in step S20, the server receives the registration input from the user terminal for the item to be consumed and registers the item so that the item registration menu and item information are displayed on the item combination service interface. Can be transmitted to the user terminal.

In this case, the transmitted item registration menu may include a plurality of slots capable of registering an item. The slot means a virtual slot for registering an item, and means an empty storage space in which the item can be registered.

In addition, each slot may be matched with each item to be consumed to be registered in each slot, and the item information to be transmitted may include identification information of the item and information about the slot in which the item should be registered. That is, when displayed on the user terminal, an item corresponding to the slot, that is, information of an item to be registered in the slot, may be displayed in an area adjacent to the space when each slot space is displayed.

If an item to be consumed is determined for this purpose and an item registration menu with slots is generated, matching each slot with each item to be consumed may be performed. After matching, the information of the items to be registered in each slot is transmitted to the user terminal.

Thereafter, the server performs a step (S30) of receiving a registration input for an item corresponding to each slot, for each slot from the user terminal.

When the item to be consumed by the step S30 is registered in the server, the server determines the probability of winning the first item among the items that can be won including the first item and items other than the first item, that is, the item It is determined according to the number of registered slots (S40).

Even if all the items to be consumed in the present invention are registered, in order to give the thrill of the item combination, the present invention does not set the probability of winning the first item to 100%. However, the probability of winning the first item may be set higher according to the number of registered items.

To this end, when the first item is selected, the server selects some of the items that can be won by the item combination, and first calculates the probability of winning the first item among the first items and the items that can be selected in addition to the first item. do. Thereafter, the server selects one of the first item and items other than the first item according to the probability of winning the first item, and registers the winning item in the item database held by the user (S50).

Accordingly, in the present invention, by selecting an item to be acquired by the user and registering the item to be consumed to increase the probability of winning the item selected by the user, the user is given a reasonableness in the item combination service and excessive randomness It is possible to prevent the use of the item combination service.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for describing in detail providing an item combining interface to a user terminal for item combining in FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 2, when step S10 of first setting a first item by a user's selection input is performed, first, the server performs step S21 of generating an item registration menu as a basic frame. In step S21, the server generates a predetermined number of empty slots in the item registration menu.

After step S21, the server randomly selects items to be registered in each slot from among the registerable items, and performs step S22 of matching each slot. In this case, when randomly selecting as described above, the item may be selected according to the type and grade of the first item.

Thereafter, the server transmits the selected item information together with the item registration menu to the user terminal (S23). Through this, the user can check the information of the item to be registered in each slot together with each slot on the display unit of the terminal.

In order to provide a user with a new fun of item combination when there are a plurality of items to be registered in the present invention, the information of some items may not be delivered to the user.

The server first performs the setting step (S100) for the first item, and when performing the step S21 of generating an item registration menu and the step S22 of selecting each item determined as an item to be consumed and matching each slot, consumption In step S24, a predetermined number of items selected from among items determined to be items to be selected are randomly selected and set as a hidden item.

Subsequently, the server performs an operation (S25) of transmitting the information of the item except the information of the item set as the hidden item, to the user terminal, among the information of the item determined as the item to be consumed together with the item registration menu (S25).

At this time, upon receiving the registration input, the server may deactivate the slot so that the registration input for the slot is impossible to register any item for the slot corresponding to the hidden item. In response, the user terminal may transmit information indicating that the registration input for the hidden item is impossible to the user terminal.

As a result, some of the items to be consumed are set so that the user cannot know them, thereby increasing the thrill of the combination of the items and giving the user the expectation.

In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the server sets some of the items determined as items to be consumed as hidden items, and sets the hidden item information not to be displayed on the user terminal when information of the item to be consumed is transmitted. Through this, the user can check a state in which the item cannot be registered in the corresponding slot until the hidden item information is checked.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 4, the server waits for the item registration menu and the item registration input from the user terminal after performing the step S25 of transmitting the information of the item to be consumed except the hidden item to the user terminal. do.

In this case, in the present invention, in order to provide a service for querying the information of the hidden item, a menu for querying the information of the hidden item can be transmitted to the user terminal, and the server correspondingly, the hidden item from the user terminal Receiving an input for inquiring about the information (S26) is performed.

When the step S26 is performed, the server performs a step (S27) to settle and deduct any one of the game money and cash that is predetermined as necessary for inputting the inquiry of the hidden item from the user account.

When the step S27 is performed, the server activates the slot corresponding to the hidden item so that the hidden item information is displayed, so that the user can identify the hidden item and register the hidden item. The transmitting step (S28) is performed.

Thus, in addition to providing a combination service by the user's choice when using the item combination service, it is possible to generate new revenue using the item combination service by providing a new content service, and induce consumption of items to the user. It can be effective.

Referring to FIG. 5, first, the server performs a step S30 of receiving a registration input of an item for each slot corresponding to an item to be consumed from a user terminal.

Thereafter, the server analyzes the number of slots in which the item is registered (S41). Thereafter, the server calculates a probability of winning the first item in proportion to the analyzed slot number (S43).

This will allow the user to try to register as many items as possible. In addition, it is possible to increase the utilization rate of the hidden item inquiry service by promoting the desire to query the information of the above-mentioned hidden item.

Referring to FIG. 6, the probability of winning the first item is calculated to be proportional to the number of items registered in FIG. 5, that is, the number of slots in which the item is analyzed as registered.

After receiving the item registration input (S30), the server calculates a probability that the first item is won so that the item is proportional to the number of slots in which the item is registered, rather than when an item other than the hidden item is registered when the hidden item is registered. In operation S44, the first item may be set to have a higher probability of winning.

That is, in proportion to the number of registered items, the increase in the probability of winning the first item when the hidden item is registered is greater than the increase in the probability of winning the first item by the registration of the item except the hidden item. Can be set to Through this, it is possible to increase the utilization rate of the service for querying the information of the hidden item, thereby obtaining a profit generation effect.

Referring to FIG. 7, in calculating a probability of winning a first item, the server first receives a registration input for an item (S30), and analyzes rating information of the first item (S45).

In the present invention, a rating is set for the item of the game. In the present invention, the grade may be a numerical grade set to the same item, and the higher the numerical grade, the higher the effect of using the same item may be. Generally speaking, to "enhance" an item means to elevate the rating of the item.

In addition, the rating in the present invention may refer to the setting information that is not visible to users, classified in the game content on the basis of the effect of using various items, the transaction price. For example, weapon items may be listed according to the damage increase value, and the values may be graded by interval. Users can only check the damage boost value, the weapon's level may not be able to check.

After analyzing the rating information of the first item, the server performs a step (S46) for calculating the probability that the first item is won in inverse proportion to the analyzed first item's rating.

As mentioned above, the higher the level of the item, the higher the effect of applying the item, and the higher the probability of becoming an expensive item. Accordingly, in order to ensure the rareness of the first item, the probability of winning the first item when the items are combined is set in inverse proportion to the rank of the first item.

Referring to FIG. 8, after performing a step S30 of receiving a registration input for an item, the server performs an item combination by a combination input of items, before using the user input for a probability rising item. Receiving the step (S47) can be performed.

In the item combination service of the present invention, the winning probability of the first item serves as the most important factor. In this case, in the present invention, the user may provide content that may increase the probability of winning the first item, thereby facilitating use of the item combination service.

To this end, a probability rising item is provided to the user terminal, and a use input for the item is received through step S47.

Thereafter, the server extracts a probability increase value according to the type of probability increase item and applies the same to the winning probability calculation of the first item (S48).

In operation S48, the server may apply a probability increase value to the winning probability of the first item calculated according to the number of items registered, or apply the probability increase value as a variable when calculating the winning probability of the first item.

Afterwards, the server wins the item using the corrected winning probability, that is, the winning probability of the first item to which the probability rising value is applied, and then pays the item to the user (S51).

The server first sets the first item and then determines the item necessary for the item combination as the item to be consumed.

Before determining the item to be consumed, the server may perform a step S29 of receiving a usage input for the slot control item from the user terminal.

The server may provide a slot control item service to give new fun of the item combination service. As mentioned above, the item to be consumed may be differently determined according to the type and grade of the first item.

At this time, upon receiving the use input of the slot control item, the server selects an item to be consumed to be registered in each slot, and the item of a lower grade by a predetermined grade than the grade of the item to be consumed set according to the grade of the first item. May be set as an item to be consumed (S291).

For example, when an item of grade 10 is set as the first item, the server may select an item to be consumed among items of grade 8 when selecting an item to be consumed. At this time, if the user terminal detects that the slot control item is used, the item to be consumed is selected from the items of the sixth grade instead of the eighth grade.

Since a sixth grade item is lower than an eighth grade item, it is relatively easy to obtain the user, and thus, a user may use a lower price item to acquire the first item.
