Hereinafter, a method and a server for providing a reward item 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.

In the present invention, the level is information indicating the user's rating, and the users can increase the level by accumulating points such as the experience value obtained as a result of the game play. The level may be represented by numerical information and character information. There may be a minimum level upon first use of the game and a level that can be attained to the maximum as a result of the game play.

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.

Referring to FIG. 1, a server (hereinafter referred to as a server) that provides a reward item to a user's account in an online game may classify the user's levels into at least one level section in the online game, and the level belonging to each level section. In operation S10, the play pattern information of the online game of the users may be analyzed.

The level section means a range of levels belonging to each group when grouping the above-mentioned levels. For example, if the level a user can achieve is from 1 to 100, each section may be defined by grouping every level of 10 units. That is, the interval of the level may be defined by the level of 1 to 10, the level of 11 to 20, and the like.

In this case, the server may classify only levels below a predetermined threshold level into at least one level section. It is because one of the important objects of the present invention is to induce the settlement of the game by paying reward items to users who enter the game early, that is, low level users. That is, the preset threshold level is a level that can be set by an input from the manager terminal and the like, and is preferably a level for defining novice users. For games that can achieve levels from 1 to 100, for example, only levels from 1 to 20 may be classified into multiple level sections.

The server defines a level section to classify the level into each level section, and then analyzes play pattern information of users of the level belonging to each level section. For example, users of levels 1 to 10 can analyze the pattern information of playing a game on an online game.

The play pattern information analyzed in the present invention means all information that can be statistically calculated, such as a character mainly played by a user, an item mainly used, and information on a map mainly played. For example, by measuring the frequency of items used by users in the corresponding level section, the most used item or the item most searched in the item shop may be included in the play pattern information.

Analysis target users whose play pattern information is analyzed may be all users of the corresponding level section, or users who play within the predetermined period of the preset time period among users of the level section (for example, play in the corresponding level section for the last week). One user). The server may analyze the play pattern information of the users by analyzing the log information of the users, and filter the users to analyze the play pattern information.

When the play pattern information is analyzed, the server performs a step S20 of matching the set item with the analyzed play pattern information to any level set for each level section.

Setting one level for each level section may be determined by an input of a manager terminal. For example, when an input such as 5 is selected in a level section from 1 to 10, the server may select corresponding level information according to the input of the manager terminal and match any item with the selected level.

For example, in the play pattern information of users of levels 1 to 10, when the most used item exists, the item may be matched and stored at the set level 5.

Subsequently, when the user's level reaches one of the levels set for each level section, the server performs an operation S30 of providing an item matched to the user's account.

Referring to the above example, when the server detects that the user's level reaches level 5, the server pays the item matching the level 5 to the user's account as a reward item.

Through the above process, the user can be paid as a reward item for items that are mainly used by other users while playing the game initially, that is, not familiar with the mechanism of the game. In this case, the item matched to the level section is likely to be the most efficient item for game play in the level section, and thus users can use the game play efficiently and efficiently using the efficient items. Accordingly, there is an effect that can induce the user to settle in the game.

Referring to FIG. 2, the server first stores an identification information of a matched item in a data table provided for each level section (S21).

In the present invention, the information of the reward item provided to the user account according to the embodiment of FIG. 1 may be stored in a data table as in the embodiment of FIG. 2. That is, a data table exists for each level section or any level set for each level section that is a level at which a reward is provided as described above, and identification information of a matched item may be stored in the corresponding data table.

Thereafter, the server stores the effect information, which is information for explaining the effect and function of the item corresponding to the stored identification information, in the data table (S22).

The identification information of the item refers to information that can recognize which item the item is. However, for the novice user, it is difficult to recognize only the identification information of the item to see what effects and functions when the item is applied in the game to help play.

Therefore, in the present invention, not only the identification information of the item but also the effect information is stored in the data table. The effect information of an item means all the information about the beneficial effect provided when the item is applied on an online game. For example, all the information about the ability to be raised when the item is worn, additional ability to be obtained when using the item, experience, points, and the like may be included.

By storing the identification information and the effect information of the item as a data table, the administrator can easily change the reward item through a simple operation of modifying the information in the data table when the reward item is changed.

If the reward information is to be paid as a reward item in the data table for each level section through step S22, that is, the identification information and the effect information of the matched item are stored, when the server provides the corresponding item as the reward item to the user account, the item is provided. In operation S31, the notification information is provided to the user terminal.

That is, when the user reaches a certain level, as mentioned above, the item is provided, and guide information indicating that the item is provided is displayed on the display unit of the user terminal. In this case, the guide information is displayed along with identification information of the provided item, and effect information of the provided item is displayed.

This makes it easier for early users to enter the game, as well as information on how to use the items provided as rewards and how they can benefit the gameplay. Increasing the interest in gameplay. The above information may be controlled to be displayed on one screen at a time when the guide information is displayed or to be displayed when a user clicks through a pop-up menu.

Referring to FIG. 3, when the server first informs that a reward item is provided to a user account, the server performs step S31 of providing the identification information and the effect information of the item to the user terminal.

In this case, in the embodiment of FIG. 3, the server may provide information about one level set in a level section higher than a level section to which one level reached by the user, and information of an item matched to one level set in a high level section. The extraction step S32 is performed.

As mentioned above, a level section means a grouping of levels in a game that can be achieved by a user. That is, the level section higher than the level section to which one level reached by the user means the next at least one level section among the sections classified in level order.

For example, the level sections are classified into 1 to 5, 6 to 10, 11 to 15, etc., and any level set in each level section is 2, 6, or 11, and the user reaches level 2 and reaches level 2. When the matching item is provided, the level section higher than the level section 1 to 5 to which the two levels reached by the user may be the level section 6 to 10. In addition, a level section of 11 to 15 may also be included in the high level section.

That is, when the user reaches the level 2, the server extracts at least one level information of at least one of 6 and 11 which are levels set for the level sections 6 to 10 and the level sections 11 to 15 when the user reaches the level 2. In addition, information of the item matching the extracted level information among the

levels

6 and 11 is also extracted.

Hereinafter, a high level section will be described by referring to the next one level section, for example, but in various modifications of the embodiment of the present invention, a high level section may mean two or more level sections. .

When the step S32 is performed, the server performs the step S33 of providing the extracted next level of information and the information of the item matching the level to the user terminal. In this case, the information of the item provided to the user terminal may include identification information of the item and effect information of the item as described above.

That is, when all the embodiments of FIG. 3 are applied, the user terminal displays identification information and effect information of an item provided when the user reaches a predetermined level, and the user is compensated according to an embodiment of the present invention. Information on the next level, and identification information and effect information of the item that can be obtained when the level is reached may be displayed.

Through this, the user can receive the reward item when reaching a certain level and use it in the game, and check the information of the item that can be obtained when the level is reached together with the next level information that can be rewarded. Can be. Through this, the user may have a desire to play, and thus, the user can expect an effect that can effectively induce the settling into the game.

4 is a flowchart of a method of providing a reward item according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, portions overlapping with the description of FIGS. 1 to 3 will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 4, the server first detects that the user's level rises and reaches any one level among at least one compensation payment level arranged in the level order (S40).

Thereafter, the server performs an operation (S50) of selecting items that match any one level reached by the user's level among items matched with each reward payment level. In this case, the matched items mean items that are set using play pattern information of users of a level belonging to a level section to which each reward payment level belongs.

When step S50 is performed, the server performs step S60 of providing the selected item to the user's account.

The embodiment of FIG. 4 refers to an embodiment of a specific flow of paying each item set by the embodiment of FIG. 1 to a user's account. That is, the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 3 may be applied in the same manner.

That is, the reward payment level may be set for levels below the predetermined threshold level. In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3, the compensation payment level means the same level as any one level set for a plurality of level sections.

In addition, when providing the item selected in step S60, the server may provide the identification information and effect information of the selected item to the user terminal so that the user can conveniently check the function and effect of the item.

On the other hand, when performing the step S60, the server provides the user with information about the next compensation payment level of any one level of the user's level, that is, the compensation payment level, and the information of the item matched with the next compensation payment level. It can be provided to the terminal. Of course, the information of the item provided at this time may include the effect information of the item together with the identification information of the item.

Specifically, the embodiment of FIG. 5 is an example of a flow that may further induce the settling of a novice user to a game as mentioned above when paying a reward item to a user according to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4.

Referring to FIG. 5, when the server first detects that the user's level rises, the server performs step S41 of extracting the user's raised level information. Thereafter, the server performs a step S42 of determining whether the extracted user level is less than the threshold level.

As mentioned in the description of FIGS. 1 to 4 above, in order to achieve the object of the present invention to induce game users to beginners, the reward item may be provided only to users below a predetermined threshold level.

On the other hand, in the embodiment of Figure 5, there is a basic provided item that is provided every time the user's level increases. The basic provision item refers to a fixed item or a selected item of at least one item when the user's level increases. The basic provided item may be set to the same or different item as the reward item provided in the embodiment of the present invention.

If it is determined in step S42 that the user's level is greater than or equal to the threshold level, the server performs step S70 of providing the user account with a basic item selected from at least one item that can be paid at the level up. . That is, the item provided when the predetermined level, which is designated as the reward item in the present invention, is excluded from the object of providing.

On the other hand, if it is determined that it is less than the threshold level, as in the embodiment of FIG. 4, the server determines whether the user's level has reached one of the at least one reward payment level (S43), and if it is determined to have reached. In operation S50, an item matching the level reached by the user is selected. Thereafter, step S60 of paying the selected item to the user account is performed.

At this time, the above-mentioned step S70 is additionally performed. That is, users whose level is below the threshold level, will additionally obtain a reward item set by the embodiment of the present invention together with the basic provided item.

That is, according to the embodiment of FIG. 5, the first-time users are provided with additional reward items paid to the first-time users, that is, the users with low levels, in addition to the items basically paid according to the level rise. Accordingly, more effective game play is possible, and since an item required by the user is additionally provided, an effect that can induce users to settle in the game can be obtained.

In the above description, it will be appreciated that the basic provided item and the reward item may be one or more items. Also, a plurality of identical items may be provided or a plurality of different items may be provided.
