In addition, it is to be understood that the location or arrangement of individual components within each disclosed embodiment may be changed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The following detailed description, therefore, is not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention, if properly described, is defined only by the appended claims, along with the full range of equivalents to which such claims are entitled. Like reference numerals in the drawings refer to the same or similar functions throughout the several aspects.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention.

The present invention is a gameplay lock device for preventing children and adolescents from being addicted to smartphone games addictive applications only after using a certain time, such as beneficial applications such as cognitive game applications or educational applications that help improve cognitive ability The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for playing a predetermined time.

Referring to FIG. 1, the application execution control method includes a classification step (S01) of a type of an application, a monitoring step (S02) of a play time of an advantageous application, granting execution permission and a playable time compensation for an addictive application ( S03), when the addictive application is played for more than the playable time, blocking the execution (S04), providing the application execution information statistics and statistics (S05), and providing information to the friends on the achievement of the goal of the beneficial application. Step S06 is included. For reference, steps S05 and S06 of the above steps are not necessarily required.

In step S01, applications that can be executed in a portable terminal such as a smartphone or a smart pad are divided into addictive applications such as games and beneficial applications such as educational contents. Beneficial applications may include learning-type content related to memorizing words and learning Chinese words for infants and young children, and cognitive improvement content implementation applications for children, and video lectures such as TOEIC and TOEFL for adults. Can be. Addictive applications may include applications such as games, and may include cartoon content, social media, and web surfing.

In this step, it is possible to distinguish between an addictive application and a profitable application by referring to a database that manages a list of applications included in the addictive application and the beneficial application. In addition, the addictive application list and the beneficial application list recorded in the database may be set and managed differently for each user. For example, the addictive application list and the beneficial application list are different according to the age, gender, occupation, etc. of the user, and among the addictive applications, the degree of addictiveness may be different from each other according to the age group. Therefore, depending on whether the user is an infant, a child, an elementary school student, a junior high school student, a high school student, a college student, or an adult, and moreover, the list may be set differently according to gender, and the size of addictiveness and benefit may be set differently.

In step S02, when the beneficial application is executed, the play time of the beneficial application is monitored. This is to allow the addictive application to play for a predetermined time as a reward according to the use time of the beneficial application.

In step S03, with reference to the play time of the beneficial application, the right to execute the addictive application is granted and the playable time of the addictive application is given as a reward.

In operation S04, when the addictive application is played for as long as the playable time of the addictive application, the control of the addictive application is stopped.

For example, suppose you have a reward for running a 30-minute addiction application for 2 hours of beneficial applications. In this case, after 30 minutes of play against the addiction application, the user is automatically blocked from running even if they want to play more of the addiction application, and if they want to play the addiction application again, they must use the beneficial application again. The addiction application may be executed again for a predetermined reward time. That is, a reward may be given for the available time of the addictive application with reference to the play time of the beneficial application. Of course, the compensation for the available time of the addictive application may be changed by the setting of the user or the guardian (parent) of the user, and is automatically set in various ways according to the time environment such as the trial period, vacation, weekday, and weekend. You can do this, or change it according to the popularity ranking of addictive applications. This is described in more detail later.

On the other hand, according to another embodiment of the present invention, in step S03, if an input to stop the execution of the beneficial application is detected, the test questions are recorded and matched to the played section of the beneficial application is provided, Only when the set ratio is correct, the play time of the beneficial application may be referred to to grant the execution right of the addictive application and the playable time of the addictive application. This may serve as a measure to prevent the mass production of users who have not listened hard and have only run the beneficial application in order to use the addictive application.

Meanwhile, according to another embodiment of the present invention, in step S03, the addictive application may be set to be available only when the play time of the beneficial application is greater than or equal to a preset minimum time. For example, when the play time of the benefit application is greater than or equal to a preset minimum time, the play time of the addictive application may be given with reference to the play time of the benefit application.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, in granting the playable time of the addictive application as a reward, the reward ratio set by the user's administrator (for example, the parent of the user) (playable of the addictive application to the play time of the beneficial application) Ratio of time). In this case, in providing the playable time of the addictive application as a reward, the reward time may be determined with reference to information about the age of the user and the use rank of the addictive application. For example, as the age or age group of the user increases, the ratio of the play time of the addictive application to the playtime of the beneficial application decreases, and the higher the use rank or the rank of the addictive application, the playable time of the addictive application compared to the play time of the beneficial application. The ratio of can be lowered. Here, the usage ranking is the popularity ranking of the addictive application determined based on the time when the addictive application was played by a plurality of users during the preset statistics collection time. And the predetermined statistics collection time can be made within a predetermined time from the current time to determine the compensation time of the addictive application. On the other hand, the rankings are similar to the usage rankings. If the ranking is one by one according to the frequency of use of the addictive application, the rankings are 1 to 3, 4 to 6, 7 to 9, 10 to 12. … Are the first, second and third ranks, respectively. … Or 1 to 5, 5 to 10... … … First rank, second rank… … By combining a certain number of ranks into one rank, the compensation time rate can be applied equally to the same rank application.

According to the statistics of the Korea Concentration Center, although it varies from person to person, the average age is 2 minutes for 2 years old, 10 minutes for 4 years old, and 12 minutes for 5-6 year olds. Especially in elementary school, the concentration time varies greatly depending on what you do. If you like what you can do for an hour, otherwise it can show concentration that even a 2 year old child can't. By using statistics on the applications played, the user understands what they like, what they are good at, and what they are interested in. 1) The percentage of reward time according to the intensive time scale by age group and 2) The percentage of reward time according to the ranking of addictive application usage. By setting the compensation time ratio using the condition of, it is possible to provide an optimally determined solution for the user, thus increasing the concentration and self-adjusting ability.

An example of setting the compensation time based on 1) the compensation time ratio according to the intensive time scale by age group and 2) the compensation time ratio by the addictive application usage ranking is shown in FIG. 2.

Referring to FIG. 2, when the concentration time scale is set to 1 = 10 minutes or less, 2 = 11 to 20 minutes, 3 = 21 to 30 minutes, 4 = 31 to 40 minutes, and 5 = 41 minutes or more, the infant is 1 It is set to have an intensive time scale of 2 for elementary school students, 3 for middle school students, 4 for high school students, and 5 for university students. The compensation time rate is set to 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20%, respectively. If there are 10 addictive applications and the ranking is ranked from 1st to 10th according to addictive (e.g. popularity, usage rank, etc.), the reward time ratio is 10% for 1st, 20% for 2nd, 3rd place 30%, 4th place 40%, 5th place 50%, 6th place 60%, 7th place 70%, 8th place 80%, 9th place 90%, 10th place 100% Set it. Accordingly, the reward time to play an addictive application with the third highest addictive rank (or usage rank) when the elementary student plays a profitable application for 60 minutes is 60 minutes (benefit application play time) × 80% (concentration of elementary school students) The proportion of reward time according to the time scale) x 30% (the proportion of reward time for addictive applications with the third highest usage rank) = 14.4 minutes. In other words, when an elementary school student runs a profitable application for 60 minutes, the reward time for playing an addictive application having the third highest use rank is 14.4 minutes. In another example, if a junior high school student wants to use an addictive application with a ranking of 4th place (or addictive), if he plays the benefit application for 120 minutes, the reward time is 120 minutes (benefit application play). Time) × 60% (compensation time percentage according to the intensive time scale of middle school students) × 40% (compensation time percentage for addictive applications with a ranking of 4th place) = 28.8 minutes.

If the addictive applications are classified by ranking, for example, a variation of 1st to 5th positions with a 30% reward time ratio, 6th to 10th positions with a 80% reward time ratio will be considered. Could be

2 shows an example of automatically calculating the compensation time of the addictive application according to the compensation rate set by the user or the administrator, but the compensation time of the addictive application may be arbitrarily set by the user or the parent (parent). .

Table 1

number	Advantageous Application Play Time	Set play reward time for addictive applications
number	Advantageous Application Play Time	1st place (AA)	2nd (BB)	3rd place (CC)	4th (DD)	5th (EE)
One	60	5
2	25				8
3	180		29
4	300			48		40

Table 1 shows an example in which the user or guardian arbitrarily set the reward time after playing the beneficial application when the user is an elementary school student.

In Table 1, the first time sets the right to play the profitable application for 60 minutes to play the addictive (use rank) first application (AA) for 5 minutes, and the second time the 25 minutes to play the beneficial application for the addictive application (DD ), You can play 8 minutes), 3 times to play a profitable application 180 minutes to set the right to play the second addictive application (BB) 29 minutes, 4 times to play a profitable application 300 minutes For example, the third addictive application (CC) is divided into 48 minutes (benefit: 200 minutes) and the fifth addictive application (EE) is divided into 40 minutes (benefit: 100 minutes).

Referring to FIG. 2 or Table 1, the point accumulator may be used to give a reward time according to the total play time of the beneficial application. That is, each time the beneficial application is played, points may be accumulated in proportion to the playing time, and a reward time for playing the addictive application may be used using the accumulated points. That is, in this case, if there are a plurality of applications corresponding to the beneficial application, the points according to the use of the plurality of beneficial applications may be added up together, and if there are a plurality of addictive applications, the points according to the use of the plurality of addictive applications may be accumulated. The deduction may be subtracted by adding up each other.

If the play reward time of an addictive application is used up (or if all points that can use the addictive application are consumed), the addictive applications except the beneficial application will be blocked from running.

In addition, in FIG. 2 and Table 1, the addictive applications (ie, usage ranks) change according to the play pattern or play time of the user, and the compensation time is set again with the changed rate of compensation. In this case, the user will play a lot of profitable applications frequently and frequently to play the addictive application that they want to play, and the No. 1 game (the addictive application) that the user wants to play most will make the profitable application harder because of the smallest reward rate. Highly addictive games have the effect of making them even smaller. In this case, the addictive ranking may obtain statistics for a plurality of users, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and statistics may be obtained only for the corresponding users. In addition, if the statistics are obtained for a plurality of users, statistics may be obtained for an unspecified number of users, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is not necessarily limited thereto. Statistics may be obtained for a plurality of users (at least in part).

In addition, the application execution control method according to the present invention may further include steps S05 and S06 of FIG. 1, in step S05, a function of analyzing and reporting a usage pattern of an application of a user is provided. That is, it provides statistics about play time for each beneficial application played by the user, play time for each addictive application, whether the beneficial application or the addictive application is continuously executed, and ranking information for each application. This step allows you to see your own statistics about the applications you have played, such as playtime for each beneficial or addictive application, or whether they are running continuously, and to determine usage time or ranking statistics for each application. You can also check the parent of the registered user.

Step S06 provides a function of sharing the beneficial application and the recommended application with a friend. That is, whenever a certain period of time or when the goal for a profitable application is completed, reporting information about the benefit application to friends is shared so that the information about the benefit application can be shared with friends so that an appropriate sense of achievement can be experienced.
