FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram for explaining the land kicking game server 12 and the database 13. Referring to FIG.

The game server 12 is a computing device including a control unit 30, a memory 31, an input unit 32, a display unit 33, and a communication unit 34. It may include a management unit 35, a region management unit 36, a workshop management unit 37, a map management unit 38, and an advertisement management unit 39. In addition, the game server 12 may include a database 13 that stores subscriber information, map information, area information, war information, advertisement information, and the like used to provide a land kicking game service to users.

The communication unit 34 is a device for transmitting and receiving data with a plurality of user terminals 11 and is composed of a wired/wireless network. In the present invention, the type of network is not limited, and various wired and wireless communication methods such as Wi-Fi method, ZigBee method, Bluetooth method, 3G, 4G, LTE, LTE-A method, LAN, WAN, and equivalent methods may be applied. .

The control unit 30 provides the ground attack game application to the user terminal 11 and controls the operation of other components to interwork with the ground attack game application. The control unit 30 interlocks with the land hunting game application to receive land hunting game request information and current location information from the user terminal 11 to play the ground hunting game, and determines whether or not the region is occupied according to the result of playing the game. The electronic map information may be updated and game points may be given to the user terminal 11 at the same time.

The subscriber management unit 35 manages user information, such as identification information, profile information, and information about owned areas of users who access and play games through the user terminal 11 .

In addition, the subscriber management unit 35 dynamically manages each user's game points according to the progress of the land kicking game. Game points are generated for the area corresponding to the land owned by the user, and a predetermined game point for each area will be paid to the owner after a predetermined period of time. Basically, the land grabbing game of the present invention can be provided to users free of charge, and the user can play the game with game points that are automatically accumulated over time. Also, the user may pay a price and purchase additional game points.

Game points can be used to attack other users' lands. In addition, the user can move around by moving the location while playing the ground-up game on the user terminal 11. If the user's current location is an empty land without an owner, the user can occupy and own the area, and the user can In the case of visiting the land, predetermined game points are paid to the user as a reward for the visit. The subscriber management unit 35 may continuously track the current location of the user terminal 11 using GPS and may process occupancy, attack, or visit according to the location of the user.

The map management unit 38 creates a metaverse using a real map, and divides the world map into a plurality of areas to use as a unit of land grabbing. Segmentation of a region may be performed in a variety of ways. For example, the world map can be divided into cells at predetermined intervals, or divided into multiple areas based on actual administrative districts, and not only land but also sea can be divided into multiple areas to be subject to land hunting. .

The area management unit 36 performs overall management of areas such as owners, names, defense powers, and attributes of the areas divided by the map management unit 38 .

The workshop management unit 37 conducts a war between users in which a certain user occupies and occupies an area that does not have an owner, attacks to conquer and take away an area owned by another user, and defends to protect the area owned by another user. control to do

The workshop management unit 37 tracks the current location of the user through the GPS module 25 of the user terminal 11 and controls the land where the user is currently located to be occupied first according to the user's selection. According to one embodiment, a limit may be placed on the number of regions that a user may actually visit and occupy in a day. For example, one user can be controlled so that only up to 5 areas can be occupied per day.

The user can move the location on the metaverse that can be entered through the user terminal 11 and conquer other users' land without going directly. For example, the workshop management unit 37 may control a second user in Seoul to apply for a territory war against a territory in New York owned by the first user and fight a battle so that the second user occupies the corresponding land. there is. Unlike the limit on the number of occupied areas of Muju, there is no limit on the number of attacks to conquer other users' lands, and you can wage unlimited territory wars as long as your game points allow.

The advertisement management unit 39 manages advertisements to be posted in each area on the metaverse, advertisers, advertisement conditions, user compensation related to advertisements, and the like, and performs advertisements in the metaverse served through the user terminal 11 .

Hereinafter, a process in which the game server 12 and the user terminal 11 interwork to play a game of ground kick based on a user's location linked to a reality map will be described in more detail using FIGS. 4 to 11C.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of performing a ground-up game based on a user's location linked to a reality map according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 5 to 11C show user interface screens according to various embodiments of the present invention. it is foreshadowed

In step S41, a metaverse is created using an actual map. When the actual map is updated, the map on the metaverse is dynamically changed to reflect the updated content.

In step S42, the land of the map is divided according to a predetermined criterion, and the metaverse is divided into a plurality of regions. For example, the land on the earth can be pixelated in units of 100 cubic meters and divided into multiple areas, and users can control the land to be occupied or conquered in units of each area.

Referring to FIG. 5, a metaverse map created based on a real map is provided to the user, and user information 51 including the ID, level, game points, and landmarks of the accessed user is displayed at the bottom of the screen. has been In addition, who owns the land of the metaverse can be displayed for each area. In the case of the area 52 where the owner exists, information about the owner may be displayed, and in the case of the area 53 where there is no owner, it may be displayed as an empty space without information.

The level of the user may be determined based on the number of regions owned by the corresponding user. In the example of FIG. 5 , considering that the level of the user 'adfe128167' is 40, it can be seen that the corresponding user owns 40 areas. Also, the user's defense power may be determined in proportion to the user's level. In the case of the user 'adfe128167', since he has a lot of land and has a high level, his defense power is also high, so other users can recognize that it is not easy to attack the user.

The game points are points that can be used for attacks by the corresponding user, and the number of landmarks indicates the number of areas that have been promoted to landmarks among areas possessed by the user.

Users can set the name of the land they own. The name can be determined or changed later by capturing Korea's Dokdo and giving it the name 'Dokdo is our land'. The user can use this function as an event. For example, while proposing by displaying a message in the name of the area he or she owns, clicking the 'Share via Social Network Service (SNS)' button will link the information. can be sent to the desired partner.

6 is an example in which the screen of FIG. 5 is enlarged.

Referring to FIG. 6 , it can be seen that information on the area 52 owned by the user 'Halley1234' is displayed in more detail than in FIG. 5 . Detailed information about the area, such as the owner's level, user information 61 including the character, the name 63 of the area, and the landmark rating 62 of the area, may be displayed in the corresponding area.

The game server 12 determines the nationality by querying the information of users who own each area of the metaverse displayed on the user terminal 11, and determines the nationality of the user who predominantly owns the land of the metaverse, data can be displayed.

Referring to FIG. 7 , as shown in a circle 71 , the dominant user nationality of the land displayed on the game screen may be displayed in the form of infographics. In the example of FIG. 7, it can be seen that the Chinese own more than half of the metaverse displayed on the screen, and the area of land occupied by Koreans and Japanese in order decreases.

The user's nationality display screen can be enlarged or reduced according to the user's input, and more detailed nationality information can be provided according to accumulation. For example, when the screen is enlarged, it may provide detailed information such as what percentage of Japan's land is occupied by Koreans, or more than half of the country's land is occupied by Koreans.

In step S43, the location of the user terminal is tracked using GPS, and the owner-occupied area where the user is located is set as occupied by the user, and ownership is assigned. When a subscriber moves around in the real world holding a terminal, GPS is used to track the movement of the subscriber, and when it is determined that the subscriber has entered an unoccupied area, a user interface asking whether to occupy the area is displayed on the terminal, and the user confirms occupation. If selected, the corresponding area is preoccupied by the subscriber.

In one embodiment, when a new land is owned by directly visiting and occupying the land, the area is invincible for a predetermined period (eg, 24 hours) and controlled to not receive any attacks, so that the new owner occupies the newly occupied land. It provides time to check and manage territories and prevents sectoral territorial wars.

In one embodiment, the game server 12 tracks the GPS of each user terminal 11 to determine the area to which the user has actually moved, and occupies an unoccupied area for an area without an owner, and occupies an area with an owner. It can be controlled to allow attacks or visits. In addition, for the area where the owner is located, even if the user moves on the metaverse instead of actually moving around, it can be controlled so that a realm war to attack the area is possible.

That is, the user may occupy an unowned area or attack or visit an owned area while moving around in the real world while playing the land grabbing game. On the other hand, it is possible to attack an area found on the metaverse without going directly to the user if there is an owner, but it is not possible to occupy it if there is no owner of the area.

8 is an example of a screen for explaining area occupation in a ground-up game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 8 , if the user walks around while playing the land kicking game, the user's current location 81 will be displayed in real time. If the user is in an unoccupied area, the area can be controlled to be occupied according to the user's manipulation. In this way, the user can immediately occupy the empty area while moving around, and can obtain the effect of increasing the level and acquiring game points accordingly.

In one embodiment, the number of areas that can be occupied by the user for a predetermined period of time may be set in advance to limit the land that the user can occupy while moving around.

In one embodiment, the number of areas that can be occupied by the user for a predetermined period of time may be differentiated according to the user's level. Specifically, the number of occupable areas in which a general user can occupy an ownerless area for a certain period of time is set to a predetermined value, and when a general user becomes a member user through a fee payment, etc., the number of occupable areas can be increased according to the membership level. there is.

In step S44, a domain war is performed between subscribers. When the second user requests a war for the first domain of the first user, the domain war is conducted based on the game points suggested by the second user for the domain war and the defense power of the first domain.

When determining the defense power of a specific area, the defense power can be determined according to the owner level set by considering the number of areas owned by the owner of the area or the size of the property, and the game points presented for the attack by the second user who attempted the attack. The victory or defeat of the realm war can be determined according to the defense power of the first area that has been attacked and the first area that has been attacked.

Therefore, in order to effectively defend the land owned by the user, it is necessary to expand the land owned by continuously occupying empty lands or conquering other people's lands through attacks.

9 and 10 are examples of screens for explaining another person's area visit and attack in the ground-up game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the user selects a desired area 90 in the metaverse of the ground-breaking game, the game server 12 determines whether the area is already occupied by another user, and if it is another user's area, whether to attack for conquest or simply A user interface 92 asking whether to visit only is displayed. In addition, owner information 91 of the corresponding area may also be displayed on the screen to help the user in making a decision.

As in the example of FIG. 9 , when the user decides to wage a territory war for conquest of the domain 90 , it is necessary to input game points to be used for an attack (93). If the user selects to initiate an attack, the game server 12 will determine a win or loss by conducting a territory war and display the result (94).

In this way, in order to attack another user's domain, game points to be used for the attack must be input. At this time, game points higher than the level of the war opponent must be entered to win the war. The outcome of the war is randomly calculated by the game server 12 and immediately delivered to the user. The game server 12 may calculate the war result so that the defender is probabilistically advantageous rather than the attacker.

The game points used in the Territory War will expire regardless of the outcome of the Territory War, and if you succeed in defending in the Territory War, attacks on that area will be restricted for a certain period of time (e.g. 6 hours).

Attacks on areas owned by others can be done by the user directly on the land, but it is also possible to attack by clicking the desired location on the metaverse map. However, simultaneous attacking of areas that are already under attack by other users may be prohibited.

As shown in FIG. 10 , when a user selects to visit a corresponding area, predetermined game points are provided as a reward (101). If you go to the land owned by someone else and visit it without attacking, you can get game points. If you do not have enough game points to attack someone else's territory or there is no empty land nearby to occupy, you can acquire game points by actually visiting someone else's land. However, the number of game points charged by such a visit may be limited. For example, by limiting the charging of visits to 5 times a day, it is possible to prevent indiscriminate visits to land owned by others. Also, visiting the same land more than once in one day may also be prohibited.

In step S45, the ownership of the target area is changed according to the result of the realm war. If the second user who attacked the area wins the war, the ownership will pass to the second user, and if the second user loses the war, the ownership remains with the first user.

In step S46, each subscriber's game points are dynamically managed according to the passage of time, the result of the war, and the history of region visits.

The game server 12 periodically pays game points generated from each user's own area to the corresponding user over time, and deducts each user's game points according to the result of each area war and the history of area visits give.

The game point means the user's attack power, and may be implemented such that game points for each possession area are generated and automatically charged over time. In addition, predetermined game points may be provided when occupying an unowned territory and when visiting another person's land.

In one embodiment, the game server 12 may determine a landmark grade of the corresponding region based on the number of wars for each region, and increase the defense power of the corresponding region according to the landmark rank. In addition, the game point increase rate for the owner of the area can be adjusted according to the landmark grade.

Areas where territorial wars have occurred more than a predetermined number of times can be promoted from general areas to landmarks, and areas that have become landmarks can be displayed separately on the metaverse map. In addition, in a territory war for a land promoted as a landmark, the victory probability of a defender is set higher, and game points paid to the owner of the corresponding area can be controlled to increase. In other words, if you own a landmark, it is better to attack other users, the landmark is less likely to be stolen, and owners who own landmarks benefit from a faster accumulation of game points than owners who do not. can

In one embodiment, a landmark area may be managed in a plurality of grades, and landmark effects such as game point payment speed according to grades may be discriminated. For example, the grade of a landmark area is divided into three grades of 'Hot', 'Diamond', and 'Legend', and if more than 10 battles occur in the same area, it is promoted to 'Hot' grade, and more than 50 battles Areas where . In addition, in the war for the 'Diamond' grade area, the defender wins with an 80% probability, and the rate of game point payment per hour can be increased by 5 times compared to the general area. In addition, in the war for the 'Legend' grade area, the defender wins with a 90% probability, and the rate of game point payment per hour can be increased to 10 times the speed in the general area. Accordingly, if you own a landmark, you will have more game points, making it easier to attack and defend the land of other users.

FIG. 11A is an example in which the land 1101 with 'Tokyo Tower' is upgraded to a 'Hot' grade landmark, and FIG. 11B is an example in which the land 1102 near the 'Eiffel Tower' is upgraded to a 'Legend' grade. 11C shows an example in which land 1103 near 'Dokdo' is upgraded to 'Legend' grade.

The land grabbing game according to the present invention is basically provided free of charge, and various configurations can be added to generate profits.

For example, no matter how much free users move around, they cannot occupy lands indefinitely, and are limited to preoccupying only a certain number of areas (eg, 5) per day, but if they become paid users by paying a monthly fee or use certain items, You can increase the number of areas that can be secured (e.g., adjust to 20). In addition, game points are periodically paid over time, but the maximum game points that each user can have is limited to a predetermined value, but the game point retention limit or game point payment speed can be increased for paying users.

On the other hand, since the metaverse according to the present invention is created based on a map of reality, it is in the form of a game, but it can also be used as a map app while playing a game.

In addition, when a user clicks or visits a predetermined location on the metaverse map, an advertisement effect can be created by displaying information or a link of a specific company in area information. Companies that want to promote in the ground-breaking game according to the present invention can select a specific land and apply for rental, and if a certain fee is paid, advertisement information will be exposed to users who click or visit the area. .

If a certain area on the metaverse is used for advertising, a portion of the advertising revenue can be paid to the user who owns the area in the form of game points or separate advertising points, and when these points are accumulated, they can be controlled to be monetized. . If the owner of an area with an advertiser is changed, the compensation accumulated due to advertisements for that area will be transferred to the new owner.

In this way, when a user owns a land that is a landmark or an advertisement is attracted to the land owned by the user, the user can continuously obtain points and generate revenue during the ownership period.

In one embodiment, for a monthly subscription subscriber to the ground-up game according to the present invention, all advertisements are removed so that there is no need to view advertisements, or the limit on the number of occupancy for the inattentive area is increased (eg, 5 per day 1 -> increase to 20 per day), increase the maximum holding limit of game points (eg, maximum 1000 points -> increase to maximum 3000 points), or increase the speed of game point accumulation.

In one embodiment, item sales may be activated by providing benefits such as recovering game points to 100% or increasing the number of occupied unoccupied areas for a user possessing a predetermined item.

The method according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented in the form of program instructions that can be executed through various computer means and recorded in a computer readable medium. The computer readable medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, etc. alone or in combination. Program instructions recorded on the medium may be those specially designed and configured for the present invention or those known and usable to those skilled in computer software. Examples of computer-readable recording media include magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks and magnetic tapes, optical media such as CD-ROMs and DVDs, and magnetic media such as floptical disks. - includes hardware devices specially configured to store and execute program instructions, such as magneto-optical media, and ROM, RAM, flash memory, and the like. Examples of program instructions include high-level language codes that can be executed by a computer using an interpreter, as well as machine language codes such as those produced by a compiler.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art using the basic concept of the present invention defined in the following claims are also included in the scope of the present invention. fall within the scope of the right
