Hereinafter, a method and a server for combining items according to the number of users 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.

Referring to FIG. 1, the server performs an operation S10 of receiving an item combination input as an input for using an item combination service.

As described above, the receiving of the item combining input includes receiving an input for registering at least one item on an interface for using the item combining service from the user terminal and an item combining input for combining the items after registering the item. Means.

To this end, the interface for using the item combination service may include a slot for registering an item and a combination menu as a menu for inputting an item combination.

Step S10 means receiving a user input on an interface for using an item combination service.

When the step S10 is received, the server performs a step (S20) for extracting the grade information of each of the items registered for the combination, for the item combination.

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 rating may not be confirmed.

The server may extract the rating information of each item by analyzing the items registered at the reception of the step S10, thereby determining the rating of the item to be won as a combination result to be described later.

After the step S20, the server performs a step (S30) of analyzing the number of users connected to the game at the time of receiving the step S10.

In the present invention, the combination result is influenced by the number of users currently connected to the game, that is, the number of concurrent users currently. Accordingly, the server analyzes the number of users during the combination process.

When step S30 is performed, the server performs step S40 of selecting one of the items that can be won by the item combination service according to the extracted rating information and the number of analyzed users.

Items that can be won by the item combination service may vary depending on the game providing the combination service. For example, when combining weapon items, only weapon items may be set to win, and when combining weapon items, any item may be set to win. The winning item may be different according to the setting information set in the combination service providing server in the game.

When any one item is selected by the step S40, the server deletes the item registered for the combination from the item database held by the user (S50), and registering the selected item in the item database held by the user (S60). Will perform.

Hereinafter, a specific example of the step S40 will be described.

Referring to FIG. 2, after performing the step S30 of analyzing the number of users who are connected to the game, the server classifies the number of analyzed users into one of a plurality of sections.

That is, the server sets a section of at least one user number to which the number of concurrently connected users can belong, and selects a section to which the number of analyzed users belongs (S41).

Thereafter, the server selects a probability table corresponding to the extracted rating information and the selected section from among at least one probability table for the rating of the item, which is a table storing the probability of determining the rating of the item paid as a combination (S42). Will be performed.

As mentioned above in the present invention, rating information is set in the item, and the rating of the item to be won is first determined when the items are combined, and then a randomized item among the items corresponding to the determined rating is selected as the winning item and is provided to the user. Can be paid.

At this time, in determining the grade of the item, there may be a probability table in which each grade can be won. The server loads the probability table to determine the grade of the item to be won based on the probability.

In this case, the probability table may be loaded with different probability tables according to the rating information of registered items. In particular, in the embodiment of FIG. 2, another probability table may be loaded according to the number of analyzed users. To this end, each of the plurality of probability tables may include tag information about the extracted rating information and the number of analyzed users.

When the step S42 is performed, the server selects one class using the selected probability table (S43), selects items belonging to the selected class among the available items, and randomizes one item among the items of the selected class. Selecting step S44 is performed.

Accordingly, the grade of the item to be won may be determined at different probability according to the number of users, thereby achieving the object of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, in another embodiment of the present invention, the server first performs step S30 of analyzing the number of concurrently connected users, and then calculates an average rating of registered items (S45).

In the present invention, the registered items may have different grades. Accordingly, in order to match the probability table, the server calculates an average value of the grade information of the registered items.

When the step S45 is performed, in selecting the probability table, the server performs a step S46 of selecting a probability table corresponding to the average rating of the registered item and the number of analyzed users. In operation S46, the server may select only a probability table corresponding to the average grade. Also, as mentioned in the description of FIG. 2, the probability table may be selected using the section selected as belonging to the number of users together with the average rating of the item.

When step S46 is performed, as in steps S43 and S44 of FIG. 2, determining a grade of the item to be won using the selected probability table (S47), and randomly selecting one item among items belonging to the determined grade Perform (S48).

4 is another method for selecting items from the embodiments of FIGS. 2 and 3, in which the server analyzes the number of users (S30) and calculates an average rating of registered items (S45).

Thereafter, the server performs a step (S461) of selecting a probability table using the average rating of the registered items. In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the probability table is selected using only the rating information of the item.

Thereafter, the server performs the step S462 of correcting the winning probability for each grade stored in the probability table by a predetermined value according to the analyzed number of users.

That is, in FIGS. 2 and 3, a method of selecting a different probability table according to the number of analyzed users or a section to which the number of users belongs is performed. Accordingly, the probability table includes a tag for a section to which the number of analyzed users or the number of users belong. Information may be included.

However, in FIG. 4, only the rating information of the item may be set in the tag information. Information about the number of users or the selected intervals is then used to correct the probabilities in the probability table.

Thereafter, the server performs the step S463 of determining the grade of the item to be won using the corrected probability table.

5 shows a filtering scheme in selecting an item. Referring to FIG. 5, after analyzing the number of users (S30), the server performs a step (S31) of analyzing whether the number of analyzed users is less than the threshold number of users before selecting an item.

Subsequently, when it is determined that the number of analyzed users is less than the threshold number of users, the server performs an operation (S32) of excluding at least one preset item from among the items that can be won from the items that can be won (S32). Will be performed.

In this case, the at least one preset item may be an item in which an effect of using the item is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference effect, and these items may be limited to a predetermined number of winnings for a predetermined period (for example, one day). Can be.

That is, when the number of users who are simultaneously connected at the time of combination is small, by excluding expensive good items from the winning items, the server can maximize the recognition effect on the good items for the users. A lot of people are connected to provide a high probability of winning an item.

In addition, by limiting the number of winnings, it is possible to ensure the rareness of a good item, to stimulate the desire to use the item combination service.

Referring to FIG. 6, after S40 of selecting an item, the server first determines that the selected item, that is, the item to be paid to the user is determined to be one of the above-mentioned preset items. In operation S70, a control operation is performed such that information indicating that the user has obtained the selected item is output on the game access screen displayed on the terminals of all users who are connected to the game.

Through this, it is possible to give users the expectation that a good item can be obtained using the item combination service, thereby increasing the utilization rate of the item combination service.

7 is a block diagram of an item combination server according to the number of users according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, portions overlapping with the description of FIGS. 1 to 6 will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 7, the item combination server 10 may include a combination input receiving unit 11, a combination condition information extracting unit 12, a winning control unit 13, and an item dispensing unit 14.

The combination input receiving unit 11 performs a function of receiving an input for registering at least one item for an item combination service and an item combination input for using the item combination service.

In addition, the user terminal 20 may perform a function of transmitting an interface for the aforementioned item combination service for the item combination service.

The combination condition information extracting unit 12 extracts rating information of registered items from an item information storage space such as an item database 30 and combines them from a processor that manages users' access to a game, such as a game operation server 40. This function analyzes the number of users connected to the game at the time of receiving the input.

In this case, as mentioned above, the average value of the rating information of the extracted items may be calculated, and the function of selecting a section to which the analyzed users belong may be performed.

The winning control unit 13 has a function of selecting any item among the items that can be won using the section selected as the rating information of the extracted item, the number of users analyzed, the average rating of the rating information, and the number of analyzed users. To perform.

That is, the functions of the embodiments mentioned in FIGS. 2 to 5 will be performed. Accordingly, the winning control unit 13 stores the above-mentioned probability table having at least one of the section selected as belonging to the rating information of the extracted item, the number of analyzed users, the average rating of the rating information, and the number of analyzed users as tag information. It may be.

The winning controller 13 sets items that can be won according to FIGS. 2 to 5, and selects any one of at least one probability table to determine a grade of the item to be won. Then it performs a function of selecting any one of the items of the determined grade.

The item payer 14 registers the selected item in the user's own item database. In this case, as mentioned in FIG. 6, when the selected item belongs to at least one preset item, information indicating that the user has obtained the selected item is output on the game access screen displayed on the terminal of the users who are connected to the game. Can be controlled.

8 illustrates an example of the item combination interface screen 100. After the user registers the items in the item registration slot 101, the user may select the item combination menu 102 to consume the registered item and acquire a new item.

9 shows an example of the combination result screen 110. The user can check the information 111 of the item he / she obtained as a result of the combination.

10 illustrates an example of the game access screen 120. If the item acquired by the user is one of preset items, information indicating that the user has obtained the item is displayed in the notification display area 122 which is an area of the game information interface 121 of the game screen 120. It may be displayed as shown in FIG.

When the other users confirm this, a desire to use the item combination service may be stimulated, thereby increasing the use rate of the item combination service.

11 and 12 illustrate examples in which another probability table is set according to a section to which the number of analyzed users belongs when the average rating of a registered item is 4.

Referring to FIG. 11, user number information 201 and average rating information 202 of registered items are registered as tag information of the probability table 200. At this time, if you check the probability of winning information 203 of each grade, the probability of winning the item of the fourth grade, which is the grade corresponding to the average grade 4, is very high, the probability of winning the item of the highest grade, the highest grade, is 0.1%. You can see little.

In the probability table 210 of FIG. 12, as in FIG. 11, the user number information 211 and the average rating information 212 of the registered item are registered as tag information of the probability table 210, and the winning probability information for each rating is provided. Referring to 213, it is confirmed that the probability of winning a lower grade is set higher than that of FIG. 11, and the probability of winning a high grade is set lower.

This means that since the number of users included in the tag information of the probability table of FIG. 12 is smaller than that of FIG. 11, the probability of obtaining a good item is set low.

Referring to FIG. 13, the tag information of the probability table 220 may include only the average rating of the registered item.

In this case, it is confirmed that each probability value included in the probability table is corrected according to the number of simultaneous access users, that is, the number of users analyzed when the item combination input is received.

First, when the number of simultaneous access users is 100000 or more, the corrected probability table 221 may be checked to confirm that the corrected probability of winning a higher grade is higher than that of the probability table 220.

On the other hand, if the number of concurrently connected users is less than 100,000, check the corrected probability table 222, it can be confirmed that the correction is higher than the probability table 220 has a high probability of winning.

In particular, in the probability table 222, it can be seen that the probability of the highest grade, 10, is set to zero. This means an example of probability describing the embodiment of FIG. 5.
