1 is a configuration diagram of a communication system to which a method for providing a social network game according to the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 1, a communication system to which a method for providing a social network game according to the present invention is applied is provided by an operator providing a social network game (hereinafter, simply referred to as a 'social network game') provided by the present invention. To manage the game server 10, the user terminal 20 used to participate in the social network game to operate the shopping building to access the game server, to access the game server to view the shopping building produced by the user The viewer terminal 30 used by the viewer to access the game server, the seller server 40 operated by the seller who wants to provide the product image information and the product promotion information necessary for the operation of the shopping building, and the social network game It includes an advertiser server 50 operated by the advertiser.

The game server 10 is managed by an operator who provides a social network game. The game server 10 registers membership information with a user who wants to operate a shopping building on a social network game, or browses a shopping building or purchases a product as a member. On the other hand, it performs a function of providing various information necessary for the user to operate the shopping building and various information necessary for the viewer to purchase the product in the shopping building. In addition, the game server manages the image information of the product (the actual image of the product or the product image designed for the game) and the promotional information of the product provided by a plurality of sellers who have a business agreement with the operator or provide the information from the seller server. It can also perform a function provided to the user. In addition, the game server may manage information on a plurality of advertisers that have a business agreement with an operator for advertising on a social network game, and perform a function of providing an advertisement provided from an advertiser server on a social network game. Such a game server may consist of servers that are currently generally used for network communication.

As described above, the user terminal 20 or the viewer terminal 30 is a terminal used by a user or a viewer who wants to participate in a social network game to access a game server, and may be a personal computer (PC) currently generally used. In addition, wired and wireless terminals, such as laptop computers, laptop computers, mobile phones, PDAs, smartphones, tablet PCs, and the like, which can access various game servers through wired and wireless communication, may be used. have.

Merchant server 40 provides a variety of information about the goods required on the social network game, while the server is managed by the seller who sells the goods if there is a purchase request for the goods on the social network game, Information, for example, image information, product promotional text, video information, etc. may be provided to the game server. Such a merchant server may consist of servers that are currently generally used for network communication.

The advertiser server 50 is a server managed by an advertiser who wants to promote his / her product separately from the sale of the product on the social network game, and the advertiser uses an outdoor billboard or an independent object of the shopping building created on the social network game. Can advertise, and in this case, the advertiser server may perform a function of transmitting the advertisement information to the game server. Such an advertiser server may be comprised of servers that are currently generally used for network communication.

Meanwhile, the seller server or the game server may provide an image conversion tool capable of converting a real image of a product provided by the seller into an image designed for a game. In other words, the merchandise that the seller intends to sell refers to the actual merchandise, which allows the seller to manage the actual image of the merchandise on the seller server or the game server, and the user displays the merchandise on the shopping building using the real image of the merchandise. It has a purpose to be.

However, the present invention is to enable the user to display a variety of goods in the form of a game, in the virtual space of the city and the shopping building, as shown in Figure 4 referenced in the following description. Therefore, the present invention does not allow the actual image of the product to be displayed inside the shopping building as it is, but by allowing the seller or the user to variously convert the actual image of the product into a desired form by using an image conversion tool, Even a product has a feature that it can be displayed in various forms according to each user.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for providing a social network game according to the present invention. 3 is an exemplary view of a main screen output by the method for providing a social network game according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an exemplary view of the inside of a shopping building output by the method for providing a social network game according to the present invention.

First, the operator who wants to operate the social network game providing method according to the present invention recruits a seller who wants to sell a product through a game server and an advertiser who wants to advertise their products (202). In this case, the seller may sell the product information on the product to be sold, for example, various image information of the actual product (the actual image of the product or a product image designed for the game by an image conversion tool), various promotional information about the product, The price information of the goods may be transmitted to the game server through the seller server, and the game server may perform a function of managing the goods information. In addition, the advertiser may transmit advertisement information about a product to be advertised, for example, an advertisement image, an advertisement voice, an advertisement phrase, etc. to the game server through the advertiser server, and the game server may perform a function of managing advertisement information. Can be.

Next, an operator who wants to operate a social network game providing method according to the present invention manages a shopping building through a social network game, and displays a variety of products in the shopping building to satisfy a user's desire to purchase. Recruitment and management as a member (204). Here, the user may be a simple user who wants to introduce his / her taste to the viewers and inform his / her style by displaying a shopping building according to his / her taste in the space of a social network game. By selling a product through a building, the user may wish to receive a portion of the sales revenue from the seller. That is, the method for providing a social network game according to the present invention is a method in which the seller pays a part of the product sales to the user in exchange for displaying and selling the seller's products through his shopping building.

Therefore, after a user joins the game server as a member, the user can display various products according to his or her taste in the shopping building assigned to the user. In this case, the game server may distribute the shopping building to each user through various methods (206).

The first method is to consider a social network game as a city, to divide the entire city into a number of zones, and then display the unique goods for each zone. For example, FIG. 3 is a screen output when a user or a viewer logs in to a social network game or selects to view an entire city. The first method is to view the entire city generated by the social network game. After dividing into several zones, the first zone is assigned to the furniture store area, the second zone is assigned to the clothing store area, the third zone is assigned to the electronics store area, and the fourth zone is the toy store. In the state divided by the region, the user selects the desired mall area, and then any one of the shopping buildings in the mall area is distributed to the user. FIG. 3 is a screen output when the entire city view is selected as described above. In the case where the second zone 99 is selected in the zone reading window 90, the clothing store area corresponding to the second zone is shown in detail. will be. That is, when the user who wants to receive the shopping building selects the clothing store area corresponding to the second zone, the game server distributes any one of the shopping buildings in the clothing store area to the user. Thereafter, when the user accesses the game server in the state of receiving the shopping building in the clothing store area, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the clothing store area corresponding to the second zone may be output as the main screen. In this case, when a user who wants to move to another zone selects a desired zone in the zone reading window 90, the user may view the selected zone through a screen as shown in FIG. 3. As another method, when the user selects the zone movement button 98 shown in FIG. 3, another adjacent zone may be output through the screen as shown in FIG. 3. That is, one zone 99 as shown in FIG. 3 exists as a space independent of the other zones. Therefore, a user or a viewer who wants to move to another zone may select another zone in the zone view window 90, move to another zone by using a zone move button, or a separate menu window. In particular, when the number of zones increases, it is difficult to provide a form such as a zone reading window 90. In this case, the user moves to a desired zone through a separate menu window or randomly through a zone moving button 98. You can also move to another area. In this case, the user or the registrant may move to an area in which the shopping building of the user registered as a friend exists or move inside the shopping building of the user registered as a friend through a user search registered as a friend.

The second method, based on the first method, is to sell shopping buildings in the shopping district to the user. For example, as a user or a viewer visits a real mall area offline, the user or viewer can visit the mall area while walking on a map as shown in FIG. 3, which can be easily exposed to the eyes of the user or the reader. Shopping buildings located in the area may be visited more frequently by users or viewers. Therefore, the operator of the game server may sell the shopping building upon receiving the sale request from the user in the state of differentiating the sale price for each shopping building. That is, in the first method, the user does not have to pay a separate fee for the sale of the shopping building, but in the second method, the sale fee added to the shopping building for each user to receive the shopping building desired by the user. This fee may be paid through various payment methods. Therefore, a user who is willing to pay the prepayment fee can pay the presale fee for the shopping building A 91 that is most visible to the user or the viewer as shown in FIG. 3. At this time, since the shopping building B 92 is located behind the shopping building A, the shopping building B 92 may be sold at a lower price than the shopping building A. However, in the second method, the sale price is not set for all shopping buildings. That is, in the case of the shopping building C 93 and the surrounding shopping buildings located in the alley which is separated from the street side or have to move for a long time along the street in FIG. As can be seen, it can be sold without paying a separate sale fee.

The third method is a variation of the second method. In the case of a shopping building such as shopping building A (91) desired by a large number of users, after receiving a sale request for a certain period of time, a lot of users who have applied for sale are in a lottery form. It's a way to sell. At this time, the user who received the sale by the lottery can finally receive the sale of the shopping building by paying the pre-sale fee.

The fourth method is to think of a social network game as a city, and sell each building through the second method or the third method without dividing the entire city into a plurality of zones. In other words, the second method and the third method are to sell the first method to each shopping district where the first method is divided, but the fourth method is to view the entire city as one shopping district and sell each shopping building.

A user who has been sold a shopping building through various methods as described above may decorate the inside and the outside of the sold shopping building through various methods (208).

First, as a method of decorating the exterior of a shopping building, the user may attach a building signboard engraved with his or her name or logo, as shown in shopping building A 91 of FIG. 3. Here, the building signboard may be a protrusion 81 protruding outward from the wall of the building, as shown in the shopping building A, or may be an attachment 82 attached to the entrance wall of the shopping building. It may be a support type 83 supported on the ground at the entrance of the shopping building. On the other hand, the present invention may allow the user to directly select the type of building sign as described above, it may be specified to install only one.

In addition, the user may attach the floor information signboard 85 having various phrases engraved on the wall of each floor as one of methods for promoting a product being displayed or sold in the shopping building. That is, a user who has received a shopping building in a clothing store area can display women's clothing on the first floor of the shopping building, baby clothing on the second floor, and men's clothing on the third floor. In order to notify the viewer who is viewing the screen as shown, it can be attached in the form of a signboard on the wall between each floor. On the other hand, even in the clothing store area, the user is not necessarily limited to selling only clothes, so the user can display women's clothing on the first floor, men's clothing on the second floor, and women's accessories on the third floor. The product information does not necessarily have to be related to the product required by the mall area. However, in a shopping district where only a certain product is displayed, the operator may display only the corresponding product, or may display other products in addition to the corresponding product, but more than two-thirds of a shopping building, for example, For example, a five-story building may be restricted to display only the goods on at least three floors.

In addition, the user may attach various promotional texts on the products displayed or sold in the shopping building to the wall surface of the shopping building by displaying the floor information signage 85.

Next, the user can variously decorate the interior of the pre-stored shopping building in the form desired by the user. That is, the user can display various products for each floor as described above. In this case, as described above, various product information including a product image displayed in the shopping building may be provided from a seller server or from a game server managing product information provided from a seller server. For example, a user who wants to display clothing may access a product information page provided by a seller server or a game server, and may copy product information, for example, a product image, to display on his or her shopping building. Thereafter, the user may display the product 70 on his or her display rack by pasting the copied product image to a position to be displayed on the inside screen of the shopping building. In FIG. 4 the display stand may be the wall itself. In addition to the copying method, a product search page on the product information can be displayed by selecting the desired product image. In addition, the user can display the product information provided by the seller in his or her shopping building through various methods. At this time, even if the same product can stimulate the curiosity of the viewer in accordance with the display method, the user can decorate the inside of the shopping building to be differentiated from the products displayed on the other shopping buildings. On the other hand, to decorate the interior of the shopping building as described above may require a variety of accessories in addition to the product itself. For example, a hanger for hanging clothes may be required, a picture or a mirror 61 may be displayed to harmonize with a display stand, a vase 62 for storing flowers may be required. Tables 63 and furniture, such as chair 64, to provide a seating area may also be required, and various types of accessories may also be required. Hangers, pictures, photographs, vases, chairs, and tables as described above may be referred to as additional products separately from the main product 70 that the user wants to display and sell. On the other hand, the user can also display the additional products as described above, inside the shopping building in the same manner as the display of the main product. That is, the additional products as described above are also products that can be sold, and can be displayed by receiving product information on the additional products from the seller server selling the additional products.

On the other hand, in the present invention as described above, the user is to be able to display the shopping building exterior and the inside of the shopping building by the sale of the shopping building in a specific area of the city, the user is assigned a specific area 99, You can also build your own shopping buildings and restaurants, and sell and advertise them.

For example, a screen as shown in FIG. 3 shows an area 99 of any city in which shopping buildings that are distributed to a plurality of users are constructed, but the present invention shows an area as shown in FIG. All of them can be sold to one user. In this case, the user may directly create a building in the area where he or she wants for the purpose.

On the other hand, the user may individually decorate a building that he or she already created or for an existing purpose for a separate purpose, for example, a shopping building, a restaurant, a game room, or a karaoke room.

That is, the user may be provided with one entire area 99 as shown in FIG. 3 as his or her own space to construct various buildings according to his or her own taste. In this case, the user may decorate the constructed building as a shopping building as described above, or decorate it as a food store and order the foods desired by the readers through the seller, or decorate the restaurant and provide their own recipes or the like. They may order the foods they want, such as pizza or chicken, and provide them through the seller.

Meanwhile, one zone 99 shown in FIG. 3 exists independently in the entire city, and the game server provides a space as shown in FIG. 3 to a user who wants the zone. Therefore, if the number of users who participate in the game by pre-ordering the area increases, the type of the zone may be innumerable, so that it is managed by another user through the same method as the zone view window 90. It can be difficult to get to the area where you are.

Accordingly, the game server may provide a method of moving to a zone managed by another user by searching for each user's ID, in addition to the zone moving method using the zone viewing window 90, and using the zone moving button 98. You can also randomly move to another zone. For example, if a user A or a user browses an area 99 as shown in FIG. 3 and selects an area move button 98, the game server randomly extracts another area. In addition, a screen as shown in FIG. 3 may be output. Thus, the user or the viewer can move the area managed by various users. As another method, if there is another user registered by the user or the viewer as a friend, the user may move to the area managed by the friend through the friend search menu.

On the other hand, the zone movement method as described above, may be applied to the same inside the shopping building as shown in FIG. That is, a user or a viewer who is viewing the inside of the shopping building may randomly move to the inside of the shopping building managed by another user through the move button, and select a registered friend into the shopping building managed by the friend. You can also move.

As described above, the present invention allows the user or the viewer to move freely within the area as shown in FIG. 3 or the shopping building as shown in FIG.

Meanwhile, the advertiser may display various advertisements on the screen as shown in FIG. 3 or the screen as shown in FIG. 4. Here, the advertiser may be a seller, but may also be a person who wants to advertise their products or companies regardless of the seller. In other words, a company that sells clothing may be a seller by providing clothing as a product through a social network game providing method, or may be an advertiser for the purpose of advertising the company separately from each product. . In addition, 'K Bank' is not a seller because it does not provide a separate product through the social network game providing method according to the present invention, but may be an advertiser for the purpose of advertising 'K Bank' which is its own company. The method of advertising by the advertiser may be variously applied as described below.

As a first method, an advertiser may advertise through a billboard composed of independent objects 86 such as an Ed balloon or an advertisement pillar or a banner on a screen as shown in FIG. 3. Such an advertisement for an independent object may be distributed to an advertiser by applying a method in which a user receives a shopping building of various prices. That is, the advertiser can advertise by receiving an independent object in a desired position or the like.

As a second method, an advertiser may advertise in conjunction with a shopping building. For example, in the screen as shown in FIG. 3, the advertiser may advertise the outdoor billboard (87) on the roof of the shopping building by the method of sale through the first method, and showcase the inside of the shopping building. The advertisement board 88 may be hung on the advertising board. On the other hand, in the case of an advertiser who participates in the social network game providing method according to the present invention as a seller, information about a shopping building that mainly displays its products or a shopping building where its products are sold well is obtained from the game server. To advertise products. In addition, the advertiser may obtain information about a shopping building with a large number of viewers from a game server and advertise.

Through the above-described process, a user who displays a product in a shopping building and the advertiser accesses the game server through the viewer terminal while the advertiser posts various advertisements, the city screen as shown in FIG. Alternatively, the outside of the shopping building or the inside of the shopping building may be viewed through the inside screen of the shopping building as shown in FIG. 4 (210).

For example, when the user logs in to the game server, the game server may provide a screen for displaying the inside of the user's shopping building as the main screen, as shown in FIG. 4. In addition, when the viewer logs in to the game server, as shown in FIG. 3, the game server may provide a screen showing the state of the entire city provided by the social network game providing method according to the present invention as a main screen. . In addition, when the viewer registers a shopping building that he or she mainly visits, the game server may provide a screen as shown in FIG. 4 showing the inside of the registered shopping building as a main screen.

Therefore, the viewer who accesses the screen showing the entire city as shown in FIG. 3 uses a moving method such as enlarging, reducing or dragging the city distance by operating an input unit (mouse or keyboard) of the viewer terminal. The building signs (81, 82, 83), floor information sign (85) and billboards (86, 87, 88), etc. of various shopping buildings can be encountered, and the shopping building that you think will sell the desired products or want to visit If you find a shopping building, you can enter inside by selecting the shopping building.

In this case, a method of viewing a city as shown in FIG. 3 may be provided through a method similar to that of currently reading a map provided through a location tracking device. That is, a location tracking device such as a portable terminal (mobile phone, etc.) providing a navigation or location providing service mounted on a car changes a road or sidewalk image on a map according to the location of a viewer, and then moves around the road or sidewalk building. As the degree or address information is provided, the present invention can also provide various map information to the viewer in the same form as the navigation. However, in the present invention, there is a difference in that the user moves the viewpoint by directly moving the keyboard or the mouse.

On the other hand, while the user is looking at the street of the city through the above method, the user can obtain information about the products displayed in the shopping building through various signs attached to the outside of the shopping building, installed on the roof of the shopping building You can encounter various advertisements provided through outdoor billboards or independent objects. At this time, when the viewer selects (clicks) an advertisement, more detailed advertisement information may be provided in the form of a pop-up window.

In addition, as described above, when the viewer finds a shopping building that is expected to sell a desired product or a shopping building to be visited, the viewer enters the shopping building through the entrance of the shopping building, as shown in FIG. 4. You can also browse the inside of the shopping building through the screen. Since the inside of the shopping building may also include a plurality of display racks and a plurality of passages, the viewer may view the inside of the shopping building by using the same method of viewing the city as shown in FIG. 3.

On the other hand, a viewer viewing the inside of a shopping building may select (click) a displayed product (a product image designed for a game), and when a product is selected, the game server may select detailed product information matching the selected product, For example, information about a product photograph photographed from various angles, a photo showing a state of use of the product, and a review of the product may be provided.

Here, as described above, the product may include not only the main product 70 to be mainly displayed by the user, but also additional products 61 to 64 additionally displayed to make the main product stand out. That is, all objects displayed in the shopping building may be regarded as a product, and the user may view information on the additional product as well as the main product.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the billboard 88 provided by the advertiser may also be displayed in the shopping building, and detailed information about the advertisement may be provided when the viewer selects (clicks) the billboard. have.

Meanwhile, as described above, the game server may provide various events in response to a request of an advertiser, a seller, or a user while the viewer views the shopping building.

For example, an advertiser, seller, or user may monitor the number of viewers viewing a shopping building through a game server, and then, based on the number of viewers, provide live events such as discount sales, free sales, and coupons. Can be. Receiving such a request, the game server outputs a promotional phrase for the progress of an event on a building sign of a shopping building on a screen as shown in FIG. 3, or a pop-up window on a screen inside a shopping building as shown in FIG. 4. You can also output the contents of the event through. Therefore, the viewer may receive various discounts or free gifts as the event progresses.

Meanwhile, as described above, the user who browses the shopping building may directly purchase a desired product (212). That is, when a viewer finds a desired product regardless of a main product or an additional product, the viewer may request a product purchase through a pop-up menu that appears when the corresponding product is selected. The game server, which has been requested to purchase a product, may sell the product through a method currently performed for selling the product in a general shopping mall. In this case, the present invention is characterized in that the information on the shopping building received the purchase request is matched with the product purchase information and stored, and then a portion of the product sales amount is allocated to the user who manages the shopping building.

That is, when the viewer purchases a product, the user who manages the shopping building visited by the viewer for the product purchase sells the product on behalf of the seller. When the product is sold, the game server sells the product information and the corresponding product. By matching and managing information about the seller of the product and the user of the shopping building displaying the corresponding product, it is possible to smoothly distribute the selling amount between the seller, the operator of the game server, and the user of the shopping building. In this case, the dividend of the selling amount may be paid in cash, or may be paid in cyber money.

On the other hand, the operator, seller, and user may grant cyber money to the readers who left the product reviews. As a result, the viewer who purchased the product may have a desire to visit the shopping building again.

Meanwhile, the viewer and the user may not simply display and purchase a product through the social network game providing method according to the present invention, but may leave a visit log as in a general community site, or may have a conversation through a message (214). . That is, since the address or name of each shopping building is associated with the user's ID, a message, a conversation, or an e-mail can be sent between a user or viewers who know the shopping address or name of the shopping building or know the ID of the user or the viewer. You can also form a community in a variety of ways, such as sending a text, leaving a post, and so on. In addition, the viewer may view information such as a visit log or a review of the shopping building selected by the user through a menu that is activated when a shopping building is selected.
