Description

Description NUMERAL MEMORY GAME METHOD

Technical Field

[1] The present invention relates to a numeral memory game method capable of memorizing telephone numbers or memorial days stored in a user's portable phone, implemented as a type of a game on the portable phone. Background Art

[2] Recently, as wireless communication industry has been developed, almost all of persons have owned one or more portable terminal such as a portable phone or PDA(Personal Digital Assistants). Under this circumstance, people store information such as addresses, telephone nembers, or memorial days, etc., on the portable terminal of a portable phone or PDA, and use it conveniently when being necessary, and thus no memorizing of telephone numbers or memorial days is necessary.

Advantageous Effects

[6] The effects obtained from the present invention is that when the game is enjoyed and completed, people can memorize on their heads the telephone numbers stored on address list of their portable terminal, telephone numbers useful for daily life, festival days and memorial days of acquaintances. Brief Description of the Drawings [7] The following drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the description serve to explain the principle of the invention. In the drawings:

[8] FIG. 1 is a data base for a game of the present invention;

[9] FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a game method of the present invention;

[10] FIG. 3 is a picture of showing an example of a telephone number on address lists to be displayed for solving;

[11] FIG. 4 is a picture of showing an example of a telephone number useful for daily life to be displayed for solving; and

[12] FIG. 5 is a picture of showing an example of a special day of relative to be displayed for solving. Mode for the Invention

[13] Hereinafter, a numeral memory game method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail, referring to the accompanying drawings.

[14] The present invention includes a question database ("DB") shown in FIG. 1 and a program allowing questions to be displayed and answers to be found.

[15] Referring to Fig.l, the question DB is classified as A, B, C, wherein A refers to the name and telephone numbers stored on the portable phone owned by himself/herself. Generally, people stores necessary telephone numbers on their portable terminal and draw information of the numbers from DB if necessary. Here, when playing the game, comparing to the numbers stored on the address list, additional numbers or changed number may be reflected to the address list.

[16] B refers to a list of the telephone numbers useful for daily life, such as emergency calls of 119(fire emergency call) or 112(crime report call), special numbers of 1339(hospital information) or 1399(illegal or poor food call), etc., daily life information guide numbers of 116(standard time guide) or 1333(traffic situation guide), and other useful telephone number of pizza chain stores, food restaurants chain, or laundry chain among 1588 or 080. Meanwhile, the numbers belonging to B is different depending countries and regions and thus amendment to the numbers has to be made pursuant to the region where the program is to be executed.

[17] Meanwhile, C refers to the numerals consisting of memorial days such as birth days or wedding memorial days of family, relative or acquaintance, festival days or holidays. Here, common festival days or memorial days such as Han GuI day or National Foundation day of Korea is previously memorized, and personal memorial days such as family birth days, sacrificial rite days, or wedding memorial days is input directly by a user.

[18] Fig.2 is a flow chart of a game method according to the present invention.

[19] Referring to Fig.2, when a program is prosecuted, question DB is generated and difficulty degree of the questions is set. The difficulty degree is determined depending on the steps as, for example, a first step designating one number among the numbers to be provided for questions, a second step designating two numbers among them, and a third step designating all of them, with a star mark. Here, the game is designed that numbers designated with a star mark will be answered correctly and higher step is difficult to be answered correctly.

[20] Referring to a game method, one optional question per every a trial is extracted from the question DB, and the covered numeral is provided pursuant to the difficult degree.

[21] Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are views depicting examples of the questions displayed on a portable terminal, wherein Fig. 3 is a case of displaying the question stored on A, Fig. 4 is a case of displaying the question stored on B, and Fig. 5 is a case of displaying the question stored on C. When an question is answered, the following question is subjected, and if all questions stored on the question DB are answered correctly, or the pre-set questions are answered correctly, a game is completed. Furthermore, when a question is answered incorrectly, a game is over.

[22] Subsequently, returning to the start step, the difficulty degree of the questions is set, and then the game is repeated. Here, it should be understood that game method may be in versed such that the numerals of telephone number or memorial days are questioned, and numeral characters are to be inputted in order to answer correctly the question.

[23] While this invention has been described in conjunction with the specific embodiments outlined above, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
