Method and apparatus for mediating the transaction of items {APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MEDIATING ITEM TRADE}

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for mediating transaction of items, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for providing a list of items to be traded to a user, and mediating transactions of items included in the list.

Recently, the number of games that provide a system for trading items between users is increasing.

As such, there are a method in which a service provider providing a game directly sells items and an auction method in which items are traded between users.

In particular, in the auction method, a user presents a price to purchase a registered item, and the purchaser is determined accordingly.For items registered in an auction, the winning bid cost is determined according to the balance of the type and number of items required by the users. do.

However, the current auction method shows registered items to all users at once, so when multiple identical items are registered on the exchange, they are traded at an excessively low price compared to the item value, or are excessive when the number of registered items is small. Competition is triggered and items are traded at too high a price.

Accordingly, there is a problem in that the auction system is not smoothly operated in the game because a sound item transaction cannot be made or the utilization rate of the exchange is low.

A related prior art document, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2011-0146320, relates to an online game item auction management method. The auction provided to the user is only indicated by the user terminal whether the auction has been conducted for the item subject to auction.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

However, before describing this, the meaning of the terms used below is first defined.

Hereinafter,'item' is a game element used to improve the game performance result of the user, and at least temporarily improves the game performance ability of the control target controlled by the user among game objects, or the user's game among game objects. At least temporarily degenerates the game performance ability of objects that block performance or game objects controlled by the other user, or additionally gives the user an opportunity to perform a given game or to execute a specific action in the game or to exercise special abilities. It may be a game object or other game element. Items can be sold in-game, and items can be exchanged, traded, or gifted between users.

Particularly, in the present invention, an item may be an independent transaction object in the game, and when items of the same type having the same value are registered as transaction objects, it will be described as being different items.

In addition,'exchange' refers to a virtual space that mediates an item to be traded according to a purchase condition suggested by a user or system.

A list including only a preset limited number of items among items registered in such an exchange is referred to as a'trade target list', and information on a different preset number of items may be included for each transaction target list provided to the user. At this time, items registered on the exchange other than those included in the currently offered transaction target list are not provided to the user, and accordingly, the above-described transaction target list is all items that the user can currently bid or purchase among the items registered on the exchange. Includes an item.

In addition to the terms defined above, terms that require explanation will be separately described below.

1 is a block diagram showing an item transaction intermediary apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The item trading intermediary device 100 stores game space information, game scenario information, game quest information, and various information related to game progress, and detects and records various events occurring in the game, thereby enabling time-series progress of the game. .

The item transaction intermediary device 100 may be implemented as an electronic terminal on which a game application is installed, or as a server-client system, and the system may include an electronic terminal on which a client for interaction with a user is installed. .

In this case, the electronic terminal may be implemented as a computer, a portable terminal, a television, a wearable device, etc. that may include an interface capable of interacting with a user. Here, the computer includes, for example, a notebook equipped with a web browser, a desktop, a laptop, and the like, and the portable terminal is, for example, a wireless communication device that ensures portability and mobility. , PCS (Personal Communication System), PDC (Personal Digital Cellular), PHS (Personal Handyphone System), PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), GSM (Global System for Mobile communications), IMT (International Mobile Telecommunication)-2000, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access)-2000, W-Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA), Wireless Broadband Internet (Wibro), Smart Phone, Mobile Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), etc. It may include a (Handheld) based wireless communication device. Further, the television may include Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), Internet Television (Internet Television), terrestrial TV, and cable TV. Furthermore, a wearable device is a type of information processing device that can be directly worn on the human body, such as watches, glasses, accessories, clothes, shoes, etc., and connects to a remote server or other terminal through a network directly or through another information processing device. Can be connected with.

In addition, the electronic terminal may detect that an input event is generated by detecting a user's click, touch, or tap through an interface, and the input event may include information on the user's input point.

In addition, the server may be implemented as an electronic terminal installed with a client for interaction with game users and a computing device capable of communicating through a network, and may include a storage device capable of storing data or a third server (not shown). Data can also be saved via.

The item transaction intermediary device 100 implemented in the form of an electronic terminal or a server-client as described above includes an item registration unit 110, a transaction object list generation unit 120, a transaction object list providing unit 130, and It may include an item transaction intermediary unit 140.

In addition, the item transaction intermediary device 100 provides communication between the internal components, that is, the item registration unit 110, the transaction object list generation unit 120, the transaction object list providing unit 130, and the item transaction intermediary unit 140. It enables and may also include a communication unit (not shown) for communicating with external components.

Meanwhile, the item registration unit 110 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may register an item to be a transaction target.

That is, the item registration unit 110 may receive an item to be registered in the exchange as a transaction target from a user. Alternatively, the item registration unit 110 may register an item as needed even if there is no registration action by the user.

According to an embodiment, the item registration unit 110 may obtain and register information on an item to be transacted from a user. The item registration unit 110 may select at least some of the items held by the user and register them in an exchange. In this case, the item registration unit 110 may receive a transaction condition for an item that the user wants to register from the user. Here, the transaction condition may include a condition for a transaction price desired by the user. For example, when an item is traded through an auction method, a minimum bid price may be input from a user. You can also receive information about the deadline for bidding.

In this case, according to an embodiment, the item registration unit 110 may register items only in response to a user's registration request for items less than a preset number. That is, only a limited number of items can be registered at the same time for any user.

For example, the item registration unit 110 can receive only one item from one user at the same time, reject the registration request for more than one registration request, and register the item in the exchange to the user. You can provide a message to the user that there is no. For example, if an item registered by a user is already registered in an exchange as a transaction target and has not yet been traded, the item registration unit 110 may restrict the registration of additional items by the user.

In addition, the item registration unit 110 may process items for which registration is requested in excess of a preset number as a standby registration, and when a transaction of an item registered by a user is completed, may register an item processed by standby registration.

By limiting the number of items that can be registered by one user in this way, each item is included and exposed in the transaction target list provided to each user with an average probability, thereby preventing a specific item or item of a specific user from being exposed. can do.

In addition, according to an embodiment, when the number of registered items is less than a preset number, the item registration unit 110 may create and register an item to be registered. In this case, the generated item may be composed of a type selected from the types of existing items. That is, the item registration unit 110 increases the quantity of items to be traded in order to maintain the number of trade targets above a certain level, but the item of the increasing quantity is a kind of item that already exists in the game provided by the item trading device 100 Can be

For example, if the preset minimum number of registered items is 100 and a transaction of items occurs, only 97 items are currently registered and there is no new item registration request from the user, the item registration unit 110 generates 3 items. To register.

This enables users to continuously participate in transactions by maintaining a minimum number or types of items on the exchange.

Meanwhile, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may include a transaction target list generation unit 120. The transaction object list generation unit 120 may generate a transaction object list by differently extracting a preset number of items for each user from the registered items.

According to one embodiment, the transaction target list generation unit 120 may randomly extract a preset number of items from registered items.

For example, the transaction target list generation unit 120 may randomly extract 10 items from among items registered in the item registration unit 110, and may generate a transaction target list including the extracted items.

According to another embodiment, the transaction target list generation unit 120 may extract a preset number of items from the registered items based on information about the user in the game.

For example, the transaction target list generation unit 120 may acquire information on the quest currently being conducted by the user in the game, and based on the obtained information, the required item for the current user to pass the quest is registered. You can extract items from items, or extract items other than essential items from registered items.

In this way, by providing a list of transactions including items that are different for each user, it is possible to increase the fun of the game by providing a feeling of anticipation such as drawing in an exchange.

In addition, the transaction target list generation unit 120 may update the transaction target list provided to the user upon completion of a preset update condition for the transaction target list provided to the user. To this end, the transaction target list generation unit 120 may monitor whether a user completes a preset update condition.

When the update condition is completed, the transaction target list generation unit 120 may extract a preset number of items from the remaining items other than the items included in the transaction target list among registered items and update the transaction target list.

The update condition can be completed when a certain update time elapses, for example. Alternatively, the update condition may be completed by using a game product in which a user can make a "renewal request" using game money. Here, the game goods that can be requested for renewal are game money that is used as currency with a certain value in the game, game points acquired by playing the game, and other game money or items purchased using game points. I can.

That is, the transaction target list may be updated every predetermined period, and even if the predetermined period has not elapsed, the user's game goods may be exhausted and updated. For example, the transaction target list includes a total of 5 items and can be updated every day. Accordingly, the user can decide whether to trade only for a total of 5 items per day, as long as the game goods are not consumed. However, if the user updates the transaction target list using the game goods, additional five items can be checked. At this time, the update period may be calculated again from the time when the user updates the transaction target list using the game goods.

At this time, the update condition for updating the transaction target list according to the embodiment may be composed of two or more update conditions having different degrees of difficulty in completing the update condition, and the transaction target list generation unit 120 is the difficulty level of the completed update condition. According to this, a preset number of items to be included in the transaction target list to be updated may be extracted by changing the extraction probability for the registered item.

For example, when the update condition is completed by a user requesting an update by deducting the game money that can be obtained in the game, the transaction target list generation unit 120 reduces the extraction probability of the item with a high rating among the registered items by 10%. , You can set the extraction probability for items with low grade to 90%.

Unlike this, for example, when the update condition is completed by requesting an update by deducting a jewel item obtained by a user's payment in cash, the transaction target list generation unit 120 extracts an item with a high grade among the registered items. You can set the extraction probability to 90% and 10% for low-grade items.

Thereafter, the transaction target list generation unit 120 may extract a preset item from among registered items according to an extraction probability set in response to the update condition completed by the user.

In other words, compared to the case of completing the game condition by subtracting the game money that can be obtained in the process of playing the game in the game, it is considered that the difficulty is higher to complete the game condition by subtracting the gem item purchased in cash. Therefore, in the latter case, it is possible to create a transaction target list by relatively increasing the extraction probability of an item with a high grade. In this way, it is possible to increase the user's satisfaction by providing a reward for varying the grade of the item to be updated and provided according to the cost or effort consumed by the user for the update request.

On the other hand, the transaction target list generation unit 120 may replace an item in which the transaction is completed by the item transaction intermediary unit 140 to be described later among the items included in the transaction target list provided to the user with another item.

That is, when at least one item of the items included in the transaction target list provided to the user has been traded, the transaction target list generation unit 120 may update as new items as the number of traded items regardless of the preset update conditions. I can.

At this time,'transaction' is an act in which an item included in the transaction target list belongs to a specific user.For example, a transaction is an act in which a user who wants to purchase an item pays a value corresponding to the item and makes the item his/her own. A general sale method or an auction method in which users who want to purchase an item proceed with a bid at a price that is considered to be a value corresponding to the item, and attribute the item to a user who presents the highest bid by the bidding deadline.

For example, if two items out of 10 items included in the transaction target list of an arbitrary user are traded, the transaction target list generation unit 120 makes a transaction even before the update time elapses or the user requests a paid update. You can update the two completed items with other items.

Through this, it is possible to increase the user's desire to participate in the transaction by providing the user with a constant number of items to be traded.

Meanwhile, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may include a transaction target list providing unit 130. The transaction object list providing unit 130 may provide the transaction object list generated by the above-described transaction object list generation unit 120 for a specific user to a corresponding user.

When a request for a transaction target list is received from a user, the transaction target list providing unit 130 provides the transaction target list generated by the transaction target list generation unit 120 to the user, but when the update conditions are completed, the transaction target list The list generation unit 120 may provide a newly updated transaction target list to the user.

In addition, the transaction object list providing unit 130 may provide a transaction object list of another user to the user based on a preset exchange condition. According to one embodiment, when a user uses a swap item for swapping a list of transactions with other users, the list of transactions providing unit 130 creates a list of transactions between the user who used the swap item and another user. Can be swapped.

For example, when a user who has purchased a swap item selects another user, the transaction object list providing unit 130 may swap the transaction object list of the selected other user with the transaction object list of the user.

Or, for example, when another user is set as a friend user in the swap item, the transaction object list providing unit 130 may swap the transaction object list provided to the friend user with the transaction object list of the user.

According to another embodiment, when another user purchases a transaction object list sold by the user, the transaction object list providing unit 130 may provide the user's transaction object list to the other user. Or, on the contrary, when a user purchases a transaction target list of another user, the transaction target list providing unit 130 may provide the transaction target list of another user to the user.

At this time, according to an embodiment, the transaction object list providing unit 130 may provide the existing transaction object list to a user who has purchased the transaction object list of another user after a predetermined time elapses.

Meanwhile, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may include an item transaction intermediary unit 140. When the transaction condition for at least one item included in the transaction target list is completed, the item transaction intermediary unit 140 attributes the item for which the transaction condition is completed to a specific user. In this case, an item that a user can bid or purchase may be limited to items included in the transaction target list provided to the user. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, only some of the items registered in the exchange, that is, items included in the transaction target list are provided to the user, so that other items are not exposed to the user, and accordingly, items included in the transaction target list. Only within the range of can a user bid for a transaction or attempt a purchase.

According to one embodiment, the item transaction intermediary unit 140 may transfer ownership of the item to a user who preferentially pays the selling price matched with the item included in the transaction target list.

According to another embodiment, the item trading intermediary unit 140 may obtain a bid price for a certain period of time from at least one user for an item registered through an exchange, and present the highest bid price when the certain period ends. Items can be traded in an auction method that transfers ownership of the item to one user. In this case, when an item is traded in an auction method, the type and number of items that a user can participate in bidding unlike a general auction method. It is limited, and even before the deadline for bidding has reached, it is necessary to decide whether or not to bid before the list of transactions is updated. Accordingly, in an embodiment of the present invention, rather than trading items in a general auction method, it is possible to inspire users to bid for items included in their transaction target list. Furthermore, even if items are traded in a general sales method, the type and number of items that the user can purchase are limited, and the user has to decide whether to purchase within a certain period of time, so the user may include rare items or popular items in his or her transaction target list. If you decide to buy quickly.

Therefore, according to the embodiment of the present invention, an effect of activating item transaction is derived. In particular, since it is not possible to predict which items will be included in the transaction target list after the update, it is possible to acquire items within the transaction target list provided to the current user, so the frequency of item transactions between users is increased, and accordingly, users for the game It can also increase people's interest.

In addition, when a specific item is traded in this way, as described above, the trade target list generation unit 120 deletes the corresponding item from all trade target lists including the traded item and substitutes another item for registration. At this time, the other item that replaces the traded item may be selected from items of the same kind as the traded item, or items having a trade condition similar to the traded item, but this is not necessarily the case, and the user's game corresponding to each trade target list It may be selected differently depending on the information within.

2 to 5 are flowcharts illustrating an item transaction brokerage method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to this, the item transaction brokerage device 100 is a transaction object including a preset number of items among items registered as a transaction object. The list may be provided to the user (S2001).

To this end, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may register an item to be a transaction target.

In addition, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may generate a transaction object list by differently extracting a transaction object list including a preset number of items among registered items for each user.

In addition, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may provide the generated transaction target list to the user.

Thereafter, when the update condition preset for the user is completed, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may update the transaction target list (S2002).

In this case, the update condition may be completed by at least one of elapse of a preset time or use of a preset game product.

When such an update condition is completed, the item trading intermediary device 100 extracts the preset number of items from items other than the items included in the provided transaction target list among items registered as a transaction target, Can be created.

For example, when a preset time elapses after the transaction target list is provided, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may update the transaction target list provided to the user.

Or, for example, when a user requests an update using an in-game product, the item trading intermediary device 100 may update a list of target transactions provided to the user.

In addition, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may provide a newly created transaction object list to the user in place of the provided transaction object list.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5, a description will be given in accordance with each embodiment of the present invention.

At this time, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may determine whether the registration request from the user exceeds a preset number (S3002), and may stop registration of items exceeding a preset number (S3003).

For example, if the preset number is 2, the item trading intermediary device 100 performs registration for 2 items in response to a registration request for 10 items from the user, but does not register the remaining 8 items. I can.

In this case, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may notify the user of an unregistered item.

Meanwhile, FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which the item transaction intermediary device 100 generates and provides a transaction target list according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to this, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may receive a request from a user to provide a transaction target list (S4001).

For example, when a user visits an auction house, which is an exchange, the item trading intermediary device 100 may create a list of transactions for the user who visits the auction house.

To this end, the item trading intermediary device 100 may determine whether the number of registered items is less than a preset number through steps S3001 to S3003 of FIG. 3 (S4002), and the number of registered items is less than a preset number. In this case, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may create and register an item to be registered (S4003).

For example, the item trading intermediary device 100 may create and register any one type of item among items used in the game. Alternatively, the item trading intermediary device 100 may collect items sold in a store and register them in an exchange in order to maintain the total quantity of items in the game.

In addition, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may extract a preset number of items from among registered items according to a preset method (S4004).

In this case, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may differently extract a preset number of items from registered items for each user.

According to an embodiment, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may randomly extract a preset number of items from registered items.

According to another embodiment, the item trading intermediary device 100 may extract a preset number of items from registered items based on information about a user in a game. For example, based on the information on the character possessed by the user, the item transaction intermediary device 100 can identify an item required for upgrading the current character, and extract a preset number of items including the identified item. I can.

Thereafter, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may generate a transaction target list including a preset number of items (S4005).

That is, as an embodiment in which the item transaction intermediary device 100 extracts items, a preset number of items may be randomly extracted from registered items.

For example, the item trading intermediary device 100 may extract a preset number of items at random from items registered for each user, but count the number of extractions of each item to extract items with a high count.

In another embodiment, the item trading intermediary device 100 may extract a preset number of items from registered items based on information about a user in a game.

For example, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may obtain quest information performed by a user and extract an item so that an item necessary for performing the quest is included.

In addition, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may provide the generated transaction target list to the user (S4006).

6 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a list of transaction targets provided by the item transaction intermediary device 100 to each of a first user and a second user. Referring to this, the item transaction intermediary device 100 has the same number of items for each of the first user and the second user, but includes a first transaction target list 601 and a second transaction target list 602 including different types of items. ) Can be created.

Meanwhile, the item transaction intermediary device 10 may replace an item for which the transaction is completed among a preset number of items included in the transaction target list with another item.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of updating a transaction target list by the item transaction intermediary apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to this, according to an embodiment, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may obtain an update request from the user (S5001).

That is, when a user requests an update by consuming game goods such as game money or jewels purchased with cash, the item trading intermediary device 100 may update the transaction target list.

In this case, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may differently set the extraction probability of an item included in the transaction target list to be updated based on the difficulty level of the completed update condition (S5002).

For example, when a user makes a payment with game money, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may set the extraction probability of an item required for a quest performed by the current user to 30%.

In contrast, for example, when a user pays with cash, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may set the extraction probability of an item required for a quest currently performed by the user to 90% as high as 90%.

Thereafter, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may update the transaction object list by extracting a preset number of items from the remaining items other than the items included in the transaction object list among registered items (S5003).

In this way, by allowing the transaction target list to be immediately updated at the request of the user, a new transaction target list is provided to users who have not found an item to bid or purchase in the currently provided transaction target list, or have already completed bidding or purchase. I can provide it right away. Accordingly, the user can repeat the process of re-trading by finding an item that he needs or wants to trade again in the newly updated transaction target list.

7 is an exemplary view showing an updated transaction target list. 6 and 7, the item transaction intermediary device 100 randomly selects the first transaction target list 601 and the new items 701 and 702 according to an update request from the user who has purchased the'update' 601. It can be extracted and updated to the second transaction target list 703.

On the other hand, when the preset time has elapsed (S5004), the item transaction intermediary device 100 may update the transaction target list as in step S5003.

Meanwhile, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may detect whether an item included in the transaction target list provided to the user has been traded (S5005).

At this time, when the item included in the transaction target list provided to the user is completed, the item transaction intermediary device 100 extracts a new item as in step S5003 as many as the number of the transaction completed items and replaces the transaction completed item in the transaction target list. I can.

8 is an exemplary view showing an updated transaction target list. 6 and 8, the item transaction intermediary device 100 may update an item 603 for which a transaction has been completed among the first transaction target list 601 to a second item 801.

Through this, by keeping a certain number of items included in the transaction target list, it is possible to increase the participation rate by instilling a perception that item trading is active to the user.
