Description

System and method for generating revenue through fishing game using VR contents {REVENUE GENERATION SYSTEM AND METHOD THROUGH FISHING GAME USING VR CONTENTS}

The present disclosure relates to a system for generating revenue through a fishing game using virtual reality content, and specifically, provides a user with revenue such as goods according to the participation rate and game result of a VR (Virtual Reality) fishing game, and a game providing server relates to a system and method for generating advertising revenue.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, material described in this section is not prior art to the claims in this application, and inclusion in this section is not an admission that it is prior art.

Virtual reality (VR) refers to a specific environment or situation, or the technology itself, that is similar to reality created by artificial technology using computers, etc., but is not real. At this time, the created virtual (imaginary) environment or situation stimulates the user's five senses and allows them to freely move in and out of the boundary between reality and imagination by allowing them to have a spatial and temporal experience similar to the real one. In addition, users are not only immersed in virtual reality, but also can interact with things implemented in virtual reality, such as manipulating or giving commands using real devices. In addition, virtual reality is different from simulations implemented unilaterally in that it can interact with users and create user experiences. Examples of virtual reality systems that can easily come to mind include flight training simulations and games such as Second Life, which are expressed in 3D and can reflect the user's will. The AR/VR market is already established as a multi-billion dollar market and is expected to continue growing well beyond the 120 billion dollar market within the next few years.

The elements necessary to explain virtual reality are three-dimensional spatiality, real-time interactivity, and immersion. Three-dimensional spatiality means that in order to create a virtual space in which users can experience interactions that are as similar as possible to those in real physical space, physical activities and commands in real space are input into a computer, and they are returned to a three-dimensional similarity. It means the elements necessary to output to space. The elements necessary to realize a 3D space include a computer, keyboard, joystick, mouse, voice detector, and data to output it in real time, and through these devices, users can be more immersed in virtual reality.

Virtual reality is a concept that includes artificial reality, cyberspace, and virtual worlds. He appears as the protagonist of the game and solves the problem. Virtual reality has been introduced and actively applied to various fields, such as being used for surgery and dissection practice in the medical field and flight control training in the aviation and military fields.

On the other hand, a technology that combines virtual reality and augmented reality (AR), which is a technology that adds virtual information to the real world, is called mixed reality (MR). VR, AR, and MR are all technologies that enable people to perceive reality by realizing a reality that does not actually exist.

In the case of a game to which virtual reality technology is applied, the user directly participates in the game rather than controlling the game character, thereby maximizing the level of immersion in the game. Accordingly, various virtual reality games have recently appeared, but conventional virtual reality games only provide entertainment effects, which are the main purpose of games, and do not provide practical benefits that help game users and game providers.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the server 200 according to the embodiment may include a sponsor management module 210, a conversion module 230, and a revenue providing module 250. The term 'module' used in this specification should be interpreted as including software, hardware, or a combination thereof, depending on the context in which the term is used. For example, the software may be machine language, firmware, embedded code, and application software. As another example, the hardware may be a circuit, processor, computer, integrated circuit, integrated circuit core, sensor, micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS), passive device, or combination thereof.

The sponsor management module 210 manages information of sponsor companies that provide user revenue and calculates an advertising amount. In the embodiment, the advertising amount may be calculated according to the number of products of sponsors that match the game item and the type and amount of revenue provided to the user.

The conversion module 230 converts items including user information participating in the fishing game, game participation time of the user, and amount of catch obtained as a result of the game into a reward. In the embodiment, each acquired item, such as a fish acquired by a user during a fishing game and a reward icon, may be converted into a reward.

The revenue providing module 250 provides user revenue including points, cash, gift certificates, and products in exchange for converted rewards. For example, when a user acquires a certain item after playing a game, he or she can convert it into a reward, and use the converted reward to purchase points, cash, gift certificates, products, etc. provided in the embodiment. Also, the revenue providing module 250 provides user revenue matched to items including fish acquired by the user during the game. For example, an item such as a specific fish or icon is directly linked to revenue from a product or service provided by a sponsor, and when a user acquires a specific item, the user can obtain the linked revenue without converting a reward. Further, in the embodiment, the higher the acquisition difficulty of the item, the higher the reward conversion value is matched, so that the user can receive the higher value of the return as the user spends more time and effort to acquire the item. In addition, in the embodiment, a matching item of user revenue provided by the sponsor may be determined according to the advertising amount of the sponsor. For example, in the embodiment, the acquisition difficulty of an item matched with a product provided by a corresponding sponsor may be set in proportion to the advertising amount of the sponsor. Specifically, when a fishing game providing server pays an above-average advertisement amount and requests an advertisement for a specific product, the server 200 matches the product to a larger number of game items than average to increase the frequency of exposure of the product. there is. In addition, by matching the advertisement product to a game item with a higher acquisition difficulty as the advertisement price increases, the user's internal satisfaction such as a sense of achievement after acquiring the item can be recognized as the value of the corresponding advertisement product.

In an embodiment, the virtual reality fishing game device includes at least one control unit operably connected to at least one of the sensor unit, the communication unit, and the driving unit, and the at least one control unit detects a physical quantity changed by an external force through the sensor unit and , Transmits information on the changed physical quantity to a control box through the communication unit. In addition, a control command is received from the control box, and based on the received control command, it is configured to control the movement of the controller through a driving unit.

The control box is connected to the controller through a string, and the movement of the controller is associated with vibration of the controller and a change in tension of the string. In the embodiment, the changed physical quantity includes at least one of the inclination, acceleration, and rotation angle of the controller, and the control command and the changed physical quantity are correlated through VR content provided by the controller. In the embodiment, when a user applies a tension higher than a predetermined threshold value to the fishing line through an action of pulling the fishing rod, the motor controller may transmit the corresponding information to the control board, and the CPU of the control unit may determine the size of the fish determined based on the VR content, Depending on the type, the corresponding feedback information is determined and transmitted to the motor controller through the control module. The motor controller may operate the motor based on the information received from the control module to maintain the tension of the fishing line corresponding to the user pulling the fishing rod. In addition, the feedback information determined by the controller is generated based on VR content. When it is determined that the fish caught on the user's fishing rod is large and strong in the VR content, the fishing line between the user's fishing rod and the fishing line connection portion may be controlled to have high tension.

Hereinafter, a method of generating revenue through a fishing game using virtual reality contents will be described in turn. Since the operation (function) of the method for generating revenue through a fishing game according to the embodiment is essentially the same as the function of the system for generating revenue through a fishing game, overlapping descriptions with FIGS. 1 to 3 will be omitted.
