1. Smart Game Trading System

Below, a smart game transaction system according to one embodiment of the present application is described.

In this specification, the smart game transaction system is a kind of SNS server that provides SNS (social network service) functions, and can be a system that mediates transactions related to various types of games. For example, the smart game transaction system not only provides a function that allows users to register game-related posts and communicate with other users, but also mediates transactions between users of game items implemented in a specific type of game, and provides a bus system between users for the development of characters in the game. At this time, the smart game transaction system can enhance the reliability of the transaction by notarizing a contract for the transaction of game items and the bus system, thereby strengthening the legal binding force of the contract between the parties. In addition, goods for transactions within the smart game transaction system can be performed by coins developed within the system itself.

Below we will explain the smart game trading system in more detail.

2. Composition of the smart game transaction system

FIG. 1 is a drawing for explaining an example of devices included in a smart game transaction system according to one embodiment of the present application.

According to one embodiment of the present application, the SNS server (110) not only provides a function for users to register game-related posts and communicate with other users, but also mediates transactions between users of game items implemented in a specific type of game, and provides a bus system between users for the development of characters in the game. Game items of various types of games can be registered on the SNS server, and the registered items can be traded by methods such as bidding or direct payment, as will be described later. The SNS server can also mediate a game agency or game support contract between a user registered as a game agency driver (G-Driver) and a game supporter (G-supporter) and a user registered as a game bus (G-bus) who wants to develop characters, in order to facilitate the development of characters of various types of games. The specific operations will be described later.

According to one embodiment of the present application, the electronic device (120) may include various types of electronic devices that can communicate with the SNS server (110) and be used by users (e.g., clients). The electronic devices may include personal terminals (e.g., smart phones, etc.) (121), electronic devices installed in a fixed location (e.g., PCs, etc.) (122), and movable personal notebooks (122).

The first control circuit (112) can control the overall operation of the SNS server (110). To this end, the first control circuit (112) can perform calculations and processing of various types of information and control the operation of components of the SNS server (110) (e.g., the first communication circuit (111)). The first control circuit (112) can be implemented as a computer or a similar device according to hardware, software, or a combination thereof. In terms of hardware, the first control circuit (112) can be provided in the form of an electronic circuit (e.g., a CPU, etc.) that processes electrical signals to perform a control function, and in terms of software, it can be provided in the form of a program that drives the hardware-type first control circuit (112). Modules (e.g., an interface provision module (113), an information management module (114), etc.) included in the first control circuit (112) of the SNS server (110) described below can control the first control circuit (112) to perform operations associated with the modules. In other words, the modules are implemented as programs, computer-readable codes, processes, or instructions for controlling the operations associated with the modules, and when the modules are executed by the first control circuit (112), the first control circuit (112) can control the operations associated with the modules. Meanwhile, unless otherwise specifically stated in the following description, the operation of the electronic device (100) can be interpreted as being performed under the control of the first control circuit (112).

The first control circuit (112) includes an interface providing module (113), and the interface providing module (113) can provide UIs (e.g., splash UI (113a), home UI (113b), listing UI (113c), chat UI (113d), my page UI (113e)) as shown in FIGS. 2b to 2c. The interface providing module (113) can provide information through the UIs and receive information from the user's electronic device (120). The splash UI (113a) can provide a login menu and a membership registration menu. The above home UI (113b) may include a search function that provides search results for a notification function, a game, a server list, and tradable game items, a sales history menu that provides a sales list and a detailed page for items, a purchase history menu that provides a purchase list and a detailed page for items, a wish list menu that provides a list of game items that the user has wished for, a mileage management menu, a customer center menu implemented to provide answers to various questions and notices, a user guide menu, etc. The item registration UI (113c) is a menu for registering game items for sale, and may include a game money sale menu for selling game money and a menu for selling various items other than game money. The chat UI (113d) may include a menu for providing 1:1 chatting between users for trading items or using a bus system. The My Page UI (113e) includes a menu for managing various types of personal information of users, and may include a profile menu including personal details, a user mileage management menu, a user sales/purchase history menu, environment settings, and an interest keyword menu implemented to provide information on a registered item if the registered item includes a specific keyword. Meanwhile, although not shown, the UIs that can be provided may include a UI including a menu for contracts and chats between users registered as game proxy drivers (G-Drivers) and game supporters (G-supporters) and users registered as game buses (G-buses) that wish to be trained.

The above first control circuit (112) includes an information management module (114), and the information management module (114) can obtain and accumulate information received from the electronic device (120) through the above-described UIs.

The above database (115) can store various types of information (e.g., information about users registered as bus/drivers/supporters, information about users acquired through My Page UI, information about game items, etc.). The database (115) can store data temporarily or semi-permanently. For example, the database (115) of the SNS server (110) can store an operating program (OS: Operating System) for operating the SNS server (110), data or programs for hosting a website, or data about an application (e.g., a web application). Examples of the database (115) can include a hard disk drive (HDD: Hard Disk Drive), a solid state drive (SSD), a flash memory, a ROM (Read-Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), etc. Such a database can be provided as a built-in type or a detachable type.

2.1.2 An example of the configuration of an electronic device

Below, an example of the configuration of an electronic device (120) is described.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of a configuration of an electronic device (120) according to one embodiment of the present application. Meanwhile, the electronic device (120) is not limited to that shown in FIG. 3, and may include fewer or more configurations than the configurations shown.

First, the configurations of the electronic device (120) are described below.

Referring to FIG. 3, according to one embodiment, an electronic device (120) may include a second communication circuit (121), a second control circuit (122), an input device (123), and a display (124).

The second communication circuit (121) above can communicate with an external device (e.g., SNS server (110)). For example, the second communication circuit (121) can be connected to a network via wireless communication or wired communication to establish communication with an external device (e.g., SNS server (110)) and exchange information and/or data through the established communication. The second communication circuit (121) can be implemented like the first communication circuit (111) of the SNS server (110) described above, so that a duplicate description is omitted.

The second control circuit (122) can control the overall operation of the electronic device (120). To this end, the second control circuit (122) can perform calculations and processing of various types of information and control the operation of components (e.g., the second communication circuit (121)) of the electronic device (120). The second control circuit (122) can be implemented like the first control circuit (112) of the SNS server (110) described above, so a duplicate description will be omitted.

The input device (123) can receive (or acquire) information input from a user (e.g., input for selecting a graphic object included in a page provided from an SNS server (110). The input device (123) can be various interfaces or connection ports that receive user input or output information to the user. The input device (123) can be divided into an input module and an output module, and the input module receives user input from the user. The user input can be in various forms including key input, touch input, and voice input. Examples of input modules that can receive such user input include a traditional keypad, keyboard, and mouse, as well as a touch sensor that detects the user's touch, a microphone that receives a voice signal, a camera that recognizes gestures through image recognition, a proximity sensor such as an illuminance sensor or an infrared sensor that detects the user's approach, a motion sensor that recognizes user movement through an acceleration sensor or a gyro sensor, and various other forms of input means that detect or receive various forms of user input. Here, the touch sensor may be implemented as a piezoelectric or electrostatic touch sensor that detects touch through a touch panel or touch film attached to the display panel, an optical touch sensor that detects touch in an optical manner, etc. In this case, the input device (123) may be implemented in the display (124) described below to receive a user's touch input. In other words, the display (124) may include a touch screen as the input device (123), and may receive, for example, a touch, gesture, proximity, or hovering input using an electronic pen or a part of the user's body. In addition, the input device (123) may be implemented in the form of an input interface (such as a USB port or PS/2 port) that connects an external input device that receives user input instead of a device that detects user input on its own.

The display (124) above may include a liquid crystal display (LCD), a light emitting diode (LED) display, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, a micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) display, or an electronic paper display. The display (124) may display an interface that visually configures commercial information, etc.

2.2. Implementation example of smart game trading system

The smart game transaction system can be implemented as a system type or an on-device type as described above.

According to one embodiment, if the operation of providing UIs for trading game items or using a game bus system with an electronic device (120) as described above and collecting and/or managing information through the provided UIs is performed only on the SNS server (110), the smart game trading system can be defined as a system type.

In another embodiment, when the above-described configurations are implemented in one physical device, the smart game transaction system can be defined as an on-device type. For example, the configurations of the SNS server (110) can be implemented in the electronic device (120), in which case the smart game transaction system can be defined as an on-device type. In this case, the electronic device (120) receives and installs a program including an interface provision module (113) and an information management module (114), and based on the execution of the program, provides UIs for game item trading or using the game bus system on its own, and performs an operation of collecting and/or managing information through the provided UIs.

Also, without being limited to what has been described, the smart game transaction system may be implemented as a hybrid type in which the system type and the on-device type are combined. For example, a form in which at least one component of the SNS server (110) (e.g., the interface providing module (113)) is implemented in the electronic device (100) and other components (e.g., the information management module (114) and the first database (115)) are implemented in the SNS server (110) may be defined as a hybrid type.

3. Operation of the smart game trading system

Below, various examples of the operation of devices (e.g., SNS server (110) and electronic device (120)) that constitute a smart game transaction system are described.

3.1. Example 1 <Action for trading game items>

According to one embodiment, the SNS server (110) may receive a request for purchasing and/or selling a game item in operation 401. For example, the SNS server (110) may establish a communication connection with an electronic device (121a) of a seller of a game item and electronic devices (121b, 121c) of buyers for purchasing the game item, as illustrated in 501 of FIG. 5. The game item may include various types of items implemented in games, and may include game money (511a) defined as a currency used in the game and various types of items (511b) (e.g., weapons, armor, buildings, etc.) that can be purchased with game money (511a) other than the game money (511a). Meanwhile, without being limited to what is described and/or illustrated, the game item may include a product for a game driver or game supporter described in the “Second Embodiment.” The above product may be defined as a product that assists the development of a purchaser's character (e.g., a game bus) by a specific game driver or a specific game supporter.

According to one embodiment, when the SNS server (110) receives a request (511) for selling items (511a, 511b) from an electronic device (121a) of a seller of game items, the SNS server (110) may register the requested items (511a, 511b) in an item list in which game items are registered for sale on the SNS server (110). The request (511) for selling the items (511a, 511b) may include information about the type of game, the server of the game, the type of item, detailed information about the item (e.g., ability value, etc.), and a desired price. The item list is provided through the search UI described above, and information about the items (511a, 511b) may be provided by filtering the item list based on a search word, the type of the game, the server of the game, the type of item, detailed information about the item, and the price.

According to one embodiment, the SNS server (110) may provide the above-described list of items when electronic devices (121b, 121c) of game item purchasers are connected, and may receive a purchase request (512a, 512b) for a specific item among a plurality of items included in the list of items from the electronic devices (121b, 121c).

According to one embodiment, the SNS server (110) may provide different transaction UIs depending on whether the type of item currently being traded (e.g., sold and/or purchased) is game money (511b).

According to one embodiment, the SNS server (110) may provide an SNS function as illustrated in FIG. 6. For example, the SNS server (110) may provide an SNS page for registering images (611a, 611b, 611c) for each account of a user using the SNS server (110) and sharing them with other users, as illustrated in 601 of FIG. 6. The SNS page may include a feed list (611) in which images (611a, 611b, 611c) are registered, a chat list (612) providing information on chat rooms for using game items or bus systems, and a friends list (613) indicating users who are friends with the user.

According to one embodiment, the SNS server (110) determines in operation 402 whether the type of the game item requested for sale and/or purchase is game money, and if the type of the game item is not game money (or, if the type of the game item is one of various types of items (511b) (e.g., weapons, armor, buildings, etc.) that can be purchased with game money (511a)), an auction for the game item can be conducted in operation 403, and a price for the game item can be determined in operation 404. First, the SNS server (110) determines whether, among the electronic devices (121b, 121c) that requested the purchase, there is an electronic device that can immediately proceed with payment at the seller's desired price for the item (511b) that is not game money, and if there is an electronic device that can immediately proceed with payment, the price for the game item (e.g., game item A) can be determined as the desired price, and if there is no electronic device that can immediately proceed with payment, the auction for the game item (e.g., game item A) can be conducted. The SNS server (110) provides an auction screen (500) for inputting a bid price to the electronic devices (121b, 121c) that requested the purchase, and can determine the price of the game item (e.g., game item A) with the highest bid amount on the provided auction screen (500). For example, the auction screen (500) can be implemented in a chat room format or a format for registering a post as illustrated in FIG. 5b, and can include detailed information about the game item (e.g., game item A), a screen for inputting bid amounts of buyers, and a menu indicating the current highest bid amount. The electronic devices (121b, 121c) can receive bid amounts (500a, 500b) from users on the auction screen (500) and transmit them to the server (110). The server (110) may determine the amount of the game item (e.g., game item A) as the largest amount among the prices bid so far after a specified time has elapsed since the last time the amount was received. If the server (110) receives an amount that updates the largest amount within the specified time, the server may continue to conduct an auction for the game item (e.g., game item A). The payment and auction may be performed based on coins (or mileage) stored in the SNS server.

According to one embodiment, after the price of a game item is determined (e.g., determined through immediate payment or auction), the SNS server (110) determines whether the determined amount is deposited within a specified period in operation 405, and if the determined amount is deposited, a chat room for exchanging the game item can be opened in operation 406. For example, the specified period may be one day, but may be set to various times depending on the seller's settings. The SNS server (110) may provide information on the address of a virtual account operated by the SNS server (110) or a coin wallet used by the SNS server (110) to the electronic device (121b) that has bid the highest amount among the plurality of electronic devices (121b, 121c). The buyer may deposit the determined amount into the virtual account or transfer an amount of coins corresponding to the determined amount to the address of the wallet. If the amount is not deposited within the specified period, the SNS server (110) may proceed with a failed auction. The SNS server (110) can open and provide a chat room for chatting with the seller's electronic device (121a) and the buyer's electronic device (121b) as shown in 502 of FIG. 5 based on the deposit of the above amount. The chat room can be provided through a chat list as shown in 602 of FIG. 6, which is provided when the chat list (612) opened on the SNS page described above in 601 of FIG. 6 is selected.

According to one embodiment, if the type of the game item is game money, the SNS server (110) may process payment for the game item in operation 407, and open a chat room for exchanging the game item in operation 406. The SNS server (110) may request payment to an electronic device (121b) that has requested a purchase of the game money. For example, the SNS server (110) may grasp the cash rate corresponding to the game money for a specific type of game in real time, and may request payment in the amount of cash corresponding to the requested purchase of the game money to the electronic device (121b). The payment may be performed by mileage accumulated in the SNS server, card payment, and payment through the account or wallet described above. When the payment is completed, the SNS server (110) may open a chat room for trading the game item (e.g., game item A) and provide it to the electronic device (121a) of the seller and the electronic device (121b) of the buyer.

According to one embodiment, the SNS server (110) may identify whether the purchase and/or sale of a game item is successfully completed based on the chat room in operation 408, and if the purchase and/or sale is completed based on the determination result of whether the purchase and/or sale is completed in operation 409, the deposited amount may be transferred to the seller in operation 410, and if the purchase and/or sale is not completed, the server may confirm and process the purchase and/or sale in operation 411. For example, as illustrated in 602 of FIG. 6, when the electronic devices (121a, 121b) select a chat room for trading a game item (e.g., game item A), the server (110) may provide a chat room (or chat UI) to the electronic devices (121a, 121b) to perform a chat for trading the game item, as illustrated in 603 of FIG. 6. The above chat room may include a seller's profile (631), a buyer's profile (632), a list (635) implemented to provide detailed descriptions of game items being traded (e.g., game item A), and lists (633, 634) for checking completion of purchase and sale. When the seller's profile (631) or the buyer's profile (632) is selected, the SNS server (110) may provide information on transaction history so far along with exposing personal information of the seller and the buyer. The seller and the buyer may chat about the contents of the game item transaction (e.g., meeting at a designated game location on a designated day to proceed with the transaction) in the chat room, and may connect to the game server (130) to conduct the transaction along with the chat contents. When the SNS server (110) identifies that the transaction is completed based on the selection of the list (633, 634) for checking the completion of purchase and sale, the SNS server (110) may provide the coins stored in the wallet (531a) of the server (110) to the seller's wallet (531b) as shown in 503 of FIG. 5, or transfer the money (531) deposited in the virtual account to the seller's account. When the list (633, 634) for checking the completion of purchase and sale is not selected within a specified period, the SNS server (110) may determine whether the transaction of the game item is completed on its own, and if the transaction is completed, transfer the coins or money as described above, or refund the coins or money to the buyer if the transaction is not completed. At this time, the SNS server (110) may analyze whether the transaction of the game item is completed based on the natural language processing analysis of the message content of the chat room.

According to one embodiment, when the server (110) receives a message including text about a transaction time of a seller or a buyer in a chat room, the server (110) may automatically determine whether a transaction is possible at the corresponding transaction time based on information in a calendar app on the electronic device (120) of the other party. For example, the server (110) may identify that a transaction is initiated at "2 o'clock" based on natural language processing analysis of the message of the seller, "I will request a transaction at 2 o'clock on server A." The server (110) may request information in a calendar app from the electronic device (121a) of the buyer, receive information in the calendar app from the electronic device (121a), and determine whether there is a schedule at "2 o'clock" based on the received information in the calendar app. If there is a schedule at "2 o'clock," the server (110) may determine that a transaction is impossible and may inquire about whether to use a proxy bot for the sale through the electronic device (121a). If the use of a bot is decided by the seller, the server (110) can use the bot to access the seller's account and trade items according to the trading schedule.

3.3. Third embodiment <Embodiment of automatically recommending bid amount based on artificial intelligence model>

Since the operations of the smart game transaction system described above can be applied to the third embodiment, redundant descriptions are omitted.

According to one embodiment, the SNS server (110) can generate an artificial intelligence model based on the personal information of users accumulated in the SNS server (110) and information on game items for which users have bid, and can automatically conduct an auction based on the generated artificial intelligence model without requiring users to participate in the auction in a cumbersome manner. This can reduce the burden of using this system on office workers who have difficulty participating in the auction in real time.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining another example of the operation of the smart game transaction system according to one embodiment of the present application. According to various embodiments, the operation of the smart game transaction system is not limited to the order of the operations illustrated in FIG. 9, and may be performed in a different order from the illustrated order. In addition, according to various embodiments, more operations may be performed than the operation of the smart game transaction system illustrated in FIG. 9, or at least one operation may be performed less. Hereinafter, FIG. 9 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11.

FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining an example of an operation for generating an artificial intelligence model for automatically recommending a bid amount of an SNS server (110) according to one embodiment of the present application. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining an example of an operation for automatically conducting an auction using an artificial intelligence model of an SNS server (110) according to one embodiment of the present application.

According to one embodiment, the SNS server (110) may acquire information about the buyer's personal information and game item auction history stored in the management server in operation 901, and learn an artificial intelligence model for auction bidding based on the information acquired in operation 902. For example, the SNS server (110) may accumulate the user's personal information and game item auction history information acquired through the UIs described above in the "First Embodiments" in a database (115). For example, the personal information may include an amount set by the user to purchase a specific type of item. In addition, for example, the information about the game item auction history may include information about the amount of the purchased game item, game information about the purchased game item (or, game information in which the item is implemented), information about the type of the item, and information about a detailed description of the item. Hereinafter, an example of an operation of generating an artificial intelligence model (1000) based on big data accumulated in the database (115) of the SNS server (110) will be described.

In one embodiment, first, the SNS server (110) may obtain information stored within a specified period from the present among personal information (e.g., amount set by a user to purchase a specific type of item) and information on game item auction history (e.g., information on amount of purchased game items, game information on purchased game items, information on type of items, and information on detailed descriptions of items) stored in a database (115) for learning of an artificial intelligence model (1000), as illustrated in 1001 to 1002 of FIG. 10.

In one embodiment, the SNS server (110) can process the acquired information into a form that can be learned (e.g., assign text information to a specific value that can perform matrix operations and preprocess it), as illustrated in 1002 of FIG. 10.

In one embodiment, the SNS server (110) may generate an artificial intelligence model (1000) using preprocessed personal information (e.g., an amount set by a user to purchase a specific type of item) and information about game item auction history (e.g., information about the amount of a purchased game item, game information about the purchased game item, information about the type of the item, and information about a detailed description of the item) as training data. For example, the server (110) may set an amount set by a user to purchase a specific type of item, game information about the purchased game item, information about the type of the item, and information about a detailed description of the item as input data, and may set information about the amount of the purchased game item (e.g., XX won, YY won, ZZ won) as output data, and may perform learning (e.g., weight learning (1000)) based on various types of artificial intelligence learning algorithms. Since the above artificial intelligence learning algorithm may include various types of well-known machine learning and deep learning algorithms, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. At this time, the artificial intelligence model (1000) generated according to the above learning may be implemented to finally output weights for bidding amounts for purchasing items in response to inputting the user's personal information (e.g., the amount set by the user for purchasing an item) and information on a specific game item currently being purchased (e.g., game information on the game item, item type, and detailed item description). For example, the server (100) may sequentially perform an operation of assigning weights to the purchase amounts of purchased items according to the information, based on obtaining the user's personal information (e.g., the amount set by the user for purchasing an item) and information on a specific game item currently being purchased (e.g., game information on the game item, item type, and detailed item description). As a result, the artificial intelligence model (1000) may include layers including weight values for calculating the input of personal information of the user (e.g., amount set by the user for purchasing an item) and information of a specific game item currently being purchased (e.g., game information about the game item, item type, detailed description of the item), and may be implemented to perform calculations in each of the layers to finally output weights for the amount as output data.

According to one embodiment, the SNS server (110) may receive an auction participation request for a specific game item in operation 903, input personal information and information about a specific game item into the artificial intelligence model in operation 904, and automatically proceed with an auction bid based on the output information. For example, as illustrated in 1101 of FIG. 11, the SNS server (110) may identify that an electronic device (120) of a purchaser of a game item accesses an auction screen for a specific game item. In addition, for example, the SNS server (110) may identify that an electronic device (120) of a purchaser of a game item sets a keyword for a specific game item and that the specific game item is registered. Accordingly, the SNS server (110) may obtain personal information of the user (e.g., amount set for purchasing an item) and information about an auction screen or a game item for which a keyword is registered (e.g., game information, type of item, detailed description of item). The SNS server (110) can preprocess the acquired information and input the preprocessed information (e.g., user's personal information and information on items) (1121) into the artificial intelligence model (1100). As shown in 1102 of FIG. 11, in response to the input of the information, the SNS server (110) can identify information (1122) on weights for each amount output from the artificial intelligence model (1100) and select the highest weight as the amount for bidding (e.g., XX won). The SNS server (110) can automatically participate in the auction (1122) with the determined amount (e.g., XX won) and proceed with the bidding.

According to one embodiment of the application, when a bid is made with a determined amount (e.g., XX won), the SNS server (110) may provide a notification to the user's electronic device (120) and inquire whether to allow automatic auction proceeding. If permission is not completed, the SNS server (110) may automatically participate in the auction once with the determined amount (e.g., XX won) after a specified period of time has elapsed and proceed with the bid. If the bid is renewed with a higher amount and fails, the SNS server (110) may no longer bid. If permission is completed from the user's electronic device (120), the SNS server (110) may automatically participate in the auction with the determined amount (e.g., XX won) and proceed with the bid. At this time, if the price is updated to another highest amount, the SNS server (110) can identify amounts higher than the determined amount (e.g., XX won) among the amounts output from the artificial intelligence model (1000) and automatically continue bidding with the amount with the highest weight among the identified amounts.
