Benefits of technology

[0008] An Embodiment of the invention provides a method for matching the terminal types of clients in online gaming and a gaming platform, thereby enabling matching of a user to a game fitted for his terminal or to other users.

Problems solved by technology

It is not easy for a player having logged onto a gaming platform to choose any games fitted for his terminal by reading many game manuals.
In addition, if a player cannot actively get to know whether or not his terminal type matches the terminal of any other player who exchanges with him virtual items, e.g. photos and props, during playing, he may find that the exchanged items cannot be used due to the mismatching between the two terminal types after exchanging.
Players may fell bored and thus abandon the gaming platform if problems such as those described above are not properly addressed.
