Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method and system for limiting the game time of an online game user. The system can acquire the cumulative online time of all online game accounts of the user and count the time based on this information. The user's game time is then limited based on the counted time. This helps to prevent addiction to online games and promotes healthy gaming habits. The system can also update the information about the user's game time after they log out, further limiting their game time. Overall, this technology helps to protect users from excessive gaming and promotes healthy habits.

Problems solved by technology

Online games bring social problems such as Web addiction while providing a means of entertainment.
Therefore, online games are negatively known as “electronic heroin.” As a side effect of online games, Web addiction troubles the development of the Internet culture industry.
Specifically, the anti-addiction system in the online game server limits the online game time of the user.
For a user with multiple online game accounts, the time limit based on a single online game account is futile.
Therefore, the prior art is unable to limit the game time of an online game user that has multiple online game accounts.
