Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine games, and particularly to a method, system, server and game device for assisting traditional Chinese medicine games. Background Art

[0002] A traditional Chinese medicine game machine guides each execution period in coordination with the names, properties, channels tropism, efficacy and picture data of traditional Chinese medicines in each execution period for performing the user's game-playing behavior, and evaluates the period of the game-playing behavior actually performed by the user.

[0003] This solution aims to provide a game device that can effectively utilize each traditional Chinese medicine prepared in the distribution service of traditional Chinese medicine provided only for members for playing games, and enable children to initially recognize traditional Chinese medicine through games. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method, system, server and game device for assisting traditional Chinese medicine games to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for assisting traditional Chinese medicine games includes the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: The user terminal device requests the game distribution system to provide a traditional Chinese medicine pairing game service.

[0007] Step 2: When the game distribution system obtains the request from the user terminal device, it accesses the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system to perform member authentication for using the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service, where the member information for member authentication includes a member ID and an account input password.

[0008] Step 3: When the member authentication is successful, it requests the distribution of the traditional Chinese medicine as the object.

[0009] Step 4: When the game distribution system obtains the request for distributing traditional Chinese medicine, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system generates access information for distributing the traditional Chinese medicine as the object and sends it to the game distribution system.

[0010] Among them, it includes: when the game distribution system requests to play games using the traditional Chinese medicine distributed through the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service from the user terminal device, the game distribution system starts the authentication implementation process.

[0011] When the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system requests member authentication for using the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system starts the authentication implementation process.

[0012] Step 5: When access information is obtained from the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system, the game distribution system determines the name, nature, flavor, meridian tropism, efficacy, and picture data of the traditional Chinese medicine that is the object, and sends the determined name, nature, flavor, meridian tropism, efficacy, picture data, and access information of the traditional Chinese medicine to the user terminal device;

[0013] Step 6: The user terminal device requests the distribution of the traditional Chinese medicine that is the object at the dedicated address, and the dedicated address is the URL;

[0014] Step 7: When the user terminal device requests the distribution of the traditional Chinese medicine that is the object by accessing the dedicated address, the game traditional Chinese medicine distribution process is started, and the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system sends the traditional Chinese medicine data for playing the traditional Chinese medicine to the user terminal device.

[0015] Furthermore, the method of member authentication in Step 2 is as follows:

[0016] S101: Provide the opportunity to select traditional Chinese medicine in such a way that each traditional Chinese medicine of the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service is included in the selection candidates. Among them, the opportunity to select traditional Chinese medicine includes the way of taking multiple traditional Chinese medicines of the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service, which is provided separately from the game and is limited to the user terminal device that has passed the member authentication using each member's unique member ID, as candidates for options;

[0017] S102: The user terminal device requests the use of the traditional Chinese medicine selected in the opportunity to select traditional Chinese medicine from the game distribution system, and this request is executed in a way that includes the information of the traditional Chinese medicine that is the request object and the member information input by the player;

[0018] S103: When the user terminal device receives the result of member authentication sent from the game distribution system, it obtains the result and determines whether the authentication result is successful. In the case where the result of member authentication is incorrect, the user terminal device shows the result and requests the player to re-enter the member information;

[0019] S104: In the case where the result of member authentication is successful, the user terminal device displays the standby screen on the monitor.

[0020] Furthermore, in Step 2, when the member authentication fails, the game distribution system notifies the user terminal device of the error and requests the correct member authentication information until the member authentication is successful or the use of the traditional Chinese medicine in the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service is cancelled.

[0021] Furthermore, in Step 4, the steps for the game distribution system to start the authentication implementation process are as follows:

[0022] S201: Obtain any one or more authentication requests of the selection result, the information of the traditional Chinese medicine, and the member information input by the player in the opportunity to select traditional Chinese medicine;

[0023] S202. The game distribution system requests member authentication for using the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service from the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system;

[0024] S203. When the game distribution system receives the result of member authentication sent from the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system, it obtains the result of this authentication. Then, the game distribution system determines whether the result of this authentication is successful. If the result of this authentication is incorrect, the game distribution system sends the incorrect result to the user terminal device and skips the subsequent processing to end the current authentication implementation process;

[0025] S204. When the result of member authentication is successful, the game distribution system determines the name, nature and flavor, meridian tropism, efficacy, and picture data of the traditional Chinese medicine as the request object. Then, the game distribution system sends the result of member authentication to the user terminal device.

[0026] Furthermore, in step four, the steps for the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system to start the authentication implementation process are as follows:

[0027] S301. Obtain a member authentication request;

[0028] S302. The traditional Chinese medicine distribution system performs member authentication for the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service based on the member information included in the obtained request, and determines whether the authentication is successful. If the member authentication is incorrect, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system sends the incorrect result to the game distribution system and ends the current authentication implementation process. If the member authentication is successful, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system determines the traditional Chinese medicine to be distributed based on the request obtained in step S301;

[0029] S303. The traditional Chinese medicine distribution system generates address information for distributing the traditional Chinese medicine data corresponding to the determined traditional Chinese medicine;

[0030] S304. The traditional Chinese medicine distribution system sends the address information generated in step S303, which is the information of the dedicated URL address for streaming distribution of the traditional Chinese medicine data as the object, to the game distribution system and ends the current authentication implementation process.

[0031] Furthermore, the specific steps of the game traditional Chinese medicine distribution process in step seven are as follows:

[0032] S401. Obtain a game traditional Chinese medicine distribution request;

[0033] S402. The traditional Chinese medicine distribution system determines the traditional Chinese medicine to be distributed based on this request and distributes the traditional Chinese medicine data corresponding to this traditional Chinese medicine. After this distribution, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system ends the current game traditional Chinese medicine distribution process.

[0034] Furthermore, the specific steps of the game traditional Chinese medicine distribution process in step seven are as follows:

[0035] S4011. Obtain the traditional Chinese medicine distribution request in the game;

[0036] S4012. In response to the request, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system sends a list of traditional Chinese medicines that can be distributed in the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service to the user terminal device. The list can include any one of a playlist, an intention list, and a selection list.

[0037] A traditional Chinese medicine game system includes:

[0038] A server device connected to the user terminal device via a network, wherein the server device functions as a server for traditional Chinese medicine names, properties, channels of entry, effects, and picture data;

[0039] The server device is connected to the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system via a network. The traditional Chinese medicine distribution system is configured as a system different from the server device and includes a traditional Chinese medicine distribution server. The traditional Chinese medicine distribution server stores a plurality of traditional Chinese medicine data to provide traditional Chinese medicine distribution services to each member. Either the server device or the traditional Chinese medicine distribution server functions as the traditional Chinese medicine data server;

[0040] When the traditional Chinese medicine distribution server functions as the traditional Chinese medicine data server, the traditional Chinese medicine acquisition unit acquires the traditional Chinese medicine data for playing the game after performing member authentication by sending information including the member ID as the authentication information from the authentication information provided by the user to the traditional Chinese medicine distribution server;

[0041] An ID acquisition unit and an authentication providing unit are provided in the server device. The ID acquisition unit acquires, via the user terminal device, the authentication information provided by the user in which the information including the member ID is used as the authentication information for the member authentication. The authentication providing unit provides the authentication information to the traditional Chinese medicine distribution server for member authentication. The traditional Chinese medicine acquisition unit acquires the traditional Chinese medicine data for playing the game after the member authentication based on the authentication information;

[0042] The game determines each user based on user identification information separately assigned from the member ID as the information for identifying each user and conducts the game. A data generation unit is provided in the server device. When the user provides the user identification information and the authentication information, the data generation unit generates authentication information data that associates the user identification information with the authentication information. The ID acquisition unit acquires the user's user identification information instead of acquiring the authentication information, so as to acquire the authentication information based on the authentication information data after the generation of the authentication information data;

[0043] A membership authentication unit is provided in the server device. Based on a special membership ID given to the server device as a membership ID for the server device to function as a member of the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system, the membership authentication unit performs the membership authentication in the traditional Chinese medicine distribution server. After the membership authentication based on the special membership ID, the traditional Chinese medicine acquisition unit acquires the traditional Chinese medicine data for playing games;

[0044] A result acquisition unit and a data acquisition unit are provided in the server device. When the server device functions as the traditional Chinese medicine data server, the result acquisition unit acquires the selection result in the traditional Chinese medicine selection opportunity via the user terminal device. Based on the selection result in the traditional Chinese medicine selection opportunity, after the membership authentication, the data acquisition unit acquires the traditional Chinese medicine data for playing games from the traditional Chinese medicine distribution server;

[0045] An information providing unit is provided in the server device. When the traditional Chinese medicine distribution server functions as the traditional Chinese medicine data server, after the membership authentication, the information providing unit provides the access information for accessing the traditional Chinese medicine data server to the user terminal device. Based on the access information, the traditional Chinese medicine acquisition unit accesses the traditional Chinese medicine data server to acquire the traditional Chinese medicine data for playing games;

[0046] A list acquisition unit is provided in the game machine. When a selection list that is at least one of a playlist and an intention list is prepared in the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system, the list acquisition unit acquires the selection list via the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system so that each traditional Chinese medicine included in the selection list is included in the candidates of the options in the traditional Chinese medicine selection opportunity. The playlist is used to record each traditional Chinese medicine selected by each member from a plurality of traditional Chinese medicines, and the intention list is used to record each traditional Chinese medicine selected according to the distribution performance of each member and based on the intention of each member.

[0047] A traditional Chinese medicine game server includes the above-mentioned traditional Chinese medicine game system.

[0048] A traditional Chinese medicine game device is loaded with the above-mentioned traditional Chinese medicine game system.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0050] The present invention provides a game device that can effectively utilize various traditional Chinese medicines prepared in a traditional Chinese medicine distribution service provided only for members for playing games.

Additionally, the game device obtains the names, natures, flavors, meridian tropisms, efficacy, and picture data of the traditional Chinese medicines for playing games corresponding to the traditional Chinese medicines for playing games from a game distribution system connected via a network. Moreover, the game device obtains traditional Chinese medicine data corresponding to the traditional Chinese medicines for playing games from a traditional Chinese medicine distribution system connected via a network, so as to provide a traditional Chinese medicine pairing game based on the combination of this traditional Chinese medicine data with the names, natures, flavors, meridian tropisms, efficacy, and picture data of the traditional Chinese medicines for playing games. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0051] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of the authentication implementation process for the game distribution system of the present invention;

[0052] Figure 2 It is a flowchart of the authentication implementation process for the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0053] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0054] The present invention provides a technical solution: a method for assisting traditional Chinese medicine games, including the following steps:

[0055] Step 1: The user terminal device requests the game distribution system to provide a traditional Chinese medicine pairing game service. Here, the user terminal device is a computer device that can be connected to the network and is for personal use by the user. For example, as such a user terminal device, a mobile terminal device such as a portable phone (including a smart phone), a portable tablet terminal device, or a fixed or notebook personal computer is used. The user terminal device provides various services such as games along with the execution of software (application programs). In addition, various computer devices that can be connected to the network and are for personal use by the user, such as a fixed home game console, a portable game console, and a portable tablet terminal device, can also be used as the user terminal device.

[0056] This request can be appropriately implemented. For example, it can also include a request for information on each traditional Chinese medicine distributed through a traditional Chinese medicine distribution service. However, as an example, information on each traditional Chinese medicine distributed through the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service is provided in advance by the game distribution system. This request is executed when a traditional Chinese medicine selected from the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service is used as the traditional Chinese medicine for playing the game. Additionally, when member information of each player is utilized in member authentication, the request also includes an input of information on this member authentication. In this case, member information for member authentication such as a member ID or password is included in the request.

[0057] Step 2: When the game distribution system obtains a request from the user terminal device, it accesses the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system to perform member authentication for using the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service. Among them, the member information for member authentication includes a member ID and an account input password.

[0058] Among them, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system is responsible for the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service, and the game distribution system is responsible for various services associated with the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game. However, since the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game service is associated with both the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service and the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game, an appropriate part of the execution of the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game service is shared by both the game distribution system and the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system. Additionally, the game distribution system and the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system can be constructed and operated by the same operator, or can be constructed and operated by different operators. Therefore, regarding the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game service and the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service, one party can also function as a part of the other party. However, as an example, they are provided as independent services. That is to say, the game distribution system and the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system are operated by different operators, and the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service is provided separately from the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game provided by the user terminal device as an independent service.

[0059] The traditional Chinese medicine distribution system can also provide the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service to an unlimited number of mobile terminal devices (or their users) corresponding to the requests of each user. However, as an example, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service is provided to the user who has completed member registration (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a member). Therefore, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service also includes various services for member registration.

[0060] The traditional Chinese medicine distribution system can require members to register (set) various information during member registration as member information required for the management of each member. Such member information includes, for example, member ID and password. The member ID is a unique ID for each member used to identify each member, and the password is information used to authenticate each member. The member ID and password can be set appropriately or both can be issued by the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system. However, as an example, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system issues the member ID and each user sets the password. Moreover, after member registration, after passing the member authentication using these member ID and password, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service is provided to each member (or, the user terminal device used by each member).

[0061] The traditional Chinese medicine distribution service can appropriately have various functions. As an example, it has a listing function of selecting a part of a large number of traditional Chinese medicines prepared in the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service and listing them. In addition, in the listing function, various lists can be appropriately generated. As an example, at least one of a playlist and an intention list is generated. The playlist is a list generated by each member selecting their favorite traditional Chinese medicines, etc. from the group of traditional Chinese medicines to be distributed. The intention list is a list selected and generated by the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service based on the usage records (distribution records) of each member and the intentions of each member. In the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service, these lists are effectively utilized by each member.

[0062] Both the game distribution system and the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system are appropriately implemented using each server unit. Specifically, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system includes, for example, a server unit for traditional Chinese medicine distribution and a database for traditional Chinese medicine distribution. The database for traditional Chinese medicine distribution is a server unit for recording various data related to the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service. Such data includes multiple traditional Chinese medicine data for respectively playing multiple traditional Chinese medicines. The server unit for traditional Chinese medicine distribution is a server unit that utilizes the database for traditional Chinese medicine distribution and executes various processes for providing the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service to the mobile terminal device. Such processes include, for example, processes for implementing member registration, performing member authentication, or distributing traditional Chinese medicines (traditional Chinese medicine data).

[0063] The game distribution system includes, for example, a server unit for game distribution and a game distribution database. The game distribution database is a server unit for recording various data related to the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game. The server unit for game distribution is a server unit that utilizes the game distribution database and executes various processes for providing various services related to the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game to the user terminal device, etc. The game distribution system utilizes such a server unit for game distribution and the game distribution database and provides, for example, the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game service.

[0064] In addition, a control unit and a storage unit can be provided in the game distribution system. The storage unit is composed of a storage unit including a non-volatile storage medium such as a hard disk array (a computer-readable storage medium). Programs (computer programs) and system data that the control unit should refer to are stored in the storage unit.

[0065] Among them, the system data can appropriately include various data required to provide the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game service. The traditional Chinese medicine name, nature and flavor, meridian tropism, efficacy, and picture data are data that describe the execution periods of appropriate gaming behaviors to be performed in the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game. The traditional Chinese medicine name, nature and flavor, meridian tropism, efficacy, and picture data are used for the guidance of each execution period and the evaluation of each gaming behavior. In the case where not only each traditional Chinese medicine of the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service but also various other traditional Chinese medicines can be played for the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game, the system data includes the traditional Chinese medicine name, nature and flavor, meridian tropism, efficacy, and picture data corresponding to these various traditional Chinese medicines. The authentication data is data for managing the member information required for member authentication in the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service. In addition, the system data can, for example, appropriately include various data such as traditional Chinese medicine data in addition to this.

[0066] Specifically, when using the member information of each player for member authentication, the game distribution system implements member authentication based on the member information included in the request. On the other hand, when using the member information of the game distribution system for member authentication, the game distribution system uses member information such as its own member ID and password to implement member authentication.

[0067] Specifically, the method of member authentication is as follows:

[0068] S101. Provide an opportunity to select traditional Chinese medicine in such a way that each traditional Chinese medicine of the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service is included in the selection candidates. Among them, the opportunity to select traditional Chinese medicine includes the way of distributing multiple traditional Chinese medicines of the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service, which is provided separately from the game and is limited to the user terminal device that has passed the member authentication using each member's unique member ID, as candidates for selection;

[0069] S102. The user terminal device requests the use of the traditional Chinese medicine selected in the opportunity to select traditional Chinese medicine from the game distribution system. This request is executed in such a way that it includes the information of the traditional Chinese medicine as the request object and the member information input by the player. In addition, it can also be that the user ID is managed in association with the member information. When the current player's use of the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game service conforms to the second time and later, the user terminal device requests the input of the user ID instead of the member information. In this case, the information of the user ID is included in the request instead of the member information.

[0070] S103. When the user terminal device receives the result of membership authentication sent from the game distribution system, it obtains the result and determines whether the authentication result is successful. If the membership authentication result is incorrect, the user terminal device presents the result and requests the player to re-enter the membership information. Then, when the player re-enters the membership authentication information, the user terminal device returns to step S101 and executes the subsequent processing again. In addition, it can be that after the membership authentication fails, the game distribution system notifies the user terminal device of the error and requests the correct membership authentication information until the membership authentication is successful or the use of traditional Chinese medicine in the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service is cancelled.

[0071] S104. If the membership authentication result is successful, the user terminal device displays a standby screen on the monitor. The standby screen is a game screen for waiting to start playing the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game (guiding each execution period). The standby screen can be implemented appropriately. For example, it can be a screen that only implements a countdown before the start, or a screen that requests a touch operation for starting. As an example, it is implemented as a screen that only notifies the standby state. However, the standby screen can appropriately include various images (including moving images), etc. Then, after this display, the user terminal device ends the current authentication implementation process.

[0072] Step 3: When the membership authentication is successful, request the distribution of the traditional Chinese medicine as the object.

[0073] Step 4: When the game distribution system receives a request for the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system generates access information for distributing the traditional Chinese medicine as the object and sends it to the game distribution system. As the access information, any appropriate information can be used as long as it can implement the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine. For example, information using a dedicated URL for distributing the traditional Chinese medicine as the object (constructed as the address of a place dedicated to the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system) can be used;

[0074] Among them, it includes: when the game distribution system is requested by the user terminal device to play a game using the traditional Chinese medicine distributed through the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service, the game distribution system starts the authentication implementation process;

[0075] As Figure 1 shown, the steps for the game distribution system to start the authentication implementation process are:

[0076] S201. Obtain any one or more authentication requests of the selection result in the traditional Chinese medicine selection opportunity, the information of the traditional Chinese medicine, and the membership information input by the player;

[0077] S202. The game distribution system requests member authentication for using the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service from the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system. In addition, when the information of the user ID is included in the request instead of the member information, the game distribution system first refers to the authentication data to determine the member authentication information corresponding to the user ID. Then, based on the determined member information, a request for authentication is executed. In this example, the user ID functions as the user identification information of the present invention. In addition, the authentication data described in a manner that associates the user ID with the member information functions as the authentication information data of the present invention.

[0078] S203. When the game distribution system receives the result of member authentication sent from the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system, it obtains the result of this authentication. Then, the game distribution system determines whether the result of this authentication is successful. If the result of this authentication is incorrect, the game distribution system sends the incorrect result to the user terminal device and skips the subsequent processing to end the current authentication implementation process;

[0079] S204. If the result of member authentication is successful, the game distribution system determines the name, nature and flavor, meridian tropism, efficacy, and picture data of the traditional Chinese medicine as the request object. Then, the game distribution system sends the result of member authentication to the user terminal device.

[0080] When the game distribution system requests member authentication for using the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system starts the authentication implementation process;

[0081] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the steps for the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system to start the authentication implementation process are:

[0082] S301. Obtain the member authentication request;

[0083] S302. The traditional Chinese medicine distribution system performs member authentication for the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service based on the member information included in the obtained request, and determines whether the authentication is successful. If the member authentication is incorrect, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system sends the incorrect result to the game distribution system and ends the current authentication implementation process. If the member authentication is successful, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system determines the traditional Chinese medicine to be distributed based on the request obtained in step S301;

[0084] S303. The traditional Chinese medicine distribution system generates address information for distributing the traditional Chinese medicine data corresponding to the determined traditional Chinese medicine. The distribution of the traditional Chinese medicine data can be appropriately implemented. As an example, it is implemented through streaming distribution. In addition, as an example of the address information, a dedicated URL address for streaming the traditional Chinese medicine data corresponding to the traditional Chinese medicine as the object is used. That is, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system sets a dedicated URL address for streaming the traditional Chinese medicine data in this step, and thus generates this URL address as the address information.

[0085] S304. The Chinese medicine distribution system sends the address information generated in step S303 to the game distribution system as information of a dedicated URL address for streaming the Chinese medicine data as an object, and ends the current authentication implementation process.

[0086] Step Five: When the game distribution system obtains access information from the Chinese medicine distribution system, it determines the name, nature and flavor, meridian tropism, efficacy, and picture data of the Chinese medicine as an object, and sends the determined name, nature and flavor, meridian tropism, efficacy, picture data, and access information of the Chinese medicine to the user terminal device.

[0087] Step Six: The user terminal device requests the distribution of the Chinese medicine as an object at the dedicated address, and the dedicated address is the URL.

[0088] Step Seven: When the user terminal device requests the distribution of the Chinese medicine as an object by accessing the dedicated address, the game Chinese medicine distribution process is started, and the Chinese medicine distribution system sends the Chinese medicine data for playing the Chinese medicine to the user terminal device.

[0089] In an embodiment of this solution, the specific steps of the game Chinese medicine distribution process in step seven are as follows:

[0090] S401. Obtain a game Chinese medicine distribution request.

[0091] S402. The Chinese medicine distribution system determines the Chinese medicine to be distributed based on this request, distributes the Chinese medicine data corresponding to this Chinese medicine, and after this distribution, the Chinese medicine distribution system ends the current game Chinese medicine distribution process.

[0092] In another embodiment of this solution, the specific steps of the game Chinese medicine distribution process in step seven are as follows:

[0093] S4011. Obtain a game Chinese medicine distribution request.

[0094] S4012. The Chinese medicine distribution system sends a list of Chinese medicines that can be distributed in the Chinese medicine distribution service to the user terminal device in response to this request, and the list can include any one of a playlist, an intention list, and a selection list.

[0095] In this solution, through the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game service, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service provided to members who have passed the membership authentication (or the user terminal device used by the member) is effectively used as the traditional Chinese medicine for playing the game in the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game. Specifically, the user terminal device provides an opportunity to select traditional Chinese medicine from a large number of traditional Chinese medicines prepared in the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service included in the options as an opportunity to select the traditional Chinese medicine for playing the game when playing the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game. In addition, when the traditional Chinese medicine of the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service is selected as the traditional Chinese medicine for playing the game in this opportunity to select traditional Chinese medicine, the traditional Chinese medicine name, nature and flavor, meridian tropism, efficacy, picture data, and traditional Chinese medicine data corresponding to the traditional Chinese medicine for playing the game are obtained from the game distribution system or the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system. More specifically, the user terminal device obtains the traditional Chinese medicine name, nature and flavor, meridian tropism, efficacy, and picture data from the game distribution system and the traditional Chinese medicine data from the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system. Then, the traditional Chinese medicine name, nature and flavor, meridian tropism, efficacy, picture data, and traditional Chinese medicine data obtained from them are used for the display of the playback or guidance screen of the traditional Chinese medicine, etc., so as to perform the guidance at each execution stage in accordance with the traditional Chinese medicine for playing the game according to the combination of these data in the user terminal device. Thus, each traditional Chinese medicine prepared in the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service provided to the member can be effectively utilized for playing the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game limited to the member.

[0096] On the other hand, the game distribution system and the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system play the role of storing the traditional Chinese medicine name, nature and flavor, meridian tropism, efficacy, picture data, or traditional Chinese medicine data and distributing them via the network, thereby being able to assist in realizing the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game service in the user terminal device. In addition, when the operators of the game distribution system and the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system are different, the traditional Chinese medicine distribution service provided by the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system constructed as different systems by different operators can be effectively utilized for the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game of the user terminal device via the game distribution system. In this case, regarding the authorization that should be required when using traditional Chinese medicine, the operator of the user terminal device or the game distribution system (which is often the same) can entrust the operator of the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system to conduct individual negotiations for traditional Chinese medicine and conduct overall negotiations related to the utilization of each traditional Chinese medicine with the operator of the traditional Chinese medicine distribution system. Thus, compared with the case of conducting individual negotiations, it is possible to reduce the time and effort when a large number of traditional Chinese medicines are used for playing the traditional Chinese medicine pairing game.
