[0048] Throughout this specification, when a part is referred to as being "connected" to other parts, this includes both "direct connection" and "indirect connection" with other devices in between. Furthermore, when a part is referred to as "comprising" a structural element, unless otherwise stated, it means that other structural elements may also be included, not excluded. It should be understood that the existence or additional possibility of one or more other features, figures, steps, actions, structural elements, components, or combinations thereof is not pre-existing.

[0049] The following embodiments are provided to aid in understanding the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, inventions that perform the same functions and scope as the present invention also fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] Furthermore, the various structures, processes, steps, or methods included in the embodiments of the present invention can be shared to the extent that they do not contradict each other technically.

[0051] Furthermore, in this invention, a portion of the actions or functions described as being performed by a terminal, device, or equipment can be performed by a server connected to the corresponding terminal, device, or equipment. Similarly, a portion of the actions or functions described as being performed by a server can also be performed by a terminal, device, or equipment connected to the corresponding server.

[0052] In particular, the unit used to run the system of the various embodiments of the present invention can be an application or a network server, and the terminal that can be read as a recording medium that records the application or network server can typically include a desktop computer, a laptop computer or other general personal computer, as well as a smartphone, a tablet computer or other mobile terminal.

[0053] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the structure of a user game provisioning system based on a reference region 1 utilizing a local device 200, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, a user game provision system based on a reference region 1 using a local device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a local device 200, set in a specific location, and having a reference region 1; a service server 100, supporting user games that complete the entire game by combining a first game outside the reference region 1 and a second game within the reference region 1; and a user terminal 300, used by a user for at least one of the first game and the second game.

[0055] Figure 2A diagram illustrating the system content 10 and user game 20 based on a reference region 1 using a local device 200 to explain an embodiment of the present invention is provided. (See diagram below.) Figure 2 As shown, in a user game 20 provision system based on a reference region 1 using a local device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention, content 10 consists of multiple tasks. The user's game, which executes each task, can be combined to complete the entire game related to content 10, i.e., user game 20. The user game 20 can execute content 10 consisting of multiple tasks. Furthermore, content 10 can be at least one selected from the group consisting of games, questionnaires, play, quizzes, and learning; one piece of content 10 can consist of multiple tasks.

[0056] On the other hand, the tasks constituting content 10 may include: at least one first task 11, in which the user needs to play the game outside the base area 1; and at least one second task 12, in which the user needs to play the game within the base area 1. For example, as Figure 2 As shown, content 10 can be composed of task a 10a, task b 10b, task c 10c, and task d 10d. Among them, task a 10a and task d 10d, which need to be played outside the base area 1, can be the first task 11, and task b 10b and task c 10c, which need to be played inside the base area 1, can be the second task 12.

[0057] Furthermore, a game refers to an activity involving performing a task. A game performed outside of reference area 1 can be classified as the first game 21, and a game performed within reference area 1 can be classified as the second game 22. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the example, games a 20a and d 20d, which are tasks a 10a and d 10d as the first task 11, can be the first game 21 (executed outside the base area 1), and games b 20d and c 20c, which are tasks b 10b and c 10c as the second task 12, can be the second game 22 (executed within the base area 1). The boundary of the base area 1 can be processed as either the first game 21 or the second game 22, and the processing method can vary depending on the settings of content 10, the base area 1, etc.

[0058] Furthermore, the game can be executed, depending on the type and settings of the content 10 or tasks, by operating the local device 200, operating the user terminal 300, or operating the local device 200 through the user terminal 300. In this case, the first game 21 is executed outside the base area 1, and therefore can be executed by operating the user terminal 300 or by operating the local device 200 through the user terminal 300. The second game 22 can be executed by one of three methods, including directly operating the local device 200.

[0059] Figure 3 This diagram illustrates a user location-based game within a system providing a user game 20 based on a reference region 1 using a local device 200, according to an embodiment of the present invention. X1, X2, and X3 can represent the user location or the location of the user terminal 300. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, if the user is at position X1, they are outside the reference area 1. Therefore, task a 10a, which is part of the first task 11, can be performed through game a 20a. When the user moves into the reference area 1 and is at position X2, tasks b 10b and c 10c, which are part of the second task 12, can be performed through games b 20b and c 20c. After the user moves back to position X3, which is outside the seat reference area 1, task d 10d, which was not played in the first task 11, can be performed through game d 20d.

[0060] For example, a local device 200 is installed in Suwon Hwaseong, and at least a portion of the tourist attractions in Suwon Hwaseong is designated as a base area 1 corresponding to the local device 200. Content 10 for Suwon Hwaseong tourism can be provided to users based on the designated base area 1. Learning tasks providing basic information about Suwon Hwaseong and quiz tasks related to Suwon Hwaseong can be provided as a first task 11 that needs to be performed outside the base area 1. Through this first task 11, users can obtain basic information about the destination and enjoy a perfect trip before visiting Suwon Hwaseong. Furthermore, as a second task 12 that needs to be performed within the base area 1, activities that can be performed within Suwon Hwaseong, such as authentication tasks, augmented reality image tasks, and treasure hunts, can be provided as tasks. Additionally, tasks such as post-visit review tasks can also be provided as part of the first task 11.

[0061] As described above, in a user game 20 provision system based on a reference region 1 utilizing a local device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the user game 20 can be completed by combining at least one first game 21 and at least one second game 22. As long as more than one game is included, both inside and outside the reference region 1, their number, order, etc., can vary widely. Furthermore, according to content 10, tasks a 10a, b 10b, c 10c, and d 10d are executed sequentially, thus the game order may be limited, but the game can also be played regardless of the order.

[0062] The following is for reference Figures 1 to 3 The structure of a user game 20 system based on a reference region 1 using a local device 200, according to an embodiment of the present invention, will be described in detail.

[0063] The service server 100 can support user games 20 that complete the entire game by combining a first game 21 outside the base area 1 and a second game 22 within the base area 1. User games 20 can refer to content 10 consisting of multiple tasks. Furthermore, it can be at least one selected from the group including games, surveys, play, quizzes, and learning, and a piece of content 10 can consist of multiple tasks.

[0064] Service server 100 can manage multiple local devices 200 via the network, and can manage the base area 1 and content 20 of each local device 200. Service server 100 can operate and manage the settings of the base area 1 of each local device 200, the settings of the content 10 and tasks of each local device 200, the games of the tasks, user games 20, etc. In this case, service server 100 can operate multiple contents 10, and each local device 200 can be assigned different content or tasks, or the same content 10 or task can be assigned to multiple local devices 200. (The rest of the text is omitted as it is incomplete.) Figure 4 The detailed structure of the service server 100 is described in detail.

[0065] Local device 200 is set in a specific location and can be configured with a base area 1. Furthermore, each local device 200 can be assigned content 10 and tasks, and users can play games on the content 10 assigned to the corresponding local device 200 both outside and inside the base area 1 of the specific local device 200.

[0066] On the other hand, the local device 200 can be at least one selected from the group consisting of IoT devices, signs, and display panels. More specifically, the IoT device can be an IoT bicycle that transmits detection information such as tire rotation and distance traveled to the service server 100, but it is not limited to this. As long as it can transmit detection information collected by sensors installed using LEDs, IoT seesaws, etc., which operate via IoT sensors, to the service server 100, and allow users to play games on content 10 through the user terminal 300 in the operation reference area 1, it can be an IoT device that functions as the local device 200 of the present invention, regardless of its specific form or structure.

[0067] Furthermore, the sign is an image display device installed in public places or industrial spaces to provide various information and advertisements in real time. It outputs content 10 through the display and interacts with the user. Thus, the user can play games through the sign, and therefore it can function as the local device 200 of the present invention.

[0068] Furthermore, the display panel is a device that outputs information without user interaction, and can output information about content 10 and tasks, game information about content 10 and tasks played on the user terminal 300, game results, etc. In particular, compared with signs, the display panel has the advantages of low installation cost, simple maintenance, and the ability to form simple images, thus being visible from a distance.

[0069] On the other hand, the reference area 1 of the local device 200 can be a region that includes the location of the local device 200 relative to the local device 200, or a region adjacent to the location of the local device 200. That is, the reference area 1 does not necessarily include the local device 200; it can be set to be adjacent to a location within the reference area 1 that is accessible or close to the local device 200 by a user. The region adjacent to the location of the local device 200 can mean that the maximum distance between the location of the local device 200 and the corresponding region is set to be less than a preset distance.

[0070] This local device 200 can be installed in tourist destinations such as Suwon Hwaseong, administrative districts such as Gangnam-gu, commercial areas such as COEX, amusement parks, museums, etc., and can set a base area 1 and perform content 10 for activities within tourist destinations. According to an embodiment, the base area 1 can be a region directly set by the operator of content 10, the manager of local device 200, etc.

[0071] On the other hand, a content 10 and a reference area 1 can be set in a local device 200. According to the embodiment, multiple content 10s and multiple reference areas 1 can be set in a local device 200 respectively.

[0072] User terminal 300 may be an electronic device used by a user for at least one of the first game 21 and the second game 22. The electronic device may include at least one of the following: smartphone, tablet computer (PC), mobile phone, video phone, e-book reader, desktop computer, laptop computer, netbook computer, workstation, server, personal digital assistant (PDA), media box, game console, electronic dictionary, or wearable device. Wearable devices may include at least one of the following: accessory type (e.g., watch, ring, bracelet, anklet, necklace, glasses, contact lens, or head-mounted device), fabric or clothing integrated type (e.g., electronic clothing), body attached type (e.g., skin pad or tattoo), or implantable circuit. In various embodiments, the electronic device is not limited to the aforementioned devices and may be a combination of two or more of the various devices.

[0073] Users access the service server 100 via the network or application through user terminal 300 to confirm the list of ongoing content 10, the location and base area 1 of local device 200, the current status of participating in my content 10, the progress of my content 10, the list of first task 11 and second task 12, and tasks that can be played at the current location. Furthermore, user authentication can also be performed using user terminal 300 when authentication is required on local device 200.

[0074] Figure 4 This diagram illustrates the detailed structure of a service server 100 in a user game 20 provision system based on a reference region 1 using a local device 200, according to an embodiment of the present invention. (See diagram for details.) Figure 4 As shown, a service server 100 of a user game 20 providing system based on a reference region 1 using a local device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a storage unit 110, a location determination unit 120, a first game processing unit 130, a second game processing unit 140 and a game management unit 150, and may also include an information providing unit 160 and a reward providing unit 170.

[0075] The storage unit 110 can store information about the reference area 1 of the local device 200. The storage unit 110 can store device information such as the setting location of the local device 200, the reference area 1 setting information of each local device 200, device ID, status information, etc., and can store and manage the content 10 and task information allocated to each local device 200 together.

[0076] The location determination unit 120 can use the location information of the user terminal 300 to determine whether the location of the user terminal 300 is outside or inside the reference area 1 of the local device 200. The first game processing unit 130 and the second game processing unit 140, which will be described in detail later, can activate either the first task 11 or the second task 12 on the user terminal 300. Based on the determination result of the location determination unit 120, the first task 11 can be played on the user terminal 300 located outside the reference area 1 of the local device 200, and the second task 12 can be played on the user terminal 300 located within the reference area 1 of the local device 200. The user can confirm the activated task and play the game using at least one of the local device 200 and the user terminal 300.

[0077] Figure 5 This diagram illustrates, as an example, a user terminal 300 displaying a task list provided from location X1 in a user game 20 providing system based on a reference region 1 using a local device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. That is, in such... Figure 3 In the example shown, the user terminal 300's position X1 is outside the reference region 1; therefore, tasks a 10a and d 10d, as the first task 11, are activated, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the "Activated Games" directory can be viewed on user terminal 300. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and unrelated to the preceding text.) Figure 5 In the displayed screen, users can select "View Game Instructions" to confirm the descriptions or gameplay instructions for each task, and then use the "PLAY" button to directly start playing the corresponding task. However, once the task execution order is determined, only the currently executable task can be activated on the user terminal 300.

[0078] Figure 6 This diagram illustrates, as an example, a user terminal 300 displaying a task list provided from location X2 in a user game 20 providing system based on a reference region 1 using a local device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. That is, in such... Figure 3 In the example shown, the position X2 of user terminal 300 is within reference region 1. Therefore, tasks b 10b and c 10c, as the second task 12, are activated. In user terminal 300, as... Figure 6 As shown, you can confirm the "Activated Games" directory.

[0079] The first game processing unit 130 can provide a first task 11 to a user terminal 300 outside the base area 1, and receive and process first game 21 information as execution information for the user of the first task 11. That is, in the case of... Figure 5 In the screen shown, if the user selects "PLAY" and starts the first game 21, the first game 21 information can be transmitted to the first game processing unit 130.

[0080] In this scenario, the first game 21 is executed outside the reference area 1, therefore, the user can operate the user terminal 300 to execute it. In this case, the first game processing unit 130 can receive information about the first game 21 from the user terminal 300 and reflect it in the first task 11. For example, for the Suwon Hwaseong quiz task, the user can answer the Suwon Hwaseong-related quiz through the user terminal 300 as the first game 21. The first game processing unit 130 receives the information about the first game 21 from the user terminal 300 to confirm the correct answer and process it.

[0081] The second game processing unit 140 can provide a second task 12 to at least one of the user terminal 300 and the local device 200 within the base area 1, and receive and process second game 22 information as execution information of the user of the second task 12. That is, in the case of... Figure 6 In the screen shown, if the user selects "PLAY" and starts the second game 22, the second game 22 information can be transmitted to the second game processing unit 140.

[0082] The second game 22 is executed within the base area 1. Therefore, in addition to being executed by the user operating the user terminal 300, the second game 22 can also be executed through interaction with the local device 200. Interaction with the local device 200 may include the user directly operating the local device 200 and operating the local device 200 through the user terminal 300.

[0083] For example, a user can directly operate the local device 200 to play a game based on the various forms of the local device 200, such as touching the signage screen or riding an IoT bicycle. In this case, the second game processing unit 140 receives and processes the user's second game 22 information processed in the local device 200, thereby reflecting the completion of the task. In this case, the second game 22 can vary depending on the content 10 or the type of task. For example, if the task is a sandcastle building game, the user can play the game by operating the touchpad on the signage screen to build sandcastles; if the task is riding a bicycle, the user can transmit the distance traveled by the user riding the IoT bicycle, measured by sensors, to the service server 100. According to an embodiment, the user can also operate the user terminal 300 to control the local device 200 and play the user game 20. In this case, the service server 100 can receive and process the user game 20 information from at least one of the local device 200 and the user terminal 300.

[0084] The game management unit 150 can manage the entire game of content 10 by integrating the processing results of the first game processing unit 130 and the second game processing unit 140. That is, the game management unit 150 completes the user game 20 of the entire content 10 through individual games, and can comprehensively manage the user game 20 for each content 10 and each user. Furthermore, the game management unit 150 systematically and comprehensively manages various data related to content 10 and user game 20, and links with the information provision unit 160, which is described in detail below, to provide information under management according to user requests.

[0085] The information providing unit 160 can provide the user terminal 300 with information about the tasks constituting the content 10, including information about the game area for each task. In this case, the game area information for each task may include information such as whether the game area is outside or inside the base area 1, and the location of the local device 200 set to the corresponding base area 1. Furthermore, the information providing unit 160 can link with a mobile map and display the base area 1 or the location of the local device 200 on the map.

[0086] Furthermore, the information providing unit 160 can share the content 10 and task results managed in the game management unit 150 with the user terminal 300. More specifically, the information providing unit 160 organizes the information managed in the game management unit 150 into at least one of each local device 200, each content 10, and each user, according to user requests, and provides it accordingly. According to an embodiment, statistical information such as the number of users playing the game on the content 10 or the number of times they participate, rankings, and rewards paid through the content 10 can also be provided.

[0087] Figure 7This diagram illustrates, as an example, a user terminal 300 that provides game results for a user game 20 based on a reference region 1 using a local device 200, according to an embodiment of the present invention. (See diagram below.) Figure 7 As shown, in a user game 20 provision system based on a reference area 1 utilizing a local device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the information provision unit 160 can provide the user terminal 300 with the content 10 or task results based on the user game and the location of the local device 200, etc. That is, in tasks a 10a, b 10b, c 10c, and d 10d constituting the content 10, the user plays the game. Tasks a 10a and b 10b, which reflect game information, display badges or stamps such as "success" to confirm the result. Buttons with linked maps can be provided to tasks c 10c and d 10d that have not yet been played, so that the game area can be confirmed on the map. When the corresponding button is selected, it is linked to the moving map to display the area within the reference area 1 (in the case of task c 10c) or outside the reference area 1 (in the case of task d 10d) on the map.

[0088] The rewards provision department 170 can provide rewards to users based on the overall game results of content 10 managed in the game management department 150. The rewards provided can be various types such as vouchers, points, and prizes.

[0089] As described above, according to the user game 20 provision system based on a reference area 1 using a local device 200 proposed in this invention, the user game 20 can be completed by combining a first game 21 outside the reference area 1 and a second game 22 inside the reference area 1 of the local device 200. Thus, the user can enjoy the game through multiple games inside and outside the reference area 1. It must include games outside the reference area 1. The first game 21 is played before or after visiting the reference area 1 to increase interest in offline venues corresponding to the reference area 1. It must also include games inside the reference area 1 so that users can visit the reference area 1 to promote offline interaction and communication, which helps to activate the area or tourist destination to which the reference area 1 belongs.
