[0019] FIG. 1 is a flowchart for explaining a method for providing a card game according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining a method for providing a card game according to an embodiment of the present invention in more detail.

[0020] In addition, FIGS. 3 to 7 are drawings for explaining a method of providing a card game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0021] From now on, a method for providing a card game according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7.

[0022] The card game provision method according to the present invention relates to a card game provision method executed by a server that provides a card game to a user terminal, wherein the user can access the card game provision server using each user terminal to receive the card game.

[0023] First, the card game provider server provides the cards to the user terminal to display them (S110).

[0024] More specifically, the card game providing server provides cards configured such that a first object or a second object is displayed at each of a plurality of locations on the card, or that neither of the first object or the second object is displayed, to a plurality of the user terminals to display.

[0025] Referring to FIG. 3, the cards consist of a total of 81 cards, and the one card at the bottom right is not used in the actual game, and the first entity may be composed of a '+' shaped entity, and the second entity may be composed of a '-' shaped entity.

[0026] Subsequently, the card game providing server receives a selection of cards from a plurality of user terminals (S120), and also receives a selection of cards from a first and second group among the cards from a plurality of user terminals (S130).

[0027] Accordingly, the card game providing server determines the combination result of the cards for each of the selected first and second groups (S140).

[0028] That is, a first object or a second object marked at the position of each card for each of the first and second groups is combined to create a first and second combined card, and it is determined whether the created first and second combined card matches. At this time, the card combining unit (131) may combine the first object or the second object according to the color of each object of the cards in the first group, and may form a first combined card that displays the result of the combination according to the color of each object of the card.

[0029] More specifically, referring to FIG. 2, a first combined card is constructed by combining a first entity or a second entity displayed at each card position of the first group of cards and displaying the combined result at each card position, and likewise, a second combined card is constructed by combining a first entity or a second entity displayed at each card position of the second group of cards and displaying the combined result at each card position (S141)

[0030] At this time, when the first entity and the first entity are combined, the second entity is created and displayed, and when the second entity and the second entity are combined, the first entity is created and displayed, and when the first entity and the second entity are combined, the entity is destroyed and not displayed, and when only one of the first entity or the second entity exists at the position of each card for each of the first and second groups, the corresponding entity is displayed.

[0031] For example, when two cards shown in Fig. 4 are combined, a combined card is created as shown in Fig. 5.

[0032] To explain this, objects of the same color located at the same position on each card are combined, and the combined result is displayed at the corresponding same position on the combined card. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when '-' and '-' at the same position on the card are combined, '+' is generated, when '+' and '+' are combined, '-' is generated, and when '-' and '+' are combined, they cancel each other out and disappear, so no object is displayed at that position, and FIG. 5 illustrates the combined result (combined card) in this way.

[0033] Through this method, you can combine multiple cards to form a combined card.

[0034] Afterwards, it is determined whether the first combined card and the second combined card configured in this manner match (S142).

[0035] As a result of the determination, if the first combined card and the second combined card match, a score is assigned to the user of the terminal of the user who selected the cards of the first and second groups (S150).

[0036] Accordingly, the user with the highest assigned score becomes the winner (S160).

[0037] From now on, a specific example of a method for providing a card game will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7.

[0038] First, the user receives the card illustrated in FIG. 3 through the user terminal, and all such cards are mixed and turned over so that the back of the card is displayed.

[0039] The user selects and displays five cards as shown in FIG. 6. At this time, the five cards may be automatically selected and displayed by the card game provider server.

[0040] The user appropriately draws 5 cards marked as such to form two bundles, and combines each bundle to make the same card.

[0041] For example, if you select and combine the left two cards shown in Fig. 6 and select and combine the right three cards, the resulting combined cards (combined cards) match each other, as shown in the card shown in Fig. 7.

[0042] In this way, when 5 cards are selected, the cards of the resulting combination match each other.

[0043] Therefore, the user who achieves the goal earns points and takes all the cards. The card game continues until all cards are gone, and the user who collects the most cards and earns the highest points wins.

[0045] FIG. 8 is a configuration diagram of a card game providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a configuration diagram of a card game providing server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] From now on, the configuration of a card game providing system and a server according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.

[0047] A card game providing server (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention is for providing a card game, and a user can receive a card game by connecting to the card game providing server (100) through a network (200) using each user terminal (101, 102, 103, 104).

[0048] The above user terminals (101, 102, 103, 104) may be fixed terminals implemented as computer devices or mobile terminals. More specifically, the above user terminals (101, 102, 103, 104) include smartphones, mobile phones, computers, laptops, digital broadcasting terminals, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), PMPs (Portable Multimedia Players), tablet PCs, etc. Additionally, the above user terminals (101, 102, 103, 104) may communicate with other user terminals and / or a server (100) through a network (200) using a wireless or wired communication method.

[0049] Additionally, the communication method is not limited and may include not only communication methods utilizing communication networks (e.g., mobile communication networks, wired internet, wireless internet, broadcasting networks) that the network (200) may include, but also short-range wireless communication between devices. For example, the network (200) may include any one or more networks such as a PAN (personal area network), LAN (local area network), CAN (campus area network), MAN (metropolitan area network), WAN (wide area network), BBN (broadband network), and the Internet. Additionally, the network (200) may include any one or more network topologies such as a bus network, a star network, a ring network, a mesh network, a star-bus network, a tree or hierarchical network, but is not limited thereto.

[0050] The above card game providing server (100) is configured to include a card providing unit (110), a card selection processing unit (120), a card combination judgment unit (130), and a score processing unit (140).

[0051] The card providing unit (110) provides and displays cards configured such that a first object or a second object is displayed at each of the multiple locations on the card, or that neither of the first object or the second object is displayed, to a plurality of the user terminals. At this time, the first object may be configured as an object in the shape of a '+', and the second object may be configured as an object in the shape of a '-'.

[0052] Accordingly, the card selection processing unit (120) receives selections of cards from the first and second groups among the cards from a plurality of the above user terminals.

[0053] Accordingly, the card combination judgment unit (130) combines the first object or the second object displayed at the position of each card for each of the first and second groups to create first and second combined cards, and determines whether the first and second combined cards match.

[0054] More specifically, the card combination judgment unit (130) may be configured to include a card combination unit (131) and a card comparison unit (132).

[0055] The card combining unit (131) combines a first entity or a second entity displayed at each card position of the first group of cards and forms a first combined card displaying the combined result at each card position. At this time, the card combining unit (131) may also combine a first entity or a second entity according to the color of each entity of the first group of cards and form a first combined card displaying the combined result according to the color of each entity of the card.

[0056] Additionally, the card combining part (131) combines a first object or a second object displayed at each card position of the second group of cards and forms a second combined card displaying the combined result at each card position.

[0057] When the first entity and the first entity are combined, the second entity is created and displayed, and when the second entity and the second entity are combined, the first entity is created and displayed, and when the first entity and the second entity are combined, the entity is destroyed and not displayed, and when only one of the first entity or the second entity exists at the position of each card for each of the first and second groups, the entity can be displayed.

[0058] Accordingly, the card comparison unit (132) determines whether the first combined card and the second combined card match.

[0059] The score processing unit (140) assigns a score to the user of the terminal of the user who selected the first and second groups of cards when the first and second combined cards match, and selects the user with the highest assigned score as the winner.
