Online Game Pilot Unit Data Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In online games, the independent operation of player characters and units limits gamer convenience and game diversity, making it difficult to recognize connections between objects and maintain interest, as player character growth does not affect unit abilities.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that interoperate pilot and unit information by maintaining databases for pilot and unit abilities, using sync points to proportionally update unit abilities based on pilot ability changes, allowing gamers to control connected objects and enhance game experiences through diversified scenarios.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If player character and unit operate independently, then control flexibility is improved, but connection recognition and gamer interest deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by having the unit's ability information change in response to pilot ability changes. When a pilot's ability information changes, the connected unit's ability information automatically updates, creating a feedback loop that shows the connection between pilot and unit, thereby resolving the issue of gamers not recognizing connections between objects.
2Adaptability or versatility
If pilot and unit grow independently, then individual customization is improved, but gamer convenience and engagement deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the growth systems of the pilot and unit by linking their ability information through connection information. When the pilot grows or changes abilities, the unit automatically reflects these changes, combining what was previously two separate growth paths into one integrated system, thereby providing gamer convenience while maintaining engagement.
3Ease of operation
If pilot and unit are controlled separately, then operational independence is improved, but game scenario diversity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamics by making the unit's ability information change dynamically based on pilot ability changes. The connection information enables the unit to adapt its characteristics in real-time according to the pilot's state, creating diverse game scenarios where the pilot-unit combination evolves together rather than remaining static and independent.

AI summary
Disclosed are an online game providing method including the steps of: maintaining a unit information database recording unit information on at least one unit, in which the unit information includes at least one piece of unit ability information and sync point information; maintaining a pilot information database recording pilot information on at least one pilot, in which the pilot information includes a unit identifier associated with a pilot, at least one piece of pilot ability information and unit ability information associated with the pilot ability information; receiving updating request information on first pilot ability information of a first pilot; searching for unit identifier information associated with the first pilot by referring to the pilot information database; searching for sync point information associated with the searched unit identifier information by referring to the unit information database; and updating and recording first pilot ability information and unit ability information associated therewith in accordance with the searched sync point information, respectively, and a system thereof.
