Abstract

This invention is to provide a method established between a server and at least one mobile telephone through a network, wherein the said mobile telephone(s) consists of a unit having an installed network communications device and game software such that after the said server receives the game data transferred from each said mobile telephone, the processing of the said game data is executed to generate updated data. The said server then transfers the said updated data to each said mobile telephone such that the central processing unit thereof utilizes the said game software to commensurately execute the processing of the said updated files and display a new game operating menu on the screens thereof, thereby enabling the said mobile telephones to execute game play on wireless networks.

Claims

1. A method enabling mobile telephone game playing capability on wireless networks, the said method is to establish a configuration between a remote terminal of a server and at least one mobile telephone through a network, wherein the said mobile telephone(s) consists of a unit having an installed network communications device and game software enabling the connection of the said mobile telephone(s) to the said server via the said network communications device such that after the said server and the said mobile telephone(s) are connected together, execution occurs according to the following procedures:

first, the said server receiving program data inputted by the said mobile telephone(s), following which the said game data is processed to generate updated data;

the said server then transferring the said updated data to each said mobile telephone;

a central processing unit of each said mobile telephone then utilizing the said game software to execute a commensurate processing of the said updated data;

each said mobile telephone displaying a new game operating menu on a screen thereof.

2. A method enabling mobile telephone game playing capability on wireless networks as claimed in claim 1, in which after the said central processing unit of the said mobile telephone(s) receives operating commands entered by an inputting component on the said mobile telephone(s), the said central processing unit reads the said game software according to the said operating commands, displays the said game operating menu of the said game software on the said screen of the said mobile telephone(s), and then executes the said commensurate processing of the said game software according to the said game commands to generate game data after receiving the said game commands entered by the said inputting components.

3. A method enabling mobile telephone game playing capability on wireless networks as claimed in claim 1, in which a plurality of game progress archival files for the said game software are stored in the said server, the said game progress archival files retaining the progress content of each said mobile telephone before game conclusion such that when the said mobile telephones restart the said game, game data is inputted by the said mobile telephones into the said server, following which the said game progress archival files along with current updated data of the said server are first read, the commensurate processing is then executed, after which updated data is generated.

4. A method enabling mobile telephone game playing capability on wireless networks as claimed in claim 3, in which the said server automatically saves game progress content in the said game progress archival files of each said mobile telephone at preset intervals of time.

5. A method enabling mobile telephone game playing capability on wireless networks as claimed in claim 1, in which the said updated data includes the real-time transfer of data, enabling the said central processing unit in each said mobile telephone to utilize the said game software to execute the said commensurate processing of the said updated data, following which the exchanged data is displayed in the said new game operating menu on the said screens of the said mobile telephones.

6. A method enabling mobile telephone game playing capability on wireless networks as claimed in claim 1, in which each said mobile telephone has a short message service system, enabling each said mobile telephone to utilize the said short message service system in the said mobile telephones during game execution to convey data in abbreviated transfers to the said mobile telephones that are not linked to the said network.
