Abstract

A method for a tournament-type on-line game by batch processing includes generating an independent game turn determining both participants in each match of the game, to every participant; providing match information, which includes the game turn information, victory criterion information determined in association with the game turn information and allowing the participant to win in each match until stage K, and an input circumstance for inputting variable information, to a client of the participant; receiving variable information from the client through the provided match information; and operating all of the received variable information by batch processing to determine winners until stage K, wherein an operation result of the variable information received from both clients of each match is compared with the victory criterion information so that the participant having the victory criterion information identical to the operation result is determined as a winner of each match.

Claims

1. A system for a tournament-type on-line game by batch processing, comprising:

an information providing unit (120) for transmitting participation condition information of the number of participants in a one-on-one tournament-type game or the period of the game to a client (200);

a participation request unit (130) for receiving participation request information of the game from the client (200);

a game turn generating unit (140) for generating an independent game turn, which determines both participants in each match of the game, to every participant whose participation request is received, after the participation request is completely received;

a match information processing unit (150) for providing match information, which includes the game turn information given to the participant, victory criterion information determined in association with the game turn information and allowing the participant to win in each match until stage K of the tournament-type game (where K is a natural number not less than

     2), and an input circumstance for the input of variable information for winning each match, to a client of the participant;

a variable input unit (160) for receiving variable information from the client of the participant through the input circumstance of the provided match information; and

a victory/defeat calculating unit (170) for operating all of the received variable information by batch processing to determine winners until stage K, wherein it is determined whether an operation result of the variable information received from both clients of each match is identical to the victory criterion information so that the participant having the victory criterion information identical to the operation result is determined as a winner of each match.

2. The system for a tournament-type on-line game by batch processing according to claim 1, wherein the participation condition information is set so that the number of participants in the tournament-type game corresponds to 2 to the n^th power (n is a natural number not less than 1).

3. The system for a tournament-type on-line game by batch processing according to claim 1,

wherein the victory criterion information is an odd number given to one of both participants in the match and an even number given to the other participant in the match, and

wherein the variable information is an odd number or an even number, and the victory/defeat calculating unit (170) operates to obtain a sum or difference of the variable information input by both participants.

4. The system for a tournament-type on-line game by batch processing according to claim 1,

wherein the variable input unit (160) sets a time limit for receiving variables so that the participants input variable information within the time limit, and

wherein, in the case where a participant does not input variable information within the time limit, an opponent of the participant not inputting variable information is determined as a winner.
