Abstract

Disclosed is an integrated screen baseball platform may include: a mobile character promotion game module that generates ability score information of a character, which has been promoted through a mobile character promotion game, by improving an ability score of the character; a PC management game module that generates management information of a baseball team by executing a PC management game through a user PC; and a screen baseball system that receives management the character ability score information and the management information of the baseball team and adjusts the level of difficulty of a screen baseball game by using any one thereof.

Claims

1. An integrated screen baseball platform comprising:

a screen baseball system that comprises a game management unit that comprises a player index game reflecting unit and a club index game reflecting unit, a screen that displays an image of a baseball game, a pitching machine unit that shoots a ball at the same time when the image is displayed on the screen, and a striking detecting unit that, if the ball shot by the pitching machine is stricken, detects the stricken ball, wherein a screen baseball game progresses according to a baseball rule by using club information comprising a plurality of player elements;

a mobile character promotion game module by which a mobile character promotion game progresses in a portable mobile device, wherein player index data, which is character ability score information, is generated by improving an ability score of a character that is promoted through a mobile character promotion game; and

a PC management game module that executes a PC management game through a user PC and generates club index data that is management information of a baseball team,

wherein the screen baseball system;

receives the player index data from the mobile character promotion game module and changes player information of the screen baseball game, by the player index game reflecting unit; and

receives the club index data from the PC management game module and changes club information of the screen baseball game, by the club index game reflecting unit,

wherein the screen baseball game is progressed by operating the pitching machine unit and the striking detecting unit, according to the baseball game rule, based on data on which the changed player information and the changed club information are reflected,

wherein the player information comprises at least one of information elements that are obtained by digitizing a force, a base running speed, a striking speed, and a striking accuracy of the player, and the club information comprises at least one of information elements that are obtained by digitizing batting power, a base running speed, and a pitching strength of the club,

wherein the screen baseball system, the portable mobile device, and the user PC are spaced apart from each other, and

wherein the PC management game module selects, changes, and sets a club desired by the user.

2. The integrated screen baseball platform of claim 1, wherein the mobile character promotion game module comprises:

a mobile game DB in which score data of the mobile character promotion game executed by the portable mobile device is stored and accumulated;

a player index conversion unit that receives the accumulated score data, calculate the received score data, and generates score index data; and

a player index DB in which the generated player index data is stored.

3. The integrated screen baseball platform of claim 2, wherein the PC management game module comprises:

a club setting DB in which setting information of a club is stored;

an online game DB in which scores for games, which have been progressed by an automatic match simulation and have been collected, are stored and accumulated;

a club index conversion unit that receives the accumulated game score information and converts the received game score information to the club index data; and

a club index DB in which the converted club index data is stored.

4. The integrated screen baseball platform of claim 3, wherein the screen baseball system comprises a screen baseball DB in which screen baseball data generated during the screen baseball game is stored.

5. An integrated screen baseball implementing method using the integrated screen baseball platform of claim 1, the method comprising:

(a) improving an ability score of a character that has been promoted through a mobile character promotion game progressed by the portable mobile device to generate player index data that is character ability score information, by the mobile character promotion game module;

(b) executing a PC management game through the user PC to generate player index data that is management information of a baseball team, by the PC management game module; and

(c) receiving the player index data and the club index data to adjust a level of difficulty of the screen baseball game, by the screen baseball system.

6. The integrated screen baseball implementing method of claim 5, wherein (a) further comprises:

selecting a mobile character promotion game, logging in the mobile character promotion game with a personal ID, and executing the selected mobile character promotion game, by the portable mobile device;

storing and accumulating the score data of the executed mobile character promotion game in a mobile game DB;

receiving the accumulated score data, calculating the received score data, and generating the player index data, by a player index conversion unit in the mobile character promotion game module; and

storing the generated player index data.

7. The integrated screen baseball implementing method of claim 6, wherein (b) further comprises:

storing setting information of a club in a club setting DB;

progressing games by an automatic match simulation;

collecting scores of the progressed games and storing and accumulating the collected scores in an online game DB in the PC management game module as game score information;

transmitting the accumulated game score information to a club index conversion unit in the PC management game module and converting the transmitted game score information to club index data; and

storing the converted club index data in a club index DB in the PC management game module.

8. The integrated screen baseball implementing method of claim 7, wherein (c) further comprises:

(c-1) transmitting the player index data to the player index game reflecting unit;

(c-2) transmitting the club index data to the club index game reflecting unit;

(c-3) progressing a game after adjusting a level of difficulty of the screen baseball game, according to the transmitted player index data and the transmitted club index data, by the screen baseball system; and

(c-4) storing screen baseball data generated during the screen baseball game, in a screen baseball DB.
