    A game program down-loading system for mobile terminal and method thereof
    The present invention allows a user of a mobile terminal, which is a personal communication device, to register a game program that he / she wants in his mobile terminal, and to change or upgrade the registered contents as necessary, to enjoy a game. The present invention relates to a game program downloading system and method for a mobile terminal using the Internet, which downloads a game program to a mobile terminal through a wireless internet, stores it in a memory, and plays the game.
    Recently, due to the rapid development of information and communication technology and the change of communication culture, not only adults but also most teenagers have mobile terminals. The rapid dissemination of such portable mobile communication terminals has caused each terminal manufacturer to make a lot of efforts to develop its own differentiated products. Accordingly, recently released terminals have various additional functions rather than the original communication functions. Had more.
    Among the functions added to the mobile terminal, a function that has received a lot of favorable reviews from the young people is the execution function of the electronic entertainment game program.
    Currently, a mobile terminal with a game function on the market contains an electronic entertainment game program of a certain code type in a memory inside the terminal. Therefore, the mobile terminal holder can enjoy the electronic entertainment game using the key input unit provided in the front of the mobile terminal.
    In general, the nature of electronic entertainment games is not very likely if the gamers see the ending of a particular game program. If a gamer plays a game program that he had previously defeated, the interest is inevitably diminished from the beginning.
    However, the amount of memory that can be supported for the recording of game programs in the mobile terminal is extremely limited, and thus it is not possible to record various types of game programs. In particular, unlike a dedicated game machine, since the capacity of the game data memory cannot be freely designed, it is practically difficult to mount a game program having a high degree of difficulty and completeness in the mobile terminal in view of the recent trend of miniaturization and low price of the mobile terminal.
    Therefore, since the short memory program having a different genre or personality or a full-length game program having a series of full stories cannot be recorded in the internal memory of the mobile terminal, the electronic entertainment game using the mobile terminal up to now is the owner of the mobile terminal. As time goes by, the interests and interests of course deteriorate.
    An object of the present invention is to provide a game program downloading system and method for a mobile terminal using the Internet to download the game program stored in the game server to the mobile terminal side via the wireless Internet to store in the memory and play it to enjoy the game There is.
    Another object of the present invention is to download a series of long game program partly downloaded to the mobile terminal through the Internet online (or offline) without the expansion of the internal memory of the mobile terminal game program for the mobile terminal to enjoy a full story game A loading system and method thereof are provided.
    Still another object of the present invention is to allocate only a memory area for storing a game program when manufacturing a mobile terminal for each manufacturer, so that redundant development and mounting processes of game program codes for a mobile terminal for each manufacturer can be omitted, thereby reducing product production costs. The present invention provides a game program downloading system for a mobile terminal and a method thereof.

Among the programs, the user selects the desired game program code and the data to be associated with it and is linked to each other or downloaded separately.
    In particular, different difficulty levels or step-by-step data can be downloaded separately on the same program (machine code) to execute an electronic entertainment game of the corresponding difficulty level or level.
    To this end, it is necessary to establish a web game server 300 that can be connected to the Internet as a mobile terminal. The portable mobile terminal, that is, the mobile terminal 100, has a memory for downloading and storing electronic entertainment game programs of desired program codes and data ( 120) (see Fig. 2).
    The various game programs and data constructed in the web game server 300 receive information by manufacturer and type of a mobile terminal connected through the Internet from a network operator operating the wireless Internet service system 200. Program and data are sent.
    The game server has a memory, that is, a game DB 500, which holds object codes and data according to types of CPUs held by manufacturers and models of portable mobile terminals in separate areas, respectively. When the address for storing the game code and data in the memory of the portable mobile terminal is transferred from the portable mobile terminal side, the web game server automatically links the machine code and data with the corresponding address, and then downloads the data.
    Web game server 300 is a game list and demo so that users connected to the server can easily select and download the type of electronic entertainment game program on the game DB owned by the server and the various data required by the electronic entertainment game program It has a simulation function for.
    2 shows a basic block diagram of the portable mobile terminal 100.
    As referred to herein, the mobile terminal may include a memory 120 capable of storing and deleting a game program transmitted from a web game server into program code and data, and a display for outputting a mobile terminal status and a game screen ( 130, an interface device 140 for interfacing data with an external device such as a computer, a key input unit 150, a voice signal processing unit 160, an RF signal processing unit 170, and the central control thereof. And a CPU 110 that executes a menu program capable of executing a game program.
    The portable mobile terminal is capable of accessing the wireless Internet and transmits and receives various event signals between the memory and the CPU for executing and terminating a game program.
    The portable mobile terminal 100 receives a wireless Internet service through a network operator operating the wireless Internet service system 200 and is connected to the web game server 300 through the wireless Internet.
    The personal PC 400 is connected to the web game server 300 through a normal internet service network.
    When the mobile terminal 100 is connected to the web game server 300 through the wireless Internet, the mobile terminal 100 is displayed on the display 130 in the mobile terminal 100. As an example, the game list of FIG. 4 is viewed and downloaded. By directly selecting the desired game, the game program code and data are separated from each other or the game program data is downloaded in a combined state.
    On the contrary, when accessing the web game server 300 using the personal PC 400, by selecting a game or data to be downloaded by viewing the game list, and entering the mobile terminal number to be downloaded to the game server Downloading of the game is done.
    The game program for the mobile terminal downloaded to the PC 400 connects the data interface device 140 of the mobile terminal 100 side and the serial / parallel data input / output port of the PC 400 using a separate cable to the mobile terminal side. You can download the game program.
    FIG. 5 is an example of providing a list for selecting games and data supported by the web game server 300. The game list shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display of the mobile terminal 100 or the monitor screen of the PC 400. When selecting an icon of a game to be loaded, the basic game of the game is shown in order to predict the type and genre of the selected game at a glance.
    3 illustrates a data processing process for explaining a game program execution process in the mobile terminal 100. The program code and data are downloaded using an internet browser function and stored in a specific memory 120. When a game program downloaded by the mobile terminal is executed, the data exchange relationship between the memory 120 for storing game program data and the CPU 110 in the mobile terminal is schematically represented.
    Here, the program code downloaded from the web game server 300 using the Internet browser downloading function in the portable mobile terminal 100 is stored in the code information area 121 and the downloaded data is stored in the data information area 122. Will be stored in.
    Therefore, when the user selects a menu in order to execute the program code downloaded from the CPU 110 embedded in the mobile terminal, the CPU 110 of the mobile terminal is switched to the game mode in the mobile terminal mode of the mobile phone and then the memory 120. The execution of the program recorded in the code information area 121 is started.
    When the program of the code information area 121 is started, the CPU 110 reads data data necessary for the execution of the program from the data information area 122 to determine the start point and scenario of the game program and periodically codes the timer event. It is exported to the information area 121 and detects this whenever there is a user's key input through the key input unit 150, generates a key button event, and sends it to the code information area 212.
    The timer event allows the CPU to call the game area with a certain period when the mobile terminal user executes a game downloaded to the mobile terminal so that the specific game can be played without affecting the normal standby mode of the portable mobile terminal.
    In the code information area 121 of the memory 120, a game program is performed through the data information area and the screen information area 123.
    When the user selects the end of the game or a situation (call detection) occurs for a call while the program recorded in the code information area 121 is executed, the CPU 110 of the mobile terminal stops at the code information area 121. Invoke by sending a pause event.
    When a stop event or a pause event is transmitted from the CPU 110 to the code information area 121 in this manner, the data or area currently in progress is transmitted to the data information area 122 for storage.
    In addition, the code information area 121 sends the screen information of the portable mobile terminal, which should be controlled according to the execution of the program of the CPU, to the screen information area 123 and stores the screen information therein, and the CPU reads it periodically to read the display 130. Output through
    An effect event is provided for an event that may generate a sound to the CPU 110 in order to give an effect to a user when executing or terminating a program in the code information area 121.
    6 is a flowchart illustrating an operation process of a web game server executing a download of a game program for a mobile terminal through the Internet.
    As referred to here, when a mobile terminal is connected to a download site of a mobile terminal game program operated by a web game server, the terminal manufacturer has previously secured and databased the unique number information of the mobile phone from the server. It is determined whether to allow the downloading of the program by comparing the specifications of each model.
    In the above step, if the terminal connected to the website is a type that is not allowed to download the game program, it is determined whether the personal computer (PC) connection mode. If it is not a PC, it outputs an unavailable message, and if it is in PC connection mode, it is determined by downloading the game type menu screen, selecting a download target game, and demo simulation of the selected game program.
    At this time, if the download condition is selected, the mobile phone number is requested and the download is executed. The mobile phone number request is a condition for the authentication and billing of the use right. In the case of a free service, the mobile phone number request can be omitted. In addition, if it is provided as a membership service, a member ID may be required instead of a mobile phone number or a mobile phone number. After the download is completed, the program code and data are combined to complete the Internet transmission for one game program.
    After that, by loading the game program stored in the PC into the mobile phone using a communication interface cable, the mobile terminal can enjoy a new game.
    On the other hand, if it is determined that the web site access mobile phone, i.e., the mobile terminal, allows the download of the game program, it is judged whether the download is possible by outputting the above-described game type menu screen, selecting the download target game, and demo simulation of the selected game program. do.
    If download is selected here, as mentioned above, the address for storing the machine program code and data according to the type of CPU owned by the manufacturer and the model of the portable mobile terminal is transferred from the portable mobile terminal side to obtain the machine code and data from the web game server. It automatically transforms to the address and downloads it.
    When you run the download, you can automatically charge.
    In this way, the desired game program can be downloaded and used whenever necessary. When one game is composed of multiple levels, the program execution code information is the same. You can download it, replace it, and run it.
    With this technique, the long game program can be continuously executed on the mobile communication terminal.
    7 is a flowchart illustrating an execution process of a game program downloaded to a mobile terminal according to the present invention.
    As referred to herein, when the mobile terminal is switched to the game mode, the CPU of the terminal reads the program code and data code stored in the memory to instruct the progress of the game. At this time, the CPU executes the start event and the timer event to control the game in the standby mode of the mobile terminal.
    At this time, the game progresses according to the key button event value, and if the user's will or call signal is detected, the game generates a pause event or a stop event. The phone enters the standby mode.
    As described above, the present invention downloads the game program recorded in the game server to the mobile terminal through the wireless Internet, and stores it in the memory and can play it, so that the game can be enjoyed by the lack of memory allocation capacity of the mobile mobile terminal. There is a distinctive effect of solving the program's loading limitation problem.
    In addition, the present invention has the effect of being able to enjoy a full story game by partially downloading and releasing a series of long game programs to the mobile terminal through the Internet online or offline without the expansion of the internal memory of the mobile terminal.
    In addition, the present invention allocates only a memory area for storing a game program when manufacturing a mobile terminal for each manufacturer, so that redundant development and mounting processes of game program codes for mobile terminals for each manufacturer can be omitted, thereby reducing product production costs. The effect is also obtained.
