Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of manipulating an alphanumeric character using a drag and drop method in an infant environment of a smart device,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a character manipulation method for controlling a character of an RPG driven in a smart device such as a smart phone, and more particularly, to a method of operating a game character through a touch on a touch screen screen of a smart device.

Recently, a user of a smart device such as a smart phone using a touch screen as an input means has been explosively increased. In addition, an application, which is an application program running on the smart device, has been developed .

Particularly, among the applications of various fields, game applications occupy a considerable part, and among these game applications, Role-Playing Gmae (RPG) occupies a large part.

Role-Playing Game (RPG), commonly referred to as 'RPG game', is a game in which a gamer achieves his or her mission or purpose within the game space. You participate in the game in various ways.

The characteristics of this RPG are that the first is the degree of freedom of the gamer, and the second is the quantification which represents the growth of the gamer (the character ability).

In other words, the RPG gains a certain amount of experience as the player performs his / her role in the space given by his / her character, experiences the battle or solves the specific event, and the level rises as the experience value accumulates.

Therefore, the RPG has a higher degree of freedom of gamers than other shooting games or 1: 1 war games, and requires a variety of characters to play in comparison with other general games as the degree of freedom of gamers is high.

For example, in addition to the up, down, left, and right arrow keys for moving a character, a control key for various controls of characters such as a selection key, an OK key, an attack key, a defense key, an avoidance key, a cancel key, .

In the existing PC-based RPG, it is not difficult to manipulate the character variously by using the keyboard and the mouse. However, in the case of the smart device based on the touch screen, there is no separate physical device as the input device, A virtual keypad is displayed, and the gamer inputs data to the smart device by operating the virtual keypad provided on the game screen.

1, an example of an RPG screen based on a conventional smart device is shown. The smart device 1 touches a virtual keypad formed on a game screen without a separate input device (means) An RPG based on the smart device 1 has a move key 10 for moving a character on a game screen, a move key 10, a selection key, a confirmation key, an attack key, a defense key, And a control key 20 for controlling various kinds of characters such as an item key, a skill key, and the like. The gamer manipulates the character by touching the control key 20 with the movement key 10, which is a virtual keypad formed on the game screen do.

As described above, the RPG based on the conventional smart device 1 has to devote much of the game screen (touch screen) 2 to forming and arranging the move key 10 and the control key 20 for various play of characters.

As a result, the game screen of the touch screen 2 of the smart device 1, which is relatively small compared to the PC, is reduced by forming the move key 10 and the control key 20 on the game screen for playing the character, There is a problem in that the satisfaction of the gamer is deteriorated. Since the position and size of the move key 10 and the control key 20 are fixed as shown in Fig. 1, the move key 10 on the game screen There is a problem that it is difficult to smoothly operate the control key 20 and it is inconvenient to enjoy the game.

In addition, if the size of the movement keys 10 and the control keys 20 is reduced in order to increase the satisfaction of the gamer, it is very difficult for the gamer to operate the movement keys 10 and the control keys 20, none.

For example, when a size displayed on the game screen of the move key 10 and the control key 20 is relatively small, it is difficult for a gamer to select a desired key, and an undesired key is often selected, There is a problem that the game can not proceed smoothly because the game is played.

Further, since the control key 20 such as the attack key and the defense key is positioned at the lower right end, the right hander can enjoy the game without inconvenience, There is a problem that operation of the control key 10 and the control key 20 is inconvenient.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a method of adjusting a virtual key of a game screen in a smart phone is disclosed in the prior art application No. 10-2010-0080705. The above-mentioned related art is related to a method for allowing a gamer to set and adjust the positions and intervals of a plurality of virtual keys displayed on a game screen of a smartphone (device), and includes a touch screen, a screen output unit, a touch recognition unit, and a control unit When a game is executed by a method of adjusting a virtual key of a game screen displayed on the touch screen in a smart device, the controller calculates a default position of virtual keys using the width and height of the touch screen screen, A second step of displaying the virtual keys at a user preset position or a default position pre-stored together with the game screen, and when the virtual keypad change request is input after the second step, the control unit displays the virtual keys A third step of changing the state of the selected virtual key to a movable state, A step of moving and displaying the selected virtual key along a movement path of the external stimulus when the external stimulus is removed from the region of the selected virtual key after the step of moving the selected virtual key; And a fifth step of changing the user setting position of the selected virtual key to the current position.

The conventional technique allows the fixed position and size of the move key 10 and the control key 20 shown in FIG. 1 to be changed, so that a gamer having a relatively large left hand or a relatively large hand can move the move key 10, And the position and the size of the control key 20 can be adjusted, so that it is possible to enjoy the game more easily.

However, while the above-described prior art has an advantage in that the position and size of the move key 10 and the control key 20 can be adjusted, the move key 10 and the control key 20 in the smart device having a touch screen screen of about 4 to 6 inches There is a problem in that the size of the control key 20 is increased, thereby reducing the screen on which the character is played.

Particularly, in the case of the RPG, since the degree of freedom of the character is high, a relatively large game space is required to be presented to the gamer, so that the smooth game progress of the gamer and the satisfaction of the game are increased, so that the conventional technique causes the problem that the satisfaction of the gamer is lowered in the RPG .

Therefore, in order to enjoy the RPG smoothly in the smart device, a completely new character control method is required instead of the method (Fig. 1) in which the virtual game key 10 and the control key 20 are used on the existing game screen have.

In order to solve the problems of the related art as described above, a method of operating an alphabet character using a drag and drop method in an infant environment of the smart device of the present invention is a drag and drop method instead of a move key and a control key formed on an existing game screen And an object of the present invention is to provide an operation method of an alpine character in which a character is controlled according to a selected situation.

In the drawings, like reference numerals refer to the same or similar functions throughout the several views.

The method of manipulating an RPG character using a drag and drop method in a UI environment of a smart device of the present invention is as follows. The RPG character manipulation method of moving the character using the RPG character manipulation method and the selection of the control key 20 for performing the special function or performing the dragging and the dragging in the infant environment of the smart device of the present invention The character 30 or the control key 20 through the touch and the character 30 or the control key 20 selected by dragging and dropping are selected as shown in an example of the RPG screen example in which the operation method of the alphabet character using the drop method is applied, (20) is executed is the most important technical feature.

In addition, it has a technical feature that a complicated play of a character can be easily performed in a drag and drop manner so that a gamer can enjoy a game smoothly through the smart device 1. [

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the present invention has a technical feature of providing a play space of a wider character by removing the move key 10. [

Hereinafter, a method of operating an alphabet character using a drag and drop method in a UI environment of the smart device of the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a sequence of a method of operating an alphabet character using a drag and drop method in a child environment of a smart device according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the present invention includes a touch sensor unit 22 for recognizing a touch, A method of operating a character of an RPG (Role-Playing Game) driven by a smart device 1 including a touch screen 2 made up of a display unit 24 and a control unit (not shown) (S10) for providing a command selection key for selecting a play command, a second step (S20) for determining whether or not the command selection key is selected, a third step (S30) for activating the command selection key, And a fourth step (S40) of playing the game.

The first step S10 of providing the command selection key for selecting the play command is to select a character to be controlled 30 on the game screen outputted through the display unit 24 of the touch screen 2 And a plurality of control keys 20 for playing the character 30 to provide a command selection key so that the gamer can select a play command.

The character 30 can be variously shaped. The control key 20 has an icon shape such that a gamer can intuitively recognize a function such as a 'knife' icon as an attack key, and a 'shield' Is preferably displayed.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 2, it is preferable that the control key 20 is arranged at the lower end and both ends of the game screen so that the game screen can be sufficiently secured.

The second step S20 of determining whether the command selection key is selected is a step of determining whether the character 30 or the control key 20 capable of inputting a command has been selected by the gamer, FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining touch coordinate values, character area values, and control key area values of an operation method of an alphabet character using a drag and drop method in a child environment of the smart device of the present invention. The control unit receives the touch coordinate value 100 of the touched position through the touch sensor unit 22 and receives the touch coordinate value 100 and the character 30, which is one of the command selection keys, And determines whether or not the command selection key is selected by comparing the character area value 300 with the control key area value 200 where the control key 20 is located.

That is, the controller determines whether the command selection key is selected according to the touch coordinate value of the touched position. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the first touch coordinate value 100-1 is included in the control key region value 200-1 to determine that the control key 20 is selected, and the second touch coordinate value The third touch coordinate value 100-3 is included in the character area value 300 to determine that the character 30 is selected and the third touch coordinate value 100-3 is not included in any area value, .

If the touch screen 2 is touched, the second step S20 of determining whether or not the command selection key is selected is to select the character 30 or the control key 30 as an input key for inputting a command for playing the character, (20) is selected by the control unit.

In the third step S30 of activating the command selection key, the touch coordinate value 100 is included in the character area value 300 or the control key area value 200 in the second step S20, The controller 30 recognizes the command as a play command of the character 30 and activates the command selection key including the touch coordinate value.

4, for example, the control key 20 is activated in the case of the first touch coordinate value 100-1, and the control key 20 is activated in the case of the second touch coordinate value 100-2. do.

In a fourth step (S40) of playing the character, when the touch screen is dragged in a touched state after the third step and is dropped at a predetermined position on the game screen, The drag coordinate value of the dragging process and the drop coordinate value of the dropped position are input through the touch sensor unit, and the predefined character is played according to the drag coordinate value and the drop coordinate value.

The play of the predefined character depends on the drag coordinate value and the drop coordinate value, and the play of the character which is necessary for the gamer to play the RPG such as the move play, the attack play, the defensive play, the avoid play, the item use play, .

For example, as shown in FIG. 5 for explaining dragging and dropping in character selection of a method of operating an alpine character using a drag and drop method in a child environment of the smart device of the present invention, It is possible to recognize and execute the two types of play commands.

That is, in the second step S20, the touch coordinate value 100 is included in the character area value 300. In the third step S30, when the character 30 is activated, The drop coordinate value 500 is included in the object range value 600 by comparing the drop coordinate value with the object range values 600 in which the exposed attack objects (objects) 40 on the game screen are located, The character 30 plays an attack on the attack target 40 of the object range value 600 including the drop coordinate value 500 as shown in FIG. 5 (b) If the drop coordinate value 500 is not included in the object range value 600, the player moves the character 30 to the drop coordinate value 500 as shown in FIG. 5 (a).

That is, when the gamer drags the character 30 in a touched state and drops the game character into an empty space on the game screen, the controller performs a moving game (FIG. 5A) It is determined that the attack is against the attack target 40 positioned in the drop coordinate value 500 and the character 30 attacks the attack target 40 by playing.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 6 for explaining a multi-target attack using drag and drop in character selection of a method of manipulating an alpine character using a drag and drop method in a child environment of the smart device of the present invention, The coordinate value 500 and the drag coordinate value 400 are compared with the object range values 600 in which the exposed attack object (object 40) is positioned on the game screen, and the drop coordinate value 500 and the drag coordinate value The character 30 includes all of the object range values including the drop coordinate value 500 and the drag coordinate value 400 when the target object 400 is included in the object range value 600. [ 5) is moved according to the drag coordinate value (400).

If the drop coordinate value 500 and the drag coordinate value 400 are not included in the object range value 600, the drag coordinate value 400 is set to the drop coordinate value 500 as shown in FIG. 5 (a) So that the character 30 moves.

Therefore, the RPG character manipulation method according to the present invention can attack a plurality of attack targets (multi-targets) by simple and intuitive command input.

5 and 6, the character 30 is selected as the command selection key. However, the control key 20 is also operated in the same manner.

As shown in the figure for describing the drag and drop in the control key selection of the method of manipulating the alphabet character using the drag and drop method in the infant environment of the smart device of the present invention, in the second step S20, the touch coordinate value 100 is included in the control key region value 200 and the control key 20 selected in the third step is activated. In the fourth step S40, the drop coordinate value 500 and the exposed blood When the drop coordinate value 500 is included in the object range value 600, the character 30 compares the drop coordinate value 500 with the object range values 600 in which the attack objects (objects) The attacking object 40 of the object range value 600 including the control key 20 is attacked.

That is, as shown in FIG. 7, when the gamer selects a desired control key 20 and then drags the selected control key 20 and drops it on the place where the attacking body 40 is located, It is determined that the attack is a special attack corresponding to the control key 20 for the attacking body 40 and the attack corresponding to the control key 20 is played against the attacking body 40. [

Another example of manipulating the RPG character using drag and drop is shown in FIG. 8 for explaining an example of attack using drag and drop in the control key selection of the method of manipulating the alphabet character using the drag and drop method in the infant environment of the smart device of the present invention If the touch coordinate value 100 is included in the control key region value 200 in the second step S20 and the control key selected in the third step S30 is activated, The control unit sets an attack range having a direction based on the input drag coordinate value 400 and plays the attack unit 40 included in the set attack range in accordance with the control key 20. [

That is, when the skill type of the control key 20 is a range attack, the gamer sets the attack range (angle) and the main attack direction as a drag, then selects and drags the control key 20, The gamer performs a ranged attack in the range and direction selected by the drag method.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, And such variations and modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.
