Abstract
Provided is a method of providing an observing service using event prediction in a game, in which a method of predicting various events that may occur in a game space during a game play so as to observe a situation where the events are occurring is provided. According to the method of providing an observing service using event prediction in a game, various game events occurring during a game play may be predicted so as to effectively generate videos of the events.
Claims7
A method of providing an observing service using event prediction in an online game, the method comprising:
- (a) storing, by a game terminal or a server, an event standard condition of game variables indicating states of game objects, based on which occurrence of a game event is predicted, wherein the event standard condition stores a particular value of each of the game variables predetermined to be associate to the game event by statistically processing past game data during the occurrence of the game event;
- (b) monitoring, by the game terminal or the server, values of game variables of the game objects during a play of the online game on the game terminal;
- (c) predicting, by the game terminal or the server, occurrence of the game event by determining whether values of the game variables monitored in (b) satisfy the event standard condition stored in (a), wherein the game event is an event change in an environment of the online game;
- (d) when occurrence of the game event is predicted in (c), placing, by the game terminal or the server, a virtual observing camera that captures a video at a first location in virtual game space is moved to a second location in virtual game space where the game event is predicted to occur, wherein the first and second locations of the virtual observing camera have different viewing angle with respect to the predicted occurrence of the game event;
- and
- (e) generating, by the game terminal or the server, a video captured using the virtual observing camera and storing the video.
