Method for processing the data distributed at online game server and a system thereof

Abstract

A distributed data processing method which defines a predetermined section of the boundary with an adjacent game zone as a buffer sector and flexibly controls a zone server, and a system thereof, wherein the zone server is connected to a client in accordance with a type that an indication area includes the buffer sector. There is an effect that it is possible to provide a distributed data processing method by an online game server and a system thereof, in which a predetermined range based on the boundary with a game zone is defined as a buffer sector, and as a section of the buffer sector is included in an indication area, a user character connects a zone server of a game zone to which the user character moves next, to a client.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation of International Patent Application No. PCT / KR2005 / 000341, filed on Feb. 4, 2005, which claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2004-0007586, filed on Feb. 5, 2004, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present disclosure relates to a distributed data processing method by an online game server and a system thereof. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a distributed data processing method and a system thereof which defines a predetermined section of the boundary with an adjacent game zone as a buffer sector and flexibly controls a zone server connected to a client in accordance with a type that an indication area includes the buffer sector. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] In case that a wide game area is signal-processed by one game server under general online game environments, it causes a lot...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0014] Furthermore, the present disclosure also provides a distributed data processing method by an online game server and a system thereof which may confirm that an indication area is located on a different game zone and restrain load of data from concentrating on a particular zone server by connecting an associated zone server to a client.

[0016] Furthermore, the present disclosure provides a distributed data processing method by an online game server and a system thereof which perform information transfer and updating with respect to character information by location of a user character, thereby efficiently reducing loss or distort of character information.

Problems solved by technology

In case that a wide game area is signal-processed by one game server under general online game environments, it causes a lot of problems in aspects of system functions and efficiency of signal processing.

This is because there may be tremendous difference in efficiency of data distribution processing by the time of starting connection or the type of connection of the exclusive game server connected to the client.

Therefore, there is a disadvantage that load by data processing may concentrate on the session server.

However, the data distribution method like above has a problem that communication load may suddenly increase between exclusive game servers.

Moreover, in the client's place, there is a limit that loading time by movement of a zone is required for game progress.
