Abstract

A system for providing a game includes: a sponsor-league-providing-server which transmits a sponsor league list to an electronic device according to a sponsor league selection signal received from the electronic device, and transmits advertisement data registered in a particular sponsor league when executing a game corresponding the particular sponsor league selected from the sponsor league list. An electronic device requests a sponsor league list to the sponsor-league-providing-server and receives the sponsor league list in case the sponsor league is selected from a menu list of game mode, and displays a game execution screen including advertisement data at one side when a game corresponding to the particular sponsor league is executed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system for providing a game, the system comprising:
 an electronic device; and   a sponsor-league-providing-server for transmitting a sponsor league list to the electronic device in response to receiving a sponsor league selection signal from the electronic device requesting the sponsor league list, and for transmitting advertisement data registered in a particular sponsor league when executing a game corresponding the particular sponsor league selected from the sponsor league list, wherein said electronic device receives the sponsor league list in response to the sponsor league being selected from a menu list of game mode displayed by said electronic device, and wherein said electronic device displays a game execution screen including advertisement data on one side of a display screen when a game corresponding to the particular sponsor league is executed.   
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a sponsor management server which registers and manages sponsor league information that is set by a particular sponsor.   
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a sponsor-league-ranking-server which receives resultant data including at least one of a score of a user who uses the particular sponsor league and information of winning or losing from the sponsor-league-providing-server, and manages the user's ranking.   
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a sponsor advertisement server which registers an advertisement inputted by the sponsor, and transmits the advertisement data to the sponsor-league-providing-server in order to include the advertisement data in a game execution screen.   
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the sponsor-league-providing-server checks whether the particular sponsor league period is valid if the particular sponsor league is selected from among the sponsor league list displayed by the electronic device. 
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the electronic device executes a game in the particular sponsor league if the particular sponsor league period is valid. 
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the sponsor-league-providing-server transmits a message that informs the electronic device that the sponsor league period is terminated, receives a prizewinner list of the particular sponsor league from the sponsor-league-ranking-server, and transmits the received prizewinner list to the electronic device if the particular sponsor league period is terminated. 
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the prizewinner list includes IDs of high-ranking users and advertisement data registered by a sponsor. 
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the electronic device transmits result data including at least one of information of winning or losing and a score, receives a ranking list according to the result data from the sponsor-league-providing-server, and displays the received ranking list when the sponsor league game is terminated. 
   
   
       10 . A method of providing a game of an electronic device using a sponsor league, the method comprising:
 displaying a menu list if a game mode is executed;   requesting a sponsor league list to a sponsor-league-providing-server and receiving the sponsor league list, if the sponsor league is selected from the menu list;   receiving particular sponsor league information selected from among the sponsor league list from the sponsor-league-providing-server and outputting the particular sponsor league information on a screen; and   displaying a game execution screen including advertisement data received from the sponsor-league-providing-server in one side, if a game execution is requested from the particular sponsor league.   
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the sponsor league information includes at least one of a sponsor league period, a sponsor league title, a match condition, a prize-awarding condition, a participation condition, and a prize list. 
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 transmitting result data including at least one of information of winning or losing and a score to the sponsor-league-providing-server, receiving a ranking list according to the result data from the sponsor-league-providing-server, and outputting the received ranking list when the game is terminated.   
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 determining whether the particular sponsor league period received from the sponsor-league-providing-server is valid; and   executing the game in the particular sponsor league if the particular sponsor league period is valid.   
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 receiving a message from the sponsor-league-providing-server that the particular league period is terminated, and a prizewinner list of the particular sponsor league from the sponsor-league-providing-server, and outputting the received message and the prizewinner list if the particular sponsor league period is terminated.
