Sports bingo game operation method

Abstract

According to the present invention, a sports bingo game operation method implemented by at least one data processor included in a computing device capable of communicating with a client terminal of each user comprises the steps of: allowing the data processor to generate a bingo game, for each user, composed of at least N×N grids (N is a natural number greater than or equal to 3) related to sports game results; allowing the data processor to update the bingo game by changing arrangement locations of at least two or more grids in response to a movement command; allowing the data processor to calculate the number of bingos completed in the updated bingo game, according to sports game information; and determining user ranking by calculating points on the basis of the calculated number of bingos.

         4 . The sports bingo game operation method of  claim 2 , wherein
 the calculating of the completed bingos comprises:   converting, by the data processor, a state of the grids satisfied in the daubing condition; and   determining, by the data processor, whether the state-converted grids complete bingo.   
     
     
         5 . The sports bingo game operation method of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 while the calculating of the number of completed bingos by the data processor is being performed, if sports event information of the sports game information and a trigger event corresponding to a trigger event table are matched, determining of an event action with reference to the matched trigger event.   
     
     
         6 . The sports bingo game operation method of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 after determining the event action,   comparing, by the data processor, a prediction of the event action by the user and a result of the event action; and   if the prediction of the event action and the result of the event action are the same in the comparing, storing an event point in user information of the user who has predicted the event action.   
     
     
         7 . The sports bingo game operation method of  claim 6 , further comprising:
 comparing, by the data processor, the event point included in the user information with a reference point; and   when the event point is equal to or greater than the reference point, converting a state of a grid selected by a grid selection input according to the grid selection input of the user.   
     
     
         8 . The sports bingo game operation method of  claim 5 , wherein
 the event action is a quiz or a questionnaire.   
     
     
         9 . The sports bingo game operation method of  claim 2 , wherein
 in the updating of the bingo game, the data processor changes arrangement positions of daubing conditions of the grids according to the movement command.   
     
     
         10 . The sports bingo game operation method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 storing a player lineup prepared by the user for a contest of a sports event selected by the user before the generating of the bingo game.   
     
     
         11 . The sports bingo game operation method of  claim 10 , wherein
 the player lineup includes players within a predetermined annual salary budget.   
     
     
         12 . The sports bingo game operation method of  claim 10 , wherein,
 in the generating of the bingo game, the data processor includes game performance of at least some players included in the stored player lineup, as a daubing condition of the grids.   
     
     
         13 . The sports bingo game operation method of  claim 12 , wherein
 in the generating of the bingo game, the data processor selects game performance of the players according to one of predetermined distribution conditions.   
     
     
         14 . The sports bingo game operation method of  claim 10 , wherein
 the calculating of the number of completed bingos comprises:   converting, by the data processor, a state of the grids satisfied in the daubing condition; and   determining, by the data processor, whether the state-converted grids complete bingo.   
     
     
         15 . The sports bingo game operation method of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 calculating a fantasy point according to a game result of the players included in the player lineup, and   wherein, in the determining of rankings of the users, the point calculated on the basis of the calculated number of bingos and the fantasy point are added up and the rankings of the users in the contest are determined according to the sum of the points.   
     
     
         16 . The sports bingo game operation method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 storing a player lineup prepared by the user for a contest of a sports event selected by the user, before the generating of the bingo game.   
     
     
         17 . The sports bingo game operation method of  claim 16 , wherein
