A user group is a group of multiple users in a game, for example, a party, a bloodbath. Control refers to the fact that certain user groups have occupied the area by preventing the characters of other users not belonging to their user group from activating in certain areas of the game.

For example, some users can form a user group for the purpose of hunting monsters in the game together, and they can form a group of users by monopolizing hunting for specific monsters or monopolizing the acquisition of a specific item It is possible to kill the characters of other users who do not belong to their existing user group and occupy that particular hunting ground by killing characters of other users who are not in their user group to enter the particular hunting ground.

Accordingly, in order to check whether a specific area is controlled by a specific user group in the game, the user group to which the characters existing in the specific area belongs can be checked. For example, if the ratio of the characters of the users belonging to the specific user group among the characters existing in the specific area is equal to or greater than the set value (for example, 90%), it can be determined that the specific area is controlled by the specific user group . Accordingly, the control area identification unit 210 can identify the control area based on the number of characters of users belonging to a specific user group and the number of characters of users who do not belong to the specific user group.

On the other hand, the control area identification unit 210 can identify whether the specific area is controlled by considering the conflicting record (e.g., PVP record) of the characters in addition to the number of characters per user group existing in the specific area . This is because there are many PVP records if a particular user group is controlling a specific area.

It is also possible to refer to such a PVP record in order to ascertain whether a certain area has a clump. Membrane refers to killing characters of certain characters and other users in a specific area. For example, a high-level character randomly kills characters in a certain area.

On the other hand, the group of users who control a specific area may be plural, not singular. For example, some user groups can be allied and have a certain hunting area together. When specific user groups are allied and control a specific hunting area together, the proportion of the characters belonging to specific user groups among the characters existing in the specific area will be maintained at a certain high level. Accordingly, the control area identification unit 210 can identify the in-game area as a control area based on a ratio of characters belonging to specific user groups among characters existing in a specific area per unit time.

The control information generation unit 220 generates control information related to the control area. The control information may include information on at least one of a position of a control region, a user group that controls the control region, and a control degree of the control region.

Here, the information on the position of the control area may be information on the position of the control area on the mini-map, information on the name of the control area (e.g., place name, building name, etc.).

For example, information about the user group controlling the control area may include, for example, identification information of the user group that controls the control area (for example, the name or identification mark of the user group) Information, ranking or power information of the user group controlling the control area, and the like.

Information on the degree of control of the control area refers to information on how much the control group controls the control area. For example, the information on the degree of control of the control area may include information on the ratio of characters belonging to the user group that controls the control area among the characters in the control area per unit time, Information about the time that is controlled, information about the degree of occupation of the monster or item in the control area by the user group that controls the control area, and then grades the same by the graded score have.
