The present invention relates to a dealer training device and a method for operating the device, and more particularly, to a dealer training device and a method for operating the device, which produces a game for dealing job training including a training course configured based on a learning module without including a specific scenario for job training of a casino dealer, and provides a game in the form of a time trial according to an option exercise of artificial intelligence.

Casino dealers provide various services for the convenience of customers in casinos or play games such as roulette, blackjack, and baccarat. Dealers must be fully familiar with the game rules to ensure smooth game progress, and they must handle cards and chips skillfully to process actions quickly and accurately. The dealer explains the game rules to customers, confirms that they have bet the prescribed amount, and then proceeds with the game using cards, roulette wheels, and dice. Depending on the win or loss of the game, they may pay or take chips to customers, exchange chips at the customer's request, and report to the manager (floor person) if anyone behaves suspiciously during the game.

Due to the improvement of our country's external image and the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of foreign visitors is increasing, and the size of the casino industry is also expanding accordingly. Recently, a large-scale integrated resort is about to open in Yeongjong Island, Incheon, and existing domestic/foreign casinos are also hiring new employees, so the demand for casino dealers is expected to increase. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of educational institutions that train casino dealers has been drastically reduced, and it is expected that the educational institutions will not be able to produce the human resource demand that will recover to the pre-COVID scale.

Recently, with the spread of the 4th industrial revolution and the beginning of a digital transformation, there have been many attempts to integrate education into games. Accordingly, in the casino dealer training market, there is a demand for game development that pursues unique game play that allows training to be conducted from the perspective of a dealer or trainee while focusing on dealer job training, where familiarity with the rules and practice are most important.

The advantages and features of the present invention, and the method for achieving them, will become clear with reference to the embodiments described in detail below together with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but may be implemented in various different forms, and these embodiments are provided only to make the disclosure of the present invention complete and to fully inform a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs of the scope of the invention, and the present invention is defined only by the scope of the claims.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a drawing showing a dealer training system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2a to 2c are example diagrams of user interface (UI) screens for briefly explaining service functions provided by the dealer training device of FIG. 1.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, a dealer training system (90) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes part or all of a user terminal device (100), a communication network (110), and a dealer training device (120).

Here, the term “including some or all” means that some components, such as a communication network (110), are omitted so that the user terminal device (100) and the dealer training device (120) can perform direct (e.g., P2P, etc.) communication, or some or all of the components constituting the dealer training device (120) can be integrated into a network device (e.g., a wireless switching device, etc.) constituting the communication network (110), and is explained as including all in order to help sufficient understanding of the invention.

The user terminal device (100) may include not only mobile-based terminal devices such as smartphones, tablet PCs, and wearable devices worn on the wrists of users, but also PC-based terminal devices such as desktop computers and laptop computers. In an embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable to implement a game for dealing job training in the form of an application (hereinafter, “app”) for entry-level dealers working in casinos, etc., or students dreaming of becoming dealers in colleges or private academies, by using a mobile-based terminal device. However, since it is also possible to use a PC-based terminal device through a web service, the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to any one form.

Users of the user terminal device (100), such as beginner casino dealers, can enjoy the game app installed on their smartphones, etc., and perform dealer job training while enjoying it. The game app according to the embodiment of the present invention, that is, the dealer training app, is not like existing games in that the game progresses according to a predetermined scenario, that is, a scenario designated during program design, but rather, it is preferable that the curriculum be structured based on an artificial intelligence learning module based on the National Competency Standards (NCS, classification number 1203040215_16V2). Details regarding the educational game will be discussed later. Here, the NCS is a system implemented by the Korea Human Resources Development Institute for Industry based on the Basic Qualifications Act. It refers to the knowledge/skills/attitudes required to perform a job systematized by the state by industrial sector and level. Since 2015, public institutions have been conducting recruitment using the NCS job competency standards. Matters described in the embodiments of the present invention may be based on the contents of NCS classification number 12.03.04.02.02. Table game management to 12.03.04.02.15. Actual table game progress.

Users of the user terminal device (100) can select the game mode they want to play after running the app, as shown in FIG. 2a, and can also select whether to play a CHALLENGE game or a TUTORIAL game. For example, if they select Baccarat in the game mode and then select the TUTORIAL button, Baccarat game education can be played. FIG. 2b shows the Baccarat game education process. They can select the desired item and play the education. Of course, since the user interface (UI) screen can be provided in various forms, the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to any one form. As can be seen in FIG. 2a, unique colors of Baccarat, Roulette, and Blackjack can be defined for content identification adaptation.

In addition, when users of the user terminal device (100) select a baccarat game on the screen of Fig. 2a and then select a challenge mode, 10 stages (stages) for each casino type may be displayed on the screen as in Fig. 2c. When all stages are cleared, the next difficulty level can be opened, and the game can proceed in a manner in which 10 stages are generated again. As can be seen in Fig. 2c, a screen (or item, menu) for selecting difficulty level may be displayed on one side of the screen, for example, at the bottom. The game can be proceeded by selecting a difficulty level through the corresponding item.

Of course, in addition to this, users of the user terminal device (100) can perform various actions to proceed with the game for educational purposes such as beginner casinos. For example, after creating an account, they can decide their gender and nickname on the character creation screen, and can also perform actions such as purchasing costumes at the costume shop. They can also go to the cash or point shop and purchase diamonds or hearts at the cash shop, and can purchase rare items at the point shop using popcorns provided during the game. These contents will be discussed in more detail later.

First of all, when users of the user terminal device (100) play a game through the challenge mode on the screen of Fig. 2a, the game is a single-player game for job training without user interaction, in other words, at least 3 or at most 7 AI players of artificial intelligence can participate in the game. Here, multiple AI players may be named as the first AI player, the third AI player, etc. Each AI player has already performed learning related to each game, so they play the game according to the AI command. It can be seen that the AI player perfectly understands the game rules (through learning). Of course, it can be seen that all the work performed by the dealer is controlled manually. The user playing the game can be seen as playing the game according to the progress of the AI players through manual actions on the game screen, that is, through the user interface on the screen. The dealer playing the game checks whether the AI players have bet the specified amount and then plays the game using cards, a roulette wheel, and a roulette ball. In addition, depending on the win or loss of the game, he or she gives or receives chips to the AI players on the screen and exchanges the chips.

Of course, data related to the game played using the user terminal device (100) can be provided in real time to the dealer training device (120) of Fig. 1, and in the process, scores are added during the game according to the accuracy of the dealer's manual control and the speed (of playing the game). In addition, when the dealer's manual control time limit has elapsed, chip presentation can be activated on the screen. In addition, when the game has progressed to the end, the dealer's final score can be shown on the screen.

The communication network (110) may be configured in various forms. The communication network (110) may include both wired and wireless communication networks. For example, a wired or wireless Internet network may be used or linked as the communication network (110). Here, the wired network includes an Internet network such as a cable network or a public switched telephone network (PSTN), and the wireless communication network includes CDMA, WCDMA, GSM, EPC (Evolved Packet Core), LTE (Long Term Evolution), Wibro, etc. Of course, the communication network (110) according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be used as an access network of a next-generation mobile communication system to be implemented in the future, for example, a cloud computing network under a cloud computing environment, a 5G network, etc. For example, if the communication network (110) is a wired communication network, an access point within the communication network can connect to a telephone exchange, etc., but if it is a wireless communication network, data can be processed by connecting to an SGSN or GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node) operated by a communication company, or by connecting to various relays such as a BTS (Base Transceiver Station), NodeB, or e-NodeB.

The communication network (110) may include an access point. The access point may include a small base station such as a femto or pico base station, which is installed in many buildings. Here, the femto or pico base station may be classified according to the maximum number of user terminal devices (100) that can be connected to the small base station. Of course, the femto or pico base station may include a short-range communication module for performing short-range communication such as Zigbee and Wi-Fi with the user terminal devices (100). The access point may use TCP/IP or RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) for wireless communication. Here, the short-range communication may be performed in various standards such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, infrared (IrDA), RF (Radio Frequency) such as UHF (Ultra High Frequency) and VHF (Very High Frequency) in addition to Wi-Fi, and ultra-wideband communication (UWB). Accordingly, the access point can extract the location of the data packet, designate the best communication path for the extracted location, and forward the data packet along the designated communication path to the next device, such as the dealer training device (120). The access point can share multiple lines in a general network environment, and may include, for example, a router, a repeater, and a repeater.

The dealer training device (120) can build game content for training, for example, beginner casino dealers according to an embodiment of the present invention, and execute the content when a user terminal device (100) requests a service to provide a game service screen. The game content is a game for training dealing jobs and does not include a specific scenario, and it can be seen that an education process based on artificial intelligence is conducted. The dealer training device (120) provides a single-player game for training jobs without interaction between users. For example, when a dealer proceeds with a game, up to seven AI players can participate in the game on the screen. Of course, since each AI player has learned data related to each game of the casino in advance through an artificial intelligence program, etc., the game can be conducted in various ways depending on the actions of other AI players, etc. In other words, when AI players participating in the game proceed with the game, that is, when there is an AI option exercise (or automatic game), it can be seen that it determines how quickly and accurately the dealer proceeds with the game.

When the game is in progress, data is provided and analyzed based on the user's interface operations on the screen, such as those of a beginner casino dealer, to measure the speed and accuracy and calculate the score. The dealer training device (120) according to the embodiment of the present invention can be seen as a game that progresses in a time trial manner in which many points can be obtained when the game is progressed quickly and accurately. A time trial refers to a game in which participants individually measure the time taken by each other over a set course or a certain distance. In this way, the dealer training device (120) can analyze data (e.g., sensing data touching the screen, etc.) by the dealer's interface through the game and, based on this, evaluate how accurately and quickly the dealer responds to the events of the AI players.

If we look at the specific composition of the game content in more detail, before entering the full game, in the game lobby, the user who accesses the game for the first time sets a nickname and gender and enters (the basic tutorial is immediately performed). As seen in Figure 2a, you can start the challenge mode or tutorial mode by selecting one of the baccarat, roulette, and blackjack games in the game lobby. The challenge mode stage provides 10 stages for each game, and you can select 4 difficulty levels for each stage. The tutorial mode provides 10 stages for each game, and the number of stages can be negotiated depending on the development progress. You can also enter the record room, where you can view the player's game records and various rankings. You can implement action points and use them every time you play the game. You can also implement a store and diamond goods to purchase decorative items displayed in the store. All of these actions can be performed by accessing the game road screen.

In the case of the baccarat game, the screen is configured from the baccarat dealer's point of view (or from the perspective). The game proceeds by applying the baccarat game rules from the dealer's point of view. The player has an AI and plays the game according to the AI's commands. The player AI perfectly understands the game rules. Up to three AI players participate in the game. Manually control all the tasks that the dealer must perform. The score is added during the game according to the accuracy and speed of the dealer's manual control. Also, when the dealer's manual control time limit expires, the chip presentation is activated (on the screen). When the game proceeds to the end, the dealer's final score is shown.

In the case of the blackjack game, the screen is configured from the perspective of the blackjack dealer. The game proceeds by applying the blackjack game rules from the dealer's perspective. As with baccarat, the player has an AI and plays the game according to the AI's commands. The player AI perfectly understands the game rules. Up to three AI players participate. The player AI randomly exercises options (e.g. double split (up to once), surrender insurance) depending on the situation (based on the results learned). All the actions that the dealer must perform are manually controlled. The score is added during the game according to the accuracy and speed of the dealer's manual control. When the dealer's manual control time limit is over, the chip presentation is activated, and when the game progresses to the end, the dealer's final score is displayed.

In the case of roulette games, the screen is configured from the roulette dealer's perspective. The roulette game can be configured to allow betting up to ⑬, making it different from the actual game. The game is played by applying the roulette game rules from the dealer's perspective. Players have AI and place bets at random locations. Up to 7 AI players participate. The roulette rotation is played using 2D POP. Depending on the result of the roulette, the dealer calculates the TAKE and PAY amounts for the betting amount and ends the game. The roulette game can be configured to progress quickly so that it can be practiced repeatedly.

In addition, the dealer training device (120) according to the embodiment of the present invention can implement, for example, 10 or less types of paid in-app items to achieve in-app sales, link the Google Admob ID provided by the orderer for advertising monetization, and design the content so that each user can view the advertisements an average of 7 times. At this time, all advertisements in the game can be removed. In other words, advertisements can be restricted from being executed in the game. For example, when in-game advertisement data is provided, the data can be detected and filtered (or deleted).

In addition to the above, the user terminal device (100), communication network (110), and dealer training device (120) of Fig. 1 can perform various operations, and since the related contents can be continuously dealt with later, the detailed contents will be replaced with those contents.

Figure 3 is a block diagram illustrating the detailed structure of the dealer training device of Figure 1.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, the dealer training device (120) of FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes part or all of a communication interface unit (300), a control unit (310), a dealer training unit (320), and a storage unit (330).

Here, the term "including some or all" means that some components, such as the storage unit (330), may be omitted to configure the dealer training device (120), or some components, such as the dealer training unit (320), may be integrated into other components, such as the control unit (310), etc. In order to help sufficient understanding of the invention, it is described as including all.

The communication interface unit (300) communicates with the user terminal device (100) via the communication network (110) of Fig. 1. During the communication process, the communication interface unit (300) performs operations such as modulation/demodulation, muxing/demuxing, encoding/decoding, and scaling to convert resolution, which are obvious to those skilled in the art, and therefore, further explanation is omitted.

The communication interface unit (300) can provide a service screen of dealer education game content according to an embodiment of the present invention when a service request is made by a user terminal device (100). For example, the communication interface unit (300) can provide a service screen as in FIGS. 2A to 2C under the control of the control unit (310), and for example, when a stage of the challenge mode of baccarat in FIG. 2A is progressed, a game screen in which an AI player participates in the game can be provided. Of course, in this process, the communication interface unit (300) can collect sensing data related to the dealer's interface on the game screen from the user terminal device (100) and provide it to the control unit (310). Furthermore, the communication interface unit (300) can control the final score of the dealer to be provided and displayed on the screen when the game progresses to the end.

The control unit (310) is responsible for the overall control operations of the communication interface unit (300), dealer education unit (320), and storage unit (330) of Fig. 3. When a service request is made from the user terminal device (100) of Fig. 1, the control unit (310) can execute a program installed in the dealer education unit (320) to provide a service screen. In addition, the control unit (310) can provide game content for dealer education to the user terminal device (100), and temporarily store sensing data related to the user interface, i.e., screen touch, acquired from the communication interface unit (300) in the storage unit (330), and then retrieve the data and provide it to the dealer education unit (320) for data analysis.

In addition, the control unit (310) can control the communication of the communication interface unit (300) to systematically classify and store the analysis results of data related to games of, for example, beginner casino dealers in the DB (120a) of Fig. 1 from the dealer education unit (320). For example, when users request their play records in the user terminal device (100), the data stored in the DB (120a) can be retrieved and inserted into a screen in a designated format and provided. Of course, the insertion of data in the designated format is processed by the graphic processing unit of the dealer education unit (320), and the control unit (310) can provide the data provided by the dealer education unit (320).

The dealer training unit (320) may be equipped with game content for dealing job training according to an embodiment of the present invention. The game content may be equipped with an artificial intelligence program for implementing AI players participating in the game when the game is in progress. In other words, each AI player may include an artificial intelligence model, i.e., a program, and may operate so that up to 7 AI players participate in the game when the game is in progress. Of course, the AI players may learn game data related to baccarat, blackjack, and roulette in advance for dealer training. The AI players may understand the rules of each game through this process. The AI players may react in various ways based on the learning results of the game data. In other words, unlike existing games, when input data values come in, output values are not output according to a set scenario, i.e., rules, but each AI player may exercise different options (or actions) for the same input conditions. The AI players can be seen as creating a situation similar to that in which users play the game in an actual casino. The AI players may all react differently to the same situation currently in progress in the game. Of course, it may be possible to react in the same way. For the same input, each AI player can be seen to implement different actions on the screen by producing different output values through different hidden layers (or hidden layers).

In this process, the dealer education unit (320) can collect sensing data on the interface operations of users participating in the game, such as beginner dealers, and analyze them. For example, a beginner dealer can implement the PICK, DRAG & DROP, SPREAD & MERGE interfaces of casino chips, and can implement the DRAW, DISCARD, DRAG&DROP, SPREAD & MERGE interfaces of cards. The dealer education unit (320) can be considered to sense these interface operations. Through this, the dealer can calculate the score by analyzing the sensing data provided by the user terminal device (100) to see how quickly and accurately the dealer progresses the game during the game. In this process, the dealer education unit (320) conducts a time trial-style game during the game.

For example, the dealer education department (320) can know the time at which the game screen is implemented on the screen of the user terminal device (100). This is because the user terminal device (100) can provide the dealer education department (320) with the time information about the completion of the implementation of a specific game screen. In addition, after a specific situation of the game is implemented on the game screen, the location and time information when the game is touched, i.e., interfaced on the screen, by the beginner dealer can be obtained. The user terminal device (100) can provide the location and time information to the dealer education department (320). Accordingly, the dealer education department (320) can know which location on the screen the beginner dealer touched and when the touch was made, and thus the beginner dealer's training proficiency can be measured based on this sensing data.

Of course, the dealer education department (320) can perform various actions in addition to this. The BGM (Backround Music) and sound effects to be used in the game can be implemented by purchasing resources provided by the ordering company and playing them in the game. Various effects such as a combo effect and a popcorn acquisition effect can be produced when consecutive successes occur, and since these actions are already reflected in the program, that is, when game content is produced, it can be operated so that the effect is produced when a specific condition is met during the game process.

Meanwhile, the dealer education department (320) can implement paid in-app items to achieve in-app sales, and can operate to allow each user to view advertisements an average of 7 times by linking the Google Admob ID provided by the orderer for advertisement monetization. The number of advertisements implemented for each user on a specific user's terminal device or during game play can be counted, and a calculation algorithm can be installed and executed for this purpose. Of course, the dealer education department (320) operates to require viewing of advertisements by advertisers, but it can remove all advertisements in the game. In other words, even if advertisement data is inserted and provided in the game, the advertisement data can be determined and the implementation of the advertisement can be prevented.

The storage unit (330) can temporarily store various types of data or information processed under the control of the control unit (310). For example, the user terminal device (100) can provide sensing data related to the interface of a beginner dealer who is playing the game during the game, and the storage unit (330) can store the data and then provide it to the dealer training unit (320) for data analysis.

In addition to the above, the communication interface unit (300), control unit (310), dealer education unit (320), and storage unit (330) of Fig. 3 can perform various operations, and since other detailed information has been sufficiently explained above, such information will be used instead.

The communication interface unit (300), the control unit (310), the dealer education unit (320), and the storage unit (330) of FIG. 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention are configured as hardware modules that are physically separated from each other, but each module may store software for performing the above operations therein and execute the same. However, the software is a collection of software modules, and each module may be formed of hardware, so there will be no particular limitation on the configuration, such as software or hardware. For example, the storage unit (330) may be hardware, such as storage or memory. However, since it is also possible to store information (repository) in a software manner, there will be no particular limitation on the above.

Meanwhile, as another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit (310) may include a CPU and a memory, and may be formed as a single chip. The CPU may include a control circuit, an operation unit (ALU), a command interpretation unit, and a registry, and the memory may include a RAM. The control circuit may perform a control operation, the operation unit may perform an operation of binary bit information, and the command interpretation unit may include an interpreter or a compiler to convert a high-level language into machine language and vice versa, and the registry may be involved in software data storage. According to the above configuration, for example, at the beginning of the operation of the dealer education device (120), the program stored in the dealer education unit (320) may be copied and loaded into the memory, that is, the RAM, and then executed, thereby rapidly increasing the data operation processing speed. In the case of a deep learning model, it may be loaded into the GPU memory instead of the RAM and executed by accelerating the execution speed using the GPU.

Figure 4 is a drawing for explaining the main character of the game for training dealing duties, and Figures 5 to 6d are drawings for explaining the costume shop as the main item. And Figure 7 is a drawing for explaining the cash and point shop.

The account you first log in to can decide on its gender and nickname on the character creation screen. There is no set name for the character, and the user can choose one at will. Characters do not have any special functions other than their appearance.

Also, as can be seen in Fig. 5, you can purchase costumes in the costume shop by using goods (e.g., points, etc.) obtained during gameplay. The currently worn costume is indicated by an E mark, and a check mark indicates a costume that has been purchased. As seen in Fig. 5, you can move between costume categories with the four buttons a to d on the right. Fig. 6a shows moving to the appearance category, Fig. 6b shows moving to the top category, Fig. 6c shows moving to the bottom category, and Fig. 6d shows moving to the shoe category, respectively.

Figure 7 (a) shows a cash shop, and Figure 7 (b) shows a point shop. You can purchase diamonds or hearts in the cash shop. Diamonds are goods that can be purchased with cash, and can be used to purchase items such as appearances and costumes in the game. Hearts are goods that can be purchased with other goods in the game (e.g., diamonds, popcorn), and can be used to recharge action points. You can purchase rare items in the point shop using popcorn given during the game. Here, popcorn is a goods that cannot be purchased, and refers to a point-based goods that is given with a certain probability when accurately performing in-game missions.

Figure 13 is a flow chart showing the operation process of a dealer training device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

For convenience of explanation, referring to FIG. 13 together with FIG. 1, the dealer training device (120) of FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention stores dealing training game content that is configured based on an artificial intelligence learning module for a training course related to dealer dealing job training (S1300). The game content corresponds to dealing training game content including a training course that is configured based on an artificial intelligence (AI) learning module without a specified scenario related to the training course.

In other words, the game content according to the embodiment of the present invention can be seen as being implemented based on artificial intelligence. For example, when a dealer proceeds with a game, up to three AI players participate in the game on the screen. Each AI player can be seen as participating in the game after having learned the game rules related to baccarat, roulette, and blackjack in advance. Each AI player can be seen as an AI model that performs different actions according to each judgment regarding the same situation during the game.

In addition, the dealer training device (120) can conduct the game in a time trial format by executing the dealing training game content on the user's user terminal device (100) to conduct job training, and by having multiple AI players participate in the game and measuring the user's speed and accuracy according to the AI player's game, and earning points (S1300). In other words, the dealer training device (120) collects sensing data related to the interface of a beginner dealer playing the game during the game process, and can measure the speed and accuracy of the dealer on the current game screen based on this. Speed can be measured by measuring the time of the interface after the game screen is implemented, and accuracy can be considered as determining whether the accurate movement implemented on the screen is performed based on the location information where the touch is made on the screen implemented in relation to the game. Of course, the judgment of the accurate movement here can be made by pre-storing data related to a specific movement, in other words, reference data that can or must be performed in relation to the job as a dealer in the game, and comparing it with the data.

In addition, the dealer training device (120) can allow dealers using the user terminal device (100) to view a specified number of advertisements when executing game content for advertising monetization, but can block advertisements within the game from being provided. For example, when advertisement data is inserted within the game, it can be determined and actions such as deleting the advertisement data, filtering it, or stopping the advertisement pop-up can be performed.

In addition to the above, the dealer training device (120) of Fig. 1 can perform various operations, and other detailed information has been sufficiently explained above, so that information will be used instead.

That is, within the scope of the purpose of the present invention, all of the components may be selectively combined and operated one or more times. In addition, although all of the components may be implemented as independent hardware, some or all of the components may be selectively combined and implemented as a computer program having program modules that perform some or all of the functions of the combined hardware in one or more pieces. The codes and code segments constituting the computer program may be easily inferred by a person skilled in the art of the present invention. Such a computer program may be stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium and read and executed by a computer, thereby implementing the embodiments of the present invention.

Here, the non-transitory readable storage medium means a medium that semi-permanently stores data and can be read by a device, rather than a medium that stores data for a short period of time, such as a register, cache, or memory. Specifically, the above-described programs can be stored and provided on a non-transitory readable storage medium, such as a CD, DVD, hard disk, Blu-ray disk, USB, memory card, or ROM.
