It can be input as learning data into an artificial intelligence algorithm for player level calculation that manages and categorizes players' levels. Accordingly, the artificial intelligence algorithm can generate an output value that classifies the level for each player, and can distinguish the player's level according to the output value.

As such, the present invention does not simply calculate the level of players according to the result of winning or losing the game, but relates to at least one of attack success/failure rate, opponent player level, score difference, stability of the shuttlecock trajectory, and the speed of the shuttlecock, that is, the game's It can be calculated by considering the game factors other than the win/loss result in a complex way.

Accordingly, the present invention can match players who more precisely match various matching conditions desired by players because other game factors other than the result of victory or defeat can be used as matching criteria in matching players.

In one embodiment, the player's level may be divided into A, B, C, and D stages according to the level calculated in consideration of the above factors, except for the beginner stage, and the result of the artificial intelligence algorithm for calculating the player level can be calculated as a subdivided result even within steps A to D.

Specifically, even if the level calculated by comprehensively considering the player's game record, attack success/failure rate, opponent's level, win/loss result, score difference, shuttlecock trajectory stability and shuttlecock speed is level C, it is determined in advance for each element. For a technical element that exceeds the standard, the level of the technical element may be further indicated in detail to indicate that it is the player's main skill.

In addition, the player level calculator 113 may continuously learn the artificial intelligence algorithm based on the match result and replace the new version of the algorithm with improved performance by learning.
