Patent number: 9320973Abstract: A game data processing section 100 is provided with an item assessment section 41 and an event generation section 42. The item assessment section 41 assesses whether or not the number of pieces of a virtual item possessed by a virtual user is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value, extracts one type of virtual item from among virtual items possessed by the virtual user, and assesses whether or not the number of pieces of the one type of virtual item is equal to or more than the predetermined threshold value. The event generation section 42 generates an event in which the one type of virtual item can be consumed, when the item assessment section assesses the number of pieces of the one type of virtual item is equal to or more than the predetermined threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2014Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: GLOOPS, INC.Inventor: Chisato Aonuma

Patent number: 8684836Abstract: A game server of the present disclosure comprises: a map data storing section that stores map data; a virtual position data table that stores identification data; a display process data transmitting section that transmits display process data; an operation data receiving section that receives operation data; a virtual user position changing section that changes a virtual user position; a data updating section that updates the identification data; a relationship building section that transmits relevant information regarding a virtual user other than a target virtual user; and an attribute information storing section. The relationship building section sets a screening area covering a predetermined distance from the virtual position of the target virtual user. Also, the relationship building section selects a virtual user with a higher level from among at least one other virtual user in the screening area and transmits relevant information regarding the other virtual user thus selected.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2013Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: gloops, Inc.Inventor: Isao Yoshikawa
