Patent number: 10493362Abstract: A game device includes a memory that stores a predetermined value and a processor that subtracts a value corresponding to a game action in a game from the predetermined value while the game action is executed and outputs the subtracted predetermined value to the memory. The processor also increases, as time passes, the predetermined value of which an upper limit is an upper limit value and outputs the increased predetermined value to the memory. When the processor detects payment of a fee or use of a game item obtained by the payment, the processor adds a first value to the predetermined value that exceeds the restoration upper limit value and outputs, to the memory, the predetermined value to which the first value is added. The first value is greater than a second value that is added to the predetermined value being under the upper limit value.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2017Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Sega GamesInventors: Tomio Kikuchi, Daisuke Kubota, Ryotaro Okamoto

Publication number: 20190192973Abstract: An information processing device includes a memory, a transceiver receiving an input from a terminal device operated by a player in a game, and a controller. The memory stores usage frequency of game media used by players for each of the game media, game media in a possessed state for each of the players, a quantity of game items owned by each of the players, first and second quantities of game items for each of the game media. The input causes the game media in the possessed state to be put into a non-possessed state. The controller puts the game media into the possessed state upon detecting consumption of the first quantity from the quantity. The controller adds the second quantity to the quantity upon detecting the input. The controller determines the first and second quantities.
