  • Patent number: 11872489
    Abstract: A set of levels of a game is displayed and a user selection of one of the levels detected. It is determined that the user is partaking in a fragment collection event, the fragment collection event defining a set of collection conditions, and that one of the collection conditions is satisfied. Fragments are assigned to the user, the fragments having no utility within a game environment, wherein only one collection condition can be satisfied per level selection. A fragment count is stored, where assigning the one or more fragments to the user comprises incrementing the fragment count associated with the user by a predefined amount associated with the satisfied collection condition. When the fragment count is equal to or greater than a threshold fragment count, the fragment count is decreased by an amount equal to the threshold fragment count and a utility object assigned to the user.
