Patent number: 11918902Abstract: A computer implemented method for controlling a game play. The method includes rendering a game view on a display of a computing device, the game view including a first area and a second area; displaying one or more first objects in the first area, the one or more first objects configured to execute one or more actions in the first area, the one or more actions being executed at a first execution speed; detecting a selection of a second object in the second area of the display; and changing an execution speed of the one or more actions being executed by the one or more first objects in the first area to a second execution speed while it is detected that the second object is selected.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Supercell OyInventors: Rauli Laatikainen, Patrick Corander

Publication number: 20240069704Abstract: An electronic device includes a display, a timer and computing hardware configured to execute a software product. Execution of the software product results in generating and rendering a graphical user interface on the display with four or more user-selectable graphical objects. Selection of a first user-selectable graphical object at a first spatial position on the graphical user interface and a movement of the selected first user-selectable graphical object along a path towards a second user-selectable graphical object at a second spatial position is detected and a position of the first user-selectable graphical object is exchanged with the position of the second user-selectable graphical object. If, during a predetermined time period, a selection of a third user-selectable graphical object and a movement of the third user-selectable graphical object towards a fourth user-selectable graphical object is detected, the positions of the third and fourth objects is exchanged.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Supercell OyInventors: Mikko Kodisoja, Antti Mattila, Riku Rikala, Chih-Han Hsu, Drussila Hollanda, Patrick Corander

Publication number: 20230119727Abstract: An apparatus and a method for game control. A graphical user interface is generated and displayed on a display screen. The graphical user interface presents at least one user-controllable object and at least one target object. A user is enabled to provide a user input to control a movement of the at least one user-controllable object within the graphical user interface. A predetermined area is identified around the at least one user-controllable object in the graphical user interface. It is detected whether or not the at least one target object lies within the predetermined area in the graphical user interface. If it is detected that the at least one target object lies within the predetermined area, an action is executed on the at least one target object from the at least one user-controllable object.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Applicant: Supercell OyInventors: Jon Franzas, Touko Tahkokallio, Jonas Collaros, Patrick Corander, Rauli Laatikainen, Sergio Castaño

Patent number: 9836195Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display screen and a computing hardware which is operable to execute a software product, wherein executing the software product results in generating and rendering a graphical user interface on the display screen. When rendered, the graphical user interface presents four or more user-selectable graphical objects. Selecting and moving a first graphical object towards a second graphical object is configured to result in exchanging spatial positions of the first and second graphical objects. The exchange of the spatial positions is configured to trigger starting a timer and enabling, during a time set by the timer, selecting and moving at least a third graphical object towards a fourth graphical object. The moving the third graphical object towards the fourth graphical object is configured to result in exchanging spatial positions of the third and fourth graphical objects.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2014Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Supercell OyInventors: Mikko Kodisoja, Antti Mattila, Riku Rikala, Chih-Han Hsu, Drussila Hollanda, Patrick Corander
