  • Patent number: 11925865
    Abstract: A non-limiting example game system includes a processor incorporated in a main body apparatus, and the processor makes a first index image move toward an upper end from a lower end in a movement gauge in a parameter determination screen when a player starts a second parameter determination operation. When the first index image is stopped according to an operation of the player, a hitting power for a ball is determined based on the stopped position. Moreover, if the first index image is stopped, a second index image is moved up to a position that the first index image is stopped from the lower end in the movement gauge. The player performs a direction input during a direction input period that is a period of time that the second index image is being moved. Then, a trajectory after the ball starts moving is changed in a direction based on the direction input.

  • Publication number: 20230382387
    Abstract: A driving control device controls driving of a subject vehicle so that front-rear acceleration of the subject vehicle when traveling along a curved route becomes an acceleration upper limit or less. Provided that a merging point exists in a certain section on the downstream side of the curved route, when the distance between the position of the subject vehicle traveling along the curved route and the merging point is a predetermined distance or less, the control device sets the acceleration upper limit to a corrected acceleration upper limit that is higher than a reference acceleration upper limit when the merging point does not exist in the certain section.

  • Patent number: 11707678
    Abstract: A non-limiting example game system includes a processor incorporated in a main body apparatus, and the processor makes a player character hit a ball according to an operation of a player. A movement gauge is displayed in a parameter determination screen, and the movement gauge includes a belt-shaped basic area and a risk area outside the basic area. A first index image is moved inside the basic area, and a hitting power is determined at a position that the movement is stopped by an operation of the player. The hitting power affects a flight distance of a ball. After the hitting power is determined, a position of a deviation indication image displayed along the first index image is determined at random. A deviation amount is made larger as the deviation indication image is moved away from the center of the first index image. The risk area is enlarged toward an upper end of the movement gauge. That is, if the flight distance of the ball is made longer, the deviation amount may become larger.
