  • Publication number: 20240173624
    Abstract: A game control method, game server, and program can increase variations on methods for acquiring items, increase the predictability of acquisition of an item with a high rarity value or the like, and heighten interest in the game. Included are the steps of presenting a communication terminal, connected over a communication line, with acquirable item information that, for each item type, includes a total count and an acquisition count or a non-acquisition count of items when receiving, from the communication terminal, a request to present information related to items acquirable by the communication terminal, determining an item to provide to the communication terminal when receiving an item acquisition request from the communication terminal, and changing the acquirable item information when receiving a reset request from the communication terminal.

  • Patent number: 11179905
    Abstract: A method and device for manufacturing the tire are provided. For each tire obtained by feeding green tires having an identical specification into an identical vulcanizer, using an arrangement mechanism, with circumferential positions of the green tires varied with respect to the vulcanizer and vulcanizing the green tires, a storage unit stores characteristic value data of at least one of a UF or DB value and feed position data identifying the circumferential position of the green tires, a calculation unit calculates, based on the stored data, the circumferential position of the green tires with respect to the vulcanizer at which a characteristic value related to the characteristic value data is brought within a tolerance range, and feeding using the arrangement mechanism, into the vulcanizer, the green tire to be newly vulcanized while adjusting the green tire to the circumferential position with respect to the vulcanizer being calculated.
