Patent number: 11931648Abstract: The present invention allows stress of a user that may occur until matching is completed when carrying out matching of a plurality of users with each other to be reduced. The users are arranged by taking into consideration a waiting time of a user who has never cleared content. When the user carries out a play request for content, the user is arranged in the content. The content in which the user is arranged is extracted by using an extraction condition regarding the waiting time of a non-cleared user. The plurality of users arranged in the content are thus matched.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignees: SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD., SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD.Inventors: Jun Takemura, Yoshinori Aoyagi, Mitsutoshi Gondai, Tsuyoshi Yokozawa

Patent number: 11278804Abstract: The present invention allows a processing load for carrying out matching of a plurality of users who satisfy a predetermined condition with each other to be reduced. The user is arranged for every attribute to carry out the matching. The plurality of users thus matched is allowed to play content together. Users with different attributes may alternately stand in a line in which the users are arranged. Further, the users are arranged by inputting a play request for content. Only selection of a condition of the content may be sufficient for the play request.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD.Inventors: Jun Takemura, Yoshinori Aoyagi, Jun Yoshihara, Mitsutoshi Gondai

Publication number: 20190001220Abstract: It becomes possible to improve interest in or the taste of a video game in which a plurality of players who constitute a party cooperates with each other to solve various tasks. A user who satisfies a predetermined condition defined in advance is set to a beginner. A user who satisfies a specific condition defined in advance is set to a leader. A privilege is given to at least a part of a plurality of users who constitute a party including the leader and the beginner among parties each of which is constituted by a plurality of users.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2016Publication date: January 3, 2019Applicant: SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshinori AOYAGI, Mitsuru KAWAHARA, Mitsuru NAKASHIMA

Patent number: 6831726Abstract: In a liquid crystal display panel, by adhering the TFT substrate 1 to the color filter (CF) substrate 2 such that the repeating direction of thickness distribution or irregularity distribution of the TFT substrate 1 becomes orthogonal to the repeating direction of thickness distribution or irregularity distribution of the CF substrate 2, a distance between a point at which the thick portion of the TFT substrate 1 overlaps on the thick portion of the CF substrate 2 and a point at which the thin portion of the TFT substrate 1 and the thin portion of the CF substrate 2 are overlapped becomes larger than that in a case where the substrates are adhered each other with the repeating directions thereof being trued up. Therefore, the factor defective of the liquid crystal display panel caused by the overlapping of the thick portions and the overlapping of the thin portions of the substrates, that is, the factor defective of the liquid crystal display panel caused by variation of display, can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2001Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: NEC LCD Technologies, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinori Aoyagi, Yuji Tanaka, Hironori Shiba
