  • Publication number: 20240082732
    Abstract: Movement control of a player character in a field in a virtual space is performed based on a user's operation input. At least one first type of object is disposed in the field. Lightness for the first type of object is set such that the first type of object is visually recognized even when the field is dark. When the player character satisfies a first condition at a location where one of the at least one first type of object is disposed, lighting is set in the virtual space such that a range in the field including the location is lighter than before the first condition is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 11927521
    Abstract: An analysis threshold determination device includes a threshold determination unit for determining a pair of or plural pairs of thresholds used for analysis in accordance with a pair of thresholds generated by a calculation unit and a count value output from a pulse count unit. The calculation unit repeatedly generates a new pair of thresholds in which at least one of the pair of thresholds is changed every time the pulse count unit counts the pulse until reaching a predetermined value. The threshold determination unit chooses a class of a measure of central tendency according to a frequency distribution defining each pair of thresholds generated as a class and the count value output from the pulse count unit as a frequency. The threshold determination unit determines a pair of or plural pairs of thresholds corresponding to a class of a predetermined range from the class of measure of central tendency.
