  • Patent number: 11957981
    Abstract: Provided is one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media including computer-program instructions, which when executed by a system, cause the system to: cause a terminal device to display, in a first area of a game screen of a game, a plurality of items associated with progress of the game in such a manner that at least some of the plurality of items are excluded from a first view; extract a specific item from the plurality of items, based on a status of the game; cause the terminal device to display, in the game screen, the specific item in a second area in the first view; and execute an operation based on an item selected from the plurality of items or the specific item.

  • Publication number: 20230251754
    Abstract: An image distribution device receives, from a terminal device, a handwritten and input image including a trajectory handwritten and inputted by a first user in a state where a virtual space, in which characters of the first and a second user are present, is set as a background, to a display view of the terminal device on which the virtual space is displayed. By transmitting, to the terminal device, the received handwritten and input image as a message from the first user, the image distribution device displays the handwritten and input image on the display view of the terminal device on which the virtual space is displayed while associating the handwritten and input image with the character of the first user.

  • Patent number: 11185778
    Abstract: Provided is a game program that can increase the strategic aspect of a battle event between groups. In the battle event, an image of a map M is first displayed on client devices, and the characters in the groups are placed in an initial arrangement. Turns are taken successively, and in each turn, the destination of movement by characters is selected, the characters move, and combat takes place between characters. During the battle event, it is determined whether a time limit set as the running time of the battle event has been reached. If so, position points P of the characters in the final arrangement on the map M at that point in time are tallied. Which one of the groups wins the battle event is determined based on the total number of position points P for each group.
