  • Patent number: 8821279
    Abstract: A game server includes a storage that stores information representing a virtual space having two-dimensionally arranged virtual positions where virtual users can exist, a map-creating section creating a two-dimensional map by connecting a route between the virtual positions, a table that stores identification data of a virtual user existing at each virtual position, a data-transmitting section transmitting two-dimensional-map-image data to a network-connected terminal, a data-receiving section receiving operation data from the terminal, a position-changing section changing the virtual position of the virtual user to a destination virtual position when accumulated points become or exceeds required points, and a data-updating section updating the identification data when the virtual position of the virtual user is changed.

  • Patent number: 8684836
    Abstract: A game server of the present disclosure comprises: a map data storing section that stores map data; a virtual position data table that stores identification data; a display process data transmitting section that transmits display process data; an operation data receiving section that receives operation data; a virtual user position changing section that changes a virtual user position; a data updating section that updates the identification data; a relationship building section that transmits relevant information regarding a virtual user other than a target virtual user; and an attribute information storing section. The relationship building section sets a screening area covering a predetermined distance from the virtual position of the target virtual user. Also, the relationship building section selects a virtual user with a higher level from among at least one other virtual user in the screening area and transmits relevant information regarding the other virtual user thus selected.

  • Patent number: 4504885
    Abstract: A switch board with a casing thereof supported on right and left vertical supports includes a conduction chamber and an upper and lower electricity chambers with a partition wall therebetween. A drawer-type electric device is adapted to operate into and out of the electricity chambers, so that a secondary movable plug of the drawer-type electric device is connected and disconnected to a secondary control stationary plug in each of the electricity chambers. Control lines are connected between the secondary control stationary plug and the control terminal in the upper electricity chamber.
