Publication number: 20240017176Abstract: A game system acquires the sleep information of a user and a game that uses the sleep information can be advanced even in a situation where the sleep information cannot be measured appropriately. The game system includes processing circuitry configured to acquire the sleep information of the user, generate modified sleep information with respect to at least a part of the sleep information by modifying the sleep information on the basis of sleep information having different content to the sleep information. When the modified sleep information has not been generated, the processing circuitry determines a first effect of the game on the basis of the sleep information, and when the modified sleep information has been generated, the processing circuitry determines a second effect, the second effect differing from the first effect, on the basis of the modified sleep information.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: The Pokémon CompanyInventors: Kaname KOSUGI, Yuki TERADA, Marie SHUTO, Koya NAKAHATA, Takumi TSUKADA, Keisuke MIYAGAWA
