Publication number: 20230191256Abstract: An example of a server receives first event data from an information processing apparatus. The server stores therein event management data including event state information that indicates whether a second event has already occurred or has not yet occurred. When receiving a request from the information processing apparatus, the server transmits at least one piece of second event data to the information processing apparatus. The at least one piece of second event data includes second event data based on event management data in which the event state information indicates that the second event has already occurred and/or second event data to be transmitted when the second event data stored in the first storage area is insufficient. Upon receiving the third event data indicating that the second event has occurred, the server updates the event state information so as to indicate that the second event has already occurred.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicants: Nintendo Co., Ltd., The Pokémon CompanyInventors: Shinnosuke MIKI, Noritaka OTSUKA, Kazuto SHIMIZU, Kojiro TAGUCHI

Patent number: 9654457Abstract: A non-limiting example game system includes a game apparatus which is stored with various kinds of application programs. When an application program for a specific service such as a television program guide (program guide program) is started, prior to an acquisition of a content (webpage), an authentication of the game apparatus is performed, and a white list which records a domain name accessible by the game apparatus (the program guide program) is acquired from a managing server which is controlled by a provider of the television program guide. In the program guide program, it is determined whether or not a domain name described in URL of the webpage appears in the white list when a request to send the webpage is to be sent. If not appeared in the white list, the program guide program is suspended, and a web browser is activated to send the request to send the webpage.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2013Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: NINTENDO CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoji Kamikawa, Taiyo Hara, Makoto Takano, Kojiro Taguchi, Hirokazu Shimaoka, Yuya Ono
