Patents by Inventor Koshi WATAMURA

Koshi WATAMURA has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10307679
    Abstract: The present invention causes a computer to function as a virtual space generating unit, a game screen displaying unit and a fluid displaying unit. A fluid displaying unit displays pseudo three-dimensional representation of fluid in virtual space on a game screen. And the fluid displaying includes a model setting unit, a polygon mesh setting unit and a fluid setting unit. The model setting unit sets a predetermined linear model on the virtual space and moves a basis portion of the linear model to a predetermined direction, and moves the linear model to follow virtual points which are shot from the basis portion at intervals and which move to follow a predetermined track including the basis portion as a starting point.

  • Patent number: 10272337
    Abstract: The present invention causes a computer to function as a virtual space generating unit, a game screen displaying unit and a fluid displaying unit. A fluid displaying unit displays pseudo three-dimensional representation of fluid in virtual space on a game screen. And the fluid displaying includes a billboard setting unit and a two-dimensional simulation unit. A billboard setting unit sets a billboard which has a plain object and which rotates around a predetermined center point in the plain object so that the plain object faces the virtual camera in the virtual space. A two-dimensional simulation unit executes a two-dimensional simulation and displays a simulation result on the plain object.

  • Patent number: 10275936
    Abstract: The present invention causes a computer to function as a virtual space generating unit, a game screen displaying unit, a billboard setting unit, a data acquiring unit and a transmittance setting unit. The billboard setting unit sets a billboard which has a plain object and which rotates around a predetermined center point in the plain object so that the plain object faces the virtual camera in the virtual space. The data acquiring unit acquires drawing data of the object and two-dimensional-thickness map data, the two-dimensional thickness map data showing relationship between a two-dimensional coordinate on the object shown on the billboard and thickness information on each position coordinate of the object. The transmittance setting unit sets transmittance of light from a light source in the virtual space based on the thickness information.
