Patent number: 10500491Abstract: A user terminal pertaining to an embodiment of the present invention functions as a device that provides a game to a player. This user terminal initiates an auto mode in which the game proceeds automatically in response to a first operation in which a specific state of operation by the player is maintained and ends this auto mode in response to a second operation in which the specific state of operation by the player is cancelled. As a result, the start and end of the auto mode are realized by simple, continuous operations, and operations related to automatic progress of the game are facilitated.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: DENA CO., LTD.Inventor: Makoto Yamaguchi
