Patent number: 8109831Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a game server that can simulate the sensation of competing in a game against an actually existing specific person. The game server of the present invention offers a plurality of options for the actions that gamer A can select in game scenes that change along with the progress of a soccer game. The options include dribble (long), dribble (short), pass in front of the player, pass to the foot of the player, wait, and shoot. The action patterns of gamer A are stored for each game scene by counting the number of times each option is selected. The game server refers to the stored action patterns when playing against another gamer B. This configuration makes it possible for the gamer B to have a virtual experience as if he were competing with the gamer A.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2010Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha SegaInventors: Hiroshi Kataoka, Hiroshi Masui, Yusuke Shimizu, Takeshi Maruyama, Masayuki Ao

Patent number: 7066387Abstract: A service ticket issuing system and service ticket issuing service are implemented by various communication terminals. A plurality of game devices 1001 to 100n are connected to the Internet IN, and the Internet IN is connected to a data supply center DSC which issues service tickets. The data supply center DSC is connected to a plurality of service providers SSC1 to SSCm via a communication line. For example, a user of the game device 1001 brings a backup memory 1131 with data of the service ticket stored therein to any of service providers SSC1, and presents the data to the service provider SSC1.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2001Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha SegaInventors: Yoshihiro Itoh, Toshitake Mashiko, Akihiko Yamada, Masayuki Ao

Patent number: 6718058Abstract: When a car turns, a visual point position CP and a sight line direction T are moved (from CP′ to CP and from T′ to T) in accordance with a turning angle of the car, and a displacement u of the visual point position (CP″) is made different from a displacement v of the sight line direction (T″). A ratio of the visual point position displacement u to the sight line direction displacement v is about 1:5.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2002Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Sega EnterprisesInventors: Ryuji Ochi, Takeshi Yamazaki, Hisaki Nimiya, Masayuki Ao, Katsu Oshida, Yasuhiro Hayashida, Taishi Yasuda
