Patent number: 11813525Abstract: A computer device provides a computer implemented game. The user interface of the computer device receives a first user input to control the movement of a game entity along a path in the computer game. The computer device determines, based on the first user input which is associated with a default movement of the game entity along the path and information about at first and second obstacles on the path, that the game entity is to move with an extended movement instead of the default movement. This is to allow both the first and second obstacles to be navigated in response to the first user input such that the game entity continues to move along the path.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: KING.COM LTD.Inventors: Stephen Jarrett, Po Chi Chui, Patrik Swartz

Patent number: 10795534Abstract: A method of modifying a transparency factor of one or more objects in a computer game. A display of a computer device displays a first object having a transparency factor at a first location, said first object overlying at least one of a plurality of game objects. In response to a trigger event at least one of said transparency factor of the first object, a transparency factor of a game pointer, and a transparency factor of at least one game object are modified and at least one of said first object, said game pointer, and said at least one game object are displayed with said at least one modified transparency factor.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2019Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: KING.COM LTD.Inventors: Ignacio Pintos Magdalena, Patrik Swartz

Patent number: 9875020Abstract: A touch screen device is configured to provide outputs responsive to inputs provided by a user interacting with the touch screen. The outputs are processed by processing circuitry to determine touch locations of consecutive taps. If the latter tap is within a threshold area of the former tap the action performed in response to the former tap is repeated. In the latter tap is not within a threshold area of the subsequent tap, the action performed in response to the former tap is different to the action performed in response to the subsequent tap.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2015Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: KING.COM LTD.Inventors: Fernando Claros De Luna, Patrik Swartz

Patent number: 9766768Abstract: A method of controlling a user interface having a display area comprising a plurality of game objects. The user interface also displays at least one other object, such as, for example, a displayed score. In a situation where the object at least partially overlay and at least partially obscures at least one of the game objects, then in response to a trigger condition a display characteristic of the object is modified to improve visibility of the at least one displayed game object. The trigger condition is, in one example, detecting user input associated with the at least one game object. The display characteristic of the object is, in one example, a transparency factor of the object. Therefore, it can be ensured that elements or information can be made visible to a user, as required.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2014Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: KING.COM LIMITEDInventors: Patrik Swartz, Ignacio Pintos Magdalena
