Patent number: 9089778Abstract: A server device executes one battle by spending the spending parameter in response to a player's operational input, and recovers the spending parameter by using a recovery item owned by the player. The server device calculates the total number of recovery items used to recover the spending parameter when one battle is fought for a plurality of times while repeating spending and recovering the spending parameter in response to operational inputs from the player until a hit point parameter of the enemy character is brought to less than or equal to a value. In response to one special operational input from the player, the server device determines whether the number of recovery items owned by the player is greater than or equal to the total number of recovery items calculated. When the determination is affirmative, the total number of recovery items calculated is automatically used from among the recovery items.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2014Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: DeNA Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yu Sasaki, Sadaaki Satsuma, Akihito Suga, Keisuke Kamiyama, Satoshi Kagami, Keisuke Kurita, Junichi Kusumoto, Shinichiro Nonaka
