  • Storage medium, image-processing system, image-processing device, and image-processing method
    Patent number: 10748349
    Abstract: An image conversion unit according to an embodiment includes a gradation unit, a black line extraction unit, and a white line extraction unit. The gradation unit classifies a pixel of a pre-conversion image as one of four levels based on a brightness of the pixel, and expresses, in a color corresponding to the level as which the pixel has been classified, a corresponding pixel of a converted image. The black line extraction unit extracts pixels of an outline of an object in the pre-conversion image, and expresses corresponding pixels of the converted image in black. The white line extraction unit extracts pixels adjacent to an outline of an object in the pre-conversion image, and expresses corresponding pixels of the converted image in white.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2018
    Date of Patent: August 18, 2020
    Assignee: NINTENDO CO., LTD.
    Inventors: Satoshi Miyama, Yosuke Mori, Norihiro Aoyagi, Yuta Yamashita

  • Automatic movement of a game character in a protected state
    Patent number: 9364758
    Abstract: An information processing device is configured to execute: setting a protective state for protecting a character from a danger in a game; setting a moving direction of the character in the protective state to a predetermined direction; detecting that the character in the protective state is overlapping with an obstacle in a virtual world; and correcting the moving direction that has been set by the action setting when the obstacle is detected.
