Patent number: 8527553Abstract: Ghost data used for reproducing a game process executed by user operations are transmitted from game apparatuses to a data management apparatus. The data management apparatus stores the received ghost data, according to a definition of a database in which score sections are defined based on a value represented by score data, and a maximum registration allowable number of users for which the ghost data are registered is defined for each of the score sections, or is defined so as to be the same among the score sections. The data management apparatus transmits, when a ghost data distribution request is received, the ghost data for at least one user for which the ghost data is registered so as to be associated with one of the score sections, the scores section being associated with the score data included in the ghost data distribution request, to the one of the game apparatuses.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2011Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Nintendo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kosuke Yabuki, Katsuhito Nishimura, Tokihiko Toyoda, Tetsuya Nakata, Yusuke Shiraiwa, Shigetoshi Kitayama, Jun Ito

Icons for identifying the plurality of pieces of result data are displayed on the distribution chart. When one of the icons displayed on the distribution chart is selected by a user, a process associated with the result data represented by the one of the icons having been selected is executed. Therefore, the distribution chart which includes a plurality of pieces of data as elements and is based on a predetermined index is displayed, and an interactive operation using the distribution chart can be realized.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2012Publication date: July 12, 2012Applicant: NINTENDO CO., LTD.Inventors: Kosuke YABUKI, Tokihiko TOYODA, Tetsuya NAKATA, Yusuke SHIRAIWA, Shigetoshi KITAYAMA, Jun ITO

Patent number: 7750893Abstract: An input position processing program detects a series of pieces of position data based on input positions outputted from a pointing device, and defines a reference position. When the last piece of position data indicates a point within a defined area other than a reference area, an operation is to be performed determined based on a direction that extends from the reference position to the defined area indicated by the last piece of position data. When an intermediate piece of position data indicates a point within a defined area other than the reference area and the last piece of position data indicates a point within the reference area, the operation to be performed is determined based on the combination of directions representing a reciprocal movement between the reference position and the defined area indicated by the intermediate piece of position data.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2005Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Nintendo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideyuki Hashimoto, Shigetoshi Kitayama
