  • Publication number: 20240350911
    Abstract: An example of an information processing system causes a player object to exit a game stage at least when the player object satisfies an exit condition as a result of an attack by an enemy object. After the player object exits from the game stage, (a) when a first condition is satisfied, the information processing system returns the player object based on a designated position that is specified by a return input of a first type, which is a position in a first area of the game stage, and (b) when a second condition different from the first condition is satisfied, the information processing system returns the player object based on a designated position that is specified by a return input of a second type, which is a position of a movement target object arranged on the game stage.

  • Patent number: 12039753
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a first acquisition section, a second acquisition section, and a determination section. The first acquisition section acquires a camera-based position indicating a position of a real object, the camera-based position being determined on the basis of a captured image of a real space in which there exists the real object. The second acquisition section acquires an output-wave-based estimation position indicating the position of the real object, the output-wave-based estimation position being determined on the basis of an output wave that is output to the real space from a position that corresponds to the real object. The determination section determines a reference position used to represent virtual content related to the real object, on the basis of the camera-based position and the output-wave-based estimation position.

  • Publication number: 20240042327
    Abstract: A first appearance region for a first group is set at or near a center of a game stage. A second and a third appearance region for a second and a third group are set closer to respective end portions of the game stage than the first appearance region is. A character is caused to perform an action more advantageously in a game when the character is in a region rendered in a color relating to the group to which the character belongs than when the character is not in the region. It is determined that the first group is a winner in a game when a first condition is satisfied based on actions performed by the characters, and that the second and third groups are a winner in the game when a second condition is satisfied based on actions performed by the characters.

  • Publication number: 20230044065
    Abstract: A competitive game in which a user and an opponent participate is executed, and a rating based on a match record of the competitive game is stored. When an update condition that, after last update, the user wins the competitive game a predetermined number of times that is two or more or the user loses the competitive game a predetermined number of times that is two or more, is satisfied, a temporary change amount of a rating parameter is calculated on the basis of a match record of each competitive game until the update condition is satisfied this time after the last update. If the temporary change amount is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold, the temporary change amount is determined as a change amount of the rating parameter, and if the temporary change amount is less than the predetermined threshold, the threshold is determined as a change amount of the rating parameter, and the rating is updated.
