Patent number: 8292711Abstract: There is provided a moving picture processing device (100) that has a display unit (120), a main processor (150), a display control unit (160), and a main memory (180). Using an overall-moving-picture data item stored in the main memory (180), the display control unit (160) and the display unit (120) play the overall moving picture (AM1), whereby a plurality of sectional moving pictures (SM11 to SM14) is displayed. In other words, displaying one moving picture enables a plurality of moving pictures to be displayed. Therefore, by using the moving picture processing device (100), it is possible to simultaneously display more moving pictures than those determined depending on the device's capacity to play moving pictures.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2007Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shuichi Kura

Publication number: 20120220366Abstract: Disclosed is a game system which is capable of matching the replay range with the replay fee, even when the replay range is set to a portion of the played range. A game system allows a user to play the game in the predetermined range when an initial fee is collected from the user, and sets the play fee necessary for playing the game in the replay range according to the setting of the replay range. After the game is over in the predetermined range, the replay process is performed for allowing the user to play the game in the replay range, on the condition that the set play fee is collected from the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2010Publication date: August 30, 2012Inventors: Hisayoshi Takayama, Hiroshi Fukuda, Tsuyoshi Okino, Yuma Takafuji, Takashi Ito, Shuichi Kura, Ryo Mahara, Kenichiro Shioda, Shinnosuke Miki, Kohei Kawauchi, Eiichi Yoshioka, Masahiro Saito, Noriaki Nis Nishimura, Ayumi Ishizawa

Publication number: 20100048274Abstract: The present invention provides a game system (1) having plural game terminals (10) and a server device (40). In each game terminal (10), processor (150) asks a quiz question, receives an answer, and generates quiz result data indicating a quiz question ID of the quiz question and whether the answer to the question was correct, for transmission to the server device (40). Server device (40) has stored therein, for each quiz question, calculation mandatory data. Processor (410) of the server device receives quiz result data from each game terminal (10) to update the calculation mandatory data, calculates an accuracy rate using the latest calculation mandatory data, and transmits to each game terminal (10) a do-not-ask list indicating a quiz question ID of a quiz question for which the accuracy rate is outside an adequate range determined in advance.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2008Publication date: February 25, 2010Inventors: Shuichi Kura, Yohei Marufuji
