  • Patent number: 11302151
    Abstract: A game apparatus includes at least one processor, and a memory that is coupled to the at least one processor and configured to store therein instructions executed by the at least one processor. In the game apparatus, based on the instructions, the at least one processor is configured to select, by lottery, at least one lottery element from among lottery elements including a specific lottery element in an event, award a player a reward when the specific lottery element is selected, and change, based on a result of the lottery in the event, a probability of selecting the specific lottery element in a next event.

  • Patent number: 10999490
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes an imaging control device, an imaging control method, and an imaging apparatus. The imaging control device includes a focus detection control circuitry configured to determine whether a setting area includes a portion of a dedicated phase difference detection sensor, the setting area being in a photographing range of an imaging unit. The focus detection control circuitry is further configured to set one or more ranging areas of an image plane phase difference detection sensor to one or more first ranging areas in response to determining that the setting area does not include the portion of the dedicated phase difference detection sensor.

  • Patent number: 10424165
    Abstract: A game system includes a lottery mechanism that selects some numbers out of a plurality of numbers, and controls values in each of a plurality of cells M11 through M44 displayed upon a game screen in a plurality of stages, on the basis of selections by the lottery mechanism, wherein: correlation between the selections by the lottery mechanism and the control of the values of the cells M are set so as to be mutually different between at least two of the stages; the values of the cells are controlled for each stage on the basis of the selection by the lottery mechanism and the correlation of the stage; and when change to a different stage is performed, the values of the cells after the change are set on the basis of the value of the cells before the change.
