In some examples, a user usage rate of the virtual space may be determined to measure an amount of time a user spend in the virtual space during a period of real-world time. Based on the determined user usage rate of the virtual space, crafting activity parameters may be determined, for example, to balance differences in time spent in the virtual space by the users. In some implementations, for such determinations of the crafting activity parameters, one or more user normalization standards may be obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2019Publication date: September 12, 2019Inventors: Matthew Curtis, James Koh, Kellen Christopher Smalley, Michael C.

Publication number: 20190275433Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable recording medium has stored thereon instructions to be executed on a computer providing terminal devices with a battle game in which users each operate a unit. The instructions cause the computer to perform the steps of: determining a unit parameter of each of a plurality of units, group information being associated with each unit and indicating a group, among a plurality of groups, to which the unit belongs; deploying the units on a field, divided into regions, in the battle game; varying the unit parameter of a first unit on the field based on the group information associated with the first unit and the group information associated with a second unit on the field, the second unit having a predetermined positional relationship with the first unit; and conducting a battle between the first unit and other units using the varied unit parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2019Publication date: September 12, 2019Applicant: GREE, Inc.Inventors: Nariaki WADA, Akira USAMI, Asuka KAWAMURA, Shuichi KURA, Taichi WAKABAYASHI, Taishun KO, Totaro NAKASHIMA

Publication number: 20190275436Abstract: The present disclosure includes embodiments directed to a reversible toy. The reversible toy may include a body including first and second material layers defining opposing first and second surfaces and a sealed cavity therebetween. The body may be reversible between first and second positions to alternatingly present the first and second surfaces as an outer body surface defining a body exterior. The other of the first and second surfaces may alternatingly define a stored body surface defining an interior cavity. The body exterior may define the same shape in both the first and second positions. An interior cavity opening may have a diameter. At least portions of the body may collapse through the opening when the body is moved between the first and second positions. The diameter may be defined by a stitched edge, which may define a terminal bottom edge of both the first and second material layers.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2019Publication date: September 12, 2019Inventor: Ramy Adly Badie

Publication number: 20190275437Abstract: The present disclosure includes embodiments directed to a reversible toy. The reversible toy may include a body including first and second material layers coupled by a retainer. The body may define an opening to an interior cavity. The body may be reversible between a first position and a second position by collapsing at least a portion of the body through the opening. In the first position, the first material layer may form an outer surface of the reversible toy and the second material layer may form an inner surface of the reversible toy. The inner surface may define the interior cavity. In the second position, the second material layer may form the outer surface of the reversible toy and the first material layer may form the inner surface of the reversible toy. The retainer may define a bottom edge of the body in both the first and second positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2019Publication date: September 12, 2019Inventors: Ramy Adly Badie, Charles Gaines, JR.
