Digital Card Deck Registration With Creator Attribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing digital trading card games (TCGs) do not adequately enhance the fun of creating decks, as described in PTL 1.
Innovation Solution
A program executed by a computer registers a deck created by a player if it is the first created deck, associating it with the player, and allows other players to access information about the deck, including the creator's information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a deck is registered without identifying the creator, then the registration process is simple and fast, but the player's contribution is not recognized and user engagement is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines and records the creator information at the moment of deck registration by checking which player has not yet been assigned to the deck. This preliminary action ensures creator identification is built into the registration process itself, resolving the contradiction between simple registration and creator recognition.
2Adaptability or versatility
If deck information including creator is made accessible to all players, then user engagement and community interaction improve, but information security and player privacy may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different access rights to different types of deck information. While general deck information (cards, structure) is publicly accessible to all players, the creator information has restricted access - visible only to the creator themselves and players who have explicitly interacted with or requested to view this information. This local quality differentiation resolves the contradiction between information accessibility and security.

AI summary
A program is to be executed by a computer including a processor and a memory. The program causes the processor to perform the steps of receiving, from a first player, a request to register a deck created by combining a plurality of digital cards; determining whether predetermined conditions are satisfied, the predetermined conditions including the condition that the deck having received the request for registration from the first player is the first created deck; registering, if the predetermined conditions are satisfied, the deck in association with the first player who first created the deck; and allowing a second player to access information about the registered deck and the information about the deck to include information about the first player who created the deck.
