Dynamic Reference Timing Evaluation for Game Input

The patent applies local quality by assigning different evaluation properties to different reference timings. Specifically, some reference timings are designated as evaluation targets while others are non-evaluation targets, creating local variations in how inputs are evaluated. This allows the system to maintain simplicity in the overall evaluation framework while introducing diversity in specific evaluation instances, thereby preventing operator boredom without complicating the fundamental evaluation mechanism.

The patent implements dynamics by making the evaluation property of reference timings changeable during gameplay. The change section dynamically switches between evaluation and non-evaluation properties based on game progress or conditions. This dynamic adjustment introduces variety and adaptability to the gameplay experience while maintaining a relatively simple underlying evaluation structure, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and variety.

The patent applies the taking out principle by selectively extracting certain reference timings from the evaluation process. Instead of evaluating all reference timings, the system identifies and evaluates only specific ones designated as evaluation targets. This extraction provides sufficient feedback to guide operator input while reducing the monotony of continuous evaluation, thereby maintaining feedback effectiveness while enhancing gameplay diversity.

The patent implements partial action by providing evaluation feedback for only a portion of reference timings rather than all of them. This partial evaluation approach maintains adequate feedback for operator guidance while creating gaps in evaluation that add variety and prevent gameplay monotony, effectively balancing feedback completeness with gameplay diversity.

The patent applies universality by designing the reference timing structure to serve multiple functions. Each reference timing can function as either an evaluation target or a non-evaluation target depending on its current property state. This multi-functionality allows the same underlying data structure to support both static and dynamic evaluation modes, enabling gameplay variety through property changes without requiring fundamentally different system structures, thus limiting the increase in system complexity.

The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the evaluation property parameter of reference timings during gameplay. Instead of creating complex new structures, the system changes the state of an existing parameter (evaluation vs. non-evaluation property) to achieve gameplay variety. This approach introduces adaptability and engagement through simple parameter toggling rather than complex structural modifications, effectively balancing gameplay variety with system simplicity.
