Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional game applications use fixed parameters for virtual objects, then the game structure is simple and easy to understand, but the gameplay becomes repetitive and lacks engagement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making virtual object parameters changeable rather than fixed. The processor dynamically adjusts parameters such as ability values, movement speeds, and attack powers based on game progress and player actions, transforming static game elements into adaptive ones that respond to gameplay conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent directly implements parameter changes by modifying numerical attributes of virtual objects during gameplay. The system changes parameters including ability values, movement speeds, attack powers, and defense powers based on game events, player actions, and progress, allowing the same virtual object to have different statistical properties at different game stages.
2Adaptability or versatility
If game parameters remain static, then the game mechanics are simple to implement, but the player experience lacks depth and variety
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where player actions and game events trigger parameter modifications. The system continuously monitors gameplay conditions and adjusts virtual object parameters in response, creating a closed-loop system where gameplay outcomes influence subsequent game states and difficulty levels.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining parameter modification rules and conditions that will be applied during gameplay. The system prepares multiple parameter sets and modification logic in advance, allowing for rapid parameter changes during game execution without requiring complex real-time calculations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If virtual object parameters are frequently varied, then gameplay engagement increases, but game balance becomes harder to maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies periodic action by implementing parameter changes at specific game intervals or milestones rather than continuously. The system modifies parameters at predetermined game progress points, event triggers, or time intervals, providing structured variation that maintains predictability and balance while still offering dynamic gameplay experiences.

AI summary
A processing device includes an input interface that accepts an operation input relating to an effect object from a player in a real world, the effect object being disposed in a virtual space displayed on a display, a memory that stores a parameter associated with one or a plurality of virtual objects, and a processor that executes an instruction command stored in the memory to vary a form of the effect object according to the operation input accepted by the input interface and to vary the parameter associated with at least the one or the plurality of virtual objects according to the form variation of the effect object.
