Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing three-dimensional puzzle games have complex rules and operations, making them difficult for players to understand and maintain interest.
Innovation Solution
A game program that simplifies the gameplay by allowing players to rotate three-dimensional objects in a graphical scene, enhancing visibility and intuitiveness through near two-dimensional displays and angle adjustments, while incorporating features like acceleration measurement and time limits to improve engagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If complex three-dimensional puzzle games with multiple regular hexahedrons are implemented, then the game provides challenging puzzle-solving experience, but the rules and operations become too complicated for players
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential puzzle-solving element (matching faces of three-dimensional objects) while removing complex operations. The game displays only the necessary face information for solving, rather than requiring manipulation of multiple complex hexahedrons, thus simplifying operations while preserving puzzle challenge
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses two-dimensional representations (images) of three-dimensional object faces instead of requiring direct manipulation of complex three-dimensional objects. This copying approach allows players to solve puzzles by matching face images, greatly simplifying operations while maintaining the core puzzle-solving experience
2Shape
If three-dimensional objects are displayed in full three-dimensional view, then the game maintains spatial complexity, but the viewability and intuitive understanding of specific faces deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different display qualities to different parts of the three-dimensional objects. Specifically, the face relevant to the puzzle operation is displayed in enhanced two-dimensional view with high visibility, while other faces are either hidden or displayed in less prominent manner. This local enhancement ensures that players can easily detect and compare the specific faces needed for solving
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from pure three-dimensional display to a hybrid representation where specific faces are projected onto two-dimensional planes. This dimensionality change allows players to view face details clearly while maintaining the context of three-dimensional object structure, improving face detectability without completely losing spatial information
3Adaptability or versatility
If the game requires understanding of complicated rules, then the game provides deep strategic thinking, but players hesitate to start and become tired of playing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the puzzle-solving process into simple, discrete steps: view the displayed face images, compare them, and match corresponding faces. By breaking down the game into these simple segments rather than requiring understanding of complex overall rules, the game becomes more accessible while maintaining strategic depth through the puzzle-matching challenge

AI summary
There is provided a computer that implements an input function of accepting rotation operation information for an operation object having a three-dimensional form in a graphical scene so as to enable output of display information for a certain face of the operation object; a target object display output function of outputting display information for displaying a target face of a target object that includes a corresponding face corresponding to a specific face of the operation object; an operation object display output function of outputting the display information for the certain face of the operation object that is rotated by the input function; and a form determination function of determining whether the operation object and the target object correspond to each other by comparing the certain face of the operation object rotated by the input function with the target face of the target object.
