Game System Dynamic Region Acquisition for Engagement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Bingo games are monotonous and lack excitement, leading to user disinterest when they fall into disadvantageous positions, making it difficult to maintain tension and engagement.
Innovation Solution
A game system with a first game execution device that selects an option from multiple options, and a second game execution device that changes game progression based on the first game's result, using region data generation and updating to create selectable regions and awarding prizes based on acquired region size, enhancing game interest through positional relationships and chain mechanisms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a traditional bingo game is used, then the game progression is easy for users to understand, but the game becomes monotonous and users lose interest when in disadvantageous positions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges a first game (lottery game with ball selection) and a second game (bingo game with region acquisition) into a unified game system. The first game execution device selects options from multiple options, and the second game execution device changes game progression based on the first game's results, creating interconnected gameplay that maintains both simplicity and excitement
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic region acquisition mechanisms where selectable regions are dynamically set as acquired regions based on first game results. The positional condition determination device and chained acquired region setting device create dynamic expansion of acquired regions, transforming the static bingo game into a dynamic experience that adapts to gameplay outcomes
2Device complexity
If bingo game rules are followed, then the game structure is simple, but tension breaks easily when users are in disadvantageous positions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the game into distinct functional devices: first game execution device, second game execution device, region data generation device, acquired region data updating device, and prize awarding device. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while maintaining overall system simplicity and reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the second game progression changes based on first game results. The acquired region data updating device continuously updates region data based on first game outcomes, and the prize awarding device provides feedback by awarding prizes based on overall acquired region size, maintaining user engagement through continuous feedback loops
3Ease of operation
If only traditional bingo mechanics are used, then the game is easy to play, but it lacks novel game sensations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds a new dimension to traditional bingo by introducing spatial relationships between regions. The positional condition determination device checks whether selectable regions and surrounding regions satisfy predetermined positional conditions, and the chained acquired region setting device sets regions in predetermined positional relationships as acquired regions, adding spatial strategy to the game
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates multi-functional game execution devices that perform multiple roles. The second game execution device not only manages bingo progression but also integrates first game results, region data management, and prize awarding functions, creating a versatile system that provides novel sensations while maintaining ease of play

AI summary
A game system is provided that is capable of imparting a novel game sensation to the user by operating together with a means that selects at least one option from among several options. In a game system, with which a lottery game in which at least one option is selected from a plurality of options, and a chain game in which the progression of the game changes on the basis of the game result of the first game are executed, in the chain game, region data is generated for arranging, in a plurality of game progression regions, a plurality of selectable regions that are linked to the plurality of options; and the region data is updated so as to set certain game progression regions as being acquired regions, on the basis of the options selected in the lottery game.
