Game Terminal Comment Display for Network Status
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication management technologies do not provide detailed status notifications for participants in networked game systems, limiting user convenience and interaction.
Innovation Solution
A terminal apparatus with a registration unit, acquisition unit, list display unit, and comment display unit that registers and displays detailed status information, including user comments, for other network-accessible terminals, enhancing user interaction and convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If basic login status notification is provided, then user convenience is improved, but detailed status information and user interaction capabilities are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The status information is segmented into multiple levels: basic login status (for all users), detailed status information (for registered users), and comments (for selected users). This segmentation allows the system to provide appropriate detail to different user groups, improving convenience while managing information complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
Different quality levels of status information are provided to different users based on their registration status and selection. Registered users receive detailed status information, while unregistered users receive only basic login status. This local quality approach resolves the contradiction by tailoring information detail to user needs.
2Loss of information
If detailed status information is displayed for all users, then information completeness is improved, but system complexity and data management burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
Users are required to register in advance to receive detailed status information. This preliminary action (registration) filters the user base, allowing the system to manage detailed information for a controlled group of users rather than all users, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining information completeness for those who need it.
3Loss of information
If comments from all users are displayed, then communication completeness is improved, but information overload and readability decrease
Solution Approach 1:
Comments are extracted and displayed selectively rather than showing all comments from all users. The system extracts comments from registered users and displays them for specific selected users, separating relevant communication information from the broader user base. This extraction maintains communication completeness for relevant users while improving readability by filtering out unnecessary comments.

AI summary
A communication management technology of improved convenience is provided. A game apparatus includes: a registration unit which registers other terminals accessible through a network as participants to notify each other's status to; a status information acquisition unit which acquires information indicating the statuses of the registered terminals through the network; a list display unit which displays a list of the registered terminals on a screen; and a comment display unit which displays a user-selected terminal distinctively from the rest of the list, and if information indicating the status of the terminal includes any comment from a user of the terminal to a user or users of a terminal or terminals by which the terminal is registered as a participant of notification, displays the comment on the screen.
