Linkage Partner Selection for Game Pass Execution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In sports games, inexperienced users find it difficult to perform linkage plays involving multiple player characters through passes, as they need to individually operate each character, making the process complex and hard to manage.
Innovation Solution
A game machine with linkage partner selecting, type of linkage play selecting, and pass execution means that allows users to select a linkage partner and control their position based on the selected play, enabling the operation subject player character to perform passes either directionally or to the selected partner.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a user performs individual operations on each player character to achieve linkage play, then the linkage play can be executed, but the operation complexity increases significantly for inexperienced users
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically selects linkage partner player characters and determines their positions based on the operation subject's location and the selected linkage play type, eliminating the need for users to manually control each character. The system serves itself by autonomously managing the coordination of multiple player characters in linkage plays.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-defines multiple linkage play types (one-two pass, cross, open space) with predetermined patterns and positions. When a user selects a linkage play type, the system has already prepared the necessary coordination logic and partner selection criteria, allowing immediate execution without complex real-time calculations.
2Ease of operation
If the system provides multiple linkage play types with automatic partner selection, then the ease of operation improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The linkage play functionality is segmented into distinct, pre-defined types (one-two pass, cross, open space), each with its own specific pattern and partner selection logic. This segmentation allows the system to manage complexity by dividing the overall linkage play mechanism into independent, manageable modules that can be selected and executed separately.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters by switching between different linkage play types, each with predefined characteristics such as partner selection criteria, movement patterns, and positioning logic. This parameter-based approach allows the system to adapt to different play styles without requiring fundamental changes to the underlying control architecture.
3Productivity
If the system automatically controls linkage partner positions based on selected play type, then the productivity of linkage play execution improves, but the loss of user control increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the degree of automation based on user input. While the linkage partner positions are automatically controlled during execution, users retain the ability to select different linkage play types and can intervene by performing pass instruction operations. This dynamic balance allows efficient automated execution while preserving essential user control and adaptability.

AI summary
A game machine on which a user allows a plurality of player characters of an operation subject team to perform linkage play. A linkage partner selecting unit selects a linkage partner player character from among fellow player characters. A type of linkage play selecting unit selects a type of linkage play. A linkage partner control unit controls the position of a linkage partner player character based on a selected type of linkage play. If a linkage partner player character is not selected, a pass execution unit makes an operation subject player character execute a pass in a direction based on the content of a pass instruction operation according to the pass instruction by the user. If a linkage partner player character is selected, the pass execution unit makes the operation subject player character execute a pass to a linkage partner player character based on the user's pass instruction operation.
