Location-Based Game Event Processing for Individual Player Roles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional location-based games fail to provide a meaningful group experience to players, lacking individual roles within groups and cohesive gameplay experiences.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that obtains player positions, creates groups, and generates game event data with individual conditions for players to fulfill, enhancing group interaction and experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional location-based games are used, then players can participate in games using position information, but players are not given individual roles within groups and the game experience as a member of a group is tenuous
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the game experience into individual roles assigned to each player within a group. Each player receives customized event data with specific conditions tailored to their role, transforming the undifferentiated group participation into structured individual contributions toward a common group objective.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically generates and assigns individual roles and conditions based on group composition and game state. The event data is adaptively created to provide meaningful individual tasks that evolve as players progress, maintaining engagement and group cohesion throughout the game experience.
2Reliability
If individual roles and conditions are assigned to players, then group interaction and experience are improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary generation of event data with individual conditions before players execute game actions. By pre-configuring role-specific tasks and conditions based on anticipated group needs, the system reduces runtime complexity while ensuring reliable group interaction frameworks are in place.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables players to self-identify and accept individual roles and conditions within the group framework. Players autonomously navigate their assigned tasks and contribute to group objectives without requiring constant system mediation, reducing operational complexity while maintaining interaction quality.

AI summary
In an information processing apparatus, position information is obtained with respect to each of a plurality of players, a group made up of the plurality of players is created, and event data of a game event that can be played by the group, the event data including one or a plurality of individual conditions to be satisfied by a player, is generated based on the position information of the players.
