Solution Overview

Problem

Current game systems lack an efficient method to seamlessly integrate the sharing of posting information related to games with the ability to execute games based on additional information, such as execution conditions, within a community setting.

Innovation Solution

An information-processing system that includes a processor and an input device to acquire and display posting information, allowing users to execute games based on conditional additional information indicative of execution conditions, such as special game items or ghost data, through a network-connected gaming system and server device, enabling users to share and execute games with specific conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If posting information is shared in a game system, then community interaction is enhanced, but the system lacks integration with game execution functionality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunity interactionVSAvoidsystem integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the posting information display function with the game execution function into a single integrated system. The display control unit simultaneously manages both posting information and game interfaces, while the execution unit can launch games based on additional information from posts. This merging eliminates the need for separate systems while enabling seamless interaction between community features and gameplay.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The game system is designed with multi-functional capabilities where the same hardware and software infrastructure supports both posting information display and game execution. The display control unit and execution unit can handle multiple types of information and commands, making the system versatile enough to perform both community interaction and gameplay without requiring dedicated separate systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If additional information is included in posting information, then game execution capability is enabled, but information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegame execution capabilityVSAvoidinformation processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary processing of additional information when posting information is created. The execution unit pre-loads and validates additional information (such as game identifiers, execution conditions, and parameters) so that when a user wants to execute a game, the system can quickly retrieve and use the pre-processed data without complex real-time analysis, reducing processing complexity during execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer in the form of structured additional information that mediates between posting information and game execution. This intermediary data structure acts as a standardized interface, translating diverse posting content into uniform execution commands, thereby simplifying the information processing required for game launch while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If users can execute games from posting information, then user convenience is improved, but system resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidsystem resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary additional information from posting data for game execution, rather than processing entire posts. By selectively extracting game identifiers, execution parameters, and other critical data elements, the system reduces memory and processing resource requirements while still enabling convenient one-click game execution from posting information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

An information-processing system includes: at least one processor configured to display posting information relevant to an application on a display, which information is shared by plural users. The application is started and executed in response to selection of an object in a vicinity of a first item of posting information, while items of posting information are displayed on the display, using conditional additional information of the first item of posting information corresponding to the selected object.
