Session Data Acquisition for Multiplayer Game Contact Maintenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users participating in multiplayer online games often lose contact after a game session ends, lacking an efficient way to access information about past sessions without exchanging online IDs.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with an acquisition processing section that records and displays detailed information about past application sessions, allowing users to easily access and view past game sessions through a screen generating unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users participate in multiplayer online games with users encountered for the first time, then the diversity of game experience is improved, but the ability to maintain contact after game sessions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically recording and storing session information (including user IDs and game details) during and after game sessions. This pre-prepared information is then readily available for later display and user access, eliminating the need for manual contact exchange while maintaining reliability of future contact.
2Loss of information
If detailed information about all past application sessions is displayed, then the completeness of information is improved, but the complexity of information presentation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The information presentation is segmented into two distinct modes: a summary view that displays essential information (session ID, date, time, application name) for multiple sessions, and a detailed view that shows comprehensive information for a selected session. This segmentation allows users to access complete information when needed while avoiding overwhelming complexity in the default display.
Solution Approach 2:
The information display is made dynamic and adaptive based on user interaction. The system transitions from a static summary display to a dynamic detailed display when users select specific sessions. This dynamic adjustment optimizes information presentation by showing only relevant details when requested, reducing unnecessary complexity while maintaining information completeness.
Data Source
AI summary
An acquisition processing section 120 acquires recorded data about a past application session from a log server. A user screen generating block 140 generates a screen related to the application session on the basis of the acquired recorded data. Specifically, a session list displaying section 142 displays information related to a plurality of past application sessions. A user list displaying section 144 displays information identifying the users having participated in one past application session.
