Video Game Processing System Context Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional text-based video game systems only provide descriptions for terms directly included in the text displayed on the game screen, lacking convenience when related terms or context information is needed for player understanding.
Innovation Solution
A video game processing system and program that includes a server and player terminals, capable of displaying a game screen and extracting descriptions of terms from a storage area based on non-textual information, such as images or moving images, to provide more comprehensive context to players.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If only descriptions of terms included in displayed text are provided, then the system is simple and fast, but player understanding is insufficient when related terms or context information is needed
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores descriptions of terms in a database associated with game progress status, and automatically extracts and provides relevant descriptions based on the current game state without requiring real-time text processing. This preliminary preparation enables comprehensive information provision while maintaining system simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that connects game progress status to term descriptions through a database and extraction function. This intermediary layer enables the system to provide comprehensive information about related terms and context without directly processing all possible text content, thus reducing system complexity while improving information completeness.
2Loss of information
If descriptions are extracted from non-textual information like images, then player understanding improves, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-processes and stores descriptions of terms associated with specific game progress status in a database. When a player queries for information, the system retrieves pre-extracted descriptions rather than processing images in real-time, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining context information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a textual copy or representation of visual information (images) by extracting descriptions of terms from the game progress status and storing them in a database. This copying process allows the system to provide comprehensive context information without repeatedly processing the original images, thus reducing computational time and resources.

AI summary
One or more embodiments of the disclosure provide a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a video game processing program that, when, executed, causes a server to perform: controlling progress of a video game; displaying a game screen based on a progress status of the video game; extracting a description of a term corresponding to the progress status of the video game from a predetermined storage area based on information different from text displayed on the game screen; and providing the extracted description of the term to a player.
