| 20110294580 | PROGRAM, INFORMATION STORAGE MEDIUM, AND COMPUTER SYSTEM - A team is organized with players having preset inclination values having an influence on individual behavior tendencies of the players while a whole inclination value having an influence on the behavior tendency of a whole team is set. The difference between the whole inclination value of the team and inclination values of the individual players is calculated. The smaller the difference, the higher the player's ability is changed than the initial value. The larger the difference, the lower it is changed than the initial value. In match simulation processing, a simulation is performed with the abilities after the change. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110263306 | COMPUTER SYSTEM AND PROGRAM - In computer and video games in which a character is managed by registering an ID assigned to an object, objects corresponding to the same player can be duplicately registered, and a bonus that increases the ability of the player corresponding to the duplicately registered object is granted. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20110011539 | DECORATIVE TAPE WINDING DEVICE - A tape winding device can wind a decorative tape in a spiral onto the circumference of a cylindrical object. When a cylindrical object is inserted and pushed in the axial direction into a rotating and forwarding mechanism, the cylindrical object is forwarded and given a rotation in one direction by the rotating and forwarding mechanism. When the end of a decorative tape, which is drawn out from a tape ring held in a decorative tape holding mechanism, which is mounted at an inclination to axis line of cylindrical object, is stuck to the starting part for winding the tape on to the cylindrical object and cylindrical object is again pushed and rotated and forwarded in the axial direction, decorative tape is pulled out consequent upon this rotating and forwarding and wound in a spiral on the circumference of the cylindrical object. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20100317255 | YO-YO HAVING TWIST-ON RELEASABLE RIMS AND YO-YO HAVING TWIST-ON GEAR-LOCKED BODIES - The invention is an improved yo-yo that features two side assemblies that sandwich a center axle onto which the yo-yo's tether may be secured. According to a first embodiment, each of the side assemblies preferably includes a releasable, disk-shaped rim piece. By replacing one set of replaceable rim pieces with another, a user can quickly and easily change the yo-yo's shape, look and/or functionality. To remove a rim piece, one first removes a lock ring that is secured to the rim piece and blocks a number of openings that lead to grooves in a center-located hub. Next, one employs a twisting movement of the rim piece to cause a number of tabs attached to the rim piece to slide in the hub's grooves until the tabs are aligned with the openings. The rim piece can then be disengaged from the yo-yo. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20100133720 | ERASER MOULDING TOY AND METHOD OF FORMING AN ERASER - To provide an eraser moulding toy with which it is possible to mould an eraser having a coloured pattern or design, a plurality of thermofusible eraser members | 06-03-2010 |
| 20090200344 | TORSO - A torso, around which clothes can be wound, includes a curved incision on the backface. Preferably, an elastic member is provided at least on the periphery of the incision. The torso may also include a first opening on the backface, an elastic member formed to cover the first opening, and a curved incision on the elastic member, where the incision is exposed from the first opening. Preferably, the incision is formed along the longitudinal direction of the first opening. Furthermore, the first opening may include at least two projections formed on its periphery, and the elastic member may include at least two holes formed at positions opposing the projections, respectively. A fixing member may be provided for fixing the elastic member, and the fixing member includes a second opening having the same shape and size as those of the first opening and formed at a position opposing the incision. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090197505 | MARIONETTE TOY - A marionette toy is provided with a container to accommodate a marionette, a lid for the container, a plurality of suspending members and a driving mechanism.

| 20090029779 | Game apparatus, control method thereof, and program - There is provided a game apparatus, which includes a storage unit and a communication unit which communicates with another game apparatus. This game apparatus controls the storage unit to store a character group including two characters of a first type and one or more characters of a second type, and to store a parameter value indicating a relationship between the character group and that of the other game apparatus. Furthermore, when the parameter value satisfies the predetermined condition and when one of the one or more characters of the second type is selected, the character group is updated so that the selected character and a predetermined character of the second type of the other game apparatus are set as new, two characters of the first type, and only newly generated one or more characters of the second type are set as the one or more characters of the second type. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20080257681 | Coin Identifying Device - The coin identifying device is provided where the number of coins stored can be changed and a coin can be returned without a return button, and thus it is simple and inexpensive to make. The device has a coin slot, a coin outlet, and a rotating body. The rotating body has a coin containing section which can store multiple coins inserted from the coin slot, a switching member which changes the number of stored coins in the coin containing section, and a coin passage which is connected with the coin containing section and in which the coin falls to the coin outlet. A partition member inside a body of the device divides the coin containing section and the coin passage and does or does not prevent the coin in the coin containing section from falling to the coin passage depending on the direction of the rotation of the rotating body. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080200250 | PORTABLE GAME APPARATUS AND GAME SYSTEM - A portable game apparatus which gains the acceptance of senior elementary school children is realized. A portable game apparatus includes, for example, a general-purpose interface used to connect a personal computer, and a communication interface used to communicate with another portable game apparatus as an opponent of a fighting game. An execution control unit executes the fighting game with the other portable game apparatus connected via the communication interface using game data received via the general-purpose interface. | 08-21-2008 |
