Patent ID: 8262483

Claim:
A game terminal comprising: an in-terminal memory device for storing, for each of a plurality of reference action-sequences, an action-sequence data element for describing a reference action-sequence, an identifier for identifying the reference action-sequence, and a difficulty-level data item for describing a difficulty level of the reference action-sequence in such a manner that the action-sequence data element, the identifier, and the difficulty-level data item of the reference action-sequence are mutually associated; an information outputter for outputting, to the outside of the game terminal, for each of the plurality of reference action-sequences, a piece of information identifying a reference action-sequence and a piece of information describing the difficulty level of the reference action-sequence in such a manner that the pieces of information of the reference action-sequence are mutually associated on the basis of the identifiers for identifying the reference action-sequences and the difficulty-level data items; an information input interface into which a person inputs information from outside of the game terminal; a reference action-sequence selector for selecting one from among the plurality of reference action-sequences on the basis of the information input into the information input interface; a play processor using the action-sequence data element describing the selected reference action-sequence to execute a process for realizing a play of a computer game, the play depending on the selected reference action-sequence; a play evaluator for evaluating each play of the computer game and giving a better evaluation to a player when a conformity of actions of the player for a play period to the reference action-sequence is greater; an energy-consumption estimator for estimating energy consumption of a hypothetical player, assuming that the hypothetical player performs at least one of the plurality of reference action-sequences for a play period, on the basis of the action-sequence data element describing the at least one reference action-sequence stored in the in-terminal memory device; an energy-consumption data item generator for generating a data item describing a value corresponding to the estimated energy consumption for the at least one reference action-sequence; and a difficulty-level data writer for writing, into the in-terminal memory device, the data item describing the value corresponding to the estimated energy consumption as the difficulty-level data item describing the difficulty level of the reference action-sequence.
