Video game and method of playVideo game and method of play description/claimsThe Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20090264173, Video game and method of play. Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/006,708, filed on Jan. 28, 2008, and titled “Video Game Display and Method of Play,” which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The present invention is directed to a video game and a method of playing the video game for providing entertainment and facilitating understanding of human behavior. In the recent past, gaming machines have become increasingly sophisticated. These video/electronic gaming advancements enable the operation of more complex interactive games that would not otherwise be possible on mechanical-driven wagering machines. More recently, multiple game platforms have been developed that provide access to multiple electronic games through a single stand alone gaming machine. A game selection menu may be provided on the video display that offers the patron the choice of at least two video/electronic games. The gaming patron, thus, may select a game or activity of their choice. Not only have the play of the games increased in sophistication, but so have many other aspects of the games such as the methodologies and schemes employed, and the graphical presentations of the games. Collectively, these features have generally increased player interest. Another technique employed to increase player interest, as well as to distinguish a gaming establishments video games from those of their competitors, has been to customize the hardware and firmware for video gaming machines. Forms of customized screen presentations may include special attraction modes of aspects of a game that are unique to a particular gaming establishment. Other applications of video games relate to the field of interactive video games wherein the game comprises computer generated images from an electronic device displayed on a television monitor and that relates to amusement and information systems that use a form of learning feedback, subliminal messages, stress reduction and knowledge developed during play of the game to facilitate rapid gaining of new knowledge and new ways of performing functions traditionally performed via interpersonal interaction. While these graphical customization techniques foster recognition of the video games and some degree of learning, they generally lack the ability to provide customized interaction in the form of questions and answers for the purpose of performing therapy. In light of the above described problems and unmet needs, various aspects of this invention include methods and systems to allow a user to experience a form of therapy via the interactive use of a computer, wherein the interaction between the user and the computer is guided by an interactive software. According to various aspects of the current invention, a player or other user (hereinafter interchangeably referred to as “player”) may determine which defensive answers, or defenses, a virtual patient or a real patient (or similar user, hereinafter interchangeably referred to as “patient”) may give to answer questions. On the basis of the answers given by the patient, the player may further challenge the patient by asking additional focus questions and determining which defenses or answers are given by the patient to these focus questions. During each session, the player may make an interpretation of the patient\'s feelings and/or state of mind on the basis of the defenses and answers provided by the patient. Additional advantages and novel features of these aspects of the invention will be set forth in part in the description that follows, and in part will become more apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following or upon learning by practice of the invention.
