Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a player or other user 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.
  • 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.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des systèmes et des méthodes permettant à un joueur de déterminer les sentiments/sensations et l'état d'esprit d'un patient virtuel par le biais des types de réponses défensives, ou défenses, que le patient fournit au joueur. En s'appuyant sur les défenses fournies par le patient, le joueur interroge plus avant le patient en lui posant des questions précises supplémentaires, et il détermine quelles défenses additionnelles sont fournies par le patient. Des points sont attribués au joueur pour la détermination réussie des véritables sentiments/sensations et/ou du véritable état d'esprit du joueur.
