Gaming

Specifically, the patent describes a situation where:

• A console or other system is being used to run a video game from storage
• The player controls a character in a “virtual space”
• The player can perform an input command to make a “sub character” appear (i.e. summon another character)
• If there’s an enemy where the sub character appears, the player can control a battle between the sub character and the enemy
• If there’s no enemy where the sub character appears, the sub character will automatically move around
• The player can move the sub character to a different location on the field, and if an enemy is there they can control a battle between the sub character and the enemy
