Content fusion using reserved content without trade
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11957977B2) discloses an information processing device and a computer-readable storage medium storing a program that enables a user to fuse content by selecting resource contents necessary for the fusion process. The information processing device includes a content information storage unit, a user information storage unit, a selection unit, and a notification unit. The user can designate content as the fusion source from their possessed content, and the device will specify resource content not possessed by the user and select reserved content that matches the specified resource content from the user's reserved content. The notification unit then informs the user that the selected reserved content can be used for fusing the designated fusion source.
Similarly, the computer-readable storage medium contains a program that transforms a computer into a content information storage means, a user information storage means, a selection means, and a notification means. The program allows the computer to perform operations such as specifying resource content necessary for fusing designated content, selecting reserved content matching the specified resource content from the user's reserved content, and notifying the user about the usability of the selected reserved content for fusing the designated fusion source. This technology aims to enhance the user experience by facilitating the fusion of content through a systematic selection process based on the user's possessed and reserved content.
