The patent filed by NEC Corp. describes an information processing device that acquires the action history of players in a virtual space and generates action information for non-player characters based on this history. The device classifies the action history into categories and generates action information from a selected category, taking into account the actions and positions of the players in the virtual space. Additionally, the device can use a generative model to generate the action information and further execute processes to generate character information for the non-player characters and dispose them in the virtual space based on player density.
