Application: System, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, method, and information processing apparatus (Patent ID: US20230415045A1)
The patent filed by Nintendo Co Ltd. describes a system for executing a communication game among multiple terminals, where each terminal holds content data available under specific conditions and a decryption key. The first terminal meeting the conditions transmits encrypted data to another terminal, which verifies it using the decryption key. If successful, a second terminal not meeting the conditions can temporarily access the content data for the game. The system ensures secure communication and controlled access to content data during gameplay.
Additionally, the system allows terminals to have multiple encryption and decryption keys, with the first terminal selecting the encryption key based on information from the receiving terminal. This ensures a dynamic and secure exchange of encrypted data. Furthermore, the patent covers scenarios where terminals can use encryption keys based on meeting specific conditions, and the temporary access to content data is contingent on successful verification of the encrypted data. Overall, the system provides a structured approach to facilitating communication games among terminals while maintaining data security and controlled access to content data.
