Abstract

A seat system includes a seat including a sensor configured to acquire information for detection of a motion of an occupant seated on a seat body, a terminal device configured to acquire the information from the sensor, and a server capable of communicating with the terminal device. The terminal device executes a game using the sensor based on the information, and acquires an execution result corresponding to the occupant for a game played by the occupant. The server generates integrated data by integrating execution results of the game acquired from another terminal device, and computes a reference value for execution results of the game based on the integrated data. The terminal device or the server assigns a difficulty level of the game for the terminal device based on the execution result corresponding to the occupant and the reference value. The terminal device reflects the difficulty level on the game.

Claims (31)

1. A seat system comprising:

a seat including a seat body, and a sensor provided at the seat body and configured to acquire information for detection of a motion of an occupant seated on the seat body;

a terminal device configured to acquire the information from the sensor; and

a server capable of communicating with the terminal device,

wherein the terminal device is configured to:

execute a game program using the sensor, based on the information, and

acquire an execution result corresponding to the occupant for a game provided by execution of the game program and played by the occupant,

wherein the server is configured to:

generate integrated data by integrating execution results of the game acquired from another terminal device, and

compute a reference value for the execution results of the game based on the integrated data,

wherein the terminal device or the server is configured to:

assign a difficulty level of the game for the terminal device based on the execution result corresponding to the occupant and the reference value, and

wherein the terminal device is configured to reflect the difficulty level on the game during execution of the game program.

2. The seat system according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal device or the server is configured to assign the difficulty level of the game by setting a control amount for a control target which is controlled in the game based on the execution result corresponding to the occupant and the reference value.

3. The seat system according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal device or the server is configured to:

accumulate execution results corresponding to the occupant as an individual overall result associated with identification information of the occupant,

compute an individual reference value for the execution results of the game for the occupant corresponding to the identification information based on the individual overall result, and

assign the difficulty level based on the individual reference value and the reference value.

4. The seat system according to claim 1 , wherein the reference value is an average value of the execution results of the game accumulated as the integrated data.

5. The seat system according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal device or the server is configured to lower the difficulty level when the execution result corresponding to the occupant is worse than the reference value.

6. The seat system according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal device or the server is configured to raise the difficulty level when the execution result corresponding to the occupant is better than the reference value.

7. A seat experience device comprising:

a seat including a seat body, and a sensor provided at the seat body and configured to acquire information for detection of a motion of an occupant seated on the seat body; and

a terminal device configured to acquire the information from the sensor and capable of communicating with a server;

wherein the terminal device is configured to:

execute a game program using the sensor, based on the information, and

acquire an execution result corresponding to the occupant for a game provided by execution of the game program and played by the occupant,

wherein the server is configured to:

generate integrated data by integrating execution results of the game acquired from another terminal device, and

compute a reference value for the execution results of the game based on the integrated data, and

wherein the terminal device is configured to reflect a difficulty level for the terminal device on the game during execution of the game program, the difficulty level of the game being assigned based on the execution result corresponding to the occupant and the reference value.
