Koei Tecmo Games received 1 granted patent in H1 2026, covering AI & Machine Learning (1).
The patent addresses artificial intelligence techniques for managing character positioning during combat scenarios in three-dimensional gaming environments. The AI & Machine Learning system maintains organized battle formations by automatically repositioning attacked characters back toward their allied units, preventing disorderly mixing between opposing forces.
Covering AI & Machine Learning, 1 patent focuses on keeping combat formations coherent during battle sequences in 3D environments. The system detects when a character has been knocked out of position after an attack and automatically guides them back toward their own troops, using an awareness of where each side's forces are concentrated. What sets this apart from earlier approaches is how it handles diagonal clashes, where opposing units intersect at oblique angles and produce unnatural gaps or entangled formations that prior leader-following mechanics could not resolve.
