Shigeru Miyamoto patent pops up...and I have no idea what it means

GN 1.0 / 2.0

Computer-readable storage medium having game program stored therein, and game apparatus

User saved-data storage means S19 stores user saved-data which is generated as a result of a game play performed by a user. Digest saved-data storage means S48 stores a plurality of pieces of digest saved-data which are previously generated so as to be associated with predetermined scenes, respectively, in a game. Game start means S14 starts the game process without using the user saved-data and the plurality of pieces of digest saved-data. Game resuming means S12, S13 starts the game process by using the user saved-data. Digest game start means S4 starts the game process by using any of the plurality of pieces of digest saved-data. Saving means S19 generates the user saved-data, only in the game process started by the game start means or the game resuming means.

This is indeed a patent that claims Shigeru Miyamoto as the inventor. I have no idea if this is an old patent that has been re-upped, a new patent, or a mix. You can check out the full patent here (thanks Ninsertion!)
