The figure which shows the example which made the user card 20 the card case 50. FIG.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of an image processing system 2 including an image processing apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The image processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment performs processing for changing the display form of the character image displayed on the display device 3 with time. An example of this type of processing is a battle game in which character images corresponding to a plurality of characters battle each other on a display screen. Hereinafter, an example in which the image processing apparatus 1 performs image processing for a battle game will be mainly described, but the image processing performed by the image processing apparatus 1 is not necessarily limited to a game.

  An image processing system 2 in FIG. 1 includes a computer device 4 incorporating an image processing device 1, a display device 3, a photographing device (photographing unit) 5, a speaker device 6, a network 7, and a management server device (information management device). Device) 8.

  The computer device 4 is a variety of information processing devices including a processor that can execute a program, such as a general-purpose personal computer, a dedicated game machine, a mobile phone, a smartphone, or a tablet terminal.

  The computer device 4 includes an image processing device 1 and a game execution unit 9 therein. At least a part of the image processing apparatus 1 and the game execution unit 9 may be configured by either hardware or software, or may be configured by combining hardware and software. When at least a part of the image processing device 1 and the game execution unit 9 is configured by software, the software is stored as a computer program in a storage device (not shown), and the computer device 4 reads and executes the program. Each process of the image processing apparatus 1 and the game execution unit 9 is performed.

  Further, a device (for example, a television device) in which at least a part of the computer device 4, the display device 3, the photographing device 5, and the speaker device 6 are integrated may be provided.

  Each of the computer device 4 and the management server device 8 is connected to the network 7 via a wireless LAN, for example, using a protocol such as TCP / IP. The network 7 may be a public line such as the Internet or a dedicated line. When the computer device 4 is a mobile phone or a smartphone, it is connected to the Internet via a mobile phone communication network.

  The management server device 8 includes a member database (member DB) 10 that stores user information for playing games, and a content database (content DB) 11 that stores programs related to game stories, character images and items used in the games, and the like. Have.

  A part of information managed by the management server device 8 (for example, contents of the content DB) may be provided in the computer device 4. Further, when it is assumed that the user enjoys the game alone, the computer device 4 may have the entire function of the management server. In this case, the network 7 and the management server device 8 may be omitted.

  The game performed by the image processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment is started when the user places the user card (first information recording medium) 20 and the character card (second information recording medium) 21 on the photographing apparatus 5 in an overlapping manner. The The action of holding over does not necessarily have to be just before the photographing device 5. The distance from the photographing device 5 when performing the holding action depends on the performance of the photographing device 5, the image recognition capability of the image processing device 1, and the print information of the user card 20 and the character card 21. It depends on the size.

  The user card 20 is a card on which a user's own identification code is printed. The character card 21 includes a card (character ID card 22) having a function of displaying a specific character image on the display screen of the display device 3. In addition, the character card 21 may include a card (item ID card 23) on which an identification code related to item information to be given to a specific character image is printed. When the user possesses two types of character cards 21, that is, a character ID card 22 and an item ID card 23, the user selects one of the user cards 20 as necessary as will be described later. And the action of holding it over the photographing device 5.

  First, an example in which the character ID card 22 is used as the character card 21 will be described. The character ID card 22 is printed with a color code for identifying a character image displayed on the display screen.

  The external shape of the user card 20 and the character card 21 is the same, and a color code is printed along the same side of the card. As will be described later, the color code (first identification code) of the user card 20 The color code (second identification code) of the character card 21 is printed at a position not overlapping each other.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the user card 20 (20a, 20b, 20c). For example, FIG. 2A shows a Taro Yamada user card 20a, FIG. 2B shows a user card 20b of Tanaka Hanako, and FIG. 2C shows a user card 20c of Shiroji. Each user card 20 has a user name 24 printed in katakana along one of the two opposite sides, and a color code 25 made up of eight circle marks along the other side. . Each of the circle marks is filled with one of a plurality of colors. In FIG. 2, the different colors of the circle mark are expressed by different hatching for convenience. The printing position of the color code and the number of circle marks are the same for any user card 20.

  It is not essential to print the user name 24 on the user card 20. Further, the user name 24 is not necessarily the real name of the user, and may be a nickname or a name arbitrarily given by the issuer of the user card 20. Hereinafter, these are collectively referred to as a user name 24.

  The color coding type of the color code 25 is different for each user card 20. Therefore, the color code 25 of the user card 20 functions as an identification code for each user. Code information other than the color code 25 (for example, a QR code (registered trademark), a barcode, etc.) may be used as long as it functions as an identification code.

  The user card 20 is provided free of charge at a store or the like with the color code 25 pre-printed, and the user who receives the user card 20 enters his / her personal information and registers online or fills out an application form. The user card 20 on which the color code 25 is printed in advance may be associated with the user by mailing. Alternatively, the user registers or fills in personal information in advance and mails it, and the card issuer confirms the contents of the registration application, issues the user card 20 in which the user and the color code 25 are associated, and mails them. May be sent to the user.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing an example of a character ID card 22 (22a, 22b, 22c, 22d) which is a kind of character card 21. As shown in FIG. 3 (a), 3 (b), 3 (c) and 3 (d) show different character ID cards 22a, 22b, 22c and 22d, respectively.

  In the example of FIG. 3, each character ID card 22 includes three elements “chikara”, “hayashi”, and “mamori” as an example, and these three elements are represented by numerical values from 0 to 100. Yes. The combination of the numerical values of the three elements in each character ID card 22 is different for each character ID card 22, and the character image 12 corresponding to the combination of the numerical values of the three elements is drawn on each character ID card 22. ing. More specifically, each character ID card 22 is printed with an area 26 in which numerical values of three elements are printed, an area 27 in which the character image 12 is illustrated, and a color code 25 for identifying the numerical values of the three elements. Region 28 is provided.

  Similar to the user card 20, the character card 21 may print an identification code other than the color code 25 that can identify the character image 12 and the numerical values of the three elements.

  Of the above-described three areas 26 to 28 in the character ID card 22, an identification code such as the color code 25 is essential, but an area 27 where the character image 12 is printed and an area 26 where the numerical values of the three elements are printed. And may be omitted as appropriate. The reason is that the computer device 4 can grasp the numerical value of the character image 12 and the three elements by the identification code such as the color code 25.

  Note that the number of elements of the character ID card 22 is not limited to three, and the contents of each element are not limited to the above-mentioned “chikara”, “hayashi”, and “mamori”. As will be described later, the behavior of the character image 12 on the display screen can be finely controlled as the number of elements increases.

  FIG. 4 shows an example in which the user card 20a and the character ID card 22a are overlapped. FIG. 4 (a) shows a state before the overlap, and FIG. 4 (b) shows a state after the overlap.

  At least one of the user card 20 and the character ID card 22 is at least partially transparent or semi-transparent, and the color code 25 of the card placed below is visible from above. When the two cards are overlapped, the two color codes 25 are arranged in a line so that the color codes 25 do not overlap each other even if the two cards are overlapped.

  FIG. 4 shows an example in which the user card 20a is overlaid on the character ID card 22a. In the case of this example, by making most of the user card 20a transparent, when the two cards are overlapped, the values of the three elements of the character ID card 22a, the character image 12, and the color code 25 are It becomes visible from the upper surface side of the user card 20a overlaid. Accordingly, when the photographing apparatus 5 is photographed in a superimposed state, the two color codes 25 are imprinted on the photographed image.

  Contrary to FIG. 4, when the character ID card 22 is superimposed on the user card 20, at least a part of the character ID card 22 is made transparent or translucent so that the user card 20 placed below is placed. The color code 25 and the user name 24 can be viewed from the upper surface side of the character ID card 22.

  In the present embodiment, the computer device 4 starts the game by performing the act of holding the user card 20 and the character card 21 over the image capturing device 5 while the user overlaps the user card 20 and the character card 21. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of an act of holding, and FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B respectively hold different user cards 20a and 20b and different character ID cards 22a and 22c over each other. An example is shown.

  The imaging device 5 captures the superimposed user card 20 and character ID card 22, analyzes the captured image with the image processing device 1, and recognizes the color code 25.

  6A is a diagram in which the color code 25 in FIG. 5A is extracted, and FIG. 6B is a diagram in which the color code 25 in FIG. 5B is extracted. As shown in these drawings, when the user card 20 and the character ID card 22 are overlapped, the color code 25 of the user card 20 and the color code 25 of the character ID card 22 are arranged in a line. Hereinafter, two types of color codes 25 arranged in a row are referred to as a color code row 30. The color code string 30 is different if at least one of the user card 20 and the character ID card 22 is different.

  Once the computer device 4 recognizes the color code sequence 30 of the user card 20 and the character ID card 22 superimposed by the user, the color code recognized immediately before it recognizes another color code sequence 30 thereafter. According to the column 30, the character image 12 is displayed on the display screen and the game is advanced.

  Therefore, after the computer device 4 recognizes the color code string 30, the user may stop the act of holding the two cards. That is, the user only needs to temporarily hold the color code string 30 over when the computer apparatus 4 wants to recognize it. Thereby, a user's burden can be reduced.

  When the computer apparatus 4 recognizes the color code string 30 of the two cards held by the user, the image processing apparatus 1 displays or recognizes some information indicating that it is recognized on the display screen. It is desirable to notify the user by voice. This makes it possible for the user to determine when it is possible to stop the holding action and to easily determine whether or not the computer apparatus 4 has recognized the color code string 30.

  When the user holds the user card 20 and the character card 21 on top of each other, as shown in FIG. 7A, the user may unintentionally superimpose both cards with a slight shift. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7B, the two types of color code strings 30 are not arranged in one line but in two lines. In this case, the image processing apparatus 1 determines whether a plurality of users have performed the act of overlapping and holding two cards at the same time or one user has performed an action of shifting and overlapping the cards. It cannot be recognized correctly.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7B, the image processing apparatus 1 sets a range 29 for recognizing the color code 25 of another card of the same user around the color code 25, and is within this range 29. If another color code 25 is recognized as that of the same user and there is no other color code 25 within this range 29, a warning process is performed to the effect that the color code 25 of another card cannot be recognized. desirable. In the warning process, it may be possible to display on the display screen that the color code 25 of another card cannot be recognized or to notify that it cannot be recognized by voice. When performing the warning, it is desirable to display or voice output the user name 24 corresponding to the color code 25 of the user card 20 to notify that the contents of the character card 21 cannot be recognized.

  4 and 5 show an example in which the user card 20 and the character ID card 22 are overlapped and held over the photographing apparatus 5, as described above, the character card 21 includes an item ID card in addition to the character ID card 22. 23 may be provided. The item ID card 23 gives a specific item to the character image 12 already displayed on the display screen. The item to be given by the item ID card 23 is, for example, a weapon or a special technique for increasing the power of the character, and the specific contents of the item such as the weapon and the special technique are determined by the color code 25 of each item ID card 23. It is specified. For example, the degree of increasing the power of the character varies depending on the item specified by the item ID card 23.

  In addition to the color code 25 for identifying the type of weapon or the special move, the item ID card 23 may print, for example, the weapon or the special type of the special item as pictographic information.

  The items given by the item ID card 23 are not limited to weapons and special moves, and may be other various items. For example, an item for changing at least one numerical value of three elements printed (recorded) on the character ID card 22 may be added, and the expression, clothes, etc. of the character image 12 displayed on the display screen may be added. You may give the item for changing.

  Since the printing position of the color code 25 of the item ID card 23 and the printing position of the color code 25 of the character ID card 22 are the same, when either the item ID card 23 or the character ID card 22 is overlapped with the user card 20, The two color codes 25 are arranged in a line as shown in FIG.

  Thus, since the printing position of the color code 25 of the item ID card 23 and the printing position of the color code 25 of the character ID card 22 are the same, the item ID card 23 and the character ID card 22 are not used simultaneously. .

  The item ID card 23 is used after the character ID card 22 is overlapped with the user card 20 and the character image 12 is displayed on the display screen. That is, the item ID card 23 is used after the character ID card 22. After performing the act of holding the item ID card 23 over the user card 20 and then holding the character ID card 22 over the user card 20, the item assigned by the item ID card 23 is automatically The same item may be automatically given to the new character image 12.

  The game execution unit 9 may allow each user to use only a limited number (for example, one) of item ID cards 23 from the start to the end of the game. Similarly, each user may be allowed to use only a limited number (for example, two) of character ID cards 22 from the start to the end of the game. The reason is that if the use of a large number of item ID cards 23 and character ID cards 22 is permitted, the progress of the game becomes complicated and the processing load on the computer device 4 increases.

  Next, the internal configuration and processing operation of the image processing apparatus 1 will be described. FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing an example of the internal configuration of the image processing apparatus 1. As shown in FIG. 8, the image processing apparatus 1 includes an imaging processing unit 31, an image recognition unit 32, an information acquisition unit 33, a display control unit 34, a power detection unit 35, an identification code detection unit 36, And a warning unit 37.

  The photographing processing unit 31 acquires a photographed image obtained by photographing with the photographing device 5 and performs image analysis. The image recognition unit 32 recognizes the color code sequence 30 included in the captured image.

  The information acquisition unit 33 acquires user information and character information corresponding to the color code string 30 recognized by the image recognition unit 32 from the management server device 8. A database device that records the correspondence between the color code string 30, user information, and character information may be provided in the computer device 4. In this case, since the information acquisition unit 33 can acquire user information and character information from the database device and does not need to access the management server device 8, high-speed processing is possible and communication costs can be suppressed.

  The display control unit 34 displays user information and the character image 12 on the display screen of the display device 3 based on the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 33, and the image recognition unit 32 recognizes the color code string 30. The display form of the character image 12 is changed in accordance with the elapsed time since then. That is, when the game execution unit 9 in the computer apparatus 4 executes a game, the display control unit 34 changes the display form of the character image 12 in accordance with the progress of the game.

  The power detection unit 35 detects the remaining power that the character image 12 displayed on the display screen can use for the battle based on the elapsed time from the time when the image recognition unit 32 recognizes the color code string 30. The detected power is displayed on the display screen by the display control unit 34.

  The identification code detection unit 36 detects whether or not another color code 25 exists within a predetermined range around the color code 25 recognized by the image recognition unit 32. The warning unit 37 performs warning processing when the identification code detection unit 36 does not detect another color code 25 within a predetermined range. Further, when the user recognizes the color code 25 of both cards when the user overlaps the user card 20 and the character card 21 and holds the card over the photographing device 5, the warning unit 37 displays a display indicating that the card is correctly recognized and an audio output. Do.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen during the progress of the game. In this game, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, two users perform an action of superimposing the user card 20 and the character ID card 22 on the photographing device 5, respectively. Character images 12 corresponding to the users battle each other on the display screen.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the display screen is provided with a display area 41 for displaying a state in which the character images 12 are competing with each other. The battle is performed only for a predetermined time (for example, 90 seconds), and a display area 42 for displaying the remaining time until the battle is completed is provided. Each character has a limited power that decreases with the passage of time, and a display area 43 for displaying the remaining power (hereinafter, remaining power) is provided. The length of the shaded portion in FIG. 9 represents the remaining power. Furthermore, a display area 44 for displaying the number of participants in the game is also provided. Display control of the display areas 41 to 44 is performed by the display control unit 34.

  Although the specific rule of the game which the game execution part 9 performs is not ask | required, when the remaining time becomes zero, it can be considered that the user corresponding to the character with the most remaining power is the winner. Alternatively, the battle may be continued until the power of any character becomes zero, and the character with the maximum remaining power may be the winner. In this case, the display area 42 for displaying the remaining time may be omitted.

  The image processing apparatus 1 displays the result of winning or losing the game on the display screen in a display form that is easy for the user to understand. A specific display form is not ask | required.

  Moreover, the game execution part 9 may charge according to the time when each user participated in the game. At this time, a user with a high win rate may give a privilege such as lowering the amount to be charged or giving a special character ID card or item ID card.

  Furthermore, the game execution unit 9 determines the strength of each character by the remaining power and the numerical values of the three elements corresponding to the character. The reduction in the remaining power varies depending on the numerical values of the three elements corresponding to each character. For example, the higher the numerical values of the three elements, the greater the reduction in remaining power.

  In addition, the game execution unit 9 causes the characters to battle each other in consideration of the remaining power of each character and the numerical values of the three elements. At this time, using characters such as random numbers to prevent unpredictability in the development of the battle so that the characters do not always behave the same when the remaining power and the values of the three elements do not change again. It is desirable to have it.

  While the remaining power of the character described above decreases with the progress of the game progress time, the numerical values of the three elements corresponding to the character do not change because the numerical values recorded on the character ID card 22 are used as they are. .

  Therefore, the user may be able to forcibly change the behavior of the character by placing the item ID card 23 on the user card 20 and holding it over the photographing device 5 in the course of the game. Alternatively, the user may be able to change the type of character in the battle by overlapping another character ID card 22 on the user card 20 and holding it over the photographing device 5.

  For example, FIG. 10 shows an example in which a user named Taro Yamada holds another character ID card 22 while the game is in progress. The image recognition unit 32 in the image processing apparatus 1 recognizes a new color code string 30 and grasps that the color code 25 of the character ID card 22 has changed. Then, the information acquisition unit 33 acquires character information corresponding to the new color code 25. The game execution unit 9 and the display control unit 34 update the character corresponding to Yamada Taro on the display screen based on the acquired character information, and advance the game.

  When the user replaces the character ID card 22 during the progress of the game, it is desirable that the power detection unit 35 causes the remaining power of the character after replacement to take over the remaining power of the character before replacement. The reason is that if the remaining power of the character after replacement is set to 100%, the user who finally replaced the character ID card 22 always wins, and the game win / loss is simplified.

  Since the three elements of each character recorded on the character ID card 22 are different for each character, even if the remaining power of the character after replacement takes over the remaining power of the character before replacement, the remaining power decreases thereafter. Will be different, making the game more surprising and interesting. For example, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the three elements of the character before replacement are “from: 50, Hayashi: 30, morimori: 35”, and the three elements of the character after replacement are shown in FIG. 10 (a). As shown in the above, if “Chi: 70, Hayashi: 20, Mamori: 15”, the values of “Hayasa” and “Mamori” will decrease, but the value of “Chikara” will increase. Will behave differently. A user who possesses a plurality of character ID cards 22 needs to present the optimum character ID card 22 at the optimum timing after confirming the numerical values of the three elements of each character ID card 22, which is like an intelligent game. You can have various elements.

  In this way, since the way of winning or losing changes variously depending on at which timing the game is in progress, the user holds the new character ID card 22 or the item ID card 23, it is possible to prevent recklessness and requires skill, The user can enjoy the game for a long time.

  Another user may be allowed to participate in the game while the game is in progress. A newly participating user holds the user card 20 and the character ID card 22 over the photographing apparatus 5 in a state of being superimposed. The image recognition unit 32 in the image processing apparatus 1 recognizes the color card row of these cards and grasps that a new user has joined the game. The information acquisition unit 33 acquires character information corresponding to a new user from the management server device 8. The display control unit 34 displays a new character on the display screen based on the acquired character information and displays the remaining power of the character. Moreover, the game execution part 9 advances a game in the state including a new character.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a new user participates in the game. As shown in FIG. 11 (a), when a user named Sojiro puts his / her user card 20c and character ID card 22d on top of the photographing device 5, the display screen shows a screen as shown in FIG. 11 (b). The character image 12 of the sugar cane and the remaining power 43 of the sugar cane are additionally displayed. It is desirable to set the remaining power to an amount corresponding to the remaining time of the game. The reason is that if the remaining power is set to 100%, the game will become too stronger than the other characters and the game will become less interesting.

  Contrary to participation in the middle of the game, some users may be able to leave the game while the game is in progress. In this case, an exit card is prepared as a kind of character card 21, the exit card is overlapped with the user card 20 and held over the photographing device 5, and the image recognition unit 32 recognizes the color code 25 of the exit card. At the stage, the game execution unit 9 and the display control unit 34 may delete the corresponding character image 12 from the display screen and allow the remaining character images 12 to advance the game.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which a game is performed using the physically existing user card 20 and the character card 21 such as paper or plastic has been described. However, the user card 20 and the character card 21 may be a mobile phone, a smartphone, A virtual card image displayed on a display screen of a portable display device such as a tablet terminal may be used.
