  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing functions of the game machine 10 according to an example of the first embodiment. The game machine 10 includes a storage unit 20, a control unit 30, a gun 40 (input unit), a monitor 50 (display unit), and a speaker 60. The storage unit 20 mainly includes a game program storage unit 21 and a correspondence table 22. The game program storage unit 21 stores a game program to be executed on the game machine 10. The correspondence table 22 will be described later with reference to FIG.

The control unit 30 appropriately reads and executes various programs such as a game program stored in the storage unit 20 to implement various functions according to the present invention in cooperation with the hardware described above. The control unit 30 mainly includes a position calculation unit 31, a collation unit 32, a selection unit 33, an expected position calculation unit 34, an extraction unit 35, a change unit 36, and a display control unit 37. Each of the above functions will be described as appropriate in the flowcharts described later.
Note that the computer in the present invention refers to an information processing device including a storage device, a control unit, and the like, and the game machine 10 is an information processing device including the storage unit 20, the control unit 30, and the like. Included in computer concept.

The gun 40 is a gun-type controller that the player P holds and operates, and includes a lens 42, an image sensor 44 such as a CCD, and a trigger 46.
For example, the input signal is transmitted to the control unit 30 by operating the trigger 46 of the gun 40 or by the player P swinging the gun 40. The control unit 30 can determine whether a bullet or the like hits an enemy character or the like by analyzing the imaging data of the imaging element 44 when the trigger 46 is pulled. In addition, during the play, the control unit 30 analyzes the imaging data of the imaging device 44 in real time, and calculates the position of the gun 40 in the XZ plane based on the positional information of the infrared LEDs 15a to 15d. That is, the control unit 30 calculates the position of the gun 40 in the XZ plane based on the output of the position detection unit composed of the imaging device 44 and the infrared LEDs 15a to 15d.
The monitor 50 is a display device such as an LCD (liquid crystal display device) for displaying play contents.

Next, the game image displayed on the monitor 50 will be described.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game image according to an example of the first embodiment.
The monitor 50 displays a city (field) formed in a virtual three-dimensional space. Above the monitor 50, an own score 51, an enemy score 52, and a timer 53 are arranged and displayed in order from left to right. The own score 51 indicates the score of the player P. Similarly, the enemy score 52 indicates the score of the entire enemy. In the example of FIG. 3, it is understood that the player P is dominant because the enemy score 52 is “210” while the own score 51 is “370”. The timer 53 displays the remaining time in seconds.

On the lower right side of the monitor 50, the remaining number of bullets 54 is arranged and displayed. A hit point portion 56 is arranged and displayed on the left side of the remaining number of bullets 54 and below the center of the monitor 50. As the remaining number of bullets 54, the number of remaining bullets that can be used by the player P is displayed together with the number of bullets held at the beginning of the play. Moreover, the hit point part 56 represents the physical strength of the player P with a gauge. The hit point portion 56 gradually decreases each time the enemy is attacked, and the play ends when the gauge of the hit point portion 56 becomes zero or the value of the timer 53 becomes zero. If the value of the timer 53 is 0, the process may proceed to the next stage.
A radar 55 is arranged and displayed at substantially the center of the monitor 50. In the radar 55, the player P points the muzzle of the gun 40 toward the monitor 50, so that the control unit 30 receives a signal from the gun 40 and is displayed in the direction of the muzzle. Note that the radar 55 can be hidden in order to further improve the difficulty of the game.

  Further, the enemy character E1 and the enemy character E2 are displayed on the monitor 50 as the enemy character E. A plurality of enemy characters E exist on the screen, move in the field while hiding behind obstacles, and attack the player P. When the player P defeats the enemy character E1 and the enemy character E2, the score of the own score 51 is increased and the game can be won.

Next, the play process will be described.
FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of play processing according to an example of the first embodiment.
First, in step S <b> 1, the control unit 30 starts playing based on an input from the player P. The input from the player P means punching out the “game start” position displayed on the monitor 50 using the gun 40, for example.
Next, in step S2, the control unit 30 performs gesture processing described with reference to FIG. Thereafter, in step S3, the control unit 30 determines whether or not an operation for shooting the gun 40 has been accepted. Specifically, the determination is made based on the input signal transmitted to the control unit 30 when the player P pulls the trigger 46 of the gun 40. When the operation of shooting the gun 40 is received (step S3: Y), the control unit 30 moves the process to step S4. On the other hand, when the operation of shooting the gun 40 is not received (step S3: N), the control unit 30 moves the process to step S2.

In step S4, the control unit 30 performs a gun shooting process. Specifically, when the player P pulls the trigger 46, the control unit 30 detects the light displayed on the monitor 50 by the lens 42 and the image sensor 44 provided at the tip of the barrel of the gun 40, The landing position on the monitor 50 is calculated. Then, the control unit 30 displays an image landed at the landing position on the monitor 50, and damages the enemy character E within a predetermined range from the landing position.
Thereafter, in step S5, the control unit 30 determines whether or not the hit point of the player P displayed on the hit point unit 56 is zero. When the hit point of the player P is zero (step S5: Y), the control unit 30 moves the process to step S6. On the other hand, when the hit point of the player P is not zero (step S5: N), the control unit 30 moves the process to step S3.
In step S6, the control part 30 complete | finishes this process, after complete | finishing a play.

  By this process, when the player P pulls the trigger 46 of the gun 40, the gesture process is ended. Therefore, while the player P pulls the trigger 46 and shoots the enemy character E, the play content is changed. The special attack shown is not activated to change the content of the play. Therefore, the player P can concentrate on the gun shooting operation.

Next, gesture processing will be described.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart of gesture processing according to an example of the first embodiment.
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a trajectory 58 by a gesture according to an example of the first embodiment.
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the correspondence table 22 according to an example of the first embodiment.
First, in FIG. 5, in step S <b> 11, the position detection unit detects the position of the gun 40, and the control unit 30 (position calculation unit 31) is based on the imaging data of the imaging element 44 that is the output of the position detection unit. The position of the gun 40 in the XZ plane is calculated from the movement of the gun 40 (input unit).

Next, in step S <b> 12, the control unit 30 (collation unit 32 and selection unit 33) selects a figure that matches the trajectory of the movement of the gun 40 from the correspondence table 22.
Here, a specific example will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 (1) shows a monitor 50 and a gun 40 having a muzzle directed toward the monitor 50. Next, when the player P moves the hand holding the gun 40, the position of the gun 40 in the XZ plane is moved, for example, as shown in FIG. Here, from the correspondence table 22 in FIG. 7, a figure that matches the locus 58 shown by linking the positions of the guns 40 is selected. The correspondence table 22 shown in FIG. 7 is activated when a figure 221 storing various figures and a movement that matches the figure are performed. For example, “all enemies displayed on the monitor 50 are damaged” A special attack 222 (play element) that changes a play content such as an attack is stored in association with each other. Here, among the figures stored in the figure 221, the position indicated by a black dot is the place where the locus starts, that is, the starting point of the gesture. The position indicated by the arrow is the end point of the trajectory of the gun 40 for activating the special attack 222. For example, when the position of the gun 40 moves from the state shown in FIG. 6 (1) to the state shown in FIG. 6 (2) according to the locus 58, it corresponds to the figures (A) and (B) in the correspondence table 22 shown in FIG. To do. (C) in the correspondence table 22 shown in FIG. 7 moves to the right from the start point, and does not correspond to the movement shown in FIG. The trajectory 58 shown in FIG. 6 is shown for explanation and is not actually displayed on the monitor 50, but the trajectory 58 may be displayed on the monitor 50.

  Returning to FIG. 5, next, in step S <b> 13, the control unit 30 (expected position calculation unit 34) based on the graphic selected from the correspondence table 22, the gun after the gun 40 that is expected when a predetermined time has elapsed. An expected position 59 that is a movement position indicating the position 40 is calculated. Here, FIG. 6 (3) shows the calculated expected position 59. The control unit 30 (display control unit 37) can display the expected position 59 on the monitor 50.

  Returning to FIG. 5, in step S <b> 14, the position detection unit detects the position of the gun 40, and the control unit 30 (position calculation unit 31) is based on the imaging data of the image sensor 44 that is the output of the position detection unit. The position of the gun 40 in the XZ plane is calculated from the movement of the gun 40 (input unit). Next, in step S15, the control unit 30 (collation unit 32) determines whether or not the movement position of the gun 40 is within the range of the expected position 59 calculated in step S13 described above. When the position of the gun 40 is within the range of the expected position 59 (step S15: Y), the control unit 30 moves the process to step S16. On the other hand, when the position of the gun 40 is outside the range of the expected position 59 (step S15: N), the control unit 30 ends this process because there is no gesture corresponding to the correspondence table 22.

  In step S <b> 16, the control unit 30 determines whether there is one graphic selected from the correspondence table 22. When the number of selected figures is one (Step S16: Y), control part 30 moves processing to Step S17. On the other hand, when there are two or more selected graphics (step S16: N), the control unit 30 returns the process to step S12 and continues from step S12 to step S16 until the number of selected graphics becomes one. Repeat the process.

  Next, in step S <b> 17, the control unit 30 (collation unit 32) determines whether or not the trajectory 58 of the movement of the gun 40 is a part of the selected graphic. When it is determined that it is a part of the selected graphic (step S17: Y), the control unit 30 moves the process to step S18. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not a part of the selected figure (step S17: N), the control unit 30 moves the process to step S19. It is not a part of the selected figure, it contains elements that are different from the selected figure (if it does not match the selected figure), or it is the entire selected figure (the entire selected figure) ). Here, FIG. 6 (4) corresponds to a part of the figure of (A) in the correspondence table 22 of FIG.

In step S18, the position detection unit detects the position of the gun 40, and the control unit 30 (position calculation unit 31) determines the gun 40 (input unit) based on the imaging data of the imaging device 44 that is the output of the position detection unit. The position of the gun 40 in the XZ plane is calculated from the above movement. Thereafter, the control unit 30 moves the process to step S17.
On the other hand, in step S19, the control unit 30 (collation unit 32) determines whether or not the trajectory 58 of the movement of the gun 40 is in accordance with the selected figure. When it is determined that the figure is the same as the selected figure (step S19: Y), the control unit 30 moves the process to step S20. On the other hand, when it is determined that the selected figure is not as it is (step S19: N), the control unit 30 ends this process. Here, FIG. 6 (5) shows a case where the position of the gun 40 is greatly deviated to the right from FIG. 6 (4), and is no longer part of the figure of FIG. 7 (A). Therefore, this process ends. Moreover, FIG. 6 (6) shows the case where it is as the figure of (A) of FIG. Therefore, the process of step S20 is performed.

  In step S20, the control unit 30 (extracting unit 35 and changing unit 36) extracts the special attack associated with the selected graphic from the correspondence table 22, and activates the special attack. Then, the control part 30 complete | finishes this process.

  As a result of this process, the player P makes a gesture with the gun 40, whereby a trajectory 58 shown in association with the position of the gun 40 can be obtained. And the special attack corresponding to the figure which the locus | trajectory 58 obtained by operation | movement of the player P draws can be extracted by the correspondence table 22. Therefore, when the player P makes a gesture suitable for the figure stored in the correspondence table 22, a special attack can be activated and the contents of the play can be changed. Since the gesture of the player P can be performed integrally with the play, the player P can enjoy the play without interruption. As a result, the game can be interesting.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the game machine to which the present invention is applied will be described.
In the second embodiment, the degree of effect of a special attack, which is a change in play content, is changed according to the size of the trajectory of the position of the gun.
Note that, in the following description and drawings, the same reference numerals or the same reference numerals are given to portions that perform the same functions as those in the first embodiment described above, and overlapping descriptions will be omitted as appropriate.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the correspondence table 122 according to an example of the second embodiment.
In response to the gesture of moving the gun 40 by the player P, the degree of the special attack is changed in accordance with the size of the captured graphic. Therefore, the correspondence table 122 includes, in addition to the items of the graphic 1221 and the special attack 1222, It has a size 1223. Since the graphic 1221 and the special attack 1222 are associated with the special attack for each graphic of the graphic 1221, for example, the more complex the graphic, the more advantageous special attack can be activated. The size 1223 is divided into three, a large 1223a, a medium 1223b, and a small 1223c, and is determined based on whether or not the size of the trajectory exceeds a predetermined range. For example, when the figure shown in (A) is determined, the damage level of the enemy is set to “10P” when it is determined to be a large figure, and “3P” when it is determined to be a small figure. This is because the player P performs a large movement because the defense against the enemy is weakened, and thus the risk is high. Therefore, the attack power is increased to the high risk. Addition of such conditions can be expected to improve the fun.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above. In addition, the effects described in the embodiments are merely a list of the most preferable effects resulting from the present invention, and the effects of the present invention are not limited to those described in the embodiments.
