JP5483316B2 - Battle-type flag raising game device - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a battle-type flag raising game apparatus, and more particularly, to a battle-type flag raising game apparatus in which an opponent is displayed on a display screen and is rich in presence.

Two opponents with flags in both hands faced each other and instructed the opponent while calling out “right up”, “left down”, “red up”, “down white”, etc. The flag raising game for competing whether or not the flag of the other party can be raised and lowered accurately is widespread, and a game apparatus simulating this is installed in a game center or the like and is enjoyed.
Further, in the following Patent Document 1, an image display device is provided in a flag swing game machine, and an image display that is visually varied according to the progress of the game and the determination result of the player's operation is performed. A game machine is disclosed.
However, all of these conventional flag-raising game devices are designed to perform a flag raising / lowering operation mechanically by a player operating an operation unit to determine a win / loss.
Therefore, the player could not dispel the image that he was playing against the machine, and lacked a sense of reality.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-63090

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and the object of the present invention is to display a captured image of the actual opponent on the display screen and to determine the result of the battle in real time, thereby providing a sense of presence. It is an object of the present invention to provide a battle-type flag raising game device that is rich in and capable of attracting the player's interest.

The flagging game apparatus according to the present invention is characterized in that two flagging game apparatuses to be played are connected via a communication line so that data can be communicated with each other, and an image including the upper body of the opponent is displayed. It was configured to be able to shoot a game with a digital camera and display it in real time on the display screen of the game device, and to play a flag game while watching each other's video (you can switch to your own video if necessary) is there.
Each win / loss is automatically determined by processing the video of the action performed by the player in response to the opponent's command and determining whether or not the action was performed according to the opponent's command. To do.

Three types of means are conceivable as means for causing the opponent and the game device itself to recognize flag raising commands such as “right up” and “left up”. As the first means, in the present invention, a push button, A flag raising command signal generator that generates a command signal by operating a joystick or the like is used.
Further, as a second means for causing the opponent and the game device to recognize the flag raising command, the present invention analyzes the image data of the player photographed by the digital camera and outputs the command signal by identifying the operation mode. An image analysis means is used.
Further, as a third means for causing the opponent and the game device to recognize the flag raising command, the present invention analyzes the voice signal of the player recorded by the microphone and outputs the command signal by identifying the voice mode. An audio signal analysis means is used.
Three types of methods are conceivable as a game determination mode in an individual flag game device, and a configuration corresponding to each method is adopted.
The first win / loss determination method is a method for determining whether or not the response action of the player who is playing the game on the game device (hereinafter referred to as “self”) is compatible with the opponent's command. . If it fits, you win. If you don't fit, you win. In other words, in this method, the game device determines whether or not its own response operation with respect to the opponent's command is appropriate.
The second winning / losing determination method is a method for determining whether or not the response action of the opponent complies with its own command. If it fits, the opponent wins. If it doesn't fit, you win. Therefore, in this method, the suitability of the opponent's response operation to the command of the player is determined by the game device of the player.
The third win / loss determination method determines whether or not its own response action is compatible with the opponent's command, and whether or not the opponent's response action is compatible with its own command. Is also determined. That is, it has both the first and second winning / losing determination methods.
Accordingly, a competitive flag raising game apparatus according to the present invention has nine types of forms as described in claims 1 to 9 by a combination of the above three types of flag raising command recognition means and the above three types of win / loss determination methods.
