Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image display device, and more particularly to an image display device suitable for use in sniper games and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, a sniper game or the like is known in which a target is enjoyed by sniping at a target. The sniper game device is an image display device for displaying a target VIP (Very Important Person) It was composed of and. The image display device displays a panoramic view of the city where the target is lurking,
The aim was to find a target in the city of buildings using the sighting device attached to the gun, aim at it, and take a sniper.

[0003]

However, the conventional image display device used for a sniper game or the like uses, for example, one ordinary television monitor, and the displayed image is a rough image of a building street or the like. It was not possible to display the target's whereabouts in detail. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult for the player to enter the displayed scene and enjoy the game by immersing himself in a sniper game or the like.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an image display device which allows a player to enter a scene displayed on the image display device and further enjoy the game. To aim.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.

That is, the first image display means for displaying the first image on the external display device, the selection means for selecting an arbitrary area within the first image, and the area selected by the selection means are detected. And a second image display means for displaying the second image of the area selected by the selection means in the first image according to the detection signal from the detection means. .

[0007]

According to the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, when an arbitrary area in the first image is selected by the selecting means, the selected area is detected by the detecting means. Further, the second image of the selected area is displayed on the second image display means, and the second image becomes a finer image than the first image.

1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention, FIG.
FIG. 3 is an external view of an embodiment of the present invention. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, the image display apparatus of the present invention is roughly composed of an image control section 2 and a sniper display section 3. The sniper display section 3 is the above selection means and the background screen display means 8 is the above. The first image display means and the detection device 17 are the above-mentioned detection means, the CPU (Central Processing Unit) 4 and the detailed screen display means 12 are the above-mentioned second image display means.

The image controller 2 includes a housing 22 as shown in FIG.
The CPU 23, the sound generator 5, the coin I / O 7, and the background screen display means 8 are mounted on the board 23 stored in
RAM (random access memory) for storing rough image data 9, scroll data 10 and game progress data 11, detailed screen display means 12, detailed image data 13, scroll data 14, and game progress data 15. RAM and a speaker 6 are provided in the housing 22.

The sound generator 5 generates a sound signal such as a shooting sound and causes the speaker 6 to speak. Coin I /
O7 supplies the coin insertion information to the CPU 4 and the coin ejection information from the CPU 4.

The background screen display means 8 displays a rough image such as a panoramic view of a building street on the television monitor 1 which is an external display device, based on the image data 9, the scroll data 10 and the game progress data 11.

The detail screen display means 12 includes image data 13
Based on the scroll data 14 and the game progress data 15, the CPU 4 controls the liquid crystal monitor 16 provided in the sniper display unit 3 to display an image finer than the image on the television monitor 1 under the control of the CPU 4 as described later.

Further, the sniper display section 3 includes the above-mentioned liquid crystal monitor 16, a detection device 17, a ball joint 18, and
A RAM for storing the horizontal movement data 19 and the vertical movement data 20 and an input device 21 which is a trigger of the gun are arranged.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the sniper display section 3
Has a rifle-like shape, ball joint 1
It is supported by the support column 24 so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction h and the vertical direction v via the line 8. The support column 24 is fixed on the housing 22 of the image control unit 2.

The player 25 can see the screen display of the television monitor 1 through the sighting device 26. When the sniper display unit 3 is rotated in the horizontal and vertical directions while watching the screen display of the television monitor 1, the ball joint 18 is rotated, and the horizontal movement data 19 and the vertical movement data 20 corresponding to the rotation position are obtained. It is supplied from the detection device 17 to the CPU 4. As shown in FIG.
A rough panoramic view of the building street as shown in (A) is displayed.

When the player 25 finds a target, a shutter (not shown) arranged in front of the sighting device 26 is closed by touching the trigger 27 with a finger, for example. At the same time, the display on the liquid crystal monitor 16 is started, and the player 2
5 is a half beam splitter 28, reflecting mirrors 29 and 30
The screen display of the small and thin liquid crystal monitor 16 can be viewed via.

The CPU 4 prepares a detailed image prepared in advance as the image data 13 in the area selected and instructed by the direction of the sniper display section 3 from the image on the television monitor 1 according to the detection data from the detection device 17. The detail screen display means 12 is controlled to display. This image is displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 16 and, for example, as shown in FIG. 3 (A), a fine screen of the window where the target is standing is formed.

As described above, according to this embodiment, an arbitrary area in the rough panoramic image displayed on the television monitor 1 is selected by changing the orientation of the sniper display unit 3 horizontally or vertically, By the control of the CPU 4, it is possible to view a finer image of the window portion on the liquid crystal monitor 16, and thus, when used in a sniper game or the like, there is an advantage that the sensation can be enhanced and the game can be enjoyed.

The above-described image display device is not limited to use in a game device such as a sniper game, but the appearance of the image can be selected by instructing a target store, restaurant or the like from a rough map image of the whole city. It may be possible to configure the business contents to be displayed in detail.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, an arbitrary area within the first image selected by the selecting means is detected by the detecting means, and the second image of the selected area is changed to the second image. Since the image is displayed on the image display means, an arbitrary area in the rough first image displayed on the external display device is selected by the selection means, and the fine second image is displayed by the second image display means. It can be seen, and when it is used in, for example, a sniper game, it has a feature that the sense of presence is increased and the game can be enjoyed.
