The print image memory 3 stores an image (image displayed on the CRT 6) instructed by the player to print, and can store images for a plurality of screens.

The hard disk (HD) 9 stores a plurality of character images that can be synthesized and a plurality of types of background images.

The character image is the same person,
There are a plurality of images, and images for a plurality of characters are prepared. Furthermore, in HD9, FIG.
Is prepared. The table in FIG.
Two pieces of flag information are stored for each of the above images that can be used for compositing. The first flag information is print enable / disable flag information indicating print enable / disable by 1/0 of a bit.
If the flag of bit 1 is set, it indicates that printing of a printing image using this image is prohibited (printing is not performed). When the bit 0 flag is set, it indicates that printing is permitted.

In this embodiment, the contents of the printability flag for each image are predetermined. The second flag information is use flag information indicating whether or not the data is used for display with bits 1 (used) / 0 (unused). As for this flag information, the use presence flag corresponding to the used image is changed to bit 1 when a composite image for display is created by a game device program as in the related art. When the display is completed, the corresponding flag information is changed to unused.

The present invention focuses on the fact that an image used for display has flag information indicating whether or not the image is used.
Flag information indicating whether or not printing is possible is newly provided for each image,
It is characterized in that printing is restricted by this flag information.

Returning to FIG. 1, reference numeral 2 denotes an operation button for instructing printing by a manual operation of a player. Reference numeral 6 denotes a CRT for displaying a plurality of print images for which a game content and a print instruction have been issued. For this purpose, the display screen of the CRT 6 is divided into a game display area and a print image display area.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a facsimile transmitter / receiver which converts a designated image among the print images stored in the print image memory 3 into a communication device having a designated dial number (the facsimile transceiver / personal computer is connected). Send to

A printer 8 prints a print image in the print image memory 3. Print image for F
The player instructs whether to perform AX transmission or transmission to the printer 8 using operation keys (for example, numeric keys) (not shown).

The print control processing during a game executed in such a system configuration will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 3 shows C in the controller 5.
4 shows main processing of a processing program executed by a PU. FIG. 4 shows a print control processing procedure executed when a print instruction is issued from a player.

When a coin is inserted into the game device and the game can be started, and the start button of the game is operated, the processing procedure of FIG. 3 is started (step S1).
(YES determination of 0). At the start of the game, an inquiry as to whether to use the printer 8 or the facsimile transceiver 7 is displayed on the CRT 6 and the player selects an image output device using an operation key (not shown).

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the printer 8 has been selected. When the player selects the FAX transceiver 7, the telephone number of the transmission destination is also input. Thereafter, the player plays a game similar to the conventional game. In order to perform a game-related display, the controller 5 reads a character image and a background image from the HD 9 according to a combination instruction specified in a game program (built-in the ROM in the controller 5), combines the character image and the background image into the image memory 4, I will remember. In the following description, when the images used for these two types of synthesis are collectively referred to as partial images.

The display composite image is read by the controller 5 and output to the CRT 6. The player operates a game operation button or the like (not shown) to play the game. In response to this operation, according to the game program,
The controller 5 changes the combination of partial images to perform image synthesis, and displays a new game on the CRT 6 (step S20).

The player operates the operation button 2 when a desired screen of the CRT 6 appears. When this operation is detected in step S30 in FIG. 3 (step S30), the process proceeds to a printing process (step S40, described in detail in FIG. 4), and the designated screen is printed while being in parallel with the game. Thereafter, the loop processing of steps 20 to S50 is repeated until the game is over, and the screen designated by the player is printed.

The present embodiment differs from the prior art in that printing is determined with reference to the printing determination information shown in FIG. 2, and if the determination is obtained, printing is not performed. It is.

Details of the print control for this will be described with reference to FIG. When a printing instruction is issued from the player, the processing procedure of FIG. 4 is started. The controller 5 initially turns on a print permission flag (stored in the RAM in the controller 5) indicating whether or not to copy the display image temporarily stored in the image memory 4 to the print image memory 3 and perform printing. Set. (Step S100). Next, HD9
Is searched for the image used in the current display. More specifically, the use presence / absence flag of FIG. 2 is read from the top, it is determined whether the flag is bit 1, and an image having the bit 1 flag is detected (loop processing in steps S110 to S130). FIG.
In the example, since the image B and the image C are used for display, the image B is detected first (YES determination in step S120).

Next, the controller 5 determines whether the print permission flag corresponding to the detected image, in this case, the image B in FIG. 2 is bit 1 (step S16).
0). Since the print permission flag of the image B is set to bit 0, the determination in step S160 is YES (print permission), and the print permission flag (R in the controller 5) is set.
AM) remains on indicating print permission.

The procedure returns to step S110, and the flag information relating to the next image C in the table of FIG. 2 is checked. Since the use flag indicates use and the print enable / disable flag indicates print prohibition, the procedure is as follows: Step 120 ← S160 ←
The process proceeds to S170, where the print permission flag is set to off indicating print prohibition. In addition, a display indicating that the corresponding image (in this case, the image) cannot be printed is displayed on the CRT 6.
(Step S180).

The procedure returns to step S110. Thereafter, when an image used for the current display is detected from the use presence / absence flags for all the remaining images, the print enable / disable flag is further checked. If prohibition is indicated, a message indicating that printing is not possible is displayed on the CRT 6 (step S180).

If the print permission flag indicates permission, the procedure proceeds to step S120 ← S160 ← S11.
The table search of FIG. 2 is continued through the path of 0. In this manner, by performing a search for the images described in the table of FIG. 2, the (partial) image currently used for synthesizing the entire image displayed on the CRT 5 is displayed.
An image is detected.

If at least one of the partial images has a print rejection flag, the print permission flag is set to off, and the search is terminated (step S13).
The print permission flag of 0) is off. For this reason,
In the determination of the print permission flag in step S140, it is determined to be off, that is, it is determined that printing is prohibited, and printing is not executed (step S140 → end).

On the other hand, if all of the partial images stored in the printing image memory 3 and used for synthesizing the entire image have a printable flag, the print permission is determined in step S140. Is obtained, the procedure proceeds to step S150, the print image stored in the print image memory 3 is sent to the printer 8, and
Printing is performed. When the fax transmission is instructed, the print image is output to the fax transceiver 7. In addition, the output image is
The image is reduced by the controller 5 and displayed on the CRT 6.

As described above, each time the player operates the operation button 2 during the game, the above-described processing procedure of FIG. 4 for the printing process is executed, and the printing is performed for the entire image using the unprintable image. Restrict.

In response to the end of the game (step S in FIG. 3)
50 YSE determination), and the processing procedure of FIG. 3 ends.

The following embodiment can be implemented as a modification of the first embodiment.

1) In the above-described embodiment, the partial image used for the composition is provided with flag information indicating whether or not printing is possible. Although there is no problem if printing is allowed for the partial image used in the game alone, there may be a problem when the entire image is synthesized using a plurality of different images. In order to restrict printing of such an entire image, an identification number is given to the partial image and stored in the table of FIG. The combination of images for which printing is prohibited is stored in the form of an identification number in the HD 9 or in the program of FIG. Each time a print instruction is issued, the partial image used for the entire image for which the print instruction is issued is obtained by the use presence / absence flag in FIG. Is determined by the controller 5 to restrict printing of a composite image of a plurality of partial images. Whether the printing is restricted by a single partial image, the printing is restricted by a combination of partial images, or both are performed may be determined appropriately by the game apparatus manufacturer.

2) In the above embodiment, an example in which printing is restricted has been described. However, when external output of a composite image (image for display) by a communication device such as the FAX transceiver 7 is performed in the same manner as printing. Then, the permission / prohibition of the output may be controlled by the controller 5.

(Second Embodiment) The first embodiment described above is an example in which a player manually designates an image to be printed. Next, a second embodiment in which the controller 5 automatically determines the entire image to be printed will be described. The second embodiment can have the system configuration of the first embodiment as shown in FIG. 1, but differs from the first embodiment in the hardware configuration in that the operation button 2 indicates the automatic mode. Also,
The difference in software processing is that the controller 5 executes the processing procedure of FIG. 5 instead of FIG. Further, the point that the game played by the player is a game for competing for points is also different from the first embodiment.

The operation of the system according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The user operates the operation button 2 when the user wants to execute the automatic print mode, for example, when he / she uses both hands for a game operation and cannot give a print instruction. Accordingly, in the processing procedure of FIG. 3, the operation of the operation button 2 is detected in step S30, and the processing proceeds to step S40, in this case, the processing proceeds to the processing procedure of FIG.
In FIG. 5, the controller 5 calculates a score in the game in parallel with the game processing (step S2).
00), each time a new score is obtained, it is compared with a predetermined score (step S210).

While the score of the game is equal to or less than the reference value, the procedure repeats the loop of steps S200 → S210 → S230 → S200. When the score of the game becomes equal to or more than the reference value, the procedure is changed from step S210 to step S22.
Then, the display image stored in the image memory 4 at this time is copied to the print image memory 3. Also, a reduced image of the same image is displayed in a dedicated area of the CRT 6 (step S220).

In this manner, every time the player obtains a score equal to or higher than the reference value, the image displayed at that time is cumulatively stored in the printing image memory 3 and also displayed on the CRT 6. You. When the game is over (YES in step S230), the controller 5 confirms that the image is stored in the image memory 3 for printing, and displays a guidance message for allowing the player to select an image to be printed on the CRT 6 on the CRT 6. I do. The player uses a pointing device such as a mouse (not shown)
A plurality of reduced images on the display screen of the CRT 6 are designated (step S250).

The controller 5 reads the print image corresponding to the designated reduced image from the print image memory 3, outputs the read image to the printer 8, and causes the hand printer 8 to print the image (step S260).

In this embodiment, by detecting the point in time at which the score of the game is equal to or higher than the reference value, the display image displayed at that point can be automatically printed.

In the above-described second embodiment, the player has selected the automatically determined print image. However, the print image may be entirely printed without making the selection.

(Third Embodiment) In the above-described second embodiment, printing cannot be performed unless the game is equal to or more than the reference value. Will be described. The processing procedure for this is shown in FIG.
Shown in After the player sets the automatic print mode using the operation button 2, the processing procedure of FIG. 6 is started. Further, the temporary maximum score value is initialized (stored) to a numerical value 0 in the RAM in the controller 5. Players in the game sequentially,
For example, 10, 50, 40,. . . Each time a score is obtained, the loop processing between steps S300 to S340 is repeated.

In this loop processing, the score initially obtained (calculated in step S310), in this case, 10 points, the initial provisional score maximum value of 0, and the controller 5
(Accurately, CPU) (Step S32
0). Since the score is larger than the temporary maximum score, the procedure proceeds to step S330, and the controller 5 changes the current 10 points to the temporary maximum score. Also,
The display image used at this time is copied from the image memory 4 to the print image memory 3. In the case of this embodiment, every time a print image is newly acquired, the print image is overwritten and stored on the previous print image. Therefore, the selection of the print image by the player is not performed as in the second embodiment.

When the above-described processing is performed every time a score is obtained, 50 points become the temporary maximum value of the score.
Since the point is smaller than the tentative score maximum value (50 points), the procedure proceeds from step S320 to step S340, and the tentative score maximum value remains at 50 points.

When such processing is executed while the game is being played, the highest score obtained by the player is detected,
The same image as the image displayed at that time is taken into the print image 3. When the game is over, the controller 5 causes the printer 8 to print the print image stored in the print image memory 3 (steps S340 → S350).

This embodiment is suitable for a game in which the score changes over time.

The following embodiment can be carried out in addition to the first to third embodiments.

1) In the above-described first to third embodiments, a single controller 5 performs a control process for a game and an image output process such as printing, but these processes are performed in parallel by a plurality of controllers. May go.

2) In the second and third embodiments described above,

3) In the first to third embodiments, instead of the instruction by the operation button 2 or in addition to the instruction of the instruction button 2, an instruction by a player's voice can be performed. In this case, a predetermined player's voice such as "take" or "still" is input by a microphone, and an instruction is identified by a voice recognition device. When the voice recognition device identifies that the voice has been generated, the voice recognition device sends a print instruction signal to the controller 5. The controller 5 takes in the composite image at this time into the print image memory 3 and prints it. Thus, the user can print a desired image without using his / her hands by giving both a print instruction by voice and an automatic print instruction.

4) In the first to third embodiments, a printing service can be provided in place of a prize. In addition, a fee can be charged separately from the price of the game device. In this case, after printing a guidance message on the CRT 6 prompting the user to insert a bill when performing printing, the coin mechanism (not shown) is used to confirm the insertion of a predetermined price for printing, In accordance with the print permission signal (payment input confirmation signal) from the mechanism, the composite image determined in each of the first to third embodiments is printed according to the instruction of the controller 5. If the payment is not made after a certain period of time has elapsed after the display of the payment introduction message, the controller 5 may determine that printing is not performed.

5) It goes without saying that a game device combining the first embodiment and the second embodiment (or the third embodiment) may be created.

6) In the second and third embodiments, automatic printing is possible after the automatic setting mode is manually set. However, the automatic mode may be set by the controller automatically from the start of the game. . In addition, as in the past, a mode for specifying an image for printing by manual operation,
It is also possible for a player to select the automatic image designation mode of the second and third embodiments.
