Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively display an image in a limited display area by displaying a part of an image that is larger than a display part, scrolling the displayed part to show other parts of the image and stopping the scrolling operation at a position where a prescribed part of the image is displayed. SOLUTION: A processor 10 reads the image data on a selected phantom out of a ROM 12 and outputs a part of this image to a display device 6. Then, the image is scrolled to show the undisplayed parts of the phantom image on the device 6. This scrolling operation can display at least once the entire part of the image although the part shown first overflows the display of the device 6 and is not displayed. Thus, the entire shape of the phantom can be grasped. Furthermore, the principal part or characteristic part of the phantom image can be shown by a scrolling operation after the entire image of the phantom is shown by the scrolling operations.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image display system and a game device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art 1) First, various types of large and small amusement devices having an image display device are conventionally known. Particularly, in a small and inexpensive portable amusement device, an image display device having a small and relatively simple structure is employed, for example, a liquid crystal display device having about 32 × 24 dot matrix segments is used. In a game device provided with such an image display device, only a relatively simple game image can be displayed.

Displaying an image having a complicated shape requires many segments (for example, an image requiring 32 × 48 dots for display), and the number of segments exceeds the number of segments of the display device. Are too large to be displayed on the display device at one time.

2) Second, in a so-called role-playing game, there is known a role-playing game in which various characters appear as the game progresses so as to keep the player from getting bored. In particular, in this type of game, different characters appear depending on the content of a selection arbitrarily made by the player in each scene, thereby preventing the game from being standardized and the player's interest from decreasing.

However, it is enormous to develop a different story according to a player's selection, to introduce a different character according to a scene, or to increase the difficulty of a game as the game progresses. Requires programs and data. In particular, with a small and inexpensive portable game device, it is impossible at all to secure a storage capacity for recording such a huge amount of programs and data. On the other hand, if the types of characters appearing are small, or if the order in which the characters appear is a predetermined order even if the number of characters is large, the interest of the player decreases. Also, if the order in which the various characters appear is completely random, a situation may occur in which the player has to play a difficult game immediately after the game has just started, which also reduces the interest of the player.

3) Thirdly, in recent years, there have been game machines which have a communication function and can play a character held by the player against a character held by another player. In this type of amusement devices, there is a type of game device in which the winning or losing of a match is determined by the strength parameter of each character, and the character is strengthened by “training” the character before the match. There are things that can be done.

However, it takes time to raise and train one's own character, which may cause the player to get bored. On the other hand, if you eliminate the training steps and try to determine the competitiveness of each character only from the strength parameter that each character has from the beginning, you will know from the beginning that the battle has been won or lost, and the pleasure of both players playing will be fun. Will be reduced.

It is as if a player can enjoy the feeling of capturing something with this pseudo capture game device.

The operation switch 4 is operated by a voice input switch 41 provided near the center of the main body 2, an enter key 42, a cancel key 43 provided on the right side of the main body 2, and up, down, left and right (icon selection, Direction operation keys 44, 45, 46, and 47 for scrolling an image).

The liquid crystal display panel 6 has a matrix segment (main screen display section) 61 of 32 × 24 dots, and a display section 62 for displaying various icons and numerical values. In the liquid crystal display device of this embodiment, each segment of the liquid crystal is ON or O
An image is displayed by performing binary display of the FF.

(2) Internal Configuration FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the pseudo capture game device of the present embodiment. The pseudo capture game device is a microprocessor,
A processing device 1 having other components is provided.
The microphone 3, the operation switch 4, the built-in speaker 5,
The liquid crystal display device 6 and the connection terminal 7 are connected.

The processing device 1 includes a microprocessor (MP)
U) 10, ROM 1 storing programs and data
1, a RAM 12 used as a buffer or the like, a non-volatile memory 13 for storing game data such as captured youkai data, an audio waveform shaping circuit 14, an input / output interface 15 of operation switches and speakers, a liquid crystal driver 1.
6. A communication device 17 is provided, which is mutually connected via a bus.

The ROM 11 stores data of 127 types of monsters (data such as image data, match strength, detectable time, detectable voice, etc.). These youkai are
It is divided into 107 types of monsters that can be captured in the detection and capture mode described later, and 20 types of monsters that appear in special cases.
Furthermore, 107 types of monsters have match strength, attributes (morning (from 3:00
10:00) One that can be captured, one that can be captured during the day (from 10:00 to 18:00), one that can be captured at night (from 18:00 to 2:00 the next day), and a detectable voice (the “voiceprint numerical value” described later) (From a sound to a low sound).

FIG. 3 shows the number of monsters belonging to each category in a table. For each of the three attributes (morning, noon, and night), the battle strength is shown in columns and the detectable voice is shown in rows. Have been.

(3) Outline of Operation of Playing Apparatus The pseudo-capturing playing apparatus according to the present embodiment inputs a voice from the microphone 3 and detects and captures a youkai that is assumed to be possessed by the voice in the play. "Detection / capture mode", fortune-telling using captured monsters, "mini-game mode" for training for other game modes, "scroll mode" displaying captured monsters, other games Connected to the same kind of pseudo-capture game device owned by the player via a communication line, played against the youkai owned by other players, and the owner of the winning youkai,
It is possible to execute a “communication battle mode” in which a lost youkai can be obtained from its owner. In addition, the game device has a “clock function” for recognizing the time, and a “setting function” for the player to make various settings.

FIG. 4 (a) shows a processing flow when a player turns on the power for the first time after purchasing the game device. When the player turns on the power (removes the insulation of the power battery, etc.), a predetermined opening screen is displayed (S60).
1) A clock setting screen is displayed (S602). When the player sets the time on the clock, "Let's input your voice"
Is displayed, and the input of the voice of the player is prompted (S603). When the player presses the voice input switch 31, the microphone 3 senses the player's voice for 4 seconds,
The "voice print value" of the voice is calculated (S604).

The "voice print numerical value" indicates the number of peaks of a sound wave sampled per second, which is a simple measurement of the fundamental frequency of a voice. If the sound is high, the “voiceprint numerical value” is high.

The input voice waveform and "voice print value" are recorded in the nonvolatile memory 13 (S605).
It will be used as a reference value for power-up processing of the youkai character in subsequent games.

As described above, the waveform of the voice and the "voice print value" recorded in S605 are performed only when the game device is in the initial state, and thereafter, unless the game device is reset and the recorded data is deleted. , S605 are not performed. Therefore, the data recorded in S605 necessarily remains as data of the voice of the owner of the game device. Since the similarity between the data and the data to be input thereafter is a criterion for the power up of the character in the subsequent game, the power up is most easily performed when the owner of the game apparatus uses the game. As a result, the owner's desire for possession is satisfied, and the owner's enjoyment of the game is doubled.

(4) Processing for Determining a Detected Youkai FIG. 5A is a flowchart showing a procedure of processing for determining a detected youkai when the processing device 10 detects a ghost. The player selects the detection / acquisition mode,
When the voice input button 31 is pressed, the microphone 3 senses the voice for two seconds and calculates the “voiceprint numerical value” of the voice (S401). The processing device refers to the time when the voice is sensed (S402), and refers to the non-volatile memory as to which level of the match-up level of the youkai that can be detected at that time can be detected. Confirm (S
403).

The “voiceprint numerical value” of the voice recognized above,
The detectable monsters are listed in the processing device based on the three times of the voice detection time and the detectable battle strength (S
404), one yokai is selected from the list by lottery (S405).

(5) Display Process of Detected Youkai As shown in FIG. 6, the youkai selected in S405 is:
The image is displayed on the matrix display section 61 of the liquid crystal display device 6.
As shown in the example of FIG. 6, when the image of the youkai cannot be represented in 32 × 24 dots and is too large to fit on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device at once, After displaying a part of the monster so that the characteristic part (the part of the monster's face if there is a face) is displayed, the processing device processes the image based on the program so that the non-display part is displayed. Scroll.

FIG. 7A is a flowchart showing a procedure for displaying a detected monster on a display device.
The processing device 10 converts the image data of the selected youkai into RO
The data is read from M12 (S501). Then, a part of the image (for example, a “main part” described later) is output to the display device (S502).

Next, the image is scrolled so that an undisplayed portion is displayed on the display device. Due to this scrolling, the part that was initially displayed may protrude from the display part and may not be displayed, but by displaying the entire image at least once, you can grasp the overall shape of the youkai. can do.

After the entire image is displayed by scrolling, the processing device further scrolls to a position where the “main part” (or characteristic part) of the image of the youkai is displayed, and stops the scrolling there. Here, the “main part” refers to a part that best represents the characteristics of the youkai, such as the face of the youkai.

(6) Capturing the Detected Youkai Thereafter, the processing device executes a capture game to “capture” the detected youkai. The capture game is displayed as "dots" where the detected youkai moves around on the display screen, and the player overlays a cursor indicating "net" on this, and presses the determination button 42 when the cursor is overlaid. , To capture the detected youkai.

The speed at which the youkai escapes on the display screen is so set that the stronger the battle strength of the youkai is, the higher the difficulty of capturing it is. When the player succeeds in the capture, the number of the captured youkai and the battle strength are recorded in the nonvolatile memory 13.

(7) Updating Group Updating Process The detectable level (upper limit group) referred to in S403 of FIG. 5A relates to three attributes (morning, daytime, and night) when the game device is purchased at the beginning. Both are at the lowest level, so that only the youkai in the group with the lowest match strength can be detected. With respect to a certain attribute, provided that the player has captured a predetermined number (for example, 6) of the monsters in the upper limit group, the upper limit group is set so that the higher level monsters can be detected and captured. Be updated.

FIG. 5B is a flowchart showing a procedure for updating the upper limit group. At the time of capturing the monster, it is determined whether or not the update condition of the detectable level (upper limit group) is satisfied. Judgment is made (S406), and if the upper limit is provided, the upper limit group recorded in the nonvolatile memory is updated (S407).

In the present embodiment, the condition for updating the upper limit is whether or not the number of games that the player has "successfully" acquired has reached a predetermined number. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The condition may be that the number of plays or the number of plays reaches a predetermined number.

(8) Scroll Mode The player can display the monsters captured so far on the liquid crystal display device 6 by the following method. As a result, the captured youkai can be viewed and enjoyed, and the selection of the youkai in the mini game mode and the communication battle mode described later can be facilitated.

When the player selects the scroll mode, the processing device causes the display device to display the total number of the captured monsters (see FIG. 8). The total number of captured youkai is represented by the number of "dots" wandering on the screen and Arabic numerals. The “dots” that move on the screen represent the captured monsters one by one.
Each point is moved randomly and displayed.

Further, an image of the captured monster and other detailed data (name, attribute, power, etc.) can be displayed for each monster. If the player chooses to display the image of a youkai and the image of the youkai is larger than the display, only the main part of the youkai is displayed first, and the player looks at other parts. If desired, scrolling can be performed using the direction operation button.

FIG. 7B is a flowchart showing a procedure for displaying an image of a monster larger than the display section in the scroll mode. The processing device 10 calls the image data of the monster from the ROM (S511), and outputs the image data to the image display device so that the main part is displayed on the display unit (S512). If the player has not selected to shift to another mode as it is (S513) and has performed a scroll operation (S514), scroll processing is performed according to the operation (S515).

(9) Mini Game Mode Using the captured youkai, the player can play a mini game such as fortune-telling, "synchro", and capture practice.
In particular, the “synchro” game is a game for the player to practice so that the player can advantageously compete in the “competition mode” described later. As described later, in the battle mode, if the player inputs a voice immediately before the battle, and the voice is close to the player's own voice recorded in S605 of FIG. Battle power increases. Even if a good result is obtained in the “synchro” game, the power of the youkai can be increased with a certain probability.

FIG. 4B is a flowchart showing a processing procedure when the player selects "Synchro" in the mini game mode. When "Synchro" is selected, the processing device prompts the player to select one of the captured monsters (S611). When the player selects a youkai, a message prompting the player to input the voice is displayed. When the player inputs the voice, the waveform is recorded and the “voiceprint value” of the voice is calculated (S612). ).

Next, the processing device performs the processing in S6 of FIG.
The data of the player's voice recorded in 05 and the data of the player's voice analyzed in S612 are compared to determine how much commonality exists, and the result of the determination is displayed (S613).
Here, when the commonality of both data is high, the “sync rate 8
A display such as "0%" is output. In this case, in the battle mode described later, the youkai selected in S611 is doubled in power with a probability of 4/10.

(10) Competitive Mode A player connects his / her own game device 1 to the same type of game device 1 possessed by another player by a communication connector 7 so that they can communicate with each other. The captured monster can be played against the monster captured by another player. The player who wins the match can acquire the monster of the opponent, and the player who loses in the match loses his / her own monster used in the match. The victory or defeat of the battle is determined by a parameter indicating the strength of the battle of the youkai characters fighting.

(11) Processing for Determining the Competitive Strength For each of the youkai, the “competitive strength” is previously determined and recorded in the ROM 11, but the competitive strength is temporarily determined depending on other conditions. Is changed to "Other conditions" include, when the player succeeds in "synchro" in the match mode, when the player succeeds in "synchro" in the mini game mode, and when the "attribute" of the youkai is May have an advantage over it.

FIG. 4C is a flowchart showing a procedure in which the processing device 10 performs a process for determining a match strength. First, when the player selects the battle mode, a message prompting the player to select a monster to be used in the battle is displayed on the display device (S621). When the player selects a monster and further inputs a voice, the processing device receives the voice through the microphone, records the waveform thereof, and calculates the “voiceprint numerical value” (S622). Further, the voice data of the player who first recorded this data in S605 of FIG. 4A is compared to determine how similar the data is (S623). When the similarity is high, the power of the youkai is increased up to three times at the maximum, and when the similarity is low, the strength of the battle becomes weak.

On the other hand, regardless of the similarity determined in S623, the processing device 10 performs a lottery to determine whether or not to power up (S610). In this lottery, S in FIG.
If the power-up probability is set at 614, 40
With a probability of%, the strength parameter is doubled. If the power-up probability has not been set in S614, the battle strength parameter doubles with a probability of 10%.

Further, when two game devices are connected, and the processing devices of the game devices recognize each other's opponent characters, based on the attribute determined based on the "detectable time" of the opponent character, It is determined whether to increase the battle strength parameter (S625). In particular,
"Morning Detectable Youkai" increases in strength when playing against "Daylight Detectable Youkai", and similarly, "Daytime" Youkai increases in strength when playing against "Night" Youkai. The strength of night yokai increases when you play against the morning yokai.

Based on the results of the determination in S623, S624, and S625, the processing device determines the power of the youkai to compete with, changes the parameters, and records them in the RAM 12 (S626). The parameters changed here are temporary, and in the next battle, the voice similarity is determined again (S623), the lottery based on the probability (S624),
A determination is made based on the relationship with the opponent (S625) to determine the parameters. As a player, there is no need to "foster" the characters, and even if various monster characters are selected depending on the mood at the time, there is no disadvantage in the battle, so that the game device can be tired.

(12) Other Modifications FIG. 9 shows a game machine according to a modification of the present invention, in which a person's voice is compared and analyzed with normal times, and a comment when the distance from normal times is large is made. Is an amusement device that determines that "is a lie". FIG.
