  FIG. 5 is a configuration diagram of the game apparatus 1 using the optical sensor 500 as the detection unit 130. The optical sensor 500 includes a pair of a light emitting unit 510 that emits a light beam having a predetermined frequency and a light receiving unit 520 that receives the light beam emitted from the light emitting unit 510. The light emitting unit 510 and the light receiving unit 520 are configured as one sensor. Are arranged side by side so as to face each other on the outer frame portion of the main display unit 11. Each light emitting unit 510 of the optical sensor 500 emits a light beam having a predetermined wavelength, for example, infrared light, toward the light receiving unit 520 located at the opposite position. When the player's foot blocks the light beam, the light receiving unit 520 cannot receive the light beam, so that the presence of the player's foot can be detected. When the optical sensor 500 detects the player's foot, the optical sensor 500 transmits a detection signal to the control unit 110. The optical sensor 500 is not limited to a distance sensor using infrared light, and various sensors may be used. In addition, according to the distance sensor using infrared light, there exists an advantage with a quick reaction speed compared with the sensor using an ultrasonic wave etc. When the optical sensor 500 is used, the protective cover 450 is not necessary, unlike the case where the pressure sensor unit 440 configures the detection unit 130.

  The detection unit 130 according to the present invention is not limited to these, and can be configured by any known sensor that satisfies the technical idea of the present invention.

  The control unit 110 starts the process of FIG. 6 in response to the player inserting a predetermined number of coins from the coin insertion slot 24 and receiving the confirmation signal from the coin confirmation unit 140.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a game main process according to an example of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. First, the control unit 110 displays a selection reception screen on the sub display unit 21 and receives selection of a game type from the player (step S101). Here, the player can select a game such as a “mole stepping game” or an “onigoko game”. When the selection of “mole stepping game” from the player is received (step S102), the control unit 110 initializes the work area of the storage unit 120 (step S103). After completing the initialization, the control unit 110 generates a random number, generates the game progress control table shown in FIG. 7, and stores it in the work area of the storage unit 120 (step S104).

  Here, the symbols may include images and symbols to be displayed on the main display unit 11 such as targets and marks.

  In the example of FIG. 7, 30 targets such as moles are displayed as symbols. The uppermost value is a number indicating the order of the target. Next, the value in the second row indicates the display interval, and indicates how long the target target is displayed after the previous target has elapsed. The controller 110 sets an arbitrary time between 0 seconds and 5 seconds, for example. The control unit 110 randomly determines the assignment of this arbitrary number. In addition, 0 second shows displaying simultaneously with the previous target. The value on the third row indicates the location (hole symbol) where the target is displayed. For example, ten positions from A to J are prepared as the positions where the targets are displayed. Also regarding this alphabet, the control unit 110 randomly determines and assigns alphabets A to J. In the fourth row, a value indicating the character to be displayed is designated. For example, three types of “normal mole”, “poo”, and “powerful mole” are prepared as characters, and correspond to the numbers 1 to 3, respectively. The control unit 110 randomly determines and assigns numbers 1 to 3. Depending on the character, the score (point data) can be changed. For example, if you step on "Poop", you can deduct it, or you can not defeat "Powerful Mole" twice (the score (point data) is doubled) The game apparatus 1 can be provided with various changes by combining various configurations. The value at the bottom indicates the display time and indicates how long the target of interest is displayed. For example, 1 to 3 seconds are set. The controller 110 randomly determines a number from 1 to 3.

  FIG. 8 shows the display timing of the target displayed along the game progress control table shown in FIG. The vertical axis is the target hole symbol, and the horizontal axis is the display time. For example, in the hole symbol of C, the target appears from the hole of C for 3 seconds from 2 seconds to 5 seconds after the game starts. This is an example of the second mole in FIG.

  For example, by accepting an input of a level such as a beginner at the start of the game, the display time of each character can be lengthened, and the appearance rate of characters other than normal characters can be reduced.

  The game main process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the generation of the game progress control table is completed, the control unit 110 causes the main display unit 11 to display a target mole according to the order of the game progress control table (step S105). After displaying the target, the control unit 110 performs a timer start process (step S106), and performs a determination process described later (step S107). This timer is used when determining whether or not the predetermined timing is reached (step S108), and is reset by the control unit 110 when the predetermined timing is reached (step S109). The predetermined timing refers to a display interval of the game progress control table. Until the final appearance number of moles is reached, the control unit 110 displays the target on the main display unit 11 in accordance with the conditions of the game progress control table (step S110). Note that different images are displayed on the main display unit 11 depending on the target. FIG. 9 is an image when the target is “normal mole”, and FIG. 10 is an image when the target is “poo”. FIG. 11 shows an image when the target is a “powerful mole”.

  When the target display number reaches the final appearance number, the control unit 110 ends the game (step S110). In the game, the higher the score (point data) obtained, the more likely it is to win, and the highest score (point data) of the game apparatus 1 and the score (point data) played by the player are obtained. Both may be displayed on the sub display unit 21.

  Next, FIG. 12 will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing details of the determination process (step S107) described in the flowchart of FIG. The determination process is performed by determining whether or not the target has been stepped on by the player within the target display time. The control unit 110 performs a timer start process after starting the determination process (step S201). The control unit 110 uses this timer when determining whether or not the predetermined time is reached (step S212), and the control unit 110 resets when the predetermined time has come (step S213). The predetermined time refers to the display time of the game progress control table.

  Next, the control part 110 determines whether the target was stepped on (step S202). The control unit 110 detects whether or not the target has been stepped on by receiving a detection area including a circle area circumscribing the target image and position data on the main display unit 11 from the detection unit 130. The determination is made based on whether or not the area where the player's foot is stepped overlaps. If there is an overlapping portion, control unit 110 determines that the target has been stepped on, and transitions to the next process (step S203).

  When it is determined that the target has been stepped on, the following processing is performed according to the target character that has stepped on. First, when the player steps on “normal mole”, the control unit 110 displays an image of the stepped mole as shown in FIG. 13 (step S204) and adds a score (point data) (step data). S205). Next, when the player steps on “poop”, the control unit 110 displays a stepped poop image as shown in FIG. 14 (step S206) and subtracts the score (point data) (step S206). S207). Finally, when the player steps on “Powerful Mole”, the control unit 110 first counts the number of times the same character has been stepped on. A rare and slightly weak mole image is displayed (step S211), and the process is continued. If the number of times of stepping is the second time, the control unit 110 displays the stepped mole image as shown in FIG. 13 (step S209), and adds bonus points as points (point data) (step S210). ).

  Here, the point data may be stored in the storage unit 120 as a score acquired by the player in the game as in the above example, or conversely, the control unit 110 may be used as a deduction point of the player in the game. May be stored in the storage unit 120. Or the control part 110 may memorize | store in the memory | storage part 120 as information used internally regarding the said player in a game.

  So far, the “mole stepping game” according to the present invention has been described, but the game provided by the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the control unit 110 may cause the sub display unit 21 to display the target image immediately before displaying the target image on the main display unit 11. By displaying the next image on the sub display unit 21, the player can know the target location and character that will appear next, and can prepare for the next hand, so aim for a high score (point data). be able to. Further, by displaying the next image on the sub display unit 21, a beginner can serve as a guide for smoothly playing the game. Further, by displaying the next image on the sub-display unit 21, a person watching around the game apparatus 1 can see the next hand. Therefore, the player and the spectator are advised by giving advice to the player. May be able to enjoy the game together.

  Further, by providing a heart rate sensor (not shown) that can be worn by the player via the game machine main body 20 and the connection cord, when the player plays a game with the heart rate sensor, the heart rate is reduced. A corresponding process can be performed. For example, when the heart rate of the player exceeds 120, the control unit 110 can prevent the heart rate from exceeding a certain level by increasing the target display interval and display time. In this case, the player can play the game while maintaining a constant heart rate, which is equivalent to aerobic exercise, and a diet effect may be expected. In addition, by controlling the game so as not to raise the heart rate extremely, the game device 1 with good health can be provided and may be used for rehabilitation.

  FIG. 16 shows a state in which the player enjoys the “big game” using the game apparatus 1 of the present invention. The “insect” (mark) that looks like “ani” moves on the main display unit 11, and the player escapes so as not to be caught by the “insect” (mark). Similar to the “mole stepping game”, a game is provided in which the position of the player's foot and the display position of the “insect” (mark) image can be determined and enjoyed so that they do not overlap at the same time. be able to.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the game game process according to an example of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. When the control unit 110 accepts the selection of the “big game” from the player in step S101 of FIG. 6, the control unit 110 performs a timer start process (step S301). This timer measures the time during which it was possible to escape from the mark from the start of the game, and the control unit 110 causes the sub display unit 21 to display the time measured by the timer at the end of the game (step S313). .

  The control unit 110 displays the mark on the main display unit 11 and moves it on the main display unit 11 according to a predetermined locus (step S302). Thereafter, the control unit 110 performs processing for starting the timer 2 (step S303). This timer 2 is used when determining whether or not the position of the player's foot has been detected on the main display unit 11 for a certain period of time (step S308). (Step S304), the controller 110 resets (Step S305). Also, when the position of the player's foot cannot be detected for a certain time or longer, the control unit 110 resets the position (step S309). The fixed time refers to the time that the player considers the game end because the player is away from the main display unit 11, and is specified in advance as, for example, 3 seconds.

  If the position of the player's foot can be detected, then the control unit 110 determines whether or not the mark has been stepped on (step S306). The control unit 110 detects whether or not the mark has been stepped on by receiving a detection signal including a circle area circumscribing the image of the mark and position data on the main display unit 11 from the detection unit 130. It is determined by whether or not it overlaps with the area where the foot is stepped on. If there is an overlapping portion, control unit 110 determines that the mark has been stepped on, and the game ends when the game is over (step S310). If there is no overlapping portion, the control unit 110 continues the game.

  When the game is continued, the control unit 110 determines whether or not the designated time has been reached (step S312). When the designated time is reached, the game ends as a game clear. The designated time refers to the maximum possible time of the game, and is designated in advance as, for example, 5 minutes. If the player can escape from the mark successfully, the player can enjoy the game on the game apparatus 1 for a maximum of 5 minutes.

  If the designated time has not been reached, the control unit 110 displays the mark on the main display unit 11 (step S302). The time from displaying the immediately preceding mark on the main display unit 11 until displaying the next mark on the main display unit 11 is very small, for example, about 1/30 second, and this process is repeated. Thus, for the player, the mark displayed on the main display unit 11 feels as if it were a moving image.

  When the game is over (step S311) or when the game is cleared (step S312), the control unit 110 displays the play time on the sub display unit 21 as the game is over (step S313). And the control part 110 performs a timer clear process (step S314), and complete | finishes a process.

  Up to this point, the “Onigoko game” according to the present invention has been described, but the game provided by the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when the game is cleared, the control unit 110 displays on the sub-display unit 21 that the game has been cleared, and re-executes the game game with a higher level such as increasing the number of marks. Also good.
