Description

  The present invention relates to a voice recognition game apparatus and a recording medium, and more particularly to a voice recognition game apparatus and a recording medium that use a voice recognition to move a pet as a character on a display unit.

As is well known, gaming devices are known in which voice information is input to have a conversation with a character pet or to operate a pet. For example, there are those in which a player speaks to a microphone for voice recognition and trains a pet, and others learn information including voice received from an owner and train a robot.
Thus, it is excellent in that a more realistic feeling can be experienced by manipulating the character or the like by voice input as compared to moving the character by a key or the like.

  However, in the above conventional voice recognition game apparatus, a command given to a character or a robot (hereinafter referred to as a character) by a player or a robot owner (hereinafter referred to as a player) is not registered in advance. Since the character does not move, and the relationship between the command and the character's motion is usually associated, for example, the command “run” corresponds to the command “hashire” It was lacking in fun as a gaming device. In addition, pet owners often want to train their pets to follow their own orders and develop pets that are true to them.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the object of the present invention is to enable a player to arbitrarily determine a command to a character, and to realize voice recognition that is excellent not only in reality but also in originality. A gaming device and a recording medium are provided.

  The present invention is pre-registered with a display unit for displaying a character, a voice input unit for inputting a command for the character by voice, a voice recognition processing unit for recognizing voice input from the voice input unit, and the like. When a command corresponding to the motion of the character is recognized by the voice recognition processing unit, the voice recognition gaming device includes an internal processing unit that displays the motion on the display unit, the display unit, A plurality of instructions or the like to be input by voice are displayed as options, and the internal processing unit displays the action of the character based on an option recognized as being input by voice among the options when there is a voice input in the voice input unit. It is characterized by that.

  The present invention is pre-registered with a display unit for displaying a character, a voice input unit for inputting a command for the character by voice, a voice recognition processing unit for recognizing voice input from the voice input unit, and the like. When a command corresponding to the motion of the character is recognized by the voice recognition processing unit, the voice recognition gaming device includes an internal processing unit that displays the motion on the display unit, the display unit, A plurality of instructions or the like to be inputted as voices are displayed as options, and the internal processing unit, when there is a voice input in the voice input part, coincides with the voice input from among the plurality of displayed options or the like to be inputted as voices Only the selected option is displayed on the display unit, the non-matching option is deleted from the display, and the action of the character is displayed based on the option recognized as voice input among the options. It is characterized in.

  The present invention includes a display unit that displays a character, a voice input unit that inputs voice commands and the like, and a voice recognition processing unit that recognizes voice input from the voice input unit, and is registered in advance. When a command corresponding to the motion of the character being recognized is recognized by the voice recognition processing unit, a computer-readable recording medium recording a program that operates on a voice recognition game device that displays the motion on the display unit A plurality of instructions for voice input on the display unit as options, and when there is a voice input in the voice input unit, based on the option recognized as voice input among the options, And causing the computer to perform an operation display step.

  The present invention includes a display unit that displays a character, a voice input unit that inputs voice commands and the like, and a voice recognition processing unit that recognizes voice input from the voice input unit, and is registered in advance. A computer-readable recording medium storing a program that operates on a voice recognition gaming device that displays an action corresponding to an action of the character being recognized by the voice recognition processing unit when the voice recognition processing unit recognizes the action. A plurality of instructions for voice input on the display unit as options, and a voice input in the voice input unit, when there are voice inputs in the voice input unit, Only the choices that match the input are displayed on the display section, the choices that do not match are deleted from the display, and the choice that is recognized as voice input among the choices. Characterized in that to perform the step of displaying the operation of the character on the basis of the limb to the computer.

According to the present invention, a plurality of instructions or the like to be input by voice are displayed as options, and when there is an audio input, the action of the character is displayed based on the option recognized as being input by voice. When selecting a command, the person can easily recognize the command to be selected.
In addition, according to the present invention, a plurality of instructions or the like to be input by voice are displayed as options, and if there is a voice input, only the options that match the voice input are selected from the plurality of displayed options such as instructions to be input by voice. Since the option that is displayed and erased is deleted from the display and the action of the character is displayed based on the option recognized as being voice-input among these options, the player can receive the voice input as a command by voice recognition processing. It is possible to obtain an effect that an instruction can be selected while checking how it is recognized.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. This voice recognition game apparatus uses voice recognition as a game means, and is a video game for training characters. This is a speech recognition game in which words spoken by the player are displayed as they are while manipulating the breeding characters with words, and misrecognized words also have a specific meaning.
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a housing 1 for implementing a voice recognition game apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The housing 1 is provided with a display screen 2, a controller unit (consisting of levers and buttons) 3, an audio output unit 4, an audio input unit 5, and a personal data input unit 6.
The voice input unit 5 is for inputting the voice of the player, and constitutes the game input means of this embodiment together with the controller unit 3. The personal data input unit 6 is provided for reading and writing the data recording card 7.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the voice input input from the voice input unit 5 is sent to the internal processing unit 9 through the voice information processing unit 8, and the controller input input from the controller unit 3 is sent to the internal processing unit 9. Sent to. The personal data input input from the personal data input unit 6 by the data recording card 7 is also sent to the internal processing unit 9. Based on each information sent to the internal processing unit 9 in this manner, a result display is output to the display screen 2 and an audio output is output from the audio output unit 4 to the player. The voice recognition game is stored in a CD-ROM as a computer-readable recording medium and can be used for home use or business use. For business use, information may be exchanged by connecting from a center using a network. Of course, it is also possible to connect two units and compete with each other by communication.

Next, the overall flow of the game by the voice recognition game device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. Note that the description will be given with reference to the drawings used to describe a specific game flow to be described later.
The goal of the game is for the player to become the owner and train the pet to learn words and then participate in the competition and aim for the first place. Each competition has certain actions (commands) that must be remembered to participate. That is, the competition which can participate can be changed by selecting the words that the player learns from the pet in association with this action.
The general game flow is as follows.
(1) Acquiring / calling pets (after the second) (2) Training (3) Competing

Each item will be described below.
(1) Obtain / call pets (from the second time on)
Players get their own pets. Select a favorite pet from several types (see FIG. 4), give the pet a name, and at the same time enter the name of the owner (see FIG. 5). Basic parameter values such as “chinese”, “smart”, and “appearance” are set for each pet, and each pet has an originality. In the case of the second and subsequent play, the player can call his pet and continue the play.
If you don't take care too much, you will forget your language and your pet will be adversely affected.

(2) Training / Selecting a Command “Command” indicates an operation that a player learns from a pet. Therefore, one operation is assigned to one command. To participate in a competition, it is necessary to learn the commands necessary for that competition. When selecting a command, the player can select a command while viewing the display because what kind of competition can be entered when the command is remembered is displayed on the display screen (see FIGS. 14 and 15).

・ Remember the owner's words If you do not let the pet remember the owner's words, you will not know when the pet should move. Therefore, the player who is the owner associates a word with a command here. For example, the word “run” is associated with a command “hashire” corresponding to “running operation”. This allows the pet to move with the player's words. Pets may learn words by mistake, especially at the beginning, but the words they understand are displayed on the display screen as a “pet heart window”, which can be easily confirmed by the player. it can. In order to remember the words, for example, the words can be repeatedly input within a certain number of times or within the time limit until the pet understands the intention (see FIG. 6).
Here, the degree of understanding (to be described later) of a pet when learning this word greatly affects the parameters (to be described later) of the pet later.

-Reminding a motion Reminding a motion is a training for making the motion assigned to the command better (for example, at just timing) (see FIG. 7). This result is reflected in the execution level (described later). First, a screen showing a certain situation with a pet (depending on the command) appears, and the timing marker starts to move. The player inputs by voice aiming at just timing. Since the degree of coincidence between the player's input and the timing marker is the execution level (execution timing, speed, height, etc. of the command), it affects the advantage / disadvantage of the competition using the command.
For example, if the command is “hashire”, the timing marker is meat, and the just timing is the moment when the meat is positioned at the bottom, the meat supported by the stick moves up and down, The timing at which the pet starts to run when positioned below can be used as the just timing, or the timing at which the pet bites when the meat is positioned at the bottom can be set as the just timing.

(3) Performing the competition The commands required to participate in the competition are preset. The player uses the command to operate the pet and clear the theme (see FIGS. 8 and 9). At this time, parameters obtained from the pet understanding rate and the execution level affect the actual movement of the pet. Rival pets will participate in the game as well, so the goal is to win rewards and win reward items. The reward item affects the basic parameter value (described later) such as “Chikaru” UP if it is meat.

There is a ranking in the competition (see FIG. 11), and it can be a goal to aim for the first place of all participating pets including the past by challenging many times. If it falls within a certain rank, records such as owners and pet names are registered in the competitor list, and there is a possibility that other pets will be selected as competitors when they are challenging the competition. The competitor is selected from the competitor list according to the level of the pet that has challenged, and the acquisition status of commands necessary for the competition and basic parameter values are used as the judgment material.
For example, the list is displayed as “2000/4/20, 15:24 Participating in a jump box game and third place”.

-Follow pets Here, the player communicates with his pet according to the result of the competition (see FIG. 12). For example, praise if an excellent grade is given.
The communication result here is reflected in the basic parameter value and reliability of the pet. For example, if praised, the confidence level of a pet owner increases.

Next, specific game contents will be described.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of the game.
This game is performed in the procedure of obtaining a pet in step S01, naming the pet in step S02, training the pet in step S03, participating in the competition in step S04, and going to the award ceremony in step S05. . Here, after the commendation ceremony is given in step S05, it is possible to return to step S03 to perform training again and to participate in the competition again in step S04.

"Get a pet"
When the pet is obtained, as shown in FIG. 4, various pets are displayed on the display screen together with “normal”, “hard”, and “professional”. Cats, dogs, horses, chickens, rabbits for normal pets, penguins, snakes, crocodiles, sea lions, hippos for hard pets, robots, pegasus, dragons, aliens, etc. for professional pets Can do. Each pet can select a favorite pet of the player by operating the controller unit 3.

Here, what the player arbitrarily determines as individual pet information includes the name of the owner and the name of the pet. In addition, what is determined at the time of pet selection includes age, sex (male (♂), female (♀), other (?)), And the personality of the pet (such as decoy, naughtiness, and violence). In addition, what changes during the game includes the “understanding rate”, “basic parameter value”, “reliability”, “execution level”, and “state” of the pet.
The “basic parameter value” indicates smartness, appearance, and the like. “Reliability” indicates the degree of trust between the pet and the owner. If the degree of trust is high, the pet faithfully executes what the owner said, and if the degree of trust is low, the pet tells the owner. It understands, but does not execute or operates differently from the instruction.
The “execution level” mainly indicates instruction execution timing, and is a level such as speed and height. For example, 50/100 (50%) is indicated. In the case of running, for example, it is a value that starts as soon as an execution level is commanded, and starts to run when the execution level is low.
“Status” indicates the quality of the pet's health. The “understanding rate” of the pet is obtained by multiplying the voice recognition rate of the voice recognition processing unit (voice recognition software) 8 by the pet characteristic data (coefficient). Here, the characteristic data is a predetermined coefficient obtained from the age, sex, personality, basic parameter value, reliability, and state of the pet. Here, the speech recognition rate is secured to a certain level by performing calibration to some extent.

"Name your pet"
When naming a pet, the player inputs his / her favorite name to the voice input unit 5 of the housing 1 by voice. Compared with the case where the alphabet is selected and input, it is possible to input easily. Moreover, since the naming method is the same as that for an actual pet, it is realistic. As shown in FIG. 5, for example, when a pet is a dog and named “Gonta”, voice input is performed until “Gotta” is displayed in the window of Pet's heart. For example, recognized words are displayed as they are, such as>Oh,>Konta,> Konta. When the word “GOTTA” is recognized in the window of the heart of the pet, select “GOTATA” with the lever of the controller unit 3 and press the button. Then, the display screen 2 displays that the recognized pet is “Gonta”, which is a male dog, and displays the reliability and basic parameter values. For example, “Shinrai 24%, Chikara ☆☆, Skill ☆” is displayed.
At this time, the pet's heart window displays an indication of the decision, for example, decision! A message stating that the name of the pet has been determined to be “Gonta” is displayed. For example, “My name is Gonta!” Is displayed. At this time, the name of the owner player is also input. This input is also made by voice.

"Train your pet"
When training, first, an action to be learned by the pet, that is, a command is selected. The commands are registered in advance and are displayed on the display screen 2 as a command list (see FIGS. 13 and 14). At this time, in addition to the list of registered commands, the display screen 2 also displays what competitions can be participated in when the commands are learned. The player selects a command that the pet wants to learn from the command list (for example, selects a corresponding command with the lever of the controller unit 3 and presses a button), and sends a command corresponding to the command to the voice input unit 5. input. As shown in FIG. 6, for example, when a command “hashire” corresponding to a running action is to be remembered, the display screen 2 displays a display indicating that the pet is a dog “gonta”. A display indicating that the current command is “Hashire”, for example, “Let's touch Hashire” is displayed. Here, the characters voiced by the player are sequentially displayed in the pet's heart window. For example>,> Maybe? ＞ ,> Maybe? ,> Fall? The recognized words are displayed as they are. At this time, the player is not a common command such as “run” or “RUN” generally associated with the running motion, but a word irrelevant to the running motion, for example, his / her name, idol singer name / group name, Voice can be selected and input arbitrarily as a command to the pet for the running action.

There are three training opportunities, for example, and five voice input opportunities are given to one training. As a result of five voice inputs, if there is a correct answer only once as described above, the player selects the correct answer. Therefore, since the correct answer is 1 out of 5 times, the understanding rate is 20%. Here, when there is no correct answer, for example, the lowest understanding rate can be 10%. This understanding rate is displayed on the display screen 2.
When one training is completed, the second training is performed, and the player performs voice input again. At this time, the player can increase the comprehension rate by performing voice input so that the pet can easily recognize while referring to the result of the first training.

The number of voice inputs in one training is not limited to 5 and may be 10 times. In addition, the understanding rate is determined based on how many times the voice input can be recognized, but it may be determined how many times it was recognized. For example, the recognition rate may be 100% when recognized for the first time, 50% for the second time, 33% for the third time, 25% for the fourth time, and 100 / n% for the nth time.
Here, this understanding rate is originally determined as the speech recognition rate by the performance of the speech recognition processing unit 8 when the player speaks a word, but the pet type, the command type, the pet type This understanding rate is corrected by characteristic data determined by basic parameter values and the like. In addition to this, the voice recognition rate can be corrected by taking into account the age, personality, state, and reliability of the pet to obtain the pet's understanding rate.

Specifically, the characteristic data (pet type, command type, pet basic parameters, age, personality, state, reliability determined by the pet) of the pet is multiplied by the voice recognition rate to correct it. In this way, the understanding rate can be obtained and made closer to reality.
In other words, the voice recognition rate described above is not conventionally used as an element for establishing a game, but in such a breeding game, the voice recognition rate is used as an understanding rate that is a factor that determines the overall ability of the pet. This makes it possible to approximate the ability of an actual pet to understand what the owner says, making the game more realistic and increasing the degree of completion as a breeding game.

  Next, let the pet remember the action using the commands that the pet learned. As shown in FIG. 7, for example, when an operation corresponding to a command “hashire” is remembered, the display screen 2 displays a voice indicating that the pet is a dog “Gonta” and a voice is input by the player. Command is displayed. In addition, the road on which Gonta runs and the timing marker (meat here) are displayed, and the timing marker starts to move up and down. The player inputs with the aim of just timing. Incidentally, FIG. 7 to FIG. 9 show screen displays when the player selects the word “Pac-Man”, which is not normally associated with the running motion, as a command in response to the command “hashire” corresponding to the running motion. Here, Gonta, which starts running with the voice input “Pac-Man” by the player, reaches the level of 100% if the timing marker reaches this position at the lowest position. In this way, the degree of coincidence between the player's input and the timing marker at the position where the timing marker has come down (for example, a temporal deviation from the coincidence) is indicated as the execution level. Therefore, on this screen, whether or not the word “Pac-Man” is recognized becomes a problem, and since the timing of issuing the word is a problem, Gonta starts running even with words other than “Pac-Man”. Since the level is a parameter of the command, it affects the advantage / disadvantage of the competition using the command. In this display screen 2, the execution level of the command “Hashire” is 50%.

In other words, the pet's “understanding rate” described above indicates whether or not to run, and “execution level” refers to how to enter the run at just timing, whether to run linearly, or how fast to run. It shows technical things like how to jump high.
Then, a parameter that is the overall ability of the pet is determined based on the execution level and the understanding rate.

“Participate in the competition”
Prior to participating in the competition, the competitions that can be entered in accordance with the commands that are remembered are determined. For example, when the memorized command is “hashire”, “migi”, “hidari”, “jump”, “tomare”, as shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. “Flying catch” and “maze”.
If you remember many commands, you can participate in many competitions. Also, remembering the command is advantageous when playing a game. FIG. 14 shows an example of a screen in which all the competitions are displayed and only the competitions that can be participated are blinking or displayed in a different color. FIG. The example of a screen where is displayed is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the competition display screen 2 displays a command name in addition to the competition name “short distance run”. The command names that can be used in this competition are displayed. The entered command is displayed at the top of the display screen 2. The runway assigned to each pet is displayed on the entire screen, and pets other than “Gonta” participate in the competition as competitors. When two casings 1 are connected, the opponent's pet is also displayed. “Gonta” runs aiming at the goal with the words entered by the player (in this figure, “Pac-Man”), but if the player makes an input error, the words will become obstacles on the runway, obstructing the pet and the speed at which the pet will run. Words that have been missed, such as losing, are also game-friendly. For pets other than Gonta, each goal is aimed at a goal in response to a command based on a preset program. The remaining time is displayed on the display screen 2 as, for example, “23 seconds remaining”. Then, when the goal approaches, the vicinity of the goal is displayed as shown in FIG. 9, and the competition ends.

Here, games other than the battle game are also prepared.
The competition in FIG. 10 shows a “flying catch”. In this competition, unlike the sprint run of FIG. 9, there is no opponent. Two commands are required to run this competition. A game is played using these two commands. The player uses the commands “jump” and “hashire” to cause Gotta to catch the thrown disc. If caught well, mom's satisfaction will increase. Clear when the satisfaction level exceeds a certain level.

“We are going to the award ceremony”
When the competition is successfully cleared, the competition result and pet name are displayed together with the clear text as shown in FIG. When Gonta becomes 1st, for example, “Short distance 1st class Gonta” and “Clear” are displayed. The display screen 2 also displays the podium and rewards. Reward increases the basic parameter values of pets. Thereafter, the display screen 2 changes to the screen shown in FIG. For example, when Gonta is 1 or the like, the display screen 2 displays that the pet is the dog “Gonta” and displays the reliability and basic parameter values. For example, “Shinrai 31%, Chikara ☆☆☆, Skill ☆” is displayed.

At this time, if a word such as “well done” or “congratulations” is applied from the voice input unit 5, this is displayed in the window of the heart of the pet, thereby increasing the reliability of Gonta and the player. The reason why “Shinrai” increased to 31% and “Chikara” increased to ☆☆☆ is because each value increased as a result of giving rewards and words. Here, with respect to the words that the player puts on the pet, a word of negligence is prepared in advance as a dictionary, and when this word is input, the corresponding word is selected.
If the game is won and the game is cleared in this way, the game can be continued after the award ceremony, so that the user can move to the training screen shown in FIG. 6 and learn a new command and participate in the game.
On the other hand, if the game is lost, the game is over, and it is selected whether or not to continue on the next screen.

In the continuation, the continuation screen is displayed immediately after the game is over, and after inserting coins, the game can be played from the training screen with the same pet.
Alternatively, the data recording card 7 can be issued after the game is over.
As shown in FIG. 13, the data recording card 7 includes an arbitrary word (in this embodiment, “Pac-Man” for the command “Hashire”) associated with the command by the player as shown in FIG. Game records are saved. As a result, the next game can be played with the same pet. By inserting the data recording card 7 into the personal data input unit 6 of the housing 1, from the next time, it is possible to play a game from the training screen and to reuse a command that has been remembered once. become. This increases convenience.

The recorded contents of the data recording card 7 issued after the first game over include “information that does not change” and “information that changes”.
The “information that does not change” is recorded when the card is issued, and includes the name of the player who is the owner, the name of the pet, and the type of pet (type, gender, personality, etc.).
“Change information”, that is, information updated every time after the game is over is the understanding rate, basic parameter value, reliability, usable command and each execution level. In addition, the number of times of continuation and the date and time (year / month / day, time) when the game is over are recorded.
The data recording card 7 also includes the name of the owner, for example, “Jowner Jiro”, the name, type and gender of the pet, for example, “Penta (Penguin)”, the last game date and time “2000/7 / 30 3rd ", the reliability, for example," 25% reliability "is displayed along with the appearance of the pet.
By using the data recording card 7 in this way, a game can be performed over a long period of time. Also, the pet can be remembered every time the data recording card 7 is viewed. The data recording card 7 can be collected by possessing various pets.

Here, a specific continuation can be used when the voice recognition game apparatus is for business use.
For one, pet parameters can be changed by continuing. Specifically, as the number of times of continuation increases, the rate of increase in information such as “reliability”, “chirari”, and “skill” can be increased. This change can be adopted regardless of whether or not the data recording card 7 is used.
Further, when the data recording card 7 is used, it is possible to further change various kinds of information of the pet with time, or rarely change the pet dramatically.
For example, when various types of pet information are changed with time, if the player does not play for a long time (for example, January), for example, reliability and physical strength can be reduced.
In addition, changing a pet dramatically on rare occasions can be, for example, changing a pet's pattern, or, for example, a value after the maximum value.

Next, flowcharts of the voice recognition game apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In step S11, an attract process is performed, and in the next step S12, it is determined whether or not a coin has been inserted. If it is determined in step S12 that no coin has been inserted, the process returns to step S11. If it is determined in step S12 that a coin has been inserted, the process proceeds to step S13, where the title screen is displayed, and the process proceeds to the next step S14.

  In step S14, it is determined whether or not a credit has been established. If it is determined that no credit has been established, the process returns to step S13. If it is determined in step S14 that a credit has been established, the game mode is set in step S15, and it is determined whether or not the player is a new player in step S16. This determination is made by selecting on the screen whether the player is a new player or a player who uses the data recording card 7 to play a game.

  If it is determined in step S16 that the player is a new player, a character is selected in step S17 (see FIG. 4), and a player and character name are input in step S18 (see FIG. 5). This input is performed by voice input as described above. Then, in the next step S19, the characteristic data value is determined, and the process proceeds to step S22 in FIG. The characteristic data values are information set for the pet as described above, that is, the age, sex, personality, basic parameter values (ie, cleverness, appearance, etc.), reliability, and state of the pet.

  If it is determined in step S16 that the player is not a new player, the process proceeds to step S20 to read personal data. This reading is performed by reading the data recording card 7 inserted into the personal data input unit 6 of the housing 1. In step S21, the state of the pet is displayed, and the process proceeds to step S22 in FIG. In step S22, a list of commands is displayed (see FIGS. 14 and 15), and a command is selected in step S23. This is for the purpose of learning the command, and the competition in which the command to be learned can participate is determined. Therefore, when selecting a command in step S23, the corresponding competition is displayed at the same time (step S24). Thereby, the game which can participate in a player can be notified. Next, in step S25, the command is determined by the player pressing the determination button.

In the next step S26, voice input processing is performed. In this process, as described above, the player recognizes the command by voice input (see FIG. 6). As shown in FIG. 6, when the voice input unit 5 has a voice input, the internal processing unit 9 displays the voice recognized by the voice recognition processing unit 8 on the display screen 2, and from the displayed voice. The voice selected by the player is associated with the command (character action) selected by the player in step S25. In step S27, an appropriate value is calculated from the information of the voice recognition rate and pet data (coefficient for each pet set based on the characteristic data) of the voice recognition processing unit 8 determined in step S26.
In step S28, the pet understanding rate is determined from the aptitude value described above.
In step S29, a command training process, that is, an execution level is set. This process trains execution timing, speed, height, etc. using the learned commands (see FIG. 7). When the processing in step S29 is completed, the execution level is displayed in step S30, and it is determined in step S31 whether the training has been successful. In step S30, pet parameters are determined from the understanding rate and the execution level.

As a result of the determination in step S31, if it is determined that the training has failed, the process returns to step S22. As a result of the determination in step S31, if it is determined that the training is successful, the process proceeds to step S32 in FIG. Here, the success / failure of the training can be determined based on, for example, an execution level or a certain threshold value for the execution level and the understanding rate, and using this threshold value as a reference. As a result, participants who have not yet reached the competition are excluded.
In step S32, the competition is selected and determined. This selection is limited to competitions that can be entered by the acquired commands. In step S33, a competition explanation screen is displayed. In step S34, a pet having a parameter close to that of the player's pet is searched from the competitor list. Thus, the searched pet is displayed on the display screen together with the pet of the player (see FIGS. 8 and 9), and the competition is started in step S35.

  In step S36, it is determined whether or not it is cleared. If it is determined that it has not been cleared, the process proceeds to step S38. If it is determined in step S36 that the item has been cleared, reward item processing is performed in step S37. This process is a process of increasing the basic parameter value of the pet as described above. Then, in the next step S38, it is determined whether or not to enter the player list. Here, the player makes a display that can be selected on the display screen, and the player selects it. Here, if the player is included in the player list, when another player is playing the game, the player becomes a search target for the player and if the conditions are met, he / she participates in the game as a competitor. As a result of the determination in step S38, if it is determined to be included in the player list, it is registered in the player list in step S39. As a result of the determination in step S38, if it is determined not to be included in the player list, the process proceeds to step S40. In step S40, the result is recorded in the rival log.

  Next, in step S41 in FIG. 19, a podium screen is displayed and a pet follow screen is displayed (see FIGS. 11 and 12). In step S42, a voice input promotion message is displayed. As described above, the display prompts the user to use words such as praise the pet. Next, the input voice is displayed in step S43. As described above, the display is “well done” or “congratulations”.

Then, the process proceeds to step S44, where it is determined whether or not the time limit has been reached.
If it is determined that the time limit is not reached, the process proceeds to step S42. If it is determined in step S44 that the time limit is reached, the basic parameter value is updated in step S45, and the process proceeds to step S46.
In step S46, it is determined whether or not the game is over. If it is determined that the game is not over, the process proceeds to step S22 in FIG. If it is determined in step S46 that the game is over, an end screen is displayed in step S47, pet personal data is recorded in step S48, and the process ends.

As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, an operation selected by the player from the commands displayed in the command list, and the player arbitrarily inputs a command from the voice input unit 5 with respect to the selected command. In addition, since the pre-processing for associating the speech recognized by the speech recognition processing unit 8 is performed, the “run” or “RUN” commonly associated with the run operation is conventionally associated with the run operation. It is possible to make a pet run using the word “Pac-Man”, which is different from a common command such as “
Therefore, the originality of the game is increased. Furthermore, it becomes possible to adjust the difficulty level of the game on the player side by adjusting the length and complexity of the word selected as the command, thereby expanding the range of the game.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, when voice input is performed, if the voice recognition rate is used as it is for a game, the present invention is not limited to a game in which a game is played.
