  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a game machine which is an example of a driving simulation terminal device according to the present invention. A game machine 100 is a PSP (registered trademark) manufactured by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. or Nintendo. A portable game machine such as Nintendo DS (registered trademark), which has a control unit 1, a communication unit 2, a storage unit 3, a positioning unit 4, an input unit 5, a display unit 6, and an audio output unit 7. Then, a racing game such as Gran Turismo (registered trademark), which is game software manufactured by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., is executed.

  The control unit 1 is a computer including a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like. For example, the vehicle data acquisition unit 10, the driving data acquisition unit 11, and the operation data While storing programs corresponding to each of the acquisition means 12, the traveling course information acquisition means 13, the virtual image generation means 14, and the virtual image display mode control means 15 in the ROM, the CPU is caused to execute processing corresponding to each means.

  The communication unit 2 controls communication between the game machine 100 and a vehicle (hereinafter referred to as “target vehicle”) that is driven by another person who is a competitor of the game user and on which the game user rides. For example, an interface connected to an in-vehicle LAN such as a CAN (Controller Area Network) or a LIN (Local Interconnect Network) of the target vehicle using a dedicated cable. In this case, the target vehicle is provided with an insertion port for receiving the dedicated cable in the center console.

  The communication unit 2 may control wireless communication between the game machine 100 and the target vehicle according to a wireless communication standard such as Bluetooth.

  The storage unit 3 is a device for storing information necessary for executing the racing game. For example, the storage unit 3 is a hard disk device, which is a software program for the racing game, audio data for transmitting the actual condition of the race, and a running course. A course information database 30 (hereinafter referred to as “course information DB 30”) systematically configuring information related to a virtual vehicle (a target vehicle is virtually displayed on a game screen) viewed by a game user. The vehicle information database 31 (hereinafter referred to as “vehicle information DB 31”) that systematically configures the information relating to “Yes.” Is stored.

  The course information DB 30 is, for example, numerical data such as a circuit course curve shape, road gradient, road surface condition, and the like, and background image data (actual image or CG image at each point of the circuit course). It is a database that systematically configures etc.

  The vehicle information DB 31 systematically configures numerical data indicating the performance of various vehicles such as horsepower, weight, and air resistance, and image data such as front, back, side, and top surfaces of various vehicles. It is a database.

  The positioning unit 4 is a device for measuring the positions of the target vehicle and the game machine 100. For example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver receives a GPS signal output from a GPS satellite via a GPS antenna and receives the GPS signal. The current position (latitude, longitude, altitude) is measured based on the signal.

  The positioning unit 4 may be a portable navigation system connected to the game machine 100, such as MAPLUS (registered trademark) manufactured by Edia Co., Ltd. A road-to-vehicle communication device (for example, a device for receiving information transmitted by a magnetic nail or the like installed at a predetermined interval beside the course of a circuit) may be used. In addition, when using the information which the apparatus mounted in an object vehicle outputs, the information may be transmitted to the game machine 100 via the communication part 2. FIG.

  The input unit 5 is a device for receiving an input from the game user, and is, for example, a cross key or a push button mounted on the game machine 100.

  Further, the input unit 5 may be, for example, a steering controller, an accelerator controller, a brake controller, a shift controller, or the like having a force feedback function mounted on the passenger seat. These controllers are preferably connected to the game machine 100 via a dedicated cable. This is to prevent the amount of information exchanged via the communication unit 2 from being excessively increased.

  The display unit 6 is a device for displaying the content of the game, and is, for example, a liquid crystal display mounted on the game machine 100, and displays a rear image of the virtual vehicle traveling on the traveling course together with a background image of the traveling course. indicate.

  The display unit 6 may be an in-vehicle display or an in-vehicle HUD (Head Up Display). In that case, the image data generated by the game machine 100 is transmitted to the in-vehicle display or the in-vehicle HUD via a dedicated cable. Also good.

  The sound output unit 7 is a device for outputting the content of the game as a sound. For example, the sound output unit 7 is a built-in speaker built in the game machine 100 and outputs sound that conveys the actual situation of the racing game that is progressing.

  Moreover, the audio | voice output part 7 may be a vehicle-mounted speaker, In that case, the audio | voice data which the game machine 100 produced | generated are transmitted to a vehicle-mounted speaker via a dedicated cable.

  Next, various units included in the control unit 1 will be described.

  The vehicle data acquisition unit 10 is a unit for acquiring data related to a target vehicle that is driven by another person who is a competitor of the game user. For example, the vehicle type and weight of the target vehicle are fixed via the communication unit 2. Values and fluctuation values such as vehicle speed, acceleration, yaw rate, roll rate, pitch rate, wheel speed, lateral acceleration, tilt angle, engine speed, wheel turning angle are acquired.

  The driving data acquisition unit 11 is a unit for acquiring driving data of a target vehicle driven by another person who is a race partner of the game user. For example, the accelerator pedal depression amount of the target vehicle via the communication unit 2, Operation data such as brake pedal depression amount, steering angle, and shift position are acquired.

  The acquisition of the vehicle data is for making it possible to reproduce the behavior of the virtual vehicle on the display unit 6 in as much detail as possible. The game machine 100 uses the virtual vehicle based on the vehicle data acquired by the vehicle data acquisition means 10. The display section 6 can be drawn in detail on the inclination of the tire, the degree of tire slip, the degree of exhaust gas discharge, and the like.

  In addition, the game machine 100 determines the performance of the target vehicle (for example, acceleration performance, accelerator response, steering response, and brake) based on the vehicle data acquired by the vehicle data acquisition unit 10 and the driving data acquired by the driving data acquisition unit 11. The performance of the virtual vehicle corresponding to the target vehicle is equivalent to the performance of the virtual operation vehicle operated by the game user on the screen (for example, depending on the competitor) This means that the acceleration of the virtual vehicle with respect to the actual depression amount of the accelerator pedal is associated with the acceleration of the virtual operation vehicle with respect to the push amount of the push button corresponding to the accelerator operation by the game user. Allow other competitors to compete under equal conditions.

  The operation data acquisition means 12 is means for acquiring operation data of the virtual operation vehicle operated by the game user. For example, the accelerator pedal depression amount, the brake pedal depression amount of the virtual operation vehicle via the input unit 5, Operation data such as steering angle and shift position (for example, the operation amount of the push button and the cross key corresponding to each operation of depression of the accelerator pedal, depression of the brake pedal, rotation of the steering wheel, and change of the shift position) To get.

  The traveling course information acquisition unit 13 is a unit for acquiring information regarding the course on which the target vehicle is going to travel. For example, the traveling course information acquisition unit 13 selects the target from the information in the course information DB 30 based on the position information detected by the positioning unit 4. A circuit course where the vehicle is located is specified, and detailed information on the circuit course (for example, a background image corresponding to a travel point) can be acquired.

  The virtual image generation unit 14 is a unit for generating a virtual image. For example, the virtual image generation unit 14 includes a virtual vehicle corresponding to the target vehicle from information in the vehicle information DB 31 based on the vehicle data acquired by the vehicle data acquisition unit 10. Data relating to the appearance is acquired, and a virtual vehicle image for reflecting the behavior of the target vehicle during the game is generated.

  Moreover, the virtual image generation means 14 acquires the background image corresponding to the position on the circuit course where the target vehicle exists from the information in the course information DB 30 by the traveling course information acquisition means 13 and displays the background image. Adopted as a background image to be displayed on the unit 6. Note that the virtual image generation unit 14 may adopt an image captured by an in-vehicle camera mounted on the target vehicle as a background image.

  Thereafter, the virtual image generation unit 14 superimposes the virtual vehicle image on the background image, and generates a virtual image as if the game user is looking at the target vehicle from immediately behind. This is to express a situation in which the virtual operation vehicle operated by the game user follows the virtual vehicle corresponding to the target vehicle and follows the virtual vehicle. In this case, the game user operates the virtual operation vehicle while looking at the target vehicle (virtual vehicle) driven by the other person from the viewpoint of the virtual driver boarding the virtual operation vehicle. The rear image of the target vehicle (virtual vehicle) driven by the other person may be a semi-transparent image or an image depicting only the outline so that the game user can visually recognize the course shape ahead.

  Alternatively, the virtual image generation means 14 superimposes an image of the virtual operation vehicle operated by the game user on the background image, and a virtual person such that the other party who is a racer is looking at the virtual operation vehicle from directly behind it. A typical image may be generated.

  This is to express a state in which the virtual operation vehicle operated by the game user is traveling ahead of the virtual vehicle corresponding to the target vehicle. In this case, the game user operates the virtual operation vehicle while looking at the virtual operation vehicle operated by himself / herself from the viewpoint of another person who is a race partner. Note that the rear image of the virtual operation vehicle may be a translucent image or an image depicting only a contour so that the game user can visually recognize the course shape ahead of the game user.

  The virtual image display mode control unit 15 is a unit for controlling the display mode of the virtual image according to the input of the game user. For example, the vehicle data acquired by the vehicle data acquisition unit 10 and the traveling course information acquisition unit 13 Based on the acquired course information, the virtual image generated by the virtual image generation unit 14 is redrawn as if viewed from another viewpoint.

  For example, the virtual image display mode control unit 15 compares the driving data of the other person who is the race opponent acquired by the driving data acquisition unit 11 with the operation data of the game user acquired by the operation data acquisition unit 12. The appearance of the virtual image is finely adjusted based on the difference in the accelerator pedal depression amount, the brake pedal depression amount, the steering steering angle difference, or the shift position difference.

  For example, when the virtual image display mode control unit 15 determines that the virtual operation vehicle operated by the game user is delayed from the preceding target vehicle (virtual vehicle), the size of the virtual vehicle image is reduced and the target vehicle moves away. Express that.

  When the virtual image display mode control means 15 determines that the virtual operation vehicle operated by the game user has moved slightly to the left from the position immediately behind the preceding target vehicle (virtual vehicle), the virtual image display mode display unit 15 displays the virtual vehicle image. The position is slightly moved to the right side to express the difference in course taking between the target vehicle and the virtual operation vehicle.

  Note that such fine adjustment of the appearance of the virtual vehicle image is the same when expressing a situation in which the virtual operation vehicle operated by the game user is advanced.

  In this way, the game machine 100 displays a virtual rear image of the target vehicle according to the actual behavior of the target vehicle on the liquid crystal display of the game machine 100 or in front of the game user by HUD. While projecting on the window shield of a certain target vehicle, the game user can visually recognize the situation as if the virtual operation vehicle operated by the game user is running following the target vehicle.

  In addition, the game machine 100 continuously displays a rear image of the virtual operation vehicle according to the actual behavior of the target vehicle on the liquid crystal display of the game machine 100 or a window shield in front of the game user by HUD. It is possible to make the game user visually recognize the situation as if the virtual operation vehicle operated by the game user is traveling ahead of the target vehicle.

  With the above configuration, the game user feels as if the G force generated by acceleration, deceleration, or passing of a curve of the target vehicle driven by the other party as the competitor is due to his / her own driving. You can enjoy a virtual race with its competitors.

  In addition, since the virtual operation vehicle operated by the game user and the virtual vehicle corresponding to the target vehicle driven by the competitor who is driving the competitor are expressed in a state of being antagonized, the game user is represented. Can experience G force generated by acceleration, deceleration, or curve passing of the target vehicle without a sense of incongruity.

  On the other hand, other competitors can also confirm the superiority or inferiority to the game user by the voice that conveys the actual situation of the race output by the audio output unit 7 while actually driving the target vehicle. You can enjoy a great race.

  Next, a pre-game start preparation process when the game machine 100 starts a racing game will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the flow of the pre-game start preparation process, in which a game user who carries the game machine 100 is another competitor (for example, a professional driver who instructs circuit driving). It is assumed that the game machine 100 and the target vehicle are connected to each other by boarding the target vehicle to be driven.

  First, the control unit 1 of the game machine 100 determines whether or not it is connected to the target vehicle based on the presence / absence of information transmitted from the target vehicle via the communication unit 2 (step S1).

  When the connection is confirmed (YES in step S1), the control unit 1 activates the racing game stored in the storage unit 3 (step S2), and displays the selection screen for the traveling course.

  When the connection cannot be confirmed (NO in step S1), the control unit 1 ends the process once without starting the racing game. This is because the game machine 100 cannot collect vehicle data and driving data unless the connection is established.

  When the traveling course selection screen is displayed, the control unit 1 acquires current position data based on the output of the positioning unit 4, and the traveling course information acquisition unit 13 stores a plurality of data stored in the course information DB 30 of the storage unit 3. The information regarding the circuit course corresponding to the current position data is selected from the information regarding the circuit course, and the name of the selected circuit is displayed on the screen to request the game user's confirmation input.

  Upon receiving the confirmation input from the game user via the input unit 5, the game machine 100 determines to perform a virtual race on the circuit course (step S3), and stores information on the circuit course from the course information DB 30 in the RAM. To get to.

  In addition, the control unit 1 acquires data on the vehicle type, body color, equipment, and the like from the target vehicle by the vehicle data acquisition unit 10 (step S4), specifies the appearance of the target vehicle, and then generates the virtual image generation unit 14. Thus, a virtual vehicle image corresponding to the target vehicle is generated (step S5).

  In this way, the control unit 1 prepares basic data necessary for executing the racing game, and can start the racing game.

  Next, the game progress update process performed by the game machine 100 during the progress of the racing game will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of the game progress update process, and the game machine 100 repeatedly executes this process at a predetermined cycle.

  First, the control unit 1 uses the vehicle data acquisition means 10 to determine the vehicle speed, acceleration, yaw rate, roll rate, pitch rate, wheel speed, lateral acceleration, tilt angle, engine speed, wheel turning angle, etc. of the target vehicle. Data is acquired (step S10).

  After that, the control unit 1 acquires course information corresponding to the current position from the course information stored in the course information DB 30 based on the current position data acquired by the positioning unit 4 by the traveling course information acquisition unit 13 (Step S1). S11).

  Thereafter, the control unit 1 causes the virtual image generation unit 14 to generate a virtual vehicle image based on the vehicle data, generate a background image based on the course information, and superimpose the virtual vehicle image on the background image. Then, a virtual image is generated as if the game user himself / herself is viewing the target vehicle actually boarded from behind (step S12). At this time, the virtual vehicle image is not yet displayed on the display unit 6. This is because an accurate viewpoint (hereinafter referred to as “user viewpoint”) in the virtual space of the game user has not yet been determined.

  Thereafter, the control unit 1 acquires driving data such as the accelerator pedal depression amount, the brake pedal depression amount, the steering steering angle, and the shift position of the race partner driving the target vehicle by the driving data acquisition unit 11 (step S13). In addition, the operation data acquisition means 12 acquires operation amounts corresponding to the accelerator pedal depression amount, brake pedal depression amount, steering steering angle, shift position, and the like by the game user (step S14).

  Thereafter, the control unit 1 uses the virtual image display mode control means 15 to perform a virtual operation based on the target vehicle displayed as a virtual vehicle image based on the difference in various operation amounts between the competitor and the game user. The relative position of the vehicle is determined, and the user viewpoint is determined. The user viewpoint is initially set as a viewpoint position of a virtual driver (game user) who rides on the virtual operation vehicle that runs immediately behind the virtual vehicle image, and is cumulatively and continuously according to the difference in the subsequent operation amount. Change.

  Thereafter, the virtual image display mode control unit 15 draws the virtual image on the game screen so that the virtual image generated by the virtual image generation unit 14 is viewed from the user viewpoint determined as described above ( Step S15).

  Thereafter, the control unit 1 relates to the actual situation of the race (for example, ranking, inter-vehicle distance, course taking, etc.) based on the positional relationship between the virtual vehicle (target vehicle) and the virtual operation vehicle at the current time and the movement of the virtual operation vehicle. The voice output unit 7 is made to output voice data that conveys the message (step S16).

  With the above configuration, the game machine 100 enables a game user who rides on a target vehicle driven by another person who is a competitor in the racing game to experience the G force without any time lag. It is possible to provide a game user with a realistic game.

  In addition, since the game machine 100 communicates the position and movement of the virtual operation vehicle operated by the game user to the competitor via the audio output unit 7, the competitor who actually drives the target vehicle can also enjoy the realism of the race. Can do.

  Moreover, since the game machine 100 is connected to the target vehicle in the cabin of the target vehicle, the game machine 100 exchanges more data than connecting the game machine outside the target vehicle and the target vehicle via wireless communication. The virtual vehicle corresponding to the target vehicle in the racing game can be described in more detail.

  Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and substitutions can be made to the above-described embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Can be added.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the game machine 100 displays a virtual image of one of the virtual vehicle and the virtual operation vehicle viewed from behind, but displays a virtual image of both vehicles viewed from above. May be.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the terminal device for driving simulation is the game machine 100 will be described. However, the terminal device for driving simulation may be various terminal devices such as a mobile phone, a PDA, or a mobile personal computer. The racing game in the above-described embodiment may be a software program for driving education.

It is a block diagram which shows the structural example of the game machine which concerns on this invention. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of the pre-game start preparation process. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of preparation processing at the time of game progress.
