Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent transmission of specific behavior which may be differently considered depending on players.SOLUTION: In a portable game device 1400B, setting or unsetting of an unpleasant behavior filter can be set. When the unpleasant behavior filter is "set", operation input information corresponding to unpleasant behavior included in the operation input information received from an opponent's game device 1400A is canceled or changed to operation input information on the motion which does not correspond to the unpleasant behavior, and another character 2 is controlled based on the operation input information after the change. While a player's own character 4 is down, setting of a virtual camera is changed so that neither the other character 2 nor the own character 4 is captured in a game screen, or a prescribed moving image is displayed in place of the image captured by the virtual camera.

Description

  The present invention controls a computer to control a player character according to an operation input of the player, and to execute a predetermined game by controlling the player character based on operation input information of the player from another computer. About.

  One of the popular genres in video games is a battle game. For example, two players each use a fighter character to enjoy a street fight that is absolutely impossible in reality and enjoy an imaginary battle, or in a battle space (game space) formed in a virtual three-dimensional space It is known that each player enjoys a survival game by operating a soldier character.

  And what is known as a game specification that incorporates the so-called “provocation”, which makes the opponent psychologically shaken by making actions and statements that make the opponent fun and frustrating as an element that excites the battle ( For example, see Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2.)

JP 2000-288245 A JP 2000-233073 A

  Such “provocation” in a competitive game is expressed favorably by some players as an expression of a psychological attack that would be exchanged with an actual street fight, and as an enhancement of the game. Yes. Especially in the battles between well-known friends, “provocation” has a higher meaning as a conversation between friends and a cool playful act than its original meaning, which greatly contributes to the excitement of the game.

  However, on the other hand, it is also true that there are players who do not feel comfortable with a specific action in the game, such as a provocative action in a game, whether it is a game or not. They are not limited to the “provocation” action prepared in advance as a game specification, but a combination of actions created by users (for example, unnatural as a standard action during a battle) High-speed bending and stretching movements, high-speed turning and laps in one place, etc.) are also considered provocative behavior and feel uncomfortable. In addition, it is also uncomfortable to perform a follow-up attack on a character that has become unable to act due to the conclusion of the battle, or a useless circulatory action such as turning around the character.

  Worryingly, as a result of a player who unfairly captures a specific act such as “provocation” and a player who thinks that he / she feels uncomfortable, the latter player unwillingly feels uncomfortable. Is to keep away from the fun of the fighting game.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the purpose of the present invention is to identify a specific act that may be captured differently depending on the player, even if a player who favorably captures the specific act. It is to prevent the specific action from being transmitted to a player who does not capture the action favorably. For example, a provocative action that can excite a game can be executed in the game, but a player who feels uncomfortable with such a provocative action can enjoy the game without being offended.

In a first mode for solving the above-described problems, a computer (for example, the portable game apparatus 1400B in FIG. 3) controls the player character according to the operation input of the player, and another computer (for example, FIG. 3). A program for controlling another character based on operation input information of another player received from the portable game device 1400A) to execute a predetermined game,
Operation input determination means for determining whether or not the received operation input information satisfies a given operation condition (for example, the processing unit 200, the game calculation unit 210, the unpleasant action operation input determination unit 216 in FIG. Part 500, unpleasant behavior dictionary data 530, steps S62 to S64 in FIG.
When the operation input determining unit determines that the operation input information is appropriate, the operation input information changing unit (for example, the processing unit 200 in FIG. Game computing unit 210, operation input information changing unit 218, step S68 in FIG. 14),
If the operation input determining means does not determine that it is appropriate, the other character is controlled according to the received operation input information. If it is determined to be applicable, the non-applicable changed by the operation input information changing means. This is a program for causing the computer to function as other character control means for controlling the other character in accordance with operation input information (for example, the processing unit 200 in FIG. 7, the game calculation unit 210, and step S80 in FIG. 12).

Another embodiment is a game device that controls the player character in accordance with the operation input of the player player and controls the other character based on the operation input information of the other player received from the other game device to execute a predetermined game. And
Operation input determination means for determining whether or not the received operation input information corresponds to a given operation condition;
Operation input information changing means for changing the operation input information to predetermined non-applicable operation input information that does not correspond to the operation condition when the operation input determination means determines that it is appropriate;
If the operation input determining means does not determine that it is appropriate, the other character is controlled according to the received operation input information. If it is determined to be applicable, the non-applicable changed by the operation input information changing means. It can be realized as a game device (for example, a portable game device 1400B in FIG. 1) provided with other character control means for controlling the other character in accordance with operation input information.

According to the first aspect, when the operation input information received from the other game device used by the other player includes the operation input information that causes the other character to perform a specific action that can be captured differently by the player, The operation input information can be changed to non-corresponding operation input information that causes another operation (including general pose and stasis as well as general attack and defense operations). Then, other characters can be controlled in accordance with the changed operation input information.
Therefore, even if a specific action that may be caught differently by another player is executed and controlled by another character on the other game device, the action by the other character is not realized on the own game device. Therefore, even if a player who catches a certain action positively and a player who feels uncomfortable play, the latter can enjoy the battle game without feeling uncomfortable.

  In the second mode, the operation input information changing unit sets the operation input information determined by the operation input determination unit to be equivalent to the size of the hit determination area when the other character moves according to the operation input information. It is the program of the 1st form for making the said computer function so that it may change into the non-corresponding operation input information for performing operation control which satisfies (for example, provocation substitution operation of Drawing 3).

  According to the second mode, the same effect as in the first mode is achieved, and even if the other game device performs a specific action that other characters may catch differently depending on the player, the other character of the own game device is identified. It can be controlled to perform a non-corresponding action that is difficult to understand as an action. This non-corresponding motion is a motion having a hit determination region when the other character performs a motion corresponding to the specific action, and a hit determination region having substantially the same conditions such as size and size. Therefore, even if the player character attacks another character during a specific action, the game can be continued while preventing a shift in the game progress between the game world of the player game device and the game world of the other game device. Can do.

In the third mode, the computer controls the player character according to the operation input of the player, and controls the other character based on the operation input information of the player received from the other computer to execute a predetermined game. A program,
An operation input determination means for determining whether or not the received operation input information satisfies a given operation condition;
Of the received operation input information, the operation input information determined by the operation input determination means is invalidated, and other character control means (for example, FIG. 5) controls the other character according to the operation input information not determined to be applicable. 7 is a program for causing the computer to function as a processing unit 200, a game calculation unit 210, an operation input information change unit 218, and step S70 in FIG.

Alternatively, as another embodiment, the game device controls the player character according to the operation input of the player player, and controls the other character based on the operation input information of the other player received from the other game device to execute a predetermined game. And
Operation input determination means for determining whether or not the received operation input information corresponds to a given operation condition;
A game comprising invalid operation input information determined by the operation input determination means in the received operation input information, and other character control means for controlling the other character according to the operation input information not determined to be applicable It can be realized as a device (for example, the portable game device 1400B in FIG. 1).

According to the third aspect, when the operation input information received from the other game device used by the other player includes the operation input information for causing the other character to perform a specific action that can be captured differently by the player, It can be assumed that the operation input is invalid and there is no operation input.
Therefore, even if a specific action by another character is executed in the other game device, the specific action of the other character is not realized in the own game device. Therefore, for example, even if a player who positively captures the provocation action and a player who feels uncomfortable, the latter player can enjoy the battle game without feeling uncomfortable.

  According to a fourth mode, the operation input determination unit makes the computer function so that the determination is performed using an unpleasant action operation condition predetermined as an operation input of an unpleasant action as the operation condition. The program according to any one of the three.

  According to the 4th form, while exhibiting the same effect as the program in any one of the 1st-3rd form, the act which can be regarded as the unpleasant act by another character is not implement | achieved in the own game device.

  A fifth form is a battle game in which the predetermined game is in a down state and wins or loses when the damage hit by the opponent's character reaches a predetermined amount, and the operation input determining means Any one of the first to fourth modes for causing the computer to function so as to determine whether or not the received operation input information satisfies the operation condition when the player character is in the down state. It is a program.

  According to the fifth form, the same effect as any of the first to fourth forms is achieved, and, for example, while the state that the player character is settled and the action of the own character is disabled is displayed, It is possible to prevent a specific action that may differ depending on the player from being realized. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the realization of an action such as an attack (for example, an action called “corporal kick”) directed at a partner who is determined to be defeated and disabled.

The sixth form is an unpleasant action execution setting means (for example, the operation input unit 100, the processing unit 200, the game calculation unit 210, the unpleasant action execution of FIG. 7) for setting permission / denial of execution of the unpleasant action by the other character. As the setting unit 212, the play data 550 in FIG. 10, the unpleasant behavior filter setting 552, and the step S12) in FIG.
When the other character control means is permitted to execute the unpleasant behavior, the operation input information determined by the operation input determination means is also controlled according to the operation input information. A program according to any one of first to fifth modes for causing the computer to function.

  According to the sixth embodiment, the same effect as any of the first to fifth embodiments is obtained, and whether or not to execute the unpleasant act is manually or automatically selected. Can also be realized on the game device itself.

In the seventh embodiment, a game based on a given virtual camera is performed by controlling the player's own character in accordance with the operation input of the player's own player and controlling the other character based on the operation input information of the other player received from the other computer. A program for generating an image of a space and executing a battle game in which the player enters a down state and decides whether to win or lose when the damage received by the opponent character reaches a predetermined amount,
Unpleasant behavior execution setting means for setting permission / denial of execution of unpleasant behavior by the other character;
When the player character is in the down state, the image generation process during execution of the battle game is continuously executed when the disagreement execution setting means is set to allow, and when the character is set to disallow Includes a down-time image generation means (for example, FIG. 5) that switches to a predetermined avoidance image generation process for avoiding unpleasant acts that does not include in the image the state of the other character whose operation is controlled according to the operation input information of the other player. 7 is a program for causing the computer to function as a processing unit 200, a game calculation unit 210, a virtual camera setting change unit 220, an effect moving image reproduction control unit 224, an image generation unit 260, and steps S96 and S100 in FIG. .

Alternatively, as another form, the player character is controlled according to the operation input of the player player, and the other character is controlled based on the operation input information of the other player received from the other game device, and the game space based on the given virtual camera is controlled. A game device that generates an image and executes a battle game in which the player enters a down state and determines a victory or defeat when the damage received by the opponent character reaches a predetermined amount,
Unpleasant behavior execution setting means for setting permission / denial of execution of unpleasant behavior by the other character;
When the player character is in the down state, the image generation process during execution of the battle game is continuously executed when the disagreement execution setting means is set to allow, and when the character is set to disallow Includes a down-time image generation means that performs switching to a predetermined avoidance image generation process for avoiding unpleasant behavior that does not include in the image the state of the other character whose operation is controlled according to the operation input information of the other player. It can be realized as a game device (for example, the portable game device 1400B in FIG. 1).

According to the seventh aspect, when the own character is in a down state and the execution of an uncomfortable action by another character is not permitted, the state of the other character is included in the image as an image displayed at the time of the down. An image for avoiding unpleasant behavior can be generated and displayed.
Therefore, no matter how unpleasant the other character performs, the situation is not displayed on the game screen of the own game device, so even a player who feels uncomfortable with a provocation action or the like does not feel uncomfortable. Can enjoy.

  In an eighth aspect, the down-time image generation means executes the avoidance image generation process by controlling the position and / or line-of-sight direction of the virtual camera so that the own character is out of the shooting range. It is a program of the 7th form for functioning a computer.

  According to the eighth aspect, the same effect as in the seventh aspect can be obtained, and the shooting setting can be changed simply and quickly so that the virtual character shooting the game space is shot outside the shooting range. It is possible to generate an image for avoiding unpleasant acts.

  In a ninth mode, the down-time image generating means places dummy self-replicating characters in which the self-character is duplicated in a dummy game space (for example, the processing unit 200, the game calculating unit 210, FIG. A dummy arrangement unit 222, step S96 in FIG. 15, and a second function for causing the computer to function so as to execute the avoidance image generation process by controlling the virtual camera so that a subject is the copied self-character. 7 is a form of program.

  According to the ninth embodiment, the same effect as the seventh embodiment is produced, and the dummy of the player character is placed in a separate space separated from the game space where the game was played, and this is taken by the virtual camera. An image for avoiding unpleasant behavior can be generated. If this method is used, the player character displayed on the game screen will be affected no matter what action the other character is performing on or around the player character in the game space where the game was played. There is no need to show unpleasant behavior to the player of the player character.

  In a tenth aspect, the down image generation means causes the computer to function so as to execute the avoidance image generation processing (for example, step S100 in FIG. 15) by reproducing a predetermined moving image. 7 is a form of program.

  According to the 10th form, while exhibiting the effect similar to a 7th form, it can replace with a game space and can display a moving image. Therefore, whatever action the other character performs, it is not displayed as the game screen of the player's own game machine, and it is not necessary to show the player an unpleasant action without fail.

  In an eleventh aspect, the unpleasant behavior execution setting means causes the computer to function so as to set permission / denial of execution of the unpleasant behavior by the other character based on the result information of the player. It is a program in any one of the sixth to tenth forms.

According to the 11th form, while exhibiting the same effect as any of the 6th-10th form, the setting of execution of an unpleasant act can be determined from the result of the own player.
For example, if the score is above a certain level, it is regarded as an advanced player who can play without being affected by the actions of other characters, and if it is below the standard, it is set as “permitted”. It may be set as “permitted”. In this case, it is possible to prevent a beginner from moving away from the game with unnecessary discomfort.

  In a twelfth aspect, the computer is configured so that the unpleasant behavior execution setting means sets permission / denial of execution of unpleasant behavior by the other character based on a play history between the player and the other player. This is a program in any one of sixth to eleventh forms for functioning.

  According to the twelfth aspect, the same effects as in any of the sixth to eleventh aspects can be obtained, and the setting for the execution of unpleasant behavior can be determined based on the play history between the player and the other player. For example, if the total number of battles of both players exceeds a certain standard, it is assumed that there is a track record of allowing each other's play style, and “permitted” is set. May not be understood, so it may be set as “non-permitted”.

  In the thirteenth mode, the computer functions as friendly player setting means for setting the other player as a friendly player in accordance with the operation of the player, and the unpleasant behavior execution setting means sets the other player as the friendly player. The program according to any one of the sixth to twelfth modes for causing the computer to function so as to set permission / denial of execution of an uncomfortable action by the other character based on whether or not the character is present.

  According to the thirteenth mode, the same effect as any of the sixth to twelfth modes can be obtained, other players recognized as friendly by the player can be registered, and whether or not the opponent is set as a friendly player. The setting for the execution of unpleasant behavior can be determined according to the situation. For example, it may be “permitted” for a friendly player.

  The fourteenth aspect is a computer-readable information storage medium storing the program according to any one of the first to thirteenth aspects. The “information storage medium” mentioned here includes, for example, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, an IC memory, and the like. They are not limited to the state of the information storage medium alone, but also include those that exist as internal storage of other electronic devices and function as internal storage of the computer when connected to the computer. According to the fourteenth aspect, by causing the computer to read and execute the program according to any one of the first to thirteenth forms, the computer has the same effect as any one of the first to thirteenth forms. It can be demonstrated.

In the eighteenth mode, an operation input information acquisition unit (for example, an operation input information acquisition unit) that acquires operation input information from each of a plurality of game apparatuses (for example, the arcade game apparatuses 1300 (1) to 1300 (n) in FIG. Communication device 1312 in FIG. 16, communication unit 370 in FIG. 17, processing unit 200s, communication control unit 270, step S214 in FIG.
Of the acquired operation input information, operation input detection means for detecting operation input information corresponding to a given operation condition (for example, the control unit 1310 of FIG. 16, the processing unit 200s of FIG. 17, the game server calculation unit 211, Unpleasant behavior operation input determination unit 216, unpleasant behavior dictionary data 530, step S218 in FIG. 21;
Operation input information changing means for changing the operation input information detected by the operation input detection means to predetermined non-applicable operation input information not corresponding to the operation condition (for example, the control unit 1310 in FIG. 16 and the processing unit in FIG. 17). 200s, game server calculation unit 211, unpleasant behavior operation input determination unit 216, unpleasant behavior dictionary data 530, step S218 in FIG. 21),
An operation input that distributes the acquired operation input information to each of the plurality of game devices and transmits the operation input information changed by the operation input information change unit for the operation input information detected by the operation input detection unit It is a game server device comprising information distribution means (for example, the communication device 1312 in FIG. 16, the communication unit 370 in FIG. 17, the processing unit 200s, the communication control unit 270, and step S222 in FIG. 21).

Further, the nineteenth form is an operation input information acquisition means for acquiring operation input information from each of a plurality of game devices connected in communication,
Among the acquired operation input information, an operation input detection means for detecting operation input information corresponding to a given operation condition;
Among the acquired operation input information, the operation input information detected by the operation input detection unit is invalidated, and the operation input information distribution unit that distributes the operation input information not detected to each of the plurality of game devices (for example, The game server device includes a processing unit 200s, a game server calculation unit 211, an unpleasant action operation input determination unit 216, an unpleasant action dictionary data 530, and steps S218 and S222 in FIG.

According to the eighteenth and nineteenth aspects, the game server device acquires operation input information from a plurality of game devices that are communicatively connected to participate in the battle game, and the acquired operation input information corresponds to the operation condition. It is possible to detect operation input information, change to non-corresponding operation input information or change to no operation input, and distribute the changed operation input information.
In other words, since the operation input information received from the game server device does not include operation input information for realizing a specific action that can be grasped differently depending on the player, the specific action is not realized on the game device side. Even a player who feels uncomfortable can play a battle game without feeling uncomfortable.

[First Embodiment]
Next, as a first embodiment to which the present invention is applied, an example will be described in which two portable game devices are connected by communication to execute a one-on-one fighting game.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a configuration example of a portable game device and a system for playing a battle game in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, two portable game devices 1400A and 1400B are used. Hereinafter, if any device is not specified, it is simply referred to as a portable game device 1400.

The portable game apparatus 1400 is a foldable type in which a direction input key 1402 and a button switch 1404, a first liquid crystal display 1406, a second liquid crystal display 1408, a speaker 1410, and a control unit 1450 can be opened and closed with a hinge 1414. The apparatus main body 1401 is provided.
On the display surfaces of the first liquid crystal display 1406 and the second liquid crystal display 1408, touch panels 1407 and 1409 that can touch and input arbitrary positions on the display screen by touching with a stylus pen 1416 or the like are mounted, respectively. .

  Further, the apparatus main body 1401 is provided with a memory card reader 1418 that can read and write data from a memory card 1440 that is a computer-readable information storage medium. The memory card 1440 stores programs and various setting data necessary for the control unit 1450 of the portable game apparatus 1400 to execute various arithmetic processes related to game play. In addition, the apparatus main body 1401 is provided with a built-in battery, a power button, a volume control button, and the like which are not shown.

  The touch panels 1407 and 1409 cover almost the entire areas of the display screens of the first liquid crystal display 1406 and the second liquid crystal display 1408 without shielding the display screen, respectively, and a touch operation that the player touches with the stylus pen 1416 (or a finger or the like). When this is done, contact position coordinates in an orthogonal coordinate system with the upper left as the origin can be output to the control unit 1450.

The control unit 1450 corresponds to a control board of the game apparatus, and includes various microprocessors such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), a VRAM, and the like. Various IC memories such as RAM and ROM are installed.
The control unit 1450 also receives signals from the wireless communication module 1412, the driver circuits of the first liquid crystal display 1406 and the second liquid crystal display 1408, the driver circuits of the touch panel 1407 and the touch panel 1409, the direction input key 1402 and the button switch 1404. A so-called I / F circuit (interface circuit) such as an amplifier circuit for outputting an audio signal to the speaker 1410 and a signal input / output circuit to the memory card reader 1418 is mounted. Each element mounted on the control unit 1450 is electrically connected via a bus circuit so that data can be read and written and signals can be transmitted and received.

  The control unit 1450 reads out the program and data stored in the memory card 1440 by the memory card reader 1418 and temporarily stores them in the IC memory to be mounted. Then, the read program is executed to execute arithmetic processing, and a game is executed by controlling each part of the portable game apparatus 1400 in accordance with operation inputs from the direction input key 1402, the button switch 1404, and the touch panels 1407 and 1409. .

  In this embodiment, the portable game device 1400 is configured to read out necessary programs and various setting data from the memory card 1440. However, main programs and data installed in the control unit 1450 are stored in advance in the IC memory. It can be set as the structure which is carrying out. Alternatively, the wireless communication module 1412 may be connected to a wired / wireless communication line 1 such as the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), or a WAN (Wide Area Network), and may be downloaded from an external device and acquired. .

  The two portable game apparatuses 1400A and 1400B execute a game program to establish data communication with each other via the communication line 1, and always exchange operation input information with each other during game execution, so-called communication. Realize a battle game. The communication line 1 here means a direct communication such as a wireless LAN or Bluetooth (registered trademark) in addition to a public communication network such as the Internet network or a mobile phone network. Of course, not only wireless communication but also wired communication may be used.

FIG. 2 is an example of a game screen for explaining the outline of the battle game in the present embodiment.
The game of the present embodiment is a one-match match fighting game in which the other character 2 and the player character 4 face each other one to one. The other character 2 is a character whose motion is controlled in response to an operation input on a portable game device 1400A (hereinafter referred to as another game device 1400A or another machine) used by another player. The player character 4 is a character whose motion is controlled in response to an operation input on a portable game device 1400B (hereinafter referred to as player game device 1400B or player) used by the player.
Although the present embodiment will be described as a configuration in which the game is ended by winning or losing one battle, it is needless to say that a plurality of set match formats may be used.

  The game is a “battle” (see game screen W2 in FIG. 2 (1)) that is the main part of the game play, “win / loss determination” (see game screen W4 in FIG. 2 (2)) based on the result of the battle, “Down effect” (see game screen W6 in FIG. 2 (3)) and “declaration of victory / defeat” (see game screen W8 in FIG. 2 (4)) indicating that the losing character has become unable to act. Progress in order.

  The game screens W2 to W8 generate a game space image by shooting a state of the object of the other character 2 or the own character 4 whose motion is controlled in the game space formed in the virtual three-dimensional space with a virtual camera. It is generated by synthesizing information displays such as the remaining time display 6 indicating the remaining time that can be played against the spatial image, the life point gauge 8 of another character, and the life point gauge 10 of the own character.

  During a battle, if an attack hits the opponent, you can cut the opponent's life point. When the life point becomes “0”, it is considered that the action cannot be performed. In other words, you lose. Then, it is automatically controlled to perform a predetermined down action (for example, an action of turning the eyes and falling down) on the character that has become unable to act. This is the down production that tells you that the match has been settled.

  In the win / loss declaration following the down effect, the winning character is automatically controlled to perform a predetermined win / pause motion, and notifies whether the players of the other game device 1400A and the own game device 1400B have won or lost. The winning / losing notice display 12 is displayed.

  As used herein, “a specific action that can be captured differently depending on the player” includes “unpleasant action”. More specifically, “unpleasant behavior” includes predetermined “provocation motion” and “provocation speech” during battle, and “chasing attack” to the character during the down motion during the down production and interference with the character. Or a provocation action after a winning or losing decision by performing a specific action such as continuing to circulate around the character, so-called “winning provocation” is included.

  “Provocation motion” and “provocation speech” are basically actions of characters prepared in advance as game specifications, and can be arbitrarily selected and executed by a player by a predetermined operation input. The former is an action involving physical movement such as gestures, and the latter is an action of displaying a predetermined text on a game screen or reproducing a predetermined speech from a speaker. The latter is sometimes called “appeal”. In addition, the “provocation action” may include a combination of a plurality of continuous actions defined in advance in the unpleasant behavior dictionary. For example, an operation such as bending and turning repeated at an unnatural speed in a short time can be set as appropriate by the game producer.

The “chase attack” is a so-called attack technique in general, such as kicking, punching, slashing, or shooting a character that is moving down. It is also called "corpse attack", "kick kick", "shoot dead body", etc.
“Winning provocation” is performed after the winning or losing decision is made and the opponent becomes incapable of action, some kind of interfering action with the character that is moving down, such as pushing, pulling or placing an item, usually around the character It is a combination of bending, stretching, jumping, and specific movements that are repeated many times at a speed that cannot be seen during the battle.

  In the present embodiment, each player can set whether or not to allow the player to realize such an unpleasant behavior in the game device 1400B before the game is started. Various processes for avoiding the realization of an unpleasant act in the game device 1400B are collectively referred to as an “unpleasant act filter” in this specification.

FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the function of an unpleasant action filter for an unpleasant action during a battle.
For an uncomfortable act during battle, the game device 1400B examines the operation input information transmitted from the other game device 1400A, and if the operation input of “provocation speech” is detected, the corresponding operation input information is displayed. Change to a no-input state where no operation is input and invalidate.
Further, when the operation input information of a predetermined “provocation action” is detected as a result of the inspection, it is replaced with the operation input information of a predetermined “provocation alternative action” that is difficult to understand as an unpleasant act.

  The “provocation alternative action” referred to here is an action with no apparent provocative content, although the hit determination area 22 has substantially the same shape and size as the hit determination area 20 of the “provocation action”. It is an operation prepared in advance in a pair with the operation. For example, if the provocation motion is a beckoning motion, the provocation substitution operation can be a motion in which the basic posture is the same but the wrist beckoning motion is omitted.

  As a result, even if an unpleasant act is performed by the other character 2 on the game screen W6a of the other game device 1400A, the unpleasant act is not realized on the game screen W6b of the own game device 1400B. In addition, by making the “provocation alternative action” an action having the hit determination area 22 having substantially the same shape and size as the hit determination area 20 in the associated “provocation action”, the player character 4 attacks during the uncomfortable act. The result of the game is the same in the process of the other game apparatus 1400A and the process of the own game apparatus 1400B, and it is possible to prevent the game world from being shifted between the two game apparatuses.

  It should be noted that the hit determination area 20 for the provocation action and the hit determination area 22 for the provocation substitution action are not limited to the exact same shape and size, and even if there is a difference in a range where the game does not feel uncomfortable. I do not care. In other words, the “provocation substitution action” may be set so as to satisfy the same condition as the size of the hit determination area when the other character 2 moves according to the operation input information. In other words, the apparent motions of the provocation action and the provocation alternative action may be completely different, or the hit determination areas 20 and 22 may be configured to be equal.

FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the first function of the unpleasant behavior filter for the unpleasant behavior during the down effect.
While the down effect is being executed, the player's own game device 1400 </ b> B temporarily sets the virtual camera for shooting the game space (such as the line-of-sight direction, posture, shooting angle of view, focus position, etc.) Can also be changed not to shoot it.

  Specifically, for example, the player's own character 4 and the other character 2 fall within the shooting angle of view standard setting (see the virtual camera 30 in the shooting frame indicated by the broken line in the figure) during the battle. The setting is changed to a setting to look up at the sky that gives an image of the line of sight of 4 (see the virtual camera 32 in the figure), so that an unpleasant act of the other character 2 is not reflected on the game screen W6c of the game device 1400B. In this case, it is preferable that the installation position of the virtual camera 32 is sufficiently high so that the other character 2 does not enter the shooting range of the virtual camera 32.

  In addition, the setting may be changed so that the angle of view is extremely small so that the face of the character 4 is photographed up (see the virtual camera 34 in the figure). In this case, the dummy 4b (duplicated player character) of the player character 4 is placed in the dummy game space 5b formed in the game space or in another virtual three-dimensional space provided separately from the game space 5, and this is used as the subject. It is preferable to change the setting so that By providing the dummy game space 5b and using the dummy 4b in the dummy game space 5b as a subject, whatever action the other character 2 performs in the game space, the state is displayed on the game screen W6d of the game device 1400B. Will not be shown. In other words, it can be said that an image for avoiding unpleasant acts that does not include the state of the other character 2 in the image is generated as the game space image.

FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the second function of the unpleasant behavior filter for the unpleasant behavior during the down effect.
While the down effect is being executed, the own game device 1400B plays and displays a predetermined moving image instead of the game space image captured by the virtual camera during the down effect, so that even if an uncomfortable act is performed, It can be prevented from being displayed on the game screen of the device 1400B. Specifically, for example, a video (content animation notifying that the game cannot be continued) for notifying that the character 4 has become unable to act is prepared in advance, and while the down effect is being executed, the game space Instead of the image, the display of the remaining time 6 and the life point gauges 8 and 10 are combined with the image of the moving image to obtain a game screen W6e. Then, when the down effect is finished and a win / loss declaration is made, the game screen is again displayed by the virtual camera.

FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the third function of the unpleasant behavior filter for the unpleasant behavior during the down effect.
While the down effect is being executed, the game device 1400B can change the operation input information received from the other game device 1400A. More specifically, (1) a method of invalidating all received operation input information so that no operation is input, and (2) an operation of a predetermined provocation action by examining the received operation input information. A method of replacing the operation input information with the operation input information of the provocation substitution action when the input information is detected; and (3) an operation input for performing an action corresponding to an unpleasant action defined in a predetermined unpleasant action dictionary. The method of invalidating the subsequent operation input information can be used alone or in combination.

  Although the method of the third function (1) is the simplest to realize, even an action that does not correspond to an unpleasant act such as a greeting or respect for the other character 2 to the player character 4 is rendered infeasible. I worry about the side effects that spoil some of the fun. The methods of the third function (2) and (3) do not have such a worry because the operation input information corresponding to the unpleasant act is selectively excluded. In any case, even if an unpleasant act is performed on the game screen W6f of the other game device 1400A, the unpleasant act is not realized on the game screen W6g of the own game device 1400B.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, even if a provocative action or chasing attack by another character 2 is performed in the game space of the other game apparatus 1400A, the own game apparatus is enabled by enabling the discomfort action filter. In 1400B, it is possible to avoid discomfort from being displayed on the game screen. Therefore, even if a player who favorably considers a provocative act as an element that enhances game characteristics and a player who recognizes a provocative act as an unpleasant act, the latter makes the latter unpleasantly unpleasant and the fun of the battle game You can be careful not to take away.

[Description of functional block]
Next, a functional configuration example for realizing the above-described game will be described.
FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the portable game apparatus 1400 according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the present embodiment includes an operation input unit 100, a processing unit 200, a sound output unit 350, an image display unit 360, a communication unit 370, and a storage unit 500.

  The operation input unit 100 outputs an operation input signal to the processing unit 200 in accordance with various operation inputs made by the player. For example, a button switch, a joystick, a touch pad, a trackball, a multi-axis detection type acceleration sensor having two or more detection axes, or a single axis detection type acceleration sensor unit combined with different detection axis directions, at least two or more directions This can be realized by a multi-directional detection type inclination sensor that enables the detection directions of the two or a single direction detection type inclination sensor unit combined with different detection directions. The direction input key 1402 and the button switch 1404 in FIG. 1 correspond to this.

  The operation input unit 100 includes a contact position detection unit 102. The contact position detection unit 102 is realized by a device that can detect a contact position on the display screen. The touch panels 1407 and 1409 in FIG. 1 correspond to this.

The processing unit 200 is realized by electronic components such as a microprocessor such as a CPU and a GPU, an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit), and an IC memory, and includes the operation input unit 100 and the storage unit 500. Data input / output control is performed with each functional unit. Then, various arithmetic processes are executed based on predetermined programs and data, and operation input signals from the operation input unit 100 to control the operation of the portable game apparatus 1400. In FIG. 1, the control unit 1450 corresponds to the processing unit 200.
The processing unit 200 in the present embodiment includes a game calculation unit 210, a sound generation unit 250, an image generation unit 260, and a communication control unit 270.

The game calculation unit 210 executes various processes related to the progress of the communication type battle game.
Specifically, a process for searching for another game apparatus 1400A connected to the communication line 1 to establish data communication, a process for selecting and registering the type of character used with the player, and a game space in the virtual three-dimensional space Based on the process of forming and arranging the other character 2 and the own character 4, the process of controlling the movement of the other character 2 based on the operation input information received from the other game device 1400A, and the operation input made to the operation input unit 100 The process of controlling the action of the player character 4, the hit determination process, the damage amount calculation process, the life point subtraction process, the process of causing the character whose life point is “0” to perform a predetermined down action, the win / loss determination, the win / loss Execute result notification processing, play history storage processing, and the like.

  And the game calculating part 210 in this embodiment performs the discomfort act execution setting part 212 which performs the process regarding the setting of a discomfort act filter, and the discomfort act which performs the various processes for avoiding execution of the discomfort action in a self-game device. And a filter processing unit 214. Specifically, the unpleasant behavior filter processing unit 214 includes an unpleasant behavior operation input determination unit 216, an operation input information change unit 218, a virtual camera setting change unit 220, a dummy placement unit 222, and an effect video playback control unit 222. Including.

  The unpleasant behavior execution setting unit 212 has a function of displaying a predetermined selection screen before starting the game, and automatically setting a default setting of presence / absence of the unpleasant behavior filter based on information related to past play of the player. In addition, a selection function that allows the player to select whether or not the discomfort action filter is present in the current game play, that is, whether to allow or disallow execution of the discomfort action in the own game device is realized with respect to the default setting.

  The unpleasant action operation input determination unit 216 determines whether or not the operation input information received from the other game device 1400A corresponds to an unpleasant action operation condition in which an uncomfortable action operation is input. The unpleasant behavior operation condition in the present embodiment is defined by the unpleasant behavior dictionary data 530 in the storage unit 500.

  The operation input information changing unit 218 changes the operation input information so that the uncomfortable action is not performed when the latest operation input information received from the other game device 1400A includes information corresponding to the operation input of the unpleasant action. . Specifically, the corresponding operation input information is changed and invalidated as if no operation input was originally performed. Or it changes into operation input information (for example, operation input information of provocation substitution operation) of other operation which is hard to be recognized as an unpleasant act.

  The virtual camera setting changing unit 220 automatically sets the shooting position, the line-of-sight direction, the angle of view, the focus position, etc. so that the subject character and the other character are captured within the angle of view at the standard time, and are in focus. Is temporarily forcibly changed so that unpleasant acts on the player character are not shot. Specifically, during the down effect, the line of sight is directed out of the character, the angle of view is changed so that a specific part of the character is extremely close up, the focus position is changed quickly, and the character is focused. Change the setting of the virtual camera, such as changing the setting so that it is outside.

  The dummy placement unit 222 performs control to place the dummy 4 b of the original character 4 as a substitute subject during the down effect in the game space 5 or the dummy game space 5 b separated from the game space 5. When the dummy 4b is arranged by the dummy arranging unit 222, the virtual camera setting changing unit 220 changes the setting of the virtual camera so that the dummy 4b is the subject.

  The effect video playback control unit 224 switches image generation control so that a predetermined effect video is played instead of the game space image captured by the self-screen virtual camera during the down effect.

  The sound generation unit 250 is realized by, for example, a digital signal processor (DSP), a processor such as a voice synthesis IC, an audio codec that can play back an audio file, and the like. BGM and sound signals of various operation sounds are generated and output to the sound output unit 350.

  The sound output unit 350 is realized by a device that outputs sound effects, BGM, and the like based on the sound signal input from the sound generation unit 250. In FIG. 1, the speaker 1410 corresponds to this.

  The image generation unit 260 is realized by, for example, a processor such as a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) or a digital signal processor (DSP), a program such as a video signal IC or a video codec, an IC memory for a drawing frame such as a frame buffer, or the like. The image generation unit 260 generates one game screen in one frame time (for example, 1/60 seconds) based on the processing result by the game calculation unit 210, and outputs an image signal of the generated game screen to the image display unit 360. To do.

The image display unit 360 displays various game images based on the image signal input from the image generation unit 260. For example, it can be realized by an image display device such as a flat panel display, a cathode ray tube (CRT), a projector, or a head mounted display.
In the present embodiment, the first liquid crystal display 1406 and the second liquid crystal display 1408 in FIG.

  The communication control unit 270 executes data processing related to data communication, and realizes data exchange with an external device via the communication unit 370.

  The communication unit 370 is connected to the communication line 1 to realize communication. For example, it is realized by a wireless communication device, a modem, a TA (terminal adapter), a cable communication cable jack, a control circuit, and the like, and the wireless communication module 1412 of FIG. 1 corresponds to this.

  The storage unit 500 stores a system program for realizing various functions for causing the processing unit 200 to control the portable game device 1400 in an integrated manner, a game program necessary for executing the game, various data, and the like. . Further, it is used as a work area of the processing unit 200, and temporarily stores calculation results executed by the processing unit 200 according to various programs, input data input from the operation input unit 100, and the like. This function is realized by, for example, an IC memory such as a RAM and a ROM, a magnetic disk such as a hard disk, and an optical disk such as a CD-ROM and DVD. In FIG. 1, this corresponds to an IC memory or a memory card 1440 mounted on the control unit 1450.

  In the present embodiment, the storage unit 500 stores a system program 501 and a game program 502. The system program 501 is a program for realizing basic functions of input / output as a computer of the portable game apparatus 1400. The game program 502 is application software for realizing the function as the game calculation unit 210 by being read and executed by the processing unit 200, but may be configured as a part of the system program 501.

  Further, the storage unit 500 stores stage initial setting data 504, character initial setting data 506, unpleasant behavior dictionary data 530, and effect moving image library 540 as data prepared in advance. In addition, play data 550 and play history data 580 are stored as data that is generated and updated as needed as the game is prepared and progressed. Furthermore, data (for example, a timer value and a counter) necessary for executing a process related to the progress of the game is also stored as appropriate.

  The stage initial setting data 504 stores data for displaying the stage to be played. In this embodiment, since a game image is generated by 3DCG, model data, texture data, arrangement position data, and the like of various objects for forming the game space 5 or the dummy game space 5b in the virtual three-dimensional space are stored.

The character initial setting data 506 stores various setting data of characters that can be selected as the player character 4 in the battle game.
For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the character initial setting data 506 stores a data set 508 for each selectable character. One data set 508 includes a character ID 510, model data 512, texture data 514, a motion data library 516, and provocative speech data 518.

  The motion data library 516 stores motion data of various actions of the character. In the present embodiment, the provocation motion and the provocation speech are unique actions prepared in advance. Therefore, the provocation motion associated with the operation input command of the provocation motion (the operation input command 103 in the figure) and the operation input command of the provocation speech are used. The associated speech motion is included. The speech motion is, for example, a movement of the mouth without moving the body. Also, the motion data library 516 of the present embodiment provides a provocation alternative motion associated with an operation input command (operation input command 105 in the figure) for provocation alternative operation. Further, although there is no association with the operation input command, a down motion for realizing a down operation is prepared.

  The provocation speech data 518 is text displayed on the screen or speech speech data to be reproduced when a provocation speech operation input command is input.

  The unpleasant behavior dictionary data 530 stores data defining operation input information of actions and combinations of actions that may be recognized as unpleasant acts. That is, the operation input information corresponding to the unpleasant behavior operation condition is defined.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the unpleasant behavior dictionary data 530 includes a dictionary set 536 for each character that can be selected by the player. One dictionary set 536 is associated with an applied character ID 538 that designates a character to which the dictionary set is applied, and is arranged in time-series operation input information that defines a motion and a combination of motions recognized as an unpleasant act. Stores multiple types of operation input command group information. For example, a pattern such as a turning motion that is continuously repeated at one place and a bending and stretching motion that is continuously repeated is defined.
The unpleasant behavior dictionary data 530 may be information prepared in advance by the game producer, or may be added or changed by the player himself / herself on a separate editing screen, and the player history data 530 can be added to the player history data 580. It is good also as a structure stored as dictionary data.

  The effect animation library 540 stores animation data for various effects inserted before the game starts, during the game, at the end of the game, and the like. In particular, in this embodiment, the play continuation impossible notification effect movie data 542 is prepared for each character that can be selected by the player, and when it is recognized as an uncomfortable act during the down effect, the movie data is read and reproduced. The

The play data 550 stores data for executing the current battle and various data defining the progress of the game.
For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the play data 550 of this embodiment includes an unpleasant behavior filter setting 552, an own character ID 554, an own character operation input log 556, an own character action control data 558, and an own character life point. 560 are stored.

The unpleasant behavior filter setting 552 is a flag indicating whether or not an unpleasant behavior filter is set, that is, whether or not to execute unpleasant behavior.
Further, the identification information of the character selected by the player as the player's own character before the start of the game is stored in the player's character ID 554, and the operation input made to the operation input unit 100 is always stored as a player character operation input log 556 in time series. Is done. The own character action control data 558 stores various motion control information for controlling the action of the own character 4 during the game.

  Further, the play data 550 in the present embodiment includes other game device address 562, other character ID 564, other character latest operation input information 566, and other character operation input log 568 as information related to the other character 2 as an opponent. The other character action control data 570 and the other character life point 572 are stored.

  The other game device address 562 is information for specifying the other game device 1400A. For example, an IP address is stored. Other character ID 564 stores identification information of a character used as other character 2. The other game device address 562 and the other character ID 564 are acquired and exchanged at the stage of establishing communication between game devices in the matching process before starting the game.

The other character latest operation input information 566 stores the latest operation input information received from another game device. The operation input information received in the past is stored as another character operation input log 568 for a certain period of time.
The other character motion control data 570 stores various motion control information for controlling the motion of the other character 2 during the game.

  The play data 550 also includes virtual camera setting data 574 that stores various setting values (arrangement position coordinates, line-of-sight direction, shooting angle of view, aperture, focus position, etc.) related to the shooting of the virtual camera for the self screen.

  The play history data 580 is prepared for each player, and stores information regarding the player's personal information and past play results. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the team ID 584, rank 586 which is one parameter indicating the skill of the player, battle history data 588, and previous discomfort action filter setting 590 are stored in association with the player ID 582. The player's personal information can include age, gender, and the like.

The player ID 582 is identification information prepared before starting the game when the game of the present embodiment is played for the first time. When the game manager separately manages the player name set by the player and registration of the player, a unique number given by the manager corresponds to this.
The affiliation team ID 584 is identification information of the friendship group to which the player belongs. The player can arbitrarily set it.
The rank 586 is a parameter that is automatically set based on the number of times of play, the competition results, and the like, and corresponds to information such as a known rank, class, play level, etc. that shows the player skill and the battle results.

  The battle history data 588 stores information on other players and performance information for each other player who has played in the past. For example, in association with the other player ID 588a, information such as the team ID 588b and rank 588c of the other player and the battle result 588d with the other player are stored.

  The other player ID 588a, the belonging team ID 588b, and the rank 588c are acquired in the matching process. The total competition result 588d may be the number of wins or losses, or the ranking history of the grand prix, the total number of points acquired, the history of the determined technique, or the like.

  In addition, when the same function as the friend registration function in a well-known online game is realized by the game calculation unit 210, the friend flag 588e can be included in the battle history data 588. The friend flag 588e is a flag indicating that the player himself / herself has been recognized as a friendly player, and can be arbitrarily set by the player.

[Description of process flow]
Next, a processing flow of the portable game device 1400 in the present embodiment will be described. A series of processing flow described here is realized by the processing unit 200 reading and executing the game program 502. Although the description regarding the output of the game sound is omitted, it is assumed that the game sound is appropriately played back as in the case of a known video game.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of processing in the present embodiment. Here, the description will be made on the premise that the game is ended after winning or losing is determined in one battle.

The processing unit 200 first executes a player registration process (step S2). The player registration process may be realized in the same manner as the setting process related to player registration in a known online battle game. For example, if the play history data 580 is not in the storage unit 500, a predetermined input screen is displayed and the player is allowed to input the player ID and the team ID.
The processing unit 200 causes the storage unit 500 to store new play history data 580 based on these input results. At this time, the rank 586 is a predetermined initial rank, and the previous unpleasant behavior filter setting 590 is determined by an automatic default setting described later. Note that when there is existing play history data 580, such processing relating to new registration can be skipped.

Next, the processing unit 200 makes an ad hoc connection with the other game device 1400A used by another player who is an opponent who is executing the same game program, using the wireless communication module 1412 (step S4).
The mutual address and player information such as player ID, team ID, and rank are exchanged (step S6). The processing unit 200 generates the current play data 550 in the storage unit 500 and registers the received address as the other game device address 562. In addition, if there is no overlapping registration information in the battle history data 588 of the play history data 580, the other player ID, the team ID, and the rank of the other player IDs, team IDs, ranks, and the like acquired here are displayed. Newly register it in association.

Next, the processing unit 200 performs the selection process of the player character 4 in the same manner as the selection process of the used character in the known battle game (step S8). The processing unit 200 newly generates the current play data 550 in the storage unit 500 and sets the own character ID 554 according to the selection result. Then, the mutual character ID is exchanged with the other machine (step S10). At this time, the character ID received from the other device is registered as the other character ID 564 of the play data 550.
Then, the processing unit 200 executes an unpleasant behavior filter automatic setting process (step S12).

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of unpleasant behavior filter automatic setting processing in the present embodiment. In this process, first, the processing unit 200 refers to the other character ID 564 of the play data 550 and the battle history data 588 of the player history data 580 to determine whether or not the other player who will play this time is registered as a friendly player ( Step S18). If the friend flag 588e is set to “1” (YES in step S18), the other player is recognized as a friend, so the processing unit 200 defaults the discomfort action filter setting 552 of the play data 550 to “none”. (Step S30).

  If it is not registered as a friendly player (NO in step S18), the processing unit 200 then belongs to the team ID 584 of the play history data 580 and the team of another player who is the current opponent registered in the battle history data 588. The ID 588b is checked to determine whether the other player belongs to the same team as the player (step S20).

  If it belongs to the same team (YES in step S20), the processing unit 200 is an element that excites the game even in an action that may be interpreted as an unpleasant action between the first face-to-face and the other players have a friendly relationship. It is determined that it can be regarded as one, and the discomfort action filter setting 552 of the play data 550 is set to “none” (step S30).

If the belonging teams are different (NO in step S20), the processing unit 200 further refers to the battle record 588d of the battle history data 588, and the number of battles between the player and the other player who plays this time is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference value. It is determined whether or not there is (step S22).
If the number of battles is equal to or greater than the reference value (YES in step S22), the processing unit 200 allows and allows the player and other players to be aware of each other's play style even if they belong to different teams. It is considered to be a friend who enjoys the game. Then, it is determined that an act that may be interpreted as an unpleasant act at first meeting can be regarded as one of the elements that excite the game, and the unpleasant act filter setting of this time is set to “None” by default (step S30). .

If the number of matches does not satisfy the reference value (NO in step S22), the processing unit 200 then refers to the rank 586 of the play history data 580 and determines whether the player's rank has reached a predetermined advanced rank. (Step S24).
The processing unit 200 determines that if the player has an advanced rank, there is a high possibility that an action that can be interpreted as an unpleasant action is likely to be allowed as one of the elements that excite the game. The unpleasant behavior filter setting 552 is set to “none” (step S30).

If the rank of the player does not correspond to the advanced rank (NO in step S24), the processing unit 200 further refers to the previous unpleasant behavior filter setting 590 of the play history data 580 (step S26).
If the previous unpleasant behavior filter setting 598 is “none” (YES in step S26), the current unpleasant behavior filter setting 552 is also set to “none” (step S30). If “Yes” (NO in Step S26), the unpleasant behavior filter setting 552 is set to “Yes” by default (Step S32).

  Next, the processing unit 200 displays the current setting (default setting) of the unpleasant behavior filter setting 552 this time, and can select whether the setting of the filter is left as the default by the player or the setting is changed. Is displayed on the screen (step S34). Then, according to the player's selection operation, the setting of the unpleasant behavior filter setting 552 of the play data 550 is determined (step S36), and the unpleasant behavior filter automatic setting process is terminated.

  It should be noted that the parameters for determining the setting in the unpleasant behavior filter automatic setting process are not limited to the friend flag, the belonging team, the competition result, the rank, etc. described here, but can be set as appropriate. For example, when the age of the player is less than the reference value, the default can be “present”. Further, when a parental code or parental lock is set, the default may be “present” and steps S34 to S36 may be skipped.

  In addition, in the case of a one-to-many survival type game or a many-to-many team battle type game, the number of other players used as the determination criteria in steps S18 to S22 can be set as appropriate. From the standpoint of prevention, it is desirable to have a configuration that branches to “YES” and sets the discomfort action filter to “none” only when all other players satisfy the determination conditions in each step.

When the unpleasant behavior filter automatic setting process is completed, returning to the flowchart of FIG. 12, the processing unit 200 next refers to the stage initial setting data 504 and forms a game space as a battle stage in the three-dimensional virtual space. Then, referring to the character initial setting data 506, the own character and the model of the other character are arranged at the initial position (step S40).
Then, a self-view virtual camera is arranged, and automatic control of the line-of-sight direction and the angle of view is started so that the self-character is always in the game screen (step S42). In the process so far, the previous work for starting the game is completed.

When the game is started (step S44), the processing unit 200 stores the operation input information based on the operation input on the own device in the own character operation input log 556 of the play data 550 for a certain period of time, and stores the operation input information on the other device. Transmit (step S46).
The operation input information transmitted from the other device is received and stored in the other character latest operation input information 566 of the play data 550 and added to the other character operation input log 568 (step S48).

  Here, if the player character is still in a state where the battle can be continued (YES in step S50), the processing unit 200 executes the first unpleasant behavior filtering process (step S52).

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the first discomfort filtering process in the present embodiment. In this process, when the discomfort action filter setting 552 of the play data 550 is set to “present” (YES in step S60), the processing unit 200 stores the other character latest operation input information 566 and the other character operation input log 568. A collation process with the input pattern defined in the unpleasant behavior dictionary data 530 is executed on the object (step S62).

  When the operation input information corresponding to the unpleasant behavior is detected (YES in step S64) and it corresponds to the predetermined “provocation action” (YES in step S66), the processing unit 200 performs the other character latest operation. The corresponding operation input information in the input information 566 and the other character operation input log 568 is replaced with operation input information of a predetermined “provocation alternative action” (step S68), and the first discomfort action filtering process is terminated.

  Further, when the operation input information corresponding to the detected unpleasant behavior is a “provocation remark” or a single operation or combination operation other than a predetermined provocation operation such as repeated bending and stretching (NO in step S66), the other character latest operation input The corresponding operation input information in the information 566 and the other character operation input log 568 is invalidated, for example, as a state in which no operation is input (step S70), and the first discomfort action filtering process is terminated.

  In the first place, when the unpleasant behavior filter setting 552 is “none” (NO in step S60), or when the operation input information of unpleasant behavior is not detected as a result of the collation process in step S64 (NO in step S64). The first discomfort filtering process is terminated without performing the process of replacing or invalidating the received operation input information.

When the first discomfort filtering process is completed, the process returns to the flowchart of FIG. 12, and the processing unit 200 next controls the movement of each character (step S80). Specifically, motion control is performed on the own character based on the latest operation input information among the operation input information stored in the own character operation input log 556. For other characters, if the battle can be continued, the motion control is performed based on the other character latest operation input information 566. If the other character life point 572 reaches “0” and it is determined that the battle cannot be continued, a predetermined down motion is performed. To control the operation.
And the process part 200 performs the damage process based on operation control (step S82). In the damage processing, hit determination, damage amount calculation, and damage amount subtraction processing from the life point of the character receiving the damage are performed.

  Then, the processing unit 200 determines whether or not the game end condition is satisfied (step S124). In this embodiment, since it is a one-on-one battle game between the player character 4 and the other character 2, any character whose life point is “0” is regarded as a loss, and the down motion of the character is completed. If so, it is determined that the game end condition is satisfied.

  If the life point of at least any character is not “0”, the game end condition is not satisfied (NO in step S124), and the process proceeds to step S46.

  When the game progresses and damage occurs, and the player character life point 560 becomes “0” and the battle cannot be continued (NO in step S50), the processing unit 200 performs the second discomfort action filtering process. Execute (Step S84).

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the second discomfort filtering process in the present embodiment. In this process, when the discomfort action filter setting 552 is set to the filter “present” (YES in step S90), the processing unit 200 first selects any one of the first to fourth by a known random lottery using random numbers. A filter type is selected (step S92). The filter type mentioned here corresponds to the function of the unpleasant behavior filter described in FIG. 4 for the first type, and the function of the unpleasant behavior filter described in FIG. 5 for the second type. The third and fourth types correspond to the functions described in FIG.

When the first type is selected (YES in step S94), the processing unit 200 sets the standard settings such as the shooting position and the shooting angle of view of the self-view virtual camera to other characters when the other character is uncomfortable. Even if it is performed, the setting is changed so as not to be reflected on the game screen (step S96). More specifically, (1) The direction of the line of sight of the virtual camera is changed so that neither the player character 4 nor the other character 2 is captured in the same game space. (2) The dummy 4b of the player character 4 is placed in another dummy space. Arrange and move down, and change the virtual camera to shoot the dummy, or (3) Change the focus position so that the appearance of the player character 4 and the other character 2 is not known Select and execute.
Note that the line-of-sight direction after the change may be set so that a part of the player character 4 is included in the field of view if the appearance does not appear on the game screen even if the other character 2 performs an unpleasant act on the player character 4. it can. For example, the viewing direction and the angle of view can be set so that the face of the player character 4 is captured. Alternatively, it can be set so that the focus is quickly shifted so that even if an unpleasant act is performed, it cannot be recognized.

  When the second type is selected (YES in step S98), the processing unit 200 reproduces / displays the game continuation-not-notification effect moving image data 542 in place of the game space image captured by the self-screen virtual camera. (Step S100), the second discomfort filtering process is terminated.

  When the third type is selected (YES in step S102), the processing unit 200 changes the operation input information stored in the other character latest operation input information 566 to a value in which no operation input is received. The entered operation input information is invalidated (step S104).

  If the fourth type is selected (YES in step S106), the processing unit 200 is defined in the unpleasant behavior dictionary data 530 for the other character latest operation input information 566 and the other character operation input log 568. A matching process with the input pattern is executed (step S108). If the operation input information corresponding to the unpleasant behavior is detected (YES in step S110) and if it corresponds to the predetermined “provocation action” (YES in step S112), the processing unit 200 performs the other character latest operation. The corresponding operation input information in the input information 566 and the other character operation input log 568 is replaced with operation input information of a predetermined “provocation alternative action” (step S114), and the second discomfort action filtering process is terminated.

  If the operation input information corresponding to the detected unpleasant action is a single action or combination action other than a predetermined “provocation action” such as “provocation remark” or repeated bending and stretching (NO in step S112), the other character latest operation The operation input information stored in the input information 566 is invalidated until the end of the down motion of the player character (step S116), and the second discomfort action filtering process is ended.

  On the other hand, when the unpleasant behavior filter setting 552 is “None” in the first place (NO in step S90), or when the operation input corresponding to the unpleasant behavior is not detected as a result of the collation process in step S110 (NO in step S110). ), The process of replacing or invalidating the received operation input information is not performed, and the second unpleasant behavior filtering process is terminated.

  Note that the filter types that can be selected in the second discomfort filtering process are not limited to the four types described above, and can be added or omitted as appropriate. For example, only one of the first to fourth types may be used.

  When the second unpleasant behavior filtering process is completed, the processing unit 200 returns to the flowchart of FIG. 12 in accordance with the other character latest operation input information 566 for the other character 2 invalidated or replaced by the second unpleasant behavior filtering process. Then, the operation of the other character 2 is controlled (step S120). In the second discomfort filtering process, when the second type is selected, the predetermined moving image is replaced with the time required for the down motion of the player character 4 instead of the game space image captured by the own screen virtual camera. Playback processing is performed. On the other hand, the own character 4 is controlled so as to perform a predetermined down action that makes the battle impossible due to the life point being “0” (step S122).

Next, the processing unit 200 determines whether or not a game end condition is satisfied (step S124). If the down action of the player character 4 is completed, it is determined in the present embodiment that the game end condition is satisfied (YES in step S124), and a text indicating victory or defeat is displayed on the game screen in accordance with the win or loss of the player character 4. Then, a win / loss declaration process is executed (step S126).
Then, the processing unit 200 updates the play history data 580 (step S128) and ends a series of processes. When the play history data 580 is updated, the rank 586 indicating the skill of the player is automatically set / changed according to the play result as in the known battle game. Also, the battle history data 588 is updated.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, if the player sets the discomfort action filter to “present” before the game starts, the “provocation action” or “provocation remark” prepared as the game specification is performed. Even if the other player inputs the operation input in the other game device 1400A, it can be prevented from being executed in the own game device 1400B. Therefore, even if a player who feels uncomfortable with provocation actions and provocations and a player who positively considers the battle game as an element that heaps up, he can enjoy the battle game without feeling uncomfortable with each other become.

  In addition, when the discomfort action filter is set to “present”, the “provocation action” is replaced with a “provocation alternative action” in which the shape and size of the hit determination area are adjusted to be substantially the same. Since the attack during the “provocation action” and the “provocation substitute action” in the game device 1400B are both the same hit determination result, there is no difference between the game worlds.

  In the same way, setting the disagreement filter setting to “Yes” for chase attacks on characters that have become inoperable after winning or losing decisions, interference with the characters, and appealing activities around the characters. It will not be displayed as the game screen of your machine.

  In this embodiment, a portable game device is described as an example of a computer as a game device. However, a stationary home game device, a business game device, a mobile phone, a personal computer, a car navigation system that can execute a game program as an application. It may be a silicon audio player.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 16, a plurality of arcade game devices 1300 (1300 (1) to 1300 (n): n is a natural number indicating the number of units) installed in a game center or the like may be It is connected to the game server device 1100 via the communication line 1, and a system configuration can be adopted in which a battle game is executed by matching a match-up candidate between the same type machines in a store or other stores.

  The arcade game apparatus 1300 includes an operation console 1304 provided with an input device such as (1) a joystick 1306 and a plurality of push switches 1308 for a player to input various operations, and (2) a game image. An image display device 1322 such as a liquid crystal panel display or CRT for displaying the image, (3) a speaker 1324, and a game card reader / writer 1330 for reading and writing data from a game card 1360 which is a portable information storage medium, (4) A coin counter 1340, (5) a control unit 1310, and a power supply device (not shown) are provided.

  The control unit 1310 corresponds to the control unit 1450 of the first embodiment, and includes a communication device 1312 that is wired or wirelessly connected to the communication line 1 and realizes data communication with an external device. The control unit 1310 reads out a system program and a game program stored in a storage device such as an installed IC memory and performs arithmetic processing to control each unit of the arcade game device 1300.

  In order to play a battle game on the arcade game device 1300, the player registers the player in advance and player information (for example, a player ID such as a handle name, It is possible to obtain a game card 1360 storing a character type to be used). When playing a game, it is necessary to insert it into the game card reader / writer 1330 of the arcade game apparatus 1300 to read the stored player information. The player registration and the issuance of the game card 1360 may be performed by providing a dedicated registration device as is well known, or may be performed by the arcade game device 1300. Note that the player registration information is stored and managed by the game server device 1100.

  In such a system configuration, the present invention can be applied by causing the arcade game apparatus 1300 to function in the same manner as the portable game apparatus 1400. At that time, the play history data 580 may be stored and managed in a unified manner by the game server device 1100, or may be stored in the game card 1360.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, as a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied, an example will be described in which the execution subject of the process related to the change of operation input information corresponding to an unpleasant act is a computer outside the game device used by the player. In addition, the same code | symbol is provided about the component similar to 1st Embodiment, the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted, and the difference with 1st Embodiment shall be mainly demonstrated.

  This embodiment has a system configuration similar to that shown in FIG. The game server device 1100 is realized in the same manner as a known server device in terms of basic hardware configuration and system program configuration. Then, the game server device 1100 receives the operation input information from the matching processing and each of the matched arcade game devices 1300, and sends the received operation input signal to the device having the discomfort action filter set to “present”. On the other hand, distribution is performed after executing the unpleasant behavior filter processing, and the received operation input signal is distributed as it is to a device in which the setting of the unpleasant behavior filter is “none”. That is, the execution subject of the process related to the change of the operation input information corresponding to the unpleasant behavior is the game server device 1100.

  FIG. 17 is a functional block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of the game server device 1100 according to the present embodiment. The game server device 1100 includes an operation input unit 100, a processing unit 200s, an image display unit 360, a communication unit 370, and a storage unit 500.

  The processing unit 200s corresponds to the processing unit 200 of the first embodiment. For example, it is realized by an electronic component such as a microprocessor such as a CPU or a GPU, an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit), an IC memory, and the functional units of the arcade game apparatus 1300 including the operation input unit 100 and the storage unit 500. Data input / output control between them. Then, various arithmetic processes are executed based on predetermined programs, data, and operation input signals from the operation input unit 100 to control the operation of the game server device 1100.

  The processing unit 200s includes a game server calculation unit 211 that performs various processes related to a user registration function, a matching process, and transmission / reception of various operation input information as a so-called game server device. Specifically, the game server calculation unit 211 includes a matching processing unit 202, an unpleasant behavior execution setting management unit 213, an unpleasant behavior filter processing unit 214, a distribution operation input information generation unit 230, and an operation for server operation. An image generation unit 260 that generates various images and displays them on the image display unit 360, and a communication control unit 270 that executes processing for realizing data communication with the arcade game device 1300 via the communication unit 370 are included.

  The matching processing unit 202 executes processing related to so-called matching that combines the arcade game devices 1300 that participate in a single competitive game at the same time.

  The unpleasant action execution setting management unit 213 receives the unpleasant action filter setting result information from each arcade game device 1300 before starting the game, and stores it in the play data 600 prepared for each game in the storage unit 500.

  In this embodiment, since the game server device 1100 is the main subject of changing the operation input information, the unpleasant action filter processing unit 214 includes an unpleasant action operation input determining unit 216 and an operation input information changing unit 218. However, the unpleasant action operation input determination unit 216 and the operation input information change unit 218 according to the present embodiment use the operation input information received from the arcade game device 1300 as a processing target.

  The distribution operation input information generation unit 230 includes distribution operation input information without filter processing and distribution with filter processing as distribution information including operation input information in all business game devices 1300 matched in each battle. Operation input information is generated. These are temporarily generated in the play data 600 of the storage unit 500 and provided for distribution.

  The storage unit 500 of the game server device 1100 stores a server system program 503, a game server program 505, unpleasant behavior dictionary data 530, play data 600, and play history data 580.

  The server system program 503 is a program for causing the processing unit 200 to realize basic input / output and arithmetic processing functions as a server device. The game server program 505 is a program for causing the processing unit 200 to realize a function as the game server calculation unit 211.

The play data 600 in the game server device 1100 is prepared for each match that is executed in a matched manner, and information related to the arcade game device 1300 that participates in each match, and operation input information that is received or distributed from them Is stored.
For example, as shown in FIG. 18, the play data 600 stores matching data 602, reception operation input information 604, unfiltered distribution operation input information 606, and filtered processing operation input information 608. .

  The matching data 602 stores a player ID 602b, a character ID 602c of a character used in the game, and an unpleasant action filter setting 602d in association with the address 602a for each matched arcade game device 1300.

  The reception operation input information 604 stores the latest operation input information 604b and an operation input log 604c corresponding to a history of operation input for a predetermined past time in association with the address 604a for each matched arcade game device 1300.

  The distribution operation input information 606 without filtering and the distribution operation input information 608 with filtering are both sets of distribution operation input information generated based on the latest operation input information 604b. The former is generated by combining the latest operation input information 604b as it is, but the latter is subjected to an unpleasant action filtering process and the operation input information corresponding to the unpleasant action operation input is invalidated or replaced with the operation input information of other actions. As a result, operation input information is generated.

  FIG. 19 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the arcade game apparatus 1300 according to the present embodiment. The processing unit 200 of the arcade game apparatus 1300 includes an unpleasant behavior execution setting unit 212C in the game calculation unit 210C corresponding to the game calculation unit 210 of the first embodiment.

  The unpleasant behavior execution setting unit 212C corresponds to the unpleasant behavior execution setting unit 212 of the first embodiment, displays a predetermined selection screen before the game starts, and causes the player to input the setting of the unpleasant behavior filter in the current game play. . The selection result is stored in the play data 550C of the storage unit 500 and transmitted to the game server device 1100 via the communication control unit 270 and the communication unit 370.

  Further, the unpleasant behavior filter processing unit 214 of the arcade game apparatus 1300 omits the functional unit related to the operation input information change processing, and the virtual camera setting change unit 220, the dummy arrangement unit 222, and the effect video playback control unit 224. And are included.

  The storage unit 500 of the arcade game apparatus 1300 stores a system program 501, a game program 502C for causing the processing unit 200 to function as the game calculation unit 210C, stage initial setting data 504, character initial setting data 506, and effects. The video library 540 is stored in advance, and the play data 550C is generated and temporarily stored when the game starts.

  As shown in FIG. 20, for example, the play data 550C basically stores the same information as the play data 550 in the first embodiment, but instead of the other character latest operation input information 566 in the first embodiment, The latest received operation input information 561 that stores the latest operation input information transmitted from the game server device 1100 is stored. In addition, when there are a plurality of other characters, the other character control data set 563 may be configured for each other character.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of processing in the game server device 1100 in the present embodiment. First, the game server device 1100 executes a reception process and a matching process for players participating in the competitive game in the same manner as in a known online game (step S202). In the matching process, the play data 600 is generated in the storage unit 500, and information such as the address 602a and the player ID 602b of the arcade game device 1300 is registered in the matching data 602.

Next, the game server device 1100 receives the selection result of the use character selected by each business game device 1300 and registers it in the character ID 602c of the play data 600, and distributes the selection result to all the business game devices 1300. (Step S204).
Furthermore, the setting result of the unpleasant behavior filter selected by each player is received and registered as the unpleasant behavior filter setting 602d (step S206).

  Then, information such as the player IDs, team IDs, and ranks of all the participating players and setting information such as the character IDs used by each player are distributed to the matched all-use game device 1300 (step S208).

  When the game is started (step S212), the game server device 1100 receives operation input information from each arcade game device 1300, and stores it as the latest operation input information 604b in the reception operation input information 604 of the play data 600. At the same time, the operation input log 604c is added and updated (step S214). Based on the latest operation input information 604b, unfiltered distribution operation input information 606 is generated (step S216).

  Next, the game server device 1100 inspects all the latest operation input information 604b of the play data 600 based on the unpleasant behavior dictionary data 530, and the latest operation input corresponding to the unpleasant behavior operation input information as in the first embodiment. The information 604b is replaced with operation input information not corresponding to invalidation or unpleasant behavior (step S218). Then, the filtered operation input information 608 is generated based on the latest operation input information 604b changed by invalidation or replacement (step S220).

  Next, the game server device 1100 individually distributes the generated unfiltered delivery operation input information 606 or the filtered delivery operation input information 608 according to the unpleasant behavior filter setting in each business game device 1300 received in step S206. (Step S222).

  Here, the game server device 1100 determines whether or not the game end condition is satisfied. If it is a one-on-one battle game, it may be determined as in the first embodiment. If it is a team-matching game, the situation where the game end conditions are met, such as when any character of any team becomes inoperable, the team flag is taken, the team base is destroyed, etc. When it becomes, it determines with a game end.

  If the game end condition is not satisfied (NO in step S224), the process proceeds to step S214. If the game end condition is satisfied (YES in step S224), the result of winning or losing is distributed (step S226), and the play history data 580 of all players participating in the battle game is updated (step S228). The process related to the play of the battle game is terminated.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of processing in the arcade game apparatus 1300 in the present embodiment.
The arcade game device 1300 first accesses the game server device 1100 and inputs a player ID, performs participation acceptance processing in the same manner as acceptance acceptance of a known online game, and receives matching by the game server device 1100 (step S302). ).
Next, the arcade game apparatus 1300 displays a predetermined character selection screen, causes the player to select a character to be used in the game, and transmits the result to the game server apparatus 1100 (step S304). Further, a predetermined selection screen is displayed, the player is made to select whether or not the unpleasant behavior filter is set, and the selection result is transmitted to the game server device 1100 (step S306). The ID of the selected character is stored as the own character ID 554, and the unpleasant action filter setting is stored as the unpleasant action filter setting 552 of the play data 550C. Moreover, in step S306, it is good also as a structure replaced with the unpleasant behavior filter automatic setting process of 1st Embodiment. In this case, information necessary for the determinations in steps S18 to S22 is separately acquired from the game server device 1100.

  Next, the arcade game apparatus 1300 receives the ID of the character used by the other player from the game server apparatus 1100 and stores it as the other character ID 564 of the play data 550C (step S308). Since the type of the other character 2 is now found, the arcade game apparatus 1300 forms a game space in accordance with the stage initial setting data 504 in the virtual three-dimensional space and arranges the player character 4 and the other character 2 (step S310). Then, the self-screen virtual camera is arranged and automatic control is started so that the first character viewpoint or the third person viewpoint of the character 4 is photographed (step S312).

  If the game is started (step S314), the arcade game apparatus 1300 adds and updates the new operation input information in the own machine to the own character operation input log 566 and updates the latest operation input information to the game server apparatus. It transmits to 1100 (step S316). On the other hand, the unfiltered delivery operation input information 606 or the filtered delivery operation input information 608 is received and stored as the latest received operation input information 561 of the play data 550C (step S318).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the battle can be continued with reference to the life point of the player character 4. If the battle can be continued (YES in step S320), the arcade game apparatus 1300 controls the actions of the player character 4 and the other character 2 based on the latest operation input information (step S322). Based on this, damage processing is executed for each character (step S324).

The operation input information in the other arcade game apparatus 1300 received in step S318 and stored in the latest received operation input information 561 is set in the dislike action filter setting in the arcade game apparatus 1300 in step S222 of the game server apparatus 1100. Accordingly, the distribution operation input information without a filter or with a filter is selected. Therefore, if the discomfort act filter setting is set to “Yes”, the received operation input information does not include the discomfort act input information. It will not be executed by the device 1300.
If the game end condition is not satisfied (NO in step S340), the process proceeds to step S316.

  When the game progresses and the player character 4 is unable to continue the battle (NO in step S320), the unpleasant behavior filter setting 552 is referred to. If the unpleasant behavior filter setting 552 is “present”, the second unpleasant behavior filter processing is executed in the same manner as in the first embodiment (step S322). However, in the second discomfort filtering process here, the third type and the fourth type of filter type are excluded from the selection targets. Thereby, the setting of the virtual camera is changed or a predetermined moving image is displayed instead of the game space image captured by the virtual camera, thereby avoiding display of an unpleasant act during the down effect.

  If the down motion is not executed for the player character 4 (YES in step S334), the arcade game apparatus 1300 controls the player character 4 to move down, and moves the other character 2 based on the latest received operation input information. Control is performed (step S336).

  If the game end condition is not satisfied (NO in step S340), the process proceeds to step S316. If the game end condition is satisfied (YES in step S340), the arcade game apparatus 1300 receives a win / loss result from the game server apparatus 1100 (step S342), and executes a win / loss declaration process (step S344).
