  Here, game contents to which the present application is applied will be described. The applicant of the present application has announced a game device for playing by inputting a card using a game card based on a beetle battle. In this game machine, the beetle is projected on a display monitor by computer graphics technology, and the beetle is displayed as a moving image from all angles.

  The content of the game is a card fighting game where beetles fight each other, combining musi cards and work cards, inputting these cards from the card reader provided in the game device, and fighting with the Janken method, just like the real thing The world's beetles that have been recreated and their special moves are the best part.

  On the other hand, you can use up to three shots, one by one, one by one with a name of a professional wrestling that you can't think of as a worm, and with a background of the beetle boom of today, It is popular among boys.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of a game screen according to the form of the first embodiment.

  In this game, the player selects an arbitrary character from among a plurality of beetle characters registered in advance in the computer program, and plays a janken match through the character. In the figure, 1 is a character selected by the player A, 2 is a character selected by the player B, 1a to 1c are icons for displaying the type of janken selected by the player A, and 2a to 2c are the types of janken selected by the player B. An icon to be displayed, 32a is a meter for displaying damage received when the player loses with janken, and 32b is a meter for displaying damage received when player B loses with janken.

  Each character is preset with a janken type that can give more damage when winning the opponent, according to its personality. In the present specification, for convenience of explanation, such a janken type is referred to as a “specific janken type”. For example, the specific janken type of character 1 is set to “go”, and the specific janken type of character 2 is set to “par”. Accordingly, the icons 1a to 1c and 2a to 2c not only display the type of janken, but also change the display mode to reflect the individuality of the characters 1 and 2. In the example shown in the figure, since the specific janken type of the character 1 is “Goo”, the icon 1a is displayed larger than the icons 1b and 1c. Further, since the specific janken type of the character 2 is “par”, the icon 2c is displayed larger than the icons 2a and 2b. Not only the size of the icon but also the size of the icon may be the icon displayed in a graph or numerical value as long as the difference can be understood.

  Thus, by changing the display mode of the icon according to the specific janken type, the players can grasp the specific janken type of the opponent and can enjoy the janken game through bargaining. For example, since player B has a specific janken type of character 1 as “goo”, player A expects that he will give more “par” than other janken types, and gives more “choke”. In view of this, player A also thinks that player B will make more predictions and give more “choke”, so that he will go back and give “goo”. Thus, by devising the specific janken types so that they can recognize each other, janken can be more enjoyed through bargaining.

  In the present embodiment, in addition to the above configuration, an attack option can be set for janken. The “attack option” is an arbitrary parameter for giving a larger damage to the opponent. For example, when the player A sets the attack option to “choki”, the player A “choke” to the player B. If the player wins, the player B can be given more damage than the player who won under the condition where the attack parameter is not set, or other additional effects can be given. Additional effects include, for example, increasing the amount of increase / decrease of the meters 32a, 32b, changing other game parameters different from the meters 32a, 32b temporarily or permanently, or restoring physical strength And changes the parameters of allies and so on.

  FIG. 5 shows a main functional block diagram of a game apparatus that executes the game on a computer system.

  The game apparatus includes a RAM 48, an operation unit 20 that is an operation switch and a touch panel, a CPU core 42, displays (image display means) 12 and 14 that are first and second display screens, and a card viewer (reading means) 3. It is configured.

A variable parameter value (damage value) 7 representing the amount and character setting information 8 representing the character's specific janken type are written. Here, the main processing program 80 and the like are read from the external ROM 28a and loaded into the RAM 48 when the system is started.

  The attack option setting information 5 is information relating to an attack option set by the player's selection, and indicates which player has set which attack option for which janken type. The janken type selection information 6 is information that is buffered in the RAM 48 based on an operation signal from the operation unit 20 based on an operation signal from the operation unit 20 in the janken match. Data corresponding to any one of “GOO”, “CHOKI”, and “PAR” is written. In the character setting information 8, setting information of a specific janken type is registered in a table format for each character.

  The CPU core 42 is provided with a card viewer 3 so that the player can easily select a game card from the game cards held by the player, and the information of the game cards held by the player is character setting information. In addition to reading the character setting information from the memory card 28 in which 8 is recorded and writing it to a predetermined address in the work area 4, reading the attack option setting information from the record of the attack option setting information 5 and writing to the predetermined address in the work area 4 Functions as a means.

  Here, the medium for recording the character setting information 8 and the attack option setting information 5 is not limited to a memory card (reaction body memory element such as DRAM), but an optical recording medium (CD-RAM, CD-ROM, DVD-RAM). , A DVD-ROM, a DVD-R, a PD disk, an MD disk, an MO disk, or other optically readable recording medium) or a magnetic card memory.

  The CPU core 42 appropriately reads the attack option setting information 5, the janken type selection information 6, the damage value 7, the character setting information 8, etc. written in the work area 4 and according to various commands described in the main processing program 80. Functions as superiority / inferiority determining means 31 for performing the superiority / inferiority determination processing, damage calculating means 32 for calculating the damage value 7, and image generating means 33 for generating a game screen. These units do not necessarily have to be realized by a single CPU. For example, the function of the image generation unit 33 may be realized by GPUs (video processors) 50 and 52 dedicated to image processing. Good. The superiority or inferiority determination means 31 reads the janken type selection information 6 and determines victory or defeat according to a predetermined relative superiority or inferiority relationship. As is well known, this superiority and inferiority relationship, “Goo” is relatively higher than “Cho”, “Cho” is relatively higher than “Par”, and “Par” is It is relatively higher than “Goo”.

  The damage calculating means 32 calculates the amount of damage received by the player losing the janken from the attack option setting registered in the attack option setting information 5 and the specific junken type registered in the character setting information 8, The value of damage value 7 in area 4 is updated. When the damage value 7 exceeds a predetermined value, the game is over. The image generation means 33 generates an image for displaying the icon corresponding to the specific janken type separately from the other icons from the information registered in the character setting information 8, and reflects the winning / losing of the game, the change of the damage amount, etc. The image data of the game screen is generated.

  In this case, in the above description, the size of the icon display is changed so that the players can recognize the specific janken type, but the visual display distinction is designed in such a manner that the specific janken type can be mutually recognized. For example, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an icon for displaying a specific janken type is displayed in a different color from other icons, or an icon (for example, “ ("Par" shape icon) may be displayed corresponding to the characters 1 and 2, and further, image data is generated so as to display symbols, characters, pictures, etc. that can recognize specific janken types May be. The image data generated in this way is transferred to the displays 12 and 14 as image display means and displayed as a game screen.

  Although the above description has been given taking janken as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and the selection targets selected by the player from a plurality of selection targets whose relative superiority or inferiority is predetermined are determined. The present invention can be applied to various games that perform superiority or inferiority determination according to superiority or inferiority. For example, in a fighting game, there are four magic spells used in a game in which superiority or inferiority of three types of techniques is determined in advance, such as “blow technique> throw technique> defense (> blow technique)”, or role playing games It can be used for a game in which the superiority and inferiority relationship is cyclically determined as “magic 1> magic 2> magic 3> magic 4 (> magic 1)”. That is, according to the present invention, the superiority or inferiority relationship of the N selection elements S1, S2,..., SN is cyclically determined as “S1> S2>...> SN (> S1)”. By selecting a selection element, it can be applied to any type of game in which the game is advanced by a superiority or inferiority relationship between the selection elements (N is a natural number of 3 or more).

  FIG. 6 shows the structure of acquired card data.

  Acquired card data is an accumulation of card data acquired every time a player plays a game, and its data structure is divided into card ID, number, type, name, freezing, strength, and technique. Sorting can be performed as a key. The card ID is assigned to each card. The number is a number assigned to each type of game card. The type distinguishes whether the game card is a bug card or a skill card. The name is the name of the insect if the game card is an insect card, and the name of the task is assigned if the card is an intention card. Sukumi represents whether the card is activated by any of the game cards, goo, choki, or par. The strength represents the strength preset for the game card. The technique represents a technique value set in advance for the game card.

FIG. 7 shows an example of a display screen in the card viewer mode.

  The upper screen is the first display screen 12, and the lower screen shows the contents of the second display screen 14. The game itself proceeds on the first display screen 12, and the game cards collected by the player are displayed on the second display screen 14, and the cards can be confirmed and operated by touching. A worm card is displayed on the second display screen.

FIG. 8 shows a schematic diagram of a display screen in the card viewer mode.

The card viewer is shown on the second display screen 14, and a slider bar 200 is provided on the lower side of the second display screen. When the card viewer presses the switch button 140, the card viewer switches whether to display either the musi card or the purpose card, and displays it in the type notation section 141 in the upper left. The number varies depending on the type, such as 83 musi cards and 62 deliberate cards. On the upper side of the slider bar, the center card (C1) is displayed in the center and the left card 1 (LC1) and the right card 1 (RC1) are displayed on the left and right, and the left card 2 (LC2) and the right card 2 (RC2) are displayed on the outer side. The On the first display screen 12, information on up to four cards related to the center card C 1 displayed on the second display screen 14 is displayed in the upper rectangular area 121. , Par), strength, name, number of acquisitions are displayed. Then, place the cursor (to make it a bold character) on one of the four displayed play cards, look at the button description 123 on the lower right side of the display screen, and press the X button to get detailed information below it. It is displayed in the lower rectangular area 122 located on the side. The button description 123 indicates that the B button is pressed to cancel and the A button is pressed to confirm.

  FIG. 9 shows the relationship between the slider bar and the card displayed in the card viewer.

  Each time a game card is played, either a musi card or a deliberate card can be obtained, and the obtained game card information includes the card ID, number, type, name, and freezing of the game card as shown in FIG. It is stored as acquired card information as item data of strength, technique. This is so that the sorting of the game cards can be done using the items of name, freezing, strength, (technique in the case of a work card), and number. All the second conditions for sorting are based on the card number.

  There are 62 musi cards and 80 works cards. The slider bar 200 is equally allocated for each number of sheets, displays the game cards acquired in the rearranged order, the game cards that have already been acquired are indicated by hatched portions, and the game cards that have not been acquired are translucent, etc. As you can see, I have not acquired it. A cursor 201 is displayed on the slider bar 200, and the cursor 201 indicates the width of five cards. Here, the center card C1, the left card 2 (LC2) and the right card 1 (RC1) are shown in the card viewer, and the other left card 1 (LC1) and right card 2 (RC2) are displayed. Is translucent. Cards corresponding to three of the center card C1, the left card 2 (LC2), and the right card 1 (RC1) of the width of the five cards indicated by the cursor 201 displayed on the slider bar 200 have been acquired. This is indicated by the hatched portion, and the two cards corresponding to the remaining left card 1 (LC1) and right card 2 (RC2) indicate that the card has not been acquired in a translucent state. In accordance with this, the image of the game card is displayed for the acquired game card, and the game card that has not been acquired is displayed in a translucent state. Here, the hatched portion of the card of the slider bar 200 is color-coded to distinguish the display of the play cards (goo, choki, par).

  When the player presses the operation button 20F, the sorting conditions are switched in the order of name, freezing, strength (in the case of a work card, technique), and number. All the second sort conditions are based on numbers. These sorts have a sort array table in the RAM 48 for each condition.

  When the player selects one of the above arrangements of the game cards, the display screen is changed over. Each time the arrangement state of the slider bar 200 changes in the order of arrangement, for example, when the sorting condition is in the order of strength, the slider bar 200 is arranged from the left of the slider bar 200 in the order of the card with the lowest strength. A numerical value representing the height is attached.

  In order to find a card that the player wants to input, the player can reach the target game card by performing the following operations after rearranging the cards in the order that is most easily searched.

  As a touch operation, when the area of the left card 2 (LC2) is touched once, the touched left card 2 (LC2) moves to the center card (C1) as a whole. If you keep touching, the position of the five cards will change one after another. This switching speed is relatively fast. Next, when the left card 1 (LC1) is touched once, the touched left card 1 (LC1) moves to the center card (C1) position as a whole. If you keep touching, the position of the five cards will change one after another. This switching speed is relatively slow.

  Similarly, when the light card is touched, the moving speed is fast in the light card 2 (RC2) and the whole moves in the direction of the center card, and the moving speed is slow in the light card 1.

  Whether the entire card moves while maintaining a relative interval and a new card moves from the outside of the display screen depends on whether the cursor 201 of the slider bar 200 indicates the next card. In FIG. 9, the next card is on the left and right adjacent to the cursor 201.

  In addition to this, the card list can be jump-displayed by directly clicking the slider bar with a touch pen. Further, the cursor 201 can be scrolled and displayed by directly tracing the slider bar 200 with a finger. Since the slide bar 200 indicates the positional relationship of the total number of cards, the head and the end of the slider bar are connected in a ring shape. If the left card 1 or 2 or the right card 1 or 2 is continuously touched, the card list It keeps spinning.

  As described above, the player rearranges the order of the game cards in the order that is easy to use, places a certain amount of hit with the slider bar, and closes the target card to see the game cards displayed on the screen. However, by touching the left card 1 or 2 or the right card 1 or 2 and moving the target card to the center card position, the card can be easily taken out.

  If the target card can be taken out to the center card, the method of using the card for the game will be described.

  In an arcade video game machine, barcodes are attached to both sides of an actual game card, and the player scans the game card with a barcode reader and reads the barcode. In this scanning operation, a simulated sound is generated by holding a game card in hand and sliding it onto a bar code reader. This feeling of operation has never existed in the past, and it has become an input method that can be said to be a pleasant feeling.

1) Double-click on a play card This is a case where the center card to be scanned is touched once, released from the card, and touched the center card again for more than 1 second again, and then it was scanned as a successful double-click. It is.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating the double-click scan.

  Click on the center card to be scanned (S101), determine whether 1 second has passed since this click (S102), and if a double-click (S102) in which the center card is clicked again within 1 second is entered, the scan is successful. (S104). If 1 second has elapsed since the first click in S102, the scan is canceled (S105).

2) Move the game card to the outside of the screen This is a scan when the center coordinate (Y coordinate) of the center card moves above the top side of the screen and is released.

  FIG. 11 shows a flowchart of scanning for moving a card out of the screen.

  The game card to be scanned is dragged to the center card position (S111). Next, the card is moved to the top of the screen while dragging (S112). Then, it is determined whether or not the card drag is finished (S113). If it is still dragging, the process returns to S112, and if the dragging is completed, it is determined whether or not the Y coordinate of the center of the dragged card has gone out of the screen (S114). In S114, it is a condition that the Y coordinate of the center of the card is negative, and if the condition is satisfied, the scan is successful (S115). If it is determined in S114 that the card is in the screen, the scan is canceled (S116).

3) Move the game card by a certain distance within a certain time. This is a scan by moving the card by a certain amount after touching the center card for more than 7 syncs (7/60 seconds) and releasing it. With a certain amount, the distance between two points of the coordinates before movement and the current coordinates is, for example, 80 dots.

  FIG. 12 shows a flow chart of scanning for moving a fixed distance within a fixed time.

  The game card to be scanned is dragged to the center card position (S121). Next, it is determined whether or not the card is being dragged (S122). If the card is being dragged, the card is moved (S123). In this case, the moving direction of the card is not limited and may be any direction. Next, the distance between them is calculated from the coordinates before 7 syncs (7/60 seconds) and the current coordinates, and the movement amount is obtained as the absolute value of the movement vector (S124). Then, it is determined whether or not the amount of movement exceeds 80 dots (S125), and if it exceeds, the scan is successful (S126). If the amount of movement is 80 dots or less in S125, the process returns to S122 to determine whether or not the card is being dragged (S122). (S127).

  FIG. 13 shows the movement of the screen when the scan is successful.

  When the center card is successfully scanned, the scan card S1 moves from the lower side of the first display screen 12 toward the upper side. The scan card that has reached the upper side moves to the right, and the card S2 is placed at a fixed position. Thereafter, the card S2 becomes a rotated image and becomes a card S3 showing the thickness direction, ready for scanning, and then the card S3 moves directly below, and the effect character 124 is displayed at the same time as the card S3 disappears from the lower side of the display screen 12. At the same time, a scanning sound is emitted from the speaker. As a result, the card S3 provides a scanning effect. Thereafter, the scanned card returns to the position of the original center card even if it comes down from the upper end of the second display screen 14.

  As described above, the state of scanning is effectively produced, and thereby, it is possible to obtain a sense of having actually scanned with a game card in hand.

FIG. 14 shows a display screen of the game start state.

  In the first display screen, the player has already selected the goo icon 1a from the left icon, and the opponent on the left has selected the choke icon 2b. On the second display screen 14, game cards scanned and input by the player are displayed. One play card on the upper side is a Musi card, and the lower three cards are deliberately cards.

  As described above, this application rotates the card clockwise and counterclockwise by touching the images of the cards arranged on the circumference on the screen with the touch sensor. Can be found. Further, by touching an item such as a card other than the center card other than the center card, the card or the like moves to the center of the screen and can be used as an execution target. In addition, when a predetermined time elapses without removing the touch pen from the touch panel as it is, the items are continuously circulated, and the user can select the target item while confirming. Further, the speed of continuous circulation increases as the distance from the card or item placed in the center increases, and conversely, the movement speed can be decreased as the distance from the center increases. On the game system, items with different classifications are placed as different groups on different slider bars, and can be replaced with the current slider bar by the user's switching operation. The slider bars are connected in an annular shape.

  The present invention has two independent screens, but when executing a single application, the items installed on the other second screen are compared to the first screen that is the center of the application. The player moves to the first display screen in an analog manner and inserts it into the first screen in an image manner, and directs the player to work effectively in the first screen. An immersive feeling is obtained.

  Next, Example 2 will be described. In this embodiment, for example, when used for employee management of a company, the attributes of each person (full-time employee, contract employee, temporary employee, part-time worker), employee number, name, date of birth, department code, hire date, leave date Data such as today's sunrise work hours, today's leave time, and scheduled vacation date are prepared for each employee, so that it is possible to easily confirm the current sunrise work status.
