The display control unit 12 draws an image corresponding to the image data supplied from the game control unit 11 in the frame buffer, and outputs a video signal corresponding to the drawn image to the monitor 3, whereby a predetermined signal is displayed on the monitor 3. Display an image. The audio output control unit 13 generates an audio reproduction signal corresponding to the audio reproduction data provided from the game control unit 11 and outputs the audio reproduction signal to the headphones 4 to reproduce predetermined audio (including music) from the headphones 4. Let

  An external storage device 20 is connected to the game control unit 11. As the external storage device 20, a storage medium that can hold the storage without power supply, such as an optical storage medium such as a hard disk, a flash SSD (Solid State Drive), or a DVDROM, is used.

  The external storage device 20 stores a game program 21 and game data 22. The game program 21 is a computer program necessary for executing a game, and includes various modules for realizing the functions according to the present invention. And the game control part 11 performs various initial settings required for execution of a game by running the operation program memorize | stored in the internal storage device. Following various initial settings, the game control unit 11 also sets an environment for executing a music game according to the game program 21 by reading the game program 21 from the external storage device 20 and executing it. The external storage device 20 also stores past data 23 including past game results, information set in past games, and the like. The past data 23 is updated as necessary, and is used in each process executed by the game control unit 11.

  The game control unit 11 performs a game process such as instructing the user to perform an operation in accordance with the reproduction of music (music) selected by the user, or generating a sound effect according to the user's operation. In addition, the game control unit 11 evaluates the user's operation and also executes processing such as game control according to the evaluation result. Furthermore, the game control unit 11 restricts the music that can be selected from the music that can be used in the game according to the user's symptom, or the options related to the difficulty level such as the difficulty level of the game evaluation and the performance frequency. A process for assisting the user in selecting a song or selecting a difficulty level is also executed.

  The game data 22 includes various data to be referred to when executing the game according to the game program 21. For example, the game data 22 includes music data 26, sound effect data 27, image data 28, and performance time data 29. The music data 26 is data necessary for reproducing and outputting music used in the game from the headphones 4. In FIG. 1, one type of music data 26 is shown, but actually, the user can select a music to be used from a plurality of music. A plurality of pieces of music data 26 are recorded in the game data 22 with information for identifying each music piece. The sound effect data 27 is data in which a plurality of types of sound effects to be output from the headphones 4 in response to a user operation are recorded in association with unique codes for each sound effect. The image data 28 is data for causing the monitor 3 to display a background image, various objects, icons, and the like in the game screen. The performance time data 29 is data defining the time when the user should perform the performance operation. The time at which the performance operation defined in the performance time data 29 is to be executed is used to instruct the performance operation during the game. A plurality of performance time data 29 having different difficulty levels may be prepared for one piece of music data.

  The game data 22 further includes parameter data 30 as correspondence information. The parameter data 30 is data in which parameters corresponding to the results of various inspections are defined. The parameters for each inspection result defined in the parameter data 30 are used for the user to select music that can be used in the game, to adjust the evaluation criteria, and the like. Details of the parameter data 30 will be described later.

  Next, an outline of a game executed in the rehabilitation support system 1 will be described. The rehabilitation support system 1 may be used for various types of rehabilitation. Here, an outline of a game when the rehabilitation support system 1 is used to recover the motor function of the upper limb will be described. The rehabilitation support system 1 can execute a game using music by requesting the user to strike the electronic drum 2 at an appropriate time according to the music and evaluating the operation to the electronic drum 2 corresponding to the request. It is configured as follows. Further, in the rehabilitation support system 1, the test result of the rehabilitation test is used to request the user to perform an appropriate operation in accordance with the symptoms of the rehabilitation target person. As the rehabilitation test, test results by various known evaluation methods may be used. As a well-known evaluation method, for example, the Brunnstrom stage (Br stage) widely used in the rehabilitation field for stroke in Japan, a simple upper limb function test (Simple Test for Evaluating Hand Function; STEF) for evaluating more functional movement, There is an evaluation method such as Functional Independence Measurement (FIM), Manual Function Test (MFT), or Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) widely used in the United States as a new upper limb motor function evaluation method.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the flow of the game executed by the rehabilitation support system 1. As shown in FIG. 3, first, in order to grasp the state of the user, the state of the user is input through the rehabilitation test result input screen 31 and the preliminary performance screen 35. Subsequently, a game according to the user's state is recommended by limiting selectable music pieces based on the input user's state. This recommendation is executed through the music selection screen 40, the evaluation difficulty level selection screen 45, and the performance frequency selection screen 50. After these settings, a game (rehabilitation) is started through the game screen 55. After the game is over, the game result is displayed through the play result display screen 60 and the graph screen 65. Thereby, the content of the rehabilitation implemented through the game is notified. Hereinafter, each screen will be described along the flow of the game.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the rehabilitation support system 1, the user first inputs the rehabilitation test result before starting the game. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a rehabilitation test result input screen for allowing the user to input a test result of the rehabilitation test. In the example of FIG. 4, FMA (Fugl-Meyer Assessment), WMFT, Motor Activity Log-14 (MAL-14) for evaluating the use state of the paralyzed side limb in daily life, and Modified Ashscale Scale (MAS) are evaluated. The results of rehabilitation tests based on these evaluation methods are used. In addition, AOU in FIG. 4 indicates frequency of use, QOM indicates good operation, and FAS indicates Function Ability Scale (qualitative evaluation of motion). As shown in FIG. 4, the rehabilitation inspection result input screen 31 includes an inspection result input area 31A. The inspection result input area 31A includes an inspection type input area KS and a detailed input area SR. Each input area KS, SR is divided into four areas so as to correspond to each type of rehabilitation test. In an area corresponding to each type of rehabilitation test in the detailed input area SR, an input field NR is provided so that details of each test result can be input. It is possible to provide a more effective game by inputting all types of test results shown in FIG. 4, but the input test results are only one type of test results. Even the game is executed.

  In the example of FIG. 4, the test result area KS is divided into four upper limbs FMA, WMFT, MAL-14, and MAS in order from the top. In the detailed input area SR, “25” is input to the input field NR corresponding to the test result of the upper limb FMA, and “1326.7” is input to the input field NR corresponding to “task execution time” among the test results of the WMFT. However, “27” is entered in the input field NR corresponding to the FAS. Similarly, “0.07” is entered in the input field NR corresponding to “AOU” and “0.14” is entered in the input field NR corresponding to “QOM” in the inspection results of MAL-14. Of these, “1+” is input to the input field NR corresponding to “wrist”, “2” is input to the input field NR corresponding to “hand”, and “2” is input to the input field NR corresponding to “mother finger”. ing.

  Note that the input of the test result to the rehabilitation test result input screen 31 does not have to be executed every time the game is started. When the rehabilitation inspection is executed, for example, when the rehabilitation inspection is executed every month, the input of the inspection result through the rehabilitation inspection result input screen 31 may be executed every month. In such a case, the test result input through the rehabilitation test result input screen 31 may be stored in, for example, the past data 23 of the external storage device 20 so that it can be used for executing the game. Thereby, the rehabilitation support system 1 can execute the game by using the test result in the past data 23 input before, even if the test result is not input every time the game is started.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the user further performs a preliminary performance for reflecting the present day's physical condition (symptoms) before the start of the game. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a preliminary performance screen for allowing the user to perform a preliminary performance. As shown in FIG. 5, the preliminary performance screen 35 includes an operation type instruction area SS for instructing a performance operation to be executed by the user, and an operation position display area SH. A virtual image KG corresponding to the electronic drum 2 is displayed in the operation position display area SH. Similar to the actual electronic drum 2, the virtual image KG is divided into six regions KGa to KGf. These six regions KGa to KGf correspond to the six regions 2Aa to 2Af of the operation unit 2A of the electronic drum 2, respectively. Each region KGa to KGf reflects an operation performed on the actual operation unit 2A. This reflection is realized by changing the color of the area corresponding to the area of the actual operation unit SA in which the operation is actually performed among the areas KGa to KGf. As a result, the virtual image KG notifies which region of the operation unit 2A the user has actually operated. In the example of FIG. 5, in the operation type instruction area SS, characters “Please strike” are displayed as instructions to the user. The user may perform an operation of hitting the electronic drum 2 as a preliminary performance according to this instruction on the preliminary performance screen 35. The operation of hitting the electronic drum 2 may be performed by hand. This is the same in the following.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the user executes selection of music to be used for rehabilitation before starting the game. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a music selection screen for allowing the user to select a music. As shown in FIG. 6, on the music selection screen 40, the names of the selectable music pieces are displayed, the level indicating the difficulty level for each music piece, and the high score acquired in the past for each music piece are displayed. . In addition, the high score is displayed by distinguishing between “normal” and “difficult”. “Normal” corresponds to “ordinary”, and “difficult” corresponds to “difficult”, as described later. As the level indicating the difficulty level of the music, “★” is used to express the difficulty level. The difficulty level is easier if “★” is less, and the difficulty level increases as “★” increases. The music selection screen 40 reflects the input result to the rehabilitation test result input screen 31. Specifically, the music of the difficulty level limited based on the test result of the rehabilitation test is displayed. That is, only the music pieces of the degree of difficulty (level) considered appropriate are displayed based on the user's symptoms. For this reason, the user does not have to worry about selecting a song that is too difficult for his / her symptoms.

  In the example of FIG. 6, 10 songs “Music A” to “Music J” are displayed as music names. “Song A” to “Song C” have one “★” as the difficulty level, and “Song D” to “Song G” have two “★”, that is, “★★” as the difficulty level. Three “★”, that is, “★★★” are displayed from the song H ”to the song I. That is, “Song A” to “Song C” are the easiest songs, and “Song H” to “Song I” displaying “★★★” are the most difficult songs. For this reason, for example, if a song with a difficulty level up to “★★★★★” is prepared, the level up to “★★★” is appropriate in consideration of the test result of the user's rehabilitation test. It can be understood that the music was judged to be difficult. The high score for “Song A” is “393 points” when the evaluation difficulty level is “Normal”, and “546 points” when the evaluation difficulty level is “Difficult”. The past high score results are displayed for each song.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the user can also select the evaluation difficulty level through the evaluation difficulty level selection screen 45. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of an evaluation difficulty level selection screen for allowing the user to select an evaluation difficulty level. As shown in FIG. 7, the evaluation difficulty level selection screen 45 has three options of “easy”, “normal”, and “difficult” as the evaluation difficulty level options. When “easy” is selected from these options, the evaluation standard for the operation of the electronic drum 2 by the user is easy, and when “difficult” is selected, the evaluation standard is difficult. On the other hand, when “normal” is selected, the evaluation standard is not changed from the standard state. The user selects an evaluation difficulty level that seems to be appropriate based on his / her condition and symptoms. Details of the evaluation criteria will be described later.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the user can also select the performance frequency through the performance frequency selection screen 50. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a performance frequency selection screen for allowing the user to select the frequency of playing the electronic drum 2. In the example of FIG. 8, the performance frequency selection screen 50 displays “pace once per beat”, “pace once every two beats”, and “pace once every four beats”. . On the performance frequency selection screen 50, the user selects one of these three options that will be played at a frequency that seems to be optimal for him. Among these choices, “pace once per beat” is the most frequent performance opportunity, and “pace once every four beats” is the least. In principle, the greater the number of performance opportunities, the shorter the performance interval, and the greater the difficulty level. However, this is not necessarily proportional to the performance opportunities. The performance frequency selection screen 50 also reflects the input result to the rehabilitation test result input screen 31. In the example of FIG. 8, only three options are prepared. This is a result of reflecting the result of the rehabilitation test and the result of the preliminary performance. Accordingly, for example, as a choice on the performance frequency selection screen 50, another frequency such as “pace twice per beat” or “pace once every three beats” may be prepared.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, when the various inputs and selections as described above are completed, a game start condition is established. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen executed by the rehabilitation support system 1. As shown in FIG. 9, like the preliminary performance screen 35 shown in FIG. 5, the game screen 55 includes an operation position display area SH, and a virtual image KG corresponding to the electronic drum 2 is also displayed there. ing. The function of the virtual image KG is common to the preliminary performance screen 35. In addition, the game screen 55 includes an operation guidance area AR in which a time when the user should perform the performance operation of the electronic drum 2 is guided, and an operation result display area KH in which an evaluation result of the user's performance operation is displayed. ing.

  The operation guidance area AR includes a period guidance area AR1 that guides a performance cycle to be operated and a time arrival guidance area AR2 that guides the relationship between the performance period and the current time. A fixed number of indicator signs SY indicating beats are displayed at predetermined intervals in the periodic guide area AR1. One of a certain number of instruction indicators SY is displayed as a specific instruction indicator TY for instructing a performance time so as to be distinguishable from other instruction indicators SY. Further, when “pace once every four beats” is selected on the performance frequency selection screen 50, one of the four indicator signs SY is selected when “pace twice per beat” is selected. Are two so that each of the four indicator signs SY includes one indicator mark SY, and when “pace once per beat” is selected, all four indicator signs SY are respectively It is distinguished as a specific indication mark TY.

  In the time arrival guidance area AR2, a predetermined number of instruction signs SY are displayed at predetermined intervals so as to correspond to the instruction signs in the periodic guidance area AR1. However, the instruction sign SY in the time arrival guidance area AR2 does not include the specific instruction sign TY before the performance operation by the user. That is, before the performance operation by the user is performed, the same number of instruction signs SY (including specific instruction signs TY. The same applies hereinafter unless otherwise distinguished) as the periodic guidance area AR1 at the same interval and in the same manner. It is displayed in AR2. Then, each instruction sign SY in the time arrival guidance area AR2 is changed to a specific instruction sign TY when an appropriate performance operation is performed. Furthermore, a reference sign KY that functions as a time reference indicating the current time is also displayed in the time arrival guidance area AR2. The reference sign KY moves on a predetermined route (not shown) as time passes. The predetermined route extends in a straight line so as to follow each indication sign SY.

  In the example of FIG. 9, the symbol “★” is used as the specific instruction indicator TY, and the symbol “☆” is used as the other instruction indicator SY so as to be distinguishable from “★”. FIG. 9 illustrates a case where “once every four beats” is selected on the performance frequency selection screen 50. For this reason, in this example, three “☆” and one “★” are displayed in the periodic guide area AR1 so that one of the four indicator signs SY is distinguished from the other as the specific instruction indicator TY. Has been.

  In the example of FIG. 9, an arrow-shaped figure is used as the reference sign KY in the time arrival guidance area AR2, and the predetermined route is arranged below the four instruction signs SY. The reference sign KY moves from the left to the right as time elapses below the four indicator signs SY, with the position at the end of the arrow as the current time. That is, when the time corresponding to the left beat of the music has arrived, the arrowhead of the reference sign KY is located below the leftmost “☆” and the time corresponding to the next beat has arrived. Is located below the second "☆" from the left, and when the time corresponding to the next beat has arrived, it moves below the third "☆" from the left. Guide the performance time. In the example of FIG. 9, in the periodic guide area AR1, the third instruction sign SY from the left is guided as “★” indicating the specific instruction sign TY, and the third from the left of the corresponding time arrival guidance area AR2 A state after an appropriate operation is performed on the indication sign SY is shown. For this reason, in the example of FIG. 9, the third from the left among “☆” displayed in the time arrival guidance area AR <b> 2 is changed to “★” indicating the specific instruction sign TY. Further, the beat at the left end is reused as the beat following the right end beat. That is, when the time corresponding to the next beat on the right end has arrived, the reference sign KY repeats below the instruction sign SY so that the tip of the arrow of the reference sign KY is positioned below the “☆” on the left end again. Moving.

  As an appropriate operation, in accordance with the coincidence between the position of the reference sign KY guided in the time arrival guidance area AR2 and the position of the indication sign SY corresponding to the specific indication sign TY in the periodic guidance area AR1, the user is notified by An operation of hitting the drum 2 is required. In the example of FIG. 9, “★” indicating the specific instruction mark TY is located third from the left in the periodic guide area AR1. For this reason, the user is required to perform an operation of hitting the electronic drum 2 in accordance with the coincidence of the reference sign KY guided in the time arrival guidance area AR2 and the third indication sign SY from the left. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, when the tip of the arrow of the reference sign KY is positioned below the third “☆” from the left, the user is required to perform a performance operation of hitting the electronic drum 2. When a performance operation in which the user strikes the electronic drum 2 is executed, a time difference between the time when the arrow mark of the reference sign KY is positioned below the instruction sign SY and the time when the user performs the performance operation is performed. Detected. If the deviation time is within a certain evaluation range (changes according to the difficulty selected on the evaluation difficulty selection screen 45), the deviation is evaluated, and the indication sign SY in the time arrival guidance area AR2 is the specific indication sign. It changes to “★” indicating SY, and a score is obtained. In addition, sound effects corresponding to the performance operation are reproduced from the headphones 4.

  In the operation result display area KH, the score obtained by the user in the current performance operation and the total score which is the total of the scores obtained during one music reproduction are displayed. Note that the score may be set such that the higher the score is, the smaller the above-described shift time is. In addition, the virtual image KG notifies which region of the operation unit 2A of the electronic drum 2 the operation has been performed. For this reason, the operation position of the electronic drum 2 may be included in the performance operation evaluation target such that a high score is given when the center position area 2Af located at the center of the operation unit 2A is operated. As described above, when the performance operation of the electronic drum 2 is included in the evaluation object, the game screen 55 displays the operation position of the electronic drum 2 by displaying an image corresponding to the electronic drum 2 also in the operation guide area AR. It may be configured to instruct the user.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, after the end of the game, the play result is guided. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a play result display screen displayed after the game is over. As shown in FIG. 10, the play result display screen 60 includes “number of hits this time”, “number of successes”, “number of hits at the center”, “number of hits at the center”, “today's play time”, “ Various information such as items for evaluating the contents of rehabilitation such as “the number of hits today” and “scores”, and items for motivating game play are included. In the example of FIG. 10, “1 time” is displayed as “the number of times this was hit”. This means that the number of performance operations executed in the current game is one. Similarly, in the example of FIG. 10, “0 times” is displayed as “the number of successes”, “the number of times the center has been hit”, and “the number of times the center has been hit”. This is because, in order, the number of times the above-described deviation time is within a certain range, the number of times the center position area 2Af of the operation unit 2A of the electronic drum 2 is struck without considering the time, and the evaluation range where the deviation time is constant. This means that the number of times the inner and hit positions were the center position area 2Af was zero. In the example of FIG. 10, “Today's play time” is displayed as “2 minutes and 8 seconds”, and “Today's number of hits” is displayed as “415 times”. This means that the total play time of the day today is 2 minutes and 8 seconds, and that the number of times the electronic drum 2 is struck in the day is 415 times in order. Furthermore, in the example of FIG. 10, “0 points” is displayed as “number of points”. This means that the score obtained in this play is 0 points.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, there is a screen for guiding the play results for each day including the past. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a graph screen for guiding the daily play results. As shown in FIG. 11, the graph screen 65 shows the number of times the electronic drum 2 has been struck (the cumulative number of times of the target day. That is, the number of times corresponding to “the number of times the struck today” on the play result display screen 60). A graph is displayed for each day. The vertical axis TJ of the graph screen 65 indicates the number of times the electronic drum 2 has been hit, and the horizontal axis YJ indicates the date. In the example of FIG. 11, the result “100” is displayed on the date “825”. The date “825” means August 25, and the number “100” means that the cumulative number of times the electronic drum 2 has been hit on that day is 100 times. Similarly, in the example of FIG. 11, the number “300” for the date “826”, the number “65” for the date “827”, the number “100” for the date “830”, and the number “300” for the date “831”. "Is displayed respectively. The number of times is displayed as a bar gram and a line gram for each date. The past play result may be stored as the past data 23 in the external storage device 20 and the stored information may be used for the graph screen 65, for example. The same applies to the information related to the total on the play result display screen 60.

  Next, the details of the parameter data 30 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of the contents of the parameter data 30. As shown in FIG. 12, in the parameter data 30, items corresponding to each examination result (upper limb FMA, WMFT, MAL-14, MAS) and values of each parameter corresponding to the examination result are associated with each other. It is configured as a set of a plurality of described records (corresponding information). The value of each inspection result and the value of each parameter are described by separating them with commas.

  In the example of FIG. 12, “25” is described as the test result of the upper limb FMA, and “1326.7” and “27” are described as the test result of the WMFT. The WMFT inspection results correspond to the task execution time and the FAS result in order. That is, in the example of FIG. 12, “1326.7” is described as the task execution time and “27” is described as the FAS in the WMFT inspection results. Further, the inspection results of MAL-14 describe “0.07” as AOU and “0.14” as QOM in the order of AOU and QOM. Similarly, the MAS results are described in the order of wrist, finger, and thumb as “1+” as the wrist, “2” as the finger, and “2” as the thumb. Then, “r”, “s0”, “Tm”, and “N0” are sequentially described as parameters associated with these inspection results, that is, parameters obtained from these inspection results. For each parameter, “N0” is a difficulty level as an evaluation threshold value for evaluating the timing when “Tm” is hit as a threshold value of the hit strength as “s0” as a ratio value of a hit strength as “r”. Each is used as a value indicating. That is, the parameters are described in the order of the value r of the hit strength ratio, the threshold value t0 of the hit strength, the evaluation threshold value Tm for evaluating the hitting time, and the value N0 indicating the difficulty level. In addition, the value of each parameter is obtained based on the experimental result performed for the user corresponding to each test result.

  Next, an outline of processing executed by the game control unit 11 in the rehabilitation support system 1 will be described. The game control unit 11 reproduces music or the like from the headphones 4 by reading the music data 26 or the like and outputting it to the audio output control unit 13 according to a predetermined processing routine. Thereby, the control unit 5 functions as a music reproducing means. The game control unit 11 also refers to the rehabilitation test result input screen 31, the preliminary performance screen 35, the music selection screen 40, the evaluation difficulty level selection screen 45, the performance frequency selection screen 50, referring to the image data 28 and the like according to each routine. By generating image data necessary for drawing on various screens such as the game screen 55 or the play result display screen 60 and the graph screen 6 and outputting them to the display control unit 12, various screens and the like are displayed on the monitor 3. . The display of each screen may be realized by a known technique. Hereinafter, a part of the processing routine executed by the game control unit 11 will be described.

  The game control unit 11 executes a process for causing the monitor 3 to display the music selection screen 40 in which the inspection result of the rehabilitation inspection is reflected. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of a music recommendation process routine executed by the game control unit 11. The routine in FIG. 13 is started based on a user instruction to start a game, such as selection of a command for starting the game, for example. When the routine of FIG. 13 is started, the game control unit 11 first acquires the results of various tests input through the rehabilitation test result input screen 31 in step S1. In subsequent step S <b> 2, the game control unit 11 acquires a parameter corresponding to the inspection result acquired from the inspection result acquired in step S <b> 1 and the parameter data 30. In the next step S3, the game control unit 11 determines the difficulty level of the music that can be played by the user based on the acquired parameters. The determination of the difficulty level of the music is executed as follows, for example.

  First, the game control unit 11 calculates a performance cycle N for each music piece (the performance cycle N may be acquired based on information prepared in advance). In calculating the total number of performance operations, the speed of music (cycle of one beat) and the performance frequency are used. A preset standard frequency is used as the performance frequency. Therefore, for example, when “pace once every two beats” is used as the standard frequency and the speed of the music is 60 bpm, an opportunity to perform once every two seconds comes. In this case, “2” is calculated as the value of the performance period N. On the other hand, when the speed of the music is the same and “one pace every four beats” is used as the standard frequency, a performance opportunity comes once every four seconds. 4 ″ is calculated. Accordingly, the smaller the value of the performance period N, the higher the difficulty level. Therefore, the performance period N is also used as information corresponding to the difficulty level of the music. Next, the value of the performance period N calculated (or obtained) is compared with the value N0 indicating the difficulty level among the parameters acquired in step S21. When the comparison result is a performance cycle N <a value N0 indicating the difficulty level (that is, a musical piece having a performance cycle N smaller than the value N0 indicating the difficulty level and more difficult than the music corresponding to the value N0 indicating the difficulty level) ), It is determined that the music is too difficult. On the other hand, if the comparison result between the performance period N and the value N0 indicating the difficulty level is other than the performance period N <the value N0 indicating the difficulty level, the game control unit 11 determines that the music has an appropriate difficulty level. The game control unit 11 determines the degree of difficulty of the music in this way, and determines the music having an appropriate difficulty level.

  In the next step S4, the game control unit 11 outputs to the display control unit 12 so that the music selection screen 40 on which only the music of the difficulty level determined in step S3 can be selected is displayed on the monitor 3. Control. Thereby, the music selection screen 40 on which only the music of the appropriate difficulty level is displayed on the monitor 3 among all the music. The game control part 11 complete | finishes this routine, after finishing the process of step S4. In this way, the range of games that can be used is limited by controlling the display so that the songs included in the song selection screen 40 are only those having an appropriate difficulty level corresponding to the rehabilitation test result.

  Note that the game control unit 11 may be configured to execute the same restriction on each selection on the evaluation difficulty level selection screen 45 and the performance frequency selection screen 50. That is, the game control part 11 may restrict | limit the range of the game which a user can execute including the music selection, evaluation difficulty selection, and performance frequency selection using the test result of a rehabilitation test.

  Moreover, the game control part 11 also performs the process for reflecting the test result of a rehabilitation test | inspection in the performance operation of the user in a game. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of an evaluation range determination processing routine executed by the game control unit 11. The routine in FIG. 14 may be executed each time input to the rehabilitation test result input screen 31 is completed, for example. When the routine of FIG. 14 is started, the game control unit 11 first acquires the results of various tests input through the rehabilitation test result input screen 31 in step S31. In subsequent step S <b> 32, the game control unit 11 acquires a parameter corresponding to the inspection result acquired from the inspection result acquired in step S <b> 31 and the parameter data 30. As this parameter, for example, an evaluation threshold value Tm is acquired. In the next step S33, the game control unit 11 determines the evaluation threshold Tm acquired in step S32 as the evaluation range. The evaluation range determined by this routine is used as an evaluation reference for the performance operation of the user during the game.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of the relationship between the beat timing and the performance operation evaluation range. As shown in FIG. 15, the evaluation range used as an evaluation criterion during the game is set within a predetermined range so that the time of the beat in the music is centered. As the predetermined range, the evaluation range determined by the routine of FIG. 14, that is, the evaluation threshold value Tm is used. As an example of the evaluation threshold Tm, a value obtained by dividing the performance period N by a predetermined numerical value is used. In the example of FIG. 15, a case where a value of N / 2 obtained by dividing the performance period N by a predetermined numerical value 2 is acquired as the evaluation threshold value Tm. In this case, as shown in FIG. 15, the evaluation threshold value Tm is used as the evaluation range determined by the routine of FIG. 14, and a period corresponding to N / 2 is set as the evaluation range. And the performance operation performed within this evaluation range is evaluated, and the performance operation performed outside the evaluation range is not evaluated. That is, no score is added even if a performance operation is executed outside the evaluation range. In this way, the rehabilitation test result is reflected in the performance operation during the game. Note that the evaluation range is also adjusted by setting the evaluation difficulty level selection screen 45. For example, when “difficult” is selected on the evaluation difficulty selection screen 45, the evaluation range is adjusted to be smaller than the evaluation threshold Tm, and when “easy” is selected, the evaluation threshold Tm is selected. The evaluation range is adjusted so that Thereby, the result of the rehabilitation test is reflected and the user's willingness is also taken into consideration.

  On the other hand, the game control unit 11 also executes a process of adjusting the evaluation reference in order to reflect the result of the preliminary performance in the evaluation of the game. FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of an evaluation strength determination processing routine executed by the game control unit 11. The routine of FIG. 16 should just be started based on the process accompanying a game start, for example after the predetermined process before a game start. When the routine of FIG. 16 is started, the game control unit 11 first obtains the result of the preliminary performance input through the preliminary performance screen 35 in step S21. As a result of the preliminary performance, for example, the input strength of the preliminary performance operation (strength of hitting the electronic drum 2) is acquired (if there are multiple preliminary performance operation inputs, the average value thereof is calculated. ). In subsequent step S <b> 22, the game control unit 11 acquires parameters corresponding to the test results from the parameter data 30 using the results of various tests input through the rehabilitation test result input screen 31. As this parameter, for example, the value r of the hit strength ratio and the threshold value s0 of the hit strength are acquired. In the next step S13, the game control unit 11 determines the evaluation strength for evaluating the performance operation performed on the electronic drum 2 by the user during the game, and ends the current routine. The determination of the evaluation strength is executed as follows, for example.

  First, the game control unit 11 integrates the strength of the preliminary performance acquired in step 21 and the ratio r of the strength of hitting among the parameters acquired in step S22 to obtain a reference value of strength. s is calculated. For example, a value such as “60%” is used as the strength ratio value r. In this case, 0.6 is added to the calculated strength value of the performance operation. Further, the game control unit 11 compares the calculated strength reference value s with the hitting strength threshold value s0 among the acquired parameters. If the comparison result is the strength reference value s> the tapping strength threshold value s0, the evaluation strength is determined so that the tapping strength threshold value s0 is used as the strength reference value s, and otherwise. Determines the evaluation strength so that the strength reference value s obtained by calculation is used as it is. The determined evaluation strength is used to evaluate the strength of the performance operation of the user during the game, for example, if the performance operation is not executed with a strength greater than the determined evaluation strength, the performance operation is not evaluated. Used.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, rehabilitation is performed through a game using music. For this reason, since the interest property of a game can be added to rehabilitation, the monotony of rehabilitation can be eliminated. Thereby, continuation of rehabilitation at home can be promoted. In addition, the game uses the rehabilitation test result through the rehabilitation test result input screen 31 and recommends the use of music that is considered appropriate by the user. Thereby, execution of more suitable rehabilitation can be promoted. Furthermore, through the preliminary performance before the game starts, the symptom of the day can be reflected in the game. For this reason, more appropriate rehabilitation adapted to daily symptoms can be promoted. In addition, the user can fine-tune items related to rehabilitation such as evaluation difficulty and performance pace. For this reason, the difficulty level of a game, ie, the difficulty level of rehabilitation, can be changed according to daily symptoms and improvement. Thereby, the monotonicity of rehabilitation can be eliminated. Further, in normal rehabilitation, it is difficult for a doctor or the like to grasp daily rehabilitation contents. However, according to this aspect, since the rehabilitation content is displayed as a game play result, the rehabilitation content can be easily grasped. By reporting this result to a doctor or the like, further appropriate rehabilitation can be promoted. Furthermore, if these rehabilitation contents can be referred to by an external doctor or the like through a network such as the Internet, it is possible to report early, which is more effective.

  In the above embodiment, the external storage device 20 functions as music data storage means, information storage means, and past result storage means. Further, the control unit 5 functions as information guidance means, game operation evaluation means, inspection result input instruction means, range restriction means, preliminary operation instruction means, and preliminary operation evaluation means through the game control unit 11. In addition, when the control unit 5 displays the play result display screen 60 and the graph screen 65 through the game control unit 11 and the display control unit 12, the control unit 5 also functions as an evaluation result notification unit and a past result notification unit.

  This invention is not limited to the above-mentioned form, It can implement with a suitable form. In the above embodiment, the number of instruction signs SY displayed on the game screen 55 for time guidance is four, but the number is not limited to four. An arbitrary number of instruction signs may be displayed on the game screen. Further, in the above-described form, the time when the performance operation should be performed is guided through the game screen 55, but the present invention is not limited to such a form. For example, the game screen may not include guidance regarding the performance time. In this case, for example, the game may be configured to request and evaluate a performance operation with a frequency designated in advance (for example, a pace once every two beats) on the game screen. That is, the information guide means is not limited to a form in which the timing of the performance operation is guided through the game screen, and may be configured to guide the timing of the performance operation through another screen such as a performance frequency selection screen. Further, for example, the time when the performance should be performed may be guided through the sound of an instrument sound (for example, a triangle sound that is reproduced according to the beat cycle) that is reproduced at intervals corresponding to beats, apart from the music. .

  Similarly, in the above-described embodiment, the input of the rehabilitation test result is instructed through the rehabilitation test result input screen 31 and the input of the preliminary performance is performed through the preliminary performance screen 35, respectively. It is not limited to. For example, any of these instructions may be given through voice. Similarly, an evaluation result at the end of the game or a past evaluation result may be notified through voice. In these cases, a dedicated input screen or the like may be omitted. Further, in the case where the above-mentioned performance time is guided through voice or such various instructions are executed through voice, an output device such as a voice output device is used instead of a monitor as an output device that outputs various instructions. An output device may be used.

  Further, in the above-described form, only the hitting operation is evaluated on the preliminary performance screen 35, but the present invention is not limited to such a form. For example, the preliminary performance screen 35 may be configured to guide the time when the preliminary performance operation should be performed, and the game control unit 11 may be configured to evaluate the timing of the performance operation during the preliminary performance. Therefore, the evaluation result of the preliminary performance may be used other than the adjustment of the predetermined evaluation standard. For example, if the performance operation is delayed from the normal performance as a result of the preliminary performance, only the music easier than the normal difficulty level is recommended as an option. In consideration of evaluation, it may be configured to determine the difficulty level of playable music and the like and to limit the game range. That is, the evaluation result of the preliminary performance may be used for determining the difficulty level of the game and limiting the game range.

  In the above-described form, the latest play result and the past play result are merely used for notification of the result, but may be used for determining the difficulty level of the game. For example, when it is determined that a game with a difficulty level that is easier (or difficult) than the recommended difficulty level is more suitable than the recommended difficulty level based on the past two play results, the difficulty level of the game and the game range Determination, adjustment of evaluation criteria, or the like may be performed. Such a determination may be performed using a criterion based on an experimental result prepared in advance.

  In the above-described embodiment, the electronic drum 2 is used as an input device corresponding to a musical instrument. However, various input devices such as a guitar imitation or a simple controller on a stick may be used as the input device. . In the above-described form, the input device called the electronic drum 2 capable of detecting the user's input operation is used as the operation detection means, but the operation detection means is not limited to such a form. For example, the operation detection unit may be configured to detect a user's operation itself through a detection unit such as a camera and to input a detection result. That is, the operation detection means may be one in which a controller or the like as an input device is omitted.

  In the above-described embodiment, the timing of performance operation is guided and the timing and strength are evaluated, but the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. For example, the information guidance means guides the performance operation itself to be executed (for example, the operation itself such as raising the right hand, lowering the left hand) or the operation execution target among a plurality of operation targets through the game screen. It may be configured. In this case, the game operation evaluation means may be configured to evaluate these performance operations or operation objects. That is, the information guide means may guide information corresponding to the evaluation criteria of the game operation evaluation means. Therefore, the game executed in the rehabilitation support system is not limited to a game using music. For example, the game executed in the rehabilitation support system may be a game that moves the body such as a flag raising game or a dance game.

  In the above-described form, parameter data 30 including a set of records is used as the correspondence information. However, the correspondence information is not limited to such a form. For example, a mathematical formula or the like that can calculate information related to the difficulty level of the game based on information related to the inspection result may be used as the correspondence information.

  In the above-described embodiment, the range limiting unit limits the range of games that can be played by the user by limiting items such as selectable music types, evaluation difficulty levels, and performance frequencies. It is not limited to such a form. For example, the range limiting means may limit game development conditions such as options prepared during the game and a stage that can be progressed.

  Moreover, in the above-mentioned form, the game operation evaluation means adjusts the size of the evaluation range using the result of the preliminary performance, but it is not limited to such a form. For example, in the above-described form, as shown in FIG. 15, the center of the predetermined evaluation range is the performance time, but this center is shifted, that is, the evaluation range is greatly expanded to a range later than the performance time. In addition, the game operation evaluation means may perform the adjustment (so that it is positioned on the right side with respect to the beat time from the position shown in FIG. 15). Or, conversely, the game operation evaluation means may perform the adjustment so that it spreads widely in a range earlier than the performance time (so that it is located on the left side with respect to the beat time from the position shown in FIG. 15). .

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, as the various parameters, the value r of the hit strength ratio, the threshold t0 of the hit strength, the evaluation threshold Tm for evaluating the hitting time, and the value N0 indicating the difficulty level are exemplified. The parameters are not limited to information related to the difficulty level of these games. For example, various parameters such as a parameter corresponding to information related to the number of executions of the performance operation, a parameter corresponding to information related to the performance frequency, a parameter corresponding to information related to the performance cycle, and the like are information for limiting the range of other various games. Corresponding parameters may be used. Moreover, it is not limited to the form in which all parameters are used. In this case, for example, the range of the game may be limited based on only the number of performance operations to be executed and the performance cycle, regardless of the difficulty level of the game. As described above, the inspection information and information for limiting the range of various games may be associated as the correspondence information. Furthermore, a server or the like connected through a network may function as the external storage device of the present invention.

  In the above embodiment, the test results input through the rehabilitation test result input screen 31 are acquired for each routine in the routines of FIGS. 13, 14, and 16, and the parameters are acquired for each routine based on the test results. However, each routine is not limited to such a form. For example, another routine for acquiring the inspection result and acquiring the parameter based on the inspection result and the parameter data is provided, and the routines of FIG. 13, FIG. 14, and FIG. The processing may be executed using the parameters. Further, the parameters acquired in this different routine may be stored as past data, for example, in an external storage device or the like so that they can be used in subsequent games. In this case, since another routine for acquiring the parameters does not need to be executed every time the game starts, for example, every time a rehabilitation inspection is executed and the input content of the inspection result is updated (for example, every month) It is only necessary to be configured so as to be executed. Similarly, information depending on the result of the rehabilitation test such as information for limiting the game range such as determination of the difficulty level of the game in the routine of FIG. 13 or information on the evaluation range determined in the routine of FIG. It may be configured to be stored in an external storage device or the like. In this case, each routine executed by the game control unit 11 may be configured to use information stored in past data such as an external storage device in subsequent processing. Furthermore, the result of the preliminary performance may be stored in, for example, an external storage device as past data, and the stored result of the preliminary performance may be used in the next and subsequent routines. In this case, it is possible to omit the execution of the preliminary performance every time the game is started.
