Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
<First Embodiment>
First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the game apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment. The game device 100 is a terminal on which a user plays a game. For example, the game device 100 is an arcade game machine, an arcade game machine, a mobile phone terminal such as a smartphone, or a computer device such as a PC (Personal Computer), a tablet PC, or a game machine. . The game apparatus 100 includes a touch panel 110 including a display unit 101 and an input unit 102, an audio output unit 103, a storage unit 120, and a control unit 130.

The display unit 101 is a display device having a screen for displaying information such as images and characters.
The input unit 102 is an input device that generates an input signal in accordance with a user operation. For example, a keyboard, a button, a pointing device such as a mouse, a touch panel, or the like can be applied to the input unit 102. In the present embodiment, an example in which the display unit 101 and the input unit 102 are integrated and a touch panel 110 operated by a user is applied will be described. The operation method of the touch panel 110 may be any of a resistance film method, a surface acoustic wave method, an infrared method, an electromagnetic induction method, a capacitance method, and the like. When a keyboard is used as the input unit 102, a predetermined key on the keyboard is assigned to a predetermined operation input, and the input is accepted when it is detected that the key is operated. When a button is used for the input unit 102, one or a plurality of buttons corresponding to operations necessary for the game are provided, and an input is accepted by detecting the pressing of the button. When a pointing device is used for the input unit 102, an input is received by appropriately moving a cursor displayed on the display unit 101 and performing a click operation or the like with the pointing device.
The audio output unit 103 is a speaker that outputs audio.

  Here, an outline of a game provided by the game apparatus 100 in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen displayed on the screen of the touch panel 110. The game provided by the game device 100 in the present embodiment is a timing game in which success / failure determination is performed according to a predetermined operation input from the user at a timing in accordance with an object that operates in the screen as the music progresses. In this timing game, the game apparatus 100 displays the reference index at a predetermined position on the screen, displays the surrounding object surrounding the reference index, and contracts the surrounding object toward the reference index. Then, the game apparatus 100 receives an input of a predetermined operation from the user, and determines success or failure based on the operation timing at which the input is received and the arrival timing at which the surrounding object that contracts toward the reference index reaches the reference index. I do. If the success / failure determination is successful, the user is rewarded. For example, the reward is a score, but the reward may be any item in the game. In the present embodiment, the predetermined operation refers to an operation of touching the touch panel (hereinafter referred to as “touch operation”).

  In the example of this figure, the reference index p4 is displayed at the center position of the rectangular screen extending in the horizontal direction, and the reference index p1, the reference index p2, the reference index p3, The reference index p of the index p5, the reference index p6, and the reference index p7 is displayed. The reference indicators displayed at these seven positions may be always displayed on the screen during the game, but are not initially displayed, but a predetermined time before the arrival timing that the user should operate in the music ( It may be displayed from the appearance timing of a predetermined number of bars or a predetermined number of beats (for example, two bars before), and disappear when the arrival timing elapses. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the reference index is not initially displayed but is displayed from the appearance timing before a predetermined time before the arrival timing, and is erased when the arrival timing elapses.

  The game apparatus 100 sets the surrounding object c surrounding such a reference index (for example, the reference index p3) a predetermined time before the arrival timing (a predetermined number of bars or a predetermined number of beats before, for example, two bars). It is displayed from the appearance timing, the surrounding object c is shrunk toward the reference index p3, and when the reference index p3 is reached, the surrounding object c is deleted. 3, 4, and 5 are diagrams illustrating how the surrounding object illustrated in FIG. 2 contracts toward the reference index. Here, an example in which the surrounding object c is circular is shown. The appearance timing of the surrounding object c may be the same as or different from the appearance timing of the reference index. The surrounding object c may be contracted toward the reference index p3 while gradually accelerating, or may be contracted at a constant speed.

  In the present embodiment, the game apparatus 100 displays the surrounding objects at a plurality of timings according to the rhythm and inflection of the music during the game period from the start to the end of the music playback, and the determination results at the respective timings The score based on is calculated. At this time, for example, the game can be cleared based on individual determination results and scores for each timing, and a clear gauge g serving as an index for clearing the game can be displayed on the screen. For example, the clear gauge g is displayed so that the gauge moves up and down based on the determination result of each timing, and the game can be cleared when the gauge is equal to or greater than a predetermined value at the end of the game. In addition, when success is found in the determination result, a special score may be added based on the number of consecutive successes. Such a continuous number may be displayed on the screen as a combo. In the example of this figure, the number “74” which is such a continuous number is displayed as a combo value above the reference index p4.

  In this way, the game apparatus 100 can guide the timing at which the user should input a predetermined operation based on the timing at which the surrounding object c that contracts reaches the reference index p3. Thereby, it is possible to provide new effects and effects for notifying the user of the timing to be operated, and to improve the game performance.

  Moreover, according to this, the timing game which utilized the wide area | region in the screen dynamically can be provided, and game property can be improved. That is, in the conventional timing game, for example, the object moves from the upper side toward the linear reference line extending left and right in the lower part of the screen, and the user operates the timing when the object reaches the reference line. There is something that tells you when to do it. In such a timing game, the user's line of sight is played while being mainly fixed near the reference line. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, since the reference index appears at a plurality of positions on the screen, the user moves the line of sight to the entire area of the screen. For this reason, more dynamic screen confirmation and operation are required, and game performance can be improved.

Further, since the user's line of sight can be scattered throughout the screen in this way, for example, when a video such as music PV (promotion video, music video) or advertisement is played on the background of the screen, the entire video is displayed to the user. Can be shown.
The configuration of the game apparatus 100 that provides such a game will be described in detail below.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the storage unit 120 is configured using a recording medium such as a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), a hard disk drive (HDD), or a combination thereof, and each unit included in the game device 100. Various programs and various information for controlling the program are stored. The storage unit 120 includes a music data storage unit 121 and a sequence data storage unit 122.

The music data storage unit 121 stores music data to be played.
The sequence data storage unit 122 stores sequence data describing the arrival timing and the reference index at which the user should input an operation as the music progresses. Here, details of the sequence data will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the contents of the sequence data b. As shown in this figure, the sequence data b includes condition definition information b1 and operation sequence information b2. In the condition definition information b1, information specifying various conditions for executing a game such as a song ID for identifying a song, a music tempo, a beat, a track, and a song length is described.

In the operation sequence information b2, the reference index for performing the touch operation is described in association with the arrival timing that is the time in the music. The operation sequence information b2 includes surrounding object information b3 used to display the surrounding object on the screen.
The surrounding object information b3 includes, for each surrounding object that appears in the music, arrival timing at which the surrounding object reaches the reference index, and reference index identification information for identifying the reference index. The surrounding object information b3 is configured as a set of a plurality of records in which these pieces of information are associated with each other. In the example of the figure, each information is described in the order of arrival timing and reference index identification information from the left.

  The arrival timing is described by dividing a bar number in the music, the number of beats, and a value indicating the time of the beat with commas. The time during a beat is the elapsed time from the beginning of one beat, and is expressed by the number of units from the beginning by equally dividing the length of one beat into n unit times. For example, if n = 96, the fourth beat of the first measure of the music, and the time when 1/8 has passed from the beginning of the beat is designated as the reference time, describe as “01, 4, 012”. Is done.

  The reference index identification information is information for identifying a reference index for causing the surrounding object to reach the corresponding arrival timing among the reference indices displayed at a plurality of positions on the screen. For example, reference indices at seven positions are identified by information such as p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, p6, and p7, respectively. In this example, p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, p6, and p7, which are reference index identification information, correspond to the reference index codes shown in FIG. 2, and are information indicating predetermined positions of the respective reference indices. Is stored in advance. The predetermined position of the reference index can be expressed, for example, by a coordinate value between an X coordinate and a Y coordinate with respect to a lower left corner point on a rectangular screen. The output control unit 132 can display the reference index at the predetermined position by referring to such reference index identification information and information indicating the predetermined position corresponding thereto.

  The control unit 130 includes an information processing device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that functions as a control center of the game apparatus 100, and controls each unit included in the game apparatus 100. The control unit 130 includes a game control unit 131. The game control unit 131 is configured by reading a game program stored in advance in the storage unit 120. The game control unit 131 includes an output control unit 132, a reception unit 133, and a determination unit 134.

  The output control unit 132 controls audio output to the audio output unit 103 and image output to the touch panel 110. For example, when a music piece to be played by the user is selected by the user, the output control unit 132 reads out music data of the selected music piece from the music data storage unit 121, outputs it to the audio output unit 103, and plays it back. The output control unit 132 displays the game screen as described above on the screen of the touch panel 110. The output control unit 132 reads out the sequence data stored in the sequence data storage unit 122 in association with the reproduced music. The output control unit 132 determines the arrival timing included in the predetermined time range from the current time to the future based on the sequence data, and the appearance timing obtained by subtracting the predetermined time (for example, two bars) from each determined arrival timing. The reference indicator and the surrounding object are displayed on the screen, and the reference is made so that the distance between each surrounding object and the reference indicator decreases as the time difference between each arrival timing and the current time decreases. The arrival timing is guided by causing a relative mutation so as to contract toward.

Further, the output control unit 132 displays the reference index at a predetermined position on the screen, displays the surrounding object surrounding the reference index, and contracts the surrounding object toward the reference index.
Here, the size of the surrounding object displayed by the output control unit 132 at the appearance timing may be an arbitrary size. For example, the surrounding object c having the size shown in FIG. 2 may be displayed at the appearance timing, and may be contracted from the size toward the reference index, or the surrounding object larger than this may be displayed at the appearance timing. It may be displayed and contracted toward the reference index, or at an appearance timing, a surrounding object smaller than this may be displayed and contracted toward the reference index. The surrounding object may be displayed at a position surrounding the reference index at a predetermined distance from the reference index in the screen as described above, but may be one that contracts from the outside of the screen. For example, information about a surrounding object larger than the screen may be generated at the appearance timing, and may appear from the outer edge of the screen as the surrounding object contracts. In this way, it is possible to produce an effect using the area of the entire screen more dynamically.

The accepting unit 133 accepts an operation input from the user performed on the input unit 102. For example, the reception unit 133 receives a touch operation on an arbitrary operation position in the screen.
The determination unit 134 performs success / failure determination based on the operation timing at which the reception unit 133 receives input and the arrival timing at which the surrounding object that contracts toward the reference index reaches the reference index.

  In the success / failure determination, the determination unit 134 performs a position determination process based on the operation position where the touch operation is performed and a timing determination process based on the operation timing when the touch operation is performed. For example, the determination unit 134 performs position determination processing according to the positional relationship between the operation position where the touch operation is performed, the position of the reference index, and the position of the surrounding object at that time. Specifically, the determination unit 134 determines that the reference index exists within a predetermined range from the operation position where the touch operation is performed and the surrounding object exists, and determines that the reference index is successful. If there is no object or there is no surrounding object, it is determined to have failed.

  Further, when the determination unit 134 determines success in the position determination process, the determination unit 134 determines success when the operation timing and arrival timing are within a predetermined range, and determines failure when the operation timing and arrival timing are not within the predetermined range. I do. Here, the determination unit 134 can also determine different evaluations in a plurality of stages according to the difference between the operation timing and the arrival timing. For example, the determination of success is divided into three stages, and the determination result when the difference between the operation timing and the arrival timing is 0.0 seconds or more and 0.2 seconds or less is “Fantastic”, and the difference is 0.21 seconds or more The determination result when it is within 0.4 seconds is “Great”, the determination result when the difference is 0.41 seconds or more and 0.8 seconds or less is “Good”, and the difference is 0.81 seconds or more. The determination result in the case can be a failure.

Next, an operation example of the game apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the game apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment.
When the user selects to start the game provided by the game apparatus 100 and selects a song to be played, the output control unit 132 displays a game screen, and the selected song data is displayed from the song data storage unit 121. Reading and outputting the music to the audio output unit 103 for reproduction, and reading out the sequence data corresponding to the music from the sequence data storage unit 122 to start the game.

  The game control unit 131 continuously performs the following processing from step S1 to step S7 during the game period from the start to the end of the music reproduction. The output control unit 132 performs object display processing for displaying the reference index and the surrounding object on the touch panel 110 based on the sequence data in accordance with the progressing music (step S1).

FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an operation example of object display processing by the game apparatus 100.
When the playback of the music starts, the output control unit 132 starts timing based on the time when the playback of the music starts, and the appearance timing of the reference index and the surrounding object based on the sequence data read from the sequence data storage unit 122. Is calculated (step S11). For example, the output control unit 132 calculates the appearance timing obtained by subtracting a predetermined time from the arrival timing included in the sequence data.

  When the output control unit 132 compares the calculated appearance timing with the elapsed time from the playback start time of the music and determines that the appearance timing has not arrived (step S12: NO), the process ends. If it is determined that the appearance timing has arrived (step S12: YES), the reference index indicated by the reference index identification information corresponding to the appearance timing is displayed on the screen (step S13). Further, the output control unit 132 displays the surrounding object surrounding the reference index on the screen, and contracts the surrounding object to reach the reference index at the arrival timing (step S14). When the arrival timing elapses, the output control unit 132 erases the display of the reference index displayed in step S13 and the surrounding object displayed in step S14.

  Returning to FIG. 7, when the output control unit 132 starts the object display process, the input unit 102 receives an input of a touch operation from the user according to the progress of the music (step S2). The determination unit 134 performs position determination processing based on the input touch operation (step S3). If the determination part 134 determines with success in a position determination process (step S4: YES), it will perform a timing determination process (step S5). When the determination unit 134 determines that the timing determination process is successful (step S6: YES), the game control unit 131 gives a reward to the user (step S7). If it is determined that the position determination process in step S3 or the timing determination process in step S5 is unsuccessful (step S4: NO, step S6: NO), no reward is given.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the timing game in which success / failure determination is performed by touch operation in accordance with the progress of music, a reference index is displayed at any one of a plurality of positions on the screen, and the reference The surrounding object surrounding the index is displayed, and the timing to be operated by the user is guided by the arrival timing at which the surrounding object contracting toward the reference index reaches the reference index. As a result, a timing game using the screen area widely and effectively can be provided, and a new game characteristic can be provided in which the position of the reference index appears in the area on the screen and the appearance timing is unknown.

  In the above example, the reference index is displayed at the timing and position set by the sequence data. However, among the seven predetermined positions on the screen, the reference index is displayed at a position randomly determined by the computer program. May be. In addition, although the example in which the reference index is displayed at seven predetermined positions on the screen has been shown, the position and the number at which the reference index is displayed may be any position and number. For example, the position and number may be determined randomly by a computer program, or may be determined according to the size of the screen area of the game apparatus 100 for playing a game, game characteristics, music, difficulty level, and the like. Alternatively, it may be set by the user.

  In the above example, the surrounding object has a circular shape. However, the surrounding object has a shape that surrounds the periphery of the reference index, and the entire surrounding object contracts toward the reference index. Any other shape may be used. For example, the surrounding object may be a polygon such as a triangle or a rectangle. Further, the surrounding object may be a line (solid line) as shown in the above example or a dotted line. Alternatively, for example, a plurality of objects arranged so as to surround the reference index may be moved simultaneously toward the reference index so that the entire surrounding object contracts toward the reference index.

  Further, in the above-described example, the information on the surrounding object that is larger than the screen is generated at the appearance timing, and the surrounding object appears from the outer edge of the screen as the surrounding object contracts. However, for example, the game device 100 may be an arcade game machine, When implemented as an arcade game machine, it may be linked to a lighting tube installed on the outer frame of the screen of the game apparatus 100. For example, a lighting tube that surrounds the outer frame of the screen of the game apparatus 100 in a plurality of stages in a double or triple manner is installed, and gradually lighted from the outside to the inside of the lighting tube according to the appearance timing. Alternatively, the surrounding object may be displayed in the screen after the innermost lighting tube of the plurality of stages of lighting tubes is turned on. In this way, it is possible to produce an effect in which the real space and the game space are linked.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Since the game device 100 of the present embodiment has the same configuration as the game device 100 described in the first embodiment, a characteristic configuration in the present embodiment will be described below.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen displayed on the screen of the touch panel 110 in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, in addition to the surrounding object c that contracts toward the temporary reference index p that is a reference index that is temporarily displayed from the appearance timing to the arrival timing as described in the first embodiment, the game period The moving object m moving toward the permanent reference index k to be continuously displayed on the screen is displayed, and success / failure determination is performed by the surrounding object c and the moving object m. This figure shows an example in which the temporary reference index p13 is temporarily displayed at the position of the reference index p3 in the first embodiment, and the surrounding object c toward the temporary reference index p13 is displayed.

  The permanent reference index k is a reference index that is fixedly displayed during the game period from the start of the game to the end of the game. In the present embodiment, an octagonal permanent reference index k is displayed at the center of the screen, and each path (path t1, path t2, path t3, path extending vertically from each side of the permanent reference index k toward the outside of the screen) t4, a route t5, a route t6, a route t7, a route t8), and the moving object m moving from the outside of the screen toward the permanent reference index k is displayed. For example, when the user performs a touch operation at the timing when such a moving object m reaches the permanent reference index k, the moving object m is displayed as if it is illuminated at the permanent reference index k. In the example of the figure, an example is shown in which a touch operation is performed according to the arrival timing of the moving object m on the permanent reference index k on the route t2, and the character “Fantastic” as the determination result is displayed. In the figure, the route is indicated by a dotted line for explanation, but the route is not limited to the dotted line, and the route may not be displayed on the screen.

  In the example of this figure, the moving object m toward the permanent reference index k is displayed with a line segment L that penetrates the center of the moving object m in parallel to the side of the permanent reference index k toward which it is directed. Yes. By such a line segment L, when the moving object m approaches the permanent reference index k, it is easy for the user to visually grasp the front-rear relationship of the arrival timing with another moving object m toward the adjacent side. Can do. However, such a line segment L need not be displayed.

  As described above, the game device 100 according to the present embodiment performs the first success / failure determination based on the touch operation performed at the arrival timing when the moving object m arrives on the line of the permanent reference index k, and the first embodiment. The second success / failure determination by the temporary reference index p and the surrounding object c as shown in FIG. In this way, by displaying a plurality of types of reference indices and objects for guiding a plurality of touch operations, it is possible to provide a timing game with more various expressions and improve game performance. A characteristic configuration of the game apparatus 100 of the present embodiment that provides such a game will be described in detail below.

  The operation sequence information b2 of the sequence data b stored in the sequence data storage unit 122 in this embodiment includes moving object information b4 in addition to the surrounding object information b3 shown in the first embodiment. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the content of the moving object information b4. The moving object information b4 includes, for each moving object that appears in the music, arrival timing at which the moving object reaches the permanent reference index, and path identification information that identifies a path that the moving object goes to the permanent reference index. It is. The moving object information b4 is configured as a set of a plurality of records in which these pieces of information are associated with each other. In the example of the figure, each information is described in the order of arrival timing and route identification information from the left.

The arrival timing is the same as the arrival timing described in the surrounding object information.
The route identification information is information for identifying a route for causing the moving object to reach the corresponding arrival timing among a plurality of routes toward each side included in the permanent reference index. For example, eight routes are identified by information such as t1, t2, t3, t4, t5, t6, t7, and t8, respectively. In this example, t1, t2, t3, t4, t5, t6, t7, and t8, which are route identification information, correspond to the route codes shown in FIG. 9, and information indicating a predetermined position of each route is provided. It is assumed to be stored in advance. The predetermined position of the route can be determined by a value representing the starting point and the ending point of the route by the coordinate values of the X coordinate and the Y coordinate with respect to the lower left corner point on the rectangular screen, for example. The output control unit 132 can move the moving object on the route at the predetermined position by referring to such route identification information and information indicating the predetermined position corresponding thereto.

  The output control unit 132 in the present embodiment displays a permanent reference index that is continuously displayed on the screen during the game period and a temporary reference index that is a reference index that is temporarily displayed on the screen during the game period. A moving object that moves toward the reference index is displayed. The temporary reference indicators are the same as the reference indicators p1 to p7 shown in the first embodiment. That is, the timing game is newly introduced to the timing game by guiding each timing with a plurality of different types of reference indicators and objects such as the surrounding object c toward the temporary reference indicator p and the moving object m toward the permanent reference indicator k. Can provide various effects and effects.

  Here, the output control unit 132 can contract the surrounding object c toward the temporary reference index p at a speed different from the speed at which the moving object m moves toward the permanent reference index k. For example, the surrounding object c is contracted toward the temporary reference index p at a speed faster than the moving object m moves toward the permanent reference index k. In this way, it becomes clear that the moving object m and the surrounding object c are different types of objects, the game width is further widened, and the difference between the moving object m and the surrounding object c is perceived by the user. , Can be visually distinguishable.

  Further, the output control unit 132 may display the moving object m and the surrounding object c in different colors. For example, the moving object m can be displayed in red and the surrounding object can be displayed in green. In this way, it becomes clear that the moving object m and the surrounding object c are different types of objects, the game width is further widened, and the difference between the moving object m and the surrounding object c is perceived by the user. , Can be visually distinguishable. Here, for example, the temporary reference index p may be displayed in green according to the surrounding object c.

  The output control unit 132 can display the temporary reference index p at a position different from the position where the permanent reference index k is displayed on the screen. That is, the permanent reference index k and the temporary reference index p may be displayed at arbitrary positions on the screen, but it is difficult for the user to see if the permanent reference index k and the temporary reference index p are displayed at the same position. Therefore, it may be difficult to perform a touch operation in accordance with the arrival timing. Therefore, the user can comfortably play the game by controlling the permanent reference index k and the temporary reference index p to be displayed at different positions.

  The determination unit 134 according to the present embodiment is based on the timing at which the reception unit 133 receives an input of a touch operation and the timing at which the moving object m moving toward the permanent reference index k reaches the permanent reference index k. The second success / failure is determined based on the timing at which the accepting unit 133 accepts the input of the touch operation and the timing at which the surrounding object c that contracts toward the temporary reference index p reaches the temporary reference index p. Make a decision.

  In the first success / failure determination, the determination unit 134 performs a position determination process based on the operation position where the touch operation is performed and a timing determination process based on the operation timing when the touch operation is performed. For example, the determination unit 134 performs position determination processing according to the positional relationship between the operation position where the touch operation has been performed, the position of the permanent reference index k, and the position of the moving object m at that time. Specifically, the determination unit 134 determines success when the permanent reference index k is present within the predetermined range from the operation position where the touch operation is performed and the moving object m is present, and the determination unit 134 is within the predetermined range. If the permanent reference index k does not exist or the moving object m does not exist, it is determined as failure.

Further, when the determination unit 134 determines success in the position determination process, the determination unit 134 determines success when the operation timing and arrival timing are within a predetermined range, and determines failure when the operation timing and arrival timing are not within the predetermined range. I do. In the first success / failure determination, similarly to the success / failure determination described in the first embodiment, the determination unit 134 can also determine a plurality of different evaluations according to the difference between the operation timing and the arrival timing.
The second success / failure determination is the same as the success / failure determination described in the first embodiment.

Next, an operation example of the game apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
The overall processing flow is the same as the operation example described with reference to FIG. 7 in the first embodiment. However, when starting the game, the output control unit 132 causes the display unit 101 to display a game screen including the permanent reference index k. Further, in step S4 to step S7, the determination unit 134 performs a first success / failure determination based on the permanent reference index k and the moving object m and a second success / failure determination based on the temporary reference index p and the surrounding object c.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an operation example of object display processing in the present embodiment.
When the playback of the music starts, the output control unit 132 starts timing based on the time when the playback of the music starts, and the appearance timing of the moving object m and the temporary reference based on the sequence data read from the sequence data storage unit 122. The index p and the appearance timing of the surrounding object c are calculated (step S21). For example, the output control unit 132 calculates an appearance timing obtained by subtracting a predetermined time from the arrival timing included in the sequence data (step S22).

  When the output control unit 132 compares the calculated appearance timing with the elapsed time from the music reproduction start time and determines that the appearance timing has not arrived (step S22: NO), the process ends. If it is determined that the appearance timing has arrived (step S22: YES), it is determined whether the object at which the appearance timing has come is a surrounding object or a moving object. If the output control unit 132 determines that the object whose appearance timing has arrived is not a surrounding object (is a moving object) (step S23: NO), the output control unit 132 displays the moving object m on the route indicated by the route identification information corresponding to the appearance timing. And move so as to reach the permanent reference index k at the arrival timing (step S26).

  If it is determined in step S23 that the object whose appearance timing has arrived is a surrounding object (step S23: YES), the temporary reference index p indicated by the reference index identification information corresponding to the appearance timing is displayed on the screen (step S24). . In addition, the output control unit 132 displays the surrounding object c surrounding the temporary reference index p on the screen, and contracts the surrounding object c so as to reach the temporary reference index p at the arrival timing (step S25). When the arrival timing elapses, the output control unit 132 erases the display of the temporary reference index p displayed in step S24 and the surrounding object c displayed in step S25.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, each arrival timing is guided by both the moving object that moves toward the permanent reference indicator and the surrounding object that contracts toward the temporary reference indicator. Success / failure determination is performed by a touch operation according to timing. As a result, it is possible to provide a new effect that the arrival timing is indicated by a plurality of types of objects, and to provide new game characteristics.

  The game device 100 of the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above can be implemented as a computer device operated by a user, or can be implemented as a server device that communicates with a terminal operated by the user. It can also be implemented as a game system that is a combination of a terminal operated by a user and a server device that communicates with the terminal. In addition, a stationary game device called a consumer game machine or a home game machine, a game device which is a portable information terminal called a portable game machine, a game called an arcade game machine or an arcade game machine It can also be implemented as a device. Moreover, it can implement as a game method by these game systems and game devices, and can implement as a game program which operates the computer of these game systems and game devices. This game program may be incorporated in advance in the game system or game device, or may be distributed together with the installer and installed in the game system or game device afterwards.

  FIG. 12 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of a game system 1000 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Here, an example of a game system 1000 that is a combination of a game terminal 1200 operated by a user and a game server 1100 that communicates with the game terminal 1200 is shown. The game system 1000 is a computer system that provides a game called a so-called cloud game.

The game server 1100 and the game terminal 1200 are connected via the network 5. The network 5 includes, for example, an information communication network configured by the Internet, a WAN (Wide Area Network), a LAN (Local Area Network), a dedicated line, or a combination thereof.
The game server 1100 includes a storage unit 1120, a control unit 1130, and a communication unit 1140. The storage unit 1120 includes a music data storage unit 1121 and a sequence data storage unit 1122. The control unit 1130 includes a game control unit 1131, and the game control unit 1131 includes an output control unit 1132, a reception unit 1133, and a determination unit 1134.

  The storage unit 1120, the music data storage unit 1121, and the sequence data storage unit 1122 are the same as the storage unit 120, the music data storage unit 121, and the sequence data storage unit 122 in the above-described embodiment. The control unit 1130, the game control unit 1131, the output control unit 1132, the reception unit 1133, and the determination unit 1134 are the control unit 130, the game control unit 131, the game control unit 131 in the above-described embodiment, This is the same as the output control unit 132, the reception unit 133, and the determination unit 134.

  The communication unit 1140 communicates with the game terminal 1200 via the network 5. For example, the communication unit 1140 transmits information on the screen generated by the output control unit 1132 to the game terminal 1200 for display. Further, the communication unit 1140 transmits the music data output from the output control unit 1132 to the game terminal 1200 for output. In addition, the communication unit 1140 receives a signal indicating a user operation input to the game terminal 1200 and inputs the signal to the reception unit 1133.

The game terminal 1200 includes a touch panel 1110 having a display unit 1101 and an input unit 1102, an audio output unit 1103, a communication unit 1210, and a control unit 1220.
The display unit 1101, the input unit 1102, the touch panel 1110, and the audio output unit 1103 are the same as the display unit 101, the input unit 102, the touch panel 1110, and the audio output unit 1103 in the first embodiment.

  The communication unit 1210 communicates with the game server 1100 via the network 5. For example, the communication unit 1210 receives a game screen and music data transmitted from the game server 1100. Further, the communication unit 1210 transmits a signal indicating a user operation input to the input unit 1102 to the game server 1100.

  The control unit 1220 controls each unit included in the game terminal 1200. For example, the control unit 1220 causes the display unit 1101 to display a game screen based on information received from the game server 1100 by the communication unit 1210 and causes the audio output unit 1103 to reproduce music. In addition, the control unit 1220 transmits a signal indicating a user operation input to the input unit 1102 to the game server 1100 via the communication unit 1210.

  Here, an example in which the game server 1100 includes a music data storage unit 1121 is shown. However, when playing a game, music data selected to be played is downloaded to the game terminal 1200 in advance before the game starts. Can do. In this case, the game terminal 1200 reproduces the music data downloaded and stored in its storage unit before starting the game, and the display of the reference index and the object is output from the game server 1100 after the game is started. A screen generated and transmitted in real time by the control unit 1132 is displayed.

  As described above, each functional unit included in the game device 100 and the game system 1000 is based on the cloud environment, the network environment, the scale of the number of users, the number of hardware prepared to configure the game system, the specifications, and the like. It can be distributed or aggregated in any number of computer devices.

  In the above example, the color of the object or the reference index is changed while the object of the moving object or the surrounding object is displayed at the appearance timing and then the object moves toward the reference index of the permanent reference index or the temporary reference index. It may be. For example, the object may be changed so that the color becomes darker as the object approaches the reference index, or the object or the reference index may blink. Thereby, the arrival timing can be guided to the user more easily.

  In the above example, the output control unit 132 has shown the example in which the surrounding object contracts toward the reference index at a speed faster than the moving object moves toward the permanent reference index. Good. That is, the output control unit 132 may cause the moving object to move toward the permanent reference index at a speed faster than the speed at which the surrounding object contracts toward the reference index.

  In the above-described example, the determination unit 134 performs the position determination process and the timing determination process in the success / failure determination. However, the determination unit 134 determines the success / failure by performing only the timing determination process without performing the position determination process. May be. That is, regardless of where on the touch panel 110 the touch operation has been performed, it may be determined that the timing is successful. In this way, for example, even a user who is unfamiliar with the game operation using the touch panel 110 can easily enjoy the game. Alternatively, an input of an operation can be received by pressing a physical button provided in the game apparatus 100 that does not include a touch panel, and success / failure determination can be performed based on an operation timing and an arrival timing when the button is pressed.

  Alternatively, for example, the game device 100 may include a plurality of physical buttons corresponding to a plurality of sides of the permanent reference index k and the temporary reference index p, and accepting an operation input by pressing the corresponding button. it can.

  In the above example, the permanent reference index k is an octagonal shape, but the permanent reference index k may have any shape as long as the moving object m can reach. For example, it may be a polygonal shape such as a triangular shape or a quadrangular shape or a circular shape, and the moving object m may be moved toward each side of the shape or the circumference. Alternatively, it may be a line extending left and right at the lower part and upper part of the screen, and a line extending vertically at the left and right parts of the screen.

In the above-described example, an example in which the path along which the moving object moves is a straight line, but a curved line, a broken line, or the like may be used.
In the above example, the moving object or the surrounding object has been described as an object that requests the user to perform a single touch operation. However, for example, an object that requests a long press at the arrival timing or an object that requests repeated hits. An object that requests a flick operation may be used.

  In the above example, the arrival time is included in the sequence data stored in the sequence data storage unit 122, and the appearance timing is specified by subtracting a predetermined time from the arrival timing. May include other information as long as it specifies the arrival timing and the appearance timing. For example, the appearance timing may be included instead of the arrival timing, and the output control unit 132 may specify the arrival timing by adding a predetermined time to the appearance timing. Alternatively, for example, a predetermined time, which is a screen existence time during which an object exists on the screen between the appearance timing and the arrival timing, is included in the sequence data, and calculation processing can be performed using this value. Alternatively, both the appearance timing and the arrival timing are included in the sequence data, and the appearance timing and the arrival timing are specified by reading out the appearance timing and the arrival timing without the output control unit 132 performing arithmetic processing. You can also.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which multiple stages of evaluation such as “Fantastic” and “Great” are performed based on the determination result in the timing determination process has been described. However, multiple stages are evaluated based on the determination result of the position determination process. Evaluation can also be performed. For example, when the operation position is within a predetermined range with respect to the reference index, “Fantastic” is set, and the control is performed so that the evaluation is decreased to “Great” and “Good” as the operation position is separated from the reference index. it can. Alternatively, multiple stages of evaluation may be performed based on the determination results of both the timing determination process and the position determination process.

  Moreover, in the above-mentioned example, the moving object shows a plurality of paths toward each side of the permanent reference indicator, but the user performs a touch operation on the permanent reference indicator at the center of such a game screen and plays a game. The moving object appearing from the route at the bottom of the screen (for example, route t6, route t7, route t8) may be difficult to see because it is hidden by the user's hand or arm. Therefore, for example, when a moving object appears from the path at the bottom of the screen, a display may be made to notify that a moving object has appeared on the side of the permanent reference index. For example, it is possible to display an arrow indicator on the side toward which the moving object appears, or to temporarily change the color of the side toward which the appearing moving object is directed.

  In the above-described example, when a moving image is played back on the reference index or the object background, the display unit 101 includes two displays, and the transmissive liquid crystal is applied to the first display on the user's side. Then, the reference index and the object may be displayed, and the moving image may be reproduced on the second display on the back side. In this case, for example, in order to prevent the display of the reference index and the object displayed on the first display from being difficult to see due to the moving image displayed on the second display, the second display In the moving image displayed on the screen, dynamic whitening may be performed at a position corresponding to the reference index or the object.

  Further, when a plurality of moving objects m are displayed on the screen at the same time and there are combinations of a plurality of moving objects m having the same arrival timing, the moving object m belonging to the combination is another moving object. It can be displayed in a color different from m. Thereby, it becomes easy for the user to grasp a combination of a plurality of moving objects having the same arrival timing.

  In addition, the moving object m that moves toward the permanent reference index k may appear from the outer edge of the screen, but the process from when the moving object m appears on the screen until it reaches the permanent reference index k. You may control an appearance position so that time may become substantially the same even if a path | route differs. For example, when the screen is a rectangle extending horizontally, the left and right paths (for example, the path t1 and the path t5) are longer than the upper and lower paths (for example, the path t3 and the path t7). If the moving object m appears from the outer edge of the screen for all of these, it may be difficult for the user to measure the arrival timing. This is because the user grasps the appearance of the moving object m at the end of the field of view while gazing at the permanent reference index k, and consciously or unconsciously measures the arrival timing according to the appearance timing. Therefore, if the elapsed time from the appearance timing to the arrival timing is different due to different routes, it is considered that the arrival timing is difficult to measure. Therefore, for example, the moving object m that appears from the left and right routes (for example, the route t1 and the route t5) does not appear from the outer edge of the screen, but the moving object m appears on other routes (for example, the route t3 and the route t4). You may make it appear from the position in a screen which is the substantially same distance as the distance from the permanent reference parameter | index to be made.

  In the above example, the game program for configuring the game control unit 131 and executing the game has been stored in the storage unit 120 in advance. For example, the game program is received via a network. The game program stored in the portable storage medium may be read out, installed, and stored in the storage unit 120.
