[Game equipment]
First, an example of the game machine 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The game machine 10 has a main body 4 that functions as the controller 1 as shown in FIG. The main body 4 has a rectangular shape and is a size that can be held by a user with one hand or both hands. The main body 4 has a display 32. As the display 32, for example, a liquid crystal display device or an organic EL display device may be used.

  The controller 1 has an operation button 2 located on the lower side and an infrared camera 34 located on the upper side. The user (player) can play the game displayed on the display 32 by operating the operation buttons of the controller 1.

  As shown in FIG. 1B, the controller 1 directs the infrared camera 34 toward the object Oj and irradiates the object Oj with infrared rays at a predetermined angle and a predetermined position. The controller 1 transmits an image of the object Oj by infrared rays reflected from the object Oj to the main body 4 side.

  When the image of the object Oj is received, the CPU in the main body 4 analyzes the image of the object Oj. At this time, the shape and brightness obtained by analyzing the image of the captured object Oj vary depending on the shooting location and shooting direction (shooting angle) of the object Oj. Therefore, even if the same object Oj is photographed, different parameters are specified according to the shape and brightness of the object Oj included in the image of the object Oj from the photographing location and the photographing direction of the object Oj. In this way, when specific parameters are extracted according to the shape and brightness of the object Oj taken by the infrared camera 34, the specified parameters are displayed on the display 32 as shown in FIG. . Further, when the user moves the infrared camera 34 and changes the shooting location and shooting direction of the object Oj, the parameters specified in accordance with this change, and the changed parameters are displayed on the display 32.

  Note that the game device 10 according to the present embodiment is an example of an information processing apparatus that executes a game based on a downloaded game processing program and game data. The game device 10 may be a personal computer, a tablet computer, a smartphone, or the like.

  In the game device 10 according to the present embodiment, the number of controllers 1 may be two or three or more. As long as the game apparatus 10 is provided with the display 32, the infrared camera 34, and the operation button 2, the controller 1 and the main body 4 may be detachable.

[Hardware configuration of game machine]
Next, an example of the hardware configuration of the game apparatus 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The game device 10 according to the present embodiment includes a central processing unit (CPU) 21, a read only memory (ROM) 22, a random access memory (RAM) 23, and a hard disk drive (HDD) 24.

  The game device 10 also includes a graphic card 25, an external I / F 26, a communication I / F 27, an input I / F 28, a projector 29, a touch panel 31, a display 32, a speaker 33, and an infrared camera 34. Each part is connected to each other by a bus.

  The ROM 22 is a nonvolatile semiconductor memory that can retain internal data even when the power is turned off. The RAM 23 is a volatile semiconductor memory that temporarily stores programs and data. The ROM 22 and the RAM 23 store programs and data.

  The HDD 24 is a non-volatile storage device that stores programs and data. The HDD 24 may store basic software and application software programs that control the entire game device 10. Various databases may be stored in the HDD 24. In the present embodiment, the HDD 24 stores various programs such as a basic processing program and a game processing program, and various data.

  The CPU 21 reads various programs and various data from the ROM 22 and the HDD 24 onto the RAM 23 and executes various processes, thereby realizing overall control of the game device 10 and functions installed in the game device 10.

  The external I / F 26 is an interface that connects the game machine 10 to an external device. The external device includes a storage medium 26a. Thereby, the game device 10 can read and write the storage medium 26 a via the external I / F 26. Examples of the storage medium 26a include a CD (Compact Disk), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), an SD memory card (SD Memory card), or a USB memory (Universal Serial Bus memory).

  For example, the game machine 10 can be loaded with a storage medium 26a in which a game processing program or the like is stored. These programs are read by the external I / F 26 and read into the RAM 23.

  The CPU 21 processes the game processing program read into the RAM 23 and instructs the graphic card 25 to output an image according to the progress of the game. The graphic card 25 performs image processing of the game displayed on the screen according to the instruction, and causes the display 32 to draw the game image. One frame time of an image output from the graphic card 25 is, for example, 1/30 to 1/60 seconds. The graphic card 25 executes drawing of one image for each frame. That is, an image of 30 to 60 frames per second is drawn.

  Further, the CPU 21 processes the various programs read into the RAM 23 and outputs predetermined sounds from the speaker 33 as the game progresses. The communication I / F 27 is an interface for connecting the game device 10 to a network. The communication I / F 27 communicates with other devices via a communication unit having an antenna.

  The input I / F 28 is an interface connected to an input device such as the controller 1. The controller 1 has an operation button 2. The user performs a game operation using the controller 1. For example, the user can cause the player character PC to perform a predetermined action by operating the operation button 2. The controller 1 may have a direction key 3, and the user may move the player character PC in a predetermined direction by operating the direction key 3.

  The input I / F 28 causes the RAM 23 to store input information based on an input operation performed by the user using the controller 1. When the user operates the controller 1 to instruct the start of the game, the input I / F 28 inputs the instruction information to start the game process.

  The infrared camera 34 includes a lens and a light receiving element that is sensitive to light (infrared rays or near infrared rays). The infrared camera 34 has an image sensor in which a plurality of light receiving elements that are sensitive to infrared light are arranged vertically and horizontally. Each light receiving element of the image sensor receives infrared light that is emitted from the infrared camera 34 and reflects the object Oj. A two-dimensional infrared image is output by converting it into an electrical signal. The infrared camera 34 is an example of an infrared sensor that captures an object.

  The projector 29 has a light source that emits visible light, and projects characters, images, and the like on the projection plane using light from the light source. The touch panel 31 is provided on the screen of the display 32, and detects the position on the screen touched by the user. As the touch panel 31, for example, an arbitrary one such as a capacitance method or a resistance film method is used.

  In the game device 10 having such a configuration, when the CPU 21 executes various arithmetic processes relating to the game, the input I / F 28 stores the game data stored in the RAM 23 in the memory card 28a in accordance with instructions from the CPU 21. Further, the input I / F 28 performs a process of reading the game data at the time of interruption stored in the memory card 28 a and transferring it to the RAM 23.

  In the present embodiment, when the game device 10 is set in a stationary state, functions such as the infrared camera 34 and the touch panel 31 cannot be used. However, in this case, functions such as the infrared camera 34 and the touch panel 31 may be used.

[Functional configuration of game device]
Next, an example of a functional configuration of the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The game machine 10 includes a game execution unit 9, a reception unit 11, a photographing unit 12, a storage unit 13, a specification unit 14, a creation unit 15, a graphic processing unit 16, a sound processing unit 17, a display unit 18, a sound output unit 19, and communication. Part 20.

  The reception unit 11 receives a user's game operation. For example, the reception unit 11 receives an operation of the operation button 2 of the controller 1. The game execution unit 9 executes game processing according to the game processing program. The game executed in the present embodiment may be a game that is played alone, or may be a communication game that is played jointly with other users connected via communication.

  The photographing unit 12 photographs a specific object using the infrared camera 34. The storage unit 13 stores a parameter table 131 and a game processing program 132. In the parameter table 131, a plurality of shapes and luminances of the object and parameters relating to the game are stored in association with each other.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the parameter table 131 according to an embodiment. In the parameter table 131 of FIG. 4, the object 131 a is “horse”, and parameters 131 d are stored corresponding to each of the plurality of shapes 131 b and the luminance 131 c of the horse. Here, “face”, “head”, “back”, “belly”, “front foot”, “back foot”, “butt”, “neck”, etc. are stored as the shape 131b of the horse object. Different parameters 131d are stored depending on the case where the luminance 131c is “high” and “low”.

  The identifying unit 14 refers to the parameter table 131 and identifies a parameter related to the game based on at least one of the shape and brightness of the photographed object Oj. For example, when the shape of the photographed horse object Oj is “face” and the luminance is “high”, the specifying unit 14 refers to the parameter table 131 of FIG. ”And the abbreviation“ 36 ”.

  The shape and brightness of the object vary depending on the shooting position of the object Oj. The shape and brightness of the object also change depending on the shooting angle of the object Oj. Therefore, by changing the shape of the object Oj included in the image to be photographed and the brightness of the image according to the posture and direction when the infrared camera 34 captures the object Oj and the distance between the infrared camera 34 and the object Oj, Parameters can be changed.

  The object Oj is not limited to animals. The object Oj may be any one of a human body part, a non-human animal part, a dynamic object, or a static object. For example, the object Oj may be a part of a human body such as a human hand, foot, or mouth, or may be a part of an animal foot such as a pet or a tail. The target object Oj may be a static object such as a figure of a character appearing in the game, or a dynamic object such as a robot. The object Oj may be a two-dimensional object or a three-dimensional object. However, if the object Oj is a human hand, by setting parameters in the parameter table 131 that match the concept imaged from the shape of the hand, the predictability of the parameter specified by the shape of the hand can be improved. Therefore, it is preferable.

  Moreover, when creating a military commander character, it is preferable that the parameter of the parameter table 131 is a command, a hero, or a tactic indicating the parameters of the military commander character in FIG. 4, but is not limited thereto. Other examples of parameters may include the level of attack or defense HP used in the game, the degree of background contrast reflected in the game, signs and weapons that can be used in the game.

  When the user photographs an object using the infrared camera 34, the display unit 18 displays parameters specified according to the shape and brightness of the object in real time. It should be noted that in “shooting an object”, parameters are displayed not only when the user presses the shutter of the infrared camera 34 to obtain an image of the object, but also by simply pointing the infrared camera 34 toward the object. Such cases may also be included.

  For example, an example in which parameters are set when a three-dimensional horse figure is the object Oj will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the user uses the infrared camera 34 provided in the controller 1 to photograph the object Oj from the front, rear, diagonal, or side.

  First, when the user captures the object Oj from the front diagonal right side using the infrared camera 34 at the position shown in (1) in the upper diagram of FIG. 5, the specifying unit 14 refers to the parameter table 131, The shape and brightness of the object Oj are analyzed from the captured image of the object Oj. However, only the shape of the object Oj included in the image may be analyzed, or only the luminance of the object Oj may be analyzed.

  At this time, when the shape of the object Oj is analyzed as “neck” and the luminance is “high”, the specifying unit 14 refers to the parameter table 131 and the shape 131b is “neck” and the luminance 131c is “high”. The parameter 131d of the command “48”, the hero “90”, and the wisdom “45” associated with each other is specified. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5A, the display unit 18 displays the parameters of the specified rate “48”, heroic “90”, and knowledge “45” on the display 32. In FIG. 5A, the object Oj and the like are displayed together with the parameters, but only the parameters may be displayed.

  Subsequently, when the user photographs the object Oj from the front using the infrared camera 34 at the position shown in (2) in the upper diagram of FIG. 5, the specifying unit 14 refers to the parameter table 131 and captures the image. The shape and brightness of the target object Oj are analyzed from the image of the target object Oj.

  At this time, when the shape of the object Oj is analyzed as “face” and the luminance is “high”, the specifying unit 14 refers to the parameter table 131 and the shape 131b is “face” and the luminance 131c is “high”. The parameter 131d of the command “75”, the hero “48”, and the wisdom “36” associated with each other is specified. As a result, the display unit 18 changes the display in real time from the parameter displayed in FIG. 5A to the parameters of the command “75”, the hero “48”, and the knowledge “36” shown in FIG. 5B. The

  Subsequently, when the user captures the object Oj from behind using the infrared camera 34 as shown in (3) of the upper diagram of FIG. 5, the specifying unit 14 refers to the parameter table 131 and captures the image. The shape and brightness of the target object Oj are analyzed from the image of the target object Oj.

  For example, when the shape of the object Oj is analyzed as “butt” and the luminance is “high”, the specifying unit 14 refers to the parameter table 131 and sets the shape 131b to “butt” and the luminance 131c to “high”. The parameters 131d of the associated command “58”, hero “17”, and knowledge “99” are specified. As a result, the display unit 18 displays in real time from the parameters displayed in FIG. 5B to the parameters of the specified command “58”, hero “17”, and knowledge “99” shown in FIG. 5C. Is changed.

  The user moves the infrared camera 34 while confirming the displayed parameters, and when the desired parameters are displayed, presses the shutter button 34a. Thereby, the parameter when the shutter button 34a is pressed is selected.

  The creation unit 15 creates a military commander character based on the parameters of the selected military commander character. For example, when the shutter button 34a is pressed while the parameters shown in FIG. 5A are displayed, the creation unit 15 has parameters of command “48”, heroic “90”, and knowledge “45”. Create a warrior character with excellent heroism.

  On the other hand, when the shutter button 34a is pressed while the parameters shown in FIG. 5B are displayed, the creation unit 15 has parameters of command “75”, hero “48”, and knowledge “36”. Create a military commander with excellent command.

  Further, when the shutter button 34a is pressed while the parameters shown in FIG. 5C are displayed, the creation unit 15 uses the command parameters of command “58”, hero “17”, and command “99”. Create an excellent military commander character.

  The graphic processing unit 16 is connected to the display unit 18, and outputs a video signal to the display unit 18 when a drawing command is output from the game execution unit 9. Thereby, the display part 18 displays the image of a game according to progress of a game.

  The sound processing unit 17 is connected to the sound output unit 19, and outputs a sound signal to the sound output unit 19 when a sound output instruction command is output from the game execution unit 9. Thereby, the sound output part 19 outputs the audio | voice and sound according to progress of a game. The communication unit 20 communicates with other devices.

  Note that the function of the storage unit 13 is realized by, for example, the ROM 22, the RAM 23, the HDD 24, or a storage device on the cloud connected to the game machine 10 via the network as shown in FIG. The function of the reception unit 11 is realized by the input I / F 28 or the external I / F 26, for example. The function of the imaging unit 12 is realized by the infrared camera 34, for example.

  The functions of the game execution unit 9, the specification unit 14, the creation unit 15, and the sound processing unit 17 are realized by, for example, processing that the game processing program 132 causes the CPU 21 to execute.

  The function of the graphic processing unit 16 is realized by the graphic card 25, for example. The function of the display unit 18 is realized by the display 32, for example. The function of the sound output unit 19 is realized by the speaker 33, for example.

  The function of the communication unit 20 is realized by the communication I / F 27, for example. For example, when the parameter table 131 is stored in a storage device on the cloud, the communication unit 20 receives necessary information from the storage device on the cloud.

  Note that FIG. 3 is a block diagram focusing on functions, and each unit shown in these functional blocks can be realized by hardware only, software only, or a combination of hardware and software.

[Commander parameter setting / game processing]
Next, an example of parameter setting and game processing of the military commander character according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of parameter setting and game processing according to an embodiment.

  When the user directs the infrared camera 34 toward the object Oj and irradiates the object Oj with the infrared light, the photographing unit 12 receives the reflected light reflected from the object Oj at the irradiated position at the angle irradiated with the infrared light. When the element receives light, the object Oj is photographed (step S10). Next, the specifying unit 14 analyzes the shape and luminance from the captured image of the object Oj (step S12). Next, the specifying unit 14 specifies a parameter corresponding to the shape and brightness (step S14). At this time, the identifying unit 14 refers to the parameter table 131 and identifies a parameter associated with the shape and brightness of the object Oj analyzed from the captured image.

  Next, the display unit 18 displays the specified parameters (step S16). Next, the creating unit 15 determines whether or not the shutter button 34a has been pressed (step S18). If the shutter button 34a is not pressed by the user, it is determined that the shutter button 34a has not been pressed, and the process returns to step 10. The imaging unit 12 captures the object Oj again at the position and angle at which the infrared camera 34 is directed at this time (step S10). Next, the specifying unit 14 analyzes the shape and luminance from the image of the object Oj photographed this time (step S12), and specifies parameters according to the shape and luminance (step S14). Next, the display unit 18 displays the specified parameters (step S16). In this way, the user confirms the numerical value of the changing parameter by changing the position and angle of the object Oj to which the infrared camera 34 is directed, and the desired parameter suitable for the military commander character to be created is displayed. Sometimes the shutter button 34a is pressed.

  The creation unit 15 determines whether or not the shutter button 34a has been pressed (step S18), and the processes of steps S10 to S18 are repeated until the shutter button 34a is pressed. When the shutter button 34a is pressed, the creation unit 15 creates a military commander character corresponding to the displayed parameter (step S20).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the user prepares a plurality of patterns for the sex, hair, contour, eyebrows, armor, and the like of the military commander character on the screen for creating the military commander character of FIG. You can select the part you want from the parts that you have. At that time, as shown on the right side of FIG. 7A, the user can select each part while confirming the predicted figure of the military commander character.

  In the creation of the character, the object Oj is imaged using the infrared camera 34 with parameters indicating other characteristics of the military commander character as well as the commander's command, heroism, and knowledge of the military commander character shown in FIG. It may be set with. Further, not only the military commander character but also the HP, armor, color, etc. of the soldier character belonging to the corps shown in FIG. 7B may be set by photographing the object Oj using the infrared camera 34.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the game execution unit 9 causes the created character to appear, executes the desired game (step S <b> 22), and ends this process.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the user associates the shape and brightness of the object Oj to be photographed by changing the posture and position of the infrared camera 34 and the distance between the infrared camera 34 and the object Oj. The displayed parameters can be displayed in real time. Then, the user can create a military commander character having a desired parameter by pressing the shutter button 34a when a favorite parameter suitable for the military commander character to be created is displayed. In particular, in this embodiment, the user can create a military commander character having different parameters by irradiating one object Oj with infrared rays in different directions and different positions from the infrared camera 34. As a result, the user can set one of the different parameters that can be specified by photographing one object with various shapes and brightness.

[Other examples of military character parameter settings]
Next, other examples of parameter setting and game processing of the military commander character according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 shows another example of the parameter table 131 according to an embodiment. FIG. 9 shows another example of shooting and parameter display by the infrared camera 34 according to an embodiment.

  In the parameter table 131 of FIG. 8, when the object 131a is “hand”, the parameter 131d is stored corresponding to each of the plurality of shapes 131b and the luminance 131c. Here, the shape of the object 131b of the hand is made a circle with "Goo" hand, "Turn up thumb" hand, "Cheap" hand, "Turn thumb down" hand, "Thumb and index finger" "Hands etc. are memorized. Also, parameters 131d corresponding to the cases where the luminance 131c is “high”, “medium”, and “low” are stored for each shape.

  The identifying unit 14 refers to the parameter table 131 and identifies a game-related parameter based on at least one of the shape and brightness of the hand that is the captured object Oj. For example, when the user makes the hand shooting with the infrared camera 34 “goo”, the specifying unit 14 refers to the parameter table 131 in FIG. 8 and the shape is “goo” and the brightness is “high”. The attached parameter 131d is specified. As a result, parameters of the command “75”, the hero “96”, and the knowledge “77” are specified. As a result, as shown on the left side of FIG. 9, the display unit 18 displays the parameters of the specified command “75”, hero “96”, and knowledge “77”.

  After that, when the user changes the hand to be photographed by the infrared camera 34 to “put the thumb up”, the specifying unit 14 refers to the parameter table 131 and the shape is “put the thumb up”. The parameter 131d associated with the brightness “medium” is specified. As a result, the parameters of the command “18”, the hero “83”, and the knowledge “66” are specified. As a result, as shown on the right side of FIG. 9, the display unit 18 changes the parameters to be displayed in real time to the command “18”, the hero “83”, and the knowledge “66”.

  The parameter setting and game processing according to the present embodiment when the user's hand is used for the object Oj using the parameter table 131 of FIG. 8 are the same as those described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Since they are the same, the description is omitted here.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the user confirms the numerical value of the changing parameter by changing the shape and angle of the hand to be photographed using the infrared camera 34, and matches the military commander character to be created. When the desired parameter is displayed, the shutter button 34a is pressed. A military commander character can be created with the parameters specified in this way. In particular, in this embodiment, the user can display a plurality of parameters of the military commander character according to the shape and brightness of the hand photographed using the infrared camera 34 by making one hand into various shapes. it can. Thereby, the user can select a desired parameter from the displayed parameters and create a military commander character. In this way, the user can set any one of the different parameters specified for one object.

  In particular, when the object Oj is a human hand, by setting parameters in the parameter table 131 that match the concept imaged from the shape of the hand, the predictability of the parameters specified by the shape of the hand can be improved. .

  For example, there is a concept that the hand of “holding the thumb up” is more fortunate than the hand of “turning the thumb down”, so a better numerical parameter is set in the parameter table 131. Also good.

[Game processing application example 1]
Hereinafter, an application example 1 of the game processing according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an application example 1 of game processing according to an embodiment. Here, the parameter is “the degree of contrast of the background reflected in the game”, and the parameter is specified based on only the luminance from the image of the photographed object Oj.

  When the user directs the infrared camera 34 toward the object Oj and irradiates the object Oj with the infrared light, the photographing unit 12 receives the reflected light reflected from the object Oj at the irradiated position at the angle irradiated with the infrared light. Thus, the object Oj is photographed (step S10). Next, the specifying unit 14 analyzes the luminance from the captured image of the object Oj (step S30). Next, the specifying unit 14 specifies a parameter associated with the specified luminance with reference to a parameter table in which the luminance and the parameter are associated. (Step S32).

  Next, the display unit 18 displays the specified parameters (step S16). Next, the creating unit 15 determines whether or not the shutter button 34a has been pressed (step S18). When the shutter button 34a is not pressed by the user, the process returns to step 10 and the processes after step S10 are repeated.

  The user checks the numerical value of the changing parameter by changing the position and angle of the object Oj toward the infrared camera 34, and presses the shutter button 34a at an appropriate timing.

  When the shutter button 34a is pressed, the creating unit 15 adjusts the brightness of the background of the game according to the displayed parameter, and the display unit 18 displays the game with the adjusted background (step S34). . The game execution unit 9 draws the background of the time zone desired by the user, executes the desired game (step S22), and ends this process.

  For example, it is assumed that the user has taken a picture with the infrared camera 34 covered with a hand. At this time, the specifying unit 14 analyzes that the luminance is “low” from the captured image of the object Oj, and refers to the parameter table in which the luminance and the parameter are associated with each other. Identify the “darken background” parameter.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 11A, the background of the game to be executed becomes dark at one scene of the game, and a night scene can be obtained. Thereby, the atmosphere of a game can be changed. The story of the game may be changed corresponding to the night scene to give the user an unexpectedness of the game.

  In addition, for example, it is assumed that photographing is performed when the user changes the state in which the infrared camera 34 is covered with a hand from the state in which the hand is released. At this time, the specifying unit 14 analyzes that the luminance is “high” from the captured image of the object Oj, refers to the parameter table in which the luminance and the parameter are associated, and associates “ Identify the “lighten background” parameter.

  Thereby, as shown in FIG.11 (b) in the scene of a game, the background of the game performed becomes bright and it can be set as a daytime scene. Thereby, the atmosphere of a game can be changed. The game story may be changed according to the daytime scene.

  As described above, in the application example 1 of the present embodiment, the brightness of the photographed image is changed and changed by covering the infrared camera 34 with a hand or moving the hand away from the infrared camera 34. The background of the game can be changed from a parameter that changes according to the brightness.

  Note that, for example, when shooting is performed with the user releasing his hand from the infrared camera 34, shooting is performed in a daytime battle scene illustrated in FIG. 12A or with the infrared camera 34 covered with his hand. If performed, it may be a night scene between battles shown in FIG. The parameter may include not only the “degree of background brightness reflected in the game” but also information regarding the scene.

  The range of the attack color and the attack display may be changed based on the brightness of the image captured by the infrared camera 34 when the infrared camera 34 is covered with the hand and when the hand is released. .

[Game processing application example 2]
Next, application example 2 of the game processing according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an application example 2 of game processing according to an embodiment. When the imaging unit 12 captures the object Oj with the infrared camera 34 facing the hand of the object Oj (step S10), the specifying unit 14 changes the shape of the hand from the captured image of the object Oj. Analysis is performed (step S40). Next, the specifying unit 14 specifies a parameter associated with the analyzed shape with reference to a parameter table in which the shape and the parameter are associated with each other. (Step S42). Here, the parameter is “the shape of the image displayed in the game scene”, and the parameter is specified based only on the shape of the object Oj of the photographed image.

  Next, the display unit 18 displays the specified parameters (step S16). Next, the creating unit 15 determines whether or not the shutter button 34a has been pressed (step S18). When the shutter button 34a is not pressed by the user, the process returns to step 10 and the processes after step S10 are repeated.

  The user changes parameters by changing the position and angle of the hand of the object Oj facing the infrared camera 34 (the shape of the hand (for example, a piece) itself or a display in which the shape of the hand is converted into text or numerical values). Check the display. The user presses the shutter button 34a when a desired parameter is displayed.

  When the shutter button 34a is pressed, the creation unit 15 acquires an image of the character's hand according to the displayed parameters, and the display unit 18 reflects the acquired image of the hand in the game and displays the image ( Step S44). The game execution unit 9 executes a game reflecting the hand image (step S22), and ends the process.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 14A, it is assumed that the user hands a piece with the infrared camera 34 while the user pieces with the hand. At this time, the specifying unit 14 analyzes that the shape is “a piece-making hand” from the captured image of the object Oj, refers to the parameter table in which the shape and the parameter are associated, and is associated with the identified shape. Identify the "Catcher Peace Sign" parameter.

  Thereby, in one scene of the game, as shown in an example in FIG. 14B, the catcher sign R of the baseball game to be executed becomes a sign of a downward piece, whereby the pitcher throws in the baseball game. A sphere can be indicated. Thereby, it is possible to give the user a sense that the user is acting as a catcher and giving instructions to the pitcher.

[Application example 3 of game processing]
Next, application example 3 of the game processing according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating an application example 3 of game processing according to an embodiment. The parameter here is “a pose (movement) of a character displayed in a game scene”.
In the game sword scene, when the user poses the controller 1 as a sheath and tries to remove the sword contained in the sheath, the photographing unit 12 photographs the pose (step S10). Next, the specifying unit 14 analyzes the shape and brightness of the captured image (step S12). Next, the identifying unit 14 identifies a parameter associated with the identified shape and brightness with reference to a parameter table in which the shape and brightness are associated with the parameter. (Step S14). Note that only the luminance of the captured image may be analyzed, and the parameter may be specified from the luminance of the analysis result.

  Next, the display unit 18 displays the specified parameters (step S16). Next, the creating unit 15 determines whether or not the shutter button 34a has been pressed (step S18). When the shutter button 34a is not pressed by the user, the process returns to step 10 and the processes after step S10 are repeated.

  On the other hand, when the shutter button 34a is pressed, the creating unit 15 creates a character pose according to the displayed parameter (step S50). The display unit 18 displays the character with the created pose (step S52). The game execution unit 9 determines whether or not to end the pose (step S54). If it is determined to end, this process ends. If it is determined not to end, the process returns to step S10, and step S10. The subsequent processing is repeated.

  According to this, for example, as shown in FIG. 16A, with respect to the state of the character at the start, the user considers the controller 1 as a scabbard, and poses to pull out the sword whose blade is in the scabbard. The user's right hand is placed near the infrared camera 34. Thereby, the image which the infrared camera 34 image | photographs becomes a little dark. Therefore, by setting the parameter corresponding to the case where the luminance of the image is slightly dark in a pose as shown in FIG. 16B, an example is shown in FIG. As shown, the scene where the character poses can be expressed.

  The user perceives the controller 1 as a sheath, poses a sword whose blade is contained in the sheath, and then gradually releases the right hand from the controller 1 held in the left hand, the infrared camera 34 senses. The brightness changes from dark to bright.

  When the processing of steps S10 to S18, S50, and S52 is executed in this state, the displayed pose changes, for example, as shown in FIGS. 16 (b) to 16 (c) and 16 (d). . That is, when the user assumes the controller as a sheath and poses to gradually remove the blade from the sheath, the image captured by the infrared camera 34 gradually becomes brighter. As the brightness of the image increases, the corresponding parameter is set to a pose as shown in FIG. 16C or FIG. 16D, so that the character in FIG. It is possible to express a sword scene that gradually shifts from c) to the pose shown in FIG. Thereby, it is possible to give the user a feeling that the user himself becomes a samurai and fights using the sword.

  The embodiment, other examples, and application examples 1 to 3 have been described above. According to the game processing program and the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment, one of the different processes can be performed on one object.

  Although the game processing program and the information processing apparatus have been described in the above embodiment, the game processing program and the information processing apparatus according to the present invention are not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention. And improvements are possible. In addition, when there are a plurality of the above-described embodiments and modifications, they can be combined within a consistent range.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where a military commander character is created in the history simulation game has been described. However, the creation of the character is not limited to the military commander, and the pet's shooting position and shooting angle can be taken by shooting the user's pet. The parameters of the pet character appearing in the game can be specified according to the brightness at the time of shooting.

  A message may be set as a parameter in the parameter table 131. For example, when the user's “put thumb up” hand is photographed, a message “Wow!” Set as a parameter in the parameter table 131 may be displayed.
