N is an arbitrary integer). The video game processing server device 10 and the plurality of game terminal devices 20, 201 to 20N are each connected to a communication network 15 such as the Internet. The configuration of the video game processing system 100 is not limited to this. For example, a single game terminal device may be used by a plurality of players or a plurality of video game processing server devices may be provided. Further, the game terminal device may not be provided with the video game processing server device, and only the game terminal device may be configured.

The game system 100 has various functions of executing a live video game (game). The live state means to notify the user of the actual situation of the current game (game situation) by voice output or the like. In the game of the example of the present embodiment, a live commentary of the game is performed by voice output and voice subtitle (text) display.

Further, in the example of the present embodiment, the voice data of the subject and the predicate of the combination based on the game situation is selected as the voice commentary data from the plurality of voice data. Also, subtitle data of the subject and the predicate corresponding to the voice data of the subject and the predicate is selected. The plurality of voice data indicating the subject and the predicate may be stored in the storage unit of the terminal device 20, 201 to 20N, for example. Further, the subtitle data corresponding to the audio data may be stored in the storage unit of the terminal device 20, 201 to 20N, for example.

The server device 10 is managed by an administrator of the game system and has various functions for providing the user terminals 20, 201 to 20N with information regarding the progress of the game. In addition, in the example of the present embodiment, the server device 10 provides the information (playback control information and display system information) regarding the actual state of the game to the user terminals 20, 201 to 20N. In the example of the present embodiment, the server device 10 is configured by an information processing device such as a WWW server to provide information regarding the progress of a video game, and includes a database (storage unit) that stores various types of information.

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the server device 10A, which is an example of the configuration of the server device 10. The server device 10A includes a storage unit (not shown) such as an HDD and a control unit including a CPU, but the detailed description thereof is omitted. The server device 10A includes at least a generation unit 11 and an output control unit 12 by causing the control unit to execute software (game program) for controlling the progress of the video game stored in the storage unit. The game program also includes game data.

The generation unit (generation function) 11 generates the reproduction control information of the voice data of the subject and the predicate of the combination based on the game situation based on the live commentary data. That is, reproduction control information of the subject voice data and the predicate voice data is generated. The reproduction control information is information for executing reproduction of audio data, and includes, for example, information specifying audio data to be reproduced such as a file name. The game situation is specified based on, for example, a parameter that changes in the progress of the game. The live data is data in which the game situation and the live content are associated with each other. The live data may be included in the game data, for example.

Further, the generation unit 11 generates display control information of subtitle data corresponding to each of the subject and the predicate of the generated reproduction control information. That is, the display control information of the caption data corresponding to the audio data of the subject and the caption data corresponding to the audio data of the predicate is generated. The display control information is information for executing display of subtitle data, and includes, for example, information for specifying subtitle data to be displayed such as a file name. The generation unit 11 may generate the display control information of the caption data by referring to the information in which the audio data and the caption data are associated with each other, for example. The information in which the audio data and the subtitle data are associated with each other may be included in the game data, for example.

The output control unit (control function) 12 causes the voice output unit of the terminal device executing the game to reproduce and output the voice data of the subject and the predicate based on the reproduction control information as live voice data. Further, the output control unit 12 causes the subtitle data of the subject and the predicate based on the display control information to be simultaneously displayed as live subtitle data on the display unit of the terminal device that is executing the game, in accordance with the playback timing of the live voice data. .. That is, the subject subtitle data and the predicate subtitle data are displayed on the display unit at the same time, not in order.

The output control unit 12 causes the audio output unit and the display unit to reproduce the live audio data and the live caption data, for example, by transmitting the reproduction control information and the display control information to the terminal device that is executing the game. In this case, the terminal device that is executing the game acquires the audio data and the subtitle data corresponding to the live audio data and the live subtitle data from the storage unit based on the received playback control information and display control information, and performs the playback and the like. Just run it.

In the example of the present embodiment, the reproduction control information and the display control information are sent only to the terminal device of the user who is playing the game, but are sent to the terminal device that is running but not playing the game. May be. The terminal device that is executing the game but not playing the game corresponds to, for example, a watching user who watches the game being played by another user.

It should be noted that the live voice data means voice data selected from among the reproduction candidates (a plurality of voice data) or being reproduced. In addition, the live voice data may include a plurality of voice data of subject and predicate voice data. The live caption data means caption data that is displayed or is being displayed corresponding to the live audio data. In addition, the live caption data may include a plurality of caption data of subject and predicate caption data.

The terminal devices 20, 201 to 20N are managed by users (players) who play video games, and for example, video games such as stationary game devices, personal computers, mobile phone terminals, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), and portable game devices. Is configured by a terminal device capable of executing.

Each of the terminal devices 20, 201 to 20N includes an operation unit (touch panel, game pad, etc.) for executing a video game, a storage unit such as a hard disk drive, a CPU for executing a game to generate a game image, and the like. Although it is provided with a control unit configured, a display device (display unit) for displaying a game image, etc., a detailed description thereof is omitted because it has a general configuration. In addition, software (application program) for executing a video game is stored in the storage units of the terminal devices 20, 201 to 20N. The application program also includes game data such as the above-mentioned voice data.

Furthermore, the terminal devices 20, 201 to 20N include an audio output unit that reproduces audio data and outputs the audio data from a speaker. The audio output unit has an audio processor, an amplifier, a speaker and the like. The audio processor outputs audio obtained by decoding audio data (audio file) to the amplifier. The amplifier amplifies the audio signal and outputs it to the speaker.

The terminal devices 20, 201 to 20N generate reproduction control information and display control information for the above-mentioned game live condition, image generation information for generating a game image in the game space, and sound in the game space from the server device 10A. The voice generation information and the like are received, the game image is displayed on the display unit, and the voice output unit outputs each voice.

Next, the operation of the game system 100 (system 100) of this embodiment will be described.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the game progress processing executed by the system 100. In the progress process in the example of the present embodiment, a process for advancing the game including a process for outputting the audio content and displaying the subtitles according to the game situation is performed. Hereinafter, a case where the server device 10A and the terminal device 20 that executes the game execute the progress process will be described as an example. It should be noted that, in FIG. 3, the process for outputting the audio contents and displaying the subtitles according to the game situation is mainly described, and the other processes are partially omitted.

The progress process of the example of the present embodiment is executed, for example, when a user inputs a game start operation.

The server device 10A executes a progress process (not shown) for proceeding the game based on the user's operation information and the like received from the terminal device 20. For example, a process of causing the player character to perform an action such as moving or attacking is performed based on the operation information of the user. In one-time progress processing, for example, processing for generating a game image and sound for one frame is performed.

Next, the server device 10A executes a generation process (step S10). In the generation process, the reproduction control information of the voice data of the subject and the predicate of the combination based on the game situation is generated using the live commentary data. Further, in the generation process, display control information of subtitle data corresponding to each of the subject and the predicate of the reproduction control information is generated.

After that, the server device 10A executes an output process (step S11). In the output processing, processing for causing the terminal device 20 to output the live audio data and the live caption data is performed. Specifically, the generated reproduction control information and display control information are transmitted to the terminal device 20. In the output process, although not shown, image generation information for generating an image in the game space generated according to the result of the progress process, sound generation information for generating a sound in the game space, and the like are also transmitted. ..

On the other hand, the terminal device 20 outputs the game image and the sound based on the various information received from the server device 10A until the end of the game (step S51: YES) (step S50). As described above, the terminal device 20 acquires audio data (live voice data) and caption data (live caption data) based on the reproduction control information and the display control information from the storage unit. Then, the terminal device 20 outputs the live voice of the live voice data together with the voice of the effect from the speaker of the terminal device 20, and displays the game image including the text image of the live subtitle data on the display unit.

After that, the server device 10A determines whether or not the game is over (step S12). For example, the server device 10A may determine that the game is over when the ending condition such as when the game is cleared is satisfied. If not completed (step S12: NO), the server device 10A returns to the progress process that is executed before the generation process. On the other hand, if it has ended (step S12: YES), the server device 10A ends the game progress processing.

As described above, as one aspect of the first embodiment, since the server device 10 is configured to include the acquisition unit 11 and the output control unit 12, the voice data of the subject and the predicate are continuously reproduced. Then, the subtitle data of the subject and the predicate corresponding thereto are simultaneously displayed on the display unit. Therefore, after the subtitle data of the subject is displayed in synchronization with the playback timing of the audio data of the subject, there is no sequential display such that the subtitle data of the predicate is displayed in accordance with the playback timing of the audio data of the predicate. Is easier to read. Therefore, it is possible to concentrate on the play of the game while enjoying the game live condition.

In the example of the above-described embodiment, the server device includes the generation unit and the output control unit, but the terminal device may include all or a part of the generation unit and the output control unit. For example, in the case where the terminal device includes all of the generation unit and the output control unit, the terminal device may store the live data in the storage unit and receive the information necessary for determining the game situation from the server device. ..

Further, in the game system of the above-described embodiment, the server device controls the progress of the game, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the game system may include no server device. In this case, the terminal device included in the game system includes at least the generation unit and the output control unit, and controls the progress of the game while executing the game standalone.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the terminal device when executing the game progress processing shown in FIG. 3 in the game system not including the server device.

The terminal device executes a progress process (not shown) for advancing the game based on the user's operation information and the like. For example, a process of causing the player character to perform an action such as moving or attacking is performed based on the operation information of the user. In one-time progress processing, for example, processing for generating a game image and sound for one frame is performed.

Next, the terminal device executes a generation process (step S30). In the generation process, the reproduction control information of the voice data of the subject and the predicate of the combination based on the game situation is generated using the live commentary data. Further, in the generation process, display control information of subtitle data corresponding to each of the subject and the predicate of the reproduction control information is generated.

After that, the terminal device executes an output process (step S31). In the output process, a process for outputting live voice data and live caption data is performed. Specifically, the terminal device acquires audio data (live voice data) and caption data (live caption data) based on the reproduction control information and the display control information from the storage unit. Then, the terminal device outputs the live voice of the live voice data from the speaker of the terminal device along with the voice of the effect, and displays the game image including the text image of the live subtitle data on the display unit.

After that, the terminal device determines whether or not the game is over (step S32). If not completed (step S32: NO), the terminal device returns to the progress process that is executed before the generation process. On the other hand, when it has ended (step S32: YES), the terminal device ends the game progress processing.

Note that the above-mentioned "reproduction control information" is not limited to a configuration including information specifying audio data to be reproduced such as a file name. For example, the audio data itself may be included in the reproduction control information. Further, the “display control information” is not limited to the configuration including the information specifying the subtitle data to be displayed such as the file name. For example, the subtitle data itself may be included in the display control information. Furthermore, the reproduction control information and the display control information do not have to be separate information. For example, common control information that can specify both the audio data to be reproduced and the subtitle data to be displayed may be used.

The above-mentioned “audio data” is configured in an audio file format such as mp3 format. The reproduction of the above-mentioned live voice data may be performed by sequentially reproducing the voice data of the subject and the voice data of the predicate, or by generating and reproducing one data in which the voice data of the subject and the voice data of the predicate are combined. Good.

The above-mentioned "caption data" is configured in a text data format or the like, for example. In the reproduction of the live caption data described above, the caption data of the subject and the caption data of the predicate may be displayed at the same time, or one data obtained by combining the caption data of the subject and the caption data of the predicate may be generated and displayed. Good. Note that the subtitle data may not be stored in the storage unit as long as the data corresponding to the audio data can be acquired. For example, the voice recognition technology may be used to generate subtitle data from the voice data as text data.

The parameters of the game referred to as the above-mentioned game situation can be arbitrarily adopted as long as they are parameters that change with the progress of the game played by the user. For example, the above-mentioned parameters correspond to the score of the user's game, information on the user's game such as acquired items, and information on the vitality of the character operated by the user and the enemy character.

Further, for example, in a battle game in which an object of a base (crystal) is occupied, the number of bases occupied by the opponent and information of the occupants of the base also correspond to the above parameters. Specifically, when the setting of the occupant of the base is changed to the opponent, the voice data and the subtitle data of the subject and the predicate of "the enemy has occupied the crystal." The game situation in which the occupant of such a base is changed to an enemy and the live content corresponding to this game situation (“the enemy has occupied the crystal.”) are associated with the above-mentioned live data. The live content of the live data includes, for example, identification information for specifying audio data and subtitle data (see, for example, FIG. 11 ).

In addition, for example, the commentary "Enemy has occupied Crystal." is the subject voice data "Enemy" and the predicate voice data "Crystal has been occupied." Are played in order. From the start to the end of this playback, the subject subtitle data "enemy ga" and the predicate subtitle data "Crystal Occupied" are displayed in the display section at the same time as the subject and predicate (for example, , FIG. 9(A)).

The above-mentioned games may be games of any genre, such as action games, role-playing games, and breeding games, as long as the game is played live.

[Second Embodiment]
In the example of the present embodiment, a system 100B that is an example of the system 100 will be described. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a server device 10B which is an example of the server device 10. In this example, the server device 10B includes at least a generation unit 11 and an output control unit 12B.

The generation unit 11 generates reproduction control information of voice data of a subject and a predicate of a combination based on the game situation based on the live commentary data. Further, the generation unit 11 generates display control information of subtitle data corresponding to each of the subject and the predicate of the generated reproduction control information.

The output control unit 12B causes the voice output unit of the terminal device executing the game to reproduce and output the voice data of the subject and the predicate based on the reproduction control information as live voice data. Further, the output control unit 12B causes the subtitle data of the subject and the predicate based on the display control information to be simultaneously displayed as live subtitle data on the display unit of the terminal device that is executing the game, in accordance with the playback timing of the live voice data. ..

Further, when the reproduction of the live voice data is finished, the output control unit 12B of the example of the present embodiment starts the playback of the live voice data to be reproduced next, and the live caption data to be displayed next is displayed first. It is displayed on the display unit together with the live subtitle data.

For example, after the commentary content “The enemy has occupied the crystal.” illustrated in the first embodiment, the commentary content “It seems that allies have immediately regained it.” is played and displayed as commentary audio data and commentary subtitle data. The case will be described. First, the reproduction and display of "The enemy has occupied the crystal." Then, when the playback of "The enemy has occupied the crystal." is finished, the playback of the live voice data of "The ally seems to have regained immediately." is started, and the "Enemy is displayed earlier" is displayed. In addition to "The base A has been occupied.", "It seems that allies immediately regained it." is displayed. That is, the display of "the enemy has captured the crystal." is continued from the start to the end of the playback of the live voice data of "It seems that the ally has immediately regained it." Therefore, regarding the display of the live content, since the live content of the previous (previous) game is continuously displayed, it is easy to understand before and after the live content.

Next, the operation of the system 100B will be described.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the game progress processing executed by the system 100B. In the progress process in the example of the present embodiment, a process for advancing the game including a process for outputting the audio content and displaying the subtitles according to the game situation is performed. Hereinafter, a case where the server device 10B and the terminal device 20 that executes the game execute the progress process will be described as an example. It should be noted that in FIG. 6, the process for outputting the audio contents and displaying the subtitles according to the game situation will be mainly described, and the other processes will be partially omitted. The description of the flowchart showing the operation of the terminal device in the system having no server device is omitted from the viewpoint of avoiding duplicated description.

The progress process of the example of the present embodiment is executed, for example, when a user inputs a game start operation.

The server device 10B executes a progress process (not shown) for advancing the game based on the user's operation information and the like received from the terminal device 20. For example, a process of causing the player character to perform an action such as moving or attacking is performed based on the operation information of the user. In one-time progress processing, for example, processing for generating a game image and sound for one frame is performed.

Next, the server device 10B executes a generation process (step S10). In the generation process, the reproduction control information of the voice data of the subject and the predicate of the combination based on the game situation is generated using the live commentary data. Further, in the generation process, display control information of subtitle data corresponding to each of the subject and the predicate of the reproduction control information is generated.

After that, the server device 10B executes an output process (step S11-B). In the output processing, processing for causing the terminal device 20 to output the live audio data and the live caption data is performed. Specifically, the generated reproduction control information and display control information are transmitted to the terminal device 20. In the output process, although not shown, image generation information for generating an image in the game space generated according to the result of the progress process, sound generation information for generating a sound in the game space, and the like are also transmitted. ..

In the output processing, the server device 10B causes the display control information to display an instruction to display the live caption data to be displayed next together with the previously displayed live caption data on the display unit. Include and send. When always displaying the live caption data to be displayed next together with the live caption data previously displayed on the display unit, the above instruction may not be included in the display control information.

The terminal device 20 outputs a game image and a sound based on various information received from the server device 10A until the game ends (step S51: YES) (step S50). As described above, the terminal device 20 acquires audio data (live voice data) and caption data (live caption data) based on the reproduction control information and the display control information from the storage unit. Then, the terminal device 20 outputs the live voice of the live voice data together with the voice of the effect from the speaker of the terminal device 20, and displays the game image including the text image of the live subtitle data on the display unit.

In the example of the present embodiment, when the reproduction of the live voice data is completed based on the display control information, the terminal device 20 starts the playback of the live voice data to be played next and the live caption data to be displayed next. Is displayed on the display unit together with the live caption data previously displayed.

After that, the server device 10B determines whether or not the game is over (step S12). If not completed (step S12: NO), the server device 10B returns to the progress process that is executed before the generation process. On the other hand, when it has ended (step S12: YES), the server device 10B ends the game progress processing.

As described above, as one aspect of the second embodiment, since the server device 10B is configured to include the generation unit 11 and the output control unit 12B, the voice data of the subject and the predicate are continuously reproduced. Then, the subtitle data of the subject and the predicate corresponding thereto are simultaneously displayed on the display unit. Therefore, after the subtitle data of the subject is displayed in synchronization with the playback timing of the audio data of the subject, there is no sequential display such that the subtitle data of the predicate is displayed in accordance with the playback timing of the audio data of the predicate. Is easier to read. Therefore, it is possible to concentrate on the play of the game while enjoying the game live condition.

Also, when the playback of the live audio data is finished, the playback of the next live audio data to be played is started and the live closed caption data to be displayed next is displayed on the display part together with the live closed caption data previously displayed. As a result, it is easy to understand the context before and after the live content, and the caption data is easy to read.

In addition, in the example of the above-described embodiment, when the playback of the live voice data is finished, the playback of the live voice data to be played next is started, and the live live subtitle data to be displayed next is the live broadcast subtitle displayed first. Although it is displayed on the display unit together with the data, it may not always be displayed together. For example, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, it may be displayed together. Specifically, the predetermined condition is that the next live voice data is played back within a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) after the playback of the live voice data is completed. Further, for example, during reproduction of the live voice data, acquisition of voice data or the like to be reproduced next may be set as the predetermined condition. In this case, in the above-described generation processing, the voice data or the like to be reproduced next may be acquired during the reproduction of the live voice data.

In addition, in the example of the above-described embodiment, the live subtitle data to be displayed next is displayed on the display unit together with the live subtitle data that is displayed first, but the live subtitle data that is displayed first is displayed. May end earlier. Specifically, in the above example, "Enemy has captured the crystal." and "It seems that an ally has immediately regained it." Is also displayed, but the display of “The enemy has occupied the crystal.” may be ended earlier than “The ally seems to have immediately regained it.”

In the example of the above-described embodiment, the server device includes the generation unit and the output control unit, but the terminal device may include all or a part of the generation unit and the output control unit. For example, in the case where the terminal device includes all of the generation unit and the output control unit, the terminal device may store the live data in the storage unit and receive the information necessary for determining the game situation from the server device. .. Further, in the game system of the above-described embodiment, the server device controls the progress of the game, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the game system may include no server device.

[Third Embodiment]
FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a system 100C that is an example of the configuration of the system 100. The system 100C includes a server device 10C and a plurality of terminal devices 20C and 201C to 20NC (N is an arbitrary integer). The server device 10C and the plurality of terminal devices 20C and 201C to 20NC used by a plurality of users (players) playing the game are wirelessly connected to a communication network 15 such as the Internet.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game image displayed on the display unit of the terminal device 20C, which is an example of the terminal device 20. A game image including an image of the three-dimensional virtual space 50 centering on the player character PC of the user is displayed on the display unit of the terminal device of each user. Further, the game image includes the image of the subtitle display frame 60. The subtitle display frame 60 is displayed so as to be superimposed on the three-dimensional virtual space 50. In the caption display frame 60, the text of the live caption data is displayed.

The game of the example of the present embodiment is a battle game between team A and team B. One team is composed of multiple users. Each user operates his or her own player character PC to occupy objects at a plurality of bases existing in the three-dimensional virtual space 50 (game space) or to defeat the player character PC of the enemy team by attacking. In the competitive game, the victory or defeat of the team is determined by the number of occupied bases, the number of player characters of the defeated enemy team, and the like.

The player character PC is an object operated by the user. In the example of the present embodiment, a humanoid character is described, but, for example, a character imitating a humanoid character and an animal, a vehicle such as an automobile and an airplane, or a missile may be used as the player character.

In the example of this embodiment, the crystal 51 corresponds to a base object. When the player character PC attacks the crystal 51 and causes a predetermined amount of damage, the crystal 51 is occupied by the team to which the player character PC belongs. When the player character PC of the other team attacks the crystal 51 occupied by one team to cause a predetermined amount of damage, the crystal 51 is occupied by the other team. Become. Therefore, each team protects the crystal 51 occupied by its own team so as not to be taken by the opposing team (is not occupied), and the game is so as to allow the opposing team to take the crystal 51 occupied (capable). Can be advanced.

The user of each team can also grasp such a competition situation (game situation) by the game actual condition by voice output and subtitle display. The subtitles of the live game are displayed in the subtitle display frame 60. In the example of this embodiment, a live game is played for each team. That is, for each team, the content of the live condition for that team is notified.

In addition, in the example of the present embodiment, the main contents and the sub contents are included in the actual contents. The main live content is content selected based on the game status. The sub commentary content is a content that supplements the selected main commentary content. That is, the sub commentary contents are contents selected according to the main commentary contents.

Also, the main live content is the playback content of the audio data of a set of subject and predicate. That is, it becomes voice data of a set of subject and voice data of a predicate. On the other hand, the sub-contents of the actual condition are not limited to the combination of the subject and the predicate. Therefore, in the case of the main commentary content, one set of subject and predicate voice data corresponds to the commentary voice data, and one set of subject and predicate subtitle data corresponding to this commentary voice data corresponds to the commentary subtitle data.

In the example of the present embodiment, all the live caption data is displayed at once while the live audio data is being reproduced (outputting). That is, in the case of the main live content, one set of subject and predicate subtitle data is displayed at the same time.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9(A), during the playback of the main live commentary voice data “enemies” and “occupied the crystal.” However, the text images of both the subject and the predicate of "The crystal has been occupied." are displayed. That is, according to the reproduction of the audio data, not only the subtitle data "enemy ga" of the subject is displayed during the reproduction of the voice data "enemy ga" of the subject, but the subtitle data "enemy" of the subject and the predicate " The crystal has been occupied." is displayed at the same time.

Also, when the live voice data, which is the sub live content that is played next, is played back after the playback of the main live voice data that was previously played (previously) is finished, it is displayed first. The live subtitle data which is the sub live content is displayed while continuing to display the live subtitle data of the main live content.

For example, after the playback of the live voice data “enemy” and “occupy the crystal.” shown in FIG. It is very disadvantageous if you do not recapture the live commentary subtitle data, which is the sub live commentary, under the live commentary subtitle data "Enemy" and "Captured Crystal." Is displayed. That is, even during the reproduction of the sub live content, the text of the previous main live content is continuously displayed without being erased. Since the main live content and the sub live content supplementing the main live content are displayed together, it is easy for the user to grasp before and after the live content.

In the example of the present embodiment, the sub commentary content is determined at the timing of determining the main commentary content. However, if the game situation changes during the reproduction of the live voice data of the main live content, the playback of the sub live content is canceled. Then, the main live content is reproduced based on the changed game situation.

For example, during playback of the live voice data "enemy" and "occupied a crystal" shown in FIG. 9(A), the crystal occupied by the enemy team is immediately regained by one of the player character PCs of the own team. The case corresponds to the case where the game situation changes. As a result, the reproduction and the like of the sub-contents content shown in FIG. 9B (“It is very disadvantageous if not regained”) are canceled. Then, from the state shown in FIG. 9(A), the reproduction of the new main live commentary voice data "ally" and "apparently regained" is started. In addition, in addition, the new main live content, live subtitle data "ally is" and "it seems to have been regained immediately." is also displayed.

Therefore, in the state shown in FIG. 9A, if the game situation does not change, the state shifts to the state shown in FIG. 9B. However, in the state shown in FIG. 9A, when the game situation changes, the state shifts to the state shown in FIG. 9C.

In the above example, after the reproduction of the main live commentary voice data "ally ga" and "it seems to have been regained immediately.", as shown in FIG. 9D, the sub live commentary voice is displayed. Playback of data "Please move to the cover of another crystal." starts. In this case as well, under the live caption data "ally" and "it seems to have been regained immediately" that was displayed earlier, the live subtitle data "Please move to another crystal cover." Is displayed.

Next, returning to FIG. 7, the server device 10C will be described. The server device 10C is managed by the administrator of the game system and has various functions for providing the user terminals 20D and 201D to 20ND with information regarding the progress of the game. In the example of the present embodiment, the server device 10C provides the user terminals 20C and 201C to 20NC with information (playback control information and display system information) related to the game actual condition. In the example of the present embodiment, the server device 10C is configured by an information processing device such as a WWW server to provide information regarding the progress of the video game, and a database (storage) that stores various information such as user data regarding the game of each user. Section).

FIG. 10 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of a server device 10C, which is an example of the configuration of the server device 10. The server device 10C includes a storage unit (not shown) such as an HDD and a control unit including a CPU, but the detailed description thereof is omitted. The server device 10C includes at least the generation unit 11 and the output control unit 12 by causing the control unit to execute software (game program) for controlling the progress of the video game stored in the storage unit. The game program also includes game data.

The generation unit 11C generates the reproduction control information of the voice data of the subject and the predicate of the combination based on the game situation based on the main commentary data table as shown in FIG. The generation unit 11C also generates display control information of subtitle data corresponding to each of the subject and the predicate of the generated reproduction control information. In the example of the present embodiment, the reproduction control information and the display control information of the main live content are generated based on the main live data table. In the example of this embodiment, common control information is generated as the reproduction control information and the display control information.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the main live data table. The main live data table is composed of fields such as application conditions and main live content. In the applicable condition field, the condition of the game situation to be played is set. As the condition of the game situation, for example, a condition regarding a specific parameter that changes in the progress of the game is set. In addition, main application contents are associated with each applicable condition. Note that, in the field of the application condition shown in FIG. 11, a description showing the application status is described for convenience of description.

For example, the application status “occupy enemy team” shown in FIG. 11 indicates a case where the occupied state of any crystal 51 in the three-dimensional virtual space 50 is changed to the enemy team. Specifically, the change of the parameter of the occupied team of each crystal 51 is set as the application condition. Note that the configuration for specifying the actual content of the game situation using the parameter is general, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Next, in the main commentary content field, identification information (actual commentary ID) that identifies the main commentary content is set. Specifically, a set of subject IDs and subject IDs of predicates is set. In addition, a plurality of sets of subject IDs and predicate commentary IDs may be set for one game situation (application condition). For example, with respect to the application condition “occupy the enemy team” shown in FIG. 11, three sets of subject IDs and subject predicate IDs are set. In this case, one set of the subject live ID and the predicate live ID is randomly selected from a plurality of sets of subject live IDs and predicate live IDs.

It should be noted that, for convenience of explanation, a part of the field of the live content shown in FIG. 11 describes the live content. In addition, the voice data and subtitle data of the live content corresponding to the above live ID is specified using the data acquisition table shown in FIG. 16. Details will be described later.

Further, the generation unit 11C selects the sub commentary content based on the commentary IDs of the set of subject and predicate selected in the main commentary data table. Specifically, the sub live data table is used for selection.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of the sub live data table. The sub commentary data table is composed of fields such as main commentary contents and sub commentary contents. In the main live content field, a live ID of a set of subject and predicate is set. The sub live content is associated with each main live content. In the field of the sub live content, identification information (live ID) for identifying the sub live content supplementing the main live content (live ID of a set of subject and predicate) is set.

For example, when a set of the subject's commentary ID: MS-001 and the predicate's commentary ID: MP-001 indicating "the enemy has occupied the crystal." is selected, the sub commentary content is " It is very disadvantageous if it is not retaken.” The live comment ID: S-001 is selected. If there is no sub ID corresponding to the live ID of the selected set of subject and predicate, the live content of the sub is not selected.

Then, the generation unit 11C registers the acquired main live content (live ID) and sub live content (live ID) in the management table. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the management table. Control information of audio data and caption data for each team is set in the management table. That is, the management table is stored in the storage unit of the server device 10C for each team. In the example of this embodiment, since there are two teams in one battle game, two management tables are generated.

The management table is composed of fields such as management number, main, sub and reproduction status. A management number is set in the management number field. Each management number is associated with main, sub, and reproduction status. In the main field, a live ID of a set of subject and predicate, which is the main live content, is set. In the sub field, a live commentary ID, which is the sub live commentary corresponding to the main live commentary, is set.

In the playback status field, the playback status of the main live content and the sub live content is set. In the field of the reproduction status, for example, a numerical value of 1: before reproduction, 2: during reproduction of main live content, 3: during playback of sub live content, 4: end of playback of main and sub live content is set. It The information received from the terminal devices 20C and 201C to 20NC is set as the reproduction status. Since each terminal device belonging to the same team reproduces the live content at the same timing, for example, the reproduction status may be received from one terminal device belonging to the team.

In the example of the present embodiment, the execution ID registered in the main field of the management table becomes the control information of the main live content. In addition, the execution ID registered in the sub field of the management table becomes the control information of the sub content. Then, each control information corresponds to both reproduction control information of audio data and display control information of caption data.

Further, in the example of the present embodiment, the live content of the management number: 1 is reproduced first. Specifically, the order is the main live content of management number: 1, the sub live content of management number: 1, and the main live content of management number: 2. Therefore, the reproduction status of the management number: 2 is always set to 1: before reproduction. Furthermore, in the example of the present embodiment, the generation unit 11C does not register new live content in the management table when two main live content are registered in the management table.

In addition, the generation unit 11C may erase (cancel) the sub live ID registered in the management table. Specifically, when the live content currently being reproduced is the main live content and the main live content is newly registered in the management table (management number: 2), the sub-execution of the management number: 1 is executed. The registered content of the ID is deleted.

For example, in the state shown in FIG. 13, the main live content illustrated in FIG. 9A is in the state of being reproduced. In this case, if "allied team" "reclaimed Crystal immediately" (MS-008, MP-008) is registered in the management table (management number: 2) due to changes in the game situation, management The sub execution ID: S-001 of the table (management number: 1) is deleted. As a result, the state shown in FIG. 9A shifts to the state shown in FIG. 9C.

Next, the output control unit 12C causes the voice output unit of the terminal device executing the game to reproduce and output the voice data of the subject and the predicate based on the reproduction control information as the live voice data. In addition, the output control unit 12C simultaneously displays the subtitle data of the subject and the predicate based on the display control information as live subtitle data on the display unit of the terminal device that is executing the game in synchronization with the output timing of the live voice data. Let

In the example of the present embodiment, the output control unit 12C transmits the main execution ID of the management number 1 in the management table as control information 1 (reproduction control information and display control information) to the terminal device that executes the game. In this case, the information is transmitted to the terminal device of each user who belongs to the team corresponding to the management table. In addition to the control information including the main execution ID described above, the output control unit 12C also sets the control information including the sub execution ID of the management number of the management table: 1 as the control information to be reproduced next. It is transmitted to the terminal device to be executed. That is, the output control unit 12C transmits the control information of the main live content and the control information of the sub live content to the terminal device that executes the game.

If the sub execution ID does not exist, for example, information without setting may be transmitted as the control information of the sub content status. Further, the control information of the main live content and the control information of the sub live content need not be transmitted together to the terminal device. In this case, the terminal device may identify the main live content or the sub live content from the execution ID.

In addition, the output control unit 12C also transmits the cancellation information of the control information of the sub live condition content to the terminal device that executes the game. The cancellation information includes the actual content (execution ID) of the sub to be canceled and information indicating the cancellation.

Next, the terminal devices 20C and 201C to 20NC will be described. The terminal devices 20C and 201C to 20NC are managed by a user (player) who plays a video game, and for example, video games such as stationary game devices, personal computers, mobile phone terminals, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), and portable game devices. Is configured by a terminal device capable of executing.

Each of the terminal devices 20C and 201C to 20NC includes an operation unit (touch panel, game pad, etc.) for executing a video game, a storage unit such as a hard disk drive, a CPU for executing a game to generate a game image, and the like. Although it is provided with a control unit configured, a display device (display unit) for displaying a game image, etc., a detailed description thereof is omitted because it has a general configuration. Further, in the terminal devices 20C and 201C to 20NC, software (application program) for executing a video game is stored in the storage unit. Note that the application program also includes game data such as a data acquisition table, audio data, and subtitle data.

Furthermore, the terminal devices 20C and 201C to 20NC include an audio output unit that reproduces audio data and outputs the audio data from a speaker. The audio output unit has an audio processor, an amplifier, a speaker and the like. The audio processor outputs audio obtained by decoding audio data (audio file) to the amplifier. The amplifier amplifies the audio signal and outputs it to the speaker.

The terminal devices 20C and 201C to 20NC are the reproduction control information and the display control information (control information) for the above-mentioned game live from the server device 10C, the image generation information for generating the game image of the game space, and the sound of the game space. The voice generation information or the like for generating the is received, the game image is displayed on the display unit, and each voice is output by the voice output unit.

FIG. 14 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the game terminal device 20C. The game terminal device 20C includes at least a game execution unit 21C for executing a game by the control unit executing the game program stored in the storage unit. Since the other game terminal devices 201C to 20NC have the same configuration, the description thereof is omitted here.

The game execution unit 21C executes the game based on the information about the game received from the server device 10C. For example, the game execution unit 21C generates a game image based on the game image generation information, the voice generation information and the like and outputs the voice, and also transmits the user operation information and the like to the server device 10C. In addition, the game execution unit 21C acquires audio data and subtitle data from the storage unit based on the control information (reproduction control information and display control information) received from the server device 10C, and executes reproduction of the live content.

When the game execution unit 21C receives the control information of the main live content and the control information of the sub live content from the server device 10C, it registers in the management table as shown in FIG. The management table is composed of fields such as main and sub. In the main field, the main execution ID of the management number: 1 in the management table of the server device 10C of FIG. 13 is set. In the sub field, the sub execution ID of the management number: 1 in the management table of the server device 10C of FIG. 13 is set.

Next, the game execution unit 21C acquires audio data and subtitle data based on the main execution ID of the management table, using the data acquisition table shown in FIG. Then, the acquired audio data and caption data are reproduced as the live audio data and the live caption data as illustrated in FIG. 9A. Further, after the reproduction is finished, the audio data and the caption data based on the sub execution ID of the management table are acquired and reproduced as the live audio data and the live caption data. In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 9B, the live caption data previously displayed is also continuously displayed.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the data acquisition table. The data acquisition table is composed of fields such as a live broadcast ID, voice, and subtitles. In the field of the live comment ID, identification information (real comment ID) that specifies the above-mentioned live commentary is set. Audio data and subtitle data are associated with each live-action ID. The file name of the voice data corresponding to the live broadcast ID is set in the voice data field. In the subtitle data field, a file name of subtitle data corresponding to the live ID is set. The data acquisition table is stored in the storage units of the terminal devices 20C and 201C to 20NC.

In addition, when the game execution unit 21C receives the cancellation information from the server device 10C, the game execution unit 21C deletes the sub execution ID of the management table. As a result, for example, the state shown in FIG. 9A shifts to the state shown in FIG. 9C instead of the state shown in FIG. 9B.

Next, the operation of the system 100C of this embodiment will be described.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of the game progress processing executed by the system 100C. In the progress process in the example of the present embodiment, a process for advancing the game including a process for outputting the audio content and displaying the subtitles according to the game situation is performed. Hereinafter, a case where the server device 10C and the terminal device 20C that executes the game execute the progress process will be described as an example. The terminal device 20C is used by, for example, a player (player character PC) belonging to one team of the competitive game.

Note that, in FIG. 17, a process for outputting the audio contents and displaying subtitles according to the game situation will be mainly described, and the other processes will be partially omitted. The description of the flowchart showing the operation of the terminal device in the system having no server device is omitted from the viewpoint of avoiding duplicated description.

The progress process of the example of the present embodiment is executed, for example, when a user inputs a game start operation.

The terminal device 20C periodically transmits the operation information of the user, the reproduction status of the live content, and the like to the server device 20C together with the identification information of the user. The server device 10C executes a progress process (not shown) for proceeding the game based on the user's operation information and the like received from the terminal device 20C. For example, a process of causing the player character to perform an action such as moving or attacking is performed based on the operation information of the user. In one-time progress processing, for example, processing for generating a game image and sound for one frame is performed. The server device 10C determines the team to which the user belongs based on the identification information of the user.

Next, the server device 10C executes a generation process (step S10-C). In the generation process, the control information of the main live content and the sub live content is generated based on the game situation. In the example of this embodiment, the generation process (step S10-C) includes steps S10-1C to S10-6C.

The server device 10C first executes the management table update process illustrated in FIG. 13 (step S10-1C). Specifically, the server device 10C updates the reproduction status of the management table (management number: 1) based on the reproduction status of the live content received from the terminal device 20C. The management table is a management table of the team to which the user of the terminal device 20C belongs. The playback status of the live content includes a status of playback during playback and a status of playback end in association with the execution ID. Further, when the reproduction status of the management table is 4: reproduction end, the server device 10C deletes all the setting information of the management number: 1. Then, when the execution ID is registered in the management number: 2, each setting information of the management number: 2 is moved to the management number: 1.

In the example of the present embodiment, the reproduction status of the management table is updated based on the reception information of the terminal device 20C, but based on the reproduction status of all the terminal devices of the users who belong to the same team as the terminal device 20C. The management table may be updated.

Next, the server device 10C determines whether or not new live content has occurred (step S10-2C). That is, it is determined whether or not the game situation has changed and new live content to be played back has occurred. Specifically, the server device 10C determines whether or not there is a game situation that matches the application condition of the main live data table illustrated in FIG. When the new commentary content has not occurred (step S10-2C: NO), the server device 10C proceeds to the process of step S11-C.

On the other hand, if new commentary content has occurred (step S10-2C: YES), the server device 10C determines whether or not the number of registrations in the management table is the maximum (step S10-3C). In addition, in the example of the present embodiment, the maximum number of registrations of the main live content is 2, but the number of registrations can be set arbitrarily. When the number of registrations in the management table is maximum (step S10-3C: YES), the server device 10C proceeds to the process of step S11-C.

On the other hand, when there is a vacancy in the number of registrations in the management table (step S10-3C: NO), the server device 10C determines whether or not the main live content is being reproduced (step S10-4C). Specifically, it is determined from the reproduction status of the management number: 1 in the team management table. When the main live content is not being reproduced (step S10-4C: NO), the server device 10C proceeds to the process of step S10-6C.

On the other hand, when the main live content is being reproduced (step S10-4C: YES), the server device 10C executes cancel processing (step S10-5C). Specifically, the sub setting information of the management table (management number: 1) is deleted. In addition, the cancellation information described above is generated.

After that, the server device 10C executes a registration process (step S10C-6C). In the registration process, new live content is registered in the management table. Specifically, the execution IDs of a set of subject and predicate selected from the main live data table are set to the vacant main in the management table. In addition, the execution IDs associated with the execution IDs of the set of subject and predicate from the sub live data table are also set to the sub corresponding to the main.

After that, the server device 10C executes an output process (step S11-C). In the output processing, processing for causing the terminal device 20 to output the live audio data and the live caption data is performed. Specifically, when the reproduction status of the management number: 1 in the management table is the status before the reproduction, the server apparatus 10C transmits the execution IDs set to the main and the sub to the terminal apparatus 20C as the control information. The server device 10C also transmits the same information to the terminal device of the same team as the user of the terminal device 20C.

Further, in the output process, the server device 10C transmits the cancellation information generated in the process of step S10-5C described above to the terminal device 20C. In the output process, although not shown, image generation information for generating an image in the game space generated according to the result of the progress process, sound generation information for generating a sound in the game space, and the like are also transmitted. ..

On the other hand, the terminal device 20C performs an execution process of executing a game based on various information received from the server device 10C (step S40-C). In the execution process, as described above, a game image or the like is generated based on the game image generation information, the sound generation information, or the like, and the user operation information, the reproduction status of the live content, or the like is transmitted to the server 10C. Further, the setting information of the management table illustrated in FIG. 15 is updated based on the control information (reproduction control information and display control information) received from the server device 10C, and the audio data and the subtitle data are acquired from the storage unit and the live content is displayed. Playback or the like is executed.

Then, the terminal device 20C outputs the game image and the sound based on the result of the execution process (step S50-C). Next, the terminal device 20C determines whether or not the game is over (step S51-C). For example, it is determined that the game is over when the user performs an operation for ending the game. If not completed (step S51-C: NO), the terminal device 20C returns to the execution process of step S40-C. On the other hand, when it has ended (step S51-C: YES), the terminal device 20C ends the execution of the game.

Further, the server device 10C determines whether or not the game is over (step S12-C). If not completed (step S12-C: NO), the server device 10C returns to the progress process that is executed before the generation process. On the other hand, if it has ended (step S12-C: YES), the server device 10C ends the game progress processing.

In the process shown in FIG. 17, the game actual condition for the team of the user of the terminal device 20C has been described, but the same process is performed for the team of the user of the terminal device 20C.

As described above, as one aspect of the third embodiment, since the server device 10C is configured to include the generation unit 11C and the output control unit 12C, the voice data of the subject and the predicate are continuously reproduced. Then, the subtitle data of the subject and the predicate corresponding thereto are simultaneously displayed on the display unit. Therefore, after the subtitle data of the subject is displayed in synchronization with the playback timing of the audio data of the subject, there is no sequential display such that the subtitle data of the predicate is displayed in accordance with the playback timing of the audio data of the predicate. Is easier to read. Therefore, it is possible to concentrate on the play of the game while enjoying the game live condition.

In addition, when the playback of the main commentary content is finished, the playback of the sub commentary content to be played next is started, and the commentary data of the sub commentary content is displayed first. Since it is displayed on the display unit together with the subtitle data, it is easy to understand the context before and after the live content, and the subtitle data becomes easier to read.

In the example of the above-described embodiment, the sub commentary contents are displayed together with the main commentary contents described above, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this. For example, depending on the establishment of the predetermined condition, the live content to be displayed may be displayed together with the previous live content. Specifically, the predetermined condition is that the next live voice data is played back within a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) after the playback of the live voice data is completed. In this case, the terminal device may determine that the predetermined condition is satisfied. Further, for example, during playback of live voice data, the presence of voice data or the like to be played next may be a predetermined condition. For example, when the actual content is set to the management number: 2 in the management table of the server device, it may be determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied. In this case, the server device may determine that the predetermined condition is satisfied, and send information to the terminal device to instruct to display the live content to be displayed together with the previous live content.

In the example of the above-described embodiment, the determination of the sub-execution content (execution ID) is performed at the same time as the determination of the main live content (execution ID), but the determination timing is not limited to this. At least, it may be decided by the end of reproduction in the main live condition.

In the example of the above-described embodiment, the sub commentary content is selected according to the main commentary content, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this. For example, instead of selecting the sub commentary contents, the commentary contents may all be selected based on the game situation.

In the example of the above-described embodiment, the live subtitle data to be displayed next (sub live content) and the live subtitle data displayed earlier (main live content) have the same timing (audio data of sub live content). However, for example, the display of the previously displayed live caption data (main live content) may be ended earlier.

In the example of the above-described embodiment, the voice data of the subject and the predicate of the combination based on the game situation is selected as the main commentary content, but the commentary content may not be the combination of the subject and the predicate. For example, the configuration may be such that one audio data or the like is selected. Further, for example, a configuration in which a plurality of voice data are combined may be selected regardless of the subject and the predicate. In this case, a plurality of subtitle data corresponding to a plurality of selected audio data may be displayed simultaneously.

In the example of the above-described embodiment, the sub-live commentary has a configuration in which a combination of voice data of the subject and the predicate is not selected, but is not particularly limited thereto. For example, the voice data of the subject and the predicate that are combined based on the main commentary content may be used as the sub commentary content.

In the example of the above-described embodiment, the main commentary content and the sub commentary content are configured to notify the game situation, but the present invention is not particularly limited thereto. Informational hints may be included in the live commentary to advance the game favorably. In this case, for example, a hint is set for the sub-contents of the live condition. For example, after the main live commentary “The enemy has captured the crystal.” is played, the hint that leads to the victory of “No crystal has been captured on the hill.” is played. As described above, the sub content of the live condition may be set.

In the example of the above-described embodiment, the control information including the execution ID is transmitted to the terminal device, but it is not particularly limited to this. For example, audio data and subtitle data may be transmitted to the terminal device as control information.

In the example of the above-described embodiment, the subtitle data is stored in the storage unit of the terminal device in advance, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, text data may be generated from live voice data using a voice recognition technique, and the text data may be used as subtitle data. In this case, for example, the terminal device or the server device may function as a caption generation unit (caption generation function) that generates caption data.

In the example of the above-described embodiment, the control information (playback control information and display control information) is sent only to the terminal device of the user who is playing the game, but the terminal device that is running but not playing the game. May be sent to. The terminal device that is executing the game but not playing the game corresponds to, for example, a watching user who watches the game being played by another user. In this case, the live condition data for the watching user may be stored in the storage unit, and the above-described steps S10-C and S11-C may be executed for the watching user.

In the example of the above-described embodiment, the server device includes the generation unit and the output control unit, but the terminal device may include all or a part of the generation unit and the output control unit. For example, when the terminal device is configured to include all of the generation unit and the output control unit, the terminal device stores the main commentary data and the sub commentary data in the storage unit, and the information necessary for determining the game situation from the server device. Should be received. Further, in the game system of the above-described embodiment, the server device controls the progress of the game, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the game system may include no server device.
