Description

  The present invention relates to an animation playback apparatus and animation playback program for playing back and displaying animation.

Animation playback using a computer does not create and play frame image data of all frames necessary for playback in time series in advance, but rather frames at key times, so-called key frames of key frames Only the image data is created in advance, and based on the key frame image data, the frame image data of the frame that should be between the key frames is generated in real time to reproduce the animation.
The frame image data is image data displayed on the display unit at a specific time, and is still image data. By connecting and displaying frame image data that changes with time, a still image becomes a moving image and an animation is reproduced.
The key frame image data is image data of a so-called key frame at a key time. In animation reproduction using key frame image data, all still image data necessary for animation reproduction, so-called all necessary frame image data. There is no need to create in advance. In animation playback using key frame image data, only the key frame image data is created in advance, and the frame image data of the frame that should be between the key frames is displayed as key frame image data before and after the frame image data. Based on the above, a predetermined complementary operation is performed to create, display and reproduce.
Further, the key frame image data is still image data like the frame image data, and is implemented by information including information for specifying the reproduction time and graphic information for specifying the graphic displayed in the frame at the reproduction time. There is also.

In the conventional method using key frame image information, animation reproduction is realized by repeating the following (1) to (5).
(1) A plurality of key frame information is prepared in advance in a storage unit such as a memory.
(2) The current display time is acquired.
(3) Select two pieces of key frame image information before and after the current display time.
(4) A predetermined complementary operation is performed between the drawing information included in the two key frame image information, and graphic information to be displayed at the current display time is created.
(5) The graphic information to be displayed at the current display time created is displayed as frame image information.
However, the prior art is configured as described above, and it is necessary to create and store all key frame image information necessary for reproduction in animation reproduction.
For this reason, it is necessary to create and store all key frame image information necessary for animation reproduction, resulting in a problem that the storage capacity increases. In addition, when a change such as a change in the playback start time of a specific object or an addition of an object to be played occurs, it is necessary to change all the key frame image information of the target time related to the specific object to be changed. It is necessary to change all the key frame image information of the target time related to the object to be changed, and there is a problem that it is not easy to change or add.

In S (step) 1, the time management unit 2 of the animation playback device 1 initializes a reference timer used as a reference time for animation playback.
In S2, the time management unit 2 calls the reference timer and sets the current time.
In S3, the start time that is the object operation start time and the end time that is the object operation end time for each object shown on the animation calculation table in the animation effect table target object determination unit 3 and the current time of the reference timer of the time management unit 2 Compare time. If the Start time and End time of an object, for example, Object A, is “Start time ≦ Current time <End time”, that is, if the current time is within the range of Start time and End time, then object A is in the time zone to operate. Judgment is made and the object is determined. If the current time of the object A is outside the range of “Start time ≦ current time <End time”, that is, if the current time is outside the range of the Start time and End time, it is determined that the object A is not in a time zone in which to operate, It is determined that the object A is not a target object to be reproduced.

If it is determined in S3 that the animation effect table target object determination unit 3 has an object such as the object A that is not a target object, the process goes to S9.
When it is determined in S3 that the animation effect table target object determination unit 3 has an object, for example, object A, as the target object, the information format decoding unit 4 of the target object is in the object information of the object A in the animation effect table in S4. The basic operation identification information is decoded to clarify the object information format of the object A that indicates which information is in what data format.

In S5, the object position determination unit 5 calculates the position of the object A at the current time using the object information of the object A in the animation presentation table based on the object information format of the object A, for example, the object A clarified in S4. To set or determine.

In S6, based on the object information format of a certain object clarified in S4, for example, the object A, the object selection unit 6 selects and determines the object at the current time using the object information of the object A in the animation effect table.

In S7, based on the object information format of a certain object clarified in S4, for example, object A, the scaling setting unit 7 uses the object information of object A to set the scaling value of the object selected in S6 at the current time. Set.

In S8, the position information, the selected object information, and the enlargement / reduction value information of the selected object set or determined in S5, S6, and S7 are stored in the image processing table at the current time. As the information of A, the image processing table generating unit 8 writes and adds the information.
The target objects are sequentially added to the image processing table, for example, objects A, B, C, and D.

In S9, the target object processing completion determination unit 9 determines whether the processing has been completed for all the objects in the animation effect table at the current time.

If it is determined in S9 that the processing has not been completed for all the objects in the animation effect table, the process returns to S3.
By repeating S3 to S9 for the target object, the position information, the selected object information, and the enlargement / reduction value information for each object of the target object are sequentially obtained in S8, for example, objects A, B, C, and D. Added to the image processing table.

When it is determined in S9 that the processing has been completed for all the objects in the animation effect table, in S10, the image processing unit 10 uses each of the image processing tables based on the image processing table generated in S8 at the current time. For each object, object reference information such as object image data is read from the storage unit 12, the object is enlarged or reduced according to the enlargement / reduction value, and display image data is generated according to the position information. Similarly, display image data is sequentially generated for all objects in the image processing table, and the generated display image data is sequentially combined to generate animation image data at the current time of the reference timer of the time management unit 2 To do.

In S11, the image processing unit 10 transmits the animation image data generated in S10 at the current time to the display unit 11, and the display unit 11 displays the animation image data.

In S12, the current time is compared with the reproduction time of the animation effect table. If the current time does not satisfy the reproduction time, the process returns to S2.
In S12, the current time is compared with the reproduction time of the animation effect table, and if the current time has reached the reproduction time, the process ends.
Note that the playback time indicates the time at which animation playback ends, and may be the latest End time set in the animation performance table, or it can be set for general use so that the playback time can be set separately in the animation performance table. May be.
Further, the current time of the reference timer may be the specific reproduction time or may be used in the same manner.

For example, the motion-specific information is the start point coordinates when stationary, and the object-type specific information is a display switching table pointer in the case of a display switching object. The reference X and reference Y are two-dimensional, but they may be increased in three dimensions or n dimensions. Furthermore, the basic operation work is set as the work area in the animation effect table, but it is not necessary to have the work on the animation effect table, and a temporary or dedicated work area may be provided separately.
In addition, although the operations shown as stationary, linear movement, and broken line movement are shown, other movements such as stationary broken line movement, ROUND movement, mapping, that is, XY mapping, circular movement, elliptical movement, zigzag movement, etc. are newly added, and It may be changed.

Here, the linear count work value is used to calculate a position coordinate at the current time by setting a start time and obtaining a difference from the current time. Note that one second may be displayed as a count instead of a second, such as 60 counts.
The display switching table index value indicates the column number of the table in the display switching table. The display switching count work value is set, for example, as a start time as an initial value, and the display switching count time in the display switching table is sequentially added and set, and which object information in the display switching table is displayed at the current time from the difference from the current time. Used to determine object information.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a data format obtained by extending the data format of the animation effect table of FIG. An example is shown in which the number of combinations of “motion” and “object type” in the basic motion identification information in the animation performance table can be increased. As an extension, for the basic motion identification information, a combination of “stationary / display switching / enlarging / reducing object”, “straight line moving / display switching / enlarging / reducing object”, and “folding line moving / display switching / enlarging / reducing object” is shown. Further expansion is possible, and further combinations can be realized by further adding “action” and “object type”.

The basic motion identification information of the animation effect table may be anything that can identify character information, numbers, alphabets, and the like. As an example, a case where an identification number is used will be described.
An identification number such as “001” is associated with “still / single object”, and “001” is set in the basic identification information “still / single object” of the animation effect table. When the data format shown in the data format instruction diagram of the animation presentation table in FIG. 6 is decoded by the information format decoding unit 4 of the target object based on the basic identification information of the animation presentation table, the identification number of the basic identification information 7 is set in advance, for example, “001” is “stationary / single object” and the data format is decoded.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of an expanded correspondence diagram between identification numbers and contents in the basic identification information of FIG. FIG. 7 shows “010” and “stationary / display switching / enlarging / reducing object”, “011” and “linear movement / display switching / enlarging / reducing object”, and “012” and “folding line moving / display switching / enlarging / reducing object”. An example added to is shown below. Here, three terms are added, but any number of combinations of “operation” and “object type” may be added as necessary.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a broken line table. The broken line table includes an index indicating a column number of the table, position coordinates corresponding to each index, and a broken line count time. For example, with respect to the index 1, an operation is shown in which the object is evenly moved from the position 1 to the position 2, that is, the position information of the index 2 with the broken line count time 1. A polygonal line table, that is, a polygonal line table defines movement of an object using a polygonal line. For example, in the basic motion identification information “moving line / single object” in the data format instruction diagram of the animation effect table in FIG. 5, the motion unique information is “polyline table pointer”, and the storage location indicated by “polyline table pointer” There is a broken line table, and the single object indicated in the “single object information” of the object type specific information indicates that the broken line moves according to the broken line table.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the display switching table. The display switching table includes an index indicating a column number of the table, object information corresponding to each index, and a display switching count time. The object information is information that can specify the object to be displayed, and the display switching count time indicates the time for displaying the object information.

FIG. 11 shows an example of the enlargement / reduction table. The enlargement / reduction table includes an index indicating a column number of the table, an enlargement / reduction value corresponding to each index, and an enlargement / reduction count time. The enlargement / reduction value indicates a multiple such as 1 ×, 2 ×, 4 ×, or 1/2 ×, and the enlargement / reduction count value indicates the time for enlargement / reduction. For example, an index of 1 indicates that the object is uniformly changed with an enlargement / reduction count value of 1 from an enlargement / reduction value of 1 to an enlargement / reduction value of 2.

According to the operation instruction information instructed in the tables of FIGS. 9, 10, and 11, the position of the object at the specific reproduction time, the selection of the object, and the enlargement / reduction value setting of the selected object are performed.
Although a dummy index is added to each table in FIGS. 9, 10, and 11, it may not be necessary if it is not necessary in the operation definition.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an internal configuration of the object position determination unit 5 of FIG.
The object position determination unit 5 obtains the position coordinates of the object at the specific reproduction time using the information of the animation effect table.

The object position determination unit 5 in FIG. 1 includes a position calculation unit 122 that calculates the position coordinates of the target object at a specific playback time, and an effect table position calculation parameter reading unit that reads parameters necessary for position calculation of the target object from the animation effect table. 121, the position calculation unit 122 includes a stationary position calculation unit 1221 that calculates a position related to a stationary operation for each operation, a linear movement position calculation unit 1222 that calculates position coordinates related to a linear movement operation, and a broken line movement operation. A broken line movement position calculation unit 1223 for calculating the position coordinates is provided. Note that although three types of motion, stationary, straight line movement, and broken line movement, have been described, the type of movement may be increased, and the position of the target object may be calculated more generally.

Next, the operation of the object position determination unit 5 will be described.
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the target object position calculation processing.

In S171, parameters necessary for setting the display position of the object are read from the animation effect table according to the basic motion identification information of the animation effect table. Specifically, the effect table position calculation parameter reading unit 121 reads parameters necessary for calculating the position of the target object from the animation effect table.

In S172, according to the basic motion identification information in the animation effect table, the motion is divided into three types, stationary, straight line, and broken line, and the position coordinates are calculated and set based on the preset position calculation formula and the parameters read in S171. Specifically, the position calculation unit 122 selects the stationary position calculation unit 1221 if it is stationary, the straight line position calculation unit 1222 if it is a straight line, or the broken line position calculation unit 1223 if it is a broken line, depending on the operation. Calculation is performed using parameters necessary for position calculation read by the parameter reading unit 121, and position coordinates are set.

When the operation is stationary, for example, the display position is obtained by the following calculation formula as an example.
Still display position = start point + reference position.
That is, the display position X coordinate = start point X coordinate + reference X.
Display position Y coordinate = starting Y coordinate + reference Y

When the movement is a straight line, for example, the display position is obtained by the following calculation formula as an example.
Straight line display position = start point coordinate + (end point coordinate−start point coordinate) × (current time−start time) / line count time.
That is, display position X coordinate = X coordinate of start point + (X coordinate of end point−X coordinate of start point) × (current time−Start time) / Line count time.
Display position Y coordinate = Y coordinate of start point + (Y coordinate of end point−Y coordinate of start point) × (Current time−Start time) / Line count time.

When the operation is a broken line, for example, the display position is obtained by the following calculation formula as an example.
Polyline display position = Position i + ((Position i + 1) −Position i) × (Current time−Polyline count work value) / Polyline count time i + Reference position.
That is, display position X coordinate = X coordinate of position i + (X coordinate of (position i + 1) −X coordinate of position i) × (current time−polygon count work value) / polygon line count time i + reference X.
Display position Y coordinate = Y coordinate of position i + (Y coordinate of (position i + 1) −Y coordinate of position i) × (current time−polygon count work value) / polygon line count time i + reference Y.
The position i and the broken line count time i are the position coordinates and the broken line count time at the index i shown in the broken line table of FIG. The broken line count work value is a value obtained by adding a value obtained by sequentially adding the broken line count time of the broken line table from the broken line count time 1 to the broken line count time i-1 to the Start time. Further, the above calculation formula obtains the difference time between the current time and the Start time, compares the difference time with the difference time and the difference time and the difference time and the fold line count time of the fold line table added sequentially. This is the setting that the value added sequentially from 1 becomes larger than the difference time at the time of the broken line count time i.

Specifically, the basic identification information necessary for object selection, the object type specific information, and the basic operation work are read from the animation presentation table by the presentation table object selection parameter reading unit 131 and read by the display switching determination unit 132. Using the identification information, the object type specific information, and the basic operation work, it is determined whether the object type of the target object at the specific reproduction time is a display switching object. When it is determined that the object type is a display switching object, the object determining unit 133 selects and determines the object using the object type specific information and the basic operation work parameter. When it is determined that the object type is not a display switching object, the object determination unit 133 selects and determines the object using the parameter of the object type specific information.

FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an outline reproduction image of how reproduction is performed based on the animation effect table set in FIG.

Next, how playback is performed will be described based on the animation effect table set in FIG. Since there are eight types of objects in the animation effect table, description will be made by identifying with alphabets A to H.

First, with respect to object A, the basic motion identification is a static / single object, and the object is Mount Fuji image (more precisely, the storage location information of Mount Fuji image) from the object type specific information, and the start point A, for example (10 , 0) coordinates indicate 10 seconds from the start time and the start time, and the display unit 11 displays the first 10 seconds from 0 seconds to the (10, 0) coordinates of the Mt. Is displayed, that is, the animation is reproduced. Since the reference X and the reference Y are “0”, there is no coordinate conversion of the A start point.

In object B, the basic motion identification is linear movement / single object, and the object is a round image based on the object type specific information, but more precisely it is the storage destination information of the round image. 260) to the B end point, for example, the (80,180) coordinate, the moving time is 2 seconds, and the start time and the end time indicate the first 0 seconds to 2 seconds. It is shown that the circular image moves uniformly from the (0,260) coordinate to the (80,180) coordinate for 2 seconds from the beginning. As indicated by the start point coordinates, the (0,260) coordinates are in the range of (0,0) to (320,240) in this embodiment, and thus exceed the coordinate range actually displayed on the display unit. However, the start point and end point coordinates may exceed the display coordinate range.

In object C, the basic motion identification is a broken line movement / single object, and the object is a circle image from the object type specific information, but more precisely it is the storage destination information of the circle image, and is indicated by the broken line table C pointer from the operation specific information. The broken line moves according to the broken line table C, and starts from the first 0 seconds to 2 seconds from the start time and the end time, and is displayed on the display unit for 5 seconds from the first 0 seconds to 7 seconds later. ing. The broken line table C is moved uniformly from the position C1 to the position C2, and the moving time is 20 counts when 1 second is expressed as 60 counts, that is, 20/60 seconds, from the position C2 to the position C3, and from the position C3 to the position C3. C4, position C4 to position C5, position C5 to position C6, position C6 to position C1, respectively, and the movement time is between 20 counts. In addition, while the image is started after 2 seconds from the first 0 seconds and reproduced for 5 seconds after the first 0 seconds to 7 seconds, the round image shows a hexagon related to the vertex C1 to the vertex C6 on FIG. Is moved to C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, and C1 by 2.5 turns clockwise, and finally moves to position C4.

In the object D, the basic motion identification is linear movement / single object, the object is a round image from the object type specific information, more precisely the storage destination information of the round image, and the D start point from the motion specific information, that is, the broken line table C It is shown that the movement time is 1 second with uniform movement from the position C4 coordinate to the D end point.
In the object E, the Start time, the End time, the reference X, and the reference Y are different, but the same as the object B except that the playback time includes 2 seconds.
Similarly, in the object F, the Start time, the End time, the reference X, and the reference Y are different, but the same as the object C except that the reproduction time includes 5 seconds.
Further, the object G is the same as the object D except that the start time, the end time, the reference X, and the reference Y are different, but includes one second of the reproduction time.
Objects E, F, and G move the images of the objects C, D, and F by the position of coordinates (140, −40), and display that the playback operation is the same but the start time and end time are different. .

In object H, the basic motion identification is linear movement / single object, and the object is a triangular image based on the object type specific information, more precisely the storage location information of the triangular image, and the motion specific information is equally from the H start point to the H end point. It shows that the movement time is 5 seconds. Note that the start point and end point are not necessarily within the display range of the display unit.
Further, in the animation effect table reproduction image diagram of FIG. 23, the display range is between coordinates (0, 0) to (320, 240), but the display range may be large or small and can be changed in any way. Good.

In addition, regarding the overlay when displaying objects A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H, it is closer to viewing the display in the order of objects A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. It may be set so as to be arranged, the arrangement may be set each time, or may be set in any general manner such as being set in advance.

Note that the objects A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H in the animation effect table in FIG. 22 are reproduced based on the current time. The specific processing will be described below.
When the current time is 5 seconds, the objects to be reproduced are the objects A, C, F, and H from the Start time and End time of each object. That is, Start time ≦ Current time = 5 seconds <End time corresponding to Start time and End time is determined by the effect table target object determination unit 3 and the playback target objects are the objects A, C, F, H is determined. The information format decoding unit 4 of the target object decodes the data format of the object A based on the basic motion identification information of the object A, and then sets the display position of the object in the object position determination unit 5 according to the data format. carry out. In the case of the object A, since the motion is stationary, the display position is obtained by a preset calculation formula for the display position.
The display position of the object A when the current time is 5 seconds is X coordinate = X coordinate of the A start point, and Y coordinate = Y coordinate of the A start point. Next, the object selection unit 6 obtains storage destination information related to the Mt. Fuji image from the object type specific information of the object A and determines the object. Further, the enlargement / reduction setting unit 7 sets the enlargement / reduction value of the object A. However, since there is no parameter related to the enlargement / reduction value, the same magnification is set. In the image processing table generation unit 8, the position coordinates relating to the object A at the current time of 5 seconds (the X coordinate of the A start point, the Y coordinate of the A start point), the storage location information of the Mt. A value is set in the image processing table.
Similarly, in the case of the object C at the current time of 5 seconds, after the data format is decoded by the information format decoding unit 4 of the target object, the object position determination unit 5 sets the display position of the object, and the operation is a broken line movement. For this reason, the display position is obtained by a preset calculation formula of the display position, and the display position when the current time of the object C is 5 seconds is the position C4 indicated by the broken line table C.

Next, the object selection unit 6 obtains storage destination information related to the circle image from the object type specific information of the object C and determines the object. Further, the enlargement / reduction setting unit 7 sets the enlargement / reduction value of the object C. However, since there is no parameter related to the enlargement / reduction value, the same magnification is set. In the image processing table generation unit 8, the position C4 coordinates relating to the object C at the current time of 5 seconds, the storage destination information of the round image determined as the object, and the same-magnification value of the enlargement / reduction value are set in the image processing table.
In object F, object F is 1 second after the start time of object C, the reference coordinates are changed from (0, 0) to (140, −40), and the start position of object C is (140, −40) parallel. It has been moved.

In the case of the object F at the current time of 5 seconds, after the data format is decoded by the information format decoding unit 4 of the target object, the object position determination unit 5 sets the display position of the object, and the operation is a broken line movement. The display position is obtained by the previously calculated calculation formula, and the display position when the current time of the object F is 5 seconds is the position C1 coordinate indicated by the broken line table C + (140, −40). Next, the object selection unit 6 obtains storage destination information related to the round image from the object type specific information of the object F, determines the object, and the enlargement / reduction setting unit 7 sets the enlargement / reduction value of the object F. Since there is no parameter related to the enlargement / reduction value, the same magnification is set. In the image processing table generation unit 8, the C1 coordinate of the position relating to the object F at the current time of 5 seconds + (140, −40), the storage destination information of the round image determined as the object, and the same-magnification value of the enlargement / reduction value are processed. Set to table.

In the case of the object H at the current time of 5 seconds, after the data format is decoded by the information format decoding unit 4 of the target object, the object position determination unit 5 sets the display position of the object, and the operation is linear movement. The display position is obtained by a preset calculation formula of H. The display position when the current time of the object H is 5 seconds is H start point coordinate + (H end point coordinate−H start point coordinate) × (current time−Start time) / Depending on the straight line count time, H start point coordinates + (H end point coordinates−H start point coordinates) × 1/5.
Next, the object selection unit 6 obtains storage destination information related to the triangular image from the object type specific information of the object H, determines the object, and the enlargement / reduction setting unit 7 sets the enlargement / reduction value of the object H. Since there is no parameter related to the enlargement / reduction value, the same magnification is set. In the image processing table generation unit 8, the storage destination information and the enlargement of the triangular image determined as the object coordinate H start point coordinate + (H end point coordinate−H start point coordinate) × 1/5 for the object H at the current time of 5 seconds. An equal magnification value of the reduction value is set in the image processing table. When setting the image processing table, the image processing table generation unit 8 uses the object position determination unit 5, the object selection unit 6, and the enlargement / reduction setting unit 7 for each of the objects A, C, F, and H based on the current time. The set object position information, object determination information, enlargement / reduction value information, and current time are used as the position information writing unit 152, object determination information writing unit 153, enlargement / reduction value writing unit 154 in the image processing table generation unit 8, time The information writing unit 151 writes in the image processing table and generates an image processing table.

The image processing table having the current time of 5 seconds obtained as described above includes information on the objects A, C, F, and H.

FIG. 24 is a diagram showing an example of an image processing table at the current time of 5 seconds.
The image processing table sets the position coordinates of the target object, the object storage location information, and the enlargement / reduction value based on the time, that is, the count value, and includes necessary information related to the object reproduction at the specific reproduction time. Here, an image to be displayed on the display unit 11 by the image processing unit 10 is created and combined according to the image processing table for the specific reproduction times of the objects A, C, F, and H, and transmitted to the display unit 11. The object storage location information is an object ID in one example, but may be a pointer indicating storage location information or a file indicating a correspondence with a storage location address or the like. Any information can be used.

FIG. 25 is a diagram showing a display image image at the current time of 5 seconds.
The image processing table reading unit 161 in the image processing unit 10 reads the object position information, the object determination information, and the object enlargement / reduction value from the “image processing table at the current time of 5 seconds”, and the image data acquisition unit 162 first reads the object. Object image data of the object A is acquired from the storage unit 12 according to the determination information. The enlargement / reduction processing unit 163 generates new image data of the object by scaling the object image data to the magnification of the enlargement / reduction value based on the read enlargement / reduction value of the object and a preset algorithm. In the case of the object A, since the enlargement / reduction value is not set, the image data of the object A acquired by the image data acquisition unit 162 is set as it is at the same magnification. Next, the image of the object A is incorporated into the position coordinates of the object A according to the object position information read by the image composition unit 164. The object C is processed in the same manner, and then the processing proceeds in the image processing unit 10 in the same manner as the objects F and H. When the image composition unit 164 determines that the composition of the object is completed, the image is transmitted to the display unit 11, and the display image at the current time of 5 seconds is displayed on the display unit 11. It should be noted that a combination is set in advance in the image composition of the objects A, C, F, and H in the image composition unit 164. The combination is set so that, for example, the objects A, C, F, and H are seen in front in this order, but may be set for general purposes to make the stereoscopic effect clearer.
