  In the image display device disclosed in Patent Document 1, the controller itself integrated with the image display device is moved to change the image, and vibration is not applied to the image display device. However, when the operator who is looking at the screen is crazy about the game, for example, the case may be impulsively vibrated. In such a case, if the image changes according to the applied vibration, you can enjoy unprecedented enjoyment. However, the conventional image display device cannot obtain such enjoyment.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an image display device capable of specifying a vibration part applied to a case and changing an image in relation to the part.

  In addition to the above object, another object of the present invention is to provide an image display device capable of changing an image according to the magnitude of vibration applied to a case.

  Still another object of the present invention is to provide an image in which an image subject in an image displayed on an image display unit moves in a direction of moving away from a portion subjected to vibration or approaching a portion subjected to vibration. It is to provide a display device.

  Still another object of the present invention is to provide an image display device capable of displaying such that an additional image advances toward a site where vibration is applied.

  Still another object of the present invention is to provide an image display device capable of displaying an image in which an additional image advances from a portion to which vibration is applied toward an image subject.

  Still another object of the present invention is to provide an image display device capable of displaying an image in which an image main body is deformed around a site subjected to vibration.

  The image display device of the present invention includes an image display unit, a case that holds the image display unit, a vibration input unit that detects vibration as an input, and an image display control unit. The image display control unit displays an image on the image display unit based on the input from the vibration input unit and the image data, and changes the image according to the input from the vibration input unit. In the present specification, an image includes both a still image and a moving image. In the present invention, the vibration input unit specifies one or more vibration detection elements that detect vibrations directly applied to the case from the outside, and a part of the case to which vibration is applied based on the output of the vibration detection element. A vibration addition site specifying unit for outputting information. And an image display control part changes an image so that it may relate with the site | part of the case where the vibration was added based on the site | part information about the site | part of the case which the vibration addition site | part specification part specified. In this specification, “change the image so that it is related to the part of the case” to which vibration is applied means that the change of the image has some relation (or relationship) with the part to which vibration is applied. Any change may be used, and the state or pattern of changing the image is not limited to a specific one. In other words, “change the image so as to be related to the part of the case” means that the part information of the specified “case part” is used as one of the parameters used for the image change.

  The specific image display control unit includes an image data storage unit that stores image data of an image to be displayed on the image display unit, an operation change command generation unit, and an image display change unit. In addition, in a specific image display device, a non-vibration input unit that detects an input other than vibration may be provided separately from the above-described vibration input unit. The motion change command generating unit generates a motion change command in response to an input from the non-vibration input unit, and generates a motion change command including site information about the site specified by the vibration application site specifying unit. The image display change unit displays an image on the image display unit based on the image data stored in the image data storage unit, and changes the image based on the operation change command when an operation change command is input.

  According to the present invention, the image display unit displays a change in the image related to the part of the case to which vibration is applied. Therefore, when the user is looking at the image display unit, the image is displayed when vibration is applied to the case. It is possible to provide an image display apparatus that can realize the fun of changing and can provide an unprecedented enjoyment. The change in the image associated with the part of the case to which the vibration is applied is, for example, when the part of the case to which the vibration is applied is a part of the frame around the image display unit. The image changes such as a soap bubble or a water spray on the screen. In addition, for changes in the image related to the part of the case where the vibration is applied, if a vibration is applied to a predetermined part of the screen, a hole appears in the part of the screen where the vibration is applied. The change of the image which spouts is also included. According to the present invention, since an image is changed in relation to a part to which vibration is applied, an unexpected change in the image can be enjoyed depending on how the part to which vibration is applied is selected.

  The motion change command generation unit may be configured to generate a motion change command including vibration magnitude information related to the magnitude of vibration applied to a portion to which vibration is applied in addition to the portion information. In this way, since the image changes depending on the magnitude of the vibration, not only the selection of the part to which the vibration is applied but also the magnitude of the vibration can be used as a parameter for changing the image. Can be further diversified.

  The one or more vibration detection elements include three uniaxial vibration detection elements (first uniaxial vibration detection element, second uniaxial vibration detection element, and third uniaxial vibration detection element) that detect vibration generated in a uniaxial direction. You may comprise as follows. In this case, the first uniaxial vibration detection element is arranged so as to detect vibration generated in the first direction in which the perpendicular to the display screen of the image display unit extends. The second uniaxial vibration detection element is arranged to detect vibration generated in a second direction in which a perpendicular to the first virtual plane orthogonal to the display screen extends. Then, the third uniaxial vibration detecting element is arranged so as to detect vibration generated in the third direction in which the perpendicular to the second virtual plane orthogonal to the display screen and the first virtual plane extends. In this way, a vibration detection element having a simple configuration can be employed, and the number of elements to be arranged can be reduced, so that the site where the vibration is applied can be detected with an inexpensive configuration. Furthermore, when such a configuration is employed, the shape of the case can be a polyhedral shape if the surface on which the display screen is exposed is a flat surface. Alternatively, the shape of the case can be a non-polyhedral shape such as a spherical shape.

  The mode in which the image display control unit changes the image based on the part information is arbitrary. The image display control unit may change the image based on the part information so that the image main body displayed on the image display part moves away from or approaches the part specified by the part information. Here, the image subject is an image that particularly attracts the attention of the person viewing the image among the images stored in the image data storage unit and displayed on the image display unit by the image display control unit. It can be a character, a moving body, a building, a background, or the like in the game. With this configuration, when the image subject is an animal character or the like, an image in which the character escapes from the part that is surprised by the vibration given to the specified part and applied the vibration is displayed, or the specified part is displayed. An image showing the character approaching the part where the vibration is applied with interest in the given vibration can be displayed, so that the person viewing the image can enjoy the image-based response to the vibration applied to the case Can do.

  In such a case, the motion change command generation unit is configured to generate a motion change command including vibration magnitude information related to the magnitude of vibration applied to the part to which vibration is applied in addition to the part information. May be. If comprised in this way, since the image display change part can change the speed (operation speed) which approaches the specified site | part according to the magnitude | size of a vibration, for example, the speed which leaves | separates from the site | part with which the image main body was specified, and was specified. The person who is viewing the image can intuitively grasp the vibration applied to the case from the changing image.

  The image display control unit may change the image so that an additional image is generated based on the part information. Here, the additional image is an image that is stored in the image data storage unit and displayed on the image display unit by the image display control unit, other than the main image, and generated based on the part information. is there. The additional image includes, for example, attack means for attacking the image subject in a game. With this configuration, an additional image related to the part to which vibration is applied is displayed, so that a person who is viewing the image can see a more diversified deformation mode of the image.

  In such a case, the image display change unit may change the image so as to change the size, amount, or speed of the additional image based on the vibration magnitude information. With this configuration, the size, amount, or speed of the additional image changes according to the magnitude of the applied vibration, so that the person viewing the image can not only enjoy various image changes. For example, in the battle game, the attack strategy variation can be increased.

  The shape and operation of the additional image generated based on the part information are arbitrary. For example, the image may be changed so that the additional image progresses from the part specified by the part information toward the image main body displayed on the image display unit. When the image is changed in this way, an image in which an additional image progresses from the part to which the vibration is applied toward the image subject is displayed. For example, in the case of a battle game, the image subject is attacked from the part to which the vibration is applied. The image to which is added can be displayed to the viewer. As a result, it is possible to show a more diversified image deformation mode to a person who is viewing the image. Of course, the image may be changed so that the additional image advances from the image main body displayed on the image display unit toward the part specified by the part information. Furthermore, it is needless to say that the image may be changed so that an additional image is generated in the vicinity of the part specified by the part information.

  Even when an additional image is displayed as described above, the image display change unit may change the image so as to change the size, amount, or speed of the additional image based on the vibration magnitude information. Of course. With this configuration, the size of the additional image that progresses toward the image subject according to the magnitude of the applied vibration, the additional image that progresses away from the image subject, or the additional image that occurs in the vicinity of the specified part Since the amount or speed changes, a person watching the image can not only enjoy various image changes, but also increase the variation of the attack strategy, for example, in a battle game.

  Further, the image display control unit may change the image based on the part information so that the image main body displayed on the image display part is deformed around the part specified by the part information. If comprised in this way, the image which an image main body deform | transforms by the ripple formed so that it may spread, for example centering on the specified site | part can be displayed. As a result, it is possible to show a more diversified image deformation mode to a person who is viewing the image. In this case as well, the image display change unit may change the image so as to change the degree of deformation of the image subject based on the vibration magnitude information. When the image is changed in this manner, the degree of deformation of the image subject changes according to the magnitude of the applied vibration. Therefore, by giving a large vibration, the person who is viewing the image greatly deforms the image subject. You can enjoy images.

In this embodiment, the input unit 13A constitutes the non-vibration input unit of the present invention, and the input unit 13B constitutes the vibration input unit of the present invention. The image display control unit 12 displays an image on the image display unit 11 based on the input from the two types of input units 13A or 13B and the image data, and the image display unit according to the input from the input unit 13A or 13B. The image to be displayed is changed. Specifically, the image display control unit 12 includes an operation change command generation unit 20, an image display change unit 21, and an image data storage unit 23 which will be described later.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the case 3 is provided with four switches 7 a to 7 d on the front wall 3 </ b> A where the display screen 5 is exposed. These switches 7a to 7d are operation switches 7b to 7d as one of the input units 13A operated to generate an operation change command for changing the power switch 7a and an image displayed on the display screen. . The outputs of these operation switches 7b to 7d and the output from the vibration addition site specifying unit 19 described later are input to the operation change command generating unit 20. The operation change command generation unit 20 generates an operation change command to the image display change unit 21 based on commands input from the input units 13A (7b to 7d) and 13B.

  Further, two sound emitting holes 9 for the speaker are formed in the front wall portion 3 </ b> A of the case 3. From the speaker, voice, sound effects, music, and the like are output according to changes in the image displayed on the display screen 5 and the like. An image is displayed on the display screen 5 of the image display unit 11 based on the image signal output from the image display change unit 21 of FIG. Inside the case 3, vibrations directly applied to the case 3 from the outside are detected on one wall portion of the three opposing pair of wall portions (3 A and 3 B, 3 C and 3 D, 3 E and 3 F) of the case 3. A uniaxial vibration detection element is provided as a vibration detection element. The uniaxial vibration detection element detects only vibration in one axial direction and outputs a signal corresponding to the vibration. For example, the uniaxial vibration detection element has a structure in which a plate-like piezoelectric vibration element is cantilevered and is piezoelectric. What outputs the voltage induced by a vibration element as a detection signal can be used. These uniaxial vibration detection elements constitute the vibration detection element 17 of FIG. In the present embodiment, the vibration detection element 17 and the vibration addition site specifying unit 19 constitute an input unit 13B.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram simply showing the case 3 as a cube in order to explain the arrangement of the uniaxial vibration detection elements A to C in the present embodiment. In FIG. 3, the reference numerals shown in FIG. 1 are attached to the positions corresponding to the wall portions of the case 3 shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, three uniaxial vibration detection elements A to C that detect vibration generated in the uniaxial direction are provided in the walls 3A, 3C, and 3F of the case 3. The uniaxial vibration detection element A is provided inside the wall 3A where the display screen 5 is exposed. The uniaxial vibration detecting element A is arranged so as to detect vibration generated in the first direction in which the perpendicular L1 to the display screen 5 extends. The uniaxial vibration detection elements B and C are provided inside the wall portions 3C and 3F of the case orthogonal to the display screen 5 and orthogonal to each other. The uniaxial vibration detection elements B and C are arranged so that the second and third directions in which the perpendiculars L2 and L3 extend to the two virtual surfaces PS1 and PS2 orthogonal to the display screen 5 and orthogonal to each other are uniaxial directions. ing. Accordingly, the uniaxial vibration detection elements B and C respectively detect vibrations in one of the directions perpendicular to the upper surface, the lower surface (3F, 3E), or the side surfaces (3C, 3D) of the image display device 1 in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the uniaxial vibration detection elements A to C not only detect the presence / absence of vibration, but also have a function of specifying and outputting the magnitude of the detected vibration. The uniaxial vibration detection elements A to C may have any configuration as long as they can detect the vibration generated in one direction and output the magnitude of the detected vibration. A uniaxial vibration detecting element can be used.

  Returning to FIG. 2, a block diagram showing a configuration of a main part of the image display device 1 of the present embodiment will be described. The image display device 1 according to the present embodiment includes an image display unit 11, an input unit 13B (vibration input unit) including a vibration detection element 17 and a vibration addition site specifying unit 19, an operation change command generation unit 20, an image display. And an image display control unit 12 having a change unit 21 and an image data storage unit 23. The vibration detection element 17 detects a vibration directly applied to the case 3 from the outside and outputs it to the vibration addition site specifying unit 19. In the present embodiment, the three uniaxial vibration detection elements A to C constituting the vibration detection element 17 detect vibrations in directions orthogonal to each other, and the detected vibration magnitudes are transmitted to the vibration addition site specifying unit 19. Output each. The vibration detection element 17 and the vibration addition site specifying unit 19 constitute an input unit 13B, and specify and specify the site of the case to which vibration is applied based on the outputs of the three vibration detection elements A to C. The part information about the part that has been processed is output to the operation change command generator 20. As the input unit, in addition to the input unit 13B including the vibration detection element 17 and the vibration addition site specifying unit 19, the operation switches 7b to 7d shown in FIG. There is an input unit 13A (non-vibration input unit). The operation change command generation unit 20 generates an operation change command including site information about the specified site according to the output of the vibration addition site specifying unit 19 and outputs the operation change command to the image display change unit 21. The operation change command generator 20 generates an operation change command according to the output from the input unit 13A such as the operation switches 7b to 7d as well as the input unit 13B. The operation change command generation unit 20 of the present embodiment provides a threshold for the input signal input from the vibration addition site specifying unit 19 of the input unit 13B, and only when the input signal exceeds the threshold An operation change command is generated in response to the input signal. For this reason, the normal vibration generated when the operation switches 7b to 7d are operated does not change the image according to the input signal from the input unit 13B.

  In the present embodiment, the operation change command generation unit 20 generates an operation change command including vibration magnitude information related to the magnitude of vibration applied to the site specified by the vibration addition site specifying unit 19 to change the image display. To the unit 21. The image display change unit 21 displays an image on the image display unit 11 based on the image data stored in the image data storage unit 23. The mode in which the image display changing unit 21 displays the image is arbitrary, and for example, the image may be displayed according to a display operation mode that is predetermined based on a program. The image data storage unit 23 stores image data of an image to be displayed on the image display unit 11. In the present specification, an image includes both a still image and a moving image. When the operation change command is input, the image display change unit 21 changes the image according to the operation change command. In particular, when the operation change command includes the part information specified by the vibration addition part specifying unit 19, the image display changing unit 21 applies the vibration to the image displayed on the image display unit 11 based on the part information. It operates to change the image so as to be related to the selected part. In other words, the image display changing unit 21 changes the image using the part information as a parameter.

  In FIG. 2, display of hardware such as a storage unit for storing programs and data and a microcomputer for executing calculations is omitted. Therefore, the parts shown in the image display apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 2 are not all parts that specifically constitute the image display apparatus 1.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of a part of an algorithm (mainly an algorithm for specifying a vibration addition site) used when the embodiment of FIG. 1 is realized using a computer. Therefore, this algorithm does not include a step of processing input signals from the operation switches 7b to 7d. In this algorithm, in the step of configuring the vibration addition site specifying unit 19, the magnitudes of the signals output by the three uniaxial vibration detection elements A to C are simply compared with each other, and from the magnitude relation of the magnitudes of the signals, It is determined to which surface of the case 3 vibration has been applied.

  First, in step ST1, it is determined whether or not the vibration detection element 17 has detected vibration. In step ST1, discrimination based on the above-described threshold is performed. When the three uniaxial vibration detection elements A to C do not detect vibrations greater than or equal to the threshold value, this is a so-called standby state. In the standby state, until one of the three uniaxial vibration detection elements A to C detects vibration, the image display change unit 21 stores the image data stored in the image data storage unit 23 in accordance with a predetermined display operation mode. Based on this, an image is displayed on the display screen 5 of the image display unit 11. In step ST1, when the vibration more than the threshold applied to case 3 is detected, in step ST2, the vibration addition site specifying unit 19 based on the output of the vibration detection element 17 detects the site of the case where the vibration is applied. Start identification. In step ST3, the magnitude FA of vibration output from the uniaxial vibration detection element A in FIG. 3 is compared with the magnitude FB of vibration output from the uniaxial vibration detection element B. If it is determined in step ST3 that FA> FB (YES), the process proceeds to step ST4 and the magnitude of vibration FA output by the uniaxial vibration detection element A and the magnitude of vibration output by the uniaxial vibration detection element C are obtained. Compare with FC. If it is determined in step ST4 that FA> FC (YES), the process proceeds to step ST5. In step ST5, since the output of the uniaxial vibration detection element A is larger than the outputs of the uniaxial vibration detection elements B and C, the wall portion 3A on which the uniaxial vibration detection element A is arranged is replaced with another wall. The part of the case to which vibration is applied is determined to be the wall part 3A of the case where the uniaxial vibration detection element A is arranged. If it is determined in step ST4 that FA> FC is not satisfied (NO), the process proceeds to step ST6. In step ST6, since the output of the uniaxial vibration detection element B is smaller than the outputs of the uniaxial vibration detection elements A and C, it is determined that the wall 3C in which the uniaxial vibration detection element B is arranged vibrates smaller than the other wall parts. To do. As a result, the vibration addition site specifying unit 19 specifies that the site of the case to which vibration is applied is the wall 3D facing the wall 3C where the uniaxial vibration detection element B is disposed.

  If it is determined in step ST3 that FA> FB is not satisfied (NO), the process proceeds to step ST7 to determine whether FA <FB. If it is determined in step ST7 that FA <FB (YES), the process proceeds to step ST8 to determine whether FA> FC. If it is determined in step ST8 that FA> FC (YES), the process proceeds to step ST9. In step ST9, since the output of the uniaxial vibration detection element B is larger than the outputs of the uniaxial vibration detection elements A and C, the wall portion 3C on which the uniaxial vibration detection element B is arranged is replaced with another wall. The part of the case to which the vibration is applied is determined to be the wall part 3C of the case where the uniaxial vibration detection element B is arranged. If it is determined in step ST8 that FA> FC is not satisfied (NO), the process proceeds to step ST10. In step ST10, since the output of the uniaxial vibration detecting element A is smaller than the outputs of the uniaxial vibration detecting elements B and C, the wall part 3A on which the uniaxial vibration detecting element A is arranged is the other wall. The part of the case to which the vibration is applied is determined to be the wall part 3B facing the wall part 3A of the case where the uniaxial vibration detection element A is arranged.

  If it is determined in step ST7 that FA <FB is not satisfied (NO), the process proceeds to step ST11, where it is determined whether FA> FC. If it is determined in step ST11 that FA> FC (YES), the process proceeds to step ST12. In step ST12, since the output of the uniaxial vibration detecting element C is smaller than the outputs of the uniaxial vibration detecting elements A and B, the vibration part adding part specifying unit 19 has the wall 3F on which the uniaxial vibration detecting element C is disposed as the other wall. The part of the case to which the vibration is applied is determined to be 3E facing the wall part 3F of the case where the uniaxial vibration detection element C is disposed. If it is determined in step ST11 that FA> FC is not satisfied (NO), the process proceeds to step ST13. In step ST13, since the output of the uniaxial vibration detecting element C is larger than the outputs of the uniaxial vibration detecting elements A and B, the vibration part adding part specifying unit 19 uses the wall 3F on which the uniaxial vibration detecting element C is disposed on the other wall. The part of the case to which vibration is applied is determined to be the wall part 3F of the case in which the uniaxial vibration detection element C is arranged.

  In step ST14, the image display changing unit 21 determines that the image displayed on the image display unit 11 has a predetermined relationship with the wall portion of the case specified in steps ST5, ST6, ST9, ST10, ST12, and ST13 (wall portion). To the image). In step ST15, it is determined whether or not to end the image display. If the process is not completed (NO), the process returns to step ST1 and waits until vibration is detected again. If it is selected in step ST15 that the image display is to be ended (YES), the image display is ended. When it is desired to specify the part on the surface in detail, for example, the output magnitudes of the uniaxial vibration detecting elements are compared, the force synthesis vector is calculated according to the output magnitude, and the force synthesis vector is calculated. What is necessary is just to specify the site | part to which the vibration was added on the extension line extended in the direction opposite to this indication direction.

  FIG. 5 shows that in the present embodiment, the image display changing unit 21 displays on the display screen 5 so as to relate to this part (using part information as a parameter) based on the part information of the part to which vibration is applied. It is a figure which shows an example of the change of an image. In FIG. 5, a fish image is displayed on the display screen 5 as the image subject (image object) (S). FIG. 5 is an example of a change in the image displayed on the display screen when vibration is applied to the wall 3D of the case 3 from the left side. In the example of FIG. 5, the image display changing unit 21 displays an image on the display screen 5 such that the fish (S) is surprised by the vibration and escapes from the part of the case 3 (wall 3D) to which the vibration is applied. Yes. On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 6, contrary to the operation shown in FIG. 5, the fish (S) is interested in the vibration given to the case, and the part (wall) of the case 3 to which the vibration is given. The image is changed so as to approach the part 3D). Also, in FIG. 6, vibrations greater than the vibrations given in FIG. 5 are given to the case, so in FIG. 6, an image in which the moving speed of the fish (S) is faster than in FIG. 5 is displayed.

  FIGS. 7A and 7B are diagrams illustrating an example of an image displayed by the image display change unit 21 when the part of the case to which vibration is applied is specified as the upper surface or the lower surface of the case 3. It is. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image displayed by the image display change unit 21 when it is specified that the part on the case 3 to which vibration is applied is a surface on which the display screen 5 is exposed. . In this example, it is shown that the fish (S) is moving to the back of the display screen 5. In this way, when the image displayed on the display screen 5 is changed so as to be related to the site where the vibration is applied, the person viewing the image visually sees the change or reaction of the image subject that changes due to the vibration applied to the case. Can be enjoyed by.

  FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 show different image changes that the image display changing unit 21 displays on the display screen 5 so as to relate to the vibration part applied to the case 3 (using the part information as a parameter) in the present embodiment. It is a figure which shows the example of. In the example of FIGS. 9 and 10, a tank is displayed on the display screen 5 as the image subject (S). A person watching the image gives vibration to the case from the left side toward the case. In the example of FIG. 9, the image display changing unit 21 moves the attack means (bullet) (A) as an additional image from the tank (S) displayed on the image display unit toward the part specified by the part information. Change the image so that it progresses.

In FIG. 10, since the case is given a vibration larger than the vibration given in FIG. 9, an image in which the number of displayed attack means (bullets) (A) is larger than in the case of FIG. Is displayed. Of course, the size of the additional image (the amount and the number) and the speed at which the image progresses toward the main body of the image may be changed according to the magnitude of the applied vibration.

  In the case of FIGS. 9 and 10, the image changes so that the additional image (A) proceeds from the portion to which the vibration is applied toward the image subject (S). Therefore, for example, in a battle game or the like, the image changes so that the attack means against the image subject (S) is fired from the portion to which vibration is applied. can do. Further, if the size, number, and amount of the additional image (attack means) (A) are changed in accordance with the magnitude of the applied vibration, variations in the attack strategy can be further increased.
