Description

  The present invention relates to a game apparatus or the like having a function for making a state of a game progressed based on an operation command from a player, and more particularly, to a state of a game state.

  In sports games such as baseball games and soccer games and car racing games, it is possible to give players the impression that they are watching a real-time TV broadcast, and to enhance the fun of the game. Has been done.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a car racing game in which a plurality of players participate, in which the racing situation of each player is actually played like a TV broadcast. Specifically, it is disclosed that a single story can be selected at random from a plurality of pre-prepared data that defines the details of the actual situation, and different stories can be executed even in the same game development pattern. Yes.

Japanese Patent No. 3431333

  By the way, in the actual situation of baseball in the real world, even if the game situation is the same, the actual situation contents are often different from the flow of the whole game or depending on the players who appear. For example, if the pitcher has scored a large number of goals, an announcement such as “A pitcher is bad. Is it a pitcher change?” Announcement such as “A pitcher, this It may be an announcement such as “It ’s an important game to get out!” Alternatively, if a pitcher match is anticipated in an ace confrontation in advance, a different announcement will be given, such as “A pitcher, a massive conceded goal! It may be a real situation that the content of the announcement is changed to an announcement that assumes a brutal battle.

However, in the conventional game, if the events occurring in the game are the same, it is common to perform the same actual situation, and an announcement with a real feeling has not been realized. As described above, Patent Document 1 discloses that a plurality of variations are provided in the actual contents for the car racing game, but this is simply from a plurality of candidates for the actual contents. The data is simply selected at random. That is, the actual situation disclosed in Patent Document 1 is merely a variation of the contents of announcements for individual situations that occur in the game, and it is not possible to realize an actual situation with sufficient realism. In addition, in this way, if the announcement content is changed randomly for each situation, it is assumed that the connection of the announcements before and after becomes unnatural or the evaluation to the same character is shifted for each announcement. Is done. As an example of a baseball game, the following announcements can be considered. When a pitcher announcement is made,
1. At the start of the game: “The opponent team is all the battingers and the hard hitters are aligned. How many times can you hold up?”
2. When the number of innings is reduced to 0 until 4 o'clock: “It ’s a great pitching.”
・ If you hit consecutive hits at the 5th inning: “Throwing is not stable.”
In the above example, while giving a negative comment to the pitcher at the start of the match, at the 4th inning, the pitcher was evaluated as a normal throw as usual, and at the 5th inning just after that, as if today It is an announcement of an unwell condition. In other words, the announcements corresponding to individual innings seem to be correct, but when heard throughout, the evaluation of the same pitcher is an unnatural announcement because the innings are divided in a non-correlated manner. End up.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a game apparatus and the like that can not only provide variations in the announcement content but also make a natural flow announcement that is consistent with the announcements before and after.

  (1) A game device according to the present invention is a game device having a function of making a state of a game progressed based on an operation command from a player, and a plurality of preset game devices based on points of interest with respect to game content. The actual axis determining unit that determines at least the actual axis of the entire game that does not change according to the game scene and the actual axis that can change according to the game scene from among the actual axis candidates, and corresponding to each actual axis, A live data storage unit that stores live data that defines live content according to the game scene, and one live axis that satisfies the live condition according to the game scene from the live axes determined by the live axis determination unit Or a live content determination unit that determines a live content based on live data corresponding to the determined live status axis, determining at least a plurality of live axes including the live status axis of the entire game. And a commentary content notifying unit for notifying a commentary content determined by the commentary contents decision unit to the player.

  According to this configuration, the live situation axis of the entire game that does not change according to the game scene from among a plurality of live action axis candidates determined in advance according to the point of interest with respect to the game content, and the actual situation that can change according to the game scene An axis is determined. Note that in the case of a baseball game, the points of interest are the A class battle, the top-of-the-field battle, the number of games in the league (such as the beginning or end of the pennant), the ranking of both teams in the league, Predetermined point of view of team status and matches, such as special game information (Japan series, climax series, etc.), or point of view regarding player information such as defense rate of starting pitcher, average batting average within team, ace showdown, pitcher match Furthermore, in the game, the viewpoint regarding the game state or the like, such as whether the starting pitcher has continued to be a good pitch, whether the previous starter fielder has hit all the hits, or whether the relief pitcher is substantial, is shown.

  Then, an actual condition satisfying an actual condition corresponding to the game scene is determined from the determined actual condition axes, and the actual contents are determined based on the actual data corresponding to the actual condition axis, and the determined actual contents are given to the player. Informed.

  In this way, in this configuration, at least two types of live axes that match the point of interest with respect to the game content are determined, and live contents are determined according to live data corresponding to these live axes. For this reason, it is possible to realize a multifaceted actual situation in which a game is lived at a plurality of angles like an actual announcer, and it is possible to realize an actual situation rich in realism.

  In addition, since one of the at least two types of the actual condition axis is set to a consistent point that does not change throughout the game, it is possible to realize an actual condition that is not disturbed by the actual condition policy.

  For example, in the case of a baseball game, the points of the battle such as the A-class battle and the top-of-the-field battle will not change throughout the game, so this is used as one actual axis. In other words, since this configuration defines a live-action axis that does not change throughout the game, it is possible to achieve a consistent live-action with no blurring and a real-life reality. As a live-action axis that does not change throughout the game, other viewpoints such as ace confrontation can be adopted.

  Also, if the live axis once determined does not change at all, the live axis becomes unsuitable for game development, and there is a possibility that the realism may be lowered. For example, an actual announcer defines a plurality of cuts at the start of a game and proceeds with the situation accordingly, but some of these cuts may be changed depending on the game development. Therefore, in this configuration, since the actual situation axis that can change according to the game scene is defined, it is possible to realize the actual situation rich in variations.

  In this configuration, when the live content determination unit uses multiple live axes to determine live content, it is set to use at least the live game's live shaft that does not change according to the game scene. The following effects are obtained.

  In other words, since the contents corresponding to the actual situation axis of the entire game that does not change according to the game scene and the contents of the individual game scenes are performed, the contents of the actual situation and the expression of the actual situation before and after the entire game are performed. Natural flow announcements that are consistent with each other.

  For example, when a game simulating the Japanese series is played in a baseball game, the attention and expectations of fans are greater than the pennant race, so announcements about individual plays such as home runs, hits, and outs are also normal games. In comparison, expressions that make it conscious of an important game are included, and it is possible to realize a natural situation without the impression that the announcements of individual scenes are separated from each other.

  (2) The live action axis of the entire game includes a first live action axis relating to the live action policy of the entire game and a second live action axis relating to prediction of game development, which does not change depending on the game scene, and depends on the game situation The changeable actual axis includes a third actual axis related to an event that has occurred in the game, and the actual axis determining unit is configured to select from among a plurality of predetermined actual axis candidates for each of the first to third actual axes. Preferably, the first to third live axes are determined.

  For example, in an actual professional baseball broadcast, an announcer may determine the actual policy of the whole game based on the position of the game such as the A-class battle or the top battle. In addition, the announcer may pre-determine the actual situation policy by predicting the game development in advance, so that the ace of both teams will throw each other at the start of the game, so that it will be a pitcher game. Therefore, in this configuration, in order to reproduce these, the first actual axis related to the actual policy of the entire game and the second actual axis related to the prediction of the game development are determined from the plurality of actual axes. , Enhance the realism of the actual situation.

  In addition, the actual announcer, for example, if the starting pitcher continues perfect pitching, pay attention to that fact, and then change the actual policy, and as the number of continuous pitching innings further increases, the actual policy changed Will come to pay more attention. In this configuration, in order to realize this, a third live axis related to an event that has occurred in the game is set.

  (3) The actual content determination unit determines an actual axis that satisfies the actual condition in the order of the first to third actual axes, and satisfies at least one first or second actual axis that satisfies the actual condition. It is preferable to determine the actual contents based on the actual data corresponding to a plurality of actual axes including one of the actual axes.

  According to this configuration, the first actual axis related to the actual policy of the entire game and the second actual axis related to the prediction of the game development are used in the actual condition in this order, and the first actual axis and the second actual axis are used as the actual condition. If the above conditions are not satisfied, the third live action axis related to the event that occurred in the game is used for the live action, so it is possible to realize the live action that gives the player an impression that the live action policy does not change depending on the game scene. In addition, it is possible to realize a flexible situation corresponding to an event occurring in the game.

  In this configuration, whether or not the live condition is satisfied is determined in the order of the first to third live axes. If there are multiple live axes that satisfy the live condition, the multiple live axes are used. The actual contents may be determined, and in this case, at least one of the first and second actual axes is included. That is, when determining the actual contents using a plurality of actual axes, the first and second actual axes, the first and third actual axes, the second and third actual axes, or the first to third actual axes are used. The actual contents are determined.

  In this way, in a game scene in which a plurality of live axes satisfy the live conditions, since the live content defined by the first live axis or the second live axis that does not change according to the game scene is used, It is possible to conduct a consistent situation considering the flow. In addition to the third actual axis, when the other actual axis is used, the first actual axis or the second actual axis is always used. It can be performed.

  (4) The actual axis determination unit sets a priority for each of the actual axis candidates of the third actual axis, and determines a predetermined number of actual axis candidates having a higher priority as the third actual axis. Preferably, the actual content determination unit determines one or more actual axes satisfying the actual condition in the third actual axis in descending order of priority.

  According to this configuration, since the predetermined number of live axis candidates are determined as the third live axes in descending order of priority among the live axis candidates of the third live axis, the third live axis suitable for the game content is given priority. The actual situation used for In addition, by adopting a plurality as the predetermined number, an actual situation using a plurality of third actual axes is performed, and an actual situation of multifaceted aspects can be realized.

  When there are a plurality of third actual axes determined by the actual axis determining unit, a plurality of third actual axes may satisfy the actual condition for one game scene. In this case, the actual contents may be determined using all the third actual axes satisfying the actual condition, or the actual contents may be determined using a predetermined number of the third actual axes in descending order of priority.

  (5) The point of interest may fluctuate during the progress of the game, and when the point of interest is changed during the progress of the game, the actual-axis determining unit is based on the point of interest after the change. Preferably, the priority is reset for each of the third live axis candidates, and a predetermined number of high-priority live axis candidates are redetermined as the third live axes.

  According to this configuration, for example, in the case where the actual situation is performed using the actual condition axis focusing on the player who is aiming for the title as the third actual condition axis, the attention point is changed as the player descends. In this case, since the third live action axis is reset according to the change, the live action policy can be changed flexibly according to the change in the game development.

  (6) A focus point input unit that receives an input instruction of a player for designating a focus point is further provided, and the live axis determination unit is a live axis candidate of the third live axis related to the focus point specified by the player It is preferable to set the priorities of the actual axis candidates of the third actual axis so that the priority of the third actual axis is high.

  According to this configuration, when a point of interest that the player is interested in is input, the candidate for the third actual axis related to the target point is preferentially determined as the third actual axis. For this reason, it is possible to perform actual situations according to the needs of the player.

  (7) It is preferable that the actual content notifying unit notifies the player of the actual content using at least one of voice, text, and an image.

  According to this configuration, since the actual situation using only text and images is performed in addition to the actual situation using only voice as in an actual professional baseball broadcast, the actual contents can be more reliably transmitted to the player.

(8) The game is a game that simulates a game by a plurality of teams,
The point of interest preferably includes the position of the game in the game space, information about the team, and information about the players making up the team.

  According to this configuration, the actual situation axis is determined based on the position of the game such as the A class battle and the top-of-the-line battle, information on the team such as the ranking and winning consecutively, and information on the players such as struggling for batting king The actual situation according to the game contents can be appropriately performed.

  According to the present invention, at least two types of live axes that match the point of interest for the game content are determined, and live contents are determined according to live data corresponding to these live axes. For this reason, it is possible to realize a multifaceted actual situation in which a game is lived at a plurality of angles like an actual announcer, and it is possible to realize an actual situation rich in realism.

  In addition, since one of the at least two types of the actual situation axis is set to a consistent point that does not change throughout the game, it is possible to realize a realistic situation that is not disturbed by the actual situation policy and rich in realism.

  Also, if the live axis once decided does not change at all, the live axis will not match the game development, and there is a risk that the realism will decline on the contrary, but in the present invention, the live axis that can change according to the game scene also Because it is defined, it is possible to realize a variety of actual conditions.

  FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram of game device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The game apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 3 includes an actual situation axis determination unit 301, an actual condition content determination unit 302, an actual condition content notification unit 303, an attention point input unit 304, a game scene detection unit 305, an actual condition axis candidate storage unit 306, and an actual condition data storage unit. 307, a game progress control unit 308, and a point of interest information storage unit 309.

  The live situation axis determination unit 301 reads the focus point information that is the focus point with respect to the game content from the focus point information storage unit 309, and uses the read focus point information to set a plurality of live situations in which a live situation axis that matches the game content is set in advance. Determine from the axis candidates. Here, the actual condition axis includes at least an actual condition axis that does not change according to the game scene and an actual condition axis that can change according to the game scene.

  The actual situation axis of the whole game includes, for example, a game axis (an example of the first actual situation axis) relating to the actual situation policy of the entire game and an expected axis (an example of the second actual situation axis) relating to the prediction of the game development. The actual situation axis that can change depending on the game scene includes, for example, an attention axis (an example of a third actual situation axis) related to an event occurring in the game.

  The fact that it does not change depending on the game scene means that once it is determined at the start of the game, it is not changed until the game is over. Further, the phrase “can change depending on the game scene” means that even after the game is determined once at the start of the game, it may be changed when the point-of-interest information is changed after a pitcher change or the like. The “actual situation axis” refers to an index that defines an actual situation policy, and each actual situation axis is associated with actual situation data to be described later.

  Then, for each of the game axis, the prediction axis, and the attention axis, the actual condition determination unit 301 matches the match axis, the prediction axis, and the attention that matches the actual target game from a plurality of predetermined actual condition candidates. Determine each axis. Specifically, the actual situation axis determination unit 301 sets priority for each of the candidate for the game axis, the predicted axis, and the target axis using the point-of-interest information at the start of the game. An axis, an expected axis, and an attention axis are determined. Here, the priority is set to a larger value as the candidate for the live situation axis that matches the live game. Hereinafter, the priority is assumed to take a value of 0 to 10.

  The game axes include, for example, the opening game, the first battle, the A class battle, the early season, mid season, late season, Japan series, climax series, and the like. Each of these game axes is previously associated with live data in which live content suitable for the content is defined. Therefore, for example, if the opening game is determined as the game axis, the player will be notified of the actual contents suitable for the contents of the opening game.

  Hereinafter, an example of a priority setting method for the game axis will be described. For example, when the number of games in the league game is the first game, 10 is set as the priority on the game axis of the opening game, and when the number of games is other than the first game, 0 is set as the priority.

  For example, the higher the priority in the league of the leading battle, the higher the value is set as the ranking of the two teams in the league approaches the first place, and the higher the game approaches the end of the league match. .

  The priority is set higher as the ranking in the league of both teams competing in the A-class battle gets closer to the 3rd and 4th places, and the higher the priority is as the game approaches the end of the league match. Is done.

  The priority on the game axis at the beginning of the season is set lower as the game approaches the end of the league. For example, if the number of matches is n and the total number of league matches is Nmax (for example, 135), the priority is set to 10 × (Nmax−n) / Nmax.

  In the mid-season game axis, the priority is set higher as the number of games approaches the middle of the league (the median value of all games, for example 67).

  The priority on the game axis at the end of the season is set higher as the game approaches the end of the league. For example, the priority is set to 10 × (n / Nmax).

  As the priority in the game axis of the Japan series, 10 is set when the game corresponds to the Japan series. Further, the priority on the game axis of the climax series is set to 10 if the game corresponds to the climax series.

  In this way, when determining the game axis, as the point-of-interest information, game information indicating the number of matches in the league game, the ranking of both teams in the league, and the position of the game in the game space (Japan series and climax) A priority is set for each match axis candidate using a series, etc.). And the candidate of the game axis | shaft in which the highest priority was set is determined as a game axis used in the game used as a live condition.

  The actual announcer decides a rough live policy throughout the game based on the information that the game to be live is the opening game, the information that it is the final game of the seeds, and the information about the rankings of both teams in the match There are things to do. In order to reflect the actual policy by such an announcer, the game axis is determined in this embodiment.

  Further, in the same way as the game axis determination method, the actual condition determination unit 301 sets a priority for the prediction axis candidate based on the point-of-interest information at the start of the game, and the prediction axis with the highest priority is set. The candidate is determined as the expected axis to be used in the actual situation.

  As the prediction axis, for example, an ace confrontation, a pitcher battle, and a batting battle are included. Hereinafter, an example of setting the priority for each candidate on the prediction axis will be described. For example, 10 is set as the priority in the predicted axis of the ace confrontation when the starting pitcher of both teams competing is an ace. Here, ace refers to the pitcher with the highest defense rate among the pitchers constituting the team. Here, as the defense rate of both aces becomes lower, the priority of the expected axis of ace confrontation may be set lower. For example, the priority on the predicted axis of the pitcher game is set to a larger value as the defense rate of both starting pitchers is closer and the average batting rate of both teams is lower.

  In the predicted axis of the batting battle, the priority is set to a higher value as the average batting rate of both opposing teams is higher, and the priority is set to be higher as the defense rate of the starting pitcher is lower.

  In this way, when determining the predicted axis, priority is set for each candidate for the predicted axis using player information such as the defense rate of the starting pitcher and the average batting average within the team as the point of interest information. And the candidate of the prediction axis | shaft in which the highest priority was set is determined as a prediction axis | shaft used in the game of a live condition object.

  For example, if the ace of both teams climbs, the actual announcer will proceed with the actual situation in anticipation of a pitcher battle. In addition, even if the average batting average of both teams is high, if both teams have a low defense rate of the starting pitcher, they will expect to enter a batting battle. In order to reflect the actual policy by the actual announcer who predicts the game development according to the state of the team to be competed and the pitcher to climb, the forecast axis is determined in the present embodiment.

  Further, in the same way as the game axis determination method, the actual condition determination unit 301 sets priorities for attention axis candidates based on the attention point information at the start of the game, and sets the priority to 3 in descending order of priority. One attention axis candidate is determined as an attention axis to be used in a live game.

  As attention axes, for example, players fighting for titles, relaying complete games, hitting all previous starters, hitting good start, improving relief, paying attention to players, paying attention to teams, paying attention to wins, paying attention to records, and paying attention to managers, etc. Is included. Examples of titles include batting king, batting king, stealing king, and homerun king.

  For example, when a player has the highest batting average in the league and there is a player who has the first place in the league, the priority is, for example, at least one of the opposing teams For example, 9 is set to a higher value as there is a player with a higher batting average ranking in the league. As for the title struggles of the other batting kings, stealing kings, and homerun kings, as with batting kings, the higher the priority, the higher the priority.

  The priority in the attention axis during the complete game relay is, for example, when at least one starting pitcher has suppressed all innings to three-way retreat when a predetermined inning (for example, three times) is completed, for each candidate of the attention axis The priority is reset, and at that time, for example, a priority of 8 is set. Then, if at least one pitcher keeps all innings in triplicate when a predetermined inning (for example, 6 times) is completed, the priority is reset for each candidate of the attention axis. Priority is set. As described above, a higher priority is set for the attention axis during the complete game as the inning progresses.

  The priority in the attention axis of all hits of the previous fielder fielder is set when, for example, one of the opposing teams hits one field in the previous game, and as the number of hits increases A high value is set.

  For example, the priority is set when at least one of the starting pitchers is making a good pitch as in the case of a complete game, and the higher the priority is set as the number of innings that are making a good pitch increases. Is done. Here, the case where the starting pitcher is making a good pitch corresponds to the case where the starting pitcher is suppressed within a low point (for example, one point).

  The priority is set to a higher priority as the average value of the defense rate of the pitcher is higher in the attention axis of relief enhancement. For example, a high value is set for the priority on the attention axis of attention to the player when there is a famous player. The priority is increased by a predetermined coefficient when the player inputs a player as a point of interest. The priority on the attention axis focused on the team is set to a higher value as the team ranks higher. This priority increases when a player inputs a team as a point of interest and is multiplied by a predetermined coefficient.

  For example, at least one of the opposing teams has recently won a consecutive win or consecutive loss, and a higher value is set as the number of consecutive wins or consecutive losses increases.

  For example, the priority on the attention axis focused on the record is set when there is a player who has a high possibility of setting a new record in the team, and a higher value is set as the achievement of the new record increases. For example, when the director is a famous director, a high value is set as the priority on the attention axis focused on the director. This priority is increased by multiplying a predetermined coefficient when the player selects the manager as the point of interest.

  In this way, when determining the focus axis, as the focus point information, the state of the team such as whether the starting pitcher has continued good pitching, whether all the starter fielders have hit well, or the relief pitcher is enriched The priority is set for each candidate of the attention axis. And the candidate of the attention axis | shaft with a priority from the top to the 3rd is determined as an expected axis | shaft used in a game of an actual condition. In this way, by using a plurality of attention axes, it is possible to reproduce the fact that an actual announcer conducts a live situation from a multifaceted perspective, and it is possible to expand the live content.

  Also, the attention axis is re-determined not only at the start of the game, but also during the game, with the priority being reset such that the starting pitcher continues the complete game or continues a good pitch. Therefore, it is possible to flexibly change the actual policy with respect to changes in game development. For example, even when the player's attention axis is determined at the start of the game, the player may drop. In this case, it is not preferable to perform the actual situation according to the attention axis of the title fighting player. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the attention axis can be appropriately changed even during a game.

  The actual axis candidate storage unit 306 stores an actual axis table that stores all candidates for the game axis, the predicted axis, and the target axis used in the present embodiment. FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the data structure of the live axis table stored in the live axis candidate storage unit 306. As shown in FIG. 4, the live axis table is a table having a two-dimensional data structure in which one live axis candidate is stored in one record, and the axis type, name, attribute, and live data address fields. It has. FIG. 4 shows a part of all the candidates for the live axis used in the present embodiment.

  The type of the axis indicates whether the actual axis corresponds to the game axis, the expected axis, or the attention axis. The name is a name attached to the actual situation axis, and corresponds to “A-class battle”, “ACE confrontation”, etc. described above. The attribute indicates the attribute of the attention axis, and includes, for example, a player, a manager, and a team. The attribute usage will be described later. The live data address indicates a memory address where the live data corresponding to the live axis is stored. The live axis determining unit 301 sets priorities for each of the live axis candidates stored in the live axis table shown in FIG. 4, one game axis, one expected axis, and maximum Three expected axes are determined. The live content determination unit 302 refers to the live data corresponding to the game axis, the predicted axis, and the live data address of the predicted axis determined when a predetermined game scene is detected. The live axis table shown in FIG. 4 is merely an example, and is not limited to that shown in FIG.

  The actual condition data storage unit 307 is provided corresponding to each actual condition axis, and stores the actual condition data in which the actual condition contents corresponding to the game scene are defined. 5 to 9 are conceptual diagrams showing an example of the live data. The live data has a data structure in a table format in which game scenes and live content are associated with each other.

  FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing a part of the live data associated with the “game axis” of “A class battle”. In the “A class battle” game axis, the contents of the actual situation when both teams competing to enter the A class are defined. In this embodiment, since one league is composed of six teams, first to third places are defined as A class, and fourth to sixth places are defined as B class.

  FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram showing a part of the live data associated with the expected axis of “ACE confrontation”. The expected axis of “ACE confrontation” stipulates the actual situation when the starting pitchers of both teams are ACE.

  FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram showing a part of the live data corresponding to the attention axis “complete game relay”. The attention axis of “Completely relaying the game” stipulates the actual situation when one pitcher of both opposing teams continues the complete game. A perfect match means not letting any batter come out.

  FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram showing a part of the live data corresponding to the attention axis of the “battling title player” of the batting king. The focus of “title fighting players” stipulates the actual contents focusing on the players who are fighting for the title of the batting king.

  FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram showing a part of the live data corresponding to the general-purpose axis. The general-purpose axis is an axis having no particular point of interest, such as a match axis, a predicted axis, and a focus axis, and the corresponding live data defines live contents for simply explaining the game situation. Note that the game scenes and actual contents defined in FIGS. 5 to 9 are merely examples, and other game scenes and actual contents may be defined.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the actual content determination unit 302 includes a plurality of actual axes that satisfy the actual condition according to the game scene from the actual axes determined by the actual axis determination unit 301, or at least a plurality of actual axes for the entire game. The actual condition axis is determined, and the actual contents are determined based on the actual condition data corresponding to the determined actual condition axis. Specifically, the live content determination unit 302 determines the live axes satisfying the live conditions in the order of the game axis, the predicted axis, and the attention axis, and the live conditions based on the live data corresponding to the live axes satisfying the live conditions. Determine the content.

  Here, if there are a plurality of live axes that satisfy the live conditions corresponding to the game scene among the game axes, the predicted axes, and the attention axes determined by the live situation determining unit 301, The actual contents may be determined based on the actual data corresponding to the actual axis. In the present embodiment, the live condition is defined so that when the focus axis is used in the case where a plurality of live axes are used, at least one of the game axis and the expected axis is always used. In other words, as a case where a plurality of actual axes are used, the actual condition combining the game axis, the predicted axis, the game axis and the attention axis, the predicted axis and the attention axis, and the actual condition combining the game axis, the predicted axis, and the attention axis are performed. .

  For example, in the case where the actual content is determined using another actual axis in addition to the attention axis in a certain game scene (for example, at the start of a game), the actual axis of at least one of the game axis and the predicted axis in the same game scene The actual contents are defined in the actual data corresponding to. In this case, the actual content of the attention axis is defined to supplement the actual content of at least one of the game axis and the predicted axis. As a result, a thick actual situation can be realized. In addition to the attention axis, when using another actual axis, at least one of the game axis and the predicted axis is used, so the actual situation according to the game scene should be realized while taking into consideration the overall flow of the game. Can do.

  Here, for example, a reinforcement flag is set in the actual data of the game axis and the predicted axis, and the actual content determination unit 302 determines whether to use the predicted axis and the attention axis in the actual condition according to the presence or absence of the reinforcement flag. May be. For example, it is assumed that a game axis and an expected axis satisfy a live condition in a certain game scene. In this case, if the reinforcement flag for this game scene is set to “Yes” in the predicted axis, the actual content determination unit 302 determines the actual content using the actual data of the predicted axis in addition to the match axis, If the reinforcement flag for this game scene is set to “none” on the axis, the actual contents may be determined using the actual data on the game axis.

  Further, it is assumed that the game axis, the prediction axis, and the attention axis satisfy the live conditions in a certain game scene. In this case, if the reinforcement flag is set to “present” in the attention axis in addition to the predicted axis, the actual condition determination unit 302 uses the actual data of the attention axis in addition to the match axis and the predicted axis. If the reinforcement flag of the attention axis is set to “none”, the actual contents may be determined using the actual data of the game axis and the predicted axis. Whether the game axis and the attention axis satisfy the actual condition, or when the prediction axis and the attention axis satisfy the actual condition, it may be determined whether or not the actual data of the attention axis is used.

  In this way, when the content that reinforces the actual content of the game axis is specified for a certain game scene in the predicted axis or the attention axis, the reinforcement flag for the game axis or the predicted axis for this game scene is “Yes” If set to ”, the actual content is determined by the combination of the match axis and the predicted axis, the combination of the match axis and the focused axis, the combination of the predicted axis and the focused axis, or the combination of the match axis, the predicted axis, and the focused axis. Will be. As a result, an actual situation that reinforces the game axis can be realized by using the predicted axis and the attention axis, and an actual situation with a thicker content can be realized.

  On the other hand, if the predicted content does not reinforce the actual content of the game axis for a certain game scene, but defines the actual content that may conflict with the game axis, the reinforcement flag for this game scene is set. Set to “None”. In addition, if the actual content of the game axis or the predicted axis is not reinforced in the focus axis and the actual content that may conflict with the game axis or the predicted axis is specified, If the reinforcement flag of the attention axis for the game scene is set to “none”, the actual contents are determined using only the game axis. As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the content is contradictory in a certain game scene from being performed.

  In addition, when it is determined that any of the game axis, the predicted axis, and the attention axis does not satisfy the actual condition, the actual condition determination unit 302 determines the actual condition using the actual condition data corresponding to the general-purpose axis. Note that the live situation data corresponding to the general-purpose axis defines the live content for all the game scenes detected by the game scene detection unit 305. Therefore, even if any of the game axis, the predicted axis, and the attention axis does not satisfy the actual condition, the actual condition can be determined according to the actual condition axis.

  FIG. 10 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the processing of the actual content determination unit 302. In the game scene S1, the game scene detected by the game scene detection unit 305 satisfies the live condition of the game axis. Therefore, the actual contents are determined from the actual data corresponding to the game axis. In the game scene S1, the game axis is indicated as “x”, and the corresponding live content is silent. In this case, the game axis satisfies the live conditions, but the live contents of the corresponding live data are silent, so nothing is notified to the player. In this way, a sense of urgency for the game can be enhanced by providing a silent setting and not performing the actual situation.

  In the game scene S2, since the game scene detected by the game scene detection unit 305 satisfies the actual condition of the game axis, the actual contents are determined according to the actual data corresponding to the game axis.

  In the game scenes S3 and S4, the game scene detected by the game scene detection unit 305 does not satisfy the live condition of the game axis, but satisfies the live condition of the expected axis. For this reason, in the game scenes S3 and S4, the actual contents are determined according to the actual data corresponding to the expected axis.

  In the game scenes S5 and S6, the game scene detected by the game scene detection unit 305 does not satisfy the live condition of the game axis and the expected axis, but satisfies the live condition of the attention axis. Therefore, in the game scenes S5 and S6, the actual contents are determined according to the actual data corresponding to the attention axis.

  In the game scene S7, the game scene detected by the game scene detection unit 305 does not satisfy any of the live conditions of the game axis, the prediction axis, and the attention axis. Accordingly, in the game scene S7, the actual contents are determined according to the actual data corresponding to the general-purpose axis. Thus, in the present embodiment, it can be seen that whether or not the live condition is satisfied is determined in the order of the game axis, the predicted axis, and the attention axis.

  Although FIG. 10 illustrates the case where any one of the live axes satisfies the live conditions, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of live axes may satisfy the live conditions in a certain game scene. In this case, since at least one of the game axis and the prediction axis is used, it is possible to make the actual situation consistent. Further, by using the attention axis in addition to the game axis and the prediction axis, it is possible to perform the actual situation suitable for the game scene while considering the flow of the entire game.

  Here, satisfying the live condition satisfies the case where the game scene detected in the live data corresponding to the live axis is defined. For example, it is assumed that “actual class A battle” is determined as the game axis by the actual situation determination unit 301 and the game scene at the start of the game is detected by the game scene detection unit 305. In this case, since “actual start time” is defined as a game scene in the actual data of “A class conflict” shown in FIG. 5, it is determined that the game axis satisfies the actual condition. Then, in the live data shown in FIG. 5, the live content corresponding to “at the start of the game” is determined as the live content to be notified to the player. In FIG. 5, the name of the team that is competing is inserted at *** (team name) to determine the actual contents.

  Further, it is assumed that the “actual ace confrontation” is determined as an expected axis by the live situation determination unit 301 and the game scene at the start of the fourth time is detected by the game scene detection unit 305. In this case, since the actual data of “ACE confrontation” shown in FIG. 6 defines “starting 4 times” as the game scene, it is determined that the predicted axis satisfies the actual condition.

  Whether or not the attention axis satisfies the live condition is determined in the same manner as the game axis and the prediction axis. However, in the present embodiment, a maximum of three attention axes are determined. Therefore, when multiple attention axes are determined, it is determined whether or not the live conditions are satisfied for the focus axes in descending order of priority, and the live contents are obtained using live data corresponding to the focus axes that satisfy the live conditions. It is determined.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the game scene detection unit 305 detects whether or not the game scene of the game progressed by the game progress control unit 308 has become a predetermined game scene. A trigger signal is output to the determination unit 302, and processing for determining actual contents is performed. Here, as the predetermined game scene, for example, the game starts at the start of the game, at the start of the inning, at the end of the inning, at the end of the game, at the time of home run, at the time of hit, at the time of scoring, and at the time of theft This is the case when the scene is to be corrected.

  The point-of-interest information storage unit 309 stores point-of-interest information that is used when the live axis determination unit 301 determines priorities for the live axis candidates. More specifically, the point-of-interest information includes the number of matches in the league game of each team appearing in the game, the ranking in the league, the game information, the ability value of each player, the battle history, and the like. As the ability value of each player, a batting rate, a defense rate, the number of home runs, the number of hits, the number of steals, etc. are adopted. The competition history includes all competition results of all teams, and includes a score for each inning in each game.

  The game progress control unit 308 receives an input instruction from the player based on the signal from the touch input detection circuit 14a shown in FIG. 2, and advances the game according to the baseball rules according to the received input instruction. FIG. 11 is a screen diagram for explaining an outline of a baseball game progressed by the game progress control unit 308.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the baseball game is a baseball game in which the pitcher character CL2 throws the ball object BL and the batter character CL1 returns the ball object BL with the bat object BT.

  In this baseball game, when the player is on the attack side, the player touches the liquid crystal monitor 3a to move the meet cursor K displayed in the outer frame WK on the display screen, and the ball object BL reaches the vicinity of the home base. Sometimes, the meat cursor K is positioned on the ball object BL and a batting command is input. Then, the bat object BT is displayed as a swing, and the ball object BL is hit back.

  In addition, the game progress control unit 308 creates a battle history from the battle result when the game ends, and writes the battle history in the point-of-interest information storage unit 309. In addition, the game progress control unit 308 also includes information on the starting player during the game, information on players related to the substitution, and information on the current outcount, ball count, strike count, score, etc. Is written in the point-of-interest information storage unit 309. Thereby, the actual condition axis determination unit 301 recognizes the starting pitcher, the player related to the player change if there is a player change, the current score by referring to the point of interest information storage unit 309, and based on the recognized information, It can be determined whether or not to reset.

  The point-of-interest input unit 304 receives an input instruction from the player for designating a point of interest regarding the live announcement. Here, the point-of-interest input unit 304 displays a selection screen for selecting a point of interest for the player at the start of a game, for example, and causes the player to select a point of interest through the selection screen. Accepts point input instructions. In the present embodiment, players, managers, and teams are included as points of interest that can be selected by the player, and the player arbitrarily inputs any one of the points of interest. When a point of interest is selected, the priority of the live announcement about that point becomes high, so that the player can select his / her favorite announcement.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen for selecting a point of interest regarding a live announcement. As shown in FIG. 12, the point of interest selection screen includes a player button 2101, a manager button 2102, and a team button 2103. The player can input a point of interest by touching any one of the player buttons 2101 to 2103. If there is no point of interest, the player may touch the return button 2104 without touching the player button 2101 to the team button 2103.

  Here, when the focus point is input by the focus point input unit 304, the live axis determination unit 301 sets the priority of the focus axis candidate related to the input focus point high. The relevance to the point of interest input by the player is shown by the attributes shown in FIG. For example, when a player is designated as a point of interest, the priority of the attribute of the player's attention axis candidate is set to be relatively higher than that of other attention axis candidates. Similarly, when a director or team is designated as a point of interest, the priority of the attention axis candidate of the manager or team is set to be relatively higher than that of other attention axis candidates.

  Specifically, when a player inputs a player as a point of interest, the priority of the target axis whose attribute is the player is multiplied by a predetermined coefficient and set to a high value such as 10 or 9, for example. Similarly, when a manager or a team is input as a point of interest by the player, the attribute is set to a value with a high priority of the director or team's attention axis. In this way, by causing the player to select a favorite point of interest, the content that the player wants to know is made live, and the player's interest in the game can be further increased.

  In the example of FIG. 4, there is a title fighting player as a candidate for the attention axis of the player. The actual condition data corresponding to the attention axis of the title fighting player defines the contents of the actual situation such as information on players who are fighting for the title and past results. Therefore, if a player is selected as a point of interest, the possibility that this attention axis will be used in the actual situation increases, and the player can know information on the player during the match.

  Further, in the example of FIG. 4, there is a director's perspective as a candidate of the attention axis whose attribute is the director. For example, “Today ’s opponents have a lot of pitchers, so I ’d like to pick up fewer opportunities,” and comments from past directors. In response to the comment “Before the match, I was able to get a solid score with the squeeze” and “There was a comment that the pitcher team should be strengthened this season, but the relief team is also very active in this match.” The actual contents of the director's perspective are stipulated. Therefore, if the manager is selected as the point of interest, the possibility that this attention axis is used in the actual situation increases, and the player can obtain the actual situation of the manager's perspective during the match.

  In the example of FIG. 4, there is a team line of sight as a candidate for the attention axis of the team. In the actual condition data corresponding to the attention axis of the team line of sight, for example, the contents of the actual condition for announcing the past similar game of the team, the recent team situation, the winning / losing situation, and the like are defined. Therefore, when a team is selected as a point of interest, the possibility that this attention axis is used in the actual situation increases, and the player can obtain information about the team during the match.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the actual content notification unit 303 notifies the player of the actual content determined by the actual content determination unit 302. In the present embodiment, the live content notification unit 303 notifies the player of live content using at least one of voice, text, and images. When the live content is notified by voice, the live content defined in the live data is output from the speaker 6 by voice. When the live contents are notified in text, a character string indicating the live contents defined in the live data is displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 3a. When the live contents are notified by an image, the image data defined as the live data is displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 3a. In the case where the live contents are notified by an image, the live data defines image data according to the game scene. Accordingly, the image data corresponding to the game scene defined in the live data is displayed on the liquid crystal monitor unit 3a. Here, as the image data corresponding to the game scene, for example, image data in which the expression of joy, such as a player who is home-in or a manager when the team scores, is improved. In addition, by performing an actual situation in which voice, text, and images are appropriately combined, the content of the actual situation can be more reliably transmitted to the player.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an operation when the game apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention determines the live axis. First, the game progress control unit 308 performs an initialization process when a game start input instruction is given by the player (S401). Here, the initialization process includes the process of determining the starting player of the player's team, determining the opponent team, specifying the starting member of the opponent team, and specifying the number of matches in the league game. .

  Next, the actual condition determining unit 301 needs attention point information necessary to set the priority among the attention point information stored in the attention point information storage unit 309 from information such as the starting players of both teams in the battle team. Is identified (S402).

  Next, the actual situation axis determination unit 301 specifies the point-of-interest information (for example, the number of games played in the league game, ranking, game information) necessary for setting the game axis among the point-of-interest information identified in S402. Using these pieces of information, priorities are set for each match axis candidate defined in the actual condition axis table shown in FIG. 4 (S403). Next, the actual situation axis determination unit 301 determines the game axis having the highest priority as the game axis to be used for the game from among the game axis candidates whose priorities are set in S403 (S404).

  FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of determining the game axis. FIG. 14 shows processing in the case where the number of matches in the league match is the first, that is, the opening match. Therefore, 10 is set as the highest priority for the opening game. On the other hand, since all teams in the league have the same lead in the battle against the top spot, a lower priority (for example, 8) than the opening round is set. Therefore, in this case, the opening game is determined as the game axis used for the game.

  Next, the actual situation axis determination unit 301 specifies the point-of-interest information (for example, the defense rate of the starting pitcher, the average batting average within the team) necessary for setting the predicted axis among the point-of-interest information specified in S402. Using these pieces of information, priorities are set for the respective predicted axis candidates defined in the actual axis table shown in FIG. 4 (S405). Next, the actual condition determining unit 301 determines the predicted axis with the highest priority as the predicted axis to be used for the game from among the predicted axis candidates whose priorities are set in S405 (S406).

  FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of determination of an expected axis. FIG. 15 shows a process when the starting pitcher of both teams competing is an ace. Therefore, 9 which is a high priority is set for the ace confrontation. On the other hand, a lower priority (for example, 6) than the ace confrontation is set for the pitcher game because the average batting average of both teams competing is relatively high. Therefore, in this case, the pitcher game is determined as an expected axis to be used in the game.

  Next, the live axis determination unit 301 sets the attention point information necessary for setting the attention axis among the attention point information identified in S402 (for example, whether all previous starter fielders are hitting or relief is enhanced). And using these pieces of information, priority is set for each candidate of the target axis defined in the live axis table shown in FIG. 4 (S407). Next, the actual situation axis determination unit 301 determines the three attention axis candidates as the attention axes to be used in the game in descending order of priority from the prediction axis candidates whose priorities are set in S407 (S408).

  FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of determining the attention axis. In the right column of FIG. 16, some of the attention axis candidates are listed. A priority is set for each candidate of these attention axes based on the attention point information. And as shown in the left column of FIG. 16, the candidate of the attention axis | shaft of priority 1st-3rd is determined as an attention axis | shaft used for a game. As described above, at the start of the game, the game axis, the predicted axis, and the attention axis are respectively determined.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 13, the three attention axes having the first to third priorities are determined. For example, for the attention axis candidates whose priority is equal to or lower than the threshold, the priority is within the third. Even if it exists, you may make it not determine as an attention axis used in a game.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the first half showing an example of the actual content determination process. FIG. 18 is a second half flowchart illustrating an example of the actual content determination process. First, when the game scene detection unit 305 detects that the game scene has become a predetermined game scene to be live (YES in S501), the live content determination unit 302 plays a game against the detected game scene. It is determined whether the axis satisfies the live condition (S502). On the other hand, when the game scene is not a predetermined game scene (NO in S501), the process returns to S501.

  If it is determined that the game axis satisfies the live condition (YES in S502), it is determined that the predicted axis does not satisfy the live condition (NO in S510), and it is determined that the attention axis does not satisfy the live condition. If it is determined (NO in S516), the actual contents corresponding to the game scene detected from the actual data corresponding to the game axis are determined (S503).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the focus axis satisfies the live condition (YES in S516), the live content corresponding to the game scene detected from the match data and the live data corresponding to the focus axis is determined (S517).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the predicted axis satisfies the live condition (YES in S510), it is determined whether the target axis satisfies the live condition (S511), and if it is determined that the target axis does not satisfy the live condition. (NO in S511), the actual contents corresponding to the game scene detected from the actual data of the game axis and the predicted axis are determined (S512).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the focus axis satisfies the live condition (YES in S511), the live content corresponding to the game scene detected from the live data of the game axis, the predicted axis, and the focus axis is determined (S513). .

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the game axis does not satisfy the live condition (NO in S502), it is determined whether or not the predicted axis satisfies the live condition (S504). If it is determined that the predicted axis satisfies the live condition (YES in S504), it is determined whether or not the target axis satisfies the live condition (S514), and it is determined that the target axis does not satisfy the live condition. (NO in S514), the actual contents corresponding to the game scene detected from the actual data corresponding to the expected axis are determined (S505).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the attention axis satisfies the condition of the actual condition (YES in S514), the actual contents are determined from the actual data corresponding to the predicted axis and the attention axis (S515).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the predicted axis does not satisfy the live condition (NO in S504), it is determined whether the target axis satisfies the live condition (S506). If it is determined that the attention axis satisfies the condition of the actual condition (YES in S506), the actual condition contents corresponding to the game scene detected from the actual condition data corresponding to the attention axis are determined (S507).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the target axis does not satisfy the live condition (NO in S506), the live content corresponding to the game scene detected from the live data of the general-purpose axis is specified. Here, as to whether or not the attention axis shown in S506, S511, S514, or S516 satisfies the live condition, it is first determined whether or not the attention axis with the first priority satisfies the live condition. For example, it is determined whether the attention axis with the second highest priority satisfies the live condition, and if not, it is determined whether the attention axis with the third highest priority satisfies the live condition.

  In S509, the live content notification unit 303 notifies the player of the live content specified in any of S503, S505, S507, S508, S512, S513, S515, and S517. Thereafter, the process shown in FIG. 17 is repeated during the game, and the live conditions are determined in the order of the match axis, the predicted axis, the attention axis, and the general-purpose axis. Done.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing a process for re-determining the target axis. First, when the actual axis determination unit 301 detects a change in point-of-interest information (YES in S601), it determines whether it is necessary to re-determine the target axis (S602). Here, the point-of-interest information is updated when, for example, a player is changed or a score is entered. For example, when a player fighting for a title is used as the attention axis, it is determined that it is necessary to re-determine when the player changes. In addition, when a predetermined inning (for example, three times) has elapsed, for example, when the starting pitcher continues a complete game or a good pitch, it is determined that the attention axis needs to be determined again.

  On the other hand, if the point-of-interest information is not changed (NO in S601), or if it is determined that it is not necessary to re-determine the target axis (NO in S602), the process is terminated. Next, the priority is reset for each candidate of the target axis according to the updated target point information (S603). For example, when the starting pitcher continues a complete game or a good pitch when a predetermined inning has elapsed, the priority is set high during the complete match and during the starting good pitch.

  Next, among the attention axis candidates whose priorities have been reset in S603, the attention axes having the first to third priorities are re-determined as attention axes used in the game (S604). Thereby, for example, when the starting pitcher continues to make a good pitch, there is a high possibility that the complete match or the starting pitch is determined as an attention axis to be used for the match. Thus, by re-determining the attention axis, it is possible to perform the actual situation using the appropriate attention axis according to the game development, and to increase the realism of the actual situation.

  Next, actual examples of actual contents will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIGS. 20 to 22, the axis actual condition indicates the actual condition in the present embodiment, and the presence of a line indicates that the actual condition is satisfied. FIG. 20 is a diagram showing an actual example 1 of live contents. In Example 1, the A-class battle is used as the game axis, the ace confrontation is used as the expected axis, and the win / loss is determined as the attention axis.

  In Example 1, since the game axis and the predicted axis satisfy the actual condition in the game scene at the start of the actual condition, the actual condition is determined according to the actual data of the A class battle and the ace confrontation. Here, “Today is the A-class battle, *** (team name) vs. *** (team name) showdown. One game that will not be lost, the starting is both the ace representing the ball world, *** (player name) ** and *** (player name)! The stadium is full with the two people watching.You may not need words anymore. Let's enjoy this confrontation! ” Is done.

  On the other hand, in the past, we will tell you about the 20th round of “*** (team name) vs. *** (team name). *** (team name) starts from *** (player name), The starter of *** (team name) is *** (player name). The game will start soon. "

  In this way, conventionally, the content of the game is simply informed, but in this embodiment, words such as A class battle and ace confrontation are adopted, and the starting pitcher and the ranking of both teams to fight are determined. It can be seen that the actual situation is taken into account.

  Further, in Example 1, when the game scene starts four times, the expected axis satisfies the actual condition, so the actual contents are determined according to the expected axis. Here, “The beginning is over, so far both aces are great pitching! *** (name of the commentator), Ace, I would like to say a bit, but what is the ace required? It ’s a win, because it ’s an ace, it ’s absolutely necessary to win. That ’s the condition of being an ace. ”

  On the other hand, in the past, it was 0 to 0 at the end of the beginning. (Explanator) It can be said that the beginning is a perfect pitching. Yes, so far it has become a mound that can not be complained. It was live.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the word “ace” is used in the present embodiment, and the actual contents are emphasized that the ace is a throw-in.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an example of the actual contents in another game scene of Example 1. FIG. 21 shows the actual contents in the game scene at the end of six backs. In addition, since the starting pitcher has continued hits 0 and four dead balls 0, “continuing a complete game” has been newly added as an attention axis. Then, since the live condition of the complete game on the attention axis satisfies the live condition, the live content is determined as the complete game continues.

  Here, “Finished 6 times *** (name of the pitcher), perfect pitching is continuing! Customers at the stadium are also beginning to mess up. Will we achieve a big record!” . On the other hand, in the past, it was reported that “6 times ended and 0-0.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, a phrase such as “continuing perfect pitching” is used in the present embodiment, and an actual situation is performed in consideration of whether or not the starting pitcher can achieve a complete game.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram showing an actual example 2 of the actual contents. In Example 2, the A-class battle is used as the game axis, the ace confrontation is used as the prediction axis, and the players who are interested in winning and losing as the attention axis are used. Since the game axis satisfies the live conditions in the game scene when the first home run is hit three times, the live contents are determined according to the live data of the A class battle. Here, it is said that “Home run! This is a game that cannot be defeated, a big, big one!” On the other hand, in the past, “Home Run! *** (Team Name) has been preempted by this solo home run” has been in practice.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, a phrase such as “a game that cannot be defeated” is employed in the present embodiment, and the actual situation is taken into consideration in the A-class battle.

  Also, in Example 2, the title struggling player (king batting king) in the game scene when the player competing for the title hits a hit satisfies the live conditions, so the title struggling player (king batting king) The actual contents are determined according to the actual data. Here, “The hit in front of the center! *** (player name) in the battle for the top batter, hitting the hit rate with the hit!” On the other hand, in the past, it was said that it was a hit before the center. As described above, in the present embodiment, in comparison with the prior art, when a player whose hit rate is within the range hits a hit, an actual situation is realized in which it is understood.

  As can be seen from the above example, in the present embodiment, it is understood that a multifaceted actual situation is performed according to various aspects as compared with the conventional case, and the realness of the actual situation is increased.

  In the above embodiment, a baseball game has been described as an example. However, any game can be applied as long as a live announcement can be adopted. For example, the present invention can be applied to games relating to sports competitions such as soccer, tennis, volleyball and basketball, games relating to martial arts such as boxing, judo and karate, horse racing games, mahjong games with explanations, RPG and the like.

  For example, assuming a case where the present invention is applied to a horse racing game, the following correspondence can be taken and installed in the game.

  As a first actual condition axis regarding the actual condition policy of the entire game, it is conceivable to select any race in the Japan Cup (G1), the local horse race, or the Japan Cup. The second live-action axis for predicting game development is the race expectation of the winning horse or the top winning horse, and the third live-action axis for events occurring in the game is over the predetermined number It is conceivable to select the occurrence of a falling horse or a large hole. As a live announcement in such a configuration, for example, the following flow can be taken.

  For example, by setting the Japan Cup race as the first live axis, this game can be positioned as a race that has a particularly high level of attention and expectation by fans. This point is reflected in the entire game announcement. And if the winning horse, which was expected as the second live axis, did not swing, and the horse with a large hole stood at the top, under the conventional live situation, “This is unexpected! A horse jumped to the top.” According to the present invention, according to the present invention, "B horse (predicted horse) is going back! Fans screams and angry nationwide will swell! Instead, horse A is the top!" An announcement is made regarding the event (large hole) when the game development is not anticipated while drawing the flow of the cup.

  On the other hand, if the expected horse wins the top as expected, the actual situation such as “It is a development as expected. B horse (the winning horse) is strong.” For example, “If you have the dream and expectation of fans all over the country, you can drive the top of Horse B! It ’s a powerful run as expected!” Announcement will be made.

  Furthermore, if horse B (predicted winning horse) that was running at the top is overtaken by another horse C in front of the goal, if it is the actual situation in the past, “C horse, catching up with anger! According to the present invention, the actual situation such as “C horse, miracle reversal! B horse fan ’s dream of conquering G1?

  In any of these announcements, points that do not change throughout the game (Japan Cup) are reflected, so even if the events that occur are different or the time in the game passes, it is consistent Announcement flow is maintained and a natural and realistic game can be realized.
