Description

  The present invention relates to a game in which a screen is touched with a fingertip according to presented conditions.

  Touch the screen with the number buttons randomly displayed in a matrix with your fingertips in the order of the number buttons, and if the number buttons are touched in the correct order, delete the number buttons from the screen, There is a known game in which all the number buttons are pressed to clear one face and compete for the speed of clearing. Specifically, the numeric buttons randomly arranged in a matrix are touched in the order of “1” → “2” → “3” → “4” → “5”.

  However, in the order-order touch game as described above, the number buttons that must be touched next are exclusive. For example, “2” must be touched after “1”, and “3” must always be touched after that.

  For this reason, the game is simply a game of reflexes, making the game monotonous and not interesting. In addition, when the touch screen is a small screen of about 3 to 4 inches, there is a limit to the number of number buttons that can be displayed, and as the skill level increases, it becomes easier to clear the game. It was difficult to keep them tethered.

  The present invention has been made in view of these points, and can be used to train not only reflexes but also thinking and calculation skills in a short period of time, and the number of which can be changed in accordance with the level of skill. It is a technical problem to provide a button quick-press game device.

The present invention employs the following means in order to solve the above problems.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, numerical buttons are randomly arranged in each of a touch screen that also serves as a display device and a plurality of regions partitioned in a matrix on the touch screen, and a target number is provided outside the plurality of regions. When a numerical value associated with the numeric button matches the target numeral, or two or more numeric buttons are touched. When the total value of the numerical values associated with each numeric button coincides with the target number when the touch is made, the touch of the numeric button is regarded as a correct answer, and the touched numeric button is touched with respect to the display control means. Game determination means for disappearing from the screen, and measuring the time when all the numeric buttons on the touch screen have disappeared from the start of the game A measurement unit, a gaming device press numeric buttons early to be displayed on the touch screen by the display control means the measurement result by said measuring means.

  Here, as the game device, a smart phone or a tablet personal computer provided with a capacitive or pressure-sensitive touch panel screen of several inches can be used.

  According to the above, the correct number button for the target number displayed on the touch screen is not exclusive. For example, when the target number is “5”, the number button “5” may be directly touched. Further, “2” and “3” whose total value is the target numerical value may be touched simultaneously or sequentially, and the difficulty level of the game can be changed by controlling the number of combinations of number buttons with respect to the target numerical value.

  Therefore, even on a small touch screen of a 3 to 4 inch smart phone with a limited number of number buttons to be displayed, a combination of difficulty numbers corresponding to the skill level is displayed with respect to the target value. It can be set as a game which does not get tired of a high user.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the number button quick-press game device according to the first aspect is characterized in that the number buttons arranged in a matrix on the touch screen are 5 × 5.

  Numbers 1 to 5 are displayed on this number button, and the target number is a total obtained by randomly extracting up to six of the buttons that have not yet disappeared.

  In this way, the number range displayed on the number buttons is 1 to 5 and the number of target numbers to be extracted is 6 or less. It has been clarified by experiments by the present inventors that the number is a number.

  Specifically, the range of numbers displayed on the number buttons is 1 to 5, 1 to 6, 1 to 7, 1 to 9, and the number of target numbers to be extracted is 5, 6 or 8 combinations. When a smart phone was prepared and game play was performed on 18 subjects, the case where the number range displayed on the number buttons was 1 to 5 and the number of target numbers extracted was 6 or less was the most boring. I found that I can play.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a number button fast-press game device that can train not only the reflexes but also the thinking and calculation skills in a short time, and the difficulty level can be changed according to the skill level. it can.

The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an external view of a smart phone (game device) on which the game is installed.
As this game device, an Android terminal (trademark of Google Inc.), an iPhone (trademark of Apple Inc. licensed from Aiphone), or a Windows Phone (trademark of Microsoft Corporation) can be used.

  The smart phone (SMP) includes a touch panel (TP) that forms most of the upper surface thereof, and buttons (BT) provided at the lower part of the touch panel (TP). These buttons are buttons having a physical switch mechanism, and are assigned functions such as a menu button, a home button, and a return button.

  FIG. 2 is a hardware block diagram of the smart phone (game device). As shown in the figure, a central processing unit (CPU) functioning as display control means, game determination means, and measurement means, a flash memory (FM) connected by a bus (BUS) with a main memory (MM) as a center, and the above-mentioned Touch panel (TP).

  In the flash memory (FM), an application program (APL) is installed together with an operating system (OS). The application program (APL) is a program for causing the smart phone (SMP) to function as a game device, and is downloaded from a server on the network via a communication interface (communication IF).

  The flash memory (FM) further stores user data (PDATA) in which personal information of the user is registered and image data (IDATA) such as numeric buttons displayed on the touch panel (TP).

  The central processing unit (CPU) reads the application program (APL) from the flash memory (FM) and sequentially executes and processes the smartphone (SMP) via the bus (BUS) and the main memory (MM). ) Functions as a game device.

Based on the above hardware configuration, details of the game procedure executed by the application program (APL) will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 3, the central processing unit (CPU) displays a first screen when the user instructs a game start (by touching a START display not shown) on the touch panel (TP) according to the application program (APL). Target number “2”, 5 × 5 number buttons randomly arranged in a matrix are displayed.

  The menu button (menu) in the upper left is a button for ending the game, and the timer display window in the upper right displays a timer value that is counted up as the game progresses.

  “Reset” displayed at the bottom of the screen means resetting the arrangement of the numeric buttons. If the user does not like the arrangement of the numeric buttons, the user can change the arrangement of the numeric buttons by touching the button with a fingertip. In the rearrangement of the numeric buttons, the central processing unit (CPU) generates a random number based on a clock (not shown) and arranges the numeric buttons based on the random number. Is programmed to include “2”). Also, it is programmed so that a plurality of number buttons (for example, “1” and “2”) whose total value is the target number “2” are always arranged together with or in place of the same number buttons as the target number. ing.

  In FIG. 3, when the number button “2” (B11) is touched, the target number is cleared. Further, instead of the numeric buttons “2” (B11), the numeric buttons “1” (B13) and “1” (B22) may be sequentially touched. In this case, since the total value is “2”, the target number “2” is cleared as described above. When the target number “2” is cleared in this way, the number button touched to clear it disappears from the screen. When the next screen is displayed. The number button area becomes blank as many as the number buttons disappeared. In the screen of FIG. 3, for example, when the user touches “1” (B13) and “1” (B22) to clear the target number “2”, the target number “2” is cleared using two number buttons. Thus, the number button area for two frames disappears (blank area).

  In this game, erasing more number buttons earlier leads to good results, so two number buttons “1” and “1” are better than clearing the target number “2” with only one number button “2”. By clearing the target number “2” with “1”, more number buttons can be eliminated. In this way, it is possible to cultivate the ability to think in a short time which number buttons should be summed up as compared to a game where the same number buttons as the target numbers are intuitively touched.

  In FIG. 4, the target number is “14”, and the target number can be cleared by a combination of several number buttons. Here, as a first example, the target number “14” is determined by the total value “14” of “2” (B11), “2” (B23), “4” (B35), and “6” (B45). It can be cleared. Further, as a second example, the combination of “4” (B21), “5” (B32), and “5” (B42) results in a total value “14”, so that the target number can be cleared. However, in the first example, the target number is cleared by touching four number buttons, whereas in the second example, the target number is cleared by touching three number buttons. In this game, since the number of number buttons touched in the first example is larger, the number of number buttons (blank areas) to be eliminated can be increased.

  Similarly, in the screen example of FIG. 5, the target number is “4”. As a first example, four numbers of “1” (B21), “1” (B23), and “2” (B41) are provided. The target number “4” can be cleared by a combination of number buttons. As a second example, the target number “4” can be cleared with only one number button “4” (B45). Since the first example touches three numeric buttons and the second example touches one numeric button, the first example is advantageous in terms of the number of numeric buttons that can be eliminated by two.

  In FIG. 6, since the target number is “21”, there are five remaining number buttons, so the central processing unit (CPU) ensures that the sum of the number buttons always matches the target number. Programmed for display control.

  FIG. 7 shows a game clear screen, where the character “FIN” indicating the end of the game is displayed in the target number display area, at which point the timer count-up is stopped, and this game clear time (timer display) is displayed. It is displayed.

In addition, although illustration was abbreviate | omitted, the said game clear time may be transmitted to a server via communication IF, and you may make it compete | combine rank among the participants of the said game.
Moreover, although the case where the smart phone was used as the game terminal has been described, it is needless to say that it may be a game dedicated terminal.

In the present embodiment, the number buttons are 5 × 5, but the present invention is not limited to this.

Moreover, it is preferable that the numbers used as the number buttons are numbers in the range of 1 to 5, and the target number is preferably a total obtained by randomly extracting up to six of the number buttons that have not yet disappeared. It became clear by the experiment of the person. Specifically, the range of numbers displayed on the number buttons is 1 to 5, 1 to 6, 1 to 7, 1 to 9, and the number of target numbers to be extracted is 5, 6 or 8 combinations. When a smart phone was prepared and game play was performed on 18 subjects, the case where the number range displayed on the number buttons was 1 to 5 and the number of target numbers extracted was 6 or less was the most boring. I found that I can play.

  The present invention can be used for a smart phone that downloads and plays a game.
