This embodiment demonstrates the case where a movement control apparatus is implement | achieved using a portable terminal.

[1. Hardware configuration of mobile terminal]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of the appearance of a mobile terminal. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the mobile terminal. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mobile terminal 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a communication unit 13, an operation unit 14, a touch panel 15, and a display unit 16.

  The control unit 11 includes, for example, one or a plurality of microprocessors. The control unit 11 executes processing according to an operating system or other program stored in the storage unit 12.

  The storage unit 12 includes a main memory and a nonvolatile memory. A program executed by the control unit 11 is stored in the nonvolatile memory. For example, this program is downloaded from a server device via a communication network such as the Internet and stored in a nonvolatile memory. Alternatively, this program is copied from a computer-readable information storage medium such as a memory card and stored in a nonvolatile memory. In the main memory, a program read from the nonvolatile memory and data necessary when the control unit 11 executes processing are written.

  The communication unit 13 is for performing data communication. For example, the communication unit 13 performs data communication according to an instruction from the control unit 11.

  The operation unit 14 includes, for example, a button, a stick (lever), a keyboard, and the like, and is used for a user to perform an operation.

  The touch panel 15 is a general touch panel and detects a position touched by the user. The touch panel 15 can detect a plurality of positions touched by the user. As the touch panel 15, for example, a capacitive touch panel is used. In the capacitive touch panel, a position touched by the user is detected based on a change in electric charge generated when the surface of the touch panel is touched by the user. The position touched by the user is, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, Xs-Ys with the upper left vertex of the touch panel 15 as the origin O and the right direction and the lower direction as the Xs axis positive direction and the Ys axis positive direction, respectively. Represented by coordinate values in the coordinate system.

  The touch panel 15 supplies information corresponding to the position touched by the user to the operating system. Based on the information supplied from the touch panel 15, the operating system acquires the position touched by the user. For example, when a plurality of positions are touched by the user, the operating system acquires the plurality of contact positions and causes the storage unit 12 to store contact position data indicating the plurality of contact positions. The contact position data stored in the storage unit 12 by the operating system is referred to by a program other than the operating system.

  The touch panel 15 is provided so as to be superimposed on a display unit 16 described later. For this reason, the user can designate the position in the screen displayed on the display unit 16 by touching the surface of the touch panel 15. The user may make his / her finger (hand) contact the surface of the touch panel 15, or the user may make a part other than the finger (hand) contact the surface of the touch panel 15. In addition, for example, an object (touch pen or the like) held by the user may be brought into contact with the surface of the touch panel 15.

  The display unit 16 is, for example, a liquid crystal panel. The display unit 16 displays a screen according to instructions from the control unit 11.

  The mobile terminal 10 may include an optical disk drive or a memory card slot. The optical disk drive is for reading a program and data recorded on an optical disk (information storage medium). The memory card slot is for reading a program and data stored in a memory card (information storage medium). The program and data may be supplied to the mobile terminal 10 via an optical disk or a memory card and stored in the storage unit 12 (nonvolatile memory). The program and data described as being stored in the information storage medium may be acquired from the network via the communication unit 13.

[2. Game executed on portable terminal]
The mobile terminal 10 executes a game for moving a movement target in a display screen or a virtual space by executing a program read from the storage unit 12. In the present embodiment, a description will be given by taking as an example a game in which a user moves a moving target (for example, a ball) within a game screen and aims to bring the moving target into contact with a contact target (for example, a block).

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen. As shown in FIG. 3, the game screen 20 includes a ball 22 that moves within the game screen 20, a paddle 24 that is an injector for injecting the ball 22, a paddle 24, and an end (frame) of the game screen 20. The wire 26 that connects the two and the block 28 that is a contact object with which the ball 22 is brought into contact are displayed. Here, the wire 26 has elasticity and expands and contracts according to the position of the paddle 24. In addition, a case where the medium connecting the paddle 24 and the end of the game screen 20 is the wire 26 will be described. However, this medium only needs to expand and contract depending on the position of the paddle 24. It may be.

  In the state shown in FIG. 3, the ball 22 is bonded to the paddle 24. When the user does not perform any operation, the wire 26 extends in the horizontal direction, and the paddle 24 is disposed almost at the center of the wire 26. Further, the injection surface of the paddle 24 (the bonding surface to which the ball 22 is bonded) faces upward (the direction in which the block 28 is disposed).

  4 and 5 are explanatory diagrams when the paddle 24 is moved. As shown in FIG. 4, when the user touches the paddle 24 with, for example, a finger and slides the finger in the left-right direction, the paddle 24 also moves in the left-right direction. In the present embodiment, the position where the user touches the paddle 24 (that is, the current contact position) is also referred to as a release instruction position 32. The user can adjust the injection position of the ball 22 by sliding the finger in the left-right direction while touching the paddle 24. Note that when the ball 22 is ejected, the sliding operation is not necessarily performed.

  Further, when the user slides the finger downward while touching the paddle 24 with the finger, the paddle 24 also moves downward. As the paddle 24 moves downward, the wire 26 expands and contracts. In this case, the wire 26 extends according to the current position of the paddle 24. That is, the wire 26 is extended as the paddle 24 is lowered.

  When the user removes his / her finger from the paddle 24 with the wire 26 stretched, the paddle 24 is pulled by the wire 26 due to the force of the wire 26 returning to its original length, and the upward direction (negative direction of the Ys axis). Move to. When the paddle 24 moves to a predetermined position, the ball 22 is separated from the paddle 24. The ball 22 away from the paddle 24 moves upward from the initial position of the wire 26 at the same speed. For example, when the paddle 24 moves to a position where the wire 26 faces in the horizontal direction while the ball 22 is adhered to the paddle 24, the ball 22 is ejected upward away from the paddle 24. The paddle 24 that has moved to a position where the wire 26 faces in the horizontal direction stops at that position.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when the user moves the paddle 24 left and right and then slides left and right again while touching the paddle 24 with a finger, the orientation of the paddle 24 changes. By changing the direction of the paddle 24 in this way, the injection position and the injection direction of the ball 22 change. That is, both the injection position and the injection direction of the ball 22 can be changed with a relatively simple operation.

  For example, when the user slides the paddle 24 to some extent in the left direction from the state where the paddle 24 is moved downward, the injection direction rotates clockwise while the injection position moves to the right. In this case, the clockwise rotation angle increases as the user moves the paddle 24 to the left. On the other hand, when the user slides the paddle to the right to some extent from the state where the paddle 24 is moved downward, the injection direction rotates counterclockwise while the injection position moves to the left. In this case, the counterclockwise rotation angle increases as the user moves the paddle 24 to the right. Thereafter, when the user removes his / her finger from the paddle 24, the ball 22 is ejected from the changed injection position toward the changed injection direction.

  The ejected ball 22 moves in the game screen 20. When the ball 22 comes into contact with the block 28, the block 28 in contact with the ball 22 is erased from the game screen 20. When all the blocks 28 displayed on the game screen 20 are erased, the game is cleared. Therefore, the user aims to erase all the blocks 28. When the ball 22 contacts the block 28 or the end of the game screen 20, the ball 22 rebounds under a predetermined condition.

  When the paddle 24 is brought into contact with the ball 22 that has bounced back at the end of the block 28 or the game screen 20, the ball 22 stops on the ejection surface of the paddle 24. The user moves the paddle 24 and aims to catch the ball 22 that has bounced back. In this case, the user moves the paddle 24 in the left-right direction by touching the paddle 24 and sliding the finger in the left-right direction. If the user can catch the ball 22 with the paddle 24, the ball 22 adheres to the paddle 24. The ball 22 adhered to the paddle 24 can be re-injected by the user performing the same operation as described above.

  On the other hand, when the user cannot receive the ball 22 with the paddle 24 and the ball 22 enters the failure area 30 shown in FIG. 3, the ball 22 disappears. Note that when the balls 22 disappear, the number of balls 22 held by the user decreases. The failure area 30 is an area below the line segment in which the wire 26 is in the horizontal direction in the game screen 20. Even when the ball 22 disappears, the user can again eject the ball 22 from the paddle 24 by using the ball 22 that the user owns. However, if the number of balls 22 held by the user is zero and the ball 22 enters the failure area 30, the game is over.

  As described above, the mobile terminal 10 of the present embodiment changes the injection position of the ball 22 so that the injection direction remains the predetermined direction, or changes both the injection position and the injection direction of the ball 22. It can be configured. Hereinafter, this configuration will be described in detail.

[3. Functions realized in game device]
FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram of the mobile terminal 10. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the mobile terminal 10 executes the game program stored in the storage unit 12 to thereby execute a game data storage unit 50, an instruction acquisition unit 52, a specification unit 54, a reference position acquisition unit 56, and a determination unit. 58 and the movement control unit 60 are realized. For example, the game data storage unit 50 is realized mainly by the storage unit 12, and other functions are realized mainly by the control unit 11.

[3-1. Game data storage unit]
The game data storage unit 50 stores data necessary for executing the game. Here, game situation data indicating the situation of the game being executed will be described. The game situation data includes the current state of the ball 22 (for example, position, moving direction, and speed), the current state of the paddle 24 (for example, position, size, and orientation), and the current state of each block 28. (For example, the position and type of each block 28, information indicating whether each block 28 has been erased, etc.), the current score of the user, and the number of balls 22 held by the user are stored. The game situation data is updated as the game progresses.

  The data stored in the game data storage unit 50 is not limited to the above example. The game data storage unit 50 may store various data necessary for moving the ball 22. For example, the game data storage unit 50 may store data relating to a movement algorithm (for example, a rebound algorithm) of the ball 22 and a user's past game play. In addition, for example, when a plurality of game stages are prepared, the game data storage unit 50 may store data indicating the initial arrangement of the blocks 28 in each stage.

[3-2. Instruction acquisition unit]
The instruction acquisition unit 52 acquires a user instruction. The instruction acquisition unit 52 acquires a user instruction by acquiring a detection signal from a detection unit (for example, the operation unit 14 or the touch panel 15). Here, the instruction acquisition unit 52 acquires the user's instruction by acquiring the contact position on the touch panel 15 touched by the user.

  In the present embodiment, the instruction acquisition unit 52 acquires a direction instruction from the user. For example, the instruction acquisition unit 52 has a first instruction that indicates a display screen (for example, the game screen 20) or a first direction (for example, a horizontal direction) in the virtual space, and a second that is different from the first direction. And a second instruction (for example, a vertical direction) for instructing the direction of.

The first instruction is for indicating a direction (for example, the downward direction) in which the angle formed with the predetermined direction V ₀ (for example, the upward direction) is equal to or greater than the reference angle (for example, 135 degrees). The predetermined direction V ₀ is a basic movement direction associated with the ball 22, and is, for example, a direction from the paddle 24 toward an area where the block 28 is disposed (a direction from the injection source of the ball 22 toward the contact target). is there. In the present embodiment, the predetermined direction V ₀ is the upward direction, the first instruction, a case is an operation for instructing a downward. In other words, here, an operation in which the user slides a finger downward in the game screen 20 while touching the touch panel 15 (downward direction instruction) corresponds to the first instruction.

  In the present embodiment, the second instruction is an operation for instructing the horizontal direction (left-right direction) of the game screen 20. The second instruction can be said to indicate a direction in which an angle formed with the direction indicated by the first instruction is within a predetermined range (for example, 45 degrees or more and less than 135 degrees). In other words, here, an operation in which the user slides the finger in the left-right direction while touching the touch panel 15 (horizontal direction instruction) corresponds to the second instruction.

[3-3. Specific part]
Based on the instruction acquired by the instruction acquisition unit 52 (for example, the detection signal from the touch panel acquired by the instruction acquisition unit 52), the specifying unit 54 moves in the display screen (for example, the game screen 20) or the virtual space. The discharge instruction position 32 (injection instruction position) of the target (for example, the ball 22) is specified. Here, a case where the position where the user touches the paddle 24 (or the position immediately before the user releases the touch on the touch panel 15) corresponds to the release instruction position 32 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the specifying unit 54 performs the first instruction (for example, the downward sliding operation) after the second instruction (for example, the horizontal sliding operation) is performed, and then again after that. When the second instruction is performed, the discharge instruction position 32 is specified based on the second instruction that has been performed again. That is, here, the position determined based on the second horizontal slide operation is the discharge instruction position 32.

  Here, the specifying unit 54 calculates the position between the position in the display screen (for example, the game screen 20) or the virtual space determined based on the first instruction and the position associated with the movement target (for example, the ball 22). The discharge instruction position 32 is specified based on a second instruction (for example, a horizontal sliding operation) performed after a first instruction (for example, a downward sliding operation) when the deviation exceeds a reference. To do.

  The position determined based on the first instruction is a contact position on the touch panel 15 touched by the user, and can be said to be a position where the paddle 24 is pulled down. The position associated with the ball 22 is a basic position of the ball 22 and is a position on a line segment where the wire 26 is horizontal. In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which it is determined whether or not the touch position of the touch panel 15 is included in an area within a predetermined distance from the line segment (hereinafter referred to as a play area).

FIG. 7 is a view showing the play area 36. As shown in FIG. 7, a region from the position where the wire 26 becomes horizontal to a distance d ₁ downward becomes a play region 36. For example, when the user touches the paddle 24 and slides it in the left-right direction, if the user accidentally slides down slightly, the downward sliding operation may be detected as an operation of pulling down the paddle 24. There is sex. For this reason, in the present embodiment, by providing the play area 36, even if the user slightly slides downward, the downward slide is not detected as the operation of lowering the paddle 24. it can. The state where the contact position on the touch panel 15 touched by the user is included in the play area 36 corresponds to a state where the deviation is less than the reference. That is, a state where the contact position on the touch panel 15 touched by the user is not included in the play area 36 corresponds to a state where the deviation is equal to or greater than the reference.

  As described above, the first slide operation in the left-right direction is not necessarily performed. In this case, the specifying unit 54 specifies the release instruction position 32 based on a second instruction (for example, a horizontal sliding operation) performed after the first instruction (for example, a downward sliding operation). . Further, as described above, the horizontal slide operation again after the downward slide operation is not necessarily performed. In this case, the specifying unit 54 specifies the discharge instruction position 32 based on a first instruction (for example, a downward sliding operation).

[3-4. Reference position acquisition unit]
The reference position acquisition unit 56 acquires the reference position 34 set in the display screen (for example, the game screen 20) or the virtual space. In the present embodiment, a case is described in which the reference position 34 is a position determined based on a user instruction, but the reference position 34 may be a predetermined position.

In the present embodiment, the reference position acquisition unit 56 acquires the reference position 34 based on the first instruction (for example, a downward sliding operation) acquired by the instruction acquisition unit 52. For example, the reference position acquisition unit 56, a first instruction (e.g., downward slide operation) display screen which is determined based on (e.g., the game screen 20) positions or virtual space is shifted in the predetermined direction V ₀ position Is obtained as the reference position 34. For example, the reference position 34, the position where the user is fully pull the paddle 24 is a position obtained by moving a predetermined distance in a predetermined direction V _0. The predetermined distance may be a fixed value or a variable value.

In the present embodiment, the reference position acquisition unit 56, when a first instruction (for example, a downward sliding operation) is performed after a second instruction (for example, a horizontal sliding operation) is performed, The reference position 34 is acquired based on the first instruction made and the second instruction made. That is, the user slides in the lateral direction while touching the paddle 24, the contact position after sliding downward (emission indication position 32), is moved in a predetermined direction V ₀ by a predetermined distance position, the reference position 34.

  In the present embodiment, the reference position acquisition unit 56 associates the position in the display screen (for example, the game screen 20) or the virtual space determined based on the first instruction (for example, the downward sliding operation) and the movement target. The reference position 34 is acquired based on the first instruction when the deviation from the determined position is equal to or greater than the reference. That is, the reference position acquisition unit 56 acquires the reference position 34 based on the contact position when the contact position (release instruction position 32) on the touch panel 15 touched by the user goes out of the play area 36.

[3-5. Decision part]
When the release instruction position 32 specified by the specifying unit 54 is within a predetermined area of the display screen (for example, the game screen 20) or the virtual space, the determination unit 58 is based on the release instruction position 32 (injection instruction position). The position (injection position) at which the moving object (for example, the ball 22) is released on the display screen or the virtual space is determined. The injection position is a position where the ball 22 is separated from the paddle 24.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the processing content of the determination unit 58. A predetermined area 38 shown in FIG. 8 is an area determined based on the pulling position 40 of the paddle 24 lowered by the user. The pull-down position 40 is a contact position when the user slides downward while touching the paddle 24. For example, the pull-down position 40 is immediately before the touch is subsequently released or immediately before the subsequent horizontal slide is started. It is a contact position.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the predetermined region 38, the horizontal distance from the lowered position 40 is an area to be within a predetermined distance d _2. The predetermined distance d ₂ may be a fixed value or may be a variable value. The determination unit 58 does not change the direction in which the ball 22 is released from the predetermined direction V ₀ when the release instruction position 32 is within the predetermined region 38. For example, even when the user wants to exit the ball 22 in a predetermined direction V _0, when sliding the paddle 24 in a downward direction, which may result in slightly slid in the lateral direction by mistake. In this case, to be provided a predetermined area 38, will be inclined paddle 24 by the right and left direction slide, it may not be able to exit the ball 22 in a predetermined direction V _0. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the release indication position 32 is within the predetermined region 38, the emission direction of the ball 22 by leaving a predetermined direction V _0, as had slid slightly in the lateral direction However, the injection direction of the ball 22 can be prevented from being changed by the sliding in the left-right direction.

  In addition, when the release instruction position 32 specified by the specifying unit 54 is outside the predetermined region 38, the determination unit 58 and the reference position acquired by the reference position acquisition unit 56 and the reference position acquisition unit 56 34, the position (injection position) where the moving object is released and the direction (injection direction) where the moving object is emitted are determined on the display screen (for example, the game screen 20) or the virtual space.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining a method for determining the injection position and the injection direction of the ball 22 when the discharge instruction position 32 is outside the predetermined area 38. As shown in FIG. 9, here, the determination unit 58 changes the predetermined direction V ₀ based on the release instruction position 32 and the reference position 34, thereby releasing the moving target (hereinafter referred to as the injection direction). V ₁ ).

The determination unit 58 changes (rotates) the predetermined direction V ₀ based on the positional relationship between the discharge instruction position 32 and the reference position 34. For example, the determination unit 58 determines the emission direction V ₁ by increasing the amount of change from the predetermined direction V ₀ as the release instruction position 32 is further away from the reference position 34. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the injection direction V <b> ₁ is determined so as to be a direction from the discharge instruction position 32 toward the reference position 34. Further, determining unit 58, based on the current release indication position 32 and the current injection direction V _1, to determine the injection position. For example, determination unit 58 determines a straight line towards the release indication position 32 in the emission direction V _1, and horizontal wires 26, the intersection of the injection position.

[3-6. Movement control unit]
Movement control unit 60 moves the case where the release indication position 32 identified by the identifying unit 54 is within a predetermined area 38, the mobile object from the location determined by the determining unit 58 in a predetermined direction V ₀ (e.g., ball 22) (For example, injection). On the other hand, when the release instruction position 32 specified by the specifying unit 54 is outside the predetermined area 38, the movement control unit 60 is determined by the determining unit 58 from the position (for example, the injection position) determined by the determining unit 58. The moving object (for example, the ball 22) is moved (for example, injected) in the selected direction (for example, the injection direction V ₁ ).

  In addition, after the ball 22 is ejected from the paddle 24, the movement control unit 60 moves the ball 22 based on a given movement algorithm. For example, the movement control unit 60 moves the ball 22 based on the current moving direction of the ball 22. Note that the movement control unit 60 may change the moving direction of the ball 22. When the rotation direction and the rotation number of the ball 22 are included in the game situation data, the movement control unit 60 changes the movement direction of the ball 22 based on the rotation direction and the rotation number of the ball 22. Also good. When the ball 22 contacts the block 28 or the end of the game screen 20, the movement control unit 60 rebounds the ball 22 based on a given rebound algorithm.

[4. Processing executed in game device]
10 and 11 are flowcharts showing processing executed by the mobile terminal 10. When a game start instruction is issued, the control unit 11 executes the processes shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 according to the program stored in the storage unit 12.

  First, as shown in FIG. 10, the control part 11 starts a game and displays the game screen 20 on the display part 16 (S1). In S <b> 1, the control unit 11 places the block 28 at a predetermined position and adheres the ball 22 onto the paddle 24.

  The control unit 11 determines whether or not the user has touched the paddle 24 based on the detection signal from the touch panel 15 (S2). In S <b> 2, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the contact position on the touch panel 15 by the user is included in an area corresponding to the display position of the paddle 24.

  When it is determined that the user has touched the paddle 24 (S2; Y), the control unit 11 moves the paddle 24 based on the contact position by the user (S3). In S3, the control unit 11 moves the paddle 24 in the direction of change of the contact position by the user. For example, if the change direction of the contact position by the user is horizontal, the control unit 11 moves the paddle 24 in the horizontal direction, and if the change direction of the contact position by the user is downward, the control unit 11 24 is moved downward. Thereafter, until the touch on the paddle 24 is released, the control unit 11 moves the paddle 24 based on the change of the contact position by the user.

The control unit 11 determines whether or not the paddle 24 exceeds the play area 36 (S4). In S4, the control unit 11 determines the current position of the paddle 24 (i.e., the contact position on the touch panel 15 by the user), and horizontal wires 26, whether the distance is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance d ₁ To do.

  When it is determined that the paddle 24 has exceeded the play area 36 (S4; Y), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the change direction of the contact position of the user is the horizontal direction (S5). When it is determined that the change direction of the contact position is not the horizontal direction (S5; N), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the touch on the paddle 24 is released (S6).

When it is determined that the touch on the paddle 24 is released (S6; Y), the control unit 11 determines the injection position of the ball 22 based on the current contact position (that is, the release instruction position 32) (S7). ). In S <b> 7, the control unit 11 determines the position where the straight line in the predetermined direction V ₀ from the contact position (release instruction position 32) immediately before the touch on the paddle 24 is released intersects the horizontal direction of the wire 26. Then, the injection position of the ball 22 is determined.

  The controller 11 causes the ball 22 to be ejected upward from the ejection position determined in S7 (S8), and the process proceeds to S14 described later. In S <b> 8, the control unit 11 moves the paddle 24 upward while the ball 22 is adhered. Then, when the paddle 24 moves to the horizontal position of the wire 26 (that is, the injection position determined in S7), the control unit 11 causes the ball 22 to be injected upward from the paddle 24.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the change direction of the contact position is the horizontal direction (S5; Y), the control unit 11 sets the reference position 34 and the predetermined area 38 on the game screen 20 (S9). In S9, the control unit 11 sets the reference position 34 and the predetermined area 38 on the game screen 20 based on the pull-down position 40 of the paddle 24 (that is, the discharge instruction position 32 immediately before the change direction of the contact position becomes the horizontal direction). Set to.

More specifically, in S <b> 9, the control unit 11 sets, as the reference position 34, a position obtained by shifting the pulling position 40 of the paddle 24 by a predetermined distance in the predetermined direction V <b> ₀ . Furthermore, the control unit 11 sets a predetermined area 38 where the distance in the horizontal direction is a predetermined distance d ₂ from the lowered position 40 of the paddles 24. Information indicating the reference position 34 and the predetermined area 38 is temporarily stored in the storage unit 12.

The control unit 11 determines whether or not the current contact position is within the predetermined area 38 (S10). When it is determined that the current contact position is within the predetermined area 38 (S10; Y), the process returns to S6. In this case, since the processing of S11 to be described later is not performed, the emission direction V ₁ of the ball 22, will not change from the predetermined direction V _0. Thereafter, when the determination result in S6 is affirmative and the user releases the touch of the paddle 24, the process proceeds to S7. If the determination result in S6 is negative and the process in S5 is executed and the determination result is affirmative, the process in S9 is skipped and the process proceeds to S10.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the current contact position is outside the predetermined region 38 (S10; N), the control unit 11 determines the position between the contact position of the user (that is, the discharge instruction position 32) and the reference position 34. based on the relationship, determining the injection position and the emission direction _{V 1} (S11). In S <b> 11, the control unit 11 determines the injection direction V <b> ₁ so that the direction is from the user contact position (release instruction position 32) to the reference position 34. Control unit 11, and a straight line toward the emission direction V ₁ from the contact position of the user (release indication position 32), and horizontal wires 26, the intersect position is determined as an injection position. The control unit 11 based on the injection position and the emission direction V ₁ described above determined, while changing the position and orientation of the paddles 24, these injection position and injection direction, to guide the user in the game screen 20.

The control unit 11 determines whether or not the touch on the paddle 24 is released (S12). When the touch of the paddle 24 is determined to have been canceled (S12; Y), the control unit 11, from the injection position determined in S11, the injection direction _{V 1} determined in S11, it emits a ball 22 (S13) .

  Turning to FIG. 11, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the ball 22 and the block 28 are in contact (S14). In S <b> 14, the control unit 11 determines whether the ball 22 and the block 28 are hit. When it determines with the ball | bowl 22 and the block 28 contacting (S14; Y), the control part 11 erase | eliminates the block 28 contacted with the ball | bowl 22 from the game screen 20 (S15).

  The control unit 11 performs a rebound process of the ball 22 (S16). In S <b> 16, the control unit 11 changes the moving direction of the ball 22 based on the moving direction of the ball 22 immediately before the contact. For example, the control unit 11 determines the moving direction of the ball 22 after the contact by substituting the moving direction of the ball 22 immediately before the contact into a mathematical formula indicated by the rebound algorithm.

  On the other hand, when it is not determined that the ball 22 is in contact with the block 28 (S14; N), the control unit 11 determines whether the ball 22 is in contact with the end of the game screen 20 (S17). In S <b> 17, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the current position of the ball 22 has reached a position corresponding to the end of the game screen 20.

  When it is determined that the ball 22 is in contact with the end of the game screen 20 (S17; Y), the process proceeds to S16, and the control unit 11 executes a rebound process of the ball 22. On the other hand, when it is not determined that the ball 22 is in contact with the end of the game screen 20 (S17; N), the control unit 11 moves the paddle 24 based on the detection signal from the touch panel 15 (S18).

  The control unit 11 determines whether or not the ball 22 and the paddle 24 are in contact (S19). In S <b> 19, the control unit 11 determines whether the ball 22 and the paddle 24 are hit. When it determines with the ball | bowl 22 and the paddle 24 having contacted (S19; Y), the control part 11 adhere | attaches the ball | bowl 22 on the paddle 24 (S20), and returns to the process of S2. In this case, the ball 22 stops, and the user performs the above operation to eject the ball 22 from the paddle 24.

  On the other hand, when it is not determined that the ball 22 and the paddle 24 are in contact (S19; N), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the ball 22 has entered the failure area 30 (S21). When it is not determined that the ball 22 has entered the failure area 30 (S21; N), the control unit 11 moves the ball 22 (S22) and returns to the process of S14.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the ball 22 has entered the failure area (S21; Y), the control unit 11 notifies the game screen 20 that the user has failed (S23). The control unit 11 determines whether or not the number of balls 22 held by the user is 0 (S24).

  When it is determined that the number of balls 22 held by the user is not 0 (S24; N), the control unit 11 decreases the number of balls 22 held by the user (S25), and returns to the process of S2. In this case, the user again injects the ball 22 from the paddle 24 while touching and sliding the paddle 24.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of balls 22 held by the user is 0 (S24; Y), the control unit 11 displays a game over screen on the display unit 16 (S26), and the process ends. In this case, the number of balls 22 held by the user may be increased by performing a given operation (for example, an operation for charging) by the user, and the process may return to S2.

According to the mobile terminal 10 described above, if the release indication position 32 is within the predetermined region 38, the emission direction V ₁ was without change from the predetermined direction V _0, only the injection position is determined, release indication position If 32 is outside the predetermined region 38, it is possible to change both the injection position and the emission direction V _1, the user, the injection position and designation of the injection direction V ₁ of the ball 22 with a relatively simple operation The operation when moving (injecting) the ball 22 can be simplified.

  Further, as described above, the reference position 34 can be acquired and the discharge instruction position 32 can be specified by a relatively simple instruction (instructions that can be performed in a series of flows) such as instructions in the horizontal direction and the downward direction. Therefore, the user's operation can be simplified more effectively.

  Further, since the user can designate the reference position 34 by a relatively simple instruction such as an instruction in the horizontal direction and the downward direction, the user's operation when designating the reference position 34 is simplified, and the reference position 34 is changed. The specification can be made in detail.

  In addition, since the reference position 34 is acquired when the discharge instruction position 32 exceeds the play area 36, the instruction to be performed for acquiring the reference position 34 can have a certain amount of width (play). It is possible to prevent the reference position 34 not intended by the user from being acquired.

Also, when the user slides downward while touching the paddle 24, by a position shifted to lower position 40 of the paddles 24 in a predetermined direction V ₀ and the reference position 34, to obtain the reference position 34 The instruction can be operated more intuitively.

  In addition, since the user designates the reference position 34 by performing an operation of pulling down the paddle 24, the reference position 34 can be easily obtained.

Also, if the release indication position 32 is outside the predetermined region 38, in accordance with the horizontal direction of the slide operation by the user, since the predetermined direction V ₀ is the emission direction V ₁ is determined by varying the ball 22 release It becomes easier for the user to change the direction in which the player leans.

  Further, since the discharge instruction position 32 and the reference position 34 can be designated using the touch panel 15, the touch panel 15 is used rather than the case where the discharge instruction position 32 and the reference position 34 are designated using a general controller or the like. If so, the user can specify the discharge instruction position 32 and the reference position 34 by a more intuitive operation.

[5. Modified example]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. Modifications can be made as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  (1) For example, the trajectory of the ball 22 and the rotation of the ball after the ball 22 is ejected from the paddle 24 based on the positional relationship between the release instruction position 32 instructed by the user and the current position of the ball 22 It may be changed.

  The movement control unit 60 of the modified example (1) includes the release instruction position 32 specified by the specifying unit 54 and the current position of the movement target (for example, the ball 22) in the display screen (for example, the game screen 20) or the virtual space. Based on the deviation (distance), at least one of the trajectory of the moving object and the rotation of the moving object is controlled.

  For example, the movement control unit 60 increases the change in the movement direction of the ball 22 (that is, the bending of the ball 22 increases) as the deviation between the release instruction position 32 and the current position of the ball 22 increases. 22 trajectories are controlled. Further, for example, the movement control unit 60 controls the rotation of the ball 22 such that the larger the deviation between the release instruction position 32 and the current position of the ball 22, the greater the rotation speed of the ball 22. Note that the greater the number of rotations of the ball 22, the greater the change in the movement direction of the ball 22.

  According to the modification (1), since the trajectory and rotation of the ball 22 can be changed by a relatively simple operation, the user's operation when controlling the trajectory and rotation of the ball 22 can be simplified. it can.

  (2) Further, for example, the moving speed of the ball 22 may be changed according to the contact position (that is, the release instruction position 32) immediately before the user releases the touch of the paddle 24.

  The movement control unit 60 of the modification (2) controls the speed of the movement target (for example, the ball 22) based on the release instruction position 32 specified by the specifying unit 54. For example, the movement control unit 60 increases the distance between the discharge instruction position 32 immediately before the touch is released and the horizontal line segment of the wire 26 (that is, the downward sliding distance by the user) as the ball 22 increases. Increase the speed of

  According to the modified example (2), the speed of the ball 22 is changed by a relatively simple operation, so that the user's operation when controlling the speed of the ball 22 can be simplified.

  (3) For example, the game executed in the mobile terminal 10 is not limited to the above example. For example, the following functions may be realized.

  (3-1) For example, a time limit until the user ejects the ball 22 from the paddle 24 may be provided. In this case, information indicating the time limit is stored in the game situation data. For example, the timing may be started when the ball 22 adheres to the paddle 24, and the remaining number of balls 22 may be reduced if the ball 22 is not injected within a given time limit.

  In this case, the control unit 11 may guide the remaining time limit on the game screen 20. For example, the control unit 11 displays a given guide image (for example, an image representing a bomb) on the wire 26 and moves the guide image based on the remaining time limit. Specifically, the control unit 11 may bring the guide image closer to the end of the paddle 24 so that the distance between the guide image and the end of the paddle 24 corresponds to the remaining time limit. In this case, the control unit 11 may display each of the two guide images on both sides of the paddle 24 so as to be close to both ends of the paddle 24. In this way, the time limit can be guided more visually.

  (3-2) Further, for example, in the embodiment, the case where one ball 22 is injected has been described, but a plurality of balls 22 may be provided. In this case, a plurality of balls 22 may be bonded to the paddle 24. The user can simultaneously specify the injection positions and the injection directions of the plurality of balls 22 by performing the operation described above.

  (3-3) For example, information indicating the momentum (strength) of the ball 22 may be stored in the game situation data. The control unit 11 acquires information indicating the momentum of the ball 22 based on the release instruction position 32. For example, the control unit 11 determines information indicating the momentum of the ball 22 based on the pulling position 40 of the paddle 24. Information indicating the velocity of the ball 22 may be used as information indicating the momentum of the ball.

  When the ball 22 and the block 28 come into contact with each other, the control unit 11 moves the ball 22 so as to penetrate the block 28 without repelling the ball 22. Further, the control unit 11 may change the number of blocks 28 that can penetrate based on the momentum of the ball 22.

  In this case, when the user pulls down the paddle 24 downward, the control unit 11 changes the display mode of the block 28 that can be penetrated by the momentum of the ball 22 determined by the current release instruction position 32, thereby causing the ball 22. This momentum may be guided to the user. Changing the display mode of the block 28 means changing the display of the block 28 from the normal case. For example, changing the transparency of the block 28, changing the color, and giving a given effect to the block 28 (for example, , Flashing, stretching, etc.). In this way, the user can visually grasp the block 28 that can be penetrated by the current momentum of the ball 22.

  (3-4) Further, for example, at least one of the trajectory and rotation of the ball may be changed according to the trajectory of the contact position when the user pulls down the paddle 24. In this case, it is assumed that data indicating the association between the trajectory of the contact position and at least one of the trajectory and rotation of the ball is stored in the game data storage unit 50. The control unit 11 identifies a trajectory based on the change in the contact position, and controls the movement of the ball 22 based on at least one of the trajectory and rotation associated with the identified trajectory. For example, when the user pulls down the paddle 24 while rotating the contact position, the control unit 11 controls the movement of the ball 22 so that the ball 22 bends or rotates in a direction corresponding to the rotation direction. To do.

  (3-5) Further, for example, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the injection of the ball 22 succeeds according to a difference (time interval) between the timing at which the user releases the touch of the paddle 24 and the reference timing repeatedly visited. It may be determined. When the injection is successful, the ball 22 is injected as determined by the determination unit 58, and when the injection fails, the ball 22 is not injected as determined by the determination unit 58. The ball 22 is ejected based on the position and the ejection direction. For example, if the deviation is less than the reference, the result is success, and if the deviation is greater than the reference, the result is failure.

  In this case, the control unit 11 may guide the reference timing on the game screen 20. For example, the control unit 11 displays a given guide image on the wire 26 and moves the guide image based on the time until the reference timing arrives. Specifically, the control unit 11 brings the guide image closer to the end of the paddle 24 so that the distance between the guide image and the end of the paddle 24 corresponds to the time until the reference timing arrives. Also good. By doing so, the user can visually grasp the reference timing.

(3-6) Further, for example, a plurality of types of balls 22 are prepared, and the manner of movement when ejected from the paddle 24 may be different depending on the type of the ball 22 used by the user. For example, the control unit 11, a specific type of ball 22 with respect to the target position a predetermined distance away from the release indication position 32 in the emission direction V _1, may be made to jump from the injection position. Furthermore, when items and enemy characters are arranged on the game screen 20, there may be a type of ball 22 for obtaining these items and a type of ball 22 for defeating enemy characters. In this case, the control unit 11 may change the type of the ball 22 according to the progress of the game.

  (4) Further, for example, in the above description, the case where the discharge instruction position 32 is specified by the user's instruction has been described, but the discharge instruction position 32 is specified based on the position of the paddle 24 moved by the user's instruction. You may do it. That is, the specifying unit 54 may specify the discharge instruction position 32 based on the current position of the paddle 24 moved by the user's instruction.

  Further, for example, when the user releases the paddle 24, the case where the paddle 24 returns to the position where the wire 26 faces in the horizontal direction has been described, but the paddle 24 may move upward from the position where the wire 26 faces in the horizontal direction. Good. In this case, after the ball 22 is ejected from the paddle 24, the paddle 24 may be returned to the position facing the horizontal direction while vibrating up and down with reference to the position of the wire 26 facing the horizontal direction.

  For example, when the ball 22 and the paddle 24 are in contact with each other, the case where the ball 22 is bonded to the paddle 24 has been described. However, the ball 22 may be rebounded without being bonded to the paddle 24. That is, when the ball 22 contacts the return paddle 24 toward the paddle 24, the movement control unit 60 may cause the ball 22 to rebound in a direction determined based on the moving direction of the ball 22 immediately before the contact. Good.

For example, in the above description, the case where the ball 22 moves within the game screen 20 has been described. However, the ball 22 may be moved within the game space. The game space may be two-dimensional or three-dimensional. In this case, the game screen 20 displays a state in which the game space where the ball 22 is arranged is viewed from a given viewpoint set in the game space. Furthermore, the release instruction position 32 and the reference position 34 are positions in the game space. Similarly, the injection position and the emission direction V ₁ was, the position and direction of the game space. The method of injecting and moving the ball 22 in the game space is the same as the method described in the embodiment.

  Further, for example, in the above description, the case where the touch panel 15 is used as a means for the user to point to the position on the game screen 20 has been described. However, various known pointing devices can be applied as the means. For example, the position on the game screen 20 may be indicated by a controller incorporating an infrared sensor. Further, the user giving an instruction is not limited to the pointing device. In addition, for example, a controller for the user to give direction instructions may be used.

  Further, for example, the movement control according to the present invention can be applied to a game device that executes a game other than the above-described game. For example, it can be applied to a shooting game, a sports game, a role playing game, an action game, and the like. Furthermore, the movement control according to the present invention can be applied in addition to a movement control device that executes a game. The movement control according to the present invention may be applied to a movement control device that moves a movement target in a display screen or a virtual space. For example, the present invention can be applied to an apparatus that simulates the movement of a moving object in the real world. Further, the movement target is not limited to the ball, and may be any object that moves in the display screen or the virtual space.
