Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[First embodiment]
[Outline of game device]
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The game device 10 according to the present embodiment is a terminal device that executes a video game. The game apparatus 10 includes a display device that displays a game screen and an input device that receives a user operation related to the game. Here, as an example, a case where the game apparatus 10 is a so-called smartphone and includes a touch panel 11 that displays a game screen will be described.

  The touch panel 11 according to the present embodiment is an apparatus in which a display device having a planar rectangular display area and a touch sensor that detects a touch operation on the display device are integrally configured. Below, the case where the contact (touch) to the touch panel 11 with a finger, a stylus pen, etc. is detected as an operation by a user is demonstrated as an example. Hereinafter, touching a position corresponding to an object displayed on the touch panel 11 may be referred to as touching the object for convenience. Hereinafter, a case where the user is a user of the game apparatus 10 and a player who plays a game executed by the game apparatus 10 will be described.

Next, a game executed by the game apparatus 10 will be described.
In the present embodiment, the game apparatus 10 provides two game modes, a play mode and a preview mode.
The play mode is a mode for playing a so-called timing game. In the timing game according to the present embodiment, an operation timing is instructed in accordance with the progress of music. In the play mode, the game apparatus 10 instructs the operation timing by changing the game screen in accordance with the music playback time. Here, the reproduction time is a time in the music based on the start time of the music. In the play mode, the playback time advances with the passage of time from the start of the timing game. When the user performs an operation according to an instruction on the game screen, the game apparatus 10 evaluates the skill of the operation performed by the user. The game apparatus 10 gives a reward such as a score or an item according to the operation evaluation result. Note that the timing game may proceed in accordance with the moving image instead of the music.

  Here, the game apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment can display a plurality of different game screens for one piece of music. That is, the game apparatus 10 can present a plurality of patterns of operation timing and operation type for one piece of music. Hereinafter, the pattern of these operation timings and operation types is referred to as an operation score. A game screen displayed in the play mode is referred to as a play screen. In the play of the timing game, the user specifies the music to be played and also specifies the operation musical score to be played. Then, the game apparatus 10 reproduces the music to be played and displays the operation musical score to be played on the play screen.

  The preview mode is a mode different from the play mode, and is a mode for displaying an operation score designated by the user. In the preview mode, the game apparatus 10 displays the operation score, but does not accept the operation of the pattern represented by the operation score. That is, in the preview mode, the game apparatus 10 does not execute the timing game. In the preview mode, the user can confirm an operation score corresponding to the designated reproduction time by designating an arbitrary reproduction time in the song. That is, the operation score displayed when the playback time is reached in the play mode is displayed. Hereinafter, the game screen displayed in the preview mode may be referred to as a preview screen.

Next, an example of the preview screen will be described.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a preview screen according to the present embodiment.
The XY axes shown in FIG. 1 are axes parallel to the display area (plane) of the touch panel 11 with the upper left point of the display area of the touch panel 11 as the origin. The X axis is an axis parallel to the horizontal direction in the display area of the touch panel 11, and the direction of the arrow shown in the figure is a positive direction. The Y axis is an axis parallel to the vertical direction in the display area of the touch panel 11, and the direction of the arrow shown in the figure is the positive direction. Hereinafter, the positive direction side of the Y axis in the game screen may be referred to as the lower side of the game screen, and the negative direction side of the Y axis may be referred to as the upper side of the game screen. Further, the positive direction side of the X axis in the game screen may be referred to as the right side of the game screen, and the negative direction side of the X axis may be referred to as the left side of the game screen.

The preview screen shown in FIG. 1 is provided with a preview area PV1, a scroll bar SB, and an information presentation area IA.
In the preview area PV1, a play screen of the music to be previewed selected by the user is displayed.

  The scroll bar SB is a bar that represents the reproduction time of the operation score displayed on the preview area PV1 and accepts an operation for designating the reproduction time. The scroll bar SB has an indicator IN that can move on the scroll bar SB. The indicator IN represents the relative position of the reproduction time in the entire time range of the music by the position on the scroll bar SB. Specifically, the upper end of the scroll bar SB corresponds to the beginning time of the music, and the lower end of the scroll bar SB corresponds to the final time of the music. The user can specify the playback time by moving the indicator IN on the scroll bar SB.

Note that the method for specifying the playback time is not limited to the operation using other than the scroll bar SB. For example, the game apparatus 10 may change the playback time according to a slide operation on the preview screen GR. In this case, for example, the game apparatus 10 moves the reproduction time in the past direction according to the slide operation in the negative direction of the Y axis, and moves the reproduction time in the future direction according to the slide operation in the positive direction of the Y axis. May be. Further, the game apparatus 10 may advance the designated reproduction time as time elapses. In the present embodiment, the reproduction time is an example of a second timing. The second timing is a timing designated by the user.
The scroll bar SB has the Y-axis direction as the longitudinal direction, but is not limited thereto. For example, the scroll bar SB may have the X-axis direction as the longitudinal direction. However, a more intuitive operation can be performed by matching the moving direction of the moving object described later and the longitudinal direction of the scroll bar SB.

  The information presentation area IA is an area that provides various types of information. In the information presentation area IA, for example, the preview mode, identification information of the music to be previewed, identification information of the operation score, and the like are presented. In the information presentation area IA, for example, an operation button for switching an operation score to be previewed is arranged.

  Further, the possessed coin FU and the necessary coin PA are displayed on the preview screen GR shown in FIG. The game apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment consumes a predetermined amount of coins for each piece of music to be played and an operation score among the coins held by the user, and executes the timing game. The possessed coin FU represents the amount of coins possessed by the user. The necessary coin PA represents the amount of coins consumed when playing the operation musical score to be previewed. The user confirms the operation musical score displayed in the preview area PV1 and the necessary coin PA. When playing, for example, the play button PB arranged on the preview screen GR is pressed. In response to pressing of the play button PB, the game apparatus 10 subtracts the necessary coin PA from the possessed coin FU and executes the timing game in the play mode using the designated operation score.

  The coin is consumed as a price for the function provided by the game apparatus 10. The coin may be real such as money, or may be virtual such as electronic money. Further, the coins may be added by a charging operation by the user, or may be added when a predetermined condition is satisfied in timing game play or the like. Further, the game apparatus 10 may consume coins by previewing the operation score. In this case, for example, the amount of coins required for previewing the operation score is set to be smaller than the amount of coins required for playing the operation score. Thereby, the user can confirm the operation score without paying the price or paying a smaller price than when actually playing. Therefore, the game apparatus 10 can give the user a motivation to play the game.

Next, display of the operation score and play of the timing game will be described.
In the example shown in FIG. 1, six lanes LN and a plurality of moving objects OB1 and OB2 that move on the lanes LN are displayed in the preview area PV1.

Here, various objects displayed by the game apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.
The moving object is an object that instructs the user on the operation timing and the operation type. Hereinafter, the operation timing instructed by the moving object may be referred to as instruction timing. The moving object moves with respect to a predetermined reference position as the reproduction time progresses. Then, the timing to reach the reference position is instructed as the operation timing. The reference position is a point, a line, a region, or the like. In the present embodiment, as an example, the case where the lower end LT of the operation score is the reference position will be described.
Note that a reference index indicating a reference position may be separately arranged on the operation screen. In this case, one reference index may represent one reference position or a plurality of reference positions. The display of the reference index may be changed by movement or the like.

  In the present embodiment, the moving object indicates an operation type by its shape and pattern. In other words, moving objects having different shapes and designs instruct input of operations having different types. For example, the moving object OB1 illustrated in FIG. 1 instructs a short-time touch operation, and the moving object OB2 having a shape different from the moving object OB1 instructs a long-time touch operation.

A lane is an object that guides the moving path of a moving object. In the present embodiment, as an example, a case where the lane is a linear object orthogonal to the lower end LT of the operation score will be described.
The lane may not be displayed on the game screen. The lane may have an arbitrary shape such as a curve, and the moving object may move on the curve. The number of lanes may be any number.

  In the play mode, the moving object appears from the upper end of the operation score at a predetermined timing, and reaches the lower end LT of the operation score at a timing that matches the rhythm of the music. The user inputs an operation of touching the moving object in anticipation of the timing at which the center of the moving object overlaps the lower end LT of the operation score. When the game apparatus 10 detects a touch operation, the game apparatus 10 evaluates the operation based on a time difference between a detection timing at which the operation is detected and an instruction timing of the moving object.

Next, a method for displaying the operation score will be described.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of processing in displaying an operation score according to the present embodiment.
In the present embodiment, the operation musical score is generated based on sequence data in which instruction timing is described. In this sequence data, the moving object is associated with the time in the music. The time in the music is an example of the first timing included in the first period. The first period is a period during which a play operation is received in the game. In the present embodiment, since the timing game progresses according to the music, the first period is a period from the start to the end of the music.

  In the example shown in FIG. 2, the start time TS is the start time of the music. The final time TE is the final time of the music. Each moving object is associated with one of the times from the start time TS to the final time TE by the sequence data and the lane LN. For example, the moving object OB1-1 is associated with the timing t1. The two moving objects OB1-2 and OB1-3 are associated with the timing t2. That is, the moving object OB1-1 is a moving object that reaches the lower end of the operation musical score at the timing t1, and uses the timing t1 as an instruction timing. The moving objects OB1-2 and OB1-3 are moving objects that reach the lower end of the operation score at the timing t2, and the timing t2 is designated as the instruction timing.

  Next, the case where the reproduction time P1 specified by the user corresponds to the lower end LT of the operation score will be described using the example shown in FIG. In this case, a moving object whose instruction timing is the reproduction time P1 is displayed at the lower end LT of the operation score. An appearance time P2 after a predetermined period (for example, two bars) from the reproduction time P1 corresponds to the upper end UT of the operation score. That is, the moving object having the appearance time P2 as the instruction timing is displayed on the upper end UT of the operation score. Then, a moving object whose instruction timing is a time within the display range DP from the reproduction time P1 to the appearance time P2 is displayed as an operation score. At this time, the moving objects are arranged according to the time difference between the instruction timing and the reproduction time P1. Specifically, among the moving objects shown in FIG. 2, the arrangement of the moving objects included in the time range of the display range DP is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. That is, the display range DP is an example of the second period. The second period is a period determined by the second timing (for example, reproduction time), and is a period for determining the time range of the moving object displayed on the display unit 120. Thereby, the game apparatus 10 can obtain an operation score like the preview area PV1 shown in FIG.

As described above, the game apparatus 10 accepts an operation for designating the reproduction time in a period from the start time TS to the final time TE of the music including each instruction timing associated with each of the plurality of moving objects. Then, the game apparatus 10 displays the moving objects associated with the timing of the predetermined display range DP from the received reproduction time in an arrangement according to the timing associated with the moving object.
Thereby, since the game apparatus 10 displays the game screen according to the reproduction time, the game screen at the time point desired by the user can be easily confirmed.

  In the display of the operation score, the game apparatus 10 generates an operation score in a time range wider than the display range DP. Specifically, the game apparatus 10 generates an operation score in the generation range DG between the generation start time G1 a predetermined time before the reproduction time P1 and the generation end time G2 a predetermined time after the appearance time P2. This generation range DG may be, for example, the entire region from the start time TS to the final time TE. Thereby, even if the playback time specified by the user changes, the game apparatus 10 can display the operation score by shifting the display area of the already generated image, so that the operation device is delayed from the operation. The operation score can be displayed. Further, the game apparatus 10 may display an operation score in a time range wider than the operation score displayed on the play screen on the preview screen. Further, the game apparatus 10 may change the generation range DG according to the operation. For example, when the user operates the scroll bar SB at a high speed, the operation score can be displayed without delay by narrowing the generation range DG. Further, the generation range may be specified by predicting the reproduction time finally designated at the end of the operation. In addition, the game apparatus 10 may generate an operation score with only the display range DP.

  Further, in the preview mode, the game apparatus 10 may advance the reproduction time P1 designated by the user as time elapses. As a result, the display range DP shifts with time, and different areas of the operation score are displayed. Therefore, the change in the operation score when the timing game is executed can be reproduced in the preview mode. Further, the game apparatus 10 may be capable of adjusting the changing speed of the reproduction time. Thereby, the game device 10 can adjust the changing speed of the operation musical score. Specifically, since the operation score can be changed more slowly than when the timing game is played, it is possible to easily check the progress of the music and the change of the operation score. In addition, since it is possible to skip portions that do not require confirmation, time can be saved. Also, when the playback time is designated only by manual operation, the playback time can be stopped, advanced, and rewound arbitrarily by the user, so that the operation score can be sufficiently confirmed. In this way, it is possible to save time when viewing early, and to fully check the operation score with fewer times than conventional when viewing carefully.

[Configuration of game device]
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the game apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment.
The game apparatus 10 includes a touch panel 11 including an input unit 110 and a display unit 120, an audio output unit 130, a storage unit 140, and a control unit 150.

  The input unit 110 is an input device that generates an input signal in accordance with a user operation. For example, a pointing device such as a mouse, a keyboard, a button, a touch pad, a touch panel, or the like can be applied to the input unit 110. The shape of the input device may be arbitrary, and may be a shape imitating a part or the whole of a musical instrument such as a stringed instrument, a percussion instrument, or a wind instrument, for example. As described above, in the present embodiment, as an example, the input unit 110 and the display unit 120 are integrally configured on the touch panel 11. The touch detection method using the touch panel 11 may be any of a resistance film method, a surface acoustic wave method, an infrared method, an electromagnetic induction method, a capacitance method, and the like. When the touch panel 11 detects a touch, the touch panel 11 notifies the control unit 150 of the timing at which the touch is detected and the coordinates of the touch position.

  When a keyboard is used as the input unit 110, a predetermined key on the keyboard is assigned to a predetermined operation input, and the input is accepted when it is detected that the key has been operated. In addition, when a button is used for the input unit 110, one or more buttons corresponding to operations necessary for the game are provided, and an input is received by detecting the pressing of the button. When a pointing device is used for the input unit 110, an input is accepted by appropriately moving a cursor displayed on the display unit 120 and performing a click operation or the like with the pointing device. The input unit 110 may include various sensors such as a pressure sensor, and may detect the strength of the operation input based on the pressure detected in the operation input.

  The input unit 110 may accept various operations. The operation can be distinguished by, for example, the number of operation reception areas, the position of the operation reception area, the operation method, and the like. In this embodiment, these distinctions are called operation types. The operation reception area is an area where the input unit 110 receives an operation by the user. Specifically, the operation reception area is an area of the touch panel 11 that receives an operation on the game screen, an operation button, or the like.

  The operation method is an operation type that can be distinguished in the same operation reception area. In the case of an operation on the touch panel 11, there are operation methods such as a touch operation for detecting a touch and a slide operation for detecting a change in a touch position. The slide operation can be further distinguished from the operation method according to the speed of change of the touch position. The slide operation can be further distinguished from the operation method according to the change in the touch position by a plurality of fingers. The operation method using two fingers includes, for example, a pinch-out operation in which the touch positions of the two fingers move away from each other, and a pinch-in operation in which the touch positions of the two fingers move closer to each other Etc. Further, the operation method can be further distinguished by the number of operations, the operation interval, the operation duration, the strength of operation input, and the like.

The display unit 120 is a display device that displays information such as images and characters. For example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or the like can be applied to the display unit 120.
The audio output unit 130 is a speaker that outputs music, audio, sound effects, and the like.
The storage unit 140 is configured by using one or more of recording media such as a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), and a hard disk drive (HDD), and controls each unit included in the game apparatus 10. The various programs and various information are stored. Specifically, for example, the storage unit 140 stores a game program of a timing game executed by the game apparatus 10. The storage unit 140 includes a music data storage unit 141 and a sequence data storage unit 142.
The music data storage unit 141 stores audio data of music that is a target of the timing game.
The sequence data storage unit 142 stores sequence data.

Here, an example of the data configuration of the sequence data according to the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of sequence data according to the present embodiment.
In the example shown in FIG. 4, the sequence data SD10 includes condition definition information SD11 and operation sequence information SD12. In the condition definition information SD11, information specifying various conditions for executing a game such as a song ID for identifying a song, a music tempo, a beat, a track, and a song length is described.

  The operation sequence information SD12 is information that associates the instruction timing of the moving object with the type of the moving object. The operation sequence information SD12 is configured as a set of a plurality of records in which arrival timing information (arrival timing), lane information (lane), and object type information (object type) are associated with each other. In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, each piece of information is described in the order of arrival timing information, lane information, and object type information from the left.

  The arrival timing information is information indicating the instruction timing of the moving object, that is, the timing at which the moving object reaches the lower end of the operation score. The arrival timing information is represented, for example, by the time in the music. Specifically, for example, the arrival timing information is described by dividing a bar number in the music, the number of beats in each bar, and a value indicating the time in each bar by a comma. The time during a beat is the elapsed time from the beginning of one beat, and the length of one beat is equally divided into n (positive integers) and expressed by the number of units from the beginning. For example, when the arrival timing information is described as “01, 4, 012” and the length of one beat is equally divided into 96 pieces (n = 96), the beginning of the beat at the fourth beat of the first measure of the music The time when 1/8 (012/096) has elapsed from the designated time is designated as the operation timing. The arrival timing information may be described in other units such as seconds in addition to the beat.

The lane information is information for identifying the lane in which the moving object moves. In other words, the lane information is information for identifying the moving path of the moving object. The moving path for each lane is calculated by, for example, a predetermined function that passes through the reference position where the moving object reaches.
The object type information is information for identifying the type of moving object according to the operation type, the reward given as a result of the operation, and the like.

Each record of the operation sequence information SD12 configured by associating these pieces of information with each other moves the moving object of the type indicated by the object type information on the lane indicated by the lane information, and the operation score at the timing indicated by the arrival timing information. Represents reaching the lower end of.
The above is the description of the sequence data SD10 according to the present embodiment.

  The control unit 150 includes an information processing device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that functions as a control center of the game apparatus 10 and controls each unit included in the game apparatus 10. The control unit 150 includes a game control unit 151. The game control unit 151 is realized, for example, when the CPU of the game apparatus 10 executes a game program stored in advance in the storage unit 140. The game control unit 151 reads the sequence data SD10 corresponding to the operation musical score selected by the user onto the memory, and advances the game based on the sequence data SD10. The game control unit 151 includes an operation receiving unit 152, an evaluation unit 153, and an output control unit 154.

The operation reception unit 152 receives an operation performed on the input unit 110. Specifically, the operation reception unit 152 receives an operation in the preview mode and an operation in the play mode.
For example, the operation reception unit 152 receives an operation for designating a reproduction time in the preview mode. The operation reception unit 152 notifies the output control unit 154 of the designated reproduction time.

  In addition, the operation reception unit 152 executes, for example, processing for specifying an operation target of the touch operation performed in the play mode. Here, the operation target specifying process by the operation receiving unit 152 will be described. First, the operation reception unit 152 determines whether or not the touch position detected by the input unit 110 is within the touch effective area of the moving object. The touch effective area of the moving object is an area determined for each moving object, for example, an area within a predetermined distance from the center coordinates of the moving object. In this case, the touch effective area moves as the moving object moves. When the touch position is within the touch effective area of the moving object, the operation reception unit 152 determines that the moving object having the touch effective area is an operation target. At this time, if the moving object is not in a predetermined area (for example, in the vicinity of the lower end of the operation score representing the operation timing of the moving object), the operation receiving unit 152 does not have to process the operation. By doing so, even if a moving object located at a position away from the lower end of the operation musical score is touched, the operation is not evaluated as a failure, so that the operability is improved. The operation reception unit 152 notifies the evaluation unit 153 of the instruction timing of the operation target moving object and the detection timing when the input unit 110 detects the touch operation.

The evaluation unit 153 performs an evaluation process for evaluating the skill of the operation during the execution of the play mode.
In the evaluation process, the evaluation unit 153 compares the detection timing notified from the operation reception unit 152 with the instruction timing, and evaluates the skill of the operation based on the magnitude of the time difference. Here, the evaluation unit 153 may perform the evaluation in a plurality of stages according to the magnitude of the time difference. For example, the determination result when the time difference is 0.0 seconds or more and less than 0.2 seconds is “Perfect”, and the determination result when the difference is 0.2 seconds or more and less than 0.4 seconds is “Great”. The determination result when the difference is 0.4 seconds or more and less than 0.8 seconds is “Good”, and the determination result when the difference is 0.8 seconds or more is evaluated as failure.

The output control unit 154 controls audio output by the audio output unit 130 and image output by the display unit 120.
For example, when an operation for designating an operation musical score to be previewed or played is performed in the preview mode or the play mode, the output control unit 154 stores the sequence data SD10 corresponding to the designated operation musical score as the sequence data storage unit 142. Read from. The output control unit 154 generates image data of a preview screen or a play screen on which an operation score including moving objects, lanes, and the like is arranged based on the sequence data SD10. The operation musical score image data is generated based on the sequence data SD10 record in a time range slightly wider than the time range displayed on the display unit 120. Then, the output control unit 154 outputs the generated image data to the display unit 120 to display a game screen. Further, the output control unit 154 reads out the audio data of the music corresponding to the operation musical score from the music data storage unit 141. Then, based on the read audio data of the music, the audio corresponding to the reproduction time is output to the audio output unit 130 and reproduced.

Here, the display control of the operation score will be described.
First, the output control unit 154 acquires the reproduction time. In the case of the play mode, the reproduction time is acquired as the time elapsed from the start of play. In the preview mode, the playback time is designated by a user operation.
Next, the output control unit 154 specifies a moving object included in the image data of the operation score to be generated. Specifically, the record of the operation sequence information SD12 in which the value of the arrival timing information is included in a predetermined time range (for example, the time range DG in FIG. 2) in the direction of the final time of the music from a predetermined time before the reproduction time. To extract. In the play mode, since the playback time does not move in the direction of the beginning time of the music, the playback time may be adopted instead of the predetermined time before the playback time.

  Next, the output control unit 154 generates image data in which the moving objects represented by the object type information of each record are arranged on the corresponding lanes. At this time, the moving object is arranged at a position corresponding to the instruction timing represented by the arrival timing information. Specifically, the closer the instruction timing is to the music playback time, the lower the operation score (that is, the Y axis positive direction shown in FIG. 1). Further, the closer the instruction timing is to the final time of the music, the higher the operation score (that is, the negative direction of the Y axis shown in FIG. 1).

  Next, the output control unit 154 specifies a range to be displayed on the display unit 120 among the generated operation musical score. Specifically, the output control unit 154 calculates the appearance time advanced by a predetermined time (for example, two bars) in the final time direction of the music from the reproduction time. Then, the output control unit 154 causes the display unit 120 to display the operation score so that the appearance time is the upper end of the operation score display and the reproduction time is the lower end of the operation score display. Thereby, for example, in the case of the play mode, it is possible to display the moving object so as to move on the lane with the progress of the reproduction time and reach the lower end of the operation musical score at the instruction timing.

  In the above-described example, the case has been described in which it is determined in advance that the moving object is positioned at the lower end of the operation score at the reproduction time. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the moving object may be set to have a predetermined display angle, a predetermined shape, or a predetermined display size at the reproduction time. In this case, the output control unit 154 changes the display angle, shape, and display size of each moving object according to the time difference between the instruction timing and the reproduction time. Specifically, the output control unit 154 approaches a predetermined display angle, a predetermined shape, and a predetermined display size as the time difference between the reproduction time and the instruction timing is smaller. In addition, a moving object whose instruction timing matches the instruction timing is displayed with a predetermined display angle, a predetermined shape, and a predetermined display size.

  In addition to the moving object, the output control unit 154 generates the operation score by calculating the display position, display angle, shape, display size, and the like of the object displayed on the operation score. For example, when displaying the reference index on the operation score, the display position, display angle, shape, display size, etc. of the reference index are calculated based on the timing associated with the reference index. The reference index is an object that represents a reference position where the moving object reaches, for example.

Further, as described above, the timing game may progress in accordance with the progress of the moving image in addition to the progress of the music. In this case, the reproduction time is a time in the moving image with reference to the start time of the moving image. The moving image is displayed, for example, as a background of the operation score or arranged side by side on the operation score. At this time, the output control unit 154 displays, for example, a moving image frame corresponding to any time on the operation score. Specifically, for example, a frame of a moving image at a time corresponding to the center of the operation score is displayed. In this way, by displaying the moving image corresponding to the operation musical score, it is possible to easily show which point in the moving image the operational musical score corresponds to even when the preview mode is executed. For example, even when the reproduction time is returned to the past direction by the user's operation, it is possible to intuitively grasp the point in time corresponding to the operation score being previewed by displaying the moving image.
The above is the description about the control of the display of the operation score.

[Modification]
The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and includes a design and the like within a scope not departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, the configurations described in the first and second embodiments described above can be arbitrarily combined.

  For example, the game devices 10 and 10A of each embodiment described above can be implemented as a computer device operated by the user, can be implemented as a server device that communicates with a terminal operated by the user, It is also possible to implement as a game system that is a combination of a terminal that performs and a server device that communicates with the terminal. Further, the game apparatus 10 of the first embodiment described above is a stationary game apparatus called a consumer game machine or a home game machine, a game apparatus that is a portable information terminal called a portable game machine, It can also be implemented as a game device called an arcade game machine or an arcade game machine, a PC for executing a game, a tablet PC, or the like. Further, for example, the game system 1A and the game devices 10 and 10A in the above-described embodiments can be implemented as a game method, and are implemented as a game program that causes the computers of the game system 1A and the game devices 10 and 10A to operate. can do. This game program may be incorporated in advance in the game system 1A and the game apparatuses 10 and 10A. For example, the game program is distributed together with the installer and is subsequently installed in the game system 1A and the game apparatuses 10 and 10A. It may be a thing.

  Moreover, in each embodiment mentioned above, the processing method demonstrated using FIGS. 5-8 is an example, and is not restricted to this. For example, the processing method described above may be realized using interrupt processing or the like.

  Moreover, in each embodiment mentioned above, the game devices 10 and 10A may provide a restriction on the preview of the operation score. For example, the game apparatuses 10 and 10A may be able to preview an operation score only for a predetermined time or only for a predetermined number of songs according to the amount of coins consumed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the game machine from being occupied for a long time by the preview in an arcade game machine or the like.

  In each embodiment described above, the preview of the operation score and the play of the operation score may be provided by different devices. For example, a timing game using an operation score is provided on an arcade game machine, and the operation score may be referred to from a terminal device owned by the user by accessing a website or the like. Thereby, it is possible to make the user confirm the operation score while preventing the game machine from being occupied by the preview in an arcade game machine or the like.

  Moreover, in each embodiment mentioned above, the game devices 10 and 10A do not need to produce | generate an operation score in real time in preview mode. In this case, for example, the game apparatuses 10 and 10A generate operation musical scores in the entire range of music or moving images in advance and store them in the storage units 140 and 140A. When the game device 10 or 10A receives an operation for previewing the operation score, the game device 10 or 10A reads the operation score from the storage units 140 and 140A and displays it. As a result, even when the same operation score as the operation score previewed by a certain user in the past is previewed again or when the same operation score is previewed by a plurality of users, the game devices 10 and 10A are operated in duplicate. There is no need to create a score. Therefore, the processing load can be reduced.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the case where the timing designated by the user in the preview mode, that is, the second timing, is the reproduction time corresponding to the lower end of the operation musical score, is not limited to this. For example, the game devices 10 and 10A may be able to specify the appearance time corresponding to the upper end of the operation score as the second timing, or may be able to specify the time corresponding to the center of the operation score. Thus, the second timing may be an arbitrary time during the first period. When the second timing is the appearance time, the time range of the displayed sequence data SD10, that is, the second period, is a period from the second timing to the reproduction time before the predetermined period. Further, when the second timing is a time corresponding to the center of the operation score, the second period is a predetermined period in which the second timing is an intermediate period. Thus, the second period may be determined by a different method depending on the type of the second timing.

  Further, a program for realizing the functions of the above-described game apparatuses 10, 10A, and terminal device 30A is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on the recording medium is read into a computer system and executed. As a result, processing as the game apparatuses 10 and 10A and the terminal apparatus 30A may be performed. Here, “loading and executing a program recorded on a recording medium into a computer system” includes installing the program in the computer system. The “computer system” here includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices. The “computer system” may include a plurality of computer devices connected via a network including a communication line such as the Internet, WAN, LAN, and dedicated line. The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a storage device such as a flexible medium, a magneto-optical disk, a portable medium such as a ROM and a CD-ROM, and a hard disk incorporated in a computer system. As described above, the recording medium storing the program may be a non-transitory recording medium such as a CD-ROM. The recording medium also includes a recording medium provided inside or outside that is accessible from the distribution server in order to distribute the program. The code of the program stored in the recording medium of the distribution server may be different from the code of the program that can be executed by the terminal device. That is, the format stored in the distribution server is not limited as long as it can be downloaded from the distribution server and installed in a form that can be executed by the terminal device. Note that the program may be divided into a plurality of parts, downloaded at different timings, and combined in the terminal device, or the distribution server that distributes each of the divided programs may be different. Furthermore, the “computer-readable recording medium” holds a program for a certain period of time, such as a volatile memory (RAM) inside a computer system that becomes a server or a client when the program is transmitted via a network. Including things. The program may be for realizing a part of the functions described above. Furthermore, what can implement | achieve the function mentioned above in combination with the program already recorded on the computer system, and what is called a difference file (difference program) may be sufficient.
