Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-218056

  As described above, the conventional music game mainly scores whether or not it can be pressed at an appropriate timing. For this reason, conventional music games, for example, did not consider measures that would motivate performance in providing an experience of creating music by freely combining various performance sounds such as guitar, drums, and bass. .

  For example, in a music game with an emphasis on timing as described in Patent Document 1 described above, since the evaluation is based only on the number of simple calculations, rather than an evaluation from a musical point of view, the timing is rather finely matched. The technical evaluation remained.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and is a terminal device that can provide a performance environment in which a performance experience can be further enjoyed in a performance environment (performance game) in which performance is performed by freely combining arbitrary performance sounds. It is an object of the present invention to provide a performance execution method, a performance execution program, and a performance execution program recording medium for the terminal device.

Specifically, the terminal device stores in advance various performance sound data with different musical instruments, music pieces, etc., and is combined according to the user's operation, as if the performance sound is freely combined. An experience can be provided.

  In the above aspect, the performance evaluation data is a comment associated with an evaluation set classified by an evaluation item based on at least one music element among genre, melody, rhythm, harmony, and timbre. For example, the evaluation set can be classified into three stages of “low frequency”, “medium frequency”, and “high frequency” with the rhythm switching frequency as an evaluation item. Then, performance evaluation data such as “It was a groovy play!” Can be associated with an evaluation set of “High rhythm switching frequency”, and an evaluation set of “Rhythm switching frequency is low”. Performance evaluation data such as “It's a performance that makes you feel relaxed!” Can be associated.

According to the above aspect, the evaluation set corresponding to the past performance is specified based on the evaluation item. For example, if a past performance falls under an evaluation set that is a combination of up-tempo performance sound data and ballad-like performance sound data and is classified as “frequency of rhythm switching is high,” this corresponds to the evaluation set. The attached performance evaluation data such as “It was a groovy play!” Is displayed on the screen or output as audio. In this way, according to the above aspect, it is possible to quantitatively evaluate past performances and present performance evaluation data associated with the evaluation set to an actual user who operates the terminal device.

Further, an evaluation set in which the evaluation item C76 is “lead musical instrument” is classified into “comment on orthodox techno” (group G707).

-Evaluation item C77
The evaluation item C77 classifies the evaluation set based on the number of melodies constituting the performance. Specifically, the evaluation item C77 is an item for classifying the evaluation set based on the number of melodies. In the evaluation item C77, an evaluation set of “many melody” (for example, the number of melody is 3 or more) is classified as “techno-oriented chill-out comment” (group G708), and “there is little melody” (for example, the number of melody) Is less than 3), it is classified as a “techno-oriented ambient comment” (group G709).

  The performance evaluation data storage unit 220a stores comment data suitable for each group in association with the evaluation sets classified by the evaluation items as described above, that is, the groups G601 to G611 and G701 to G709. That is, the performance evaluation data storage unit 220a, as shown in FIG. 8, includes a data ID 801 for identifying individual performance evaluation data, an evaluation set 802 indicating groups G601 to G611, G701 to G709, and performance evaluation data. 803 are stored in association with each other.

(4-2) Game processing unit 100a
The game processing unit 100 a includes a performance sound reproduction unit 110, an evaluation set identification unit 120, and a performance evaluation data output unit 130.

  The performance sound reproduction unit 110 reproduces performance sound data in accordance with an input operation of a real user who operates the operation input unit 12. Here, playing the performance sound data means outputting a sound from a speaker mounted on the terminal device 1. Here, data that can reproduce past performance such as performance sound data used in one performance, reproduction timing of each performance sound data, and end timing is temporarily stored in the game data storage unit 200a. The

  Based on the evaluation item, the evaluation set specifying unit 120 specifies an evaluation set corresponding to a past performance reproduced by combining performance sound data according to an operation input. Specifically, the evaluation set specifying unit 120 specifies whether the genre (evaluation item) of the performance sound data used for the past performance is hip hop or techno. Subsequently, when the genre of the performance sound data used for the past performance is hip-hop music, the evaluation set specifying unit 120 selects an evaluation set corresponding to the past performance as a group G601 based on the evaluation items C61 to C68 described above. Specify from G611. On the other hand, when the genre of the performance sound data used for the past performance is techno music, the evaluation set specifying unit 120 assigns the evaluation set corresponding to the past performance to the groups G701 to G709 based on the evaluation items C71 to C77 described above. Identify from the inside.

  The performance evaluation data output unit 130 reads out performance evaluation data associated with the evaluation set corresponding to the past performance from the performance evaluation data storage unit 220a and outputs the data. For example, when the past performance corresponds to the “techno-oriented chill-out comment” (evaluation set) of the group G708, the performance evaluation data output unit 130 performs performance evaluation data associated with the group G708 (for example, “heart 9) is displayed on the display area 91 of the screen or output as audio, as shown in FIG.

(4-3) Processing in Terminal Device 1a As an example of processing in the terminal device 1a of the present embodiment, processing of the game processing unit 100a as shown in FIG. 10 will be described.

  In step S1001, the performance sound reproduction unit 110 accepts a performance sound data reproduction request in response to an input operation of a real user who operates the operation input unit 12, and reproduces the performance sound data in response to the accepted reproduction request. The process proceeds to step S1002.

  In step S1002, the evaluation set identification unit 120 determines whether or not the performance by the performance sound reproduction unit 110 has been completed. If the performance set has not been completed (S1002: No), the step is repeated and the performance is completed ( In step S1002: Yes, the process proceeds to step S1003.

  In step S1003, the evaluation set specifying unit 120 performs various evaluations on performance sound data used in the finished performance (past performance), playback start timing, playback end timing, tone color (instrument sound, voice sound), and the like. It judges whether it corresponds to an item (evaluation item C61-C68, C71-C77), specifies the evaluation set (group G601-G611, G701-G709) applicable to a past performance, and progresses to step S1004.

  In step S1004, the performance evaluation data output unit 130 reads performance evaluation data corresponding to the evaluation set specified in step S1003 from the performance sound data storage unit 210a, and displays the above-described game screen as shown in FIG. Output.

  According to the processing shown in FIG. 10, the past performance can be quantitatively evaluated, and performance evaluation data associated with the evaluation set can be presented to the actual user who operates the terminal device. In other words, according to the processing shown in FIG. 10 described above, it is possible to stimulate the real user's willingness to perform by presenting a quantitative evaluation based on a musical viewpoint for the performance freely combined by the real user. .

  In addition, since the genre of performance sound data reproduced in one performance is included in the evaluation items, performance evaluation data suitable for hip hop is output when past performance is combined with performance data of hip hop. In addition, when a past performance is combined with techno performance sound data, performance evaluation data suitable for techno is output, and an evaluation suitable for the genre can be presented to the actual user.

  Also, since the frequency of performance sound data switching is included in the evaluation item, the impression of the overall performance that is affected by changes in development such as melody and rhythm is meticulously evaluated, and comments suitable for past performances are given to actual users. Can be presented.

  In addition, the frequency at which a specific instrument sound is played in a single performance, such as whether drum or piano instrument sounds are frequently used or drums are frequently struck between one measure, is the overall performance of the performance. It can have a big impact on the impression. Utilizing such characteristics, the evaluation set is subdivided by including the frequency of musical instrument sounds reproduced in one performance in the evaluation items, so that quantitative evaluation of the impression of the entire performance can be made to an actual user. Can be presented.

  Further, for example, when a drum is repeated over 3 bars in the same way (pattern) such as 8 beats, 16 beats, etc., the time during which a predetermined instrument sound is reproduced in the same pattern in the performance is It can have a big impact on the overall performance. Utilizing such characteristics, the evaluation user can quantitatively evaluate the impression of the entire performance by subdividing the evaluation set by including the time during which a predetermined musical instrument sound is reproduced with the same pattern in the performance as an evaluation item. Can be presented against.

  Also, for example, the impression of the overall performance varies greatly depending on the tone of the main melody, such as vocal (voice sound), bass (string instrument sound), and lead instrument sound. By utilizing such characteristics and subdividing the evaluation set by including the timbre responsible for the main melody in the performance in the evaluation item, it is possible to present a quantitative evaluation to the actual user about the impression of the entire performance. it can.

  For example, even if the performance is quiet, the larger the number of melodies that make up the performance, the more chilled out the impression, and the smaller the number of melodies that make up the performance, the more the ambient impression tends to be given. By using such a tendency, the evaluation set is subdivided by including the number of melodies constituting the performance in the evaluation items. Can be presented.

  Further, for example, as the number of patterns in which the melody or rhythm is switched increases, an impression of developing in a short span is given, and as the number of patterns in which the melody or rhythm is switched decreases, a stoic impression tends to be given. By using such a tendency, the evaluation user can subdivide the evaluation set by including the number of patterns in which the melody or rhythm changes in one performance in the evaluation item, thereby quantitatively evaluating the impression on the entire performance. Can be presented against.

  In addition, for example, depending on the number of performance sound data reproduced at the same time, the overall performance impression can be greatly affected. By using such characteristics, the evaluation set is subdivided by including the number of performance sound data reproduced simultaneously in one performance in an evaluation item, and a quantitative evaluation of the impression on the entire performance can be performed by an actual user. Can be presented against.

  Also, for example, the longer the time that a predetermined number or more of performance sound data is reproduced simultaneously in a single performance, the more impressive the impression is, while the predetermined number or more of performance sound data is simultaneously reproduced in a single performance The shorter is the tendency to give the impression that the arrangement is extreme. By using such a tendency, the evaluation set is subdivided by including the time during which a predetermined number or more of the performance sound data is reproduced at the same time in one performance, and the evaluation set is quantified. Can be presented to real users.

  Further, for example, the larger the number of performance sound data reproduced in one performance, the more various impressions are given, while the smaller the number of performance sound data reproduced in one performance, the less plain. It tends to give the impression that it is developed. By using such a tendency, the evaluation user can quantitatively evaluate the impression of the entire performance by subdividing the evaluation set by including the number of performance sound data reproduced in one performance in the evaluation item. Can be presented against.

(4-4) Modifications In the present embodiment, various modifications are possible without being limited to the above-described configuration. For example, the performance evaluation data storage unit 220a may store two or more different performance evaluation data in association with the same evaluation set. In such a case, it is preferable to output performance evaluation data using the operation history of the performance game, for example, according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S1101, the performance sound reproduction unit 110 reproduces performance sound data in accordance with an input operation of a real user who operates the operation input unit 12, and the process proceeds to step S1102.

  In step S1102, the evaluation set identification unit 120 determines whether or not the performance by the performance sound reproduction unit 110 has been completed. If the performance set has not been completed (No in S1102), the step is repeated and the performance is completed ( In step S1102: Yes, the process proceeds to step S1103.

  In step S1103, the evaluation set specifying unit 120 performs various evaluations on performance sound data used in the finished performance (past performance), playback start timing, playback end timing, tone color (instrument sound, voice sound), and the like. It judges whether it corresponds to an item (evaluation item C61-C68, C71-C77), specifies the evaluation set (group G601-G611, G701-G709) applicable to a past performance, and progresses to step S1104.

  In step S1104, the performance evaluation data output unit 130 performs performance evaluation data that has not been output in the past, based on the operation history of the performance game, from the performance evaluation data corresponding to the evaluation set identified in step S1103. Is read out from the performance evaluation data storage unit 220a, output to the screen as shown in FIG. 9, and the processing shown in FIG. 11 is terminated.

  If there is only one piece of performance evaluation data associated with the evaluation item, only the same comment may be displayed, and there is a possibility that the real user's willingness to play is reduced. Therefore, two or more different performance evaluation data are prepared in association with the same evaluation set, and the performance evaluation data is determined based on the operation history of the performance game, as shown in FIG. To output performance evaluation data that has not been output in the past. Thereby, the situation where only the same comment is displayed can be prevented. In other words, it is possible to suppress a decrease in performance willingness of the real user.

  In this case, the game data receiving unit 321 (past performance receiving unit) receives from the terminal device past performance data reproduced by combining the performance sound data in accordance with the operation input. Then, the processing unit 32 (evaluation set specifying unit) specifies an evaluation set corresponding to the past performance from the evaluation set. And the game data transmission part 322 (performance evaluation data transmission part) reads the performance evaluation data matched with the specified evaluation set from the game data storage part 31 (performance evaluation data storage part), It transmits to the terminal device 1.

  By transmitting performance evaluation data to the terminal device 1 in this way, the terminal device 1 does not need to store performance evaluation data in advance, and needs to specify an evaluation set corresponding to a past performance. Absent. That is, when the terminal device 1 accesses the game server 3, it is possible to acquire performance evaluation data for past performances performed by the actual user and display and output the data to the actual user.

  Further, the second and third embodiments may be combined. In other words, performance evaluation data corresponding to each evaluation set and proficiency level is output, satisfaction with the output performance evaluation data is received, and new performance evaluation data is acquired when the satisfaction level is less than a predetermined value.
