A special effect image may be added to the player image on which the images are superimposed.

FIG. 11 shows the configuration of another example of a game system for explaining an embodiment of the present invention.

The play system 101 shown in FIG. 11 takes an image of the player P, synthesizes the player image obtained by the imaging and the effect image, displays the image, and outputs the effect sound to make the player become an effect character. It provides "play" to the player P. A smartphone 2 is used for imaging, image display, and audio output, as in the game system 1 described above. In the following description, FIG. 2 will be referred to as appropriate for the components of the smartphone 2.

The game system 101 is configured to change the production of "impersonator play" by displaying an image or outputting audio according to the goods G possessed by the player P, which are goods related to the production character. ..

Specifically, identification information is given to the goods G for each type, and the smartphone 2 acquires the identification information of the goods G. Goods-related production data provided for each goods is stored in the storage unit 15 of the smartphone 2 in association with the identification information of the goods. The control unit 18 of the smartphone 2 executes the production process based on the goods-related production data corresponding to the acquired identification information, and according to the goods G possessed by the player P, the image display and the audio output are used for “playing with impersonators”. ”Change the production.

The exchange of identification information between the goods G and the smartphone 2 can be performed by using, for example, voice or light. In the exchange of identification information via voice, the voice output from the goods G can be collected by the microphone 21 of the smartphone 2, and the identification information included in the voice can be acquired by voice recognition. Further, in the exchange of identification information via light, the light emission of the goods G can be imaged by the imaging unit 13 of the smartphone 2, and the identification information included in the light emission pattern can be acquired by pattern matching.

In addition, the exchange of identification information between the goods G and the smartphone 2 can also be performed by using infrared communication, Bluetooth (registered trademark), or wireless communication between other devices. Generally, the external input / output unit 16 of the smartphone 2 is provided with a transmission / reception unit such as infrared communication and Bluetooth (registered trademark), and the smartphone 2 supports the exchange of identification information by infrared communication and Bluetooth (registered trademark). The identification information transmitted from the goods G may be received by the receiving unit. Further, in the exchange of identification information by wireless communication between other devices, the corresponding receiving unit may be connected to the external input / output unit 16 to receive the identification information transmitted from the goods G.

It is preferable that the exchange of identification information between the goods G and the smartphone 2 is performed without making the player P aware of it. From this point of view, toys are suitable as the goods G. For example, in the case of a toy that outputs or emits sound as an effect for operation, the sound or light is used as a part of "playing with impersonator". Identification information can be exchanged without making the player P aware of it.

In this example, it is assumed that the identification information is exchanged between the goods G and the smartphone 2 via voice, and the voice including the identification information output from the goods G is acquired by the microphone 21 of the smartphone 2. Explain as what to do.

FIG. 12 shows an example flow of "impersonator play" provided by the game system 101.

In the example shown in FIG. 12, in addition to the production for each goods G, a default production that is not related to the goods G is also prepared, and even when the player P does not have the goods G, "playing" can be performed. It is configured as follows.

First, under the control of the control unit 18, the voice input / output unit 12 acquires the voice output from the goods G possessed by the player P by the microphone 21 (step SS1). Then, the control unit 18 detects the identification information included in the acquired voice (step SS2).

When the player P does not have the goods G and the identification information is not detected, the image pickup unit 13 takes an image of the player P under the control of the control unit 18, and the display unit 14 is obtained by the image pickup. The player image is displayed on the display panel 23 in real time (step SS3).

The control unit 18 sequentially recognizes the player operation based on the player image (step SS4), and determines a match between the recognized player operation and the predetermined operation (step SS5). Then, when the control unit 18 detects a player operation that matches a predetermined operation, the control unit 18 executes the effect process based on the default effect data stored in the storage unit 15 (step SS6). As the effect processing, the above-mentioned transformation effect process and special move effect process can be applied.

On the other hand, when the identification information of the goods G is detected, the control unit 18 reads out the effect data stored in the storage unit 15 in association with the detected identification information (step SS7).

Then, under the control of the control unit 18, the imaging unit 13 images the player P, and the display unit 14 displays the player image obtained by the imaging on the display panel 23 in real time (step SS8).

The control unit 18 sequentially recognizes the player operation based on the player image (step SS9), and determines a match between the recognized player operation and the predetermined operation (step SS10). The predetermined operation may be a common operation regardless of the goods G, but may be a different operation for each goods G. By making the predetermined operation different for each goods G, it is possible to enhance the interest.

Then, when the control unit 18 detects a player operation that matches a predetermined operation, the control unit 18 executes an effect process based on the goods-related effect data read from the storage unit 15 (step SS11). As the effect processing, the above-mentioned transformation effect process and special move effect process can be applied.

In this way, by changing the production process according to the goods G, for example, in the case of "impersonator play" that transforms into a production character, a plurality of production characters and a plurality of costumes can be used, and the special move of the production character can be performed. In "Narikiri Play", you can use multiple special moves to create a variety of effects. As a result, it is possible to enhance the fun as a play.

In this example as well, it is possible to combine a plurality of effect processes. For example, assuming that the goods-related production data of the goods G is an additional costume image of the production character such as a weapon costume, the player image (composite image) on which the character image or the costume image is superimposed is made to follow the player operation in the transformation effect processing. During the period during which the follow-up process is being performed, the identification information of the goods G is detected and the player operation is recognized, and when a predetermined operation is detected, an additional costume image is added as an effect process according to the goods G. It may be added to the composite image.

Further, when a plurality of effect processes are combined, the effect process executed according to the goods G may be changed in relation to the effect process being executed (or the effect process immediately before). In this case, as the goods-related production data of each goods, in addition to the single goods-related production data that is not combined with other production data, a plurality of goods-related production data (combination goods-related) that is combined with other production data. Production data) is prepared. Then, if the identification information of the goods G is detected during the period in which the following effect processing for making the composite image follow the player operation is performed in the effect processing (or the immediately preceding effect processing) being executed, the data is executed. The effect processing according to the goods G is executed based on the goods-related effect data (combination goods-related effect data) corresponding to the combination with the effect data of the effect process (or the immediately preceding effect process). If the identification information of the goods G is detected after the immediately preceding effect processing is completed, the effect process is executed based on the individual goods-related effect data. In this way, by changing the effect processing executed according to the goods G in relation to the effect process being executed (or the effect process immediately before), a wider variety of effects can be produced, which is a hobby as a play. You can improve your sex. In that case, the game system has an imaging unit that images the player and acquires the player image, a storage unit that stores the effect data including the effect image that makes the player impersonate the effect character, and a display unit that displays the image. The control unit recognizes the player operation based on the player image, and when the player operation matching a predetermined operation is detected, the control unit reads the effect data from the storage unit and reads the effect data. The effect processing is executed based on the effect data, and the effect process is a composition process in which the effect image is combined with the player image and displayed on the display unit, and an image generated by the composition process is used for the player operation. It includes a tracking process for tracking and displaying on the display unit, and further includes an acquisition unit for acquiring identification information of the goods of the effect character possessed by the player, and the effect data is provided for each of the goods. The storage unit includes the goods-related effect data stored in the storage unit in association with the identification information of the goods, and the storage unit receives the goods identification information as the goods-related effect data when the acquisition unit acquires the identification information of the goods. Independent goods-related production data read by the control unit regardless of the combination of the acquired identification information and the production data for which the effect processing is executed when the identification information is acquired, and the acquired identification information. When the combination with the effect data for which the effect process is executed when the identification information is acquired is a predetermined combination, the combination goods-related effect data read by the control unit is stored, and the control unit stores the combination goods-related effect data. , When the acquisition unit acquires the identification information of the goods, it is determined whether or not the effect processing is executed, and when it is determined that the effect process is not executed, it is associated with the acquired identification information. The single goods-related production data is read from the storage unit, the production processing is executed based on the read single goods-related production data, it is determined that the production processing is being executed, and the acquired identification information is obtained. When the combination of the effect data for which the effect process is executed matches the predetermined combination, the combination goods-related effect data associated with the acquired identification information is read from the storage unit, and the read plurality of data are read out. It may be configured as a game system that executes the production process based on the goods-related production data. Further, the execution of the effect processing based on the goods-related effect data may be executed when a player operation that matches a predetermined operation corresponding to the identification information of the goods acquired by the acquisition unit is detected. Further, in this game method, when the imaging step of imaging the player and acquiring the player image and the player operation are recognized based on the player image and the player operation matching the predetermined operation is detected, the player is directed by the effect character. The effect processing includes an effect step of executing the effect process based on the effect data including the effect image that makes the player image become, and the effect process is a composition process of synthesizing and displaying the effect image on the player image, and a composition process. The effect data includes a follow-up process for displaying the generated image by following the player's operation, and the effect data includes the item-related effect data provided for each item of the effect character. The goods-related production data includes an acquisition step for acquiring the identification information of the goods of the effect character possessed, and the goods-related production data is the acquired identification information and the identification when the identification information of the goods is acquired in the acquisition step. The effect processing is executed when the information is acquired. The effect data is used regardless of the combination with the effect data, and the effect process is performed when the acquired identification information and the identification information are acquired. The combination goods related effect data used when the combination with the executed effect data is a predetermined combination is included, and the effect step executes the effect process when the identification information of the goods is acquired by the acquisition step. When it is determined that the effect processing is not executed in the effect process determination step including the effect process determination step for determining whether or not the effect is performed, the single goods-related effect data associated with the acquired identification information is added. The effect processing is executed based on the above, and when it is determined that the effect process is being executed in the effect process determination step, the combination of the acquired identification information and the effect data on which the effect process is executed is the predetermined combination. Including a combination determination step of determining whether or not the data matches, when it is determined in the combination determination step that the combination matches the predetermined combination, the effect processing is performed based on the plurality of goods-related production data associated with the acquired identification information. It may be a game method to be executed. At this time, the execution of the effect processing based on the goods-related effect data in the effect step is executed when a player operation that matches a predetermined operation corresponding to the identification information of the goods acquired by the acquisition step is detected. May be good. Further, this program may be a program that causes a computer to execute each step of the game method.

As a further modification, with respect to the goods-related production data provided for each goods, the individual goods-related production data may be eliminated and only the combination goods-related production data may be included. In addition, a plurality of combination goods-related production data may be prepared for each goods. That is, when the identification information of a certain goods is acquired as the combination goods-related effect data, the effect data in which the effect process is executed becomes the first predetermined combination with the acquired identification information a. The first combination goods-related goods read out when they match the production data, and the second combination goods read out when they match the acquired identification information and the second production data which is the second predetermined combination. Related production data may be included. In this case, even if you own only one type of goods, you can enjoy a plurality of effects depending on the effect data of the effect process being executed. For example, even if there is only one type of transformation item as goods, the production data executed when the identification information of the transformation item is acquired can be transformed into hero A1 and can be played as it is (first). In the case of (directing data), the directing process is executed based on the directing data (first combination-related directing data) that can be transformed into hero A2 and played as if it were, and the executed directing data is different from that of hero A1. If the production data can be transformed into hero B1 and can be played as it is (second production data), it is based on the production data that can be transformed into hero B2 different from hero A2 and can be played as it is (second combination-related production data). The effect processing can be executed, and one type of transformation item can be used to enjoy a plurality of effects.

Although the smartphone 2 has been described as the hardware of the game systems 1 and 101, various hardware resources of the smartphone 2 (audio input / output unit 12, imaging unit 13, As long as it has the same functions as the display unit 14, the storage unit 15, and the control unit 18), it is not limited to the smartphone 2.

Further, as described above, the process executed by the control unit 18 can be provided as a program, and the program is recorded on, for example, a computer-readable non-temporary recording medium.
