Further, the game machine 60 is a computer device, and is installed in a store or the like mainly for the purpose of making a large number of users repeatedly play a game to generate profits. The game machine 60 provides a music game in which a player dances in time with music as an example of a game involving a player's movement. The game machine 60 may provide other games other than music games, such as fighting games, puzzle games, quiz games, and sports games, which involve player actions. In the following, a case of providing a music game will be described as an example.

[Game overview]
Next, an outline of the music game provided by the game machine 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a game screen, and FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of the game system 100. As shown in FIG. 3, the game machine 60 includes a display device 64 on which a guide object and a character object are displayed. The display device 64 is, for example, a display such as a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, and an inorganic EL display, or a touch panel. Further, the display device 64 may be a light emitting device (for example, a light emitting diode) arranged in a matrix, or a projector that projects a game screen onto a part of a housing. Further, the game machine 60 includes a voice output device 65 that outputs a timing notification sound and a determination sound, which will be described later, as well as game music and sound effects that are played during the game. The audio output device 65 is, for example, a speaker. Although the display device 64 and the audio output device 65 are both provided in the housing of the game machine 60, they may be separate from the housing.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in the game provided by the game machine 60, a guide object for guiding the operation timing or the operation position to the player, and the main dancer MD and the back dancer BD as character objects are displayed on the display device 64. Is displayed. Then, the main dancer MD moves in synchronization with the movement of the player. That is, when the player moves his / her body, the main dancer MD also moves in synchronization with the movement of the player's body. For example, when the player moves the arm up and down, the arm of the main dancer MD also moves up and down, and when the player moves the foot left and right, the foot of the main dancer MD also moves left and right. Although two back dancer BDs are displayed in FIG. 2, the back dancer BD may not be present. Further, the back dancer BD may be one person or three or more people. Further, in place of or in addition to the dancer, objects such as items or animals that move in time with the music may be displayed.

The guide object includes a position object OB2 that guides the operation position and a timing object OB1 that guides the timing of performing the play operation. The position object OB2 guides the player to the operation position where a part of the body of the main dancer MD is overlapped. The player performs a dance motion so that a part of the body of the main dancer MD, which moves in synchronization with its own motion, overlaps with the position object OB2. Further, the timing object OB1 guides the timing at which the player performs a play operation. Therefore, the timing object OB1 jumps out of the position object OB2 and moves so as to return to the position object OB2 at the timing when the player should perform an operation. The player operates so that a part of the body of the main dancer MD overlaps with the position object OB2 at the timing when the timing object OB1 returns to the position object OB2.

FIG. 2 shows a state before the timing object OB1 jumps out of the position object OB2 and returns. The timing object OB1 moves toward the position object OB2 in the direction indicated by the arrow (direction from right to left in FIG. 2). Then, the player operates so that a part of the body of the main dancer MD, for example, an arm or a foot, overlaps with the position object OB2 at the timing when the timing object OB1 overlaps with the position object OB2. Since the main dancer MD moves in synchronization with the movement of the player, the player moves his / her body while looking at the main dancer MD displayed on the display device 64.

In the music game, the timing guided by the timing object OB1 (hereinafter, also referred to as “guidance timing”) is compared with the operation timing in which a part of the body of the main dancer MD overlaps with the position object OB2. And, if the deviation between the guidance timing and the operation timing is small, a high evaluation can be obtained. Further, if the deviation between the guidance timing and the operation timing is large, a low evaluation can be obtained or an evaluation cannot be obtained. In the example of FIG. 2, a good evaluation is obtained when the deviation is small, and the character "Good!" Is displayed on the display device 64 as an example of the high evaluation result.

Further, when the deviation is smaller, a higher evaluation is obtained, and the character "Perfect!" Is displayed by the display device 64 as an example of the high evaluation result. On the other hand, when the deviation is large, a low evaluation is obtained, and in the example of FIG. 2, the character "Bad!" Is displayed on the display device 64 as an example of the low evaluation result. In addition to the case where the deviation is large, the evaluation result is low when the body of the main dancer MD does not overlap with the position object OB2 at the guidance timing.

In a music game, the player moves his / her body according to the guidance timing and operation position guided by the guidance object. For example, the player moves his / her body at the timing when the timing object OB1 returns to the position object OB2. At this time, the player moves the body so that a part of the body of the main dancer MD overlaps with the position object OB2. As a result, the player is guided to perform a dance operation in time with the music. Further, the main dancer MD moves in synchronization with the movement of the player. Therefore, the player sees the movement of the main dancer MD displayed on the display device 64, and moves his / her body so that a part of the main dancer MD touches the position object OB2.

Further, the guide object may change in various ways over time. For example, as the change mode of the guide object, the area gradually decreases, the color gradually changes, the density gradually increases or decreases, the density gradually becomes brighter or darker, and the number of objects gradually increases. Includes aspects of increasing or decreasing. Further, the guide object may have a shape other than a circle, and may include letters, figures, patterns, numbers, and symbols, and combinations thereof.

Further, the user data includes a viewing video created by the user and user operation information as an example of information indicating the operation of the player. Then, the user data is stored in association with the user identification information unique to each user for identifying the user.

[Game console configuration]
As shown in FIG. 3, the game machine 60 includes a game machine control unit 61 that controls the game machine 60, and a game machine storage unit 62 that stores a control program. The game machine control unit 61 is a computer in which a processor that executes various arithmetic processes and operation controls according to a predetermined program and other peripheral devices are combined. As an example, the processor is, for example, a CPU or an MPU, and controls the entire game machine 60 based on the program stored in the game machine storage unit 62, and also controls various processes in an integrated manner. Further, the game machine storage unit 62 includes a RAM which is a system work memory for operating the processor, and a storage device such as a ROM, an HDD, and an SSD for storing a program and system software. Further, the game machine control unit 61 can also control according to a program stored in a portable recording medium such as a CD, DVD, CF card, and a USB memory, or an external storage medium such as a server on the Internet.

The game machine storage unit 62 is an external storage device such as a hard disk and a semiconductor storage device, which includes a non-volatile storage medium which is an example of a computer-readable non-temporary storage medium. Further, the game machine storage unit 62 records the game data acquired from the game server 10 together with the game machine program PG3. The data for the game is used to make the user play a predetermined game according to the game machine program PG3. The game data may include image data, music data, and sequence data, as in the game data 15 stored in the server storage unit 12. Further, the data for the game may include object data.

Further, the game machine 60 has a photographing device 63 as an example of a detection device that detects the movement of the player during the play of the game. The photographing device 63 photographs the movement of the player and stores it in the game machine storage unit 62 as a play moving image. Further, the game machine 60 includes a display device 64 on which the game screen is displayed. Further, the game machine 60 includes a voice output device 65 that outputs voices such as music, timing notification sound, determination sound, evaluation sound, and sound effect that are output during game play.

The photographing device 63 is a camera as an example, and may be composed of a plurality of cameras. The camera is arranged so that the entire body of the player is included in the shooting range. For example, the operation information acquisition unit 61B of the game machine control unit 61 analyzes the play video captured by the photographing device 63 and acquires bone information as an example of the operation information. The bone information means information indicating bones connecting points indicating the position coordinates of a part of the player's body, and in the bone information, the bones are connected to each other by the connection point. Then, the player's play motion can be recorded as motion information based on the position and orientation of the player's bones in the play moving image and the displacement amount. The bone information represents the bones of the player at each time point with the passage of time from the start of the game. However, the operation information acquisition unit 61B may predict the position, orientation, and displacement amount of the bone and include it in at least a part of the bone information.

Further, the photographing device 63 may be a camera that photographs a marker worn by the player on the body. In this case, the operation information acquisition unit 61B analyzes the image of the marker as a play moving image and acquires the operation information. Alternatively, the detection device may include a sensor that detects the movement of the player's body. For example, the detection device may be composed of an inertial sensor such as a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor that detects the movement of the player's body, and a recording device that records the detected movement. Further, the detection device may be composed of a magnetic or mechanical sensor that detects the movement of the player's body and a recording device that records the detected movement.

Further, the game machine control unit 61 provides a game to the player based on the game machine program PG3. Then, the game machine control unit 61 executes various arithmetic controls necessary for the progress of the game in order to control the progress of the game. As an example, the game machine control unit 61 causes the display device 64 to display the guidance timing and the operation position according to the position and the movement speed of the timing object OB1 that moves toward the position object OB2. Further, as a logical device, the game machine control unit 61 guides the video acquisition unit 61A as an example of the operation acquisition means, the operation information acquisition unit 61B as an example of the operation information acquisition means, and the game video generation unit 61C. It has a guide unit 61D as an example of the means, an evaluation unit 61E as an example of the evaluation means, and a notification unit 61F as an example of the notification means. These logical devices are realized by a combination of the hardware resources of the game machine control unit 61 and the game machine program PG3 as software resources.

[Video acquisition method]
The moving image acquisition unit 61A acquires a play moving image in which the movement of the player is captured. As an example, the moving image acquisition unit 61A acquires a play moving image taken by the photographing device 63. Alternatively, the moving image acquisition unit 61A may acquire the play moving image from a device different from the game machine 60. For example, when the game machine 60 is a home-use game device, the player uses a camera or the like mounted on a smartphone to shoot a play operation during the game. Then, the smartphone transmits the captured play video to the game machine 60. Then, the moving image acquisition unit 61A acquires the play moving image received by the game machine 60.

[Operation information acquisition means]
The operation information acquisition unit 61B analyzes the play moving image acquired by the moving image acquisition unit 61A. Then, the motion information acquisition unit 61B acquires the motion information of the player from the analysis result and stores it in the game machine storage unit 62. The operation information is information describing the operation of the player from the start to the end of the game selected by the player, and is stored in the server storage unit 12 by being included in the moving image generation data 16. For example, the game starts when the player performs a start operation and ends when the game time set by the sequence data has elapsed. As an example, the motion information is bone information acquired by bone analysis by the motion information acquisition unit 61B. Alternatively, the motion information may be data indicating the position, orientation, and displacement amount of each part of the player's body.

[Game video generation method]
The game video generation unit 61C uses the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 61B to generate a game video displayed on the display device 64. As an example, the game video generation unit 61C uses object data acquired in advance from the game server 10 to generate a game video in which a character object moves according to motion information. At this time, the game moving image generation unit 61C may generate a game moving image in which the character object serving as the main dancer MD moves and the character object serving as the back dancer BD also moves. Further, the game moving image includes an image or a video such as a guide object, a background, and a staging image.

As an example, bones are also set in the character object, and the game moving image generation unit 61C changes the relative positions and orientations of adjacent bones of the character object according to the operation information of the player. As a result, the outer shape of the character object also changes. The appearance of the character object is represented by a texture that changes with changes in the position and orientation of the bones. In the game video, the movement of the player during the game is reflected in the movement of the character object in real time. For example, when the player moves the arm up and down, the arm of the character object also moves up and down. The player moves his / her body so as to perform a dance motion guided by the guide object while looking at the character object displayed on the display device 64.

Further, the game moving image generation unit 61C may use the operation information acquired from the game server 10. For example, the game machine control unit 61 uses operation information or the like prepared in advance by the administrator of the game server 10. As an example, the game video generation unit 61C generates a game video so that at least a part of the character object moves according to the operation information acquired from the game server 10. Further, the game moving image generation unit 61C may generate a game moving image so that the main dancer MD overlaps with the character object. Further, the game moving image generation unit 61C may select operation information as a material candidate from the available material group based on the instruction of the player. In this case, the game moving image generation unit 61C includes the back dancer BD or the main dancer MD that moves according to the selected motion information in the game moving image.

[Game console control means]
The game provided by the game machine control unit 61 may include a plurality of play options that can be selected by the player as play targets. The play options are, for example, the stage of the game, the music, the difficulty level, and the like. Then, the play options can be identified by the target identification information that identifies the play target selected by the player. As an example, the target identification information is identification information that identifies sequence data, but may be identification information that identifies a stage, a musical piece, or a difficulty level. Further, the game provided by the game machine control unit 61 may be configured to require the player to perform a dance operation corresponding to music as an operation of the player. As an example, the player performs a dance operation so that a part of the character object overlaps the position indicated by the position object OB2 at the timing guided by the timing object OB1. However, the dance motion corresponding to the music is not limited to the motion guided by the guide object. The player may move his / her body so as to take the rhythm of the music, or may perform any movement in time with the music.

[Guide means]
The guide unit 61D guides the player to the timing of performing the play operation. As an example, the guide unit 61D causes the display device 64 to display the timing object OB1 as shown in FIG. For example, the guide unit 61D reads out the guide timing included in the sequence data of the game data stored in the game machine storage unit 62. Then, the timing object OB1 is moved so that the timing object OB1 reaches the position object OB2 at the guidance timing. Further, the guide unit 61D causes the display device 64 to display the position object OB2 which is a guide object. Alternatively, the guide unit 61D may cause the voice output device 65 to output a sound indicating the guide timing. Further, the guide unit 61D may indicate the guide timing by turning on or off the light emitting device provided in the game machine 60. Further, the guide unit 61D may indicate the guide timing by vibrating the vibrating device provided in the game machine 60.

[Evaluation means]
The evaluation unit 61E evaluates the operation timing of the play operation with respect to the guidance timing. Specifically, the evaluation unit 61E evaluates the operation timing of the player's play operation based on the analysis result by the operation information acquisition unit 61B. For example, the evaluation unit 61E compares the operation timing at which the body of the main dancer MD reaches or is expected to reach the position object OB2 with the guidance timing. Then, the evaluation unit 61E evaluates the play operation based on the comparison result.

As an example, the evaluation unit 61E acquires the operation timing from the analysis result by the operation information acquisition unit 61B and compares it with the guidance timing of the sequence data. Then, when the operation timing is close to the guidance timing, the evaluation unit 61E stores the high evaluation in the game machine storage unit 62. On the other hand, when the operation timing is far from the guidance timing, the evaluation unit 61E stores a low evaluation in the game machine storage unit 62. Then, the evaluation unit 61E causes the display device 64 to display an image or a character (for example, the character of "Perfect", "Good", or "Bad") showing the evaluation result. Alternatively, the evaluation unit 61E may cause the voice output device 65 to output a voice indicating the evaluation result. Further, the evaluation unit 61E may show the evaluation result by turning on or off the light emitting device provided in the game machine 60. Further, the evaluation unit 61E may show the evaluation result by vibrating the vibrating device provided in the game machine 60.

Further, the evaluation unit 61E determines whether or not the user's operation is included in the predetermined determination range. As an example, when the evaluation unit 61E determines that the difference between the operation timing and the guidance timing is included in a narrow range, the evaluation unit 61E evaluates the game so as to improve the performance and adds a high score to the user's score. Further, when the evaluation unit 61E determines that the difference between the two is not included in the narrow range and is included in the standard range, the evaluation unit 61E evaluates the game so as to improve the score and adds a low score to the user's score. Further, when the evaluation unit 61E determines that the difference between the two is not included in the standard range, the evaluation unit 61E evaluates the game so that the result of the game is lowered, and deducts the score of the user. Alternatively, if the evaluation unit 61E determines that it is not included in the standard range, it is not necessary to add a score so that the result of the game does not improve. Further, the determination range may be a distance range between the operating position and the position indicated by the position object OB2. Then, when the game is completed, the evaluation unit 61E causes the display device 64 to display the score of the game.

The game machine control unit 61 may control the game so that the difficulty level of the game is determined according to the player's selection. For example, when a high difficulty level is selected, the game machine control unit 61 narrows the determination range. On the other hand, when a low difficulty level is selected, the game machine control unit 61 widens the determination range. Instead of or in addition to the determination range, the game machine control unit 61 may change the number or position of the position objects OB2. As an example, when a high difficulty level is selected, the game machine control unit 61 increases the number of position objects OB2. On the other hand, when a low difficulty level is selected, the game machine control unit 61 reduces the number of position objects OB2.

[Notification means]
The notification unit 61F notifies the player of the first notification indicating the arrival of the guidance timing. Further, the notification unit 61F notifies the player of the second notification having a predetermined relationship with the first notification and following the first notification. At this time, the notification unit 61F notifies the player of the second notification in a notification mode according to the evaluation result of the operation timing by the evaluation unit 61E. As an example, the notification unit 61F notifies the player of the first and second notifications by causing the voice output device 65 to output the first and second notifications. Further, the notification unit 61F may notify the player of the first and second notifications by displaying the images or characters indicating the first and second notifications on the display device 64. In this way, the notification unit 61F notifies the second notification having a predetermined relationship with the first notification and following the first notification according to the evaluation result of the operation timing. As a result, the player perceives that the first notification indicating the arrival of the guidance timing and the second notification according to the evaluation result are related to each other. Therefore, it is possible to suppress giving a sense of discomfort to the player and suppress a decrease in the interest in the game.

Alternatively, the notification unit 61F may notify the player of the first and second notifications by turning on or off the light emitting device provided in the game machine 60. Further, the notification unit 61F may notify the player of the first and second notifications by vibrating the vibrating device provided in the game machine 60. It should be noted that one of the first and second notifications may be notified by a device different from the other. For example, one of the first and second notifications may be notified by the voice output device 65, and the other may be notified by the display device 64.

For example, the predetermined relationship between the first notification and the second notification is a relationship that can be perceived by humans. As an example, the first notification and the second notification have a predetermined relationship by the timing of the notifications being continuous or overlapping. Further, the first notification and the second notification may have a predetermined relationship due to the fact that the sounds of the notifications are similar (for example, the pitch, loudness, frequency, etc. of the sounds are similar). Further, the first notification and the second notification may have a predetermined relationship by the display positions of the notifications being continuous or overlapping. Further, the first notification and the second notification may have a predetermined relationship due to the similarity of the contents of the notification (for example, the shape, the color, or the idea indicated by the image or the character).

Further, the notification unit 61F changes the notification mode of the second notification according to the evaluation result. For example, the notification unit 61F makes the sound, display, vibration, blinking pattern, etc. of the second notification different depending on the evaluation result. However, when there are a plurality of types of evaluations, some of them may have the same notification mode. For example, in a four-step evaluation of PERFECT, GREAT, GOOD, and BAD, a part thereof (for example, GREAT and GOOD) may be notified in the same manner (for example, the same sound).

As an example, the first notification is a timing notification sound output when the guidance timing is reached. Further, the second notification is a determination sound that is output after the output of the timing notification sound is started. In this case, the notification unit 61F continuously or overlaps the output timings of the timing notification sound and the determination sound so that the timing notification sound and the determination sound have the predetermined relationship described above. That is, the notification unit 61F causes the voice output device 65 to output the timing notification sound, and causes the voice output device 65 to output the determination sound so as to be continuous with the timing notification sound. Alternatively, the notification unit 61F causes the voice output device 65 to output the timing notification sound, and causes the voice output device 65 to output the determination sound before the output of the timing notification sound ends.

The timing notification sound and the determination sound will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 4, the vertical direction in the figure shows the flow of time from the start to the end of the game. Further, the evaluation by the evaluation unit 61E has three stages of PERFECT, GOOD, and BAD. If the operation timing is within a predetermined range of time including the guidance timing, the evaluation unit 61E evaluates that it is the best evaluation PERFECT. Further, the evaluation unit 61E evaluates that the BAD is the worst evaluation if the operation timing exceeds the time within a predetermined range from the guidance timing. Further, if the operation timing is between PERFECT and BAD, the evaluation unit 61E evaluates it as GOOD, which is a good evaluation.

The notification unit 61F notifies the first notification at the guidance timing regardless of the presence / absence of the operation by the player and the operation timing. For example, the notification unit 61F causes the voice output device 65 to output the sound "Pan!" As the timing notification sound. Then, in the example of the operation timing 1 in FIG. 4, the evaluation unit 61E evaluates as GOOD. Therefore, the notification unit 61F notifies the second notification according to GOOD so as to be continuous with the first notification. For example, the notification unit 61F causes the voice output device 65 to output a sound of "glittering" as a determination sound. When the evaluation unit 61E evaluates as PERFECT, the notification unit 61F causes the voice output device 65 to output a different sound (for example, a longer "glittering" determination sound) in the case of GOOD. Further, when the evaluation unit 61E evaluates as BAD, the notification unit 61F causes the voice output device 65 to output a sound different from that in the case of GOOD and PERFECT (for example, a determination sound of "Suka!").

In the example of FIG. 4, the timing notification sound is output at the guidance timing regardless of whether or not the player operates it. Then, by outputting the determination sound continuously with the timing notification sound, the timing notification sound and the determination sound have a predetermined relationship. Therefore, the player can perceive that the timing notification sound and the determination sound are related. Further, when the player himself / herself performs the play operation without physically touching something, it becomes difficult for the player to recognize whether or not the play operation has been performed. In this regard, by outputting the determination sound associated with the timing notification sound, the player can easily recognize that he / she has performed the play operation and that it has been evaluated.

As shown in FIG. 4, a processing time 1 is required from the operation timing 1 to the evaluation timing 1 at which the evaluation by the evaluation unit 61E is completed. That is, first, when the player performs a play operation, the photographing device 63 detects the play operation, and the moving image acquisition unit 61A acquires the play moving image. Second, the operation information acquisition unit 61B analyzes the play video. Third, the evaluation unit 61E acquires the operation timing from the analysis result by the operation information acquisition unit 61B and evaluates the play operation. Then, fourth, the notification unit 61F notifies the second notification (for example, the determination sound). Therefore, from the operation timing 1 to the evaluation timing 1, the processing time 1 is required for the first to fourth processes. In particular, the analysis of the play video by the operation information acquisition unit 61B takes a long time to process as compared with other processes.

Therefore, if the second notification is performed after the operation timing without the first notification, a time difference (or delay) occurs between the operation timing and the second notification even if the processing is appropriately performed. For example, if the determination sound is output without outputting the timing notification sound after the operation timing, a deviation occurs between the operation timing, the determination sound, and the output. Therefore, the player may perceive the deviation and feel discomfort or discomfort. Further, the player cannot recognize that the play operation has been performed at an appropriate timing until the determination sound is output. Therefore, when the play operation is continuously performed, the player may not be able to recognize the evaluation result.

Therefore, the notification unit 61F notifies the second notification having a predetermined continuity with the first notification and following the first notification according to the evaluation result of the operation timing. As a result, it is possible to suppress the player from perceiving the deviation and reduce the possibility of feeling discomfort or discomfort. Further, by the first notification, the player has a recognition as if the play operation was performed at the guidance timing. Therefore, the player can easily recognize that the play operation has been performed at an appropriate timing.

Further, the notification unit 61F notifies the second notification after the notification of the first notification is completed. The length of the time of the first notification (the length of the time from the start to the end of the output) is set so that the evaluation is completed by the end of the output of the first notification. That is, the time is set so as to start from the guidance timing and the evaluation timing is before the end of the output of the first notification. Specifically, the output of the first notification ends after the processing time 2 elapses and the evaluation timing 2 is reached from the end of the time range corresponding to the lowest evaluation (for example, BAD in FIG. 4). Is set to. As a result, even when the time from the guidance timing to the operation timing 2 is the longest (when the evaluation is the lowest), the output of the first notification does not end before the evaluation timing 2. That is, there is no discrepancy between the end of the output of the first notification and the start of the output of the second notification.

However, if the player can recognize that the first notification and the second notification have a predetermined relationship, even if there is a discrepancy between the end of the output of the first notification and the start of the output of the second notification. good. For example, in FIG. 5, when the evaluation unit 61E evaluates PERFECT, a discontinuity period is provided between the first notification and the second notification. As an example, the first notification consists of a triple-beat "bread-bread-bread" sound and a triple-beat "bread-bread-bread" sound, and the second notification consists of a seven-beat "bread-bread-bread-bread-bread" sound. In this case, although the first notification and the second notification are not continuous, the player can recognize that the time signature is 337 and perceive a predetermined relationship between the first notification and the second notification.

Further, the time from the start of the notification of the first notification to the notification of the second notification corresponding to the high evaluation may be shorter than that of the second notification corresponding to the low evaluation. As a result, the notification unit 61F sets the second notification as a notification mode according to the evaluation result. As an example, as shown in FIG. 6, the time for starting the notification of the second notification SP corresponding to the highly evaluated “PERFECT” from the guidance timing for starting the notification of the first notification is a lower evaluation. It is shorter than the second notification SG corresponding to "GOOD". That is, the notification of the second notification SP corresponding to the highly evaluated "PERFECT" is started at the evaluation timing 4 after the processing time 4 has elapsed from the operation timing 4 included in the evaluation range close to the guidance timing. On the other hand, the notification of the second notification SG corresponding to the low evaluation "GOOD" is started at the evaluation timing 3 after the processing time 3 has elapsed from the operation timing 3 included in the evaluation range far from the guidance timing.

As a result, the notification unit 61F makes the timing of notification start different between the second notification SP corresponding to the high evaluation "PERFECT" and the second notification SG corresponding to the low evaluation "GOOD". In the example of FIG. 6, the notification of the second notification is started before the end of the notification of the first notification. Therefore, a part of the first notification overlaps with the second notification.

Further, the first notification may be a timing notification image displayed when the guidance timing is reached. Then, the second notification may be a determination image displayed after the display of the timing notification image is started. In this case, the notification unit 61F displays a determination image that continuously changes from the display position of the timing notification image so that the timing notification image and the determination image have a predetermined relationship. As an example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the guidance timing is reached, the notification unit 61F displays the timing notification image PO1 on the outside of the position object OB2.

In the example of FIG. 7, when the notification unit 61F corresponds to the evaluation "BAD" having the lowest operation timing, it is made different from other evaluations by displaying only the timing notification image PO1 outside the position object OB2. .. When the operation timing corresponds to "GOOD", which is a better evaluation, the notification unit 61F displays the determination image PO2 so as to be continuous from the display position of the timing notification image PO1 following the display of the timing notification image PO1. .. Further, when the operation timing corresponds to "PERFECT", which is the best evaluation, the notification unit 61F displays the determination image PO3 so as to be continuous from the display position of the determination image PO2 following the display of the determination image PO2. ..

As a result, the notification unit 61F displays the determination image that continuously changes from the display position of the timing notification image so that the timing notification image PO1 and the determination images PO2 and PO3 have a predetermined relationship. In the example of FIG. 7, the notification unit 61F displays an image of fireworks gradually increasing from the timing notification image PO1 starting from the position object OB2, and notifies the evaluation result. That is, the notification unit 61F displays a small firework or does not display a firework when the evaluation result is low, and displays a large firework when the evaluation result is high.

There may be a time difference between the end of the display of the timing notification image PO1 and the start of the display of the determination images PO2 and PO3. Even in that case, since the player thinks of fireworks, he / she can perceive a predetermined relationship between the timing notification image PO1 which is the first notification and the determination images PO2 and PO3 which are the second notifications. Further, the timing notification image PO1 may not be displayed at the start of the display of the determination image PO2. Further, the determination image PO2 may not be displayed at the start of the display of the determination image PO3.

Further, the notification unit 61F may display the determination image so that the flower gradually opens, starting from the position object OB2. The notification unit 61F displays a small flower in the case of a low evaluation result or does not open the flower, and displays a large flower in the case of a high evaluation result.

[Server control means]
As shown in FIG. 3, the server control unit 11 has a game control unit 13 and a generation control unit 14. The game control unit 13 is a logical device for providing a game service, and the generation control unit 14 is a logical device for providing a moving image generation service. The game control unit 13 and the generation control unit 14 are logical devices, and are realized by a combination of the hardware resources of the server control unit 11 and the game program PG1 as software resources.

[Viewing video generation means]
The generation control unit 14 generates a viewing video so that an object selected from a plurality of objects based on a user's instruction using object data operates based on motion information. The object selection includes the object selection by the user operation, the object selection preset by the game server 10, and the object selection automatically performed by the game server 10.

As an example, the generation control unit 14 generates a viewing video by regenerating a game video. As a result, the player can create a game movie only by playing the game on the game machine 60. Therefore, the player does not need to prepare a camera, object data, video editing software, or the like. Alternatively, the generation control unit 14 may regenerate the game video so that at least one of the guide object, the timing notification image, and the determination image is excluded. This makes it possible to prevent the bodies of the main dancer MD and the back dancer BD from being hidden by the guide object, the timing notification image, or the determination image in the viewing video.

Further, when the viewing video is for distribution, the generation control unit 14 generates the viewing video in a format that can be distributed. As an example, the generation control unit 14 generates a viewing video in a file format such as MOV format, MPEG4 format, AVI format, WMV format, MPEGPS format, FLV format, 3GPP format, or WebM format so that it can be distributed by the distribution server. do. Further, the generation control unit 14 may generate a viewing moving image according to an encoding setting that can be distributed by the distribution server. For example, the generation control unit 14 generates a viewing moving image so that the audio codec, the moving image codec, the frame rate, the bit rate, the resolution, the aspect ratio, or the color space satisfy a predetermined condition required by the distribution server.

Further, the generation control unit 14 generates a viewing moving image so that the operation of the player during the game is expressed in a display mode different from the actual appearance of the player. As a result, the player can acquire a viewing video generated so as to hide his / her appearance (for example, a face). When a player wants to distribute a game video, the inclusion of a part of the body such as a face or physical features such as skin color in the game video motivates the player to hesitate to distribute the game video. In this regard, according to the game system 100, it is possible to generate a viewing moving image in which the movement of the player is expressed by a display mode (for example, a character object) different from the actual appearance of the player. Therefore, it is possible to remove the psychological obstacle for the player to distribute the moving image.

The different display mode is, for example, a mode expressed as an object that moves so as to reflect the movement of the player. Specifically, the generation control unit 14 uses the object data stored in advance in the server storage unit 12 to generate a viewing video in which the object moves according to the operation information. As an example, object data includes texture data applied to the appearance of a character object. Further, the object may be an object imitating a predetermined character, an object imitating a silhouette of the appearance of a player, or an object imitating a predetermined item such as a costume. Alternatively, the different display mode may be a mode in which a part of the player's body (for example, a face) is blurredly expressed by a mosaic or the like. As a result, it is possible to generate a viewing moving image in which the appearance of the player is not discriminated.

Further, the generation control unit 14 generates a viewing moving image so that the instruction of the user as an editor is reflected with respect to the display mode of the player. As an example, user instructions include adding or removing a back dancer BD, changing an object as a main dancer MD or back dancer BD, and changing motion information reflected in the movement of the main dancer MD or back dancer BD. When changing the operation information, the user may specify his / her own user operation information stored in the past, operation information of another player, or operation information prepared by the administrator of the game server 10. In addition, the user may instruct at least one change, addition or deletion of time, brightness, color, sound, image, text and the like. For example, the user may use the motion information at the time of play to create a viewing video including a character dancing in a music different from the music at the time of play. This can give new enjoyment of discovering a combination of motion information and music. Further, the generation control unit 14 may generate a viewing image so that the main dancer MD overlaps the back dancer BD, for example, the back dancer BD is located behind the main dancer MD. The instruction by the user is sent to the game server 10 according to the operation in.

A user who accesses the game server 10 via the user terminal selects a download icon displayed on the user terminal in order to specify a viewing video to be downloaded, and sends a download instruction to the game server 10. Then, the game server 10 transmits and provides the viewing video to the user terminal in response to the download instruction. The user terminal acquires and saves the received viewing video. The user can watch the downloaded viewing video and upload it to the distribution server.

[Processing flow]
Next, the processing of the notification of the first and second notifications will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, the guide unit 61D displays the timing object OB1 on the display device 64 and guides the player to the timing at which the play operation is performed (S101). When the guidance timing is reached, the notification unit 61F outputs a first notification indicating the arrival of the guidance timing and notifies the player (S102). After that, when the player performs a play operation, the evaluation unit 61E evaluates the operation timing of the play operation with respect to the guidance timing (S103). When the evaluation by the evaluation unit 61E is the highest "PERFECT" (YES in S103), the notification unit 61F outputs the second notification corresponding to the highest evaluation (S104). Then, the processing of the first and second notifications is completed.

On the other hand, when the evaluation by the evaluation unit 61E is not the highest "PERFECT" (NO in S103) and the evaluation is "GOOD" which is the highest evaluation (YES in S105), the notification unit 61F corresponds to the high evaluation. 2 Output the notification (S106). Then, the processing of the first and second notifications is completed. Further, when the evaluation by the evaluation unit 61E is "BAD" which is a low evaluation (NO in S105), the notification unit 61F does not output the second notification, but processes the notifications of the first and second notifications. finish. As a result, the notification unit 61F notifies the player of the second notification in a notification mode according to the evaluation result of the operation timing. Alternatively, if the evaluation by the evaluation unit 61E is a low evaluation "BAD" (NO in S105), the notification unit 61F may notify the second notification corresponding to the low evaluation.

According to the game system 100 described above, the player perceives that the notification indicating the arrival of the timing and the notification according to the evaluation result are related to each other. Therefore, it is possible to suppress giving a sense of discomfort to the player and suppress a decrease in the interest in the game.

Further, when the guidance timings are continuous, the arrival of the guidance timings may be indicated by one first notification for a plurality of guidance timings. Further, the viewing video is not limited to the video generated for distribution. The viewing moving image may be generated so that the player can watch it on his / her own terminal or another user can watch it on his / her own terminal. Furthermore, a viewing moving image may be generated for storage as data for recording. Further, the viewing video may not include a guidance object (for example, Notes) that guides the player to play. Even if notes and the like are not displayed in the viewing video, the viewer can enjoy watching the character dancing.

A part of the logical device of the game server 10 may be provided in the game machine 60. Further, a part of the logical device of the game machine 60 may be provided in the game server 10. For example, the moving image acquisition unit 61A and the operation information acquisition unit 61B may be provided in the game server 10. In this case, the video acquisition unit 61A of the game server 10 acquires the play video from the game machine 60, and the operation information acquisition unit 61B analyzes the acquired play video. Further, in the game server 10, the operation information acquisition unit 61B acquires operation information from the analysis result.

Further, when the game system 100 is applied to a quiz game, the generation control unit 14 generates a viewing video in which a character moving behind the respondent or a respondent other than the player moves according to the acquired motion information. You may. In this case, the game video generation unit 61C may also generate a game video in which the character or the respondent moves according to the acquired motion information.
