However, these functions may also be realized by hardware by configuring an electronic circuit or the like for realizing part or all of each function.

The game control unit 30 according to the embodiment of the present invention executes the rhythm game G on the player terminal 10 on which the game application CA has started. In the rhythm game G of this embodiment, the player can select a song via a selection screen or the like. During the rhythm game, that is, while the music is played and the player operates the player terminal 10 in time with the music being played, the music video is displayed in time with the music being played. In the rhythm game G of this embodiment, a target object is displayed at a target position, and a notes object indicating an operation position, an operation timing, and an operation mode is displayed and moved toward the target position according to the music being played. The target object indicates the player's operation position. In the rhythm game G of this embodiment, a plurality of game types with different degrees of difficulty may be provided for the same piece of music.

In this embodiment, the smartphone (first type player terminal) 10A is a personal computer in which the game application CA1 is installed, and the personal computer (second type player terminal) 10B is a personal computer in which the game application CA2 is installed. The game application CA1 and the game application CA2 are games of the same content (for example, rhythm game G of the game with the same title), and are applications for executing games corresponding to the respective types of smartphone and personal computer (for example, respective platforms). is. In the present embodiment, when the game application CA1 is activated on the smartphone 10A, the rhythm game G is executed according to the touch panel (pointing device), and when the game application CA2 is activated on the personal computer 10B, the keyboard (plurality of buttons) is activated. A rhythm game G is executed.

In one example, when a game application CA (for example, game application CA1 or CA2) is activated on the player terminal 10, the player terminal 10 communicates with the server 20 running the server application SA. do. The server 20 transmits and receives data necessary for providing game services to and from the player terminals 10 . In one example, the server 20 periodically or intermittently communicates with the player terminal 10 while the game application CA is running on the player terminal 10, and executes the game according to the game operation input on the player terminal 10. is executed, and the execution result is transmitted to the player terminal 10 . The server 20 is configured to transmit and receive data according to the type (platform) of the player terminal 10 . At this time, the server 20 can identify the type of the player terminal 10 based on the data received from the player terminal 10, for example, by identifying the game applications CA1 and CA2 from the received data.

The game control unit 30 associates and stores the player ID and the game information. In this embodiment, the server 20 stores the player ID and the game information in the storage device 24 in association with each other. For example, the game information includes the player's game progress or score. In one example, the server 20 receives the player ID and password from the player terminal 10, authenticates the player, and provides game services to the player terminal 10 using data stored in association with the player ID of the authenticated player. do. Once the player ID is authenticated, the game control unit 30 stores the data in association with the player ID until the game ends or the logout operation is received. It is sometimes described as simply memorizing things. Note that the player ID is one example of player identification information.

The player terminal 10 may be configured to receive downloadable data in advance from the game control unit 30 before the player plays the game, and store the data as data related to the game application CA. In this case, the player terminal 10 has the functions of the game control unit 30 excluding functions that need to be implemented in the server 20, such as updating data related to the player. Alternatively, the player terminal 10 may be configured as a thin client terminal for input/output. In this case, the server 20 has the functions of the game control unit 30 excluding the input/output function of the player terminal 10 .

A rhythm game G executed by the game control unit 30 in the smartphone 10A, which is the first type player terminal 10A, will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the game screen 40 of the rhythm game G displayed on the touch panel of the smartphone 10A by the game control unit 30. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the player plays the rhythm game G while holding the smartphone sideways so that the longitudinal direction of the touch panel is the horizontal direction and the short side direction is the vertical direction.

During the rhythm game, music (music) is output (reproduced) from the speaker of the player terminal 10 . In one example, the game screen 40 reproduces and displays a music video in which characters appear in time with the music being reproduced. For example, a music video is a game screen generated corresponding to a song, a game mode, a type such as 2D or 3D, and an image quality such as high image quality or low image quality, and a plurality of music videos are generated for one song. may The player can preset information for specifying the music video to be generated on a predetermined menu screen.

The game screen 40 includes five target objects 51 arranged horizontally at the bottom. In this embodiment, the target objects 51 displayed on the game screen 40 are, in order from the left, a first target object 51a, a second target object 51b, a third target object 51c, a fourth target object 51d, and a fifth target object 51d. A target object 51e. Each target object 51 is superimposed on the music video. For example, the target object 51 has a higher priority than the music video, and is always displayed in front of the music video image.

The five target objects 51 (target objects 51a to 51e) are displayed within a certain range based on their respective set target coordinates (target positions). On the game screen 40, the center positions of the five target objects 51 correspond to five target coordinates. In one example, if the horizontal coordinate in FIG. Both are equal. That is, the five target coordinates are set to have different x-coordinates and equal y-coordinates. In one example, each identification image is displayed within each target object 51 . For example, five identification images are determined based on a character preset by the player. Note that here the five target objects 51 are separated from each other in the x-axis direction, but the target objects themselves may touch each other. However, in this case, it is desirable for the player to be able to identify the boundary between two adjacent target objects.

A plurality of notes N (notes objects N) are displayed on the game screen 40 during the rhythm game. The notes N include a plurality of types of notes N including tap notes 41 (tap notes objects 41) and flick notes 42 (flick notes objects 42), as shown in the game screen 40 of FIG.

Each of the target coordinates (target position) corresponding to each of the target objects 51a to 51e is the reached position of the note N. FIG. In the rhythm game G, a plurality of types of notes N are moved and displayed from the top to the bottom of the game screen 40 according to the music played, and finally reach any target coordinate. In other words, a note N always corresponds to some target coordinate, and the note N moves toward the corresponding target coordinate. In the rhythm game G, when the target object 51 is touch-operated, a predetermined sound (operation sound) is output. When the operation sound is output at the timing when the note N reaches the target coordinates (target object 51), it gives the impression that the player is performing in accordance with the music. In one example, the notes N are all circular and have the same display area, and the five target objects 51 are all circular and have the same display area as the note N. In this case, the notes N and the target object 51 are all of the same shape. However, the notes N and the target object 51 may differ in shape and display area for each type.

Each note N is associated with an operation mode, and the player needs to perform an operation corresponding to the note N at a predetermined timing. The tap notes 41 are associated with a tap operation as an operation mode. The tap operation in this embodiment means the start of a new operation input (touch) on the touch panel by the player. In this embodiment, for example, when the player performs a long press operation on the touch panel, the start of this long press operation is also included in the tap operation.

The flick notes 42 are associated with a flick operation as an operation mode. Here, it is determined that a flick operation has been input when an operation of continuously moving a predetermined distance in the x-axis direction within a predetermined time and exceeding predetermined target coordinates in the x-axis direction is detected. However, the condition for determining whether or not a flick operation has been input is not limited to this, and can be set as appropriate. A flick note 42 is an object including a direction indicating display, and indicates the direction of the flick operation to the player. In FIG. 5, the flick notes 42 are objects with left or right arrows displayed, but they may include direction indications in one direction and direction indications in the opposite direction. For example, it may be an object displaying an arrow pointing up or down. Note that the direction indication display of the flick notes 42 may be indicated by the shape of the flick notes 42 . For example, the flick notes 42 may include a note object having a protrusion or a shape that protrudes in only one direction and a note object that has a protrusion or a shape that protrudes only in the direction opposite to the one direction.

As described above, the notes N are objects that instruct the player on the operation position (input position), operation timing, and operation mode. be done. A judgment period is set for each note N, and when an operation corresponding to the note N is input within the judgment period to a target object reached by the note N, a score is given based on the input timing. Granted. The points obtained in this way are accumulated, and the accumulated points are indicated by a score bar 52 provided at the top of the game screen 40 .

Also, a life bar 53 is provided at the top of the game screen 40 . The life bar 53 visually displays the remaining life value of the party, and when the life value reaches 0, the rhythm game is over. Note that the life value decreases when the operation corresponding to Notes N is not input at appropriate timing. For example, if a character preset by the player has the ability to increase the life value by satisfying a predetermined condition, the life value may increase.

The music reproduction unit 32 reproduces music on the smartphone 10A.

The object display unit 33 moves and displays at least one of the tap notes 41 and the flick notes 42 on the touch panel of the smartphone 10A so as to reach one of the plurality of target positions. For example, the object display section 33 displays notes N of a preset type in accordance with a piece of music to be reproduced, passing through a preset position at a preset time. Here, moving and displaying to reach the target position can include moving and displaying to pass the target position.

The input determination unit 34 determines the player's input to Notes N based on the player's input to the touch panel of the smartphone 10A. In this embodiment, the input determination unit 34 identifies player input from touch position, timing, and mode (tapping, flicking, etc.), and compares the identified player input with notes extraction information predetermined for each song. Thus, the player's input to Notes N is determined. The notes extraction information is information in which the type of notes N indicating the operation mode is associated with the elapsed time from the start of the rhythm game for each predetermined area (target object 51) for each piece of music. For example, the object display unit 33 can display notes N according to the notes extraction information. In the present embodiment, the game control unit 30 manages the elapsed time from the start of the rhythm game (measures the elapsed time, etc.), the music playback unit 32 plays back music when starting management of the elapsed time, The object display unit 33 displays notes N based on the elapsed time, and the input determination unit 34 determines player input based on the elapsed time. In one example, the game control section 30 performs a process of synchronizing the elapsed time of each functional section at a predetermined timing such as when the rhythm game starts (when music playback starts).

The game control unit 30 presets five touch determination areas (first to fifth touch determination areas) corresponding to the target objects 51a to 51e. Each of the touch determination areas includes a display area of each of the target objects 51a to 51e, and for example, the target coordinates are located at the center of the touch determination area in the x-axis direction. The input determination unit 34 receives a player's touch operation (player input) on the touch panel, and identifies the operation mode of the input operation. The input determination unit 34 can be configured to acquire the position of the input operation at this time. In one example, the input determination unit 34 identifies the operation mode and position of the player's input based on the acquired touch event. For example, the input determination unit 34 can identify the operation mode of the player input when the touch event "touchstart" occurs as a tap operation, and acquire the coordinates of the event occurrence position as the tap position. For example, the input determination unit 34 can identify the operation mode of the player input when the touch event "touchmove" occurs as a flick operation, and acquire the coordinates of the event occurrence position as the flick position.

When identifying that the input operation is a tap operation, the input determination unit 34 determines whether the tap position is included in any of the touch determination regions, and identifies the lane based on the determination result. The lanes correspond to target coordinates on a one-to-one basis, and in this embodiment, the game control unit 30 sets five lanes from the first lane to the fifth lane. When identifying that the input operation is a flick operation, the input determination unit 34 determines whether the flick position is included in any of the touch determination regions, and identifies the lane based on the determination result. In one example, the input determination unit 34 determines that the player input is a tap operation, and that the tap position is included in the n-th touch determination area (n is any integer from 1 to 5). If so, identify the position of the player input as being the n-th lane. In one example, when the input determination unit 34 determines that the position of the tap operation is not included in any touch determination area, it processes the player input as invalid. Note that the lane corresponds to the target coordinates or the target object 51 on a one-to-one basis. good. In this case, when specifying that the input operation is a tap operation, the input determination unit 34 determines whether the tap position is included in any of the touch determination regions, and based on the determination result, the target coordinate or the target coordinate is determined. It can be configured to identify the object 51 .

In this embodiment, the storage device 24 of the server 20 stores notes extraction information in which note information is associated with elapsed time from the start of the rhythm game for each song and each lane. After specifying the lane, the input determination unit 34 extracts notes N to be determined based on the notes extraction information set for each lane. In the notes extraction information, the number of frames displayed on the touch panel is set as the elapsed time. The number of frames per unit time, that is, the frame update interval is not limited, but the number of frames per second is 30 or 60, for example. The notes extraction information includes notes information related to each note N, each note information is associated with the type (operation mode) of the notes N (or includes the type of notes N), and a reference point is set for each note information. be done. The reference point is represented by the number of frames from the start of the rhythm game. The reference point is referred to when extracting notes information. If there is a reference point within the predetermined frame, the input operation and Notes information are associated. When the operation mode of the associated input operation (operation mode of player input) and the operation mode of notes information (type of notes N) correspond to each other, the input determination unit 34 regards the notes information as a determination target. Identify (determine). For example, if the operation mode of Notes information is a flick and the associated touch operation is a flick operation, the input determination unit 34 identifies the Notes information as a determination target. For example, if the operation mode of Notes information is a flick and the input touch operation is a tap operation, the input determination unit 34 does not specify the Notes information as a determination target. In one example, if the input determination unit 34 does not specify Notes information as a determination target, the input determination unit 34 treats the operation as not corresponding to any Notes N, that is, as invalid. In one modification, when the operation mode of Notes information is a tap, the input determination unit 34 can specify the Notes information as a determination target regardless of the mode of the associated touch operation. In one example, if the music is provided with a difficulty level, the storage device 24 of the server 20 stores Notes N for each song and its difficulty level for each lane at the elapsed time from the start of the rhythm game. Notes extraction information associated with a type is stored. In one modification, the input determination unit 34 may be configured to extract only note information associated with an operation mode corresponding to an operation mode of player input when extracting notes N to be determined. good.

In one example, when the game control unit 30 specifies that the input operation is a tap operation and that the tap position is in the fifth lane, the number of frames from the start of the rhythm game (elapsed time ), and based on the number of frames at the time of inputting the operation (for example, when the touch event of the operation occurs), among the notes information existing in the fifth lane, the earliest One piece of notes information is extracted, and if the extracted notes information is the tap notes 41, the notes information is specified as a determination target. Although the predetermined number of frames can be set as appropriate, it can be set to 10 frames, for example. In this case, if there is a reference point for any of the Notes information 10 frames before or 10 frames after the frame at which the operation is input, the earliest Notes information (with the smallest number of frames) among the Notes information is specified as a determination target. If there is no note information within 10 frames before and after, the operation does not correspond to any note N, ie, it is treated as invalid.

When any piece of notes information is identified as a determination target, the input determination unit 34 determines the timing of the player's input based on the reference point of the notes information and the timing at which the operation was input. For example, in the timing determination process, the input determination unit 34 determines whether or not the time at which the operation is input is within a predetermined determination period based on the reference point of the Notes information. judged as failure. The input determination unit 34 can also perform success determination at multiple levels according to the magnitude of the difference between the reference point of the Notes information and the time when the operation is input. In one example, the storage device 24 of the server 20 stores determination criterion information, and the input determination unit 34 performs timing determination processing based on the determination criterion information in which a determination period including a reference point is set. In this case, the determination period may differ depending on the Notes N, or may be common to all Notes N. Within the determination period, a determination interval is provided according to the difference between the reference point and the timing at which the operation is input. may Also, the number of judgment intervals and the number of frames in each judgment interval may be common to all notes N, or may differ from one note N to another.

As described above, the input determination unit 34 determines that the notes information specified as the determination target and subjected to the timing determination process is specified as the determination target, and deletes or flags it so that it will not be specified as the determination target at least until the rhythm game ends. processing such as attachment. Therefore, the same Notes information will not be identified as a determination target more than once. Therefore, even if the input determining unit 34 determines that the notes information related to a certain note N has failed, the notes information is not extracted again as a determination target.

The game score determination unit 35 determines the player's game score based on the determination of the player's input. The game score determination unit 35 gives a predetermined score to the player when the determination result of the timing is a success determination, and does not give a score when the determination result is a failure determination. In one example, the game score determining unit 35 gives the player a higher score as the difference between the reference point and the timing at which the operation is input is smaller.

A rhythm game G executed by the personal computer 10B, which is the second type of player terminal 10B, by the game control section 30 will be described. In the present embodiment, the rhythm game G (smartphone version game) executed on the smartphone 10A and the rhythm game G (PC version game) executed on the personal computer 10B have the same content, and data relating to these rhythm games G are stored in the storage device 24 of the server 20 and each game application CA. It should be noted that these data relating to the rhythm game G do not have to be completely the same data as long as the game operations such as the notes N that appear and the determination timing are the same. It may be data in a format or data structure. For example, the game screen of the rhythm game G executed on the personal computer 10B is the same as the game screen 40 of the rhythm game G executed on the smartphone 10A, and the music played during the rhythm game is also the same. For example, the music reproducing unit 32 reproduces music on the personal computer 10B. The object display unit 33 moves and displays at least one of the tap notes 41 and the flick notes 42 on the display of the personal computer 10B so as to reach one of a plurality of target positions. Therefore, the differences between the rhythm game G executed on the personal computer 10B and the rhythm game G executed on the smartphone 10A will be mainly described below.

The input determining unit 34 determines the player's input to Notes N based on the player's input by pressing a key associated with one of the target positions on the keyboard of the personal computer 10B. In the rhythm game G executed on the personal computer 10B, each of the target objects 51a to 51e (touching each of the target objects 51a to 51e) is associated (assigned) to one of the keys (pressing of the key) of the personal computer 10B. The game control unit 30 accepts an input by pressing the assigned key as a touch input to the target object 51 associated with the key (for example, a touch input to a predetermined area or the entire area of the target object 51). In the rhythm game G executed by the personal computer 10B, the input determination section 34 does not determine the operation mode. In the rhythm game G executed on the personal computer 10B, the input determination unit 34 does not determine the operation mode, but converts the received input by pressing the key into a touch input (tapping, flicking, etc.) to the associated target object 51. The processing is the same as the processing of the rhythm game G executed on the smartphone 10A, except that the processing is performed as an input including the input. Therefore, for example, the input determination unit 34 identifies the player input from the input key and timing, and compares the identified player input with notes extraction information (notes extraction information excluding the operation mode) predetermined for each piece of music. By doing so, the player's input to Notes N is determined. In the rhythm game G executed by the personal computer 10B, the input determination unit 34 does not determine the operation mode, so the tap operation and flick operation for one target object 51 are assigned to the same key. In one example, tapping and flicking operations for each target object 51a-51e are assigned to one key each, or assigned to one or two keys each.

The game control unit 30 can display a setting screen for associating the keys of the keyboard with the target object 51 . FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a rhythm game G setting screen 60 displayed on the display of the personal computer 10B by the game control unit 30. As shown in FIG. The setting areas of L2, L1, C, R1, and R2 of tap/flick 1 are areas for setting one key assigned to each of the target objects 51a to 51e for the tap operation and flick operation. L2 represents the tapping and flicking operations on the first target object 51a located on the leftmost side, L1 represents the tapping and flicking operations on the second target object 51b located on the right side of L2, and C is located in the center. R1 represents a tap operation and a flick operation to the third target object 51c located on the right side of C, R2 represents a tap operation and a flick operation to the fourth target object 51d located to the right of C, and R2 represents the fifth target object located on the rightmost 51e represents a tap operation and a flick operation. Tap/flick 2 is the same. In this case, tap/flick 1 and tap/flick 2 can be assigned to 5 keys (total of 10 keys). For example, the default settings may be ASDFG for tap/flick 1 from left to right and ZXCVB for tap/flick 2 from left to right. In this case, the player can operate with both the right and left hands.

The game control unit 30 receives input from the player via the setting screen 60 shown in FIG. 6, for example, to receive keys assigned to tap operations and flick operations on the target objects 51a to 51e. In one example, tap/flick 2 may not be set. In this case, the game control unit 30 receives one key assigned to the tap operation and flick operation on each of the target objects 51a to 51e. In one example, a total of 10 keys assigned by tap/flick 1 and tap/flick 2 can only be set to different keys. In this case, the game control unit 30 accepts the two keys assigned to the tap operation and the flick operation on each of the target objects 51a to 51e only when all ten keys in total are different.

The game score determination unit 35 determines the player's game score based on the determination of the player's input. The game score determining unit 35 stores the player's game score determined by the game score determining unit 35 in the game executed on the smartphone 10A in association with the player ID. On the other hand, the game score determination unit 35 does not store the player's game score determined by the game score determination unit 35 in the game executed on the personal computer 10B in association with the player ID. Therefore, when playing the rhythm game G, the player can record the highest score as his or her own score when playing on the smartphone 10A, while leaving a reference score when playing on the personal computer 10B. Although it can be done, it is not possible to record the highest score etc. as its own score.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a flowchart of processing of the game control unit 30 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The game control unit 30 executes the process of this flowchart at regular intervals, for example, at intervals of 1/30 seconds or 1/60 seconds corresponding to the frame rate of the player terminal 10 .

In step 101, the object display unit 33 causes at least one of the tap notes 41 and the flick notes 42 to move and display on the display of the player terminal 10 so as to reach one of a plurality of target positions. Let

In step 102, if the player terminal 10 is the first type of player terminal (smartphone), the input determination unit 34 determines the player's input to Notes N based on the player's input to the touch panel. When the player terminal 10 is the second type of player terminal (personal computer), the input determination unit 34 responds to player input by pressing a key associated with one of the target positions on the keyboard of the player terminal 10. Based on this, the player input for Notes N is determined.

At step 103, the game score determining unit 35 determines the player's game score based on the determination of the player's input.

At step 104, the flow returns to step 101 unless the music ends and the game ends, or unless the player performs a game end operation.

Next, main functions and effects of the game system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. The game system 1 can execute the rhythm game G on the smartphone 10A and the personal computer 10B, or can provide the rhythm game G to these terminals. In the smartphone 10A, the input determination unit 34 determines the player's touch operation (player input) based on the player's touch operation (position, timing, operation mode) on the touch panel in the same manner as in a known rhythm game. In the personal computer 10B, the input determination unit 34 determines the player's input to the Notes N based on the depression of a key associated with any of the target positions on the keyboard of the personal computer 10B.

Conventionally, rhythm games provided for smartphones that assume input using a touch panel have not been made compatible with platforms that do not have a touch panel. The game system 1 of the present embodiment is a system for solving this conventionally unthinkable problem. By associating with , the rhythm game provided for terminals with touch panels such as smartphones (running on terminals with touch panels) can also be provided for terminals without touch panels such as personal computers (terminals without touch panels execution). As a result, it is possible to provide (execute) a game according to the type of input device of the player terminal.

Further, in the present embodiment, the game score determination unit 35 stores the game score of the player in association with the player ID in the rhythm game G executed on the smartphone 10A, while storing the game score of the player in the rhythm game G executed on the personal computer 10B. It can be configured so that scores are not stored in association with player IDs. By adopting such a configuration, the game system 1 enables the game to be executed on a plurality of types of player terminals 10, while calculating only the game score obtained by playing the game with the difficulty originally required by the rhythm game G. It is possible to memorize. This makes it possible to enhance the interest of the game for various players.

The above effects are the same in other embodiments and modifications unless otherwise specified.

In one or more embodiments of the invention, notes N may include slide notes 43 . A rhythm game G executed on the smartphone 10A in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the game screen 40 of the rhythm game G displayed on the touch panel of the smartphone 10A by the game control unit 30. As shown in FIG. The slide notes 43 include a leading slide note 43a, an intermediate slide note 43b, and a final slide note 43c, and can be called a slide note group.

The top slide note 43a is associated with a tap operation as an operation mode. Therefore, the leading slide note 43a is processed in the same manner as the tap note 41. FIG. Further, the intermediate slide notes 43b are associated with continuous operation as an operation mode. In the present embodiment, a continuous operation is a long press operation that is continuously detected without interruption, and that two consecutive operation detection positions are within a certain range of the touch panel. Therefore, for example, when a touch is maintained at a plurality of different positions on the touch panel at the same time, the continuously detected operation positions exceed a certain range, so these multiple operations are not determined as continuous operations. The final slide note 43c is associated with a continuation end operation as an operation mode. In the present embodiment, the continuation end operation refers to the end of the above continuation operation, that is, the long press operation. Therefore, a continuation end operation is always preceded by a continuation operation, and a continuation operation is always preceded by a tap operation. For example, the input determination unit 34 identifies an operation mode of a player input in which a touch event of "touchstart" has occurred but a touch event of "touchend" has not occurred as a continuous operation. Coordinates can be obtained as the continued manipulation position. For example, the input determination unit 34 identifies the operation mode of the player input when the touch event "touchend" occurs as the end operation (or continuous end operation), and acquires the coordinates of the event occurrence position as the end operation position. can do. Particularly in this case, the input determination unit 34 identifies the operation mode of the player input when the touch event "touchend" occurs after a predetermined time has passed since the touch event "touchstart" occurred as the continuation end operation. , the coordinates of the event occurrence position can be acquired as the continuation end operation position.

The slide notes 43 are composed of a plurality of notes N with different display start timings on the touch panel, arrival timings at target coordinates, and erasure timings from the touch panel. In the slide notes 43, the note N to be displayed first, ie, the leading note N, is the leading slide note 43a, and the note N to be displayed last, ie, the last note N, is the final slide note 43c. When the slide note group SN includes three or more notes N, the note N arranged between the leading slide note 43a and the last slide note 43c is the middle slide note 43b. Thus, the slide notes 43 include at least a leading slide note 43a and a trailing slide note 43c. The top slide note 43a, the middle slide note 43b, and the last slide note 43c all have the same display mode as the tap note 41 (white circular shape). However, the notes N constituting the slide notes 43 are connected by a slide guide 43d. The slide guide 43d is displayed across two notes N that are consecutive in display order, and is displayed moving together with the notes N. As shown in FIG. Therefore, it can be said that the slide guide 43d suggests the slide direction and the optimum movement speed to the player. Further, the slide guide 43d allows the player to identify the tap notes 41, the leading slide notes 43a, the intermediate slide notes 43b, and the last slide notes 43c.

In this embodiment, the object display unit 33 displays at least one note N among the tap notes 41, the flick notes 42, and the slide notes 43 on the touch panel of the smartphone 10A, and displays any one of the plurality of target positions. Move and display to reach the position. The input determination unit 34 also performs the same processing as other Notes N. In one example, in the rhythm game G executed on the smartphone 10A, when the input determination unit 34 identifies that the input operation is a touch continuation operation, the touch continuation position is included in one of the touch determination areas. or not, and the lane is specified based on the result of the determination. After specifying the lane, the input determination unit 34 acquires the number of frames from the start of the rhythm game, and uses the number of frames at the time of input of the operation among the notes information existing in the specified lane included in the notes extraction information as a reference. , extracts one piece of the earliest note information having a reference point within a predetermined frame before and after, and if the extracted note information is the middle slide note 43b, specifies the note information as a judgment object, and determines the note information. The timing of player input is determined based on the reference point and the timing at which the operation is input. In one example, in the rhythm game G executed on the smartphone 10A, when the input determination unit 34 identifies that the input operation is the touch continuation end operation, the touch end position is included in one of the touch determination areas. The lane is specified based on the determination result. After specifying the lane, the input determination unit 34 acquires the number of frames from the start of the rhythm game, and uses the number of frames at the time of input of the operation among the notes information existing in the specified lane included in the notes extraction information as a reference. , extracts one piece of the earliest note information having a reference point in a predetermined frame before and after it, and if the extracted note information is the last slide note 43c, specifies the note information as a judgment object, and determines the note information. The timing of player input is determined based on the reference point and the timing at which the operation is input.

Next, the rhythm game G executed by the personal computer 10B in this embodiment will be explained. The game control unit 30 accepts an input by pressing the assigned key as a touch input to the area of the target object 51 associated with the key, but the input determination unit 34 does not determine slide continuation. Therefore, the input determination unit 34 processes the leading slide notes 43 a and the middle slide notes 43 b in the same manner as the tap notes 41 . The game control unit 30 accepts a player input indicating that a key is released from being pressed down as a touch end to the area of the target object 51 associated with the key. Therefore, with respect to the final slide note 43c, the input determination unit 34 processes the input indicating that the received key is released from the depressed state as the end of the touch in the area of the associated target object 51. The same determination processing as that of the input determination unit 34 in the rhythm game G to be executed is performed. However, since the input determination unit 34 does not determine whether or not to continue the slide, unlike the rhythm game G executed on the smartphone 10A, the player presses the corresponding key and then immediately releases the key to move to the last slide note 43c. can be an input.

In one or a plurality of embodiments of the present invention, the game control unit 30 may preset five tap determination areas, flick determination areas, and slide determination areas without presetting five touch determination areas. can. The input determination unit 34 can make a determination using the corresponding determination area according to the mode of the input operation. For example, each slide determination area can be set wider than each tap determination area.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, game controller 30 can set any number of target coordinates (target objects 51) other than five. Also in this case, each of the notes N is associated with one of the target coordinates, and for example, the object display unit 33 moves and displays the note N moving from top to bottom toward one of the corresponding target coordinates. . As a variant of this embodiment, the game control unit 30 can set only one target coordinate (target object 51). In this case, for example, the game control unit 30 sets only one lane.

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, in the rhythm game G executed on the personal computer 10B, tap operations and flick operations for each of the target objects 51a to 51e may be assigned to two adjacent keys. good. For example, the keys assigned to the first target object 51a to the fifth target object 51e may be AS, DF, GH, JP, L; in order. In one modification, in the rhythm game G executed on the personal computer 10B, tap operations and flick operations on one target object 51 may be assigned to different keys. In this modification, the game control unit 30 assigns A→S (pressing keys in the order of AS) as the flick operation to the flick notes 42 displayed with an arrow pointing to the right of the target object 51a. It may be configured such that S→A (pressing keys in the order of SA) can be assigned as a flick operation to the flick notes 42 on which an arrow pointing to the left is displayed. Alternatively, in the modified example, the game control unit 30 performs, for example, A or S→D or F (A or S, D or F) as a flick operation on the flick notes 42 on which an arrow pointing to the right of the target object 51a is displayed. (for example, pressing the keys in the order of A→D)), and D or F→A or S (D or F, A or It may be configured to be able to assign a key press in the order of S (for example, the order of D→A).

In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the player terminal 10 can execute the rhythm game G on the player terminal 10 having a touch panel and a keyboard. In this embodiment, when receiving a player input, the game control unit 30 can determine whether it is a touch input on the touch panel or an input by pressing a button. Alternatively, the game control unit 30 can receive from the player, via a setting screen or the like, the input method of the rhythm game G, that is, whether the input operation is performed using the touch panel or the input operation is performed by pressing a button. When an input to the touch panel is received, the input determination unit 34 determines a player's input to Notes N based on the player's touch operation on the touch panel in the same manner as in a known rhythm game, and receives an input by pressing a button. , the player's input to the notes N can be determined based on the pressing of a button associated with one of the target positions among the plurality of buttons provided on the player terminal 10 .

In the modified embodiment of the present invention, the input determination unit 34 does not determine the player's input to the notes N based on the elapsed time. The position and timing of the player input are determined based on the hit determination with the . In this embodiment, in the rhythm game G executed by the smartphone 10A, the input determination unit 34 also determines the operation mode specified by the player's input based on the type of the note N targeted for hit determination.

In a variant embodiment of the invention, the rhythm game G can be a standalone game. In this case, the player terminal 10 can be a standalone terminal. The server 20 can be configured to download a game application CA corresponding to the type (platform) of the player terminal 10, for example, via a web page. In this embodiment, the player terminal 10 has a game control section 30 . If the player terminal is the second type of player terminal 10B, the input determination unit 34 determines whether the Notes input is based on the pressing of a button associated with any one of the target positions among the plurality of buttons provided on the player terminal 10B. Determine player input for N.

In the modified embodiment of the present invention, in the rhythm game G executed on the smartphone 10A, the input determination unit 34 determines the notes information including those in which the operation mode of the player and the operation mode associated with the notes information do not correspond. Can be specified as a target. In this case, after specifying any piece of notes information as a determination target, the input determination unit 34 determines whether the operation mode of the notes information and the operation mode of the player's input correspond to each other. The timing of player input can be determined based on the reference point and the timing at which the operation is input. For example, if the operation mode of Notes information is a flick and the input touch operation is a flick operation, the input determination unit 34 can determine that it is the corresponding Notes and then determine the timing. For example, if the operation mode of the notes information is a flick and the input touch operation is a tap operation, the input determination unit 34 determines that the notes do not correspond, and either does not determine the timing or does not determine the timing. Regardless, the player input can be determined to be a failure.

In another embodiment of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium storing a program for realizing the functions of the above-described embodiments of the present invention and the information processing shown in the flow charts and the program can be used. In other embodiments, the functions of the embodiments of the present invention described above and methods for realizing the information processing shown in the flowcharts can also be used. In another embodiment, a server can supply a computer with a program for realizing the functions of the embodiments of the present invention described above and the information processing shown in the flowcharts.

Each embodiment described above is an illustration for explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these examples. The present invention can be embodied in various forms without departing from the gist thereof. For example, the music for the rhythm game G may be composed only of rhythm. For example, the smart phone 10A as the player terminal 10A of the first type is one example, and the player terminal 10A of the first type may be any player terminal having a pointing device (for example, a touch panel) as the input device 13. can be done. For example, the personal computer 10B as the second type player terminal 10B is one example, and the second type player terminal 10B can be any player terminal that does not have a touch panel as the input device 13. For example, the input device 13 provided in the second type player terminal 10B can be any input device provided with a plurality of buttons. For example, the determination process of the input determination unit 34 in the rhythm game G executed by the smart phone A can perform the same process as the determination process in the known rhythm game. In this case as well, in the rhythm game G executed on the personal computer 10B, the input determination unit 34 does not determine the operation mode, and treats the received input by pressing the key as a touch input to the associated target object 51. Except for processing, the same processing as that of the input determination unit 34 in the rhythm game G executed by the smartphone 10A can be performed. For example, the notes extraction information can be any information necessary to determine the player's input, including information on notes N associated with the elapsed time from the start of the rhythm game for each piece of music.
