The protective member 12 is made of a transparent or semi-transparent synthetic resin, glass, or the like, and has a circular front shape and a convex curved surface at the portion located in the opening 11a. A cross-shaped mark 12a is provided at the center of the protective member 12 to indicate the collection position of the target object. That is, the portion existing in the opening 11a of the protective member 12 serves as an image display area, and the image displayed on the image display section 14 (see FIGS. 5 and 6) can be viewed through this portion. The color of the mark 12a is preferably a color that can be distinguished from the image displayed on the image display unit 14 and is different from the color of the same image.

The operation part 13 is provided on the upper part of the apparatus main body 11 so that it can be pushed and rotated. A push operation on the operation unit 13 is used to push the push button switch 15 c of the control unit 15 . Further, the rotation operation on the operation section 13 is used to rotate the rotary switch 15d of the control section 15. FIG.

The image display unit 14 has a circular or rectangular liquid crystal panel and a backlight (both not shown). The liquid crystal panel has at least a transparent electrode and a polarizing filter in addition to the liquid crystal, and the backlight is arranged on the back side of the liquid crystal panel. The pixels of the liquid crystal panel are arranged in a matrix with the X-axis and Y-axis shown in FIG. It may be x100, 50 x 50, or the like. The liquid crystal panel is preferably a reverse display liquid crystal panel based on a dark color such as black. Of course, a non-inverted display liquid crystal panel based on a bright color such as white can also be used as the liquid crystal panel. The backlight consists of a light source such as at least one white or colored light emitting diode.

As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 15 includes a control processing unit 15a, a power switch 15b, a push button switch 15c, a rotary switch 15d, an orientation sensor 15e, a vibration sensor 15f, a speaker 15g, and a memory. and a portion 15h.

The control processing unit 15a has a microcomputer, various drivers including a driver for driving a liquid crystal panel, various interfaces, etc., and stores an operation control program in a ROM. The power switch 15b is provided on the rear surface of the apparatus main body 11, and performs power supply and cutoff from the power supply section 16 to the control processing section 15a. Incidentally, the power supply unit 16 is composed of a dry cell, a rechargeable battery, or the like, and is provided on the rear side of the apparatus main body 11 so as to be removable. The push button switch 15c is pressed based on the pushing operation of the operating portion 13, and the rotary switch 15d is rotated based on the rotating operation of the operating portion 13. As shown in FIG.

The azimuth sensor 15e is of a two-axis type and is for detecting the azimuth of the device main body 11. FIG. The vibration sensor 15f is for detecting vibrations of the device main body 11, specifically, vibrations applied to the device main body 11 when collecting objects, which will be described later. The azimuth sensor 15e and the vibration sensor 15f constitute a motion detection section for detecting motion of the apparatus main body 11. As shown in FIG. That is, the orientation sensor 15e and the vibration sensor 15f can be replaced by sensors capable of detecting physical quantities corresponding to orientation and vibration, such as three-dimensional (three-axis) acceleration sensors.

The speaker 15g is for outputting guide voices, sound effects, and the like. The storage unit 15h stores images displayed on the image display unit 14 (see FIGS. 5 and 6), as well as guide sounds, sound effects, and the like.

Next, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4 and appropriately quoting the symbols shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the operation flow related to the collection of objects of the game device described above, specifically the image display unit 14, will be described. The operation flow will be described in the case of using a reverse display liquid crystal panel based on a dark color such as black as the target object collection target number (MAX in step ST22 in FIG. 4) of 7 objects.

Ideally, objects are collected by the above-described game device in a state in which a player in a standing posture holds the device main body 11 so that the protective member 12 can be seen (FIGS. 1(A) and 7(A)). )). When the object collection is started, first, the search image RI1 shown in FIG. 5A is displayed on the image display unit 14, and the guide voice is output (see steps ST1 and ST2 in FIG. 3). The search image RI1 displayed in step ST1 is an image such that when displayed on the image display unit 14, light-colored wavy lines such as white emerge with small undulations on a dark-colored background such as black. scroll to The guide voice output in step ST2 is "Start searching for the object".

Subsequently, the number of collected objects (including the number stored in step ST21 in FIG. 4) is determined, and a guide voice is output (see steps ST3 to ST5 in FIG. 3). Since the number of collected objects is 0 at the initial stage, the process proceeds to step ST5 without going through step ST4, and the guide voice is output. Further, when the number (n) of objects to be collected is one or more, the process proceeds to step ST4 to output the guide voice, and then to step ST5 to output the guide voice. The guide voice output at step ST4 is "the number of items to be collected is n", and the guide voice output at step ST5 is "start searching" and "press the operation unit for a short time".

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the operation unit 13 is pressed for a short time (see step ST6 in FIG. 3). A short press here is a press for less than one second, for example, and in the case of a short press, the process proceeds to step ST8. If the pressing of the operation unit 13 is not short pressing, the process proceeds to step ST7 to determine the elapsed time. At step ST7, it is determined whether or not 10 seconds have elapsed. If the elapsed time is less than 10 seconds, the process proceeds to step ST6 to wait for a short press. Transition and output the guide voice again.

Subsequently, the search image RI2 shown in FIG. 5B is displayed on the image display unit 14, and after the search image RI2 is displayed for, for example, two seconds, a layout image described later is displayed on the image display unit 14, and a guide voice is played. It is output (see steps ST8 to ST10 in FIG. 3). The guidance voice output in step ST10 is "Please point the main body of the apparatus at the object".

The search image RI2 displayed in step ST8 is an image such that when displayed on the image display unit 14, light-colored wavy lines such as white emerge with large undulations on a dark-colored background such as black. scroll to The reason why the undulations of the bright wavy lines in the search image RI2 are larger than those in the search image RI1 shown in FIG. 5A is to notify the player that the object has been found. The search image RI2 displayed in step ST8 may be used together with the search image RI3 shown in FIG. 5(C). The search image RI3 is an image in which a bright wavy line such as white appears on a dark background such as black when displayed on the image display unit 14, and is preferably scrolled in the horizontal direction. If the search image RI2 is displayed after the search image RI3 is displayed for, for example, two seconds, the player can be notified in an easy-to-understand manner that the object has been found.

The layout image that can be displayed in step ST9 includes:
(1) Placement image MI1 including three target objects TA (see FIG. 6A)
(2) Placement image MI2 including two target objects TA (see FIG. 6B)
(3) Placement image MI3 including one target object TA (see FIG. 6C)
apart from,
(4) A plurality of layout images (not shown) that include three objects TA and the positions of the three objects TA are different from the layout image MI1.
(5) A plurality of layout images (not shown) that include two objects TA and that the positions of the two objects TA are different from the layout image MI2
(6) A plurality of layout images (not shown) each including one target object TA and having a different position from the layout image MI3.
are provided. These arranged images are images such that when displayed on the image display unit 14, a light-colored object such as white appears on a dark-colored background such as black. Also, the layout images MI1, MI2, and MI3 can be regarded as distribution images in which a plurality of objects are distributed within the image display section 14. FIG.

As described above, when the target number of objects to be collected is 7, the number of objects to be collected is 0 to 6 until all 7 are collected. is selected from the above (1) to (6) and displayed. As this selection method, for example, when the number of collections is 0 to 4, one of the arranged images of (1) to (6) is randomly selected, and when the number of collections is 5, randomly selects one of the arranged images of (2), (3), (5) and (6), and if the number of collections is 5, the arrangement of (3) and (6) A method of randomly selecting one of the images can be mentioned. Of course, an arrangement image may be selected from the above (1) to (6) by a selection method other than this.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the orientation of the device body 11 has changed (see step ST11 in FIG. 3). This direction change is determined based on the detection signal of the direction sensor 15e, and if there is no direction change, the process proceeds to step ST12 to determine the elapsed time. In step ST12, it is determined whether or not 10 seconds have elapsed. If the elapsed time is less than 10 seconds, the process proceeds to step ST11 to wait for a direction change.If the elapsed time is 10 seconds or longer, the process proceeds to step ST10. Transition and output the guide voice again. If there is a direction change, the process proceeds to step ST13 and a guide voice is output. The guide voice output in step ST13 is "Please approach the object".

Here, with reference to FIGS. 7(A) and 7(B), the basic operation performed by the player, which is the premise of the direction change determination in step ST11, will be described. Incidentally, the layout image MI1 shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B corresponds to FIG. 6A, and this layout image MI1 includes three objects TAa, TAb and TAc. there is

When the player holds the device main body 11 in the direction shown in FIG. 7A, the player rotates clockwise and the orientation sensor 15e in the device main body 11 senses a change in orientation based on this rotation. When detected, as shown in FIG. 7B, the display orientation of the layout image MI1 (including the three objects TAa, TAb, and TAc) displayed on the image display unit 14 is changed to the counterclockwise direction. change to The change in the display orientation of the layout image MI1 at this time does not necessarily have to be linked to the rotation of the device body 11. For example, the display orientation of the layout image MI1 may be changed by 45 degrees after the device body 11 is rotated 45 degrees. . Alternatively, when the clockwise rotation angle becomes greater than 45 degrees, it may be changed by rotating counterclockwise by 90 degrees.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the device body 11 is approaching the object (see step ST14 in FIG. 4). This approach is determined based on the detection signal of the azimuth sensor 15e and the detection signal of the vibration sensor 15f. If the object is not approaching, the process proceeds to step ST15 to determine whether or not the object is moving away. If so, the process proceeds to step ST16 and a guide voice is output. The guide voice output in step ST16 is "Away from the object". If not separated, the process proceeds to step ST17 to determine whether or not the object has disappeared.If the object has disappeared, the process proceeds to step ST18 to output a guide voice, and the process proceeds to step ST5. do. Here, "disappearing" means that the object (TAa, TAb, TAc) is not displayed on the image display unit 14 by changing the position of the object (TAa, TAb, TAc) from the layout image MI1 displayed on the image display unit 14. It means that If the object disappears, the image displayed on the image display unit 14 is returned to the initial state (the layout image displayed in step ST9) when proceeding to step ST5. The guide voice output at step ST18 is "The object has disappeared." If it has not disappeared, the process proceeds to step ST14 and approach judgment is made again.

Here, with reference to FIGS. 7(A) and 7(C), the basic operations on the player's side, which are the premises for the determination of approach in step ST14, the determination of separation in step ST15, and the determination of disappearance in step ST17, will be described. Incidentally, the layout image MI1 shown in FIGS. 7A and 7C corresponds to FIG. 6A, and this layout image MI1 includes three objects TAa, TAb and TAc. there is

When the player holds the device main body 11 in the orientation shown in FIG. 7A, the vibration at each step when the player moves forward toward the object, or the vibration simulating this forward movement. is detected by the vibration sensor 15f in the apparatus main body 11, the three objects TAa, TAb and TAc position changes in the direction opposite to the forward direction. The positional changes of the three objects TAa, TAb, and TAc at this time need not necessarily be linked to the vibration frequency of the apparatus main body 11. For example, after the vibration frequency reaches a predetermined number (for example, three times), the three objects The positions of the objects TAa, TAb, and TAc may be changed by one step (for example, by one pixel or by two pixels).

At step ST14 (approach determination), approach is determined when any one of the three objects TAa, TAb, and TAc shown in FIG. 7A is approaching the mark 12a. In addition to such a determination method, it is also possible to determine that an object is approaching when the object closest to the mark 12a among the three objects TAa, TAb, and TAc is approaching the mark 12a. In step ST15 (detachment determination), it is determined that the three objects TAa, TAb, and TAc shown in FIG. 7A are detached from the mark 12a. In addition to this determination method, it is also possible to determine separation when the object closest to the mark 12a among the three objects TAa, TAb, and TAc has separated from the mark 12a. . Further, in step 17 (disappearance determination), the three objects TAa, TAb, and TAc shown in FIG. be judged.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the object has reached the mark 12a due to the approach (see step ST19 in FIG. 4). This arrival is determined based on whether or not the object overlaps at least a portion of the mark 12a. This includes both cases that match the XY coordinates of 12a (see FIG. 8). If it has not yet reached step ST14, the approach judgment is made again. Here, in addition to the determination method described above, the determination of the arrival of the object is performed by setting a specific area including the mark 12a as the arrival point of the collection game, and determining whether a part of the set specific area and the object overlapped, that is, when the coordinates corresponding to a part of the set specific area coincide with at least a part of the coordinates corresponding to the object, it can also be determined that the object has reached.

Here, with reference to FIGS. 7A, 8, and 9A to 9C, a specific operation performed by the player, which is a premise for determination of arrival at step T19, will be described. Incidentally, the layout image MI1 shown in FIGS. 7A, 8, 9A to 9C corresponds to FIG. TAa, TAb and TAc. In addition, in FIGS. 9A to 9C, for convenience of explanation, the image display area of the protective member 12 is drawn with a two-dot chain line in the XY coordinate system, and the coordinates of the center of the mark 12a are (x0, y0). is indicated by

When the player holds the device main body 11 in the orientation shown in FIG. 7A, the object TAa (initial coordinates are (x1, y1)) shown in FIG. When the coordinates reach (x0, y0)), the player rotates the apparatus main body 11 clockwise as shown in FIG. change so that it is positioned at Then, as shown in FIG. 9C, the player gives vibration to the device body 11, and based on this vibration, changes the position of the object TAa toward the coordinates (x0, y0). Depending on the coordinate values of the target object TAa, it is conceivable that the target object Aa may not be positioned on the Y-axis after one rotation. The coordinates of the object TAa are changed up to , and then rotated.

For example, consider determination of arrival when the XY coordinate system is drawn with reference to the pixel boundary line and the coordinates of the center of the mark 12a are (0, 0). When the object TAa is composed of four 2×2 pixels and the coordinates of the center are (3, 4), that is, the coordinates (2, 3), (4, 3), (2, 5), When the target object TAa is composed of the pixels in the area within the rectangle connecting (4, 5), the position of the target object TAa is changed by three pixels along the X-axis so as to approach the mark 12a, and , the coordinates (3, 4) of the center of the object TAa match the coordinates (0, 0) of the center of the mark 12a. That is, since the object TAa reaches the mark 12a, it can be determined that the object TAa overlaps the mark 12a by this arrival. In this case, even if the position of the target object TAa is changed by two pixels along the X-axis so as to approach the mark 12a and is changed by three pixels along the Y-axis so as to come closer to the mark 12a, the target object TAa Since the coordinates (2, 3) forming one corner of .sup.2 reach the mark 12a, it may be determined that the object TAa overlaps the mark 12a also by this arrival. Here, the point of arrival is described as being the central coordinates (0, 0) of the mark 12a. 0, 0), coordinates such as (0, 1) or (1, 0) corresponding to the coordinates of the cross may be included as the reaching point, and the desired coordinates may be set as appropriate as the reaching point. is possible. Further, a plurality of coordinates around the mark 12a are set as reaching points, and when the object TAa reaches any one of the plurality of coordinates corresponding to the set area, the object TAa It is also possible to set it so that it is judged that has reached the reaching point.

Subsequently, upon arrival, a guide voice is output, 1 is added to the number of collections based on the overlap of the object with respect to the mark 12a, and the number of collections after the addition is stored (see steps ST20 and ST21 in FIG. 4). reference). The guide voice output in step ST20 is "One object has been collected". That is, it is determined that the object has been collected when the object overlaps the mark 12a.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the collection number has reached the collection target number MAX (7). If the collection target number MAX has been reached, a guide voice is output, and the desired search and collection are completed ( (see steps ST22 and ST23 in FIG. 4). The guide voice output in step ST23 is "The number of collections has reached the target number of collections." If the number of collections has not reached the target number of collections MAX, the process proceeds to step ST24, where a guide voice is output. The guidance voice output at step ST24 is "Press and hold the operation unit to end the search and collection" and "Press and hold the operation unit for a short time to continue the search and collection".

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the operation unit 13 is pressed for a long time (see step ST25 in FIG. 4). A long press here is a press for 3 seconds or longer, for example, and in the case of a long press, the desired search and collection are completed. If the pressing of the operating portion 13 is not long pressing, the process proceeds to step ST26 to determine whether or not the pressing of the operating portion 13 is short pressing. A short press here is a press for less than one second, for example, and in the case of a short press, the process proceeds to step ST8. If the pressing of the operation unit 13 is neither a long press nor a short press, the process proceeds to step ST27 to determine the elapsed time. In step ST27, it is determined whether or not 10 seconds have elapsed. If the elapsed time is less than 10 seconds, the process proceeds to step ST25 to wait for a long or short press. The process proceeds to step ST24 to output the guide voice again.

Although not shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the layout images (MI1 to MI3, etc.) displayed on the image display unit 14 can be displayed by rotating the operation unit 13 and rotating the rotary switch 15d. , the display magnification can be changed. FIG. 10 shows an example in which the display magnification of the layout image MI1 shown in FIG. 6A is increased to 3 times with the mark 12a as the center during the above-described collection. For example, if the display magnification can be enlarged by rotating the operation unit 13 counterclockwise, and the display magnification can be restored to 1 by rotating the operation unit 13 clockwise, search and collection can be performed. The player can arbitrarily change the display magnification during the process. In this case, it is preferable that the amount of change in the vibration of the object is different when the display magnification is increased and when the display magnification is restored. When the display magnification is 3 times, the object is changed by one step (for example, by one pixel or by two pixels) with one vibration. For example, the change in the position of the object with respect to vibration can be made to correspond to the display magnification.

Although not shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the timing of displaying the search images (RI1 to RI3), the timing of displaying the layout images (MI1 to MI3, etc.), the timing of outputting each guide voice, etc. Sound effects are output at appropriate timings. That is, it is possible to make the player feel the enjoyment of searching and collecting more deeply by the appropriately output sound effects.

Next, effects obtained by the game device described above will be described.

(E1) Since the player can experience the series of actions up to collecting the object while viewing the display image of the game device, it is possible to make the player feel the enjoyment and fun of collecting, and the achievement when the object is collected. It can also make you feel.

(E2) Show positions corresponding to collection positions of objects (TA, TAa, TAb, TAc, etc.) on the protective member 12 that can visually recognize the layout images (MI1 to MI3, etc.) displayed on the image display unit 14 Since the mark 12a is provided, even if the arrangement image displayed on the image display unit 14 is an image in which a light-colored object such as white appears on a dark-colored background such as black, the position of the mark 12a can be confirmed. and the operation of superimposing an object on the mark 12a can be performed visually without hindrance. In addition, since the image displayed on the image display unit 14 (displayed by light emission) and the mark 12a (displayed by printing) on the protective member 12 have different display forms, it is possible to recognize the overlapping of the target object and the mark 12a. becomes easier.

(E3) By changing the position of the target object (TA, TAa, TAb, TAc, etc.) in the layout image (MI1 to MI3, etc.) displayed on the image display unit 14, the target object is the mark 12a of the protective member 12. Since this object can be collected when it overlaps with , there is no need to perform another operation to collect the object, and collection mistakes due to incorrectly performing another operation can be avoided.

(E4) Use a liquid crystal panel with a small total number of pixels as the liquid crystal panel of the image display unit 14, and use low pixel density search images (RI1 to RI3) and layout images (MI1 to MI3, etc.) corresponding to this liquid crystal panel. However, since a series of actions up to collecting objects (TA, TAa, TAb, TAc, etc.) can be experienced while looking at the display image of the game device, the image display section 14 and the control section 15 can be manufactured at low cost. , the power consumption of the liquid crystal panel can be kept low.

Next, a modified example of the game device described above will be described.

(M1) Although the game device in which the protective member 12 is provided with the cross-shaped mark 12a is shown, the shape of the mark 12a may be other than the cross-shaped, such as circular or rectangular.

The front shape of the device main body (11) may be other than circular, such as rectangular or elliptical. In addition, the front shape of the opening (11a) may be other than circular, such as rectangular or elliptical. Other than the circular shape, for example, it may be rectangular or elliptical. Further, the protective member (12) may be flattened at the opening (11a) by removing the convex curved bulge.

(M3) The protective member 12 is a game device made of transparent or translucent synthetic resin or glass attached to the opening 11a. It is not limited to this, and may be a sheet-like member (sheet body) attached to the image display section 14 . A mark 12a indicating the collection position of the object is provided at the center of the sheet-like member. For example, a lattice design may be applied.

(M4) The operation flow using the search images (RI1 to RI3) described with reference to FIG. 5 and the layout images (MI1 to MI3, etc.) described with reference to FIG. Images may be increased or decreased as appropriate. A search image other than the search image described with reference to FIG. 5, for example, a search image in which a straight line rotates around the mark 12a while leaving an afterimage may be used.
