Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image control device for sequentially changing the display of an image as the automatic performance progresses.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known an image control device for displaying an image in synchronism with a generated musical sound. The image control device stores chord progression data indicating chord progressions of music pieces, and image data of a still image corresponding to each chord constituting the chord progression data. And
When the automatic performance is started, an accompaniment sound composed of chords based on the chord progression data is generated, and different image data is sequentially read at the timing when the chord of the accompaniment sound changes, and an image based on this image data is displayed on the LCD Etc. are displayed on the display unit. Therefore, the images sequentially change as the automatic performance progresses, and not only auditory stimulus due to the automatic performance but also visual stimulus due to the image displayed on the display unit can be generated.

[0003]

However, in such a conventional image control apparatus, since a predetermined still image is displayed according to the chord of the accompaniment to be automatically played, it is based on the same chord. When the automatic performance is performed, the same image is displayed corresponding to the chord. For this reason,
The visual stimulus due to the displayed image is reduced early, and interest in the image is also lost early. Further, since the form of the image displayed corresponding to each code is always the same and cannot be changed by the user, it is not enough to raise the playfulness of the user.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an image control device capable of suppressing a decrease in visual stimulus of a user and encouraging a sense of play. It is what

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, a plurality of types of individual image data for displaying an individual and a plurality of types of addition for displaying additional elements to be added to the individual are added. Corresponding to storage means for storing element image data, first selecting means for selecting an arbitrary number of individual image data from this storing means, and each individual image data selected by the first selecting means Then, the second selecting means for selecting the additional element image data, the performance information generating means for generating the performance information, and the individual image data and the additional element data selected by the first and second selecting means. It has a display control means for outputting a signal for displaying a base image and operating the displayed image in synchronization with the performance information from the performance information generating means.

[0006]

In the above structure, the first selecting means selects a predetermined number of individual image data, and the second selecting means selects the additional element image data for each individual image data. Then, the display control means outputs a signal for displaying an image based on the individual image data and the additional element data. Therefore, for example, if the individual image data is image data showing the shape of a person and the additional element image data is image data showing the shape of a musical instrument, a signal for displaying the image of the person who owns the musical instrument is output. When performance information is generated from the performance information generating means in this state, the display control means changes the image in synchronization with the performance information.

In this manner, when the cursor 26 is moved to an arbitrary position on the screen 1 by operating the cross key 8 and then the enter button 9 is operated, the process proceeds to PB2 → PB4 → PB5 and the enter button 9 is operated. The position of the cursor 26 at the time point is detected. Succeedingly, it is determined whether or not the object is selected by the detected position of the cursor 26, that is, the cursor 26 is in any one of the song names 1 to n of the song selection box 48 displayed on the screen 7, and the enter button is pressed. It is determined whether 9 has been operated (PB6). When the object is selected, the screen button process 7 is performed (PB7). When the enter button 9 is operated while the cursor 26 is at the "BACK" position, the above-mentioned stage processing is executed (PB8,
PB9), when the decision button 9 is operated in the position of "TOP", the above-mentioned TOP processing (FIG. 10)
Is executed (PB10, PB11).

The screen button processing 7 (PB7) is shown in FIG.
This is executed according to the flow shown in FIG. 8, and the titles 1 to n selected by the position of the cursor 26 and the operation of the decision button 9 are determined (PC1). Subsequently, sequencer setup (PC2) is performed to set the pointer to the start address of the automatic performance data of the selected music title 1. Therefore, the processing of the PC 2 forms a state in which the automatic performance of the selected song can be started. Subsequently, screen button color processing is performed to highlight the music title selected in the music selection box 48 (PC3).

On the other hand, screen button processing 6 (SZ in FIG. 35)
7) is executed according to the flow shown in FIG. 39, and by pressing the enter button 9 described above, "STOP""PAUS"
It is determined which of "E" and "PLAY" has been selected (PD1). As a result of this determination, if "PLAY" is selected, the reproduction process (PD2) is performed. If "PAUSE" is selected, the pause process (PD3) is performed, and "STOP" is selected.
If is selected, stop processing (PD4) is performed.

The reproduction process (PD2) is executed according to a series of flows shown in FIGS. First, it is determined whether or not a start flag STF indicating that the reproduction process is started is set (PE1), and if not set, this is set (PE2). Sequentially, the start address of the automatic performance data which is already selected and stored in the screen button processing 7 (FIG. 38) and which is stored in the memory is set in the address register AD1 in the program work RAM 14 (PE3). Further, the event data and the time data of the automatic performance data are read out based on the head address set in the address register AD1 (PE4).

That is, as described above, the automatic performance data stores the event data indicating the pitch and tone color of the tone to be sounded and the time data indicating the tone length or rest length of the tone in the order of addresses. The event data and time data stored in the PE 4 corresponding to the start address are stored in the program & data ROM 1
It is read from the music memory of No. 5. Next, the sound source 17 is controlled by the read event data (PE5), and the P
By the processing of E5, the speaker 10 generates a musical tone having the pitch and timbre indicated by the event data.

After the time data read by PE4 is set in the timer register t1 (PE6), the counter N is set to "1" (PE7). Then, the head address of the motion pattern based on the data corresponding to the musical instrument memory of the member N is stored in the address register AD2N (PE8).

That is, in this PE8, the member N
And AD2N “N” is a value indicated by the counter N.
In addition, the screen button processing 5 (see FIG.
At SP2 in 5), the selected musical instrument is stored in the musical instrument memory for each member. Furthermore, the motion pattern of the member is determined by the combination of the dance style and the music style shown in (4) and (5) above. Therefore, in this PE 8, the head address of the motion pattern to be operated is stored in AD2N for the member N having the value indicated by the counter N among the plurality of preselected members N.

Next, based on the address value stored in the address register AD2N, the program & data ROM
The motion pattern data is read from 15, and the time data indicating the motion change timing stored corresponding to the motion pattern data is stored in the timer register t2N.
(N is a value indicated by the counter N) (P in FIG. 41)
E9). Further, based on the read motion pattern data, the object data corresponding to the dance style of the member N is read from the program & data ROM 15 and displayed on the graphic LCD 11 (P
E10).

That is, when the microcomputer 13 reads out the object data and transfers it to the LCD controller 16, the LCD controller 16 temporarily stores the object data in the graphics RAM 19 and, based on the object data read from the graphics RAM 19, , Controls the LCD driver 20. Then, the LCD driver 20 drives each dot of the graphic LCD 11 provided in the graphic LCD unit 21 so that an image corresponding to the object data is displayed in the graphic LCD 1.
1 is displayed.

Next, it is judged whether or not the value of the counter N has become "4" which is the number of all members in this example (P
E11) If N = 4 is not satisfied, the counter N is counted up (PE12), and then the loop of PE8 to PE11 is repeated until N = 4. Therefore, by repeating this loop, each member 1, 2,
3 and 4 are displayed in accordance with the object data indicated by the motion pattern at the corresponding positions on the stage in the state where the player holds a preselected musical instrument and wears a costume. In addition, four timer registers t21 and t2
At 2, t23 and t24, time data that determines the operation timing of each corresponding member is stored.

When N = 4, PE11
To PE13, the timer interrupt is released. This timer interrupt is a process (PF1) of incrementing the timer T at a time interval corresponding to the value of the tempo preset by the operation of the tempo switch 5, as shown in FIG. However, in PH4 of the stop process (FIG. 45) described later, interrupts are prohibited. Therefore, when the timer interrupt is released, the timer T starts counting up at a frequency according to the tempo.

Next, it is judged whether or not the value of the timer T has reached the time data stored in the timer register t1 (PE14). If not, P of FIG.
Jump to E19. Then, after resetting the counter N to "1" in this PE19, it is judged whether or not t2N = T has been reached (PE20). At the time when t2N = T is reached, the process proceeds from PE20 to PE21 and the corresponding address The address value of the register AD2N is incremented. Continued
Based on the address value indicated by the stepped address register AD2N, from the program & data ROM 15
The next motion pattern data is read out, and the time data indicating the change timing of the corresponding motion is read out (PE22). Then, this time data is stored in the timer register t2N (PE23).

Subsequently, based on the motion pattern data, the object data corresponding to the dance style of the member N is stored in the program & data ROM 15
Read out and displayed on the graphic LCD 11 (PE24). Then, it is determined whether N = 4 (PE25), and if N ≠ 4, the counter N is incremented and the process from PE20 is repeated. Therefore, by repeating this loop, each member 1, 2, 3, 4 changes to the form indicated by the object data at the timing of the time data indicated by the motion pattern. In addition, four timer registers t21 and t2
At 2, t23 and t24, time data that determines the timing of the next operation for each corresponding member is stored.

When the determination of PE25 is N = 4, the process returns to PE1. At this time, STF =
Since it is in the state of 1, it jumps from PE1 to PE14 and determines whether the value of the timer T has reached the value of the timer register t1 which stores the time data of the automatic performance data. If t1 ≠ T as a result of this determination, the above-described processing of PE19 and thereafter is executed, and when t1 = T, the process proceeds from PE14 to PE15 to increment the address register AD1. Next, the event data and the time data of the automatic performance data are read out based on the address indicated by the value of the advanced address register AD1 (PE16). Subsequently, the sound source 17 is controlled by the read event data (PE17), and the processing of this PE17 causes the speaker 10 to generate a musical tone having the pitch and timbre indicated by the event data.
Further, the time data read by the PE 16 is set in the timer register t1 (PE18), the counter N is reset to "1" (PE19), and then the processing from the PE 20 is executed.

Therefore, according to the reproduction processing flows shown in FIGS. 40 to 43, the automatic performance proceeds at a speed corresponding to the preset tempo, and the members 1 to 4 perform the automatic performance at the timing corresponding to the tempo. Therefore, it changes at each position on the stage according to a predetermined motion pattern.

Then, in the state where the reproducing process is executed in this way, "PAUSE" is selected,
When the pause process (PD3 in FIG. 39) is executed, FIG.
As shown in the flow of 1., the timer T is stopped (PG1), and the stop process for the sound source 17 is executed (PG2). As a result, the above-mentioned reproduction processing flow is temporarily stopped, and the automatic performance and graphic L
The operation of each member on the CD 11 is stopped. Then, when "PLAY" is selected again and the reproduction is resumed, the timer T starts counting up from that point, so that the automatic performance and the graphic LCD 1
The operation of each member on 1 is resumed from the pause point.

When "STOP" is selected and the stop process (PD4 in FIG. 39) is executed in the state where the reproduction process is being executed, as shown in the flow chart of FIG. The address is initialized (PH1). Subsequently, the stop processing for the sound source 17 is executed (PH2), and the start flag ST
F is reset (PH3) and the timer interrupt is prohibited (PH4). As a result, the above-mentioned reproduction processing flow is stopped, and the automatic performance and the display on the graphic LCD 11 are terminated.

In the description of the embodiment, the member N
The case where four members are selected is shown as "4", but the number of members N is determined by the band producing process (Fig. 14).
It is needless to say that the user can arbitrarily set it according to the number of times of processing.
