2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional game machine, a game is developed after initial settings are made by using a plurality of direction keys or moving levers and a plurality of push buttons. For example, a soccer game may have a computer or a friend as an opponent, or teams may play against each other. The game of the battle operation is developed by moving a plurality of directional keys or pushing a plurality of push buttons. Then, the direction keys move the character or move the character while dribbling. The first push button is pass, sliding, throwing, etc. The second push button is shoot, charge,
The third push button, such as a long pass, performs a long pass, charge, etc., and the fourth push button, a pass to a nearby character, a throwing, etc.

The role of the directional key can be changed depending on the attacking side and the defending side. For example, the direction key on the defending side is
Move a character close to the ball. The first push button moves the sliding tackle, the second push button moves the shoulder charge, and the third push button moves the goalkeeper together with the direction keys. When the ball is in the air, the first push button performs a volley kick, the second push button performs a jumping head, and the third push button performs a running head. Soccer games are started by pressing the start button. For example, the display screen becomes “Select mode”, and “Exhibit
edition "," World Cup "," Human "
Cup ”,“ All Star ”,“ Option ”
"s" is displayed. Then, the player who plays the game selects one desired match format from the display screen.

The display screen after selecting the match format is "S
"Select Player mode" and "Pl
"Ayer VS Computer", "Player
VS Player "," Computer VS "
"Computer" is displayed. Then, the player selects one desired opponent from the display screen. The next display screen is "Select Matchin
g ”and, for example,“ Player VS Com
In the case of "putter", the player's favorite country or the country of the opponent computer is selected. After that, the display screen is in the environment setting mode, and the conditions, rules, uniforms, etc. of the match venue can be changed. After such settings are made, the game starts and fights while moving the character and the ball based on the direction keys and the plurality of push buttons.

Baseball games, like soccer games,
The game is played with a directional key and multiple push buttons against a computer or a friend. For example, the directional key under attack can move the batter left and right in the batter's box, or can run to the first base or steal to the right, up, left, or bottom. The first push button can hit the ball by pressing it in time with the pitch. The second push button, when pressed together with the direction key, makes a base or steal to a desired base. If you press the third push button in time with the pitch, it becomes a bunt, and if you press it at any other time, it becomes a time.

During defense, the direction key can determine the pitch quality of the pitch, and the course can also be determined by tilting left and right. For example, depending on the moving direction of the directional key, the pitch quality includes shoot, change up, curve, slider, fork and sinker. Also, the first push button throws, the second push button performs a check ball, and the third push button performs time. The direction keys specify the movement of the fielder and the base to be thrown by the fielder. Also, the first push button is
The player can throw a ball and the second push button can move to a base. The baseball game is started by pressing the start button. At the start of the game, for example, a team can be selected or a character, in particular a pitcher, can be selected. In the baseball game, after the initial setting is completed, the offense and defense are battled according to the baseball rules based on the direction keys and the plurality of push buttons of the above rules.

[0008]

However, in the conventional soccer game, dribbling, short pass, long pass, centering and shooting correspond to the situation by a predetermined algorithm. Therefore, if the game becomes complicated, a pattern that cannot be dealt with by a predetermined algorithm will occur. For such patterns, balls and characters are
It appears on the display device as strange or unnatural movement.
In a conventional baseball game, the pitcher's speed and the way he bends are the same depending on the quality of the ball. On the attacking side, even if the player pushes the first push button with respect to the pitch in good time, he / she cannot do what is not in the predetermined program. In addition, a player who plays a conventional game cannot learn to improve a character's ability even if the operation of moving a directional key or pushing a push button is improved.

The above-mentioned conventional soccer game or baseball game is played only by the operation technique of the direction keys and the plurality of push buttons and the program software. The ability of a player playing a game to play soccer or baseball, or the ability of a character appearing in the game is usually determined by operating the direction keys and push buttons of the player playing the game. As for the ability of a character to participate in the game, in the case of baseball, a program that considers the batting average and the pitcher's quality can be set up. However, no matter how complicated the program is, these games do not exert any ability other than a predetermined motion when the program is created.

[0010] The present invention provides a game machine having a learning / judgment function which allows a player playing a game and a character appearing in the game to learn the ability of the character in the game. With the goal. The present invention provides a learning / judgment function that, when a new input is given, estimates output information corresponding to new input information that has not been input, and executes a game, based on output information that is a reaction result corresponding to the input information. An object is to provide a game machine having the same. It is an object of the present invention to provide a spectator type game machine in which the game progresses only based on the learning result.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart for operating the game machine which is an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for operating the game machine according to one embodiment of the present invention, which is connected in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b). This embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 3, and 4. Prior to starting the game, a player who plays the game (hereinafter, simply referred to as a player) selects the game, and the game initial setting mode 1 is displayed on the output means 13 (step 311). The player looks at the display screen of the output means 13 and selects either the watching mode or the actual fighting mode (step 312). Control means 1
If the player judges that the player has selected the watching mode, the player 4 displays the initial setting mode 2 on the output means 13 (step 313). The player uses the output means 13 described above.
See the display screen of and select the battle format (step 31
4).

When the control means 14 determines that the player has selected the battle format, the control means 14 causes the output means 13 to display the initial setting mode 3 (step 315). The player is
Looking at the display screen of the output means 13, the opponent team is selected (step 316). When the control means 14 determines that the player has selected a predetermined battle between teams, the control means 14 causes the output means 13 to display the initial setting mode 4 (step 317). The player is the output means 1
Looking at the display screen of No. 3, each player (character) of the competitive team is selected (step 318). The control means 14

When the control means 14 determines that there is an instruction to let the character or the player learn, the control means 14 causes the output means 13 to display the initial setting mode 5 (step 320). From the initial setting mode 5,
The learning mode, which is a feature of the present invention, is entered. Step 31
In 2, when the player selects the actual battle mode, the initial setting mode is displayed on the display screen although not shown. The initial setting mode of the watching mode and the initial setting mode of the actual fighting mode are substantially the same, and the difference is that the opponent is different. For example, in the actual battle mode, a player who always plays the game enters, whereas in the watching mode, by learning the characters of the opposing teams, or by learning the characters of the opposing team and the players who participate in the game, It's about watching games between teams or between teams and players.

In step 319, the player
When "do not give learning to character or player" is selected, the game is developed with the ability of the player (character) determined in advance (step 322). This will be a conventional game. The control means 14 checks whether or not the speed and type of the ball are set as input information (step 32).
3). The input information may not be set but may be sequentially transmitted by a predetermined program.
The input information set by the player is set in the input information sending means 15 by a keyboard (not shown) or the display of the output means 13 and direction keys and push buttons (step 324). The player is
The input information sent from the input information sending means 15 is learned by the reaction such as the movement of the directional key or the timing of pushing the push button.

The control means 14 checks whether or not there is a result of the player reacting to the input information such as the ball sent from the input information sending means 15 (step 32).
5). In this embodiment, the reaction to the input information of the player is simply referred to as learning. Therefore, the learning in the present embodiment has a slightly different meaning from the learning described in the claims and the like. When the control means 14 determines that the learning is completed, the control means 14 checks whether or not the calculation based on the output information and the input information obtained as a result of the learning has been performed (step 326). When the control unit 14 determines that the calculation based on the output information and the input information is completed, the control unit 14 stores the calculation result in the storage unit (step 32).
7). The control means 14 checks whether or not there is next input information for learning (step 328). Control means 1
If No. 4 determines that there is next input information for learning, the process returns to step 323, and the same processing as above is repeated as long as there is input information.

When the control means 14 determines that there is no next input information for learning, it terminates the learning mode (step 329). When the game starts, new information is input (step 331) depending on the moving direction of the direction keys or the timing of pressing a plurality of push buttons (step 330). In the case of a spectator game, new input information is sent from the new input information sending means 20 according to a predetermined program. The calculation result and the new input information stored in the storage means are the second calculation processing device 2
1 is calculated (step 332). The result calculated by the second arithmetic processing unit 21 becomes the output information estimated for the new input information (step 33).
3).

The output information is based on a program predetermined according to the progress of the game, and the information based on the learned result is used as new input information, and is calculated each time it is input. Used (step 334). The game using the output information based on such a calculation result ends (step 33).
5). When the game ends, the control unit 14 causes the output unit 13 to display a message as to whether or not to save the calculation result. The control means 14 checks whether or not the player has selected to save the calculation result (step 336). When the player selects to save the calculation result, the control means 14 stores the calculation result for the new input information in, for example, a memory card or a floppy disk (step 337). When the control unit 14 determines that the player has selected not to save the calculation result, the control unit 14 deletes the calculation result for the new input information (step 338). Note that the above flowchart is merely an example, and the order of setting and the like can be arbitrarily changed.

Next, this embodiment will be specifically described by taking a soccer game as an example. FIG. 5 is a view for explaining the initial setting mode 1 to the initial setting mode 5 in the soccer game which is one embodiment of the present invention. Each initial setting mode is displayed on the display screen one by one. Note that FIG. 5 does not show the screen displayed on the output means 13, but is for explaining an example of the initial setting mode. In order to simplify the explanation, it is assumed that the soccer game is developed from the directional keys that can be moved in four directions and the timing of pressing the three push buttons, for example. In FIG. 5, the player moves the arrow keys up and down on the display screen of the initial setting mode 1 to move the cursor (see FIG.
For example, the watching mode is selected by pressing the first push button at the stopped position (surrounded by a line). When the player selects the watching mode, the display screen becomes the initial setting mode 2. Initial setting mode 2
Is a mode for determining the battle format. The player selects whether or not to give the learning effect, for example, by selecting a battle between teams and then moving the directional key laterally or downwardly.

In the initial setting mode 2, the player
When a battle between teams is selected, the initial setting mode 3 is displayed on the display screen. The player selects the opposing team by moving the arrow keys up and down. On the display screen of the initial setting mode 3, Kawasaki Vueldies vs. Jeff Ichihara is selected. After the opponent team is selected, the player moves the direction keys up and down in the initial setting mode 4 to determine the character of each opponent team. When the player selects a Ramos player, for example, the initial setting mode 5, that is, the learning mode is set. In the case of a soccer game, the input information based on the reaction of the player includes, for example, a running speed of a character, a jogging speed, a vertical jump, a flying speed of a soccer ball, a rolling speed of a soccer ball, and the like. In particular, the maximum running speed can vary depending on the character. Further, each of the above-mentioned input information can be set variously in addition to the information described in FIG.

FIG. 6 is a view for explaining the learning mode in the soccer game which is one embodiment of the present invention, in which the roles of the direction keys and the three push buttons are displayed on the display screen. Similar to FIG. 5, FIG. 6 does not show the screen displayed on the output means 13, but is for explaining learning. It is assumed that Ramos is selected in the selection of player names. The running speed of Ramos can be changed in multiple ways by changing the moving speed of the direction keys. For example, the long pass at that time is the running speed of Ramos player (moving speed of the direction key), the preset flying speed of the soccer ball. , And the timing of pressing the third push button determine the distance and direction of the flight. That is, the movement of the direction key, the preset flying speed of the soccer ball, and the like are input information, and the flying distance and direction of the soccer ball obtained by reacting to the input information are output information. The same is repeated by changing the running speed of the Ramos player, and a plurality of output information is stored in the output information sending means 17.

In the soccer game, when operating the Ramos player, the player's operation of the direction key and the third push button is the same as the above-mentioned Ramos player's operation of the direction key, the speed of the soccer ball, and the third push button. If it is the pressing timing of, the distance and direction of the soccer ball will be the same. However, when the operation speed of the player's directional keys and the like are not stored in the input information transmitting means 15, the new input information is calculated by the arithmetic processing unit based on the plurality of learned results, and a new soccer You can guess the distance and direction of the ball. Similarly, regarding the heading distance and direction, the heading distance and its direction are learned by the timing of pressing the second push button after moving the Ramos player to the position of the flying soccer ball with the direction key. Then, even if the moving speed by the direction key that has not been input and the timing of pressing the second push button are input, the arithmetic processing unit performs an operation based on the plurality of learned results, and a new You can infer the hedig distance and its direction.

The dribble speed and goalkeeper can also be learned in the same manner as described above.
