DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a biological image display control device for displaying a biological image stored in advance, a biological image display control method, and a recording medium storing a biological image display processing program.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional electronic device, in an image display device for displaying a character such as an animal, moving or changing the character image to be displayed is usually performed by a plurality of key input units. It is performed in response to a key input operation.

That is, for example, when a dog is displayed as the character image, a moving display of the dog in each direction can be performed by selectively operating cursor keys indicating up, down, left, and right.

[0004]

However, in the conventional image display device, the character image to be displayed is simply changed or moved in response to a key operation. Since only moving display of a character image or the like is performed in the key operation direction, for example, a displayed character image such as a dog is bred and grown by a user with a realistic sense of care and displayed. Can not be done, it is not interesting.

Therefore, in recent image display devices, care marks such as food and brushes are displayed together with character images of dogs and the like, and food is eaten or brushed by selecting these marks by key operation. Some character images are switched and displayed.

[0006] However, even if a care mark indicating a bait, a brush, or the like is selected and switched to a character image corresponding to the care mark as described above, any kind of care is required as a user operation. However, there is a problem in that it is not possible to breed in a manner similar to actual care, change the character image to a corresponding character image, and display the character image accordingly.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and it is possible to breed and display a biological image of an animal or a plant in the same manner of care as a real animal or the like. It is an object to provide a biological image display control device, a biological image display control method, and a recording medium in which a biological image display processing program is recorded.

[0008]

That is, a biological image display control device according to the present invention comprises a biological image storage means storing a plurality of biological images, and a biological image stored in the biological image storage means. Display means having a display screen to display, operation detecting means for detecting an external operation state of the display screen of the display means, and in a state where the biological image is displayed on the display screen of the display means, According to an external operation state of the display screen detected by the operation detection unit, a biological image different from the displayed biological image is selected from a plurality of biological images stored in the biological image storage unit. Display control means for reading and displaying the data on the display means.

In other words, in the biological image display control device according to the present invention, an external operation state on the display screen of the display means on which the biological image is displayed, that is, a direct contact state with the displayed biological image, for example. Accordingly, a biological image different from the displayed biological image is read out from the plurality of biological images stored in the biological image storage means and is displayed in a replaceable manner. The operation direction or the operation time can be changed to a biological image of a corresponding form based on some instruction for the biological image and displayed.
