Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a training simulation game machine and a training game system using the same. Specifically, a training game for growing a virtual character or a training game for simulating love with a virtual character by a key input operation or the like of a game player, a video of the virtual character raised in the training game, The present invention relates to a training game system that obtains composite images with images, and displays and prints them.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventionally known upbringing simulation game machine is one in which a game player breeds virtual characters based on a predetermined upbringing simulation program. It is configured to be about the size of a business card so that it can be used.

[0003] Such a portable breeding simulation game machine has a memory for storing a breeding simulation game program, and control means for advancing the game according to the breeding simulation game program.
With the training simulation game program, the game player requests childcare and breeding such as "meal" and "play", and based on these requests, the game player instructs by key input means to select the type of meal. When given or played, from the video data of a plurality of characters stored in the memory in advance as if the virtual character grew in response to the virtual character, the character of the character corresponding to the above-described breeding simulation result of key input or the like was obtained. Video data is determined by the control means,
The determined video data is displayed on a display.

[0004] Since the virtual character bred as described above is bred by an instruction such as a key input of the game player itself, it can be bred as a so-called virtual pet having attachment. Such virtual pets can be kept in a portable breeding simulation game machine, so there is no risk of disturbing nearby people like dogs and cats, and there is no need for space to keep them The effect is that anyone can easily have a pet. Especially in large cities, it is very difficult to keep pets in recent years, and the demand for such virtual pets is expected to increase in the future in situations where the problem of discarded cats / dogs is regarded as a problem.

[0005] Further, some game software for home-use game machines are for raising girls and children.

[0006]

By the way, what is known to raise a virtual pet (character) as described above is to grow only in a simple device such as a portable raising simulation game machine. So
There is a limit in the capacity and display ability to store character information such as video information of a character that can be raised by the portable raising simulation game machine.For example, an image of a character displayed on a display is a black-and-white rough cat with a rough dot. It was very simple compared to dogs. In order to satisfy the demand as a pet that replaces real dogs / cats, it is necessary to express images and reactions that are close to real-world images and reactions that can give the same attachment as real pets as virtual characters. It is difficult to achieve this with a home or home game machine due to problems such as cost and size of the game machine.

For example, when raising their own children, a commemorative photo may be taken at a ceremony such as a birthday, a Shichigosan or a marriage, and such a commemorative photo is taken by one training simulation game machine. Things did not exist before. The reason that such a ceremony was not prepared is that even if such a ceremony was prepared so that it could be performed by one training simulation game machine, if the ceremony became outdated, There is a possibility that the game itself may become useless. In addition, in such ceremonies, it is common for parents to take pictures with their own children and leave them in commemoration, rather than taking a commemorative photo with the child raised alone as described above,
There is no conventional breeding simulation game machine that allows a game player to take a picture with a bred character. Further, conventionally, the game was raised in a virtual society (in other words, a closed society such as at home) only in the own simulation game machine. Moved to a simulation game machine (transplant)
In other words, as a child, you can have other game players breed additional breeders, marry breeding characters raised by other people, and interact with other gamers raised by other people and interact with other game players. Is more real-world.

[0008] In addition, some game software for home-use game machines are for raising girls and children. However, since they are not portable, the game (training) is required only when it is desired to take the initiative of the game player.
And did not give the game players the passive hardship of raising them all the time. Passive struggles are the so-called caring struggles of dogs and cats requesting meals at random times, soothing or scolding them. Further, like the above-mentioned portable game machine, such a home game machine is bred in a closed virtual society within the game machine itself, so that the society in which actual pets and children are bred is narrow. There are also problems such as lack of realism and lack of interest.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a breeding simulation game machine for breeding virtual characters, in which a virtual game closer to a more realistic society having interaction and communication with other game players and other virtual social facilities. An object of the present invention is to provide a breeding game system capable of breeding in a society, and to provide a breeding simulation game machine capable of printing a commemorative photograph of a breeding character or a memorial photograph obtained by combining a game player and a breeding character.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIGS. 1 and 2 are functional block diagrams showing an embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a first breeding simulation game machine, and 10 is a second breeding simulation game machine.

(First Training Simulation Game Machine)
The first training simulation game machine 1 shown in FIG.
First display means 6 for displaying the image of the raised character
And a first transfer means 5 for transferring the first breeding history information of the bred character to another game machine or another breeding simulation game machine, and a first breeding means 3. The first breeding means 3 includes a first breeding simulation game program 2 in which game progress is determined in advance.
A first storage unit 4 for storing first history data of a raised character, a first character determination unit 8,
A third storage unit 7 stores information on a plurality of types of character video data that can be raised, and an operation unit 3A for inputting an operation of a game player. And the first
The storage means 3B and the operation means 3A of the breeding means 3 and the first display means 6 and the first transfer means 5 are controlled by a control unit 3C such as a CPU of the first breeding means 3. ing. The storage unit 3B includes a first breeding simulation game program 2, a first storage unit 4, a first character determination unit 8, and a third storage unit 7.

The first raising means 3 further includes a counter (not shown) for counting the game play time or the number of plays. The game player operates the operation means 3A in accordance with the progress of the game proceeding along the first training simulation game program 2, and the first operation is performed by operating the operation means 3A and playing time or the number of times of playing. The breeding means 3 breeds the character. Such breeding data is stored in the first storage means 4 in a predetermined format as breeding history data. The breeding history data in the first storage means 4 is successively updated and stored according to the operation of the operation means 3A of the game player, the game play time, the number of plays, or the like. “Growing a character by operating means” means, for example, when the first breeding simulation game program 2 requests a meal / play from the character side or when the game player voluntarily feeds / plays, the timing of feeding the meal. Depending on the type and amount of food and the type of meal, the character characteristics may be in accordance with the operation of the game player, such as a change from a lean body to a fat body or a lack of exercise if the player does not play too much, resulting in illness due to lack of exercise. Details will be described later.

As means for cultivating a virtual character, a vibration detecting sensor 3F for detecting vibration such as walking of a human body is provided in addition to the operating means 3A. By providing the vibration detection sensor 3F, the training simulation game machine as the portable game is configured to have functions and effects similar to those of the conventional pedometer. With a conventional pedometer, the pedometer is attached to the user's waist, etc., the number of steps walked, calorie consumption, etc. are counted, and the cumulative number of steps and calorie consumption are displayed on a display screen to provide a user's health. It is said that the number of walking steps per day is preferably 10,000 steps. Also,
Recently, due to lack of exercise by children, pedometers have been distributed to each child at nursery schools and kindergartens, and health management such as checking the number of daily walks has been carried out. Even if the pedometer is distributed to a user who does not intend to do so, a person who does not care about health care cannot fulfill the role of a pedometer if he does not intend to walk on his own. However, by arranging exercise such as walking on its own in the breeding of the virtual character as in this embodiment, it is possible to exercise independently by health management to cultivate an ideal character. This will give you the possibility to spur your intention to do so.

Such a function is arranged in advance in a training simulation game program so that the more a person walks while holding the portable game machine, the more he / she grows into a healthy character or a slim and cute character. By configuring in this way,
The user will exercise not only for himself / herself but also for raising the character better, which is useful as a health device. In the breeding game described above, if the user kills a character that was bred in the middle of the game, the game may affect the user so that the user may cry. This will help to address the lack of exercise among children, which is becoming a social problem.

The above-mentioned vibration detecting sensor 3F is not an essential component, and it is needless to say that the vibration detecting sensor 3F can be configured to be able to grow by operating only the operating means 3A. As the vibration detection sensor 3F, a known sensor such as a pedometer can be used. As such a sensor, any sensor can be used as long as it is a pedometer walking sensor. When the weight is large, the weight portion touches the sensor side wall, and when the touch is performed, electrical switching is performed, and it may be possible to count that there is walking when switching is performed.

Reference numeral 3G denotes a switch circuit for switching whether a virtual character is to be grown by an input signal of the operation means 3A or the vibration detection sensor,
This switch circuit is configured to be switchable by a user. Further, in raising a virtual character, feeding can be performed only by the operation means 3A, and the movement of the character can be configured to depend only on the detection result of the vibration detection sensor 3F.

Further, if a hook portion 1C for hooking on a belt or the like is provided as shown by a dashed line in FIG. 6, the user can hook the portable game machine 1 on his waist and go out when going out. .

The first breeding simulation game machine 1 is provided with first display means 6 capable of displaying the image of the breeding character as described above. The image displayed on the first display means 6 is prepared in advance in a memory as the third storage means 7, and the first character determination means 8 stores the image stored in the first storage means 4. Based on the first breeding history data, video data corresponding to the first breeding history data is generated from a plurality of types of character videos prepared in the memory 7 in advance, and the first display means 6 is generated based on the video data. The image of the character bred is displayed.

The growth history data may be coded as an address code of the corresponding video data and stored in the memory 7. If the video corresponding to the character bred by the first breeding unit 3 is stored as an address code in this way, the breeding history data should be stored as compared to storing the raw breeding history data in the first storage unit 4 as it is. The data amount can be reduced. However, the first breeding history data is stored as first history data of all operation histories performed by the game player by the operation means 3A and raw (raw) history of the time / play times. When displaying the image of the character on the display means 6, based on the first breeding history data, the first character determination means 8 determines the nose, face, body shape, hairstyle, and the like that match the character by calculation, and By combining and displaying the data necessary for the character expression corresponding to the above, it is possible to give a fine change that can follow a slight change in the breeding history data of other types.

More specifically, in the second breeding simulation game machine 10 shown in FIG. 2, each part constituting the character, such as the nose and face of the character or the body shape and hairstyle, is stored in the fourth storage means 17 separately. In advance, the second character determination unit 18 generates the corresponding parts from the first or second breeding history data, combines the generated parts by the image combining unit 20A, and combines the combined image with the first
Is configured to be displayed on the display means 16.

Here, when the first breeding simulation game machine is to be carried, it is considered unpreferable to provide the first character determination means 8 with the calculation processing function up to this point in terms of price. Can be

As the first display means 6, a liquid crystal or C
Any device that can display an image, such as an RT or plasma display, or an LED display, can be applied. However, when the first breeding simulation game machine 1 is used as a portable device, a liquid crystal display that can be easily made compact is used. It is preferable to use display means. Further, when using an inexpensive memory having a small memory capacity as the storage means 3B such as the third storage means 7, a compact and inexpensive portable breeding simulation game machine should be used if it is a TN liquid crystal monochrome display. Can be.

The image of the raised character that can be displayed on the raising simulation game machine 1 in this manner is simplified, and a second raising simulation game machine 1 described later is used.
By providing an extreme difference between the image of the character to be displayed / printed at 0 and full color and high resolution, the game player is more impressed to see the character bred by the second breeding simulation game machine 10. It is possible to improve the performance.

(Growth by the breeding simulation game machine alone) The virtual character determined by the first character determination means 8 corresponding to the first breeding history data stored in the first storage means 4 described above. The video is assigned video data A to X as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, A to X are configured such that video data is assigned as the first breeding history data. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to assign hierarchical fighting data as the first breeding history data. The fighting data raises the fighting data from A or B to C or D in accordance with the training time of the fighter (including the number of plays) and the level of the fighting data of the other fighters that have been defeated. What should I do? The first breeding history data of the fighter trained in this way is transferred to another fighting game machine, and the fighter raised by himself is transferred to another fighter or another game player stored in the fighting game machine in advance. You can also play against the fighters you have fostered.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the breeding process using the video data as the breeding history data as described above. An example of the breeding process will be described with reference to FIGS. The game player selects one of the two eggs A and B displayed on the second display means 6 by operating the operation means 3A, and the game player selects one of the two eggs (first step). The counting of the play time is started by the counter using a timer (not shown) as a reference, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the selected egg A changes to the character C (second step). Whether the egg A changes to the character C or the character D is automatically determined by using a random number when the egg A or B is selected (for example, male or female),
Alternatively, it can be determined by the operation of the operation means 3A of the game player until the character C is changed. Next, when changing from character C to E,
"I want food" and "play" that character C requests
In response to the request, it is determined whether the game player changes the state from C to E, F, or K by operating the operation means 3A (third step).

Even if the operation of the operation means 3A is exactly the same, the operation can be performed using a random number so that the change is different if the operation timing is different. Further, in order to change the character from E to K, the character is changed by operating the operating means 3A in the same manner as in the above-described third step (fourth step). Hereinafter, the character is bred by taking steps similar to the third step and the fourth step.

(Second Training Simulation Game Machine)
The second breeding simulation game machine 10 roughly includes the configuration of the breeding simulation game machine 1,
The camera 20, the second display means 16, and the printer 21 are additionally provided. The second display means 16 comprises:
The video data of the character corresponding to the first breeding history data transferred from the breeding simulation game machine 1 to the second breeding simulation game machine 10 via the transfer means 5 is displayed as it is, or the video data The image of the subject photographed at 20
The image synthesized by A is displayed. Also, the printer 21
Prints the image displayed on the second display means 16 as it is, or prints the image by further increasing the resolution.

In addition, the correspondence of the same configuration between the breeding simulation game machine 1 and the second breeding simulation game machine 10 is clearly described. The second breeding simulation game program 12 corresponds to the program 2, the first breeding means 3 is the second breeding means 13, the first storage means 4 is the second storage means 14, and the first data transfer means 5 is The second data transfer means 15, the first display means 6 is the second display means 16, the third storage means 7 is the fourth storage means 17, the first character determination means 8
Is the second character determination means 18 and the first operation means 3A

FIG. 3 is a front view showing the appearance of the second raising simulation game machine 10. As shown in FIG. FIG.
FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the second training simulation game machine 10, and the components having the same reference numerals shown in the functional block diagram of FIG. 1 have the same configuration as the corresponding configuration.

The second breeding simulation game machine 10 is capable of breeding a character alone similarly to the breeding simulation game machine 1. The role of each component in the breeding simulation alone is as described above. The corresponding components of the game machine 1 and the second training simulation game machine 10 play their role.

(Growing of Characters Using Plural Raising Simulation Game Machines of First Raising Simulation Game Machine and Second Raising Simulation Game Machine)
With reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7, character breeding using both the first breeding simulation game machine and the second breeding simulation game machine will be described below. explain.

The second breeding simulation game machine 10 as the second breeding simulation game machine described in this embodiment is a business game machine installed in a game arcade.

First, when the game player inserts a predetermined amount of coins required for game play into the coin insertion slot 22 shown in FIG. 3, an image as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the first display means 16. Based on this display instruction, the first transfer means 5 and the second transfer means 15 (15A) of the first training simulation game machine 1 are connected by a wire cord. After the connection, the "read data" of FIG.
Is selected, the first breeding history data in the first storage means 4 is transferred from the first transfer means 5 to the second breeding simulation game machine 10 through the second transfer means 15. The transferred first breeding history data is temporarily stored in the second
Is stored in the storage means 14.

Based on the first breeding history data stored in the second storage means 14, a breeding game according to the second breeding simulation game program 12 is started by the second breeding means 13. When the training game is started, additional training of characters is performed by operating the second training simulation game program 12 and the operating means 13A of the game player. The second breeding history data of the additionally bred character is stored in the second storage unit 14.
Is stored sequentially.

Then, the second storage means 1 additionally cultivated
The second breeding history data of the character stored in No. 4 is
Through the second transfer means 15 and the first transfer means 5, the first
Is transferred to the training simulation game machine 1. Then, based on the transferred second breeding history data, the first breeding means 3 further breeds characters according to the first breeding simulation game program 2 to breed characters.

The transfer means 5 and 15 have been described as being connected by wire to the first breeding simulation game machine 1 and the second breeding simulation game machine 10 in a wired manner, but the invention is not limited to this. Any two-way communication or one-way communication is possible. For example, a memory card reading device 15B is provided in FIG.
The first breeding history data is temporarily stored in the memory card 5A from the home game machine as the breeding simulation game machine 1, and the memory card 5A is read by the reading device 15B as the second data transfer means 15. Thus, the first breeding history data can be transferred to the second breeding simulation game machine 10 side.
Further, the second data transfer means 15 is an optical communication receiving section as shown by 15C in FIG. 3, and the optical communication receiving section of the first transfer means 5 of the first training simulation game machine 1 is provided by the optical communication receiving section. , It is also possible to transfer the first breeding history data by optical communication.

(Creation of Synthetic Image of Raised Character and Game Player) As described above, the second breeding simulation game machine 10 has an image obtained by the photographing machine 20 for photographing the game player as the subject. The data and the image of the cultivated character are stored in the second breeding history data in the second storage means 14 (as described above, in a state where the breeding is not additionally bred by the second operation means 3A or the like, that is, in the first breeding history data). The fourth storage means 17 may be stored as the second breeding history data as it is).
The second character determination means 18 generates an image of a virtual bred character from the video data, and the generated video data and the image data obtained by the photographing machine 20 can be synthesized by the image synthesis means 20A. . Such a photographing machine 20 and the image synthesizing unit 20A are not essential components when the second breeding simulation game machine is used as a mere game for breeding characters.

However, by providing the photographing machine 20 and the image synthesizing means 20A in this manner, it is possible to display an image (photograph) obtained by synthesizing the grown character and the game player on the second display means 16. Thus, on this display screen, a point of contact between the character cultivated in the virtual society and the game player in the real world is obtained.

The video data of the character generated by the second breeding history data stored in the fourth storage means 17 is generated by the third breeding history data.
By finely classifying or expressing delicately compared with the video data of the storage means 7 of the above, the clarity and growth state slightly changed compared to the image displayed on the second display means 6. At times, it is possible to change the display image. Thus, the third storage means 7 and the fourth storage means 7
And the storage means 17 of the storage device 17, different images (one is a monochrome image, and the other is a full-color image having a large amount of data) based on the same breeding history data, thereby realizing a more realistic virtual world bred in a virtual society. Is displayed on the second display means 16 on the second training simulation game machine 10 side.

(Printing of Character Image) A printer 21 is connected to the image synthesizing means 20A of the second raising simulation game machine 10. Although this printer 21 is also of an ancillary configuration, it is possible to print the image displayed on the first display means 16 by connecting this printer 21 to the image synthesizing means 20A. It is possible to leave the corresponding ceremony (chigosan or graduation ceremony) and the progress of growth in the form of images. Also, if the image data photographed by the photographing machine 20 and synthesized by the image synthesizing means 20A are printed by the printer 21, the point of contact with the character of the virtual society is formed as described above, and the character to be further cultivated is attached. You can enjoy the fun of nurturing a real pet.

The second breeding simulation game machine is configured as a simple print game machine without a breeding simulation game program.
By transferring the breeding history data bred by the first breeding simulation game machine to the print game machine, the bred virtual character may be printed. In this case, no additional breeding is performed in the second breeding simulation game machine. As described above, in a case where the additional breeding in the second breeding simulation game machine cannot be performed, the transfer means 15 is provided with the first breeding simulation game machine.
It is only necessary to have a function as a data receiving means that only receives the breeding history data from the breeding simulation game machine.

(Transfer of breeding history data between breeding simulation game machines) FIG. 9 shows that breeding history data is transferred between breeding simulation game machines to exchange or transplant characters bred with each other. It is the figure which showed typically. By being able to transplant the characters bred to each other in this way, it is possible to broaden the range of game properties such as surrogate mother, marriage, or matchmaking.

(Configuration of Virtual Society by a Plurality of Training Simulation Game Machines) Virtual Society 1 FIG. 10 shows a plurality of first training simulation game machines 1 for portable use and a second business simulation game machine installed in a store or the like.
