1 is an overall external view of a music game device to which the presenting device of the present invention is applied. The game device is composed of a game machine main body 10 and a controller casing 20 arranged in front of it. The controller casing 20 may be of an integral structure with respect to the game machine main body 10, but may be of a type in which both of the controller casings are semi-fixed by position fixing devices (such as bolt nuts) as individual casings.

The main body 10 of the game machine includes a substantially rectangular parallelepiped casing, and a monitor 11 of a required size for displaying an image is disposed at a slightly inclined position at the rear of the front center portion thereof. By tilting the monitor screen 11A, the player screen is made easy to see the game screen because it is substantially orthogonal to the player's line of sight during play. On the ceiling of the main body of the game machine 10, a decorative part 12 is modeled after a conga, which is a percussion instrument, and a speaker 13 for sounding music in a symmetrical position is attached to the front side on the left and right sides. In the decoration part 12, the rendering apparatus 14 mentioned later using the casing is formed.

The controller casing 20 is mounted on the pedestal 24, and simulated percussion instruments 21, 22, and 23, which are modeled after three examples, are arranged side by side. The simulation instruments 21, 22 and 23 have substantially the same shape, and the height is set to the dimension corresponding to the lower end position of the monitor 11 in the state attached to the front of the game machine main body 10. As shown in FIG. In the upper part of the base part 24, the instruction | indication part 25 which has a panel shape is arrange | positioned, The center determination button 250 and the selection button 251 are provided in the left and right. The instruction unit 25 is used to select a desired difficulty level and a song name among them, since the game difficulty and the song name of the music are displayed on the screen 11A of the monitor 11 in a selectable manner as described below. . Instead of the instruction unit 25, a method of designating a selection item displayed at the pressing location by arranging a transparent tablet using a piezoelectric material in the overlapping screen 11A and pressing it with the finger of a player or the like is also adopted. It is possible.

The coin input part 26 is provided in the front part of the center simulation percussion instrument 22. The coin inlet 26 has an upper coin inlet 261 and a lower return inlet 262, and a coin detector 263 for detecting the injected coin in an internal coin passage (not shown) communicating with the coin inlet 261. 4). The return port 262 is, for example, for discharging when the return instruction or the authenticity judgment determines that the value is "fake". Woofer speakers 27 are disposed in front of the left and right simulated percussion instruments 21 and 23, respectively, and enable powerful bass sounds to be output in the immediate vicinity of the player. Moreover, the operation part 31, 32, 33 which imitated the knocking surface of the conga hit by the palm is attached to the ceiling part of the simulation percussion instruments 21, 22, 23, respectively. The operation parts 31-33 have the same structure.

2 is a structural diagram of the operation unit 31, 32, 33, (a) is an exploded perspective view, (b) is a plan view for explaining the relationship between the sensor and the region. The operation part 31 has the structure which makes the sensor 310 and the sensor operable, and the sensor accommodating part 311, the sensor position fixing member 312, the spacer 313, and the upper sheet material 314 from the lower side. It includes. The sensor 310 is a mechanical switch and has a structure in which the head 310a can be sunk, and is configured to output an on signal in an immersive state. The sensor accommodating part 311 is a circular container which accommodates the base part of a sensor, and the required wiring inside. The sensor position fixing member 312 has a disk shape and is screwed on the upper surface of the sensor accommodating portion 311. The sensor fixing member 312 is formed with a plurality of holes 312a concentrically in a predetermined position, for example, the center and the periphery thereof, and is fixed with the sensor 310 fitted in these holes 312a. have. The spacer 313 is a disc having a required thickness, and the hole 313a is formed at a position corresponding to the hole 312a of the sensor position fixing member 312. The sensor 310 is set to a height at which the whole or part of the head 310a protrudes from the upper surface of the spacer 313. The upper sheet member 314 is made of a material such as a circular resin having elasticity by being a surface to be hit by the palm of the player. In addition, the upper sheet member 314 is preferably formed of a relatively soft material or a thin layer so as not to be inadvertently responded to by vibrating the adjacent position.

The boundary line 314a is marked on the upper surface side of the upper sheet member 314 so that three regions can be visually recognized. The boundary line 314a is a region A1 which is symmetrical with the circular top sheet member 314 concentric with the circular top sheet member 314 on the front side (as shown in Fig. 2B). The area A2 is divided into the area A2 and the remaining area A3 mainly having the center or the front side. Three sensors 310 are included in the regions A1 and A2, respectively, and all remaining sensors 310 are included in the region A3. Hereinafter, especially when the sensor for every area | region is shown, it is called sensor 310A1, 310A2, 310A3. The sensors 310A1 (same as the sensors 310A2 and 310A3) are composed of three, i.e., a plurality of sensors, but the plurality of sensors are connected in parallel with each other. Even if any one of the sensors is turned on or a plurality of sensors are turned on at the same time, the output terminal outputs one operation signal. Alternatively, each sensor may be connected to the tapping operation detection unit 140 (FIG. 4) which will be described later, respectively, and the tapping operation detection unit 140 may perform the above signal processing.

Next, the control structure of this music game apparatus is demonstrated. The game device has a memory for storing a program for executing a music game, and each piece of music data prepared for a game difficulty level and each piece of music for instructing a player the timing of a tapping operation in response to the piece of music data. At least the operation pattern is stored. Each operation timing information included in the operation pattern is converted into a guide mark on the screen and displayed.

In addition, in the monitor screen 11A shown in FIG. 3, display lines for three columns corresponding to the operation units 31 to 33 are set in the vertical direction, and lines corresponding to the guide markers MG in each column at predetermined speeds are set in accordance with the operation pattern. To scroll from top to bottom. The scroll display can be realized, for example, by sequentially slowing the writing timing of the guide marker MG to the video RAM or the like (sequentially changing the write address). On the other hand, the reference marker MS is displayed at the bottom of the screen 11A, and the correlation between the timing at which the guide marker MG coincides with the reference marker MS and the timing at which the player has made a tapping operation on the corresponding operation unit (for example, By detecting the amount of deviation (time), the result of each operation is evaluated, and the evaluation is performed at the end of the game by the completion of the predetermined music for every one music, for example, in the form of a score. It is displayed in 11A.

The music data contains a sound corresponding to the timing at which the player should operate, and the sound corresponding to the timing at which the player should operate is stored separately in association with the operation timing. When the result of the operation on the player's control unit is evaluated to be related, the associated sound is output. When not relevant, the sound is not output or a slightly out of pitch sound is output. In other words, the original (no pitch misalignment and missing sound) is output when the player performs an operation at an appropriate timing, and when the operation is performed at an improper timing, the sound is out of pitch (or part of the sound is missing). The music is output.

Next, a series of flows of game actions will be described. When the detection unit detects coin input by the player, the screen 11A switches to the selection screen of game difficulty, and when the selection is instructed, a plurality of songs related to the selected difficulty are displayed, and selection of the songs is permitted. When the selection of the song is finished, the game starts. That is, the output (playing) of a music piece starts, and music flows from a speaker. At the same time, the guide marker MG appears from the upper side of the screen in accordance with the operation pattern, and scrolled to the lower reference marker MS. The player measures the timing at which the guide marker MG and the reference marker MS coincide with each other, and performs a tapping operation on the operation unit corresponding to the display line. When it is evaluated that the tapping operation is related, the up processing of the score according to the display and evaluation of the evaluation character for that purpose is performed, otherwise the display and the down processing for the effect are performed. When one piece is finished, the evaluation for one piece is displayed as a score, and the player is notified of the level. When the predetermined music portion ends and the game ends, the integrated evaluation becomes the same and score is displayed, and then the process shifts to the display processing of the game waiting demo image.

4 is a side cross-sectional view for explaining the structure of the rendering apparatus of the present invention. In the rear part of the decoration part 12 of the game machine main body 10, the production apparatus 14 is formed in the right-and-left pair, and simulates "a flame" here. The rendering device 14 has a box-shaped casing 140 and is vertically installed in communication with a circular lower cylinder 142 having a blower 141 having a rotating fan therein and an upper end of the lower cylinder 142. The circular upper cylinder 143 having the required length, the director 144 that is movable in the cylinder of the upper cylinder 143, and the colored member such as white light or orange color are irradiated to the director 144. It has a basic structure including the light source unit 145.

The lower cylinder 142 is disposed at the rear side with only the required angle inclined, and at least a part of its peripheral surface is provided with a light transmitting portion 146 made of, for example, a transparent acrylic plate. The light source unit 145 is disposed on the shaft center of the upper cylinder 143 as the lower side of the light projecting unit 146, and irradiates the director body 144 with light from the light source unit 145 through the light projecting unit 146. have. By arranging the lower cylinder 142 inclined, it is possible to reduce the height in the height direction, and water droplets and dust from the opening of the upper surface of the upper cylinder 143 enter the blower 141, causing a short circuit, etc. This is prevented. In addition, by arranging the light source unit 145 on the shaft center of the upper cylinder 143, the diffuse reflection light or the leaked light after the light from the light source unit 145 irradiates the director body 144 is housed in which the game machine main body 10 is installed. Because it is reflected in the ceiling of the room, it can realize fantastic direction on the ceiling. In addition, the lower end of the lower cylinder 142 communicates with the outside through the inside of the game machine main body 10 (not shown), thereby securing the flow of air by the blower 141.

The director body 144 is composed of a cylindrical body 1442 and a director member 1442. The cylindrical body 1441 has an outer diameter of approximately 5-9% as compared with the inner diameter of the upper cylinder 143. As shown in FIG. 5, the rendering member 1442 is a thin layer of orange, purple, or the like, a so-called sticking portion that is wound around the cylindrical body 1442 in a wound form, and a plurality of long cuts having a sawtooth shape. It is comprised by the flare part 1442a comprised as it is. In addition, the rendering member 1442 is a semi-transparent material that suitably transmits the light from the light source unit 145 such as cloth or vinyl chloride, and is light and soft that fluctuates properly by the wind from the blower 141. Material is used. By using a translucent material for the rendering member 1442, a part of the light from the light source unit 145 is reflected on the rendering member 1442 to be visible to the player, and at the rear of the rendering member 1442 (from the rendering member 1442). When seen, the background from the opposite side of the player's position is transmitted and visible to the player, resulting in a directing effect close to the actual flame. In addition, since a part of the light from the light source unit 145 is transmitted to the rendering member 1442 to be reflected on the ceiling of the house, a fantastic rendering can be realized on the ceiling.

In addition, a rod 1431 through the center is provided at the lower end of the upper cylinder 143, while a wire rod 1443 is provided through the center in the cylindrical body 1441, and between the rod 1431 and the wire rod 1443. For example, a string 147 made of a soft material such as nylon is provided. The length of the string 147 is set to the dimension by which the cylindrical body 1441 does not protrude upward from the upper cylinder 143. The string 147 is connected to the rod 1431 so as to be rotatable (idle running), but instead of this, a configuration may be connected to the wire rod 1443 so as to be idling.

Next, the operation of the rendering apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 6, and 7. When the blower 141 is driven and the blower fan starts turning, the raised airflow including the vortex collides with the directing body 144 via the lower cylinder 142 and the upper cylinder 143. As a result, air resistance acts on the directing member 144 by the upward airflow, and the directing member 144 ascends the upper cylinder 143 as a result of the lifting force applied. As the strap 147 extends as the director 144 rises and fully stretches, the strap 147 is connected to the rod 1431, so that the strap 147 pulls the director 144 downward. This acts, the director body 144 stops the ascension (see FIG. 4).

At this time, since the outer diameter of the cylindrical body 1441 is smaller than the inner diameter of the upper cylinder 143, the outer cylinder 143 revolves along the inner wall of the upper cylinder 143 under the influence of the vortices, and It rotates by frictional resistance with an inner wall (refer FIG. 6). In the present embodiment, as described above, the upper cylinder 143 serves as a guide for restricting the movement of the directing member 144 and the passage leading to the wind from the blower 141 to the directing member 144. In addition, as a result of receiving an irregular movement caused by the ejection operation to the upper side of the flare portion 1442a, as a result of the irregular movement of both the revolution and the rotation, a flame close to reality is simulated to produce a directing effect (see FIG. 7). In addition, although the string 147 is twisted due to the rotation of the cylindrical body 1441, the twist is avoided because the string 147 is connected to the rod 1431 so as to be rotatable (idle rotation).

On the other hand, when the blower 141 is turned off, the rise airflow disappears, and the directing body 144 descends the upper cylinder 143 according to its own weight, and comes into contact with the rod 1431 to stop. At this time, the flare portion 1442a is also accommodated in the upper cylinder 143. In addition to the blower fan, fresh air containing no vortex component is transmitted, and a plurality of spiral protrusions or the like may be provided in the inner wall surface of the upper cylinder 143 as a vortex generating structure, or the cylindrical body 1441. ), Such as a rotary blade, may be provided to provide a rotational force.

Moreover, this invention can take the following forms.

(A) Although the case of simulating a flame has been described in the present embodiment, it may be in the form of simulating a scene that exists in another natural system (for example, a fountain, etc.) and which the image changes slightly depending on at least the influence of the wind. . However, it is necessary to select the shape and the material of the director body 144, the light color of the light source unit 145, and the like depending on the scene to be simulated.

(B) In this embodiment, the case where the upper cylinder 143 combines the passage | guide which guides the wind from the blower 141 to the director body 144, and the guide which regulates the movement of the director body 144 was demonstrated. Alternatively, a passage for guiding the wind from the blower 141 to the director body 144 and a guide for regulating the movement of the director body 144 may be separately provided, and the wind from the blower 141 may be directed to the director body. A passage leading to 144 may be provided but a guide for restricting the movement of the director body 144 may not be provided.

(C) Although the case where the movement of the up-and-down direction of the production body 144 is regulated by the string 147 was demonstrated in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the cylindrical gas which has a cylindrical cavity in substantially lower center of a lower part. 1441a and the lower end are fixed to the rod 1431, and the up-and-down direction of the director body 144 is made along the wire 147a which penetrates the cavity and fixes a spherical screw having a diameter larger than the diameter of the cavity at the upper end. This may be a form in which the movement of the dog is regulated. In addition, the wire rod 147a is made of, for example, a steel wire rod such as a piano wire. When the director body 144 is raised, the wire member 147a swings with the swing of the director body 144. It is approximately upright. In this case, when the extension body 144 rises, the screwing and the cylindrical body 1441a come into contact with each other, whereby the rise of the extension body 144 stops at a predetermined position. In addition, when the air blowing from the blower 141 is stopped, the directing body 144 descends and stops falling by contacting the rod 1431. In this case, the wire rod 147a may be fixed to the rod 1431 and does not need to be rotatably connected.

(D) Although this embodiment demonstrated the case where the movement of the up-and-down direction of the production body 144 is regulated by the string 147, the up-down direction of the production body 144 is made by making the upper cylinder into the shape which expands to the upper part. This may be a form in which the movement of the car is restricted. In this case, when the cast member 144 rises, the gap between the director body 144 and the upper cylinder 143 is enlarged, and the air resistance from the blower 141 passing through the gap is increased so that the air resistance received by the director body is increased. By decreasing, the extension 144 rises and stops at a predetermined position. In addition, when the air blowing from the blower 141 is stopped, the director body 144 descends and the lowering stops by contacting the portion of the small diameter of the upper cylinder 144 with the director body 144. In this case, the string 147 and the rod 1431 are unnecessary.

(E) Although the case where the director body 144 rotates and revolves was demonstrated in this embodiment, either the rotating or revolving or the form which oscillates may be sufficient. In addition, what kind of motion the director body 144 will determine depends on the inner diameter dimension of the upper cylinder 143, the outer diameter dimension of the cylindrical body 1441, the air volume, the wind speed of the blower 141, and the like. That is, in order to achieve a desired rendering effect, the inner diameter of the upper cylinder 143, the outer diameter of the cylindrical body 1441, and the air flow rate and the wind speed of the blower 141 are selected to perform an appropriate motion for the directing body 144. I need to.

(F) Although the light quantity and light color of the light source part 145 were demonstrated in this embodiment, the form which changes at least either light quantity or light color may be sufficient. In this case, the rendering effect of the rendering device becomes colorful. In addition, if at least one of the light quantity and the light color is changed according to the scene of the game, the effect of the production can be further enhanced.

(G) Although the air flow rate and the wind speed of the blower 141 were demonstrated in this embodiment, the form which changes at least one of a wind volume or a wind speed may be sufficient. In this case, the rendering effect of the rendering device becomes colorful. In addition, if at least one of the air volume or the wind speed is changed according to the scene of the game, the effect of directing can be further enhanced.

According to the present invention, the directing means oscillates due to the wind transmitted from the blowing means through the ventilation means, and as a result, the directing means performs a natural motion in accordance with a subtle change of the wind flow, thereby realizing a realistic directing device that has never existed before. Can be. According to the present invention, since the swinging range of the directing means is restricted by the guide means, it is possible to prevent damage due to contact with other devices or the like. According to the present invention, since it is not necessary to separately install the ventilation means and the guide means, the structure of the game directing apparatus is simplified.

According to the present invention, since the movement of the directing means in the blowing direction from the blowing means is restricted by the first guide means, and the movement of the directing means in the vertical direction in the blowing direction from the blowing means is restricted by the second guide means. In this case, the means for directing swings within a predetermined range, and damages due to contact with other devices can be prevented.

According to the present invention, since the second guide means serves as a passage for blowing from the blowing means to the directing means, the blowing from the blowing means to the directing means is performed efficiently. In addition, since the directing means can be mounted on or off depending on whether there is air from the blowing means to the directing means, it is possible to store the directing means inside the second guide means when a directing device such as conveyance of a game machine is not used. It is possible to save space, and to prevent damage to the rendering means.

According to the present invention, when the air is blown from the blowing means to the directing means, the first guide means extends by receiving the upward blowing resistance larger than gravity, and the directing means extends to the cylinder of the second guide means. It is in the state expressed outside. On the other hand, when the blowing from the blowing means to the directing means is not performed, the first guide means degenerates by the gravity descending under the gravity, and the directing means is stored in the cylinder body of the second guide means. As a result, the directing means can be brought in and out depending on whether there is airflow from the blowing means to the directing means.

According to the present invention, since the flexible wire rod is connected to the lower end of the cylinder so as to be rotatable around the axis of the cylinder, the flexible wire rod is not twisted even when the directing means is rotated around the axis of the cylinder, thereby preventing damage to the flexible wire rod. . According to the present invention, the cylindrical gas portion of the directing means receives the wind transmitted from the blowing means, and the cylindrical gas portion is oscillated in the cylinder of the second guide means, and as a result, the directing member connected to the cylindrical gas portion is oscillated, and the effect of rendering Appears. According to the present invention, since the flexible wire rod is connected to approximately the center of the cylindrical base portion, the point of action of the force applied to the cylindrical base portion from the flexible wire rod having a size that balances the resistance of the wind transmitted from the blowing means received by the cylindrical base portion is the cylindrical portion. It becomes approximately the center of the body part, and as a result, unnatural fluctuations of the cylindrical body part are prevented, resulting in a natural rendering effect.

According to the present invention, since light is irradiated to the directing means that performs a natural motion according to the subtle change of the wind flow by the light transmitting means, the atmosphere created by the directing means is emphasized, and a realistic directing device can be realized. According to the present invention, since it is possible to change at least one of the light quantity and the light color of the light emitted by the light transmitting means to the directing means, the effect of directing the apparatus is varied. According to the present invention, since it is possible to change at least one of the air volume and the wind speed transmitted by the blowing means to the directing means, the directing effect of the directing apparatus is varied.
