The present invention relates to an image display device and an operation control method thereof, and more particularly, to a game device displaying a game image and an operation control method thereof.

In order to suppress power consumption when displaying an image on a display, a technique for adjusting the brightness of a part of a displayed image is known. For example, in a portable terminal device that scrolls content images through a flick operation, when an image other than an image displayed on the display scrolls on the display after a flick operation, the luminance of the image is lowered to reduce power consumption. A suppressing technique is known (Patent Document 1).

Also known is a technique for adjusting the brightness of a displayed image according to the brightness around the display to improve the visibility of the displayed image regardless of the brightness around the display. For example, in a liquid crystal television device in which a light receiving element is provided on the front side of a liquid crystal display element plate, the voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer of the liquid crystal display element is changed according to the ambient brightness detected by the light receiving element, thereby increasing the brightness of the entire displayed image. A technique for changing is known (Patent Document 2).

In recent years, as diversification of image display methods has been further demanded, an image display device provided with a plurality of regions capable of independently displaying images in an image display region of a display has been studied. Such an image display device requires a method for improving the visibility of a displayed image in each area. However, with the above conventional image display technology, it is difficult to sufficiently enhance the visibility of display images in each region.

Also, the reading unit 4 may be constituted only by an imaging device.

<Speaker>

The speaker 5 has a function of outputting various sounds. The speaker 5 is provided under the display unit 6 in the inner portion of the upper surface of the case 2 . The number of speakers 5 is not particularly limited, and may be one or a plurality of two or more. In this embodiment, two speakers 5 are provided on both sides of the inner part of the upper surface of the case 2 corresponding to each sub game device. The sound output by the speaker 5 includes music pieces, sound effects, and the like stored in the storage unit 7 .

<Display part>

The display unit 6 has a function of displaying game images (predetermined images). As shown in FIG. 1, the display unit 6 is provided on the speaker 5 on the upper surface of the case 2. Although the display part 6 is comprised by the display panel of 1 sheet, a touch panel may be sufficient as it. In addition, the display unit 6 is formed in a quadrangular shape as shown in FIG. 1, but is not limited thereto, and may be formed in a circular or triangular shape.

The display unit 6 has an entire screen area 61 displaying game images, and a frame 62 provided along an outer edge of the entire screen area 61 . The entire screen area 61 includes an individual area 611 and a partition area 612 . The entire screen area 61 has a function of displaying game images on the entire display unit 6 as shown in FIG. When a player of the first sub game device 1A and a player of the second sub game device 1B play cooperatively or against each other, a game image is displayed on the entire screen area 61 .

The individual areas 611 include an area (first area) 611A displaying game images for the first sub game device 1A, and an area displaying game images for the second sub game device 1B (second area). ) (611B). These areas 611A and 611B are configured with the same area as each other through the partition area 612 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 . This can make it appear at first glance to the player that there are two gaming devices. However, the area of one area may be smaller than the area of the other area. For example, when a battle game is executed between the first sub game device 1A and the second sub game device 1B, if the area 611A for the first sub game device 1A is large, the first sub game device 1A has a large area. The game image for the game device 1A is displayed large. In this case, the impression that the player of the first sub game device 1A is superior can be given to the player.

The first area 611A is provided corresponding to the first sub operation unit 3A of the first sub game device 1A. The first region 611A is formed in a rectangular shape, but is not limited thereto. The second area 611B is provided corresponding to the second sub operation section 3B of the second sub game device 1B. The second region 611B is formed in a rectangular shape, but is not limited thereto. The first area 611A may display the same image as the image displayed on the second area 611B or may display a different image. In addition, the first area 611A and the second area 611B can independently display images.

The partition area (third area) 612 has a function of dividing the first area 611A and the second area 611B. Accordingly, the partition area 612 is provided between the first area 611A and the second area 611B. The shape of the partition area 612 is not particularly limited, and may be a long shape (FIG. 4), a rectangular shape, a substantially trapezoidal shape (FIG. 6), or the like. The area of the partition area 612 is not particularly limited, and may be larger or smaller than the area of the first area 611A or the second area 611B. The partition area 612 may be further divided into several areas.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4 , the partition area 612 may be divided along its short longitudinal direction to have two partition areas. That is, the partition area 612 may include a first partition area 612A for the first area 611A and a second partition area 612B for the second area 611B. Also, as shown in FIG. 6 , the partition area 612 may be divided along its long longitudinal direction to have two partition areas. That is, the partition area 612 may include a third partition area 612C for game images and a fourth partition area 612D for text images. In this way, a plurality of images or different images can be displayed in the partition area 612 .

The frame body 62 is provided on the speaker 5 or case 2. The frame body 62 is formed in a rectangular shape, but is not limited thereto. For example, frame body 62 may be formed in any shape, such as a circular shape or an elliptical shape. Frame body 62 has a junction 621 formed so as to be concave inward at the center of its long side. By this joining part 621, the frame body is formed symmetrically from side to side. Therefore, the display section 6 can be displayed as two display sections, such as the sub display section 6A for the first sub game device 1A and the sub display section 6B for the second sub game device 1B.

The frame body 62 may also include the 1st frame member 62A for the 1st sub game device 1A, and the 2nd frame member 62B for the 2nd sub game device 1B. As shown in Figs. 4 to 6, the first frame member 62A and the second frame member 62B are formed in a substantially "C" shape. One end and the other end of the first frame member 62A are in contact with one end and the other end of the second frame member 62B, respectively, to form a bonding portion 621 . Through this configuration, the first frame member 62A and the second frame member 62B are disposed symmetrically with respect to the joint 621 . Therefore, the display unit 6 can be viewed as two display units.

As shown in FIG. 4, one end and the other end of the 1st frame member 62A are provided facing each other. Therefore, an image identical to the appearance of the shorter side of the frame 62 (partition image) can be displayed on the first partition area 612A from one end toward the other end. Because of this, the first frame member 62A and the partition image can be connected to form an annular frame member (the first frame member 62A). That is, the partition image appears to be integrally formed with the first frame member 62A. Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize that there is a separate sub-display section 6A in the display section 6.

On the other hand, one end and the other end of the second frame member 62B are provided facing each other. Therefore, an image identical to the appearance of the short side of the frame 62 (partition image) can be displayed on the second partition area 612B from one end toward the other end. Because of this, the second frame member 62B and the partition image can be connected to form an annular frame member (second frame member 62B). That is, the partition image appears to be integrally formed with the second frame member 62B. Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize that there is a separate sub-display section 6B in the display section 6.

In this way, the frame body 62 for the first sub game device 1A is constituted by the first frame member 62A and the partition image. Furthermore, the frame body 62 for the 2nd sub game device 1B is comprised with the 2nd frame member 62B and a partition image. In this way, one frame body 62 can be divided into two frame members 62A and 62B, and the player can be given the impression that there are two game devices although it is one game device 1 . And the 1st frame member 62A (the 1st area|region 611A) and the 1st sub operation part 3A, and the 2nd frame member 62B (the 2nd area 611B) and the 2nd sub operation part 3B The partition images are arranged symmetrically on the left and right around the central axis. Therefore, the impression that there are two game devices can be given to the player.

<Illuminance detector>

The illuminance detector S has a function of detecting illuminance (luminance, chromaticity, etc.) around the display unit 6 . The roughness detection unit S is, for example, incorporated in the upper side of the frame 62 of the display unit 6, and is provided in the vicinity of the junction 621 on the upper side of the first frame member 62A in this embodiment. As such an illuminance detector S, for example, an optical sensor or an imaging device is used, but an optical sensor is used in this embodiment. The optical sensor acquires incident light as luminance/chromaticity signals such as tristimulus values X, Y, and Z, and supplies this signal information to the storage unit 7 (FIG. 7).

In addition, a plurality of illuminance detection units S may be incorporated in the frame 62 . In this case, since predetermined parameters of the partition image are adjusted based on the signal information of the plurality of illuminance detection units S, more accurate adjustment is possible. In addition, the structure attached to the frame body 62 may be sufficient as the roughness detection part S. In the case of using an imaging device as the illuminance detection unit S, it may be provided inside the operation field 32 of the operation unit 3 to detect the illuminance of the frame 62 of the display unit 6, for example.

＜Memory Department＞

Next, the storage unit 7 will be described. The storage unit 7 stores game programs and game data. The game program is a program for causing the game device 1 to run a game, and is realized by cooperation with hardware. Game data is game-related data and includes character data, music data, image data, sound effect data, and the like.

The character data is data related to the character's name, special move, weapon, strength, and the like. The music data is music data flowing from the speaker 5. The music data includes a plurality of pieces of music data, such as a singer's piece of music or a game piece of music, for example. The image data is game image data. Game image data includes, for example, data related to character images, background images, and various effect images. Sound effect data is sound data played during game play, and is different from music data. The sound effect data includes, for example, evaluation sound data flowing according to the result of the player's operation.

In the game device 1 of this embodiment provided with the illuminance detection unit S, the storage unit 7 stores data for adjusting predetermined parameters of the partition image as shown in FIG. First, chromaticity is measured at various brightnesses (brightness) for various types of frame elements 62 having different color variations using an imaging device or the like in advance, and stored in the storage unit 7 as frame information (frame parameters). . At this time, the place where the luminance and chromaticity are measured is the place where the illuminance detector (S) is provided. In addition, in the present embodiment, the three attributes (hue, brightness, and saturation) of the color calculated based on the luminance (luminous reflectance Y _a ) and chromaticity (xy chromaticity coordinates (x _a , y _a )) based on the CIE XYZ color system are "predetermined"Parameter", but the "predetermined parameter" may be information about luminance, chromaticity, and other colorimetric systems based on other colorimetric systems (e.g., RGB colorimetric system, Yuv colorimetric system, etc.), or may be signal information of either luminance or chromaticity. . In addition, luminance (luminous reflectance Y _a ) based on the CIE XYZ color system corresponds to "brightness" among the three properties of color, and chromaticity (xy chromaticity coordinates (x _a , y _a )) based on the CIE XYZ color system corresponds to "brightness" among the three properties of color. Corresponds to "hue" and "saturation".

Also, the storage unit 7 stores predetermined threshold values corresponding to each frame information (No. 1, 2, ...). In addition, the predetermined threshold value may be all the same in each frame body information, or may be changed according to the luminance value. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the luminance is high (70% of No. 2), the luminance and chromaticity thresholds are set high, and when the luminance is low (5% of No. 6), the luminance and chromaticity are set high. It is preferable that the threshold value of is set small. This is because the brighter the surrounding environment, the more the luminance and chromaticity of objects to be compared look the same even if they differ to some extent, whereas the darker the surrounding environment, the more different the objects to be compared appear even if their luminance and chromaticity are slightly different.

The storage unit 7 stores the illuminance (detected value) detected by the illuminance detection unit S. The detected detection value, the frame information and threshold value information are provided to parameter determining means 86 and parameter adjusting means 87 to be described later.

The storage unit 7 stores predetermined events as shown in FIG. 8 . The predetermined event includes a boss character appearing event, a bonus event, an intrusion battle event, and a winning character, which are shown in FIG. 8 . These predetermined events are stored in association with the display area where the game image is to be displayed and the partition image dividing the display area. For example, the boss character appearance event A is mapped so that the display area is only the entire screen area 61 and there are no partition images. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the image is displayed on the entire screen area 61. In the boss character appearance event B, the display areas are the individual area 611 and the partition area 612, and the partition image corresponds to the boss character B image and the text image "Power 20%". At this time, a partition image is displayed in the partition area 612 as shown in FIG. 6 .

Further, for example, when one player plays on the first sub game device 1A in the entire screen area 61 and another player plays on the second sub game device 1B, an event is triggered. That is, when the 2nd sub operation part 3B of the 2nd sub game device 1B receives the operation input of the invasion battle by another player, the invasion battle B event is invoked. At this time, the intrusion battle B is associated so that the display area is the individual area 611 and the partition area 612, and the partition image is a bar image. At this time, a partition image is displayed in the partition area 612 as shown in FIG. 4 .

In addition, in the state where the recording medium 11 of the same winning character is ejected from the first sub game device 1A and the second sub game device 1B, the first sub game device 1A and the second sub game device 1B When a play is executed in the event is triggered. That is, when the player of the second sub game device 1B is executed during play on the first sub game device 1A, the winning character event is activated. At this time, the image is displayed on the entire screen area 61 as shown in FIG. 5, for example.

<control part>

Next, the control unit 8 will be described. The controller 8 controls all functions related to game execution. As shown in FIG. 3, the controller 8 includes an acquisition unit 81, a game processing unit 82, a display control unit 83, a switching unit 84, a partition unit 85, and a parameter determination unit 86. ), parameter adjustment means 87, and sound output control means 88.

(means of acquisition)

Acquisition means 81 has a function of acquiring information related to operation input by the player, character information of the recording medium 11, game information, and the like. Acquisition means 81 acquires information about an operation input when a player presses a push button 31 . It can simultaneously receive information on manipulation inputs from the first sub-manipulation unit 3A and the second sub-manipulation unit 3B. Information related to such operation input includes, for example, information related to interrupt play, information related to character selection, and the like. Also, the acquisition means 81 acquires the character information and the like read by the reader 4. In addition, various information acquired through the communication unit 9 to be described later is acquired.

(game processing means)

The game processing means 82 has a function of processing the information acquired by the acquiring means 81 and the progress of the game. For example, the game processing means 82 determines the game image information stored in the storage unit 7 and provides it to the display control means 83. The game processing means 82 determines sound information and provides it to the sound output control means 88. Also, the game processing means 82 determines and activates a predetermined event. In this way, the game processing means 82 processes the progress of the entire game.

Here, the determination of the predetermined event by the game processing means 82 may be made randomly, may be made periodically, may be made by a player's operation input, or may be made according to the number (plural) of the winning recording media 11. may be done Also, as shown in Fig. 7, the game processing means 82 specifies a specific partition image corresponding to a predetermined event, but may decide to display a predetermined image other than the partition image.

(display control means)

The display control means 83 has a function of controlling the display of all images related to the game. That is, the display control means 83 controls the display of game image information provided by the game processing means 82 and the display of partition images by the partition means 85. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the display control means 83 independently controls the display of game images in both the first area 611A and the second area 611B of the display section 6. Also, the display control means 83 controls the display of game images in the entire screen area 61 as shown in FIG. Further, the display control unit 83 controls the display of a linear partition image (FIG. 4), a partition image such as a game image or a text image (FIG. 6) in the partition area 612. Further, when information for adjusting predetermined parameters (hue, brightness, and saturation) of the partition image is provided by the parameter adjusting means 87, display of the partition image with the predetermined parameters adjusted is controlled. In this way, the display control means 83 can control to display a predetermined image separately in each area of the display section 6 .

(means of conversion)

The switching unit 84 has a function of switching between the entire screen area 61 and the individual area 611 when a predetermined event is triggered by the game processing unit 82 or when the control unit 3 receives predetermined input information. . Specifically, when a game play is being executed, the switching unit 84 changes the display area of the display unit 6 from the individual area 611 to the entire screen area 61 by triggering the predetermined event or receiving input information. , or switching from the entire screen area 61 to the individual area 611. That is, when there is a predetermined event, the switching means 84 refers to the event table of FIG. 8 and controls the display area to be switched to the display area corresponding to the event.

Typically, the game device 1 is set so that each sub game device individually executes the game. Therefore, the partition image is displayed in the partition area 612 between the first area 611A and the second area 611B. Accordingly, the switching unit 84 switches the display area from the first area 611A to the full screen area 61 and from the second area 611B to the full screen area 61 when a predetermined event is triggered. can be executed simultaneously.

On the other hand, when each sub game device is set to cooperatively play a game, a game image is displayed on the entire screen area 61. Therefore, when a predetermined event is triggered, the conversion unit 84 converts the display area from the entire screen area 61 to individual areas 611 (first area 611A and second area 611B) and partition area 612. can switch

(partition means)

The partition means 85 has a function of dividing between the first area 611A and the second area 611B and is constituted by a partition image. Specifically, when the switching means 84 switches the display area, the partitioning means 85 identifies the partition area 612 and the partition image corresponding to the event by referring to the information table in FIG. 8 . The partitioning means 85 provides information about the specified partitioning area 612 and the partition image to the display control means 83.

The partition image is not particularly limited as long as it can divide the first area 611A and the second area 611B. Accordingly, the partition image may be an elongated image (bar image), an annular image, a curved image, a game image, a predetermined character image, or the like. For example, as shown in Fig. 8, when an intrusion battle B event is activated, the partitioning means 85 specifies the bar image and display area of the partition image. The partition means 85 provides these information to the display control means 83. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4 , bar images are displayed in each of the first partition area 612A and the second partition area 612B. At this time, the bar image is composed of an image identical to the appearance of the opposing frame member. Therefore, it is visually recognized as if the 1st frame member 62A was formed in the frame shape by the 1st frame member 62A and the bar image. Furthermore, the second frame member 62B and the bar image visually recognize the second frame member 62B as being formed in a frame shape. Therefore, the player can be recognized as if there are two game devices.

Further, as shown in Fig. 8, when a boss character appearance A or a winning character event is activated, the partition means 85 determines that there is no partition image to be displayed. Accordingly, the partition means 85 provides information for erasing the partition image being displayed to the display control means 83. In this case, as shown in Fig. 5, the partition image is erased and the game image is displayed on the entire screen area 61. As a result, two players can simultaneously enjoy the game on one display unit 6 .

Further, as shown in Fig. 8, when the boss character appearance B event is triggered, the partitioning means 85 specifies "boss character B" and "power 20%" of the partition image and the display area. The partition means 85 provides these information to the display control means 83. In this case, as shown in Fig. 6, the boss character B is displayed in the third partition area 612C, and the text image "Power 20%" is displayed in the fourth partition area 612D. This allows the player to know how much power boss character B has. Also, the layout of the third partition area 612C and the fourth partition area 612D is not particularly limited, and the fourth partition area 612D may be positioned above the third partition area 612C.

(parameter determination means)

The parameter determining means 86 determines predetermined parameters (hue, brightness, and chroma) of the partition area 612 to be adjusted according to the illuminance detected by the illuminance detector S. Specifically, the parameter determining unit 86 determines the predetermined parameters of the partition area 612 by referring to the frame information and detection values in the parameter adjusting data table (frame information, threshold information, and detection values) shown in FIG. 7 . do.

Based on the data table shown in FIG. 7, the parameter determination means 86 determines the frame information (luminance and chromaticity) stored in the storage unit 7 and the detection values (luminance and chromaticity) detected by the illuminance detection unit S. Calculate the difference (difference) of For example, referring to frame information No. 1 of FIG. 7 , the luminance Y _a value to be displayed is 50%, whereas the detected luminance Y _b value is 55%. Therefore, the difference in luminance to be adjusted is 5% (=55-50). In addition, while the xy chromaticity coordinates (x _a , y _a ) to be displayed are (0.46, 0.44), the detected xy chromaticity coordinates (x _b , y _b ) are (0.52, 0.38). Therefore, the difference between the xy chromaticity coordinates to be adjusted is 0.06 (=0.52-0.46) for the x coordinate and -0.06 (=0.38-0.44) for the y coordinate.

Based on the difference between luminance and chromaticity calculated in this way, the calculated difference between hue, brightness, and chroma is determined as predetermined parameter data to be adjusted. The parameter determining means 86 provides the calculated difference amount to the parameter adjusting means 87. Further, in the above example, the amount of difference is determined so that the luminance and chromaticity of the partition image completely match the luminance and chromaticity of the frame information. may contain errors.

(parameter adjustment means)

The parameter adjustment means 87 has a function of adjusting predetermined parameters (hue, brightness, and chroma) of the partition image displayed in the partition area 612 based on the predetermined parameters determined by the parameter determination means 86. The parameter adjustment means 87 may (i) always adjust the predetermined parameters of the partition image based on the difference amounts of hue, brightness and saturation determined by the parameter determination means 86, and (ii) the difference amounts within a threshold value range. The predetermined parameter of the partition image may be adjusted only when it is exceeded.

In the case of (i) above, the parameter determining means 86 determines the difference between the luminance and chromaticity (hue, brightness and chroma) determined by the parameter determining means 86 from the luminance and chromaticity of the display data of the currently displayed partition image. is subtracted or added to adjust the luminance and chromaticity of the partition image to completely match the luminance and chromaticity of the frame information.

In the case of (ii), the parameter determining means 87 determines the difference between the luminance and chromaticity determined by the parameter determining means 86 based on the data table shown in FIG. ), the luminance and chromaticity of the partition image are adjusted so that they completely match the luminance and chromaticity of the frame information. On the other hand, when the difference amount is within the threshold value range, the predetermined parameter of the partition image is not adjusted. For example, in frame information No. 1, the amount of difference in luminance to be adjusted (5%) did not exceed the threshold value range, but the amount of difference in xy chromaticity coordinates to be adjusted (x: 0.06, y: -0.06) Since the threshold value range is exceeded, the parameters of the partition image are adjusted. Also, in frame information No. 2, although the difference in luminance to be adjusted (8%) was large, it did not exceed the threshold value range, and the amount of difference in xy chromaticity coordinates to be adjusted (x: -0.09, y: 0.05) Since this threshold value range is not exceeded, parameter adjustment of the partition image is not performed.

In the game device 1 of this embodiment, the illuminance detector S detects the illuminance around the display unit 6, and adjusts predetermined parameters (such as hue, brightness and chroma) of the partition image according to the detected illuminance. Specifically, the display unit 6 displays the partition image so that the frame 62 and the partition image are seen integrally according to the detected illuminance.

For example, if the game device 1 is installed in a relatively dark place, the luminance (reflectance) of the frame 62 of the display unit 6 decreases. Therefore, if the partition image of the partition area 612 is displayed with the same luminance as the display image of the individual area 611, the frame 62 and the partition image may not be seen integrally because the partition image is too bright. Also, depending on the color of the lighting at the place where the game device 1 is installed, the frame 62 and the partition image may not be seen integrally.

In contrast, in the game device 1 of the present embodiment, the display unit 6 displays the frame image so that the frame 62 and the screen image are seen integrally according to the detected illuminance, so the game device 1 It is possible to give a stronger impression to the player that there are two game devices regardless of the place where is installed. In addition, since the partition image and the frame 62 are viewed more integrally, the visibility of the display image of each individual area 611A, 611B can be improved.

In addition, when a predetermined parameter of the partition image of the partition area 612 is adjusted at the start of the game, when switching from each individual area 611 to the entire screen area 61 by the switching means 84, the parameter adjusting means ( 87) cancels the adjusted parameters. Further, when the display area is switched from the entire screen area 61 to the individual area 611 and the partition area 612 by the switching unit 84, the parameter adjustment unit 87 adjusts the predetermined parameters of the partition image again. .

(sound output control means)

The sound output control means 88 controls the output of all sounds and music related to the game. Specifically, the sound output control unit 88 controls the output of music or sound determined by the game processing unit 82 . When the sound output means 88 supplies sound or music information to the speaker 5, the speaker 5 can output sound or music.

In addition to the above configuration, the controller 8 of the present invention may include appearance changing means having a function of changing the appearance of the partition image. The appearance changing means can change the appearance of the partition image by receiving an operation input or randomly. For example, when the frame 62 of the display unit 6 of the game device 1 shown in Fig. 1 is changed to another frame having a different appearance (design), the appearance changing means is used to change the frame member of the other frame member. The appearance of the partition image can be changed to suit the appearance. Also, the appearance changing means can change the color or design of the partition image specified by the partitioning means 85 and decorate the partition image with an image stored in advance. Therefore, regardless of the external appearance of the frame member, the partition image can be changed according to the external appearance.

Also, the control unit 8 may include a mode changing means for changing the play mode. The mode includes a solo play mode, a match play mode, a cooperative play mode, a tournament play mode, and the like. The mode changing unit may change the play mode by receiving an operation input or randomly. The mode change means can execute this mode change at any time. When there is a mode change, the controller 8 executes the above-described processing to correspond to the mode change.

＜Communication Department＞

The communication unit 9 has a function of communicating with an external network (LAN, WAN, Internet, etc.) or device via wired or wireless. The game device 1 of the present invention may communicate data with other devices such as other game devices or information terminals via the communication unit 9 . For example, the communication unit 9 can acquire music data or game programs by communicating with other devices. Accordingly, the game program can be updated to provide the latest game. Also, the game device 1 may not have the communication unit 9 .

In the above, the image display device of the present invention has been described as the game device 1, but the game device 1 of the present embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned parts, has a coin slot, a coin return hole, and a recording medium 11 on the front of the case 2. ) is also provided.

B. Operation Control Method of Image Display Device

Next, the operation control method of the image display device of the present embodiment will be described. Hereinafter, for better understanding, a case where the image display device is a game device will be described as an example. 9 is a flow chart showing the game processing flow of the game device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. 10(a) and (b) are flow charts showing processing related to parameter adjustment of partition images in the game process shown in FIG. 9, and FIG. , and FIG. 10(b) is a flow chart showing processing for adjusting parameters before displaying a game image on the display unit.

First of all, the game process flow of the game device excluding the processing related to parameter adjustment of the partition image will be explained.

First, when the player inserts a coin, the display control means 83 controls the display of the game image. Accordingly, the display unit 6 displays the corresponding game image (S1). While the game is played by the player, the controller 8 determines whether the game processing means 82 has triggered a predetermined event (S2). If the predetermined event is not triggered, the process proceeds to step S1 and steps S1 to S2 are repeated. On the other hand, when a predetermined event is triggered, the process proceeds to step S3.

In step S3, the controller 8 determines whether or not the game image is displayed in the individual area 611 (S3). When the controller 8 determines that the game image is displayed in the individual area 611, the game image is displayed in the first area 611A and the second area 611B, and the partition image is displayed in the partition area 612. judge that it is At this time, the switching means 84 converts the display area of the display unit 6 from the individual area 611 to the entire screen area 61 (S4). After that, the partition image is erased in the partition area 612 (S5). Accordingly, the display unit 6 displays the game image on the entire screen area 61 (S6), and the process ends.

On the other hand, in step S3, if the controller 8 determines that the game image is not displayed in the individual area 611, it determines that the game image is displayed in the entire screen area 61. At this time, the process proceeds to step S7. Next, the controller 8 determines whether to convert the entire screen area 61 to the individual area 611 (S7). If the controller 8 judges that the entire screen area 61 is not converted to the individual area 611, the process proceeds to step S6, and the game image continues to be displayed in the entire screen area 61 (S6). This ends the processing.

On the other hand, if the control unit 8 determines to switch the entire screen area 61 to the individual area 611, the switching unit 84 switches the display area from the entire screen area 61 to the individual area 611 ( S8). Then, the partitioning means 85 specifies the partition image, and the partition image is displayed (S9). After that, the process proceeds to step S1. In this way, steps S1 to S9 are repeated.

Next, processing related to parameter adjustment of partition images will be described. The present embodiment is a method for adjusting parameters of a partition image, including: (i) a method of adjusting a predetermined parameter of a partition image according to the illumination around the display unit 6 after or while displaying a game image on the display unit 6; and (ii) a method of adjusting a predetermined parameter of the partition image according to the illumination around the display section 6 in advance before displaying the game image on the display section 6.

As shown in FIG. 10(a), in the method (i), in a state in which the display unit 6 displays the game image (S1), the illuminance detector S detects the illumination (luminance, chromaticity) around the display unit 6. ) is detected (S11). The detected illuminance is supplied to the storage unit 7, and a data table shown in Fig. 7 is created. Next, the parameter determination unit 86 refers to the data table to determine the amount of difference between the frame information and the detected value (predetermined parameter to be adjusted) (S12).

Next, the parameter adjusting unit 87 refers to the data table and determines whether the difference amount exceeds the threshold value range (S13). If the parameter adjustment means 87 determines that the difference amount exceeds the threshold value range, it adjusts the difference amount from the luminance and chromaticity of the image data of the currently displayed partition image (S14). After that, the display unit 6 displays the partition image with the color, brightness and saturation adjusted (S15). On the other hand, if the parameter adjustment means 87 determines that the difference amount does not exceed the threshold value range in step S13, that is, the difference amount is within the threshold value range, the parameter adjustment means 87 determines the color of the partition image of the display section 6. , do not adjust the brightness and saturation.

As shown in FIG. 10(b), in the above method (ii), when the player inserts a coin, the illuminance detector S detects the illumination (luminance) around the display unit 6 before displaying the game image on the display unit 6. , chromaticity) is detected (S11). The detected illuminance is supplied to the storage unit 7, and a data table shown in Fig. 7 is created. Next, the parameter determination unit 86 refers to the data table to determine the amount of difference between the frame information and the detected value (predetermined parameter to be adjusted) (S12).

Next, the parameter adjusting unit 87 refers to the data table and determines whether the difference amount exceeds the threshold value (S13). If the parameter adjustment means 87 determines that the difference amount exceeds the threshold value range, it adjusts the difference amount from the luminance and chromaticity of the image data of the partition image to be displayed (S14). After that, the display unit 6 displays the game image including the partition image with the color, brightness and saturation adjusted (S15). After that, the process proceeds to step S2. On the other hand, if the parameter adjusting means 87 determines that the difference amount does not exceed the threshold value range in step S13, that is, the difference amount is within the threshold value range, the parameter adjusting means 87 determines the color and brightness of the partition image of the display unit 6. and do not adjust saturation. After that, the display unit 6 displays a normal game image (the color, brightness and chroma of the partition image are not adjusted) (S1).

As described above, the above-described processing method can be created as a program running on a computer. These programs are realized through a central processing unit (CPU), microprocessor (microprocessor), graphic processing unit (GPU), random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), and the like.

«Second Embodiment»

Next, a second embodiment of the image display device of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

11 is a plan view schematically showing an image display device according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described, but the differences from the above-described first embodiment will be mainly described, and descriptions of the same items will be omitted. In addition, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the same structure as 1st Embodiment mentioned above.

The image display device 100 of this embodiment is different from the game device 1 of the image display device of the first embodiment in that the operation unit 3 is constituted by a touch panel and does not have a reading unit 4. Specifically, the image display device 100 of this embodiment is configured as a smart phone as shown in FIG. 11 . This image display device 100 includes a display unit 6 having a first area 611A and a second area 611B, a first sub operation unit 3A corresponding to the first area 611A, and a second area ( 611B) has an operation unit 3 having a second sub-operation unit 3B. The processing of the image displayed in the first area 611A by the first sub-manipulation section 3A and the processing of the image displayed in the second area 611B by the second sub-manipulation section 3B can be executed simultaneously.

The image display device 100 of this embodiment can operate the image in the first area 611A with the first sub-operation unit 3A while displaying images in the first area 611A and the second area 611B. , and the image of the second area 611B can be manipulated by the second sub-manipulation section 3B. And when a predetermined event is activated, the switching means 84 converts the display area to the entire screen area 61 in which the first area 611A and the second area 611B are combined. At the same time, the partitioning means 85 deletes the partitioning image. In this way, the image display device 100 of the present embodiment has the same effects as those of the image display device 1 of the first embodiment.

In this embodiment, predetermined parameters are adjusted so that the partition image displayed on the partition area 612 can be seen integrally with the outer edge of the display unit 6 (the outer edge of the case 2), so that each area 611A, 611B), the visibility of the display image is improved. Even though it is a small image display device such as a smart phone, it can give the player the impression that there are two game devices.

In addition, parameters do not have to be adjusted so that the partition image displayed on the partition area 612 is necessarily integral with the outer edge of the display unit 6 (case 2). For example, in order to improve realism when an event occurs, the color, brightness, and saturation may be temporarily adjusted to stand out more than the respective regions 611A and 611B.

Also, since the image display device 100 of this embodiment does not have the reader 4, the device itself can be miniaturized. In addition, since the operation unit 3 and the display unit 6 are overlapped in the image display device 100 of this embodiment, the device itself can be further miniaturized. Therefore, the cost required for the device can be reduced.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11 , the partition area 612 is a long area connected to the opposite long side of the display unit 6, but is not limited to this, for example, a shape in which a part thereof is cut off; It may have various shapes, such as a divided shape.

Fig. 16 is an enlarged view schematically showing the configuration of a display unit of a game device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Although the third embodiment will be described below, differences from the above-described first and second embodiments will be mainly described, and descriptions of the same matters will be omitted. In addition, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the same structure as 1st Embodiment mentioned above.

The game device 1 of this embodiment does not have the illuminance detector S as shown in FIG. 15, and the parameter adjustment means 87 is displayed in the partition area 612 through a user's direct operation input. It differs from the game device 1 of the image display device of the first embodiment in that it is configured to adjust predetermined parameters (hue, brightness, and chroma) of the image. In addition, in the game device 1 of this embodiment, the controller 8 does not include a parameter determining means 86.

In the game device 1 of the present embodiment, the parameter adjustment means 87 changes or adjusts predetermined parameters (color, brightness, and chroma) of the partition image in the partition area 612 by receiving an operation input from the user. This parameter adjustment unit 87 can change or adjust predetermined parameters of the partition image of the first partition area 612A or the second partition area 612B for each sub game device. In this case, the parameter adjustment means 87 can change or adjust predetermined parameters of these partition images for each of the upper region, the middle region, and the lower region of the first partition region 612A.

For example, as shown in Fig. 16, predetermined parameters of the partition image in the upper area of the first partition area 612A are displayed on the display unit 6 of the first sub game device 1A. Adjacent to each parameter name, a bar indicating the degree of the parameter and the current ratio value are displayed. For example, the higher the ratio value of the parameter "saturation", the higher the vividness of the color. The same applies to "hue" and "brightness". Further, the parameter adjustment means 87 can change or adjust the color parameters of the partition images of the upper region, the middle region, and the lower region all at once.

Accordingly, even in the game device 1 having this structure, predetermined parameters of the partition image can be adjusted according to the illumination around the display unit 6 so that the frame 62 and the partition image are seen integrally. Therefore, the same operation and effect as the game device 1 of the first embodiment can be obtained.

In addition, the operation control method of the image display device (game device) of the present embodiment is the same as the operation control method of the image display device of the first embodiment described above, except for a difference in processing related to parameter adjustment of the partition image. Specifically, the processing method for adjusting the parameters of the partition images of the present embodiment includes: (i) a method of adjusting predetermined parameters of the partition images by a user's direct manipulation input after or while displaying the game images on the display unit 6; and (ii) before displaying the game image on the display unit 6, a predetermined parameter of the partition image is adjusted in advance by a user's direct manipulation input.

In the above, the image display device and its operation control method of the present invention have been described based on preferred embodiments, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The configuration of each part can be replaced with any configuration having the same function. Any other means or components may also be added to the present invention. Furthermore, the present invention may combine any two or more configurations (characteristics) of each of the above embodiments.

Although the game device is composed of one game device, it may give the impression that it is composed of two separate and independent game devices.

According to the present invention, for example, in an image display device provided with two areas capable of independently displaying images in a display area of a display unit, a predetermined parameter of a part of an image displayed between the areas is adjusted and displayed in each area. It is possible to improve the visibility of the resulting image. In addition, since the predetermined parameter can be adjusted according to the illuminance around the display unit, image display with excellent visibility can be always performed regardless of the illuminance of the environment in which the image display device is used. In addition, by adjusting a predetermined parameter of a portion of the image, a portion of the image and a portion other than the display area of the display unit (eg, a frame portion) can be seen integrally, thereby improving the visibility of the image displayed in the predetermined area of the display area. . In this way, it is possible to provide an image display device capable of displaying images with excellent visibility in response to various image display formats. In addition, a method for controlling the operation of such an image display device can be provided. Therefore, the present invention has industrial applicability.
