Description

METHOD, APPARATUS AND RECORDING MEDIUM FOR PROVIDING MUSIC GAME}

The present invention relates to a technology for providing a music game, and more particularly, to provide a music game that can produce a judgment result directing effect that anyone can recognize easily, quickly and intuitively, regardless of nationality and language differences. A method, apparatus, and recording medium.

Background Art Conventionally, the music game judges that the smaller the difference between the operation timing necessary for accurately manipulating the indicator displayed on the game screen and the operation timing by the user, the more accurate the operation is.

Then, the interval between the operation timing necessary for precisely manipulating the indicator and the operation timing actually input by the user is divided into predetermined sections, and the determination is performed according to each section, so that the user's operation is performed and information on the determination result is displayed on the display. The output is common. At this time, the form of outputting information on the determination result is mainly expressed by a character, that is, a word. As an example, when the input is performed in the most accurate input section, the words “Great”, “Good”, “Miss” and “Bad” are generally displayed sequentially from the next section. Although there may be a difference in word selection according to a music game for each device, the same is true in that the judgment result is displayed in the form of letters.

However, the conventional method of displaying the determination result in the form of letters has a disadvantage in that a user who does not know the language cannot recognize the determination itself, and the types of words used for the determination are ambiguous. That is, the general user cannot recognize that the word "Perfect" means higher operation accuracy than the word "Great", and it is difficult to immediately recognize a rapidly changing word when not familiar with such words. Even if you know the word meaning the result of the determination may not be intuitively recognized in the fast pace of the music game.

In this context, the present invention has a main object to provide a music game that can produce a decision result directing effect that can be intuitively recognized quickly and easily without any confusion, regardless of nationality and language.

In order to achieve the above object, in one aspect, the present invention, the operation determination unit for determining the operation accuracy of the operation based on the operation signal input according to the user's operation in the music game; And a determination result directing unit for displaying the determined number of determination result directing objects on the game screen according to the operation accuracy.

In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for providing a music game in a music game device, comprising: an operation signal input step of receiving an operation signal according to a user's operation in a music game; An operation determination step of determining an operation accuracy of the operation based on the operation signal; And a determination result presentation step of displaying the determined number of determination result presentation objects on the game screen according to the operation accuracy.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is an effect of providing a music game capable of generating a directing result that can be intuitively recognized by anyone regardless of nationality and language.

In this regard, the apparatus 100 for providing a music game according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, the operation of the operation based on the operation signal input according to the user's operation in the music game An operation determination unit 130 for determining the accuracy, and a determination result presentation unit 140 for displaying the number of determination result presentation objects controlled in accordance with the operation accuracy determined by the operation determination unit 130 on the game screen. .

In addition, in the apparatus 100 for providing a music game according to an embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 1, an indicator for indicating an operation timing or an operation position of a user's operation in a music game is displayed on a game screen. It may further include an indicator display control unit 110 for controlling to be displayed on the image.

The indicator displayed on the game screen may be a fixed indicator which is fixedly displayed at a specific position or an arbitrary position according to the music score of the music, or may be a mobile indicator displayed while moving according to the playback flow of music speed or score. In addition, the indicator may include both a fixed indicator which is fixedly displayed at a specific position or an arbitrary position according to the music score, and a mobile indicator displayed while moving according to the playback flow of music speed or sheet music. In addition, the indicator may be displayed in any color, shape, position and size, all indicators may be displayed in the same color, shape, position and size, etc., the color, shape, position and size of each indicator, etc. All of these may be displayed differently. One or more of the color, shape, position, and size of the indicator may be applied or changed according to a device setting value or a user setting value.

In addition, the apparatus 100 for providing a music game according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes an operation signal input unit 120 that receives an operation signal generated by a user operating the operation apparatus, as shown in FIG. 1. It may also include. Here, the operation device may be, for example, various types of buttons or a touch screen.

Below, the indicator display control unit 110, the operation signal input unit 120, the operation determination unit 130 and the determination result director 140 included in the apparatus 100 for providing a music game according to an embodiment of the present invention Etc. are explained in more detail.

The user operates the operation device at a specific timing or a specific position while watching the indicator displayed on the game screen by the indicator display control unit 110, and when the operation signal input unit 120 receives an operation signal, the operation determination unit 130. Determines the operation accuracy of the operation on the indicator with respect to the input operation signal.

In the operation determination performed by the operation determination unit 130, that is, the method of determining (determining) the operation accuracy, the operation timing or operation position and the preset operation timing required for accurately manipulating the indicator displayed on the game screen are determined according to the user's operation. The operation accuracy can be determined based on the difference between the operation timing of the operation signal or the operation position, or the operation accuracy for the operation can be determined based on the display state of the indicator displayed on the game screen and the input state or presence of the operation signal. Can be.

If the operation accuracy is judged on the basis of the difference between the preset operation timing or operation position necessary for accurately manipulating the indicator displayed on the game screen and the operation timing or operation position of the operation signal according to the user's operation, the indicator is displayed. Set the operation timing or operation position necessary for accurate operation and the interval of operation timing or operation position of the operation signal actually input by the user by dividing the interval into predetermined sections, and perform the judgment according to each section, and operate the accuracy according to the determination result. Can be determined. When the operation signal actually input by the user is input in the section closest to the operation timing or operation position necessary for accurately operating the indicator, the highest operation accuracy can be determined, and the operation accuracy can be determined sequentially from the next section. Can be.

On the other hand, when the two indicators (for example, the fixed indicator and the movable indicator) are displayed on the game screen by the indicator display control unit 110, the operation determining unit 130 displays the fixed indicator displayed on the game screen. The operation accuracy is judged on the basis of the difference between the preset operation timing or operation position required for accurate operation and the operation timing or operation position of the operation signal according to the user's operation, or the display state of the two indicators displayed on the game screen; The operation accuracy of the operation can be determined based on the input state or presence of the operation signal.

If the operation determination unit 130 determines the operation accuracy of the operation based on the display state of the two indicators displayed on the game screen and the input state or the presence of the operation signal, the two indicators overlap. The operation accuracy can be determined based on the display state of the indicator according to the degree of matching, the position, the time point, or the like, and the input state of the operation signal according to the input time point, the input position, or the presence or absence of the operation signal.

For example, at the time of inputting the operation signal, the degree of overlapping or coinciding with the two indicators can be grasped, and the operation accuracy can be determined according to the grasped degree. In addition, it is also possible to determine whether the two indicators overlap or coincide with the input position of the operation signal is the same or how close they are and determine the operation accuracy according to the result of the determination. In addition, when the two indicators overlap or coincide with each other, the operation accuracy may be determined by determining whether the operation signal is input. Here, the operation accuracy may be one of a range of values, a value of one of several levels, or one of two values according to noon.

As described above, the indicator is displayed on the game screen by the indicator display control unit 110 so that each time the operation signal input unit 120 receives an operation signal according to the user's operation while the music game is in progress, the operation panel The government unit 130 determines the operation accuracy of the operation with respect to the operation signal, and the determination result directing unit 140 is based on the determination result (ie, operation accuracy) of the operation signal of the operation determination unit 130. The determination result directing object is displayed at a position corresponding to the display position of the indicator on the game screen.

In the above-described determination result directing unit 140 displaying the determination result directing object on the game screen based on the determination result (i.e., operation accuracy) for the operation signal, the determination result directing object is proportional to the determined operation accuracy. The number of can be controlled.

That is, the higher the accuracy of the operation according to the determination result of the operation, the higher the determination result directing unit 140 displays a larger number of determination result directing objects for the operation. In addition, the same number of judgment result directing objects are displayed for two operations having the same judgment result operation accuracy.

As described above, by controlling the number of objects for judging the result of the determination so as to be proportional to the accuracy of the operation according to the result of determination, the user is provided with a direction of effect according to the result of the determination. Regardless of the nationality or language of the user of the music game, the determination result can be recognized quickly and intuitively through the number of objects.

In addition, the above-described determination result directing unit 140 may control one or more of the color, display pattern, shape, position and size of the determination result directing object according to the operation accuracy or the number of determination result directing objects. That is, when the operation accuracy of the two operation signals or the number of the determination result presentation objects are different, the determination result directing unit 140 is one of the color, shape, position, and size of the determination result presentation object for each of the two operation signals. The above is displayed differently.

For example, the operation accuracy for the first operation is different from the operation accuracy for the second operation, and the number of determination result presentation objects displayed for the first operation is seven, and the determination result presentation object displayed for the second operation is If the number of 8 is 8, the user may not be able to quickly and intuitively distinguish between 7 and 8 differences in the fast-paced music game flow. In this case, the seven judgment result presentation objects displayed for the first operation are displayed in green (or similar colors, respectively), and the eight judgment result presentation objects displayed for the second operation are displayed in blue (or blue, respectively). By displaying the same color, the user can recognize the judgment result for the first operation and the judgment result for the second operation easily and quickly and intuitively even in the flow of the fast-paced music game. In other words, even if the number of the determination result presentation objects is not counted, the color of the determination result presentation object can be intuitively known as the determination result of the operation accuracy.

In other words, even if the number of judgment result presentation objects is displayed differently for each operation, if the number of judgment result presentation objects displayed for each operation is similar and the number of judgment result presentation objects is not quickly and intuitively distinguished, the judgment result In addition to displaying the number of the production objects differently, the judgment result displays one or more of the color, display pattern, shape, position, and size of the production object differently, so that the user can see how high and low the accuracy of the operation is. It is easier and faster to intuitively recognize what the judgment result is.

The apparatus 100 for providing a music game according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described above. Hereinafter, a method of displaying an indicator on a game screen and a method of displaying a determination result directing object on a game screen will be described. It will be described in detail with reference to the exemplary view of Figures 2 to 7.

Prior to the description with reference to the exemplary drawings of FIGS. 2 to 7, the indicator displayed on the game screen for the music game of the present invention guides the operation timing or operation position at which the user operates the operation device. An object or indicator to do this.

The indicator displayed on the game screen may be a fixed indicator which is fixedly displayed at a specific position or an arbitrary position according to the music score of the music, or may be a mobile indicator displayed while moving according to the playback flow of music speed or score. . In addition, the indicator displayed on the game screen includes both a fixed indicator which is fixedly displayed at a specific position or an arbitrary position according to the music score, and a mobile indicator that is displayed while moving according to the playback flow of music speed or score. You may. In this way, the user's operation method or operation determination method in the music game may vary depending on the characteristics of the indicator displayed on the game screen.

2 is a diagram illustrating an indicator displayed on a game screen for a music game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 illustrates an example of an indicator displayed on a game screen, and the indicator displayed on the game screen includes one of the fixed indicator 220 and the movable indicator 210. The stationary indicator 220 and one of the movable indicator 210 is shown by way of example.

Referring to FIG. 2, the fixed indicator 220 is fixedly displayed at a specific position or an arbitrary position on the game screen according to the music score. The movable indicator 210 is displayed while moving toward the fixed indicator 220 in accordance with the flow of music, music score, or the like. In this case, the moving path of the mobile indicator 210 may be a specific path such as a straight line or a curve or an arbitrary path. The moving speed of the mobile indicator 210 may be determined according to the speed of music, game options or game conditions. Alternatively, the music game may be changed and applied in the whole music game or may be changed and applied during the music game.

In FIG. 2, the fixed indicator 220 and the movable indicator 210 are shown in a circle, but this is only an example for convenience of description and may be displayed in a different form from the circle. In addition, the movable indicator 210 may be circular and the fixed indicator 220 may be bar type, and the movable indicator 210 may be bar type and the fixed indicator 220 may be circular.

In addition, the fixed indicator 220 and the mobile indicator 210 may be fixed according to the default setting value as well as the shape, color, position and size, or may be changed according to the device setting value or the user setting value.

As described above, the number, type, shape, color, position and size of the indicator can be arbitrarily changed. However, in the present specification, for convenience of explanation, the indicator displayed on the game screen is two or more, the two or more indicators include a fixed indicator 220 and a mobile indicator 210 moving toward it, and the fixed indicator ( It is assumed that 220 and the mobile indicator 210 are displayed in a circular shape.

As described above, while the music game is in progress, an indicator for indicating the operation timing or the operation position on the game screen is displayed while dynamically changing in accordance with the flow of music playback, and the user can watch the indicator changing on the game screen. The operation timing or operation position at which the operation apparatus should be operated is determined, and the operation apparatus is operated at the determined operation timing, or the determined operation position is operated. Accordingly, when the operation signal is input, the operation determination unit 130 determines the operation accuracy of the user's operation for inputting the operation signal based on the input state of the operation signal and the display state of the indicator.

In the following, the input state of the operation signal and the display state of the indicator affecting the operation accuracy determination by the operation determination unit 130 will be described.

The information on the input state of the manipulation signal affecting the determination of the manipulation accuracy may include information on one or more of an input time point, an input position and the presence or absence of the manipulation signal. In addition, the information on the display state of the indicator affecting the operation accuracy determination may include information on one or more of the degree, position and time point, etc., in which the two indicators overlap or coincide.

For example, at the time of inputting the operation signal, the degree of overlapping or coinciding with the two indicators can be grasped, and the operation accuracy can be determined according to the grasped degree. In addition, it is also possible to determine whether the two indicators overlap or coincide with the input position of the operation signal is the same or how close they are and determine the operation accuracy according to the result of the determination. In addition, when the two indicators overlap or coincide with each other, the operation accuracy may be determined by determining whether the operation signal is input. Here, the operation accuracy may be one of a range of values, a value of one of several levels, or one of two values according to noon.

In the display state of the above-described indicator, the information on the degree to which the two indicators (the fixed indicator 220 and the mobile indicator 210) overlap or coincide is, for example, a position value and a distance value of each indicator. This can be figured out. A method of grasping information about the degree to which two instructions overlap or coincide will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

3 is a diagram illustrating a method of confirming a display state of an indicator displayed on a game screen for a music game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 3, it is assumed that the center position value P1 (x1, y1) of the movable indicator 210 is a radius R1, the center position value of the fixed indicator 220 is P2 (x2, y2) and the radius is R2.

Referring to FIG. 3, the operation determining unit 130 determines a distance value d between the center position value P2 (x2, y2) of the fixed indicator 220 and the center position value P1 (x1, y1) of the movable indicator 210. The degree of overlapping or coinciding with the two indicators (the fixed indicator 220 and the mobile indicator 210) can be determined according to the size of the calculated distance value d.

For example, if the distance value d is greater than the sum of the radius R2 of the fixed indicator 220 and the radius R1 of the movable indicator 210, the fixed indicator 220 and the movable indicator 210 do not overlap or match. It is a state. If the manipulation signal is input in the display state of the indicator, the manipulation accuracy of the manipulation may be zero.

If the distance value d is equal to or smaller than the sum of the radius R2 of the fixed indicator 220 and the radius R1 of the movable indicator 210 and the distance value d is greater than zero, the fixed indicator 220 and the movable indicator ( 210 is a mismatched and overlapping display state.

If the operation signal is input in the display state of the indicator or the operation signal is input at the position where the fixed indicator 220 and the movable indicator 210 overlap, the operation accuracy of the operation is lower than the maximum operation accuracy, but zero. Can be higher than.

If the distance value d is zero, the fixed indicator 220 and the movable indicator 210 are in a fully matched display state. If the operation signal is input in the display state of such an indicator or the operation signal is input at a position where the fixed indicator 220 and the movable indicator 210 coincide (that is, when the coincidence position and the input position are the same), the corresponding operation. The operation accuracy of is the maximum operation accuracy.

The display state of the indicator as described above will be exemplarily described with reference to FIG. 4 according to the flow of change, and the screen in which the determination result of the operation accuracy is produced according to the display state of the indicator and the input state of the operation signal corresponding to each of them. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7.

4 is a diagram showing some display states of the indicator at the time of input of the operation signal in the music game according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is an exemplary view of controlling and displaying the number of determination result presentation objects in order to produce a determination result according to an input state of an operation signal and a display state of an indicator in a music game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 4A illustrates that the movable indicator 210 moves toward the fixed indicator 220 so that the center position value P2 (x2, y2) of the fixed indicator 220 and the center position value P1 of the movable indicator 210 are shown. The distance value d of (x1, y1) is equal to or less than the sum of the radius R2 of the fixed indicator 220 and the radius R1 of the movable indicator 210 and the distance value d is greater than zero (ie, 0 <). d = D1 ≦ R1 + R2), the fixed indicator 220 and the movable indicator 210 are exemplarily shown in an overlapping display state. When an operation signal is input in the display state of such a supporter, the operation accuracy may be higher than the minimum operation accuracy (eg 0%) and lower than the maximum operation accuracy (eg 100%), assuming that the operation accuracy is 30%. do. Fig. 5A shows the determination result corresponding to the determination result of the operation accuracy.

4B shows that the movable indicator 210 moves more toward the fixed indicator 220 than in FIG. 4A, so that the center position value P2 (x2, y2) of the fixed indicator 220 is increased. The distance value d of the center position value P1 (x1, y1) of the movable indicator 210 becomes D2, which is a distance value d smaller than D1, which is the distance value d in FIG. 4A (that is, 0 <d = D2 < D1 &lt; R1 + R2), the fixed indicator 220 and the movable indicator 210 do not coincide with each other. When the operation signal is input in the display state of such a supporter, the operation accuracy may be higher than the minimum operation accuracy (eg, 0%) and lower than the maximum operation accuracy (eg, 100%), and the operation accuracy of FIG. We assume a 60% higher than the operating accuracy of 30% in a). Fig. 5B shows the determination result corresponding to the determination result of the operation accuracy.

FIG. 4C shows that the movable indicator 210 moves more toward the fixed indicator 220 than in FIG. 4B, so that the center position value P2 (x2, y2) of the fixed indicator 220 is increased. The distance value d of the center position value P1 (x1, y1) of the movable indicator 210 becomes zero, and the fixed indicator 220 and the movable indicator 210 are in a fully displayed state. When an operation signal is input in the display state of such a supporter, the operation accuracy may be the maximum operation accuracy, and assume that the operation accuracy at this time is 100%. Fig. 5C shows the determination result corresponding to the determination result of the operation accuracy.

The operation accuracy is determined based on the calculated distance value d between the two indicators. In order to determine the operation accuracy by dividing the operation accuracy into several steps, the distance value section between the two indicators corresponding to each operation accuracy is set in advance, and the user Find the distance value section for each operation accuracy, which has set the distance value section to which the calculated distance value d between the two indicators when the operation signal is input, according to the operation of, and calculate the operation accuracy corresponding to the found distance value section. It can be determined as

As described above with reference to FIG. 1, the determination result directing unit 140 controls and displays the number of determination result directing objects so as to proportion the operation accuracy and the number of determination result directing objects. Therefore, the operation accuracy is determined to be 30% with respect to the operation signal input in the display state of the indicator shown in Fig. 4A, and to the operation signal input in the display state of the indicator shown in Fig. 4B. Since the operation accuracy is determined to be 60%, and the operation accuracy is determined to be 100% with respect to the operation signal input in the display state of the indicator shown in Fig. 4C, the higher the operation accuracy, the more judgment results. The judgment result can be produced by displaying the direction object.

Referring to (a) of FIG. 5, the result of the determination on the operation signal input to the indicator display state of FIG. 4 (a), that is, two determination result directing objects O1 and O2 with respect to the operation accuracy 30%. Can be displayed.

Referring to (b) of FIG. 5, the result of the determination on the operation signal input to the indicator display state of FIG. 4 (b), that is, the three determination result directing objects O3, O4, O5) can be displayed.

Referring to (c) of FIG. 5, the result of the determination on the operation signal input to the indicator display state of FIG. 4 (c), that is, the four determination result directing objects O6, O7, O8, O9) can be displayed.

As shown in FIG. 5, the fixed indicator 220 and the movable indicator 210 may be displayed in the same state, and the number of determination results may be displayed as much as the adjusted number of the indicator. It is possible to leave the display unit 220 and the movable indicator 210 (the display state of FIG. 4) as it is, and display the number of determination result directed objects.

In addition, the determination result presentation screen, around the fixed indicator 220 and the mobile indicator 210, in order to further enhance the determination result rendering effect or to indicate that the user's operation signal is input, a determination result presentation object such as a star shape ( 500) can be displayed.

On the other hand, in Fig. 5, the determination result directing objects O1 to O9 displayed according to the determined operation accuracy are displayed in the same star shape and the same color, regardless of the type of the determination result (i.e., the value of the operation accuracy). In some cases, depending on the type of the determination result (i.e., the value of the operation accuracy), the color of the determination result presentation object may be different, the shape, the display pattern, or the like may be different, or the display position may be different. Further, even with the same determination result (i.e., the same operation accuracy), the color, form, display pattern, display position, etc. of the determination result directed object may be different.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating not only control of the number of objects for directing a result of determination in FIG. 5 but also a determination in order to produce a determination result according to an input state of an operation signal and a display state of an indicator in a music game according to an embodiment of the present invention. Result The result of the judgment result rendering effect is also displayed by controlling the color of the object.

Referring to Figs. 6A, 6B, and 6C, which correspond to Figs. 5A, 5B, and 5C, respectively, a red determination result is obtained for a determination result of 30% operation accuracy. The presentation object (O1, O2) is displayed, green for the judgment result with the operation accuracy of 60%, and the judgment result with the production object (O3, O4, O5) is displayed, and blue for the judgment result with the operation accuracy of 30%. As a result of the determination, the production objects O6, O7, O8 and O9 can be displayed. Here, red, green and blue are examples only, and may be in any other color. The color may be displayed in a completely different color depending on the type of the determination result (ie, the value of the operation accuracy), or may be displayed in the same color series with different brightness depending on the type of the determination result (ie, the value of the operation accuracy). .

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating not only control of the number of decision result directing objects in FIG. 5 but also determination in order to produce a judgment result according to an input state of an operation signal and a display state of an indicator in a music game according to an embodiment of the present invention. Result The result of the determination result production effect screen is also displayed by controlling the shape of the object.

Referring to (a), (b) and (c) of FIG. 7 respectively corresponding to (a), (b) and (c) of FIG. 5, the determination result directing entity is made for the determination result having an operation accuracy of 30%. (O1, O2) is displayed in a circle, the judgment result for the judgment result with an operation accuracy of 60%, and the judgment result directing object (O3, O4, O5) is displayed in a rectangle, and the judgment result for the judgment result with an operation accuracy of 30%.
