TW557226B - Multimedia game apparatus and method for embedding input images of players into game screens - Google Patents

Abstract

A multimedia game device includes a processing device, a memory medium device and a touch-sensitive display. A game program is stored in the memory medium device. The processing device executes the game program and displays game screens on the touch-sensitive display. Players input arbitrary images, e.g. signature, using the touch-sensitive display. The arbitrary images are later mixed into game screens and displayed on the touch-sensitive display. Thus, the players need not type characters and still have their signatures shown on a top-score list screen of a game.

Description

557226 5. Description of the invention (1) Field of the invention: The present invention relates to a multimedia game device and a design method, and particularly to a multimedia game device and a design method using a touch screen. Background of the Invention: Due to the advancement of electronic technology and the increase of computer computing speed, today's multimedia games can more and more meet people's needs. In addition to being executed on ordinary home computers, a large proportion of today's multimedia games are executed on game-specific devices. These game-specific devices include a variety of domestic play instruments and large electric toys. In order to simplify the operation and increase the affinity, most of the domestic play instruments or large electric toys have simplified the input device into several shooting keys and direction keys. For example, please refer to the schematic diagram of the conventional large video game 10 shown in FIG. The large-scale video game 10 has an output screen 103, a game execution device (not shown), and shooting buttons 101 and arrow buttons 102. The shooting button 1 0 1 and the direction button 10 2 are used as input devices when the player is playing a game. Although most games can be played with only a few keystrokes, problems arise when you need to enter player-related information, such as the name of a player. For example, in the example in Figure 1, when the player passes the level or the score has broken the record, a keyboard icon 1 0 3 1 appears on the screen. With the keyboard icon 1 0 3 1, the player uses the shooting button 1 0 1 and the direction button 1 0 2 to enter text. However, such a design does not actually fit the game

557226 5. Description of invention (2) The affinity that should be possessed. After all, players may need to complete the input of a name for quite a long time, especially when the keyboard is Chinese. What's more, when a game device is sold to multiple countries, `` In order for the player to enter a name, you must Write multiple sets of icons, such as Chinese, Japanese, Kantizi, German keyboard icons, etc. 'This will increase the cost and complexity of game program development. However, providing a physical keyboard for entering the player's name or other information also increases the cost and complexity of the game device. Objects and Summary of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned devices, most of the input devices are loaded with icons such as keyboards and other icons that need to be input, and the main board of the present invention will be added to the game, so that the present invention and the processing device can be provided. Note 5 Ji Yi media reads and outputs the game day and night. Execute this input command. Players refer to the lost invention, put the name of the home, simplify the name of the home, input the complexity of the home, and enter the target home. When performing this game, one of the data in the scene or its design is included. The device has a game program. As mentioned in the touch, due to the general shooting and arrow keys dedicated to games, you will have to use it when you want to enter text. So cost. ’Is to provide a method that does not require additional keys. Includes touch programs with touch screens, control screens, memory media devices, and game programs. The processing device inputs a command from the processing device using a touch screen. When an input screen is displayed on the control screen of the processing device, an arbitrary graphic is input on the screen, for example

Description of the invention (4) Language, combination language, PASCAL language, FORTRAN language and various script languages, such as JAVA SCRIPT, VB Script, etc. As for the touch screen 203, the embodiments include various touch-sensitive or pressure-sensitive devices such as resistive, inductive, or electromagnetic. It must be pointed out that, in addition to the touch screen 203, processing device 2 (H, and memory media device 202) described above, the multimedia game device 2 0 may also include other devices such as a team, input devices such as buttons, and coins. And other devices. However, for brevity of description, such devices are not described in detail here.

The processing device 2 01 reads the game program 2021 stored in the memory medium device 2 02 and executes the game program 2021. When this game program 2021 is executed, the game day surface 203 1 is presented to the player 22 through the touch screen 203. Next, “eye father” refers to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. When the game progresses to the input of the player 22's material, first, the processing device 201 displays an input screen 2 0 3 1 on the touch screen 2 0 3 according to an input instruction of the game program 20 2 丨 (step 30). Next, the player inputs the day and the day 2031 according to this input, and enters an arbitrary figure on the touch screen 230 (step 32). The processing device 201 receives an arbitrary graphic input by the player via the touch screen 2 03, and in a subsequent game, mixes the arbitrary graphic and displays it on the game screen (step 34).

Examples of this arbitrary graphic include the player's signature, or any graffiti.
