鈕⑴b、上按紐lllc、右按紐lnd等。踏塾式控制器⑴ 一般由用戶之腳進行操作輸入。 用戶亦可同%使用控制器ι〇5及踏塾式控制m卜或者 可同時使用多個控制器105或多個踏墊式控制器ui。 於經由介面104而裝卸自如地連接之外部記憶體1〇6中, 可重寫地記憶有表示遊戲進行狀態之資料、通訊日誌、(記錄) 之資料等。用戶藉由經由控制器105或踏墊式控制器U1進 行指示輪入’可將該等資料適當地記錄於外部記憶體106 中〇 於安裝於DVD—ROM驅動器107中之DVD —R〇M中, 098109477 9 1379700 記錄有用於實現遊戲之程式、及遊戲附帶之影像資料或音訊 資料。 藉由CPU101之控制,DVD —ROM驅動器107對安裝於 其中之DVD —ROM進行讀出處理,讀出必要之程式或資 料,並將該等臨時記憶於RAM103等中。 影像處理部108將自DVD— ROM讀出之資料藉由 CPU101或影像處理部108所具備之影像運算處理器(未圖 示)進行加工處理之後,將其記錄至影像處理部108所具備 之訊框記憶體(未圖示)中。 訊框記憶體中記錄之影像資訊以特定之同步時序轉換成 視訊信號而輸出至連接於影像處理部108之監視器(未圖 示)。藉此,可顯示各種影像。 再者,影像運算處理器可高速進行二維影像之重疊運算或 α混合等之透過運算、各種飽和運算。 又,亦可高速執行下述運算,即:將配置於虛擬三維空間 且附加有各種紋理資訊之多邊形資訊,藉由Ζ緩衝器法進 行描繪,而獲得自特定之視點位置俯視配置於虛擬三維空間 中之多邊形之描繪影像。 進而,藉由CPU101與影像運算處理器進行協同動作,可 按照定義文字形狀之字型資訊,將字串作為二維影像而繪製 於訊框記憶體中,或者繪製於各多邊形表面。字型資訊係記 錄於ROM102中,但亦可利用DVD-ROM中所記錄之專用 098109477 10 1379700 之字型資訊。 音訊處理部109將自DVD-ROM讀出之音訊資料轉換成 類比音訊信號,並自連接於其之揚聲器(未圖示)輸出。又, 在CPU101之控制下’生成在遊戲之進行中應產生之音效或 樂曲資料,並使與此對應之音訊自揚聲器輸出。 NIC110係用以將資訊處理裝置1〇〇連接於網際網路等電 腦通訊網(未圖示)者’其係由遵照構成LAN(Local Area Network,區域網路)時所用之i〇bASE —T/100BASE—T規 格者’或者用以使用電話線連接於網際網路之類比數據機、 ISDNUntegrated Services Digital Network,整合服務數 位網路)數據機、ADSL(Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line,非對稱數位用戶線)數據機、用以使用有線電視線連 接於網際網路之有線電視數據機等,以及進行該等與 CPU101之媒介之介面(未圖示)所構成。 除此以外,資訊處理裝置100亦可使用硬碟等大容量外部 記憶裝置而構成,以發揮與ROM102、RAM103、外部記億 體106、DVD-ROM驅動器107中安裝之DVD —ROM等相 同的功能。 又’亦可採用連接用以受理來自用戶之字串編輯輸入之鍵 盤’或用以受理各種位置之指定及選擇輸入之滑鼠等的輸出 輸入裝置形態。 又’除了本實施形態之資訊處理裝置10〇以外,亦可利用 098109477 11 1379700 普通之電腦(通用之個人電腦等)作為本發明之遊戲裝置。例 如’普通的電腦與上述資訊處理裝置100同樣包含CPU、 RAM、ROM、DVD-ROM驅動器及NIC,且包含具備比資 處理裝置100間單之功能的影像處理部,而作為外部記憶 裝置’除了具有硬碟以外,還可利用軟碟、磁光碟、磁帶等。 又,利用鍵盤或滑鼠等而非控制器作為輸入裝置。並且,於 安裝好遊戲程式之後’當執行該程式時,可具有作為遊戲裝 置之功能。 以下,只要未作標註’則對於下述遊戲裝置300,藉由圖 1所示之資訊處理裝置100而加以說明。遊戲裝置300可視 需要而適當地置換為普通電腦之元件,該等實施形態亦包含 於本發明之範圍中。 (遊戲之說明) 圖3係表示藉由本發明之實施形態之遊戲裝置而實現之 遊戲晝面之一例之圖。以下,參照本圖對該遊戲進行說明。 遊戲晝面200係根據自安裝於DVD —ROM驅動器107中之 DVD —ROM所讀出的遊戲程式及遊戲資料而生成於監視器 上。如該圖所示,於該遊戲晝面200上,背景係整面顯示有 背景影像206 ’而基準影像201a ' 201b、2〇lc、201d、導引 影像 202a、202b、202c、202d、舞蹈計量表 203、得分 204、 訊息205重疊顯示於背景影像206上。得分204顯示於遊戲 晝面200之下段,係顯示至目前為止之累計分數者。訊息 098109477 12 1379700 205顯示於畫面中段,係顯示與玩家之操作巧拙相應之内容 文字者。例如,顯示「GREAT」、「PERFECT」、「GOOD」、 「BAD」等文字。 舞蹈計量表203顯示於晝面上段,包含根據遊戲操作之優 劣而伸縮之計量條。例如,當遊戲操作受到較高評價時,計 量條向右方向伸展,相反地,當遊戲操作僅受到較低評價 時’計量條向左方向收縮。並且,當計量條短於特定長度時, 遊戲將結束’玩家可觀察舞蹈計量表2的而判斷遊戲是否已 接近結束。於舞蹈計量表2G3之下側’依次顯示有基準影像 2〇la、2〇lb、201c、201d。基準影像 201a、2〇lb、2〇lc、2〇ld 係玩家用以判斷操作時機之基準。 即,導引影像202a與控制器1〇5所具備之方向按鈕之左 方向操作、及左按紐、以及踏墊式控制器U1所具備之左按 鈕11 la相對應;導引影像2〇2b與控制器1〇5所具備之方向 按紐之下方向操作、及下按紐、以及踏塾式控制器⑴所具 備之下按紐111b相對應,導引影像2G2e與控㈣⑼所具 備之方向按蚊上方向操作、及上胁、以及踏墊式控制器 ⑴所具備之上按紐llle相對應;導引影像期與控制器 ⑽所具備之方向触之右額操作及右触以及踏塾 式控制器111所具備之右按紐Uld 影像—、2 一之下方之相對較寬之畫= 域上,顯科隨著時狀推移㈣上方向移動之導引影像 098109477 13 1379700 202a、202b、202c、202d,於該導引影像 202a、202b、202c、 2〇2d重合於基準影像2〇la、2〇lb、2〇lc、2〇ld之時機,按 下與該等基準影像201a、201b、201c、201d相對應之方向 按紐或按紐,藉此可提高得分。例如,於該圖中,導引影像 202c將要重合於基準影像2〇lc。稍後玩家按下控制器ι〇5 之上按紐或踏墊式控制器111之上按鈕111c,或者對方向 按钮進行上方向操作,藉此便可提高得分。 再者’未必是僅在導引影像202a、202b、202c、202d完 全重合於基準影像201a、201b、201c、201d之時機,玩家 操作控制器105或踏墊式控制器m才可提高得分,係對應 於其一致度而給予得分。即,導引影像202a等與基準影像 2〇la等之位置越近,得分越高。再者,導引影像202a、202b、 2〇2c、202d之出現數、出現順序等係根據DVD-ROM等中 所記錄之遊戲程式及遊戲資料而決定。 導引影像202a ’ 202b,202c、202d具體而言係按如下方 式顯示。當遊戲音樂開始再生時,例如在將當前以後之2 小節之操作時機作為導引顯示範圍之情況下,CPU101自特 疋之資料讀出該範圍内所包含之操作時機。繼而,根據該特 定之貢料生成表示導引影像202a、202b、202c、202d之影 像貧料。該影像資料之顯示位置調整成:自操作時機較近者 起依次朝向下方排列操作時機較遠者。 此時’於基準影像2〇la、201b、201c、201d之下方,顯 098109477 1379700 示有表示對應之方向按紐之方向操作、或按紐之押下時機之 導引影像202a、202b、施、期。於該圖中各行顯示 有1個導引影像’但可根據操作時機之到來狀況而顯示有多 ··個。所生狀影像#料重疊於背景影像206而成為遊戲畫面 200之-部分。以上之處理以特定週期反覆。 — ㈣顯V範圍之先職此_下之賴音樂之演奏位置 相對應’每當進行處理時,以各特定量使導㈣示範圍自樂 • 曲之絲朝後方向逐步挪動。如此,導引影像2G2a、202b、 202c、2G2d配合著樂曲之進行而逐漸向上方移動。只要以 此方式顯不導引影像202a、202b、202c、202d,玩家便可 藉由遊戲晝面200而容易地掌握操作時機之到來狀況。 (遊戲裝置之構成) 其次,參闕4對本實施形態之遊戲裝置3⑻之概要構成 進行說明。遊戲裝置3〇〇具備受理部301及顯示部3〇2。以 # 下對遊戲裝置300之各構成元件進行說明。再者,各部分之 功能雖為相互關聯合作,但可視甩途適當變更各部分之採用 與否。 受理部3〇1、經由控制旨105或踏塾式控制^⑴而受理玩 家進行操作之輸入,並將該輸入資訊發送至後述之顯示部 302。如圖3所示,由於存在4個導引影像2〇2a、2〇2卜2〇2〇 202d,故而受理部3〇1具備至少4個輪入按鈕。控制器ι〇5 及踏墊式控制器111等具有作為受理部3〇1之功能。 098109477 15 1379700 再者,輸入按鈕並不限定於4個,受理部3〇1可具備與導 引影像之種類及數直相應之輸入按紐之種類及數量。 顯示部302自DVD — ROM等讀出必要之程式或資料,並 如圖3所示,將基準影像201a、201b、201c、2〇id、導引 影像 2〇2a、2〇2b、202c、2〇2d、舞蹈計量表 203、得分 2〇4、 訊息205等顯示於監視器上。又,顯示部302亦將模擬玩家 之動作的角色等視需要而顯示於監視器上。顯示部3〇2可於 遊戲畫面200上同時顯示多個導引影像,亦可將該多個導引 影像重疊顯示。 顯示部302根據所讀出之程式而使導引影像以通過基準 影像上之方式移動。例如’如圖3所示,導弓丨影像2〇2c以 通過基準影像201c上之方式移動。通過基準影像上之 後,導引影像202c朝向遊戲畫面200之上邊移動,自遊戲 晝面200消失。又,顯示部302藉由將對應於來自受理部 301之輸入資訊的導引影像自遊戲晝面2〇〇上消除而使該遊 戲進行。 又’顯示部302強調與基準影像之距離為最短之位置處所 存在的導引影像。具體而言,首先,CPU101測量導引影像 與基準影像之距離(間隔),藉此自多個導引影像中判斷^最 靠近基準影像之位置處所存在的導引影像(最短之導引影 像)。圖5係表示導引影像202a與基準影像2〇1&之距離之 圖。CPU101例如圖5所示,測量出與基準影像2〇1&及導 098109477 16 1379700 引影像2〇2a所I _ Λ a 九 表不之中心線之距離D1、基準影像201a之 下邊部與暮Ρ 衫像202a之上邊部之距離d2、基準影像201a 之上邊部與導弓丨旦 旦; 彳丨〜像202a之上邊部之距離D3。CPU101可 ;像之任意位置與導引影像之任意位置之距離。 CPU 101對所古措 厅有導引影像測量該距離,藉此判斷出與基準影 D 離為最短之導引影像。如圖5所示,距離D3與距離 4中距離D3較短,因而位於距離D3之位置處的導引影 像202a成為最短導引影像。 再者’當存在多個該最短導引影像時,相符之所有導引影 像成為該最短導引影像。 進而CPUl〇l判斷是否強調該最短導引影像。圖6A及 圖6B係表示強調最短導引影像202e之範圍之圖。當該最 短之導弓丨讀處於特定之範圍内時,顯示部搬強調該最短 導引〜像。此處’所謂特定之範圍,係指如ffi 6A及圖6B 所不,基準影像201a與最短導引影像202e相重疊之情況

The image information recorded in the frame memory is converted into a video signal at a specific synchronization timing and output to a monitor (not shown) connected to the image processing unit 108. Thereby, various images can be displayed. Furthermore, the image processing processor can perform high-speed superimposition calculation of two-dimensional images, transmission processing such as alpha blending, and various saturation calculations. Further, the calculation may be performed at a high speed, that is, the polygon information placed in the virtual three-dimensional space and having various texture information added thereto is drawn by the buffer method to obtain a view from the specific viewpoint position in the virtual three-dimensional space. The image of the polygon in the middle. Further, by the cooperation of the CPU 101 and the video processing processor, the character string can be drawn as a two-dimensional image in the frame memory or on the surface of each polygon in accordance with the font information defining the shape of the character. The font information is recorded in the ROM 102, but the font information of the dedicated 098109477 10 1379700 recorded in the DVD-ROM can also be utilized. The audio processing unit 109 converts the audio data read from the DVD-ROM into an analog audio signal, and outputs it from a speaker (not shown) connected thereto. Further, under the control of the CPU 101, sound effects or music data to be generated during the progress of the game are generated, and the audio corresponding thereto is output from the speaker. The NIC 110 is used to connect the information processing device 1 to a computer communication network (not shown) such as the Internet, which is used to comply with the i〇bASE-T/ used to form a LAN (Local Area Network). 100BASE-T specifiers 'or analog data modems connected to the Internet using a telephone line, ISDN Unified Services Digital Network, integrated services digital network) data machines, ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) data A cable television modem connected to the Internet using a cable television line, and the like (not shown) for communicating with the medium of the CPU 101. In addition, the information processing device 100 can be configured by using a large-capacity external memory device such as a hard disk, and can perform the same functions as those of the ROM 102, the RAM 103, the external memory 106, and the DVD-ROM to be mounted in the DVD-ROM drive 107. . Further, an output input device configuration for accepting a keyboard input from a user's string editing input or a mouse for accepting designation of various positions and selecting input may be employed. Further, in addition to the information processing device 10 of the present embodiment, a general computer (general personal computer or the like) of 098109477 11 1379700 can be used as the game device of the present invention.

In addition to hard disks, floppy disks, magneto-optical disks, magnetic tapes, and the like can also be used. Also, a keyboard or a mouse or the like is used instead of the controller as an input device. Also, after the game program is installed, when the program is executed, it can function as a game device. Hereinafter, the game device 300 described below will be described with reference to the information processing device 100 shown in Fig. 1 as long as it is not labeled. The game device 300 can be appropriately replaced with a component of a general computer as needed, and such embodiments are also included in the scope of the present invention. (Description of the game) Fig. 3 is a view showing an example of a game face realized by the game device according to the embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the game will be described with reference to this figure. The game screen 200 is generated on the monitor based on the game program and game data read from the DVD-ROM installed in the DVD-ROM drive 107. As shown in the figure, on the game surface 200, the background image 206' is displayed on the entire surface of the background, and the reference images 201a' 201b, 2〇lc, 201d, the guide images 202a, 202b, 202c, 202d, and the dance measurement are displayed. Table 203, score 204, and message 205 are displayed superimposed on the background image 206. The score 204 is displayed in the lower section of the game, and is displayed as the cumulative score up to the present. Message 098109477 12 1379700 205 is displayed in the middle of the screen, showing the content of the text corresponding to the player's operation. For example, characters such as "GREAT", "PERFECT", "GOOD", and "BAD" are displayed. The dance meter 203 is displayed on the upper surface and includes a measuring bar that is stretched according to the advantages of the game operation. For example, when the game operation is highly evaluated, the meter bar is stretched to the right, and conversely, when the game operation is only subjected to a lower evaluation, the meter bar is contracted to the left. Also, when the meter is shorter than a certain length, the game will end 'the player can observe the dance meter 2 and determine if the game is nearing the end. Reference images 2〇la, 2〇lb, 201c, and 201d are sequentially displayed on the lower side of the dance meter 2G3. The reference images 201a, 2〇lb, 2〇lc, 2〇ld are used by the player to determine the timing of the operation. That is, the guide image 202a corresponds to the left direction operation of the direction button provided in the controller 1〇5, the left button, and the left button 11 la of the pad controller U1; the guide image 2〇2b It corresponds to the direction of the direction button of the controller 1〇5, the lower button, and the button 111b of the pedal controller (1), and guides the direction of the image 2G2e and the control (4) (9). The upper direction operation and the right touch and the pedal of the Anopheles in the upward direction and the upper threat, and on the mat controller (1) are provided in the corresponding button; the guiding image period and the direction of the controller (10) are touched. The right button Uld image of the controller 111, and the relatively wide picture below the 2nd field, the guide image 098109477 13 1379700 202a, 202b, which moves in the upward direction with time (4) 202c, 202d, when the guide images 202a, 202b, 202c, 2〇2d coincide with the reference images 2〇la, 2〇lb, 2〇lc, 2〇ld, press the reference images 201a, 201b , 201c, 201d corresponding direction button or button, which can improve the score. For example, in the figure, the guide image 202c is to be superimposed on the reference image 2?lc. Later, the player presses the button above the controller ι〇5 or the button 111c above the pad controller 111, or the up direction operation of the direction button, thereby increasing the score. Furthermore, it is not necessarily the timing at which the guide images 202a, 202b, 202c, and 202d completely overlap the reference images 201a, 201b, 201c, and 201d, and the player operates the controller 105 or the pad controller m to increase the score. The score is given corresponding to its degree of agreement. That is, the closer the guide image 202a or the like is to the position of the reference image 2〇la or the like, the higher the score. Further, the number of occurrences of the guide images 202a, 202b, 2〇2c, and 202d, the order of appearance, and the like are determined based on the game program and game data recorded in the DVD-ROM or the like. The guide images 202a' 202b, 202c, 202d are specifically displayed as follows. When the game music starts to be reproduced, for example, when the operation timing of the current next two measures is used as the guidance display range, the CPU 101 reads the operation timing included in the range from the special data. Then, image poorness indicating the guided images 202a, 202b, 202c, and 202d is generated based on the specific tribute. The display position of the image data is adjusted so that the operation timing is relatively far from the time when the operation timing is closer. At this time, under the reference images 2〇la, 201b, 201c, and 201d, the display 098109477 1379700 shows the guidance images 202a and 202b indicating the direction of the corresponding direction button, or the pressing timing of the button. . In the figure, one guide image is displayed on each line, but it can be displayed according to the timing of the operation timing. The generated image # is superimposed on the background image 206 to become a part of the game screen 200. The above processing is repeated in a specific cycle. — (4) The predecessor of the V range is the position of the music. The corresponding position of the music is corresponding to each time. Whenever processing is performed, the guide (4) is displayed in a specific amount for each specific amount. • The wire of the song is gradually moved backward. In this manner, the guided images 2G2a, 202b, 202c, and 2G2d gradually move upward in accordance with the progress of the music. By simply displaying the images 202a, 202b, 202c, and 202d in this manner, the player can easily grasp the arrival timing of the operation timing by the game surface 200. (Configuration of Game Device) Next, the outline configuration of the game device 3 (8) of the present embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4 . The game device 3 includes an accepting unit 301 and a display unit 3〇2. Each component of the game device 300 will be described with # below. Furthermore, although the functions of each part are related to each other, it is possible to change the adoption of each part as appropriate. The receiving unit 301 receives the input of the operation by the player via the control command 105 or the pedal control ^(1), and transmits the input information to the display unit 302, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 3, since there are four guide images 2〇2a and 2〇2Bu 2〇2〇 202d, the receiving unit 3〇1 includes at least four round buttons. The controller 〇5, the pad controller 111, and the like have a function as the receiving unit 〇1. 098109477 15 1379700 Furthermore, the input buttons are not limited to four, and the receiving unit 3〇1 can have the type and number of input buttons corresponding to the type and number of the guide images. The display unit 302 reads necessary programs or materials from a DVD-ROM or the like, and as shown in FIG. 3, the reference images 201a, 201b, 201c, 2〇id, and guide images 2〇2a, 2〇2b, 202c, 2 〇2d, dance meter 203, score 2〇4, message 205, etc. are displayed on the monitor. Further, the display unit 302 also displays the character or the like simulating the action of the player on the monitor as needed. The display unit 3〇2 can simultaneously display a plurality of guide images on the game screen 200, and can superimpose and display the plurality of guide images. The display unit 302 moves the guided image so as to pass through the reference image based on the read program. For example, as shown in Fig. 3, the guide bow image 2〇2c is moved by the reference image 201c. After passing through the reference image, the guided image 202c moves toward the upper side of the game screen 200 and disappears from the game surface 200. Further, the display unit 302 causes the game to be played by erasing the guide image corresponding to the input information from the accepting unit 301 from the game surface. Further, the display unit 302 emphasizes the guidance image existing at the position where the distance from the reference image is the shortest. Specifically, first, the CPU 101 measures the distance (interval) between the guide image and the reference image, thereby judging from the plurality of guide images the guide image existing at the position closest to the reference image (the shortest guide image) . Fig. 5 is a view showing the distance between the guide image 202a and the reference image 2〇1 & For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the CPU 101 measures the distance D1 from the center line of the reference image 2〇1& and the guide 098109477 16 1379700, the image 2〇2a, the I _ Λ a, and the lower edge of the reference image 201a. The distance d2 from the upper side of the shirt image 202a, the upper side of the reference image 201a and the guide bow, and the distance D3 from the upper side of the image 202a. The CPU 101 can be at any position from any position of the guided image. The CPU 101 has a guide image for measuring the distance to the Guqin Hall, thereby judging the guide image which is the shortest from the reference image D. As shown in Fig. 5, the distance D3 is shorter than the distance D3 in the distance 4, so that the guided image 202a located at the position of the distance D3 becomes the shortest guide image. Furthermore, when there are a plurality of the shortest guide images, all of the guided images that match each other become the shortest guide image. Further, the CPU 101 determines whether or not to emphasize the shortest guide image. 6A and 6B are views showing the range in which the shortest guide image 202e is emphasized. When the shortest bow reading is within a specific range, the display unit emphasizes the shortest guide image. Here, the term "specific range" refers to a case where the reference image 201a overlaps with the shortest guide image 202e as in the case of ffi 6A and FIG. 6B, and when the shortest guide image 2〇2e crosses the fixed reference line. . As a method of emphasizing the shortest guide image, for example, the display unit 302 can perform redemption, a fluorescent color, or a color that is contrasted with the background color, and the display unit 302 can emphasize the shortest guide image. , you can change the hue, chroma and brightness of the image. 7A and 7B are views showing the positional relationship between the shortest guided image 2〇2e and the front surface and the back surface (back surface) of the guided image 2〇2a. As shown in FIG. 098109477 17 1379700 7A and FIG. 7B, the display unit 302 displays the shortest guide image 202e on the back side of the guide image 202a, and conversely displays the guide image 202a on the back side of the shortest guide image 202e. side. 8A and 8B are diagrams showing switching of the shortest guide image 202e. As shown in Fig. 8A, the display unit 302 continues the emphasis display of the shortest guide image 202e until the shortest guide image 202e passes over the reference image 201a, or until the position of the shortest guide image 202e coincides with the position of the reference image 201a. When the shortest guide image 202e passes over the reference image 201a, the display unit 302 stops the highlight display of the shortest guide image 202e and returns to the display before the emphasis. Next, as shown in Fig. 8B, when the guide image that is within the specific range and has not passed the reference image 201a is judged to be the shortest guide image 202e, the display unit 302 highlights the shortest guide image 202e. When the shortest guide image 202e crosses the reference image, the image returns to the display state of the guide image before the highlight display, and then the shortest guide image corresponding to the display is emphasized. 9A to 9C are views showing the degree of emphasis of the shortest guide image 202e based on the distance from the reference image 201a. Further, as shown in Figs. 9A to 9C, the display unit 302 can stepwise emphasize the shortest guide image 202e based on the distance from the reference image 201a. The closer the distance to the reference image is, the more the shortest guide image is highlighted. When the shortest guide image enters the specific range, the display unit 302 starts to emphasize the shortest guide image and gradually enhances the emphasis of the shortest guide image. 098109477 18 1379700 Furthermore, the display change speed from the start of the emphasis display to the maximum emphasis display can be any speed such as a fixed speed or an exponential function speed. In addition, it is emphasized that the stage of guiding the image can be any stage such as four stages or 16 stages, and the displayed color is also an arbitrary color. Figs. 10A and 10B are views showing an example of emphasizing the specific image 202f of the shortest guide image 202e. Further, the display unit 3〇2 can emphasize not only the display of the shortest guide image itself but also the shortest guide as shown in Figs. 10A and 10B.
