Game device, game processing method, information recording medium, and program

The present invention relates to a suitable game device, game processing method, information recording medium, and program for the player to easily switch the game mode.

A game in which the mode of the game can be switched at any time by pressing a predetermined button provided on an input device (i.e., controller) operated by the player is known. For example, a game system in which a player selects a mode corresponding to each mode of a game and switches between a weapon selection mode, a movement control mode, and a screen control mode is disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2002-018128.

On the other hand, there is also a game in which a plurality of controllers can be connected to one game device while using one or a plurality of controllers to play.

However, depending on the type of game, the scene of the game, etc., the player has to set a mode in which a plurality of controllers are used together while playing the game mode; there is also a desire to switch to using only a specific controller, but Do not use other controllers to make the game play in mode. However, for the player, in order to switch the mode of the game, the game is temporarily interrupted every time, and the behavior of pressing the button is very troublesome.

The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and an object thereof is to provide an appropriate game device, game processing method, information recording medium, and program for enabling a player to easily switch a game mode.

A game device according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a first input accepting unit, a second input accepting unit, an obtaining unit, a setting unit, and a progress unit.

The first input accepting unit accepts a first type of instruction input given by the player via the first input device.

The second input accepting unit accepts a second type of instruction input given by the player via the second input device.

The acquisition unit acquires the amount of change in the position or the pointing time of the second input device within a predetermined time.

When the acquired amount of change is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the setting unit sets the game mode to the double determination mode. If this is not the case, the game mode is set to the single determination mode.

In the case where the mode of the game is the double determination mode, the game is performed by the first type of instruction input and the second type of instruction input. When the mode is the single determination mode, the process is performed. The game is made by the first indication input.

The game device of the present invention can connect at least two input devices. The input device is used by a player to give an instruction input to the game device, that is, a device called a controller, and includes, for example, a touch panel type and a grip type that can be used for various types of games. , floor mat type controller; keyboard; mouse; trackball; touch panel. Further, a controller used for a specific game, such as a gun controller of a shooting game; a joystick type controller of a flight simulation game, is also included in the input device.

For example, in a state where the first input device and the second input device are connected to the game device, a player can play a game. Also, multiple players can play the same game together.

Among the first input device and the second input device, at least the second input device is a player that can position and/or point to a changed input device. Typically, the second input device is an input device that the player can hold and attach to any part of the body. If the player moves his hand or moves the body, the position and/or orientation of the second input device also changes.

The instruction input given to the game device via the first input device is referred to as a first type of instruction input, and the instruction input given to the game device via the second input device is referred to as a second type of instruction input, and is distinguished. For example, if the first input device has buttons B1 and B2 and the second input device has buttons B3 and B4, the first type of indication input is input by the player pressing the button B1 or B2, and the second indication input system is It is input by the player pressing the button B3 or B4.

The game device of the present invention is configured to acquire at least a change amount of a position of the second input device, and/or a change amount of the pointing direction, and/or a change amount of the posture among the first input device and the second input device. The game device can obtain all of these changes, and can obtain any one or more changes. Further, the game device sets the game mode based on the acquired amount of change or a part of the amount of change.

In the mode of the game in which the game device of the present invention is executed, there are a double determination mode in which the game is based on both the first instruction input and the second instruction input, and a single determination mode in which the game is based on the first instruction input. .

For example, in the dance game in which the hand and the foot controller are held by the foot and the hand held type controller is moved, the double judgment mode uses both the floor mat type controller and the grip type controller (that is, both the foot and the hand). The mode in which the game is played, the single determination mode is a mode in which the game is played using only the floor type controller (ie, the foot).

Further, for example, in a game suitable for a personal computer using a keyboard and a mouse, the double determination mode is a mode in which the keyboard and the mouse are used for the game, and the single determination mode is a mode in which the game is played using only the keyboard (or the mouse).

When the game is performing in the double determination mode and the acquired amount of change is less than a predetermined threshold value, the game device determines that the input device corresponding to the acquired amount of change is not used by the player, but is changed to be from the game. It is determined that the instruction input of the input device that is not used has a single determination mode that does not affect the progress of the game.

If the above-mentioned dance game is taken as an example, when the game is being performed in the double determination mode, the amount of change in the position (or pointing or posture) of the grip type controller among the floor type controller and the grip type controller is not full. In the case of the critical value, the game device determines that the player has not used the grip type controller, and switches from the double determination mode to the single determination mode. At this time, the player does not need the trouble operation of switching the button in the push mode. Therefore, the player can simply switch the game mode. The game device can be switched to a game mode that is presumed to be appropriate in accordance with the usage status of the controller.

Further, when the game is being performed in the single determination mode, when the amount of change in the position (or pointing or posture) of the grip controller is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the game device can determine that the player is using the grip type controller. The single decision mode is switched to the double decision mode.

In the game, the instruction inputs of either of the first type and the second type may be respectively associated with a predetermined plurality of subject moments.

Further, the progress department can determine the score of the player by whether or not the input of the instruction corresponding to the type of the subject time is accepted in the predetermined plural subject time.

In the game in which the game device of the present invention is executed, one or a plurality of questions are set. The subject time (hereinafter referred to as "question time"); and the combination of the instruction input contents (hereinafter referred to as "question content") to be given by the player at the time. For example, in the case of the above-mentioned dance game, a subject specifies a combination of the information of the first beat (ie, time) from the beginning of the music, and the type of the button that should be stepped on at the time, or It is expressed from the combination of the information of the first few beats of the first few bars of the music and the difference of the grip controllers that should be shaken at the moment. In the dance game, the subject is called "Football" or "Hand Spectrum".

Further, the game device determines the score of the player based on the set question, the first type of instruction input, and/or the second instruction input. For example, when the player inputs an instruction such as the content of the subject at the time of the question, the player can obtain a score or perform a performance that sizzles the atmosphere in the game. However, when the player does not input an instruction such as the content of the subject at the time of the question, the player cannot obtain the score or the performance in which the atmosphere in the game is deteriorated. According to the present invention, when the game mode is in the double determination mode, the game device inputs the second instruction input according to the first instruction, and determines the player's performance to make the game. In the case of the single determination mode, An instruction input that determines the player's performance to cause the game to proceed. Therefore, the game device can switch to a game mode that is estimated to be appropriate in accordance with the use condition of the controller, and perform a score determination suitable for the game mode.

In the case where the mode of the game is the single determination mode, the type of the instruction input corresponding to the subject time is the second subject time, and the first type of instruction input is determined. The player's score.

In other words, the game device of the present invention can change the subject in accordance with the double determination mode or the single determination mode to become a subject matter suitable for the game mode.

Specifically, in the double determination mode, when the subject time indicates that the subject content of the first type of instruction input is corresponding, depending on the subject time, whether or not the subject content of the first type of instruction input is achieved by the player is determined. Or, to what extent, the score is scored (score); when the subject time is indicated, the subject matter indicating the input of the second instruction is the corresponding question, and the subject matter of the second instruction input is indicated based on the subject time. Whether it is achieved according to the player or to what extent, to score.

On the other hand, in the single determination mode, when the subject time indicates that the subject content of the first type of instruction input is corresponding, the problem is the same as the double determination mode, but when the subject time is indicated, the second type of instruction input is indicated. The problem corresponding to the subject matter is based on the subject time, instead of the second type of instruction input, to indicate whether the content of the subject of the first type of instruction input is achieved by the player or to what extent.

For example, in the above-described dance game, in the double determination mode, both the foot and the hand are the targets of the judgment score. On the other hand, in the single determination mode, the problem corresponding to the foot spectrum in the double determination mode and the problem of the hand spectrum replacement in the double determination mode being the foot spectrum are the targets of the judgment score. When the player changes from the double determination mode to the single determination mode, the player can complete the problem that the hand spectrum is replaced with the foot spectrum. According to the present invention, the game device can suppress the abnormal feeling given to the player when the game mode is changed, and smoothly change the game mode.

The game device may further have a prompting portion for each of the plural subject moments by

(a) When the type of the instruction input corresponding to the time of the subject is the first type, the first type of indication is indicated for the time of the subject;

(b) When the type of the instruction input corresponding to the time of the subject is the second type, the second type of indication is indicated for the subject time, and the subject time is presented to the player.

In the game device of the present invention, the first type of logo is used to indicate that the subject content is the first type of instruction input related, and the second type of flag is used to indicate that the subject content is the second type of instruction input related question. For example, if the above-mentioned dance game is taken as an example, the first type of logo indicates an image for distinguishing various buttons of the floor-type controller (typically indicating buttons in the up, down, left, and right directions), and the second type of logo indicates that the control is used to distinguish the control. An image of a type controller (typically a module held in the right hand and a module held in the left hand). According to the present invention, even if the content of the subject is changed in accordance with the change of the game mode, the game device can present the problem to the player with ease.

Further, it is possible to adopt various methods for how to present the respective questions to the player, and is not limited to the present invention. For example, the subject can be presented to the player by displaying the logo indicating the respective subject on the screen. Further, for example, the character of the game may be placed in a predetermined posture before and after the subject time to notify the subject, or the predetermined performance of the video or the sound may be performed to inform the subject.

Alternatively, the subject time can be set, but the player is not prompted. For example, in the game, first, the game device is demonstrated by importing a screen or the like, and thereafter, there is a practice mode in which the player repeats. First, the game device represents an exemplary performance for the subject, as shown therein, facilitating the player to repeat. Next, the game device does not present any prompts at the subject time (or only prompts the minimum limit), and the player repeats. If the example can be demonstrated as shown in the example. Further, it is not limited to the practice mode but may be used in any game. For example, as a completely silent game mode suitable for an advanced person, a method of not presenting a question is adopted.

The progress unit may determine the player's performance by deleting the type of the instruction input corresponding to the subject time when the mode of the game is the single determination mode.

For example, if the game mode is switched from the double determination mode to the single determination mode, the problem in which the type of the input input is the second type is deleted. The deleted subject is excluded from the object of the judgement score. Taking the above-mentioned dance game as an example, in the double determination mode, both the foot spectrum and the hand spectrum become the target of the judgment result. On the other hand, in the single determination mode, only the foot spectrum in the double determination mode becomes the target of the judgment score, and the spectrum in the double determination mode disappears. When the player changes from the double determination mode to the single determination mode, it is only necessary to complete the problem of the full spectrum. According to the present invention, the game device can be changed to an appropriate subject for the game mode.

The game device may further include a presentation unit that presents the time of the subject to the player.

Further, when the mode of the game is the single determination mode, the progress unit may delete the subject time of the type indicated by the instruction input corresponding to the subject time as the second type, and the subject time that is not presented by the presentation unit. To determine the player's score.

For example, if the game mode is switched from the double determination mode to the single determination mode, the type of the instruction input is the second problem, and the problem that has not been presented to the player is deleted. The deleted subject is excluded from the object of the judgement score. On the other hand, if the type of the instruction input is the second type of problem and the question has been completed for the player, it is retained without being deleted. Taking the above-mentioned dance game as an example, in the double determination mode, both the foot spectrum and the hand spectrum become the target of the judgment result. On the other hand, in the single determination mode, the hand spectrum that has been presented in the double determination mode remains as the target of the judgment result, but after switching to the single judgment mode, the hand spectrum that should be presented disappears from the object of the judgment result. exclude. That is, the hand spectrum does not suddenly disappear before the time of the subject. According to the present invention, the game device can suppress the abnormal feeling given to the player when the game mode is changed, and change the game mode to an appropriate problem.

The prompting section may also be for each of the plural subject moments,

(x) When the type of the instruction input corresponding to the time of the subject is the first type, the first type of identifier is indicated corresponding to the subject time;

(y) indicating that the type of the input originally corresponding to the time of the subject is the second type, and the subject time that has not been deleted by the performing unit indicates the second type of identification;

(z) The type of the first input corresponding to the instruction input corresponding to the time of the subject is the second type, and the third type is indicated at the same time as the subject time deleted by the progress unit.

In the game device of the present invention, the first type of logo is used to indicate that the subject content is a subject related to the first type of instruction input, and the second type of flag is used to indicate that the subject content is a subject related to the second type of instruction input. Further, the third mark is used to indicate the problem to be deleted when the double determination mode is changed to the single determination mode. For example, the above-mentioned dance game is used to distinguish images of various buttons of the floor-mounted controller (typically indicating buttons in the up, down, left, and right directions), and the second type of logo is used to distinguish the control of the grip type. The image of the hand (typically the module held in the right hand and the module held in the left hand), and the third indicator indicates the image of the hand spectrum deleted when changing from the double decision mode to the single decision mode. When the third flag indicates that the game mode is the single-judgment mode, it is assumed that if the game mode is the double-judgment mode, it should be the flag of the subject time for determining the score. According to the present invention, even if the content of the subject is changed in accordance with the change of the game mode, the game device can present the problem to the player with ease. Moreover, due to the change of the game mode, it is clear that the problem is excluded from the object of the judgment result.

A game processing method according to another aspect of the present invention includes a first input accepting step, a second input accepting step, an obtaining step, a setting step, and a performing step.

In the first input accepting step, the first type of instruction input given by the player via the first input means is accepted.

In the second input accepting step, the second type of instruction input given by the player via the second input means is accepted.

In the obtaining step, the position of the second input device or the amount of change in the predetermined time period is obtained.

In the case where the acquired amount of change is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the game mode is set to the double determination mode. If this is not the case, the game mode is set to the single determination mode.

In the step of performing, when the mode of the game is the double determination mode, the game is performed by the first type of instruction input and the second type of instruction input, in the case of the single determination mode, by The first type of input is made for the game to proceed.

According to the game processing method of the present invention, the game device can switch to the game mode estimated to be appropriate in accordance with the use status of the controller.

Typically, the pistol shot in the virtual space or the instruction input performed by the grip of the robot is performed using the B button 205.

Further, the indicator 207 on the top surface of the first grip module 201 presents the player with the operation state of the first grip module 201, the wireless communication state with the information processing device 100, and the like.

The power button 208 disposed on the top surface of the first holding module 201 is configured to open and close the operation of the first holding module 201 itself, and is stored in the battery in the first holding module 201 ( It does not show).

Further, the speaker 209 is disposed on the top surface of the first grip module 201, and outputs sound generated in accordance with a sound signal input from the sound processing unit 109. A vibrator (not shown) is provided inside the first grip module 201, and can control the presence or absence of vibration and strength based on an instruction from the information processing apparatus 100.

Next, the second grip module 211 simplifies the functions of the first grip module 201, but basically has an equivalent function expansion controller.

In the second grip module 211, an acceleration sensor (typically a three-axis gravity sensor) is built in, and the posture of the second grip module 211 itself can be measured. The result of this measurement is also sent to the information processing apparatus 100. Further, the second grip module 211 may include a CCD camera or the like similarly to the first grip module 201, and may measure the position of the second grip module 211.

The control lever 212 allows the player to smoothly input an input unit that indicates the input of the up, down, left, and right directions, that is, the input unit that has been reduced in size by the joystick.

The C button 213 and the Z button 214 are disposed near the front end of the second grip module 211. The player can press each button by a fingertip or the like to input an instruction corresponding to each button to the information processing apparatus 100.

In the following, a second controller 105 that combines the first holding module 201, the second holding module 211, and the light emitting module 251 is used in the actual world of the first holding module 201 and the second holding module 211. The position and posture are measured as a premise to explain. However, even if it is not based on the above-described form, for example, ultrasonic wave, infrared communication, global positioning system (GPS), or the like is used to measure the position and posture of the second controller 105 in the actual world. It is also included in the scope of the invention. Further, the second controller 105 may be configured to include only one of the first grip module 201 and the second grip module 211, but only one of them (for example, only the first grip module 201).

Next, an outline of a game executed by the information processing device 100 of the present embodiment will be described.

Fig. 4 is a configuration example shown on the screen 400 of the display. The stationary symbols 401 to 404 fixed and drawn at predetermined positions in the screen 400; the tread position indication symbol 410 in which the drawing position moves over time (four types of systems 410A, 410B, 410C, and 410D in FIG. 4) a shaking position indication symbol 420 (two types in the fourth drawing, 420A, 420B) that moves in accordance with the passage of time; a scale 430 indicating the score of the player; and other background images are displayed on In the picture 400.

The stepping position indication symbol 410 and the shaking position indication symbol 420 are matched with the played music and are scrolled (represented cyclically). In the stepping position indication symbol 410, any one of the up, down, left, and right arrows is drawn. In the shaking position indication symbol 420, any image indicating the first holding module 201 and the second holding module 211 is drawn.

The stationary symbols 401 to 404 are symbols indicating the timing at which the player should press the buttons 121 to 124 (hereinafter also referred to as "question time"). In the stationary symbols 401 to 404, images of any of the upper and lower arrows are drawn.

The stationary mark 404 also serves as a symbol indicating the timing (question time) at which the player should shake the first grip module 201. Further, the stationary mark 401 also serves as a symbol indicating the timing (question time) at which the player should shake the second grip module 211. In this embodiment, the description is made on the premise that the player holds the first grip module 21 on the right and the second grip module 211 on the left.

The stepping position indication symbol 410 and the shaking position indication symbol 420 are moved toward the position where the stationary symbols 401 to 404 are drawn, in accordance with the playback speed of the music.

If the player moves the pedal position indication symbol 410 to the same position as the stationary symbols 401 to 404, and presses the buttons 121 to 124 corresponding to the arrows of the arrows drawn on the stationary symbols 401 to 404, the player's score will be The value (dance meter) indicated by the addition and the ruler 430 is increased.

Moreover, if the player moves the shaking position indication symbol 420 to the same position as the stationary symbol 404 or 401, the first holding module 201 corresponding to the stationary symbol 404 or the second holding module 211 corresponding to the stationary symbol 401 is shaken. Then, the score of the player is increased, and the value (dance meter) indicated by the ruler 430 is raised.

The stepping position indication symbol 410 is also referred to as "footprint", and the shaking position indication symbol 420 is also referred to as "hand spectrum". The details of the player's performance judgment are described later.

For example, if the player moves to the position where the stepping position indication symbol 410 is overlapped with any of the stationary symbols 401 to 404, the button corresponding to the arrow indicated by the stepped position indication symbol 410 is pressed with one foot ( Any one of the buttons 121 to 124) can step on the exemplary (standard) dance pace of the music being played.

Further, for example, when the player moves the position indication symbol 420 to a position overlapping the stationary mark 401 or 404, the player shakes the corresponding holding module to the shaking position indication mark 420 with one hand (the first holding module 201 and the first Any one of the two gripping modules 211 can make an exemplary dance posture in accordance with the music being played.

In the following description, the instruction input by the player using the first controller 111 is referred to as "the first type of instruction input". A typical example of the first type of indication input is based on an indication input by the player regarding the pressing of the buttons 121 to 124.

Further, the instruction input by the player using the second controller 105 is referred to as "second type instruction input". A typical example of the second type of instruction input is based on an instruction input by the player's shaking operation of the first grip module 201 provided by the second controller 105; and based on the second controller 105. The instruction of the grip module 211 according to the player's shaking operation is input.

Further, among the images displayed on the screen 400, the image corresponding to the first controller 111 is referred to as a "first type of mark". A typical example of the first type of marking is the stepping position indication marks 410A to 410D. Further, among the images displayed on the screen 400, the image corresponding to the second controller 105 is referred to as a "second type marker". A typical example of the second type of identification is the shaking position indication marks 420A and 420B.

In addition, a combination of information specifying the time of the subject and the information of the button to be pressed at the time of the subject, or a combination of the information specifying the difference between the subject time and the gripping module to be shaken at the time of the subject is called a "problem". . A subject is expressed as [Mathematical Formula 1].

P(i)=(T(i), B(x))...[Mathematical Formula 1]

However, there are N problems in the game (N-number 1 or more integers). P(i) is a problem in which i (I is an integer of 1 or more and N or less) from the head. T(i) indicates the time of the problem corresponding to the problem P(i). B(x) indicates the content of the subject.

In the subject matter B(x), the value B (L) of the button 121, the value B (D) indicating the button 122, the value B (U) indicating the button 123, and the value B (R) indicating the button 124 indicate the Any one of B (HR) holding the module 201 and B (HL) indicating the second holding module 211 is designated.

For example, a certain subject is expressed like [Mathematical Formula 2].

P(i)=(T(i), B(L))...[Math 2]

At this time, the i-th problem of the game is "the left button 121 of the first controller 111 is pressed at the target time T(i)". Usually, when the player's time in the game becomes T(i), the left button 121 can be stepped on with the foot.

For example, a certain subject is expressed like [Mathematical Formula 3].

P(i)=(T(i), B(HR))...[Mathematical 3]

At this time, the i-th problem of the game is "swinging the first grip module 201 at the subject time T(i)". When the player's time in the game becomes T(i), the hand holding the first grip module 201 (usually the right hand) may be shaken.

It can also correspond to the content of multiple topics at a project time. For example, when the subject time T(i) corresponds to the two subject contents B(x1) and B(x2), the subject is expressed as [Mathematical Formula 4].

P(i)=(T(i), B(x1), B(x2))...[Math 4]

Alternatively, it may be expressed as a two-phase problem as shown in [Math 5] and [Math 6].

P(i)=(T(i), B(x1))...[Math 5]

P(i+1)=(T(i), B(x2))...[Math 6]

For example, a certain subject is expressed like [Mathematical Formula 7].

P(i)=(T(i), B(L), B(HR))...[Mathematical 7]

At this time, the i-th problem of the game is "the left button 121 of the first controller 111 is pressed at the target time T(i), and the first grip module 201 is shaken. When the player's time in the game becomes T(i), the left button 121 is stepped on by the foot, and the hand holding the first grip module 201 (usually the right hand) is shaken.

However, it is preferable to use the subject matter corresponding to two at most in one subject time. Further, it is preferable that the problem corresponding to B(L) corresponds to a problem other than B(L) and B(HL), and in the problem corresponding to B(R), the corresponding B (() R) and other topics other than B (HR).

In the present embodiment, in order to make the present invention easier to understand, the game device presents the question to the player by being displayed on the screen 400, but it is not necessary to present the game to the player.

For example, in the game, first, the game device is demonstrated by importing a screen or the like, and thereafter, there is a practice mode in which the player repeats.

In the practice mode, the game device represents an exemplary performance for the subject, as shown therein, facilitating the player to repeat the action. Next, the game device does not present any prompts at the subject time (or only prompts a minimum prompt), and causes the player to repeat the operation. If the example can be demonstrated as shown in the example. The exception is not limited to the practice mode but may be in any game, for example, as a completely silent game mode for the advanced person, the problem is not presented to the player.

Next, a functional configuration of the game device 500 in the embodiment in which the home game device 500 is used as the information processing device 100 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the game device 500 includes a first input accepting unit 501, a second input accepting unit 502, an obtaining unit 503, a setting unit 504, and an executing unit 505.

The first input accepting unit 501 receives the first type of instruction input given by the player via the first controller 111. The CPU 101, the interface 104, and the first controller 111 operate in cooperation, and function as the first input accepting unit 501.

The second input accepting unit 502 receives the second type of instruction input given by the player via the second controller 105. The second type of instruction input includes an instruction input generated by the shaking operation of the first grip module 201 and an instruction input generated by the shaking operation of the second grip module 211. The CPU 101, the interface 104, and the second controller 105 operate in cooperation, and function as the second input accepting unit 502.

The acquisition unit 503 acquires the amount of change ΔP within a predetermined time of the position of the first grip module 201, the amount of change ΔQ within a predetermined time in which the first grip module 201 is pointed, and the direction of the second grip module 211 The amount of change ΔR within the specified time. The CPU 101, the interface 104, the first controller 111, and the second controller 105 operate in cooperation, and function as the acquisition unit 503.

As described above, the player can shake the first holding module 201 and/or the second holding module 211 of the second controller 105 while grasping the position of each of the holding modules 201 and 211 and / or point to. The CPU 101 acquires the position and orientation in the real space of the first grip module 201 and the pointing in the real space of the second module 211 by a regular timing such as vertical synchronization (VSYNC).

The CPU 101 temporarily stores the information history indicating the position up to the predetermined time from the current time and the information history indicating the pointing, in the RAM 103 or the like. In other words, the history of the location and the history of the pointing are temporarily stored in the RAM 103 or the like, and are updated at any time with the passage of time. Further, the CPU 101 calculates the amount of change ΔP of the position of the first grip module 201 in the predetermined time, the amount of change ΔQ of the pointing of the first grip module 201, and the amount of change ΔR of the pointing of the second grip module 211. .

The CPU 101 can determine how much the position of the first grip module 201 has moved (to what extent the position of the player has moved) between the current time and only before the predetermined time, and the first grip module 201 How much has been moved (how much the player's pointing has moved), and how far the pointing of the second gripping module 211 has moved (how much the player's pointing has moved).

When the amount of change acquired by the acquisition unit 503 is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the setting unit 504 sets the game executed by the game device 500 to the double determination mode. If this is not the case, Then set to single judgment mode. The CPU 101 functions as the setting unit 504.

For example, the CPU 101 updates the flag indicating that the game mode stored in the predetermined memory area of the RAM 103 is the double determination mode or the single determination mode (hereinafter referred to as "pattern flag") based on the determination result of the condition described later.

Here, the game mode executed in the game device 500 of the present embodiment will be described. In the game mode, there are a double decision mode and a single decision mode. In the present embodiment, the CPU 101 sets the game mode to the double determination mode at the beginning of the game.

The double determination mode is a mode in which the game is performed based on the first input instruction using the first controller 111 and the second input instruction using the second controller 105. As in the present embodiment, when the first controller 111 is a floor-type controller that gives an instruction input by stepping on the foot, and the second controller 105 is a grip-type controller that gives an instruction input by hand, the game device 500 is used. In the double determination mode, the player's time is determined based on the time of the subject, the timing at which the player steps on the buttons 121 to 124, and the timing at which the player shakes the first grip module 201 and the second grip module 211 by hand. Results. That is, whether the player shakes his or her hand at the timing when the hand is shaken, and whether or not the two steps are stepped on at the timing of stepping on the pace is determined.

In the double decision mode, only the first type identifier or only the second type identifier, or both the first type identifier and the second type identifier are indicated on the screen 400. In the present embodiment, the six types of symbols of the stepping position indicating symbols 410A to 410D and the shaking position indicating symbols 420A and 420B are scrolled.

On the other hand, the single determination mode is based on the first input instruction by the first controller 111 to cause the game to proceed, and the second instruction input is a mode in which the game is not affected. For example, the game device 500 is in the single determination mode, and determines the score of the player based on the time of the subject and the timing at which the player steps on each of the buttons 121 to 124. That is, whether the player steps on the pace at the timing of stepping on the pace is determined, but whether the player shakes the hand at the timing when the player should shake the hand is not determined.

In the single determination mode, among the first type identifier and the second type identifier, only the first type identifier is indicated on the screen 400. In the present embodiment, the four symbols of the stepping position indicating symbols 410A to 410D are indicated by scrolling.

The predetermined threshold values ΔP _TH , ΔQ _TH , and ΔR _TH are respectively set in the above-described amounts of change ΔP, ΔQ, and ΔR.

The CPU 101 determines whether or not the following conditions 1 to 3 are satisfied in the game. That is, the CPU 101 separately determines

(Condition 1) Whether the change amount ΔP of the position of the first grip module 201 is equal to or greater than the critical value ΔP _TH ;

(Condition 2) Whether the amount of change ΔQ of the pointing of the first grip module 201 is equal to or greater than the critical value ΔQ _TH ;

(Condition 3) Whether or not the amount of change ΔR of the pointing of the second grip module 211 is equal to or greater than the critical value ΔR _TH .

Further, the CPU 101 sets the game mode to the double determination mode when one of the amounts of change ΔP, ΔQ, and ΔR is equal to or greater than the critical value. The CPU 101 sets the flag value indicating the double determination mode to the mode flag.

When at least one or more of the position of the first grip module 201 or the pointing of the second grip module 211 is changed to a value indicated by a threshold value, the CPU 101 estimates that the player is using the first The second controller 105 plays the game while playing. Further, the CPU 101 not only inputs the first instruction from the player according to the first controller 111, but also based on the second instruction input by the second controller 105 to cause the game to proceed.

On the other hand, when neither the position or the pointing of the first grip module 201 nor the pointing of the second grip module 211 is changed to a value greater than the threshold value, the CPU 101 estimates the game. The player is playing the game without using the second controller 105. The CPU 101 sets the game mode to the single determination mode. The CPU 101 sets a flag value indicating the single determination mode to the mode flag. The CPU 101 causes the game to be played based on the first instruction input from the player by the first controller 111.

If the player is playing the two or one of the first grip module 201 and the second grip module 211, the position of the first grip module 201, the orientation of the first grip module 201, and the second grip mode Among the points of the group 211, at least one of them is highly likely to change. Therefore, if any of these variations is equal to or greater than the critical value, it is estimated that the player is holding the second controller 105.

Further, the CPU 101 may be configured such that when the position and orientation of the first grip module 201 and the orientation of the second grip module 211 are both changed to a value indicated by a critical value, the player is estimated to be on the side. When the second controller 105 is used, the game is played, not only according to the first instruction input from the player of the first controller 111, but also based on the second instruction input by the second controller 105.

Further, the CPU 101 may first calculate one or two of the change amount ΔP of the position of the first grip module 201 or the change amount ΔQ of the pointing, or the change amount ΔR of the pointing of the second grip module 211. It is determined whether or not the calculated amount of change is equal to or greater than a predetermined critical value. In this case, not all of the above conditions 1 to 3, the CPU 101 may determine whether or not the condition of the amount of change to be calculated is satisfied among the above conditions 1 to 3.

Fig. 6 is a view showing an example of temporal changes in the amount of change ΔQ of the pointing of the first grip module 201. As described above, the CPU 101 determines whether the game mode is the double determination mode or the single determination mode based on whether or not the change amount ΔQ is equal to or greater than the threshold value Q _TH . For example, the CPU 101 is in the period 601 from the time T1 to the time T2 when the amount of change ΔQ is less than the threshold value Q _TH . Set the game to single judgment mode. Further, the CPU 101 sets the game to the double determination mode in the periods 602 and 603 from the time T2 to the time T4 in which the amount of change ΔQ is equal to or greater than the threshold value Q _TH .

Further, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the first grip module 201 is shaken by the player based on whether or not the amount of change ΔQ is equal to or greater than the predetermined value Qs. This predetermined value Qs is referred to as a "shake determination reference value". For example, the CPU 101 estimates that the first grip module 201 is shaken by the player when the change amount ΔQ changes from the minimum shake determination reference value Qs to the shake determination reference value Qs or more.

Alternatively, the CPU 101 may estimate that the change amount ΔQ changes from the shake determination reference value Qs or more to the under-shake determination reference value from the time T3 when the change from the shake determination determination value Qs to the shake determination reference value Qs or more. At the time period 603 between the time T4 of Qs, the first grip module 201 is shaken by the player.

For example, the CPU 101 may estimate that the change amount ΔQ changes from the shake determination reference value Qs or more to the under-shake determination reference value from the time T3 when the change from the shake determination determination value Qs to the shake determination reference value Qs or more. The time period 603 between the time T4 of Qs, and at the time T5 when the amount of change ΔQ becomes extremely large, the first grip module 201 is shaken by the player.

When the time when the amount of change ΔQ becomes extremely large exists in the plural, any time may be used as the time when the first grip module 201 is shaken by the player. For example, the CPU 101 may estimate that the first grip module 201 is shaken by the player at the time when the amount of change ΔQ is maximum.

Not only the amount of change ΔQ of the first grip module 201, but also the shake determination reference value may be set to the position change amount ΔP of the first grip module 201 and the change amount ΔR of the second grip module 211. The rocking determination reference value corresponding to the change amount ΔP is set to P _S , and the rocking determination reference value corresponding to the change amount ΔR is set to R _S . ΔP or ΔR may be taken on the vertical axis of Fig. 6, and the critical value ΔQ _{TH may be} replaced by ΔP _TH or ΔR _TH , and the shaking determination reference value ΔQ _{S may be} replaced by ΔP _S or ΔR _S .

For example, the CPU 101 may have the change amount ΔP of the position of the first grip module 201 equal to or greater than the shake determination reference value P _S or the change amount ΔQ of the pointing of the first grip module 201 to be equal to or greater than the shake determination reference value Q _S . At this time, it is determined that the first grip module 201 is shaken by the player.

Alternatively, the CPU 101 may change the positional change amount ΔP of the first grip module 201 to be equal to or greater than the shake determination reference value P _S , and the amount of change ΔQ of the first grip module 201 may be equal to or greater than the shake determination reference value Q _S . At this time, it is determined that the first grip module 201 is shaken by the player.

Moreover, the CPU 101 can determine whether the first gripping module 201 is shaken according to whether the amount of change ΔQ of the pointing of the first gripping module 201 is greater than or equal to the shaking determination reference value Q _S , and by determining the second gripping module 211 Whether or not the pointed change amount ΔR is equal to or greater than the shake determination reference value R _S determines whether or not the second grip module 211 is shaken.

As described above, when the amounts of change ΔP, ΔQ, ΔR; the threshold values ΔQ _TH , ΔP _TH , ΔR _TH ; and the shaking determination reference values ΔQ _S , ΔP _S , ΔR _{S are used} , the CPU 101 can estimate the motion of the player based on these values. The use state of the first grip module 201 and the second grip module 211, and the like.

For example, when the change amount ΔQ of the pointing of the first grip module 201 is 0, it can be estimated that the player puts the first grip module 201 on the ground or the like without holding, or the first grip module 201 is faulty or the battery is exhausted. . At this time, the CPU 101 can also set the game mode to the single determination mode.

For example, when 0 ≦ ΔQ < Q _TH is satisfied, the CPU 101 can estimate that the player is playing the game without using the first grip module 201. Further, when the CPU 101 can continuously satisfy 0 ≦ ΔQ < Q _TH for a predetermined time, the CPU 101 can set the game mode to the single determination mode.

For example, when Q _TH ≦ ΔQ < Q _S is satisfied, the CPU 101 can estimate that the player is holding the first grip module 201 without shaking.

For example, when Q _S ≦ ΔQ is satisfied, the CPU 101 can estimate that the first grip module 201 is being held and the first grip module 201 is shaken. In the game in which the player grips the first grip module 201 to play in the right hand, the CPU 101 can estimate that the player shakes the first grip module 201 held by the right hand.

Take the game content as fitness, training, etc. as a specific example.

(a) When the Q _S ≦ ΔQ is satisfied, the CPU 101 displays a message such as "GOOD" or "this tone" on the screen, and outputs a sound to notify the player;

(b) When Q _TH ≦ ΔQ < Q _S is satisfied, the CPU 101 displays a message such as "many move a little" and "work harder", and outputs a sound to notify the player;

(c) When the case where 0 < ΔQ < Q _TH is satisfied, the CPU 101 displays a message indicating that "the hand has stopped 喔", "don't give up", and the like, and outputs a sound to notify the player;

(d) When ΔQ = 0, the CPU 101 may also output a message such as "controller not connected" or "controller may be faulty" on the screen, and output a sound to notify the player.

In this manner, the CPU 101 can notify the player of an appropriate message in response to the action of the player and the estimation result of the use state of the first grip module 201 and the second grip module 211. In addition to the display of characters, still images, animations, and the like, the output of the sound may be used as a means for notifying the player, and the vibrator of the first grip module, the blinking of the lamp such as an LED, or the like may be used.

Further, when 0 ≦ ΔQ < Q _TH is satisfied, the CPU 101 may estimate the operation of the player and the use state of the first grip module 201 and the second grip module 211 in accordance with the orientation of the first grip module 201.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, when 0 ≦ ΔQ < Q _TH (typically ΔQ = 0), when the first grip module 201 is horizontally placed, the CPU 101 presume that the player merely temporarily places the first grip mode. The group 201 has a high possibility of holding the first grip module 201 again without switching the game mode from the double determination mode to the single determination mode.

On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 7B, when 0 ≦ ΔQ < Q _TH (typically ΔQ = 0), the first grip module 201 is vertically (laterally) placed upright, and the CPU 101 estimates that the player does not use it. The first grip module 201 plays the game, and the possibility of holding the first grip module 201 again is low, and the game mode is switched from the double determination mode to the single determination mode.

The correspondence between the placement method of the above-described grip module 201 and the estimation result is merely an example. In the above description, the horizontal and vertical directions may be replaced, and when the posture is placed in another predetermined direction, the double determination mode and the single determination mode may be switched.

Here, the change amount ΔQ of the first grip module 201 is used for the description. However, the CPU 101 can also use the amount of change ΔP of the position of the first grip module 201 to estimate the motion of the player and the first grip mode. The use status of the group 201, and the like. Further, the CPU 101 can also use the amount of change ΔR of the pointing of the second grip module 211, and similarly estimate the motion of the player, the state of use of the second grip module 211, and the like.

Further, when the game mode is the single determination mode, when the game mode is the single determination mode, when at least one of the change amounts ΔP, ΔQ, and ΔR is equal to or greater than the above-described threshold value, the CPU 101 can again switch from the single determination mode to the double determination mode.

Further, the CPU 101 may be set to the single determination mode at the beginning of the game, and may switch from the single determination mode to the double determination mode when at least one of the change amounts ΔP, ΔQ, and ΔR is equal to or greater than the threshold value.

Next, when the progress unit 505 is in the case where the game mode is double determination, the progress is made by the first input instruction and the second instruction input. Further, when the game mode is the single determination mode, the game is played according to the first instruction input. The CPU 101 functions as the progress unit 505.

That is, when the CPU 101 indicates that the value of the mode flag described above is the double determination mode, the game is performed in accordance with the first instruction input and the second instruction input. On the other hand, when the CPU 101 indicates that the value of the mode flag described above is the single determination mode, the game is performed in accordance with the first instruction input, and the second instruction input does not affect the progress of the game.

For example, when the CPU 101 is in the double determination mode, scrolling (loop) indicates the stepping position indication symbols 410A to 410D and the shaking position indication symbols 420A and 420B. Further, the CPU 101 provides a game in which the player moves the foot and/or the hand as a problem at a predetermined timing. As a result, the player can learn the example dance steps and gestures.

For example, when the CPU 101 is in the single determination mode, the scrolling indicates the stepping position indication symbols 410A to 410D, and the scrolling position indication symbols 420A and 420B are not scrolled. Further, the CPU 101 provides a game in which the player moves the player's foot at a predetermined timing. As a result, the player can learn the dance steps of the example.

Further, in the single determination mode, the CPU 101 may perform the game based on the second type of instruction input instead of the first type of instruction input. In the screen 400, only the first type of identification and the second type of identification are included. The second type of logo indicates. That is to say, it is also possible to determine whether or not the hand is judged when the player should shake the hand, but the timing at which the player should step on the step, whether or not the pedaling step is not determined. At this time, the CPU 101 provides a game in which the player moves the hand as a target at a predetermined timing. As a result, the player can learn the example dance gestures.

Next, the game processing executed by each of the above units will be described. Fig. 8 is a flow chart showing the game processing of the embodiment. In the following description, the first controller 111 is provided with a floor mat type controller that the player usually pedals with the foot, and the second controller 105 is a grip type controller that the player usually holds and swings. However, if the game device 500 includes a plurality of controllers, it is possible to receive an instruction input from the controllers according to the instructions of the player, and the shape, function, use, and the like of each controller are not limited by the present invention.

In the following description, a dance game will be described as an example. The first type of instruction input is input to the CPU 101 by the pressing operation of the buttons 121 to 124 of the first controller 111 of the player. The second instruction input is input to the CPU 101 by the shaking operation of the first grip module 201 of the second controller 105 of the player and the shaking operation of the second grip module 211. However, the content of the game is not limited by the present invention.

First, the CPU 101 reads out data indicating a problem set in advance from a DVD-ROM or the like (step S801). Further, the CPU 101 reads out music material that can be played (reproduced) by the sound processing unit 109 from a DVD-ROM or the like.

The CPU 101 starts playing the music material that has been read, and starts measuring the elapsed time from the start of the music (step S802).

Next, the CPU 101 acquires the states of the first controller 111 and the second controller 105 (step S803).

Specifically, the CPU 101 calculates the amount of change ΔP of the position of the first grip module 201, the amount of change ΔQ of the pointing of the first grip module 201, and the amount of change of the pointing of the second grip module 211, respectively. ΔR. The so-called predetermined time period typically refers to the time from X seconds before the current time to the current time. The predetermined time can also be indicated by the number of occurrences of periodic updates such as VSYNC.

The CPU 101 determines whether or not any of the amounts of change ΔP, ΔQ, and ΔR is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (step S804). That is, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the above-described condition 1, condition 2, and condition 3 are satisfied.

When any one or more of the amounts of change ΔP, ΔQ, and ΔR are equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value (step S804; YES), the CPU 101 sets the game mode to the double determination mode to play the game (step S805). That is, at this time, the CPU 101 estimates that the player is playing the game using the second controller 105 to play the game. When the amount of change ΔP and/or ΔQ is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the CPU 101 estimates that the player is playing while holding the first grip module 201, and when the amount of change ΔR is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, It is estimated that the player is playing while holding the second grip module 211.

On the other hand, when any of the amounts of change ΔP, ΔQ, and ΔR is not equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value (step S804; NO), the CPU 101 sets the game mode to the single determination mode to play the game (step S806). That is, the CPU 101 estimates that the player is not playing the game by both the first grip module 201 and the second grip module 211.

Here, the "playing game" specifically changes the performance of the game by, for example, whether the first or second type of instruction input is performed by the player, and continues to raise the question until the end of the music.

For example, the CPU 101 is in the double determination mode, and if the first or second type of instruction input is performed, any one of the stationary symbols 401 to 404 is performed, or the stepping position indication symbol 410 and the rocking position indication symbol 420 are rolled. The line of motion, the bright and luminous performance.

That is, the player can easily distinguish between the button that is determined to have been pressed by the game device 500 or the grip module that is determined to have been shaken.

On the other hand, in the single determination mode, when the first type of instruction input is performed, the CPU 101 performs a performance of brightly lighting the stationary symbols 401 to 404, etc., but the stationary symbol 401 is not changed even if the second instruction input is performed. To the indication of 404, etc. In the practice mode, demonstration, or test mode of the game, it is not necessary to determine the score of the player at the time of the game.

Alternatively, the term "playing a game" refers to determining whether or not the player's achievement is determined by whether or not the instruction is input to the player (that is, whether the problem is completed) in accordance with the predetermined time of the problem. Until the end of the music, or until the critical value indicated by the ruler 430 is reached, the problem continues to be raised.

In other words, the CPU 101 is in the double determination mode, and determines whether the player's performance is determined based on whether or not the pressing operation or the shaking operation is performed in the subject time for all the questions of the achievement determination target.

For example, when the CPU 101 is completed, the CPU 101 adds the representative value (dance meter) of the scale 430 to the score of the player. However, if the problem is not completed, the value of 430 is decreased, and the score of the player is not added.

Further, for example, the CPU 101 is in the double determination mode, and when the problem is completed, the volume of the cheering of the viewer in the game is increased, and the virtual spotlight or the actual spotlight-like performance in the bright game is performed. However, if the problem is not completed, Then the audience will beep and the spotlight will be dimmed.

On the other hand, in the single determination mode, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the problem with respect to the first controller 111 (that is, any of B (L), B (D), B (U), and B (R)) is based on the content of the problem. The score of the player is determined to be completed, but the subject matter is the subject of the second controller 105 (that is, any of B (HL) and B (HR)), and the score is not determined.

Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not there is an instruction input specified by the subject content at the subject time (step S807).

When there is no instruction input (step S807; NO), the process proceeds to step S809, which will be described later. When there is no instruction input at the time of the subject, the CPU 101 considers that the problem has not been fulfilled, and may also reduce the score of the player's score, or may not add points or subtract points. Further, in the present embodiment, when there is no instruction input at the time of the subject, the player's score is not reduced, but the value indicated by the ruler 430 is reduced (dance meter).

On the other hand, when there is an instruction input (step S807; YES), the CPU 101 calculates the score of the player based on the error between the target time and the time input by the player's instruction, thereby obtaining the player. The result is (step S808).

For example, when the CPU 101 is within the predetermined time before and after the subject time, the CPU 101 adds a predetermined success score to the score of the player, but when it is within a predetermined time, Failure to add or subtract the specified failure score.

Then, the CPU 101 causes the game screen 400 to be generated and displayed on the display (step S809). For example, as shown in Fig. 4, the stationary marks 401 to 404, the first type of marks (i.e., the stepping position indicating marks 410A to 410D) that are scrolled toward the stationary marks 401 to 404 as the game progresses, are identically followed by the game. The second type of scrolling (i.e., the shaking position indication marks 420A, 420B), the scale 430, and the like are included in the game screen 400.

The game screen 400 in association with the played music is displayed by repeatedly performing the above-described respective processes.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the game device 500 is a game in which a plurality of controllers including positions and/or pointing controllers (or gripping modules) can be used, depending on the position. The amount of change and/or the amount of change in the direction is used to determine whether the player is using the position and/or pointing to the variable controller to play the game, and changing to the appropriate game mode according to the judgment result.

The player can easily switch between the dual decision mode using the two controllers and the single decision mode using only a single controller without cumbersome operation.

For example, when you are playing a game that moves both hands and feet in the double judgment mode, if you want to play with your feet, you can switch to a single by placing the handheld module on the table, the ground, etc. Decision mode. At this point, the player does not have to interrupt the game, and does not spend time to push the button just to switch modes.

For example, in the case of playing in the single-judgment mode, when the double-judgment mode is to be restored, the module placed on the table, the ground, or the like can be taken only by hand, and can be switched to the double-judgment mode.

Further, according to the present invention, in a party type game in which a plurality of players compete for each other, when the player uses at least one controller to play the game, the game device 500 can appropriately switch without the trouble of the player's hand. Battle mode and one person mode.

For example, among two players, if a player gives up in the middle of the game without using the controller, the amount of change and/or the amount of change in the position of the controller used by the player who abandoned the game becomes insufficient. The specified threshold. The game device 500 can determine that a player has not participated in the game, and switches from the competition mode (double determination mode) to the one-play game mode (single determination mode). When this mode is switched, the game device 500 can smoothly shift from the competition mode to the one-play game mode without interrupting the game. Moreover, it is also possible to smoothly shift from the one-player game mode to the battle mode without interrupting the game.

Furthermore, when there is a case where it is necessary to connect the battery to the controller as a power supply, the battery is exhausted; or when the controller must be connected to an external power source using a connector or the like, the power supply line may be separated. Also, there is a possibility of controller failure. In the event of these unforeseen surprises, the amount of change in the position of the controller and/or the amount of change in the direction is less than the specified threshold (typically the amount of change becomes zero). The game device 500 determines whether or not the controller is in a usable state by the amount of change in the position of the controller and/or the amount of change in the direction, and changes to an appropriate game mode in accordance with the determination result. That is, the game device 500 can be automatically changed to a game mode in which the controller is not used when the controller is presumed to be unusable due to a battery exhaustion, a failure, or the like.

Other embodiments

(Embodiment 2)

Next, other embodiments of the present invention will be described. The present embodiment differs from the above-described embodiment in that the content of the subject and the configuration of the screen 400 displayed on the display are changed in accordance with the set game mode. Detailed below.

As shown in FIG. 9, the game device 500 of the present embodiment further includes a presentation unit 901.

When the presentation unit 901 is in the case of the subject time and the type of the corresponding instruction input is the first type, the first indicator is displayed on the screen 400. Further, when the presentation unit 901 is at the subject time and the type of the corresponding instruction input is now the second type, the presentation unit 901 indicates the second type of flag. The game device indicates that the first or second type of logo is displayed on the screen 400 to present a question to the player. If the player views the first type of logo and the second type of logo in the screen 400, the subject time and the subject time content (i.e., when and what action should be made) can be immediately determined. The CPU 101 and the video processing unit 108 operate in cooperation to function as the presentation unit 901.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the game device 500 is described as having a configuration for presenting a problem to the player. In the present embodiment, the progress unit 505 can appropriately change the problem based on the change of the game mode, and the presentation unit 901 changes and prompts the presentation of the question before and after the change of the question.

When the game mode is the single determination mode, the progress unit 505 sets the type of the instruction input at the corresponding subject time to the second type of question time, and corresponds to the first type of instruction input. In other words, in the single determination mode, the reference content corresponding to the two kinds of instruction inputs (in this case, B (HL) and B (HR)) is re-corresponding to the first type of instruction input. Indicates the content (here, B(L), B(D), B(U), B(HR)). More simply, the "hand sheet" becomes "full spectrum."

Further, the progress unit 505 replaces B (HL) with B (L) which conceptually means the same left side, and replaces B (HR) with B (R) which conceptually means the same right side. In other words, if the content of the subject that is shaking the left hand is replaced with the subject matter of the left foot, the content of the subject that shakes the right hand is replaced with the content of the subject that is stepping on the right foot, and the problem of the change is preferable. However, this is only an example and can be changed to any subject matter.

Therefore, in the case where the second flag is indicated in the double decision mode, in the single decision mode, the first type of flag is indicated instead of the second flag.

Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the screen 400 in the double determination mode (i.e., before the subject exchange). Fig. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the screen 400 in the single determination mode (i.e., after the subject exchange). When the CPU 101 has a problem that the target time is not up to the current time, the remaining problem is re-corresponding to the subject content corresponding to the first type of instruction input at the time of the problem corresponding to the subject content corresponding to the second instruction input.

As shown in FIG. 10, in the case where there is a second type of flag that is presented on the screen 400, as shown in FIG. 11, the type of instruction input at the corresponding subject time is the second type. At the time of the topic, the first instruction input is re-corresponding.

However, the CPU 101 may not change the subject content to the problem that has been presented on the screen 400, and may not be the subject time that is not presented in the screen 400, and the subject time corresponding to the subject content corresponding to the second instruction input. Re-correspond to the content of the subject equivalent to the first type of input.

This method is suitable for setting a time lag between a determination period in which the game mode is to be changed or a change period in which the game mode is actually changed. Since the flag that has been presented in the screen 400 does not suddenly change, the game mode can be switched without difficulty by giving the player an abnormal feeling.

Alternatively, the CPU 101 may not change the subject content to the question that has been presented on the screen 400 and from the current time to the time before the predetermined time (for example, n seconds from now). From the current time, the problem at the time after the predetermined time (for example, n seconds after the current time) is re-corresponding to the first type of instruction input at the time of the subject corresponding to the content of the second instruction input. Subject content.

In other words, the distance 1001 that has been presented in the screen 400 and from the position of the stationary mark 401 to 404 in the screen 400 to the position of the shaking position indication symbol 420 is a problem that the predetermined distance is not exceeded, and the representation of the shaking position indication symbol 420 is indicated. The same is true, but the swing position indication symbol 420 is the stepping position indication symbol 410 for the problem that the distance 1001 is equal to or greater than the predetermined distance.

By this means, it is possible to switch the game mode without difficulty by giving the player an abnormal feeling. Further, since the "hands" that has appeared on the screen 400 is switched to the "footprint", it is clear that the game mode is changed for the player. Further, the closest shaking position indicating symbol 420 to the stationary symbols 401 to 404 does not suddenly become the pedaling position indicating symbol 410, which confuses the player.

The other configurations are the same as those of the above embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted. According to the present embodiment, if the player views the screen 400, the subject time and the subject matter can be intuitively understood. Further, since the configuration of the screen 400 changes in accordance with the change of the game mode, the player can clearly understand the game mode.

(Embodiment 3)

Next, other embodiments of the present invention will be described. This embodiment is a modification of the second embodiment, and similarly to the second embodiment, the content of the subject and the configuration of the screen 400 displayed on the display are changed in accordance with the set game mode. The details are as follows.

When the progress unit 505 is in the case where the game mode is the single determination mode, the type of the instruction input corresponding to the deletion of the problem time is the second problem time. That is, in the single determination mode, at the time when the instruction content corresponding to the two kinds of instruction inputs (in this case, B (HL) and B (HR) are corresponding), there is no equivalent of the second instruction input. Question. More simply, "Football" maintains a reservation without a "handsmanship".

Fig. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the screen 400 in the single determination mode (i.e., after the replacement of the subject). When the CPU 101 has a problem that the target time is not up to the current time, the CPU 101 searches for the problem time corresponding to the problem content corresponding to the second instruction input, and deletes the problem according to the content of the search. In other words, the content of the subject corresponding to the second type of instruction input is eliminated by the corresponding subject, and is not the target of the judgment result.

As shown in FIG. 10, when there is a second type of flag displayed on the screen 400, as shown in FIG. 12, the type of the instruction input corresponding to the target time is deleted as the second type. The subject.

However, the CPU 101 may delete the problem content that has been presented on the screen 400, and delete the problem corresponding to the subject content corresponding to the second instruction input for the problem that is not presented in the screen 400.

This method is suitable for a case where a time lag is set between a determination period in which the game mode is to be changed or a change period in which the game mode is actually changed. Since the flag that has been presented in the screen 400 does not suddenly change, the game mode can be switched without difficulty by giving the player an abnormal feeling.

Alternatively, the CPU 101 may not change the subject content to the question that has been presented on the screen 400 and from the current time to the time before the predetermined time (for example, n seconds from now). At the time of the time after the lapse of the time (for example, after n seconds from now), the problem corresponding to the subject content corresponding to the second instruction input is deleted.

In other words, the distance 1001 that has been presented in the screen 400 and from the position of the stationary mark 401 to 404 in the screen 400 to the position of the shaking position indication symbol 420 is a problem that the predetermined distance is not exceeded, and the representation of the shaking position indication symbol 420 is indicated. Although it is not changed, the shaking position indication symbol 420 disappears for the problem that the distance 1001 is equal to or greater than the predetermined distance.

By this means, it is possible to switch the game mode without difficulty by giving the player an abnormal feeling. Further, since the "hand sheet" that has appeared on the screen 400 disappears, the game mode is changed to the player. Further, the closest shaking position indicating symbol 420 to the stationary symbols 401 to 404 does not suddenly disappear, causing the player to be confused.

According to the present embodiment, if the player views the screen 400, the subject time and the subject matter can be intuitively understood. Further, since the configuration of the screen 400 changes in accordance with the change of the game mode, the player can clearly recognize the game mode.

(Embodiment 4)

Next, other embodiments of the present invention will be described. This embodiment is a modification of the second and third embodiments. Similarly to the second and third embodiments, the content of the subject and the configuration of the screen 400 displayed on the display are changed in accordance with the set game mode. The details are as follows.

In the same manner as in the above-described embodiments, the progress unit 505 is configured such that when the game mode is the single determination mode, the type of the instruction input corresponding to the deletion of the problem time is the second problem time.

In the same manner as in the above-described embodiments, the presentation unit 901 indicates the first type of flag on the screen 400 when the type of the corresponding instruction input is the first type at the time of the subject.

Further, the presentation unit 901 indicates that the current game mode is the double determination mode, and when the type of the corresponding instruction input is the second type at the time of the subject, the second indicator is displayed. On the other hand, the presentation unit 901 indicates that the current game mode is the single determination mode, and when the type of the corresponding instruction input is the second type at the time of the problem, the third identifier is replaced by the second identifier.

The third type of identification refers to the identification of the subject that is present before being eliminated. The third type of marker is typically a symbol 1320A, 1320B that oscillates the position indicator 420A, 420B as if it were an image. Alternatively, it is also possible to change the color, shape, size, and the like of the shaking position indicating symbols 420A and 420B by a predetermined method by gradually fading out, gradually reducing, and the like.

Since the time indicated by the third type flag has not yet been subjected to the corresponding question, there is no influence on the determination of the score of the player according to the CPU 101.

Fig. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the screen 400 in the single determination mode (i.e., after the replacement of the subject). When the CPU 101 has a problem that the target time is not up to the current time, the CPU 101 searches for the problem time corresponding to the problem content corresponding to the second instruction input, and deletes the problem according to the content of the search. In other words, the content of the subject corresponding to the second type of instruction input is eliminated by the corresponding subject, and is not the target of the judgment result. However, the CPU 101 represents a third identifier to replace the second identifier.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, when there is a second type of flag displayed on the screen 400, the CPU 101 deletes the type of the instruction input corresponding to the subject time as shown in FIG. The second problem is to replace the second identifier of the deleted object with the third one. Since the logo that has been presented on the screen 400 does not suddenly disappear and suddenly changes, the game mode can be switched without difficulty by giving the player an abnormal feeling.

Further, the CPU 101 may delete the subject matter that has been presented on the screen 400, and delete the subject that is not presented in the screen 400, and delete the subject corresponding to the subject content corresponding to the second instruction input. Replace the second identifier of the deleted object with the third one.

Alternatively, the CPU 101 may not change the subject content to the question that has been presented on the screen 400 and from the current time to the time before the predetermined time (for example, n seconds from now). At the time of the time after the lapse of time (for example, after n seconds from now), the problem corresponding to the content of the subject corresponding to the second instruction input is deleted, and the second type of the deleted object is replaced with the second Three kinds of logos.

According to the present embodiment, if the player views the screen 400, the player can intuitively understand the subject time and the subject content. Further, since the configuration of the screen 400 changes in accordance with the change of the game mode, the player can clearly recognize the game mode. Further, if the second controller 105 is used for play, it is possible to give a question at a glance, and therefore, the player can perform image training.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes and applications are possible. Further, each component of the above embodiment can be freely combined.

A program for causing a computer to operate as a whole or a part of the game device 500 may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a memory card, a CD-ROM, a DVD, an MO (Magneto optical disk), or the like. This is to load another computer to operate as the above means or to perform the above steps.

Furthermore, the program may be recorded prior to a disc device having a servo device on the Internet, for example, superimposed on a carrier wave and downloaded to a computer or the like.

In addition, the present application claims the priority of the basic application of Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-138174, the contents of which are incorporated herein.
