Method for determining score of somatosensory game machine

The present invention relates to a method for determining a score of a somatosensory gaming machine, and more particularly to a first and second determination range and first and second predetermined times, and the first determination range is smaller than the second determination range, the first The predetermined time is shorter than the second predetermined time, and the first and second determination ranges respectively correspond to a first score value and a second score value, and the second score value is a score determination method lower than the first score value.

According to the rapid development of various economic and trade activities around the world, the direct circulation of materials and information in various places makes people enjoy the convenience that has never been seen before. However, with the great changes in social structure and the changes in living environment and form, people The pressure on it is also getting heavier. The study pointed out that when people engage in moderate leisure activities, the adjustment effect obtained during the activity process can give people the inner strength to confront life problems and stress, so that people can regard real life problems and pressures as an opportunity to struggle. It is not a hopeless situation. Therefore, moderate leisure activities can not only effectively reduce the negative effects of stress, but also transform stress into positive force. Therefore, the pressures accumulated for daily life can be accumulated. In addition to pursuing the enjoyment of material aspects, people pay more and more attention to leisure activities of various spiritual levels. As a result, the leisure industry has flourished and prospered in recent years.

With the emphasis on leisure activities and the development of various leisure industries, various large-scale game machines are not only found in general leisure and entertainment centers, but also in many shopping centers and even sightseeing spots. The game machine, therefore, consumers or tourists, while relaxing and shopping or sightseeing, can also play a role in these large game consoles, and the pressure accumulated on weekdays. The current large game consoles have developed many types of games, such as: music rhythm type, sport type (such as: shooting machine, pneumatic ball, etc.) or shooting type...etc. Among them, the somatosensory game machine is often applied to a large-scale game machine of the type commonly called "dance machine". Since the somatosensory game machine can simultaneously have the advantages of the music rhythm type game machine and the sport type game machine, the player is In addition to enjoying your favorite music, you can also be active in the muscles, so it is very popular among players. In addition, for some skilled players, in the process of playing through such somatosensory game consoles, it is even better because of superb The dance technique attracts everyone's attention and is thus greatly satisfied psychologically. Since the music and rhythm-type somatosensory game machines have the aforementioned various advantages, the major manufacturers of the leisure industry have invested a lot of resources in research and development, and each has launched a unique music type game machine.

Although, as mentioned above, these music, rhythm-type somatosensory game consoles are indeed very attractive to players, however, how to maintain the player's passion for the game? It is another important topic. Check that the general somatosensory game machine determines the player's performance by sensing the actual action of the player (the player's dance step) through the unitary sense unit, and comparing the player's dance step with one of the preset presets of the game preset, and according to the two The degree of similarity gives the player the corresponding points. If the player's dance step is more similar to the preset dance step, the player can obtain a higher score; conversely, if there are many differences between the player's dance step and the preset dance step, the player's score will be relatively low. It can be clearly seen from the foregoing description that how to determine whether the player's dance steps are consistent with the preset dance steps is one of the important techniques of such a somatosensory game machine, and is one of the most critical techniques affecting the player's performance. Observing the player's reaction in the market, we can find that if the criteria are set too strict, for players who are generally ordinary and only want to use the somatosensory game to move their muscles and entertain themselves, often after several games. Because I always get poor results, I gradually lose interest in the game, and even start to complain, completely out of the original intention of relaxing; however, if the criteria are set too loose, although it can attract the ordinary players of the above skills, However, for some expert-level experts, even if the skills are more sophisticated, the results obtained are the same as those of ordinary people. Over time, they will feel that these judgment criteria are too loose and the game console is not challenging, but gradually loses. interest.

It can be seen from the above description that the conventional method of determining the score of the somatosensory game machine is too rigid and will cause a dilemma in practical application, which cannot meet the needs of various players. Therefore, how to design a somatosensory game machine The score determination method can make the general skill players enjoy the fun of the game, and at the same time, it can also motivate the skilled players to obtain the high score and repeat the game, which is an important subject of the present invention.

In view of the above problems, the inventors have finally developed and designed a score determination method for a somatosensory game machine according to the present invention based on its practical experience in the related technical field for many years, through repeated design, adjustment and verification. It is expected that the defects of the conventional somatosensory game machine can be improved by the present invention.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for determining a score of a somatosensory gaming machine, the score determining method being applied to a one-piece gaming machine, the body-sensing gaming machine comprising a control unit and an integrated sensing unit (eg: a three-dimensional depth sensor, a storage unit and a display unit, wherein the control unit is electrically connected to the somatosensory unit, the storage unit and the display unit, respectively, and the somatosensory unit can detect a player's motion and generate a unitary message. The storage unit stores a game software, and the display unit can display the game screen of the game software. The method causes the control unit to perform the following steps: reading the game software and displaying a display on the display unit. a game screen, and establishing a first coordinate corresponding to the game screen; determining a time point according to the plurality of scores according to the game software; receiving the somatosensory message sent by the somatosensory unit, and generating according to the content of the somatosensory message a human skeleton information and a second coordinate corresponding to one of the human skeleton information, the human skeleton information can distinguish the player's limb into a plurality of Other parts (such as: head, shoulders, elbows, palms, buttocks, knees or feet), and determine that the respective discriminating points correspond to the coordinate points of the second coordinates (for example, using the player's torso as the coordinate center to determine the individual discriminant The position corresponds to the relative position of the player's torso, and the coordinate points of the second coordinate correspond to the first coordinate; when any score determination time point is reached, a first determination range is set on the first coordinate ( It may be displayed on the screen or not on the screen) and a second determination range, the first determination range is smaller than the second determination range, and is located in the second determination range; determining one of the player's discriminating parts a coordinate point corresponding to the second coordinate; since the score determination time point, if the determination position moves to a coordinate point corresponding to the first determination range within a first predetermined time, a first record is recorded a fractional value; if the discriminating portion moves to a coordinate point corresponding to the second judging range within a second predetermined time from the judging time point, but does not move within the first predetermined time Corresponding to the coordinate point of the first determination range, recording a second score value, wherein the second predetermined time is longer than the first predetermined time, the second score value is lower than the first score value; The first score value or the second score value of the respective score judgment time points is summed to obtain a player score. In this way, if the player moves only the specific discriminating portion to the second judging range when the game proceeds to the score judging time point (ie, does not accurately move to the correct position but approaches the correct position), a certain score can still be obtained. Not because of excessively strict rules of the game, but always get poor results, causing players to gradually lose interest in the game; in addition, it can also motivate players to get high scores and play games repeatedly, not because of excessive Loose game rules lead players to feel unchallenged and gradually lose interest.

For your convenience, the review committee can make a further understanding and understanding of the purpose, technical features and effects of the present invention. The embodiments are combined with the drawings, and the details are as follows:

[00010] The present invention is a method for judging the score of a somatosensory game machine. Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram showing the connection relationship of main components of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The score determination method is applied to the integrated game machine 1 . The body game machine 1 includes a control unit 11 , an integrated unit 12 (eg, a three-dimensional depth sensor), a storage unit 13 , and a display unit 14 . . The control unit 11 is electrically connected to the somatosensory unit 12, the storage unit 13, and the display unit 14, respectively. The somatosensory unit 12 can detect the action of a player, and accordingly generate a unity message, and send the somatosensory message to the control unit 11. The storage unit 13 stores at least one game software 2 to enable the control unit 11 to read and execute the game software 2 stored in the storage unit 13. The display unit 14 can be driven by the control unit 11, and can display a game screen of the game software 2 (as shown in FIG. 2) for a player to perform a somatosensory game. [00011] Referring to Figures 1 and 3, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the score determination method of the present invention enables the control unit 11 to read the game software 2 and drive the display. After the game screen is displayed, the unit 14 establishes a first coordinate corresponding to the game screen (not shown); in addition, the control unit 11 can receive the somatosensory message sent by the somatosensory unit 12, and according to the The content of the somatosensory message generates a human skeleton information 3 and a second coordinate corresponding to the human skeleton information 3 (not shown). The human skeleton information 3 system can distinguish the player's limb into a plurality of discriminating points 31 (eg, head, shoulder, elbow, palm, hip, knee or foot board, etc.), and determine that the respective discriminating portion 31 corresponds to the first The coordinates of the two coordinates (for example, using the player's torso as a coordinate center, and judging that the respective discrimination points 31 correspond to the relative positions of the player's torso). Each coordinate point of the second coordinate corresponds to the first coordinate. [00012] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, after the game software 2 is read, the control unit 11 can determine a plurality of score determination time points based on the game software 2. The control unit 11 can set a first determination range 21 and a second determination range 22 on the first coordinate, the first determination range 21 is smaller than the second determination. The range 22 is located within the second determination range 22. In this preferred embodiment, the first determination range 21 is displayed on the game screen (as shown in FIG. 2), and the second determination range 22 is not displayed on the game screen. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Actually, the second determination range 22 may be presented on the game screen in different display manners for the player to refer to; or, the first determination range may not be displayed at all. The determination range 21 and the second determination range 22 merely prompt the player to perform subsequent actions through other display graphics, thereby improving the challenge of the game; and even whether the first determination range 21 and the second determination are displayed on the screen. The range 22 is designed as an option that the player can freely select, so that the first-time player has to choose to display the first judgment range 21 and the second judgment range 22 to gradually honing the skill, and the skill is very skilled and intentionally challenged higher. The player of the difficulty game can choose to hide the first judgment range 21 and the second judgment range 22. The specific changes are subject to change without departing from the actual circumstances. The above list is merely illustrative of several possible embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. [00013] The control unit 11 can determine, according to the somatosensory message sent by the somatosensory unit 12, that the discriminating part 31 of the player corresponds to the second coordinate when the score point is reached. Punctuation point. From the score judgment time point, if the discriminating portion 31 moves to a coordinate point corresponding to the first judging range 21 within a first predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds), the control unit 11 A first score value will be recorded (for example, a reward of 5 points for the score); however, if the score is judged from the time point, within a second predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds), the discrimination When the portion 31 moves to a coordinate point corresponding to the second determination range 22, but does not move to a coordinate point corresponding to the first determination range 21 within the first predetermined time, the control unit 11 will Record a second score (for example, give a bonus of 3 points). The second predetermined time is longer than the first predetermined time, and the second fractional value is lower than the first fractional value. In other words, when the score determination time point is reached, it is simultaneously determined whether the determination portion 31 falls within a coordinate point corresponding to the first determination range 21 or the second determination range 22, and since the second determination range 22 is More than the first determination range 21, so whether or not the condition of "moving to a coordinate point corresponding to the first determination range 21 within a first predetermined time" is satisfied, as long as the second predetermined time is moved in the second predetermined time The second determination range 22 ensures that at least the player can obtain the lower second score. However, if the player successfully moves the determination portion 31 to the coordinate point corresponding to the first determination range 21 within the first predetermined time from the score determination time point, the player can obtain the higher first Score value. In other words, if the first predetermined time has elapsed since the score determination time point, but the second predetermined time has not been copied, the player moves the determination portion 31 to correspond to the first determination range 21 at this time. The inner coordinate point, or moving to the coordinate point corresponding to the second determination range 22, can only obtain the lower second score value. [00014] In order to clearly illustrate the operational flow of the present invention, the operational flow of the present invention will be described by using only the main steps of the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, together with the component numbers shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. The method causes the control unit 11 to perform the following steps: (401) reading the game software 2, and displaying a game screen on the display unit 14, and establishing a first coordinate corresponding to the game screen; (402 Setting a plurality of score determination time points according to the game software 2; (403) receiving a somatosensory message transmitted from the somatosensory unit 12, and generating a human skeleton information 3 according to the content of the somatosensory message and corresponding to the human body a second coordinate of the skeleton information 3; (404) setting a first determination range 21 and a second determination range 22 on the first coordinate when reaching any score determination time point; (405) determining the player's a coordinate point corresponding to the discriminating portion 31 on the second coordinate; (406) whether the discriminating portion 31 moves to correspond to the second judging range 22 within a second predetermined time from the score judging time point The coordinate point, if yes, proceeds to step (407), otherwise, proceeds to step (408); (407) from the score determination time point, whether the determination portion 31 moves to correspond to the first predetermined time A judgment point 21 of the coordinate point, if yes, proceeds to step (409), otherwise, proceeds to step (410); (408) does not record the score value, proceeds to step (411); (409) records a first score value, enters the step (411); (410) recording a second score value, proceeding to step (411); (411) determining whether the score determination of all score determination time points has been completed, and if so, proceeding to step (412), otherwise, returning to step (404) And (412) summing the first score value or the second score value corresponding to the respective score judgment time points to obtain a player score. [00015] As can be seen from the above description, after the control unit 11 records the first score value or the second score value corresponding to each score determination time point at each score determination time point, the control unit 11 will The first score value or the second score value corresponding to the respective score judgment time points is summed to obtain a player score corresponding to one of the games. Thus, with the score determination method of the present invention, if the player moves to the score determination time point, only the specific determination portion 31 is moved into the second determination range 22 (that is, the position is not accurately moved to the correct position, but is close to The correct position), still get a certain amount of points, and will not always get poor results due to excessively strict rules of the game, causing players to gradually lose interest in the game; in addition, can still motivate players to get high scores, The game is played repeatedly, and the player is not challenged because of excessively loose game rules, and gradually loses interest. [00016] In particular, although the first embodiment only refers to setting the first determination range 21 and the second determination range 22, the actual implementation is not limited thereto. The design manufacturer of the game machine 1 can also design more different judgment ranges and different time periods according to actual needs, and set the combined conditions to different levels of high and low values to enrich the game content. Sex. In addition, the control unit 11 can also drive the display unit 14 to display feedback information (such as: Perfect, Great, Good, or Miss) corresponding to different high and low score values on the game screen. For example, if the player successfully moves the determination portion 31 to a coordinate point corresponding to the first determination range 21 within a first predetermined time, after the first predetermined time ends (or the determination portion 31) When moving to the coordinate point corresponding to the first determination range 21, the control unit 11 can drive the display unit 14 to display a first feedback message (such as: Perfect) on the game screen; if the player is not in the first The determination portion 31 is moved to a coordinate point corresponding to the first determination range 21 for a predetermined time, but the determination portion 31 is moved to a coordinate corresponding to the second determination range 22 within a second predetermined time. At the end of the second predetermined time, the control unit 11 can drive the display unit 14 to display a second feedback message (eg, Great) on the game screen. In this way, the interaction between the player and the somatosensory gaming machine 1 can be increased through the presentation of the first and second feedback messages. In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, the control unit 11 is still capable of recording the discriminating portion 31 within the first predetermined time (or the second predetermined time) and staying in the first determining range 21 (or the second Judging the time in the range 22), and determining a ratio according to the dwell time (for example, 1 second) and the first predetermined time (or the second predetermined time), and adjusting (eg, multiplying) the ratio The corresponding first score value (or second score value). In this way, when a certain dance step requires the player to continuously stop the specific determination portion 31 in the first determination range 21, if a certain player only temporarily moves the determination portion 31 into the corresponding first determination range 21, the obtained The score will be lower than another player who continues to stay at the discriminating portion 31 in the first determination range 21. Accordingly, the adjustment of the first score value (or the second score value) by the ratio will enable the player to be more faithfully reflected in the score obtained. [00017] According to the above description, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and the technical scope disclosed in the present invention is not limited thereto. The content, the equivalent changes that can be easily considered, are all without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
