Abstract

A novel combat type game device for playing with a real partner in which physical movement of players affects winning or losing. Each of a plurality of players wears a wrist unit (200) and a head unit (100). The wrist unit (200) worn by each of the players includes a movement detector (220) for detecting a predetermined physical movement of a player as an attack movement and a transmitter (260). Upon detection of the attack movement by the movement detector (220), the transmitter (260) transmits a signal having a directivity not spreading more than a predetermined range. Moreover, the head unit (100) is made so as to receive only a signal having directivity. Upon detection of an attack movement of a player by the movement detector (220), the head unit (100) transmits a signal having directivity from the transmitter to a head unit (100) of the game partner. In this game device, winning/losing is decided depending on whether the head unit (100) of the player has received a signal having directivity and transmitted from the transmitter (260) of the game partner when an attack movement is detected by the movement detector (220).

Description

Description Game equipment Technical field

The present invention relates to a game apparatus for determining and competing for an action point based on a player's body movement.

Background art

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-2 8 5 2 4 9 uses a technology in which an acceleration sensor is attached to a glove worn by a player and the movement of the glove is detected by an acceleration sensor to detect the player's body movement. An example of a game device that has been disclosed is disclosed. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-2 4 1 4 3 discloses that an infrared light receiving means is provided in the game apparatus body, and the infrared light emitting means is caused to emit light based on an output of an acceleration sensor provided in a glove worn by a player. An example of a fighting game apparatus of the type that attacks the game character set in the game apparatus main body by receiving the infrared light on the game apparatus main body side is shown.

However, with the conventional game devices as described above, the player is virtually fighting with the machine controlled by the program, and cannot play a game that is hesitant to fight with other real players. It was. In other words, each player's body movements are detected, and based on each player's attack action, the actual opponent player is virtually attacked, or virtual attacks from the opponent player are protected. It was not possible to realize such a fighting game device.

Conventionally, for example, when the trigger of a light beam transmission device (ie, a light gun) with a gun is pulled, a directional light beam is transmitted from the muzzle, and this light beam is separately prepared. There is a toy that determines whether or not it hits. In addition, there is a toy of a battle type in which a plurality of players have a light gun and a target as described above, and compete for whether or not the light hits each other.

These toys can play games that simulate gun battles with other real players, but they only emit light when the player operates the trigger. First, it detects complex body movements such as the player's punching movements, processes this signal and sends / receives it to / from other players, so that the players can fight each other as if they are fighting karate, boxing, etc. It was not something that could be played face-to-face.

On the other hand, in the conventional game device as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-2 8 5 2 49 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-2 4 1 4 3, the movement of the player's body is detected. However, it does not affect the damage point that is virtually added to the opponent player in the game according to the type of movement, and the game progresses only with simple attack action, increasing the game variation It was difficult.

The object of the present invention is to make it possible to make a non-contact battle against a real player in a non-contact manner, and to advance the game by a physical action such as a player's punch. There is no game device to provide.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a game device in which variations can be increased by combining physical movements, and so-called continuous attacks and special attacks can be easily set.

Disclosure of the invention

The game device of the present invention includes an action detection unit, a transmission unit, a reception unit, and a determination processing unit that are attached to the body of a plurality of players. The transmission unit transmits a signal having a predetermined directivity when the body motion is detected by the motion detection unit. In addition, the receiving section is configured to be able to receive signals having the above directivity from other players. The judgment processing unit judges the game contents according to the reception result by the receiving unit (for example, judgment of winning or losing). In this game device, the game proceeds based on whether or not the receiving unit has received the signal having the directivity transmitted from the transmitting unit attached to another player, for example, to compete for victory or defeat. As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to play a game imitating a fight with other real players.

Here, if the player's physical action is not a predetermined action (for example, an attack action with a punch), an attack signal (for example, an infrared signal) is not transmitted from the transmitter. Therefore, unless a player performs a predetermined physical movement, other players cannot be attacked in the game. Therefore, this game progresses by performing the same physical movements as actual fighting, so the reality improves. The player If you do not remember the predetermined physical movements in advance, it will be difficult to gain an advantage in the game. This is similar to the fact that an actual fight cannot be effective unless a so-called type is learned. '

For example, the motion detection unit may be provided with one or more acceleration sensors capable of detecting accelerations in two or more different directions. In this case, the transmission unit is configured to detect an attack action based on the output of the acceleration sensor. Of course, an acceleration sensor that can detect the acceleration of the X, Y, and Z axes may be used. By using the output of the acceleration sensor, not only the direction of body movement but also its strength can be detected, so that the detection accuracy of body movement can be improved.

As the motion detection unit, a motion detection unit having a function capable of detecting the motion direction and motion strength of the player's body motion can be used. Then, an operation point generator that generates points based on the operation direction and the Z or operation intensity detected by the operation detection unit is provided in the determination processing unit. The motion point generation device has a function of classifying body motions as a plurality of types of continuous motions consisting of a combination of a plurality of types of individual motions and two or more individual motions selected from a plurality of types of individual motions in advance. The motion point generator discriminates multiple types of individual motions and multiple types of continuous motions based on the motion direction and Z or motion intensity detected by the motion detector, and outputs the discrimination results. An operation point is generated based on a predetermined point for a plurality of types of individual operations and a plurality of types of continuous operations. If such an operation point generator is used, it is possible to easily determine the outcome based on the operation points generated by the operation point generator. Therefore, it is possible to increase the types of body motions that can be detected without complicating the motion detection structure and motion detection process, and to increase game variations.

In particular, the operating point generator is set so that the points obtained when continuous operation is performed are higher than the points obtained by adding the points obtained individually by two or more individual operations constituting the continuous operation. Set. In this way, the operation point increases when performing more complex continuous movement than individual movement.

(For example, the attack power becomes high), so it is possible to strategically select whether to perform continuous action or individual action in the course of the game. Therefore, further The game variation can be increased and the player's interest in the game can be increased.

The player receives a signal receiving target as a receiving unit, and the judgment processing unit integrates hit judging means for judging whether or not the signal hits and an operation point given by the opponent player. And an operated point integrating unit. The actuated point integration unit accumulates operation points from the signal only when the hit judging means judges hit. In this way, it is possible to accurately determine the win or loss.

It should be noted that the basic idea of point generation adopted in the present invention is not limited to the use only when a transmission unit, a reception unit, infrared ray generation means, or the like is used. For example

A motion detection unit having a function capable of detecting the motion direction and Z or motion intensity of a player's main body motion, and a motion point generation that generates a point based on the motion direction and / or motion intensity detected by the motion detection unit The above-mentioned basic idea of generating points can be applied to all game devices equipped with a device. In general, when an action point generator is identified, the action point generator has a plurality of types of physical movements consisting of a combination of a plurality of types of individual movements and two or more individual movements selected from a plurality of types of individual movements in advance. Based on the motion direction and Z or motion intensity detected by the motion detector, it is classified as continuous motion, and multiple types of individual motions and multiple types of continuous motions are discriminated. It is configured to generate an operation point based on the 卜. The operation point generator sets the points obtained when continuous operation is performed to a higher point than the point obtained by adding the points obtained individually by two or more individual operations constituting the continuous operation. When the present invention is applied to such a game device, at least a motion detection unit, a target used for signal reception, and a transmission unit may be attached to each of a plurality of player bodies. Also, in this case, only when a signal transmitted from a transmitter attached to another player for each of a plurality of players hits the target, an operation point corresponding to the operation direction and Z or the operation intensity is determined from the received signal. A plurality of actuated point integrating units for integrating the are further provided. Here, for example, by detecting a predetermined body movement different from the above movement

Or, operate the switches attached to the transmitter, receiver, etc. attached to the player Thus, the operated point may be changed. As a result, it is possible to provide a fighting-type game device in which not only a player's attacking action but also a defensive action is an important game element.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing a state where two players are playing a fighting game using the fighting game device of the present invention. The two players A and B are equipped with head units 1 0 0 A and 1 0 0 B with built-in receivers on their heads, and wrist units with built-in transmitters ahead of the wrist 2 0 Wear 0 A, 2 0 0 B Yes. In this device, the actuated points of other players are set according to the main action points set based on the player's actions. That is, when the player B moves the wrist in the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction in the figure, the wrist unit 2 0 0 B generates an operation point corresponding to the movement inside. This operation point is transmitted together with a signal output from a transmission unit (to be described later) of the wrist unit 2 0 0 B in order to receive a signal provided to the player's unit 1 0 OA. Player A's head unit 1 0 OA receives the signal to receive player B's operating point as player B's main operating point and stores it as player A's operating point. In this embodiment, by transmitting and receiving signals having directivity, only when each player transmits and receives signals to the other players toward the head unit 1 0 0 and the wrist unit 2 0 0. Set the actuated point. As a result, it is possible to reduce the possibility that an actuated point is set by transmitting / receiving a signal based on an action not intended by the player.

In a fighting game device, the player's physical movement is an attacking action or a defensive action. In particular, the main action point generated by the attack action is the attack point corresponding to the attack power against the opponent. Therefore, the actuated point generated by receiving this main action point becomes a damage point corresponding to the degree of damage caused by the attack received from the opponent.

In such a game device, players A and B show their opponents, for example, fist and karate movements or patterns. Then, the player's own attack points (main action points) generated by this action are sent to the opponent player to increase the damage points (moved points) of the opponent player. In this way, you can fight the opponent in a non-contact manner with the opponent's player.

Head unit 1 0 0 A and head unit 1 0 0 B can be received simultaneously, and list unit 2 0 0 A and list unit 2 0 0 B can be sent simultaneously. In the example of FIG. 1, the X-axis direction is the direction in which the player extends his arm, and the Y-axis direction is the direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction. Actually, the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction are determined by the mounting state of the sensor arranged inside the wrist unit. So this These directions are not uniquely determined.

And on the surface of the list unit 2 0 0, there are a push type switch 2 0 2, an on / off switch 2 0 3 for turning on / off the power of the list unit 2 0 0, and a slave input switch 2 5 5 A transmission unit 2 60 and a list display unit 2 95 are provided. The transmission unit 260 outputs an infrared signal as a signal having directivity to the front when predetermined conditions are met. During the game, the transmitter

The infrared signal output from 2600 is transmitted toward the receiving unit 1 3 0 (FIG. 4) of the other player's head unit 10 0 by the player's shunting operation.

On the back side of the unit support 20 4 made of a flexible material, there are provided a finger insertion band 2 05 for inserting a player's finger and a finger insertion band 2 6. ing. The unit support 20 4 is provided with a wrist fixing band 2 0 8 for fixing the base of the unit support 2 0 4 to the player's wrist. Insert the fingertip into the finger insertion band 2 0 5, insert the base of the finger into the finger insertion band 2 0 6, and attach the wrist fixing band 2 0 8 to the wrist, respectively, so that the unit is the player's wrist It is fixed at the tip. In the examples of FIGS. 2 and 3, the direction in which the player extends his arm is the X-axis direction, and the direction perpendicular to the X-axis direction is the Y-axis direction.

In this example, the reception signal line 1 1 0 and the notification signal line 1 2 0 are shown as wired, but instead of using the reception signal line 1 1 0 and the notification signal line 1 2 0, wireless communication may be used. .

The receiving unit 1 3 0 functions as a target for receiving signals. When the infrared light emitted by another player's transmission 2 6 0 is received, the receiving unit 1 3 0 sends a signal corresponding to the received infrared ray to the operating point generator 2 3 0 via the reception signal line 1 1 0. Output to the operated point setting unit 2 4 0, reception determination unit 2 70, and control unit 2 80.

The head unit notifying unit 14 0 includes a head unit display unit 1 4 2 and a speaker 1 1 4 4. The head unit notifying unit 14 0 inputs the signal output from the control unit 2 80 through the notification signal line 1 2 0, and displays the contents corresponding to the input on the head unit display unit 1 4 2. The start switch 2 0 2 that outputs sound corresponding to the input from the speaker 1 4 4 is a switch for starting the list unit 2 0 0. The storage unit 210 stores information related to actions to be performed by the player and corresponding points associated with this information. Main operation point setting section 2 3 1 In response to a request from the operation determination unit 2 3 2, the storage content stored in the storage unit 2 10 is input to the operation determination unit 2 3 2.

The motion detection unit 220 detects the player's body motion and has a function of detecting the motion direction and motion intensity of the player's main body motion. Note that the motion detection unit 220 may be capable of detecting either the motion direction or the motion intensity. The motion detection unit 220 has an X-axis acceleration sensor 2 2 2 and a Y-axis acceleration sensor 2 24 as a plurality of acceleration sensors that detect acceleration in different directions. Based on the outputs of the plurality of acceleration sensors, the movement direction and the movement intensity of the player in different directions are distinguished and detected, and output to the movement determination unit 2 3 2. Motion detector 2

20 may have a function of detecting only one-way movement of the player. In the present embodiment, the motion detection unit 2 20 is provided in the wrist 2 0 0 attached to the tip of the wrist, so that not only the motion of the entire arm of the player but also the wrist of the player The motion can also be detected separately in the X-axis and Y-axis directions.

As a modification, the same motion detection unit as the motion detection unit 2 20 may be attached to a part other than the wrist unit 2 0 0, for example, a player's foot. In that case, the motion detection unit 220 and the motion detection unit attached to the player's foot detect motions of different parts of the player (from the wrist and the foot).

The operation point generator 2 3 0 has a main operation point setting unit 2 3 1 and an operation determination unit 2

3 2 is provided. Based on the output of the storage unit 2 1 0 and the output of the operation detection unit 2 2 0, the main operation point is set and output to the transmission unit 2 6 0 and the control unit 2 80.

If it is determined whether or not the signal has been hit by the hit determination means 2 1 2 and then it is determined that the signal has been hit, the actuated point setting unit 2 4 0 is output from the receiving unit 1 3 0 The actuated point is set based on the main actuating point of the player and is output to the actuated point integrating unit 2 4 5 and the control unit 2 80. The actuated point setting unit 2 4 0 sets the actuated point according to the output of the slave operation input detection unit 2 5 0.

The operated point integrating unit 2 45 stores the integrated points obtained by integrating the operating points based on the outputs of the operated point setting unit 24 0 and the reception determining unit 2 70, and the integrated point reaches a predetermined value. It is determined whether or not it has been performed, and these are output to the transmitter 2 6 0 and the controller 2 8 0. When the player presses the slave operation input switch 2 5 5, the slave operation input detection unit 2 5 0 detects the player's slave operation input, and the master operation point setting unit 2 3 1, driven point setting unit 2 4 0, output to control unit 2 80 Note that the slave input is called the defense input in the competitive game system. In this example, the subordinate operation point setting unit is configured by the subordinate input switch 2 5 5 and the subordinate input detector 2 5 0. .

As a modification, the same motion input detection unit as the slave motion input detection unit 2500 may be attached to the player's opposite arm. In that case, when the motion detection unit 2 20 detects a specific motion performed by the player, the slave motion input detection unit 25 50 detects it as a slave motion input by the player.

The transmitter 2 6 0 is an infrared signal according to the output of the main operating point setting unit 2 3 1, the output of the operated point integrating unit 2 4 5, the check signal generated by the check signal generator 2 6 5 every predetermined time, Is sent to the receiver 1 3 0 of another player. Here, the transmission unit 2600 projects and transmits infrared rays having directivity that does not extend beyond a preset range.

The reception determination unit 2 70 can receive only an infrared signal having a predetermined frequency, and based on the output from the reception unit 1 3 0, whether or not it has received a check signal from its own transmission unit 2 60 A signal corresponding to the determination result is output to the operated point integrating unit 2 4 5 and the control unit 2 80.

The list notification unit 2 90 has a list display unit 2 9 5, and when a notification control signal is input from the control unit 2 80, the contents corresponding to the input are displayed on the list display unit 2 9 5. .

In the present embodiment, the head unit notifying unit 1 4 0 and the list unit notifying unit 2 9 0 are collectively referred to as “notifying units 1 4 0 and 2 9 0”.

The recording medium 29 8 stores a program for operating the computer provided in the point setting device 20. Recording medium 2 9 8 has a storage module as its functional configuration. Control module, operation detection module, main operation point setting module, operation point setting module, operation point integration module, slave operation input detection module, transmission module, check signal generation module, reception determination module, and control module.

The processing that each module included in this program causes the computer to perform is the same as the operation of the corresponding functional unit in the point setting device 20, and thus description thereof is omitted.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the processing performed by the motion detection unit 220. First, the motion detection unit 2 2 0 determines whether or not the output voltage of the X-axis acceleration sensor 2 2 2 exceeds the threshold value V x (S 1 0 0).

When the threshold value V x is exceeded, the motion detector 2 2 0 determines whether the output voltage of the X-axis acceleration sensor 2 2 2 has exceeded a threshold value V xm that is greater than the threshold value V x. (S 1 1 0). If it has exceeded, the motion detector 2 2 0 detects that a strong motion in the X-axis direction has occurred (S 1 2 0).

On the other hand, if the output voltage of the X-axis acceleration sensor 2 2 2 is less than or equal to the threshold value V xm in step S 1 1 0, the motion detector 2 2 0 detects that there was a weak motion in the X-axis direction. (S 1 3 0)

If the output voltage of the X-axis acceleration sensor 2 2 2 is less than or equal to the threshold V x in step S 1 1 0, the motion detection unit 2 2 0 It is determined whether or not the threshold value V y has been exceeded (S 1 4 0). When the threshold value V y is exceeded, the motion detection unit 2 2 0 detects that there is motion in the Y-axis direction (S 1 5 0 or more, according to the flowchart shown in FIG. The unit 2 20 can detect and detect motions in different directions, that is, the motion detection unit 2 20 detects body motions in multiple directions and Z or multiple intensities.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the player moves in the licking direction with respect to the X and Y axis directions, the X axis acceleration sensor 2 2 2 and the Y axis acceleration sensor 2 2 4 simultaneously generate output voltages.

Here, since the motion detection unit 2 2 0 determines the output voltage in the X-axis direction first ( Step SI 0 0) If the output voltage is generated simultaneously from the X-axis acceleration sensor 2 2 2 and Y-axis acceleration sensor 2 2 4, the output voltage of the Y-axis acceleration sensor 2 2 4 can be ignored.

As a result, the X-axis acceleration sensor 2 2 2. uses the output voltage of the Y-axis acceleration sensor 2 2 4 that is generated when the player stretches his arm in the X-axis direction. The possibility of false detection of a person's movement in the Y-axis direction is reduced.

The competitive game system according to the present embodiment provides a point setting system according to the following rules based on the above configuration.

(1) Set attack points based on multiple actions higher than attack points set based on individual actions.

(2) When receiving the opponent's attack point, if you do nothing, the opponent's attack point is set as a damage point.

(3) If a defense input is made immediately before receiving the opponent's attack point, a value obtained by subtracting a predetermined value from the opponent's attack point is set as the damage point.

(4) The play ends when the accumulated points of one player's damage points reach a predetermined value.

(5) In the middle of performing multiple operations, notify that effect.

(6) If an attack is received from the opponent during multiple actions, the multiple actions are forcibly interrupted.

(7) If a defense input is made while multiple actions are being performed, the multiple actions are forcibly interrupted.

As will be described below, the point setting system 10 implements the above rules using the eighteen software resources of the computer.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a table included in the storage unit 2 10. In FIG. 8, X strong is strong movement in the X-axis direction, X weak is weak movement in the X-axis direction, Y is movement in the Y-axis direction. The memory unit 2 1 0 is a preset predetermined value to be performed by the player As a combination, a plurality of motion orders 1 to 5 including motions in different directions are stored as motion groups 1, 2, and 4, and a plurality of motion sequences 1 to 5 only in the same direction are stored as motion group 3. The storage unit 2 10 also stores the allowable time from one operation to the next operation in the operation groups 1 to 4 and stores the corresponding points associated with the operation groups 1 to 4. . The storage unit 210 may include a plurality of operations of different parts in the operation group.

The storage unit 2 1 0 further stores the actions to be performed by the player who is completed with only one action as individual actions 1 and 2, and also stores individual points associated with the individual actions 1 and 2. .

In addition, the storage unit 2 1 0 stores an operation group 2 including a plurality (three) of strong X corresponding to the individual operation 2, and a plurality of individual points 3P corresponding to the individual operation 2 ( 3) The point 20 P, which is higher than the summed point 9 P, is stored as the corresponding point corresponding to operation group 2. This is the same for operation groups 3 and 4.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart of processing performed by the point setting device 20. When the start switch 2 0 2 is pressed, the point setting device 2 0 transmits / receives the head unit 1 0 0 and the wrist unit 2 0 0 to whether or not the power is turned on. Make initial settings to determine whether or not is normal and start playing (S 2 0 0).

Next, the operating point generator 2 3 0 sets the main operating point (S 3 0 0), and the operated point setting unit 2 4 0 sets the operating point (S 4 0 0). Subsequently, the operated point integrating unit 2 45 determines whether the integrated point of the operated point has reached a predetermined value (S 5 0 0). When it is determined that the predetermined value has been reached, the transmitter 2 60 transmits a message to that effect to the other player's receiver 1 3 0 (S 5 1 0), and the controller 2 80 receives the notification. The parts 1 4 0 and 2 90 are notified of this (S 5 2 0). The content of the notification is that the play has ended and the other players have lost.

If it is not determined in step S500 that the predetermined value has been reached, whether or not the receiving unit 1300 has received that the accumulated points of other player's operated points have reached the predetermined value. Check (S 6 0 0). When the reception is confirmed, the control unit 2 80 informs the notification units 1 4 40 and 2 90 that the play has ended and other players have been won (S 6 1 0). If reception is not confirmed in step S600, it is confirmed whether a predetermined time has elapsed after the start of play (S700). When the predetermined time has elapsed, the point setting device 20 notifies that the play is over and the draw is over (S 7 1 0).

If the predetermined time has not elapsed in step S 7 0 0, the reception determination unit 2 70 is transmitted from its transmission unit 2 60 0 every predetermined time based on the output from the reception unit 1 3 0 It is determined whether or not a check signal has been received (S 7 2 0).

In step S 7 2 0, if the reception determination unit 2 70 does not receive the check signal for a predetermined time, the reception determination unit 2 70 determines that it has not been received normally, and performs control unit 2 8 0 to notify unit 1 4 0, 2 9 Notify 0 to that effect.

In step S 7 20, the reception determination unit 2 70 determines that the play cannot be continued if the check signal is not received for a longer predetermined time, and forcibly increases the integration point of the operated point integration unit 2 4 5. Set to a predetermined value.

In response to this, the actuated point accumulating unit 2 45 determines that the accumulated point of the actuated point has reached a predetermined value (S 5 0 0), and the transmitting unit 2 6 0 determines that this is the case. It is sent to the player's receiver 1 3 0 (S 5 1 0), and the controller 2 8 0 notifies the player 1 4 0 and 2 90 0 that play has ended and the other player has lost. (S 5 2 0)

By such an action of the point setting device 20, one player may cover the receiving unit 13 30 with his hand or cover the receiving unit 13 30 with some sort of obstruction, so that other player's If the reception of the main action point is intentionally interrupted, the reception determining unit 2 70 can notify the player of losing the player who covered the receiving unit 1 3 0 with his / her hand. As a result, the player refrains from unfair play, and the point setting device 20 can remove the disturbance of the player's intentional disturbance and perform accurate modeling.

As described above, according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, the point setting device 20 can set the main operation point and the operated point, and can notify each player of winning or losing as the play progresses.

FIG. 10 is a detailed flowchart of the main operation point setting (step S 3 0 0). The motion point generator 2 30 first checks whether or not the motion detection unit 2 2 0 detects a player's motion (S 3 0 5).

When an operation is detected, the operation point generator 2 3 0 starts from the storage unit 2 1 0 Select all target operation groups and individual operations, and read the next operation stored in them (S 3 1 0). Here, the first operation is read for the first time. Next, the operation discriminating unit 2 3 2 checks whether or not the operation detected by the operation detection unit 2 2 0 is coincident with the operation read from the storage unit 2 1 0 (S 3 1 5). If the operations match, the operation determination unit 2 3 2 checks whether or not the read operation is the final operation (S 3 2

0) o

If it is not the final operation, the operation determination unit 2 3 2 determines whether or not an allowable time has elapsed since the previous operation was detected in step S 3 0 5 (S 3 2 5). Here, the allowable time is the time stored in the operation groups 1 to 4 and is the allowable time from one operation to the next operation.

If the permissible time has not elapsed in step S 3 2 5, the operation discriminating unit 2 3 2 performs the control unit 2 80 and informs the notification units 1 4 0 and 2 9 0 that the main operating point is being prepared for setting. It is notified (S 3 30), and it is confirmed whether or not a main operation point of another player has been input, or whether or not a secondary operation input has been detected (S 3 35).

If there is no such input, the motion determination unit 2 32 confirms whether or not the motion detection unit 2 20 has detected the player's motion (S 3 4 0). When the player's motion is detected, the motion discriminating unit 2 3 2 returns to step S 3 1 0, narrows down all target motions and individual motions, and reads out the next motion.

If the motion detector 2 2 0 does not detect the player's motion at step S 3 4 0, the motion discriminator 2 3 2 will continue to step S 3 3 0-until the allowable time elapses (S 3 2 5). Continue S 3 4 0.

If the main operation point of another player is input or the secondary operation input is detected in step S 3 3 5 during the allowable time, the operation determination unit 2 3 2 will detect the main operation corresponding to the operation group. Cancels the point setting.

In this way, the main operation point setting unit 2 3 1 not only responds to the player's operation by stopping the operation point setting when the main operation point of another player is input, but also other operations. Various main action points can be set according to the player's actions.

In addition, when the slave operation input is detected, the master operation point setting is canceled. Thus, the main action point setting unit 2 3 1 can set various main action points not only according to the player's action but also according to the follower action input.

When the permissible time has elapsed in step S 3 2 5, operation discriminating unit 2 3 2 confirms whether or not an individual operation is selected (S 3 4 5). If the individual operation is not selected, the control unit 2800 informs the notification units 14 40 and 29 0 of the error (step S 3 5 0).

Thus, if the next operation is not performed within the allowable time from the previous operation, the player is required to promptly perform the next operation by notifying an error. The main action point setting unit 2 3 1 can set various main action points not only according to the player's action but also according to the allowable time from one action to the next action. .

In addition, error notification is performed only when the individual action is not selected, so that when the player performs the individual actions 1 and 2, error notification is not erroneously performed.

As a result of the operation discriminating unit 2 3 2 repeating the processing of steps S 3 1 0 to S 3 4 0, the main operation point setting unit 2 3 1 is detected when the final operation is reached in step S 3 2 0. It is determined that the order of operations matches the operation group read from the storage unit, and the corresponding point corresponding to the operation group is read and set as the main operation point (S 3 5 5).

Here, the operation point generator 2 30 sets the main operation point according to an operation group including a plurality of operations in different directions or an operation group including a plurality of operations only in the same direction. The operation point generator 2 30 may also set a main operation point according to an operation group including a plurality of operations of different parts.

In addition, if the individual operation is selected in step S 3 45, the operation point generator 2 30 will detect that the detected operation does not match one operation included in the operation group, but matches the individual operation. Judgment is made, individual points corresponding to individual operations are read out, and set as operation points (S 3 5 5).

Then, the transmission unit 2 60 transmits the main operation point to the other player's reception unit 1 30 (S 3 60), and the control unit 2 80 sends the notification units 1 4 0, 2 90 to Responding to main operating points (S 3 65) and return to the main routine. That is, in the case of the operation group, the transmission unit 2 60 transmits the main operation point after detecting the last operation. As described above, according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

In addition to setting various main action points according to various actions of the player, various main action points are set according to various conditions other than the action of the player. Further, the port setting device 20 notifies the set operation point and transmits it to other players. FIG. 11 is a detailed flowchart of the operation point setting (step S 400). First, the actuated point setting unit 2400 confirms whether or not the main operation point of another player has been input from the receiving unit 130 (S4 05). This step S 4 0 0 is means for determining whether or not the main receiving point as a physical motion of another player hits the target receiving unit 1 3 0.

When the main operation Boyne 卜 of another player is inputted, it is confirmed whether or not the subordinate motion detection unit detects the subordinate motion input (S 4 10). When a slave operation input is detected, the operation point setting unit 2 40 sets a value obtained by subtracting a predetermined point from the main operation point of another player as the operation point (S 4 15).

If the slave operation input is not detected in step S 4 10, the operation point setting unit 2 40 sets the main operation point of the other player as the operation point (S 1 8). In other words, the driven point setting unit 2400 can set and generate different driven points depending on whether or not a slave operation input is detected.

According to the above steps, when the main action point as a physical action of another player hits the target receiving unit 130, the actuated point is set and generated. That is, the player competes for the set operation point depending on whether or not the main operation point is received by the receiving unit 130.

As described above, when the follower action input is performed before the other player's main action point is inputted, the value obtained by subtracting a predetermined point from the other main action point is set as the actuated point. 4 0 sets various actuated points not only according to the main action points of other players but also according to the slave action input. Can.

Next, the control unit 2 80 informs the notification units 1 4 0 and 2 90 0 of the contents corresponding to the operated point (S 4 2 0), and the operated point integration unit 2 4 5 The operating point set by the setting unit 2 4 0 is added to the accumulated point (S 4 2 5). Then, when the control unit 2 80 causes the list display unit 2 9 5 as the notification units 1 4 0 and 2 90 to notify the numerical value corresponding to the accumulated point (S 4 3 0), the control returns to the main level. . The numerical value corresponding to the accumulated point may be increased according to the accumulated point, or may be decreased according to the accumulated point.

As described above, according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 11, the operated point setting unit 2 40 sets the operated point according to the main operation point and the sub operation input of the other player, and the point setting device 20 You can inform it.
