Abstract

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de jeu etc. qui est approprié pour informer un joueur, d’une manière facile à comprendre, d’un moment pour l’entrée, dans un jeu dans lequel un joueur doit effectuer une entrée à un moment donné. Le dispositif de jeu (300) comprend une section de sortie vocale (301) qui reproduit et fournit en sortie une musique, une section de réception (302) qui reçoit l’entrée de la part du joueur, une section d’évaluation (303) qui évalue si le moment où l’entrée a été reçue (moment entré) correspond à un moment quelconque d’une pluralité de moments (moments de référence) fixés de manière à correspondre au rythme de la musique reproduite et fournie en sortie, et une section de détermination (304) qui détermine sur la base d’un résultat d’évaluation de la section d’évaluation (303) s’il faut fournir en sortie un guide vocal. Lorsqu’on décide de fournir en sortie le guide vocal, la section de sortie vocale (301) fournit en outre en sortie une voix prédéterminée comme le guide vocal correspondant au rythme de la musique.
