Description

Computer device, method for controlling computer device, and recording medium

The present invention relates to a computer device that visualizes a three-dimensional virtual space photographed by a virtual camera, a control method for the computer device, and a recording medium.

Conventionally, there is an action game in which a player character moves in a three-dimensional virtual space by a user's operation and subjugates an enemy character such as a monster encountered. In such a game, a frame image obtained by photographing a three-dimensional virtual space including a dynamic object such as a character and a static object such as a building or an item with a virtual camera is displayed on a monitor such as a liquid crystal display.

In addition, in order to realistically express the sense of depth in the virtual space, a technique is known in which a part of the object in the view volume (view frustum) of the virtual camera is focused and other objects are blurred frame images. (See Patent Document 1). In Patent Document 1, an object to be watched by a player is determined based on the aim of a shooting device, and other objects are expressed in a blurred manner.

JP 2003-203250 A

By the way, in Patent Document 1, for example, when an enemy character in a battle moves and moves out of the sight, the enemy character becomes out of focus. In the case of Patent Document 1, when the user changes the aiming direction violently, the target to be focused is frequently switched. The present invention provides a computer device capable of user-friendly focus setting, a control method for the computer device, and a recording medium.

A computer apparatus according to the present invention includes a virtual space generation unit that generates a three-dimensional virtual space, and a camera control unit that controls a virtual camera that captures the virtual space to obtain an image to be displayed on a display unit. The camera control unit adjusts the focus of the virtual camera to a first target that satisfies a predetermined first condition, and a target that satisfies the first condition changes from a first target to a second target. However, when the first target satisfies the predetermined second condition, the focus control unit includes a focus maintaining unit that maintains the focus adjusted to the first target.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a computer device that enables user-friendly focus setting, a control method for the computer device, and a recording medium.

It is a block diagram which shows the hardware constitutions of the game system which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is a block diagram which shows the functional structure of the game system shown in FIG. It is a flowchart for demonstrating the focus process of a virtual camera. It is a schematic diagram which illustrates the frame image produced | generated by the focus process. It is a flowchart for demonstrating the other example of the focus process of a virtual camera.

A control method of a computer device according to the present invention includes a virtual space generation step of generating a three-dimensional virtual space, and a camera control step of controlling a virtual camera that captures the virtual space, the camera control step comprising: A focusing step for focusing the virtual camera on a first object that satisfies a predetermined first condition, and even if a target that satisfies the first condition changes from a first object to a second object, When one object satisfies a predetermined second condition, there is a focus maintaining step for maintaining the focus that has been adjusted to the first object.

A recording medium according to the present invention is a recording medium in which a command executable by a control unit of a computer device is recorded and readable by the computer device, and the command is transmitted to the computer device in a three-dimensional manner. A virtual space generation step for generating a virtual space, and a camera control step for controlling a virtual camera that captures the virtual space are executed, and the camera control step causes the computer device to focus the virtual camera, A focusing step for matching a first object that satisfies a predetermined first condition, and even if the target that satisfies the first condition changes from a first object to a second object, the first object is a predetermined second object. If the condition is satisfied, the focus maintaining step of maintaining the focus that has been adjusted to the first object is further executed.

With such a configuration, even if the first object that has been focused once after satisfying the first condition does not satisfy the first condition due to some factor, the focused state is maintained when the second condition is satisfied. Is done. For example, even if the first target does not satisfy the first condition against the user's intention, the focused state is maintained if the second condition is satisfied, so that the computer is friendly to the user. A device can be realized.

In the computer apparatus, the first condition is that the first target intersects a camera line of sight of the virtual camera, and the second condition is that the first target is a predetermined enemy character or a predetermined item. It may be.

Thereby, even if the first target once in focus is out of the line of sight of the virtual camera, if the first target is a predetermined enemy character or a predetermined item and satisfies the second condition, The in-focus state is maintained.

Further, in the computer apparatus, the camera control unit maintains the focus when the first object in which the focused state is maintained by the focus maintaining unit satisfies a predetermined third condition There may be provided a focus maintaining / releasing unit for canceling.

This can prevent the focused state of the first target that no longer satisfies the first condition from being maintained more than necessary.

In the computer apparatus, the third condition is that (1) a predetermined time has elapsed while the first object does not satisfy the first condition, and (2) the first object is in a predetermined area. It may correspond to at least one of deviating from the above and (3) the enemy character as the first target is in a non-combat state.

Thereby, the focus maintenance for the first object that does not satisfy the first condition can be released at an appropriate timing.

Hereinafter, a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with a game system as an example with reference to the drawings. Here, an action game in which the user operates the motion of the player character in the three-dimensional virtual game space is illustrated. However, the present invention can be applied to other types of games as long as it can display a three-dimensional virtual space on a monitor, and can also be applied to general CG video software as well as games. .

[Hardware configuration of game system]
As shown in FIG. 1, the game device (game system) 1 can communicate with another game device 2 and the server device 3 via a communication network such as the Internet or a LAN. The game apparatus 1 includes a CPU 10 that controls the operation of the game apparatus 1. A disk drive 12, a memory card slot 13, an HDD 14 and a ROM 15 that constitute program storage means, and a RAM 16 are connected to the CPU 10 via a bus 11. .

The disk drive 12 can be loaded with a disk-type recording medium 30 such as a DVD-ROM. The recording medium 30 includes a game program (computer program) 30a, characters (player characters, teammate characters, enemy characters, etc.) appearing in the game, objects and textures necessary to form a virtual game space, and the like. The game data 30b is also recorded. In addition, a card-type recording medium 31 can be loaded in the memory card slot 13, and save data indicating a play status such as a game progress can be recorded in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 10.

HDD 14 is a large-capacity recording medium built in game device 1. The game program 30a and game data 30b read from the recording medium 30 and further save data and the like are recorded in the HDD. The ROM 15 is a semiconductor memory such as a mask ROM or PROM. An activation program for activating the game apparatus 1 and a program for controlling an operation when the recording medium 30 is loaded are recorded in the ROM 15. The RAM 16 is composed of DRAM or SRAM. A game program 30a to be executed by the CPU 10, game data 30b necessary for the execution, and the like are read from the recording medium 30 or the HDD 14 and temporarily recorded in the RAM 16 according to the game play status.

The CPU 10 is further connected to a graphic processing unit 17, an audio synthesis unit 20, a wireless communication control unit 23, and a network interface 26 via the bus 11.

Among these, the graphic processing unit 17 draws a game image (frame image) including the virtual game space, each character, and the like in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 10. Further, an external display (display unit) 19 is connected to the graphic processing unit 17 via a video processing unit 18, and the frame image drawn by the graphic processing unit 17 is processed by the video processing unit 18, and further Displayed on the display 19.

The audio synthesizer 20 reproduces and synthesizes digital game sound in accordance with instructions from the CPU 10. An external speaker 22 is connected to the audio synthesis unit 20 via an audio conversion unit 21. Accordingly, the game sound reproduced and synthesized by the audio synthesizing unit 20 is decoded into an analog format by the audio converting unit 21 and further outputted from the speaker 22 to the outside.

The wireless communication control unit 23 has a 2.4 GHz band wireless communication module, is wirelessly connected to the controller 24 attached to the game apparatus 1, and can transmit and receive data. The user can input a signal to the game apparatus 1 by operating an operator (not shown) such as a button provided on the controller 24, and control the movement of the player character displayed on the display 19. Is possible.

The network interface 26 connects the game apparatus 1 to a communication network such as the Internet or a LAN. Accordingly, the game apparatus 1 can communicate with another game apparatus 2 or the server apparatus 3 via the network interface 26. The game device 1 and the other game device 2 send and receive data to and from each other via a communication network, thereby causing a plurality of player characters to operate synchronously in the same game space, and the state of each game device 1, It is displayed on the display 19 connected to 2. Therefore, multiplay is possible.

[Functional configuration of game system]
As shown in FIG. 2, the game apparatus 1 can implement functions such as a virtual space generation unit 40, a character control unit 41, a game progress control unit 42, and a camera control unit 43 by executing a game program 30a on the CPU 10. .

The virtual space generation unit 40 generates a three-dimensional virtual game space. That is, the virtual space generation unit 40 generates a three-dimensional virtual game space that becomes a field in which the game progresses, based on data such as objects and textures modeled using polygons and the like included in the game data 30b.

The character control unit 41 generates characters such as a player character and an enemy character that are modeled in advance in the virtual game space, and controls the movement according to the user's operation and the game situation. For example, when the user operates the controller 24, the player character moves in the virtual game space and attacks the enemy character. Further, the character control unit 41 causes the enemy character to act according to a preset thought pattern.

The game progress control unit 42 controls the progress of the game according to the user's operation and the passage of time in the game. For example, when the player character performs a predetermined action by a user operation, the game progress control unit 42 generates a predetermined event and reproduces a predetermined moving image for a predetermined period. Furthermore, the game progress control unit 42 changes the environment of the virtual game space as the in-game time elapses. For example, the light source in the three-dimensional space is changed according to the passage of time in the game, and fog is generated in the virtual game space according to the situation.

The camera control unit 43 controls a virtual camera that captures a virtual game space in order to obtain a game image to be displayed on the display 19. For example, the camera control unit 43 controls the direction of the line of sight of the virtual camera, the zoom, the aperture amount, and the like according to the operation of the controller 24 by the user, and performs a focus process for focusing on a predetermined object. Further, the camera control unit 43 generates a two-dimensional frame image at a predetermined frame rate (for example, 30 frames per second) by shooting the virtual game space with the virtual camera, and the images are sequentially displayed on the display 19. Is done.

The camera control unit 43 includes a focusing unit 43a, a focus maintaining unit 43b, and a focus maintenance releasing unit 43c.

The focusing unit 43a focuses the virtual camera on a target that satisfies a predetermined first condition (hereinafter referred to as a first object). Even when the target that satisfies the first condition changes from the first object to the second object, the focus maintaining unit 43b adjusts to the first object if the first object satisfies the predetermined second condition. Maintain the focus. The focus maintaining / releasing unit 43c cancels the state of maintaining the focus when the first object maintained in focus by the focus maintaining unit 43b satisfies the predetermined third condition.

[Focus processing 1]
Next, the focus process of the virtual camera by the camera control unit 43 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 3, the focusing unit 43a of the camera control unit 43 identifies an object that satisfies the first condition and focuses on the target (step S1). First, a target that satisfies the first condition is defined as a “first object”. Thereafter, the focusing unit 43a determines whether or not the target satisfying the first condition has changed from the first object to the second object (step S2). As a result of the determination, if there is no change in the target that satisfies the first condition, step S2 is repeated, and if there is a change, the process proceeds to step S3.

In step S3, the focus maintaining unit 43b of the camera control unit 43 determines whether or not the first object satisfies a predetermined second condition (a condition different from the first condition). If the second condition is satisfied (step S3: YES), the focusing unit 43a maintains a state where the virtual camera is focused on the first object (step S4). On the other hand, when the second condition is not satisfied (step S3: NO), the focusing unit 43a switches the focus that has been adjusted to the first object and focuses the second object (step S5).

Such a series of focus processing is executed at a predetermined timing such as every frame. When the second object is focused in step S5, step S1 in FIG. 3 is executed with the second object as the first object.

Here, the operation of each step shown in FIG. 3 and the contents of each condition will be described in detail below.

The “first condition” in step S1 may be that the object intersects the line of sight (camera line of sight) set in the virtual camera. In this case, in step S1, the camera control unit 43 focuses on the object closest to the virtual camera among the objects intersecting with the camera line of sight.

For example, in “frame image No. 1” in FIG. 4, a camera line of sight 50 is set at the center position of the display 19 (in FIG. 4, schematically indicated by a cross mark). A character C1 other than the player character exists in the virtual game space, and the camera line of sight 50 intersects with the character C1. Accordingly, in step S1, the camera control unit 43 determines that the character C1 is the first object, and focuses the virtual camera on the character C1.

In FIG. 4, the outline of the focused object is indicated by a solid line, and the inside thereof is hatched. In addition, the outline of the object that is out of focus is indicated by a broken line and is outlined. For example, an out-of-focus object is displayed differently from the in-focus object by blurring or the like using a filter or the like.

In step S2, the camera control unit 43 determines a change in a target that satisfies the first condition. For example, the first object C1 moves or the direction of the virtual camera is changed by a user operation. In this case, as shown in “frame image No. 2” in FIG. 4, the object intersecting with the camera line of sight 50 is the first object C1 to the second object C2 (other characters, other items, etc. In FIG. It changes to the door ".)". Such a situation is assumed as an example of the change of the target satisfying the first condition. In the conventional game, the focus of the virtual camera is switched from the first object C1 to the second object C2 at this time.

In step S3, the camera control unit 43 determines whether or not the first object C1 satisfies a predetermined second condition. The “second condition” may be a condition that the first object C1 is a predetermined character or that the first object C1 is a predetermined item. More specifically, the predetermined character may be an enemy character (or an enemy character that satisfies a predetermined condition in the status such as attack power), a character having high importance, or the like. In addition, the predetermined item may be an item with high importance or a rare item that is difficult to acquire.

If the second condition is satisfied, the focused state with respect to the first object C1 is maintained (step S4; “see frame image No. 3” in FIG. 4). On the other hand, if the second condition is not satisfied, the focus of the virtual camera is switched from the first object C1 to the second object C2, as indicated by “frame image No. 4” in FIG.

Note that whether or not each object satisfies the second condition may be recorded in advance in the game data 30b as in the above example. In this case, the focus maintaining unit 43b refers to the game data 30b when executing step S3, and determines whether or not the first object C1 satisfies the second condition.

Further, the camera control unit 43 may determine whether each object satisfies the second condition based on the progress of the game. For example, occurrence or clearing of a predetermined event during the game may be set as the second condition. In this case, the camera control unit 43 determines that the second condition is not satisfied for a certain object before the user clears the predetermined event. After the user clears the event, the camera control unit 43 determines that the second condition is satisfied for the object.

According to the above focus processing, for example, it is assumed that after a camera gaze crosses a certain character and the camera is focused (step S1), the camera gaze deviates from the character (step S2: YES). In this case, if a predetermined second condition such as the character is an enemy character is satisfied (step S3: YES), the focused state for the character is maintained (step S4). Therefore, the user can easily see the enemy character, and the game is easy to play.

Also, for example, after the camera line of sight intersects and focuses on an item (step S1), the camera line of sight deviates from the item (step S2: YES). Even in this case, if a predetermined second condition such as high importance is satisfied (step S3: YES), the focused state for the item is maintained (step S4). As a result, the user is less likely to forget to take items.

[Focus processing 2]
Another example of the focus processing by the camera control unit 43 will be described with reference to FIG. In the focus process shown in FIG. 5, the same processes as those shown in FIG. 3 are performed in steps S1 to S5. On the other hand, when the focus on the first object C1 that satisfies the second condition is maintained in step S4, the focus maintenance releasing unit 43c determines whether or not the first object C1 satisfies the third condition. Judgment is made (step S6). If the third condition is satisfied (step S6: YES), the focus maintaining / releasing unit 43c cancels the focus maintaining for the first object C1 (step S7).

Here, as the “third condition” of step S6, at least one of the following conditions (1) to (3) is selected and adopted while the first object C1 does not satisfy the first condition. May be.

(1) A predetermined time has passed,
(2) The first object C1 deviates from the predetermined area, and
(3) The first object C1 is an enemy character, and the enemy character is in a non-combat state (not attacking).

For example, when the condition (1) is employed, the focus maintaining / releasing unit 43c determines that the third condition is satisfied when a predetermined time such as 3 seconds or 5 seconds elapses in step S6 while the camera line of sight does not intersect the first object C1. Judge that it satisfies. Then, the focus maintenance for the first object C1 is canceled. In this case, the focusing unit 43a newly focuses on an object that intersects the camera line of sight at the time of release.

When the condition (2) is adopted, the focus maintaining / releasing unit 43c, in step S6, leaves the first object C1 out of the angle of view of the virtual camera while the first object C1 does not intersect the camera line of sight. If it deviates from the predetermined area, it is determined that the third condition is satisfied. Then, the focus maintenance cancellation unit 43c cancels the focus maintenance for the first object C1. As the predetermined area, in addition to setting the field angle range that can be displayed on the display 19 as described above, a field angle range narrower than the display range of the display 19 or a field angle range wider than the display range of the display 19 may be set. . Alternatively, even if it is determined that the first object C1 deviates from the predetermined area (that is, the third condition is satisfied) when the first object C1 moves behind the other objects and is not displayed. Good. Even if the object moves behind, if the other object is a transparent object, it may be determined that the focus is maintained.

Further, when the condition (3) is adopted, the focus maintaining / releasing unit 43c determines that the enemy character C1 enters a non-combat state in step S6 while the camera character does not intersect the enemy character C1 that is the first object. , It is determined that the third condition is satisfied. Then, the focus maintenance for the first object C1 is canceled. Whether or not the enemy character C1 is in the non-combat state is determined by the focus maintaining / releasing unit 43c by sequentially checking the status of the enemy character C1 in the game data 30b.

Furthermore, a combination of a plurality of the above (1) to (3) may be set as the third condition. For example, two of (1) to (3) may be adopted, and if one of them is applicable (or both are applicable), it may be recognized that the third condition is satisfied. Alternatively, all of (1) to (3) may be adopted, and if any one of them is applicable (or if all are applicable), it may be recognized that the third condition is satisfied. In addition, a predetermined condition (4) other than the above (1) to (3) may be adopted as a condition that satisfies the third condition, and a part of the above (1) to (3) It may be replaced with condition (4).

According to the above focus processing, even if an object is kept in focus, it is possible to prevent the focus from being kept unnecessarily by releasing focus maintenance at an appropriate timing. it can.

[Other aspects]
The first condition is not limited to that described above, and other conditions may be adopted. For example, regardless of the positional relationship with the camera line of sight, “the object closest to the virtual camera within the view volume of the virtual camera” may be set as the first condition. The second condition is not limited to that described above, and other conditions may be adopted. For example, when the first object is an enemy character, “enemy character in a battle state with the player character” may be set as the second condition. If it does so, it becomes a game which can always focus on the enemy character in battle | competition, and is easy for a user to play.

Further, when another small object (for example, a rare item) is included in the large object (for example, in the drawer) focused on in step S1, and the small object satisfies the second condition (step S3: YES) The focus maintenance in step S4 may be executable for a large object. Alternatively, until the play time in the area reaches a predetermined threshold, the focus maintenance target in step S4 is limited to a small object that can be visually recognized, but after the play time reaches the threshold, the small object is large. Even in a state (invisible state) included in the object, the focus may be maintained in step S4 for the large object instead of the small object. In this case, since it becomes easy to find the small object in the large object, the user can easily play the game.
