　本発明は、ユーザがゲームをプレイするためのプログラムおよび携帯端末に関する。 The present invention relates to a program and a mobile terminal for a user to play a game.
　従来より、特許文献１に記載するように、ＧＰＳ（Ｇｌｏｂａｌ　Ｐｏｓｉｔｉｏｎｉｎｇ　Ｓｙｓｔｅｍ）を利用した体感型のゲームが知られている。特許文献１に記載されたゲームの場合、現実世界の地理情報をゲーム世界に反映するとともに、ＧＰＳに基づいて特定した現実世界のユーザの位置に対応するゲーム世界上の位置にユーザのキャラクタを出現させる。そして、ユーザに近い現実世界のランドマークに対応するゲーム世界上の位置にゲームのキャラクタやアイテムを出現させる。 2.

　以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
　図１は、本発明の一実施の形態に係る、体感型のゲームをプレイ可能な携帯端末の斜視図である。また、図２は、携帯端末の構成を示すブロック図である。 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a mobile terminal capable of playing a sensation type game according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the mobile terminal.
　図１に示す本実施の形態の携帯端末１０は、携帯可能な、例えばスマートフォンなどの携帯電話であって、ＧＰＳ（Ｇｌｏｂａｌ　Ｐｏｓｉｔｉｏｎｉｎｇ　Ｓｙｓｔｅｍ）を利用した体感型のゲームをプレイ可能に構成されている。なお、ここで言う、「体感型のゲーム」とは、単なるビデオゲームと異なり、指での操作が反映されるだけでなく、ユーザが現実世界で移動することもゲーム内容に反映されるゲームを言う。すなわち、ユーザが現実世界を移動することもゲームプレイに含まれている。 A portable terminal 10 according to the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is a portable mobile phone such as a smartphone, and is configured to play a bodily sensation-type game using GPS (Global Positioning System). Note that the “sensation-type game” referred to here is a game in which not only a finger operation is reflected, but also the movement of the user in the real world is reflected in the game content, unlike a simple video game. To tell. That is, it is included in the game play that the user moves in the real world.
　図１および図２に示すように、携帯端末１０は、タッチスクリーン１２およびスピーカ１４を有する。タッチスクリーン１２は、ユーザに画像を示すことができる出力デバイスであって、かつ、ユーザが携帯端末１０に対して信号を入力することができる入力デバイスでもある。また、スピーカ１４は、ユーザに対して音情報を出力することができる出力デバイスである。ユーザは、タッチスクリーン１２に表示されるゲーム画面を見ながら、またスピーカ１４から出力される音楽や音声を聴きながら、タッチスクリーン１２に対してタッチ、スワイプなどの操作を行ってゲームをプレイする。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mobile terminal 10 includes a touch screen 12 and a speaker 14. The touch screen 12 is an output device that can display an image to the user, and also an input device that allows the user to input a signal to the mobile terminal 10. The speaker 14 is an output device that can output sound information to the user. The user plays a game by touching and swiping the touch screen 12 while watching the game screen displayed on the touch screen 12 and listening to music and sound output from the speaker 14.
　また、図２に示すように、携帯端末１０は、タッチスクリーン１２やスピーカ１４以外に、様々な構成要素を有する。具体的には、本実施の形態の場合、携帯端末１０は、ＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０、気圧センサ２２、三軸加速度センサ２４、三軸ジャイロセンサ２６、地磁気センサ２８、インターネット接続デバイス３０、カメラ３２、および記憶デバイス３４を有する。さらに、携帯端末１０は、これらのセンサやデバイスなどから取得した情報を処理するプロセッサ３６を有する。プロセッサ３６は、ＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０、気圧センサ２２、三軸加速度センサ２４、三軸ジャイロセンサ２６、地磁気センサ２８、インターネット接続デバイス３０、およびカメラ３２のそれぞれと接続され、これらそれぞれと信号のやり取りが可能である。 Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 10 has various components in addition to the touch screen 12 and the speaker 14. Specifically, in the case of the present embodiment, the mobile terminal 10 includes a GPS signal receiving device 20, an atmospheric pressure sensor 22, a triaxial acceleration sensor 24, a triaxial gyro sensor 26, a geomagnetic sensor 28, an Internet connection device 30, and a camera 32. And a storage device 34. Furthermore, the mobile terminal 10 includes a processor 36 that processes information acquired from these sensors and devices.

Is possible.
　ＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０は、ＧＮＳＳ（Ｇｌｏｂａｌ　Ｎａｖｉｇａｔｉｏｎ　Ｓａｔｅｌｌｉｔｅ　Ｓｙｓｔｅｍ）の一例であるＧＰＳの複数のＧＰＳ衛星からの信号（ＧＰＳ信号）を受信し、その受信した信号に基づいてＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０、すなわちＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０が搭載された携帯端末１０の位置を算出する。なお、ＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０は、携帯端末１０の空間位置（三次元位置）、例えば、緯度、経度、および高度を算出することができる。しかしながら、誤差が大きい等の理由により、本実施の形態の場合、高度の変化量の算出にはＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０は使用されない。詳細な理由については後述する。 The GPS signal receiving device 20 receives signals (GPS signals) from a plurality of GPS satellites of GPS, which is an example of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), and based on the received signals, the GPS signal receiving device 20, that is, GPS The position of the mobile terminal 10 on which the signal receiving device 20 is mounted is calculated. The GPS signal receiving device 20 can calculate the spatial position (three-dimensional position) of the mobile terminal 10, for example, the latitude, longitude, and altitude. However, in the case of the present embodiment, the GPS signal receiving device 20 is not used for calculating the amount of change in altitude due to a large error. The detailed reason will be described later.
　気圧センサ２２は、携帯端末１０周りの気圧を検出する。例えば、気圧センサ２２は、絶対気圧を検出結果と出力する圧力センサであってもよいし、大気圧を基準とするゲージ圧を検出する圧力センサであってもよい。本実施の形態の場合、詳細は後述するが、気圧センサ２２によって検出された気圧は、携帯端末１０の高度の変化量の算出に使用される。 The atmospheric pressure sensor 22 detects the atmospheric pressure around the mobile terminal 10. For example, the atmospheric pressure sensor 22 may be a pressure sensor that outputs absolute atmospheric pressure as a detection result, or may be a pressure sensor that detects a gauge pressure based on atmospheric pressure. In the case of the present embodiment, although details will be described later, the atmospheric pressure detected by the atmospheric pressure sensor 22 is used for calculating the amount of change in altitude of the mobile terminal 10.
　三軸加速度センサ２４は、携帯端末１０に定義されている直交し合う３軸の延在方向（例えば、図１に示すＸ、Ｙ、およびＺ軸方向）それぞれについて、ユーザとともに移動する携帯端末１０の加速度を検出する。 The triaxial acceleration sensor 24 moves along with the user in each of the extending directions of three orthogonal axes defined in the portable terminal 10 (for example, the X, Y, and Z axis directions shown in FIG. 1). The acceleration of is detected.
　三軸ジャイロセンサ２６は、３軸それぞれを中心とする角速度を検出する。 The triaxial gyro sensor 26 detects angular velocities about the three axes.
　地磁気センサ２８は、携帯端末１０を基準にして東西南北の方位を検出する。 The geomagnetic sensor 28 detects the direction of east, west, south, and north with respect to the mobile terminal 10.
　インターネット接続デバイス３０は、インターネットに接続するためのデバイスであって、本実施の形態の場合、電話回線を介してインターネットに接続するデバイスである。これに代わってまたはこれに加えて、インターネット接続デバイス３０は、公衆無線ＬＡＮ（Ｌｏｃａｌ　Ａｒｅａ　Ｎｅｔｗｏｒｋ）に接続できるワイヤレスＬＡＮアダプタであってもよい。ゲーム中においては、ゲーム会社のサーバーからインターネットを介してデータをダウンロードするために、インターネット接続デバイス３０は使用される。 The Internet connection device 30 is a device for connecting to the Internet, and in the case of this embodiment, is a device connected to the Internet via a telephone line. Alternatively or in addition, the Internet connection device 30 may be a wireless LAN adapter that can be connected to a public wireless LAN (Local Area Network). During the game, the internet connection device 30 is used to download data from the game company server via the internet.
　カメラ３２は、携帯端末１０周辺を撮影する。 The camera 32 photographs the periphery of the mobile terminal 10.
　記憶デバイス３４は、データを記憶する例えばメモリであって、本実施の形態の場合、ゲームプログラムＧＰが記憶されている。ゲームプログラムＧＰは、携帯端末１０のメモリにプレインストールされている、またはインターネット接続デバイス３０を介してゲーム会社のサーバーからダウンロードされてインストールされている。なお、ゲームプログラムＧＰが予め記憶されたＣＤ－ＲＯＭ、ＤＶＤ－ＲＯＭ、ＵＳＢメモリなどの、記憶端末１０の外部の記憶媒体を介して、携帯端末１０のメモリにゲームプログラムＧＰがインストールされてもよい。 The storage device 34 is, for example, a memory that stores data. In the case of the present embodiment, the storage device 34 stores a game program GP. The game program GP is preinstalled in the memory of the mobile terminal 10 or downloaded from the game company server via the Internet connection device 30 and installed. Note that the game program GP may be installed in the memory of the mobile terminal 10 via a storage medium external to the storage terminal 10 such as a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or USB memory in which the game program GP is stored in advance. .
　プロセッサ３６は、例えばＣＰＵなどの演算処理装置であって、記憶デバイス３４に記憶されているゲームプログラムＧＰにしたがって、以下のように動作する。その動作を図３に示す一例のフローチャートを参照しながら説明する。 The processor 36 is an arithmetic processing unit such as a CPU, for example, and operates as follows according to the game program GP stored in the storage device 34. The operation will be described with reference to an example flowchart shown in FIG.
　まず、図３に示すプロセッサ３６の一連の動作は、タッチスクリーン１２への操作を介して、ユーザがゲームを開始してから（ゲームプログラムＧＰが起動されてから）、ユーザがゲームを終了させるまで繰り返される。 First, a series of operations of the processor 36 shown in FIG. 3 is performed after the user starts the game (after the game program GP is activated) through the operation on the touch screen 12 until the user ends the game. Repeated.
　まず、プロセッサ３６は、ユーザ（すなわち携帯端末１０）の空間位置の特定を開始する。そのために、プロセッサ３６は、携帯端末１０の平面位置（二次元位置）を特定する。 First, the processor 36 starts specifying the spatial position of the user (that is, the mobile terminal 10). For this purpose, the processor 36 specifies the planar position (two-dimensional position) of the mobile terminal 10.
　携帯端末１０の平面位置を特定するために、ステップＳ１１０において、ＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０がＧＰＳ衛星からのＧＰＳ信号を受信しているか否かが判定される。ＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０がＧＰＳ信号を受信している場合、ステップＳ１２０に進む。そうでない場合、ステップＳ１３０に進む。 In order to specify the plane position of the mobile terminal 10, it is determined in step S110 whether or not the GPS signal receiving device 20 has received a GPS signal from a GPS satellite. If the GPS signal receiving device 20 is receiving a GPS signal, the process proceeds to step S120. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S130.
　ステップＳ１２０において、プロセッサ３６は、ＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０がＧＰＳ信号に基づいて算出した緯度および経度を、携帯端末１０の平面位置として特定する（決定する）。その特定された緯度および経度は、記憶デバイス３４に保存される。なお、緯度および経度が特定される度に、その特定された緯度および経度が情報（データ）として記憶デバイス３４に記憶される。 In step S120, the processor 36 specifies (determines) the latitude and longitude calculated by the GPS signal receiving device 20 based on the GPS signal as the plane position of the mobile terminal 10. The identified latitude and longitude are stored in the storage device 34. Each time the latitude and longitude are specified, the specified latitude and longitude are stored in the storage device 34 as information (data).
　一方、例えば携帯端末１０を携帯するユーザがトンネルなどに入るなどしてＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０がＧＰＳ信号を受信できない場合、ステップＳ１３０において、プロセッサ３６は、三軸加速度センサ２４、三軸ジャイロセンサ２６、および地磁気センサ２８から、これらの検出結果である加速度、角速度、および方位（情報）を取得する。 On the other hand, when the GPS signal receiving device 20 cannot receive a GPS signal, for example, when a user carrying the mobile terminal 10 enters a tunnel or the like, in step S130, the processor 36, the triaxial acceleration sensor 24, the triaxial gyro sensor 26, and the like. , And the geomagnetic sensor 28, the acceleration, angular velocity, and direction (information), which are detection results, are acquired.
　ステップＳ１４０において、プロセッサ３６は、ステップＳ１３０で取得した加速度、角速度、および方位（情報）に基づいて、具体的には、加速度の変化、角速度の変化、および方位の変化に基づいて、携帯端末１０の移動軌跡を算出する。なお、加速度の変化、角速度の変化、および方位の変化を算出するために、三軸加速度センサ２４、三軸ジャイロセンサ２６、および地磁気センサ２８が加速度、角速度、および方位を検出する度に、その検出された加速度、角速度、および方位が記憶デバイス３４に記憶されて蓄積される。 In step S140, the processor 36, based on the acceleration, angular velocity, and direction (information) acquired in step S130, specifically, based on the change in acceleration, the change in angular velocity, and the change in orientation, the mobile terminal 10 Is calculated. In order to calculate a change in acceleration, a change in angular velocity, and a change in azimuth, each time the three-axis acceleration sensor 24, the three-axis gyro sensor 26, and the geomagnetic sensor 28 detect acceleration, angular velocity, and azimuth, The detected acceleration, angular velocity, and direction are stored in the storage device 34 and accumulated.
　ステップＳ１５０において、プロセッサ３６は、記憶デバイス３４に記憶されている最新の緯度および経度（情報）、すなわちＧＰＳ信号が受信不可能になる直前にＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０によって算出された緯度および経度を取得する。 In step S150, the processor 36 obtains the latest latitude and longitude (information) stored in the storage device 34, that is, the latitude and longitude calculated by the GPS signal receiving device 20 immediately before the GPS signal becomes unreceivable. To do.
　ステップＳ１６０において、プロセッサ３６は、ステップＳ１５０で記憶デバイス３４から取得した緯度および経度と、ステップＳ１４０で算出した携帯端末１０の移動軌跡とに基づいて、携帯端末１０の平面位置を特定する。すなわち、ＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０が最後に算出した緯度および経度の位置からステップＳ１４０で算出した移動軌跡にしたがって携帯端末１０が移動したものとして、携帯端末１０の平面位置を特定する。なお、三軸加速度センサ２４と三軸ジャイロセンサ２６それぞれの検出結果に基づいて携帯端末１０の移動軌跡を高精度に算出できるのであれば、その移動軌跡の算出に地磁気センサ２８の検出結果を用いなくてもよい。 In step S160, the processor 36 specifies the planar position of the mobile terminal 10 based on the latitude and longitude acquired from the storage device 34 in step S150 and the movement trajectory of the mobile terminal 10 calculated in step S140. That is, the plane position of the mobile terminal 10 is specified as the mobile terminal 10 has moved according to the movement locus calculated in step S140 from the position of the latitude and longitude calculated last by the GPS signal receiving device 20. If the movement trajectory of the mobile terminal 10 can be calculated with high accuracy based on the detection results of the triaxial acceleration sensor 24 and the triaxial gyro sensor 26, the detection result of the geomagnetic sensor 28 is used to calculate the movement trajectory. It does not have to be.
　ステップＳ１２０またはステップＳ１６０で携帯端末１０の平面位置が特定されると、次に、プロセッサ３６は、携帯端末１０の高さ位置（高度）を算出するために機能する（携帯端末１０の高度算出部として機能する）。 When the plane position of the mobile terminal 10 is specified in step S120 or step S160, the processor 36 functions to calculate the height position (altitude) of the mobile terminal 10 (the altitude calculation unit of the mobile terminal 10). Function as).
　そのために、プロセッサ３６は、まず、ステップＳ１７０において、気圧センサ２２から気圧（情報）を取得する。 For this purpose, the processor 36 first acquires the atmospheric pressure (information) from the atmospheric pressure sensor 22 in step S170.
　次に、ステップＳ１８０において、プロセッサ３６は、ステップＳ１７０で取得した気圧に基づいて、プロセッサ３６は携帯端末１０の高度を算出する。例えば、気圧の変化に基づいて携帯端末１０の高度を算出する。具体的には、高度を算出する度に、その高度は、その算出時の気圧とともに、その気圧と対応付けされた状態で記憶デバイス３４に記憶されている。気圧センサ２２によって前回検出された気圧と今回検出された気圧との間の気圧の変化量から高さ方向の移動距離が算出される。その算出された移動距離を、前回検出された気圧に対応付けされて記憶デバイス３４に記憶されている高度に加えることにより、移動完了後、すなわち今回検出された気圧に対応する携帯端末１０の高度が算出される。なお、ゲームが開始されて（ゲームプログラムＧＰが起動して）気圧センサ２２が初めて気圧を検出したとき、その気圧に対応する高度（ゲーム開始時の高度）として、例えば、ＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０によって算出された高度が採用されてもよい。それ以後は、上述したように、ＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０によって算出される高度は使用されない。 Next, in step S180, the processor 36 calculates the altitude of the mobile terminal 10 based on the atmospheric pressure acquired in step S170. For example, the altitude of the mobile terminal 10 is calculated based on the change in atmospheric pressure. Specifically, every time the altitude is calculated, the altitude is stored in the storage device 34 in a state associated with the atmospheric pressure along with the atmospheric pressure at the time of calculation. The movement distance in the height direction is calculated from the amount of change in atmospheric pressure between the atmospheric pressure detected by the atmospheric pressure sensor 22 last time and the atmospheric pressure detected this time. By adding the calculated movement distance to the altitude stored in the storage device 34 in association with the previously detected atmospheric pressure, the altitude of the mobile terminal 10 corresponding to the atmospheric pressure detected this time after the movement is completed. Is calculated. When the atmospheric pressure sensor 22 detects the atmospheric pressure for the first time after the game is started (the game program GP is activated), the altitude corresponding to the atmospheric pressure (the altitude at the start of the game) is, for example, by the GPS signal receiving device 20 The calculated altitude may be adopted. Thereafter, as described above, the altitude calculated by the GPS signal receiving device 20 is not used.
　このように、携帯端末１０の高度を気圧センサ２２の検出結果に基づいて取得する理由は、気圧センサ２２を使用することにより、ＧＰＳ信号に基づいて高度を取得し続ける場合に比べて、安定した高い精度で高度（すなわち、高度の算出に必要な高度の変化量）を取得し続けることができるからである。例えば、ＧＰＳ信号に基づく場合、ＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０に対して信号を送信できるＧＰＳ衛星の数によって、高度の精度が異なる（精度が安定していない）。例えば、現行のＧＰＳの場合、約１０ｍの誤差が存在する。また、ＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０がＧＰＳ信号を受信できず、そのために高度を取得できない場合がある（高度を取得し続けることができない）。 Thus, the reason for acquiring the altitude of the portable terminal 10 based on the detection result of the atmospheric pressure sensor 22 is more stable than using the atmospheric pressure sensor 22 as compared with the case where the altitude is continuously acquired based on the GPS signal. This is because the altitude (that is, the amount of change in altitude necessary for calculating the altitude) can be continuously acquired with high accuracy. For example, when based on a GPS signal, the altitude accuracy varies depending on the number of GPS satellites that can transmit signals to the GPS signal receiving device 20 (accuracy is not stable). For example, in the case of current GPS, there is an error of about 10 m. In addition, the GPS signal receiving device 20 may not receive a GPS signal, and accordingly, the altitude may not be acquired (the altitude cannot be continuously acquired).
　一方、気圧センサ２２に基づく場合、ＧＰＳ信号受信デバイス２０がＧＰＳ信号受信可能な状態にあるか否かにかかわらず、高度を取得し続けることができる。また、３０ｃｍ程度の安定した分解能で高度を取得し続けることができる。そのため、高精度な高度を取得し続けることができる。 On the other hand, based on the atmospheric pressure sensor 22, the altitude can be continuously acquired regardless of whether or not the GPS signal receiving device 20 is in a state capable of receiving GPS signals. In addition, the altitude can be continuously acquired with a stable resolution of about 30 cm. For this reason, it is possible to continue acquiring high-precision altitude.
　続いて、プロセッサ３６は、携帯端末１０の空間位置（三次元位置）を特定するために機能する、すなわち、携帯端末１０の空間位置特定部として機能する。 Subsequently, the processor 36 functions to specify the spatial position (three-dimensional position) of the mobile terminal 10, that is, functions as a spatial position specifying unit of the mobile terminal 10.
　具体的には、ステップＳ１９０において、プロセッサ３６は、ステップＳ１２０またはステップＳ１６０で特定した携帯端末１０の平面位置と、ステップＳ１８０で算出した携帯端末１０の高度とに基づいて、携帯端末１０の空間位置を特定する。 Specifically, in step S190, the processor 36 determines the spatial position of the mobile terminal 10 based on the planar position of the mobile terminal 10 specified in step S120 or S160 and the altitude of the mobile terminal 10 calculated in step S180. Is identified.
　次に、ステップＳ２００において、プロセッサ３６は、ステップＳ１９０で特定した携帯端末１０の空間位置に基づいて、空間位置に関連するゲームデータを、タッチスクリーン１２やスピーカ１４に供給する。タッチスクリーン１２は、プロセッサ３６からの指示に基づき、空間位置に関連する画像をユーザに対して出力する。スピーカ１４は、プロセッサ３６からの指示に基づき、音声をユーザに対して出力する。なお、音声として、空間位置に関連する音声が出力されてもよい。 Next, in step S200, the processor 36 supplies game data related to the spatial position to the touch screen 12 and the speaker 14 based on the spatial position of the mobile terminal 10 specified in step S190. The touch screen 12 outputs an image related to the spatial position to the user based on an instruction from the processor 36. The speaker 14 outputs sound to the user based on an instruction from the processor 36. Note that a sound related to the spatial position may be output as the sound.
　例えば、図４は、タッチスクリーン１２に表示されるゲーム画面の一例を示している。 For example, FIG. 4 shows an example of a game screen displayed on the touch screen 12.
　図４に示すように、プロセッサ３６は、携帯端末１０の空間位置に関連するゲームデータとして、タッチスクリーン１２にゲーム画面５０を表示させる。ゲーム画面５０には、携帯端末１０の空間位置（緯度、経度、および高度）周辺の現実世界の地理をＣＧ（Ｃｏｎｐｕｔｅｒ　Ｇｒａｐｈｉｃｓ）化したものである俯瞰マップ（３Ｄマップ）が示される。例えば、ゲーム画面５０には、携帯端末１０を携帯するユーザが実際に居る現実世界のビルに対応するゲーム世界のビル５２が示されている。なお、３Ｄマップのデータは、例えば、インターネット接続デバイス３０を介してゲーム会社のサーバーからダウンロードされる。 As shown in FIG. 4, the processor 36 displays a game screen 50 on the touch screen 12 as game data related to the spatial position of the mobile terminal 10. The game screen 50 shows a bird's-eye view map (3D map) obtained by converting the real-world geography around the spatial position (latitude, longitude, and altitude) of the mobile terminal 10 into CG (Computer Graphics). For example, the game screen 50 shows a game world building 52 corresponding to a real world building where the user carrying the mobile terminal 10 is actually present. The 3D map data is downloaded from a game company server via the Internet connection device 30, for example.
　また、携帯端末１０の空間位置に対応する３Ｄマップ上の位置には、携帯端末１０、すなわち携帯端末１０を携帯するユーザの位置を示すユーザアイコン５４が示されている。 In addition, a user icon 54 indicating the position of the mobile terminal 10, that is, the user carrying the mobile terminal 10 is shown at a position on the 3D map corresponding to the spatial position of the mobile terminal 10.
　さらに、現実世界における携帯端末１０の空間位置に対して高度のみが異なる空間位置に対応する３Ｄマップ上の位置に、ゲーム世界において使用されるアイテム５６、５８が示されている。また、携帯端末１０の空間位置に対して、緯度、経度、および高度それぞれが異なる現実世界の空間位置に対応する３Ｄマップ上の位置に、アイテム６０が示されている。なお、アイテムに対応する現実世界の空間位置は、ゲーム会社によって定義されている。 Furthermore, items 56 and 58 used in the game world are shown at positions on the 3D map corresponding to spatial positions that differ only in altitude relative to the spatial position of the mobile terminal 10 in the real world. In addition, the item 60 is shown at a position on the 3D map corresponding to a spatial position in the real world that is different in latitude, longitude, and altitude from the spatial position of the mobile terminal 10. Note that the space position in the real world corresponding to the item is defined by the game company.
　さらにまた、地磁気センサ２８によって検出された方位を示す方位アイコン６２が、ゲーム画面５０に示されている。 Furthermore, an orientation icon 62 indicating the orientation detected by the geomagnetic sensor 28 is shown on the game screen 50.
　このゲーム画面５０を見たユーザは、アイテム５６を取得するために、ゲーム世界のビル５２に対応する現実世界のビルの屋上に移動する。また、アイテム５８を取得するために、現実世界のビルの一階に移動する。さらに、アイテム６０を取得するために、ゲーム世界のビル５２に対応する現実世界のビルから外に出て、ゲーム世界のビル６４に対応する現実世界のビルに向かって北に移動する。 The user who sees the game screen 50 moves to the real-world building roof corresponding to the game-world building 52 in order to acquire the item 56. Further, in order to acquire the item 58, the user moves to the first floor of a real world building. Further, in order to acquire the item 60, the user goes out of the real world building corresponding to the game world building 52 and moves north toward the real world building corresponding to the game world building 64.
　アイテム５６、５８、および６０のゲーム世界上の位置に対応する現実世界の位置と携帯端末１０の位置とが一致すると、すなわちユーザが到達すると、ゲーム画面５０にアイテムの詳細画像が表示される。ユーザのタッチスクリーン１２に対する所定の操作を経て、アイテムがユーザに提供される（例えば、アイテムデータが記憶デバイス３４に記憶される）。 When the position of the real world corresponding to the position on the game world of the items 56, 58, and 60 matches the position of the mobile terminal 10, that is, when the user arrives, a detailed image of the item is displayed on the game screen 50. An item is provided to the user through a predetermined operation on the user's touch screen 12 (for example, item data is stored in the storage device 34).
　このように、ユーザは、ゲームのプレイ中、平面的な移動だけでなく、高さ方向にも移動する。したがって、ユーザの高さ位置が反映されないＧＰＳを利用したゲームに比べて、三次元的に移動するユーザはゲームに没頭することができる。 Thus, during the game play, the user moves not only in a plane but also in the height direction. Therefore, compared to a game using GPS that does not reflect the height position of the user, a user who moves three-dimensionally can be immersed in the game.
　なお、図４のゲーム画面５０では、現実世界をＣＧ化したものであるゲーム世界が示されている。これに代わってまたは加えて、カメラ３２によって撮影された画像が使用されてもよい。例えば、アイテムに対応する現実世界の位置でカメラ３２によって撮影された撮影画像に重なるように、当該アイテムの詳細画像が表示される。この場合、撮影画像上に、ユーザアイコンは表示されない。このようなゲームは、拡張現実（ＡＲ：Ａｕｇｍｅｎｔｅｄ　Ｒｅａｌｉｔｙ）ゲームと呼ばれている。 Note that the game screen 50 of FIG. 4 shows a game world that is a CG of the real world. Alternatively or additionally, an image taken by the camera 32 may be used. For example, the detailed image of the item is displayed so as to overlap the captured image captured by the camera 32 at the position in the real world corresponding to the item. In this case, the user icon is not displayed on the captured image. Such a game is called an augmented reality (AR) game.
　また、図３に示すプロセッサ３６の一連の動作は、ゲームのプレイ中、連続して行われる。そのため、プレイ中にユーザが移動すると（すなわちユーザに携帯されている携帯端末１０が移動すると）、ゲーム画面５０は、携帯端末１０の空間位置に基づいて変化する（更新される）。 Further, a series of operations of the processor 36 shown in FIG. 3 are continuously performed during the game play. Therefore, when the user moves during play (that is, when the portable terminal 10 carried by the user moves), the game screen 50 changes (updates) based on the spatial position of the portable terminal 10.
　以上のような本実施の形態によれば、現実世界におけるユーザの空間位置を、ＧＰＳを利用したゲームに反映させることができる。 According to the present embodiment as described above, the spatial position of the user in the real world can be reflected in a game using GPS.
　以上、上述の実施の形態を挙げて本発明を説明したが、本発明の実施の形態はこれに限らない。 As mentioned above, although the present invention has been described with reference to the above-described embodiment, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this.
　例えば、上述の実施の形態の場合、携帯端末は、携帯電話であったが、これに限らない。例えば、携帯端末は、モバイルＰＣ（Ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌ　Ｃｏｍｐｕｔｅｒ）であってもよい。また、携帯端末は、ゲーム専用機であってもよい。すなわち、携帯端末は、ユーザとともに移動可能な装置であればよい。 For example, in the case of the above-described embodiment, the mobile terminal is a mobile phone, but is not limited thereto. For example, the mobile terminal may be a mobile PC (Personal Computer). The mobile terminal may be a game dedicated machine. That is, the mobile terminal may be any device that can move with the user.
　また、上述の実施の形態の場合、携帯端末１０の平面位置はＧＰＳを利用して得られているが、これに限らない。例えば、ＧＮＳＳの別例であるＧＬＯＮＡＳＳなどの衛星測位システムを利用することにより、携帯端末１０の平面位置を得てもよい。 In the case of the above-described embodiment, the planar position of the mobile terminal 10 is obtained using GPS, but is not limited thereto. For example, the planar position of the mobile terminal 10 may be obtained by using a satellite positioning system such as GLONASS which is another example of GNSS.
　さらに、上述の実施の形態の場合、図２に示すように、ゲームプログラムＧＰは携帯端末１０の記憶デバイスに記憶されているが、これに限らない。ゲームプログラムは、例えば、ゲーム会社のクラウドサーバーに記憶されていてもよい。この場合、クラウドサーバーからゲームのプレイに必要なデータをダウンロードするために、インターネット接続デバイス３０が使用される。 Furthermore, in the case of the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the game program GP is stored in the storage device of the mobile terminal 10, but this is not restrictive. For example, the game program may be stored in a cloud server of a game company. In this case, the Internet connection device 30 is used to download data necessary for playing the game from the cloud server.
　さらにまた、上述の実施の形態の場合、図４に示すように、ゲーム中のアイテムを取得するためにユーザを三次元的に移動させるゲームを例に挙げたが、これに限らない。例えば、モンスターを倒す（または捕獲する）ゲームであってもよい。例えば、ユーザ（携帯端末）の空間位置に対して上方の現実世界の空間位置に対応するゲーム世界（３Ｄマップ上）の位置に飛行する鳥系モンスターを出現させてもよく、また、下方の現実世界の空間位置に対応するゲーム世界の位置に土中や海中を移動するモグラ系や魚系のモンスターを出現させてもよい。それにより、ユーザは、これらのモンスターを倒す（または捕獲する）ためにモンスターのゲーム世界の出現位置に対応する現実世界の位置に移動する。すなわち、ユーザが移動可能な空間位置に対応するゲーム世界上の位置に、ゲーム上においてユーザが欲するターゲットを出現させるゲームであればよい。 Furthermore, in the case of the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a game in which a user is moved three-dimensionally in order to acquire items in the game is given as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be a game in which a monster is killed (or captured). For example, a bird monster flying at the position of the game world (on the 3D map) corresponding to the space position of the real world above the space position of the user (mobile terminal) may appear. Mole-type or fish-type monsters that move in the ground or the sea may appear at game world locations corresponding to the world's spatial locations. Thereby, the user moves to a position in the real world corresponding to the appearance position of the game world of the monster in order to defeat (or capture) these monsters. In other words, any game may be used as long as the target desired by the user appears on the game at a position on the game world corresponding to the spatial position where the user can move.
