The display unit 33 is formed of a member that transmits most of visible light so that the player wearing the goggles 30 can visually recognize the landscape of the real space. The display unit 33 may be, for example, a liquid crystal display using a transparent substrate or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display. The player can confirm the information displayed on the display unit 33 while visually checking the movements of other players via the display unit 33.

The wristband 40 is a device that the player wears on the wrist and uses. The wristband 40 includes a display unit 42 and a band 44. The player fixes the wristband 40 by winding the band 44 around the wrist.

The display unit 42 displays various information. The display unit 42 may be, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. The display mode of the display unit 42 will be described later with reference to FIG. The wristband 40 is connected to the gun toy 10 by a cable 43, and information can be exchanged with the gun toy 10.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the mounting portion 19 of the gun toy 10 shown in FIG. The mounting portion 19 is provided with recesses 19a, b, c having a circular outer periphery. In this embodiment, three depressions are provided, and the medals 20a, 20b, and 20c are detachably attached to each of them.

The medals 20a, 20b, 20c include attribute determination information that determines attributes of the gun toy 10. Here, the attributes of the gun toy 10 will be described. The attribute of the gun toy 10 is the property of the gun toy 10 determined by the determining unit described later. In this embodiment, there are three attributes, "attribute X", "attribute Y", and "attribute Z".

The attribute of the gun toy 10 affects the processing of the player's status when the light receiving unit 31 receives a light beam. Here, the “status” is information about the player in the shooting game, and includes the physical strength, attack power, defense power, etc. of the player. “Physical strength” is a parameter that determines whether the player is alive or dead, and decreases when a light ray is received from the gun toys 10 of the players of different teams. For example, when the physical strength is lost (the value indicating the physical strength becomes 0), the player may be treated as dead in the game. The “attack power” is a parameter that determines the power of the light beam emitted from the gun toy 10, and the higher the attack power of the player who emitted the light beam, the more significantly the physical strength of the player who receives the light beam decreases. The “defense power” is a parameter that determines the amount of decrease in physical strength when a ray of light is received from the gun toys 10 of players of different teams, and the higher the defense power of the player who receives a light ray, the smaller the amount of decrease in physical strength. Become.

The determination unit 17 included in the gun toy 10 determines the attribute of the gun toy 10 based on the attribute determination information included in the medals 20a, 20b, 20c. Specifically, for example, the attributes of the gun toy 10 may be determined by the following method. Each of the medals 20a, 20b, 20c has a built-in IC tag (not shown) including attribute determination information for determining the attribute. On the other hand, the mounting portion 19 of the gun toy 10 is equipped with a tag reader 16 for reading the IC tags of the medals 20a, 20b, 20c. The tag reader 16 is mounted in any one of the three depressions 19a, 19b, and 19c (here, the depression 19a). At this time, the tag reader 16 reads the attribute determination information of the medal 20a located in the depression 19a. The medal 20a includes attribute determination information corresponding to the attribute X. The tag reader 16 sends the attribute determination information corresponding to the attribute X read from the medal 20a to the determination unit 17. After that, the determining unit 17 determines the attribute of the gun toy 10 to be “attribute X” based on the received attribute determination information.

The medal read by the tag reader 16 can be changed by rotating the mounting portion 19. That is, the player can change the attributes of the gun toy 10 by rotating the mounting portion 19. In the present embodiment, the medals 20a, 20b, 20c including the attribute determination information are mounted on the mounting unit 19, but not limited to the medals 20a, 20b, 20c, a medium such as a card may be mounted. You can Further, the number of mountable media is not limited to three, and the mount unit 19 may be configured to mount an arbitrary number of media. The attribute determination information is not limited to the IC tag and may be in a form of being associated with the medium by an arbitrary method such as the shape of the medium or the printing of a two-dimensional code. Among the plurality of medals 20a, 20b, 20c mounted on the mounting unit 19, the medals that are read by the tag reader 16 and provide the attribute specifying information to the determination unit 17 (in the present embodiment, medals 20a). Other medals that cannot be removed from the mounting portion 19 and have not been read by the tag reader 16 (in the present embodiment, medals 20b and 20c) may be designed to be removable.

Further, based on the team to which the player belongs and the attributes of the gun toy 10 determined by the determining unit 17, the projecting unit 12 of the gun toy 10 emits light rays indicating the team and the attribute. For example, when the attribute of the gun toy 10 of the player belonging to the “first team” is “attribute X”, the light emitting unit 12 includes a light ray including information indicating “first team” and “attribute X”. Is emitted. In other words, in this case, the light projecting unit 12 emits an optical signal that can specify that the team is “first team” and the attribute is “attribute X”.

Further, the medals 20a, 20b, 20c may include bullet number information for determining the number of bullets (the bullet number) that can be emitted by the light projecting unit 12. For example, when the bullet number information included in the medal 20a is information that allows the light beam to be emitted 20 times, the light emitting unit 12 can emit the light beam 20 times while the tag reader 16 reads the medal 20a. In addition, when the medals read by the tag reader 16 are switched due to the rotation of the mounting unit 19, the projecting unit 12 can newly emit light rays by the number of bullets of the bullet number information included in the switched medals. Good.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a relationship between attributes. The relationship between the attributes will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, there are three attributes, "attribute X", "attribute Y", and "attribute Z", and as shown in FIG. 3, the relationship between the attributes is predetermined. The number and relationship of attributes are not limited to this. In the present embodiment, the “attribute X” is an attribute that is advantageous to the “attribute Y” and is an attribute that is disadvantageous to the “attribute Z”. “Attribute Y” is an attribute that is advantageous to “attribute Z” and is an attribute that is disadvantageous to “attribute X”. The “attribute Z” is an attribute that is advantageous to the “attribute X” and is an attribute that is disadvantageous to the “attribute Y”.

The processing of the player status when the light receiving unit 31 receives a light beam is performed based on the relationship between the team and the attributes. Specifically, the team and attribute of the light-receiving side gun toy 10 (that is, the team of the player on the light-receiving side and the attribute of the light-receiving side of the gun toy 10) and the attribute of the received light ray (that is, the player who emitted the received light ray). Processing is performed based on the team and the attribute of the emitted gun toy 10. For example, it is assumed that the light beam emitted from the gun toys 10 having the “first team” and “attribute X” is received by the light receiving unit 31 of the player who operates the gun toys 10 having the “second team” and “attribute Y”. The team of the player who receives the light ray and the player who emits the light ray is different, and the "attribute Y" of the gun toy 10 operated by the player who receives the light ray is disadvantageous to the "attribute X" of the gun toy 10 on the emission side. It is an attribute. Therefore, the physical strength of the player who receives the light may be significantly reduced as compared with the case where the light having the “attribute Y” or the light having the “attribute Z” is received. As described above, the processing content when the light beam is received may be different depending on the relationship between the team and the attributes.

FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the gun toy 10 according to the present embodiment. The gun toy 10 includes a light emitting unit 12, a first communication unit 13, an identifying unit 14, a storage unit 15, a tag reader 16, a determining unit 17, and a processing unit 18.

The light emitting unit 12 emits a light beam when the first trigger 11b or the second trigger 11c is pulled as described above. The light emitting unit 12 emits a normal light beam when the first trigger 11b is pulled. The normal light ray may be a light ray that reduces the physical strength of the player who received the light ray when the light ray is received by a player of a team different from the player who emitted the light ray. The amount of physical strength to be reduced may be determined based on the offensive power of the player who has emitted the light beam and the defense power of the player who has received the light beam.

Further, the light emitting section 12 emits a predetermined light beam when the second trigger 11c is pulled. The predetermined light beam is a light beam that can be emitted while the light receiving unit 31 receives the light beam emitted from the gun toy 10 operated by the third player of the team different from the first player, a predetermined number of times or more, It is a light ray that includes predetermined information in addition to team information and attribute specifying information. The predetermined information may be, for example, instruction information that causes another game device 1 to execute a predetermined process. The predetermined process may be, for example, a process of changing the player status stored in the storage unit 15.

Specifically, when a predetermined light beam is emitted from the gun toy 10 of the first player and is received by the light receiving unit 31 of the second player in the same team as the first player, the process provided in the gun toy 10 of the second player. The unit 18 may execute processing for increasing the physical strength, attack power, and defense power of the second player. At this time, the processing unit 18 may not perform the increasing process that exceeds the upper limit values set for the physical strength, the attack power, and the defense power. For example, when the upper limit value of the set physical strength is 200, the processing unit 18 may not perform the increasing process in which the physical strength of the player exceeds 200. Further, the processing unit 18 may not perform the increasing process a predetermined number of times or more, or may execute the increasing process only when a predetermined time has elapsed from the previously performed increasing process.

On the other hand, when the light receiving unit 31 of the third player who is a team different from the first player receives a predetermined light beam, the processing unit 18 included in the gun toy 10 of the third player causes the physical strength, attack power, and defense power of the third player. You may perform the process which reduces.

Further, the light emitting unit 12 may be capable of adjusting the intensity of the emitted light beam. At this time, the light emitting unit 12 may emit the predetermined light beam with higher intensity than the normal light beam. By doing so, a predetermined light beam becomes easier to be received by the light receiving unit 31 of another player than a normal light beam.

The first communication unit 13 performs wireless communication with the second communication unit 32 mounted on the goggles 30 and the first communication unit 13 mounted on another gun toy 10. For example, the first communication unit 13 receives information (color, frequency, waveform, intensity, etc.) of the light beam received by the light receiving unit 31 from the second communication unit 32 mounted on the goggles 30.

Further, the first communication unit 13 receives the light beam emitted from the gun toy 10 operated by the second player of the same team as the first player when the predetermined light beam is emitted from the light emitting unit 12. In this case, the instruction information may be transmitted to another game device 1. The instruction information may be information that causes the game device 1 that has received the instruction information to execute a predetermined process, similar to the instruction information included in the predetermined light beam described above.

Specifically, when the instruction information is transmitted from the gun toy 10 of the first player and is received by the gun toy 10 of the second player who is in the same team as the first player, the process provided in the gun toy 10 of the second player. The unit 18 may execute processing for increasing the physical strength, attack power, and defense power of the second player.

On the other hand, when received by the gun toy 10 of the third player who is a team different from the first player, the processing unit 18 included in the gun toy 10 of the third player reduces the physical strength, attack power, and defense power of the third player. You may perform a process.

When the player switches the attribute of the gun toy 10 by rotating the mounting unit 19 or the like, the first communication unit 13 notifies the other game device 1 of the attribute that has been switched and the attribute after switching. You may send it.

The first communication unit 13 performs wired communication with the third communication unit 41 mounted on the wristband 40 via the cable 43. For example, the first communication unit 13 transmits information such as the attributes of the gun toy 10 and the player status to the third communication unit 41.

The identifying unit 14 identifies the team to which the player who uses the gun toy 10 that has emitted the light beam belongs, based on the team information included in the light beam received by the light receiving unit 31. The identifying unit 14 obtains team information from the information on the light beam received by the first communication unit 13 from the second communication unit 32 of the goggles 30 (information on the color, frequency, waveform, intensity, etc. of the light beam received by the light receiving unit 31). However, the team of the player who has emitted the light beam may be specified based on the team information. The identifying unit 14 may send the identification result to the storage unit 15 or the processing unit 18.

Further, the specifying unit 14 specifies the attribute of the light beam based on the attribute specifying information included in the light beam received by the light receiving unit 31. Specifically, the identifying unit 14 acquires the attribute identifying information from the information regarding the light beam received by the first communicating unit 13 from the second communicating unit 32 of the goggles 30, and based on the attribute identifying information, receives the received light beam. The attribute may be specified. The identifying unit 14 may send the identification result to the storage unit 15 or the processing unit 18.

The storage unit 15 stores the status of the first player. In addition, the storage unit 15 may store the received information when the first communication unit 13 receives the status information of the other player.

The storage unit 15 also stores the number of times the light receiving unit 31 receives a light beam. The storage unit 15 may store the number of times of light reception by distinguishing the number of times of light reception for each team of the player who emitted the received light ray or the attribute of the received light ray based on the specific result by the specifying unit 14. For example, the number of times the light beam emitted from the gun toy of the player belonging to the first team (second player in the present embodiment) is received and the gun toy of the player belonging to the second team (third player in the present embodiment). You may distinguish and memorize with the frequency|count of receiving the light beam radiate|emitted from. In addition, the number of times that the light beam of “attribute X” is received, the number of times that the light beam of “attribute Y” is received, and the number of times that the light beam of “attribute Z” is received may be stored separately.

The tag reader 16 reads the attribute determination information contained in the IC tags built in the medals 20a, 20b, 20c mounted on the mounting unit 19. The tag reader 16 sends the read attribute determination information to the determination unit 17.

The determination unit 17 determines the attribute of the gun toy 10 based on the attribute determination information read by the tag reader 16. The determination unit 17 may send the determined attribute to the storage unit 15 or the processing unit 18.

The processing unit 18 executes a process of changing the status of the first player. For example, the processing unit 18 performs a process of reducing the physical strength of the first player when the light receiving unit 31 receives the light beam emitted from the gun toy 10 of the third player belonging to the team different from the first player.

Further, the processing unit 18 may execute a predetermined process when a predetermined light beam is emitted from the light emitting unit 12. For example, the predetermined process may be a process of changing the status of the first player in an advantageous manner for the first player. Specifically, it may be a process of increasing the physical strength, attack power, defense power, and the like of the first player stored in the storage unit 15.

Further, the processing unit 18 may perform a predetermined process when the light receiving unit 31 receives a light beam emitted from a gun toy of a player belonging to the same team as the first player. For example, the predetermined process may be a process of changing the status of the first player in an advantageous manner for the first player. Specifically, it may be a process of increasing the physical strength, attack power, defense power, and the like of the first player stored in the storage unit 15.

Furthermore, when the light receiving unit 31 receives a light ray, the processing unit 18 is stored in the storage unit 15 based on the relationship between the attribute of the gun toy 10 that emitted the light ray and the attribute of the light ray received by the light receiving unit 31. The status of the first player may be changed.

For example, the processing unit 18 receives the light beam emitted from the gun toy 10 of the third player belonging to the team different from the first player, and the processing unit 18 determines the gun toy of the first player determined by the determining unit 17. The process of reducing the physical strength of the first player may be executed based on the relationship between the attribute of No. 10 and the attribute of the ray identified by the identifying unit 14.

Specifically, when the attribute of the gun toy 10 of the first player is the same as the attribute of the received light ray (for example, the attribute of the gun toy 10 is “attribute X”, and the light receiving unit 31 receives the light). If the attribute of the ray is also “attribute X”), the processing unit 18 may reduce the physical strength of the first player by a predetermined value (here, “100”).

Further, when the attribute of the gun toy 10 of the first player is an advantageous attribute with respect to the attribute of the light ray (for example, the attribute of the gun toy 10 is “attribute X”, and the attribute of the light ray received by the light receiving unit 31). Is “attribute Y”), the processing unit 18 may decrease the physical strength of the first player by a value smaller than a predetermined value (here, “50”).

On the other hand, when the attribute of the gun toy 10 of the first player is a disadvantageous attribute to the attribute of the light ray (for example, the attribute of the gun toy 10 is “attribute X”, and the attribute of the light ray received by the light receiving unit 31). Is "attribute Z"), the processing unit 18 may decrease the physical strength of the first player by a value larger than a predetermined value (here, "200"). The processing unit 18 may determine the predetermined value or the amount of variation from the predetermined value based on the offensive power of the player who emitted the light beam, the defense power of the player who received the light beam, and the like.

Note that the storage unit 15 is not limited to the above-described information, and history information such as the number of times the light beam is emitted and the playing time of the shooting game may be stored. At this time, when the history information satisfies a predetermined condition, the processing unit 18 transmits a predetermined process (for example, a process that enables a predetermined light beam to be emitted or instruction information to another game device 1). Processing, etc.) may be performed. Further, the specifying unit 14, the determining unit 17, and the processing unit 18 described above may be integrated into the control unit A. The control unit A may be included in the gun toy 10 or may be included in an external server or the like that communicates with the gun toy 10.

In the present embodiment, the players with player names “player 1”, “player 2”, and “player 3” correspond to the first player, the second player, and the third player, respectively. The information displayed on the display unit 42 is not limited to this, and the player's offensive power, defense power, etc. may be displayed.

FIG. 9 is a process for allowing the processing unit 18 to emit a predetermined light beam when the light receiving unit 31 receives the light beam from the gun toy 10 operated by the third player of the team different from the first player a predetermined number of times or more. It is a flow chart which shows (1st processing). The first process will be described with reference to FIG. 9.

First, the light receiving unit 31 receives a light beam emitted from another gun toy 10 (step S100). After that, the specifying unit 14 specifies the team to which the player using the gun toy 10 that has emitted the light beam belongs, based on the team information included in the light beam received by the light receiving unit 31 (step S101). In the present embodiment, the light beam received by the light receiving unit 31 of the first player is assumed to be a light beam emitted from the gun toy 10 of the third player belonging to a team different from the first player.

After that, the processing unit 18 determines whether or not the light beam emitted from the gun toy 10 of the player belonging to the team different from the first player is received a predetermined number of times or more (step S102). In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the light beam emitted from the gun toy 10 of the third player has been received a predetermined number of times (here, 5 times) or more. At this time, the processing unit 18 may make the determination by referring to the number of times of light reception stored in the storage unit 15.

When the number of times of light reception is the predetermined number of times or more (for example, when the number of times is 5) (step S102: Yes), the processing unit 18 performs a process of enabling a predetermined light beam to be emitted (step S103). After that, when the first player pulls the second trigger 11c of the gun toy 10 (step S104), the light emitting unit 12 emits a predetermined light beam (step S105). The processing unit 18 may perform a process of changing the status stored in the storage unit 15 in an advantageous manner for the first player when a predetermined light beam is emitted. Further, the processing unit 18 may perform a process of transmitting a wireless signal including instruction information from the first communication unit 13 to another game device 1 when a predetermined light beam is emitted.

On the other hand, when the number of light receptions is not equal to or more than the predetermined number (for example, four times) (step S102: No), the processing unit 18 performs a process of reducing the physical strength of the first player stored in the storage unit 15 ( Step S106). The value of the physical strength to be reduced may be determined based on, for example, the attacking power of the third player who has emitted the light ray or the defense power of the first player who has received the light ray.

After that, the processing unit 18 updates the number of times of light reception stored in the storage unit 15 (step S107). At this time, when a predetermined light beam is emitted from the light emitting unit 12, the processing unit 18 executes an update for resetting the number of times the light beam emitted from the gun toy 10 of a player belonging to a team different from the first player is received. May be. Thus, the first process ends.

The game device 1 according to the present embodiment is different from the conventional shooting in which a predetermined light beam can be emitted when the light beam emitted from the gun toys 10 of players of different teams is received a predetermined number of times or more. Unexpected processing is executed. Therefore, the fun of the shooting game is improved.

FIG. 10 is a process in which the processing unit 18 executes a predetermined process when the light receiving unit 31 receives a light beam emitted from the gun toy 10 operated by the second player of the same team as the first player (second process). ) Is a flowchart showing The second process will be described with reference to FIG. 10.

First, the light receiving unit 31 receives a light beam emitted from another gun toy 10 (step S110). After that, the specifying unit 14 specifies the team to which the player who uses the gun toy 10 that has emitted the light beam belongs, based on the team information included in the light beam received by the light receiving unit 31 (step S111).

Then, the processing unit 18 determines whether the received light ray is a light ray emitted from a gun toy of a player of the same team as the first player, based on the identification result of the identifying unit 14 (step S112). In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the light ray is emitted from the gun toy 10 of the second player.

When it is the light beam emitted from the gun toy 10 of the player of the same team as the first player (step S112: Yes), the processing unit 18 executes a predetermined process (step S113). For example, the processing unit 18 may perform a process of changing the status stored in the storage unit 15 in favor of the first player. The processing unit 18 may also perform a process of transmitting a wireless signal including instruction information from the first communication unit 13 to another game device 1.

On the other hand, when it is not the light beam emitted from the gun toy 10 of the player of the same team as the first player (step S112: No), the processing unit 18 reduces the physical strength of the first player stored in the storage unit 15. Processing is performed (step S114).

After that, the processing unit 18 updates the number of times of light reception stored in the storage unit 15 (step S115). With this, the second process ends.

According to the game device 1 according to the present embodiment, the predetermined process is executed when the light receiving unit 31 receives the light beam emitted from the gun toy 10 of the player belonging to the same team as the first player. Therefore, unlike the conventional shooting game, the player performs an operation of emitting a light beam to the players of the same team, which improves the fun of the shooting game.

In FIG. 11, when the light receiving unit 31 receives a light beam, the processing unit 18 changes the status of the first player based on the relationship between the attribute of the gun toy 10 on the side receiving the light beam and the attribute of the received light beam. It is a flowchart which shows a process (3rd process). The third process will be described with reference to FIG. 11.

First, the light receiving unit 31 receives a light beam emitted from another gun toy 10 (step S120). In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the light beam emitted from the gun toy 10 of the third player belonging to a team different from the first player is received. After that, the specifying unit 14 specifies the attribute of the light beam based on the attribute specifying information included in the light beam received by the light receiving unit 31 (step S121).

After that, the processing unit 18 determines whether the attribute of the gun toy 10 of the first player who receives the light ray is an advantageous attribute with respect to the attribute of the light ray specified by the specifying unit 14 (step S122). The attribute of the gun toy 10 may be predetermined by the determination unit 17.

When the attribute of the gun toy 10 is an attribute advantageous to the attribute of the light ray (for example, the attribute of the gun toy 10 is “attribute X” and the attribute of the light ray is “attribute Y”) (step S122: Yes), the processing unit 18 reduces the physical strength of the first player by a value smaller than a predetermined value (step S123). For example, when the predetermined value is “100”, the processing unit 18 may reduce the physical strength of the first player by “50” which is smaller than the predetermined value.

On the other hand, when the attribute of the gun toy 10 is not an advantageous attribute with respect to the ray attribute (step S122: No), the processing unit 18 determines whether the attribute of the gun toy 10 is an adverse attribute with respect to the ray attribute. It is determined (step S124).

When the attribute of the gun toy 10 is a disadvantageous attribute to the attribute of the light ray (for example, when the attribute of the gun toy 10 is "attribute X" and the attribute of the light ray is "attribute Z") (step S124: Yes), the processing unit 18 reduces the physical strength of the first player by a value larger than a predetermined value (step S125). For example, the processing unit 18 may decrease the physical strength of the first player by “200”, which is larger than the predetermined value.

When the attribute of the gun toy 10 is not a disadvantageous attribute to the attribute of the light ray (for example, when the attribute of the gun toy 10 is “attribute X” and the attribute of the light ray is “attribute X”) (step S124: No). ), the processing unit 18 reduces the physical strength of the first player by a predetermined value (step S126). For example, the processing unit 18 may reduce the physical strength of the first player by a predetermined value “100”. The predetermined value and the amount of change from the predetermined value may be determined based on the attacking power of the third player who emitted the light beam, the defense power of the first player who received the light beam, and the like.

The processing unit 18 updates the status and the number of received light of the first player stored in the storage unit 15 (step S127). Thus, the third process ends.

According to the game device 1 according to the present embodiment, the status variation process performed when the light receiving unit 31 receives a light ray is related to the attribute of the gun toy 10 on the side receiving the light ray and the attribute of the received light ray. Based on.
