For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a game system that can switch between a weapon selection mode, a movement control mode, and a screen control mode by pressing a button corresponding to each mode of a game.

On the other hand, there are games in which a plurality of controllers are connected to one game device, and one or more controllers can be played simultaneously.

JP2002-018128 A

However, depending on the type of game, the scene of the game, or the like, the player may wish to enter a mode in which the game is progressed while using a plurality of controllers together, or the game is performed using a specific controller but not using another controller. There are times when you may want to switch to the mode that you want to use. However, it was very cumbersome for the player to be forced to stop the game and press a button at that time in order to switch the game mode.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves this problem, and aims to provide a suitable game apparatus, game processing method and information recording medium, and moreover the program, in order for the player to simply switch the game mode.

In order to achieve the above object, the following invention is disclosed in accordance with the principles of the present invention.

The game apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a first input accepting unit, a second input accepting unit, an acquiring unit, a setting unit, and a progressing unit.

The first input accepting unit accepts a first type of instruction input provided by the player via the first input device.

The second input accepting unit accepts a second type of instruction input provided by the player via the second input device.

The acquisition unit acquires the amount of change in a predetermined time in the position or direction of the second input device.

The setting unit sets the mode of the game to the double judgment mode when the acquired change amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, and otherwise sets the game mode to the single judgment mode.

The advancing unit advances the game by the first type of instruction input and the second type of instruction input when the mode of the game is the double determination mode, and when the single judgment mode is the first type of instruction. The game is advanced by the instruction input.

It is possible to connect at least two input devices to the game device of the present invention. The input device corresponds to what is called a controller, which is used by the player to give an instruction input to the game device. For example, a general touch pad type, a grip type, and a mat type that can be used for various games can be used. Controller, keyboard, mouse, trackball, touch panel, and the like. In addition, the input device may be used for a specific game such as a gun controller of a shooting game, a steering wheel type controller of a flight simulation game, or the like.

For example, one player can play one game while the first input device and the second input device are connected to the game device. Also, multiple players can play the same game together.

At least a second input device of the first input device and the second input device is an input device in which the player can change the position and / or the direction. Typically, the second input device is an input device that the player can pick up or attach to any part of the body. When the player moves his hand or moves his body, the position and / or direction of the second input device changes.

The instruction input provided to the game device via the first input device is referred to as the first type of instruction input, and the instruction input given to the game device via the second input device is referred to as the second input instruction input. do. For example, if the first input device has buttons B1 and B2, and the second input device has buttons B3 and B4, the first type of instruction input is entered by the player. It is an instruction | indication input by pressing (B2), and an instruction | indication input of a 2nd type is an instruction | input input by which a player presses button B3 or (B4).

The game device of the present invention acquires the amount of change in position and / or the amount of change in direction and / or the change in attitude of at least the second input device of the first input device and the second input device. The game device may acquire a change amount of all of these, or may acquire one or more change amounts. Then, the game device sets the game mode based on all the changes or some changes in the acquired amounts.

In the game mode to be executed in the game apparatus of the present invention, the game is performed based on the double judgment mode in which the game is progressed based on both the first type of instruction input and the second type of instruction input and the first type of instruction input. There is a single decision mode to proceed.

For example, in a dance game where you step on the mat controller and hold the gripped controller in your hand, and shake your limbs, the double judgment mode uses both the matte controller and the gripped controller (ie, feet and hands). The game is played using), and the single judgment mode is a game using only a matte controller (i.e. feet only).

For example, in a personal computer game using a keyboard and a mouse, the double judgment mode is a mode in which a game is played using both the keyboard and a mouse, and the single judgment mode uses a keyboard only (or a mouse only). This mode is for playing games.

The game device determines that the input device corresponding to the acquired change amount is not used by the player when the acquired change amount is less than the predetermined threshold when the game is in the double determination mode, and determines that the game device is not used. The instruction input changes to a single judgment mode that does not affect the progress of the game.

Taking the above-described dance game as an example, the game apparatus when the amount of change in the position (or direction or posture) of the gripped controller among the mat type controller and the gripped controller is less than a predetermined threshold value when the game is in the double judgment mode. Determines that the player is not using the gripped controller, and switches from the double judgment mode to the single judgment mode. At this time, the player does not need to use cumbersome operation to press the mode switching button. Thus, the player can simply switch the game mode. The game device can switch to a game mode which is assumed to be appropriate according to the use situation of the controller.

In addition, when the game is in the single judgment mode, if the amount of change in the position (or direction or posture) of the gripped controller is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold, the game apparatus determines that the player is using the gripped controller and makes a single judgment. It is also possible to switch from the mode to the double decision mode.

In the game, either the first type or the second type of instruction input may correspond to each of a plurality of predetermined task times.

And the progression part may judge the grade of the said player based on whether the instruction | indication input of the kind corresponding to the said task time was received in each of the predetermined said some task time.

One or more subjects are set in the game played by the game apparatus of this invention. The problem is a combination of time (hereinafter referred to as "task time") and instruction input content (hereinafter referred to as "task content") to be given to the player at that time. Taking the dance game described above as an example, one task is a combination of information specifying what time signature (ie time) from the beginning of music and the type of button to be pressed at the time, or It is expressed as a combination of information specifying what beat the beat is from the beginning of the music, and the distinction of the gripped controller to move at that time. In a dance game, a task is also called "family tree" or "servo" (手 譜).

Then, the game apparatus determines the player's performance based on the set problem and the first type of instruction input and / or the second instruction input. For example, when the player inputs instructions according to the task content at the time of the task, the player can obtain a score or a direction in which the atmosphere in the game is heightened. However, when the player does not input the instruction according to the task content at the task time, the player cannot obtain a score or the atmosphere in the game subsides. According to the present invention, when the game mode is the dual determination mode, the game device advances the game while determining the player's performance by the first type of instruction input and the second type of instruction input, and in the single judgment mode. The game is advanced while determining the player's performance by the first type of instruction input. Therefore, the game device can switch to the game mode which is assumed to be appropriate in accordance with the use situation of the controller, and can also perform the grade determination suitable for the game mode.

When the game mode is the single determination mode, the progress unit associates the instruction input of the first type with the task time when the type of instruction input corresponding to the task time is the second kind, and the score of the player is achieved. May be determined.

In other words, the game apparatus of the present invention can change the subject so that the subject matter is suitable for the game mode depending on whether it is the double judgment mode or the single judgment mode.

Specifically, in the double determination mode, for the task to which the task content indicating the first type of instruction input corresponds to the task time, whether the task content indicating the first type of instruction input to the task time has been achieved by the player. Grades are given depending on whether or not or how much is achieved, and about a task whose task content indicating the second type of instruction input corresponds to the task time corresponds to a task indicating the second type of instruction input at the task time. The grade is awarded by whether or not the content has been achieved by the player.

On the other hand, in the single determination mode, the problem in which the task content indicating the first type of instruction input corresponds to the task time is the same as in the double determination mode, but the task content indicating the second type of instruction input corresponds to the task time. Regarding a task that is present, grades are given at the task time depending on whether or not the task content indicating the instruction input of the first kind is achieved by the player, or to what extent, instead of the instruction input of the second kind. .

For example, in the dance game described above, in the double determination mode, both the genealogy and the lineage are subject to sexual determination. On the other hand, in the single judgment mode, the problem which corresponds to the genealogy in the double judgment mode, and the subject which replaced the report in the double judgment mode with the genealogy are object of grade determination. When the player changes from the double judgment mode to the single judgment mode, the player may clear the problem in which the score is replaced with the genealogy. According to the present invention, the game device can smoothly change the game mode while suppressing the discomfort that is given to the player when the game mode is changed.

The game apparatus, for each of the plurality of task time,

(a) when the type of instruction input currently corresponding to the task time is the first kind, a cover of the first kind is displayed in correspondence with the task time;

(b) When the type of instruction input currently corresponding to the task time is the second kind, the second kind of mark is displayed in correspondence with the task time.

Thereby, the presentation part which presents the said task time to the said player may further be included.

The game device of the present invention displays a task in which the task content relates to the first type of instruction input using the cover of the first kind, and a task in which the task content relates to the second type of instruction input. Mark using the label of the species. Taking the above-described dance game as an example, the first kind of mark is an image showing a genealogy for distinguishing various buttons (typically buttons indicating up, down, left, and right directions) of the mat type controller, and the second kind of mark is a wave. It is an image representing a step for distinguishing a terrain controller (typically a module with a right hand (or a grip) and a module with a left hand (or a grip)). According to the present invention, even if the task content is changed in accordance with the change of the game mode, the game apparatus can present the task easily to the player.

In addition, various methods can be adopted about how each subject will be presented to the player, and are not limited by the present invention. For example, by displaying a cover indicating each task on the screen, the task can be presented to the player. For example, before and after the task time, the character of the game may pose a predetermined pose and notify the task, or the task may be informed by performing a predetermined direction by an image or sound.

Alternatively, the task time may be set but not presented to the player. For example, a game has a practice mode in which a game device first shows an example by a guidance screen or the like, and then repeats to a player. First, the game device urges the player to represent the exemplary play for the task and repeat as it is. Next, the game device repeats to the player without giving any hint (or simply presenting a minimum hint) at the task time. If you follow the example, you have completed the task. In addition, not only the practice mode, but in any game, for example, for a game mode of all-no-hints for advanced players, a method of not presenting a problem may be adopted.

When the mode of the game is the single determination mode, the progress unit may delete the task time whose type of instruction input corresponding to the task time is the second kind, and determine the score of the player.

For example, when the game mode is switched from the double judgment mode to the single judgment mode, the task whose type of instruction input is the second kind is deleted. Deleted assignments are not eligible for grading. Taking the above-described dance game as an example, in the double judgment mode, both the genealogy and the score are subject to sexual determination. On the other hand, in the single judgment mode, only the genealogy in the double judgment mode is the object of the sexual judgment, and the report in the double judgment mode is lost. When the player changes from the double judgment mode to the single judgment mode, the player only needs to clear the genealogy problem. According to the present invention, the game device can be changed to a problem suitable for the game mode.

The game device may further include a presentation unit for presenting the task time to the player.

If the mode of the game is the single determination mode, the progress unit deletes the task time that is the task time of which the type of the instruction input corresponding to the task time is the second kind and is not presented by the presentation unit, You may judge the grade of the said player.

For example, when the game mode is switched from the double judgment mode to the single judgment mode, a task that has not yet been presented to the player in the task of the second kind of instruction input is deleted. Deleted assignments are not eligible for grading. On the other hand, the task whose type of instruction input is the second kind, and the task already presented to the player is not deleted. Taking the above-described dance game as an example, in the double judgment mode, both the genealogy and the score are subject to sexual determination. On the other hand, in the single judgment mode, the report previously presented in the double judgment mode remains the same, but is the target of sexual determination, but after the switch to the single judgment mode, the report which was to be presented in the future disappears and is excluded from the sexual judgment target. In other words, the sudden report does not disappear immediately before the task time. According to the present invention, the game device can be changed to a problem suitable for the game mode while suppressing a sense of discomfort given to the player when the game mode is changed.

The presentation unit, for each of the plurality of task time,

(x) when the type of the instruction input currently corresponding to the task time is the first kind, a cover of the first kind is displayed in correspondence with the task time,

(y) a mark of the second kind is displayed in correspondence with the task time of which the type of the instruction input initially corresponding to the task time is the second kind and is not deleted by the advancing section;

(z) The type of instruction input initially corresponding to the task time is the second kind, and the third kind of cover may be displayed in correspondence with the same time as the task time deleted by the advancing section.

The game device of the present invention displays a task in which the task content relates to the first type of instruction input using the cover of the first kind, and the task in which the task content relates to the second type of instruction input. Mark using the label of the species. In addition, the problem deleted when changing from the double judgment mode to the single judgment mode is displayed using a third cover page. Taking the above-described dance game as an example, the cover of the first kind is an image for distinguishing various buttons (typically buttons indicating up, down, left and right directions) of the mat type controller, and the cover of the second kind is a grip type controller ( Typically, it is an image for distinguishing a module with a right hand and a module with a left hand, and a 3rd mark is an image which shows the report removed when it changed from the double judgment mode to the single judgment mode. The third mark is a mark indicating the task time when the game mode is the single judgment mode, for example, when the game mode is the double judgment mode. According to the present invention, even if the task content is changed in accordance with the change of the game mode, the game apparatus can present the task easily to the player. In addition, it is possible to know at a glance which task is out of the grade determination object by changing the game mode.

A game processing method according to another aspect of the present invention includes a first input reception step, a second input reception step, an acquisition step, a setting step, and a progress step.

In the first input reception step, the player receives a first type of instruction input provided through the first input device.

In the second input reception step, the player receives a second type of instruction input provided through the second input device.

In the acquisition step, the amount of change in a predetermined time in the position or direction of the second input device is acquired.

In the setting step, if the acquired change amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, the game mode is set to the double judgment mode, otherwise the game mode is set to the single judgment mode.

In the advancing step, when the game mode is the double determination mode, the game is advanced by the instruction input of the first type and the instruction input of the second type, and when the game is the single judgment mode, the first type. Advance the game by inputting instructions.

The CPU 101 of the information processing apparatus 100 is located in the real space of the first holding module 201 with respect to the light emitting module 251 based on the position where the light emitting diode 252 is photographed in the captured image. Get the position.

In addition, an acceleration sensor (typically a three-axis gravity sensor), an angular acceleration sensor, an inclination sensor, or the like is built in the first holding module 201, and the first holding module 201 measures the posture of itself. It is possible. This measurement result is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 100.

A cross key 203 is arranged on the upper surface of the first gripping module 201, and the player can apply various direction indication inputs by press-fitting the cross key 203. In addition to the A-button 204, various buttons 206 are also arranged on the upper surface, so that an instruction input corresponding to the button can be given.

The B-button 205 is disposed on the lower surface of the first gripping module 201, and a depression is formed on the lower surface of the first gripping module 201. It is supposed to imitate the trigger. Typically, the instruction input of firing by a pistol or holding by a magic hand in the virtual space is performed using the B-button 205.

In addition, the indicator 207 on the upper surface of the first holding module 201 presents the player with the operation status of the first holding module 201, the wireless communication with the information processing apparatus 100, and the like.

The power button 208 prepared on the upper surface of the first holding module 201 performs on / off operation of the first holding module 201 itself, and the first holding module 201 is a built-in battery ( (Not shown).

In addition, a speaker 209 is arranged on the upper surface of the first gripping module 201 to output voice by the voice signal input from the voice processor 109. Inside the first gripping module 201, a vibrator (not shown) is prepared, and it is possible to control the presence or absence of vibration and the strength and weakness based on an instruction from the information processing apparatus 100.

Next, although the function of the 1st holding module 201 is somewhat simplified, the 2nd holding module 211 is an expansion controller provided with the equivalent function basically.

An acceleration sensor (typically a three-axis gravity sensor) is built in the second gripping module 211, and the attitude of the second gripping module 211 itself can be measured. This measurement result is also sent to the information processing apparatus 100. In addition, the second holding module 211 may be provided with a CCD camera or the like similarly to the first holding module 201 to measure the position of the second holding module 211.

The control stick 212 is an input unit such as a miniaturized so-called joy stick that enables the player to smoothly give an instruction input indicating up, down, left, and right.

The C-button 213 and the Z-button 214 are arranged near the tip of the second gripping module 211. The player can give the information processing apparatus 100 an instruction input corresponding to each button by pressing each button with a fingertip or the like.

Hereinafter, the first holding module 201 and the second holding module by using the second controller 105 formed of a combination of the first holding module 201, the second holding module 211, and the light emitting module 251. It is assumed that the position and attitude in the real world of 211 are measured. However, if the position and attitude of the second controller 105 in the real world are measured using, for example, ultrasonic waves, infrared communication, global positioning system (GPS), or the like without using the above-described form. Even if it falls within the scope of the present invention. In addition, the embodiment in which the second controller 105 includes only one side (for example, only the first holding module 201) rather than both of the first holding module 201 and the second holding module 211 is provided. It is also possible to adopt.

Next, the outline of the game played by the information processing apparatus 100 of this embodiment is demonstrated.

4 shows an example of the configuration of a screen 400 displayed on a monitor. On the screen 400, the stop marks 401 to 404 which are fixed and drawn at a predetermined position in the screen 400, and the tread position indicating mark 410 in which the drawing position moves with the passage of time (in FIG. 410A, 410B, 410C, and 410D, and the movement position indication mark 420 (420A and 420B in FIG. 4) in which the drawing position moves with the passage of time. ), A gauge 430 indicating the player's performance, and other background images are displayed.

The tread position indication mark 410 and the movement position indication mark 420 are scrolled and displayed in accordance with the music to be reproduced. On the stepping position indicating mark 410, one of the up, down, left, and right arrows is drawn. On the movement position indication mark 420, an image representing either one of the first holding module 201 and the second holding module 211 is drawn.

The stop marks 401 to 404 are marks indicating the timing (hereinafter, also referred to as "task time") at which the player should press the buttons 121 to 124, respectively. In the still marks 401 to 404, an image of one of the up, down, left, and right arrows is drawn.

The stop mark 404 also serves as a mark indicating the timing (task time) at which the player should move the first gripping module 201. The stop mark 401 also serves as a mark indicating a timing (task time) at which the player should move the second gripping module 211. In the present embodiment, the description is based on the assumption that the player plays the game with the first holding module 201 in his right hand and the second holding module 211 in his left hand.

The tread position indicating mark 410 and the movement position indicating mark 420 move in accordance with the reproduction speed of music toward the position where the stop marks 401 to 404 are drawn.

When the tread position indication mark 410 has moved to the same position as the stop marks 401 to 404, the buttons 121 to 124 corresponding to the directions of the arrows drawn on the stop marks 401 to 404 have moved. When the player presses), the player's score is added or the value (dance meter) indicated by the gauge 430 is increased.

Moreover, when the movement position indication mark 420 has moved to the same position as the stop mark 404 or 401, it respond | corresponds to the 1st holding module 201 or the stop mark 401 corresponding to the stop mark 404. FIG. When the player moves the second gripping module 211, the score of the player is added, or the value indicated by the gauge 430 increases.

The tread position indicating mark 410 is also referred to as "family tree", and the movement position indicating mark 420 is also referred to as "mantra". Details of the player's score determination will be described later.

For example, when the tread position indication mark 410 has moved to a position overlapping with any one of the stop marks 401 to 404, the button corresponding to the arrow displayed on the tread position indication mark 410 that has moved ( When the player presses any one of the buttons 121 to 124 with one foot, it is possible to step an exemplary dance in accordance with the music being played.

For example, when the movement position indication mark 420 has moved to a position overlapping with the stop mark 401 or 404, the holding module corresponding to the movement position indication mark 420 which has moved (first holding module) When the player moves the 201 and the second gripping module 211 with one hand, it is possible to pose an exemplary dance matched with the music being played.

In the following description, the instruction input from the player using the first controller 111 is referred to as "first kind instruction input". A typical example of the first type of instruction input is an instruction input based on the pressing of the buttons 121 to 124 by the player.

In addition, the instruction | indication input from the player using the 2nd controller 105 is called "the instruction | indication input of a 2nd type". Typical examples of the second type of instruction input include an instruction input based on a movement operation by a player of the first gripping module 201 included in the second controller 105 and a second controller 105 provided. It is an instruction input based on the movement operation by the player of the two gripping modules 211.

In addition, of the image displayed on the screen 400, the image corresponding to the 1st controller 111 is called "the cover of a 1st type." Typical examples of the first kind of marks are tread position indicating marks 410A to 410D. In addition, the image corresponding to the 2nd controller 105 among the images displayed on the screen 400 is called "the 2nd kind of cover." Typical examples of the second kind of markers are movement position indicator marks 420A and 420B.

The combination of the task time and the information specifying the button to be pressed at the task time or the combination of the task time and the information specifying the distinction between the holding module to be moved at the task time is referred to as the "task". . One problem is expressed by the following equation (1).

However, there are N problems (N is an integer of 1 or more) in the game. P (i) represents the i-th problem (i is an integer of 1 or more and N or less) from the head. T (i) represents the task time corresponding to task P (i). B (x) represents the subject matter.

In the problem content B (x), a value B (L) representing a button 121, a value B (D) representing a button 122, a value B (U) representing a button 123, and a button 124 are represented. One of a value B (R), B (HR) representing the first gripping module 201, or B (HL) representing the second gripping module 211 is specified.

For example, certain problems are expressed as in Equation 2 below.

At this time, the i-th problem of the game is "pressing the left button 121 of the first controller 111 at the task time T (i)". The player usually presses the left button 121 with his foot when the time in the game reaches T (i).

For example, certain problems are expressed as in Equation 3 below.

At this time, the i-th task of the game is to "move the first holding module 201 at the task time T (i)." When the time in the game reaches T (i), the player may move a hand (usually a right hand) holding the first holding module 201.

It is also possible to correspond a some subject content to one subject time. For example, when two task contents B (x1) and B (x2) are matched with task time T (i), a subject is represented as following formula (4).

Alternatively, as shown in the following equations (5) and (6), it may be displayed as two different problems.

For example, certain problems are expressed as shown in Equation 7 below.

At this time, the i-th problem of the game is "pressing the left button 121 of the first controller 111 and moving the first holding module 201 at the task time T (i). When the player's time in the game reaches T (i), the player can step on the left button 121 with his feet and move the hand (usually the right hand) holding the first holding module 201.

However, it is preferable to correspond a maximum of two subject contents to one subject time. In addition, other tasks except B (L) and B (HL) correspond to the task to which B (L) is associated, and other than B (R) and B (HR) to the task to which B (R) is corresponded. It is preferable to correspond the subject matter.

In the present embodiment, in order to make the present invention easier to understand, the game device is supposed to present the problem to the player by displaying it on the screen 400, but it is not necessarily presented to the player.

For example, a game has a practice mode in which a game device initially sets an example by a guidance screen or the like and then repeats to a player.

In the practice mode, the game device urges the player to represent the exemplary play for the task and repeat as it is. Next, the game device repeats to the player without giving any hint at the task time (or simply presenting a minimum hint). If you follow the example, you have completed the task. In addition, the game is not limited to the practice mode. For example, in any game, the game mode may be presented to the player as a game mode for all seniors.

Next, a functional configuration of the game device 500 in the embodiment in which the home game device 500 is employed as the information processing device 100 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the game device 500 includes a first input reception unit 501, a second input reception unit 502, an acquisition unit 503, a setting unit 504, and a progression unit 505. .

The first input accepting unit 501 accepts a first type of instruction input given from the player via the first controller 111. The CPU 101, the interface 104, and the first controller 111 cooperate to function as the first input receiving unit 501.

The second input accepting unit 502 accepts a second type of instruction input provided from the player via the second controller 105. The instruction input of the second kind includes an instruction input by a movement operation of the first gripping module 201 and an instruction input by a movement operation of the second gripping module 211. The CPU 101, the interface 104, and the second controller 105 cooperate to function as the second input receiving unit 502.

The acquisition unit 503 includes the change amount ΔP within a predetermined time of the position of the first holding module 201, the change amount ΔQ within a predetermined time in the direction of the first holding module 201, and the second holding module ( The change amount ΔR in a predetermined time in the direction of 211) is obtained respectively. The CPU 101, the interface 104, the first controller 111, and the second controller 105 cooperate to function as the acquisition unit 503.

As described above, the player grasps and grips the first holding module 201 and / or the second holding module 211 of the second controller 105 by hand, so that each of the holding modules 201, 211 can be moved. The position and / or direction can be changed. The CPU 101 determines the position and the direction in the real space of the first holding module 201 and the direction in the real space of the second holding module 211, for example, VSYNC. Acquire at regular timings such as

The CPU 101 temporarily stores the history of the information indicating the position from the current time until the predetermined time and the history of the information indicating the direction to the RAM 103 or the like. That is, the history of the position and the history of the direction are temporarily stored in the RAM 103 or the like, and are updated immediately with the passage of time. Then, the CPU 101 changes the amount ΔP of the position of the first gripping module 201, the amount ΔQ of the direction of the first gripping module 201, and the direction of the second gripping module 211 within a predetermined time. The amount of change ΔR of each is calculated.

The CPU 101 determines how much the position of the first holding module 201 has moved (how far the player has moved) between the current time and a predetermined time, and the first holding module 201. ), And how much the direction of the second gripping module 211 has moved (how much the player has moved), and how much the direction of the second holding module 211 can be determined.

Next, the setting unit 504 sets a game to be executed in the game device 500 to the double determination mode when the amount of change acquired by the acquisition unit 503 is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, and otherwise determines a single determination. Set to mode. The CPU 101 functions as the setting unit 504.

For example, the CPU 101 displays a flag indicating whether the game mode is a double judgment mode or a single judgment mode, which is stored in a predetermined memory area of the RAM 103 based on a result of determination of a condition to be described later. (Hereinafter referred to as "mode flag") is updated.

Here, the game mode executed in the game device 500 of the present embodiment will be described. The game mode has a double judgment mode and a single judgment mode. In the present embodiment, the CPU 101 sets the game mode to the double determination mode at the beginning of the game.

The double determination mode is a mode for advancing the game based on both the first type of instruction input using the first controller 111 and the second type of instruction input using the second controller 105. For example, as in the present embodiment, the first controller 111 is a mat-type controller for stepping on a foot to give an instruction input, and the second controller 105 is a gripped controller for moving a hand and giving an instruction input. In the double determination mode, the game device 500 includes the task time, the timing at which the player stepped on each of the buttons 121 to 124 with the foot, and the first hand holding module 201 and second holding by the player. Based on the timing of moving the module 211, the player's performance is determined. In other words, it is determined whether the player moved his hand at the timing at which the player should move his hand and whether he stepped at the timing at which the player should step.

In the double determination mode, the screen 400 displays only the first type of cover, the second type of cover, or both the first type of cover and the second type of cover. In this embodiment, six types of marks, such as the tread position indication marks 410A to 410D, and the movement position indication marks 420A and 420B, are scrolled and displayed.

On the other hand, the single judgment mode is a mode in which the game is advanced based on the first type of instruction input using the first controller 111, and the second type of instruction input does not affect the progress of the game. For example, in the single determination mode, the game device 500 determines the player's performance based on the task time and the timing at which the player stepped on each of the buttons 121 to 124 with their feet. That is, it is determined whether or not the player stepped at the timing at which the player should step, but not whether the player moved at the timing at which the player should move the hand.

In the single determination mode, the screen 400 displays only the first kind of marks among the first type of marks and the second type of marks. In this embodiment, four types of marks, such as the tread position indicating marks 410A to 410D, are scroll displayed.

Predetermined thresholds ΔP _TH , ΔQ _TH , and ΔR _TH are provided in the change amounts ΔP, ΔQ, and ΔR, respectively.

The CPU 101 determines whether the following conditions 1 to 3 are satisfied during the game. In other words, the CPU 101,

(Condition 1) whether or not the amount of change ΔP of the position of the first gripping module 201 is equal to or greater than the threshold ΔP _TH ,

(Condition 2) whether the amount of change ΔQ in the direction of the first holding module 201 is equal to or larger than the threshold ΔQ _TH ,

(Condition 3) Whether the amount of change ΔR in the direction of the second gripping module 211 is equal to or greater than the threshold ΔR _TH .

Determine each of them.

The CPU 101 sets the game mode to the double determination mode when any one of the changes ΔP, ΔQ, and ΔR has a threshold value or more. The CPU 101 sets a flag value indicating that the double determination mode is a mode flag.

If the at least one or more of the position or direction of the first gripping module 201 or the direction of the second gripping module 211 is changed by more than the amount indicated by the threshold value, the CPU 101 generates a player. It is assumed that the game is being played while using the two controllers 105. Then, the CPU 101 advances the game based not only on the first instruction input from the player by the first controller 111 but also on the second instruction input by the second controller 105.

On the other hand, when both the position and the direction of the first holding module 201 or the direction of the second holding module 211 do not change by more than the amount indicated by the threshold value, the CPU 101 determines that the player is the second. It is assumed that the game is played without using the controller 105. The CPU 101 sets the game mode to the single judgment mode. The CPU 101 sets a flag value indicating that the single determination mode is the mode flag. Then, the CPU 101 advances the game based on the first instruction input from the player by the first controller 111.

If the player is playing a game with both or one of the first and second grip modules 201 and 211, the position of the first grip module 201, the direction of the first grip module 201, the second At least one of the directions of the gripping module 211 is likely to change. Therefore, if at least one of these changes is equal to or greater than the threshold value, it can be inferred that the player has the second controller 105.

In addition, when both the position and the direction of the first holding module 201 and the direction of the second holding module 211 change more than the amount indicated by the threshold value, the CPU 101 changes the player to the second position. It is assumed that the game is being played while using the controller 105, and the game is progressed based on not only the first instruction input from the player by the first controller 111 but also the second instruction input by the second controller 105. You may comprise so that it may be made.

In addition, the CPU 101 determines one or two of either the change amount ΔP of the position of the first holding module 201 or the change amount ΔQ of the direction, or the change amount ΔR of the direction of the second holding module 211. The calculation may be performed to determine whether or not the calculated change amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. In this case, the CPU 101 may determine whether the condition using the amount of change calculated in the conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied, not all of the conditions 1 to 3 above.

6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a time change of the change amount ΔQ in the direction of the first gripping module 201. As described above, the CPU 101 determines whether the game mode is a double judgment mode or a single judgment mode based on whether the change amount ΔQ is equal to or larger than the threshold Q _TH . For example, the CPU 101 sets the game to the single judgment mode in the time zone 601 from the time T1 to the time T2 when the change amount ΔQ is less than the threshold Q _TH . Further, the CPU 101 sets the game to the double determination mode at the time zones 602 and 603 from the time T2 to the time T4 when the change amount ΔQ is equal to or greater than the threshold Q _TH .

Further, the CPU 101 determines whether the first gripping module 201 has been moved by the player based on whether the change amount ΔQ is equal to or larger than the predetermined value Q _s . This predetermined value Q _s is referred to as "motion determination reference value". For example, the CPU 101 estimates that the first gripping module 201 has been moved by the player at time T3 when the change amount ΔQ has changed from less than the movement determination reference value Q _S to the movement determination reference value Q _s or more.

Or, CPU (101), the amount of change ΔQ a motion determination reference value from the changed time T3 to the motion determination reference value Q _s or more from less than Q _s, the variation ΔQ a motion determination reference value Q _s motion determination reference value Q _s is less than the changed time T4 from the above It is also possible to assume that the first gripping module 201 has been moved by the player in the time zone 603 between the two.

For example, CPU (101), the amount of change ΔQ a motion determination reference value Q _s from motion determination reference value as a motion determination change amount ΔQ from the changed time T3 as Qs or more reference motion determining from Q _s more than a reference value is changed time to less than Q _s T4 less than In the time zone 603 during the time period, the first gripping module 201 may be estimated to have been moved by the player at the time T5 at which the change amount ΔQ becomes the maximum.

In the case where there are a plurality of times at which the change amount ΔQ is maximal, the first holding module 201 is a time when the player is moved, and any of them may be adopted. For example, the CPU 101 may estimate that the first gripping module 201 has been moved by the player at the time when the change amount ΔQ is maximum among the times when the change amount ΔQ becomes the maximum.

The motion determination reference value can be provided not only in the change amount ΔQ in the direction of the first holding module 201, but also in the change amount ΔP in the position of the first holding module 201 and the change amount ΔR in the direction of the second holding module 211. have. The motion determination reference value corresponding to the change amount ΔP is referred to as P _s and the motion determination reference value corresponding to the change amount ΔR is referred to as R _s . By taking ΔP or ΔR on the vertical axis of FIG. 6, the threshold ΔQ _TH can be replaced with ΔP _TH or ΔR _TH , and the motion determination reference value ΔQ _s can be replaced with ΔP _s or ΔR _s .

For example, the CPU 101 determines that the change amount ΔP of the position of the first gripping module 201 is equal to or greater than the movement determination reference value P _s , or the change amount ΔQ in the direction of the first gripping module 201 is the movement determination reference value. When it becomes Q _s or more, it may be determined that the first holding module 201 has been moved by the player.

Alternatively, the CPU 101 determines that the change amount ΔP of the position of the first gripping module 201 is equal to or greater than the movement determination reference value P _s , and the change amount ΔQ in the direction of the first gripping module 201 is the movement determination reference value Q _s. In this case, it may be determined that the first gripping module 201 has been moved by the player.

Further, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the first gripping module 201 is moved by whether or not the amount of change ΔQ in the direction of the first gripping module 201 is equal to or greater than the movement determination reference value Q _s . It is possible to determine whether the second gripping module 211 is moved by determining whether the change amount ΔR in the direction of the two gripping module 211 is equal to or larger than the movement determination reference value R _s .

In this way, when the change amounts ΔP, ΔQ, ΔR, the threshold values P _TH , Q _TH , R _TH , and the motion determination reference values P _s , Q _s , and R _s are used, the CPU 101 generates a player based on these values. Operation of the first gripping module 201 and the second gripping module 211 can be estimated.

For example, when the change amount ΔQ in the direction of the first holding module 201 is zero, the player does not carry the first holding module 201 on the floor or the like, or the first holding module ( It can be assumed that 201) is faulty or the battery is exhausted. At this time, the CPU 101 may set the game mode to the single determination mode.

For example, if 0 ≦ ΔQ <Q _TH is satisfied, the CPU 101 can assume that the player is playing the game without using the first holding module 201. In addition, the CPU 101 may set the game mode to the single determination mode when 0 ≦ ΔQ <Q _TH is satisfied continuously for a predetermined time.

For example, when Q _TH ≤ ΔQ <Q _s , the CPU 101 may assume that the player does not move the first holding module 201 but possesses it.

For example, when Q _s ≤ ΔQ is satisfied, the CPU 101 may assume that the first holding module 201 is held and that the first holding module 201 is moved. As in the present embodiment, in a game in which the player plays with the first holding module 201 in his right hand, the CPU 101 can assume that the player has moved the first holding module 201 in his right hand.

As a specific example, if the game content is in fitness or training,

(a) When Q _s ≤ ΔQ is satisfied, the CPU 101 notifies the player by displaying a message or an image such as "GOOD" or "I am doing well" on the screen or outputting audio,

(b) When Q _TH ≤ΔQ <Q _s is satisfied, the CPU 101 notifies the player by displaying a message or an image on the screen or outputting a voice such as "Move more hands", "Make more effort" or the like. ,

(c) When 0 <ΔQ <Q _TH is satisfied, the CPU 101 notifies the player by displaying a message or an image on the screen or outputting a voice such as "Your hands are stopped" or "Do not give up". ,

(d) When ΔQ = 0, the CPU 101 notifies the player by displaying a message or an image on the screen or outputting a sound such as "The controller is not connected" or "The controller may be broken". You may also

In this way, the CPU 101 may notify the player of an appropriate message depending on the operation of the player or the estimation result of the use states of the first and second gripping modules 201 and 211. As means for notifying the player, in addition to the display of the character, still image, moving image, etc., audio output, vibration of the first holding module 201, flashing of a lamp such as an LED, or the like may be used.

In addition, in the case where 0 ≦ ΔQ <Q _TH is satisfied, the CPU 101 according to the direction of the first holding module 201 or the player's operation or the first holding module 201 and the second holding module 211. May be used.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, when 0 ≦ ΔQ <Q _TH (typically ΔQ = 0), and the first holding module 201 is placed horizontally, the CPU 101 may determine that the player is temporary. Only the first holding module 201 is provided, and it is assumed that the first holding module 201 is likely to be held again, so that the game mode is not switched from the double determination mode to the single determination mode.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7B, when 0 ≦ ΔQ <Q _TH (typically ΔQ = 0), and the first gripping module 201 is placed vertically (horizontally), the CPU 101, It is assumed that the player does not play the game using the first gripping module 201, and it is unlikely to carry the first gripping module 201 again, so that the game mode is switched from the double judgment mode to the single judgment mode.

The correspondence between the method of placing the gripping module 201 and the estimation result is only an example. In the above description, the horizontal and the vertical may be replaced, and the switching between the double determination mode and the single determination mode may be performed when placed in the same attitude toward another predetermined direction.

Although the variation amount ΔQ in the direction of the first gripping module 201 has been described herein, the CPU 101 uses the variation amount ΔP of the position of the first gripping module 201 to operate the player or the first gripping module ( The use state of 201) may be similarly estimated. In addition, the CPU 101 may similarly estimate the player's operation and the use state of the second gripping module 211 using the change amount ΔR in the direction of the second gripping module 211.

In addition, when the game mode is the single determination mode, when at least one of the changes ΔP, ΔQ, and ΔR is equal to or greater than the threshold, the CPU 101 switches back from the single determination mode to the double determination mode again. Can be.

Further, the CPU 101 sets the single judgment mode at the beginning of the game, and switches to the single judgment mode from the single judgment mode when at least one of the changes ΔP, ΔQ, and ΔR is equal to or greater than the threshold. You may also

Next, when the game mode is the double determination mode, the progressing unit 505 advances the game by the first type of instruction input and the second type of instruction input. If the game mode is the single judgment mode, the game is advanced by the first type of instruction input. The CPU 101 functions as the progress unit 505.

That is, when the value of the mode flag indicates the double determination mode, the CPU 101 advances the game by the first type of instruction input and the second type of instruction input. On the other hand, when the value of the mode flag indicates the single determination mode, the CPU 101 advances the game by the first type of instruction input so that the second type of instruction input does not affect the progress of the game. do.

For example, in the double determination mode, the CPU 101 scrolls and displays the tread position indicating marks 410A to 410D, and the movement position indicating marks 420A and 420B. The CPU 101 then provides the player with a game in which the player makes a task of moving the feet and / or hands at a predetermined timing. As a result, the player can learn the steps and choreography of a typical dance.

For example, when the CPU 101 is in the single determination mode, the CPU 101 scrolls the tread position indication marks 410A to 410D, and does not scroll the movement position indication marks 420A and 420B. . The CPU 101 then provides the player with a game in which the player moves the foot at a predetermined timing. As a result, the player can learn the steps of an exemplary dance.

In addition, in the single judgment mode, the CPU 101 advances the game based on the second type of instruction input, not on the first type of instruction input, so that the first type of cover and the first type are displayed on the screen 400. It is also possible to display only the second type of label out of the two types of labels. In other words, it is determined whether the player moved his hand at the timing at which the player should move his hand, but it is also possible not to determine whether the player stepped at the timing at which the player should step. In this case, the CPU 101 provides the player with a game in which the player moves his hand at a predetermined timing. As a result, the player can learn choreography of exemplary dances.

Next, game processing performed by each of the above-described units will be described. 8 is a flowchart showing a game process of the present embodiment. In the following description, the first controller 111 is a mat-type controller that the player usually steps on, and the second controller 105 is provided with a gripped controller that the player usually presses or moves while holding it in his hand. . However, as long as the game device 500 includes a plurality of controllers and is capable of accepting instruction input by the player from each controller, the shape, function, use, etc. of each controller are not limited by the present invention.

In the following description, a dance game is taken as an example. The instruction input of the first kind is input to the CPU 101 by pressing operation of the buttons 121 to 124 of the first controller 111 by the player. The instruction type of the second type is input to the CPU 101 by the movement operation of the first holding module 201 of the second controller 105 by the player and the movement operation of the second holding module 211. However, the game content is not limited by the present invention.

First, the CPU 101 reads out data indicating a problem set in advance from a DVD-ROM or the like (step S801). The CPU 101 also reads out music data to be reproduced by the audio processing unit 109 from the DVD-ROM or the like.

The CPU 101 starts playback of the read music data and starts measurement of the elapsed time from the head of the music (step S802).

Next, the CPU 101 acquires the states of the first controller 111 and the second controller 105 (step S803).

Specifically, the CPU 101 includes the change amount ΔP of the position of the first holding module 201, the change amount ΔQ in the direction of the first holding module 201, and the second holding module 211 within a predetermined time. The amount of change ΔR in the direction of) is calculated respectively. The predetermined time period typically refers to the time from the time X seconds before the present time to the present time. The predetermined time may be represented by the number of times of periodic interruption of interruption such as VSYNC.

The CPU 101 determines whether any one of the change amounts ΔP, ΔQ, and ΔR is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value (step S804). In other words, the CPU 101 discriminates whether or not the condition 1, condition 2 and condition 3 are satisfied.

When one or more of the change amounts ΔP, ΔQ, and ΔR are equal to or more than a predetermined threshold (step S804: YES), the CPU 101 sets the game mode to the double determination mode and advances the game (step S805). That is, in this case, the CPU 101 assumes that the player is playing the game using the second controller 105 and proceeds with the game. If the amount of change ΔP and / or ΔQ is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold, the CPU 101 estimates that the player is playing with the first gripping module 201 in hand, and if the amount of change ΔR is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold, the CPU 101 removes the player. It is assumed that the two gripping modules 211 are held in the hand.

On the other hand, when all of the change amount (DELTA) P, (DELTA) Q, and (DELTA) R are not more than predetermined threshold (step S804: NO), CPU101 advances a game by setting a game mode to a single determination mode (step S806). That is, the CPU 101 assumes that the player is playing the game without holding both the first and second gripping modules 201 and 211, and proceeds with the game.

In this case, the term "playing the game" specifically refers to changing the direction of the game depending on whether or not the instruction input of the first or second type has been performed by the player, and continues the task until the end of the song. It is paid.

For example, in the double determination mode, the CPU 101, when an instruction input of the first or second type is made, either the stop marks 401 to 404, or the tread position indication mark 410. Or the movement position indication mark 420 brightens the lane where the scroll is displayed. That is, the player can easily distinguish which button is determined to be pressed by the game device 500, or which the holding module is determined to have moved.

On the other hand, in the single determination mode, the CPU 101 directs the stop marks 401 to 404 and the like when the first type of instruction input is made bright, but the second type of instruction input is made. The display of the stop marks 401 to 404 and the like is not changed. In the practice mode, demonstration, or test mode of the game, the performance of the player does not necessarily need to be determined in the course of the game.

Or, "playing the game" means that the player's performance is determined by whether or not the instruction input corresponding to the predetermined task time is made by the player at the predetermined task time (that is, whether the task is cleared). The problem is continued until the end of the tune or until the value indicated by the gauge 430 reaches the minimum value.

That is, in the double determination mode, the CPU 101 determines the performance of the player based on whether or not the pressing operation or the movement operation is performed at the task time for all the tasks to be scored.

For example, the CPU 101 adds the value (dance meter) indicated by the gauge 430 or the player's score when the task is cleared, but subtracts the value indicated by the gauge 430 when the task is not cleared, or the player's score. Do not add scores.

For example, in the double determination mode, when the task is cleared, the CPU 101 increases the volume of shouts of the audience in the game, or brightens the virtual spotlight or the reality spotlight in the game. The same direction, but if the task is not cleared, the audience is booing or the spotlight is dark.

On the other hand, in the single determination mode, the CPU 101 has a task in which the task content relates to the first controller 111 (that is, B (L), B (D), B (U), and B (R)). A player's grade is determined based on whether or not any one of them is cleared, but the task (ie, B (HL) or B (HR)) in which the task content is related to the second controller 105. Do not judge the grade.

Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not there is an instruction input designated for the task content at the task time (step S807).

If there is no instruction input (step S807: NO), the processing proceeds to step S809 described later. If there is no instruction input at the task time, the CPU 101 may treat it as not achieved for the task, and may deduct the score of the player, or may not add or deduct the score. In addition, in this embodiment, when there is no instruction | input input at the task time, the score of a player is not deducted, but the value (dance meter) which the gauge 430 shows is deducted.

On the other hand, when there is an instruction input (step S807: YES), the CPU 101 calculates the score of the player according to the error between the task time and the time when the instruction input by the player was performed, thereby obtaining the score of the player ( Step S808).

For example, the CPU 101 adds a predetermined success score to the player's score when the time when the instruction input by the player was within a predetermined time before and after the task time, but not within the predetermined time. Does not add or subtracts a predetermined failure score.

Then, the CPU 101 generates the game screen 400 and displays it on the monitor (step S809). In this game screen 400, for example, as shown in Fig. 4, the first marks scrolling toward the stop marks 401 to 404 and the stop marks 401 to 404 as the game progresses. Mark (i.e., tread position indication marks 410A to 410D), a second type of mark (i.e. movement position indication marks 420A, 420B) that scrolls with the progress of the game as well, gauge 430 ), And the like.

By repeatedly executing the above processes, the game screen 400 matching the music to be played is displayed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the game device 500, in a game that can use a plurality of controllers including a controller (or gripping module) having a variable position and / or direction, the amount of change of position and / or direction From the change amount of, it is possible to determine whether the player is playing the game using a controller having a variable position and / or direction, and change to a suitable game mode according to the determination result.

The player can continue the game by simply switching between the double judgment mode using two controllers and the single judgment mode using only one controller without any troublesome operation.

For example, if you're playing a game that moves both hands and feet in double-judgment mode, and you're tired of your hands and want to play with just your feet, just put the modules in your hand on a table or floor. The determination mode is switched. At that time, the player does not need to interrupt the play and does not take the trouble of pushing the button only for mode switching.

For example, when the player wants to return to the double judgment mode while playing in the single judgment mode, the user can switch to the double judgment mode by simply picking up a module placed on a table, a floor, or the like.

Further, according to the present invention, in a party-type game in which a plurality of players compete with each other for dance proficiency, the game device 500 when each player is playing a game using at least one controller. ) Can properly switch between the competitive mode and the single-player mode without bothering the player's hand.

For example, if one of the two players withdraws in the middle and does not use the controller, the amount of change in the position and / or the direction of the controller used by the player who has dropped out becomes less than the predetermined threshold. The game device 500 can determine that one player is not participating in the game, and can switch from the competitive mode (double determination mode) to the one-player play mode (single determination mode). During this mode switching, the game device 500 can smoothly shift from the competitive mode to the single player mode without interrupting the game. On the contrary, it is also possible to smoothly shift from the single player play mode to the competitive mode without interrupting the game.

In addition, when the battery needs to be connected to the controller as a supply power supply, the battery may be exhausted, or the power cord may come off when it is necessary to connect the controller to an external power source using an outlet or the like. In addition, the controller may break down. When these unexpected accidents have occurred, the amount of change in the position and / or the direction of the controller does not meet the predetermined threshold (typically the amount of change is zero). The game device 500 can determine whether or not the controller is in a usable state from the change amount of the position of the controller and / or the change amount of the direction, and change to a suitable game mode according to the determination result. That is, the game device 500 can automatically change to the game mode which does not use this controller, when it is estimated that the controller is unusable due to the battery exhaustion or failure.

(Embodiment 2)

Next, other embodiment of this invention is described. This embodiment differs from the above-described embodiment in that the configuration of the subject matter, the configuration of the screen 400 projected on the monitor, and the like are changed in accordance with the set game mode. It will be described in detail below.

As shown in FIG. 9, the game device 500 of the present embodiment further includes a presentation unit 901.

The presentation unit 901 displays a cover of the first type on the screen 400 when the type of the instruction input currently corresponding to the task time is the first kind. In addition, the presentation unit 901 displays the cover of the second kind when the kind of the instruction input currently corresponding to the task time is the second kind. The game device presents the subject to the player by displaying a cover of the first or second kind on the screen 400. The player can immediately determine the task time and the task content (that is, when any action is fine) by looking at the cover of the first type and the cover of the second type in the screen 400. The CPU 101 and the image processing unit 108 cooperate to function as the presentation unit 901.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the game device 500 has been described as having a configuration for presenting the problem to the player. In this embodiment, the progress part 505 can change a subject appropriately based on a change of a game mode, and the presentation part 901 changes and shows the display method of a subject before and after a subject change.

When the game mode is the single determination mode, the progressing unit 505 associates the first type of instruction input with the task time when the kind of the instruction input corresponding to the task time is the second kind. That is, in the single judgment mode, the instruction time corresponding to the instruction content corresponding to the instruction input of the second type (two types of B (HL) and B (HR) here) was initially applied to the instruction input of the first type. Corresponding instructions (in this case, four types of B (L), B (D), B (U), and B (HR)) are newly corresponded. More simply, "servo" turns into "family tree".

The progression unit 505 replaces B (HL) with B (L), which conceptually means the same left direction, and B (HR), with B (R), which conceptually means the same right direction. It is desirable to. That is, it is preferable to change a subject so that the task content of moving a left hand may be replaced by the task content of stepping on a left foot, and the task content of moving a right hand will be replaced with the task content of stepping on a right foot. However, this is only an example and can be changed to any subject matter.

Therefore, in the problem in which the second kind of marks are displayed in the double determination mode, the first kind of marks is displayed instead of the second kind of marks in the single determination mode.

10 shows an example of the configuration of the screen 400 in the double determination mode (that is, before replacing the problem). 11 is a configuration example of a screen 400 in a single determination mode (ie, after replacement of a task). If the problem that the task time has not yet reached the present time remains, the CPU 101 has a task time corresponding to the task content corresponding to the second type of instruction input for the remaining task. The task content corresponding to the instruction input is made to correspond again.

As shown in FIG. 11, the CPU 101 has a type of instruction input corresponding to the task time, as shown in FIG. 11, even when there is a cover of the second type among the tasks already presented in the screen 400 as shown in FIG. 10. The instruction input of the first kind is corresponded to the task time of the second kind again.

However, the CPU 101 does not change the task content with respect to the problem already presented in the screen 400, and corresponds to the instruction input of the second type for the problem not yet presented in the screen 400. You may respond | correspond again to the subject matter which corresponded to subject matter, the subject matter corresponded to a 1st type instruction input.

This technique is suitable for a case where it is desired to provide a time delay between the judgment timing of whether to change the game mode and the change timing of actually changing the game mode. Since the cover already presented in the screen 400 does not suddenly change, it is possible to switch the game mode without difficulty so as not to give a discomfort to the player.

Alternatively, in the problem that the CPU 101 has already presented in the screen 400, the problem content is about the time from the current time to the later time by a predetermined time (for example, n seconds from now). To the task time corresponding to the input content of the second type of instruction for the task from the current time to the time after the predetermined time (for example, n seconds later, etc.) from the current time. The subject matter corresponding to one type of instruction input may be corresponded again.

In other words, in the problem already presented in the screen 400, the distance 1001 from the position of the stop mark 401 to 404 in the screen 400 to the position of the movement position indication mark 420 is predetermined. The display of the movement position indication mark 420 does not change for a problem that is less than the distance, but the movement position indication mark 420 changes to the tread position indication mark 410 for a problem where the distance 1001 is greater than or equal to a predetermined distance.

Even with this technique, it is possible to switch the game mode without causing any inconvenience to the player. In addition, the situation in which the "report" already displayed on the screen 400 is switched to the "family tree" is displayed, so that the game mode has been changed for the player at a glance. In addition, the movement position indication mark 420 which has come to the immediate vicinity of the stop marks 401 to 404 turns into the tread position indication mark 410 and does not cause the player to be confused.

Since other configurations are the same as those in the above embodiment, the description is omitted. According to the present embodiment, the player can intuitively understand the task time and the task content by looking at the screen 400. In addition, since the configuration of the screen 400 changes according to the change of the game mode, the player can clearly recognize the game mode.

(Embodiment 3)

Next, other embodiment of this invention is described. This embodiment is a modification of the second embodiment, and similarly to the second embodiment, the content of the subject, the configuration of the screen 400 projected on the monitor, and the like change depending on the set game mode. It will be described in detail below.

When the game mode is the single determination mode, the progressing unit 505 deletes the task time whose type of instruction input corresponding to the task time is the second kind. That is, in the single judgment mode, the instruction time corresponding to the instruction content corresponding to the instruction input of the second type (two types of B (HL) and B (HR) here) is initially applied to the instruction input of the second type. There is no equivalent task. More simply, the "family tree" remains, but the "family tree" disappears.

12 is a configuration example of a screen 400 in a single determination mode (ie, after replacement of a task). If a task remains that the task time has not yet reached the current time, the CPU 101 searches the task time to which the task content corresponding to the second type of instruction input corresponds to the remaining tasks, and searches for the result. Delete the task accordingly. That is, the subject to which the subject matter corresponded to the instruction | indication input of a 2nd type corresponds is erased, and disappears in the object of grade determination.

As shown in FIG. 12, the CPU 101 has a type of instruction input corresponding to the task time, as shown in FIG. 12, even when there is a cover of the second kind among the tasks already presented in the screen 400 as shown in FIG. 10. Delete the second kind of task.

However, the CPU 101 does not change the task content with respect to the problem already presented in the screen 400, and corresponds to the instruction input of the second type for the problem not yet presented in the screen 400. You may delete the subject to which the subject content corresponds.

This technique is suitable when a time delay is to be provided between the judgment timing of whether or not to change the game mode and the change timing of actually changing the game mode. Since the cover that has already been presented in the screen 400 does not suddenly disappear, the game mode can be easily switched so as not to cause discomfort to the player.

Alternatively, in the problem that the CPU 101 has already presented in the screen 400, the content of the task is about the time from the current time to the later time by a predetermined time (for example, n seconds from now). The task corresponding to the task content corresponding to the second type of instruction input may be deleted with respect to the task at a time after the predetermined time from the current time (for example, n seconds later, etc.) from the current time. .

In other words, in the problem already presented in the screen 400, the distance 1001 from the position of the stop mark 401 to 404 in the screen 400 to the position of the movement position indication mark 420 is predetermined. The display of the movement position indication mark 420 does not change for a problem that is less than the distance, but the movement position indication mark 420 disappears for a problem where the distance 1001 is greater than or equal to a predetermined distance.

Even with this technique, it is possible to switch the game mode without difficulty so as not to cause a discomfort to the player. In addition, since a situation in which the "report" disappeared in the screen 400 disappears is displayed, it can be seen at a glance that the game mode has been changed for the player. In addition, the movement position indication mark 420, which has been brought to the immediate vicinity of the stop marks 401 to 404, suddenly disappears and does not cause the player to be confused.

According to the present embodiment, the player can intuitively understand the task time and the task content by looking at the screen 400. In addition, since the configuration of the screen 400 changes according to the change of the game mode, the player can clearly recognize the game mode.

(Embodiment 4)

Next, other embodiment of this invention is described. This embodiment is a modification of Embodiments 2 and 3, and similarly to Embodiments 2 and 3, the configuration of the screen 400 projected on the contents of the subject, the monitor, and the like change depending on the set game mode. It will be described in detail below.

As in each of the above embodiments, when the game mode is the single determination mode, the progressing unit 505 deletes the task time whose type of instruction input corresponding to the task time is the second kind.

The presenting unit 901 displays the first type of cover on the screen 400 when the type of the instruction input currently corresponding to the task time is the first type, similarly to the above embodiments.

In addition, the presenting unit 901 displays a mark of the second type when the current game mode is the double determination mode and the type of the instruction input currently corresponding to the task time is the second type. On the other hand, when the present game mode is a single determination mode and the type of instruction input currently corresponding to the task time is the second kind, the presentation part 901 displays the third kind of mark instead of the second kind of mark. .

The label of the 3rd kind is a label which shows the subject which existed before it was erased. The marks of the third kind are typically marks 1320A and 1320B in which the movement position indicating marks 420A and 420B are lightly displayed, such as afterimages. Or the mark which changed the color, shape, size, etc. of the movement position indication mark 420A, 420B, such as graying out or making it small may be used.

Since the problem does not already correspond to the time indicated by the cover of the third kind, the CPU 101 does not have any influence on the score determination of the player.

13 is an example of the configuration of the screen 400 in the single determination mode (that is, after replacing the problem). If a task remains that the task time has not yet reached the current time, the CPU 101 searches the task time to which the task content corresponding to the second type of instruction input corresponds to the remaining tasks, and searches for the result. Delete the task accordingly. That is, the subject to which the subject matter corresponded to the instruction | indication input of a 2nd type corresponds is erased, and disappears in the object of grade determination. However, the CPU 101 displays the third kind of mark instead of the second kind of mark.

At this time, the CPU 101, even if there is a cover of the second type among the tasks already presented in the screen 400, as shown in FIG. 10, shows the instruction input corresponding to the task time as shown in FIG. The task of the second kind is deleted, and the cover of the second kind to be deleted is replaced with the cover of the third kind. Since the cover that has already been presented in the screen 400 does not suddenly disappear or change suddenly, the game mode can be easily switched so as not to cause discomfort to the player.

In addition, the CPU 101 does not change the content of the task with respect to the problem that has already been presented in the screen 400, and corresponds to the instruction input of the second type for the problem that has not been presented in the screen 400 yet. The subject corresponding to the subject matter to be deleted may be deleted, and the cover of the second kind to be deleted may be replaced with the cover of the third kind.

Alternatively, in the problem that the CPU 101 has already presented in the screen 400, the problem content is about the time from the current time to the later time by a predetermined time (for example, n seconds from now). Deletes a task corresponding to the task content corresponding to the second type of instruction input for a task at a time (for example, n seconds from now) after the predetermined time from the current time; The label of the second kind to be deleted may be replaced with the label of the third kind.

Also in this embodiment, the player can intuitively understand the task time and the task content by looking at the screen 400. In addition, since the configuration of the screen 400 changes according to the change of the game mode, the player can clearly recognize the game mode. In addition, if it is played with the second controller 105, it is possible to know at a glance what kind of tasks are to be assigned, so that the player can also perform image training.
