Next, a description will be given of a processing operation at the time of executing a fishing game in the wireless telephone device having the above-described configuration. The operation described below is an operation executed by the CPU 105, the LCD driver 109, the key driver 111, the vibrator driver 115, and the like in conjunction with the fishing game execution program stored in the flash ROM 108 described above. (1) Various Data Setting Processing Operations FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining various data setting processing operations required when executing the fishing game.

Step 301: Scan whether the user has set the fishing time. Fishing time is 3 minutes, 5
There are four types: minute, ten minutes, and fifteen minutes. When the user starts fishing without setting the fishing time, the fishing time operates in three minutes.

Step 302: When the user selects a fishing time, the mode is shifted to a mode for selecting a food. Feed is 4
There are types, and the user selects one feed from these four types.

Step 303: When the user selects a food, the counting of the set fishing time is started.

Step 304: The value of the water depth, which is the position of the food, is added from 0 m (meter) to 1 m every 500 ms. When the user presses the redial key, the addition is stopped, and the value at the time of the stop is set as the initial value of the water depth. That is, in this step, pressing the redial key is an operation of stopping the movement of the reel.

Step 305: A random number is generated at the timing when the user presses the redial key in step 304. This random number generation is started by a random number generation program stored in the Flash ROM
Is performed by sending a random number to

Step 306... The following data is set by using the random numbers generated in step 305 with reference to the table shown in FIG.

The timing of the start of the hit The type of the fish The size of the fish The random number generated in step 305 is, for example, as shown in FIG. Multiplied by seconds. The type of fish is determined using the value of. If the value is, for example, 0 to 5H as in the table shown in FIG. 4, the type of fish is determined to be “type 1”. Further, the size of the fish is determined by using the value of (1). As shown in FIG. 4, if the value is 0 to 27H, it is an outside road, if it is 28 to 9FH, it is a small item, if it is A0 to DBH, it is a large item, and if it is FA to FFH, it is a large item. The setting is such that the probability of hitting the object becomes lower. The type and size of the fish are different for each of the food set in step 302 and the water depth value set in step 304, and are set based on the table shown in FIG.

As described above, the fish that can be caught is determined from the water depth, the food, the type and the size of the fish. When there is no fish corresponding to FIG. 5, the vibration of the vibrator, which is the following step, is not performed, and the step 305 is performed again for a predetermined time (for example, after the vibration cycle (6800 ms) of the vibrator is completed three times).
And a random number is generated and set again.

(2) Processing Operation from Start of Fishing to Hitting FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation from the start of fishing to hitting.

Step 601... Step 30 in FIG.
The vibration pattern of the vibrator is set according to the size of the fish set in step 6, and the vibrator 116 vibrates at the timing of hitting start set in step 306. As shown in FIG. 7, the vibration pattern varies depending on the size of the fish, and is controlled by the vibrator driver 115 so as to vibrate for a longer time when hit by a large object than a small or medium object. In this way, when a big game hits, the vibration is transmitted to the player for a long time, and the player can feel as if the big game was hit. The cycle of the vibrator vibration is 6800ms per pattern
It is.

Step 602: It is determined whether the redial key is pressed during the hit timing period. Hit timing differs for each size of fish. For example, as shown in FIG. 7 described above, 300 ms is set four times for one cycle (6800 ms), 600 ms is set twice for medium ones, and 400 ms and 3000 ms are set once for large ones.

Step 603... In step 602,
If it is determined that the redial key is pressed during the hit timing period during the three vibration periods of the vibrator, it is determined that a "hit" has occurred, the fish has been caught on the bait, and the operation proceeds to a catching operation described later.

Step 604... In step 602,
If it is determined that the redial key has not been pressed during the hit timing period during the three vibrator vibration cycles, a "bare" will occur, indicating that the food has been eaten, and the feed must be reset or the first time. The game ends when the fishing time set in elapses.

(3) Processing Operation from Hit to Catch FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the operation from hit to catch.

Step 801... If "hit" occurs in the flow shown in FIG. 6, the vibrator performs a vibration operation during fishing. The vibrating operation differs depending on the size of the fish, and the vibrator vibrates based on the pattern shown in FIG. The vibration pattern at this time is also controlled to vibrate for a long time in the case of a large object as compared with a small object or a medium object, as in the case of hitting. By doing so, it is possible to give the player the feeling of having a big fish.

Step 802: When the vibrator vibrating operation starts, the timer starts to start.

Step 803: When the redial key is pressed, the reel is wound in a pseudo manner, and the water depth value changes. The rise / fall of the water depth value depends on the number of times the key is pressed, the size of the fish, and the vibration timing of the vibrator, and is set according to a table as shown in FIG.
For example, when the redial key is pressed three times while the vibrator is not vibrating, if the fish being caught is a large fish, the water depth increases by 1 m. On the other hand, when the redial key is pressed four times during the vibration of the vibrator, if the fish being caught is a large fish, the fish descends by 2 m.

As described above, the vibration pattern of the vibrator is changed in accordance with the size of the fish, and the water depth is set in accordance with the timing of the vibration and the number of times the redial key is pressed. The user can experience that the user is resisting.

Step 804... It is determined whether the timer started in step 802 has counted a predetermined time. Outer roads, small items and medium items are initial water depth x 2000m
In the case of s, the big object is the water depth initial value x 4000 ms, and the rare object is the bale operation when the timer expires, the water depth initial value x 6000 ms, and the fishing fails.

Step 805: If the water depth reaches 0 m before the expiration of the timer, the fishing is successful and the fishing operation is terminated.

Next, in order to facilitate understanding of the invention, the above-mentioned (1) setting processing operation of various data, (2) processing operation from fishing start to hit, and (3)
The processing operation from hit to catch will be described with reference to a specific display screen.

In the initial setting operation of various data, first, as shown in FIG.
Set the fishing time with 1. The setting is made with the arrow keys. "▽" in the figure indicates that the downward direction key has been pressed, and the same applies to the following figures.

Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the screen returns to the initial setting screen 1201 and when the player selects "start fishing", the screen moves to a feed selection screen 1202. When a food is selected with the direction key, a group of fish that can be caught is determined as shown in FIG.

The fishing is started at the same time as the selection of the food, and "**
The screen shifts to "Fishing screen 1 **" 1203, and the player determines the water depth which is the position of the food. The water depth is determined in step 304 of FIG.
As mentioned in the above, 1 every 500 ms after starting fishing
m is added. In the meantime, it means that the reel goes down and the food goes down. Then, when the redial key is pressed, the addition stops (that is, the reel stops), and the total added value at the time of the stop is the water depth. In the example shown in the display screen 1204, the water depth is 25 m.

When the food and the water depth are determined, the fish that can be caught are further squeezed as shown in FIG. For example, when "Isome" is selected as a food and the water depth is 21 to 40 m, fish such as horse mackerel, sardine, puffer fish, sea bream, and red sea bream are determined as fish that can be caught.

A random number is generated at the timing when the redial key is pressed, and the start timing of hitting, the type of fish, and the size of the fish are set at the timing set by using this random number value. As described in the explanation.

After setting the water depth, the vibrator starts the first vibration at the timing of hit start determined using random numbers. Then, if a press of the redial key is detected during a predetermined hit timing period, a hit operation is performed, and if a press of the redial key is not detected, a reverse operation is performed, and a hit screen (display screen 1205) and a reverse screen (display screen) are respectively performed. 12
06) is displayed.

In the case of a hit, as shown in FIG. 13, the operation shifts to a reel winding operation using a redial key, that is, a fishing operation. The display screen at this time looks like 1301. The fishing operation is performed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. If the barre operation is performed during the predetermined period, the screen shifts to the display screen 1206 in FIG. 12. If the barge operation is not performed and the fish is caught to the depth of 0 m, an image of the fish caught is displayed on the LCD (display screen 1302).
The fish image is stored in the flash ROM 108 as a part of a program for executing the main fishing game function.

On the next display screen, to record the caught fish, select "Record". When "record" is selected, the image of the fish is stored in the RAM (for example, the SRAM denoted by reference numeral 107). By doing so, the image of the fish caught can be displayed again on the LCD after the end of the catch,
This increases the interest of the game.

On the other hand, "discharge" can be selected. R
If the free space of the AM is full, a message "cooler box is full" is displayed, prompting the user to release the fish or delete the fish image already stored.

When the first set fishing time has timed out, a message "fishing time out" is displayed as shown in FIG. And after 2 seconds,
"Today's catch" is displayed. Finally, if you want to end the fishing game, set “Fold the rod” on the first setting screen to shift to the normal standby screen. (4) Interruption operation during fishing If there is an incoming voice during the fishing game operation described above, the incoming call is prioritized. The key confirmation sound during the fishing game is turned off. This is realized by transmitting a control signal from the CPU 105 to a sounder that generates a key confirmation sound. On the other hand, if there is an incoming call during the fishing game operation, a control signal is supplied from the CPU 105 to the sounder to turn on the key confirmation sound. When the game is shifted to the fishing game again after the end of the talk, a control signal is supplied to the sounder to turn off the key confirmation sound. This series of operations is also a part of the fishing function execution program described above, and this program is
It is stored in the Ash ROM 108.

When a voice call is received during the operation of the fishing game, the state at that time is temporarily stored in a memory inside the CPU 105. For example, if there is an incoming call during the fishing operation and the call ends and the game returns to the fishing game, the operation returns to the fishing operation again. If it is the vibrator vibration timing of the fishing operation immediately before the incoming call, the vibrator vibration is started again after the end of the call. This series of operations is also part of the fishing function execution program described above, and this program is
It is stored in the ROM 108.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the attribute data of the fish to be caught is set from the generated random numbers by using the vibrator provided for the incoming call notification in the wireless telephone device.
A vibration pattern of the vibrator is set from the attribute data. There are two types of vibration of the vibrator, hitting and catching, and both change the vibration pattern according to the size of the fish, so a big fish hits and catches the big fish when catching it, causing a large load on the fishing rod. Such a feeling can be experienced by the user. Further, since existing configurations such as a vibrator and a random number generation program can be used as they are, a wireless telephone device that does not increase the size of the device can be provided. Therefore, it is possible to satisfy the demands of many users who are not satisfied with the communication function alone.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the timing of the start of the hit, the type of fish, and the size of the fish may not be required to use the random number generation program, and may be set in advance by using the data of seconds in the data measured by the clock provided in the wireless telephone device. Good.

FIG. 15 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the second embodiment of the present invention for setting various data using a clock.

In FIG. 15, parts that are the same as those shown in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted. The difference from FIG. 1 is a clock IC 117. The clock IC supplies the data of the current time to necessary parts, and is provided in a normal wireless telephone device.

In this embodiment, the vibration start timing at the time of hitting, and the type and size data of the fish are set using the second data of the time data supplied from the clock IC. In setting, a table shown in FIG. 16 is referred to.
As shown in FIG. 16, the second is set so that the probability of occurrence of a large or rare object decreases. In this embodiment, since various data set in the fishing game can be set using a clock provided in most wireless telephone devices, there is no need to provide special means for setting and no random numbers are used. A fishing game can be realized with a simple configuration,
It is also advantageous in terms of cost.

Although the clock data is used in the above-described embodiment, it is needless to say that other numerical data may be used instead of the clock data, and that the present invention can be variously modified without changing its purpose. It is.
