  In the conventional technique, since the reference coordinates are fixed, it may be difficult to operate depending on the game situation, the size of the player's hand, and the play style. As a technique for solving this problem, a technique is known in which the reference coordinates are updated with a player touching a touch panel as a trigger. However, since the act of touching the touch panel is normally performed at the time of operation, the reference coordinates may be updated at a timing not intended by the player. For example, when the reference coordinate is updated when the player touches the touch panel again with a finger released from the touch panel, the reference coordinate is updated when the finger is released during the operation. Also, if the reference coordinates are updated every predetermined period or every time the contact position moves by a predetermined distance, the player is forcibly updated even if the player does not want to update the reference coordinates. was there.

Moreover, not all of the configurations described in the present embodiment are necessary constituent requirements of the present invention.

1. Configuration FIG. 1 shows an example of a functional block diagram of the game apparatus of the present embodiment. Note that the game device of this embodiment may have a configuration in which some of the components (each unit) in FIG. 1 are omitted.

  The input unit 150 is for receiving a contact operation on the input surface by the player (detecting a contact input), continuously detecting the coordinate value of the contact position of the contact operation, and outputting the detected value to the processing unit 100. To do. The function of the input unit 150 can be realized by a touch panel or a touch pad. As a contact position detection method, there are a capacitive coupling method, a resistive film method (4-wire type, 5-wire type), an ultrasonic surface acoustic wave method, an infrared scanning method, and the like. The touch operation (touch operation) on the input surface may be performed using a fingertip, or may be performed using an input member such as a touch pen.

  The input unit 150 includes a pressure sensor 152. The pressure sensor 152 detects the pressure of the contact operation on the input surface and outputs the detected value to the processing unit 100. As the pressure sensor 152, a gauge type pressure sensor or a capacitance type pressure sensor provided on a touch panel or a touch pad can be used. Further, as the pressure sensor 152, a writing pressure sensor provided in a touch pen may be used.

  The storage unit 170 stores programs and various data for causing the computer to function as each unit of the processing unit 100, and also functions as a work area of the processing unit 100. The function can be realized by a hard disk, a RAM, or the like.

  The display unit 190 outputs the game image generated by the processing unit 100, and its function can be realized by a display such as a touch panel, LCD, or CRT that also functions as the input unit 150.

  The sound output unit 192 outputs the sound generated by the processing unit 100, and its function can be realized by a speaker, headphones, or the like.

  The communication unit 196 performs various controls for performing communication with the server and other game devices, and the functions can be realized by hardware such as various processors or communication ASICs, programs, and the like.

  Note that a program and various data for causing the computer to function as each unit of the processing unit 100 stored in the information storage medium and storage unit of the server are received via the network, and the received program and data are stored in the storage unit 170. May be stored. The case of receiving the program and various data and causing the terminal to function is also included in the scope of the present invention.

  The processing unit 100 (processor) performs game processing based on input information from the input unit 150 (touch panel or touchpad output value, pressure sensor 152 output value), a program, data received via the communication unit 196, and the like. , Image generation processing, sound generation processing, and the like. The functions of the processing unit 100 can be realized by hardware such as various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), and programs. The processing unit 100 includes a pressure determination unit 110, a game control unit 112, a reference coordinate update unit 114, a display control unit 116, an image generation unit 120, and a sound generation unit 130.

  Based on the output value of the pressure sensor 152, the pressurization determination unit 110 determines whether or not the contact operation with respect to the input surface is a push-in operation involving pressurization greater than or equal to a predetermined level. In addition, when the input unit 150 does not include the pressure sensor 152, the pressurization determination unit 110 determines the contact area of the touch operation on the input surface (the finger touching the input surface based on the output value of the touch panel or the touch pad). (Area) may be calculated (detected), and it may be determined whether or not the contact operation is a push-in operation based on a temporal change in the contact area. For example, it may be determined that the push-in operation has been performed when the contact area changes to a predetermined value or more, and it may be determined that the push-in operation is continued when the contact area is maintained at a predetermined value or more.

  The game control unit 112 determines the distance from the reference coordinates set on the input surface to the designated coordinates specified in accordance with a contact operation (contact operation that is not a push-in operation) that does not involve a predetermined pressure or higher, and the reference coordinates The game is controlled based on at least one of directions from to the designated coordinates. For example, the game control unit 112 may perform movement control of an object (character, vehicle, ball, etc.) arranged in the game space. In this case, the game control unit 112 determines the moving speed (or moving distance) of the object based on the distance from the reference coordinate to the designated coordinate, and determines the moving direction of the object based on the direction from the reference coordinate to the designated coordinate. You may decide.

  The reference coordinate update unit 114 updates the reference coordinates when a push operation is performed. The update coordinates of the reference coordinates may be the coordinates of the contact position of the push operation, may be coordinates that are a predetermined distance away from the contact position of the push operation, may be the designated coordinates immediately before the push operation is performed, or may be determined by the player Pre-designated coordinates may be used. Further, the update destination coordinates of the reference coordinates may be the coordinates of an object (such as a character) that is a target of movement control. The coordinates of the object may be the coordinates of the object under game control, the center of gravity of the object image, or a predetermined part of the object image (for example, the head of the character). When a plurality of objects that are targets of movement control are displayed, the coordinates of an object that can be operated may be used, or conversely, the coordinates of an object that may not be operated may be used. Alternatively, the coordinates of an object that is not the operation target of the player (for example, an NPC such as an enemy character) may be used.

  In addition, the reference coordinate update unit 114 may update the reference coordinates when a push-in operation is performed while designation of designated coordinates (a contact operation not involving pressurization exceeding a predetermined value) is continued. For example, when a contact operation without pressurizing more than a predetermined value continues for a predetermined time or longer, the designated coordinate may be in a continuous state, or a contact operation without pressurizing more than a predetermined value continues. When the total movement distance of the designated coordinates during the period is not less than a predetermined distance, the designation coordinates may be continuously specified. In addition, when the contact position of the push operation is changed while the push operation is continued, the reference coordinate update unit 114 may update the reference coordinates according to the touch position of the push operation after the change. The reference coordinate updating unit 114 may cancel the update of the reference coordinates when a predetermined contact operation is performed after the reference coordinates are updated. Further, the reference coordinate updating unit 114, when the pushing operation is performed when the reference coordinates are set, the reference coordinates are changed according to the pressure of the pushing operation (for example, at a speed corresponding to the pressure). The reference coordinates may be updated so as to approach the contact position. Further, it may be determined how close the reference coordinate is to the contact position of the push operation according to the pressure of the push operation, and the reference coordinate approaches the contact position of the push operation as the pressure of the push operation increases. For example, if the pressure of the push-in operation is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the reference coordinates are brought close to each other so that the reference coordinate overlaps the contact position of the push-in operation. The reference coordinates may be updated to an intermediate point between the contact positions of the pushing operation.

In addition, the reference coordinate update unit 114 automatically performs a predetermined position on the input surface (when the reference coordinate is canceled, for example, when the reference coordinate is not set) (for example, when the reference coordinate is canceled for the first time). The reference coordinates may be set to predetermined coordinates (for example, any one of the center and four corners of the input surface, or coordinates specified in advance by the player), coordinates of an object to be subjected to movement control, and the like. . In addition, the reference coordinate update unit 114 sets the reference coordinates to the coordinates of the contact position of the push-in operation or a predetermined position on the input surface when the push-in operation is performed when the reference coordinate is not set. Good.

  The display control unit 116 performs control to display a predetermined image representing the reference coordinates in the display area. The predetermined image may be an image that at least indicates where the reference coordinates are in the display area. For example, an image having a predetermined shape (for example, a circle or a polygon) centered on the reference coordinates may be used as the predetermined image. Further, when the reference coordinates are set to the coordinates of the object to be subjected to movement control, the image of the object may be a predetermined image, or the predetermined image is superimposed (translucently) on the image of the object. It may be displayed. Further, information relating to the game (character parameters and information relating to items in use) may be displayed at the reference coordinates, and the information may be used as a predetermined image. The display control unit 116 may not display a predetermined image while the reference coordinates are updated or the designated coordinates are designated (an image of an object to be subjected to movement control is determined in advance). Except for images of.

  The image generation unit 120 performs a drawing process based on the results of various processes performed by the processing unit 100, thereby generating a game image (an object image subject to movement control, an image including a predetermined image), The data is output to the display unit 190. The image generation unit 120 may generate an image (so-called three-dimensional image) that can be seen from a virtual camera (a given viewpoint) in the object space (game space).

  The sound generation unit 130 performs sound processing based on the results of various processes performed by the processing unit 100, generates game sounds such as BGM, sound effects, or sounds, and outputs the game sounds to the sound output unit 192.

2. Next, the method of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen (game image) displayed on the display unit 190 (touch panel).

  The game screen GI displays a character CR (player character) arranged in the game space, and the player can move the character CR in the game space by performing a touch operation on the touch panel (input surface). it can. A reference coordinate RC is set at a predetermined position on the game screen GI as an input surface, and a predetermined image PI representing the reference coordinate RC is displayed on the game screen GI. Here, the reference coordinate RC is set in the lower left area of the game screen GI, but the reference coordinate RC may be set at a position designated in advance by the player. Here, an image representing a circle centered on the reference coordinate RC is displayed as the predetermined image PI.

When the player performs a touch operation (a touch operation that is not accompanied by a predetermined pressure or more on the input surface) that touches an arbitrary position on the game screen GI, the coordinates of the touch position (coordinates in the coordinate system of the input surface) are indicated. Designated (input) as coordinates DC, the movement of the character CR is controlled based on the distance from the reference coordinates RC to the designated coordinates DC and the direction from the reference coordinates RC to the designated coordinates DC. That is, the moving speed and moving distance of the character CR are controlled based on the distance from the reference coordinate RC to the designated coordinate DC, and the moving direction of the character CR is controlled based on the direction from the reference coordinate RC to the designated coordinate DC. While the designated coordinate DC is specified (the contact operation without pressing the input surface over a predetermined amount is continued), the designated coordinate D is changed from the reference coordinate RC.
The movement control based on the distance to C and the direction from the reference coordinate RC to the designated coordinate DC is repeated.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 3, when the player performs a contact operation (push-in operation) with a predetermined pressure or more on the input surface at an arbitrary position AP on the game screen GI, as shown in FIG. The reference coordinates RC are updated to the coordinates of the contact position (position AP) of the pushing operation. When the reference coordinates RC are updated, the display position of the predetermined image PI is also updated to a position centered on the updated reference coordinates RC. After that, as shown in FIG. 5, when the designated coordinate DC is designated by a contact operation that is not a push-in operation, the distance from the updated reference coordinate RC to the designated coordinate DC and the updated reference coordinate RC to the designated coordinate DC. The movement control of the character CR is performed based on the direction.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a contact operation (a contact operation that is not a push-in operation) that does not involve a pressurization or more than a predetermined pressure on the input surface is performed, the reference coordinate RC is not updated and the contact is performed. The movement of the character CR is controlled based on the designated coordinates DC specified by the operation, and when a contact operation (push-in operation) with a predetermined pressure or more is performed on the input surface, the reference coordinate RC is updated to thereby update the player. A touch user interface that prevents the reference coordinate RC from being updated at an unintended timing and can update the reference coordinate RC by a touch operation with an intuitive and clear intention of the player to push the input surface with a force greater than a predetermined force. Can be provided.

  In the above example, the case where the reference coordinate RC is updated when the pushing operation is performed once has been described. However, when the pushing operation is repeated a predetermined number of times at the same position, or when the pushing operation is continued at the same position for a predetermined time. In addition, the reference coordinate RC may be updated. In addition, when the pressing operation is performed in a state where the contact operation is not performed, the reference coordinate RC is not updated, and the pressing operation is performed while the contact operation that is not the pressing operation continues for a predetermined time or more. In addition, the reference coordinate RC may be updated. In this way, it is possible to prevent the reference coordinate RC from being updated due to unintentionally pressing strongly at the start of the contact operation on the input surface.

  In the above example, the case where the reference coordinate RC is updated to the coordinate of the contact position of the push operation has been described. However, the reference coordinate RC may be updated to a coordinate that is a predetermined distance away from the contact position of the push operation. The instruction coordinates DC immediately before the pressing operation may be updated, or the coordinates specified in advance by the player may be updated. Further, the reference coordinates RC may be updated to the coordinates of the character CR. In this case, the image of the character CR itself may be a predetermined image representing the reference coordinates RC, or the predetermined image PI may be displayed superimposed on the character CR. Further, the reference coordinate RC may be updated to the coordinate in the direction in which the finger is facing (the tip of the finger) when the pushing operation is performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, in the pressure distribution in the portion where the finger FG contacts the input surface, the direction in which the pressure increases is the direction D in which the finger is facing, and the position where the pressure is highest (the tip of the finger The reference coordinates RC may be set at coordinates that are a predetermined distance away from each other in the direction D. In addition, when determining the pressure from the change in the contact area of the contact operation, even if it is determined that the finger is in the direction in which the change spreads, with the coordinate that is the starting point of the change in the contact area as the tip of the finger Good. Further, the direction in which the finger is pointing may be determined based on the position where the push operation is performed on the input surface. For example, if the contact position of the push operation is in the left area of the input surface, the upper right direction is the direction in which the finger is facing, and if the contact position is in the right area of the input surface, the upper left direction May be the direction in which the finger is pointing.

Further, when the contact position of the push operation is changed while the push operation is continued, the reference coordinates RC may be updated according to the contact position of the push operation after the change. For example, the reference coordinate RC may be sequentially updated to the contact position of the push operation after the change, or a position that is a predetermined distance away from the contact position of the push operation after the change, and the contact position before the change and the contact after the change. The reference coordinates RC may be sequentially updated to positions along line segments connecting the positions. In addition, the reference coordinate RC may be updated according to the direction from the base point of the contact position of the changed push operation with the position where the push operation is first performed as the base point. Specifically, the coordinates of the update destination of the reference coordinates RC may be set in advance in association with the direction from the base point. For example, when the contact position of the push operation is changed upward from the base point, the reference coordinate RC is updated to the center coordinate of the input surface, and when the contact position of the push operation is changed rightward from the base point When the reference coordinate RC is updated to the coordinate of the right corner of the input surface and the contact position of the push operation is changed from the base point to the left, the reference coordinate RC is updated to the coordinate of the left corner of the input surface, and from the base point When the contact position of the pushing operation is changed downward, the reference coordinates RC may be updated to the coordinates of the character CR. In addition, when there are a plurality of characters such as the character CR and the enemy character, the character is set in association with the direction from the base point, and the coordinates of the character associated with the direction from the base point of the touch position of the push operation are set. The reference coordinate RC may be updated. When the direction from the base point and the coordinate (or character) to which the reference coordinate RC is updated are associated, it is desirable to display the predetermined image PI in such a manner that the player can grasp the correspondence. In this way, by configuring the reference coordinate RC to be updated according to the contact position during the pressing operation, the player can intuitively and clearly have the intention of moving the finger or the like while pressing the input surface. The reference coordinate RC can be updated by a contact operation involving. When the contact position of the contact operation that is not the push-in operation is changed in a state where the contact operation is continued after the push-in operation is performed, the reference coordinates RC are changed according to the contact position of the contact operation after the change. May be updated.

  Further, when the pushing operation is performed when the reference coordinate RC is set, the reference coordinate RC may be updated so that the reference coordinate RC approaches the contact position of the pushing operation according to the pressure of the pushing operation. . For example, the higher the pressure of the push operation, the faster the moving speed of the reference coordinate RC when the reference coordinate RC approaches the contact position of the push operation.

  Further, when a predetermined contact operation is performed after the reference coordinate RC is updated, the update of the reference coordinate RC may be canceled. For example, when a push operation is performed again after a contact operation that is not a push operation is performed within a predetermined time from the update of the reference coordinate RC at the position where the push operation is performed, the update of the reference coordinate RC is canceled. Also good. Also, if the contact position has moved more than a predetermined distance from the position where the push operation was performed (for example, the contact position of the push operation has moved to the end of the input surface), or continue the push operation If the contact position moves so as to draw a predetermined locus, the update of the reference coordinate RC may be canceled. When the update of the reference coordinate RC is canceled, it may be returned to the state where the reference coordinate RC is not set on the input surface, or the update history of the reference coordinate RC is stored and returned to the previous reference coordinate RC. Alternatively, the reference coordinates RC may be set at an initial position (a predetermined position on the input surface). As described above, by allowing the player to cancel the update of the reference coordinate RC, the convenience of the player can be improved.

3. Processing Next, an example of processing of the game device of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, the processing unit 100 sets the reference coordinate RC at a predetermined position in the coordinate system of the input surface (step S10). Next, based on the input information from the input unit 150, the processing unit 100 determines whether or not there has been a contact operation on the input surface (step S11), and if there is no contact operation (N in step S11). The process proceeds to step S15.

  When there is a contact operation (Y in step S11), the pressurization determination unit 110 determines whether or not the contact operation is a push-in operation with a predetermined pressure or more based on the output value of the pressure sensor 152. Is determined (step S12). If the contact operation is not a push-in operation (a contact operation that does not involve a pressurization higher than a predetermined value) (N in Step S12), the game control unit 112 is designated from the reference coordinates RC according to the contact operation. The movement of the character CR is controlled based on the distance to the designated coordinate DC and the direction from the reference coordinate RC to the designated coordinate DC (step S13). On the other hand, when the contact operation is a push-in operation (Y in step S12), the reference coordinate update unit 114 updates the reference coordinate RC (step S14). For example, the reference coordinate update unit 114 updates the reference coordinate RC according to the contact position of the push-in operation (to the coordinate of the contact position or to a coordinate separated from the contact position by a predetermined distance).

  Next, the display control unit 116 and the image generation unit 120 perform drawing processing of a game image (an image including a character CR, a predetermined image PI displayed on the reference coordinates RC, and the like) (step S15), and the process proceeds to step S11. To do. Thereafter, the processes in steps S11 to S15 are repeated every frame (for example, 1/60 seconds).

  The present invention is not limited to that described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made.
