Description

The present invention relates to a game program and a game apparatus capable of exchanging sentences between a character that can be operated by a player and a character that is automatically operated on the computer side, and in particular, requires a huge amount of data. The present invention relates to a game program and a game device that allow a player to exchange sentences expressed in free words without any simple processing.

    In this specification, the “game software” is a concept including the program itself and various data associated with the program as necessary. However, the “game software” does not necessarily have to be associated with the data, but the program always has it. In addition, the “various associated data” may be stored in a memory means such as a ROM disk together with a program, and further stored in an external memory means so as to be readable via a communication mediating means such as the Internet. May be.

    Generally, in this type of game software, a player is a character (hereinafter referred to as “computer character”) that is automatically operated on the computer side through a character (hereinafter referred to as “operation character”) that can be operated by the player. , You can exchange sentences in the game world. As exchanges of such sentences, there are many exchanges that are generally performed in daily life, such as letters and e-mails. As described above, since the means of exchange performed in daily life is realistically reproduced in the game world, the degree of emotion transfer of the player to the computer character can be increased, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

Conventionally, as a related technique, what was disclosed by patent document 1 is known.

    However, a sentence that is returned from the computer character to the operation character (hereinafter referred to as “response sentence”) is generally stored in the above-described game software as data corresponding to a specific sentence or a specific word. ing. Therefore, if the sentence actually entered by the player is different from the above-mentioned specific sentence or specific word even with a slight wording, the computer will not accept the input sentence, so a reply sentence will be output. Not. As a result, the player must correct the sentence until the sentence to be input matches the specific sentence or includes a specific word, which gives the player an excessive input operation burden, There was an inconvenience that spoiled the interest of

    In order to reduce the burden of such an input operation, there is a method in which a large number of sentences with various expressions are prepared in advance as sentences that the player will input. Will be input as one-to-one data in the game software, so it would be necessary to store a huge amount of text as data, resulting in a huge data capacity. .

    Also, without storing the response text and the text that the player will input as one-to-one correspondence data, the text actually input by the player is analyzed from the grammar and context, and the analysis result Depending on the situation, there is a way to output an appropriate response text, but such text analysis processing is complicated, so it is not practical for smooth game processing.

    The external storage device 17 is configured, for example, in a cartridge type that is detachable from the main body 2, and includes a ROM (read only memory) 18 as a storage medium and a RAM (random) as a rewritable user memory. (Access memory) 19 is provided. In the ROM 18, game software GSW for causing the game machine 1 to function as a computer is recorded in advance. As the RAM 19, a rewritable ROM such as a flash memory is used, and for example, game save data is stored in the RAM 19 as necessary.

    The storage medium of the external storage device 17 is not limited to a semiconductor storage element, and various storage media such as a magnetic storage medium, an optical storage medium, and a magneto-optical storage medium may be used. It is also possible to supply the game software GSW via communication mediating means such as the Internet without using such a storage medium. Alternatively, the game software GSW may be read and activated from another game machine connected by peer-to-peer. Note that an interface circuit is interposed between the bus 16 and each element as necessary, but illustration of them is omitted. The configuration of the control device 10 is not limited to the above, and various control devices may be used.

    In order to connect the game machine 1 to a predetermined communication line, another game machine or the like, a communication control circuit 20 is connected to the CPU 11 via the bus 16. A communication connector 22 is connected to the communication control circuit 20 via a communication I / F (communication interface) 21. As the communication control circuit 20, for example, a circuit that functions as a modem or a network interface by using a combination of a DSP (digital signal processor) and software can be used. The communication I / F 21 and the communication connector 22 may be provided as peripheral devices externally connected to the game machine 1.

    Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the game software GSW is configured as a hierarchical structure in which a plurality of programs that make a game progress according to a predetermined scenario such as a role playing game or an adventure game are modularized.

    In the lower hierarchy shown on the left side in FIG. 3, programs for processing a user interface such as an input processing program IPP, an image processing program ANP, and a sound processing program SDP are recorded. A scenario processing program SPP and the like are recorded in the upper hierarchy shown in the approximate center in the figure. In the upper hierarchy shown on the right side of the figure, programs for executing and controlling various tasks necessary for the progress of the game, such as an input sentence processing program ISP and a response sentence processing program RSP, according to the present invention are recorded. Further, in the data area in the upper hierarchy shown on the right side of the figure, a word group list WGL, response sentence text data lists RTL1, RTL10, and the like are recorded.

    The various data stored in the data area of the game software GSW can be stored in any manner as long as the game software GSW has readability, and the game software GSW is programmed as in this embodiment. At the same time, in addition to being stored in the ROM 18 or RAM 19 (or ROM disk) of the external storage device 17, it is stored in an external memory means, and a communication mediating means such as the Internet is read by a read program provided in the game software GSW. It may be configured to download to a memory such as the RAM 13 via the.

    In addition, a plurality of tasks generated based on the programs ISP, RSP,... Of the game software GSW are sequentially executed as multitasks according to their priorities as a multitask operation system (multitask OS) (not shown). . The above-described hierarchical structure shows only programs necessary for explaining the present invention as a simple hierarchical structure. The actual hierarchical structure is more complicated, and various programs such as a parallel processing program are stored. Is included. In addition, arrows indicating instructions and data exchanges are shown between the programs, but these arrows are for easy understanding of the invention, and these arrows indicate how the program is processed and how data is handled. It is not limited.

    When a predetermined initialization operation (for example, a power-on operation) is performed on the game machine 1 having the above configuration, the CPU 11 executes a predetermined initialization process according to the program in the ROM 12, and when the initialization process ends, Each program and each data of the game software GSW shown in FIG. 3 recorded in the ROM 18 of the storage device 17 are read and stored in the RAM 13. Thus, the game software GSW stored in the RAM 13 starts various processes necessary for executing the game.

    Thereafter, the game machine 1 performs a predetermined process in accordance with the read game software GSW, controls the display of an image displayed on the display 3, and controls the progress of a predetermined scenario.

    During the progress of the game, the player uses a character (hereinafter referred to as “operation character”) that can be operated by the player via the input device 4 in accordance with the scenario development indicated by the scenario processing program SPP shown in FIG. It is set so that characters that are automatically operated (hereinafter referred to as “computer characters”) can be exchanged.

    As such exchange of text, a predetermined character is displayed on the display 3 and a microphone (not shown) is provided on the main body of the game machine 1 in addition to exchange of text representing letters, e-mails, etc. It is also possible to exchange voice sentences via the microphone and the speaker 7. It is assumed that the game software GSW in the present embodiment is set so that a sentence representing a letter can be exchanged.

    The scenario in which the progress is controlled advances to a scene where a letter can be exchanged, and in order for the player to send a letter to a predetermined computer character, a sentence indicating the content of the letter from the player (hereinafter referred to as “input sentence IS”). Assume that an input command for displaying an input text creation screen that can be created is input via the input device 4. In the above scenario, it is assumed that the content of the topic of the character's “favorite food” is controlled, and therefore the scenario development is the topic of “favorite food” between the operation character and the computer character. It is assumed that it is progressing.

    In response to the display instruction, the input sentence processing program ISP shown in FIG. 3 instructs the CPU 11 to display the input sentence creation screen. The CPU 11 performs image processing based on the image processing program ANP shown in FIG. An input text creation screen (not shown) is displayed on the display 3 via the circuit 14. When the input sentence creation screen is displayed, the player presses the direction key 5 and the push button switches 6a and 6b of the input device 4 in accordance with the instruction on the input sentence creation screen to configure the input sentence IS1 in a predetermined manner. Select a character and go. As described above, the scenario development is progressing between the operating character and the computer character in the form of “favorite food” as a topic, so that the player, for example, “I like candy”. ”As an input sentence IS1, and a corresponding character is selected.

    The CPU 11 outputs the selected character to the RAM 13 as a predetermined signal corresponding to each character based on the input processing program IPP shown in FIG. 3, and is further input to the RAM 13 based on the input sentence processing program ISP. The predetermined signal is converted into character code data corresponding to the selected character.

    When the player selects all the characters constituting the input sentence IS1, the player presses the push button switch 6a of the input device 4 and inputs a signal indicating that the creation of the input sentence IS1 is completed. Upon receiving the signal, the CPU 11 stores the character code data corresponding to the input sentence IS1 in the data area of the RAM 13 as the input sentence text data ITD1.

    The character code data described above may have any data format as long as it has a one-to-one correspondence with characters (not necessarily one character but a combination of characters). For example, standardized character code data such as JIS code (Japanese Industrial Standard Code) may be used, or unique character code data set in the game software GSW may be used.

    When the input sentence text data ITD1 is stored in the RAM 13, the input sentence processing program ISP instructs the CPU 11 to display the input sentence IS1 indicated by the input sentence text data ITD1. Upon receiving the display command, the CPU 11 displays the input sentence IS1 “I like candy” on the display 3 as shown in FIG. 4A via the image processing circuit 14 based on the image processing program ANP. Display above.

    It is assumed that the player views the displayed input sentence IS1 and inputs a signal through the input device 4 to send a letter containing the input sentence IS1 to a predetermined computer character. Upon receiving the signal, the input sentence processing program ISP matches the word data wd (described later) stored in the word group list WGL shown in FIG. 5 from the input sentence text data ITD1 stored in the RAM 13 to the CPU 11. A command is issued to extract word data wd and a command is issued to determine which word group WG (described later) stored in the word group list WGL the extracted word data wd belongs to.

    In the word group list WGL, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of word groups WG1, WG2, WG3,... Are stored, and each word group WG1, WG2, WG3,. It is comprised by wd12, wd13, ....

    In the following description, when the word groups WG1, WG2, WG3,... Do not need to be distinguished, they are expressed as the word group WG, and the word data wd11, wd12, wd13,. Is expressed as a word group wd.

    The word data wd refers to character code data indicating a word, and the “word” here is, for example, in the sentence “I like candy”, “Oira”, “ha”, “鯵”, This means the smallest unit of language that indicates "ga", "like", and "da", but is not necessarily limited to this, it is a connection of multiple words, for example, "like" and "da" You may include what you like.

    These word data wd are grouped as a word group WG1, WG2, WG3,... In a form that classifies the meaning of the word indicated by the word data wd. Specifically, the word group WG1 shown in FIG. 5 is a group of word data wd11, wd12, wd13, wd14,..., Which indicate the words “self”, “I”, “I”, “Oira”,. It has become. These word groups consisting of “me”, “me”, “me”, “my”, etc. are self-proclaimed in different forms of expression, that is, the word group WG1 categorizes the word meaning “me”. Yes.

    The word group WG2 shown in FIG. 5 groups word data wd21, wd22, wd23, wd24,..., Which indicate the words “fish”, “carp”, “carp”, “shishamo”,. The word group consisting of “fish”, “carp”, “carp”, “shishamo”,... Includes the type of “fish” and means “fish”, that is, the word group WG2 is The word meaning "fish" is typified.

    The word group WG3 shown in FIG. 5 groups word data wd31, wd32, wd33,..., Which indicate the words “I like”, “I like”, “I like”,. The word group consisting of these “Like”, “I like”, “I like”, and so on, includes words that include auxiliary verbs such as “Da” and “Da” in “Like”. Meaning, that is, the word group WG3 classifies words that mean “like”.

    In the same manner, the word groups WG4, WG5, WG6, WG7, WG8,... Have a word meaning “other than fish”, a word meaning “you”, a word meaning “what”, and “busy”, respectively. It classifies the meaning word, the word meaning “free time”, and so on.

    Note that the word groups WG1, WG2,... Shown in FIG. 5 are examples of groups of words, and are not necessarily limited to this. For example, the words constituting the word groups may be the contents of the game theme or scenario. You may set suitably according to etc. For example, in the case of a role-playing game based on the theme of “love” between characters, the word group WG3 meaning “like” is expressed as “love”, “love”, “ It may be composed of word data wd indicating a word group such as “drown”,.

    Thus, when the CPU 11 receives commands from the input sentence processing program ISP for the extraction process of the word data wd and the determination process of the word group WG (hereinafter simply referred to as “extraction / determination process”), first, the input sentence text data. The ITD 1 and the word group list WGL are called from the data area of the RAM 13. The CPU 11 refers to the word group WG1 of the called word group list WGL and extracts word data wd that matches the word data wd11, wd12, wd13,... Of the word group WG1 from the input sentence text data ITD1.

    As described above, the input sentence text data ITD1 is composed of the character code data corresponding to the input sentence IS1 of “I like candy”. Therefore, the input sentence text data ITD1 is “Ira”. It has the word data wd14 shown. Therefore, the CPU 11 extracts the word data wd14 from the input sentence text data ITD1.

    When the word data wd14 is extracted from the input sentence text data ITD1, the CPU 11 refers to the word group list WGL and determines to which word group WG the extracted word data wd14 belongs. Since the word data wd14 is grouped into the word group WG1 as shown in FIG. 5, the CPU 11 determines that the extracted word data wd14 belongs to the word group WG1.

    When the extraction / determination process for the word group WG1 is completed, the same process is performed for the word group WG2. That is, the CPU 11 refers to the word group WG2 of the word group list WGL, and extracts word data wd that matches the word data wd21, wd22, wd23,... Of the word group WG2 from the input sentence text data ITD1.

    Since the input sentence text data ITD1 has word data wd22 indicating “鯵”, the CPU 11 extracts the word data wd22 from the input sentence text data ITD1. When the word data wd22 is extracted, the word data wd22 is grouped into the word group WG2 as shown in FIG. 5, so the CPU 11 determines that the extracted word data wd22 belongs to the word group WG2.

    When the extraction / determination process for the word group WG2 is completed, the same process is performed for the word group WG3. That is, the CPU 11 refers to the word group WG3 in the word group list WGL and extracts word data wd that matches the word data wd31, wd32, wd33,... Of the word group WG3 from the input sentence text data ITD1.

    The input sentence text data ITD1 has word data wd31 and wd32 respectively indicating “like” and “like”. Here, the word data wd having the larger number of character codes (the number of characters) is preferentially given. Assume that it is set to be extracted. Therefore, the CPU 11 extracts word data wd32 indicating “I like” having more characters than “like” from the input sentence text data ITD1. When the word data wd32 is extracted, the word data wd32 is grouped into the word group WG3 as shown in FIG. 5, so the CPU 11 determines that the extracted word data wd32 belongs to the word group WG3.

    Thus, the CPU 11 performs the same extraction / determination process for the word groups WG4, WG5, WG6,... Based on the input sentence processing program ISP, but the input sentence text data ITD1 is the word groups WG4, WG5, WG6. ,... Are not extracted from the input sentence text data ITD1 because they do not have any word data wd stored in.

    As a result, the word data wd extracted from the input sentence text data ITD1 becomes three word data wd14, wd22, and wd32 indicating the words “Oira”, “鯵”, and “I like”. The word groups WG that are determined to belong to wd14, wd22, and wd32 are three word groups WG1, WG2, and WG3.

    Thus, when all the extraction / determination processes are completed, the CPU 11 stores the temporary keyword group PKG1 composed of the three word groups WG1, WG2, and WG3 described above in the data area of the RAM 13 based on the input sentence processing program ISP. To do.

    Next, the reply sentence processing program RSP shown in FIG. 3 sends the temporary keyword group PKG1 and the keyword group KG (described later) in which all of the word groups WG match the CPU 11 to the reply sentence text data list RTL1 shown in FIG. To search from.

    In the response text data list RTL1, as shown on the right side of FIG. 6, response text data RTD1, RTD2, RTD3, which indicate texts (hereinafter referred to as “response text RS”) sent from the computer character to the player. ... are stored more than once. In the following description, the response text data RTD1, RTD2, RTD3,... Are expressed as response text data RTD when it is not necessary to distinguish them.

    Specifically, as response text data RTD, "Is your favorite food a fish?", "Your favorite food is a vegetable. Healthy, I'm not good at vegetables." Response text text data RTD1, RTD2,... Respectively indicating texts RS1, RS2,... Are stored in the response text data list RTL1.

    Further, the response sentence text data list RTL1 stores keyword groups KG1, KG2,... Corresponding to these reply sentence text data RTD1, RTD2,. In the following description, the keyword groups KG1, KG2,... Are expressed as keyword groups KG when it is not necessary to distinguish them.

    The keyword group KG is composed of a plurality of word groups WG. These plurality of word groups WG correspond to the input sentence IS (response sentence RS corresponding to the reply sentence RS) by using the reply sentence RS indicated by the reply sentence text data RTD as a reply to the letter. The keywords (described later) of the input sentence IS) are shown.

    The keyword group KG1 will be described in detail. The response text RS1 indicated by the response text data RTD1 is “Is your favorite food a fish?” As shown in FIG. 6, and the input text corresponding to this response text RS1. For example, a sentence “I like fish” is assumed as the IS. However, the sentence is not limited to this, and an input sentence IS corresponding to the reply sentence RS1 can be used even if the phrase “I like fish” is changed. Become.

    For example, if you change the expression format of “I” among the words that make up “I like fish”, change it to “I”, “I”, “Oira”,… (that is, “I am fish ”,“ I like fish ”,“ I like fish ”, etc.)), and the input sentence IS corresponding to the reply sentence RS1. Similarly, you can change the expression format of “fish” in the words that make up “I like fish” and change it to “鯵”, “鮭”, “shishamo”,… Even if you change the expression format of “like” among the words that make up “I like fish.” To “I like”, “I like”,…, the sentences with these words still changed The input sentence IS corresponds to the sentence RS1. This is because the sentence meanings of sentences with different phrases can be understood as “the operation character likes fish”. Therefore, as long as the sentence has the meaning, the input sentence IS corresponding to the reply sentence RS1 is used regardless of the wording.

    Here, the keyword of the input sentence IS means a word indicating the meaning of the input sentence IS among the words constituting the input sentence IS. That is, the input sentence IS corresponding to the reply sentence RS1 of “Your favorite food is fish?” Can be variously spoken as described above, but any sentence meaning “the operation character likes fish. Therefore, the keyword of these input sentences IS is a word indicating the meaning of “the operation character likes fish”. The words indicating the meaning of “the operation character likes fish” are, for example, “operation character”, “fish”, and “like”. Therefore, the keywords of the input sentence IS corresponding to the reply sentence RS1 are these Corresponding to “operation character”, “fish”, and “like”, respectively, a word meaning “self”, a word meaning “fish”, and a word meaning “like”.

    On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the keyword group KG1 is composed of word groups WG1, WG2, and WG3, and these word groups WG1, WG2, and WG3 mean “self”, as shown in FIG. A word, a word meaning “fish”, and a word meaning “like” are shown. That is, the word groups WG1, WG2, and WG3 including the keyword group KG1 indicate keywords of the input sentence IS corresponding to the response sentence RS1.

    Note that the input sentence IS corresponding to the reply sentence RS1 is an example, and is not necessarily limited to this. The meaning of the input sentence corresponding to the response sentence RS1 of “Your favorite food is fish?” Can be taken as, for example, “I want to eat fish.” In this case, the keyword of the input sentence IS is For example, the word means “fish” and the word means “food”.

    Thus, upon receiving a keyword group KG search command from the reply text processing program RSP, the CPU 11 calls the temporary keyword group PKG1 and the reply text text data list RTL1 from the data area of the RAM 13. Then, for each of the keyword groups KG1, KG2,... In the response sentence text data list RTL1, it is determined whether or not the temporary keyword group PKG1 and the word group WG all match, and the keyword group KG determined to match is determined. Extract.

    As shown in FIG. 6, the keyword group KG1 is composed of the word groups WG1, WG2, and WG3 as in the temporary keyword group PKG1, so the CPU 11 determines that the keyword group KG1 is the temporary keyword group PKG1, the word groups WG1, WG2, It is determined that all of WG3 match. Therefore, the CPU 11 extracts the keyword group KG1 from the response sentence text data list RTL1.

    When the keyword group KG search process is thus completed, the reply sentence processing program RSP reads out the reply sentence text data RTD corresponding to the extracted keyword group KG1 from the reply sentence text data list RTL1 to the CPU 11, and displays the display 3 Command to display above. As shown in FIG. 6, the response text data RTD corresponding to the keyword group KG1 is RTD1, so that the CPU 11 receives the command and reads the response text text data RTD1 from the response text data list RTL1.

    When the response text data RTD1 is read, the CPU 11 reads the response text RS1 indicated by the response text text data RTD1 via the image processing circuit 14 based on the image processing program ANP as shown in FIG. “Is your favorite fish?” Is displayed on the display 3. Note that the response text RS1 does not need to be displayed immediately after the player inputs the input text IS1, but may be displayed at an appropriate time according to the scenario.

    In this way, when the response text RS1 “Is your favorite fish?” Is displayed on the display 3, the player looks at the displayed response text RS1 and creates “Oira” It is recognized that a response corresponding to the input sentence IS1 of “I like candy” has been received from the computer character.

    In this way, in response to the input sentence IS1 of “I like sharks”, the reply sentence RS1 of “Is your favorite food a fish?” Is displayed on the display 3, but the operation character is a fish. If the sentence has the meaning of “I like”, the input sentence IS does not necessarily have to be the sentence “I like candy.” For example, the case where the sentence “I like a rice cake” is replaced with the sentence “I like a rice ball” as the input sentence IS2 will be described below.

    First, the player displays an input sentence creation screen (not shown) on the display 3 in the same manner as described above, and inputs all the characters constituting the input sentence IS2 of “I like a potato”. When selected via the device 4, input sentence text data ITD 2 corresponding to the input sentence IS 2 is stored in the data area of the RAM 13.

    When the input sentence text data ITD2 is stored in the RAM 13, the above-described extraction process of the word data wd and the determination process of the word group WG are performed. That is, the CPU 11 refers to the word group WG1 of the word group list WGL and extracts word data wd that matches the word data wd11, wd12, wd13,... Of the word group WG1 from the input sentence text data ITD2.

    Since the input text text data ITD2 is composed of character code data corresponding to “I like the bush” and has the word data wd12 indicating “I” shown in FIG. 5, the CPU 11 uses the word data wd12. Is extracted from the input sentence text data ITD2. When the word data wd12 indicating "I" is extracted, the word data wd12 is stored in the same word group WG1 as the word data wd14 indicating "Oira" as shown in FIG. It is determined that the data wd12 belongs to the word group WG1 similarly to the word data wd14 indicating “Oira”.

    When the extraction / determination process for the word group WG1 is completed, the CPU 11 refers to the word group WG2 in the word group list WGL, and obtains word data wd that matches the word data wd21, wd22, wd23,. Extracted from the input text text data ITD2.

    Since the input sentence text data ITD2 has the word data wd24 indicating “shishamo”, the CPU 11 extracts the word data wd24 from the input sentence text data ITD2. When the word data wd24 indicating “shishamo” is extracted, the word data wd24 is stored in the same word group WG2 as the word data wd22 indicating “鯵” as shown in FIG. It is determined that the data wd24 belongs to the word group WG2 similarly to the word data wd22 indicating “２２”.

    When the extraction / determination process for the word group WG2 is completed, the CPU 11 refers to the word group WG3 in the word group list WGL, and obtains word data wd that matches the word data wd31, wd32, wd33,. Extracted from the input text text data ITD2.

    Since the input sentence text data ITD2 has word data wd33 indicating “I like it”, the CPU 11 extracts the word data wd33 from the input sentence text data ITD2. When the word data wd33 indicating “I like” is extracted, the word data wd33 is stored in the same word group WG3 as the word data wd32 indicating “I like” as shown in FIG. The determined word data wd33 is determined to belong to the word group WG3, similarly to the word data wd32 indicating “I like it”.

    Thus, the CPU 11 performs the same extraction / determination process for the word groups WG4, WG5, WG6,... Based on the input sentence processing program ISP, but the input sentence text data ITD2 is the word groups WG4, WG5, WG6. ,... Are not extracted from the input sentence text data ITD2.

    As a result, the word data wd extracted from the input sentence text data ITD2 is different from the input sentence text data ITD1 (in this case, wd14, wd22, wd32). The word data wd12, wd24, and wd33, which respectively indicate words, are determined. The word group WG that is determined to belong to the word data wd12, wd24, and wd33 is similar to the case of the input sentence text data ITD1, the word group WG1, WG2 and WG3.

    Accordingly, the temporary keyword group PKG is composed of the word groups WG1, WG2, and WG3 as in the case of the input sentence text data ITD1, and therefore the CPU 11 determines the keyword group KG1 as the reply sentence text based on the reply sentence processing program RSP. The response sentence text data RTD1 extracted from the data list RTL1 and corresponding to the extracted keyword group KG1 is read from the response sentence text data list RTL1. Thus, as in the case of the input sentence text data ITD1, as shown in FIG. 4B, the response sentence RS1 indicated by the sentence text data list RTL1 on the display 3 is “is your favorite food a fish?”. Will be displayed.

    In this way, even when the wording of the input sentence IS1 of “I like candy” is changed, the input sentence IS2 of “I like the bush” is similar to the above-described input sentence IS1. Since the character has a meaning of “I like fish”, word data wd belonging to the same word group WG1, WG2, WG3 as the input sentence IS1 is extracted as a keyword of the input sentence IS2, and similarly, the response sentence RS1 is displayed. 3 will be displayed.

    In other words, since the input text IS having various phrases corresponding to the response text RS prepared in advance is received based on the keyword group KG composed of a plurality of word groups WG, the player is required to exchange the text with the computer character in advance. The input sentence IS can be created with any wording without any restrictions such as inputting a specific sentence or a specific word. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from burdening the input operation, so that it is possible to prevent the game from being spoiled.

    In addition, since it is not necessary to individually store input sentences IS having different wordings, it is not necessary to prepare the input sentences IS and the response sentences RS as one-to-one correspondence data as in the past, and these sentences Can reduce the data capacity required.

    Moreover, while it is possible to create the input sentence IS with free wording, it is not necessary to analyze the sentence from the grammar and context, so such sentences can be exchanged with simple processing, This is particularly convenient when the processing capacity of the CPU 11 such as a portable game machine is not sufficient.

    In addition, as an example of the input sentence IS, a sentence composed of one sentence such as the input sentence IS1 of “I like candy” and the input sentence IS2 of “I like the rice cake” is shown. However, the input sentence IS may be composed of a plurality of sentences. For example, if the input sentence IS is "Hello. Oira likes mackerel.", By detecting the character data code to the above-mentioned extraction and judgment processing, corresponding to the period that indicates the end of a sentence, "Hello." The response sentence RS corresponding to each searched keyword group KG may be displayed on the display 3 by executing each sentence of “I like samurai”.

    Further, as an example of the response text data list RTL1, as shown in FIG. 6, an example is shown in which one keyword group KG corresponds to one response text data RTD. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one reply sentence text data RTD is stored in the reply sentence text data list RTL in association with a plurality of keyword groups KG combined by the logical operator CC, and the combined keyword groups are stored in the CPU 11. It is also possible to search for KG.

    Hereinafter, processing when a plurality of keyword groups KG are combined with a predetermined logical operator CC will be described with reference to FIGS.

    As shown in FIG. 8, the reply sentence text data list RTL10 includes a plurality of replies each showing reply sentences RS10, RS20, RS30,..., As in the reply sentence text data list RTL1 (see FIG. 6) already described. Text text data RTD10, RTD20, RTD30,... Are stored. The response text data list RTL10 stores keyword groups KG10, KG20, KG30,... Corresponding to the response text data RTD10, RTD20, RTD30,.

    In the keyword group KG10, the keyword group KG11 and the keyword group KG12 are combined by a logical operator CC indicating AND (logical product). The keyword group KG11 includes word groups WG1, WG2, and WG3, and the keyword group KG12 includes word groups WG5, WG6, and WG3.

    Similarly, in the keyword group KG20, the keyword group KG21 and the keyword group KG22 are combined with a logical operator CC indicating AND (logical product). The keyword group KG21 includes word groups WG1, WG4, and WG3, and the keyword group KG22 includes word groups WG1 and WG7.

    Similarly, in the keyword group KG30, the keyword group KG31 and the keyword group KG32 are combined with a logical operator CC indicating AND (logical product). The keyword group KG31 includes word groups WG1, WG4, and WG3, and the keyword group KG32 includes word groups WG5 and WG8.

    Then, the word groups WG of these keyword groups KG10, KG20, KG30,... Are input corresponding to the response sentences RS10, RS20, RS30,..., Respectively, similarly to the response sentence text data list RTL1 (see FIG. 6) already described. The keyword of sentence IS is shown.

    Here, the player displays the above-described input sentence creation screen (not shown) on the display 3, and the input sentence “I like vegetables. Are you free?” Via the input device 4. Suppose that the character which comprises IS10 is selected. Then, the input sentence text data ITD10 corresponding to the input sentence IS10 is stored in the data area of the RAM 13, and the input sentence IS10 is displayed on the display 3 as shown in FIG.

    Thus, when the player inputs a signal to send a letter containing the input sentence IS10 via the input device 4, the CPU 11 executes the above-described extraction / determination process based on the input sentence processing program ISP. . At this time, it is assumed that the extraction / determination process is set to be executed in units of sentences by detecting a character data code indicating a punctuation mark or a question mark indicating the end of the sentence.

    Therefore, the extraction / judgment process for the input sentence text data ITD10 corresponding to “I like vegetables. Are you free?” The preceding text corresponding to the sentence “I like vegetables” in the previous stage. The data ITD 11 and the subsequent text data ITD 12 corresponding to the sentence “You are free?” Are executed separately.

    That is, the CPU 11 extracts, from the preceding text data ITD11, the word data wd11 indicating “self”, the word data wd41 indicating “vegetable”, and the word data wd32 indicating “I like” shown in the word group list WGL of FIG. To do. Since these word data wd11, wd41, and wd32 are respectively stored in the word groups WG1, WG4, and WG3 as shown in FIG. 5, the CPU 11 assigns the word group WG to which the word data wd11, wd41, and wd32 belong to 3 It is determined that there are two word groups WG1, WG4, and WG3, and a temporary keyword group PKG10 including the word groups WG1, WG4, and WG3 is stored in the data area of the RAM 13.

    Furthermore, the CPU 11 extracts word data wd51 indicating “you” and word data wd81 indicating “free” shown in the word group list WGL of FIG. 5 from the subsequent text data ITD12. Since these word data wd51 and wd81 are stored in the word groups WG5 and WG8, respectively, as shown in FIG. 5, the CPU 11 determines that the word group WG to which the word data wd51 and wd81 belong is two word groups WG5 and WG8. And the temporary keyword group PKG20 composed of the word groups WG5 and WG8 is stored in the data area of the RAM 13.

    When the extraction / determination process is thus completed, the CPU 11 executes the above-described keyword group KG search process based on the response sentence processing program RSP.

    That is, the CPU 11 determines whether or not all of the temporary keyword groups PKG10, PKG20 and the word group WG match for each of the keyword groups KG10, KG20, KG30,... In the response text data list RTL10 shown in FIG. Then, the keyword group KG satisfying the logical operator CC indicating AND is searched from the keyword groups KG10, KG20, KG30. This search process has no particular priority, but is set to be performed in the order of the temporary keyword groups PKG10 and PKG20.

    The CPU 11 first calls the temporary keyword groups PKG10 and PKG20 and the response text data list RTL10 from the data area of the RAM 13. Since the keyword group KG11 constituting the keyword group KG10 in the response text data list RTL10 is composed of WG1, WG2, and WG3 as shown in FIG. 8, the CPU 11 determines that the keyword group KG11 is the temporary keyword group PKG10 (word It is determined that the groups WG1, WG4, and WG3) do not match the word group WG. Accordingly, the search proceeds to the search for the keyword group KG21 constituting the next keyword group KG20 without searching for the keyword group KG12.

    As shown in FIG. 8, the keyword group KG21 includes word groups WG1, WG4, and WG3. Therefore, the CPU 11 determines that the keyword group KG21 is the temporary keyword group PKG10 (word groups are WG1, WG4, and WG3) and the word group WG. Is determined to match. However, unlike the temporary keyword group PKG20 (word groups are WG5 and WG8), the other keyword group KG22 constituting the keyword group KG20 is composed of the word groups WG1 and WG7. Therefore, the CPU 11 determines that the keyword group KG22 is temporary It is determined that the keyword group PKG20 and the word group WG do not match. Accordingly, in the keyword group KG20, since the logical operator CC indicating AND is not satisfied, the process proceeds to the search for the keyword group KG31 constituting the next keyword group KG30.

    As shown in FIG. 8, the keyword group KG31 includes word groups WG1, WG4, and WG3. Therefore, the CPU 11 determines that the keyword group KG31 is the temporary keyword group PKG10 (word groups are WG1, WG4, and WG3) and the word group WG. Is determined to match. The other keyword group KG32 constituting the keyword group KG30 is made up of the word groups WG5 and WG8, like the temporary keyword group PKG20. Therefore, the CPU 11 determines that the keyword group KG32 is the temporary keyword group PKG20 and the word group WG. Is determined to match. Therefore, since the logical operator CC indicating AND is satisfied in the keyword group KG30, the CPU 11 extracts the keyword group KG30 from the response sentence text data list RTL10.

    When the keyword group KG30 is extracted, the response text data RTD corresponding to the keyword group KG30 is RTD30 as shown in FIG. 8, so the CPU 11 responds to the keyword group KG30 based on the response text processing program RSP. The text data RTD30 is read from the response text data list RTL10.

    When the response text text data RTD30 is read, the CPU 11 reads the response text RS30 indicated by the response text text data RTD30 as shown in FIG. 7B via the image processing circuit 14 based on the image processing program ANP. "Your favorite food is healthy, I'm healthy. I'm not good at vegetables-if you have a chance, let's go for a meal. I'm a little busy and I'll contact you again." indicate.

    Thus, when the response text RS30 is displayed on the display 3, the player looks at the displayed response text RS30 and creates his own letter as “I like vegetables. Are you free?” It is recognized that a response corresponding to the input sentence IS10 is received from the computer character.

    As described above, since a plurality of keyword groups KG are combined with one response sentence RS, it is possible to use a plurality of sentences such as the input sentence IS10 “I like vegetables. Are you free?” The response text RS corresponding to the configured input text IS can be displayed on the display 3.

    Therefore, when the player sends a letter containing the input sentence IS composed of a plurality of sentences, the player can receive a reply sentence RS composed of a natural flow sentence corresponding to each sentence. You can recreate a natural conversation like a letter exchange in the real world. Thereby, the degree of the player's emotion transfer to the computer character can be increased, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

    As an example in which one response text data RTD is associated with a plurality of keyword groups KG, the response text text data list RTL10 shown in FIG. 8 is shown. However, the number of keyword groups KG to be combined is not necessarily two. There may be three or more. Further, the logical operator CC is not limited to AND (logical product) but may be OR (logical sum) or the like, and a plurality of AND (logical product), OR (logical sum), NOT (logical negation), or the like. It is also possible to combine the logical operators CC.

    In addition, as an example of the input sentence IS, an input sentence IS10 composed of a plurality of sentences (“I like vegetables. Are you free?”), The input sentence IS is not necessarily composed of a plurality of sentences. There may be one sentence. In this case, it is determined whether or not all of the word groups WG match between the temporary keyword group PKG corresponding to one sentence and each keyword group KG, and the logical operator CC is satisfied as described above. A plurality of keyword groups KG may be extracted.

    For example, in the response text data list RTL, response text data RTD indicating “Is your favorite food a fish?”, A keyword group KG consisting of a word group WG meaning “fish” and “like”, respectively, Stored in correspondence with a plurality of keyword groups KG obtained by combining OR (logical sum) with a keyword group KG including word groups WG each meaning “meat” and “dislike”. On the other hand, both of the input sentences IS “I like fish” and “I don't like meat” have a conversation corresponding to the reply sentence RS of “Is your favorite food a fish?” Even when the text IS is input, the logical operator CC indicating OR is satisfied, and the response text RS of “Is your favorite food a fish?” Is displayed on the display 3.

    In the above-described embodiment, the present invention has been described as a game program. However, any software program including various programs IPP, ANP,... In the game software GSW and hardware that allows the software to function are described above. It goes without saying that the present invention can be applied not only to the game software GSW but also configured as a game device, for example.

    In the embodiment described above, the portable game machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 is shown as a game device. However, the game machine is not limited to this as long as it has the same configuration, and a game such as a so-called arcade game machine is mainly used. It goes without saying that the intended device is included, and that the present invention can also be applied to a mobile phone, personal computer, etc. as a game device.

  As an application example of the present invention, it can be applied to game software capable of exchanging sentences between a character that can be operated by a player and a character that is automatically operated on the computer side, and as hardware, The present invention can be applied not only to the portable game machine 1 but also to arcade game machines, mobile phones, personal computers, and the like.
