Description

  The present invention relates to a user interface technology applied to a device that controls various applications such as a video game.

  Conventionally, RPG (Role Playing Game: A game in which a player plays a role of a character in the game world and enjoys a process of growing through various experiences while achieving a predetermined purpose. Various video games such as video games and simulation games called “)” are provided.

  In recent years, various video games have been proposed in which such video games can be played on a mobile device such as a mobile phone having a touch interface.

  However, since such a portable device has a limited screen size in terms of portability and the like, there are restrictions on the user interface. For this reason, until now, user interface components (UI components) such as push buttons are often clearly indicated at fixed positions on the display screen. In the case of a touch panel, since there is no physical feedback, there are many cases where the user is confused by the operation.

  In order to solve such problems and improve the operability of the game in the portable game machine, for example, a flexible display is used for the display unit of the portable device, so that the game machine can be easily carried even if the screen size is increased. There has also been proposed a portable game machine that can be used (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The user interface process is always executed, for example, when the progress control of the game that is the application of this example is being executed. Here, the case where the process for advancing a battle is performed as progress control of a video game is demonstrated to an example. Note that the contents of operations and processes not related to the present invention may be omitted.

Here, the battle method in this example will be described.
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a game screen (battle screen) displayed on the display screen 13A of the display unit 13 provided in the housing 100A of the video game processing apparatus 100. As shown in FIG. 4, in the battle in this example, player units (a group of characters that can be operated by the player P, which are arranged on the battle field 110 constituted by a plurality of cells, in this example, the player characters P1, P2 ) And enemy units (a group of characters operated by the control unit 11, in this example, enemy characters NP1 to NP5) advance the battle in a turn system. Note that the number of characters that constitute the player unit and the enemy unit may be single. Further, in this example, each character moves on a square constituting the battle field 110, but it is necessary to display a square on the battle field for the player P, for example, when the movement process of each character is executed. Except for a case, it is assumed that no square is displayed on the game screen.

  Further, on the game screen in this example, a panel display area for displaying a selection icon 101 indicating a character selected by the player P according to the progress of the game and a panel corresponding to the character indicated by the selection icon 101 as a display panel. 102 and display panel switching buttons 103 and 104 for accepting a switching operation of a panel displayed in the panel display area 102 are provided. In this example, as shown in FIG. 4, the selection icon 101 is composed of a portion that emphasizes the square where the character is positioned and a portion that is arranged above the character, thereby improving visibility. ing.

  Further, in the vicinity of each character on the battle field 110, an HP gauge 105 indicating the HP of each character is displayed. If necessary, for example, an icon indicating a status abnormality of each character may be displayed in the vicinity of the corresponding character.

  In the user interface process, the control unit 11 first confirms whether or not an operation of pressing the display screen by the player P (a touch operation on the touch panel with a finger or a pen) has been received (step S101).

  When the pressing operation of the display screen is received (Y in Step S101), the control unit 11 is touched by the touch operation of the touch panel with the finger or the pen on the display screen pressed by the pressing operation by the player P. (Position coordinates) is detected (step S102), and the detected pressed position is set to the touch position of the touch operation information stored in the touch operation information management table 12a (for example, set by overwriting) (step S103). Further, the ripple flag of the touch operation information is set to ON (in this example, “1” indicating that the ripple effect is executed) (step S104).

  Next, the control unit 11 monitors whether or not the position on the display screen that has been pressed by the pressing operation by the player P has changed, and whether or not the pressing operation on the display screen by the player P has ended (step S105). , S107).

  When it is determined that the pressing position by the pressing operation has been changed while monitoring (Y in step S105), the control unit 11 performs the touch operation stored in the touch operation information management table 12a with the changed pressing position. Set to the contact position of the information (for example, set by overwriting), and off if the ripple flag of the touch operation information stored in the touch operation information management table 12a is on (in this example, no ripple effect is executed) Is set to “0”) (step S106).

  If it is determined that the pressing operation has ended during monitoring (Y in step S107), the control unit 11 refers to the touch operation information management table 12a to check the state of the ripple flag (step S107). If the ripple flag is on (Y in step S108), the ripple effect is executed (step S109), and the process proceeds to step S110. If the ripple flag is off (N in step S108), the control unit 11 proceeds to step S110 without performing the ripple effect.

Here, the ripple effect will be described.
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, after accepting the pressing operation of the display screen with the finger P of the player P (see Y in step S101), the pressing position (contact position) by the pressing operation is not changed ( When it is detected that the contact state has ended (see N in step S105, Y in step S107), the control unit 11 sets the center point 51 of the pressed position and the center point as the center as shown in FIG. 6, for example. A ripple display including a circle 52 having a radius R is performed, and then, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the center point 51 is fixedly displayed for a predetermined time (eg, 1 second, 2 seconds, etc.) until the predetermined time elapses. The radius R of 52 is gradually increased, and finally, when the radius R of the circle 52 reaches a predetermined size as shown in FIG. By performing such a ripple effect, the center point 51 is emphasized by the circle 52 that is gradually enlarged, so that the center of the pressing position by the pressing operation indicated by the center point 51 (the video game processing apparatus 100 on the device side). The center of the pressed position received by the player P is accurately recognized by the player P.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, the case where the radius R of the circle 52 is gradually increased has been described. However, when it is detected that the pressed state (contact state) has ended, first, for example, FIG. The ripple display including the circle 52 having the size shown may be performed, and the radius R of the circle 52 may be gradually reduced. Even when such a ripple effect is performed, since the center point 51 is emphasized by the gradually reducing circle 52, the center of the pressing position by the pressing operation indicated by the center point 51 (video on the device side). The center of the pressed position received by the game processing apparatus 100) is accurately recognized by the player P.

  In step S110, the control unit 11 confirms the contact position of the touch operation information stored in the touch operation information management table 12a, and determines whether or not the contact position is the display position of the operation button. If the confirmed contact position is the display position of the operation button (Y in step S110), the control unit 11 performs a process corresponding to the operation button (for example, an object or character object selection process). Is executed (step S111).

  The user interface processing is executed as described above, and the pressing position (contact position) is not changed after the display screen is pressed (touched), such as an operation of tapping the display screen with a finger or a stylus (tap operation). When an operation that terminates the pressed state (contact state) is performed, a ripple effect for causing the player P to clearly recognize the pressed position is executed.

  In the above example, the center point of the pressed position is emphasized by a ripple effect imitating a ripple, but if you want to display an animation that expands or contracts around the center point of the pressed position, it is a circular figure For example, it may be a star shape, a finger shape, a polygonal shape, or a figure having another shape such as a mask shape of a specific object.

  As described above, in the above-described embodiment, the video game processing apparatus 100 that controls the progress of the video game as an application accepts pressing of the display screen 13A by the touch operation of the touch panel of the player P, and displays the display screen 13A. When the pressing position of the display screen 13A is detected, the pressing position that is the position on the pressed display screen 13A is detected. After the pressing of the display screen 13A is received, whether or not the pressing state of the display screen 13A has ended is determined. When the determination is made and it is determined that the pressed state has ended, the pressed center point (center point 51) indicating the center position of the detected pressed position is displayed for a predetermined time, and the pressed center point is displayed until the predetermined time elapses. A graphic effect (for example, ripple effect) that displays a variable graphic in which a predetermined graphic (for example, circle 52) gradually expands or contracts as a center. Since a configuration of row, in the operation on the application of game operation or the like so that it is possible to inform the touch position by touching a touch operation of the touch panel (pressing position) accurately.

  That is, when a touch operation such as a tap operation by a player's finger or stylus pen is performed (when the pressed state is released after the display screen is pressed. When the touch-off is performed after touch-on), the center position of the pressed position A depressing center point (center point 51) indicating a predetermined time is displayed, and a predetermined graphic (for example, a circle 52) is gradually enlarged or reduced about the depressing center point until the predetermined time elapses. Since the graphic effect to be displayed (for example, ripple effect) is executed, the center point of pressing can be emphasized by the graphic effect, and the touch position can be clearly indicated to the player. In particular, when a touch operation is performed with a finger, the target object may be hidden with your own finger, and it may be difficult to determine whether or not the target object can be pressed. Since it is configured to perform a graphic effect with the center point pressed later, the touch position (pressed position) can be recognized accurately, and the player assumed the pressed position on the actual touch panel. It becomes possible for the player to recognize the error from the pressed position. Therefore, even when a small target object in a narrow display screen is to be pressed, it is possible to easily press an appropriate position, and it is possible to reduce stress due to an erroneous operation. If a graphic effect corresponding to a touch operation is performed during loading or the like, it is possible to kill time during loading or the like.

  In the above-described embodiment, only when the video game processing apparatus 100 determines that the graphic effect is to be executed when it is determined that the pressed state has ended, and only when it is determined that the graphic effect is to be executed. Since the graphic effect is executed, the graphic effect can be performed only when necessary. Although not mentioned in the above-described embodiment, it may be configured such that the graphic effect is not executed in an area where an operation input is not accepted or a scene where attention is to be drawn on the application program. With this configuration, the player can recognize whether or not the operation input can be performed. For example, the player can appropriately recognize that the operation input is impossible. It is possible to reduce the upper stress.

  In the above-described embodiment, the video game processing apparatus 100 determines whether or not the pressed position has been changed after the pressing of the display screen is received and the pressed position is detected, and the pressed position has been changed. Since it is configured to execute the graphic effect only when it is determined that there is not, it is possible to notify the pressed position by the graphic effect according to a short time pressing operation (for example, a tap operation) in which the pressed position is not changed. It becomes like this. Therefore, even if there is an error between the pressing position of the player and the pressing reception position on the device side, the pressing position intended by the player can be easily pressed by repeating the tap operation.

  In the embodiment described above, as a graphic effect, the pressing center point (center point 51) indicating the center position of the detected pressing position is displayed for a predetermined time, and the pressing center point is displayed until the predetermined time elapses. Since a ripple effect representing a ripple is displayed by displaying a fluctuating figure in which a predetermined circle 52 gradually expands or contracts as the center, the pressing position that is the center point of the animation display imitating the ripple is easy Can be recognized. Note that the circles forming the ripples may be multiple circles.

  In the above-described embodiment, as a graphic effect, a pressing center point indicating the center position of the detected pressing position is displayed for a predetermined time, and a predetermined star is centered on the pressing center point until the predetermined time elapses. Even when it is configured to produce effects by displaying variable figures that gradually expand or contract, the pressing position that is the center point of the animation display where the star expands or contracts easily It can be recognized.

  In the above-described embodiment, the ripple effect is executed when the contact state is finished without changing the position after the finger touches the touch panel. 11 can recognize the contact position of the finger by repeatedly executing the ripple effect when it is detected that the finger has touched the touch panel for a specific time or longer and the moving distance of the contact position is equal to or less than the predetermined distance. A highlight display effect may be performed. In this case, it is possible to cause the player to recognize the center position of the finger on the display screen in contact with the touch panel without releasing the finger from the display screen by performing a ripple effect with a ripple display larger than the size of the finger. , Erroneous operations can be reduced.

  As described above, after the pressing of the display screen is accepted, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the specific time has passed without completing the pressing state of the display screen, and the pressing of the display screen is accepted. When the movement amount (for example, movement distance) of the depression position is detected after the depression position is detected, and it is determined that the specific time has elapsed, and the detected movement amount is less than the specific amount, The pressing center point indicating the center position of the pressed position on the display screen being pressed is displayed for a predetermined time, and a predetermined figure is gradually enlarged or reduced around the pressing center point until the predetermined time elapses. In the case of a configuration in which a graphic effect is displayed to display a moving graphic, it is possible to cause the player to recognize the center position of the finger on the display screen that has been touched without releasing the finger from the display screen. It is possible to reduce.

  In the above-described embodiment, the video game processing apparatus 100 has been described as an example. However, any device is applicable as long as it is a device that performs user interface processing using an input device such as a touch panel. be able to. Therefore, in the user interface process related to the operation of the object (user interface component) in the application other than the video game, the same process as that in each of the above-described embodiments can be performed.

  According to the present invention, it is useful for avoiding a limitation on the screen size and reducing a user's operation burden in an operation on an application such as a game operation in a small portable device or the like in which an operation button can be disposed. It is. It can also be applied to general console game machines.
