FIG. 11 shows the configuration of another example of a game system for explaining the embodiment of the present invention.

The amusement system 101 shown in FIG. 11 captures an image of the player P, synthesizes the player image obtained by the imaging with a performance image, displays the image, and outputs a performance sound to make the player completely become a performance character. It provides the player P with "play". A smartphone 2 is used for imaging, image display, and audio output, as in the amusement system 1 described above. In the following description, FIG. 2 will be referred to as needed for the constituent elements of the smartphone 2 .

The amusement system 101 is configured to change the presentation of the "play as a character" by image display and voice output according to the goods G possessed by the player P, which are goods related to the production character. .

Specifically, the goods G are given identification information for each type, and the smartphone 2 acquires the identification information of the goods G. FIG. In the storage unit 15 of the smartphone 2, goods-related effect data provided for each goods is stored in association with the identification information of the goods. The control unit 18 of the smartphone 2 executes the effect processing based on the goods-related effect data corresponding to the acquired identification information, and according to the goods G possessed by the player P, the "play as a character" by image display or audio output is performed. ” changes the production.

The exchange of identification information between the goods G and the smartphone 2 can be performed using, for example, sound or light. In giving and receiving identification information through voice, voice output from the goods G can be collected by the microphone 21 of the smartphone 2, and the identification information contained in the voice can be obtained by voice recognition. Further, in the transmission and reception of identification information via light, the light emission of the goods G can be imaged by the imaging unit 13 of the smartphone 2, and the identification information included in the light emission pattern can be obtained by pattern matching.

Also, the exchange of identification information between the goods G and the smartphone 2 can be performed using infrared communication, Bluetooth (registered trademark), or other wireless communication between devices. In general, the external input/output unit 16 of the smartphone 2 is provided with a transmission/reception unit for infrared communication, Bluetooth (registered trademark), or the like. The identification information transmitted from the goods G may be received by the receiving unit that does. Also, in the transmission and reception of identification information by wireless communication between other devices, the identification information transmitted from the goods G may be received by connecting the corresponding receiving unit to the external input/output unit 16 .

It is preferable that the identification information is exchanged between the goods G and the smartphone 2 without the player P being conscious of it. From this point of view, a toy is suitable as the goods G. For example, in the case of a toy that outputs sound or emits light as an effect in response to an operation, the sound or light is used to play the game. The identification information can be exchanged without making the player P aware of it.

In this example, it is assumed that the identification information is exchanged between the goods G and the smartphone 2 via voice, and the voice including the identification information output from the goods G is acquired by the microphone 21 of the smartphone 2. described as what to do.

FIG. 12 shows a flow of an example of “play as a play” provided by the game system 101. As shown in FIG.

In the example shown in FIG. 12, in addition to the effects for each goods G, default effects unrelated to the goods G are also prepared, so that even when the player P does not possess the goods G, the player P can play as a character. is configured as

First, under the control of the control unit 18, the sound input/output unit 12 acquires sound output from the goods G possessed by the player P using the microphone 21 (step SS1). Then, the control unit 18 detects identification information included in the acquired voice (step SS2).

When the identification information is not detected because the player P does not have the goods G, the image capturing unit 13 captures an image of the player P under the control of the control unit 18, and the display unit 14 is obtained by capturing the image. The player image is displayed on the display panel 23 in real time (step SS3).

The control unit 18 sequentially recognizes the player's motion based on the player image (step SS4), and determines whether the recognized player's motion matches the predetermined motion (step SS5). Then, when the control unit 18 detects a player action that matches the predetermined action, the control unit 18 executes the effect processing based on the default effect data stored in the storage unit 15 (step SS6). As the effect processing, the above-described transformation effect processing and deathblow effect processing can be applied.

On the other hand, when the identification information of the goods G is detected, the control section 18 reads the performance data stored in the storage section 15 in association with the detected identification information (step SS7).

Then, under the control of the control unit 18, the imaging unit 13 images the player P, and the display unit 14 displays the player image obtained by the imaging on the display panel 23 in real time (step SS8).

The control unit 18 sequentially recognizes the player's motion based on the player image (step SS9), and determines whether the recognized player's motion matches the predetermined motion (step SS10). The predetermined action may be a common action regardless of the goods G, or may be a different action for each goods G. Interestingness can be enhanced by making the predetermined action different for each goods G.

Then, when the control unit 18 detects a player action that matches the predetermined action, the control unit 18 executes an effect process based on the goods-related effect data read out from the storage unit 15 (step SS11). As the effect processing, the above-described transformation effect processing and deathblow effect processing can be applied.

In this way, by changing the effect processing according to the goods G, for example, in the case of "playing around" in which the player transforms into a production character, a plurality of production characters or a plurality of costumes can be used, and the special move of the production character can be performed. In the "Narikiri Asobi" that is played out, various effects are possible using multiple special moves. As a result, the amusement of the game can be enhanced.

Also in this example, it is possible to combine a plurality of rendering processes. For example, assuming that the goods-related effect data of the goods G is an additional costume image of the effect character, such as a weapon costume, the player image (composite image) on which the character image or the costume image is superimposed follows the player's motion in the transformation effect process. During the follow-up process, the identification information of the goods G is detected and the player's actions are recognized. When a predetermined action is detected, an additional costume image is displayed as a performance process corresponding to the goods G. It may be added to the synthesized image.

Furthermore, when combining a plurality of performance processes, it is possible to change the performance process executed according to the goods G in relation to the performance process being executed (or the immediately preceding performance process). In this case, as the goods-related production data for each product, in addition to single goods-related production data that is not combined with other production data, multiple goods-related production data that are combined with other production data (combined goods-related production data) is prepared. Then, when the identification information of the goods G is detected during the period in which the follow-up process for following the player's action is being performed in the currently executed effect process (or the immediately preceding effect process), the effect process is executed. The effect processing corresponding to the goods G is executed based on the goods-related effect data (combined goods-related effect data) corresponding to the combination with the effect data of the existing effect processing (or immediately preceding effect processing). Note that, when the identification information of the goods G is detected after the immediately preceding effect processing is once finished, the effect processing is executed based on the single goods-related effect data. In this way, by changing the effect processing executed according to the goods G in relation to the effect processing being executed (or the effect processing immediately before), more diverse effects are possible, and the entertainment as play becomes possible. can enhance sexuality. In that case, the amusement system comprises an imaging unit that captures an image of the player and acquires the player image, a storage unit that stores performance data including a performance image that makes the player look like a performance character, and a display unit that displays the image. and a control unit, wherein the control unit recognizes a player action based on the player image, reads out the performance data from the storage unit when a player action matching a predetermined action is detected, and reads the performance data. effect processing is executed based on the effect data obtained, and the effect processing includes combining processing for synthesizing the effect image with the player image and displaying the result on the display unit; It includes a follow-up process for causing the character to follow and display it on the display unit, further comprising an acquisition unit for acquiring identification information of goods of the production character possessed by the player, wherein the production data is provided for each of the goods, and includes goods-related effect data stored in the storage unit in association with the identification information of the goods, and the storage unit stores the goods-related effect data as the goods-related effect data when the acquisition unit acquires the identification information of the goods, Effect data related to single goods read by the control unit irrespective of the combination of the acquired identification information and effect data for which effect processing is being executed when the identification information is acquired, and the acquired identification information and production data for which production processing is being executed when the identification information is acquired is a predetermined combination, and stores combination goods-related production data that is read by the control unit, and the control unit stores determining whether or not a performance process is being executed when the identification information of the goods is acquired by the acquisition unit; The performance data related to the single goods is read from the storage unit, performance processing is executed based on the performance data related to the single goods read out, it is determined that the performance processing is being executed, and the acquired identification information. and the effect data for which the effect processing is being executed matches the predetermined combination, the combination goods-related effect data associated with the acquired identification information is read from the storage unit, and the read plural It may be configured as a game system that executes the production process based on the goods-related production data. Further, the performance processing based on the goods-related performance data may be executed when a player motion matching a predetermined motion corresponding to the goods identification information acquired by the acquisition unit is detected. Further, the present game method includes an image capturing step of capturing an image of the player to obtain a player image, and a player motion is recognized based on the player image, and when a player motion matching a predetermined motion is detected, the player is represented by an effect character. and a performance step of executing performance processing based on performance data including a performance image that makes the player look like the player. A follow-up process is included in which the generated image is displayed following the player's action, and the effect data includes goods-related effect data provided for each product of the effect character. an acquiring step of acquiring identification information of the goods of the production character possessed, wherein the goods-related effect data is obtained by combining the acquired identification information and the identification when the identification information of the goods is acquired in the acquiring step; Production data for which production processing is being executed when the information is acquired, production data related to single goods that is used regardless of the combination, the acquired identification information, and production processing when the identification information is acquired. The combination goods-related effect data used when the combination with the effect data being executed is a predetermined combination, and the effect step executes effect processing when the identification information of the goods is acquired by the acquisition step. a performance processing determination step for determining whether or not the performance processing is performed, and when it is determined that the performance processing is not executed in the performance processing determination step, the performance data related to the single goods associated with the acquired identification information and furthermore, when it is determined in the effect processing determining step that the effect processing is being executed, the combination of the acquired identification information and the effect data for which the effect processing is being executed is the predetermined combination. and performing production processing based on the plurality of goods-related production data associated with the acquired identification information when it is determined in the combination judgment step that the combination matches the predetermined combination. It may be a game method to be executed. At this time, the execution of the effect processing based on the goods-related effect data in the effect step is executed when the player motion matching the predetermined motion corresponding to the goods identification information acquired in the acquisition step is detected. good too. Also, the present program may be a program that causes a computer to execute each step of the game method.

As a further modified example, the goods-related effect data provided for each product may include only combined goods-related effect data without individual goods-related effect data. Also, a plurality of combination goods-related effect data may be prepared for each goods. That is, when the identification information of a certain goods is acquired as the combined goods-related effect data, the effect data for which the effect processing is being executed is the first predetermined combination of the acquired identification information a. First combination goods-related effect data read out when they match the effect data, and second combination goods read out when the acquired identification information matches second effect data that is a second predetermined combination. Related performance data may be included. In this case, even if the player owns only one kind of goods, he or she can enjoy a plurality of effects according to the effect data of the effect process being executed. For example, even if you only have one type of transforming item as goods, the effect data that is being executed when you acquire the identification information of that transforming item will transform into hero A1 and you can play as hero A1 (first effect data), the effect processing is executed based on the effect data (first combination-related effect data) that allows the player to transform into and play as hero A2, and the effect data being executed is different from that of hero A1. In the case of production data (second production data) that allows transformation into hero B1 and play as hero, based on production data (second combination-related production data) that enables transformation and play as hero B2 different from hero A2. A performance process can be executed, and a plurality of performances can be enjoyed with one type of transforming item.
