Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the game apparatus corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the touch panel display screen is divided into a plurality of input areas 36. These input areas 36 are input areas 36 corresponding to different tracks (instruments). For example, the input area 36a is a violin, the input area 36b is a contrabass, the input area 36c is a flute, and the input area 36d is a horn. It corresponds. In addition, an instruction sign display region 37 is provided in the upper center portion of the display screen. In the indication sign display area 37, indication signs 33 are sequentially displayed as the music is played.

For example, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the circular indicator mark 33 is initially displayed in a small dot-like state, and gradually increases with time. While the indication mark 33 is displayed in the largest size, the player makes a touch operation such as “tap” described later in a predetermined input area 36 of the touch panel (the touch operation refers to a finger, stylus or the like on a touch panel display screen. (Referred to as an operation for contact). In order to clarify the timing at which the player should input, the indicator mark is displayed in the largest size, and when the timing is to be input, the indicator mark 33 is displayed in a different color from the normal or It is also possible to display an animation in which the sign 33 is shining.

The indication mark 33 is displayed in the largest size, and after the timing to be input by the player has passed, the size of the indication mark 33 decreases with the passage of time, and the display is erased after being displayed in a dot shape. When the display of one indication mark 33 is completed, it is repeated that a new indication mark 33 is displayed while changing its size.

It can be determined from the color or pattern of the indication sign 33 as to which track the indication mark 33 displayed corresponds to. For example, when each of the input areas 36a to 36d is displayed with a different background color, the indicator corresponding to the indicator 33 is displayed by displaying the indicator 33 with a color corresponding to the background color. It is possible for the player to determine which is the one. For example, when the background color is blue in the input area 36a, the outer periphery of the indicator mark 33 is displayed in blue, which is the same color, so that the indicator mark 33 is a track corresponding to the violin in the input area 36a. Can be identified. In this case, the player needs to perform a “tap” operation in the input area 36a at a predetermined timing. If the “tap” operation is unsuccessful, the pitch and tempo of the music data of the track related to the violin are controlled, so the violin sound is uncomfortable.

Further, apart from the method of associating the indicator mark 33 with the background color of the input area 36, it is also possible to cause the player to determine the corresponding input area 36 by the pattern of the indicator mark 33. For example, by displaying a symbol of a violin, a contrabass, a flute, or a horn in the center of the circular indicator mark 33, the corresponding input area 36 and track can be specified.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the game device corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the touch panel display screen is divided into a plurality of regions as in the first embodiment. These areas are input areas corresponding to different tracks (instruments). For example, the input area 36a corresponds to a violin, the input area 36b corresponds to a contrabass, the input area 36c corresponds to a flute, and the input area 36d corresponds to a horn. Yes.

Further, a linear time axis 31 is provided above the center of the display screen from the left end to the right end of the display screen. On the left side of the center of the time axis 31, a reference line 32 indicating a reference position serving as a reference for determining an input operation when the indicator mark 33 passes is provided. The reference line 32 is displayed in a direction perpendicular to the time axis 31. The indication mark 33 is displayed on the display screen and indicates an operation to be input by the player via the touch panel, and the displayed shape or pattern differs depending on the operation requested from the player. . The shape and pattern of the indicator mark 33 can be set as appropriate, but it is usually preferable to use a shape or pattern that makes it easy to imagine the operation requested by the player.

The indication mark 33 is first displayed on the right end of the time axis 31 and moves to the left along each time axis 31 at a constant speed as time passes. A plurality of indicator signs 33 can be displayed on the time axis 31, and the indicator signs 33 having different patterns and shapes are employed depending on the manner of contact operation requested by the player. As to which track the displayed indication mark 33 corresponds to, it can be determined by the color or pattern of the indication mark 33 as in the first embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a method of displaying a corresponding input area 36 and a track by displaying a design of a violin, a contrabass, a flute, and a horn at the center of the circular indicator signs 33a to 33d is adopted. be able to. As another method, when each of the input areas 36a to 36d is displayed with a different background color, a method of displaying the instruction signs 33a to 33d with a color corresponding to the background color is adopted. It is also possible.

The indicator mark 33 moves from the right end to the left end along the time axis 31 at a predetermined speed and disappears when reaching the left end. When the indicator mark 33 reaches the reference line 32, input to the touch panel in the input area 36 corresponding to the indicator mark 33 is detected until all of the indicator mark 33 passes the reference line 32. The detected input operation is determined based on the reference value corresponding to the instruction mark 33, and the pitch, tempo, and the like of the music data of the track corresponding to the instruction mark 33 are controlled according to the determination result. . Therefore, when the indication mark 33 corresponding to the input area 36a has reached the reference line 32 and the contact operation is mistakenly performed in the input area 36b, it is determined that the operation to be input is not performed. become. In this case, the pitch, tempo, etc. of the violin track corresponding to the input area 36a are controlled.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the game device corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. In the third embodiment shown in FIG. 5, as in the second embodiment, a linear time axis 31 is provided, the indicator mark 33 moves on the time axis 31, and the indicator mark 33 While passing through the reference line 32, a predetermined contact operation is requested from the player. However, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of time axes 31a to 31d are provided.

Each time axis 31 corresponds to different music data (musical instrument performance data). For example, the time axis 31a corresponds to a violin, the time axis 31b corresponds to a contrabass, the time axis 31c corresponds to a flute, and the time axis 31d corresponds to a horn. To do. On the left side of the center of the time axes 31a to 31d, reference lines 32a to 32d indicating reference positions for determining the input operation when the indicator signs 33e to 33h pass are provided, respectively. The reference lines 32a to 32d are displayed in a direction perpendicular to the time axes 31a to 31d. In FIG. 5, four time axes 31 are provided, but the number of time axes 31 is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately designed according to the game concept, difficulty level, and the like.

The indication mark 33 is first displayed on the right end of any of the time axes 31a to 31d, and moves to the left along each time axis 31 at a constant speed as time elapses. A plurality of indicator signs 33e to 33h can be displayed on the time axis 31, and the indicator signs 33 having different patterns and shapes are employed depending on the manner of contact operation requested by the player. The player needs to perform an input operation on the touch panel when the indication mark 33 reaches the reference line 32. When the instruction mark 33 reaches the reference line 32, input to the touch panel by the player is detected until all of the instruction marks 33 pass the reference line 32. The detected input operation is determined based on the reference value corresponding to the instruction mark 33, and the performance data of the track corresponding to the instruction mark 33 is controlled according to the determination result. For example, since the indication mark 33e moves on the time axis 31a, the indication mark 33e corresponds to a violin track, and the pitch of the performance data of the violin is determined according to the determination result of the contact operation of the player. And the tempo will change. Similarly, since the instruction mark 33f moves on the time axis 31b, the instruction mark 33f corresponds to the track of the contrabass.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, in any of the first to third embodiments, a large number of characters 34 playing various musical instruments are displayed at the center of the display screen. Yes. The character 34 is in charge of, for example, stringed instruments such as violin, cello, and contrabass, woodwind instruments such as flute, oboe, and clarinet, brass instruments such as horn, trumpet, and trombone, and percussion instruments such as cymbals. A musical instrument played by the character 34 is played.

The display of these characters 34 also changes according to the music playback time. For example, in the case of a melody in which the performance of a violin is exciting, the action of the character 34 relating to the violin player can be increased or speeded up. Further, when the player succeeds in the input operation requested by the instruction mark 33, the animation of the character 34 related to the player of the musical instrument corresponding to the instruction mark 33 can be changed according to the failure. For example, when the player succeeds in the input operation requested by the instruction mark 33 corresponding to the violin, it is possible to display an animation that makes the character 34 who is a violin player happy. On the other hand, when the player fails in the input operation requested by the instruction mark 33 corresponding to the violin, it is possible to display an animation such that the face of the character 34 who is a violin player is pale or crying. When the player fails in the input operation requested by the instruction mark 33 in this manner, the performance data of the musical instrument corresponding to the instruction sign 33 becomes uncomfortable, and the animation display of the player in charge of the instrument is also pale. Since a crying animation is displayed, the player can strongly feel a sense of actually conducting an orchestra.

In the upper center portion of the display screen, the points 35 acquired by the player as the game progresses are displayed. When the player succeeds in the input operation requested by the instruction mark 33, the game is added to the point 35, and the player can compete for the height of the point when the performance (playback) of the music is completed.

When the player has failed in the input operation requested by the instruction mark 33, the point 35 does not have to be changed in particular, or the point 35 can be subtracted. When the requested input operation fails by the player, the performance data of the track corresponding to the instruction sign is controlled and output. For example, the pitch (pitch), tempo, formant, etc. are changed and output for performance data in MIDI format.

Depending on the difference between the reference value corresponding to the instruction mark 33 and the analysis result of the player's input operation, it is determined which one of the pitch, the tempo, etc. is changed and how much the change is made. When controlling the three elements of pitch, tempo, and formant of performance data, the pitch changes even if the tempo is changed, or the playback speed and formant of the music change even if the pitch is changed. It is also possible to change the tempo while maintaining the pitch of the music data, or to change the pitch while maintaining the playback speed and formant.

It is possible to reproduce the performance of the orchestra by simultaneously playing the performance data of different instruments on multiple tracks. However, the portion where the performance data has been changed is compared to the original performance. It feels uncomfortable, such as losing or tempo shifting. Therefore, the orchestra performance that is reproduced by playing the music also has a sense of incongruity.

Next, the details of the instruction mark 33 will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of an instruction sign displayed on the display screen of the game device, corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 6A shows a “tap” indicator 33, which is composed of only a circular mark 33a formed of a double circle. “Tap” represents the most basic operation, and it is required to perform a touch operation on the touch panel after the indicator mark 33 reaches the reference line 32 on the time axis 31 and finishes passing. .

FIG. 6B shows a “Splash Tap” indicator mark 33, which is provided with a circular mark 33b composed of a double circle and a direction display portion 33c. The direction display portion 33c is provided so as to be in contact with a circle outside the circular mark 33b, and forms an acute angle in a direction opposite to the center of the circle. The direction of the “splash tap” is specified by the direction indicated by the acute angle. That is, the “splash tap” jumps up from a state in which a finger or a touch pen (hereinafter also referred to as a finger) is in contact with the touch panel to a state in which the finger is not in contact with the touch panel while moving in a predetermined direction. The predetermined direction is specified by the direction indicated by the acute angle of the direction display unit 33c.

The direction display section 33c can indicate any one of eight directions including an upward direction, a downward direction, a left direction, and a right direction, and an upper right direction, an upper left direction, a lower right direction, and a lower left direction. For example, by changing the direction of the “tap” required by the player according to the rhythm, tempo, and sound intensity of the music, the player can play the game while feeling like an orchestra conductor. Is possible.

FIG. 6 (c) shows an indication mark 33 of “long press splash tap”, which is provided with circular marks 33d and 33e made of double circles and a direction display portion 33f. The circular mark 33d and the circular mark 33e are connected by a connecting portion 33g displayed by two straight lines. The circular mark 33d displayed on the left side indicates the timing when the player touches the touch panel with a finger or the like, and the circular mark 33e indicates the timing when the player jumps up from the touch panel to a state where the player does not touch with the finger or the like. It is shown. In other words, when the circular mark 33d reaches the reference line 32, it touches the touch panel and continues for a while (after long pressing), and then when the circular mark 33e reaches the reference line 32, a predetermined direction is reached. It is required to flip up your fingers.

Also, the direction display portion 33f is provided so as to be in contact with the outer circle of the circular mark 33e, and forms an acute angle in the opposite direction to the center of the circle, as in the case of “splash tap”. The direction of the “long press splash tap” is specified by the direction indicated by the acute angle. That is, the moving direction when jumping up to a state where it is not in contact with the touch panel is specified by the direction indicated by the direction display unit 33f.

FIG. 6D shows a “fluctuation” indicator mark 33, and circular marks 33h and 33i made of double circles are displayed by two curves swelled on the lower side of the display screen. It is connected by. The circular mark 33h displayed on the left side indicates the timing when the player touches the touch panel with a finger or the like, and the circular mark 33i indicates the timing when the player releases the finger or the like from the touch panel. That is, “fluctuation” is an operation of moving a finger or a touch pen while touching the touch panel while drawing an arc from left to right, and touches the touch panel when the circular mark 33h reaches the reference line 32. Then, after the contact position is moved from left to right, when the circular mark 33i reaches the reference line 32, it is required to release the finger or the like from the touch panel.

FIG. 6E shows a “pinch-in” indicator mark 33, in which circular marks 33k and 33n made of double circles are connected by a connecting portion 33q displayed by two straight lines inclined downward to the right. ing. Similarly, the circular marks 33m and 33p are connected by a connecting portion 33r displayed by two straight lines inclined upward. The circular marks 33n and 33p located at the right ends of the connecting portions 33q and 33r are in contact with each other side by side. The distance between the circular marks 33k and 33m represents the distance between the two fingers touching the touch panel at the time when the player starts “pinch-in”, and the distance between the circular marks 33n and 33p is This represents the distance of the contact position of the finger when the player finishes “pinch-in”. And the space | interval between the upper and lower sides of the connection parts 33q and 33r is so narrow that it becomes the right side, and it shows that the distance of the contact position of two fingers becomes short as time passes.

In other words, “pinch-in” is an operation of reducing the distance between the contact positions in a state where two fingers are in contact with the touch panel. When the circular marks 33 k and 33 m reach the reference line 32, the “pinch-in” is performed. Move the finger so that the distance between the touched positions is shortened so that the finger is in contact with the touch panel at a predetermined interval and the object between the fingers is pinched as time passes. Furthermore, when the circular marks 33n and 33p reach the reference line 32, it is required that the two fingers are in contact with the touch panel at a close position.

FIG. 6 (f) shows a “pinch out” indicator mark 33 in which circular marks 33 s and 33 u made of double circles are connected by a connecting portion 33 w displayed by two straight lines inclined upward to the right. Has been. Similarly, the circular marks 33t and 33v are connected by a connecting portion 33x displayed by two straight lines inclined downward to the right. The circular marks 33s and 33t located at the left ends of the connecting portions 33w and 33x are in contact with each other in the vertical direction. The distance between the circular marks 33s and 33t represents the distance between the two fingers touching the touch panel and the contact position of the fingers when the player starts “pinch out”, and the distance between the circular marks 33u and 33v is This represents the distance of the contact position of the finger when the player finishes “pinch out”. And the space | interval between the upper and lower sides of the connection parts 33w and 33x becomes so wide that it becomes the right side, and it shows that the distance of the contact position of two fingers becomes long as time passes.

That is, “pinch out” is an operation of increasing the distance between the contact positions in a state where two fingers are in contact with the touch panel, and when the circular marks 33 s and 33 t reach the reference line 32. Two fingers are brought into contact with the touch panel at a position close to each other, and with the passage of time, the distance between the fingers is increased so that the distance between the contact positions becomes longer. When 33v reaches the reference line 32, it is required that the two fingers are in contact with the touch panel at positions separated by a predetermined interval.

FIG. 6 (g) shows a “tap” indicator mark 33 and is composed of a circular mark 33y. As described above, the symbol (y) of the instrument corresponding to the indicator mark 33 in the center of the circular mark 33y (see FIG. Here, the design of the violin) can be displayed.

Next, the instruction sign management table according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an instruction sign management table corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. The instruction sign management table 40 is set in the RAM 12, and specifies which instruction sign 33 is displayed from a plurality of instruction signs 33 and a player is requested to perform a predetermined input operation during music reproduction. .

The instruction sign management table 40 stores a type 42 of the instruction sign 33 and a musical instrument 43 corresponding to the instruction sign 33 in association with the display start time 41. The sign start time 41 corresponds to the elapsed time from the start of the reproduction of the music, and indicates the time at which the display on the display screen of the indicator mark 33 specified by the type 42 is started. is there. Therefore, when the time specified by the display start time 41 has elapsed since the reproduction of the music has started, the corresponding indicator mark 33 is displayed on the display screen. In the case of the first embodiment and the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the indicator mark 33 specified by the type 42 and having the symbol of the musical instrument 43, or The indicator mark 33 having the same color as the background color of the input area 36 corresponding to the musical instrument 43 is displayed. On the other hand, in the case of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the indicator mark 33 specified by the type 42 is displayed on the time axis 31 corresponding to the musical instrument 43. The instruction sign management table 40 is provided for each piece of music, and a different instruction sign management table 40 is used for each piece of music to be played.

Next, the indicator label reference value table according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an indicator label reference value table corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. The indication marker reference value table 50 is set in the RAM 12 and specifies a reference value for determining an input operation of the player, which is determined for each type of the indication indicator 33.

In the indicator sign reference value table 50, a reference value 52 is stored for each indicator sign type 51 (corresponding to the type 42). The input operation input by the player is analyzed, and the suitability is determined according to this reference value 52. For example, if the analysis result of the input operation input from the player is within a range of −10 to + 10% of the reference value 52, the operation is appropriate. Can be determined as having been made appropriately.

In the case of “Splash Tap”, as the reference value 52, a direction vector indicating the moving direction of the finger or the like and the amount of movement in the operation of flipping the finger or the like are set. When an input operation is performed by the player, the direction vector and the amount of movement of the player's finger or the like are analyzed from the result of the player's input operation, and the direction vector of the reference value 52 is compared with the amount of movement. Suitability is determined. In the case of “long press splash tap”, as the reference value 52, the contact time in the long press operation, the direction vector indicating the movement direction of the finger or the like in the operation of flipping the finger or the like, and the movement amount thereof are set. . In the case of “fluctuation”, the movement amount of the finger or the like in the operation of moving the finger or the like to the left or right is set as the reference value 52. In the case of “pinch-in” and “pinch-out”, as the reference value 52, the distance between the two contact positions at the start and the end of the operation, and the amount of movement of the contact position are set.

Next, the music data changing process according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a flowchart of music data change processing corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. First, timing is started with the start of reproduction of the music, and display of the instruction mark 33 is started according to the instruction mark management table 40 (step S1). As time passes, the instruction mark 33 is enlarged and displayed (step S2).

When a predetermined time elapses from the start of display of the instruction mark 33, the input operation from the player is detected by the touch input detection unit 17 when the detection start time for starting the detection of the input operation by the player is reached (step S3). (Step S4). Further, when a predetermined time elapses, it becomes a detection end time for ending the detection for the input operation of the player (step S5).

If it is determined that the input operation (tap operation) in the input area 36 defined for the musical instrument 43 corresponding to the instruction mark 33 is performed in step S4 (YES in step S6), points are added (step S7). And the reproduction | regeneration of a music is continued, without a change being added especially to a music.

If it is determined that the input operation (tap operation) in the input area 36 defined for the musical instrument 43 corresponding to the instruction mark 33 has not been performed in step S4 (NO in step S6), the music change information is specified ( Step S8). If the tap operation is not performed properly, it is determined in advance how much the pitch, tempo, and the like are changed. When the change information of the music is specified in step S8, the pitch, tempo, and the like of the performance data of the musical instrument 43 corresponding to the instruction mark 33 are controlled in accordance with the specified change information (step S9), etc. The music is played with the performance data.

Further, when it is determined in step S6 that an appropriate operation has not been performed, in parallel with the steps of steps S8 and S9, the character playing the instrument 43 corresponding to the indicator mark 33 that has been determined. It is also possible to display 34 animations (for example, animations such as the face being pale or crying).

When the control of the pitch, tempo, etc. of the performance data is completed, the performance data is reproduced as usual. These steps S1 to S9 are continuously performed from the start of music reproduction until the end.

When the player cannot perform the tap operation at a predetermined timing, the performance data is reproduced by controlling the volume of the track corresponding to the instruction mark 33, instead of controlling the pitch or tempo of the performance data. It is also possible. In this case, in step S9, the volume of the performance data can be controlled to be larger or smaller than the reference volume. The change in the output volume is performed, for example, by controlling an amplifier.

Next, the music data changing process according to the second embodiment and the third embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a flowchart of music data change processing corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. First, timing is started as the music starts to be reproduced, and the instruction mark 33 is displayed according to the instruction mark management table 40 (step S11). As time passes, the indicator 33 is moved and displayed on the time axis 31 from the right to the left (step S12).

When the indication mark 33 moves on the time axis 31 and reaches the reference line 32 (step S13), an input to the touch panel from the player is detected by the touch input detection unit 17 (step S14). Then, when the indicator mark 33 passes the reference line 32 (step S15), the input operation detected in step S14 is analyzed (step S16). The time from when the indication mark 33 reaches the reference line 32 to when it passes is the determination time for determining the input operation of the player, and the input operation performed within this determination time is the object of analysis. Therefore, the determination time is specified according to the size and shape of the indicator mark 33. By analyzing the input operation in step S16, the contact time of the finger or the like on the touch panel, the movement amount of the contact position between the finger or the like and the touch panel, the moving direction thereof, and the like are specified. In the case of the second embodiment, only the input operation in the input area 36 determined for the musical instrument 43 corresponding to the instruction mark 33 is the object of analysis. In the case of the third embodiment, the touch panel is used. If it is input operation performed above, it becomes an object of analysis irrespective of the area | region where especially a finger | toe etc. contact a touch panel.

When the input operation is analyzed in step S16, the player's input operation is analyzed based on the reference value 52 corresponding to the instruction mark 33 to be determined with reference to the instruction mark reference value table 50. Whether the result is appropriate is determined (step S17). If the contact time, movement amount, and movement direction specified by the analysis result are within a predetermined range with respect to the reference value 52, it is determined that an appropriate operation has been performed. On the other hand, if it is outside the predetermined range with respect to the reference value 52, it is determined that an appropriate operation has not been performed. If the indication mark 33 corresponds to “tap”, the “tap” has no concept of the reference value 52, and therefore, the input is made before the indication mark 33 reaches the reference line 32 and passes. Only whether or not an operation has been performed is an object of determination.

If it is determined that an appropriate operation has been made as a result of the determination (YES in step S17), points are added according to the determination (step S18). And the reproduction | regeneration of a music is continued, without a change being added especially to a music.

As a result of the determination, if it is determined that an appropriate operation has not been performed (NO in step S17), based on the analysis result in step S16 and the reference value 52 corresponding to the indicator mark 33 being determined. The change information of the music is specified (step S19). Even if it is determined in step S17 that an appropriate operation has not been performed, it is possible to subtract points before executing step S19.

When the change information of the music is specified in step S19, the pitch, tempo, etc. of the performance data of the musical instrument 43 corresponding to the instruction mark 33 among the plurality of performance data are controlled according to the specified change information. However (step S20), the music is reproduced together with other performance data.

If it is determined in step S17 that an appropriate operation has not been performed, the character playing the instrument 43 corresponding to the indicator mark 33 that is the object of determination in parallel with the steps of steps S19 and S20. It is also possible to display 34 animations (for example, animations such as the face being pale or crying).

When the control of the pitch, tempo, etc. of the performance data is completed, the performance data is reproduced as usual. These steps S11 to S20 are continuously performed from the start of music reproduction until the end.

By the way, although the change information of the music is specified in step S19, the correspondence relationship between the difference in the analysis result with respect to the reference value and the amount of change in pitch, tempo, etc. is determined in advance for each indicator mark 33. For example, the pitch changes when there is a difference in the direction vector of the splash tap, and the tempo changes when there is a difference in the amount of movement of the splash tap. The correspondence relationship is determined not only for the splash tap but also for the long press splash tap and fluctuation.

Also, not only the pitch / tempo but also the volume can be changed. When the player has failed in the input operation corresponding to the instruction mark 33, the volume may be temporarily increased or decreased from the reference volume.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the correspondence between the difference in the analysis result with respect to the reference value and the change in pitch and tempo, corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. In step S19, based on the proportion of the analysis result of the player's input operation with respect to the reference value 52, the change of the music based on the predetermined correspondence as shown in FIG. Information is identified. Note that the same correspondence is determined in advance for the instruction markers 33 other than the splash tap.

For example, when the analysis result on the movement amount of the contact position of the finger is within the range of −10 to + 10% of the reference value 52, when it is set as an appropriate operation, as shown in FIG. When the analysis result of the movement amount is less than −10% of the reference value 52 and −20% or more, the pitch is lowered by a semitone from the reference sound stored in the music data (hereinafter referred to as the reference sound) to the low tone side, When the analysis result of the movement amount is less than −20% of the reference value 52, the pitch is lowered by one note from the reference sound to the low sound side. That is, when the analysis result is less than −10% of the reference value 52 and −20% or more, the sound of “do” becomes a sound of “shi”, and when the analysis result is less than −20% of the reference value 52, The sound of “do” becomes the sound of “La #”. Conversely, when the analysis result is greater than 10% of the reference value 52 and less than or equal to 20%, the pitch is raised from the reference sound by a semitone, and when the analysis result is greater than 20% of the reference value 52, the pitch is increased. For example, one sound is raised from the reference sound to the high sound side. As for the movement direction of the position of the finger of the player, as shown in FIG. 11, the amount of change in the music data is determined based on the inner product of the reference value for the direction vector and the direction vector in the actual input operation. be able to.

Of the music data, only one sound that is output almost simultaneously with the timing when the indicator mark 33 passes the reference position 32 may be the target of changing the pitch, tempo, etc. One phrase or several seconds from the sound that is output almost simultaneously with the timing may be the target of changing the pitch, tempo, and the like. These settings can be designed as appropriate according to the game concept and difficulty level.

As a technique for controlling the pitch, tempo, and formant of music data in real time, a known technique can be used. Normally, changing the tempo may change the pitch, or changing the pitch may change the playback speed and formant of the song. By controlling these three elements at the same time, It is possible to change the pitch while maintaining the high, changing the tempo, and maintaining the playback speed and formant of the music.

In the above embodiment, the case where the input operation is mainly performed on the touch panel display device has been described. However, as another embodiment, a game device having an input device including an acceleration sensor and a gyro sensor is provided. It is also possible to implement the present invention. First, timing is started as the music starts to be played, and the instruction mark 33 is displayed on the display screen according to the instruction mark management table 40. As time elapses, when the predetermined timing at which a predetermined operation requested by the indicator mark 33 is to be input (for example, when the indicator mark 33 reaches the reference line 32 on the time axis 31), the acceleration provided in the input device The sensor and the gyro sensor detect the magnitude of acceleration and the magnitude of angular velocity associated with the movement of the input device. Based on the detected acceleration magnitude and angular velocity magnitude, the movement distance and movement direction of the input device are analyzed.

When the movement operation is analyzed, the appropriateness of the analysis result is determined on the basis of the reference value 52 corresponding to the instruction mark 33 to be determined with reference to the instruction mark reference value table 50. If the movement time, movement amount, and movement direction specified by the analysis result are within a predetermined range with respect to the reference value 52, it is determined that an appropriate operation has been performed. On the other hand, if it is outside the predetermined range with respect to the reference value 52, it is determined that an appropriate operation has not been performed. Next, according to the determination, the pitch, tempo, and the like of the performance data corresponding to the instruction mark 33 are controlled.

In the above embodiment, the case where a smartphone is mainly used as the game apparatus has been described, but the present invention can also be applied to a so-called cloud game. In a cloud game, generally, operation information input by a player on a client device is transmitted to the server device, and the server device performs a game progress process according to the operation information, and further displays the operation information on the client device. Game image data is generated by the server device, and the generated game image data is transmitted to the client device. Game images and audio are distributed to the client device by streaming.

The server device 70 receives the operation information input by the client device 60 and analyzes the input operation based on the received operation information. In the display device of the client device, the time from when the indication mark 33 reaches the reference line 32 until it passes through is the determination time for determining the input operation of the player, and the input operation performed within this determination time is It becomes the object of analysis.

When the input operation is analyzed in the server device 70, the input operation of the player is performed based on the reference value 52 corresponding to the instruction mark 33 to be determined with reference to the instruction mark reference value table 50. The suitability of the analysis result is determined. If the contact time, movement amount, and movement direction specified by the analysis result are within a predetermined range with respect to the reference value 52, it is determined that an appropriate operation has been performed. On the other hand, if it is outside the predetermined range with respect to the reference value 52, it is determined that an appropriate operation has not been performed.

As a result of the determination, if it is determined that an appropriate operation has been performed, game image data corresponding to the determination result is generated, and the game image data and the music data are transmitted from the server device 70 to the client device 60 while being synchronized. If it is determined that an appropriate operation has not been performed as a result of the determination, the music data of the musical instrument corresponding to the instruction mark 33 is controlled, and game image data corresponding to the determination result is generated.
