Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the above-mentioned increase in the variety and number of images and the complication of sounds from the speakers are not always a joy for people who play games (hereinafter referred to as "game players").
In some cases, gamers feel that the various graphics and sounds are very obstructive during the game

specific example 1

[0133] Fig. 10 is a top view of a racing game screen. In this figure, houses (squares) and trees (circles) are distributed on both sides of the road 201 . Numerical values ​​in squares and circles represent the importance of each goal, respectively. These values ​​are set by the game developer.

[0134] And what Fig. 11 shows is each target after being processed according to the steps shown in Fig. 5 when game player issues the instruction of image restriction. This figure shows that the numerical value obtained after converting the game player's instruction into the degree of importance is 75. That is, only those objects with an importance greater than 75 are displayed.

[0135]The above example specifically illustrates how to perform image display control according to instructions from the game player.

specific example 2

[0137] The screen shown in FIG. 12 is the same as that in FIG. 10 . Among them, the intersection of the two arrows represents the player's point of view. The numbers in the circles and squares are the relative distances from the player's viewpoint to the target.

[0138] Here, we assume that the instruction information generator 112 detects the occurrence of a specific state during the game process. In particular, it is assumed that the instruction information generator 112 determines that a specific state has occurred because the speed of the racing car driven by the game player has been lower than a predetermined speed. After performing display restriction according to the steps described above in FIG. 7 , the result is shown in FIG. 13 . During the step-by-step process, the object discriminator 113 determines the display of each object according to preset conditions for the occurrence of a specific state (low speed of the racing car). The above preset condition is that o...

specific example 3

[0140] Figure 14 is a view which combines Example 1 and Example 2. That is to say, what this figure shows is a situation in which image display is restricted based on instructions from the game player, and the image is also controlled based on the relationship between the player's operations and the progress of the game.

[0141] The figure only shows the states of those objects whose importance is higher than 75 and whose distance from the viewpoint is less than 1.8.

Abstract

An instruction information generator 112 generates first object instruction information for controlling an image displayed on a display device and / or first sound instruction information for controlling a sound outputted from a speaker in accordance with an analytical result sent from an input controller 111. The instruction information generator 112 generates second object instruction information and / or second sound instruction information indicative of occurrence of a specific state in accordance with the relationship between the game player's operation and the progress of the game. An object discriminator 113 performs restriction determination processing to each object in accordance with first or second object instruction information. A graphic controller performs graphic processing of the object in accordance with the determination result. A sound data discriminator 116 performs restriction determination processing to each sound element in accordance with first or second sound instruction information. A sound controller 117 performs synthesis of sound data in accordance with the determination result.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an entertainment device capable of generating information and outputting the generated information. The generated image information can be displayed through a display device, and the generated sound information can be output through a loudspeaker. Audio control system for entertainment equipment that controls the information generated according to predetermined conditions. Background technique [0002] To illustrate how such an entertainment device can generate and provide information representing images and sounds to multiple users, consider a video game console. Such a video game machine displays images on a predetermined display device using information stored in a designated storage medium as the game progresses, or outputs sound from a designated speaker according to the progress of the game. Therefore, in general, a fixed image is displayed and a fixed sound is output according to the progress of the game. [00...
