Game Direction Input Determination Using Dynamic Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional games that require direction inputs based on controller movement often lead to erroneous determinations due to temporary deviations from the indicated movement manner, resulting in incorrect input recognition.
Innovation Solution
A game system and method that adjusts determination conditions based on correct direction inputs, using inertial sensors and projection vectors to accurately determine direction inputs by enlarging determination areas for correct answers and requiring definitive tilts or magnitudes, thereby reducing erroneous determinations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the determination condition for direction input is fixed with strict boundaries, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates because temporary deviations during controller movement are incorrectly判定 as wrong answers
Solution Approach 1:
The determination condition is made dynamic by adjusting the determination area based on the correct answer direction. When the controller moves toward the correct direction, the determination area is expanded to accommodate natural movement variations, while maintaining strict boundaries for incorrect directions. This resolves the contradiction by making the system adaptive rather than fixed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of determination area size based on the relationship between input direction and correct answer. By dynamically adjusting this parameter, the system achieves both precision for correct answers and flexibility for natural movement, resolving the trade-off between measurement precision and ease of operation.
2Reliability
If the determination area for correct direction is enlarged to reduce erroneous determination, then reliability is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates because ambiguous directions become harder to distinguish
Solution Approach 1:
The determination area is selectively expanded only in the direction of the correct answer, while maintaining strict boundaries for other directions. This local adjustment allows the system to be more tolerant of variations in correct inputs without becoming ambiguous about incorrect directions, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and measurement precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically changes the determination area parameter based on the correct answer direction. By adjusting this parameter selectively for the correct direction rather than uniformly for all directions, the system achieves both higher reliability for correct answers and maintained precision for direction discrimination.
3Measurement precision
If strict determination conditions are used to ensure accurate direction recognition, then measurement precision is improved, but productivity deteriorates due to increased occurrences of erroneous determination requiring reinput
Solution Approach 1:
The determination condition is made dynamic and adaptive rather than fixed. By adjusting the determination area based on the relationship between input and correct direction, the system reduces erroneous determinations while maintaining accuracy for intentional wrong inputs, thus improving game progression efficiency without sacrificing direction recognition accuracy.

AI summary
In the exemplary embodiment, a computer is caused to: perform question presentation processing of designating a correct direction for each question by display; specify an input direction on the basis of the operation data transmitted from an operation device; perform correct answer determination for whether the input direction is the designated correct direction or a direction other than the designated correct direction on the basis of a predetermined determination condition; in performing the correct answer determination, change the determination condition in accordance with the correct direction so that the specified input direction becomes likely to be determined to be the correct answer; and progress a game on the basis of a result of the correct answer determination.
