Dynamic Game Indicator Path and Displacement Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing music game systems lack variability in operation guidance, as the path and displacement direction of note bars are fixed, limiting the functionality of operation guidance beyond timing synchronization.
Innovation Solution
A game system and program that include an operation guiding device capable of changing the starting and reaching positions of a predetermined path, allowing for relative displacement between operation instructing and reference indicators, enhancing guidance variability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the path and displacement direction of the note bar are fixed, then the operation guidance is simple and easy to understand, but the game variety is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the path and displacement direction of the note bar changeable rather than fixed. The operation guidance dynamically adjusts its characteristics based on game conditions, allowing the same guidance mechanism to serve multiple functions and enhance game variety while maintaining ease of operation through consistent interaction patterns
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the path parameters (starting position, reaching position, displacement direction) of the operation guidance. These parameter changes enable the guidance to adapt to different game scenarios, transforming a static guidance system into a versatile tool that can enhance game variety without complicating the basic operation mechanism
2Loss of information
If the path of the operation indicator is fixed, then the guidance function is clear and straightforward, but additional functional capabilities are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the universality principle by designing the operation guidance system to perform multiple functions beyond basic timing guidance. By making the path and displacement characteristics changeable, the same guidance mechanism can provide directional information, speed cues, and contextual feedback, thereby reducing information loss and enhancing functional capability without sacrificing guidance clarity

AI summary
A game system guides operation timing of the operating section through a monitor by displaying an operation instructing indicator corresponding to the respective operation timings and an operation reference indicator corresponding to the current time in temporal order along a predetermined path on the game, and producing a relative displacement, which is along the predetermined path and is according to the progression of the time on the game, between the operation reference indicator and the operation instructing indicator in order that the operation instructing indicator agrees with the operation reference indicator at the operation timing that should be indicated by the operation instructing indicator, and changes at least either one of a starting position and a reaching position of the predetermined path.
