Method, apparatus and recording medium for game using touch input

The apparatus of claim

• wherein the judgment unit judges
• if the recognition of the touch input is started at a time when the head reaches the judgment area indication and if the recognized touch input is maintained until the entire of the tail reaches the judgment area indication, thereby judging at least one of an accuracy, success, or failure of the touch input of the note, and
• wherein the judgment unit further judges
• if a position of the recognized touch input changes according to a showing of the track area change point when the track area change point reaches the judgment area indication, the track area change point in the tail being shown over at least two track areas, while maintaining a state of the recognized touch input, thereby judging at least one of an accuracy, success, or failure of the touch input of the note.

A game method of a game apparatus, the method comprising:

• controlling a division of a game screen displayed on a touch screen into multiple track areas, a showing of a judgment area indication on the game screen, and a showing of a note while moving toward the judgment area indication, wherein the note includes a head and a tail, wherein the tail is connected to the head in a predetermined length, and wherein the tail includes at least one track area change point;
• recognizing a touch input through the touch screen;
• and
• judging at least one of an accuracy, success, or failure of the touch input, based on a recognition result of the touch input and states of the note and the judgment area indication.

A computer-readable medium containing a set of instructions adapted to perform a game method, the medium comprising:

• at least one instruction adapted to control a division of a game screen displayed on a touch screen into multiple track areas, a showing of a judgment area indication—on the game screen, and a showing of a note while moving toward the judgment area indication, wherein the note includes a head and a tail, wherein the tail is connected to the head in a predetermined length, and wherein the tail includes at least one track area change point;
• at least one instruction adapted to recognize a touch input through the touch screen;
• and
• at least one instruction adapted to judge at least one of an accuracy, success, or failure of the touch input, based on a recognition result of the touch input and states of the note and the judgment area indication.

A game apparatus comprising:

• a display configured to display a game screen, the game screen being divided into multiple track areas and showing a note, the note including an input start indication part and an input maintenance indication part;
• a note type controller configured to determine a note type of the note shown on the game screen and to control a showing of at least one of the input start indication part or the input maintenance indication part according to the determined note type;
• and
• a judgment controller configured to judge at least one of an accuracy, success, or failure of an operation based on an inputted operation signal and a position of the note.

A game apparatus comprising:

• a touch screen configured to display a game screen, the game screen being divided into multiple track areas and showing a note, and to recognize a touch input, wherein the note includes an input start indication pan and an input maintenance indication part and wherein the input maintenance indication part is shown over at least two track areas among the multiple track areas;
• and
• a maintenance judgment controller configured to
• judge if the recognized touch input is maintained from a first time when the input start indication part reaches a judgment criterion position in the track area among the multiple track areas-up to a second time when the input maintenance indication part reaches the judgment criterion position of at least one track area among the multiple track areas, the recognition of the touch input being started at the first time, thereby judging at least one of an accuracy, success, or failure of the touch input of the note, and
• further judge if a position of the recognized touch input changes according to a showing of a track area change point while maintaining a state of the recognized touch input, from the first time when the input start indication part reaches the judgment criterion position in the track area among the multiple track areas up to a third time when the track area change point of the input maintenance indication part shown over the at least two track areas reaches the judgment criterion position of the at least two track areas, thereby judging at least one of an accuracy, success, or failure of the touch input of the note.

A game apparatus comprising:

• a touch screen configured to display a game screen and to recognize a touch input, the game screen being divided into multiple track areas and showing a note, and the note including an input start indication part and an input maintenance indication part;
• and
• a partial judgment controller configured to
• judge an input maintenance time during which the recognized touch input is maintained from a first time when the input start indication part reaches a judgment criterion position of the track area among the multiple track areas up to a second time when the input maintenance indication part reaches the judgment criterion position of at least one track area among the multiple track areas, the recognition of the touch input being started at the first time,
• calculate the number of judgments for each length of the note based on the judged input maintenance time, and
• judge at least one of an accuracy, success, or failure of the touch input as many as the calculated number of judgments, thereby partially judging the touch input in the input maintenance indication part.

A game apparatus comprising:

• a touch screen configured to display a game screen showing a note, and to recognize a touch input;
• a memory configured to store a preset criterion touch input time at which the touch input has to be performed when a position of the note corresponds to a judgment criterion position designated in advance with respect to each of the notes used in a game;
• and
• a controller configured to judge at least one of an accuracy, success, or failure of the touch input of the note, based on a difference value between a touch input time of the touch input recognized through the touch screen and the preset criterion touch input time of the note.
