Abstract
There is provided a game system which perceives a sign intended by a game player from the motion of a finger or hand of the player and controls the motions of game characters or the situation of a game in accordance with the sign. A game machine includes a received-light pattern detection apparatus for detecting the motion of a hand of a game player as a received-light pattern; a sign perception system for perceiving a sign from the received-light pattern input from the received-light pattern detection apparatus, and a main CPU for controlling a game in accordance with the sign perceived by the sign perception system.
Claims7
A game system for controlling a game in accordance with a motion of a game player, comprising:
- received-light pattern detection means for detecting the motion of the game player's hand as a received-light pattern;
- sign perception means for perceiving a sign from the received-light pattern input from the received-light pattern detection means;
- and
- game control means for controlling a game in accordance with the sign perceived by the sign perception means
- wherein said sign perception means includes
- a coordinate determination processing section for determining coordinates from the received-light pattern data;
- an inclination computation processing section for detecting a straight line from the coordinate data determined by the coordinate determination processing section, thereby computing the inclination of the straight line;
- and
- a verification processing section for perceiving a sign by means of checking the inclination data computed by the inclination computation section against template data.
A computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for controlling a game in accordance with a motion of a game player and causing a computer to perform
- a sign perception function for perceiving a sign from a received-light pattern corresponding to the motion of a hand of the game player;
- and
- a game control function for controlling a game in accordance with the sign perceived by the sign perception function
- wherein said sign perception function includes
- a coordinate determination function for determining coordinates from the received-light pattern data;
- an inclination computation function for computing an inclination of a straight line from the coordinate data determined by the coordinate determination function;
- and
- a verification function for perceiving a sign by means of checking the inclination data computed by the inclination computation function against template data.

- and
- game control means for controlling a game in accordance with the sign perceived by the sign perception means
- wherein said game control means includes
- target detecting means for detecting a target specified by the game player's hand;
- and
- attacking means for attacking the target in a way specified by the sign.
A computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for controlling a game in accordance with a motion of a game player and causing a computer to perform
