Abstract

A game processing device includes a scene determination portion, a sound recognition portion, a conformity determination portion, and an action controller. The scene determination portion determines whether a scene is an input scene in which sound input information can be input. The sound recognition portion, at an input scene, recognizes sound that is input as the sound input information. The conformity determination portion determines a degree of conformity between (a) the sound input information that is recognized and (b) reference information. The action controller changes an action effect according to the degree of conformity.

Claims (64)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a game processing program that causes a processor, which manages progress of a game and causes display of a virtual space image by a display device worn on a head of a user, to function as:

a sound recognition portion that recognizes sound that is input by the user as sound input information;

a first conformity determination portion that determines a first degree of conformity between (i) the sound input information that is recognized and (ii) sound reference information prestored in a memory; and

a controller that controls an action according to the first degree of conformity.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller controls the action by generating an action effect or changing the action effect according to the first degree of conformity.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 2 , wherein

the controller increases the action effect as the first degree of conformity increases and decreases the action effect as the first degree of conformity decreases.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 2 , wherein

the controller decreases the action effect as the first degree of conformity increases and increases the action effect as the first degree of conformity decreases.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 2 , wherein

the controller increases or decreases the action effect when the first degree of conformity exceeds a threshold value.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 5 , wherein

the threshold value is a single threshold value or a plurality of threshold values.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 2 , wherein

the controller switches a control method of changing the action effect based on a parameter of a game medium of the user.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein

in a first control method as the control method, the controller increases the action effect as the first degree of conformity increases and decreases the action effect as the first degree of conformity decreases,

in a second control method as the control method, the controller decreases the action effect as the first degree of conformity increases and increases the action effect as the first degree of conformity decreases, and

the controller switches between the first and second control methods in response to the parameter of the game medium of the user exceeding a threshold level.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 2 , wherein

the processor is further caused to function as:

a drawing portion that displays a trajectory object according to a trajectory of a movement of the user; and

a second conformity determination portion that further determines a second degree of conformity between (i) the trajectory object and (ii) drawing reference information prestored in the memory, and

the controller increases or decreases the action effect based on both the first degree of conformity and the second degree of conformity.

10. A game processing method that manages progress of a game and causes display of a virtual space image by a display device worn on the head of a user, the method comprising the steps of:

recognizing sound that is input by the user as sound input information;

determining a first degree of conformity between (i) the sound input information that is recognized and (ii) sound reference information prestored in a memory; and

controlling an action according to the first degree of conformity.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a game processing program that causes a processor, which manages progress of a game and causes display of a virtual space image by a display device worn on the head of a user, to function as:

a drawing portion that displays a trajectory object according to a trajectory of a movement of the user that is input as drawing input information;

a first conformity determination portion that determines a first degree of conformity between (i) the trajectory object and (ii) drawing reference information prestored in a memory; and

a controller that controls an action according to the first degree of conformity.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein

the drawing portion displays or does not display a drawing reference object based on the drawing reference information, depending on a scene or a mode of setting.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein

the controller controls the action by generating an action effect or changing the action effect according to the first degree of conformity.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 13 , wherein

the controller increases the action effect as the first degree of conformity increases and decreases the action effect as the first degree of conformity decreases.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 13 , wherein

the controller decreases the action effect as the first degree of conformity increases and increases the action effect as the first degree of conformity decreases.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 13 , wherein

the controller increases or decreases the action effect when the first degree of conformity exceeds a threshold value.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 16 , wherein

the threshold value is a single threshold value or a plurality of threshold values.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 13 , wherein

the controller switches a control method of changing the action effect based on a parameter of a game medium of the user.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 18 , wherein

in a first control method as the control method, the controller increases the action effect as the first degree of conformity increases and decreases the action effect as the first degree of conformity decreases,

in a second control method as the control method, the controller decreases the action effect as the first degree of conformity increases and increases the action effect as the first degree of conformity decreases, and

the controller switches between the first and second control methods in response to the parameter of the game medium of the user exceeding a threshold level.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 13 , wherein

the processor is further caused to function as:

a sound recognition portion that recognizes sound that is input by the user as sound input information; and

a second conformity determination portion that determines a second degree of conformity between (i) the sound input information that is recognized and (ii) sound reference information prestored in the memory, and

the controller increases or decreases the action effect based on both the first degree of conformity and the second degree of conformity.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 13 , wherein

the drawings portion displays another trajectory object,

the first conformity determination portion determines a second degree of conformity between (i) the other trajectory object and (ii) the drawing reference information, and

the controller changes the action effect according to the second degree of conformity.

22. A game processing method that manages progress of a game and causes display of a virtual space image by a display device worn on the head of a user, the method comprising the steps of:

displaying a trajectory object according to a trajectory of a movement of the user that is input as drawing input information;

determining a first degree of conformity between (i) the trajectory object and (ii) drawing reference information prestored in a memory; and

controlling an action according to the first degree of conformity.
