摘要： The game system provides a music game which guides respective operation timings. Concretely, the game system presents on a game screen, a game area which includes: five lane images extending in parallel to each other such that a height difference is formed between an upper lane image group and a lower lane image group; and evaluation sign images and object images which are disposed along the respective lane images. The game system controls the display of the evaluation sign images and the object images such that the evaluation sign images are moved through the object images on the respective lane images at the respective operation timings to guide the respective operation timings through the coincidence of the evaluation sign images and the object images.

摘要： A guitar-shaped video game controller includes a body having a shape that resembles a guitar body, and a neck that is pivotally coupled to the guitar body via a hinge so that the neck can pivot between an extended position and a folded position relative to the guitar body. A latch assembly is actuatable to selectively lock the neck in the extended position to the body. A cable extends between and electrically connects the neck and the body to maintain an electrical connection between the neck and the body when the neck is in the extended and the folded positions.

摘要： The present disclosure is directed at methods, apparatus and systems for implementing an improvised guitar playing feature on a rhythm-action game. The improvised guitar playing feature allows players to manipulate a guitar controller to produce a pleasing, musical-sounding improvised play even if the players have little experience or skill at improvising music. This feature uses quantized 8th and 16th note musical phrases, or “licks”, strung together to form authentic, melodic, and rhythmically musical and impressive guitar lines, regardless of the player's ability. The improvised guitar playing feature can also display cues directing the player to improvise in a certain manner, while still providing players a degree of musical freedom in selecting how to play. In some embodiments, the present disclosure is also directed at scoring mechanisms for evaluating improvised guitar play.

摘要： The present invention relates to the field of audio recognition, in particular to computer implemented note recognition methods in a gaming application. Furthermore, the present invention relates to improving latency of such audio recognition methods. One of the embodiments of the invention described herein is a method for note recognition of an audio source. The method includes: dividing an audio input into a plurality of frames, each frame having a pre-determined length, conducting a frequency analysis of at least a set of the plurality of frames, based on the frequency analysis, determining if a frame is a transient frame with a frequency change between the beginning and end of the frame, comparing the frequency analysis of each said transient frame to the frequency analysis of an immediately preceding frame and, based on said comparison, determining at least one probable pitch present at the end of each transient frame, and for each transient frame, outputting pitch data indicative of the probable pitch present at the end of the transient frame.

摘要： According to the present invention, in response to the change of the menu hierarchy, it is possible to diversify the BGM easily. First, BGM 1, BGM 2, and BGM 3 (hereinafter the BGM 1, 2, and 3) that are the same piece of music performed with different sounds are played back simultaneously. Only the volume of the BGM 1 is turned up and the volume of the BGM 2 and 3 are turned down to mute. Next, in response to the change of the menu hierarchy, the volume of the BGM 1 is muted and the volume of one of the muted BGM 2 or 3 is turned up.

摘要： Systems and methods for re-arranging a musical composition using augmented reality are disclosed. A user can be provided with one or more physical image markers representative of at least one of a musical entity and a musical style in which a musical track has been pre-recorded. Upon capturing a visual scene in which one or more of these physical image markers are included, an augmented reality version of the visual scene is displayed along with audio corresponding to the musical style(s) and/or entities represented by the one or more physical image markers.
