Abstract

A game performing method for executing a game in which a pitcher and a batter play a match-up, has: generating a match-up image of the pitcher and the batter; generating a graph representing preset pitching sequence data; controlling a display of the match-up image provided with the generated graph on its given area; and controlling a pitch of the pitcher automatically, based on the pitching sequence data, wherein the graph representing the pitching sequence data of the pitcher is controlled and displayed on the match-up image of the pitcher and the batter.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A game performing method for executing a game in which a pitcher and a batter play a match-up, the method comprising: 
 generating a match-up image of the pitcher and the batter;    generating a graph representing preset pitching sequence data;    controlling a display of the match-up image provided with the generated graph on its given area; and    controlling a pitch of the pitcher automatically, based on the pitching sequence data,    wherein the graph representing the pitching sequence data of the pitcher is controlled and displayed on the match-up image of the pitcher and the batter.    
     
     
         2 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 judging whether or not a game circumstance meets certain status conditions,    wherein the controlling the pitch includes performing a predetermined correction processing to the pitching sequence data when it is judged that the game circumstance meets the certain status conditions, and controlling the pitch of the pitcher based on the pitching data after the correction processing.    
     
     
         3 . A game performing method for executing a game in which a pitcher and a batter play a match-up, the method comprising: 
 storing the pitching sequence data;    generating a match-up image of the pitcher and the batter;    generating a graph representing the stored pitching sequence data;    controlling a display of the match-up image provided with the generated graph on its given area;    controlling a pitch by the pitcher based on operation input by a player; and    updating the pitching sequence data o add a pitching content of the controlled pitcher    wherein the graph representing the pitching sequence data of the pitcher is controlled and displayed on the match-up image of the pitcher and the batter, and the graph is updated and displayed by every pitch.    
     
     
         4 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , 
 wherein the pitching sequence data includes the pitching sequence data includes the pitching tendency data indicating at least one of proportions by pitch type, pitching course and speed, the pitching tendency data corresponding to a pitching status representing the number of pitches and/or pitching count while one match-up;    the method further comprises judging the pitching status while an ongoing match-up;    the generating the graph includes generating the graph based on the pitching tendency data corresponding to the judged pitching status; and    the graph to be controlled and displayed is varied according to a change of the pitching status.    
     
     
         5 . The method as claimed in  claim 3 , 
 wherein the pitching sequence data includes the pitching sequence data includes the pitching tendency data indicating at least one of proportions by pitch type, pitching course and speed, the pitching tendency data corresponding to a pitching status representing the number of pitches and/or pitching count while one match-up;    the method further comprises judging the pitching status while an ongoing match-up;    the generating the graph includes generating the graph based on the pitching tendency data corresponding to the judged pitching status; and    the graph to be controlled and displayed is varied according to a change of the pitching status.    
     
     
         6 . The method as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the generating the graph includes generating a given form divided based on the proportion indicated in the pitching tendency data.  
     
     
         7 . The method as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the generating the graph includes generating a given form divided based on the proportion indicated in the pitching tendency data.  
     
     
         8 . The method as claimed in  claim 4 , further comprising controlling a display of a screen on which the graphs, which are based on the pitching tendency data corresponding to the each pitching status, is displayed in a list.  
     
     
         9 . The method as claimed in  claim 5 , further comprising controlling a display of a screen on which the graphs, which are based on the pitching tendency data corresponding to the each pitching status, is displayed in a list.  
     
     
         10 . The game method as claimed in  claim 4 , further comprising: 
 a plurality of commentary data corresponding to the proportions indicated by the pitching status and the pitching tendency data; and    selecting the judged pitching status and commentary data according to the pitching tendency data corresponding to the pitching status from the plurality of commentary data, and outputting the pitching status and the commentary data.    
     
     
         11 . The game method as claimed in  claim 5 , further comprising: 
 a plurality of commentary data corresponding to the proportions indicated by the pitching status and the pitching tendency data; and    selecting the judged pitching status and commentary data according to the pitching tendency data corresponding to the pitching status from the plurality of commentary data, and outputting the pitching status and the commentary data.    
     
     
         12 . A storage medium having information recorded thereon, when the information is loaded onto an operating device, the information making the operating device execute the method as claimed in  claim 1 .  
     
     
         13 . A game device for executing a game in which a pitcher and a batter play a match-up, the device comprising: 
 a match-up image generating section for generating a match-up image of the pitcher and the batter;    a graph generating section for generating a graph representing preset pitching sequence data;    an image display control section for controlling a display of the match-up image provided with the graph generated by the graph generating section on its given area; and    a pitcher controlling section for automatically controlling a pitch by the pitcher based on the pitching sequence data,    wherein the device controls a display of the graph representing the pitching sequence data of the pitcher on the match-up image of the pitcher and the batter.    
     
     
         14 . A game device for executing a game in which a pitcher and a batter play a match-up, the device comprising: 
 a storage section for storing the pitching sequence data;    a match-up image generating section for generating a match-up image of the pitcher and the batter;    a graph generating section for generating a graph representing the pitching sequence data stored in the storage section;    an image display control section for controlling a display of the match-up image provided with the graph generated by the graph generating section on its given area;    a pitcher controlling section for controlling a pitch by the pitcher based on operation input by a player; and    an updating section for updating the pitching sequence data by adding a pitching content of the pitcher controlled by the pitcher controlling section,    wherein the device controls a display of the graph representing the pitching sequence data of the pitcher on the match-up image of tFhe pitcher and the batter, and updates the graph by every pitch.    
     
     
         15 . A data signal embodied in a carrier wave, comprising information used for executing the method as claimed in  claim 1 .  
     
     
         16 . A program, when the program is loaded onto an operating device, the program making the operating device execute the method as claimed in  claim 1 .  
     
     
         17 . A storage medium having information recorded thereon, when the information is loaded onto an operating device, the information making the operating device execute the method as claimed in  claim 3 .  
     
     
         18 . A data signal embodied in a carrier wave, comprising information used for executing the method as claimed in  claim 3 .
