Abstract

On the occasion that predetermined voices are recognized, parameters regarding objects are changed appropriately depending on the voice thus recognized, and the objects is displayed on the basis of the changed parameters. For that reason, it is possible to control to display smoothly a battle scene while fastening smoothly an attack and protection and so forth between the character of the leading character and the character of the enemy.
