Indication position calculation system, indicator for indication position calculation system, game system, and indication position calculation method
First Claim
1. An indication position calculation system calculating an indication position of an indicator, the indication position calculation system comprising:
- a light-emitting section;
an indicator including an imaging section which acquires an image and outputs light-reception information of pixels of the acquired image;
a determination section which determines whether or not each of the pixels is a primary effective pixel satisfying a first condition and then determines whether or not the primary effective pixel is a secondary effective pixel satisfying a second condition based on the light-reception information; and
a calculation section which performs position calculations based on identification information of the primary effective pixels,wherein the calculation section calculates a representative value representing the primary and secondary effective pixels based on the identification information of the primary and secondary effective pixels and then performs the position calculations based on the representative value, while making weight on the identification information of the primary effective pixel different from weight on the identification information of the secondary effective pixel in calculation.

Abstract
When the user of a system directs an indicator toward a light-emitting section, an imaging section provided in the indicator acquires an image PA in a given area including the light-emitting section. A determination section determines whether or not each pixel individually satisfies a first condition based on light-reception information relating to each pixel of the image PA, and a calculation section calculates an indication position of the indicator based on the positions of effective pixels in the image using the effective pixels which satisfy the first condition as pixels corresponding to the light-emitting section. The calculation section calculates a representative value of the effective pixels based on identification information relating to the effective pixels while changing weighting on the identification information relating to the effective pixels depending on whether or not the effective pixels satisfy a second condition.
