Abstract

A game machine enabled to make various responses by adding the psychosomatic state and emotion of the player as one of conditions for determining the responding manner. The psychosomatic state of the player is grasped to change the responses in accordance with the psychological state of the player by making use of both a chaos attractor obtained by numerically processing the information sampled from the player and the index indicating the degree how the chaos attractor matches the defining condition of the chaos.

Claims

1. A game system controlling device comprising:

a means for detecting a physical state of a player;

means for assigning the physical state to a plurality of predetermined chaos levels; and

means for controlling the game system in accordance with the assigned one of the predetermined chaos levels.

2. The game system controlling device of claim 1 wherein said physical state is a body temperature of the player.

3. The game system controlling device of claim 1 wherein said physical state is a pulse of the player.

4. The game system controlling device of claim 1 wherein said physical state is a breathing rate of the player.

5. A game system comprising:

means for detecting a physical state of a player;

means for assigning the physical state to a plurality of predetermined chaos levels; and

means for controlling the game system in accordance with the assigned one of the predetermined chaos levels.

6. The game system of claim 5 wherein said physical state is a body temperature of the player.

7. The game system of claim 5 wherein said physical state is a pulse of the player.

8. The game system of claim 5 wherein said physical state is a breathing rate of the player.

9. The game system of claim 5 wherein said physical state is detected through a finger of the player.

10. A game system comprising:

means for detecting a physical state of a player by a sensor comprising an infrared-emitting diode and a photo sensor;

means for assigning the physical state to a plurality of predetermined levels; and

means for controlling the game system in accordance with the assigned one of the predetermined levels.

11. A game system of claim 10 wherein said predetermined levels is defined by a chaos attractor.

12. A game system of claim 10 wherein said physical state is a pulse wave of the player.

13. A game system of claim 10 wherein said physical state is a heartbeat of the player.

14. A game system of claim 10 wherein said physical state is a body temperature of the player.

15. A game system comprising:

means for detecting a physical state of a player by a semiconductor pressure sensor;

means for assigning the physical state to a plurality of predetermined levels; and

means for controlling the game system in accordance with the assigned one of the predetermined levels.

16. A game system of claim 15 wherein said predetermined levels is defined by a chaos attractor.

17. A game system of claim 15 wherein said physical state is a pulse wave of the player.

18. A game system of claim 15 wherein said physical state is a heartbeat of the player.

19. A game system of claim 15 wherein said physical state is a body temperature of the player.

20. An electronic device system comprising:

means for detecting a physical state of a human;

means for calculating a chaos attractor by numerically processing the physical state of the human;

means for calculating an index indicating the degree that a chaos attractor matches a defining condition of chaos;

means for controlling the electronic device system in accordance with the physical state of the human.

21. An electronic device system of claim 20 wherein said physical state is a pulse wave of the human.

22. An electronic device system of claim 20 wherein said physical state is a heartbeat of the human.

23. An electronic device system of claim 20 wherein said physical state is a body temperature of the human.

24. An electric device system comprising:

means for detecting physical state of a human;

means for assigning the physical state to a plurality of predetermined chaos condition; and

means for controlling the electric device system in accordance with the assigned one of the predetermined chaos condition.

25. An electric device system of claim 24 wherein said physical state is a pulse wave of the human.

26. An electric device system of claim 24 wherein said physical state is a heartbeat of the human.

27. An electric device system of claim 24 wherein said physical state is a body temperature of the human.
