Abstract: A plurality of nodes 2-n are assigned to a plurality of operators. The each node 2-n detects input operation of the corresponding operator to transmit detection information in a wireless manner. A host 27 receives the detection information transmitted in the wireless manner by the each node 2-n. The host 27 transmits a beacon signal BS to the plurality of the nodes 2-n in a predetermined cycle CY. The each node 2-n performs processing of detecting the input operation while changing time, i.e., at times ST0 to ST3 to transmit the detection information to the host 27 in response to the beacon signal BS. It is possible to finely detect order of changes of the detection information among the plurality of the nodes.

Abstract: The infrared light emitting diodes 11 intermittently emit infrared light. The infrared light are retroreflected by the retroreflection sheet 4 of the operation article 3-N, and it is input into the image sensor 21. The image sensor 21 generates the differential image between the image of the emitting period and the image of the non-emitting period. And the MCU 23 analyzes the differential image and detects the movement of the operation article 3-N and transmits the detection result (the trigger, the position, the area) to the terminal 5. The terminal 5-N uses the detection result received for the online game processing and transmits it to host computer 31.

Abstract: [PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED] To provide a newly function measurement apparatus capable of measuring a function of a person while a test subject moves a whole body thereof. [SOLUTION] A mat unit 7 includes foot switches SW1 to SW4, and detects step motion of a test subject. The test subject performs the step motion on the foot switches SW2 and SW3 while sitting. ON/OFF information of the foot switches SW1 to SW4 is transmitted to an adapter 1 by infrared communication. A cartridge 3 is inserted into the adapter 1. The ON/OFF information of the foot switches SW1 to SW4 is sent to the cartridge 3 via the adapter 1. A processor 20 incorporated in the cartridge 3 measures a time from when any one of the foot switches SW2 and SW3 detects the step motion to when the predetermined number of times of the step motion is detected. The measuring result is displayed on a television monitor 5.

Abstract: An audio visual apparatus 1 displays animation in which a character 102 strikes drum objects 106R and 106L with sticks 104R and 104L respectively. In this case, the audio visual apparatus 1 performs frequency analysis of audio signals ALE, ARE as input from outside, predicts occurrence timing of a future beat, and starts to swing the stick 104L or 104R down earlier by the time TA than the occurrence of the beat. Herewith, it is possible to synchronize the strikes of the drum objects 106L and 106R by the sticks 104L and 104R with the beat of the music.
