Abstract: A game apparatus is capable of controlling infrared radiation means for radiating infrared light. The game apparatus executes game processing using imaging information on the infrared light obtained from an input device. The input device takes an image of the infrared light radiated by the infrared radiation means, and also receives an input from a user. The game apparatus comprises pattern storage means; selection means; and radiation control means. The pattern storage means stores at least one signal pattern of an infrared signal usable by a control target device. The selection means selects at least one of the at least one signal pattern stored by the pattern storage means, using the input received by the input device. The radiation control means causes the infrared radiation means to output an infrared signal of the signal pattern selected by the selection means.

Abstract: A processor determines whether a prescribed period of time has elapsed or not. When the processor has determined that the prescribed period of time has elapsed, the processor determines whether a mode 0 is set or not. When it is determined that the mode 0 is set, a wireless packet including remote controller button data, remote controller acceleration data and remote controller DPD data is generated. Then, the generated wireless packet is transmitted to a game device. When the processor has determined that a mode 1 is set, a wireless packet including remote controller information including the remote controller button data and the remote controller acceleration data and biological information including previous pulse wave data, present pulse wave data and light reception level data, instead of the remote controller DPD data, is generated.

Abstract: A disc transfer section for transferring an optical disc by guide members and a transfer roller is disposed adjacent to an opening of a casing 110. A detector 500 for detecting the optical disc is disposed adjacent to the opening. When unloading the optical disc, the peripheral edge of the optical disc contacts with slide members so that the slide members are slid, thereby sensor switches SW1 to SW4 are appropriately switched on and off. Based on a time difference between the timings of the on/off switchings, the relation between a movement trajectory of the center of the optical disc and an axis of symmetry that is a straight line indicating a transfer direction at the center of the opening is judged in order to control the drive of a transfer motor according to the movement trajectory. The amount of advancement when the unloading is completed is kept constant.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to reduce the power consumption at the time of an automatic homing operation performed between a base station apparatus and a wireless LAN terminal apparatus. When an automatic homing operation is performed in which a scanning operation is repeated for searching an AP as a connection destination, the wireless LAN terminal apparatus 10 does not leave unchanged a scan pause time period which is a period of time between the previous scanning operation to the next scanning operation, but lengthens it as the number of scanning operations increases. More specifically, each time the scanning operation is repeated predetermined number n times, the wireless LAN terminal apparatus extends the scan pause time period by a given incremental value. The wireless LAN terminal apparatus has an upper limit value of the scan pause time period preliminarily set therein. Thus the scan pause time period is made not to exceed the upper limit value.
