Abstract: Upon receiving first operation information indicating a first operation member to which an operation input has been made, an information processing apparatus changes, based on correspondence information, the first operation information to second operation information indicating a second operation member associated with the first operation member indicated by the first operation information and outputs the second operation information to the processing for the game.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus acquires viewpoint information indicating a viewpoint for which rendering of a 3D scene is performed and generates, by a predetermined calculation, a viewpoint independent map for an object included in a rendering scope based on the acquired viewpoint information. And then the apparatus stores each pixel of the generated viewpoint independent map in association with a distance between an object corresponding to the pixel and the viewpoint indicated by the acquired viewpoint information. The apparatus does not perform the predetermined calculation in a case where a pixel of the viewpoint independent map for the object included in the rendering scope corresponding to the distance from the viewpoint indicated by the acquired viewpoint information is already stored.

Abstract: In a rendering system comprising a central server which causes one of rendering servers to execute rendering processing for a screen, and a repository device which stores resource data for the rendering processing and which the rendering servers are able to access, the central server transmits resource data to the repository device based on a request sent from a client device, and generates rendering commands including identification information identifying the resource data stored in the repository device and transmits the commands to one of the rendering servers. The repository device stores the resource data in association with the identification information, and the rendering server receives rendering commands, receives the resource data identified by the identification information included in the received rendering commands from the repository device and loads the data into a memory, and renders a screen using the loaded resource data.

Abstract: Upon receiving first operation information indicating a first operation member to which an operation input has been made, an information processing apparatus changes, based on correspondence information, the first operation information to second operation information indicating a second operation member associated with the first operation member indicated by the first operation information and outputs the second operation information to the processing for the game.

Abstract: A rendering apparatus renders a plurality of screens, where at least a portion of rendering objects included in the plurality of screens are common to the plurality of screens. The apparatus identifies, from the common rendering objects, a first rendering object of which rendering attributes are static and a second rendering object of which rendering attributes are variable. The apparatus collectively performs rendering processing for the first rendering object for the plurality of screens and separately performs rendering processing for the second rendering object for each of the plurality of screens.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus acquires a command including a load request for data stored beforehand, generates a hash value for the command by applying a hash function for the command, reads out and loads into a loading region, corresponding data in accordance with the load request included in the command. In addition, the apparatus associates and manages the hash value for the command and the corresponding data loaded into the loading region.
