  • Patent number: 10632371
    Abstract: Vibration data for vibrating a vibrator is generated, and in accordance with a use form of a device including the vibrator, a first function or a second function is selected. Then, based on an amplitude value in the vibration data and the selected function, a new amplitude value is set, and vibration data including the set amplitude value is output to the device.

  • Patent number: 10350491
    Abstract: When a first operation method using a first operation apparatus and a second operation apparatus as a set is set, first vibration data for vibrating a first vibrator and second vibration data for vibrating a second vibrator are generated, and when a second operation method using either of the operation apparatuses is set, third vibration data is generated based on the first vibration data and the second vibration data. Then, when the first operation method is set, the first vibration data is transmitted to the first operation apparatus, and also the second vibration data is transmitted to the second operation apparatus, and when the second operation method is set, the third vibration data is transmitted to either of the operation apparatus for use in the second operation method.

  • Patent number: 10248209
    Abstract: Predetermined vibration data for vibrating a vibrator of an operation apparatus is generated and output to the operation apparatus. Then, when motion/orientation data of the operation apparatus satisfies a predetermined condition in a period in which the vibration data is output, vibration data for temporarily changing the vibration of the vibrator and thereafter continuing the vibration of the vibrator is generated and output.

  • Patent number: 10118102
    Abstract: First vibration data is generated using first operation data corresponding to an operation on a direction input unit, and second vibration data is generated using second operation data corresponding to an operation on a press button. Then, a first vibrator of a first operation device is vibrated in accordance with the first vibration data, and a second vibrator of a second operation device is vibrated in accordance with the second vibration data.

  • Patent number: 7829777
    Abstract: A music displaying apparatus stores in advance music piece related information concerning a music piece, and a plurality of comparison parameters which is associated with the music piece related information. The music displaying apparatus obtains voice data concerning singing of a user, analyzes the voice data to calculate a plurality of singing characteristic parameters which indicate a characteristic of the singing of the user. Next, the music displaying apparatus compares the plurality of singing characteristic parameters with the plurality of comparison parameters to calculate a similarity between the plurality of singing characteristic parameters and the plurality of comparison parameters. Then, the music displaying apparatus selects at least one piece of the music piece related information which is associated with a comparison parameter which has a high similarity with the singing characteristic parameter, and shows certain information based on the music piece related information.
