Abstract: A plurality of positional information transmitters, each of which transmits positional information to which a plurality of unit spaces are each uniquely assigned, are disposed on a ceiling. A mobile terminal receives the positional information transmitted from each of the positional information transmitters and changes a terminal-side image in accordance with the received positional information. Furthermore, the mobile terminal transmits to a server current positional information and operation information indicating an instruction inputted by a user. The server changes, in accordance with the current positional information and the operation information received by the mobile terminal, a floor image displayed on a plurality of floor displays disposed on a floor. Thus, it becomes possible to provide a highly interesting and novel position detecting system.

Abstract: A game apparatus is capable of controlling infrared radiation emitters 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 emitters, 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 emitters to output an infrared signal of the signal pattern selected by the selection means.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment provides a measurement system. A measurement system measuring body weight includes a weight detection unit detecting weight at predetermined detection cycles, and a calculating unit calculating an average value based on measurement values detected by the weight detection unit at the detection cycles. The detection cycle is shorter than a cycle at which a transient signal waveform predicted in accordance with measurement values detected by the weight detection unit can be obtained.

Abstract: A game controller includes at least four load sensors for detecting a load applied on a support board on which player's legs are ridden, and the game controller transmits a load value detected as manipulation data by the four load sensors to a game machine. The game machine determines a necessary quantity of load values, and the game machine computes the necessary quantity of load values based on the detected load value from the game controller. Then, game processing is performed based on the necessary quantity of computed load values.

Abstract: A game apparatus includes operation means operated by a player, selection means, player object action control means, display control means, and evaluation means. The game apparatus displays a first game image and a second game image concurrently. The player selects either one of the first game image and the second game image with the selection means. The player further operates the operation means to operate a player object related to the selected game image.

A mobile terminal 10 receives the positional information transmitted from each of the positional information transmitters 100 and changes a terminal-side image in accordance with the received positional information. Furthermore, the mobile terminal 10 transmits to a server 300 current positional information and operation information indicating an instruction inputted by a user. The server 300 changes, in accordance with the current positional information and the operation information received by the mobile terminal 10, a floor image displayed on a plurality of floor displays 200 disposed on a floor. Thus, it becomes possible to provide a highly interesting and novel position detecting system.
