Abstract: A left panel has a portion exceeding a size of a left lens, and a left-eye image displayed in an area of the left panel, which exceeds the size of the left lens, is not visually recognized by a user. A right panel has a portion exceeding a size of a right lens, and a right-eye image displayed in an area of the right panel, which exceeds the size of the right lens, is not visually recognized by the user. An HMD stores a display start position of the left-eye image and a display start position of the right-eye image. The HMD acquires a left-eye image having a size corresponding to the size of the left lens and a right-eye image having a size corresponding to the size of the right lens, which are generated by an external apparatus. The HMD causes the left-eye image to be displayed from the display start position of left-eye image stored in advance and causes the right-eye image to be displayed from the display start position of right-eye image stored in advance.

Abstract: An HMD includes a display section and a lens. The display section includes organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The lens enlarges an image displayed on the display section and presents the enlarged image to a user. A PC generates an image of a virtual space. The PC generates an image to be displayed on the display section by correcting an image obtained by shifting the generated virtual space image according to distortion caused by the lens.

Abstract: There is provided a graphics processing system that allows decompression of a compressed texture with high efficiency. The graphics processing system includes: a main memory; and a graphics processing unit, in which the graphics processing unit includes a run length decoding section adapted to run-length-decode a compressed texture, and a reciprocal spatial frequency conversion section adapted to restore the texture by performing reciprocal spatial frequency conversion on the run-length-decoded texture, and the main memory includes a texture pool adapted to partially cache the restored texture.

Abstract: A related ID information retaining unit relates and stores IDs of game titles related to each other. A game data storage unit stores saved data with a title ID. A title ID acquisition unit acquires a title ID of a game program to be executed, and a related title acquisition unit then acquires another game title ID related to the acquired title ID in a related ID information database. A game data identification unit identifies game data stored in the game data storage unit, based on the title ID acquired by the related title acquisition unit.

Abstract: In the provided information processing device, an acquisition unit (110) acquires an image file of an application program. Use information (166) is added to the image file, said use information indicating what real or virtual devices are usable when the application program is executed. On the basis of identifying information that identifies the application program to be executed, a memory management unit (138) reads, from a memory unit (180), use information (166) associated with the application program to be executed. A UI provision unit (136) refers to the use information (166) and provides a user with information regarding usable devices.

Abstract: An input data is divided into blocks of predetermined time units and then further divided into a plurality of bands. Each band is coded and compressed to prepare a basic sub-block essential for data reproduction and a plurality of extension sub-blocks contributing to improvement of the quality of the reproduced data. A transmission timing during streaming delivery, remaining extension sub-blocks are delivered if the time period is still within a time period for delivering the same data block, but the remaining extension sub-blocks are not delivered and delivery of the basic sub-block of the subsequent data block begins if the delivery timing for the subsequent data block has arrived. In this way, a stable streaming delivery is achieved by a scalable data compression.

Abstract: A processing load at the time of playing back sound data having a loop part is reduced. A sound data encoding apparatus comprises a block dividing means that divides the sound data into blocks according to predetermined rules, and an encoding means that encodes the blocks in groups of a plurality of consecutive blocks. The block dividing means divides the sound data such that, when encoded blocks encoded by the encoding means are decoded to output decoded blocks, then the loop end position in a block that includes the loop end position in the decoded blocks is nearer to an end of the block than a predetermined position. In detail, input delay dummy data are added ahead of the sound data before dividing the sound data. At the time of outputting the encoded data, loop information is outputted also.

Abstract: Tone quality is improved at the time of playing back sound data having a loop part. A sound data encoding apparatus encodes sound data in groups of a plurality of consecutive blocks. In the case where the sound start position is equal to the loop start position, encoding is performed using samples of sound data (for example, sound data just before the loop end) relating to the sound data at the sound start position from the viewpoint of music. In the case where the sound end position is equal to the loop end position, encoding is performed using samples of sound data (for example, sound data just after the loop start) relating to the sound data at the sound end position from the viewpoint of music.
