  • Publication number: 20190253356
    Abstract: A control device includes a cyclic communication part and a communication management part. A cyclic communication part controls communication of first control data of which arrival in a first guarantee time is guaranteed according to a preset cyclic period and second control data of which arrival in a second guarantee time longer than the cyclic period is guaranteed and of which a sequence of information included is determined. The communication management part manages a communication schedule of first control data and second control data. When new second control data is acquired while the second control data is divided into a plurality of communication data and communicated according to the cyclic period, the communication management part determines a communication sequence of the plurality of second control data according to priorities of the plurality of second control data.

  • Publication number: 20190253497
    Abstract: A control device includes a cyclic communication part, a message communication part, and a communication management part. The cyclic communication part performs communication according to a preset cyclic period. The message communication part performs communication that need not conform to the cyclic period. The communication management part manages a communication schedule for the cyclic communication part and the message communication part. When it is detected that control data scheduled to be communicated is data for preferentially selecting communication in the cyclic communication part, the communication management part detects a communication state of the cyclic communication part. When cyclic communication is possible, the communication management part stores the control data in the cyclic communication part, and when cyclic communication is not possible, the communication management part stores the control data in the message communication part.

  • Publication number: 20190250593
    Abstract: A slave device, a control system, a communication method for response data and a recording medium, through which even when a high-urgency response request is obtained during communication of large-capacity data which requires a plurality of cyclic periods, response data corresponding to the high-urgency response request can be communicated quickly, are provided. The slave device includes a cyclic communication portion and a communication management portion. The cyclic communication portion communicates in accordance with pre-set cyclic periods. The communication management portion manages communication of response data corresponding to a response request from a control device. If a request of response data with high priority is received during communication of response data with low priority over a plurality of cyclic periods, the communication management portion temporarily interrupts the communication of the response data with low priority to communicate the response data with high priority.

  • Patent number: 9998155
    Abstract: The invention relates to a signal processing device, a signal processing method, an information processing program and a recording medium, which removes wide-range frequency noise. In a signal processing device (10), a cycle of acquiring a signal from a sensor is a data acquisition cycle, which is shorter than a cycle of forwarding time sequence data from which noise is removed to a controller, that is, a forwarding cycle.

  • Patent number: 9656179
    Abstract: Individual users may log into the same online game from multiple different social networking platforms. The disclosed technology provides a way to unite users' accounts such that users that have logged into the online game from different social networking platforms can have their progress in the online game preserved regardless of which social networking platforms the user logged in from. Business intelligence about differences in the user's value when logging in from the different social networking platforms can be determined and incentivizing actions can be performed on the social networking platforms based on the business intelligence.

  • Patent number: 9600150
    Abstract: A system and method for displaying auxiliary content during an idle time in a virtual space. Execution of requested actions in an instance of a virtual space may be associated with wait times. Idle periods of time imposed on a user by the wait times of the requested actions may be detected. During the detected idle periods of time, sets of auxiliary content to present to the user may be determined. The sets of auxiliary content may be presented along with the view of the virtual space to the user during the detected idle periods of time. The responses of the user to the individual sets of auxiliary content during the idle periods may be monitored. In some implementations, sets of auxiliary content may be determined based on past responses of the user to previously determined sets of auxiliary content.
