  • Information processing apparatus, information processing system, information processing method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for skipping information processing in execution
    Patent number: 10353573
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus that enables, during execution of information processing, a simple and intuitive operation to suspend the information processing, and to start another information processing. An example information processing apparatus includes a game processing unit that executes game processing, a suspension processing unit that suspends the game processing being executed in the game processing unit, in response to a touch-on operation to a touch panel, and a skip processing unit that switches the game processing being executed in the game processing unit to another game processing different from the game processing being suspended by the suspension processing unit, in response to a slide operation to the touch panel.

  • Storage medium having breath detection program stored therein and breath detection apparatus
    Patent number: 8600065
    Abstract: Sound data acquisition means acquires, from a sound input device, sound data representing a sound signal. First evaluation means evaluates the sound signal represented by the sound data, by using a first criterion for detecting whether or not the sound inputted into the sound input device is a breath. Second evaluation means evaluates the sound signal represented by the sound data, by using a second criterion which is different from the first criterion.

  • Computer-readable storage medium having stored therein musical sound generation program, and musical sound generation apparatus
    Patent number: 8556717
    Abstract: A user can move the position of a pan flute in a horizontal direction on a screen by sliding a touch position in the horizontal direction on the screen while touching a touch panel with a stick. Moreover, when the user blows on a microphone hole, a musical sound of a pitch corresponding to a pipe of the pan flute which is displayed in an overlapping manner with a valid position display image at this time is outputted via a sound hole.
