Patent number: 7694223Abstract: A method for recording a sequence of user actions made when interfacing with objects associated with an executable code is provided. In this method, a selection of a level of detail to record when user actions enable interfacing with the objects associated with the executable code is enabled. Subsequently, the sequence of user actions is recorded. The recorded sequence of user actions is defined by the selected level of detail. Thereafter, the recorded sequence of user actions is parsed by applying rules that enable the generation of a defined number of data types. The data types are capable of being utilized by an application that is designed to generate information that is related to one or more of the data types.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2004Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.Inventor: Gregory Corson

Patent number: 7440428Abstract: Methods are provided to ensure that content defining a sub-grid of a decentralized network continues to be provided to the sub-grid upon departure of a node from the sub-grid that has been responsible for providing the content. A node intent on exiting a sub-grid ensures that content for which it has service responsibility is appropriately transferred to another node prior to exiting the sub-grid, wherein the other node is capable of serving the transferred content to the sub-grid.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2004Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.Inventors: John P.

Publication number: 20060267935Abstract: An input device providing users with a pointing capability includes a sender portion and a receiver portion. The sender portion is adapted to be manipulated by a user to specify a target point within a target area. The sender portion projects a light beam including a pattern on to the target area. A receiver portion includes one or more sensor units located in or near the target area. At least some of the sensor units receive a portion of the light beam regardless of the location of the target point within the target area. A processing unit in the receiver portion analyzes the portions of the light beam received by one or more sensor units to determine an attribute of the target point. The attribute can be the location or relative motion of the target point. The receiver portion may be integrated with a display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2005Publication date: November 30, 2006Applicant: Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.Inventor: Gregory Corson
