  • Publication number: 20100255917
    Abstract: In a game system which may keep players interested in two or more games for a long time, a first game control server stores game result data transmitted from a first game device in a first data storing section. Then, the first game control server generates first usable data based on the newly stored game result data, and stores the first usable data in a data storing means of a first usable data transmitting section in which the first usable data are ready for transmission. Upon receipt of a transmission request command from a second game control server, the first game control server transmits the first usable data to the second game control server. Each player may execute a game program using the data obtained from a previously executed game and other usable data transmitted from a different game device.

  • Publication number: 20070200825
    Abstract: A mouse device includes a USB transceiver, an MP3 decoder, and an FM transmitter. The USB transceiver receives the audio data S(MP3), which is audio data that has been compressed in the MP3 format, from a computer, and outputs the audio data to the MP3 decoder. The MP3 decoder decodes the audio data S(MP3), thereby converting the audio data S(MP3) into an analog signal. The FM transmitter converts the analog signal into a radio frequency signal, and transmits the radio frequency signal thus converted to an audio playback device.
