  • Patent number: 10155161
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus acquires operation information of a user, and executes an application based on the operation information. While the application is being executed, the information processing apparatus repeatedly searches for other unspecified information processing apparatuses by using a wireless communication function, and establishes a connection with the one or more of the other information processing apparatuses having been searched for. The information processing apparatus executes a communication application to communicate with the connected one or more of the other information processing apparatuses, based on the operation information and on operation information relating to the one or more of the other information processing apparatuses.

  • Patent number: 8708829
    Abstract: Each game apparatus participating in a network system has a wireless communication module for performing a one-to-many wireless communication with reference to identifying information and a local communication module for performing a one-to-one infrared communication without referring to it. In a case that the one-to-many wireless communication is performed, pairing processing is executed in a tournament method such that a master and a slave are first decided between its own game apparatus and any one of the game apparatuses over the local communication module, and identifying information stored on the slave side is collected into the master side. In a case that its own game apparatus becomes the only master game apparatus as a result of a series of pairing processing, it transmits a signal including identifying information of all the game apparatuses over the wireless communication module whereas in a case that its own game apparatus becomes the slave apparatus, it receives the signal.

  • Publication number: 20060283343
    Abstract: A double-side printing system where printing is made on both sides of a printing paper has an image density calculator which calculates the image densities of image data of the front side and image data of the back side, and a printing density reducer which reduces both the printing densities for printing the image data of the front side and the image data of the back side when at least one of the image densities of the image data of the front side and the image data of the back side is not smaller than a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 6688220
    Abstract: A stencil printer is linked with a non-stencil printer. A number of copies to be printed is set. Working mode of the stencil printer is set to a stencil making mode or an ink transfer mode. A stencil is made when the working mode of the stencil printer is set to the stencil making mode and ink is transferred to a printing paper through the stencil when the stencil printer is set to the ink transfer mode. When the number of copies set is not smaller than a predetermined threshold value, the stencil printer is used, and when the number of copies is smaller than the predetermined threshold value, the non-stencil printer is used. Switching between the stencil printer and the non-stencil printer is inhibited when the working mode of the stencil printer is the ink transfer mode.

  • Patent number: 6198781
    Abstract: Modulated and coded signals sequentially transmitted by orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing transmission are calibrated on the basis of a reference signal to obtain sequential first calibrated signals. Amplitude and phase differences of the sequential first calibrated signals are detected. The sequential first calibrated signals are calibrated on the basis of the amplitude and phase differences to obtain sequential second calibrated signals. The second signals are then decoded to obtain sequential decoded signals.

  • Patent number: 5822323
    Abstract: An IDFT section has a set of input terminals subjected to components of an information signal respectively. The IDFT section subjects the information signal to inverse discrete Fourier transform to convert the information signal into a pair of a first in-phase signal and a first quadrature signal while assignment of the components of the information signal to the input terminals is in a first state. A first power-related value of one of the first in-phase signal and the first quadrature signal is calculated. The first in-phase signal and the first quadrature signal are written into an output buffer memory when the calculated first power-related value does not exceed a predetermined reference value. The assignment of the components of the information signal to the input terminals is changed from the first state to a second state when the calculated first power-related value exceeds the predetermined reference value.
