  • Publication number: 20240171671
    Abstract: Provided are a device and a method for determining optimal control according to a processing state of an application being executed in an information processing device and a device state based on learning data and executing the determined processing. A control unit that controls the information processing device uses learning data to determine optimal control processing according to a processing state of an application being executed and a device state, and executes the determined processing. The learning data is learning data for each application, and the control unit determines optimal control by referring to the learning data of an application that is the same as or similar to the application being executed in the information processing device, and executes the determined optimal control processing. For example, screenshots and search processing are automatically executed.

  • Publication number: 20230118364
    Abstract: [Object] To provide an information processing apparatus and an information processing system that make it possible to play a game smoothly while using a mobile communication system. [Solving Means] An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes a control section and a communication section. The control section performs rendering to generate a first video obtained when a virtual space to which a plurality of users is capable of getting connected is viewed from a first point of view; assigns, to the first video, an identifier indicating that a first slice that is given a high communication priority is used for communication; performs rendering to generate a second video obtained when the virtual space is viewed from a second point of view that is different from the first point of view; and assigns, to the second video, an identifier indicating that a second slice that is given a lower communication priority than the first slice is used for communication.

  • Publication number: 20230122640
    Abstract: [Object] To provide an information processing apparatus and an information processing system that make it possible to play a game smoothly while using a mobile communication system. [Solving Means] An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes a control section and a communication section. The control section selects a slice according to a genre of a game for which a request for information that is necessary for game play is made by a terminal, and assigns, to the information, an identifier that indicates the slice used to communicate the information. The communication section transmits the information to the terminal through a communication network.

  • Publication number: 20220407334
    Abstract: There is a demand for an information processing device capable of maintaining, as long as possible, a state in which a decrease an the processing speed of a CPU due to heat generation hardly occurs. Therefore, proposed is an information processing device including a secondary battery, and the information processing device includes a measurement unit that measures a remaining amount of the secondary battery, a determination unit that determines whether or not the remaining amount is equal to or more than a first threshold and determines whether or not a specific application is in a foreground state, and a charge control unit that stops charging the secondary battery by using an external power supply in a case where the remaining amount is equal to or more than the first threshold and the specific application is in the foreground state.

  • Publication number: 20220134226
    Abstract: To provide an extension function that permits more intuitive operations without interfering with the behavior of an external application. There is provided an information processing apparatus that includes a controller configured to control functional extension of an external application. The controller causes an extended menu icon whose display position is adjustable to be superimposed and displayed on a display window of the external application, and controls a display position of an extended menu according to the display position of the extended menu icon. The controller causes an extension function icon to be superimposed and displayed on the display window with a display position of the extension function icon being adjustable, the extension function icon being associated with an extension function selected on the extended menu, and controls a display position of a sub-icon accompanying the extension function icon, according to the display position of the extension function icon.
