Abstract: A user information management unit of a terminal generates a management number for respective users. A terminal to terminal communication unit communicates with another terminal through ad hoc communication, acquires a unique user ID set for the other user, and stores the user ID in a friend information storing unit. The data generated in a data generation unit is transmitted to a server from a sending unit along with a destination user ID selected from user IDs stored in a friend information storing unit. A reception unit in the server stores the transmitted data in a data storing unit for each destination user ID. When the server receives a connection request from a terminal, a connecting user information acquisition unit in the server identifies a user ID of a connection origin and a data retrieving unit transmits the data to the terminal by retrieving a data storing unit based on the user ID, indicating the user requested for the connection as a destination.

Abstract: A synchronization signal detection apparatus and a synchronization signal detection method for improving the reading performance of an input signal after the dissolution of a defect state or the like. Under a predetermined condition after no synchronization signals from an input signal have been detected in predetermined detection periods and the interpolation of synchronization signals has been started, the judgment about whether each of the synchronization signals detected from the input signal continuously is detected at normal timing or not is performed. Then, according to the judgment result, the resynchronization operation of the synchronization signals detected from the input signal and reproducing synchronization signals is performed. Thereby, the state in which the synchronization signals having different timing from originally expected timing are used owing to the interpolation of synchronization signals can be immediately dissolved.

Abstract: It is intended to display, in a 3D-CG animation, a high-quality background image that is free of distortion due to a pan of a viewing camera. Pre-rendering images of three-dimensional background scenes are mapped over the inside surfaces of respective virtual spheres 70ak−1 and 70ak, and viewing cameras 71ak−1 and 71ak are defined at the centers of the respective virtual spheres 70ak−1 and 70ak. When a three-dimensional model of a movable object such as a character model enters one of the virtual spheres, a region clipped by the pyramidal visual field of the viewing camera located at the center of the virtual sphere is projected onto a display screen.
