  • Patent number: 11918899
    Abstract: A computer system is provided that generates images based on execution of an application program such as a video game. When required, images are generated by blending the image data of two successively generated images, with one of the images (e.g., the current or previous image) having a blend factor applied thereto. After a threshold number of images has been blended in this manner, the process switches to applying the blend factor to the other one of the images.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10870054
    Abstract: A non-transitory storage medium encoded with a game program executed by a computer of a game device connected to a display according to one aspect, the game program causing the computer to perform game processing for performing processing of a game, operation acceptance processing for accepting an operation onto the game, operation information recording processing for recording for a predetermined period, operation information accepted in the operation acceptance processing in the processing of the game, game replay processing for replaying a status of play of a game on the display based on the operation information recorded in the operation information recording processing, and game resumption processing for resuming the processing of the game from any position during replay in the game replay processing.

  • Patent number: 9979917
    Abstract: An example information processing apparatus including an infrared light emitter capable of emitting infrared light and a camera capable of at least taking an infrared light image is provided. In the information processing apparatus, first, an image taken by use of the camera is obtained. A face detection process based on the image is repeatedly executed. Then, based on a result of the face detection process, emission of the infrared light is stopped and emission of the infrared light is resumed after a lapse of a predetermined time period.

  • Patent number: 9826173
    Abstract: An example information processing apparatus including an infrared light emitter capable of emitting infrared light and a camera capable of at least taking an infrared light image is provided. In the information processing apparatus, when face detection has been successful with the infrared light emitted, emission of the infrared light is stopped, and a face detection process with the emission stopped is executed. As a result, when face detection has been successful, the face detection process is continued with emission of the infrared light stopped, and when face detection has been failure, the infrared light is emitted and the face detection process is continued.

  • Patent number: 8804956
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of enciphering the digital content intended to be deciphered and retrieved on mobile terminals which makes it possible to limit the computing power necessary for the deciphering and therefore the energy used to do this. The broadcast content is partially enciphered. A signature of the headers of the pictures ensures the integrity of the data.

  • Publication number: 20110173277
    Abstract: In the held of the broadcasting of services, in particular video, on mobile terminals and more particularly that of the method of authenticating the user of a service from a mobile terminal, the invention proposes a procedure for authenticating the user of a service on a mobile terminal making it possible to refrain from manual copying of an identifier by the user. For this purpose, the user enters his mobile telephone number when he registers. A short text message or an e-mail is then sent to him on his mobile terminal. This short message or e-mail contains an identifier of this user's account. When initially launching the application dedicated to access to the service, said application then runs through the short messages or e-mails stored on the terminal, it identifies the message containing the identifier and extracts it.
