Abstract: A picture signal processing apparatus is disclosed, which performs a frame rate conversion for an input picture signal and obtains an output picture signal. The storing section stores picture data for two frames or more. The picture measuring section measures picture information of the input picture signal for which the frame rate conversion has not been performed using a frame delay period which occurs when the frame rate conversion is performed. The control information generating section generates control information based on the picture data to perform a high quality picture producing process based on the picture information and stores the generated control information and the picture data associated therewith to the storing section. The frame rate converting section performs the frame rate conversion for the picture data supplied from the storing section based on the control information supplied from the storing section.

Abstract: In a car racing game, one player is given a crown in racecourse units which indicates that the player is the fastest player (champion) of the racecourse. A player can play a crown competition with the player possessing the crown aiming to acquire the crown. For example, when a player Px challenges the crown of the racecourse 1, the player Px operates a player's car PC and plays a match against a player Pa who is a crown-possessing player of the racecourse 1. Specifically, the player Px plays a match against a ghost car GC controlled based on ghost data Ga1 of the player Pa for the racecourse 1. When the player Px has won the match, the crown of the racecourse 1 possessed by the player Pa is transferred to (acquired by) the player Px.

Abstract: When a player Pa plays a ghost match against a player Pb, a player's car PC is controlled based on the operation of the player Pa, and a ghost car GC is computer-controlled based on ghost data Gb which is the previous play data of the player Pb. When the player Pa has won the match, the winning player Pa is added to a revenge list of the player Pb as a revenge target player. When the player Pb then plays the game, the player Pb is notified that the ghost car GC of the player Pb has been defeated by the player Pa on the revenge list.

Abstract: When a type of an optical disc is discriminated by disc type discriminating processing, search operation by a CD light beam is carried out in CD discriminating processing, and a distance from a position xf where a large signal change of a first time is detected as a fake phenomenon to a position xs where the large signal change of a second time corresponding to a recording layer is detected as a moving distance d3. Based on the moving distance d3, whether the optical disc is a CD medium is determined. In this manner, whether the optical disc is the CD medium or not can be determined correctly with high precision.

Abstract: An encoding circuit for use with a digital signal transmitting apparatus and a digital signal recording/reproducing apparatus encodes a 16-bit information word into a 18-bit code word by trellis encoding method in the condition that the range of the variation of the ADS is limited in such a manner that the 18-bit code word is composed of a combination of 9-bit sub-code words. Thus, while the channel line density and the circuit scale are being suppressed from increasing, the transmission rate of user data can be improved.

Abstract: A game system allows a player to move a character within a game space while the player manipulates a shooting device. The game system comprises a mobile mount that can be moved at least in the forward and backward, and rightward and leftward directions, and a gun rotatably mounted on the mount. The game system is responsive to the movement of the mobile mount for moving a character object in the forward and backward, and rightward and leftward directions within the game space, changing the facing direction of the character object depending on the rotational movement of the gun, and displaying a game image representing these actions on a display.

Abstract: In an information recording/reproducing apparatus, frame synchronization is speedily performed when initialization is executed or the recording surfaces are switched, and the reliability of recorded data is improved. Segment IDs, each being formed by coding an information word representing a rotational angle measured from a rotational angle origin, are provided within the respective servo areas in such a manner that they are spaced equally in the track direction. While initial synchronization is performed, frame synchronization is established based on the information obtained by decoding the segment ID. This eliminates the need for detecting a home index pattern, thereby speedily performing the initial synchronizing operation. After initial synchronization is achieved, it is constantly monitored whether a frame is not out of synchronization based on the information obtained by decoding the segment ID.
