  • Publication number: 20180353860
    Abstract: Communication system 1 includes communication terminal 20A and game support server 30. Communication terminal 20A runs a game support program associated with game device 10A, to send invitation information to invite user B of game device 10B to a room enabling user A of game device 10A to perform a multi-play activity. Game support server 30, on receiving the invitation information sent from communication terminal 20A, or an invitation acceptance notice sent from communication terminal 20B running a game support program associated with game device 10B, which terminal has received the invitation information, enables users A and B to perform a multi-play activity in the room.

  • Publication number: 20180353866
    Abstract: Exemplary communication system 1 includes game devices 10, communication terminals 20, and game support server 30. Game devices 10 enable users to perform a multi-play activity. Each of communication terminals 20 runs an application associated with corresponding game device 10. Game support server 30 divides communication terminals 20 into separate communication groups in accordance with a situation of the multi-play activity performed by game devices 10 so that communication terminals 20 belonging to a same communication group can communicate with each other.

  • Publication number: 20180341809
    Abstract: An image monitoring system includes: recording means for recording an image captured by a camera via a network; control means for controlling the system so as to display the present image captured by the camera or a past image recorded on the recording means on display means; and moving-object detecting means for detecting a moving object from the image captured by the camera; wherein the moving-object detecting means includes resolution conversion means for generating an image with a resolution lower than the resolution of the image captured by the camera, positional-information output means for detecting a moving object from the image generated by the resolution conversion means and outputting positional information on the detected moving object, and information merging means for merging the positional information of the moving object with the image captured by the camera on the basis of the positional information of the moving object output by the positional-information output means.

  • Patent number: 10037462
    Abstract: An image monitoring system includes a recorder that records an image captured by a camera via a network. The system is controlled to display the present image captured by the camera or a past image recorded on the recorder. A moving object is detected from the image captured by the camera, the detector including a resolution converter for generating an image with a resolution lower than the resolution of the image captured by the camera. A moving object is detected from the image generated by the resolution converter and positional information on the detected moving object is output. The positional information of the detected moving object is merged with the image captured by the camera on the basis of the positional information.

  • Publication number: 20180199201
    Abstract: Exemplary communication system 1 includes communication terminal 10, game device 20, and setting management server 30, each of which is connectable to network 50. Communication terminal 10 includes a processing requesting unit configured to request to setting management server 30 execution of processing on game device 20. Setting management server 30 includes a processing instruction unit configured to instruct game device 20 to perform the requested execution of processing. Game device 20 is a communication terminal not always connected to network 50, which device includes a network connection control unit configured to control connection to network 50, and a processing execution unit configured to perform the instructed execution of processing, upon detecting that game device 20, which was not connected to network 50, has been caused to connect to the network by the network connection control unit.
