  • Publication number: 20220118361
    Abstract: A game system includes a processor, the processor being configured to perform a reception process of receiving an operation input by a player; a virtual space setting process of setting a virtual space in which at least one character is disposed; a virtual camera setting process of setting a plurality of virtual cameras; a character process of setting parts constituting the at least one character based on the operation input; and a display process of generating a plurality of character images, which are images of the at least one character viewed from the plurality of virtual cameras, and displaying a character-creation image in which the plurality of character images are arranged on a display section. In the display process, when the setting process of setting the parts is performed, the processor performs a process of displaying the character-creation image on which the result of the setting process is reflected.

  • Patent number: 7796310
    Abstract: An image reading apparatus capable of increasing the detection accuracy of the size of an original and eliminating the need for an image sensor dedicated to detection of the size of an original. A first reading unit has a first light source disposed on one side of a conveyance path of an original for emitting light to one surface of the original. A second reading unit has a second light source disposed on the other side of the conveyance path for emitting light to be received by the first reading unit, an optical opening for causing the light emitted from the second light source and subsequently received by the first reading unit to pass therethrough toward the first reading unit. The original is detected on the basis of the resultant output of the first reading unit upon receipt of the light emitted from the second light source.

  • Patent number: 6788440
    Abstract: In a sheet feeding device having a forwardly rotating conveying rotary member and a reversely rotating separating rotary member, and for separating and conveying sheets one by one by a sheet separating portion comprised of these two rotary members, the setting of an appropriate center distance when a sheet is separated and conveyed with the center distance between the conveying rotary member and the separating rotary member fixed is effected smoothly within a short time, and a first sheet feeding mode for effecting sheet feeding while automatically adjusting the center distance for each sheet by a center distance changing device and a controller and a second sheet feeding mode for effecting sheet feeding with the center distance fixed can be arbitrarily selected, and when the setting of the center distance during the selection of the second sheet feeding mode is to be effected, the execution of the center distance setting standard operation (adjusting operation) of detecting the center distance automatically

  • Patent number: 6712464
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus which feeds a placed original, reads image information on the original by a reading unit, and forms an image on the original by an ink-jet printing head arranged on a downstream side along the original feed direction has an add-on processing part for changing the image information read by the reading unit in correspondence with the image to be formed by the ink-jet printing head.

  • Patent number: 6315284
    Abstract: A sheet feeding apparatus has a pair of feeding roller and separating roller an inter-shaft distance changing mechanism for the pair of rollers, and sheet detecting means, and a sheet fed is rammed against the surface on which the feeding roller and the separating roller overlap each other to thereby correct skew feeding, and the feeding roller and the separating roller are moved away from each other to thereby feed the sheet. When the passage of the fed sheet between the feeding roller and the separating roller is detected the feeding roller and the separating roller assume a state in which sheet feeding is impossible. By the above-described operation being performed for each sheet, the correction of skew feeding and the separation of a sheet are effected by the feeding roller and the separating roller.
