Patent number: 11925854Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus that is to be connected to a controller apparatus including a push-button, a force sense presentation section, and the push-button. The push-button moves between a first position and a second position when depressed by a finger of a user. The force sense presentation section presents a force sense to the push-button. The information processing apparatus determines, according to a prescribed force sense setting, the aspect of a force sense to be imparted to the push-button, and controls the force sense presentation section of the controller apparatus, according to the determination. Each time a predefined operation is performed, the information processing apparatus changes the force sense setting from a current force sense setting to a different force sense setting.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT INC.Inventors: Tomohito Ito, Naoyuki Saito, Hideyuki Uchida, Nicolas Doucet, Masayuki Yamada

Patent number: 9445416Abstract: A base station sends, to a mobile station, first resource allocation information in accordance with a scheduling request from the mobile station. Furthermore, the base station sends, to the mobile station, second resource allocation information based on the buffer status that is reported from the mobile station by using the first resource allocation information. The base station includes a receiving unit and a processor. The receiving unit receives data sent from the mobile station by using the second resource allocation information. When the processor receives a scheduling request from the mobile station before the completion of the reception of data by an amount indicated by the buffer status reported from the mobile station and when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the processor performs control such that the processor sends the second resource allocation information to the mobile station without sending the first resource allocation information.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2014Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Kotaro Shiizaki, Naoyuki Saito
