  • Patent number: 11775176
    Abstract: A terminal device uploads data to a storage device. The terminal device includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that cause the device to determine whether data to be uploaded is a file or a partial dataset being used by an application, determine whether one or more data objects created in a given format is included in the data to be uploaded determined to be the partial dataset, generate image data and a shared byte string from the data to be uploaded if the data objects created in the given format are included in the data to be uploaded, send the data to be uploaded to the storage device as shared data if the data to be uploaded is the file, and send the image data and the shared byte string to the storage device as the shared data if the data to be uploaded is the partial dataset.

  • Publication number: 20230260210
    Abstract: A computer according to the present disclosure includes a processor, and a storage device storing one or more programs that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: calculate first coordinates in a first coordinate system of a 3D object rendered in an XR space defined by the first coordinate system, calculate second coordinates in a second coordinate system different from the first coordinate system of a device tracked by a tracking system related to the second coordinate system, and calculate a coordinate conversion equation that converts coordinates of the second coordinate system into coordinates of the first coordinate system based on the first coordinates and the second coordinates, in response to a predetermined operation by a user. The computer enables easy use of a device compatible with a second tracking system in an XR space according to a first tracking system.

  • Patent number: 10509512
    Abstract: An input device includes: an operation input panel having a front surface and a back surface, wherein the operation input panel, in operation, receives external forces on the front surface and the back surface as operation inputs and is elastically displaced by the external forces; a sensor which, in operation, detects displacements of the operation surface caused by the external forces; and a signal transmission circuit which, in operation, transmits signals corresponding to the displacements detected by the sensor. The operation inputs received by the input device may cause visual, three-dimensional deformations to object images displayed on a display screen.

  • Patent number: 4403285
    Abstract: A dead lock releasing method automatically releases a dead lock state in a data processing system, wherein a plurality of kinds of tasks selectively use a plurality of common resources. When one task X occupies a resource A and, in this state, the task is to occupy a resource B, if the resource B is occupied by another task Y, the task X is placed in a waiting state. When the task X is placed in a waiting state based on the occupation of the resource B by the task Y and the task Y, which is to occupy the resource A, is placed in a waiting state based on the occupation of the resource A by the task X, the task X and the task Y are placed in a dead lock state. When the dead lock state is caused between the tasks X and Y, the occupation of the resource A by the task X is released and the processing of the task Y is carried out. Then the processing of the task X is carried out.
