Patent number: 11358027Abstract: A non-limiting example training instrument comprises a hollow main body formed of an aluminum alloy. The main body is constituted by two gripping portions opposite to each other with a space therebetween and a coupling portion coupling the two gripping portions. A load sensor is arranged in the coupling portion inside the main body. The load sensor is a load cell, a strain gauge affixed to an interior of the main body, and a part of the main body to which the strain gauge is affixed functions as a strain body. Therefore, if a user applies a force so as to bring the two gripping portions close to each other or a force so as to move the two gripping portions away from each other, a load thereof is detected by the load sensor.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Nintendo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryoji Kuroda, Shinji Yamamoto, Hiroki Ikuta, Takanori Okamura, Xiaoming Jin, Hitoshi Tsuchiya, Kazuhiro Hosoi, Satoru Osako

Patent number: 10341313Abstract: This first communication section transmits, to an authentication server, an encryption key, identification information capable of uniquely identifying a peripheral device, and signature information of the identification information. A second communication section receives data based on an authentication process performed in the authentication server on the basis of the identification information and the signature information transmitted by the first communication section, then, encrypts second data transmission request information, and transmits the encrypted request information to the authentication server. A third communication section receives second data which is encrypted and transmitted from the authentication server in response to the request information transmitted by the second communication section, then decrypts the second data, and transmits the decrypted second data to the authentication server.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2016Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: Nintendo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yohei Kojima, Ryoji Kuroda, Tatsuhiro Shirai, Jumpei Wada
