  • Publication number: 20150054756
    Abstract: A touch panel support structure that can transfer vibration of a touch panel to the operator even though a transparent protective plate is in tight contact with the surface of a case is provided. A rectangular touch panel is sandwiched at four corners between the transparent protective plate that is fixedly attached to the case near the four corners and backside support members so that the four corners act as the nodes of vibration. The antinode of waveform of vibration is located in an input operation area inside the four corners so that the touch panel can vibrate with a certain amplitude together with the transparent protective plate that covers the input operation area, even though the touch panel is fixed to the frame-like case along its periphery via the transparent protective plate, and thus vibration can be transferred to the operator.

  • Publication number: 20100160040
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a game apparatus that can replicate a game status by a replay display even in a game in which game result is changed by a character status or a game in which the game result is randomly changed within a constant range. In the game apparatus, the replay display of a game image obtained by causing the game to progress is performed in response to a replay display request of a player. In the game apparatus, perspective transformation of a virtual three-dimensional space is performed from a virtual camera onto a virtual screen to generate a two-dimensional image based on a character status, pad information inputted from the player, an initial value used to generate a random number during game progress, and virtual camera control information, and the replay display of the two-dimensional image is performed on a display device.

  • Patent number: 7588497
    Abstract: When a player character is moved toward a two-dimensional non-player character (NPC) in response to operation of an input section 21 by a player, a main process is repeatedly carried out by a video game apparatus 100. Thus, the two-dimensional NPC approaches the player character and is moved toward a visual boundary surface, and finally leaves the field of view of the virtual camera without moving within the 2D inhibit space. Because the two-dimensional NPC is maintained in a space opposite from the player character with respect to a boundary surface between 2D and 3D in this way, and the two-dimensional NPC is prevented from moving within the side of the player character P from the boundary surface between 2D and 3D, it is possible to reduce processing load of hardware without losing realism (realistic sensation) when an image including multiple objects is drawn in a virtual three-dimensional space.

  • Publication number: 20070011615
    Abstract: A selected file on an optical disc is read to obtain the file information thereof, and if, based on the obtained file information, the selected file is judged to be a reproducible file, it is decoded to be displayed as a slide show image. When the image starts to be displayed, its display time starts to be counted and also the next file is read to obtain the file information thereof. When the display time is judged to have reached a predetermined time and if the next file is judged to be a reproducible file, the next file is decoded to be displayed as the next slide show image. This permits immediate switching to the display of the next image after the lapse of the predetermined time.
