Abstract: Authentication information is acquired from a storage medium through near field communication in one authentication device. Whether the authentication information corresponds to one substrate processing apparatus at which the authentication device is provided is determined. In a case where the authentication information corresponds to the one substrate processing apparatus, access information is transmitted from the authentication device through near field communication. An instruction terminal receives the access information through near field communication. The instruction terminal accesses a maintenance instruction device based on the access information, whereby a maintenance screen is displayed on a display of the instruction terminal. The instruction terminal has an operation unit to be operated by a user in order to provide an instruction for performing a maintenance operation.

Abstract: A portable electronic device 100 includes a horizontally long casing, both ends of which are gripped by a user's both hands, respectively. The device further includes a LCD fit into the front face of the casing 10. Outwardly projecting bulges are respectively formed at both sides of the rear face of the casing where fingers of the user gripping the casing 10 placed. Since the fingers and palms are naturally flexed to fit to the dome-like bulges 42L, 42R, the portable electronic device 100 fits comfortably in the user's hands. The operability is hard to be degraded even if the device is vibrated strongly during a game play with the device.

Abstract: Apparatus for the collective playing of a multi-player computer game at a single location comprising a plurality of player stations and a game information display, in which each player station comprises a primary computer processor for running a computer game program, one or more physical player interfaces for receiving manual player inputs, and a game play display screen for displaying visual graphics for a player to base player inputs upon, in which said plurality of primary computer processors are connected together in a network, and each comprises a game data sending program which sends game data over said network when the respective primary computer processor runs said computer game program, in which said game information display comprises a secondary computer processor for running a display program, which secondary computer processor is connected to said network and comprises a game data receiving program for receiving game data sent by said game data sending programs, and in which when said secondary c

Abstract: A game device for performing a game such that, when a first-choice display object is freely chosen via a pointing operation performed by a player from among a large number of display objects, a second-choice object is then required to be determined as a correct choice. The game device includes a determining means determining whether or not the display object of interest has been chosen based on position coordinates input from an input means and a choice determination range. The game device also includes a correcting means performing, when the correct second-choice object has been determined, correction processing for changing the size of a choice determination range for a display object of interest used for the determination processing so that the choice determination range for a correct choice display object becomes relatively larger than the choice determination range for an incorrect choice display object.

Abstract: A portable electronic device (100) has a long sideways housing (10) whose both ends are held by the hands of a user and an LCD fitted in the surface of the housing (10). Bulges (42L, 42R) projecting outward are formed on both end portions of the rear face of the housing (10), which both end portions being held by fingers of the user holding the housing. When the fingers and palms of user's hands are placed along the bulges (42L, 42R) with the fingers and palms bent naturally, the device fits the hands and operability is less likely to be impaired even the user violently moves in game play with the device.

Abstract: The invention provides an image processing unit for a shooting game in which suitable images can be displayed according to a given situation, and in which more exciting and easy-to-manipulate images are displayed. Coordinate values for objects in three-dimensional virtual space are established on the basis of prerecorded object shape data, view point positions are established on the basis of distances x1 and x2 from predetermined objects defined in three-dimensional virtual space (for example, the positions are lower when the distance is shorter, and higher when the distance is longer), the coordinate values established as described above are received, and the coordinate values are converted to a visual field coordinate system as seen from the view points established in the manner described above.
