  • Patent number: 11463128
    Abstract: An information processing device to enable a user to create a program with visual operations, and to enable the stable implementation of many functions with a small number of devices. In a basic core, a pairing unit executes pairing with a user terminal that executes control for causing functional modules, to exhibit prescribed functions. A transmission information generation unit generates transmission information including: prescribed information to be used by the functional modules, to exhibit the prescribed functions or while exhibiting the prescribed functions on the basis of the control by the user terminal; and information indicating a transmission destination, which is one of the functional modules. A connection unit executes control to superimpose the transmission information on a signal for supplying power to the functional modules in the form of electric current and to transmit the signal to the functional modules.

  • Publication number: 20220026868
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide a technology with which, when a hardware device is operated on the basis of a control program created by a program creation assistance device, an operation at a desirable response speed as, for example, a toy is possible, and an actual device of the hardware device can be independently driven. Provided is an information processing system comprising: a user terminal which assists with the creation of a control program by a user command; basic cores comprising a function for communicating with each of function modules and a function for controlling each of the function modules on the basis of the control program; and the function modules comprising a function for communicating with the basic core and a function for exercising a prescribed function. A control sending unit of the user terminal sends at least a portion of the control program to at least one of one or more of the basic cores.

  • Patent number: 11024196
    Abstract: In order to enable a user to produce a program by means of visible operations, a pairing unit pairs a user terminal and a basic core. A program production unit produces a program on the basis of touch operations by the user. An H parts supply unit and an S parts supply unit respectively supply H parts and S parts to the program production unit. A parts connection unit connects the various H parts and S parts in accordance with touch operations by the user. A program execution unit extracts from a program storage unit a program to be executed, and executes that program. A communication control unit transmits the execution result for the program executed by the program execution unit to the basic core via a second close-range communication unit.

  • Publication number: 20210127247
    Abstract: The present invention enables determination of a pairing partner from among a plurality of devices. In response to acquisition of individual identification information enabling identification of one peripheral terminal, from among one or more peripheral terminals, a pairing unit of a central terminal starts a process (scanning) for acquiring an advertising packet, which is information transmitted from the one peripheral terminal and which is necessary for pairing, and executes pairing with the peripheral terminal by using the acquired advertising packet. In addition, a pairing unit of the peripheral terminal executes control for transmitting the advertising packet in response to acquisition of individual identification information by the central terminal.
