Patent number: 8062131Abstract: In the state where a card having a hole or a cut-out portion of a predetermined shape is placed on a touch panel of a game apparatus, a player performs an input operation along the hole or the cut-out portion. Then, the input operation is detected. It is determined whether or not the input operation on the touch panel has been performed using the card, based on the detected input track and determination information for determining whether or not the input operation has been performed along the hole or cut-out portion of the card which is placed on the touch panel. In accordance with the determination result, an event is generated. Thus, a novel input system, as a combination of a touch panel and a card, for generating an event which influences the progress of the game is realized.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2006Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignees: Nintendo Co., Ltd., Ganbarion Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toru Hoga, Takao Nakano, Satoshi Kira, Kouzou Tahara

Patent number: 7425175Abstract: A game apparatus includes a CPU core. The CPU core firstly displays a field defined by a first side and a second side and shows a fixed block in the field. Then, the CPU core executes a player game process using the fixed block in response to a player's input operation, and displaces the fixed block in a direction of moving from the first side toward the second side based on result of the execution. The CPU core also executes an opponent game process and displaces the fixed block in a direction of moving from the second side toward the first side based on result of the execution. In addition, the CPU core determines whether the fixed block has reached the first section or not, and if result of the determination is affirmative, it executes a player defeat process. Moreover, the CPU core determines whether the fixed block has reached the second section or not, and if result of the determination is affirmative, it executes a player victory process.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2006Date of Patent: September 16, 2008Assignee: Nintendo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takao Nakano, Kazuki Yoshihara

Patent number: 6831621Abstract: A liquid crystal display device is provided. An image memory (4) stores therein input pixel data (Rin, Bin, Gin) on a frame-by-frame basis. Differencing circuits (23 to 25) calculate respective difference data ((Rin−Gpre), (Bin−Rin), (Gin−Bin)) on a pixel-by-pixel basis. Comparator circuits (27, 28, 29) output a pulse when the difference data is greater than a difference level (DLV). Counter memories (30 to 32) perform a counting operation each time the pulse is inputted thereto, and output respective counts (FLN_R, FLN_B, FLN_G) after the counting operation for one line. Comparator circuits (34 to 36) output a pulse to skip flag registers (37 to 39), respectively, when the respective counts are greater than a skip level. Skip flags (SPF_Ri, SPF_Bi, SPF_Gi) corresponding to a current line are set at “1.” A gate pulse for the line corresponding to the skip flags “1” is skipped. This reduces the write time of image data.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2002Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: NEC-Mitsubishi Electric Visual Systems CorporationInventor: Takao Nakano
