Abstract: A game controller includes a plurality of LEDs formed on the rear of a case. The plurality of LEDs are arranged two-dimensionally in its layout area. The game controller has a plurality of PWM control units which are provided inside the case and control the lighting of the plurality of LEDs, respectively. The PWM control units control the lighting of the LEDs based on a control signal from a game apparatus. The game apparatus acquires a captured image of the game controller, and acquires the position of the game controller in the captured image based on the positions of the LEDs in the captured image.

Abstract: A recording medium holder for accommodating a recording medium which records information is disclosed. The recording medium holder has an accommodating member which forms a first accommodating region being capable of accommodating at least one sheet of the recording medium to be held and a second accommodating region being capable of accommodating at least one recording device for recording relevant data generated in relation to the processing of information by an information processing apparatus. The accommodating member includes a recording medium holding portion for positioning and holding the recording medium to be held in the first accommodating region and a recording device holding portion for positioning and holding the recording device to be held in the second accommodating region.

Abstract: The present invention provides a disk apparatus, including: an apparatus body including a driving section for rotating a disk of a substantially circular shape on and/or from which information is to be recorded and/or reproduced, an information reading/writing section for reading information recorded on the rotating disk and/or recording information on the disk, and a control section for controlling the driving section and the information reading/writing section; and a housing for accommodating the apparatus body therein; the housing including a housing body having an accommodating recess formed at a position thereof corresponding to the driving section and the information reading/writing section for accommodating the disk therein and a lid member supported for pivotal motion on the apparatus body for closing up the accommodating recess; the accommodating recess having a convex portion formed in a projecting manner on a bottom face thereof such that the convex portion surrounds the disk mounted around a rotar

Abstract: In a disk containing body including a containing section (1) for containing a disk (D) formed by mounting a disk main body in a cabinet and a lid section (2) for closing a disk receiving aperture of the containing section (1), the containing section (1) has a rising wall (11) that surrounds at least part of the outer periphery of the disk (D) and rises from the bottom surface of the containing section (1), a pair of anchoring claws (12) projecting from the lateral surface of the rising wall (11) toward each other with the disk (D) interposed between them so as to press the contained disk (D) from the aperture side of the containing section (1) toward the bottom surface thereof and a plurality of supporting projections (13) formed at the opposite sides of the line (A) connecting the pair of anchoring claws (12) and adapted to support the disk (D) at the bottom surface thereof.

Abstract: An operating device used in a game machine for playing a television game includes a main body portion and first and second grip portions protruding from one side of the main body portion. A first operating unit is mounted on one end of the main body portion and a second operating unit is mounted on the opposite end of the main body portion. The first and second operating units are each provided with at least one signal input element operable to generate a signal. A third operating unit and a fourth operating unit are mounted to the main body portion adjacent the first and second grip portions. Each of the third and fourth operating units has at least one signal input element operable to generate a signal. When the first and second grip portions are gripped, the third and fourth operating units can be manipulated by the thumb of the hand gripping the first or second grip portion, respectively. The operating device further includes a vibration imparting mechanism for imparting vibrations to the user's hands.
