Abstract: A controller for receiving input from a user includes: a memory having at least one set of profile data stored therein; a communication unit operating to transmit and receive signals to and from at least one of a game console and a game server; and a control unit operating to control the controller based on the at least one profile data set. The communication unit operates to transmit a list of one or more profile IDs corresponding to the at least one profile data set to the at least one game console and game server. The communication unit receives a selected profile ID, from among the one or more profile IDs, selected by the user from the at least one game console and game server. The control unit reads a profile data set corresponding to the received, selected profile ID, which is stored in the memory. The control unit controls operations of at least one of the controller with respect to the at least one game console and game server in accordance with the profile data.

Abstract: A light emission controlling apparatus, an operation device, a light emission controlling method and a program that facilitate understanding of identification information associated with the operation device are disclosed. The light emission controlling apparatus includes an identification information specification unit that specifies the identification information associated with the operation device. A specific light emission region specification unit specifies a specific light emission region that is part of a light emission region set to the operation device, the specific light emission region according to the identification information. A light emission controlling unit controls such that at least part of the light emission region emits light in such a manner that a color according to the identification information and the specific light emission region are recognizable.
