Patent number: 11925854Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus that is to be connected to a controller apparatus including a push-button, a force sense presentation section, and the push-button. The push-button moves between a first position and a second position when depressed by a finger of a user. The force sense presentation section presents a force sense to the push-button. The information processing apparatus determines, according to a prescribed force sense setting, the aspect of a force sense to be imparted to the push-button, and controls the force sense presentation section of the controller apparatus, according to the determination. Each time a predefined operation is performed, the information processing apparatus changes the force sense setting from a current force sense setting to a different force sense setting.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT INC.Inventors: Tomohito Ito, Naoyuki Saito, Hideyuki Uchida, Nicolas Doucet, Masayuki Yamada

Patent number: 8909506Abstract: An object placement managing unit changes at least one of a position and a direction of a virtual object based on a value of a parameter associated with a physical quantity that is an attribute of the virtual object. The object placement managing unit determines a first change, which corresponds to a user's operation, in a first physical quantity of the virtual object. The object placement managing unit determines a second change in a second physical quantity. The second change corresponds to and is different from the first change. The object placement managing unit changes a value of a parameter based on the first change and the second change. The object placement managing unit changes, after the value of the parameter is changed, at least one of the position and the direction of the virtual object based on the changed value of the parameter.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2012Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Tomohito Ito, Chihiro Kanno, Hiroshi Matsuike

Patent number: 5298203Abstract: A process for producing fiber aggregate which comprises the steps of coating a conductive material which is insoluble in a dielectric fluid on the surface of fibers; dispersing the fibers into the dielectric fluid to obtain a fiber suspended fluid; introducing the fiber suspended fluid into an electric field which is generated in a space between a positive electrode and a negative electrode, whereby causing individual fibers to electrostatically and one-dimensionally orient; and aggregating the oriented fibers. The conductive material contributes to charge-transfer, and it causes the fibers in the electric filed to orient stably.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 1992Date of Patent: March 29, 1994Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Toyoda Jidoshokki SeisakushoInventors: Takashi Yoshida, Tomohito Ito, Fukuo Gomi, Hidetoshi Hirai
