  • Patent number: 10096257
    Abstract: A new information processing device for presenting information and allowing a user to input sound in relation to the presented information is provided. An information processing device 10 includes: a display section 104 that displays a sentence that is a reading-aloud target; a sound input section 102 to which sound is input; a time measuring section 105 that measures a sound input time in which the sound is input to the sound input section 102; and a test execution section 103 that determines whether or not the reading-aloud target is read aloud based on the sound input time and a silent time after the sound is input to the sound input section.

  • Patent number: 8782669
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment provides a non-transitory storage medium encoded with a computer readable information processing program and executable by a computer of an information processing apparatus. The information processing program causes the computer to function as a data storage unit for storing for each user, data for application that can be made use of in a prescribed application program executable by a plurality of users, a data communication unit for transmitting and receiving the data for application stored in the data storage unit to and from another unspecified information processing apparatus present within a prescribed range, and an event processing unit for performing event processing based on at least one of the data for application received by the data communication unit and the data for application of another user stored in the data storage unit when one of the plurality of users executes the prescribed application program.

  • Publication number: 20120079426
    Abstract: A game apparatus obtains a real world image (71L, 71R) taken with an imaging device, and detects a marker (60) from the real world image (71L, 71R). The game apparatus calculates a relative position of the imaging device and the marker (60) on the basis of the detection result of the marker (60), and sets a virtual camera in a virtual space on the basis of the calculation result. The game apparatus locates a selection object (01) that is associated with a menu item selectable by a user and is to be selected by the user, as a virtual object at a predetermined position in the virtual space that is based on the position of the marker (60). The game apparatus takes an image of the virtual space with the virtual camera, generates an object image of the selection object (01), and generates a superimposed image in which the object image is superimposed on the real world image (71L, 71R).
