  • Patent number: 11654355
    Abstract: To enable to accept users' operation inputs complying with users' wishes. In a shot operation of a golf game, a portable digital assistant specifies the first touch point and the last touch point by a user as a first operation point and a third operation point, respectively. And the portable digital assistant specifies the touch point that the moving direction of the Y direction reversed or stopped as a second operation point, by tracing the touch points in reverse order to the order detected each touch point from the last touch point. Thereby, the portable digital assistant can recognize that, in the user's touch operations, the position the user lastly reversed the moving direction of the Y direction or stopped his/her finger or the like was operated while being conscious of as the second operation point. As a result, a shot operation complying with the user's wish can be performed.

  • Publication number: 20210335331
    Abstract: An image control system includes an estimation circuit, an obtaining circuit, and an image control circuit, which circuits can be at least one processor. The estimation circuit receives an output from a trained model in response to an input of an acoustic signal indicating a performance of a musical piece. The estimation circuit estimates musical performance information based on the output. The musical performance information is associated with the performance indicated by the acoustic signal relative to the musical piece. The obtaining circuit obtains manipulation information that is associated with a playback of an image. The image control circuit controls the playback of the image based on the musical performance information. The image control circuit controls the playback of the image based on the manipulation information upon obtaining the manipulation information.
