  • Publication number: 20220143464
    Abstract: The exercise management system includes a storage device for storing user personal information; a processor including hardware for performing a game process including a process of executing a first game associated with an exercise and a process of executing a second game not associated with the exercise; and a communication interface for acquiring detection information, which is a detection result of a user state when the user performs the exercise in the first game in response to an exercise instruction to the user. The processor performs a game process to execute the first game based on performance result information, which indicates a performance result of the exercise, sets a given rest period after the execution of the first game, and does not allow the execution of the first game and allows the execution of the second game during the rest period.

  • Patent number: 8854304
    Abstract: An image generation system includes an image information acquisition section that acquires image information from an image sensor, a motion information acquisition section that acquires motion information about an operator based on the image information from the image sensor, an object control section that moves an object in a movement area based on the motion information about the operator, and an image generation section that generates an image displayed on a display section. The object control section limits movement of the object so that the object does not move beyond a movement limiting boundary set in the movement area even when it has been determined that the object has moved beyond the movement limiting boundary based on the motion information.
