  • Patent number: 9275075
    Abstract: To provide an information processing device, an information processing method, an information storage medium, and a program capable of providing information and executing a processing according to a situation in which content is used. A channel data obtaining unit obtains content-corresponding images corresponding to a plurality of respective contents. An index screen image producing and outputting unit outputs a screen image showing a picture in which the respective content-corresponding images are placed according to a rule determined based on data that is updated upon use of the respective contents. An index-object-related processing executing unit executes, upon receipt of selection of the content-corresponding image, a processing that corresponds to a content-corresponding image selected and is based on data that is updated upon use of a content corresponding to the content-corresponding image.

  • Patent number: 5511210
    Abstract: A vector processing device of the present invention comprises a vector processor provided with more than one vector register, operation means for vector operations and a vector control register to store the mask information indicating the effectiveness of the vector data, a storage to store the vector data and a storage controller to control access to the storage. The storage controller has an access control means to select address data for access to the storage stored in the vector register from the address information registration means according to the mask information and a load data storage means to temporarily hold the data obtained by access to the storage using the selected address data and a load data expansion means which uses the held data to expand the load data according to the mask information stored in the mask registration means and stores such data to the vector register.
