Abstract: To provide an imaging control device, an imaging control method, and an imaging control system, which can capture an image at a proper timing, while suppressing increase of the cost. The imaging control device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires radio wave strength information indicating strength of a received radio wave; and a control unit that performs imaging control on the basis of a change of the radio wave strength information acquired by the acquisition unit. The imaging control system includes: a communication device that includes a communication unit that transmits a radio wave; and an imaging control device that includes an acquisition unit that acquires radio wave strength information indicating a strength of the radio wave received from the communication unit of the communication device, and a control unit that performs imaging control on the basis of a change of the radio wave strength information acquired by the acquisition unit.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus is disclosed comprising a control circuity configured to control communication with another information processing apparatus using a first communication mode, control communication with the another information processing apparatus using a second communication mode, establish a first connection with the another information processing apparatus using the first communication mode and prompt the another processing apparatus to execute a process through the first connection after establishing the first connection with the another information processing apparatus but prior to completing, through the first connection, a second connection with the another information processing apparatus using the second communication mode.

Abstract: An air hockey game apparatus provides appropriate dynamic characteristics to the game, thereby effectively improving amusement characteristics of the game. The air hockey game apparatus has a puck sliding surface having blowholes for blowing air to float a puck, an air-blower for blowing and sending air toward blowholes, a puck-reflecting frame around the puck sliding surface, goals on the puck sliding surface, blocking members in the individual goals, opening/closing driving units for changing the open sizes of the individual goals by using the blocking members, and a controller for controlling the opening/closing driving units, thereby allowing competition for entering the puck into the goals.

Abstract: An air hockey game apparatus allows game players to appropriately recognize statuses such as a game progress status, thereby effectively improving amusement characteristics. The air hockey game apparatus has a puck sliding surface having blowholes for blowing air to float a puck, an air-blower for blowing and sending air toward blowholes, a puck-reflecting frame around the puck sliding surface, and goals on the puck sliding surface. In the air hockey game apparatus, at least one portion of the puck sliding surface is transparent, and display sections are provided under the transparent portion, of which the display mode is changeable. Also, display-mode-setting units for setting the display mode of the display sections are provided, thereby controlling the display sections so as to be in the set display mode.
