Abstract: A communication device includes a first communication unit and a second communication unit and is configured to wirelessly connect to an electronic apparatus. The first communication unit and the second communication unit operate in the same communication protocol. The first communication unit is configured to wait for a connection request from the electronic apparatus, and the second communication unit is configured to wirelessly connect to the electronic apparatus from which the first communication unit received a connection request. The first communication unit is configured to wait, where the first communication unit is not connected to the electronic apparatus, for a connection request in a first mode in which a waiting time period is relatively long, and the first communication unit is configured to wait, where the first communication unit is connected to the electronic apparatus, for a connection request in a second mode in which the waiting time period is relatively short.

Abstract: An input device for inputting a user operation includes a data-for-authentication holding unit that holds data for authentication regarding one or more registered users, a fingerprint sensor that accepts fingerprint information of a user, and a fingerprint authentication unit that checks the accepted fingerprint information against the data for authentication regarding the one or more registered users. When the fingerprint authentication unit 84 succeeds in biometric authentication, a communication unit transmits a network account of the user to an information processing device. The information processing device includes a user authentication unit that checks the received network account against network accounts of registered users held in a registered user information holding unit.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an information processing device that provides an operation signal of an analog stick to a game, including: a conversion processing unit configured to convert a detection value obtained by detection of a movement of a controller into an analog stick signal; and an output processing unit configured to provide the analog stick signal obtained by the conversion to the game. The conversion processing unit includes a first calculation unit configured to calculate a first signal from a detected angular velocity, a second calculation unit configured to calculate a second signal according to a deviation amount between a direction in which the controller is directed and a reference direction, an addition unit configured to add the first signal and the second signal to generate a motion operation signal, and an analog stick signal generation unit configured to generate an analog stick signal from the motion operation signal.
