Abstract:
Correspondence data representing correspondence between a plurality of selection target objects and the attitude of an input device is stored in an information processing apparatus. In accordance with attitude/motion data acquired from the input device, the attitude of the input device is calculated. In accordance with the correspondence data, a selection target object corresponding to the attitude of the input device is selected thereby to perform a process based on the selection target object having been selected.
Abstract:
The method for forming a stopper includes injection molding a stopper molding comprising a molding body portion which embeds an end portion of an element row, and a thin fin portion which extends outward from a periphery portion of the molding body portion on at least one end portion side of the element row, and forming a high frequency wave adhesion portion by adhering the fin portion of the stopper molding by a high frequency wave. By this, a fixing strength of the stopper can be increased, and the high frequency wave adhesion portion can be configured to bend easily by making a thickness of the high frequency wave adhesion portion thin, thereby stably forming the stopper which is difficult to detach for a long period of time.
Abstract:
One of a plurality of areas is displayed as a display area on a display device, and based on an input from an input section, an object included in the display area is determined as a target to be moved, and when a predetermined movement is detected by a movement sensor, the currently displayed display area is switched to an area different from the currently displayed display area, and the area is displayed on the display device together with the object determined as a target to be moved.
Abstract:
A slide fastener having a waterproof structure, and having a pair of left and right fastener stringers including a pair of left and right waterproof fastener tapes and a pair of left and right fastener element rows having a plurality of fastener elements along the side ends of the fastener tapes opposite to each other; a slider for engaging and disengaging the left and right fastener elements with and from each other; and a bottom stopper which is formed over the left and right fastener tapes at lower ends of the fastener elements. The bottom stopper covers a first fastener element near the lowest end except an upper portion of its engaging head and a lower portion of the base of the second fastener element adjacent upward to the first fastener element.
Abstract:
This waterproof slide fastener (1, 2, 3, 4) is configured so that first and second through-holes (14a, 14b) are formed at specific intervals in tape side edges of waterproof tapes (11), and so that first and second halves (15, 16) of fastener elements (12) are connected and integrated together through the first through-holes (14a). A stopper (20, 30, 40, 50, 60) has a body section (21, 31, 41, 51, 61) and an extension section (22, 32, 42, 52, 62) which extends from the body section (21, 31, 41, 51, 61). First and second halves (23, 24) of the stopper (20, 30, 40, 50, 60) are disposed so as to straddle the pair of waterproof tapes (11) and are connected and integrated together through the second through-holes (14b). As a result of this configuration, the manufacturing step of the waterproof slide fastener (1, 2, 3, 4) is simplified, and water is prevented from entering even if the slide fastener (1, 2, 3, 4) is subjected to a lateral pulling force.
Abstract:
Respective orientations (a pitch angle, a roll angle, and a yaw angle) of the input device are detected based on angular velocity data outputted from a gyro sensor unit of an input device. Then, it is determined whether the pitch angle is within a first range or within a second range. When it has been determined that the pitch angle is within the first range, a posture of an object is updated based on the roll angle. When it has been determined that the pitch angle is within the second range, the posture of the object is updated based on the yaw angle. Accordingly, operability can be improved in a game executed in accordance with an orientation of the input device.
Abstract:
A plurality of polygons are placed in a 3-dimensional virtual space. Each of plural types of first textures corresponding to plural types of attributes which the plurality of polygons have is mapped to the polygon that has the attribute of the type corresponding to the first texture, the 3-dimensional virtual space is shot by a first virtual camera, and thereby a main image is generated. In addition, each of the plural types of second textures corresponding to plural types of attributes which the plurality of polygons have is mapped to the polygon that has the attribute of the type corresponding to the second texture, the 3-dimensional virtual space is shot by a second virtual camera, and thereby a main image is generated.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus writes a virtual space image obtained by imaging a virtual space in which objects are arranged from a virtual camera to an output area. When a pointer image representing a positional relationship between a referential position and an arrangement position of the object is depicted on the virtual space image stored in the output area, the pointer image to be depicted is changed in correspondence with conditions, such as the height of the virtual camera and the attribute of the object.
Abstract:
A level ratio calculation circuit calculates average signal level data of signal level data corresponding to each sound collection beam signal, and calculates a level ratio between the average signal level data and each of the signal level data. Since a diffraction sound is substantially equal to all the signal level data, a diffraction sound component of the average signal level data also becomes substantially equal. On the other hand, a collection sound from a speaker is specific to the signal level data of the corresponding sound collection beam signal. Therefore, at the level ratio, the portion corresponding to the diffraction sound is flat and a data level becomes high locally in only the portion corresponding to the collection sound. By using this, the sound collection beam signal including the collection sound is detected.
Abstract:
A game apparatus displays on a screen an image of a virtual space as viewed from a predetermined viewing direction. The game apparatus displays a viewing direction map in response to a predetermined condition being satisfied, such that the viewing direction is set to a predetermined direction on the screen. Furthermore, the game apparatus displays a fixed direction map in response to a predetermined condition being satisfied, such that a direction preset in the virtual space is set to a predetermined direction on the screen. Note that when map images are displayed, the fixed direction map is preferably displayed after the viewing direction map.
