Abstract: Disclosed is an operation device that executes a noise removal process of removing noise from a collected audio signal collected by a microphone. In an acting state where noise generation possibly occurs, the operation device transmits noise generation information indicating that the operation device is in the acting state where noise generation possibly occurs, and changes the details of the noise removal process, according to the noise generation information.

Abstract: Disclosed is an operation device including an interaction member, a microphone, a control circuit, and an audio signal processing circuit. The interaction member is used for interacting with a user. The control circuit periodically acquires scan data indicating the acting status of the interaction member. The audio signal processing circuit executes a noise removal process of removing noise from a collected audio signal collected by the microphone. The control circuit periodically transmits previously acquired scan data to the audio signal processing circuit. The audio signal processing circuit executes the noise removal process by using the scan data transmitted from the control circuit.

Abstract: Provided is a vibration device that is connected to an information processing apparatus and includes a vibration mechanism that generates a vibration. The vibration device receives a first vibration command for the vibration device from the information processing apparatus, receives a second vibration command for a different type of vibration device from the information processing apparatus in parallel with the first vibration command, and operates the vibration mechanism on the basis of at least one of the first vibration command and the second vibration command. The second vibration command is in a format different from that of the first vibration command. The different type of vibration device is of a type different from that of the vibration device.
