Abstract: Provided are a control device that prevents performance of a process different from a desired process in response to a voice input, a control method, a program, and an information storage medium. A voice acceptance section accepts voice. An output control section performs control such that voice accepted by the voice acceptance section is output to a program capable of performing a process using the voice. The output control section performs control such that if it is recognized that the voice accepted by the voice acceptance section represents given information, voice accepted by the voice acceptance section thereafter is not output to the program capable of performing the process using the voice.

Abstract: In a video game message generation system, a first neural network may analyze a player's gameplay data in real time to determine a moment of gameplay to record. A recording module records the moment of gameplay determined with the first trained neural network. A second trained neural network determines one or more recipients for the recording of the determined moment and a third trained neural network operable drafts a message associated with the determined moment to the determined recipient(s). A user interface presents the player an opportunity send the recording of the determined moment and the one or more messages to the one or more recipients.

Abstract: A light emission control apparatus, an operation device, a light emission control method, and a program are provided that enable richer expression of an execution status of a program based on light emission from the operation device. A particular-light-emitting-area identifying section identifies, on the basis of information corresponding to an execution status of a program, a particular light emitting area that is a part of a light emitting area set on an operation device, the part corresponding to the information. A light emission control section causes at least part of the light emitting area to enable a particular light emitting area to be recognized.

Abstract: A replay data acquisition section acquires replay data for reproducing a play status of a game. A replay image generation section generates a replay image of a game scene on the basis of the acquired replay data. A user determination section determines a user to be included in a combined image. A user image acquisition section acquires a user image obtained by imaging the determined user. A combination processing section generates the combined image by combining the acquired user image with the replay image.
