The present disclosure has a configuration in which a distributor who performs a separate distribution that is different from this live content, or a viewer who views this separate distribution can participate in a virtual space and express intent or participate in visual recognition through the commitment of a virtual item.

An information processing device is an information processing device serving as a member device that constitutes a network system, including: a detection unit that performs autonomous inquiry to the connected network system and detects another member device that together forms the network system; and a list management unit that, when the another member device is detected by the detection unit, updates a list indicating member devices of the network system that are newly registered in the network system via the another member device.

Provided is a vehicle-mounted update device for acquiring an update program transmitted from an external server located outside a vehicle, and performing processing for updating a program of a vehicle-mounted ECU mounted in the vehicle, the vehicle-mounted update device including a control unit for controlling transmission of the update program, and a plurality of communication units to which the vehicle-mounted ECU is connected, and when acquiring the update program, the control unit acquires information regarding a communication unit to which a vehicle-mounted ECU to be updated is connected from the external server, and outputs the update program from the communication unit to which the vehicle-mounted ECU to be updated is connected, based on the acquired information regarding the communication unit to which the vehicle-mounted ECU to be updated is connected.

A method is used for managing overlapping communications regarding downtiering and invalidating cached data among nodes in a storage system. The method includes identifying, by a node, data to downtier. The node adds the data to an in progress table, and sends a request for permission to downtier the data to a peer node. The node receives permission from the peer node to downtier the data. In response to the permission to downtier the data, the node checks the in progress table for the data and takes an action based on a result of checking the in progress table.

Provided is a roadside unit including: communication circuitry, which, in operation, receives data transmitted from an on-board unit and transfers the data to a server; and control circuitry, which, in operation, suspends, in a case where the communication circuitry has received an upload resume request for the data from the on-board unit while the data is being transferred to the server, transfer of the upload resume request to the server.

In one aspect of the present disclosure, a distribution package that is generated in advance is stored in a package DB, and information of a vehicle in which a target device is mounted is stored in a campaign DB. Vehicle related information includes a special flag indicating whether to generate a distribution package at that point in time. A package generation unit generates a distribution package upon receiving a package generation instruction and stores the distribution package in the package DB. When the special flag is in a reset state, the package generation unit reads the distribution package from the package DB and transfers the read distribution package to a package distribution unit. On the other hand, when the special flag is in a set state, the package generation unit generates a distribution package at that point in time.

A game program causes a computer to set, if it is determined that a point based on a first action of the character of each of an own player and another player is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, a specific period from a time when an instruction to input a second action has been first accepted from the own player or the other player as a cooperation accepting period, to accept the instruction to input the second action up to a maximum number of times set for each cooperation player from a cooperation player other than the player who has instructed input of the second action, among the own player and the other player, during the cooperation accepting period, and to vary an effect of the second action in accordance with the number of times of the instruction to input the second action.

To provide more useful additional information to the user at a more effective timing. Provided is an information processing apparatus including an output control unit that controls an output of additional information related to a product purchased by a user. The output control unit controls an output of the additional information on the basis of delivery information about the product. In addition, provided is an information processing method that is executed by a processor, the information processing method including controlling an output of additional information related to a product purchased by a user. The controlling of an output includes controlling an output of the additional information on the basis of delivery information about the product.

The present disclosure relates to a mirrored serial interface (MSI) for accessing peripherals through four wire serial interface. More particularly, the present disclosure is related to serial peripheral protocol with looped back mechanism in which contents of source data line are looped back onto the destination line and compared at every clock edge to ensure data sanity and to assert presence of slave and master device during and between cycles.
