Calibration bias control in user input devices
User input devices, such as gaming controllers, are provided herein. In one example, a system includes a movement calibration system configured to determine qualification zones that qualify peak excursions in movement data associated with manipulation of a control mechanism in one or more axes. The movement calibration system is configured to establish updates to the qualification zones based on changes in the movement data, where the updates bias drift of the qualification zones outward in the one or more axes. The movement calibration system is configured to determine calibrated movement data based at least on the updates to the qualification zones. The calibrated movement data can be provided for use in controlling one or more user interface elements with the control mechanism.
PROGRAM, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND METHOD
One or more embodiments of the invention is a program that is executed on an electronic device equipped with a touchscreen, the program causing the electronic device to execute: holding data points as a data point sequence per predefined processing period, the data points being obtained based on touch events generated as a result of an operation performed on the touchscreen by a user; and determining displacement rates of data points in held data point sequences based on displacements of the data points in the data point sequences, and determining a speed factor with which the user controls movement of an operable object in a virtual space based on a deviation of the displacement rate in the latest data point sequence among the held data point sequences relative to the average of the displacement rates in the data point sequences held earlier than the latest data point sequence.
DEVICE FOR INTERFACING WITH A COMPUTING PROGRAM USING A PROJECTED PATTERN
A device for interfacing with an interactive program is provided, including: a housing, including, an IR projector for projecting an IR pattern into an interactive environment; a camera for capturing images of the projected IR pattern; an image processor configured to process the captured images for identification of the projected IR pattern; a transceiver configured to communicate with a computing device, the transceiver configured to transmit data generated by the image processor to the computing device, such that a position of the device in the interactive environment is determined based on the captured images of the IR pattern, the determined position of the device being utilized as input for the interactive program.
Information Processing Method and Apparatus, Storage Medium, and Electronic Device
An information processing method and apparatus, a storage medium and an electronic device are provided. A first preset area is provided on a graphical user interface (GUI). A virtual joystick control is provided in the first preset area. In response to a first touch operation in the first preset area, the virtual joystick control is controlled according to the first touch operation. In a process of executing the first touch operation, in response to at least one second touch operation in the first preset area, an initial position of the at least one second touch operation is acquired. When the initial position is located in a second preset area, it is determined that the at least one second touch operation is an invalid operation. When the initial position is located in a third preset area, the virtual joystick control is controlled according to the at least one second touch operation to control the movement of the virtual character. The present disclosure improves the operation efficiency of a game as well as the experience of a player during game playing.
Electronic gaming machines with pressure sensitive inputs for evaluating player emotional states
Systems, devices and methods are provided. A system comprises a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory comprises machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to receive, from a pressure sensor of an input device of a gaming device, a first pressure parameter value corresponding to a first amount of pressure being applied by a player to the input device at a first input location for a first time duration, determine, based on the first amount of pressure and the first time duration, an emotional of the player. The processor circuit further modifies an operating characteristic of the gaming device based on the emotional state of the player.
POSTURE ADJUSTMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A posture adjustment method includes: obtaining a first operation through a client, determining a second action in response to the first operation, and playing a target picture in the client. The first operation is used for indicating that a first object performs a first action, the first object is an object in a virtual scene displayed by the client, and a first part of the first object holds a target item being used for launching an attack in the virtual scene. The second action is used for driving, by a second part of the first object, the first part to adjust a holding posture to the target item to automatically achieve a relatively proper and accurate posture of using the target item. The target picture being used for displaying that the first object performs the first action and the second part of the first object performs the second action.
Game program, control method for computer, and computer
There is provided a computer that implements an input function of accepting rotation operation information for an operation object having a three-dimensional form in a graphical scene so as to enable output of display information for a certain face of the operation object; a target object display output function of outputting display information for displaying a target face of a target object that includes a corresponding face corresponding to a specific face of the operation object; an operation object display output function of outputting the display information for the certain face of the operation object that is rotated by the input function; and a form determination function of determining whether the operation object and the target object correspond to each other by comparing the certain face of the operation object rotated by the input function with the target face of the target object.
Object movement control apparatus, storage medium storing object movement control program, and object movement control method
A game apparatus includes an LCD, and a touch panel is provided in relation to the LCD. The LCD displays a game screen, and the player performs touch operations (sliding, click, etc.) on the touch panel with use of a stick to draw, correct and decide at random a moving path of an object. When the movement path of the object is decided and some point on the movement path is clicked, the object moves to the clicked position according to the movement path.
ACCESSORY SWITCH METHOD AND APPARATUS IN VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT, DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
An attachment switching method, apparatus and a storage medium are provided. The method includes displaying, by the terminal, a first interface, the first interface including an image of the virtual environment observed by a virtual object, the virtual object holding a virtual gun, and a primary slot of the virtual gun being equipped with a first attachment; receiving, by the terminal, an attachment switching operation; and switching, by the terminal, the first attachment in the primary slot to a second attachment in a secondary slot according to the attachment switching operation, the primary slot and the secondary slot being the same type of gun attachment slots of the virtual gun.
GAME DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, CONTROL PROGRAM, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM HAVING CONTROL PROGRAM RECORDED THEREIN
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a game device, etc., that improves the operability of an operation unit. The game device comprises: a storage unit that stores an image of a first object; a display processing unit that displays at least an image of the first object; first and second operation units for outputting operation information on the basis of a player action; a determination unit that determines whether or not the output operation information fulfills a prescribed condition; an identification unit that identifies, as an object operation unit, the operation unit that output operation information fulfilling the prescribed condition, out of the first and second operation units; and an object control unit that changes the first object in accordance with the operation information from the object operation unit.
