An inclination of a first unit is detected based on an output from a first acceleration sensor provided in a first unit of a controller, and an inclination of a second unit is detected based on an output from a second acceleration sensor provided in a second unit separate from the first unit. A difference between the inclinations of the first unit and the second unit is detected, and game control is performed using the detected difference. Thus, with a game apparatus using a plurality of acceleration sensors or a plurality of sensors capable of detecting a motion or a posture, a dynamic play is made possible with a high degree of freedom of motion and an intuitive motion input is realized.

According to some aspect, an image display apparatus may include a communication section receiving a plurality of remote operation signals corresponding to remote operations of a plurality of input apparatuses, and a combination section combining a first image based on the plurality of individual remote operation signals received by the communication section and a second image supplied from other apparatus into a third image, and outputting the third image.

A pen includes reception circuitry configured to receive an uplink signal generated according to a first protocol. The pen includes transmission circuitry configured to transmit a downlink signal on the basis of a reception timing of the uplink signal and a command included in the uplink signal. In a case where the reception circuitry, after receiving the uplink signal, in a period in which the next uplink signal is receivable, receives an uplink signal that is in a special state instead of receiving the next uplink signal normally, the transmission circuitry transmits, according to the first protocol, the downlink signal including either data according to the command or default data.

An electronic device includes a touch sensitive display and a processor in communication with the touch sensitive display. The device detects that a second electronic device is in a defined position proximate the electronic device and detects a touch gesture including a swipe tracing a path across the touch sensitive display between a first position proximate the second electronic device and a second position away from the second electronic device. In response to the detection of the touch gesture, regions of the displayed user interface are updated to include visual attributes of a user interface of the second electronic device.

The application relates to an apparatus, method and computer program for adjusting output signals. The apparatus comprising means for receiving at least a first measurement signal from a first movement sensor and receiving at least a second measurement signal from a second movement sensor wherein the first movement sensor and the second movement sensor are provided on the same structure. The means are also for identifying one or more correlations between the measurement signals and using the identified one or more correlations to adjust at least one output signal provided by at least one detector.

An information processing apparatus includes a connection unit, a processing execution unit, a setting unit, and a controller. The connection unit is capable of connecting input apparatuses that output operation information for executing an operation for an image displayed on a screen. The processing execution unit is capable of executing processing corresponding to the operation information on the image. The setting unit sets one of the input apparatuses as a main input apparatus, and sets the other input apparatuses as secondary input apparatuses. The controller performs control such that execution of the processing for the image by the processing execution unit based on the operation information from the input apparatus set as the main input apparatus is validated, and execution of the processing for the image by the processing execution unit based on the operation information from the input apparatuses set as the secondary input apparatuses is invalidated.

Methods for the operator control of electronic appliances and appropriately set-up electronic appliances in which an input of at least one letter is captured independently of an input request, and a volume of data is displayed on a screen of the electronic appliance on the basis of the captured letter. The input may be made by handwriting or by voice input, for example.

The technology disclosed relates to using gestures to supplant or augment use of a standard input device coupled to a system. It also relates to controlling a display using gestures. It further relates to controlling a system using more than one input device. In particular, it relates to detecting a standard input device that causes on-screen actions on a display in response to control manipulations performed using the standard input device. Further, a library of analogous gestures is identified, which includes gestures that are analogous to the control manipulations and also cause the on-screen actions responsive to the control manipulations. Thus, when a gesture from the library of analogous gestures is detected, a signal is generated that mimics a standard signal from the standard input device and causes at least one on-screen action.

Disclosed is a dynamic device allocation apparatus capable of allocating dynamically and flexibly the I/O device, which inputs and outputs information, to the information processing carried out in the system. The dynamic device allocation apparatus includes, a device allocation information storing unit to store device allocation information associating an identifier of an input device apparatus, an identifier of an output device apparatus, and an identifier of the designated information processing apparatus; a registration unit to generate the device allocation information, which specifies contents of the information processing, and to register the generated device allocation information with the device allocation information storing unit; and an instruction unit to generate information processing instruction information which instructs the input device apparatus, the output device apparatus and the information processing apparatus to carry out the information processing according to the device allocation information.

A computer-readable recording medium storing a displacement determination program is disclosed. First and second face areas of a person are extracted, respectively, from first and second images captured by first and second imaging devices arranged at certain positions where first and second available ranges for detecting a gaze are overlapped. First and second feature points are detected based on light reflections in the first face area and the second face area being extracted. First and second gaze positions of the person are calculated based on the first and second feature points being detected. An arrangement displacement is determined from both or one of the certain positions of the first and second imaging devices based on a relative position relationship between the first and second gaze positions.
