Abstract: First communication data is in a first transmission protocol and serial in first communication cycles. The first communication data is accumulated and then transmitted at second communication cycles. The first communication data is then converted into second communication data in a second transmission protocol. The first communication data is received in accordance with a first clock signal supplied together with the first communication data. The accumulated first communication data is transmitted in accordance with a second clock signal. The difference in transmission protocol and transmission timings between the first and second communication data is thereby eliminated.

Abstract translation: 第一通信数据处于第一传输协议中，并且在第一通信周期中是串行的。 第一通信数据被累积，然后在第二通信周期发送。 然后，第一通信数据在第二传输协议中被转换成第二通信数据。 根据与第一通信数据一起提供的第一时钟信号接收第一通信数据。 累积的第一通信数据根据第二时钟信号被发送。 从而消除了第一和第二通信数据之间的传输协议和传输定时的不同。

Abstract: A digital contents distribution system has a multi-layered structure including a server device (CS device) of one or a small number of managers which are each to be a manager main body, a plurality of server devices (DS devices) of middle managers, and client terminal devices (SC terminal devices) of a large number of users. Accesses from the respective users are processed in the server devices of respective ones of the middle managers. It is therefore possible to prevent an inconvenience in which the accesses from a large number of users concentrate on the CS device of the manager. As a result, it is possible to reduce the load imposed on the CS device, and to perform a smooth distribution service of digital contents.

Abstract: Routine processing for routine data, non-routine processing for routine data and general non-routine processing are to be processed efficiently. To this end, a main CPU has a CPU core having a parallel computational mechanism, a command cache and a data cache as ordinary cache units, and a scratch-pad memory SPR which is an internal high-speed memory capable of performing direct memory accessing (DMA) suited for routine processing. A floating decimal point vector processor (VPE) has an internal high-speed memory (VU-MEM) capable of DMA processing and is tightly connected to the main CPU to form a co-processor. The VPE has a high-speed internal memory (VU-MEM) capable of DMA processing. The DMA controller (DMAC) controls DMA transfer between the main memory and the SPR, between the main memory and the (VU-MEM) and between the (VU-MEM) and the SPR.

Abstract: A main memory stores an operating guidance program for displaying operating guidance on a display monitor and enabling control members of a manual control input device to emit continuous or flickering light in relating to the operating guidance. Based on a command from the manual control input device, a CPU executes the operating guidance program stored in the main memory. The operating guidance program enables the control members to emit continuous or flickering light sequentially and displays operating guidance for at least the control members which are emitting continuous or flickering light on the display monitor. Not only the operating guidance is displayed on the display monitor, but also visual sensations are given to the game player by controlling the control members to emit continuous or flickering light on the manual control input device.
