A drum rhythm game apparatus and a guitar rhythm game apparatus each includes a staging operating unit. Playing progression information, which includes sector numbers, is transferred between the drum rhythm game apparatus and the guitar rhythm game apparatus, thereby enabling staging operation to be implemented from each of the staging operating units while synchronizing the visual staging instructions provided to players of the game for the background music piece to be played at both the drum rhythm game apparatus and the guitar rhythm game apparatus. This allows the game to be played in a state closer to reality in which multiple players each have staging operating units as different instrument, such as with an actual band, making the game more enjoyable.

A magnetic disk drive device that includes a disk-shaped medium with a magnetic film formed on a surface for recording or reproducing information, and a magnetic head for recording on and reproducing information from the disk-shaped medium. The disk-shaped medium has a data recording region and a control signal recording region. The data recording region is impressed to have convex recording regions for recording data and concave guard bands for separating adjacent recording regions. The control signal recording region has impressed concavities and convexities representing tracking marks (for effecting tracking control of the magnetic head), track number indicating marks and track numbers (for identifying the tracks), and clock marks dividing one circumference into equal intervals along a path of angular movement of the magnetic head. The disk-shaped medium has reduced track pitch and increased recording capacity because the concave guard bands can be very narrow without inducing crosstalk, and the tracking marks, track number indicating marks, and clock marks are impressed as concavities and convexities along the path of angular movement of the magnetic head.

A data for measuring deviation between a recording head and a playback head easily for correctly reproducing data despite such deviation. A playback signal amplitude detection circuit 23 detects the amplitude of playback signals of test data from a playback amplifier 15, while adders 51, 52 cumulatively sum the amplitude values of playback signals in a pre-set group of sectors and those in another pre-set sector of groups on a magnetic disc 21 supplied from the playback signal amplitude detection circuit 23. A subtractor 50 computes a difference between a first sum value from the adder 51 and a second sum value from the adder 52 and routes the difference to a controller 11. The controller detects deviation between the recording head and the playback head from the difference value. When recording or reproducing actual data, the controller 11 causes the position of the recording head or the playback head to be corrected on the basis of the detected deviation.

An optical disc, an apparatus and a method for recording/reproducing the optical disc use Gray coded address information. The hexadecimal data 0 to F correspond to the Gray codes. The Gray code consists of the upper address and the lower address. The four channels of the upper address and the four channels of the lower address are set so that one channel of each address is "1". With the change of the data from 0 to F, the channel of "1" in the lower address sequentially moves to the adjacent channel in the corresponding Gray code. Consequently, rapid seeking can be performed by detecting only the lower address.

A magnetic disk is provided with a track divided by servo areas to record servo signals and data areas to record data signals. Within the servo area, an exclusive region is previously formed to specifically record the servo signal. In one embodiment, the servo region is formed along the moving locus of a magnetic head while writing and reading data, which extends both along the radial direction and peripheral direction of the magnetic disk.

In a head displacement measuring method, prior to actual data recording or data reproduction, either one of the recording head and the reproducing head is wobbled, and the test data is recorded in the disk-shaped recording medium by the recording head. Then, the test data is reproduced from the test data by the reproducing head, and displacement between the recording head and the reproducing head is detected on the basis of the reproduced test data. Thus, the displacement may be detected more easily with higher precision than with the conventional optical detecting method.

A disc recording/reproducing apparatus includes a tracking servo system in which a recording/reproducing head is moved based upon a target position signal indicating its pre-set target position on a disc-shaped recording medium and in which the recording/reproducing head is controlled in its position by a driving unit which employs an output of a controller which is supplied with a position signal obtained by subtracting a deviation from a pre-set target position from the target position signal. The apparatus also includes an eccentricity data storage unit for storing eccentricity data indicating the tracking position of the recording/reproducing head which depends upon eccentricity of the disc-shaped recording medium. The eccentricity data from the eccentricity data storage unit is summed to the target position signal for controlling the position of the recording/reproducing head. In this manner, the current consumption when the recording/reproducing head is halted under a standby state on a pre-set track may be reduced.

A light control apparatus for a LED light-emitting device comprises a driving current supply unit supplying an AC current as a driving current via a pair of terminals to the LED light-emitting device including a set of LED elements having mutually different light emission wavelength regions connected in parallel while providing opposite polarities and the pair of terminals provided to supply the driving current to the set of LED elements; an individual amount defining unit defining a positive driving current amount and a negative driving current amount respectively to be supplied to the LED light-emitting device in a positive half cycle and a negative half cycle included in one cycle of the AC current respectively.
摘要:
Data broadcast data, which is broadcast in data broadcasts, is constructed by disposing, for example, EMD (Electric Music Distribution) links required to acquire song data as actual broadcast data, which is broadcast in actual broadcasts by a transmitting device, the actual broadcast data is transmitted, and the data broadcast data wherein the EMD links for the song data in the actual broadcasts are disposed, is transmitted periodically during the transmission of the actual broadcast data. The actual broadcast data and the data broadcast data are received by a user terminal, and the EMD links disposed in the data broadcast data are stored whenever there is an input of an operation to attach a “bookmark”. Thus, audio data such as songs in programs broadcast can easily be acquired by radio.
摘要:
The reduction in real operation objects in game systems that use real operation objects is detected. The quantity of real operation objects, which are repeatedly used by being circulated, is detected, it is judged whether the quantity is sufficient or not, and the judging results are output. For example, in a ball throwing game, balls are used in rotation by repeatedly supplying and recovering the balls. The quantity of balls in circulation is detected, and if the quantity is less than a threshold value, the manager of the game system is notified whether a sufficient quantity of balls is being supplied to the player or not, by for example outputting a warning message. By playing with an insufficient quantity of balls the level of difficulty of the game is essentially increased, so the player will feel that this is unfair.
