Abstract: An apparatus for displaying an object such as a billboard in a virtual world is provided. An input history of a user's operation for moving a character in the virtual world is obtained. The movement track of the character in the virtual world is also obtained. The position and direction of the billboard are changed according to the input history and the movement track so that the billboard is visible to the user. For instance, on a street where the user is expected to move at a high speed, the direction of the billboard is changed so that its display surface can face the front of the character and the billboard is displayed in a position far away from the user's viewing position.

Abstract: An image rendering device holds a table which contains color and brightness values at positions specified by two-dimensional coordinates, where the color values are aligned so as to express a gradation of color tone along one coordinate axis of the two-dimensional coordinate, and the brightness values are aligned so as to express a gradation of brightness along the other coordinate axis. The image rendering device finds parameters corresponding to at least one of color and brightness of a polygon to be rendered, and generates an address for referencing a two-dimensional coordinate corresponding to each pixel composing the polygon based on the parameters. The image rendering device then acquires from the table color and/or brightness values corresponding to the address for referencing the two-dimensional coordinate. This successfully realizes natural expression by the image rendering device without preparing in advance a huge number of textures.

Abstract: A log collecting/analyzing system has a log collection terminal device as a client terminal device which collects logs and transmits the collected logs to a log server via a network. The log server receives the transmitted logs and stores the received logs for analysis. According to this configuration, it is possible to obtain useful information, such as information about what play modes are popular in the case of games and so forth, or information about what characters are popular in the case of selecting a character for a game. Therefore, it is possible to make use of the result of log analysis to develop the game.

Abstract: Abstract of DisclosureAn entertainment apparatus includes a storage unit that stores outside a kernel a device driver for a peripheral device. To make the peripheral device operable, a CPU causes an I/O processor to execute the device driver using a remote procedure call. Data is transferred between the peripheral device and the CPU through a direct memory access using a communication protocol that is commonly used in the apparatus.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a processing system, including: a GPU generating a video; a memory storing data; a data bus connecting the GPU and the memory to each other; a DMA controller connected to the data bus; an input/output bridge connected to the data bus and connected to an external bus for transferring data to and from an external processing system which cooperates with the processing system; and a CPU cooperating with the GPU to share the data stored in the memory. The GPU issues a data transfer instruction of the data stored in the memory to the DMA controller without intervention of the CPU. The DMA controller controls, when the data transfer instruction is received, the input/output bridge to transfer the data stored in the memory to the external processing system.

Abstract: An image generation unit generates image data to be displayed on an outputting apparatus. An acceptance unit accepts operation information of inputting units provided in an inputting apparatus. A sharing processing unit carries out, when the acceptance unit accepts operation information of particular one of the inputting units provided in the inputting apparatus, a process of sharing the image data generated by the image generation unit or information relating to the image data. The particular inputting unit provided in the inputting apparatus is used by a user to input operation information to system software of an information processing apparatus, and the sharing processing unit carries out the sharing process only when the acceptance unit accepts the operation information of the particular inputting unit.
