Abstract: An input information reception unit 32 of a server 30b receives input information relating to a user operation from a client terminal 10 and records the input information into an input information storage unit 42 together with time. An information processing unit 36 carries out an information process immediately on the basis of the input information, and an encoding unit 38 encodes generated primary output data and a data transmission unit 40 transmits the encoded data to the client terminal 10. An adjustment part 52 adjusts processing contents and an encode parameter at any time in response to a communication situation monitored by a communication situation monitoring unit 50 and records an adjustment history into an adjustment history storage unit 54 together with the time. Within a time period within which there is a room in resources, an information process and encoding are carried out again with high quality using the recorded input information and adjustment history in accordance with an instruction from a secondary data generation instruction unit 34, and the generated secondary data is stored into an output data storage unit 46.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for managing the sensory stimulus generated by a head mounted display (HMD). One method includes an operation for identifying the game state of a game being executed for display on a head mounted display (HMD). Further, the method includes an operation for determining the game intensity value for the game state based on user intensity ratings obtained from user play of the game. The user intensity ratings represent the level of sensory stimulus presented to users during the user play of the game via the HMDs of the respective users. Further, the method includes an operation for presenting the game intensity value to the HMD for rendering during execution of the game.

Abstract: In a reader for a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag for near-field wireless communication, an antenna selection switch includes a plurality of antennae arranged with an extent within a predetermined range for transmitting and receiving data to and from an RFID tag, and selects one antenna to be used for transmission and reception of data from among the plurality of antennae. A detection part acquires, when a carrier wave transmitted from the RFID tag is received by any of the plurality of antennae, information indicative of an antenna selected by the antenna selection switch under the control of an antenna changeover controlling part.

Abstract: A method includes generating an audio signal, generating a control signal that is configured to control a haptic feedback device that is incorporated into a device for delivering audio based on the audio signal to a user, and embedding the control signal in the audio signal by using a pseudorandom signal to form an encoded audio signal. Another method includes receiving a signal that includes an audio signal having an embedded control signal, recovering the control signal from the received signal by using a pseudorandom signal, using the recovered control signal to control a haptic feedback device that is incorporated into a device for delivering audio, recovering the audio signal from the received signal, and using the recovered audio signal to generate audio in the device for delivering audio. Systems perform similar steps, and non-transitory computer readable storage mediums each store one or more computer programs.
