摘要:
In a system in which a plurality of processes connected via a network hold and use shared data to be shared by these processes, when a manipulation request of the shared data is generated, a manipulation event that represents the manipulation request is issued (T2501). Also, a flushing event is issued in response to a predetermined user's manipulation (T2503). When a manipulation event that responds to the issued manipulation event is received from a server, manipulation of the shared data is executed in accordance with this manipulation event. At this time, issuance of manipulation events based on manipulation requests is inhibited after the flushing event is issued until a flushing event corresponding to the issued flushing event is received (T2506). With this control, in manipulations which are made for the shared data to be shared by the plurality of processes, a subsequent manipulation command is issued after the previously issued manipulation is executed. Therefore, consistency of the shared contents can be maintained.

An information processing method for maintaining, in a system in which each of a plurality of client processes, connected via an information transmission medium, holds and uses shared data to be shared by the plurality of client processes, consistency of shared data held by the respective plurality of client processes, includes a holding step of holding the shared data, and a first issuance step of issuing, in response to a manipulation event request, a manipulation event that represents the manipulation to the shared data to the server process. In addition, a first manipulation execution step executes a manipulation to the shared data in response to a manipulation event received from the server process, and a second issuance step issues an issuance inhibition event to the server process. An inhibition step inhibits issuance of the manipulation event in the first issuance step after the issuance inhibition event is issued in the second issuance step until an event corresponding to the issuance inhibition event is received from the server process.

There is provided an information processing method for setting the exclusive control right of a data item by a specific process in a system in which a plurality of clients connected via a network share data including a plurality of data items. In this method, when a desired data item is designated so as to set its exclusive control right, data items which belong to layers lower than the designated data and are related to the designated data item are retrieved on the basis of the hierarchical structure information of the plurality of data items. Then, the exclusive control right is set for the designated data item and retrieved data items.

An image processing method includes an object level acquisition step of acquiring an object level set for each computer graphics object, a display step of displaying a slide bar with a movable cursor to allow a user to set a user level by manipulating the cursor, and a user level acquisition step of acquiring a user level set by the user, based on a position of the cursor of the slide bar. In addition, a rendering step renders a virtual space including each computer graphics object by rendering each computer graphics object to have its visibility attribute depending on its object level acquired in the object level acquisition step and the user level. The rendering step renders a computer graphics object with an object level less than the user level as a visible object and renders a computer graphics object with an object level equal to or larger than the user level as an invisible object, and the rendering step is repeatedly performed in response to the position of the cursor being changed by the user.

An information processing method maintains, in a system in which each of a plurality of client processes connected via an information transmission medium holds and uses shared data to be shared by the plurality of client processes, consistency of shared data held by the respective plurality of client processes. The method includes an input step of inputting a manipulation request, a determining step of determining a mode corresponding to the input manipulation request, from a plurality of modes including a first mode and a second mode, and a processing step of executing a process corresponding to the manipulation request in accordance with the mode determined in the determining step. The processing step includes a sending step of sending, when the manipulation request requests a manipulation of the shared data, request information that represents the manipulation request to a server process, a reception step of receiving response information corresponding to the request information sent in the sending step, from the server process, and a manipulation execution step of executing a manipulation for the shared data in accordance with the manipulation request or the response information received in the reception step.
摘要:
When a command is a command which requests to establish a communication path with a server apparatus, the communication path with the server apparatus is established (S603), and a sharing mode is set in a public mode (S604). When a command is a command which requests to disconnect the communication path with the server apparatus, the communication path with the server apparatus is disconnected (S606), and the sharing mode is set in a private mode (S607). When a command is a database manipulation command, an event indicating the contents of the manipulation command is generated (S608). If the sharing mode is a public mode, the event is input to a transceiver queue (S610). If the sharing mode is a private mode, the event is input to a receiver queue (409) (S611).
摘要:
An object level is set as an attribute that specifies a virtual object, and a user level is set for an application program, user, or the like that uses this virtual object, and the attribute of the virtual object is determined in accordance with the object and user levels. For example, a virtual attribute is determined in accordance with the magnitude relationship between the two levels. In this way, when the attribute of the virtual object is to be changed, the user need not select virtual objects to be changed one by one to perform change processes, and can easily change the attributes.

When the direction of the view line of the dominant eye of the operator moves while the operator watches the image display plane of the image display device, the view line direction measuring device measures such movement and the direction of the view field is moved, within the space, in the moving direction of the view line according to the result of calculation by the arithmetic operation unit. Thus, the image display can be obtained with reduced errors caused by the manual operation and with improved operability.

In an information processing method for maintaining, in a system in which each of a plurality of processes connected via a network holds and uses shared data to be shared by the processes, consistency of shared data held by the respective processes, when a manipulation request for the shared data is generated, an event indicating that manipulation request is output onto the network. An event as a reply to the event output onto the network is received from the network. A manipulation for the shared data is executed in accordance with the received event. In this way, the manipulation execution timings for shared data to be shared by a plurality of processes can be accurately matched.
摘要:
There is disclosed a mixed reality presentation apparatus which generates and displays a three-dimensional virtual image on a see-through display device so as to allow a plurality of players to play a multi-player game in a mixed reality environment. The apparatus has a CCD camera for detecting the mallet positions of the plurality of players, and a sensor for detecting the view point position of each player in the environment of the multi-player game. The apparatus generates a three-dimensional virtual image that represents a game result of the multi-player game that has progressed in accordance with changes in mallet position detected by the CCD camera and is viewed from the view point position of each player detected by the sensor, and outputs the generated image to the corresponding see-through display device. The apparatus determines the motion of each player by detecting infrared rays output from the corresponding mallet on the basis of an image captured by the CCD camera. The view point position detected by the sensor is corrected by specifying the marker in an image obtained by a camera attached to the head of each player, and comparing the marker position in that image with an actual marker position.
