An information processing system includes a first information processing device including a mouse and a second information processing device. The first information processing device performs a first set of operations including periodically acquiring a differential movement amount from its own mouse, accumulating the acquired differential movement amount to calculate an accumulated movement amount, and transmitting the accumulated movement amount to the second information processing device. The second information processing device performs a second set of operations including receiving the accumulated movement amount transmitted from the first information processing device, calculating a differential movement amount from the received accumulated movement amount and the previously received accumulated movement amount, and executing an application program that uses the differential movement amount of the mouse of the first information processing device.

A game apparatus of the present disclosure is a game apparatus connected by wire or wirelessly to a controller to which an audio output device is connectable, the game apparatus performing game processing in response to an input signal from the controller. The game apparatus comprises: an audio signal output circuit that outputs an audio signal, and a connection state detector that detects a connection state between the controller and the audio output device. The audio signal output circuit is configured to restrict an output of the audio signal when the connection state detector detects that a connection between the controller and the audio output device is disconnected while the audio signal is being output, and remove the restriction on the output of the audio signal when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

A game system is capable of executing a multi-player game. A host apparatus selectively starts a stored game program, receives operation data from a guest apparatus, acquires own operation data, generates a game image by executing the game program using the own operation data and the operation data from the guest apparatus, displays the game image on a display, and transmits the game image to the guest apparatus. The guest apparatus transmits the operation data to the host apparatus, receives the game image from the host apparatus, and displays the game image on a display. The game program includes, for each game program, as a command for generating the game image, an instruction for generating a game image that is common to the host apparatus and the guest apparatus and/or an instruction for generating game images respectively for the host apparatus and the guest apparatus.

An information processing apparatus (100) comprises one or more processors (102) and one or more memories storing instructions that cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: joining a session in which one or more distribution images based on an image of a running game application can be distributed; displaying a session image comprising at least one of the one or more distribution images distributed in the session, wherein one or more of the distribution images included in the session image are displayed in at least one of a first state and a second state, respectively; and displaying a first image comprising at least an image indicating a further information processing apparatus displaying, in the second state, at least one of the distribution images distributed by another information processing apparatus joining the session.

A vibration control system (10) includes a vibration device configured to reproduce audio frequencies, one or more processors, and one or more memories. The one or more memories store instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: issuing a streaming playback instruction by sequentially specifying PCM data of a specified sampling rate; and controlling the vibration device using the sequentially acquired PCM data in response to the streaming playback instruction.

A vibration control system (10) is provided that includes a vibration device capable of reproducing audio frequencies. Identification information and sound data associated with the identification information are preset in a memory. In response to a sound event generated by an application program, a preset playback instruction specifying the identification information is performed. Sound data is read based on the identification information to control the vibration device using control data.

A computer-implemented method includes performing game operations. The game operations include: acquiring a captured moving image based on a camera moving image captured by a camera; with respect to a plurality of first areas arranged side by side in an image of the captured moving image, executing one or more games, each of which changes game states of a plurality of players respectively corresponding to the plurality of first areas, based on at least a part of a body of a respective user included in each of the plurality of first areas; and executing a preparation process before execution of the one or more games. The preparation process includes: displaying a preparation image in which a plurality of guide images respectively indicating a plurality of second areas arranged side by side and respectively corresponding to the plurality of first areas are arranged on a displayed camera moving image based on the captured moving image; and determining that at least a part of the body of the respective user is included in each of the plurality of second areas.

A controller (200) includes a vibration device configured to reproducing audio frequencies, an input device, one or more processors, and one or more memories. The one or more memories store first data and instructions that cause the one or more processors to perform operations. The operations include determining whether a specified operation has been received by the input device, and performing, in response to the determining, a first control by driving the vibration device to output sound using the first data.

A player object (100) is controlled based on mouse operation acquired from a mouse (16d, 15d), and a non-player object (200) is controlled based on an amount of movement, in an input state, of a virtual mouse (51, 61) that moves continuously moves in the input state or a non-input state within a virtual range (50, 60).

The technology described relates to systems and methods that, at least, generate an input feed containing a plurality of input data, where the input data includes at least inertial sensing data generated by the inertial sensing circuitry, integrate the input feed into an encoder state and push the encoder state to a state buffer, and obtain feedback information based on a communication state between the first device and the second device. A decoder side may decode the payload data to generate output data, and utilize the output data (e.g., for game processing).
