Patent EP-1247156-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KOMATA NOBUHIRO
IPC: A63F13/533
Filed: 2001-01-12
Abstract: In order to minimize differences in a pushing speed of a user pushing control elements of a controller in, for example, an entertaining system, arising from differences in the body weights of users, the gives instructions to a computer running software depending on the pushing pressure of the user on the control element connected to a pressure-sensitive device of the controller. The controller is set up to instruct the user to push the control element with at least a maximum strength. The value obtained when the control element is pushed, is stored as the maximum value. Based on the maximum value and a pressure-sensing value table defined in software or various pressure-sensing values, a new pressure-sensing value table or various new pressure-sensing values are generated.

Abstract: Upon voice processing in an ATM network, processing delay
in a real-time voice telecommunication processing is avoided.
Voice data to be processed by a CPS processing unit and by an
IuUP processing unit is subjected to protocol conversion based
on an IuUP protocol and a CPS protocol. The IuUP protocol is
defined as an upper protocol of the CPS protocol according-to
the standard (3GPP 3G TS 25.415). Upon receiving and processing
the voice data, the CPS processing unit does not execute CRC
check; meanwhile, the IuUP processing unit executes the CRC check
instead. Since a CPS header only uses UUI=26, the CPS header
and an IuUP header are always added in combination. Although
the CRC check for the CPS header is not executed, it is possible
to confirm normality of an ATM cell just by checking IuUP header
CRC. Accordingly, it is possible to avoid delay in signal
processing by omitting check for the CPS header CRC.

provides a value associated with the choice to the player if the player accepts
in time. If the player does not accept in time or decides not to accept the
choice, the gaming device, in one preferred embodiment, reveals the value the
player could have accepted when the time period lapses or times out. When
the player has successfully accepted a predefined number of masked choices,
the game adds or multiplies the values yielded by the choices to form an

The disclosed media player controller includes one or more audio/visual mage capture devices focused on one or more users. The captured audio and video information is processed by the media player controller to identify one or more predefined events. A number of rules can be utilized to define various user events, such as when the user has left the room, is on the telephone or is otherwise paying attention to the media player. Each rule contains one or more conditions, and, optionally, a corresponding action-item that should be performed when the rule is satisfied. Upon detection of a predefined event, the corresponding action, if any, is performed by the media player controller.
