Patent ID: 7843769

Claim:
An information processing device comprising: timing means for performing a timing action and outputting time information indicating a result of the timing action; unit time outputting means for converting the time information into individual time units, each individual time unit being associated with a type, the type having at least two possible time values; unit-by-unit contents decision means for determining unit presentation contents of a non-alpha-numeric object, wherein parameter values are individually designated for all possible time values of every type of the individual time units, the parameter values for at least one type of the individual time units differing from the time values of their corresponding time units, wherein the unit-by-unit contents decision means determines the parameter values for the unit presentation contents of the non-alpha-numeric object for each one of the individual time units; general contents decision means for determining general presentation contents of the non-alpha-numeric object at a time indicated by the time information based on the unit presentation contents, wherein determining the general presentation contents comprises: calculating a sum of the parameter values of the unit presentation contents of the non-alpha-numeric object; and determining the general presentation contents of the object based on the sum; and presentation means for presenting the non-alpha-numeric object based on the general presentation contents.
