20090280881 | GAME MACHINE AND PROGRAM - A first game executer is operable to execute a racing game in which a plurality of racing members compete to each other. A second game executer is operable to execute a training game for training a plurality of trained objects including a first trained object adapted to participate the racing game as one of the racing members and a second trained object which is different from the first trained object. An instruction receiver is adapted to receive a first instruction for causing the second game executer to execute the training game, from a first player associated with the first trained object. A first storage is adapted to store a gaming value owned by the first player. A second storage stores parameter data indicative of a training parameter of each of the trained objects, and adapted to be referred by the first game executer when the racing game is executed. The instruction receiver is adapted to receive, from the first player, a second instruction for causing the second game executer to modify the parameter data for the first trained object stored in the second storage. The second game executer is operable to modify the parameter data for the first trained object while reducing the gaming value stored in the first storage, and while referring parameter data for the second trained object stored in the second storage. | 11-12-2009 |
20100240441 | GAME SYSTEM, AND GAME APPARATUS AND CHALLENGE NOTIFYING APPARATUS CONSTITUTING THE GAME SYSTEM - The present invention is to be capable of increasing an opportunity for a user to start playing a game apparatus that the user does not often play so as to allow a large number of users to know enjoyment of that game apparatus. | 09-23-2010 |
20100261535 | GAME SYSTEM AND SERVER - A game system for reliably realizing synchronization of timings at which a common event in a plurality of game machines start. The game system includes a plan management server that measures lapse of system time common in the game system and with the time measurement, updates plan information indicative of remaining time until the system time reaches a process start stage at which a process for the common event starts. Each of the game machines includes an obtaining device to obtain the plan information from the plan management server, a stage determining device to determine whether the system time has reached the process start stage or not on the basis of laps of time of the system time measured in the game machine, and a process executing device to start a process for the common event when it is determined that the system time has reached the process start stage. | 10-14-2010 |

20100123925 | Print device, print system, and method for print operation - A print device according to the present disclosure having a print part for a print operation an image of a print data on a medium includes a memory part configured to memorize a unit price of the medium, and an analysis part configured to analyze whether or not a medium cost determined from the unit price of the medium memorized in the memory part exceeds a predetermined cost, and to create preview data of a print result when the medium cost determined from the unit price of the medium exceeds the predetermined cost. | 05-20-2010 |
20110002000 | ELECTRIC DEVICE AND ELECTRIC SYSTEM - An electric device is capable of transmitting and receiving data relative to an external device. The electric device includes an error detection unit for detecting an error occurred in the electric device; an error restoration command holding unit for holding an error restoration command to restore the error; and an error analyzing unit for analyzing the error occurred in the electric device and retrieving the error restoration command from the error restoration command holding unit according to an analysis result of the error. In the electric device, when the error detection unit detects the error, the error restoration command is retrieved from the error restoration command holding unit according to an analysis result analyzed with the error analyzing unit. | 01-06-2011 |
20110279864 | Image forming apparatus that restricts printing of specific information - The objective of the present invention is to provide an image forming apparatus that can print material by which specific information is not revealed without prohibiting printing, even where the printing data contains information that causes problems by printing specific information. By detecting information to be restricted in the printing data and restricting the image formation of the detected information, the image forming apparatus of the present invention can form the image in which the image of the information is not formed. Accordingly, the present invention provides an image forming apparatus that can print material by which specific information is not revealed without prohibiting printing, even where the printing data contains specific information. | 11-17-2011 |
20120213538 | IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS - An image formation apparatus includes a toner cartridge, a toner-amount detector configured to detect a toner amount in the toner cartridge, a display unit, and an analyzer. The analyzer is configured to make the display unit display a used condition of the image formation apparatus when the image formation apparatus is in a small-amount mode where the toner amount is smaller than a threshold. | 08-23-2012 |
