20110195784 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, OPERATION DEVICE, AND INFORMATION STORAGE MEDIUM - Provided is an information processing apparatus, which is connected to an operation device including a magnetic sensor and an operation button used for operation input by a user, and is configured to: receive, from the operation device, a detection result of the magnetic sensor and information indicating an operation performed by the user with respect to the operation button; determine whether or not the operation button has been operated, by using the received information indicating the operation; and, when it is determined that the operation button has been operated, restrict a posture of the operation device from being identified by using the detection result of the magnetic sensor. | 08-11-2011 |
20110239233 | DISK APPARATUS - A carrying section of a disk apparatus includes a pair of arms disposed in a substantially symmetrical relationship with respect to the carrying direction of a disk in the proximity of the opposite ends of an opening formed in a housing such that the arms pivot around end portions thereof adjacent the opening in synchronism with each other in directions toward and away from each other, and a biasing element which biases the arms in a direction in which ends of the arms remote from the opening approach each other. The arms individually have rollers provided thereon which grip and carry the disk to a predetermined position. At least one of the rollers is rotated by the driving member to carry the disk. A controller includes a state decision section which decides a carrying state of the disk and a driving control section which stops, if it is decided that part of the disk is carried out to the outside of the housing, the driving of the driving means in a state wherein the rollers grip the disk. First and second disks having different diametrical sizes are available as the disk, and the distance between the rollers is smaller than the diametrical size of the second disk until the second disk contacts with the rollers. | 09-29-2011 |
20110263329 | Operating Device - Provided is an operation device which allows various kinds of operation information to be input to a main body thereof as needed without unnecessarily increasing the weight of the operation device. The operation device includes: the main body having a shape elongated from one end to another end; a light emitting member provided to the one end of the main body; and a connection portion provided to the other end of the main body, to which an arbitrary one of a plurality of other operation devices is to be connected. | 10-27-2011 |
20110266231 | CONTROLLER STAND DEVICE AND CONTROLLER STAND SYSTEM - To provide a controller stand device capable of stably standing any of two controllers having different thickness. A controller stand device has a pedestal having a support concave formed thereon, the support concave having a size large enough to accept the first controller inserted therein. The controller stand device has a support member to be pressed onto the external surface of the controller inserted in the support concave to thereby stand the controller. The support member is capable of moving between a first support position in which the support member is pressed onto the external surface of the first controller when the first controller is inserted in the support concave and a second position in which the support member is pressed onto the external surface of the second controller when the second controller is inserted in the support concave. | 11-03-2011 |
20110316770 | Operation Device - To provide an operation device for use by a user by holding in one hand, comprising a thumb operating area defined on a surface of the enclosure of the operation device, where an operation member to be operated by the user, using his/her thumb, while holding the operation device is provided; an inclination operation member including a stick part projecting from the thumb operating area, for being operated by the user by inclining the stick part, using the thumb; and an operation button provided on the surface of the enclosure in a position opposed to the thumb operating area, being capable of being pressed by the user, using another finger, in a direction intersecting a direction toward the inclination operation member. | 12-29-2011 |
20130062233 | STORING CASE FOR MEMORY CARD - Each of areas surrounded by a plurality of main holders of a first case panel faces an area surrounded by each holder of a second case panel, at least partially. Each main holder includes a wall projecting toward the second case panel to prevent separation of a memory card placed in the holder. This structure enables a storing case to stably hold a plurality of memory card without enlarging the case. | 03-14-2013 |
20130322676 | HEADPHONES - Headphones include a headband, an arm portion, a pair of headphone units that respectively retain a speaker, a hinge structure that supports the headphone unit at the arm portion, and an oscillator that vibrates the arm portion. The oscillator is contained in a transducer box and clamped and supported by the arm portion and the headband. A vibration conducting unit connects the arm portion with the headphone unit and conducts vibration of the arm portion to the headphone unit. | 12-05-2013 |
20140235349 | OPERATING DEVICE - Provided is an operation device which allows various kinds of operation information to be input to a main body thereof as needed without unnecessarily increasing the weight of the operation device. The operation device includes: the main body having a shape elongated from one end to another end; a light emitting member provided to the one end of the main body; and a connection portion provided to the other end of the main body, to which an arbitrary one of a plurality of other operation devices is to be connected. | 08-21-2014 |
