A machine learning device includes a state variable acquiring section, a teaching data acquiring section, and a learned model generating section. The state variable acquiring section acquires, as state variables: feature information that is information regarding a feature of an actual printed matter on which printing has been actually performed by an image forming apparatus; medium information that is information regarding a print medium used in the actual printed matter; and first control information that is information regarding control performed when the actual printed matter has been outputted. The teaching data acquiring section acquires, as teaching data, second control information that is information regarding control that causes the feature information to fall within a predetermined threshold. The learned model generating section generates a learned model by performing machine learning on the basis of the pieces of information acquired by the state variable acquiring section and the teaching data.

Security is ensured by judging agreement with a specific indication, such as a trademark, whose identity is socially recognizable to effectively expel counterfeits from the market. A game machine in which a CD-ROM 17 is mounted on a game machine 10 to play a game based on program information stored in the CD-ROM 17 comprises a recognition sensor 22 reading a trademark indication region 20 on the exterior surface of the CD-ROM 17, and a judging unit judging whether a specific trademark .TM. is displayed in a trademark indication region, the game based on the program information being prevented from starting or if started stopped when the specific trademark .TM. is not displayed.

A simply-constructed data processing system for a karaoke machine can process data to display a plurality of languages. A data processing apparatus processes data composed of one-byte or two-byte character codes, each representing a character. A display can display characters represented by the character codes. A set of font memory can store the character font of each of the character codes for supplying font data. The font memory is divided into four regions, the first to the fourth, according to the combinations of the first two bits of a character code. Japanese characters can be assigned to the first region as the first character group of the first language based on a shift JIS standard, and Hankul characters can be assigned to the fourth region as the second character group of the second language. An identifying apparatus identifies one of the regions to which a character code corresponds, according to the first two bits of a character code.

A moving picture data compressing unit compresses picture data representing a moving picture in which a foreground moves in front of a predetermined background. A header adding unit adds a header to the compressed moving picture data obtained through the moving picture data compression unit, the header comprising a color code indicating the color of the predetermined background. A header removing unit removes the header from the compressed moving picture data and the header removing unit then extracts the color code indicating the color of the predetermined background from the header. A moving picture data expanding unit expands the compressed moving picture data, the header added to this data having been removed by the header removing unit. An identification data generating unit receives the moving picture data expanded by the moving picture data expanding means, compares the moving picture data with the color code extracted from the header removed from the moving picture data by the header removing unit, and generates identification data which indicates whether each pixel represented by the moving picture data is a pixel of the foreground or a pixel of the predetermined background.

An effect control method, an effect control device with the following configuration is provided on a karaoke system, which is one of audio regenerator or synthesizer systems. That is, a commander 200 is provided on the karaoke system and comprises a reading part 100, which reads out music information comprised of sound information and visual information and the effect control data from CD-ROM 207, a built-in hard disk 101 for storing the music information transmitted from a host database 213, an image regenerating part 102 which regenerates images from said visual information, a sound regenerating part 103, which regenerates sounds of the karaoke accompaniment music from said sound information, an effect setting switch 104 for setting the microphone effect control data, an effector 105 for applying the effects to the sound information and the voice input from microphone on the basis of the effect control data, and controlling line 106 for transmitting the microphone effect control data read by the reading part 100 directly to the effector 105. This karaoke system makes it possible to specify the desired effects easily and flexibly for audio data sets in general and provide automatic controls in giving the effect operation to these data sets, without enlarging the device size.

A television or video game data reception apparatus receives a data signal of television games transmitted from a base station in a wireless manner or through wire on a local station side so that the received data signal is used to play a game. The reception apparatus is provided, in addition to a game operation memory for storing a data signal of a predetermined game, a save memory for storing a predetermined state of a game, for example, at the time of termination of the game. The save memory is write protected when the save memory does not perform save operation so that for example when a game is terminated in the midway thereof, the data of the state at that termination can be saved in accordance with necessity.
