There is provided an information processing device () including a first acquisition unit () that acquires, according to an input from a first user, a control command including presentation unit information designating a presentation unit that presents a haptic stimulus by a haptic presentation device, and form information designating a form of the haptic stimulus, a generation unit () that generates, according to the control commands, a first haptic control signal to present the haptic stimulus to the presentation unit; and a first distribution unit () that distributes the first haptic control signal to the haptic presentation device worn on a body of each of a plurality of second users designated by the input by the first user.

Information processing device, information processing method, program, and information processing system

Erroneous insertion of a battery into an imaging device is prevented. In a battery loading and unloading mechanism, a battery is formed with projecting portions at longitudinal both ends of a back surface and along back surface, the back surface being a surface opposite to an insertion surface of the battery, whereby even the battery formed in a flat rectangular parallelepiped and having the almost-square main surface can be prevented from being erroneously inserted into the device. The projecting portion has an inclined surface acutely inclined with respect to the back surface, and when the battery is unloaded from the device, unloading of the battery from the device is accelerated by the inclined surface undergoing contact pressure of the retaining means.

Battery loading and unloading mechanism

A controller may include first and second input operating sections to input an instruction, and a control unit to control selection of an object on a screen display based on an instruction input at the first and second input operating sections. When an enter instruction is input at one of the first and second input operating sections following input of a movement instruction at the other of the first and second input operating sections, the control unit may control start of a function of an object at a position indicated based on the input of the movement instruction at the other of the input operating sections.

Information processing system and information processing apparatus

An information processing apparatus includes an information processing apparatus main body and a remote controller capable of controlling the information processing apparatus main body. The information processing apparatus main body includes a connection unit capable of being connected with an electronic apparatus, a first storage unit to store model identification information, and a control unit to perform control so that display information of a model selection screen for causing a user to select a model of the electronic apparatus with the remote controller is supplied to the electronic apparatus, the model is determined, and model identification information corresponding to the model is transmitted to the remote controller. The remote controller includes a plurality of keys, a transmission unit, a second storage unit to store a list of control codes assigned to the plurality of keys, and an assignment unit to assign the control codes to the plurality of keys.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

In a battery loading and unloading mechanism, a battery formed in a flat rectangular parallelepiped and having an almost square main surface is loaded and unloaded to and from a device. The battery is formed with projecting portions at longitudinal both ends of a back surface thereof and along the back surface, whereby the battery can be prevented from being erroneously inserted into the device. The projecting portion has an inclined surface acutely inclined with respect to the back surface, and when the battery is unloaded from the device, unloading of the battery from the device is accelerated by the inclined surface undergoing contact pressure of the retaining means. The device is formed with a notched portion which is adapted to expose the other projecting portion of the battery when the battery is loaded, thereby facilitating unloading of the battery.

In a battery including a battery cell formed in a flattened substantially parallelepiped shape and a terminal contacting section electrically connected to the battery cell, at one end in the longitudinal direction of a face of the battery opposing to the face on which the terminal contacting section is provided, a projecting portion which projects in the longitudinal direction of the face is provided. Meanwhile, another projecting portion which projects in the longitudinal direction of the face is provided at the other end. The projecting portions may have projecting lengths different from each other or may have projecting lengths and projecting thicknesses different from each other. A charging apparatus into which the battery is to be installed includes an accommodating section for the battery which in turn includes projection accommodating portions configured to individually accommodate the projecting portions.

Battery, charging apparatus and electronic device

A remote controlling system is disclosed. An infrared remote controller generates a first serial signal containing a command corresponding to a user's operation and outputs the first serial signal by infrared communication. A radio remote controller generates a code signal containing a key number corresponding to a user's operation and outputs the code signal by radio communication. An electronic device includes a light receiving section, a radio receiving section, a selecting section, and a controlling section.

Remote controlling system, electronic device, and controlling method

In a battery () including a battery cell formed in a flattened substantially parallelepiped shape and a terminal contacting section () electrically connected to the battery cell, at one end in the longitudinal direction of a face of the battery opposing to the face on which the terminal contacting section () is provided, a projecting portion () which projects in the longitudinal direction of the face is provided. Meanwhile, another projecting portion () which projects in the longitudinal direction of the face is provided at the other end. The projecting portions () may have projecting lengths different from each other or may have projecting lengths and projecting thicknesses different from each other. A charging apparatus into which the battery () is to be installed includes an accommodating section () for the battery () which in turn includes projection accommodating portions (and) configured to individually accommodate the projecting portions (and). The accommodating section () includes a space for accommodating a battery (D,E) wherein the battery cell has a rectangular principal face and another space for accommodating another battery () wherein the battery cell has a substantially square principal face, and charging terminals serve as charging terminals not only for the battery () but also for the battery (D,E).

Disclosed herein is an imaging device including a battery compartment having an opening for insertion and ejection of a battery, a battery release lever for allowing the insertion of the battery into the battery compartment through the opening and the ejection of the battery from the battery compartment through the opening, and a battery lid for openably closing the opening of the battery compartment. The battery release lever is located adjacent to the battery lid so as not to be substantially covered with the battery lid in its closed condition. Accordingly, the position of the battery release lever can be visually recognized even in the closed condition of the battery lid.
