An information processing device includes an operation information acquisition section, a setting screen image generation section, and a display controlling section. The operation information acquisition section acquires operation information from a controller. The setting screen image generation section generates a setting screen image for the controller. The display controlling section causes a display device to display the setting screen image for the controller. The setting screen image for the controller includes an image that indicates both a sensitivity and a dead zone of an analog stick provided on the controller in a common scale.

Information processing device for simultaneously adjusting sensitivity and dead zone of a controller

The present invention is intended to realize character string input using two or more devices by an efficient technique. A character string input system includes a first information processing apparatus and a second information processing apparatus. The first information processing apparatus acquires an operation done on a first input device and acquires a first character string on the basis of the acquired operation. The second information processing apparatus acquires an operation done on a second input device and acquires a second character string on the basis of the acquired operation. The first information processing apparatus outputs an input character string on the basis of the first character string acquired by the time input of the second character string is started by use of the second input device and the second character string.

Character string input system

An information processing apparatus is provided in which, if a plurality of users alternately use manipulation devices, who is to execute a manipulation input through which manipulation device can be guided in an easy-to-understand manner. An information processing apparatus connected with a plurality of manipulation devices to receive manipulation inputs from a plurality of users is configured to hold allocation information for allocating each of the plurality of manipulation devices to each of the plurality of users and display, on a screen of a display apparatus, a guide image including information for identifying a user before change and information for identifying a user after change if, in the allocation information, a user to whom any one of the plurality of manipulation devices is allocated is changed.

Information processing apparatus

A picked up image displaying unit displays a picked up image on a display unit. A face authentication unit detects a face image of a registered user existing in the picked up image using face identification data retained in a registered user information retaining block. A position designation image processing unit displays a position designation image for designating a position of an object for the detected registered user on the display unit. An object authentication unit detects that an object image is included in the region designated by the position designation image.

To make it possible to exclusively treat an operating input to a touch sensor or an operating input to an operating key different from the touch center as an operating input serving as a basis for the performance of processing. A processing executing section performs processing according to an operating input to a touch sensor or an operating input to an operating section. When the operating inputs to both of the touch sensor and the operating section are received, the processing executing section performs only processing according to one of the operating inputs.

Information processing device, information processing method, program, and information storage medium

An image obtaining sectionobtains an imaged image from an imaging device. A face authenticating sectiondetects a face image of a registered user present in the imaged image using face identifying data retained in a registered user information retaining section. A damage determining sectiondetermines whether or not the face identifying data read from the registered user information retaining sectionby a face data reading sectionis damaged. If the face identifying data is determined to be damaged, a notifying sectionnotifies that the face identifying data is damaged.

Information processing device

A streaming data acquisition section acquires streaming data distributed from a server and including an application image, and a streaming data reproduction section reproduces the streaming data. A command input acceptance section accepts a command input to an application inputted by a user. A command transmission section transmits the inputted command. The command is provided to an information processing apparatus of a distributor of the streaming data and is reflected on processing of the application being executed in the information processing apparatus.

A communication section receives a connection request from a game controller to connect the game controller with an information processing apparatus. A registered user information holding section holds biometric information of a user registered in the information processing apparatus. A biometric authentication portion compares biometric information of a user included in a taken image with biometric information held in the registered user information holding section to determine whether the imaged user is a user registered in the information processing apparatus. After the imaged user is found to be a user registered in the information processing apparatus, a login controller executes login processing of the user, or to be more specific, stores information for identifying a device included in the taken image and information for identifying the user into a login user storage portion by relating these items of information with each other.

Information processing apparatus for determining registered users in a system

A taken-image display unit displays a taken image on a display. By use of face identification data held in a registered user information holding section, a face authentication unit detects a face image of a registered user existing in a taken image. A face frame processing unit displays a face frame on the display for the detected registered user. If, when the face frame is being displayed, the face authentication unit detects by use of the face identification data held in the user information holding section that the face image of the registered user is included in the face frame, a login processing unit lets this user log in.

A login controller has a function of allowing a user to log in to an information processing apparatus. A sign-in controller has a function of allowing the user to sign in to a network service provided by a server. At login time, a login information receiving unit receives a pass code input by the user for login authentication. A login processing unit performs login authentication using the received pass code. If it is determined that the pass code received by the login processing unit is incorrect, a sign-in processing unit causes the user to sign out of the network service. When the user again signs in to the network service, a screen generating unit receives the pass code for login authentication. A registration processing section then registers the received pass code in a registered user information holding section as a new pass code.

Disclosed herein is an information processor configured to register user face identification data, the information processor including: a captured image display section adapted to display part of a captured image on a display; a guidance display section adapted to display, on the display, guidance prompting a user to rotate his or her face relative to an imaging device; and a registration processing section adapted to register face identification data based on user's face image included in the captured image after or while the guidance is displayed.
