A game management device manages a game to be played by selecting with a touch operation, a selectable target from a plurality of selectable targets (for example, pitch types) displayed on a screen. A display control unit display the plurality of selectable targets (for example, a strike pitch location and a ball pitch location) on the screen. An area setting unit sets a plurality of parameter areas respectively corresponding to the plurality of parameters (for example, a strike location and a ball location) within the screen. When performing an operation of moving a selected target to one of the plurality of parameter areas, a parameter setting unit sets a parameter corresponding to the parameter area to which the selected target is moved, the selected target being selected from among the plurality of selectable targets with the contact operation.

A game device controls a game in which an action is applied to a movable object. A prediction accepting unit accepts a prediction made by a user on a movement parameter of the movable object when a predetermined operation of making a prediction is performed by the user. A moving unit decides the movement parameter of the movable object. A determination unit determines a result of the prediction made by the user based on movement parameters respectively predicted by the user and decided by the moving unit. A display control unit displays an arrival point area indicating an expected arrival position of the movable object in an active area in which the action can be applied to the movable object, and changes a size of the arrival point area based on a result of determination by the determination unit.

A communication apparatus communicates with another communication apparatus. The communication apparatus includes a first communication unit configured to receive serial data from a first communication apparatus that is serially connected to the communication apparatus; a modulation unit configured to modulate the serial data received by the first communication unit into data other than the serial data to generate transmission data; and a second communication unit configured to perform first unicast transmission which involves transmitting the transmission data by designating a second communication apparatus as a transmission destination and second unicast transmission which involves transmitting the transmission data by designating a third communication apparatus as a transmission destination.

Communication apparatus, communication method and integrated circuit

A first element and a second element are disposed in postures such that the length directions of the elements are parallel to each other. The first element is disposed in a posture such that a pair of opposing surfaces where a longitudinal flow passage is open is parallel to one main plate. The second element is disposed in a posture such that a pair of opposing surfaces where a longitudinal flow passage is open is parallel to the one main plate. A mixing flow passage formed as a result of the first element and the second element being disposed with a gap therebetween in a facing direction of side plates is provided between a transverse flow passage of the first element and a transverse flow passage of the second element.

Ventilation device

A communication band is divided into: a beacon period in which every master station transmits a beacon packet in competition with one another; a guaranteed-band period (e.g., a TDMA period or an FDMA period) in which only a specific permitted station is allowed access; and a CSMA period in which every station is allowed access in competition with one another. Plural master stations exchange information of a communication band used in the guaranteed-band period with each other, and based on the respective information, a communication band available to the master station's own communications system in the guaranteed-band period is calculated.

Master station in communications system and access control method

A communication device that establishes a communication with another communication device and supplies electric power to the other communication device by way of a transmission channel, the device comprises a supply voltage generation section that generates a supply voltage, a first detection section that detects a connection of an electric device other than the other communication device to the transmission channel, and an output control section that controls a supply of electric power to the other communication device, wherein the output control section supplies no power to the other communication device when the first detection section detects the connection of the electric device.

A manager evaluation value setting unit sets a manager evaluation value indicating a management ability of a manager character to manage player characters. A player evaluation value setting unit sets a player evaluation value used to evaluate the player character according to an ability value indicating an ability of the player character. An evaluation difference value calculating unit calculates an evaluation difference value indicating a difference between the manager evaluation value and the player evaluation value when the manager evaluation value is lower than the player evaluation value. A management ability setting unit changes the manager evaluation value to reduce the management ability of the manager character as the evaluation difference value increases.

Game control system recording medium and game system control method

A terminal of the present invention comprises a control frame detection portion of detecting a control frame issued from a control station, a control frame memory portion of storing control information contained in the control frame, a substitute frame issuance determination portion of determining to issue a substitute frame when the control frame is not detected until a predetermined first time period is elapsed, and a substitute frame issuance portion of creating a frame which is the same as or equivalent to the control frame, as the substitute frame, based on the control information stored in the control frame memory portion when the substitute frame issuance determination portion determines to issue the substitute frame, and issuing the created substitute frame.

A communication bandwidth is divided into a beacon period in which all master stations compete for transmission of a beacon packet, a first carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) period in which only authorized specific stations are allowed to compete for access, and a second CSMA period in which all stations are allowed to compete for access. The master stations exchange information with each other about a communication bandwidth being used in the first CSMA period, thereby calculating a communication bandwidth which can be used by each communication system in the first CSMA period, based on the information.

A player can be prevented from successively using an object that affects the outcome of a match in a network competition game executed among a plurality of clients via a network. An object is selected at the end of a match event of competition game by a client on the basis of action frequency of an object that has participated in a match event. Next, a notification about the object selected at this point is sent to a server and the object is managed in the server as an object that can not appear in a new match event. A notification about the object being managed in the server is sent to the client if a new match event is to be executed in the client. At this point, the client executes a process for selecting an object from among a plurality of objects excluding the notified object.

Terminal devices F and G store statistical information related to interference from an external communication system, and notify the stored statistical information to a master station E. The master station E determines the terminal device G as a candidate station for a master station capability handover destination based on collected statistical information. The master station E requests to hand over a master station capability to the terminal device G. If it is determined that the terminal device G accepts handover of the master station capability, the terminal device G starts to act as the master station.
