Electronic pet system, network system, robot, and storage medium

An electronic pet system comprising:

• an information processing device having radio transmission/reception means capable of radio-transmitting and receiving the internal state of an electronic pet, which is changed in accordance with input information and is information for causing the electronic pet to act, and image display means, the information processing device being adapted for carrying out processing for implementing the electronic pet by the image display means;
• and
• a robot having radio transmission/reception means capable of radio-transmitting and receiving the internal state of the electronic pet, which is changed in accordance with input information and is information for causing the electronic pet to act, and a motion section for moving in the real world, the robot being adapted for controlling the motion section to carry out processing for implementing the electronic pet as an existence in the real world.

A network system comprising:

• one or more implementation devices having transmission/reception means capable of transmitting and receiving the internal state of a living body object, which is changed in accordance with input information and is information for causing the living body object to act, and the identification information of the living body object, thus implementing the living body object;
• a server device having management means for managing the internal state of the living body object and the identification information of the living body object, and transmission/reception means capable of transmitting/receiving at least the internal state and the identification information;
• wherein the implementation devices and the server device are connected with each other via a network.

A robot adapted for storing the internal state of a living body object, which is changed in accordance with input information and is information for causing the living body object to act, and for controlling a motion section to carry out processing for implementing the living body object as an existence in the real world,

• wherein the robot transfers at least the internal state to an information processing device, which controls the action of a living body object acting in a virtual world on the basis of the internal state of the living body object in the robot and carries out processing for displaying at least the virtual world and the living body object.

The robot as claimed in claim 44, wherein when the internal state parameter has reached the threshold value, a plurality of actions are selected and one of the actions is actually carried out.

A storage medium which is adapted for storing data usable in an information processing device and can be inserted to/ejected from a slot provided in the information processing device,

• the storage medium having indication means for indicating an accurate loading position when loaded in the slot of the information processing device.
