Abstract
Methods and apparatus provide for: generating image data for an application to be displayed on an output device; recording the image data generated by the image generating unit; and receiving operation information from an input device, where the recording includes storing the image data for an application for a predetermined period of time up to the point in time at which operation information is received during the receiving operation information from a specific input unit provided in the input device while displaying an application image.
Claims9
An information processing device comprising:
- an image generating unit that generates image data for an application to be displayed on an output device;
- a recording unit that records the image data generated by the image generating unit;
- and
- a receiving unit that receives operation information from an input device,
- wherein the recording unit stores image data for an application for a predetermined period of time up to the point in time at which operation information is received when the receiving unit receives operation information from a specific input unit provided in the input device while displaying an application image.
An input device that sends operation information from a user to an information processing device, the input device comprising:
- direction keys for entering operation information for a direction;
- an input unit that inputs operation information for the system software of the information processing device;
- and
- a communication module that sends operation information to an information processing device,
- wherein the communication module sends operation information to the information processing device to store image data for an application for a predetermined period of time up to the point in time at which the operation is performed when the input unit is operated while the information processing device is displaying an application image.
A method, comprising:
- generating image data for an application to be displayed on an output device;
- recording the image data generated by the image generating unit;
- and
- receiving operation information from an input device,
- wherein the recording includes storing the image data for an application for a predetermined period of time up to the point in time at which operation information is received during the receiving operation information from a specific input unit provided in the input device while displaying an application image.
