Abstract

Provided is an information processing device capable of accepting operation information from a game controller. An acceptance section accepts operation information from a terminal device different from the game controller. An application execution section executes an application in accordance with operation information accepted by the acceptance section. A delivery processing section transmits application image data to the terminal device. An auxiliary storage device holds input assignment information of the terminal device. The delivery processing section transmits, to the terminal device, input assignment information of the application under execution held by a storage section.

Claims (32)

1. An information processing device capable of accepting operation information from a controller, the information processing device comprising:

an acceptance section adapted to accept operation information from a terminal device different from the controller, the terminal device having at least one input section, for sending operation information, that is not available on the controller;

an execution section adapted to execute an application in accordance with operation information accepted by the acceptance section, the application being configured to, in a manner not possible using operation information from the controller, affect progress of the application according to operation information obtained from the at least one input section;

a delivery processing section adapted to transmit application image data to the terminal device; and

a storage section adapted to hold input assignment information of the terminal device, wherein

the delivery processing section transmits, to the terminal device, input assignment information of the application under execution held by the storage section.

2. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein the delivery processing section transmits, to the terminal device, input assignment information between the controller and the terminal device if input assignment information of the application under execution is not held by the storage section.

3. The information processing device of claim 1 , further comprising: a conversion processing section adapted to acquire input conversion information from the application executed by the execution section, convert operation information of the terminal device into operation information to be reflected in the processing of the application on the basis of the input conversion information, and provide the operation information to the application.

4. The information processing device of claim 3 , wherein the conversion processing section acquires assignment type information from the terminal device and converts operation information of the terminal device into operation information to be reflected in the processing of the application using the assignment type information.

5. The information processing device of claim 3 , wherein the conversion processing section provides coordinate-related information included in the operation information of the touch pad to the application in addition to operation information of a touch pad of the terminal device into operation information to be reflected in the processing of the application and providing the operation information to the application.

6. An information processing system comprising:

an information processing device capable of accepting operation information from a controller; and

a terminal device different from the controller, the terminal device including:

a transmission section adapted to transmit operation information;

a reception section adapted to receive application image data; and

a reproduction section adapted to reproduce received application image data and show the data on a display device; and

the information processing device including:

an acceptance section adapted to accept operation information from the terminal device;

an execution section adapted to execute an application in accordance with operation information accepted by the acceptance section;

a delivery processing section adapted to transmit application image data to the terminal device; and

a storage section adapted to hold input assignment information of the terminal device, wherein

the delivery processing section transmits, to the terminal device, input assignment information of the application under execution held by the storage section,

the terminal device has at least one input section, for sending operation information, that is not available on the controller, and

the application is configured to, in a manner not possible using operation information from the controller, affect progress of the application according to operation information obtained from the at least one input section.

7. An information processing device capable of accepting operation information from a controller, the information processing device comprising:

an input acceptance section adapted to accept given operation information from a terminal device different from the controller;

a display section adapted to show first and second input sections when given operation information is accepted by the input acceptance section, the first input section showing a screen for the information processing device, and the second input section showing a screen for an information processing device different from the information processing device;

an image data generation section adapted to generate an image for the information processing device when the first input section is selected;

an image data acquisition section adapted to acquire image data generated by the information processing device different from the information processing device when the second input section is selected; and

an execution section adapted to execute an application in accordance with operation information accepted by the acceptance section; wherein

the terminal device has at least one input section, for sending operation information, that is not available on the controller, and

the application is configured to, in a manner not possible using operation information from the controller, affect progress of the application according to operation information obtained from the at least one input section.
