Display device, game system, and game method
First Claim
1. A game system comprising a console type game device, a controller device, a portable display device, and a first infrared emitter,the game device comprising:
- a first receiver configured to receive first operation data from the controller device;
a game processor configured to perform game processes based at least in part on the first operation data;
an image processor configured to generate first game images and second game images based on the game processes;
a compression circuit configured to compress the first game images to generate compressed image data;
a first wireless transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit the compressed image data to the portable display device; and
an output configured to output the second game images to an external display device which is separate from the portable display device,the portable display device comprising;
a second infrared emitter;
a second receiver configured to receive the compressed image data from the game device;
a decompression circuit configured to decompress the compressed image data to obtain the first game images; and
a display configured to display the first game images obtained by the decompressing,the controller device comprising;
an infrared detector configured to detect infrared light from at least the first infrared emitter;
a first inertia sensor;
at least one operation button; and
a second wireless transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit the first operation data to the game device, wherein the first operation data includes infrared detector data, inertia sensor data, and operation button data.

Abstract
An example game system includes a home-console type game device, a controller device, and a portable display device. The portable display device includes an infrared emitter capable of emitting infrared light. The controller device wirelessly transmits to the game device operation image data from an image-capturing section, inertia sensor data, and operation button data. The game device receives the operation data from the controller device, and performs game processes based on the operation data. Moreover, the game device compresses first game images, which are generated based on the game processes, to generate compressed image data. The compressed image data is wirelessly transmitted to the portable display device. The portable display device receives the compressed image data from the game device, expands the compressed image data to obtain the game images, and displays the game images.
