CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the benefit of Japanese Priority Patent Application JP 2019-209139 filed Nov. 19, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND

The present technology relates to an operating device that operates according to an instruction received from an information processing device.

An operating device used for operating input to an information processing device may perform various kinds of operation control for force sense presentation, vibration presentation, and the like according to an operation of a user, with an objective of giving feedback to the operation of the user and producing a scene.

SUMMARY

In the technology of the above-described example in the past, when it is difficult for the information processing device to identify a timing at which the operating device performs operation control according to an operation of the user, it is difficult for the information processing device to perform processing interlocked with the control content of the operating device. Incidentally, operation information indicating the content of operation of the user is transmitted to the information processing device. However, it may be difficult to identify the timing at which the operating device performs control according to the operation of the user, from only the operation information, due to a problem of the resolution of data or the like. In that case, a situation in which, even when the information processing device gives an instruction for reproducing sound, at a timing of receiving the operation information for which force sense presentation is to be made, from the operating device, for example, the reproduction of the sound is delayed or is conversely performed too early with respect to the force sense presentation can occur.

The present technology has been made in view of the above-described actual situation. It is desirable to provide an operating device that enables an information processing device to easily grasp a timing at which the operating device performs operation control according to an operation of a user.

An operating device according to an embodiment of the present technology is an operating device connected to an information processing device, the operating device including an information transmitting section configured to receive an operation of a user and transmit operation information indicating content of the operation to the information processing device and a control processing section configured to perform control processing determined in advance according to the operation of the user, the information transmitting section transmitting state information indicating an execution state of the control processing to the information processing device.
