  • Patent number: 11112961
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing system, an information processing method, and a program capable of adaptively controlling a display on a display surface in response to an operation of moving an object in a certain display surface with respect to a transfer object. The information processing system includes a processing unit that performs, on a first display surface, a predetermined display control indicating that one or more pieces of display information in a second display surface corresponding to the first display surface is changed to be operable in the first display surface when a first operation for a first user to move a first object to a detection area having a predetermined positional relationship with one or more predetermined transfer objects positioned in the first display surface, and changes a display state of the second display surface based on a detection result of a second operation by the first user after the first operation.

  • Publication number: 20120290935
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus including a script management unit for injecting a script for monitoring an operation, by a user who directly operates content, on content of the user into the content, and communicating with the script injected into the content, and a user operation information transmission unit for receiving details of the user operation detected by the script, and transmitting the details to an external server device. When a cursor position is received from the script as the details of the user operation, the user operation information transmission unit transforms the cursor position that the script has acquired into a cursor position with respect to a reference position on a screen and transmits the cursor position to the server device.
