  • Publication number: 20220222288
    Abstract: When retrieving information relating to another user of a different SNS, the CVR of an SNS can be effectively increased by displaying a social graph. According to the invention, by means of a social graph display program (API), user identifying information corresponding to user-to-user relationship information meeting predetermined conditions can be extracted by searching a database of information related to the other users of application programs A-C, in accordance with identifying information of a user A who has made a friend request. Thus the application program A displays, as candidates for the friend request, users corresponding to user identifying information returned from the social graph display program (API).

  • Publication number: 20220219074
    Abstract: A game processing device includes a scene determination portion, a sound recognition portion, a conformity determination portion, and an action controller. The scene determination portion determines whether a scene is an input scene in which sound input information can be input. The sound recognition portion, at an input scene, recognizes sound that is input as the sound input information. The conformity determination portion determines a degree of conformity between (a) the sound input information that is recognized and (b) reference information. The action controller changes an action effect according to the degree of conformity.
