Abstract: A browsing service of messages exchanged through posts and responses to the posts among multiple users is provided in a message-browsing system. A terminal device includes an assigning unit assigning user images corresponding to multiple specific users who are a subset or all of the multiple users to respective ones of a number of reference positions that is equal to the number of the user images on a screen according to a predetermined rule, a position determining unit determining the reference positions assigned to the user images corresponding to the multiple specific users as display positions displaying the respective user images, and a position changing unit changing a display position of a user image corresponding to a user responding to a post another user has contributed to a position close to a user image corresponding to another user who has contributed the post.

Abstract: A message-browsing system includes an image storage unit storing user images corresponding to respective multiple users, a motion storage unit storing pieces of motion information defining motions of the images associated with types of feelings or forms of posts, a keyword storage unit storing keywords according to the types of feelings, a determination unit determining whether or not any of the types can be identified from a sentence of a post by determining whether the sentence includes any of the keywords stored in the keyword storage unit, and a setting unit, when a type of feelings can be identified, selecting one of pieces of motion information that corresponds to the identified type of feelings, selecting one piece of motion information that corresponds to a form of the post when the type cannot be identified, and setting a motion of a user image corresponding to the user who has contributed the post based on the selected piece of motion information.

Abstract: To easily grasp relations between posts and responses by other users, when a browsing service for browsing messages exchanged through posts and responses to the posts among multiple users is provided in a message-browsing system, a terminal device 20 includes an assigning unit 254 assigning user images corresponding to multiple specific users who are a subset or all of the multiple users to reference positions as many as the number of the user images on a screen respectively according to a predetermined rule, a position determining unit 255 determining the reference positions assigned to the user images corresponding to the multiple specific users as display positions displaying the user images respectively, and a position changing unit 256 changing a display position of a user image corresponding to a user responding to a message another user posts to a position close to a user image corresponding to the other user posting the message.

Abstract: To make a user interested in a service even if feelings of a sentence cannot be identified, a message-browsing system includes an image storage unit storing user images corresponding to the multiple users, respectively, a motion storage unit storing motion information defining motions of the images associated with types of feelings or forms of posts, a keyword storage unit storing keywords according to the types, a determination unit determining whether or not any of the types can be identified by finding keywords stored in the keyword storage unit in a sentence of a post, and a setting unit, when a type of feelings can be identified, selecting motion information corresponding to the identified feelings, selecting motion information corresponding to a form of the post when the type cannot be identified, and setting a motion of a user image corresponding to the user contributing the post based on the selected motion information.

Abstract: To provide a game device capable of improving reality regarding an operation of a game in which an attack on one or more attack targets is performed. Remaining number-of-times information storage means (70) stores remaining number-of-times information that indicates a remaining number of times an attack on one or more attack targets can be performed. Display means (74) displays a screen that includes a first image, containing a plurality of reference regions, and a second image. Image moving means (72) moves at least one of the first image and the second image according to a direction instructing operation of a player. Remaining number-of-times information update means (76) increases the remaining number of times the attack on one or more attack target can be performed based on a number of one or more reference regions included in a superposition region in which the first image and the second image are superposed on each other.
