Abstract: When any one of a plurality of types of first operations respectively corresponding to a plurality of types of commands associated with each playable character is performed and the commands are executable, an example of an information processing system performs control such that an operation target character performs actions corresponding to the commands. When a second operation is performed, the information processing system switches the operation target character to another character among a plurality of the playable characters. When a third operation is performed in a state where a character included in a first set is the operation target character, and a first special character is appearable, the information processing system performs control such that the first special character appears in a virtual space and is set as the operation target character.

Abstract: A content provision system includes a content server and a terminal, and a plurality of pieces of additional content including first and second content used in an application are provided from the content server to the terminal. The terminal transmits acquisition completion information to the content server when any one of the first content and the second content is acquired, and transmits acquisition incompletion information to the content server when none of the first content and the second content is acquired. The content server performs a billing process and provides additional content designated from the terminal to the terminal when the acquisition completion information is received, and provides one of the first and second content designated from the terminal to the terminal without performing the billing process when the acquisition incompletion information is received.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing system to improve enjoyment in information processing using data obtained in non-contact communication. The information processing system includes a dedicated figure, a non-contact communication unit, a processing unit, and a first storage unit. The dedicated figure is configured to store data and has a non-contact communication function. The non-contact communication unit is configured to read data from the dedicated figure by using the non-contact communication function of the dedicated figure. The processing unit performs figure data processing based on the data read by the non-contact communication unit. The first storage unit stores the number of times of execution of the figure data processing. Processing details of the figure data processing performed by the processing unit depend on the number of times of execution stored in the first storage unit.

Abstract: An example system includes a server and a plurality of terminal devices. Each terminal device includes: a post accepting unit accepting posting from a user; a post information transmitting unit transmitting post information on posting, which has been accepted by the post accepting unit, to the server; a first post information receiving unit receiving post information distributed from the server; a display processing unit performing processing to display post information, which has been received by the first post information receiving unit, at a display unit; an operation accepting unit accepting predetermined operation related to post information displayed by the display processing unit; and an operation information transmitting unit transmitting information on operation, which has been accepted by the operation accepting unit, to the server.

Abstract: An example system includes a server and a plurality of terminal devices. Each terminal device includes: a game processing unit performing processing involved in a game; a post accepting unit accepting posting from a user during the game; and a post information transmitting unit transmitting post information on posting, which has been accepted by the post accepting unit, to the server. The server includes: a first post information receiving unit receiving post information transmitted from a terminal device; and a post information distributing unit distributing post information, which is received by the first post information receiving unit, to one or more terminal devices. Each terminal device further includes: a second post information receiving unit receiving post information distributed from the server; and a display processing unit performing processing to display post information, which is received by the second post information receiving unit, at the display unit during the game.
