Abstract: A first information processing apparatus includes a first message acceptance unit which accepts input of a first message and a first message transmission unit which transmits the accepted first message and first character information to a server. A second information processing apparatus includes a second message acceptance unit which accepts input of a second message and a second message transmission unit which transmits the accepted second message and second character information to the server. The first information processing apparatus further includes a representation output unit which has a display unit display in chronological order, the first message brought in correspondence with a first character based on the first character information and the second message brought in correspondence with a second character based on the second character information obtained through the server and a reproduction output unit which provides audio output of the first message and the second message.

Abstract: In an information processing system in which a plurality of terminals can communicate data through a server, a first terminal includes a question event processing portion which executes a question event to have a character displayed to a user who operates the first terminal and to output question information in association with the character, an answer acceptance portion which accepts input of answer information to the question information, and an answer transmission portion which transmits the answer information accepted by the answer acceptance portion to the server. A second terminal includes an answer reception portion which receives the answer information from the server and an answer event processing portion which executes an answer event to have a character displayed to a user who operates the second terminal based on the answer information received by the answer reception portion and to output the answer information in association with the character.

Abstract: A server which can communicate with a plurality of terminals includes an information obtaining unit obtaining position information of each terminal and operation information on an operation onto an operation unit provided on a surface of each terminal, a position determination unit determining whether obtained position information of one terminal and position information of at least one other terminal satisfy a first prescribed condition, an operation determination unit determining whether obtained operation information of one terminal and operation information of at least one other terminal satisfy a second prescribed condition, and a registration manager having information on a user of one terminal and information on a user of at least one other terminal registered in correspondence with each other when both of the first prescribed condition and the second prescribed condition are satisfied.

Abstract: An example information-processing device (10) includes an image capture unit (110) that captures a video of a subject, an image generation unit (120) that generates plural avatars based on plural images constituting the video captured by the image capture unit (110), the plural images corresponding respectively to different image capture timings, each of the plural avatars representing a subject shown in one of the plural images, and a display unit (130) that displays the plural avatars generated by the image generation unit (120).

Abstract: An exemplary group selection screen shows groups in which users share a message, so that any of the groups is selectable. In an avatar display area (Ar12) for each group, avatars (Av1) of not more than five users belonging to a group, who have recently posted a message, are displayed. An arrangement of the avatars (Av1) is determined based on a posting time and date of a latest message posted by each user represented by an avatar (Av1). In an avatar display area (Ar12), a message included in a balloon is displayed, which message has been posted by a user represented by a displayed avatar (Av1).

Abstract: An exemplary communication terminal (10) includes a first accepting unit (115), a second accepting unit (116), a third accepting unit (117), and a sending unit (118). The first accepting unit (115) accepts an input of a message. The second accepting unit (116) accepts a selection of an image to be associated with the message. The third accepting unit (117) accepts a transmission instruction to send a set of message information indicative of the message and image information indicative of the image. The sending unit (118) sends the set of the message information and the image information to another communication terminal (10) in response to receipt of a transmission instruction by the third accepting unit (117).
