Abstract: A method for launching interactive content including associating one or more templates with a corresponding one or more activities of an interactive content title and transmitting the one or more templates to a platform server. The method includes selecting and displaying a set of templates generated from the one or more templates received on a user device. The method includes launching the activity in the interactive title based on a template selected by a user.

Abstract: A system and method for making context-based action suggestions is provided. Data regarding one or more activities may be stored in memory. Such activities may be associated with an interactive content title and one or more actions. Information regarding a current user status for each activity may be received by a server. A set of one or more activities available to a user based on the current user status may be identified. One or more actions may be filtered based on availability to the user and the current user status for each identified activity. A subset of the filtered actions may be displayed.

Abstract: In the case where an event occurs in game software being executed, an event information acquiring section acquires, from the game software, event information including an event code that identifies the event that has occurred. An update processing section updates a record associated with the acquired event information in a first memory. A transmission processing section sends the acquired event information from a communication unit to outside.

Abstract: A first ring buffer records a game moving image by game software currently being executed, together with time information. In a case where an event is generated in a game, an event information acquiring part acquires event information including an event code that identifies the generated event, from the game software. A second ring buffer records therein the acquired event information together with the time information synchronized with the first ring buffer.

Abstract: A login management section 112 allows a user to log in to an information processing apparatus 10. A status management section 120 manages the status of the information processing apparatus 10. A change instruction acceptance section 144 accepts an instruction for change from a server. When the user has logged in to the information processing apparatus 10 that in turn has signed in to a service, the status management section 120 manages the information processing apparatus 10 in either an active status or a listen status. The active status is a status in which the information processing apparatus 10 is in an online state and allowed to use the service, and the listen status is a status in which the information processing apparatus 10 is in an offline state that disables game execution and is allowed to use the service.

Abstract: An information processing system is provided which determines whether a session in which an invited user has been invited to participate is still valid or not before participation in the session. The information processing system includes: storing status information indicating whether each of a plurality of sessions offering a service possibly participated in by the user is valid or not; and storing a plurality of items of invitation information about a plurality of invitations each being an invitation for the invited user to participate in one of the sessions. Each client device acquires one of the plurality of items of invitation information about the invitation for the user using the client device to become the invited user, and displays on a display screen the acquired item of invitation information in a manner reflecting the status information.

Abstract: A storing section stores an invitation message giving an invitation to an application to be executed by another information processing apparatus. An information displaying section displays the invitation messages on a display device. At this point, the information displaying section displays a valid invitation message and an invalid invitation message in a manner different from each other. The information displaying section may further display an unread invitation message and a read invitation message in a manner different from each other.

Abstract: When a communication unit receives a connection request from a device, a selection screen generating unit provides a selection screen for selecting a registered user. A login user storage unit separately stores information identifying a primary user who logged in first and information identifying one or more secondary users who logged in second or thereafter. Specifically, the login user storage unit stores the information identifying the primary user in association with information indicating initial login. An application startup unit starts an application upon receipt of a start instruction from the device used by the primary user but does not start the application when given the start instruction from the device used by the secondary user.
