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).

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: An exemplary information processing apparatus performs predetermined information processing in accordance with an attitude of an input member having an imaging device and an attitude sensor. The information processing apparatus calculates a first position according to the attitude of the input member by using imaging information based on an image including a predetermined imaging target captured by the imaging device. Further, the information processing apparatus calculates a second position according to the attitude of the input member, which position is on a predetermined straight line or a predetermined plane, by using a result of detection of the attitude sensor. When the first position is calculable, the predetermined information processing is performed by using a control position based on at least the first position. When the first position is incalculable, the predetermined information processing is performed by using a control position based on at least the second position.

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).
