Abstract

A method of controlling an information processing device related to a content platform including transmitting content information relating to content to a user's terminal device, receiving action information relating to actions transmitted from one or more other users' terminal devices with respect to a content situation of the content from a distribution information processing device related to a distribution platform that is configured to distribute the content situation that progresses on the user's terminal device to the one or more other users' terminal devices, and associating benefit information relating to the content with the user in a case where the action satisfies conditions on the basis of the action information may be provided. Also provided is a device and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for performing the method.

Claims (39)

1. A server related to a content platform, the server configured to perform:

transmitting content information relating to content to a user's terminal device;

receiving action information relating to actions, the action information having been transmitted from one or more other users' terminal devices with respect to a content situation of the content, via a distribution information processing device related to a distribution platform;

receiving first identification information in the distribution platform from the distribution information processing device, the distribution information processing device configured to distribute the content situation of the content progressing on the user's terminal device to the one or more other users' terminal devices;

associating first identification information in the distribution platform with second identification information in the content platform, the second identification information in the content platform being different from the first identification information in the distribution platform; and

associating first benefit information relating to the content with the user in response to the actions satisfying a first condition based on the action information.

2. The server of claim 1 , wherein the server is further configured to perform transmitting the first benefit information associated in the associating to the user's terminal device.

3. The server of claim 1 , wherein the server is further configured to perform

transmitting a request for transmission of the action information to the distribution information processing device based on first identification information in the distribution platform.

4. The server of claim 1 , wherein the first condition includes information as to whether a total number of the actions exceeds a threshold.

5. The server of claim 1 , wherein the server is further configured to perform

generating access information on access to the content platform, which relates to the one or more other users' terminal devices, in accordance with a generation request transmitted from the user's terminal device,

transmitting the access information to the user's terminal device, and

associating second benefit information relating to the content with another user's terminal device having accessed the content platform in accordance with the access information distributed from the user's terminal device through the distribution information processing device, the another user's terminal device being among the one or more other user's terminal devices.

6. The server of claim 5 , wherein the server is further configured to perform associating third benefit information relating to the content with the user in a case where another user's terminal device having accessed the content platform satisfies a second condition based on the action information.

7. The server of claim 3 , wherein the server is configured to perform the transmitting a request for transmission of the action information and the receiving action information relating to actions through an application program interface (API).

8. The server of claim 1 , wherein the content platform is a game platform, and the content is a game.

9. An information processing device related to a content platform, comprising:

a memory configured to store computer-readable instructions; and

one or more processors configured to execute the computer-readable instructions such that the one or more processors are configured to,

transmit content information relating to content to a user's terminal device,

receive action information relating to actions, the action information having been transmitted from one or more other users' terminal devices with respect to a content situation of the content, via a distribution information processing device related to a distribution platform,

receive first identification information in the distribution platform from the distribution information processing device, the distribution information processing device configured to distribute the content situation of the content progressing on the user's terminal device to the one or more other users' terminal devices,

associate the first identification information in the distribution platform with second identification information in the content platform, the second identification information in the content platform being different from the first identification information in the distribution platform, and

associate first benefit information relating to the content with the user in response to the actions satisfying a first condition based on the action information.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing program that, when executed by a processor in an information processing device, causes the information processing device related to a content platform to perform a method for information processing, the method comprising:

transmitting content information relating to content to a user's terminal device;

receiving action information relating to actions, the action information having been transmitted from one or more other users' terminal devices with respect to a content situation of the content, via a distribution information processing device related to a distribution platform;

receiving first identification information in the distribution platform from the distribution information processing device, the distribution information processing device configured to distribute the content situation of the content progressing on the user's terminal device to the one or more other users' terminal devices;

associating first identification information in the distribution platform with second identification information in the content platform, the second identification in the content platform being different from the first identification information in the distribution platform; and

associating first benefit information relating to the content with the user in response to the actions satisfying a first condition based on the action information.

11. The server of claim 3 , wherein the server is further configured to perform receiving the action information that has been transmitted from the one or more other users' terminal devices to the distribution information processing device from the distribution information processing device in response to a request for transmission of the action information.

12. The information processing device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to,

transmit a request for transmission of the action information to the distribution information processing device based on the first identification information in the distribution platform, and

receive the action information that has been transmitted from the one or more other users' terminal devices to the distribution information processing device from the distribution information processing device in response to the request for transmission of the action information.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 10 , wherein the method further includes,

transmitting a request for transmission of the action information to the distribution information processing device based on the first identification information in the distribution platform, and

receiving the action information that has been transmitted from the one or more other users' terminal devices to the distribution information processing device from the distribution information processing device in response to the request for transmission of the action information.

14. The server of claim 1 , wherein the first identification information is identification information of the user in the distribution platform and the second identification information is identification information of the user in content platform.
