Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a creator and a granting unit. The creator is configured to create a second talk group based on a first talk group on a service on which massage talks are exchanged between plural users. The first talk group consists of a first user group. The second talk group consists of a second user group including one or more users of the first user group. The second user group is different from the first user group. The granting unit is configured to, when the second talk group is created, give to users of the second user group, access authority to access a predetermined range of message talks in the first talk group.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the message talk in the first talk group accessible by the users of the second user group is a message talk within a predetermined period from a time point at which the second talk group is created.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the message talk in the first talk group accessible by the users of the second user group is the predetermined number of message talks from a time point at which the second talk group is created.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the message talk in the first talk group accessible by the users of the second user group is a message talk of a specific user.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the message talk in the first talk group accessible by the users of the second user group is a message talk including a specific keyword.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the message talk in the first talk group accessible by the users of the second user group is a message talk related to a specific topic.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the creator creates the second talk group during exchange of the message talks in the first talk group.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the granting unit gives the access authority to access the predetermined range of the message talks in the first talk group to the users of the second user group after the second talk group is created.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the granting unit gives the access authority to access the predetermined range of the message talks in the first talk group before the second talk group is created.

12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a request unit configured to allow the users of the second user group to request the users of the first user group for access authority to access a range beyond the predetermined range.

13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the granting unit gives new access authority to access the message talks in the first talk group in response to the request from the request unit.
