Abstract

An information processing system includes: a first receiving unit that receives, from a first user, an instruction to distribute content that the first user owns to a second user; a distribution unit that distributes the content to the second user based on the instruction; a storage unit that stores information that the content is distributed by the distribution unit; a second receiving unit that receives, from a third user, a request to use content that the third user owns; and an execution unit that executes processing in accordance with the request in a case where the content identified by the request is determined as content that has been distributed by the distribution unit, based on the information stored in the storage unit.

Claims (39)

1. An information processing system comprising:

at least one storage; and

at least one processor programmed to:

receive, from a first user, an instruction to distribute content that the first user owns to a second user;

distribute the content to the second user based on the instruction;

store, in the at least one storage, information that the content is distributed by the at least one processor;

receive, from a third user, a request to use content that the third user owns; and

execute processing in accordance with the request in a case where the content identified by the request is determined as content that has been distributed by the at least one processor, based on the information stored in the at least one storage, wherein

the at least one processor does not execute the processing in a case where the content identified by the request is determined, based on the information stored in the at least one storage, as having been distributed without involving the at least one processor.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one processor deletes the content owned by the third user in the case where the content identified by the request is determined as having been distributed without involving the at least one processor.

3. The information processing system according to claim 2 ,

wherein, in the case where the content identified by the request is determined as having been distributed without involving the at least one processor, the at least one processor notifies any user that has owned the content that the content has been distributed without involving the at least one processor.

4. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in the case where the content identified by the request is determined as having been distributed without involving the at least one processor, the at least one processor notifies any user that has owned the content that the content has been distributed without involving the at least one processor.

5. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the content identified by the request is determined as having been distributed by the at least one processor, the at least one processor notifies a user having authority to permit a user to use the content, of the request.

6. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the content identified by the request is determined as having been distributed by the at least one processor, the at least one processor executes the processing to permit the third user to use the content.

7. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the content identified by the request is determined as having been distributed by the at least one processor based on the information stored in the at least one storage, the at least one processor distributes the content in accordance with the request.

8. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the content identified by the request is determined as having been distributed without involving the at least one processor, the at least one processor does not distribute the content.

9. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one storage further stores information of a user by which the content is firstly owned, and,

in a case where the first user is determined as the user by which the content identified by the instruction is firstly owned, based on the information stored in the at least one storage, the at least one processor distributes the content in accordance with the instruction.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a

program that causes a processor to execute a process for information processing,

the process comprising:

receiving, from a first user, an instruction to distribute content that the first user owns to a second user;

distributing the content to the second user based on the instruction;

storing information that the content is distributed in a memory;

receiving, from a third user, a request to use content that the third user owns; and

executing processing in accordance with the request in a case where the content identified by the request is determined as content that has been distributed by the processor, based on the information stored in the memory, wherein

the processing is not executed in a case where the content identified by the request is determined, based on the information stored in the memory, as having been distributed without involving the processor.

11. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processing is distribution of the content to the third user.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 ,

wherein the processing is distribution of the content to the third user.
