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 (46)

1. A server configured to communicate with a first terminal and a second terminal, which is configured to display content distributed from the first terminal, the server 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 cause the server to,

transmit first information to the second terminal, the first information including link information for accessing the content, the first information generated based on an access information generation request from the first terminal,

cause the second terminal satisfying a condition to display a user interface based on the first information from the server, the user interface including a link or a button to access the content, and

allow the second terminal to access the content and associate a user of the second terminal with second information relating to a benefit, based on an input to the user interface.

2. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the first information includes information indicating the benefit provided from a user of the first terminal.

3. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the first information includes information related to the server.

4. The server according to claim 3 , wherein the first information includes access information for accessing the server.

5. The server according to claim 4 , wherein the access information includes Uniform Resource Locator (URL) information.

6. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the benefit includes an item relating to the content.

7. The server according to claim 6 , wherein the benefit is usable in the content.

8. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the computer-readable instructions such that the one or more processors are configured to cause the server to,

transmit information relating to registration to the second terminal based on the input to the user interface when the user of the second terminal has not performed a registration process relating to usage of the content, and

associate the user of the second terminal with the second information based on the information regarding the registration when the registration process has been performed by the user of the second terminal based on an input to another user interface displayed at the second terminal.

9. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to cause the server to distribute the content displayed in the first terminal to the second terminal.

10. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to cause the server to distribute the content displayed in the first terminal to the second terminal in real time.

11. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to cause the server to record the content displayed in the first terminal, and distribute the recorded content to the second terminal.

12. The server according to claim 1 , wherein

the server is a first server, and

the content is distributed from the first terminal to the second terminal via a second server that is different from the first server.

13. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the computer-readable instructions such that the one or more processors are configured to cause the server to transmit information relating to the content to the first terminal.

14. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the server includes at least a first server and a second server.

15. The server according to claim 14 , wherein the content is distributed from the first terminal to the second terminal via the first server.

16. The server according to claim 14 , wherein information relating to the content is transmitted to the first terminal by the second server.

17. The server according to claim 15 , wherein information relating to the content is transmitted to the first terminal by the second server.

18. The server according to claim 1 , wherein

the benefit includes a first benefit and a second benefit, and

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

associate a user of the first terminal with third information relating to the first benefit, and

associate the user of the second terminal with the second information, the second information relating to the second benefit, and the second benefit including at least a portion of the first benefit.

19. The server according to claim 18 , wherein the third information is associated with the user of the first terminal based on an input to the second terminal by the user of the second terminal.

20. The server according to claim 1 , wherein

the one or more processors are configured to cause the server to distribute the content displayed in the first terminal to the second terminal, and

the content is related to a game.

21. The server according to claim 20 , wherein the benefit includes an item usable in the game.

22. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon, which when executed by a processor of a server, causes the server to:

communicate with a first terminal and a second terminal, which is configured to display content distributed from the first terminal;

transmit first information including link information for accessing the content to the second terminal, the first information generated based on an access information generation request form the first terminal;

cause the second terminal satisfying a condition to display a user interface based on the first information from the server, the user interface including a link or a button to access the content; and

allow the second terminal to access the content and associate a user of the second terminal with second information relating to a benefit, based on an input to the user interface.

23. An information processing method of a server, the information processing method comprising:

communicating with a first terminal and a second terminal, which is configured to display content distributed from the first terminal;

transmitting first information including link information for accessing the content to the second terminal, the first information generated based on an access information generation request from the first terminal;

causing the second terminal satisfying a condition to display a user interface based on the first information from the server, the user interface including a link or a button to access the content; and

allowing the second terminal to access the content and associating a user of the second terminal with second information relating to a benefit, based on an input to the user interface.
