Abstract

An information processing system comprises processing circuitry configured to generate first information for displaying a video on an information processing apparatus; transmit the first information to the information processing apparatus; receive operation information regarding a plurality of operations performed on a first icon to take an action on the video displayed on the information processing apparatus; and determine, based on the operation information, a display mode of an object corresponding to the first icon, wherein the processing circuitry generates the first information for displaying the object on the video in the display mode.

Claims (53)

1. An information processing system, comprising:

processing circuitry configured to

generate first information for displaying a video on an information processing apparatus;

transmit the first information to the information processing apparatus;

receive operation information regarding a plurality of operations performed on a first icon to take an action on the video displayed on the information processing apparatus; and

determine, based on the operation information, a display mode of an object corresponding to the first icon, wherein

the processing circuitry generates the first information for displaying the object on the video in the display mode,

the plurality of operations are one of a tap, a tap and press, and a long press of the first icon,

the display mode of the first object changes stepwise as a number of times of the plurality of operations increases, and

a size of the first object increases with an increasing number of the plurality of operations.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry determines the display mode by setting an amount of change from a reference value of at least one parameter of plural parameters set for the object based on the operation information, the plural parameters including display size, transparency, moving speed and motion.

3. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein the processing circuitry determines the display mode of the object based on a parameter as well as the operation information.

4. The information processing system according to claim 3 , wherein the parameter relates to any of a number of concurrent users of the video, a sales condition of the video, or a progress state of the video.

5. The information processing system according to claim 3 , wherein the parameter relates to a value of the first icon or an average operation interval of the plurality of operations performed on the first icon.

6. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to

determine, for the plurality of operations, whether a second operation has been performed within a period of time from a first operation,

measure a number of operations in a case that the processing circuitry determines that the second operation has been performed within the period of time from the first operation, and

end measurement of the number of operations in a case that the processing circuitry determines that the second operation has not been performed within the period of time from the first operation,

confirm the number of operations in a case where measurement is ended, and

transmit the number confirmed by the processing circuitry as the operation information.

7. The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to change, in a case that the second operation is determined to have been performed within the period of time from the first operation, the display mode of the first icon.

8. The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to control playback, in a case that the second operation is determined to have been performed within the period of time from the first operation, of a sound effect based on the number of operations.

9. The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein the processing circuitry transmits the number as the operation information in a case where the number is confirmed.

10. The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein the processing circuitry transmits the number as the operation information in accordance with an instruction from the information processing apparatus after the number is confirmed.

11. The information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to control a display of the information processing apparatus to display a second icon for receiving the instruction.

12. The information processing system according to claim 11 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to

control storage of history information regarding the number,

control the information processing apparatus to display a third icon generated based on the history information, and

in a case that an operation is performed on the third icon, transmit the operation information while assuming that a plurality of operations have been performed on the first icon.

13. The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to transmit, in a case that the number of operations measured by the processing circuitry reaches a first value, the first value as intermediate operation information before the processing circuitry confirms the number.

14. The information processing system according to claim 13 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to

determine whether a cancelation operation has been performed within a period of time from the operation,

in a case that the cancelation operation is determined to have been performed after the number of operations measured by the processing circuitry reaches the first value, cancel an operation performed after the first value is reached, and

in a case that the cancelation operation is determined to have been performed before the number of operation measured by the processing circuitry reaches the first value, cancel all of the plurality of operations.

15. The information processing system according to claim 13 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to

receive the intermediate operation information,

generate, based on the intermediate operation information, second information for displaying a first icon displayed on another information processing apparatus in a different display mode, and

transmit the second information to the another information processing apparatus.

16. The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to, in a case that the second operation has not been performed within the period of time from the first operation,

control the information processing apparatus to display an inquiry screen on the one of the one or more first information processing apparatuses,

inquire whether to continue before the processing circuitry ends the measurement of the number of operations,

in a case that the inquiry indicates to continue, continue to measure the number of operations, and

in a case that the inquire indicates not to continue, end the measurement of the number of operations.

17. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry does not receive information regarding each of the plurality of operations but receives operation information regarding all of the plurality of operations.

18. An information processing method, comprising:

generating, by processing circuitry of an information processing system, first information for displaying a video on an information processing apparatus;

transmitting the first information to the information processing apparatus;

receiving operation information regarding a plurality of operations performed on a first icon to take an action on the video displayed on the information processing apparatus; and

determining, based on the operation information, a display mode of an object corresponding to the first icon, wherein

the first information is generated for displaying the object on the video in the display mode,

the plurality of operations are one of a tap, a tap and press, and a long press of the first icon

the display mode of the first object changes stepwise as a number of times of the plurality of operations increases, and

a size of the first object increases with an increasing number of the plurality of operations.
