Claims (28)

1. An information processing method to be carried out by a terminal of a user, the user being different from a first user and a second user, the user being included in a first talk room to which the first user and the second user belong, the information processing method comprising:

displaying the first talk room including a first content in a display of the terminal;

based on an input of the user with respect to the first content displayed in the first talk room, displaying a first region and a second region in the first talk room, the first region configured to allow the user to input a content, the second region configured to display a specific portion of the first content, the second region being different from the first region;

based on an input of a second content by the user to the first region of the first talk room and a selection input of a second talk room by the user, transmitting the second content and a third content including the specific portion of the first content to the second talk room, and displaying the second talk room including the second content and the third content; and

based on an input of the user with respect to the third content displayed in the second talk room, controlling, by a controller of the terminal, the display to display the first talk room including the first content and not including the second content.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first content is transmitted by a first terminal of the first user.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

causing the terminal of the user to display the second talk room including the second content based on the input by the user to the first region, the second content being associated with the third content and a user name of the first user.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

causing the terminal to display the first content and a group name indicating the first talk room in the display.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third content is same as the first content.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least a piece of information included in the first content is omitted in the third content.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the second content is displayed below the third content in the display.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third content and the second content are displayed as a fourth content, which is a pair of the third content and the second content, in the display.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first content, the second content, and the third content are transmitted via a server.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program for execution by a controller of a terminal of a user that, when executed by the controller, causes the terminal to perform an information processing method, the user being included in a first talk room to which a first user and a second user belong, the user being different from the first user and the second user, the information processing method comprising:

displaying the first talk room including a first content in a display of the terminal;

based on an input of the user with respect to the first content displayed in the first talk room, displaying a first region and a second region in the first talk room, the first region configured to allow the user to input a content, the second region configured to display a specified portion of the first content, the second region being different from the first region;

displaying a second talk room different from the first talk room in the display based on an input of a second content by the user to the first region of the first talk room and a selection input of the second talk room by the user, the second talk room including the second content and a third content, the third content including the specified portion of the first content; and

based on an input made by the user with respect to the third content displayed in the second talk room and, controlling, by the controller of the terminal, the display to display the first talk room including the first content and not including the second content.

11. A terminal of a user, the user included in a first talk room to which a first user and a second user belong, the user being different from the first user and the second user, the terminal comprising:

a display; and

a controller,

wherein the controller is configured to cause the display to,

display the first talk room including a first content,

based on an input of the user with respect to the first content displayed in the first talk room, display a first region and a second region in the first talk room, the first region configured to allow the user to input a content, the second region configured to display a specific portion of the first content and to not allow the user to input a content, the second region being different from the first region,

display a second talk room different from the first talk room based on an input of a second content by the user to the first region of the first talk room and a selection input of the second talk room by the user, the second talk room including the second content and a third content, the third content including the specific portion of the first content, and
