Abstract

An information processing system includes one or more processors programmed to receive information for generating a video, including information related to movement of a user, information related to sound, and information related to a character object, that is sent from a user terminal of the user; execute a video chat between a plurality of users using character objects, based on the received information for generating the video; specify a state of the user terminal; and change a display mode of the character object corresponding to the user terminal according to the specified state of the user terminal.

Claims (51)

1 . An information processing system comprising:

one or more processors programmed to:

receive information for generating a video, including information related to movement of a user, information related to sound, and information related to a character object, that is sent from a user terminal of a user;

execute a video chat between a plurality of users using character objects, based on the received information for generating the video;

specify a state of the user terminal; and

change a display of the character object corresponding to the user terminal according to the specified state of the user terminal.

2 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

when the one or more processors have not received the information related to the movement of the user from the user terminal, or when the received information related to the movement of the user satisfies a first condition, the one or more processors specify that the user terminal is in a first state.

3 . The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein

the first condition is that the one or more processors continue to receive information related to a same movement for a predetermined period of time, or do not receive, for a predetermined period of time, information related to an amount of change in movement that is sent only when the movement changes.

4 . The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein

when the one or more processors specify that the user terminal is in the first state, as a change in the display of the character object, the one or more processors attach a first specific object to the character object and/or apply a first specific movement to the character object.

5 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein

the first specific object is an object to indicate that the character object is not looking screen of the video chat, and the first specific movement is a movement to indicate that the character object is not looking at the screen of the video chat.

6 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

when the one or more processors have not received the information related to the sound from the user terminal, or when the received information related to the sound satisfies a second condition, the one or more processors specify that the user terminal is in a second state.

7 . The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein

when the one or more processors specify that the user terminal is in the second state, as a change in the display of the character object, the one or more processors attach a second specific object to the character object and/or apply a second specific movement to the character object.

8 . The information processing system according to claim 7 , wherein

the second specific object is an object to indicate that the character object is not speaking, and

the second specific movement is a movement to indicate that the character object is not speaking.

9 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

when the one or more processors receive information indicating that a specific application is running or being displayed at the user terminal, the one or more processors specify that the user terminal is in a third state.

10 . The information processing system according to claim 9 , wherein

when the one or more processors receive information indicating that a music playback application is running at the user terminal, the one or more processors specify that the user terminal is in the third state.

11 . The information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein

when the one or more processors specify that the user terminal is in the third state, as a change in the display of the character object, the one or more processors attach a third specific object to the character object and/or apply a third specific movement to the character object.

12 . The information processing system according to claim 11 , wherein

the third specific object is an object to indicate that the character object is listening to music, and

the third specific movement is a movement to indicate that the character object is listening to music.

13 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

when a volume of a sound other than speaking by the user included in the received information related to the sound is greater than or equal to a first value, the one or more processors specify that the user terminal is in a fourth state.

14 . The information processing system according to claim 13 , wherein

when the one or more processors specify that the user terminal is in the fourth state, as a change in the display of the character object, the one or more processors attach a fourth specific object to the character object and/or apply a fourth specific movement to the character object.

15 . The information processing system according to claim 14 , wherein

the fourth specific object is an object to indicate that the character object feels that sound of the video chat is difficult to hear, and

the fourth specific movement is a movement to indicate that the character object feels that the sound of the video chat is difficult to hear.

16 . The information processing system according to any of claim 13 , wherein

when the one or more processors specify that the user terminal is in the fourth state, the one or more processors generate the video without including information related to the sound when the volume of the other sound is greater than or equal to a second value.

17 . An information processing method by one or more processors, the method comprising:

receiving information for generating a video, including information related to movement of a user, information related to sound, and information related to a character object, that is sent from a user terminal of the user;

executing a video chat between a plurality of users using character objects, based on the received information for generating the video;

specifying a state of the user terminal; and

changing a display of the character object corresponding to the user terminal according to the specified state of the user terminal.

18 . An information processing device comprising:

one or more processors programmed to:

send, to a server device, information for generating a video related to a user, including information related to movement of the user, information related to first sound, and information related to a first character object;

receive, from the server device, information for generating a video related to another user, including information related to movement of the other user, information related to second sound, and information related to a second character object;

execute a video chat between a plurality of users using character objects, based on the information for generating the video related to the user and the information for generating the video related to the other user;

specify a state of the information processing device; and

change a display of the first character object corresponding to the information processing device according to the specified state of the information processing device.
