Abstract

An information processing system performs information processing related to chat-type communication among a plurality of users The system includes one or more processors programmed to acquire sent content that is sent from a first user in a chat, and generate a plurality of options related to reply content from a second user with respect to the sent content. The plurality of options includes a first option associated with a destination in a virtual space displayed via an electronic device of the second user. The destination is determined based on the sent content.

Claims (50)

1 . An information processing system that performs information processing related to chat-type communication among a plurality of users, the information processing system comprising:

one or more processors programmed to

acquire sent content that is sent from a first user in a chat, and

generate a plurality of options related to reply content from a second user with respect to the sent content, wherein

the plurality of options includes a first option associated with a destination in a virtual space displayed via an electronic device of the second user, and

the destination is determined based on the sent content.

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

the one or more processors are further programmed to, when a first response based on the first option is made, automatically execute movement-related processing to the destination associated with the first option, and

the movement-related processing includes at least one of (i) processing that causes movement to the destination in the virtual space and (ii) processing that outputs a display that enables movement to the destination in the virtual space.

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

the one or more processors generate a link to the destination.

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

the one or more processors generate the link according to a type of the electronic device from among a plurality of types of electronic devices.

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

a plurality of the first options is generated with respect to the sent content, and

at least one of the plurality of the first options is generated based on at least one of first parameters from among (i) the electronic device of the second user, (ii) an item in the virtual space possessed by the second user, (iii) a status of the second user, and (iv) a relationship between the second user and the first user.

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

the first option includes a message, a text, a symbol, or an image representing or suggesting a first electronic device type configured to be connected to a network, and

the one or more processors further

determine whether the first electronic device type has been used, when the first response based on the first option is made, and

execute the movement-related processing when it is determined that the first electronic device type has been used.

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

the image includes a stamp of the chat.

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

the plurality of options includes (i) the first option which accompanies a change in status of the second user and (ii) a second option which does not accompany the change in status of the second user.

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

the plurality of options includes (i) a third option associated with a first value of a second parameter and (ii) a fourth option associated with a second value of the second parameter different from the first value.

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

the one or more processors are further programmed to, when a first response based on the first option is made, acquire a predetermined item associated with the first option or attach the predetermined item to an avatar in the virtual space.

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

the one or more processors are further programmed to execute movement-related processing to the destination associated with the first option for which the first response is made when attachment or acquisition of the predetermined item is realized, and

the movement-related processing includes at least one of (i) processing that causes movement to the destination in the virtual space and (ii) processing that outputs a display that enables movement to the destination in the virtual space.

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

the predetermined item is determined based on the sent content.

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

the electronic device of the second user has a constant connection mode that maintains a state of being connected to a network, and

during the constant connection mode, the one or more processors automatically determine a second option related to the reply content with respect to the sent content, and automatically make a second response based on the second option.

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

during the constant connection mode, the one or more processors automatically make the second response when the second user is in a predetermined state.

15 . An information processing apparatus that performs information processing related to chat-type communication among a plurality of users, the information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor programmed to

acquire sent content that is sent from a first user in a chat, and

generate a plurality of options related to reply content from a second user with respect to the sent content, wherein

the plurality of options includes a first option associated with a destination in a virtual space displayed via an electronic device of the second user, and

the destination is determined based on the sent content.

16 . An information processing method related to chat-style communication among a plurality of users, the method comprising:

acquiring sent content that is sent from a first user in a chat; and

generating a plurality of options related to reply content from a second user with respect to the sent content, wherein

the plurality of options includes a first option associated with a destination in a virtual space displayed via an electronic device of the second user, and

the destination is determined based on the sent content.
