Abstract

An information processing system distributes a video and includes processing circuitry configured to accept selection of a first object from a first information processing terminal; transmit, in accordance with the selection, a predetermined notification to a second information processing terminal associated with the first object; receive a response to the predetermined notification from the second information processing terminal; determine a state of a first screen displayed on the first information processing terminal; and decide, based on the determined state of the first screen, a second screen to be displayed on the second information processing terminal.

Claims (46)

1. An information processing system that distributes a video, the information processing system comprising:

processing circuitry configured to

determine a state of each of one or more second users having a specific relationship with a first user; and

display, at a display of the first user, a screen including information corresponding to each of the one or more second users organized in a list, the information including user information of each of the one or more second users and indicating the state of each of the one or more second users, wherein

the screen is displayed such that a state of a second user indicates whether or not video is being distributed by the second user,

the specific relationship is being mutually followed with the first user,

the processing circuitry displays the screen to include a state icon for each of the second users in the list, the state icon indicating the state of the second user, and

a state icon indicating a first state has a different appearance than a state icon indicating a second state and has a different appearance than a state icon indicating a third state.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the user information includes, for each second user, an image and/or a name indicating a profile of the second user.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry displays the screen such that the state of the second user is any of:

the first state of distributing a video,

the second state of viewing a video, and

the third state of neither appearing in a video nor viewing a video.

4. The information processing system according to claim 3 , wherein in a case that the state of the second user is the third state, the processing circuitry is further configured to display information indicating an amount of time elapsed since the second user entered an offline state.

5. The information processing system according to claim 3 , wherein the first state further indicates whether other users appear in the video.

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

the screen is displayed such that, for each of the one or more second users organized in the list, a corresponding first object is provided, and

the processing circuitry is further configured to, in response to user input to a particular first object, initiate interaction between the first user and a corresponding second user.

7. The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein in response to user input to the particular first object, the processing circuitry initiates a chat interaction between the first user and the corresponding second user.

8. The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein in response to user input to the particular first object, the processing circuitry transmits a chat interaction request to a terminal of the corresponding second user.

9. An information processing method for distributing a video, the information processing method comprising:

determining a state of each of one or more second users having a specific relationship with a first user; and

displaying, at a display of the first user, a screen including information corresponding to each of the one or more second users organized in a list, the information including user information of each of the one or more second users and indicating the state of each of the one or more second users, wherein

the screen is displayed such that a state of a second user indicates whether or not video is being distributed by the second user,

the specific relationship is being mutually followed with the first user,

the method further comprises displaying the screen to include a state icon for each of the second users in the list, the state icon indicating the state of the second user, and

a state icon indicating a first state has a different appearance than a state icon indicating a second state and has a different appearance than a state icon indicating a third state.

10. The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the user information includes, for each second user, an image and/or a name indicating a profile of the second user.

11. The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the displaying includes displaying the screen such that the state of the second user is any of:

the first state of distributing a video,

the second state of viewing a video, and

the third state of neither appearing in a video nor viewing a video.

12. The information processing method according to claim 11 , further comprising, in a case that the state of the second user is the third state, displaying information indicating an amount of time elapsed since the second user entered an offline state.

13. The information processing method according to claim 11 , wherein the first state further indicates whether other users appear in the video.

14. The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein

the screen is displayed such that, for each of the one or more second users organized in the list, a corresponding first object is provided, and

the information processing method further comprises, in response to user input to a particular first object, initiating interaction between the first user and a corresponding second user.

15. An information processing terminal that distributes a video, the information processing terminal comprising:

a display; and

processing circuitry configured to

determine a state of each of one or more second users having a specific relationship with a first user of the information processing terminal; and

control the display to display a screen including information corresponding to each of the one or more second users organized in a list, the information including user information of each of the one or more second users and indicating the state of each of the one or more second users, wherein

the screen is displayed by the display such that a state of a second user indicates whether or not video is being distributed by the second user,

the specific relationship is being mutually followed with the first user,

the processing circuitry displays the screen to include a state icon for each of the second users in the list, the state icon indicating the state of the second user, and

a state icon indicating a first state has a different appearance than a state icon indicating a second state and has a different appearance than a state icon indicating a third state.
