Abstract

Claims (34)

1 . An information processing system comprising:

one or more processors programmed to:

transmit information regarding display of a video including a first object representing a first user to a terminal device of a second user different from the first user;

set a user group including the first user and at least one other user including the second user; and

transmit information regarding display of a related image selected by the first user from an image group including a plurality of related images relating to the first object, to the terminal device of each other user included in the user group, wherein

the one or more processors include in the image group a new related image including the first object representing the first user and a second object representing at least one of the other users, in response to an instruction from the first user,

the first and second objects included in the new related image are controlled to automatically perform a predetermined action in the new related image,

the instruction from the first user includes a selection by the first user of the at least one of the other users from a selection target group displayed on a terminal device of the first user, and

the one or more processors generate the new related image in response to the selection by the first user of the at least one of the other users.

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

in setting the user group, the one or more processors set a plurality of user groups, and

in transmitting the information regarding display of the related image, the one or more processors transmit the new related image including the second object representing the at least one of the other users only to the user group including the at least one of the other users.

3 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors:

in response to a number of the other users in the user group participating in a chat reaching a predetermined number, select the predetermined number of other users; and

generate the new related image including the second object indicating the selected predetermined number of other users.

4 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the new related image includes a third object, different from the first object and the second object, relating to a design of a character-related image, and includes the first object and the second object in a pose corresponding to the third object.

5 . A control method of an information processing system comprising one or more processors, the method comprising:

transmitting information regarding display of a video including a first object representing a first user to a terminal device of a second user different from the first user;

setting a user group including the first user and at least one other user including the second user; and

transmitting information regarding display of a related image selected by the first user from an image group including a plurality of related images relating to the first object, to the terminal device of each other user included in the user group, wherein

included in the image group is a new related image including the first object representing the first user and a second object representing at least one of the other users, in response to an instruction from the first user,

the first and second objects included in the new related image are controlled to automatically perform a predetermined action in the new related image,

the instruction from the first user includes a selection by the first user of the at least one of the other users from a selection target group displayed on a terminal device of the first user, and

the new related image is generated in response to the selection by the first user of the at least one of the other users.

6 . A server device comprising:

a processor programmed to:

receive, from a first terminal device of a first user, information regarding display of a video including a first object representing the first user;

transmit to a second terminal device of a second user different from the first user the information regarding display of the video received from the first terminal device;

set a user group including the first user and at least one other user including the second user; and

receive information regarding display of a related image selected by the first user from an image group including a plurality of related images relating to the first object and transmitted from the first terminal device, wherein

in response to an instruction from the first user, a new related image including the first object representing the first user and a second object representing at least one of the other users is included in the image group,

the first and second objects included in the new related image are controlled to automatically perform a predetermined action in the new related image,

the instruction from the first user includes a selection by the first user of the at least one of the other users from a selection target group displayed on a terminal device of the first user, and

the new related image is generated in response to the selection by the first user of the at least one of the other users.
