Abstract

An information processing system includes at least one processor that causes a display screen to be displayed that includes a first screen that displays a first character object of a user of the user terminal, and a second screen that selectably displays one or more game media that can be attached to the first character object. The at least one processor receives, from the user terminal, a selection instruction selecting at least one game medium from among the one or more game media. The at least one processor consumes a predetermined number of specific game media held by the user based on the received selection instruction, and stores the selected at least one game medium in association with the user and the first character object.

Claims (54)

1 . An information processing system for processing information between a user terminal and a server device, the system comprising:

the user is a distributing user of a video distributed in a manner viewable by a viewing user of the video, the video including the first and second screens.

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

the at least one processor causes at least part of the display screen to be displayed differently on the user terminal of the distributing user and on a user terminal of the viewing user.

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

the at least one processor determines the one or more game media to be displayed on the second screen according to an attribute of the first character object that is displayed on the first screen.

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

the at least one processor is further programmed to change the first character object displayed on the first screen to a second character object of the user according to an operation of the user.

7 . The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to

determine whether attributes of the first character object and the second character object are different, and

upon determining that the attributes of the first character object and the second character object are different, determine the one or more game media to be displayed on the second screen according to the attribute of the second character object.

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

the at least one processor is further programmed to cause to be displayed, on the display screen, a first object for receiving a display instruction of a third screen that enables cancellation of selection of the selected at least one game medium.

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

the at least one processor causes to be displayed, on the third screen, a list of game media related to the selection instruction in a predetermined order.

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

the selection instruction selects the at least one game medium for attachment to the first character object and selects at least one game medium for attachment to the second character object, and

in response to receiving the selection instruction, the at least one processor (i) causes to be displayed, on the display screen, a first object for receiving a display instruction of a third screen that enables cancellation of selection of the selected at least one game media, and (ii) causes to be displayed, on the third screen, a list of game media related to the selection instruction in a predetermined order for at least one of the first and second character objects.

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

in response to receiving the display instruction of the third screen via the first object, the at least one processor (i) causes the third screen to be displayed on the display screen and (ii) causes to be displayed a second object on the display screen for sending a decision instruction to consume the predetermined number of the specific game media and to store the selected at least one game medium in association with the user and the first character object, and in response to receiving selection of the second object, the at least one processor stores game media for which the selection has not been canceled in association with the user and the first character object.

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

in response to receiving the decision instruction via the second object, the at least one processor causes the display screen to display (i) a fourth screen that enables cancellation of the selection of the at least one game medium related to the decision instruction and (ii) a third object for consuming the predetermined number of the specific game media and storing the selected at least one game medium in association with the user and the first character object, and the at least one processor stores only game media for which the selection has not been canceled in association with the first character object in response to selection of the third object.

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

at least one processor is further programmed to receive selection of at least one attribute from among a plurality of attributes provided for the selected at least one game medium.

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

in response to receiving the selection instruction, the at least one processor causes the selected at least one game medium to be displayed as attached to the first character object displayed on the first screen.

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

in response to the selected at least one game medium including multiple game media, the at least one processor switches display of attachment of the multiple game media according to a movement of the user or an operation of the user.

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

in response to the selected at least one game medium including multiple game media to be attached to one part of the first character object, the at least one processor divides the one part into a plurality of regions and attaches and displays each of the multiple game media in a respective one of the regions.

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

the at least one processor is further programmed to cause to be displayed a still image or a video related to the first character object separately from the first character object displayed on the first screen.

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

the at least one processor stores the selected at least one game medium in association with the user and the first character object with a restriction, based on the selection instruction and a restriction instruction.

19 . The information processing system according to claim 18 , wherein

a consumption amount of the specific game media when the selected at least one game medium is stored in association with the user and the first character object with the restriction is less than a consumption amount of the specific game media when the selected at least one game medium is stored in association with the user and the first character object without the restriction.

20 . The information processing system according to claim 18 , wherein

the restriction is cancelled in response to consumption of the specific game media by the user or another user.

21 . An information processing method by an information processing system for processing information between a user terminal and a server device, the method comprising:
