Abstract

There is provided a reception terminal including a display control section which performs control of displaying content data shared with a transmission terminal, and an acquisition section which acquires, from a server, event identification information for identifying an event occurred in the transmission terminal regarding the content data, wherein the display control section adds a display associated with the event identification information acquired by the acquisition section to the content data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A reception terminal comprising:
circuitry configured to:
perform control of displaying content data shared with a transmission terminal;
acquire, from a server, a combination of event identification information for identifying operations performed by one or more users upon the content data from each of a plurality of transmission terminals, and event occurrence time which is a time at which the operations occurred;
acquire, from the server, notification of a result of performing a predetermined statistical processing to the combinations of the event identification information and the event occurrence time acquired from the plurality of transmission terminals; and
add a display associated with the result of performing the predetermined statistical processing to the content data,

wherein the predetermined statistical processing includes selecting a representative transmission terminal from the plurality of transmission terminals,
wherein the circuitry is further configured to select the representative transmission terminal having a highest amount of transmission from the plurality of transmission terminals, and
wherein the circuitry is further configured to only acquire event identification information from the representative transmission terminal.

2. An information processing method, executed via at least one processor having circuitry, the method comprising:
performing control of displaying content data shared with a transmission terminal;
acquiring, from a server, a combination of event identification information for identifying operations performed by one or more users upon the content data from each of a plurality of transmission terminals, and event occurrence time which is a time at which the operations occurred;
acquiring, from the server, notification of a result of performing a predetermined statistical processing to the combinations of the event identification information and the event occurrence time acquired from the plurality of transmission terminals; and
adding a display associated with the result of performing the predetermined statistical processing to the content data,
wherein the predetermined statistical processing includes selecting a representative transmission terminal from the plurality of transmission terminals,
wherein the predetermined statistical processing includes selecting the representative transmission terminal having a highest amount of transmission from the plurality of transmission terminals, and
wherein the event identification information is only acquired from the representative transmission terminal.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer having circuitry, causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:
performing control of displaying content data shared with a transmission terminal;
acquiring, from a server, a combination of event identification information for identifying operations performed by one or more users upon the content data from each of a plurality of transmission terminals, and event occurrence time which is a time at which the operations occurred;
acquiring, from the server, notification of a result of performing a predetermined statistical processing to the combinations of the event identification information and the event occurrence time acquired from the plurality of transmission terminals; and
adding a display associated with the result of performing the predetermined statistical processing to the content data,
wherein the predetermined statistical processing includes selecting a representative transmission terminal from the plurality of transmission terminals,
wherein the predetermined statistical processing includes selecting the representative transmission terminal having a highest amount of transmission from the plurality of transmission terminals, and
wherein the event identification information is only acquired from the representative transmission terminal.

4. A server comprising:
circuitry configured to:
acquire, from each of a plurality of transmission terminals, a combination of event identification information for identifying operations performed by one or more users upon content data, wherein the content data is shared between respective ones of the plurality of transmission terminals and respective ones of a plurality of reception terminals, and event occurrence time which is a time at which the operations occurred;
perform a predetermined statistical processing to the combinations of the event identification information and the event occurrence time acquired from the plurality of transmission terminals; and
notify a designated one of the reception terminals of a result of performing the predetermined statistical processing in response to a request from the designated one of the reception terminals,

wherein the predetermined statistical processing includes selecting a representative transmission terminal from the plurality of transmission terminals,
wherein the circuitry is further configured to select the representative transmission terminal having a highest amount of transmission from the plurality of transmission terminals, and
wherein the circuitry is further configured to only acquire event identification information from the representative transmission terminal.

5. The server according to claim 4 ,
wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
merge the combinations acquired from the plurality of transmission terminals, and notify the designated one of reception terminals of a result obtained by the merging.

6. An information processing method, executed via at least one processor having circuitry, the method comprising:
acquiring, from each of a plurality of transmission terminals, a combination of event identification information for identifying operations performed by one or more users upon content data, wherein the content data is shared between respective ones of the plurality of transmission terminals and respective ones of a plurality of reception terminals, and event occurrence time which is a time at which the operations occurred;
performing a predetermined statistical processing to the combinations of the event identification information and the event occurrence time acquired from the plurality of transmission terminals; and
notifying a designated one of the reception terminals of a result of performing the predetermined statistical processing in response to a request from the designated one of the reception terminals,
wherein the predetermined statistical processing includes selecting a representative transmission terminal from the plurality of transmission terminals,
wherein the predetermined statistical processing includes selecting the representative transmission terminal having a highest amount of transmission from the plurality of transmission terminals, and
wherein the event identification information is only acquired from the representative transmission terminal.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer having circuitry, causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:
acquiring, from each of a plurality of transmission terminals, a combination of event identification information for identifying operations performed by one or more users upon content data, wherein the content data is shared between respective ones of the plurality of transmission terminals and respective ones of a plurality of reception terminals, and event occurrence time which is a time at which the operations occurred;
performing a predetermined statistical processing to the combinations of the event identification information and the event occurrence time
