Abstract

An acquisition processing section 120 acquires recorded data about a past application session from a log server. A user screen generating block 140 generates a screen related to the application session on the basis of the acquired recorded data. Specifically, a session list displaying section 142 displays information related to a plurality of past application sessions. A user list displaying section 144 displays information identifying the users having participated in one past application session.

First claim

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
an acquisition processing section configured to acquire recorded data about a past application session; and a screen generating unit configured to generate a screen related to the application session on the basis of the acquired recorded data; wherein the acquisition processing section acquires status data indicative of a relationship with a user having participated in the application session, and the screen generating unit displays information identifying the user having participated in the past application session, the displayed information being supplemented with relationship information based on the status data.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the screen generating unit displays the information identifying the user, the displayed information being supplemented with the relationship information indicating that the user is registered as a friend.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the screen generating unit displays the information identifying the user registered as a friend, the displayed information being supplemented with information indicating whether the user is currently online or offline.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the screen generating unit displays information identifying a plurality of users in such a manner that the information identifying a user registered as a friend is displayed above the information identifying a user not registered as a friend.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the acquisition processing section acquires the recorded data from a server connected to a network.

6 . A program for a computer, comprising:
by au acquisition section, acquiring recorded data about a past application session; and by a screen generating unit, generating a screen related to the application session on the basis of the acquired recorded data; wherein the acquiring section acquires status data indicative of a relationship with a user having participated in the application session, and the screen generating unit displays information identifying the user having participated in the past application session, the displayed information being supplemented with relationship information based on the status data.

7 . (canceled)

8 . A screen generating method comprising:
acquiring recorded data about a past application session; acquiring status data indicative of a relationship with a user having participated in the application session; and generating a screen related to the application session on the basis of the acquired recorded data; wherein information identifying the user having participated in the past application session is displayed supplemented with relationship information based on the
