Abstract

There are provided a capture notification system, a capture notification method, a program, an information storage medium, and an information processing device for allowing a user executing a program to become aware of another user capturing an image indicating content of execution of the program. A capture request receiving section ( 38 ) receives a capture request of an image indicating content of execution of a program from a capture requesting user requesting capture of the image. A notifying section ( 40 ) notifies a capture object user that the image is to be captured in response to the receipt of the capture request.

First claim

1 . A capture notification system comprising:
a capture request receiving section configured to receive a capture request of an image indicating content of execution of a program from a capture requesting user requesting capture of the image; and a notifying section configured to notify a capture object user that the image is to be captured in response to the receipt of the capture request.

2 . The capture notification system according to claim 1 , wherein the program is a program of a game to be participated in by a plurality of users including the capture requesting user and the capture object user.

3 . The capture notification system according to claim 1 , wherein the notifying section notifies the capture object user of identification information about the capture requesting user, thereby notifying the capture object user that the image is to be captured by the capture requesting user.

4 . The capture notification system according to claim 1 , further comprising a display controlling section configured to cause a display section used by the capture object user to be notified of the capture of the image to indicate that the image is to be captured.

5 . The capture notification system according to claim 4 , wherein the display controlling section causes a specific position on the display section which corresponds to the capture requesting user to indicate that the image is to be captured.

6 . The capture notification system according to claim 1 , wherein the notifying section changes the manner in which a light-emitting section of a controller operated by the capture requesting user is illuminated, thereby notifying the capture object user that the image is to be captured.

7 . A capture notification method comprising:
receiving a capture request of an image indicating content of execution of a program from a capture requesting user requesting capture of the image; and notifying a capture object user that the image is to be captured in response to the receipt of the capture request.

8 . (canceled)

9 . A non-transitory computer-readable information storage medium on which a program is recorded, the program when executed by a computer causing the computer to carry out actions, comprising:
by a capture request receiving section, receiving a capture request of an image indicating content of execution of a program from a capture requesting user requesting capture of the image; and by a notifying section, notifying a capture object user that the image is to be captured in response to the receipt of the capture request.

10 . An information processing device comprising a capture requesting section configured to notify a capture object user of a capture request of an image indicating content of execution of a program by a capture requesting user requesting capture of the image.

11 . A non-transitory computer-readable information storage medium on which a program is recorded, the program when executed by a computer causing the computer to carry out actions, comprising: by a capture requesting section, notifying a capture object user of a capture request of an image indicating content of execution of a program by a capture requesting user requesting capture of the image.

12 . (canceled)

13 . An information processing device comprising:
a notification receiving section configured to receive a notification that a capture requesting user requesting capture of an image indicating content of execution of a program is to capture the image; and a notifying section configured to notify a capture object user that the image is to be captured in response to the receipt of the notification.

14 . A non-transitory computer-readable information storage medium on which a program is recorded, the program when executed by a computer causing the computer to carry out actions, comprising:
by a notification receiving section, receiving a notification that a capture requesting user requesting capture of an image indicating content of execution of a program is to capture the image; and by a notifying section, notifying a capture object user that the image is to be captured in response to the receipt of the notification.

15 . (canceled)
