Abstract

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recorded with an information processing program executable by a processor of an information processing apparatus, the information processing program causing the processor to perform operations including configuring an operation area on a display unit of the information processing apparatus, the operation area being associated with a payment target candidate user, determining a payment amount, based on an extent of an action in a user operation performed in the operation area, and transmitting information about a payment of the payment amount with respect to the payment target candidate user.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recorded with an information processing program executable by a processor of an information processing apparatus, the information processing program causing the processor to perform operations comprising:
configuring an operation area on a display unit of the information processing apparatus, the operation area being associated with a payment target candidate user; determining a payment amount, based on an extent of an action in a user operation performed in the operation area; and transmitting information about a payment of the payment amount with respect to the payment target candidate user.

2 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitting of the information about the payment further comprises, in a case where the user operation is an operation in a first direction, transmitting a money transfer instruction for transferring the payment amount to the payment target candidate user.

3 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 2 , wherein the first direction is a direction toward an object associated with the payment target candidate user.

4 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 2 , wherein the transmitting of the information about the payment further comprises, in a case where the user operation is an operation in a second direction that is different from the first direction, transmitting a money transfer request for requesting the payment target candidate user to transfer the payment amount.

5 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 4 , wherein the second direction is a direction away from an object associated with the payment target candidate user.

6 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the extent of the action includes a distance of movement in the user operation.

7 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the extent of the action includes a number of times a contact is made in the user operation.

8 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the extent of the action includes a pressure of press-down in the user operation.

9 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the more quickly the user operation is performed, the larger a unit amount by which the payment amount is increased or decreased becomes.

10 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the more slowly the user operation is performed, the smaller a unit amount by which the payment amount is increased or decreased becomes.

11 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein a payment amount adjustment button is displayed in response to detecting a stop of the user operation.

12 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein, after the user operation stops, the payment amount is increased or decreased by a small amount in accordance with another user operation in a third direction.

13 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the payment amount is determined according to the extent of the action and a balance of the payment target candidate user.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 13 , wherein a unit amount by which the payment amount is increased or decreased in response to the extent of the action is higher in a case where the balance of the payment target candidate user is of a first value than in a case where the balance of the payment target candidate user is of a second value that is less than the first value.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the payment amount is determined based on the extent of the action and a balance of an operating user who performs the user operation.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 15 , wherein a unit amount by which the payment amount is increased or decreased in response to the extent of the action is higher in a case where the balance of the operating user is of a third value than in a case where the balance of the operating user is of a fourth value that is less than the third value.

17 . An information processing method executed by an information processing apparatus, comprising:
configuring an operation area on a display unit of the information processing apparatus, the operation area being associated with a payment target candidate user; determining a payment amount, based on an extent of an action in a user operation performed in the operation area; and transmitting information about a payment of the payment amount with respect to the payment target candidate user.

18 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to perform operations comprising: configuring an operation area on a display unit of the information processing apparatus, the operation area being associated with a payment target candidate user; determining a payment amount, based on an extent of an action in a user operation performed in the operation area; and transmitting information about a payment of the payment amount with respect to the payment target candidate user.
