An image of a game played by a user A is streaming distributed to information processing apparatuses of users B, C and D. On an outputting apparatus of the user A, candidates for a user who is to play the game in place of the user A are presented. To a user who has the operation right of the game, a controller mark indicating that the user has the operation right of the game is applied. Consequently, the user A can recognize at a glance who has the operation right.

Information processing system and information processing apparatus

Manipulation receiving unit receives an operation input by a user manipulation. In case the manipulation receiving unit does not receive an input operation for a predetermined time period, a state control unit sets an operation state to a power saving state. However, if the voice receiving unit receives voice input before a non-operation time period reaches the predetermined time period, the status control unit does not set the operation state to the power saving state even if the manipulation receiving unit does not receive an input operation during the predetermined time period. The non-operation time period is defined as a time period during which the manipulation receiving unit does not receive an input operation.
