An exemplary information processing system includes a first information processing device having a platform of a first type and a second information processing device having a platform of a second type different from the first type. The information processing system stores a basic user list that is a user list representing information of other uses registered while being associated with information of a subject user and that can be used by the first information processing device and the second information processing device. The information processing system changes the basic user list in response to a list change notification from the first information processing device. The information processing system sets, based on the basic user list, content of an application user list used in an application that is executed on the second information processing device.

Information processing system, server, storage medium storing information processing program, and information processing method

In an example information processing system including a server and at least one apparatus capable of communicating with the server, the apparatus includes at least an application execution unit. The application execution unit executes a predetermined application. The system includes, by either one of the apparatus and the server or by a cooperation of the apparatus and the server, an execution state determination unit and a writing management unit. The execution state determination unit determines whether or not a state of the execution performed by the application execution unit has satisfied a predetermined condition. The writing management unit, when the state has satisfied the predetermined condition, permits a user of the apparatus to write in information managed by the server.

Information processing system, storage medium having stored therein information processing program, information processing apparatus, and information processing method

An exemplary server communicates with a first information processing device and communicates with a second information processing device. The server stores at least shared game data representing game content that can be used in a first game application that is compatible with the first information processing device and that can be used in a second game application that is compatible with the second information processing device. The server obtains game data generated by executing the first game application on the first information processing device and updates the shared game data based on the obtained game data. The server transmits at least a part of the shared game data updated based on the game data generated by executing the first game application to the second information processing device for being used by the second game application.

Server, information processing system, storage medium storing information processing program, and information processing method

When distribution of a content from a distribution server is started, a CPU carries out streaming-play of the received content. When reproduction of the content ends, the CPU determines whether a vote history brought in correspondence with a corresponding motion picture ID is stored in a flash memory or not. When the vote history brought in correspondence with the corresponding motion picture ID is not stored in the flash memory, the CPU causes a monitor to display a user evaluation input screen so as to accept evaluation of the content. A process does not proceed to next processing until evaluation is input.

Storage medium for storing program capable of ensuring that evaluation of content is made after watching thereof, information processing device, and information processing system

A CPU shows animation in which an introduction character appears. In succession, the CPU has a profile of the introduction character displayed. Thereafter, the CPU has a substance of a content displayed, based on a title or the like included in motion picture information downloaded from a distribution server. Namely, the CPU causes a monitor to display the introduction character (a character object) based on obtained character information and outputs information for introducing a specific content in association with the introduction character (the character object) based on obtained content information.

Information processing system relating to content distribution, storage medium for storing program directed thereto, and information processing device

A CPU of a game device has a weekly calendar screen displayed. In this calendar screen, dates in one week are displayed separately. In the calendar screen, a content display field is provided, in which a thumbnail image or the like of a content brought in correspondence with each day is displayed. A time and day of start of availability and a time and day of end of availability are determined for each content such as a motion picture, and downloading of the content by a user is permitted during a period from the time and day of start of availability to the time and day of end of availability.

Method, system, and storage medium for displaying distributed media content in a calendar screen

A CPU accesses a content corresponding to a motion picture ID included in designated motion picture information, among contents uploaded to a distribution server. Then, when distribution of the content from the distribution server is started, the CPU carries out streaming-play of the received content. Thereafter, the CPU determines whether a sponsor is brought into correspondence with the reproduced content or not. When the sponsor is brought into correspondence with the reproduced content, the CPU downloads a sponsor content list from the distribution server.
