Abstract
A game image being played by a user A is shared with a user C. A mode setting unit sets one sharing mode from between at least two sharing modes. The first mode is a mode in which a game image is shared while the user C does not have a control right of a game, and the second mode is a mode in which the control right of the game is passed to a user B in place of the user A. The third mode is a mode in which both of the user A and the user C have the control right of the game. The mode setting unit sets one mode from among the modes.
