Abstract
The basic image specifying unit specifies the basic image of a character representing a user of the information processing device. The facial expression parameter generating unit converts the degree of the facial expression of the user to a numerical value. The model control unit determines an output model of the character for respective points of time. The moving image parameter generating unit generates a moving image parameter for generating animated moving image frames of the character for respective points of time. The command specifying unit specifies a command corresponding to the pattern of the facial expression of the user. The playback unit outputs an image based on the moving image parameter and the voice data received from the information processing device of the other user. The command executing unit executes a command based on the identification information of the command.
