Information processing system, server, program, and information processing method

A server that carries out communications with a user terminal that generates metadata when needed during the execution of a game, the metadata including one or more kinds of attribute information, the server comprising:

• a management unit for managing one or more sets of data, the sets of data each including:
• image data related to the game or location data of the image data, and the metadata;
• a correlation calculating unit for calculating a correlation between metadata generated by the user terminal at a certain timing and the metadata included in each of the one or more managed sets;
• and
• a sending unit for sending, to the user terminal, the image data or location data included in the same set as metadata whose correlation satisfies a predetermined criterion.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for causing a computer that executes control including communications with a user terminal that generates metadata when needed during the execution of a game, the metadata including one or more kinds of attribute information, to execute control processing comprising:

• a management step of managing one or more sets of data, the sets of data each including:
• image data related to the game or location data of the image data, and the metadata;
• a correlation calculating step of calculating a correlation between metadata generated by the user terminal at a certain timing and the metadata included in each of the one or more managed sets;
• and
• a sending control step of executing control to send, to the user terminal, the image data or location data included in the same set as metadata whose correlation satisfies a predetermined criterion.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for a computer that controls a terminal that carries out communications with a server having:

• a management function of managing one or more sets of data, the sets of data each including:
• image data related to a game or location data of the image data, and metadata including one or more kinds of attribute information that is obtained during the execution of the game;
• and
• a sending function of sending, to another terminal, the image data or location data included in the same set as metadata whose correlation with metadata generated by the other terminal satisfies a predetermined criterion among the metadata included in the one or more managed sets,
• the program causing the computer to execute control processing comprising:
• a generating step of generating metadata when needed during the execution of the game;
• a communication control step of executing control to send, to the server, metadata generated at a timing satisfying a predetermined condition during the execution of the game, and to receive image data or location data sent from the server by using the sending function on the basis of the sent metadata;
• and
• a display control step of controlling display of the received image data or image data identified from the received location data.

An information processing method that is executed by an information processing apparatus that carries out communications with a server having:

• a management function of managing one or more sets of data, the sets of data each including:
• image data related to a game or location data of the image data, and metadata including one or more kinds of attribute information that is obtained during the execution of the game;
• and
• a sending function of sending, to another terminal, the image data or location data included in the same set as metadata whose correlation with metadata generated by the other terminal satisfies a predetermined criterion among the metadata included in the one or more managed sets,
• the information processing method comprising:
• a generating step of generating metadata when needed during the execution of the game;
• a communication control step of executing control to send, to the server, metadata generated at a timing satisfying a predetermined condition during the execution of the game, and to receive image data or location data sent from the server by using the sending function on the basis of the sent metadata;
• and
• a display control step of controlling display of the received image data or image data identified from the received location data.
