Abstract
A controller receives a message from a first user terminal of user terminals belonging to a chat group. In a case where the type of the message is of a normal message, the controller transmits the message to each of the user terminals. In a case where the type of the message is selection of the game icon, the controller generates a game message according to logic corresponding to the game icon and transmits the game message to each of the user terminals.
Claims19
A method, comprising:
- receiving, with circuitry, selection of an icon for grouping by a first user of a plurality of users in a chat group, the icon being displayed in association with a chat screen on a device of the first user;
- receiving, with the circuitry, entry of additional users of the plurality of users into the grouping;
- and
- upon fulfillment of a predetermined condition, grouping, with the circuitry, the first user and the additional users into one of at least two chat groups,
- wherein the first user and the additional users chat via a corresponding one of the at least two chat groups, and
- the chat screen on the device of the first user displays information related to a game and a game result of a game played by at least one of the first user and the additional users in the corresponding one of the at least two chat groups.
A server, comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- receive selection of an icon for grouping by a first user of a plurality of users in a chat group, the icon being displayed in association with a chat screen on a device of the first user;
- receive entry of additional users of the plurality of users into the grouping;
- and
- upon fulfillment of a predetermined condition, group the first user and the additional users into one of at least two chat groups,
- wherein the first user and the additional users chat via a corresponding one of the at least two chat groups, and
- the chat screen on the device of the first user displays information related to a game and a game result of a game played by at least one of the first user and the additional users in the corresponding one of the at least two chat groups.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer-readable instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to perform a method, comprising:
- receiving selection of an icon for grouping by a first user of a plurality of users in a chat group, the icon being displayed in association with a chat screen on a device of the first user;
- receiving entry of additional users of the plurality of users into the grouping;
- and
- upon fulfillment of a predetermined condition, grouping the first user and the additional users into one of at least two chat groups,
- wherein the first user and the additional users chat via a corresponding one of the at least two chat groups, and
- the chat screen on the device of the first user displays information related to a game and a game result of a game played by at least one of the first user and the additional users in the corresponding one of the at least two chat groups.
