Information processing system, information processing method, and computer program

An information processing method by one or more processors included in an information processing system that provides a virtual space, the method comprising:

• receiving information sent from a first user terminal of a first user;
• determining a state of the first user terminal based on the received information;
• in response to determining that the state of the first user terminal is a first state, increasing a value of a first parameter associated with the first user by a first ratio while the first state continues;
• in response to determining that the state of the first user terminal has changed from the first state to a second state, changing the first ratio to a second ratio such that the value of the first parameter is increased by the second ratio while the second state continues;
• and
• associating a predetermined reward with the first user according to the value of the first parameter, wherein
• the second state is either (i) a distribution state in which a first video is being distributed at the first user terminal, the first video including a first character object animated according to sensor data of tracked movement of the first user or (ii) a viewing state in which the first video is being viewed at the first user terminal,
• the first state is an active state in which an application for providing the virtual space is activated at the first user terminal, the first state not corresponding to either the distribution state or the viewing state,
• the first parameter continuously increases by the first ratio while the first state of the first user terminal continues regardless of user action, and
• the first parameter continuously increases by the second ratio while the second state of the first user terminal continues regardless of user action.

An information processing method by one or more processors included in an information processing device of a first user included in an information processing system that provides a virtual space, the method comprising:

• determining a state of the information processing device of the first user;
• in response to determining that the state of the information processing device is a first state, increasing a value of a first parameter associated with the first user by a first ratio while the first state continues;
• in response to determining that the state of the information processing device has changed from the first state to a second state, changing the first ratio to a second ratio such that the value of the first parameter is increased by the second ratio while the second state continues;
• and
• associating a predetermined reward with the first user according to the value of the first parameter, wherein
• the second state is either (i) a distribution state in which a first video is being distributed at the information processing device, the first video including a first character object animated according to sensor data of tracked movement of the first user or (ii) a viewing state in which the first video is being viewed at the information processing device, and,
• the first state is an active state in which an application for providing the virtual space is activated at the information processing device, the first state not corresponding to either the distribution state or the viewing state,
• the first parameter continuously increases by the first ratio while the first state of the information processing device continues regardless of user action, and
• the first parameter continuously increases by the second ratio while the second state of the information processing device continues regardless of user action.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing thereon a program that causes one or more processors included in an information processing device of a first user included in an information processing system that provides a virtual space to execute:

• determining a state of the information processing device of the first user;
• in response to determining that the state of the information processing device is a first state, increasing a value of a first parameter associated with the first user by a first ratio while the first state continues;
• in response to determining that the state of the information processing device has changed from the first state to a second state, changing the first ratio to a second ratio such that the value of the first parameter is increased by the second ratio while the second state continues;
• and
• associating a predetermined reward with the first user according to the value of the first parameter, wherein
• the second state is either (i) a distribution state in which a first video is being distributed at the information processing device, the first video including a first character object animated according to sensor data of tracked movement of the first user or (ii) a viewing state in which the first video is being viewed at the information processing device,
• the first state is an active state in which an application for providing the virtual space is activated at the information processing device, the first state not corresponding to either the distribution state or the viewing state,
• the first parameter continuously increases by the first ratio while the first state of the information processing device continues regardless of user action, and
• the first parameter continuously increases by the second ratio while the second state of the information processing device continues regardless of user action.
