Information processing method, information processing system and display control device

An information processing system, comprising:

• a generating unit that generates additional information associated with a predetermined position in a content to be displayed;
• a storage unit that stores content data indicating the content;
• a specifying unit that specifies the position in the content, which is associated with the additional information generated by the generating unit;
• a display unit that displays the content indicated by the content data stored in the storage unit;
• a display control unit that controls display by the display unit so that a display area including the position specified by the specifying unit is displayed in preference to other display areas in the display of the content;
• an adding unit that adds an additional image which is an image different from the content, and which is displayed by being associated with a certain position in the content;
• and
• an update unit that performs update of the additional information generated by the generating unit, which is the update of allowing information indicating the additional image added by the adding unit and the position associated with the additional image to be included in the additional information.

A display control device, comprising:

• a first acquisition unit that acquires content data indicating a content to be displayed;
• a second acquisition unit that acquires additional information associated with a predetermined position in the content;
• a specifying unit that specifies the position in the content, which is associated with additional information acquired by the second acquisition unit;
• a display control unit that displays the content indicated by the content data acquired by the first acquisition unit on the display unit and that controls the display so that a display area including the position specified by the specifying unit is displayed in preference to other display areas in the display of the content;
• an adding unit that adds an additional image which is an image different from the content, and which is displayed by being associated with a certain position in the content;
• and
• an update unit that performs update of the additional information acquired by the second acquisition unit, which is the update of allowing information indicating the additional image added by the adding unit and the position associated with the additional image to be included in the additional information.
