and in response to determining that the change that satisfies the predetermined condition occurred in the pseudo-emotion or the pseudo-character of the object during the certain period, causing a display to display change information indicating that the change occurred during the certain period. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The display control method according to claim 1, wherein the certain period is one day, and wherein in response to a date having changed, the one or more processors determine based on, of the history information, a portion corresponding to a previous day whether the change that satisfies the predetermined condition occurred in the pseudo-emotion or the pseudo-character of the object on the previous day. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The display control method according to claim 1, wherein the history information includes a history of an emotion parameter representing the pseudo-emotion of the object, and wherein in response to determining that the change that satisfies the predetermined condition occurred in the emotion parameter during the certain period, the one or more processors cause the display to display the change information indicating the change in the pseudo-emotion during the certain period. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The display control method according to claim 3, wherein the emotion parameter represents one of emotions different from one another, the emotions being included in the pseudo-emotion, and wherein in response to an increase in a degree of a predetermined positive emotion among the emotions having occurred as the change in the emotion parameter during the certain period, the emotion parameter representing the predetermined positive emotion, the one or more processors determine that the predetermined condition is satisfied and cause the display to display the change information. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The display control method according to claim 1, wherein the history information includes a history of a character parameter representing the pseudo-character of the object, and wherein in response to determining that the change that satisfies the predetermined condition occurred in the character parameter during the certain period, the one or more processors cause the display to display the change information indicating the change in the pseudo-character during the certain period. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The display control method according to claim 5, wherein the character parameter includes character values indicating degrees of characters different from one another, the characters being included in the pseudo-character, and wherein in response to, among the character values, a character value having increased by a reference value or more during the certain period, the one or more processors determine that the predetermined condition is satisfied and cause the display to display the change information indicating the change in, among the characters, a character corresponding to the character value having increased by the reference value or more during the certain period. ### Claim 7 A system comprising: an object; a terminal device; and one or more processors that are included in the object and/or the terminal device and configured to determine, based on history information on a history of a state of an object, whether a change that satisfies a predetermined condition occurred in a pseudo-emotion or a pseudo-character of the object during a certain period, and in response to determining that the change that satisfies the predetermined condition occurred in the pseudo-emotion or the pseudo-character of the object during the certain period, cause a display to display change information indicating that the change occurred during the certain period. ### Claim 8 A system comprising: a server; a terminal device; and one or more processors that are included in the server and/or the terminal device and configured to determine, based on history information on a history of a state of an object, whether a change that satisfies a predetermined condition occurred in a pseudo-emotion or a pseudo-character of the object during a certain period, and in response to determining that the change that satisfies the predetermined condition occurred in the pseudo-emotion or the pseudo-character of the object during the certain period, cause a display to display change information indicating that the change occurred during the certain period.
