Information processing apparatus, information processing method, program, and toy system

An information processing method, comprising:

• detecting an interaction event between a first character from among a plurality of characters and a real object based on an image captured by a camera configured to capture a real space,
• wherein the plurality of characters exist in the real space, and
• wherein the first character comprises an assembly of modularized blocks;
• setting a rule for changing a variable attribute value associated with the first character based on the interaction event between the first character and the real object;
• determining an amount of change of the attribute value of the first character based on a kind of a block from among the modularized blocks involved in the interaction event;
• and
• changing the attribute value of the first character by the determined amount based on the set rule.

An information processing apparatus, comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• manage a variable attribute value associated with each of a plurality of characters that exist in a real space;
• detect an interaction event between a first character that comprises an assembly of modularized blocks and a real object based on an image captured by a camera configured to capture the real space;
• set a rule to change the attribute value of the first character based on the interaction event;
• determine an amount of change of the attribute value based on a kind of a block from among the modularized blocks involved in the interaction event;
• and
• change the attribute value of the first character by the determined amount based on the set rule.

An information processing system comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• acquire an image of a real space captured by a camera;
• manage an attribute data associated with a combination of a plurality of objects in a database;
• determine a kind of at least one object among the plurality of objects based on the acquired image;
• determine a physical interaction event between the combination of the plurality of objects and a real object based on the acquired image;
• and
• change the attribute data of the plurality of objects based on the kind of the at least one object and a rule associated with the physical interaction event.

An information processing apparatus, comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• manage a variable attribute value associated with each of a plurality of characters that exist in a real space, wherein each of the plurality of characters comprises an assembly of modularized blocks;
• detect a interaction event between a first character and a real object based on an image captured by a camera configured to capture the real space;
• detect a remote-attack event between the first character and an enemy character based on:
• a user input that is sensed in a state where the first character is shown in the image captured by the camera;
• and
• the enemy character that includes a kind of a block from among the modularized blocks associated with the remote attack event,
• wherein the enemy character comprises a housing that includes the camera;
• set a rule to change the attribute value of the first character based on the interaction event;
• change the attribute value of the first character based on the set rule;
• and
• decrease the attribute value of the first character or the enemy character based on the remote-attack event between the first character and the enemy character.
