Terminal devices, information processing methods, and computer readable storage mediums
First Claim
1. A method of information processing at a first terminal configured to communicate with a server through a network, the first terminal being associated with a first user, the server configured to manage a plurality of groups for transmitting or receiving a message, the method comprising:
- displaying, by one or more processors of the first terminal, a list related to a plurality of users of a plurality of terminals based on first information received by near field communication, the first terminal not being included in the plurality of terminals, the plurality of terminals including a second terminal associated with a second user among the plurality of users and a third terminal associated with a third user among the plurality of users;
transmitting, by the one or more processors, second information to the server based on a selection of the second user included in the list and the third user included in the list, the second information defining a first group among the plurality of groups, the first group including the first user of the first terminal, the second user of the second terminal, and the third user of the third terminal, the second information being different from the first information;
displaying, by the one or more processors, third information related to joining a second group among the plurality of groups on a display of the first terminal, the second group being different from the first group, the third information related to joining the second group being received from the server, and the third information being different from the first information and the second information; and
transmitting, by the one or more processors, fourth information related to joining the second group to the server based on a selection associated with the third information displayed on the display of the first terminal, the fourth information being different from the first information, the second information, and the third information.

Abstract
A terminal device includes at least one processor and a transceiver. The at least one processor is configured to execute computer readable instructions to generate a list of a plurality of other terminal devices located within a threshold range from the terminal device via short-range wireless communication. The transceiver is configured to transmit, in response to selection of a set of terminal devices from among the plurality of other terminal devices included in the list, a request to establish an association with users corresponding to terminal devices in the selected set of terminal devices.
