Abstract

An example information-processing system includes: at least one processor; and an input device configured to receive an input operation performed by a user directed to posting information displayed by a display. The at least one processor is configured to: display first information that is displayed by executing an application on the display, and the posting information that is posted using a posting information sharing service, and that is associated with the application; and reflect the input operation received by the input device in the posting information sharing service.

Claims

1. An information-processing system comprising:

at least one processor; and

an input device configured to receive an input operation performed by a user directed to posting information displayed by a display,

the at least one processor configured to;

display first information that is displayed by executing an application on the display, and the posting information that is posted using a posting information sharing service, and that is associated with the application; and

reflect the input operation received by the input device in the posting information sharing service.

2. The information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein the posting information is associated with the application by identification information of the application.

3. The information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein a processor included in the at least one processor, the processor configured to:

select the application from among plural applications; and

execute the selected application, wherein the at least one processor displays on the display the first information, which is displayed according to the application executed by the processor, and the posting information, which is associated with the application executed by the processor.

4. The information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one processor reflects a response to the posting information indicated by the input operation received by the input device in the posting information sharing service.

5. The information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one processor reflects the input operation directed to the posting information in the posting information sharing service so that the input operation is associated with the posting information.

6. The information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one processor reflects the input operation in the posting information sharing service so that the input operation is associated with the user.

7. The information-processing system according to claim 6, wherein the at least one processor associates the user who browses the posting information and a contributor of the posting information to form a relationship between the user and the contributor in the posting information sharing service.

8. The information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one processor displays on a display the posting information associated with the application, which posting information satisfies a predetermined condition.

9. The information-processing system according to claim 8, wherein:

the predetermined condition defines a position or timing at which the posting information is displayed; and

the at least one processor displays on the display the posting information that satisfies the predetermined condition at a position or timing defined by the predetermined condition.

10. The information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one processor, when the posting information is predetermined first posting information, reflects the input operation directed to the posting information in the posting information sharing service;

whereas, the at least one processor, when the posting information is predetermined second posting information, does not reflect the input operation directed to the posting information in the posting information sharing service.

11. The information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one processor displays on the display the posting information, for which a predetermined time period has passed after the posting information is posted.

12. A server device comprising:

a transmitter configured to send, to a system that displays information that is displayed by executing an application, posting information that is posted using a posting information sharing service, and that is associated with the application; and

a processor configured to reflect, in a posting information sharing service, an input operation performed by a user of the system, directed to the posting information sent by the transmitter.

13. An information-processing device comprising:

a display controller that displays on a display information that is displayed by executing an application, and posting information that is posted using a posting information sharing service, and that is associated with the application;

an input device configured to receive an input operation performed by a user directed to the posting information displayed by the display; and

a transmitter configured to send, to a server device, input information according to the input operation received by the input device.

14. A non-transitory storage medium that stores a program for causing a computer to execute:

sending, to a system that displays information that is displayed by executing an application, posting information that is posted using a posting information sharing service, and that is associated with the application; and

reflecting, in a posting information sharing service, an input operation performed by a user of the system, directed to the sent posting information.

15. A non-transitory storage medium that stores a program for causing a computer to execute:

displaying information that is displayed by executing an application on a display, and posting information that is posted using a posting information sharing service, and that is associated with the application;

receiving an input operation performed by a user directed to the posting information displayed by the display; and

sending, to a server device, input information according to the received input operation.

16. An information-processing method comprising:

displaying information that is displayed by executing an application, and posting information that is posted using a posting information sharing service, and that is associated with the application;

receiving an input operation performed by a user directed to the displayed posting information; and

reflecting the received input operation in the posting information sharing service.
