Information processing apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium that controls a representation of a user object in a virtual space

Abstract

Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a first information acquisition unit configured to acquire first information indicating behavior of at least one user; a second information acquisition unit configured to acquire second information on the at least one user, the second information being different from the first information; and a display control unit configured to display, in a display unit, a user object which is configured based on the first information and represents the corresponding at least one user and a virtual space which is configured based on the second information and in which the user object are arranged.

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising circuitry configured to:
 acquire a behavior pattern for each user of a plurality of users based on a behavior log of each user to construct a recommendation group of users whose behavior patterns are highly correlated; and   receive a registration for a previously unregistered user selected from the recommendation group.   
     
     
         2 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
 display the recommendation group for selection by a particular user of the plurality of users.   
     
     
         3 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the recommendation group of users is determined to be highly correlated based on each user of the recommendation group having a similar score value. 
     
     
         4 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the score value of each user of the recommendation group is associated with a behavior of the respective user. 
     
     
         5 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
 acquire the behavior pattern for each user of the plurality of users by performing statistical processing on behavior information of each user of the plurality of users.   
     
     
         6 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of user objects are displayed to indicate a behavior of the respective user. 
     
     
         7 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the behavior patterns are highly correlated over a period of time. 
     
     
         8 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein each user of the plurality of users has an associated profile. 
     
     
         9 . The information processing apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the associated profile of each user comprises an age, a gender and an occupation. 
     
     
         10 . A method in an information processing system, the method comprising:
 acquiring a behavior pattern for each user of a plurality of users based on a behavior log of each user to construct a recommendation group of users whose behavior patterns are highly correlated; and   receiving a registration for a previously unregistered user selected from the recommendation group.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 displaying the recommendation group for selection by a particular user of the plurality of users.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the recommendation group of users is determined to be highly correlated based on each user of the recommendation group having a similar score value. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the score value of each user of the recommendation group is associated with a behavior of the respective user. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 acquiring the behavior pattern for each user of the plurality of users by performing statistical processing on behavior information of each user of the plurality of users.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein each of the plurality of user objects are displayed to indicate a behavior of the respective user. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the behavior patterns are highly correlated over a period of time. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein each user of the plurality of users has an associated profile. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the associated profile of each user comprises an age, a gender and an occupation. 
     
     
         19 . A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for causing a computer to:
 acquire a behavior pattern for each user of a plurality of users based on a behavior log of each user to construct a recommendation group of users whose behavior patterns are highly correlated; and   receive a registration for a previously unregistered user selected from the recommendation group.
