Abstract: The present invention is intended to realize character string input using two or more devices by an efficient technique. A character string input system includes a first information processing apparatus and a second information processing apparatus. The first information processing apparatus acquires an operation done on a first input device and acquires a first character string on the basis of the acquired operation. The second information processing apparatus acquires an operation done on a second input device and acquires a second character string on the basis of the acquired operation. The first information processing apparatus outputs an input character string on the basis of the first character string acquired by the time input of the second character string is started by use of the second input device and the second character string.

Abstract: A game image generating section 120 generates a first image and a second image of an application. An image providing section 152 provides the first image to an output apparatus 4. A sharing processing section 160 streaming-distributes the second image to the sharing server. A display image generating section 150 may generate a display image including at least the first image and information associated with the second image. In addition, the sharing processing section 160 may instruct the application to generate the second image on the basis of a request from a viewing user.

Abstract: A game image being played by a user A is shared with a user C. A mode setting unit sets one sharing mode from between at least two sharing modes. The first mode is a mode in which a game image is shared while the user C does not have a control right of a game, and the second mode is a mode in which the control right of the game is passed to a user B in place of the user A. The third mode is a mode in which both of the user A and the user C have the control right of the game. The mode setting unit sets one mode from among the modes.
