Specifically, the shortcut includes registration of a URL of a website (so-called bookmark), registration of a content file storage destination, registration of a content file search key, and the like. The content registered in the shortcut can be accessed more easily, for example, by making it accessible from a dedicated access button or by setting it as an initial value. The shortcut is an example of a function that is beneficial to the user in using the content, such as facilitating the use of the content, expanding the usage range of the content, and presenting content information.

In the following, as an example, the content is one element in the game, for example, the game is a timing game, and one element is data (hereinafter referred to as “operation score”) representing a pattern for giving an operation instruction to the user in the timing game. ) Will be described. This operation score can be freely created by the user of the terminal device 30 and can be disclosed to other users. Hereinafter, applying a shortcut to an operation score is referred to as favorite registration. The operation musical score registered as a favorite is called a favorite operation musical score.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overview of an evaluation function and a favorite registration function in the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 1 shows three screen examples GR1 to GR3 displayed by the terminal device 30. The screen example GR1 is an example of an evaluation input screen that is displayed when an operation score is evaluated. The screen example GR2 is an example of an evaluation reference screen that is displayed when referring to the evaluation of the operation score. The screen example GR3 is an example of a pre-play start screen that is displayed before the start of play.

The terminal device 30 is a device that executes a timing game, and the evaluation input screen GR1 is displayed after the timing game is played, for example. Here, the timing game is a game that takes timing in accordance with rhythm, music, image movement, and the like. In this case, the user selects a music or video to be played and one or more operation music prepared in advance for each music or video to play the timing game.
