[Object] To provide an information processing apparatus and an information processing system that make it possible to play a game smoothly while using a mobile communication system.

[Solving Means] An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes a control section and a communication section. The control section selects a slice according to a genre of a game for which a request for information that is necessary for game play is made by a terminal, and assigns, to the information, an identifier that indicates the slice used to communicate the information. The communication section transmits the information to the terminal through a communication network.

A game system operates by: receiving character attribute selection data to be associated with a game character, wherein the character attribute selection data indicates a unique subset of a set of character attributes of a character attribute database; generating, based on the character attribute selection data, display data associated with the game character; facilitating, based on the display data associated with the game character, generation of a player token NFT associated with the game character; and preventing use of the unique subset of character attributes of the character attribute database in generating other game characters.

Techniques including data collection, organization and usage are provided, including in connection with computer-based gaming. Methods and systems are provided for establishing a set of data chronicling at least a portion of a duration of a computer-based gaming event that includes at least one user engaging in gaming using a computer or a computer-based device. Event data is obtained for chronicling chronologically ordered in-game events. Hardware and software related data is obtained that relates to the computer or the computer-based device and is relevant to the chronicling of the portion of the gaming event. Utilizing a distributed ledger technology or blockchain, the event data and the hardware and software related data are recorded in establishing the set of data chronicling at least a portion of the duration of the gaming event.

A method for automatically connecting game items for sharing by a plurality of game systems is disclosed. A first game system is added to a computer-implemented game. The first game system is associated with a first game system definition. The first game system definition corresponding to a first game object. The first game system is automatically connected to a second game system. The automatic connecting includes, at least: identifying a correspondence between the first game system definition and a second game system definition, the second game system definition being associated with the second game system, the second game system definition corresponding to a second game object; and preventing a change to the first game object during runtime of the computer-implemented game based on a detection that the change to the first game object would violate a rule associated with the second game system definition.

Interaction output over a local computer-readable medium (CRM) generated based on user interaction with rendered content input representing a virtualized asset being is received at a virtualized asset local provisioning server. A manner to exploit the virtualized asset is determined from interaction output. The virtualized asset is exploited based on the determined manner to exploit the virtualized asset. A request for a portion of the virtualized asset generated in response to the exploiting the virtualized asset is intercepted. If it is determined that the portion of the virtualized asset is absent from the local storage, a request for the portion of the virtualized asset is sent to a virtualized asset delivery system over a non-local CRM; the portion of the virtualized asset retrieved by the virtualized asset delivery system is received over the non-local CRM; and the received portion of the virtualized asset is used in exploiting the virtualized asset.
