Abstract: An information processing device includes an acquisition unit that obtains smoking information from a flavor inhaler, etc., associated to a user terminal; a creation unit that creates output information for outputting a message on the basis of the smoking information, to the user terminal; and a transmission unit that sends the output information to the user terminal or a control device that controls the output of messages to the user terminal. As a result, the retention rate for users using the flavor inhaler can be increased.

Abstract: In a reception step, use information which is transmitted from a user terminal in the case where a flavor suction tool is used, and indicates that the flavor suction tool is used is received. In an allocation step, on the basis of the received use information, a virtual space is allocated to the user terminal. In a transmission step, display information for displaying the virtual space is transmitted to the user terminal. In a distribution step, a message transmitted from the user terminal is distributed to another user terminal allocated to the virtual space.

Abstract: This information processing device including a control unit that generates a display image displaying a profile, which is information representing a chronological change in a parameter related to an operation of generating aerosol performed by an inhalation device generating the aerosol using a base material, and changes the profile and display of the profile in the display image according to a user operation with respect to the profile in the generated display image. The control unit limits a range in which the profile can be changed, and changes the profile according to the user operation indicating a change to the profile within the range in which the profile can be changed.
