Information processing apparatus and image sharing method

A state information acquisition unit 164c acquires information indicating states of a plurality of members from a management server. A room image generation section 124c generates a member display column including information about a member that transmits an image and information about a member that does not transmit an image in different areas based on information indicating a state of each member. A receiving section 104c receives an operation for selecting a member to which an image is transmitted. A request transmission unit 180c transmits a viewing request including information for identifying a selected member to a management server or a distribution server that distributes an image. 状态信息获取部分164c从管理服务器获取指示多个成员的状态的信息。房间图像生成部分124c基于指示各个成员的状态的信息生成成员显示栏，成员显示栏在不同的区域中包括关于发送图像的成员的信息和关于不发送图像的成员的信息。接收部分104c接收用于选择向其发送图像的成员的操作。请求发送部分180c向管理服务器或分发图像的分发服务器发送包括用于识别所选成员的信息的观看请求。
