Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a live streaming management system in this embodiment. The live streaming management system in this embodiment is embodied as a live streaming management system 1. The live streaming management system 1 includes a live streaming management device 2 that accepts information, generates addresses for participating in live streaming, manages information, calculates time, and processes information display, a user terminal 3 operated by a user, and an administrator terminal 4 operated by an administrator, which are communicatively connected via a communication network NW. Note that while only one user terminal 3 and one administrator terminal 4 are shown in Figure 1, there may be multiple of these. The communication network NW is composed of an IP (Internet Protocol) network such as the Internet. Note that in the following explanation, the inclusion of the communication network NW will be omitted unless it is unclear.

The live streaming management device 2 includes, as functional components, a live streaming information receiving means 201, a timing designation information receiving means 202, a generating means 203, a storing means 204, a calculating means 205, a display processing means 206, a receiving means 207, a searching means 208, a notifying means 209, and a database DB.

The user terminal 3 and the administrator terminal 4 can receive the display processing results of the various screens sent from the live streaming management device 2, and display the various screens on the display unit by processing based on the display processing results.

Figures 3A to 3D (hereinafter referred to as Figure 3) show an example of data in an embodiment of the present invention.

The reception means 207 receives general user information from the user, such as an email address, name, telephone number, address, and password for logging in to the service. The storage means 204 stores the user information received by the reception means 207 in association with a user ID, as shown in FIG. 3(a).

The live streaming information receiving means 201 receives live streaming information related to an overview of the live streaming. The live streaming information includes the start date and time of the live streaming, the duration, the type, the broadcaster, etc. The received live streaming information is linked to the live streaming ID by the storage means 204 as shown in FIG. 3(b) and stored in the database DB.

The timing designation information receiving means 202 receives timing designation information that designates the timing for generating an address for participating in live streaming. The timing for generating an address for participating in live streaming may be an arbitrarily designated time, date, or day of the week, or may be when live streaming information is received or when an instruction to generate an address is received. For example, if midnight on Monday is designated as the timing, an address for participating in live streaming is generated by the generating means 203 at midnight on Monday. If the time for receiving live streaming information is designated as the timing, an address for participating in live streaming is generated by the generating means 203 when the live streaming information receiving means 201 receives the live streaming information. If the time for receiving an instruction to generate an address is designated as the timing, an address for participating in live streaming is generated by the generating means 203 when an instruction to generate an address is received. The instruction to generate an address may be given by, for example, the administrator pressing a generation instruction button.

The generating means 203 generates an address for participating in the live distribution based on the timing designation information specified by the timing designation information receiving means 202. The generated address is linked to the live distribution ID together with the live distribution information by the storing means 204 as shown in FIG. 3(b), and is stored in the database DB.

The calculation means 205 calculates the live streaming participation time, which is the time when the user participated in the live streaming. The user's live streaming participation time may be calculated based on the length of the live streaming time when the user presses an address for participating in the live streaming. For example, if a user presses an address at 9:08 on September 2, 2022, 30 minutes is specified as the length of the live streaming time from FIG. 3(b), and the user's live streaming participation time is calculated as 30 minutes. The user's live streaming participation time may also be calculated based on the time when the user actually participated in the live. In this case, the date of participation in the live streaming, the live streaming ID, and the length of the participation time are stored in the database DB by the storage means 204 as shown in FIG. 3(c). The calculated live streaming participation time is stored in the database DB as a log of user 00001, as shown in FIG. 3(d), linked to the date, as user information.

The display processing means 206 displays the live streaming participation time of the user calculated by the calculation means 205. The display processing means 206 can display the live streaming participation time of each user based on the log of each user as shown in FIG. 3(d). The live streaming participation time is displayed as a numerical value, a figure, a table, a graph, or the like. For example, since the calculation means 205 can calculate the length of the user's live streaming participation time in one day, the display processing means 206 can display the user's live streaming participation time in a week in a line graph with the horizontal axis representing the date and the vertical axis representing the live streaming participation time in one day. In addition, the live streaming participation time of the user in a month can be displayed in a line graph with the horizontal axis representing the date and the vertical axis representing the live streaming participation time in one day. In addition, the calculation means 205 can calculate the total or daily average of the user's live streaming participation time in one month, and thereby display the line graph with the horizontal axis representing January to December and the vertical axis representing the total or daily average of the live streaming participation time in one month. The display may be processed as a pie chart or the like other than a line graph. Furthermore, the administrator can check how many times a live broadcast has been viewed.

The receiving means 207 receives user status information from the user, which is related to the user's own condition. As the user status information, it is possible to receive the user's mental or physical condition for one day. The mental or physical condition may be received as a numerical value. For example, the maximum value of the numerical value is 10 and the minimum value is 0, and the user inputs 10 when the mental or physical condition is the best, and 0 when the condition is the worst. In addition to this, a general method of rating may be adopted, such as accepting input from options such as Excellent, Very good, Good, Bad, and Very bad. In addition to accepting the daily condition, the mental or physical condition may be accepted for a period such as a week. Furthermore, it is possible to accept the time spent meditating, etc., by the user personally in one day, as the user status information. By accepting the time spent meditating, etc., by the user personally in one day, the user can more accurately record the length of time spent meditating, etc., in one day. Furthermore, it is possible to accept comments from the user as the user status information. By accepting comments from the user about one day, the user can record the condition of one day in more detail.

Furthermore, the display processing means 206 displays the user state information received by the receiving means 207. The display processing means 206 can display the user state information for each user based on the log for each user as shown in FIG. 3(d). When the mental state or physical state is received as a numerical value, it is displayed as a numerical value, a diagram, a table, a graph, or the like. For example, the receiving means 207 receives the user's mental state and physical state for one day as a numerical value as shown in FIG. 3(d) and stores it in the database DB as user information. Since it is stored in the database DB as shown in FIG. 3(d), the user's mental state for a certain week can be displayed as a line graph with the horizontal axis representing the date and the vertical axis representing the mental state for one day. In addition, the user's mental state for a certain month can be displayed as a line graph with the horizontal axis representing the date and the vertical axis representing the mental state for one day. Furthermore, by the calculation means 205 calculating the total value of the user's mental state over a month or the daily average, it is possible to display the result as a line graph with the horizontal axis being from January to December and the vertical axis being the total value of the mental state over a month or the daily average. The physical condition can also be displayed as a similar line graph. It may also be displayed as a pie chart or the like other than a line graph. The amount of time the user spent meditating or otherwise personally each day is also displayed as a number, diagram, table, graph, or the like. It can also be displayed in the same way as the line graph of the user's participation time in live streaming described above.

Furthermore, the display processing means 206 may simultaneously display the live streaming participation time calculated by the calculation means 205 and the user state information accepted by the acceptance means 207. The display processing means 206 may display the total time of the user's live streaming participation time and the time of the user's personal meditation or other activities in one day as mindfulness time. The display processing means 206 may also display the user's live streaming participation time or the time of the user's personal meditation or other activities in one day. By simultaneously displaying the mindfulness time, mental state, physical state, comments, etc., the display processing means 206 can analyze how much time it takes to practice mindfulness to improve one's mental state or physical state. The above-mentioned line graph can also be used to display the mental state, physical state, and mindfulness time on the same line graph. Figure 4 shows an example of a screen display in which the user's mental state, physical state, and mindfulness time for one week are displayed on the same line graph.

Furthermore, the storage means 204 links the archived video of the live broadcast to the live broadcast information and stores it in the database DB. As shown in FIG. 3(e), the archived video and the live broadcast information are stored linked to the archived video ID.

Furthermore, the display processing means 206 displays a list of archived videos based on the live streaming information. By storing the archived videos in association with the live streaming information, the archived videos can be displayed for each date on which the live streaming was performed. FIG. 5 shows an example of a display screen for a list of archived videos. 9.15 Thu and 9.14 Wed represent the start date of the live streaming. FIG. 5 shows that there are 12 archived videos of live streaming that started on September 15th. 22:00, 21:00, 20:00, etc. represent the time when the live streaming started. Sleep, Basic, Mindfulness Yoga, etc. represent the type of live streaming. ABCD, XYZ, AAAAA, etc. represent the streaming that was performed live. The circular frame to the left of ABCD, XYZ, AAAAA, etc. may include a face photo of the streamer, which will be described later. 45 min, 30 min, 15 min represent the duration of the live streaming or archived video.

Furthermore, the calculation means 205 may calculate the archive video viewing time, which is the time the user has viewed the archive video. The user's archive video viewing time is calculated based on the time the user has actually viewed the archive video. As shown in FIG. 3(f), the date, the archive video ID, and the length of viewing time are stored in the database DB as user information as the archive video viewing history of user 00001. This allows the calculation means 205 to calculate the length of the archive video viewing time for one day for user 00001. The user's archive video viewing time may also be calculated based on the length of the archive video when the user presses an address for viewing the archive video. Since the archive video is stored in association with live streaming information, it can be calculated by referring to the length of the live streaming time. The calculated archive video viewing time is stored in the database DB as user information, linked to the date, by the storage means 204, as the log of user 00001, as shown in FIG. 3(d). The display processing means 206 can display and process the archive video viewing time for each user based on the log for each user. It can also be displayed in the same way as the line graph of users' live streaming participation time mentioned above.

Furthermore, the display processing means 206 may simultaneously display the live streaming participation time calculated by the calculation means 205 and the user state information accepted by the acceptance means 207, as well as the archive video viewing time calculated by the calculation means 205. The display processing means 206 can display the total time of the user's live streaming participation time, the time spent meditating or the like by the user personally in a day, and the user's archive video viewing time as mindfulness time. The display processing means 206 may also display the user's live streaming participation time, the time spent meditating or the like by the user personally in a day, or the user's archive video viewing time. By simultaneously displaying the mindfulness time, mental state, physical state, comments, etc., the display processing means 206 can analyze how long the user needs to do mindfulness to improve their mental state or physical state. The above-mentioned line graph can also be used to display the mental state, physical state, and mindfulness time on the same line graph.

Furthermore, the reception means 207 may receive at least one piece of live streaming information from the user.

The search means 208 searches for archived videos based on the live streaming information accepted by the acceptance means 207. The display processing means 206 then processes and displays the search results searched by the search means 208. If "Basic" is accepted as the live streaming information, all archived videos of live streaming whose type is "Basic" are searched for. September 1st and "Basic" may also be accepted as the live streaming information. In that case, all archived videos of live streaming whose type is "Basic" that was streamed on September 1st are searched for. The search means 208 can perform a search because the archived videos are stored in the database DB together with the live streaming information as shown in FIG. 3(e). FIG. 6 shows an example of a screen display when a live streaming whose type is "Walk" is searched for.

Furthermore, the display processing means 206 may display a schedule of live streaming based on the live streaming information. When the live streaming information includes the start date and time of the live streaming and the duration, the live streaming schedule can be displayed. One possible method of displaying the schedule is to display a calendar. Other general methods of displaying a schedule are also possible. Figure 7 shows an example of a schedule screen display.

Furthermore, the live streaming information receiving means 201 may receive a color, icon, or comment corresponding to the type of live streaming. The received color, icon, or comment corresponding to the type of live streaming is stored in the database DB by the storage means 204 together with the type of live streaming as shown in FIG. 3(g). By storing the color, icon, or comment corresponding to the type of live streaming, the color, icon, or comment can be displayed when displaying a schedule or a list of archived videos.

Furthermore, the live streaming information accepting means 201 may accept a facial photo of the live streamer. The accepted facial photo of the streamer is stored in the database DB together with the streamer as shown in FIG. 3(h) by the storage means 204. By accepting a facial photo of the streamer who streams live, the facial photo of the streamer can be displayed when displaying a schedule or a list of archived videos. For example, the facial photo may be displayed in a circular frame to the left of streamers "ABCD", "XYZ", "AAAAA", etc. in FIG. 5.

The reception unit 207 may also receive a favorite registration of a live streaming type or a broadcaster from the user. The favorite of the accepted live streaming type is stored in the database DB as user information together with the live streaming type as shown in FIG. 3(i). The favorite of the accepted live streaming broadcaster is stored in the database DB as user information together with the live streaming broadcaster as shown in FIG. 3(j). The display processing unit 206 performs display processing to distinguish between the favorited live streaming type or broadcaster's schedule and other schedules. For example, a display processing may be performed so that the user can identify the favorited live streaming type or broadcaster's schedule, such as by adding a heart mark. As long as the user can identify it, the display method is not important. FIG. 8 shows an example of a schedule screen display when the live streaming type "Basic" and the broadcaster "Richard" are favorited.

Furthermore, the reception means 207 may receive push notification settings from the user. Possible push notification settings include a notification before the start of live streaming, a notification the day before favorites, and a user status information input reminder notification. For the notification before the start of live streaming, the notification means 209 notifies the user before the start of the live streaming set in advance to "notify". The time to notify can be set arbitrarily. For example, if the setting is set to 10 minutes before, the notification means 209 notifies the user 10 minutes before the start of the live streaming set in advance to "notify". For the notification the day before favorites, the notification means 209 notifies the user when the live streaming of the type of live streaming or the broadcaster set in favorites will be held the next day. The time to notify can be set arbitrarily. For example, if the setting is set to 7:50, the notification means 209 notifies the user at 7:50 the day before the live streaming of the type of live streaming or the broadcaster set in favorites will be held. The user status information input reminder notification is sent to the user by the notification means 209 at the time the reminder notification for inputting user status information is set. The time of notification can be set arbitrarily; for example, if the setting is 7:50, the notification means 209 will send the user a reminder notification for inputting user status information every day at 7:50. Each notification setting is stored in the database DB as user information by the storage means 204, as shown in FIG. 3(d).

The notification means 209 notifies the user based on the push notification settings accepted by the reception unit 207.

Figure 9 shows a flowchart of the process for generating an address for participating in a live broadcast.

In step S91, the live streaming information receiving means 201 receives live streaming information regarding an overview of the live streaming. The live streaming information is information regarding an overview of the live streaming, such as the start date and time of the live streaming, the duration, the type, the broadcaster, etc.

In step S92, the live designation information receiving means 202 receives timing designation information that designates the timing for generating an address for participating in live streaming. The timing designation information for generating an address for participating in live streaming may be any time, date, or day of the week, or may be designated as the time when live streaming information is received or when an instruction to generate an address is received.

In step S93, the generating means 203 generates an address for participating in the live broadcast based on the timing designation information received in step S92.

In step S94, the storage means 204 associates the live streaming information received in step S91 with the address generated in step S93 and stores them in the database DB.

Figure 10 is a flowchart showing the process for displaying the calculated time.

In step S101, the calculation means 205 calculates the user's participation time in a live broadcast, the time spent meditating or otherwise engaged in by the user personally each day from the user status information received from the user, or the user's archive viewing time.

In step S102, the storage means 204 stores the time calculated in step S101 in the database DB. The storage means 204 may store the user's live streaming participation time, the time spent meditating or otherwise engaged in by the user personally in one day among the user status information received from the user, or the user's archive viewing time, or the total time.

In step S103, the display processing means 206 displays the time stored in step S102. The display processing means 206 may display the time using numerical values, figures, tables, graphs, etc. The display processing means 206 may also display the time the user participated in a live broadcast, the time the user spent meditating or otherwise personally engaged in a day among the user status information received from the user, or the time the user spent viewing archives, either individually or simultaneously.
