On the other hand, when the comment information distribution request is not received in step S101 (step S101-NO), the communication unit 22 determines whether the comment data transmitted from the terminal device 3 has been received (step S104). ). When comment data is not received from the terminal device 3 (step S104—NO), the process proceeds to step S101.
On the other hand, when the comment data is received from the terminal device 3 by the communication unit 22 (step S104—YES), the determination unit 24 determines whether the comment included in the comment data is stored in the converted data storage unit 23. (Step S105). When the comment included in the received comment data is stored in the converted data storage unit 23 (step S105—YES), the comment conversion unit 25 refers to the converted data storage unit 23 for the comment of the received comment data. Conversion is performed (step S108), and the process proceeds to step S106.
On the other hand, when the comment included in the received comment data is not stored in the converted data storage unit 23 (step S105-NO), the content information management unit 25 applies the content based on the video ID included in the received comment data. The comment information to be specified is specified, and the received comment data is additionally stored in the comment information storage unit 21 (step S106). Here, if the comment has been converted in step S108, the converted comment is stored.

  When the comment data is additionally stored, the comment information distribution unit 27 distributes the additionally stored comment data to the terminal device 3 that is viewing the comment of the comment information in which the comment data is additionally stored (step). S107).

Next, operation | movement of the terminal device 3 is demonstrated using drawing. 8 and 9 are flowcharts for explaining the operation of the terminal device 3.
First, in FIG. 8, the video playback unit 311 of the terminal device 3 receives a video input to be played from the input unit 317 from the user on the menu screen, and further receives a video playback instruction (step). S201-YES), the moving image ID of the instructed moving image is transmitted to the moving image distribution server 1, the moving image distribution request is made and the moving image data is received, and the distribution request for the moving image ID, the user ID, and the comment information is sent to the comment distribution server 2. The comment information corresponding to the moving image ID is received and stored in the comment information storage unit 313 (step S202). Here, if the comment information includes comment data of a text comment, the comment data of the text, comment grant time, comment posting real time, user name, comment identification flag, comment output information are received, and comment information is received. If comment data of content comment is included, comment identification time, comment posting actual time, user name, content identification information stored as comment content of comment information, content name, comment identification flag, comment output Receive method. Here, it is also possible to store the received comment information separately for text comment data and content comment data according to the comment identification flag.
Further, when the received comment information includes comment data whose content is the comment content, the content identification information included in the comment data is transmitted to the content distribution server 5 to make a content distribution request, and the content distribution server The content is downloaded from 5 (step S203). When there are a plurality of contents, the download is performed in order from the earliest comment adding time, that is, the contents displayed first when the moving image is reproduced.

  Next, the terminal device 3, when the download reception time has passed a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) or when the download is completed before the content according to the comment addition time is output, The reproduction of the moving image distributed from the moving image distribution server 1 is started (step S204), and the presence / absence of comment data matching the moving image reproduction time is determined based on the current moving image reproduction time (step S205). If there is comment data that matches the video playback time (step S206—YES), the comment / content identification information is referenced to determine whether or not the comment is content (step S207). In step S207-NO), it is determined that the comment is a text, and the process proceeds to step S210 to perform output control of the comment. On the other hand, when the content of the comment is content (step S207-YES), it is determined whether the content is stored in the content storage unit 322 (step S208), and stored in the content storage unit 322. (Step S208—YES), the content is read from the content storage unit 322 (Step S209). Then, output control of the read content is performed (step S210).

On the other hand, when the content corresponding to the content identification information is not stored in the content storage unit 322 in step S208 (step S208-NO), the alternative content is read (step S212), and the process proceeds to step S210 and the alternative content is transferred. The output is controlled as a comment.
Then, the moving image playback unit 311 determines whether or not the playback of the moving image has ended (step S211). If the playback has ended (step S211—YES), the processing ends and the playback ends. If not (NO in step S211), the process proceeds to step S205.

In step S206, the case where there is no comment data matching the moving image playback time (step S206—NO) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
The terminal device 3 determines whether or not a comment has been input (step S220). If it is determined that a comment has been input (step S220—YES), the terminal device 3 determines whether or not the comment is content. (Step S221). If the comment is a content (step S221-YES), the moving image ID, comment adding time, user name, comment identification flag, content identification information, comment output method, and user ID are transmitted to the comment distribution server 2 (step S222). ) If the comment is text (step S221-NO), the moving image ID, comment grant time, user name, comment identification flag, text, comment output method, and user ID are transmitted to the comment distribution server 2 (step S223). ). Then, the process proceeds to step S211.

  On the other hand, if no comment is input in step S220 (step S220—NO), the receiving unit 312 detects whether or not comment data has been received from the comment distribution server 2 (step S224). When the comment data is received (step S224-YES), the reception unit 312 additionally stores the received comment data in the comment information storage unit 313 (step S225), and the comment identification flag included in the received comment data , It is determined whether or not the additionally stored comment is content (step S226). If the comment is not content (NO in step S226), the process proceeds to step S211.

  On the other hand, if the content is content (YES in step S226), the terminal device 3 detects whether or not the content corresponding to the content identification information is stored in the content storage unit 322 (step S227), and the content storage unit 322 stores the content. If stored (step S227-YES), the process proceeds to step S211. If not stored in the content storage unit 322 (step S227-NO), the download unit 321 causes the content corresponding to the content identification information to be stored in the content. Download is performed from the distribution server 5 (step S228), and the process proceeds to step S211. Here, the processing from step S211 is performed while downloading.

  On the other hand, if no comment data is received in step S224 (step S224-NO), the input unit 317 determines whether or not a comment selection operation has been performed (step S229). (Step S229-NO), the process proceeds to Step S211, and if there is a comment selection operation (Step S229-YES), the video playback position is rewound according to the video playback time corresponding to the comment addition time of the selected comment data. Or fast forward (step S230), and the process proceeds to step S211.

By performing such processing, various comments are sequentially output to the output device 314 of the terminal device 3 in accordance with the playback time of the moving image. For example, when the comment “It is boring” is made and the comment is not converted, the comment is displayed as it is as shown in FIG. 10A, but the above-described comment conversion is performed. Thus, for example, as shown in FIG. 10B, it is converted into a comment such as “Let's find interesting!” And displayed. In addition, an advertisement (FIG. 10 (c)) or an illustration (FIG. 10 (d)) of a store that provides a product displayed as a moving image is displayed. When the comment is a voice, voice data such as music and sound effects are output from the output device 314 as voice.
It is also possible to execute an application such as a game as a comment at the time of moving image reproduction. In addition, the comment may be converted into an interesting word, a moral word, a dialect or the like.
In this way, by converting the comment, it is possible to change a comment that is not suitable for the thread or a comment that is not interesting to another expression, so that communication and entertainment can be improved. Also, the user can enjoy what kind of remarks are made and what kind of comments are converted.

In the embodiment described above, the case where the comment is converted on the comment distribution server 2 side has been described. However, the comment may be converted on the terminal device 3 side.
Next, the case where the terminal device 3 performs comment conversion will be described. FIG. 11 is a schematic block diagram illustrating the configuration of the terminal device 3 according to another embodiment. In FIG. 11, portions having functions similar to those of the respective portions in FIG. 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals as the portions corresponding to FIG. 5, and description thereof is omitted.
The conversion data storage unit 324 stores conversion data in which a comment to be converted is associated with a comment after the comment is converted. The conversion data described in FIG. 4 can be applied to this conversion data.

The determination unit 325 refers to the conversion data storage unit 324 and determines whether the comment to be converted is included in the comment information received by the reception unit 312.
Based on the determination result of the determination unit 325, the comment conversion unit 326 refers to the conversion data storage unit 324 for the received comment when the comment information received by the reception unit 312 includes a comment to be converted. , Converted to a comment after conversion corresponding to the comment, the comment information after conversion is stored in the comment information storage unit 313, and if the received comment information does not include a comment to be converted, a comment Are stored in the comment information storage unit 313.

Next, the operation of the terminal device 3 in the configuration of FIG. 11 will be described.

Therefore, the case where there is no comment data matching the moving image reproduction time in step S206 of FIG. 8 (step S206—NO) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
The terminal device 3 determines whether or not a comment has been input (step S250). If it is determined that a comment has been input (YES in step S250), the terminal device 3 determines whether or not the comment is content. (Step S251). When the comment is a content (step S251—YES), the moving image ID, comment adding time, user name, comment identification flag, content identification information, comment output method, and user ID are transmitted to the comment distribution server 2 (step S252). ) If the comment is text (step S251-NO), the moving image ID, comment grant time, user name, comment identification flag, text, comment output method, and user ID are transmitted to the comment distribution server 2 (step S253). ). Then, the process proceeds to step S211.

  On the other hand, if no comment is input in step S250 (step S250-NO), the receiving unit 312 detects whether or not comment data has been received from the comment distribution server 2 (step S254). Here, when comment data is received (step S254—YES), the reception unit 312 determines whether or not the comment of the received comment data is stored in the converted data storage unit 324 (step S255). When the received comment is stored in the conversion data storage unit 324 (step S255—YES), the comment conversion unit 326 converts the received comment with reference to the conversion data storage unit 324 (step S256), and step S257. Migrate to

On the other hand, when the comment included in the received comment data is not stored in the conversion data storage unit 324 (step S255—NO), the comment conversion unit 326 additionally stores the received comment data in the comment information storage unit 313 ( Step S257). Here, if the comment has not been converted in step S256, the comment data that has not been converted is additionally stored in step S257. Then, referring to the comment identification flag included in the received comment data, it is determined whether or not the additionally stored comment is content (step S258). If it is not content (step S258-NO), the process goes to step S211. Transition.
On the other hand, if it is content (step S258-YES), the terminal device 3 detects whether or not the content corresponding to the content identification information is stored in the content storage unit 322 (step S259), and the content storage unit 322 stores the content. If stored (step S259-YES), the process proceeds to step S211. If not stored in the content storage unit 322 (step S259-NO), the download unit 321 sets the content corresponding to the content identification information to the content. Download is performed from the distribution server 5 (step S260), and the process proceeds to step S211. Here, the processing from step S211 is performed while downloading.

  On the other hand, if no comment data is received in step S253 (step S254-NO), the input unit 317 determines whether or not a comment selection operation has been performed (step S261). (Step S261-NO), the process proceeds to Step S211, and if there is a comment selection operation (Step S261-YES), the video playback position is rewound according to the video playback time corresponding to the comment grant time of the selected comment data. Or fast forward (step S262), the process proceeds to step S211.
