In addition, all the components shown in the embodiments are not necessarily essential components of the present disclosure.

(Embodiment)
As shown in FIG. 1, the distribution system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a distribution server 100, a game server 200, a plurality of distributor terminals 300, and a plurality of viewer terminals 400. Distribution server 100, game server 200, a plurality of distributor terminals 300, and a plurality of viewer terminals 400 are communicably connected via network NW. The network NW is, for example, a WAN (World Area Network).

  The distribution server 100 provides a distribution service via the network NW. For example, the distribution server 100 distributes a distribution screen in which a comment received from a viewer is superimposed on a game play screen of a player who is a distributor to the distributor terminal 300 or the viewer terminal 400 as a live broadcast.

  The game server 200 provides an online game via the network NW. The online game is played by a player who is a distributor using the distributor terminal 300.

  The online game may be one in which a plurality of players participate at the same time and cooperate with each other to progress, or may be confronted with each other. The online game preferably includes information warfare elements. In this case, it is possible to excite by a plurality of players that distribute the game play screen and viewers who post comments including useful information for those distributions.

  Distributor terminal 300 is used by a distributor who plays an online game and distributes the game play screen. The distributor terminal 300 is a device having a communication function such as a personal computer, a tablet terminal, or a smartphone.

  The viewer terminal 400 is a device having a communication function such as a personal computer, a tablet terminal, or a smartphone. The viewer terminal 400 is used by a viewer who views a distribution screen showing a game play situation of a player.

<Configuration of distribution server>
Hereinafter, the configuration of the distribution server 100 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 2, the distribution server 100 includes a communication unit 110 that communicates with other devices, a storage unit 120 that stores various data, a timekeeping unit 130 that measures time, and a control that controls the entire device. Unit 140. These components are connected to each other by a bus line BL.

  The communication unit 110 is a communication interface including a NIC (Network Interface Card controller) for performing wired communication or wireless communication. The communication unit 110 communicates with the distributor terminal 300 and the viewer terminal 400 via the network NW.

  The storage unit 120 includes a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like. The storage unit 120 stores programs for executing various control processes, various data, and the like.

  The timer unit 130 includes an oscillation circuit for generating a clock signal, a variable PLL (Phase Locked Loop), a counter circuit for counting the number of pulses of the clock signal, and the like. The timer 130 measures the time based on the counted number of pulses.

  The control unit 140 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and the like. The control unit 140 controls the overall operation of the distribution server 100 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 120. The control unit 140 executes various controls at a timing based on the number of pulses counted by the time measuring unit 130. Further, the control unit 140 counts the distribution time based on the time counted by the time measuring unit 130, and determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example, a scheduled distribution time) has elapsed.

  Hereinafter, a functional configuration of the control unit 140 will be described. The control unit 140 functions as a situation acquisition unit 141, a comment reception unit 142, a distribution unit 143, and a display mode control unit 144.

  The situation acquisition unit 141 acquires game play situations of a plurality of players via the communication unit 110. The game play status may be acquired by communication with the game server 200 or may be acquired by communication with the distributor terminal 300 or the viewer terminal 400.

  The situation acquisition unit 141 may acquire the game play situation based on the input received from the game master (operation side). For example, the distribution server 100 may be provided with an input unit that receives such an input, or may communicate with a management-side communication terminal that receives such an input via the communication unit 110. The situation acquisition unit 141 may acquire a game play situation corresponding to such a condition when a comment of a specific keyword is posted or when the number of such comments reaches a predetermined number or more. . For example, such an acquisition method can be realized by storing in the storage unit 120 a correspondence table between predetermined conditions and game play situations corresponding thereto in advance.

  The situation acquisition unit 141 may acquire the game play situation by receiving information indicating the game play situation from the game server 200, or may perform an image analysis or game analysis of a game play screen obtained via the distributor terminal 300. You may acquire a game play situation indirectly by voice analysis during play. When performing image analysis or sound analysis, pattern information such as an image pattern or sound pattern is stored in the storage unit 120, and the situation acquisition unit 141 compares the pattern information with an image or sound of an ongoing game play. The game play situation is identified by.

  The comment receiving unit 142 receives a comment posted by the viewer via the communication unit 110.

  The distribution unit 143 distributes a distribution screen in which the comment received by the comment reception unit 142 is superimposed on the game play screen of the online game. In addition, the distribution unit 143 distributes live content in which the game sound and the sound input by the distributor to the distributor terminal 300 are combined with the distribution screen. The distribution unit 143 may acquire each game play screen from the game server 200 or from the distributor terminal 300.

  The display mode control unit 144 controls the display mode of the distribution screen based on the game play status acquired by the status acquisition unit 141. Note that the display mode may be controlled in the same way on both the viewer terminal 400 and the distributor terminal 300, or only one of them, or the viewer terminal 400 and the distributor terminal 300. And may be controlled in different manners. Moreover, the structure which controls the viewing screen of the viewer terminal 400 which views the delivery screen by controlling the display mode with respect to the screen of the distributor terminal 300 may be sufficient. That is, the viewing screen of the viewer terminal 400 may depend on the distribution screen of the distributor terminal 300.

  For example, the control of the display mode of the comment for the purpose of obstructing the player and providing information may be executed only by the distributor terminal 300. Control of the display mode when a plurality of players have a predetermined relationship may be executed only by the viewer terminal 400, or may be different control between the distributor terminal 300 and the viewer terminal 400. The same control may be used.

  For example, when a plurality of players have a predetermined relationship, the display mode control unit 144 displays a distribution screen obtained by integrating a plurality of distribution screens distributed by each of the plurality of players. The predetermined relationship may be a preparatory battle attitude in a battle-type game, or may be a cooperation relationship in which a enemy character is defeated in cooperation with a cooperative game. Distribution screen integration is, for example, a division format or a wipe format, which will be described later. The integration method is not limited to this. For example, the integration method may be a bird's-eye view format integration like a bird's-eye view screen.

  The display mode control unit 144 may execute control for collectively displaying the comments received by the comment receiving unit 142 in one distribution screen in the distribution of a plurality of players. The display mode control unit 144 may execute control for displaying the comments received by the comment receiving unit 142 in different colors depending on the distribution of the player as the posting destination. In this case, comments can be color-coded for each distribution.

  When the ability difference between a plurality of players or the ability of one or more of the plurality of players satisfies a predetermined condition, the display mode control unit 144 accepts the comment accepting unit 142 on the screen of the strong player The display mode of the comment may be controlled to interfere with a strong player's game play.

  For example, the display mode control unit 144 performs control to display a barrage-like comment, thereby obstructing a strong player's game play. The display mode control unit 144 may execute control for delaying, erasing, or mosaic processing the display of the comment, thereby obstructing a strong player's game play.

  When a plurality of players are ready for battle, the display mode control unit 144 displays a distribution screen distributed by each of the other players on the weak player screen, for example, in a divided format or a wipe format. You may perform control which does not display the delivery screen which another player delivers on a player's screen. Thereby, a strong player's game play can be disturbed.

  The display mode control unit 144 performs control to transition the viewing screen displayed on the viewer terminal 400 to the first bird's-eye view screen overlooking the entire game play situation when a plurality of players have a predetermined relationship. May be. The display mode control unit 144 may or may not execute the same control for the game play screen of the distributor terminal 300. However, when the distributor terminal 300 plays a game while watching only the game play screen without looking at the distribution screen, the distributor terminal 300 may not execute such control.

  The first bird's-eye view screen is a screen that displays the situation of a plurality of players in a battle posture or cooperative relationship from an objective viewpoint, rather than from the viewpoint of any one of the plurality of players. For example, the first bird's-eye view screen may be a screen in which the entire play situation is viewed from the viewpoint of the virtual camera, or may be a screen in which the status states of a plurality of players can be confirmed.

  The display mode control unit 144 performs control to change the viewing screen of the viewer to the distribution screen of another player who is not over the game when the player who is watching the viewer is over the game. May be. For example, the display mode control unit 144 may execute control for transitioning the viewing screen of the viewer to the distribution screen of the winning player. In addition, the display mode control unit 144 may execute control for transitioning the viewer's viewing screen to the distribution screen of a player who is a friend of the player who has overrun the game. Note that such control may be performed on the distributor terminal 300 used by the player who has overrun the game. In this case, the display screen of the distributor terminal 300 transitions to a distribution screen of another player when the player is over the game.

  The display mode control unit 144 performs control for transitioning the viewer's viewing screen to a second bird's-eye view screen that overlooks the entire game play situation when the player who is watching the viewer is over the game. May be. The second bird's-eye view screen may be a game play screen viewed from the viewpoint of the virtual camera instead of the viewpoint of the player, or may be a screen that displays all of the situations of the plurality of players. Note that such control may be performed on the distributor terminal 300 used by the player who has overrun the game.

<Specific examples of distribution screen and game play screen>
Hereinafter, specific examples of the distribution screen and the game play screen will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of a distribution screen for each player. 3A shows the distribution screen of player A, and FIG. 3B shows the distribution screen of player B. This example shows a space in the game where the player A and the player B battle each other. These drawings show a state in which the character 10 operated by the player A and the character 20 operated by the player B face each other with the obstacle 40 interposed therebetween.

  Specifically, in FIG. 3A, a character 20 indicating a player B with a weapon such as a gun is displayed. An obstacle 40 is displayed in front of the character 20. In addition, since this figure is the viewpoint of the player A (the viewpoint of the character 10), the player's own character 10 is not displayed. The plurality of comments 30 are comments posted by the viewer for the distribution of the player A. These comments 30 flow from right to left on the distribution screen.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 3B, a character 10 indicating a player A having a weapon like a stick is displayed. An obstacle 40 is displayed in front of the character 10. In addition, since this figure is the viewpoint of the player B (the viewpoint of the character 20), the player's own character 20 is not displayed. The plurality of comments 50 are comments posted by the viewer for the distribution of the player B. These comments 50 flow from right to left on the distribution screen.

  Here, when the character 10 of the player A and the character 20 of the player B come closer and become ready for battle, the display mode control unit 144 controls the display mode of the distribution screen. The ready-for-war situation means, for example, a situation in which the players approach each other (when a predetermined distance or an opponent can be seen) or a battle between the players has started. Note that the battle posture may be determined based on control by the game master and a specific keyword included in the posted comment.

  By controlling the display mode, the distribution screen of player A and the distribution screen of player B are integrated. For example, both of the distribution screens are displayed in a state where the distribution screen of the player A and the distribution screen of the player B are combined with the transition to the distribution screen of the divided format shown in FIG. Thereby, the viewer and / or the distributor can grasp both viewpoints.

  In this case, the viewer terminal 400 used by the viewer who views the distribution of the player A displays the distribution screen of the player B together with the distribution screen of the player A. The viewer terminal 400 used by the viewer who views the distribution of the player B displays the distribution screen of the player A together with the distribution screen of the player B.

  In FIG. 4, the player A distribution screen is displayed on the left side, and the player B distribution screen is displayed on the right side. However, these distribution screens may be arranged in reverse, and the distribution screen of the player B may be displayed on the left side. For example, the display mode control unit 144 may perform control to display the distribution screen of the player that the viewer was watching on the left side and display the distribution screen of another player on the right side.

  The plurality of comments 30 and comments 50 flow from the right to the left of the integrated distribution screen. That is, the comment 30 posted on the distribution screen of the player A moves from the right end of the distribution screen of the player B toward the left end of the distribution screen of the player A. In addition, the comment 30 and the comment 50 are displayed so that they can be distinguished by color for each distribution.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, two distribution screens are displayed side by side in a split format on the left and right. However, the two distribution screens may be displayed side by side in a split format on the top and bottom. In addition to the game play screen, the distribution screen may display information such as weapons, physical strength, and status of each player. Thus, the viewer can easily collect information such as weapons and positions of both players and comment contents. Further, since the viewer can check the status of both players without manual operation, convenience for the user is improved. In addition, when the same control is performed on the distributor terminal 300 that is ready for battle, convenience for the distributor is improved.

  Further, the display mode control unit 144 may control the display mode so that the viewer can switch to one of the two distribution screens in a wipe format. In this case, by switching the screen, the viewer can view the game play screen of each player and information such as weapons, physical strength, and status. Note that the same control may be executed on the distributor terminal 300 that is ready for war.

  The display mode control unit 144 may integrate the two distribution screens in a wipe format instead of a split format. For example, FIG. 5 shows an example of a distribution screen in the wipe format. In this case, of the two distribution screens, the distribution screen (for example, the distribution screen of the player A) of the player that the viewer was viewing is displayed large, and the distribution screen (for example, the distribution screen of the player that the viewer has not viewed) (for example, Player B's distribution screen) is displayed in a small size superimposed on it. Note that the same control may be executed on the distributor terminal 300 that is ready for war. For example, the distribution screen of the player who uses the distributor terminal 300 may be displayed in a large size, and the distribution screen of the opponent player of the player may be superimposed and displayed on the small size.

  The display mode control unit 144 may execute control for transitioning the two distribution screens to the first bird's-eye view screen overlooking the entire game play situation (the battle situation between the player A and the player B in this example). For example, FIG. 6 shows an example of a distribution screen showing the first overhead view screen. In this example, the first bird's-eye view screen is a game play screen viewed from the viewpoint of the virtual camera. In this case, the viewer can confirm the positional relationship between the character 10 of the player A, the character 20 of the player B, and the obstacle 40. Note that the comments 30 and 50 are color-coded for each distribution so that the comments 30 and 50 posted on the two distribution screens can be distinguished. For example, the comment 30 is displayed in white and the comment 50 is displayed in yellow.

  By the way, since the character 20 of the player B has a weapon such as a gun, it can shoot the opponent from a distance. On the other hand, since the character 10 of the player A has a weapon like a stick, it cannot attack unless it approaches. In this case, player B is more advantageous than player A. This is considered as an ability difference that player B is stronger than player A.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the display mode control unit 144 narrows the field of view of the player B by displaying the barrage comment 60 by the viewer on the screen of the player B viewpoint. Thereby, it becomes possible to correct the player's ability difference and antagonize the battle. In this example, the predetermined condition is not a difference in play ability but a difference in weapons held by the player. However, the predetermined condition may be an ability difference based on the past winning record of the player, or may be preset by the participating player. The predetermined condition may be a difference in parameters such as the level of the character used or the player and the ability value. Further, for example, a further condition may be that a viewer's comment (active) satisfies a predetermined number or more. In this case, the viewer can influence the game play by posting a comment. Therefore, the user's interest is improved.

<Process flow>
Hereinafter, an example of a control process executed by the distribution server 100 will be described with reference to FIG. This process is executed after the game is started.

  First, the status acquisition unit 141 of the control unit 140 acquires the game play status of an online game in which a plurality of players can participate (step S101). The comment receiving unit 142 of the control unit 140 receives a comment posted by the viewer (step S102).

  The distribution unit 143 of the control unit 140 distributes a distribution screen in which the comment received by the comment receiving unit 142 is superimposed on the game play screen of the online game (step S103). At this time, sound information such as game sound and sound input by the distributor is also distributed. The display mode control unit 144 of the control unit 140 controls the display mode of the distribution screen distributed by the distribution unit 143 based on the game play status acquired by the status acquisition unit 141 (step S104).

<Description of effects>
In the distribution system 1 according to the present embodiment, the distribution server 100 distributes a distribution screen in which a comment received by the comment reception unit is superimposed on a game play screen of an online game in which a plurality of players can participate, and a display mode of the distribution screen To control.

  For example, the display mode of the distribution screen is controlled so that the viewers can check the status of both players when the players become ready for battle or cooperative relationship. In addition, even when the player who is watching the viewer is over the game, the distribution screen is controlled to automatically switch to the distribution of other players, and the viewer is still continuing the game. Can be watched. The display mode can be similarly controlled for the distributor. Therefore, user convenience is improved.

  In addition, when there is a large ability difference between the players or when an extremely strong player (a player having a skill higher than a predetermined value) participates, the distribution server 100 satisfies the predetermined condition so that the balance of the game is not lost. The display mode of the game play distribution screen viewed by the player is controlled to differentiate the game play environment.

  For example, the distribution server 100 obstructs a strong player's game play by displaying a barrage comment 60. For example, the distribution server 100 prevents a strong player from playing a game by delaying, deleting, or performing mosaic processing of displaying the comments 30 and 50 of viewers that may include useful information for the game. In this case, it is possible to adjust the balance of the game. Therefore, the user's interest is improved.

  This is the end of the description of the embodiment. However, the above embodiment is merely an example. Therefore, the specific configuration of the distribution system 1, the contents of processing, and the like are not limited to those described in the above embodiment.

That is, the order of control processing can be changed as appropriate.

  In the above-described embodiment, the predetermined relationship is a preparatory relationship or a cooperative relationship at the time of confrontation. However, the predetermined relationship may be an interaction state relationship between a plurality of players. For example, the relationship between the interaction states may be a communication state when the player communicates with another teammate on the game. The relationship between the interaction states may be a relationship when another player hits the trap when the player starts trapping. For the purpose of notifying the moment when the player is trapped, the screens may be integrated so that the state of the other player is displayed on the screen of the player who is trapped. As described above, the predetermined relationship may be an interaction state relationship including a battle posture relationship, a cooperative relationship, and other relationships at the time of confrontation.

  In the embodiment described above, the distribution server 100 executes control for displaying the distribution screen and control of the display mode of the distribution screen. However, these controls may be executed by the distributor terminal 300 or the viewer terminal 400. These controls may be realized by cooperation between the distribution server 100 and the distributor terminal 300 or the viewer terminal 400.

  The situation acquisition unit 141 and the display mode control unit 144 may be provided in the distributor terminal 300 or the viewer terminal 400 instead of the distribution server 100. The display mode of the distribution screen displayed by the distributor terminal 300 or the viewer terminal 400 may be controlled based on the game play situation acquired by the situation acquisition unit 141, and the execution subject of the control process can be changed as appropriate. .
