From the I frame in the MPEG data to the frame immediately before the next I frame, etc.). Needless to say, the partial content may be a part of the content in which the video content is manually divided.
Further, the processing unit 13, which will be described later, inspects two or more consecutive fields of the video content, and sets the video content as a partial content of the ward 2 or more by using the part of the field that has changed so as to satisfy a predetermined condition as a delimiter field. You can cut it into pieces. In such a case, for example, the processing unit 13 constitutes a vector from each field of the moving image content, calculates the distance between the two vectors of the two consecutive fields, and when the distance is equal to or larger than the threshold value or larger than the threshold value. The process of separating the video content is that the one field before the two consecutive fields is the last field of the previous partial content and the one field after the two consecutive fields is the first field of the subsequent partial content. conduct. Further, for example, the processing unit 13 image-recognizes (object recognition) each field of the moving image content, acquires one or more object names in each field, and preliminarily receives one or more object names of two consecutive fields. If it changes enough to meet certain conditions (it may be different, it may be completely different, etc.), the one field before the two consecutive fields may be the last of the previous partial contents. A field is used, and one field after two consecutive fields is used as the first field of the subsequent partial content, and the processing for separating the moving image content is performed. Since the object recognition process is a known technique, detailed description thereof will be omitted.
The field may be called a frame or a screen. Further, when one or more button information is associated with the partial content, the button output by the terminal device 2 differs depending on the output video content part or scene, and the viewer's emotions can be grasped more precisely. can.

The receiving unit 12 receives various types of information. The various information is, for example, an operation start request, a feedback information request instruction, and button pressing information described later.

The operation start request is a request for downloading video content. The operation start request has, for example, a moving image content identifier. The operation start request has, for example, a moving image content identifier and a terminal identifier.

The feedback information request instruction is an instruction for transmitting feedback information. The feedback information request instruction has information for identifying the feedback information. The information for specifying the feedback information is, for example, a video content identifier and timing information. For example, when there is only one video content in the video content storage unit 111, the information for specifying the feedback information is, for example, timing information. The timing information is, for example, a field identifier or a partial content identifier that identifies the partial content. The receiving unit 12 receives the feedback information request instruction from, for example, the terminal device 2 or a moving image content distribution device (not shown). When the feedback information request instruction is received from a video content distribution device (not shown), the feedback information request instruction has a terminal identifier that identifies the terminal device 2 to which the feedback information is transmitted.

The button pressing information receiving unit 121 receives the button pressing information from the terminal device 2. The button pressing information is information indicating that the button has been instructed in the terminal device 2.

The button pressing information includes a button identifier that identifies a button designated by the viewer while viewing the video content. The button pressing information has, for example, timing information. The timing information is usually information that identifies a screen in the moving image content that was output when the button was instructed. The button pressing information has, for example, a moving image content identifier of the output moving image content. The button pressing information may have, for example, the terminal identifier of the terminal device 2 that has transmitted the button pressing information. When the viewer gives an instruction to a button, the terminal device 2 usually outputs one or more buttons and moving image content.

The button pressing information receiving unit 121 may receive two or more button pressing information corresponding to one moving image content and one button from two or more other terminal devices at different timings. The button pressing information at different timings is, for example, information indicating instructions to the same button for different fields in the same moving image content.
The button pressing information receiving unit 121 reproduces the button pressing information including the button identifier that could not be received during the reproduction of the one partial content constituting the one moving image content, and the reproduction of another partial content different from the one partial content. It is preferable to be able to receive button pressing information including a button identifier that could not be received. In such a case, in the terminal device 2, different buttons are output during the output of one partial content in one moving image content and during the reproduction of the other partial content.

The processing unit 13 performs various processes. The various processes are, for example, processes performed by the button press information storage unit 131, the component unit 132, and the like. The various processes are, for example, to acquire the moving image content corresponding to the received operation start request from the moving image content storage unit 111 and prepare for the distribution of the moving image content. Further, the various processes are, for example, a process of accumulating the terminal identifier included in the received operation start request in the terminal identifier storage unit 114.

More specifically, the processing unit 13 acquires, for example, one or more button information paired with the moving image content identifier included in the received operation start request from the button information storage unit 112. Then, the processing unit 13 is a screen in which one or more buttons corresponding to the one or more button information are displayed by using the acquired one or more button information, and constitutes a screen on which the moving image content is output. Configure the screen information of. The screen information is realized by a description language such as HTML or XML, but may be realized by other means such as a program. That is, the structure of screen information and the means for realizing it do not matter. Further, since the processing in which the processing unit 13 constitutes the screen information is a known technique, detailed description thereof will be omitted. Further, the processing unit 13 may, for example, configure the screen information by using the reception of the operation start request as a trigger, or may configure the screen information in advance and store it in the storage unit 11. That is, it goes without saying that the timing of composing the screen information does not matter.

The button pressing information storage unit 131 stores the button pressing information received by the button pressing information receiving unit 121 in the button pressing information storage unit 113.

The button pressing information storage unit 131, for example, configures the button pressing information to be accumulated by using the button pressing information received by the button pressing information receiving unit 121, and stores the configured button pressing information in the button pressing information storage unit 113. You may. That is, the received button pressing information and the stored button pressing information may have different data structures, contents, and the like. That is, for example, when the received button pressing information has a button identifier and timing information (for example, a field identifier and a screen identifier), the button pressing information storage unit 131 acquires date and time information from, for example, a clock (not shown). Button pressing information having the date and time information, the button identifier, and the timing information may be configured and stored in the button pressing information storage unit 113. The received button pressing information and the stored button pressing information may have, for example, a moving image content identifier and a terminal identifier.

The component unit 132 configures feedback information by using the button press information received by the button press information receiving unit 121.

The component unit 132 configures feedback information by using, for example, one or more button press information of the button press information storage unit 113.

The feedback information synchronizes with the video content output at the timing when the button identified by the button identifier of the button press information is instructed, and informs the viewer that the button identified by the button identifier is instructed. Information for

The feedback information is, for example, information for highlighting the button identified by the button identifier of the button pressing information in each of the one or more other terminal devices 2. The mode of highlighting does not matter.

The feedback information may be information including a button image indicating the shape of the button output by the terminal device 2 as it is, or one or more attribute values (for example, the shape, etc.) of the button for forming the button image in the terminal device 2. Information having color, character string, etc.) may be used.

The feedback information has, for example, a button identifier. The feedback information includes, for example, a button identifier and information on the number of people who have designated the button. The feedback information has, for example, a button image that is an image of the button identified by the button identifier. The feedback information has, for example, position information that identifies the position of the designated button on the screen. The button image is an image different from the button image at the normal time, and is, for example, a highlighted button image. It can be said that the normal time is a time when the button image is not affected by the feedback information. Further, the normal time can be said to be, for example, a time when the button image is not highlighted.

The feedback information includes, for example, timing information. The feedback information is, for example, a button corresponding to one designated button in a period in the output of the same video content and in a period satisfying a predetermined condition (for example, a period of 10 fields, 1 second, etc.). Includes the number of press information.

The two or more feedback information continuously configured is, for example, two or more feedback information indicating a change in the emotion of the viewer who instructed the button from the time when the button was instructed. The change in emotion is, for example, that the emotion gradually weakens after the button is instructed.

The two or more continuously configured feedback information has, for example, a button identifier of the designated button and a degree of information that specifies the degree of overall emotion of the two or more viewers. In such a case, the two or more feedback information continuously configured indicates a change in the overall emotions of the two or more viewers by superimposing the emotions of the viewers of the two or more other terminal devices 2. Feedback information.

The two or more feedback pieces configured in succession are, for example, two or more highlighted button images.

For example, the component unit 132 configures feedback information that differs depending on the number of button press information corresponding to one button received by the button press information receiving unit 121 during a period satisfying a predetermined condition. For example, the component unit 132 configures the feedback information so that the button image has a higher degree of emphasis as the number of the button pressing information increases. For example, the configuration unit 132 constitutes feedback information having an attribute value of a darker and more conspicuous color as the number of the button press information increases. Further, for example, the configuration unit 132 configures feedback information having an attribute value of higher luminance as the number of the button pressing information increases. Further, for example, the configuration unit 132 configures feedback information having an attribute value of a larger size as the number of the button pressing information increases.

The component 132 is, for example, two or more feedback information indicating a change in the emotion of the viewer who instructed the button from the time when the button is instructed, and is a button identified by a button identifier in one or more other terminal devices. Consists of two or more feedback information for the display to gradually return from one highlight to the normal display.

The component 132 is, for example, two or more feedback information indicating a change in emotions by superimposing the emotions of the viewers of each of the two or more other terminal devices 2, and is identified by a button identifier in one or more other terminal devices. It constitutes two or more feedback information for the display of the button to gradually return from one highlighting to the normal display. In addition, the component unit 132 performs the processing of superimposing emotions, for example, as follows. That is, for example, the component unit 132 acquires the total emotional level by using the information of the emotional level of the viewer of each of the two or more other terminal devices 2 at the same time, the same field, or the same partial content. Then, feedback information having the overall emotional level is configured, or feedback information having a button image showing the overall emotional level is configured. Further, in the process of acquiring the total emotional level by using the information of the emotional level of the viewer of each of the two or more other terminal devices 2, for example, the addition of the information of the emotional level of 2 or more, 2 or more. The acquisition of the average value of the information of the emotional level of 2 or more, the acquisition of the median value of the information of the emotional level of 2 or more, the acquisition of the weighted average of the information of the emotional level of 2 or more, and the like, and the calculation is not limited.

For example, the component unit 132 acquires one or more button pressing information corresponding to the timing information for specifying the output timing of the moving image content in the terminal device 2 from the button pressing information storage unit 113, and has one or more button pressing information. It constitutes feedback information which is information for notifying the viewer that the button identified by the button identifier is instructed.

The terminal button output unit 262 outputs a button so that the button gradually returns from the one highlighting to the normal display so as to indicate the change in emotion of the viewer who instructed the button from the time when the button is instructed. It is preferable to do so. The terminal button output unit 262, for example, outputs two or more button images included in the received feedback information, and sequentially outputs two or more button images that gradually become unstandable buttons. Further, the terminal button output unit 262 sets, for example, one or more attribute values of the button color, the brightness of the button, the size of the button, and the font of the character string on the button so that the button gradually becomes inactive. While changing, two or more button images are configured, and each of the two or more button images is output in order.

Next, a second operation example of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the flowchart of FIG. 5, the same steps as the flowchart of FIG. 4 will be omitted.

In the flowchart of FIG. 5, the information processing device 1 does not distribute the moving image content to the terminal device 2. A moving image content distribution device (not shown) distributes the moving image content to the terminal device 2. Then, the information processing device 1 transmits the feedback information to the terminal device 2 so as to synchronize with the output of the moving image content in the terminal device 2. Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 5, synchronization of the moving image content and the feedback information is realized by the receiving unit 12 continuously receiving the feedback information request instruction.

(Step S501) The receiving unit 12 determines whether or not the feedback information request instruction has been received. If the feedback information request instruction is received, the process goes to step S410, and if the feedback information request instruction is not received, the process goes to step S416. The feedback information request instruction is received, for example, from the terminal device 2 or a moving image content distribution device (not shown).

In the flowchart of FIG. 6, the information processing device 1 does not distribute the moving image content to the terminal device 2. Further, here, a moving image content distribution device (not shown) distributes the moving image content to the terminal device 2. Then, the information processing device 1 transmits the feedback information to the terminal device 2 so as to synchronize with the output of the moving image content in the terminal device 2. Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 6, synchronization of the moving image content and the feedback information is realized by transmitting the feedback information to the terminal device 2 at the timing in the information processing device 1.

If it is the i-th timing, the process goes to step S409, and if it is not the i-th timing, the process returns to step S401. The processing unit 13 acquires time information of an internal clock (not shown), and uses the time information to determine whether or not it is the i-th timing for transmitting feedback information. For example, if the video content is 60 fields / second and there is a possibility of transmitting feedback information for each field, the information processing apparatus 1 loops from step S601 to step S415 every 1/60 seconds. To do so. Further, when the information processing apparatus 1 may transmit feedback information every second, the information processing apparatus 1 makes the loop of steps S601 to S415 rotate every second.

In the flowchart of FIG. 6, the information processing apparatus 1 does not have to configure the screen information and perform the transmission process. The screen information may be configured and the transmission process may be performed by another device. Further, the terminal device 2 may hold screen information in advance.

In the flowchart of FIG. 6, the process is terminated by turning off the power or interrupting the end of the process.

Next, a first example of the feedback information configuration process in step S423 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 7.

(Step S701) The component unit 132 performs an initialization process. Here, the initialization process is to assign 0 to the counter i and 0 to the variable "score". The variable "score" is an example of the degree information described above.

(Step S702) The component unit 132 determines whether or not the number of pressers (viewers who have input instructions for the target button) for the i-th previous timing is included in the score. If it enters, it goes to step S703, and if it does not enter, it goes to step S708. It is assumed that it is determined in advance whether or not to consider the instruction to the button at the timing before, and such information (usually a natural number) is stored in the storage unit 11. Further, the i-th previous timing is the i-th previous processing unit of the processing unit of interest (the j-th processing unit in step S420).

The attribute value of 1 or more is usually an attribute value included in the button information such that the larger the value of the variable "score" is, the more the button is highlighted. For example, the component unit 132 acquires a color attribute value such that the larger the value of the variable “score”, the more conspicuous the color of the button. For example, the component unit 132 acquires an attribute value of a color such that the larger the value of the variable “score”, the larger the size of the button.

For example, the component unit 132 acquires one or more attribute values from the attribute value management table that manages one or more attribute values corresponding to the value of the variable “score”. Further, for example, the component unit 132 substitutes the value of the variable "score" into the arithmetic expression using the value of the variable "score" as a parameter, and acquires the attribute value. Further, it is assumed that the attribute value management table and the calculation formula are stored in the storage unit 11.

The component unit 132 constitutes, for example, feedback information including one or more attribute values acquired in step S708. Further, the component unit 132 generates a button image by using, for example, one or more attribute values acquired in step S708, and constitutes feedback information including the button image.

In the flowchart of FIG. 7, the score may be acquired according to whether or not the button pressing information exists, not the number of button pressing information.

(Step S803) The component unit 132 acquires one or more attribute values of the buttons corresponding to the number of button pressing information acquired in step S802. The attribute value of 1 or more is usually an attribute value included in the button information so that the button is highlighted as the number of button press information increases. For example, the component unit 132 acquires a color attribute value that makes the button more conspicuous as the number of button press information increases. For example, the component unit 132 acquires a color attribute value such that the larger the number of button press information, the larger the size of the button.

For example, the component unit 132 acquires one or more attribute values from the attribute value management table that manages one or more attribute values corresponding to the number of button press information or the range of the number of button press information. Further, for example, the component unit 132 substitutes the number of button press information into an arithmetic expression whose parameter is the number of button press information, and acquires an attribute value.

The component unit 132 constitutes, for example, feedback information including one or more attribute values acquired in step S803. Further, the component unit 132 generates a button image by using, for example, one or more attribute values acquired in step S803, and constitutes feedback information including the button image.

In the flowchart of FIG. 8, one or more attribute values may be acquired depending on whether or not the button pressing information exists, not the number of button pressing information. Further, the component unit 132 usually acquires an attribute value so that the display of the button becomes more conspicuous as the number of button pressing information increases or the button pressing information exists.

Next, an operation example of the terminal device will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(Step S901) The terminal reception unit 22 determines whether or not the operation start request has been accepted. If the operation start request is accepted, the process goes to step S902, and if the operation start request is not accepted, the process returns to step S901.

(Step S902) The terminal processing unit 23 configures an operation start request to be transmitted by using the operation start request received in step S901. The terminal processing unit 23 reads, for example, the terminal identifier of the terminal storage unit 21, and constitutes an operation start instruction having the terminal identifier and the moving image content identifier included in the operation start request received in step S901.

(Step S903) The terminal transmission unit 24 transmits the operation start request configured in step S902. The terminal transmission unit 24 transmits an operation start request to, for example, an information processing device, a moving image content distribution device (not shown), or an information processing device and a moving image content distribution device (not shown).

(Step S904) The terminal receiving unit 25 determines whether or not the screen information has been received. If the screen information is received, the process goes to step S905, and if the screen information is not received, the process returns to step S904. The screen information usually includes one or more button information.

(Step S905) The terminal processing unit 23 configures a screen by using the screen information received in step S904. Further, the terminal processing unit 23 stores the screen information received in step S904 in the terminal button information storage unit 211.

(Step S906) The terminal output unit 26 outputs the screen configured in step S905.

(Step S907) The terminal receiving unit 25 determines whether or not the partial content has been received. If the partial content is received, the process goes to step S908, and if the partial content is not received, the process goes to step S915.

(Step S908) The terminal moving image content output unit 261 outputs the partial content received in step S907 to a predetermined area in the screen output in step S906.

(Step S909) The terminal feedback information receiving unit 251 determines whether or not the feedback information has been received. If the feedback information is received, the process goes to step S910, and if the feedback information is not received, the process goes to step S912.

(Step S910) The terminal processing unit 23 acquires button information from the received feedback information. Then, the terminal processing unit 23 configures a button to be output by using the button information. The configured button is usually a button image.

(Step S911) The terminal button output unit 262 outputs the button configured in step S909.

(Step S912) The terminal reception unit 22 determines whether or not a button instruction, which is an instruction for any of the one or more output buttons, has been accepted. If the button instruction is accepted, the process proceeds to step S913, and if the button instruction is not accepted, the process returns to step S907.

(Step S913) The terminal button pressing information configuration unit 231 acquires the button identifier of the button corresponding to the button instruction received in step S911, and configures the button pressing information having the button identifier.

The terminal button pressing information configuration unit 231 acquires, for example, the button identifier of the button corresponding to the button instruction received in step S911, and the timing information (for example, the field identifier) that specifies the timing in the video content being output. , Screen identifier, etc.), and configures button press information having the button identifier and the timing information. For example, the terminal button pressing information configuration unit 231 may acquire the terminal identifier of the terminal storage unit 21 and configure the button pressing information having the terminal identifier as well.

(Step S914) The terminal button pressing information transmission unit 241 transmits the button pressing information configured in step S913 to the information processing apparatus 1. Return to step S907.

(Step S915) The terminal processing unit 23 determines whether or not the reception of the received moving image content is completed. If the reception of the moving image content is completed, the process returns to step S901, and if the reception of the moving image content is not completed, the process returns to step S907. The terminal processing unit 23 determines that the reception of the moving image content has been completed, for example, when the received partial content includes the end signal.

In the flowchart of FIG. 9, the process is terminated by turning off the power or interrupting the end of the process.

Hereinafter, the specific operation of the information system A in the present embodiment will be described. The conceptual diagram of the information system A is FIG.

Now, it is assumed that the video content management table shown in FIG. 10 is stored in the video content storage unit 111. The video content management table is a table for managing video content to be distributed. The video content management table has one or more records having an "ID", a "video content identifier", a "content name", and a "video content". The "ID" is information that identifies a record. The "content name" is the title of the moving image output by the terminal device 2 during the reproduction of the moving image content. "Video content" is the video content itself. The video content is usually stream data. The moving image content is, for example, MPEG format data, but it goes without saying that the data structure and the like do not matter.

Further, the button information management table shown in FIG. 11 is stored in the button information storage unit 112. The button information management table is a table for managing button information. The button information management table has one or more records having "ID", "video content identifier", "partial content identifier", and "button information". The "video content identifier" is information that identifies the video content corresponding to the button information of the button output by the terminal device 2. The "video content identifier" and "partial content identifier" are information for identifying the video content and the partial content corresponding to the button information of the button output by the terminal device 2. The "button information" has a "button identifier", a "character string", a "shape", a "color", and the like. The "ID" is information that identifies a record. "Character string" is a character string arranged on the button, "shape" is the shape of the button, and "color" is the normal color of the button. When the value of the "partial content identifier" is NULL "-", it indicates that the button information corresponds only to the "video content identifier".

In the record of "ID = 1" in FIG. 11, the button information corresponds only to the moving image content identifier. That is, the buttons output during playback of the moving image content of the moving image content identifier "C1" are the same. Further, in the record of "ID = 2", the button information corresponds to the moving image content identifier and the partial content identifier. That is, the button output during playback of the moving image content of the moving image content identifier "C2" changes according to the portion of the moving image content. In the record of "ID = 2", the partial content identifiers "P21" and "P22" may be, for example, a field identifier that specifies one field, or an identifier that specifies a plurality of fields. Further, when the partial content identifiers "P21" and "P22" are field identifiers and are field identifiers of non-consecutive fields, the button identifier "" is being output during the output of the fields immediately preceding the field identifiers "P21" to "P22". The two buttons identified by "B21" and "B22" are output by the terminal device 2, and during the output after the field identified by the field identifier "P22", they are identified by the button identifiers "B23", "B24" and "B25". Indicates that the three buttons are output by the terminal device 2.

Further, the button pressing information storage unit 113 stores a button pressing information management table having the structure shown in FIG. 12. The button pressing information management table is a table for managing button pressing information. The button press information management table has one or more records having "ID", "video content identifier", "partial content identifier", "timing information", "button identifier", "terminal identifier", and "date and time information". The "ID" is information that identifies a record. The "video content identifier" is information for identifying the video content output by the terminal device 2 when the button is instructed. The "partial content identifier" is information for identifying the partial content output by the terminal device 2 when the button is instructed. The "timing information" is information for specifying a time point in the moving image content that was output when the button was instructed, and here, it is a screen identifier (here, the same meaning as a field identifier). The "button identifier" is an identifier of a button instructed by the viewer. The "terminal identifier" is an identifier of the terminal device 2 that has transmitted the button pressing information. The "date and time information" is information that specifies the date and time when the information processing device 1 receives the button press information, or information that specifies the date and time when the button press information is transmitted from the terminal device 2.

Then, in FIG. 12, the viewer of the terminal device 2 identified by the terminal identifiers "T01", "T02", etc., presses the button while browsing the video content identified by the video content identifiers "C1", "C2", etc. It is assumed that a large amount of button pressing information is accumulated in the button pressing information management table based on the button pressing information transmitted from the terminal device 2 by instructing. Since the accumulation process has been described above, detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

Further, it is assumed that the storage unit 11 stores the template of the screen information shown in FIG. The screen information template is the information that is the source of the screen information. The screen information is a screen for outputting moving image content, and is information constituting a screen in which one or more selectable buttons are displayed. In FIG. 13, 1301 is an area where moving image content is output. 1302 is an area where one or more buttons are output.

In such a situation, it is assumed that the viewer A specifies the moving image content identified by the moving image content identifier "C1" to the terminal device 2 and inputs the operation start request. Then, the terminal reception unit 22 of the terminal device 2 receives the operation start request having the moving image content identifier “C1”. Then, the terminal processing unit 23 reads the terminal identifier "T05" of the terminal storage unit 21 and issues an operation start instruction having the terminal identifier "T05" and the video content identifier "C1" of the received operation start request. Configure. Next, the terminal transmission unit 24 transmits the configured operation start request to the information processing device 1.

Next, the receiving unit 12 of the information processing device 1 receives an operation start request having the moving image content identifier "C1" and the terminal identifier "T05" from the terminal device 2.

Next, the processing unit 13 acquires one or more button information paired with the moving image content identifier “C1” included in the received operation start request from the button information management table (FIG. 11). The one or more button information is six button information identified by the button identifiers "B11", "B12", "B13", "B14", "B15", and "B16". Next, the processing unit 13 configures six button images, which are images of the buttons, using the six button information. Next, the processing unit 13 attaches the six button images to the image information template 1302 of FIG. 13 to form screen information to be transmitted. Next, the button information transmission unit 142 transmits the configured screen information to the terminal device 2 identified by the terminal identifier "T05".

Next, the terminal receiving unit 25 of the terminal device 2 receives the screen information. Next, the terminal processing unit 23 configures a screen using the received screen information. Further, the terminal processing unit 23 stores the received screen information in the terminal button information storage unit 211. Next, the terminal output unit 26 outputs the configured screen. An example of such a screen is shown in FIG. In FIG. 14, six buttons (1401) are displayed in the area of 1302 in FIG.

Next, the processing unit 13 acquires the first partial content of the video content identified by the video content identifier included in the received operation start request and the content name "online company briefing session" from the video content storage unit 111. .. Then, the moving image distribution unit 141 transmits the acquired partial content to the terminal device 2.

Next, the terminal receiving unit 25 of the terminal device 2 receives the first partial content. Then, the terminal moving image content output unit 261 outputs the received partial content in a predetermined area 1301 in the screen. An example of such an output is shown in FIG. In FIG. 15, the moving image content 1501 is output together with the content name “online company briefing session” (1502).

By repeating the above processing, the partial content of the moving image content identifier "C1" is sequentially transmitted from the information processing device 1 to the terminal device 2, and the terminal device 2 sequentially receives and outputs the partial content.

The following three specific examples will be described with respect to the subsequent processing. The difference between each of the three specific examples is that the display mode of the button on the terminal device 2 is different due to the difference in the feedback information.

In the specific example 1, one button pressing information corresponds to one feedback information, and the button is emphasized in the terminal device 2 of another viewer at the timing when the button instructed by any one or more viewers is generally instructed. If it is displayed. Then, in the specific example 1, the button instructed by one or more viewers is highlighted.

The second specific example is a case where the highlighting of the button on the terminal device 2 changes with time. That is, for example, there is a case where the feedback information includes two or more button images that change with time, and the two or more button images are sequentially output in the terminal device 2.

Specific example 3 is a case where the emotions of two or more viewers are superimposed and the button display changes with time. That is, for example, the feedback information includes two or more time-varying button images configured based on instructions to the buttons from a plurality of viewers, and the two or more button images are sequentially expressed in the terminal device 2. , When it is output.

(Specific example 1)
After the processing described above, when the information processing apparatus 1 transmits the field identified by the video content identifier "C1" and the timing information "0128" to the terminal apparatus 2, the processing unit 13 is, for example, the 128th. The feedback information (here, the button identifier “B11”) corresponding to the partial content (here, the field) of is acquired from the button pressing information management table of FIG. Here, it is assumed that the feedback information is a part of the button pressing information and has a "button identifier". Further, here, the processing unit 13 has acquired the button identifier “B11” that is paired with the timing information “0128”.

Next, the feedback information transmission unit 143 transmits the acquired feedback information "B11" to the terminal device 2.

Next, the terminal feedback information receiving unit 251 of the terminal device 2 receives the feedback information "B11". Then, the terminal processing unit 23 constitutes the button information highlighted from the received feedback information “B11”. That is, the terminal processing unit 23 constitutes 1601 of FIG. Then, the terminal button output unit 262 outputs the configured button 1601 in the area where the button identifier "B11" is arranged. From the above, the color of the "Hey!" Button of 1503 on the screen of FIG. 15 changes from gray to red. That is, the "Hey!" Button of 1503 on the screen of FIG. 15 changes from 1602 of FIG. 16 to the highlighted button of 1601.

In the specific example 1, the button image in which the terminal device 2 is highlighted is configured based on the feedback information "B11" which is a part of the button pressing information, but the information processing device 1 configures the button image. Then, the feedback information including the button image may be transmitted to the terminal device 2, and the terminal device 2 may receive and output the button image.

Further, it is preferable that the terminal device 2 continuously outputs the button image once changed for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds, 60 frames, etc.).

As described above, in the specific example 1, when the viewer has an emotion toward the video content (for example, sympathy for the video content), the fact that the emotion has occurred can be expressed on the screen of the terminal device 2 of another viewer. .. As a result, it is possible to prompt other viewers to instruct the button.

(Specific example 2)
Similar to the first embodiment, after the processing described above, when the information processing apparatus 1 transmits the field identified by the video content identifier “C1” and the timing information “0128” to the terminal apparatus 2, the processing unit It is assumed that 13 has acquired the button identifier "B11" paired with the timing information "0128", for example.

Next, the component unit 132 acquires the attribute values (character string "he!", Rectangular shape, color "gray", etc.) of the button paired with the button pressing information "B11" from the table of FIG. The button image 1701 at the normal time of FIG. 17 is configured by using the attribute value of the button. Next, the component unit 132 acquires the color information (Co1) of the color that most emphasizes the button image 1701 at the normal time from the storage unit 11. Then, the component unit 132 configures the most emphasized button image by using the acquired color information (Co1), the character string “Hey!”, The attribute values such as the rectangular shape, and the like. Such a button image is 1702 in FIG. Next, the component unit 132 acquires the color information (Co2) of the color, which is slightly less emphasized than the button image of 1702, from the storage unit 11. Then, the component unit 132 configures the button image by using the acquired color information (Co2), the character string “Hey!”, The attribute values such as the rectangular shape, and the like. Such a button is 1703 in FIG. Next, the color information (Co3) of the color whose degree of emphasis is slightly less than that of the button image of 1703 is acquired from the storage unit 11. Then, the component unit 132 configures the button image by using the acquired color information (Co3), the character string “Hey!”, The attribute values such as the rectangular shape, and the like. Such a button is 1704 in FIG. Further, the component unit 132 acquires the button image 1705 at the normal time. Then, the component unit 132 configures the feedback information so that the button images 1702, 1703, 1704, and 1705 are output in order. The feedback information includes, for example, button images 1702, 1703, 1704, 1705, time information for displaying each image (for example, 5 seconds, etc.), and a button identifier "B11".

Next, the feedback information transmission unit 143 transmits the acquired feedback information to the terminal device 2.

Next, the terminal button output unit 262 switches and outputs the button images 1702, 1703, 1704, and 1705 at the position of the button every time indicated by the received time information (for example, 5 seconds or the like). Finally, the gray button of the button image 1705 is displayed.

In the second embodiment, the feedback information including the button image is configured by the information processing apparatus 1 based on the button pressing information. However, when the feedback information includes the button identifier "B11" and does not include the button image, the terminal device 2 generates the button images 1702, 1703, 1704, 1705 based on the button identifier "B11" and outputs them in sequence. You may.

Further, in the second embodiment, the time when each of the button images 1702, 1703, 1704, and 1705 is output is determined by using the received time information. However, even if the time information is not received, the terminal device 2 may output each of the button images 1702, 1703, 1704, and 1705 for a predetermined time. That is, the terminal button output unit 262 may output the button images 1702, 1703, 1704, and 1705 that change stepwise in order, regardless of the output time, output method, or the like. Further, the stepwise change is, for example, a change in which the degree of emphasis is weakened.

As described above, in the specific example 2, when an emotion (for example, sympathy for the video content) from the viewer is generated, the emotion is generated and the emotion is changed on the screen of the terminal device 2 of another viewer. Can be expressed in. As a result, it is possible to appropriately prompt other viewers to instruct the button.

(Embodiment 2)
In the present embodiment, the difference from the first embodiment is that it is premised that two or more viewers are simultaneously viewing the same moving image content. That is, in the present embodiment, when one viewer inputs a button instruction to the terminal device 2, the input is reflected in the terminal device 2 of another viewer.

The conceptual diagram of the information system B in the present embodiment is the same as that of FIG. 1 except for the reference numerals. The information system B includes an information processing device 3 and two or more terminal devices 2. Further, the information processing device 3 and each of the two or more terminal devices 2 can communicate with each other via a network such as the Internet or a dedicated line. Further, the information processing device 3 is a so-called server device here. The information processing device 1 is, for example, a cloud server or an ASP server, but its type and installation location do not matter.

FIG. 20 is a block diagram of the information processing apparatus 3 constituting the information system B in the present embodiment. The information processing device 3 includes a storage unit 11, a reception unit 12, a processing unit 33, and a transmission unit 34.

The processing unit 33 includes a button pressing information storage unit 131 and a configuration unit 332. The transmission unit 34 includes a video distribution unit 141, a button information transmission unit 142, and a feedback information transmission unit 343.

The processing unit 33 constituting the information processing device 3 performs various processes. The various processes are, for example, processes performed by the button press information storage unit 131, the component unit 332, and the like. The various processes are, for example, to acquire the moving image content corresponding to the received operation start request from the moving image content storage unit 111 and prepare for the distribution of the moving image content. Further, the various processes are, for example, a process of accumulating the terminal identifier included in the received operation start request in the terminal identifier storage unit 114.

The processing unit 33, for example, configures screen information for configuring a screen output by the terminal device 2. More specifically, the processing unit 33 acquires, for example, one or more button information paired with the moving image content identifier included in the received operation start request from the button information storage unit 112. Then, the processing unit 33 is a screen in which one or more buttons corresponding to the one or more button information are displayed by using the acquired one or more button information, and constitutes a screen on which the moving image content is output. Configure the screen information of. That is, the structure of screen information and the means for realizing it do not matter. Further, since the processing in which the processing unit 33 constitutes the screen information is a known technique, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The component unit 332 configures the feedback information by using the button press information received by the button press information receiving unit 121. The configuration unit 332 configures feedback information, for example, in response to the button press information receiving unit 121 receiving the button press information.

The component unit 332 may perform the same processing as the above-mentioned component unit 132 except for the difference in the timing of configuring the feedback information.

Using the button pressing information received by the button pressing information receiving unit 121, the component unit 332 synchronizes with the moving image content output at the timing when the button identified by the button identifier of the button pressing information is instructed. It constitutes feedback information which is information for notifying the viewer that the button identified by the button identifier is instructed.

For example, the component unit 332 configures feedback information that differs depending on the number of button press information corresponding to one button received by the button press information receiving unit 121 during a period satisfying a predetermined condition. For example, the component unit 332 configures the feedback information so that the button image has a higher degree of emphasis as the number of the button pressing information increases. For example, the configuration unit 332 configures feedback information having an attribute value of a darker and more conspicuous color as the number of the button press information increases. Further, for example, the configuration unit 332 configures feedback information having an attribute value of higher luminance as the number of the button press information increases. Further, for example, the configuration unit 332 configures feedback information having an attribute value of a larger size as the number of button press information increases.

The component 332 is, for example, two or more feedback information indicating a change in the emotion of the viewer who presses the button from the time when the button is pressed, and is a button identified by a button identifier in one or more other terminal devices. Consists of two or more feedback information for the display to gradually return from one highlight to the normal display.

It constitutes two or more feedback information for the display of the button to gradually return from one highlighting to the normal display.

The transmission unit 34 transmits various types of information. Various types of information are, for example, video content, button information, and feedback information. The information processing device 3 does not have to transmit the moving image content and the button information. That is, the video content and the button information may be transmitted by a device different from the information processing device 3. Further, the button information may not be transmitted and may be held in advance by the terminal device 2. In such a case, the moving image distribution unit 141 and the button information transmission unit 142 are unnecessary.

The feedback information transmission unit 343 has at least one or more other terminal devices in which one or more buttons and video content are output to one or more other terminal devices that are terminal devices 2 other than the terminal device that transmitted the button press information. Send feedback information to.

The feedback information transmission unit 343 sequentially transmits each of the two or more feedback information configured by the configuration unit 332 to one or more other terminal devices.

The processing unit 33 and the component unit 332 can usually be realized from an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the processing unit 33 and the like is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded in a recording medium such as ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

To judge. If the i-th partial content exists, the process goes to step S2107, and if the i-th partial content does not exist, the process returns to step S2101. The partial content is, for example, one field and audio information corresponding to the field. Further, the partial content is, for example, a plurality of consecutive fields for a predetermined period and audio information corresponding to the plurality of fields. The amount of partial content does not matter.

(Step S2107) The processing unit 33 acquires the i-th partial content from the moving image content storage unit 111.

(Step S2108) The moving image distribution unit 141 transmits the i-th partial content acquired in step S2107 to each of two or more terminal devices 2. The terminal identifier of each of the two or more terminal devices 2 may be stored in the terminal identifier storage unit 114. Then, the moving image distribution unit 141 may transmit the i-th partial content to each of the two or more terminal devices 2 by using the two or more terminal identifiers of the terminal identifier storage unit 114.

(Step S2109) The processing unit 13 determines whether or not button pressing information has been received from one or more terminal devices 2. If the button pressing information is received, the process goes to step S2110, and if the button pressing information is not received, the process returns to step S2106.

(Step S2110) The component unit 332 configures the feedback information by using the button pressing information received from one or more terminal devices 2. The process of forming the feedback information can be realized by the same process as the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 and 8.
