Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a site information distribution system for distributing site information including video and audio.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, portable information terminals are rapidly spreading. This portable information terminal can easily transmit and receive voice information and character information without selecting a place.

[0003]

However, such portable information terminals have not been used to transmit and receive live broadcasts of events such as concerts and sports. An object of the present invention is to provide an on-site information distribution system capable of easily distributing live broadcast information of an event such as a concert live or a sport using a portable information terminal.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, an information distribution system according to claim 1 is a site information for transmitting video and audio of a site to be broadcast live as site information. A transmitting unit, receiving the site information transmitted from the site information transmitting unit, generating distribution information including the site information, a server for distributing, and receiving the distribution information distributed from the server, And a portable information terminal that reproduces the video and audio of the site based on the distribution information. In this site information distribution system, the site information transmitting means includes a live broadcast target such as a concert or sport. This is a means for converting video and audio of a site where an event (hereinafter referred to as an event) is being performed into a signal and transmitting the signal to a server. Specific means for signalizing video are:
For example, a digital video camera or a digital still camera may be used, and as a specific means for converting sound into a signal, for example, a microphone may be used. The video and audio signalized in this way are transmitted as site information to the server by the site information transmitting means.

[0005] Next, the server receiving the site information generates and distributes the distribution information. The distribution information includes at least the site information, but may further include information other than the site information. To receive the distributed information by the portable information terminal, the portable information terminal is first connected to a communication line, and then connected to the server via the communication line.
The server may distribute the distribution information at the same time as the portable information terminal is connected, but may transmit the information for confirming to the user whether the distribution may be performed before distributing the distribution information. May be configured. In this case, since the distribution information is not delivered to the portable information terminal until the user desires the viewing, the useless distribution information such as a case where the user does not desire the viewing, a case where the viewing is interrupted immediately after the distribution information is delivered, or the like is obtained. Delivery is lost. In addition, when the portable information terminal connects to the server, the portable information terminal may be configured to be able to connect to the server by operating the portable information terminal in a predetermined procedure (for example, inputting a password or the like). . In this case, the distribution of the distribution information can be viewed only by members who have registered in advance.

[0006] The portable information terminal connected to the server receives the distribution information distributed by the server and reproduces the video and audio of the event. The video is reproduced by display means such as a liquid crystal display, and the sound is reproduced by sound reproduction means such as a speaker.

According to the site information distribution system configured as described above, it is possible to view the video and audio of the site where the event is being performed on the portable information terminal. Further, in this information distribution system, it is sufficient if there is one or more site information transmission means. In particular, when there are a plurality of site information transmission means, as in the site information distribution system according to claim 2,
The portable information terminal is capable of transmitting selection information input by a user to the server, a plurality of the site information transmitting units each transmitting the site information, and the server transmitting a plurality of the site information transmissions. Receiving the plurality of site information transmitted from the means;
A plurality of distribution information including the above may be generated, the selection information transmitted by the portable information terminal may be received, and one of the plurality of distribution information based on the selection information may be selected and distributed.

The server in this information distribution system generates a plurality of distribution information based on one or more site information among a plurality of site information transmitted by the plurality of site information transmitting means. The distribution information generated here is
It may be composed of only one site information out of the plurality of site information, or may be composed of a plurality of site information and reproduced simultaneously by the portable information terminal. Then, the server selects distribution information based on the selection information transmitted from the portable information terminal, and transmits the distribution information to the portable information terminal. The portable information terminal that has received the distribution information can reproduce one or more site information selected by the user from the plurality of site information included in the received distribution information. When two or more pieces of site information are reproduced, if two or more pieces of sound are played at the same time, it may be difficult to hear. It is also possible to reproduce the video and reproduce only the video without reproducing the audio for the remaining site information. The specific configuration of the distribution information selecting means based on the selection information is not particularly limited as long as one distribution information can be selected from a plurality of distribution information. For example,
A user inputs a predetermined number in a plurality of pieces of distribution information, and the portable information terminal transmits this number as selection information. Then, it is sufficient that the server receiving the selection information is configured to select the distribution information based on the selection information. Further, as a method of inputting the selection information by the user having the portable information terminal in this way, a button operation or a voice method can be considered.

[0009] Thereafter, the server distributes the distribution information every time the selection information transmitted from the portable information terminal is received. In the site information distribution system configured as described above, the user who operates the portable information terminal can freely select the plurality of site information transmitted by the plurality of site information distribution units. For this reason, the user can view the video and audio of the site where the user wants to view while switching freely, at the site where the event is being held.

[0010] When the portable information terminal has not transmitted the selection information to the server, such as when the portable information terminal is connected to the server, the server may generate distribution information that is not based on the selection information. As a method of generating the distribution information, site information to be distributed when the selection information is not transmitted is predetermined, and the distribution information may be generated based on the site information. . It is also conceivable to generate distribution information including information indicating a list of selectable site information. The information indicating this list may be information in which the installation locations of a plurality of site information transmitting units installed are represented by characters, or such that a still image or a moving image of a plurality of site information can be reproduced or displayed at a time. In this case, first, the site information that the user wants to view can be selected from the plurality of site information.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the site information distribution system, the server generates and distributes the distribution information including advertisement information stored in the server, and the portable information terminal transmits the distribution information from the server. It is characterized by receiving the distributed information distributed and displaying the advertisement information included in the distributed information.

In this site information distribution system, distribution information including advertisement information together with site information is generated.
This advertisement information may be selected and generated by the operator according to the event to be relayed, and even if the server is configured to randomly select from a plurality of advertisement information stored in the server Good. Further, one may be configured to select one from a plurality of pieces of advertisement information based on a display schedule indicating the date and time when each piece of advertisement information should be displayed. Further, the form of the advertisement information is not particularly limited, and may be a form that is always reproduced or displayed during reproduction of the distribution information by the portable information terminal, or may be performed at regular intervals during reproduction of the distribution information by the portable information terminal. It may be in a form that is reproduced or displayed on the screen.

[0013] The site information distribution system configured as described above can distribute not only video and audio of an event but also advertisement information. Therefore, the advertiser providing the advertisement information can expect an advertisement effect, and the side who distributes the information by the on-site information distribution system can also obtain the advertisement fee from the advertiser.

[0014] In order to further enhance the effect of the advertisement by the advertisement information, the site information distribution system according to claim 4 further comprises a classification information providing means for providing classification information to the site information, and Generating and distributing distribution information including the site information and the advertisement information corresponding to the classification information added to the site information. The classification information includes a plurality of different events and the contents of the events. Is predetermined information for classifying. The configuration of the classification information providing means is not particularly limited as long as the classification information can be provided to the site information. A specific example is the type of event (for example,
A code determined in advance according to a concert, a sports broadcast, or the like may be used as the classification information, and the code may be added to the site information. Further, the type of the event, the event venue, the holding time, and the like may be used as the classification information, and the information may be added to the site information. In addition, such a classification information provision means may be provided anywhere. For example, the class information providing means may be provided on the site information transmitting means side, and the site information may be transmitted by adding the class information to the site information when transmitting the site information. May be provided so as to add classification information to the transmitted site information.

There are several methods for selecting advertisement information corresponding to the site information to which the classification information is added from a plurality of pieces of advertisement information. For example, when the storage device that stores the advertisement information is classified in the same manner as the classification information, the advertisement information corresponding to each classification is stored in the classified storage location, and the distribution information is generated. Based on the classification information given to the site information, a method of selecting a storage location corresponding to the classification information and selecting the advertisement information stored in the selected storage location can be considered. Also,
A set of advertisement information and classification information is stored in a server, and when generating distribution information, a plurality of sets of advertisement information and classification information are sequentially read out, and if the classification information is the intended classification information, For example, there is a method of selecting the advertising information that has changed. As a specific example of such a case, when the video or audio of the concert is used as the site information, and the information of the performers of the concert is added to the site information as the classification information, the advertisement information corresponding to the classification information is selected. It is possible. The server generates and distributes distribution information based on the advertisement information and the site information thus selected.

In the site information distribution system configured as described above, since the distribution information is generated based on the advertisement information having the same classification information as the site information, the advertisement information can be distributed according to each event. Advertising effectiveness is improved. Also,
The information distribution system according to claim 5, wherein when the server receives information including predetermined response information transmitted from the portable information terminal, a predetermined point is set for each response information. It is characterized by being stored in the server.

The response information is information used by the server to give the user valuable points to the user when the user owning the portable information terminal performs a predetermined operation. As a specific example, a user responded to the information sent from the server and sent it.As a result of answering the questionnaire sent from the server, he did online shopping based on the order form sent from the server. Information indicating that the quiz question was answered at the event being reproduced.

The server that has received such response information stores points in the server. The points mentioned here are information referred to when giving a privilege to a user using the portable information terminal. Specific examples of the privilege include, for example, cash, various kinds of cash vouchers (commodity coupons, air tickets). Coupons, discount coupons), providing various services (free viewing rights for paid programs,
Free use rights for Internet paid sites, telephone call charge discount services), various prizes (prizes related to events being distributed), and the like. These benefits are
The points may be given to the user at the same time as the points are generated, or may be given to the user when the points are accumulated and reach a predetermined value. The storage location for storing the points only needs to be able to be stored in a storage location in the server assigned to each portable information terminal owned by each user.

In the site information distribution system configured as described above, since the user can obtain some kind of privilege by using the response request information, more users can be encouraged to view. By the way, the advertiser who provides the advertising information as described above pays a predetermined advertising fee, but since the number of viewers and the viewing time vary depending on the distribution time and the distribution content, the effect of the advertisement on the advertiser is Is confusing.

Therefore, the information distribution system according to claim 6, wherein the number of times the server distributes the distribution information;
It is characterized in that information relating to one or both of the numbers of the portable information terminals that have delivered the delivery information is stored in the server.

The information stored in the server in this site information distribution system may be a number itself such as the number of times the distribution information has been distributed or the number of the portable information terminals that have distributed the distribution information. The points may be predetermined for the number of times of distribution and the number of portable information terminals to which the distribution information has been distributed.

The site information distribution system configured as described above can confirm information on one or both of the number of times distribution information is distributed and the number of portable information terminals that distribute distribution information. If the advertising fee is calculated based on the information, the advertiser will pay the advertising fee according to the advertising effect, for example, if the advertising effect is not so much, there is no need to pay a large advertising fee .

[0023] In addition, the number of viewers is investigated every time the content of the event and the distribution information are distributed, and a high advertising effect such as an event with a large number of viewers or a time zone with a large number of viewers is expected. If possible, a fee structure according to the advertising effect, such as increasing the advertising fee, can be applied.

The video for distribution is a video to be reproduced on the display screen 44a of the portable information terminal 40, and is a video obtained by combining the above-mentioned video of the concert site with various advertisements and guidance accompanying various response requests. I have. The guidance accompanying the response request is, for example, a questionnaire input form or an online shopping order form.
Will be displayed. The advertisement and guidance image data to be combined with the video of the concert site is stored in advance in the server 30. The server 30 stores, in addition to the plurality of advertisement and guidance image data, the image data of each advertisement and guidance. Is displayed, and display schedule data indicating the date and time when is to be displayed is stored. Server 30
Selects one or more image data from a plurality of image data based on the display schedule data. The server 30 generates a distribution video in which the image data thus selected and the video of the concert site are combined.

The audio for distribution is audio to be reproduced by the speaker 44b of the portable information terminal 40, and is the audio itself at the above-mentioned concert site. The list image is a video to be reproduced on the display screen 44a of the portable information terminal 40, and is an image in which a plurality of camera installation locations are displayed in a list,
The video is a combination of the various advertisements and various guidances described above. The advertisement and guidance image data to be combined with the list image are selected in the same manner as the distribution video.

The server 30 counts the number of times the distribution video and the distribution audio are distributed and the number of the portable information terminals 40 that distribute the distribution video and the distribution audio every 10 minutes. Is stored in the hard disk 33 as a point. [Process Performed by Portable Information Terminal 40] Next, the procedure of the process performed by the portable information terminal 40 in the site information distribution system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The following processing is started when the line between the portable information terminal 40 and the server 30 is connected by the operation of the user who wants to view the concert site, and thereafter is continued until the line is disconnected.

When this process is started, first, the portable information terminal 40 performs an initialization process (s1). In this initialization process, a process of setting 0 to a variable n used as selection information is executed. After performing the initialization process, the portable information terminal 40 transmits the selection information (s2). The selection information transmitted here includes the variable n described above, and the server 30 distributes distribution data corresponding to the variable n.

Subsequently, the portable information terminal 40 receives the distribution video and the distribution audio (s3). Here, the above s1
Since the variable n is set to 0 in the processing of the above, a list image which is an image corresponding to 0 is transmitted from the server 30 as a video for distribution. Then, the portable information terminal 40 reproduces the received video and audio (s4). Here, since only the list image is received, only the list image is displayed and no sound is reproduced. In the list image, as shown in FIG. 3A, camera installation locations and numbers corresponding to the respective camera installation locations are displayed in characters. The number corresponding to the camera installation location is the same as the serial number assigned to the digital video camera 10.

Subsequently, the portable information terminal 40 checks whether an input operation has been performed by the operation button 46 (s5). When no input operation is performed (s5: N
O), the portable information terminal 40 checks whether the video being reproduced is a moving image (s6). Here, since the list image which is a still image is displayed, the process of s6 shifts to NO (s6: NO). Thereby, the portable information terminal 40 returns to the process of s5 while displaying the list image, and waits for an input.

Here, the user can select which video he / she wants to watch by inputting a number with the operation button 46 of the portable information terminal 40. Operation button 46
If the input operation has been performed (s5: YES), the portable information terminal 40 checks whether the input operation is an input of selection information (s7). Here, when the number corresponding to the camera installation location (the number displayed in the list image) is key-input, it is determined that the selection information has been input,
The keyed number is set in a variable n.

When the input operation is input of selection information (s
7: YES), the portable information terminal 40 returns to the process of s2, and executes the processes of s2 to s6 again. However, here, since the key input number is set in the variable n, the video and audio corresponding to the selected number are transmitted from the server 30 as the video for distribution and the audio for distribution. Then, the portable information terminal 40 reproduces the received video and audio. Thereafter, when the input operation is not performed in the process of s5 (s5: NO),
In the process of s6, it is determined that the video for distribution as a moving image is being reproduced (s6: YES), and the process returns to s3. After that, s until input operation is performed by the user.
The processing of 3 to s6 is repeated, whereby the video and audio of the concert are continuously reproduced.

By the way, the video for distribution including the video of the concert also includes the image data for advertisement and the image data for guidance, and the display screen 44a of the portable information terminal 40 displays the data shown in FIGS. As shown in ()), the concert video 200, the advertisement image 202, and the guidance image 204 are simultaneously displayed. A number is displayed on a part of the advertisement image 202 and the guide image 204, and by inputting this number, the user can view a detailed advertisement and questionnaire input form or online shopping order form as a still image. it can.

When the user inputs a key in the advertisement image 202 or the guide image 204 by key during reproduction of the concert video, the portable information terminal 40 detects the operation (s5:
YES), it is determined that the input is selection information (s7: YE)
S), the processes of s2 to s6 are executed again. Here, since the key input number is set in the variable n, the still image (detailed advertisement and questionnaire input form or online shopping order form) corresponding to the selected number is output from the server 30 as the distribution video. Will be sent. Then, the portable information terminal 40 displays the received still image. Thereafter, when no input operation is performed in the process of s5 (s5: N
O) In the process of s6, it is determined that the image is not a moving image (s6: NO), and the process returns to s5. Thereafter, the processes of s5 and s7 are repeated until the user performs an input operation, whereby the portable information terminal 40 is in a state of waiting for input while displaying a still image.

Here, the user can use the operation buttons 46 of the portable information terminal 40 to input the answer to the questionnaire and the contents of the order for online shopping. An input form such as a questionnaire input or an online shopping order is configured to be selected and determined from a plurality of items. By operating a send button (not shown) provided on the portable information terminal 40, the input result is changed. Sent to server 30.

When an input operation to these forms is performed, it is determined that the input operation is not input of selection information (s7: NO), and the portable information terminal 40 determines that the input operation is a questionnaire input or online shopping. It is checked whether the operation is a transmission operation of an input form such as an order (s8). If the operation is not an input form submission (s
8: NO), the process returns to s5, and the portable information terminal 40
Waits for input while displaying the input form. Thereby, the input to each item can be continued.

On the other hand, if the input operation is a transmission operation of the input form (s8: YES), the portable information terminal 40 transmits the input result of each form to the server 30 (s9). afterwards,
The portable information terminal 40 returns to the process of s1, and displays the list image. Specifically, when the user answers the questionnaire, the portable information terminal 40 displays the contents of the answer to the questionnaire (response information according to the present invention), and the product ordered when the user orders the product using the order form. Is transmitted to the server 30 (the response information in the present invention).

By the way, in this system, predetermined points are given to the user when answering the questionnaire. In addition, points are determined for each product posted on the order form for each product, and points corresponding to the ordered product are given to the user.

These points are managed by the server 30. The server 30 calculates points based on the result of the questionnaire and the product code, and the area for storing the points is stored in the hard disk 33 for each portable information terminal 40. Each time points are secured and given to the user, the points are added. When the points are accumulated and reach a predetermined value, a privilege is given to the user. As the privilege, for example, a plurality of related products of the concert performer are prepared, and different privileges are given to the user depending on the number of points.

According to the above procedure, the process by the portable information terminal 40 is performed. In the embodiment described above, the camera-side terminal 2 in the site information distribution system 1
0 corresponds to the site information transmitting means in the present invention. In addition, video and audio for distribution, list images,
The detailed advertisement, questionnaire input form, and online shopping order form correspond to the distribution information in the present invention.

The character information added to the site information by the camera terminal 20 corresponds to the classification information in the present invention. In addition, the keyboard 24 of the camera-side terminal 20 corresponds to the classification information adding unit in the present invention. The advertisement image data combined with the distribution image corresponds to the advertisement information in the present invention.

The guidance image data accompanying the response request combined with the distribution image corresponds to the response request information in the present invention. [Effect] According to the site information distribution system 1 configured as described above, the portable information terminal 40
You can watch the video and audio of the concert site.

Further, according to the site information distribution system 1, a user operating the portable information terminal 40 can freely select a plurality of videos and sounds captured by a plurality of digital video cameras 10. Therefore, the user can freely view and listen to the video and audio of the site he / she wants to view at the concert site.

According to the on-site information distribution system 1, advertisements can be distributed as well as videos and sounds of concert sites. Therefore, an advertiser providing an advertisement can expect an advertising effect, and a person who distributes information by the on-site information distribution system 1 can also obtain an advertisement fee from the advertiser.

Further, according to the on-site information distribution system 1, the user can obtain some kind of privilege by using the image data for guidance, so that more users can be encouraged to view. Further, according to the site information distribution system 1, the number of times the server 30 has distributed the distribution video and the distribution audio and the number of the portable information terminals 40 that have distributed the distribution video and the distribution audio can be confirmed as points. Therefore, if the advertising fee is calculated based on these points, the advertiser will pay the advertising fee according to the advertising effect. For example, if the advertising effect is not so large, many advertising fees You don't have to pay. In addition, we investigate the number of viewers at each event content and the time when distribution information is distributed. It is possible to apply a fee structure according to the advertising effect, such as increasing the advertising fee.

[Modifications] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described specific embodiments, and can be implemented in various other forms. For example, in the present embodiment, an example is described in which video and audio of a concert live are distributed. However, it is needless to say that video and audio can be distributed in an event other than a concert. Events other than the concert include, for example, news, sports, races, disasters, cityscapes, and the like.

In the above embodiment, the digital video camera 10 is exemplified by a plurality of digital video cameras 10, but the digital video cameras 10 are not limited to the digital video cameras 10a, 10b, 10c,. . . , The camera-side terminals 20a, 20b, 20c,. . . Is connected, but a plurality of digital video cameras 10 may be connected to one camera-side terminal 20. In this way, the configuration of the site information distribution system can be simplified, and the text information can be stored in one camera-side terminal 2.
0 can be added to video and audio at once. The character information added in this manner may be configured to be added by the server 30.

In this embodiment, the server 3
0 is generated by the camera-side terminal 20.
Although the video and character information transmitted from the above have been exemplified, the video for distribution is
May be constituted only by the video transmitted from the. Further, the example in which the distribution video is composed of one video has been described, but the distribution video may be composed of a plurality of videos. For example, the portable information terminal 40 may be configured to display a distribution video composed of four videos on the display screen 44a in four divisions. In this case, when two or more videos are reproduced simultaneously, the distribution audio corresponding to each distribution video may be difficult to hear if reproduced at the same time. Only one audio for distribution selected from audio may be reproduced.

In the above embodiment, the server 30 generates distribution information for each of a plurality of videos transmitted from the camera terminal 20. However, the distribution information generated by the server 30 is based on a plurality of videos. The portable information terminal 40 that has received the distribution information may be able to select and display one or more of the plurality of videos. In this case, the server 30 only needs to distribute the generated one piece of distribution information, so that the processing load on the server 30 can be reduced.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which points are accumulated in the server 30 and a privilege is given to the user when the point reaches a predetermined value. It may be given. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the advertisement image data combined with the video of the concert site is selected based on the display schedule data is exemplified. However, the method of selecting the advertisement image data is not particularly limited. For example, a method of selecting one from a plurality of advertisement image data based on the name of the performer of the concert included in the character information added to the site information may be used. In this case, an advertisement related to the performers of the concert can be displayed, so that a greater advertisement effect can be expected.

In the above embodiment, a questionnaire input form and an online shopping order form are exemplified as guidance with a response request. However, the guidance with a response may be of any type, for example, during a concert. An input form for answering the quiz question or the like given in the above may be used.

Further, in the above embodiment, the portable information terminal 40 connected to the server 30 first displays a list image of the concert site, but the video reproduced first is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, an image for selecting an event to be viewed from a plurality of deliverable events may be used. Further, a configuration may be employed in which predetermined distribution information among a plurality of distribution information is reproduced first. The configuration of the list image is not particularly limited as long as a plurality of camera installation locations can be confirmed. For example, the list image may be configured to display a list of moving images or still images captured by the plurality of digital video cameras 10.
With this configuration, the user can select a desired video from actual videos.

In the above embodiment, when the user selects a plurality of camera installation locations on the portable information terminal 40, the user inputs numbers using the operation buttons 46. However, the selection of a plurality of camera installation locations is described. The method is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in FIG.
