Description

  The present invention relates to a system for viewing moving images such as TV broadcast programs and video / DVD software, and more particularly to a system for viewing such moving images together with character information obtained via the Internet.

  In recent years, so-called video sharing sites represented by Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/) have been rapidly increasing on the Internet, attracting a great deal of access. Among them, a site that allows users to freely comment on uploaded videos has become popular, as well as simply uploading videos and making them available for streaming at any time and sharing them with other users. Yes. Specifically, it is “Nico Nico Douga (http://www.nicovideo.jp/)” or “Subtitles.in (http://jimaku.in/)”. These are hereinafter referred to as comment-added video sharing sites.

  In these sites, comments are added to the existing video content, and these comments are displayed in accordance with the playback of the video content, thereby creating a new workability that the author did not intend. In addition, a large number of users see the same content and enjoy it by adding comments to each other, thereby providing a new community on the Internet.

  Incidentally, for example, the following technologies are disclosed for moving image content. Patent Document 1 discloses a method of forming a community where viewers can exchange opinions on a TV program being broadcast. Patent Document 2 discloses a method for controlling the reproduction of a recorded program by acquiring information about the instantaneous maximum audience rating of a broadcast program via a network. Patent Document 3 discloses a content audition system in which word-of-mouth information is exchanged using a tester such as a CD or DVD and the contents can be broadcast.

[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a network of a moving image viewing system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, a specific television broadcast program or a recorded program is defined as moving image content. The moving image viewing system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a terminal 10 owned by a user, a character content server 100 connected to the terminal 10 via a network 160, and a television station 150 that transmits a television broadcast. There may be a plurality of terminals 10.

  The terminal 10 is a mobile phone terminal or a personal computer having a function of receiving and recording a television broadcast transmitted from the television station 150. The network 160 is a public wireless communication network or the Internet. However, since the network 160 does not exchange the moving image content itself, the communication speed need not be high.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the terminal 10 disclosed in FIG. The terminal 10 includes a main control device 11, a storage device 12, a display 13, an input device 14, a communication module 15, and a TV tuner 16. The main control device 11 includes a CPU, a RAM, an OS, and the like, and a moving image playback unit 21, a character content acquisition unit 22, an elapsed time calculation unit 23, a comment display unit 24, a comment transmission unit 25, which are configured as a program thereon. Functions such as the TV broadcast recording unit 26 can be executed.

  The storage device 12 stores a recorded broadcast program 31. The moving image reproduction unit 21 calls and reproduces the broadcast program 31 read from the storage device 12 or the broadcast program 31 received by the TV tuner 16 and displays it on the display 13. When the video playback unit 21 starts playback of the broadcast program 31, the text content acquisition unit 22 acquires the text content 120 corresponding to the title of the broadcast program 31 by referring to the text content server 100 via the communication module 15. To do.

  Further, the elapsed time calculation unit 23 calculates the elapsed time since the reproduction of the broadcast program 31 is started. The TV broadcast recording unit 26 records the broadcast program 31 received by the TV tuner 16 and stores it in the storage device 12. The input device 14, the comment display unit 24, and the comment transmission unit 25 will be described later.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the character content server 100 disclosed in FIG. The character content server 100 includes a main control device 101, a storage device 102, and a communication module 103. The main control device 101 includes a CPU, a RAM, an OS, and the like, and can execute functions such as a character content reading unit 111, a character content sending unit 112, and a comment insertion unit 113 that are configured as programs.

  The storage device 102 stores character content 120. The character content reading unit 111 retrieves the character content 120 corresponding to the title requested from the terminal 10 via the communication module 103 from the storage device 102 and reads it out. The character content sending unit 112 sends the searched character content 120 to the terminal 10 via the communication module 103. The comment insertion unit 113 will be described later.

  FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing a configuration of the character content 120 disclosed in FIG. The text content 120 includes title information 121, an elapsed time 122, and a comment 123. While there is only one title information 121 per character content 120, there are many elapsed times 122 and comments 123. The elapsed time 122 and the comment 123 do not necessarily correspond one-to-one, and a plurality of comments 123 can exist at the same elapsed time 122.

  The title information 121 is information that can specify the broadcast program 31 corresponding to the text content 120. Since the broadcast program 31 is recorded from a television broadcast, in this case, the broadcast date and time, the broadcast station name, the program name, and the like correspond to the title information 121. The elapsed time 122 is an elapsed time from the start of broadcasting of the broadcast program 31. The comment 123 is a comment input from the terminal 10 corresponding to the elapsed time 122.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating processing executed when the terminal 10 disclosed in FIG. 2 reproduces the broadcast program 31. When the moving image playback unit 21 starts playback of the broadcast program 31 (steps 200 to 201), the elapsed time calculation unit 23 starts calculating elapsed time since playback started (step 202). Note that the broadcast program 31 may be a recorded program read from the storage device 12 or a broadcast program received in real time received by the TV tuner 16.

  Then, the text content acquisition unit 22 transmits the title information 121 of the broadcast program 31 to the text content server 100, inquires about the presence or absence of the text content 120 corresponding thereto (step 203), and determines a response from the text content server 100. (Step 204). If the corresponding character content 120 exists, the character content 120 is sent to the terminal 10, so the terminal 10 receives it (step 205) and proceeds to step 206. If not, the process proceeds to step 206 as it is.

  When the character content 120 is received, the comment display unit 24 subsequently determines whether or not a comment 123 corresponding to the elapsed time 122 calculated by the elapsed time calculation unit 23 can exist in the received character content 120. (Step 206). If it exists, the comment 123 is displayed on the screen of the broadcast program 31 being reproduced (step 207), and the process proceeds to step 208. If the comment 123 does not exist, the process proceeds to step 208 as it is. If it is determined in step 204 that there is no character content, the process proceeds to step 208 as it is.

  FIG. 6 is an image diagram showing a configuration of a screen displayed on the display 13 when the broadcast program 31 is being reproduced by the processing shown in FIG. A window 51 for displaying the broadcast program 31 and a comment display frame 52 for displaying the comment 123 are formed in the display 13. The comment display frame 52 may be inside or outside the window 51.

  A comment input frame 53 is also prepared on the screen. When the user inputs a comment 123 into the comment input frame 53 via the input device 14 and presses the transmission button 54, the input comment 123 is transmitted to the character content server 100 by the comment transmission unit 25. As a result, the user can send a new comment 123 to the text content server 100 to be added to the text content 120.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the comment transmission unit 25 determines whether or not there is an input of the comment 123 from the user (whether the transmission button 54 is pressed) (step 208). Then, an addition request including the elapsed time 122 when the comment is input and the title information 121 of the broadcast program 31 currently being reproduced is transmitted to the text content server 100 (step 209), and the process proceeds to step 210. . If no comment 123 is input, the process proceeds to step 210 as it is. Note that the transmission of the addition request in step 209 can be performed by electronic mail, or can be performed by other communication protocols.

  Finally, the moving image reproduction unit 21 determines whether or not the reproduction of the broadcast program 31 is finished (step 210), and if not finished, returns to step 206. If completed, the process ends as it is (step 211).

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing processing executed when the text content server 100 disclosed in FIG. 3 receives a transmission request for text content 120 from the terminal 10. If the transmission request is for text content 120, title information 121 is sent from terminal 10.

  When processing is started and a transmission request for character content 120 is received from the terminal 10 (steps 300 to 301), the character content reading unit 111 determines whether or not the character content 120 corresponding to the title information 121 is stored in the storage device 102. This is searched and judged (steps 302 to 303). If stored, the character content transmission unit 112 transmits the corresponding character content 120 to the terminal 10 (step 304), and the process is terminated (step 306). If not stored, the character content sending unit 112 transmits an error message to the effect that “the corresponding character content does not exist” to the terminal 10 (step 305), and the process ends (step 306).

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing processing executed when the character content server 100 disclosed in FIG. 3 receives a comment 123 addition request from the terminal 10. If it is a request for adding a comment 123, title information 121, an elapsed time 122, and a comment 123 are sent from the terminal 10.

  When processing is started and a request for adding a comment 123 is received from the terminal 10 (steps 350 to 351), the comment insertion unit 113 determines whether or not the text content 120 corresponding to the title information 121 is stored in the storage device 102. Search and judge (steps 352 to 353). If stored, the corresponding character content 120 is read from the storage device 102 (step 354). If not stored, a new text content 120 corresponding to the title information 121 is created (step 355).

  The comment insertion unit 113 adds the elapsed time 122 and the comment 123 transmitted from the terminal 10 to the read or newly created character content 120 and stores them in the storage device 102 (step 356). Is finished (step 357). Here, if all the comments 123 are sorted in order of the elapsed time 122 and then stored, it is preferable because processing of displaying the comments on the terminal 10 is facilitated.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the operations of the terminal 10, the terminal 10b, and the character content server 100 described in FIG. 5 and FIGS. The terminal 10 b has the same function as the terminal 10 and is a terminal operated by a user different from the terminal 10. Although the user of the terminal 10 is watching the same broadcast program 31 broadcast from the TV station 150 in real time (step A1), the user of the terminal 10b cannot watch in real time, so that the absence recording is performed (step A4). .

  Since the user of the terminal 10 views the broadcast program 31 in real time, the character content 120 corresponding to the title information 121 does not exist in the character content server 100 when the broadcast program 31 starts broadcasting. However, as described in steps 208 to 209 in FIG. 5, the comment 123 can be transmitted to the text content server 100 for the broadcast program 31 (step A2). In the text content server 100, as described in step 355 of FIG. 8, the text content 120 corresponding to the title information 121 of the broadcast program 31 is newly created, and a comment 123 is added and stored therein (step A3).

  The user of the terminal 10b reproduces the broadcast program 31 recorded in step A4 after the real-time broadcast is finished, and starts viewing (step A5). Then, the terminal 10b transmits the title information 121 of the broadcast program 31 to the text content server 100 as described in Steps 203 to 205 in FIG. 5 (Step A6). As described in FIG. 7, the character content server 100 transmits the character content 120 corresponding to the title information 121 to the terminal 10b (step A7).

  As described in steps 206 to 207 in FIG. 5, the terminal 10 b displays the comment 123 corresponding to the elapsed time 122 included in the received text content 120 on the screen of the broadcast program 31 being reproduced (step A <b> 8). . As a result, the user of the terminal 10b can see the comment 123 transmitted by the user of the terminal 10 in step A2 at the same screen timing as in step A2.

  The operation content of each step according to the flowcharts described in FIG. 5 and FIGS. 7 to 9 is configured to be executed as a program that operates on a computer provided in advance in each of the terminal 10, the terminal 10b, and the character content server 100. be able to.

  Further, the comment 123 of the text content 120 may include audience rating data for the broadcast program 31 per minute. In this way, a time zone with a high audience rating per minute can be regarded as a “rising scene” and can be used in such a manner that such time zone is viewed with priority.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 10 is a network configuration diagram of the video viewing system 401 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, packaged video content by commercially available or rental DVD 418 is assumed to be moving image content. The moving image viewing system 401 according to the present embodiment includes a terminal 410 owned by a user, and a character content server 100 connected to the terminal 410 via a network 160. There may be a plurality of terminals 410. Note that the text content server 100 is the same as that in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing a configuration of terminal 410 disclosed in FIG. Since the terminal 410 is mostly the same as the terminal 10 according to the first embodiment, common elements are given the same reference numerals, and only differences will be described here. The terminal 410 does not include the TV tuner 16 and the TV broadcast recording unit 26 that exist in the terminal 10, and instead includes a DVD drive 417. The moving image playback unit 21 plays back the video recorded on the DVD 418 via the DVD drive 417 and displays it on the display 13. There is no broadcast program 31 stored in the storage device 12.

  In the text content 120 held by the text content server 100, the title information 121 is information that can identify the DVD 418. In this case, the title information 121 corresponds to the title, manufacturer, product number, JAN code, ASIN code, etc. of the DVD 418.

  The elements other than those described above are exactly the same in the first and second embodiments, and the processing actually performed is the same as that described with reference to FIGS. Is omitted. Of course, the second embodiment is not limited to the DVD 418, but also to an optical disc (CD video, Blu-ray disc, etc.) other than a video tape or DVD, and video content officially distributed via the Internet or the like. Can be applied.

  In the first embodiment, a user watches a television broadcast program recorded by the user as an individual. In the second embodiment, a user views a DVD permitted to be viewed as an individual as an individual.

Therefore, these methods fall within the category of private use referred to in Article 30 of the Copyright Act and do not infringe copyright.

  When playing the same video content, even if the time of the playback start itself is different, if the elapsed time 122 from the start of playback is accurately calculated, it can be considered that any user is watching the same scene. . Therefore, if the comment 123 is displayed using the elapsed time 122 as a key, any user can see the comment 123 attached at the same screen timing, and can add the comment 123. A community similar to the add-on video sharing site can be formed.

  Furthermore, the character content 120 with a small capacity is exchanged via the network 160. Since the moving image content itself is not exchanged via the network 160, the communication speed of the network 160 and the processing speed of the terminal 10 (410) need not be high. The present invention can be easily applied even in an environment where communication speed and processing capacity are limited, such as a mobile phone.
