For example, when an input completion instruction is input by pressing the enter key or the like, when the enter key is pressed, A comment or the like is transmitted to the comment distribution server 2 as if the “” button was clicked. Thereby, it is possible to input a comment quickly and easily. By unchecking “1 line” in the check box 114, it becomes possible to describe characters and symbols across multiple lines, and ASCII art (also referred to as text art) in which characters and symbols are arranged is input as a comment. can do.

FIGS. 8 and 9 are diagrams illustrating examples of information displayed on the output device 414 of a user who is permitted to set a command, and are examples of display in which a command can be given while viewing a moving image.
For a user whose command setting is permitted, such as a video poster, a video viewing page P1 ′ as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed. The video viewing page P1 ′ is obtained by adding a game mode button 120, which is a button for transitioning to a screen on which a command can be set, to the video viewing page P1 shown in FIG. When the cursor is placed on the game mode button 120 with the mouse and clicked, a command edit page P2 shown in FIG. 9 is displayed. When the game mode button 120 is clicked, a change confirmation page for the game mode is displayed, and when the confirmation button in the change confirmation page is clicked, the command edit page P2 is displayed. May be.

  In the command editing page P2 shown in FIG. 9, the same parts as those of the moving image viewing page P1 are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted. A command is input by the user via the input unit 418 to the command display field 121 of the command edit page P2. When the button 122 is clicked, the command input to the input field 121, the command grant time, the moving image ID, and the user ID are transmitted to the command distribution server 3 and stored in the command information storage unit 422. The display column 123 is an area in which the display column 105 is displayed by the second output unit 417 and commands are sequentially displayed according to the comment addition time. The command indicated by the command information stored in the command information storage unit 422 Or, the command input in the input field 121 is displayed. In the display column 123, a command grant time (reference numeral 123a), a command (reference numeral 123b), a command setting real time (reference numeral 123c), and a deletion link (reference numeral 123d) are displayed in the order of the command grant time. When the deletion link (reference numeral 123d) is clicked, a command setting data deletion request corresponding to the command is transmitted to the command distribution server 3 and deleted, and is also deleted from the command information storage unit 422. Also, by clicking on the command line, the display jumps to the frame of the command.

The link 124, when clicked, displays a command auxiliary input page P3 that displays buttons corresponding to various commands. The command auxiliary input page P3 displays the command format in the input field 121 by clicking a button corresponding to the command that the user wants to set, and assists the command input.
Also, the command giving time command corresponding to the current video playback time of the video being played is moved and displayed in the display column 104 (reference numeral 126). The setting completion button 125 is clicked to return to the video viewing page P1 ′.

For example, on the command edit page P2, a command to be executed at a desired timing during video playback, here, a comment “O” is totaled, a command for displaying the total result is input in the input field 121, and the button 122 is pressed. When clicked, the input command is displayed in the display field 123. As a result, when a comment “O” is input from the start to the end of the moving image, a command to be counted and displayed at the lower left of the screen is set.
When the setting completion button 125 is clicked to check whether the command is reflected, the moving image transitions from the command edit page P2 to the moving image viewing page P1 ′.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an output image in the display column 102 of the moving image viewing page P1 'after the above-described command setting. In the figure, when a comment “O” is posted in the same manner as a normal moving image, a function for counting the number is executed by a set command, and the number of “O” input is displayed. Further, after the command is set, the same display as in FIG. 10 is output to the display field 102 of the moving image viewing page P1 in the terminal device 4 of the user other than the command setter. However, since the comment information is constantly updated and distributed to the terminal device 4, even if it is the same video playback time, the displayed comment or command execution result (here, “ The total number of “○” is different.

Next, the operation of the above-described moving image distribution system will be described. Here, the operations of the comment distribution server 2, the command distribution server 3, and the terminal device 4 will be described sequentially. Here, it is assumed that the terminal device 4 accesses the comment distribution server 2 and logs in by inputting a user ID and a password.
First, operation | movement of the comment delivery server 2 is demonstrated using the flowchart of FIG.
The communication unit 24 of the comment distribution server 2 detects whether or not a comment information distribution request has been received from the terminal device 4 (step S101). When the comment information distribution request is received (step S101—YES), the communication unit 24 instructs the comment information distribution unit 22 to distribute the comment information. Here, the moving image ID and thread ID of the comment information included in the distribution request are output to the comment information distribution unit 22. The comment information distribution unit 22 reads the comment information corresponding to the moving image ID and thread ID output from the communication unit 24 from the comment information storage unit 21 (step S102), and the terminal device 4 that has requested the distribution of the read comment information. (Step S103). Here, each comment information associated with the moving image ID and the thread ID is transmitted in a lump. At this time, a predetermined number of comment data from the latest comment posting actual time may be transmitted as comment information. After the comment information is distributed in step S103, the process proceeds to step S101.

On the other hand, when the comment data transmitted from the terminal device 4 is received (step S104-YES) instead of the comment information distribution request (step S101-NO), the communication unit 24 converts the comment data into the comment information update management unit 23. Output to. The comment information update management unit 23 refers to the comment information storage unit 21, identifies the comment information based on the video ID and thread ID included in the comment data output from the communication unit 24, and for the identified comment information, The received comment data is additionally stored (step S105). When the additional information is stored, the comment information distribution unit 22 reproduces the moving image with the moving image ID, and the terminal device 4 viewing the comment with the thread ID together with the moving image with the moving image ID. The specified comment data is distributed to each of the identified terminal devices 4 (step S106). After the comment data is distributed in step S106, the process proceeds to step S101.
On the other hand, when it is not a comment information distribution request (step S101-NO) and the comment data transmitted from the terminal device 4 is not received (step S104-NO), the process proceeds to step S101. Here, as a method of specifying the terminal device 4 that is playing a video with the same video ID and is browsing the comment of the thread with the thread ID, for example, the terminal device 4 that has accessed the comment distribution server 2 And a session is established, and the terminal device 4 in which the session is valid is specified as a moving image browsing.

Next, the operation of the command distribution server 3 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.
The communication unit 34 of the command distribution server 3 detects whether or not a command information distribution request has been received from the terminal device 4 (step S201). When the command information distribution request is received (step S201—YES), the communication unit 34 instructs the command information distribution unit 32 to distribute the command information. Here, the moving image ID included in the distribution request is output to the command information distribution unit 32. The command information distribution unit 32 reads the command information corresponding to the moving image ID output from the communication unit 34 from the command information storage unit 31 (step S202). The read command information is distributed to the terminal device 4 that has requested distribution (step S203). Here, the command information associated with the moving image ID is transmitted in a batch. After the command information is distributed in step S203, the process proceeds to step S201.

On the other hand, when the command setting data transmitted from the terminal device 4 is received (step S204—YES) instead of the command information distribution request (step S201—NO), the communication unit 34 manages the command setting data as command information update management. To the unit 33. The command information update management unit 33 refers to the command information storage unit 31, specifies command information based on the moving image ID included in the command setting data output from the communication unit 34, and receives the specified command information. Command setting data is additionally stored (step S205). At this time, if the command setting actual time is not included in the received command setting data, command setting data indicating the current time is given. After the command setting data is additionally stored in step S205, the process proceeds to step S201.
On the other hand, if the command setting data transmitted from the terminal device 4 is not received (step S201-NO) instead of the command information distribution request (step S201-NO), the process proceeds to step S201.

Next, operation | movement of the terminal device 4 is demonstrated using drawing. 13 to 15 are flowcharts for explaining the operation of the terminal device 4.
First, in FIG. 13, the video playback unit 411 of the terminal device 4 receives a video input to be played from the input unit 418 from the user on the menu screen, and further receives a video playback instruction (step). (S301-YES), the moving image ID of the instructed moving image is transmitted to the moving image distribution server 1, and the moving image distribution is requested. Further, the terminal device 4 transmits a video ID, user ID and comment information distribution request to the comment distribution server 2, and a video ID, user ID and command information distribution request to the command distribution server 3. The moving image distribution server 1 determines whether or not the user ID when the terminal device 4 that has transmitted the moving image ID logs in is a user ID that permits command setting, and if it is a user ID that allows command setting. If the video viewing page P1 ′ is a user ID for which command setting is not permitted, the video viewing page P1 is distributed to the terminal device 4. Here, if the user ID received at the time of login matches the user ID of the poster of the moving image stored corresponding to the received moving image ID, it is determined that the user is permitted to set the command. The video playback unit 411 of the terminal device 4 receives video data from the video distribution server 1, and the comment information reception unit 412 receives comment information corresponding to the video ID from the comment distribution server 2 and receives a comment information storage unit. The command information receiving unit 421 receives the command information corresponding to the moving image ID from the command distribution server 3 and stores it in the command information storage unit 422 (step S302).

  Next, the video playback unit 411 of the terminal device 4 starts playback of the video distributed from the video distribution server 1 (step S303). The terminal device 4 determines whether or not the game mode has been selected based on whether or not the game mode button 120 on the video viewing page P1 'has been clicked. (Step S304). When the game mode is not selected, the command execution unit 423 refers to the command information corresponding to the video ID stored in the command information storage unit 422 based on the current video playback time, and the video playback time The presence or absence of command setting data that matches is determined (step S305). If there is command setting data that matches the video playback time (step S306—YES), the command execution unit 423 starts executing the command indicated by the command setting data (step S307).

  Subsequently, the comment information output unit 415 refers to the comment information corresponding to the video ID stored in the comment information storage unit 413 based on the current video playback time, and comment data that matches the video playback time. Whether or not there is is determined (step S308). If there is comment data that matches the video playback time (step S309—YES), the comment information output unit 415 reads the comment data that matches the video playback time from the comment information storage unit 413 and outputs the comment data to the command execution unit 423. If no command has been executed yet (step S310—NO), the command execution unit 423 outputs the comment data received from the comment information output unit 415 as it is to the first output unit 416 (step S311). The first output unit 416 calculates the display position of the comment data, and performs display control of the comment on the moving image according to the calculated display position.

  On the other hand, if any of the commands is executed (step S310—YES), processing using the comment, such as totaling the comment or replacing a character string in the comment, is executed according to the command being executed. In the command that is being executed, if the character string is replaced by the command processing without changing the comment that is not the character string replacement target, the comment that has been replaced is sent to the first output unit 416. To. Further, when the command execution unit 423 needs to display a command execution result, for example, a result of aggregation based on a comment or a character string corresponding to the comment, the command execution result to be displayed is displayed in the first output unit. It outputs to 416 (step S312). Specific commands will be described later.

  The video playback unit 411 determines whether or not the playback of the video has ended (step S313). If the playback has ended (step S313-YES), the processing ends, and if the playback has not ended. (Step S311-NO), the process proceeds to Step S304.

Note that, in step S309, the case where there is no command setting data matching the moving image playback time (step S309-NO) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
The transmission unit 410 of the terminal device 4 detects whether or not a comment has been input from the input unit 418 (step S321). If a comment has been input (step S321—YES), the software that is playing the moving image when the comment is input (for example, when the “write” button (reference numeral 111) is clicked). The video playback time pointed to by the player is read out, the video playback time is set as the comment giving time, the video ID of the video being played back, the thread ID of the comment being browsed, and the current real-time information (current time information) The user name of the user of the terminal device 4, the input comment content, the comment display method, and the user ID are associated with each other and additionally stored in the comment information of the comment information storage unit 413 as comment data (step S322). . Then, the transmission unit 410 transmits the additionally stored comment data to the comment distribution server 2 (step S323), and proceeds to step S313 in FIG.

  In step S321, when it is not input of a comment (step S321-NO), the terminal device 4 detects whether or not comment data is received by the comment information receiving unit 412 (step S324). When comment data is received (YES in step S324), the comment information receiving unit 412 additionally stores the received comment data in the comment information storage unit 413 (step S325), and proceeds to step S313 in FIG.

  On the other hand, if the comment data is not received in step S324 (step S324-NO), the selection unit 419 of the terminal device 4 detects whether or not a comment selection operation has been input from the input unit 418 (step S326). . When a comment selection operation is input (YES in step S326), the selection unit 419 outputs the comment content of the selected comment data to the reproduction control unit 420. In response to this output, the playback control unit 420 reads the comment addition time stored in association with the selected comment data with reference to the comment information storage unit 413, and plays the video according to the read comment addition time. By rewinding or fast-forwarding the video playback position according to the time, playback is started from the video playback time that matches the comment grant time stored in association with the comment data (step S327). The comment content is displayed, and the process proceeds to step S313 in FIG.

Next, the case where the game mode is selected in step S304 of FIG. 13 (step S304—YES) will be described using the flowchart of FIG.
When the game mode is selected (step S304—YES), the terminal device 4 displays the command edit page P2. Based on the current video playback time, the command execution unit 423 refers to command information corresponding to the video ID stored in the command information storage unit 422, and determines whether there is command setting data matching the video playback time. Determination is made (step S351).
If there is command setting data that matches the video playback time (step S352—YES), the command execution unit 423 outputs the read command setting data to the first output unit 416 (step S353). The first output unit 416 performs display control of the command indicated by the command setting data on the moving image.

  Subsequently, the transmission unit 410 of the terminal device 4 detects whether or not a command is input from the input unit 418 (step S354). If a command has been input (YES in step S354), the software playing the moving image at the time when the command is input (for example, when the “write” button (reference numeral 122) is clicked). The video playback time pointed to by the player is read out, the video playback time is set as the command grant time, the video ID of the video being played back, the current real time information (current time information), and the setting command indicating the input command The information and the user ID are associated with each other and additionally stored as command setting data in the command information in the command information storage unit 422 (step S355). Then, the transmission unit 410 transmits the additionally stored comment data to the command distribution server 3 (step S356), and determines whether or not a setting completion input has been performed by clicking the setting completion button 125 (step S356). S357). If setting completion is not input (step S357—NO), the process returns to step S351 to perform processing. When setting completion is input (step S357—YES), the moving image viewing page P1 ′ is displayed, and the process proceeds to step S313 in FIG.

  In step S354, when it is not a command input (step S354-NO), the selection unit 419 of the terminal device 4 detects whether or not a command selection operation is input from the input unit 418 (step S358). When a command selection operation is input (step S358—YES), the selection unit 419 outputs the selected command to the reproduction control unit 420. Upon receiving this output, the playback control unit 420 reads out the command grant time stored in association with the selected command with reference to the command information storage unit 422, and plays the video playback time according to the read command grant time. Accordingly, by rewinding or fast-forwarding the video playback position, playback is performed from the video playback time that matches the command grant time stored in association with the command setting data (step S359). The command is displayed, and the process proceeds to step S357.

  Note that the command execution unit 423 of the terminal device 4 may execute the command using the comment information distributed from the comment distribution server 2 after the moving image reproduction unit 411 starts reproducing the moving image data. For example, when a command for counting specific characters included in a comment is started when the video playback time is 1 minute and new comment information is received from the comment distribution server 2 at the video playback time 3 minutes, the command is newly received. From the comment information, comment data having a comment grant time between 1 minute and 3 minutes is specified and the comment content is read out, and the specific character described in the comment content is also added to the total result.

In addition, when a contributor uploads a video, information indicating that the video is non-public is added by transmitting the public / non-public information of the video to the video distribution server 1 together. In this case, even if a moving image distribution request is received from the terminal device 4 of a user who is not permitted to set commands, the moving image may not be distributed. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the moving image from being browsed unless the URL is directly designated.
In the above description, the comment is text. However, content such as audio or video may be included in addition to the text. In that case, the terminal device 4 downloads and outputs the content included in the comment.

  Next, specific examples of commands will be described in the following (1) to (9). The command is described as “command execution type, parameter 1, parameter 2,...”, And the number of parameters is variable depending on the command execution type. In the following, it is assumed that any of the parameters written in parallel with two or more enclosed by [] without being separated by “,” is used. “*” Means an arbitrary character string. In the case of a command for displaying a character string, the display color can be set before the command.

(1) Total command: The command execution unit 423 counts the number of comments including a specific character string among comments indicated by the comment data output from the comment information output unit 415, and outputs the count number to the output device 414. Instructs the first output unit 416 to display in the display field 104 of the moving image viewing page P1 or P1 ′ displaying the moving image. The total command is described as “Goukei, [characters to count] [*], [ue] [shita]”. Parameter 1 specifies a specific character string to be counted. Parameter 2 specifies the display area for the counted number of comments. If it is [ue], it is displayed above the displayed moving image, and if it is [shita], it is displayed below the displayed moving image.

(2) Result command: The command execution unit 423 designates the number of comments including the specific character string counted by the total command up to the frame of the image data currently displayed by the moving image reproduction unit 411 (for example, The first output unit 416 is instructed to display in the display column 104 of the moving image viewing page P1 or P1 ′ displayed by the output device 414. The result command is described as “kekka, [asc] [desc]”.
Parameter 1 is displayed in ascending order if [asc] and descending order if [desc].

(3) Replacement command: When the comment indicated by the comment data output from the comment information output unit 415 includes a comment character string including a specific character string, the command execution unit 423 includes the specific character string. Instead, the first output unit 416 is instructed to output to the display column 104 of the moving image viewing page P1 or P1 ′ displayed on the output device 414.
The replacement command is described as “okiae, [character to replace] [*], [character to replace], [all]”. Parameter 1 specifies a character string to be replaced. Parameter 2 specifies the character string after replacement. Parameter 3 is optional, and if [all] is not attached, the character string in the comment specified in parameter 1 is replaced with the character string specified in parameter 2, but if [all] is attached The entire comment including the character string specified by parameter 1 is replaced with the character string specified by parameter 2 and displayed.

(4) Window display command: The command execution unit 423 is configured to display a window of a specified shape in a specified size on the display column 104 of the moving image viewing page P1 or P1 ′ displayed by the output device 414. The output unit 416 is instructed to move the window in response to a comment containing a specific character string indicated by the comment data output from the comment information output unit 415. The window display commands are "mado, [character used as window], [size x], [size y], [character string that reacts when moving up], [amount to move up], [mov down] [Character string that reacts when moving to the right], [Amount to move downward], [Character string to react when moved to the left], [Amount to move to the left], [Character string to react when moved to the right], [Right The amount of movement]] is described. Parameter 1 is a character for designating the shape of a window to be drawn over the displayed moving image, and black, white characters such as ◯, Δ, ▽, □, ◇, etc. are used. Parameters 2 and 3 indicate the horizontal and vertical sizes of the character specified by parameter 1. Parameter 4 designates a character string to be detected for upward movement, and parameter 5 designates the character designated by parameter 1 when a comment including the character string designated by parameter 4 is detected. Specifies how much to move up. Similarly, parameters 6, 8, and 10 specify character strings to be detected for the downward, left, and right movements, respectively, and parameters 7, 9, and 11 are parameters 6, 8, and 10, respectively. When a comment including a character string that matches the character string specified in is detected, an amount to move the character specified in parameter 1 downward, left, or right is specified. When drawing a window, a moving image may be displayed only in a portion of the specified character shape window, and a portion outside the window may be filled with a predetermined color and displayed. The designated character itself may be displayed over the image without painting the outer portion.

(5) Pop command: The command execution unit 423 sets the user ID of the user using the terminal device 4 in the comment setting data output from the comment of the user, that is, the comment information output unit 415. When the comment indicated by the comment data includes a reacting character string, the video viewing page P1 or P1 ′ displayed on the output device 414 of the terminal device 4 of the user who input the comment is displayed only at that time. The designated character string is displayed only in the column 104. The pop command is described as “pop, [character string to react], [character string to display]”. Parameter 1 specifies a character string to be detected, and parameter 2 is a character string to be displayed when a comment including the character string specified by parameter 1 is detected.

(6) Tension command: The command execution unit 423 counts the number of comments within the number of valid seconds based on the comment indicated by the comment data output from the comment information output unit 415, and uses the total number as the specified title name. Thus, the first output unit 416 is instructed to display in the display field 104 of the moving image viewing page P1 or P1 ′ displayed by the output device 414.
The tension command is described as “tensyon, [total number of title names], [ue] [shita]”. Parameter 1 specifies a title name character string to be displayed when displaying the total number. Parameter 2 specifies the display location of the title name specified in parameter 1, and if it is [ue], it is displayed on the upper side, and if it is [shita], it is displayed on the lower side.

(7) Link command: The command execution unit 423 instructs the video playback unit 411 to acquire the video data of the specified video ID according to a predetermined condition, and the video viewing page displayed by the output device 414 The acquired moving image data is reproduced in the display column 104 of P1 or P1 ′. When the command execution unit 423 instructs the moving image playback unit 411 to acquire the moving image data of the moving image ID, the processing from step S302 in FIG. 13 is executed. The link command is described as “link, [video ID], [condition]”. Parameter 1 specifies the moving image ID of the moving image to be displayed by jumping from the currently displayed moving image. When parameter 2 is described, the moving image ID of the moving image to be jumped and displayed when the condition specified by parameter 2 is met is specified. Parameter 2 is described as (a) to (d) below.

(A) [kekka, character string to be counted]: The command execution unit 423 designates the largest number of character strings counted by the total command at that time as “character string to be counted”. If it is a character string, the moving image playback unit 411 is instructed to acquire the moving image data of the specified moving image ID, and is played back.
(B) [mado, designated range by multiple coordinates]: The command execution unit 423 is designated when the window created by the window command enters the coordinates within the range designated by the “designated range by multiple coordinates”. The moving image reproduction unit 411 is instructed to acquire the moving image data of the moving image ID, and is reproduced.
(C) [pop, character string to react]: The command execution unit 423 includes the comment of the user, that is, the comment data output from the comment information output unit 415 of the user using the terminal device 4. If the comment indicated by the comment data set with the user ID includes a reacting character string, the video playback unit 411 of the terminal device 4 of the user is instructed to acquire the video data of the specified video ID, By playing, only the user jumps.
(D) [tension, title]: The command execution unit 423 obtains the moving image data of the specified moving image ID when the total of the specified title names is the largest among the counting by the tension command. Instruct the moving image playback unit 411 to play it.

(8) Stop command: The stop command controls whether the moving image can be viewed or not. The stop command is described as “Stop, [on] [off]”. When parameter 1 is [on], viewing of moving images is impossible, and when it is [off], viewing of moving images is enabled. Based on the stop command, the command execution unit 423 instructs the first output unit 416 to stop outputting the moving image or cancel the stop.

(9) End command: The command execution unit 423 stops the command setting used in the frame of the image data currently displayed by the moving image playback unit 411. Unlike command deletion, this command stops the command function. The end command is described as “End, [all] [1 to n]”. When parameter 1 is [all], all commands used in the currently displayed moving image are stopped, and when [1 to n], the command specified by the number is stopped. The number specifying the command is, for example, a number given to the commands set in the same image data in the order of command grant time.

(10) Content output command: The command execution unit 423 instructs the video playback unit 411 to acquire the specified content such as a video, and the video currently displayed in the display column 104 of the video viewing page P1 or P1 ′ Or the acquired content data is output to the output device 414 for a specified time by using a window separate from the moving image viewing page P1 or P1 ′. Information about the content to be acquired is set in parameter 1 and is specified by a moving image ID or a URL (Universal Resource Locator). The output time information is set in parameter 2 and is specified by the number of seconds from the start to the end of output, the moving image playback time at which output is ended, and the like. With this command, for example, an advertisement or the like can be displayed at a desired timing during moving image reproduction.

Next, a display example in the display column 104 of the moving image viewing page P1 or P1 ′ based on a specific command setting example will be described.
FIG. 16 shows an example of counting and displaying the number of votes.
In FIG. 6A, the command execution unit 423 counts an arbitrary character string based on the total command, and displays the result at a position below the moving image. The command execution unit 423 performs this count in real time even during the reproduction of the moving image, and displays the order by changing the order accordingly. In (b), the command execution unit 423 displays the result of the count number based on the total command in descending order.
