The moving image sharing server 30 may be configured using a plurality of server devices each having a configuration as a general computer.

  Next, functions of the user terminal 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically showing functions of the user terminal 10. As illustrated, the user terminal 10 includes an information storage management unit 41 that stores and manages information, a moving image recording control unit 43 that controls recording of moving images, and a moving image sharing control unit 45 that controls sharing of moving images. . These functions are realized by the cooperation of hardware such as the CPU 11 and the main memory 12 and various programs (including the moving image recording program 40) and data stored in the storage 15 and the like. For example, it is realized by the CPU 11 executing an instruction included in a program read into the main memory 12. The moving image recording program 40 is configured to include a moving image recording control module that causes the user terminal 10 to function as the moving image recording control unit 43 and a moving image sharing control module that causes the user terminal 10 to function as the moving image sharing control unit 45. obtain.

  The information storage management unit 41 stores and manages various information in the storage 15 and the like. For example, the information storage management unit 41 stores the recorded moving image.

  The moving image recording control unit 43 executes various processes related to the control of moving image recording. For example, the moving image recording control unit 43 displays a first object that receives an operation input by the user on the screen. For example, the moving image recording control unit 43 displays the first object on the screen in response to the activation of the moving image recording program 40. In addition, the moving image recording control unit 43 starts recording a moving image on the screen in response to an operation input to the first object, and reproduces and displays the recorded moving image in response to the end of recording the moving image. And the 3rd object which receives the operation input for sharing the recorded moving image with another user is displayed on a screen.

  As described above, the user terminal 10 according to the present embodiment reproduces and displays the recorded moving image according to the end of the recording of the moving image, and an operation for sharing the recorded moving image with other users. Since the third object that accepts the input is displayed on the screen, the user performs an operation input for sharing the moving image through the third object while checking the content of the moving image recorded through the second object. Can do. That is, the user terminal 10 according to the present embodiment can promote sharing of the recorded moving image of the screen between users.

  In the present embodiment, each object displayed on the screen by the moving image recording control unit 43 is displayed, for example, on the screen corresponding to the lower layer (sometimes referred to as “overlay display”). . The screen corresponding to the lower layer is, for example, a home screen of an operating system (OS) or a screen of a program other than the moving image recording program 40. That is, the screen displayed on the display device (display or the like) of the user terminal 10 in the present embodiment is configured by, for example, a plurality of layers, and the moving image recording control unit 43 is displayed on the OS home screen and other program screens. Each object may be configured to be displayed in a layer above the corresponding layer.

  In the present embodiment, the moving image on the screen may include sound output via a speaker or the like (sound output by an OS and a program) and / or sound input via a microphone or the like. That is, the moving image recording control unit 43 can be configured to record a moving image including these sounds as a moving image on the screen.

  In the present embodiment, the moving image recording control unit 43 starts recording a moving image in response to the first type of operation input on the first object, and performs the second recording on the first object (before starting the recording of the moving image). The moving image recording program 40 may be configured to end in accordance with the type of operation input. That is, the first object can be configured to receive an operation input corresponding to the start of moving image recording and an operation input corresponding to the end of the moving image recording program 40. According to this configuration, the user can start the moving image recording and end the moving image recording program 40 by an operation on the first object.

  The first and second types of operation inputs are not particularly limited. For example, the first type of operation input is a tap operation on the first object. In addition, for example, the second type of operation input is an operation of overlaying the first object on a fourth object displayed on the screen in response to a long tap operation on the first object (a long tap operation on the first object, and This is a continuous slide operation to the fourth object). In this case, the moving image recording control unit 43 displays the fourth object on the screen in response to a long tap operation on the first object.

  In addition, the moving image recording control unit 43 can be configured to end the recording of the moving image in response to an operation input to the first object. In this case, in addition to ending the recording of the moving image in response to the operation input to the first object, the moving image recording control unit 43 responds to the fact that the elapsed time from the start of recording has reached a predetermined time It may be configured to end the recording of the video (ie, set a maximum recording time). According to this configuration, the user can end the recording of the moving image without an operation of ending the recording of the moving image.

  Further, the moving image recording control unit 43 ends the recording of the moving image in response to the third type of operation input for the first object, and performs the fourth type of operation input for the first object (during the recording of the moving image). In response, the recording of the moving image may be interrupted and redone. That is, the first object can be configured to receive an operation input corresponding to the end of moving image recording and an operation input corresponding to the re-recording of the moving image. According to this configuration, the user can execute the end of the moving image recording and the re-recording of the moving image by an operation on the first object.

  The third and fourth types of operation inputs are not particularly limited. For example, the third type of operation input is a tap operation on the first object. The fourth type of operation input is, for example, an operation of overlaying the first object on the fifth object displayed on the screen in response to a long tap operation on the first object (a long tap operation on the first object, and This is a continuous slide operation to the fifth object). In this case, the moving image recording control unit 43 displays the fifth object on the screen in response to a long tap operation on the first object.

  Further, the moving image recording control unit 43 displays the first object in the first mode, and changes the display mode of the first object from the first mode to the second mode with the start of recording of the moving image. Can be configured. The displays corresponding to the first and second modes have different colors, shapes, and / or sizes, for example.

  The moving image sharing control unit 45 executes various processes relating to moving image sharing control. For example, the moving image sharing control unit 45 transmits the recorded moving image to the moving image sharing server 30 in response to an operation input on the third object.

  The sharing of moving images in the present embodiment includes posting of moving images to a specific site (SNS, blog, etc.), for example. That is, the third object can be configured to accept an operation input for posting the recorded moving image to a specific site. A specific site may be provided by the moving image sharing server 30. Moreover, the sharing of the moving image in the present embodiment includes, for example, transmission of a message associated with the recorded moving image. That is, the third object can be configured to receive an operation input for transmitting a message associated with the recorded moving image. The message can be managed by the moving image sharing server 30. In these cases, the video sharing control unit 45 is configured to post the text input via the operation input for the third object to a specific site together with the video, or to transmit the text as a message associated with the video. obtain.

  Next, operation | movement of the user terminal 10 of this embodiment which has such a function is demonstrated using the specific example according to this embodiment. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the process executed by the user terminal 10 in this example. First, the user terminal 10 displays a basic operation button (first object) on the screen in response to the activation of the moving picture recording program 40 (step S100).

  FIG. 4 shows an example of a screen 50 displayed on the display device of the user terminal 10. As shown in the figure, the screen 50 includes a status bar 52 at the upper end of the screen, a content area 54 at the center of the screen, and a navigation bar 56 at the lower end of the screen. The status bar 52 displays status such as time, remaining battery level, radio wave state, volume state, and various notifications. The content area 54 displays an OS home screen and a program (application) screen. The navigation bar 56 displays soft keys (such as a back button, a home button, and a recently used application list button).

  FIG. 5 illustrates a screen 50 in a state where the basic operation buttons 60 are displayed in response to the start of the moving image recording program 40. In this example, the basic operation button 60 is an object having a double circle shape, and is displayed at a position slightly below the center in the content area 54.

  In this example, the moving image recording program 40 overlays each object including the basic operation buttons 60 on the lower layer screen (the OS home screen or a screen of a program other than the moving image recording program 40). (The moving image recording program 40 displays each object in a layer higher than the layers corresponding to the home screen of the OS and the screens of other programs). In the content area 54, the screen of the lower layer is visually recognized in the area excluding each object displayed by the moving image recording program 40.

  The basic operation button 60 is an object that receives an operation input by the user. Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 3, when the user performs a tap operation (first type operation input) on the basic operation button 60, the user terminal 10 starts screen recording (step S110).

  FIG. 6 illustrates the screen 50 after the screen recording is started (during recording). As shown in the figure, the display mode of the basic operation button 60 changes when screen recording is started. In this example, as shown in the figure, the basic operation button 60 changes the color inside the circle inside the double circle according to the start of screen recording.

  Here, the basic operation button 60 is configured to accept an operation input other than the start of recording before the start of recording. Specifically, the basic operation button 60 is configured to accept an operation input corresponding to the end of the moving image recording program 40 before the start of recording. If the user performs a long tap operation on the basic operation button 60 before the start of recording, the user terminal 10 sets the end object 62 (fourth object) to the approximate center of the screen 50 as shown in FIG. indicate. When the user performs a slide operation while maintaining the touch operation state on the basic operation button 60, the basic operation button 60 moves according to the slide operation. When the basic operation button 60 is superimposed on the end object 62 by the movement, the user terminal 10 ends the moving image recording program 40. That is, the basic operation button 60 is configured to accept a long tap operation corresponding to the end of the moving image recording program 40 and a slide operation (second type operation input) to the end object 62 that is continuous thereto. Has been. Note that the user can also move the basic operation button 60 to a position other than the end object 62 by a long tap operation on the basic operation button 60 and a slide operation that follows the long tap operation.

  While the screen is being recorded, the user can perform an operation through the home screen of the OS or the screen of another program by performing an operation input to an area other than the basic operation buttons 60 in the content area 54. For example, the user can use the function of the OS by operating the OS on the home screen. For example, the user starts a program for recording the screen. Further, for example, the user can use another program (for example, play a game) by operating the screen of the other program. During the recording of the screen, the user terminal 10 records a state in which such a program is activated and a state in which the activated program is used as a moving image.

  FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of an example of the basic operation button 60 during the recording of the screen. As shown in the figure, during the recording of the screen, the annular portion 601 outside the basic operation button 60 in the shape of a double circle displays the elapsed time since the recording was started. Specifically, the ring portion 601 is configured to display the elapsed time according to the size of an elapsed time display portion 6011 that proceeds clockwise with the 12 o'clock position as a reference. Here, in this example, the maximum recording time (for example, 30 seconds) is set, and one round of the annular portion 601 corresponds to the maximum time.

  When the user performs a long tap operation on the basic operation button 60 during the recording of the screen, the user terminal 10 moves the redo object 64 (fifth object) to the approximate center of the content area 54 as shown in FIG. To display. When the user performs a slide operation while maintaining the touch operation state on the basic operation button 60, the basic operation button 60 moves according to the slide operation. When the basic operation button 60 is superimposed on the redo object 64 by the movement, the user terminal 10 interrupts (cancels) the screen recording and starts the screen recording from the beginning again. That is, the basic operation button 60 is configured to accept a long tap operation corresponding to the re-recording of the recording, and a slide operation (fourth type operation input) to the redo object 64 that follows this. Note that the user can redo and move the basic operation button 60 to a position other than the object 64 by a long tap operation on the basic operation button 60 and a slide operation that follows the long operation, as before the start of recording.

  When the user performs a tap operation (third type operation input) on the basic operation button 60 during screen recording, the user terminal 10 ends the screen recording. Further, as described above, in this example, when the recording time reaches the maximum time, the user terminal 10 ends the screen recording.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 3, when the screen recording ends, the user terminal 10 displays the preview object 66 (second object) and the menu object 68 (third object) on the screen 50 (step S120). FIG. 10 shows an example of the screen 50 on which the preview object 66 and the menu object 68 are displayed. As shown in the figure, the preview object 66 is positioned substantially at the center of the content area 54 and reproduces and displays the recorded moving image (preview display). The preview object 66 is displayed so that empty spaces exist on the top, bottom, left, and right. Through the empty space in the content area 54, the user can visually recognize the screen of the lower layer (the home screen of the OS or a screen of a program other than the moving image recording program 40). This can prevent the user from confusing the preview display in the preview object 66 with the current screen display in the lower layer.

  The menu object 68 is located near the lower end of the content area 54, and includes a redo button 681, a save button 682, a comment input button 683, and a posting button 684. It should be noted that the basic operation button 60 is deleted as the preview object 66 and the menu object 68 are displayed.

  The redo button 681 of the menu object 68 is a button for redoing the recording. In response to the selection of the redo button 681, the user terminal 10 deletes the recorded moving image and starts recording the screen from the beginning again. The save button 682 is a button for saving the recorded moving image. In response to the selection of the save button 682, the user terminal 10 saves the recorded moving image in a predetermined folder. The folder for storing the moving image can be specified by the user.

  The comment input button 683 is a button for inputting a comment when posting the recorded moving image to a specific SNS. In response to the selection of the comment input button 683, the user terminal 10 displays a comment input area 6831 in a balloon form above the comment input button 683 (see FIG. 11), and a comment by the user via the comment input area 6831 Accepts input. The posting button 684 is a button for posting the recorded moving image to a specific SNS. In response to the selection of the posting button 684, the user terminal 10 posts the recorded moving image to a specific SNS. Specifically, the user terminal 10 transmits the comment received via the comment input area 6831 and the recorded moving image of the screen to the moving image sharing server 30 that provides a specific SNS. Here, the user can post only a moving image without inputting a comment via the comment input area 6831. As described above, the menu object 68 is used to input an operation for posting the recorded moving image to a specific SNS (selection of the comment input button 683, input of a comment via the comment input area 6831, and selection of the post button 684). Is configured to accept. In another example according to the present embodiment, the menu object 68 is configured not to have a redo button 681 and a save button 682.

  In this example, the recorded moving image is posted to one specific SNS in response to selection of the posting button 684. In another example according to the present embodiment, a plurality of posting destination options (including an SNS and a message management service) are displayed on the screen 50 according to the selection of the posting button 684, and the recorded video is selected by the user. Posted (sent) to the destination.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of the screen 50 during posting of a moving image (during transmission). As shown in the figure, during posting of a moving image, a transmission status display object 69 is displayed at a position slightly below the center in the content area 54. Note that the preview object 66 and the menu object 68 are deleted according to the selection of the posting button 684. As shown in the figure, the transmission status display object 69 has a circular shape, and displays the progress status of the posting (transmission) of the moving image by the size of a semicircle adjacent to the lower side of the inside of the circle.

  The user terminal 10 according to the present embodiment described above displays a first object (for example, the basic operation button 60) that receives an operation input on the screen in response to the execution of the moving image recording program 40, and the first object is displayed. In response to the operation input, recording of the moving image on the screen is started, and in response to the end of recording of the moving image, the second object (for example, the preview object 66) that reproduces and displays the recorded moving image, and the recorded moving image A third object (for example, menu object 68) that accepts an operation input for sharing with other users is displayed on the screen. Therefore, the user can perform an operation input for sharing a moving image via the third object while confirming the content of the recorded moving image via the second object. That is, the user terminal 10 according to the present embodiment can promote sharing of the recorded moving image of the screen between users.
