[Game Overview]
Next, an example of a game executed on the user terminal 10 will be described. For example, in the game according to the present embodiment, the puzzle piece is erased according to the arrangement state of the puzzle piece by performing an operation of moving any one of the plurality of puzzle pieces displayed in the game screen played by the user. It is a puzzle game with points. Here, the puzzle piece is an example of a “game object” used in the game. Here, a puzzle game will be described as an example in which a user performs an operation of moving a puzzle piece and defeats an enemy (an opponent) by erasing the puzzle piece in accordance with the arrangement state of the puzzle piece. The enemy is, for example, NPC (Non Player Character). The enemy may be a user who plays with another user terminal 10.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen displayed on the display unit 14 of the user terminal 10 in the puzzle game according to the present embodiment.
On the illustrated game screen G10, a game image when the user plays the puzzle game is displayed. For example, the game screen G10 includes a puzzle screen G11 in which a user performs an operation on a puzzle piece, and a game situation screen G12 that represents a game situation.

  In the puzzle screen G11, puzzle pieces are arranged on a matrix-like board surface of N rows × M columns (N and M are natural numbers, here 4 rows × 7 columns). Puzzle pieces are classified into several types according to attributes. Attributes can be distinguished by displaying colors, shapes, and patterns. That is, each puzzle piece arranged on the board is a puzzle piece of any attribute. For example, the user performs an operation (for example, touch operation) to select one of the puzzle pieces arranged on the board surface, and performs an operation to slide the selected puzzle piece (for example, a slide operation while touching). Move the puzzle piece with. For example, the movement by the slide can be one puzzle piece in four directions, up, down, left and right. When the selected puzzle piece moves, the original puzzle piece at the destination moves to the position where the moved puzzle piece was before moving and is replaced.

  As a result of the user performing an operation of moving the puzzle piece, if the puzzle piece erasure condition is satisfied, the puzzle piece that satisfies the erasure condition is erased. For example, the puzzle piece erasing condition is that three or more puzzle pieces having the same attribute (for example, color) are arranged in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction. When the puzzle piece is erased, the puzzle piece arranged on the erased puzzle piece falls and moves. That is, another puzzle piece is replenished at the position of the erased puzzle piece. The puzzle pieces to be replenished may be those arranged on the erased puzzle pieces, or may be newly generated automatically and dropped from above. As a result, when three or more puzzle pieces having the same attribute are aligned, the puzzle pieces are also erased (so-called chain). As long as the erasure condition is satisfied, the puzzle piece is repeatedly moved and erased. When the erasure condition is not satisfied, the change of the arrangement of the puzzle pieces and the erasure process based on the changed arrangement state are completed. Then, a score is calculated based on the number and type of puzzle pieces erased, the number of chains, and the like, and an attack corresponding to the score is given to the enemy (NPC) as damage. If this is repeated and the enemy's HP is reduced to zero, the user wins. The user's defeat condition is that the user's HP becomes zero before the enemy's HP is zeroed. The user's HP is reduced by an attack that is activated when an enemy satisfies a specific condition. The specific condition is, for example, that the number of times that the user performs an operation of moving the puzzle piece becomes a predetermined value (10 times or the like). The predetermined value may be different for each enemy.

  In addition to the normal puzzle pieces described above, special puzzle pieces (hereinafter also referred to as “bombs”) are also arranged on the board. The bomb is generated when the bomb generation condition is satisfied, and is arranged on the board surface. The bomb generation condition is, for example, that four or more puzzle pieces are simultaneously erased. The bomb after being arranged can be moved by the user's operation in the same way as a normal puzzle piece, and falls when the puzzle piece arranged under the bomb is erased. Also, the bomb has an attribute (for example, color) like the puzzle piece, and is counted as an erase condition for the puzzle piece. That is, even if puzzle pieces and bombs having the same attribute (for example, color) are mixed, if three or more puzzle pieces are arranged, the erasure condition is satisfied. However, if the erasure condition is satisfied, the puzzle piece is erased, but the bomb remains without being erased. A bomb is erased, for example, when the bomb activates an effect.

  Unlike normal puzzle pieces, bombs activate their effects. The effect is, for example, erasing a predetermined range or a predetermined number of puzzle pieces on the board surface, and is activated in response to a user operation (for example, a tap operation on a bomb). Also, a bomb level indicating the degree of growth is set for the bomb, and the bomb level varies based on the user's operation. For example, when the puzzle pieces are erased by the user's operation, the bomb level rises according to the number of puzzle pieces erased, and the bomb grows. Then, an effect corresponding to the degree of bomb growth (bomb level) is activated. For example, the bomb level is set in the range of “1 to 5”, the lower limit is “1”, and the upper limit is “5”.

  The game situation screen G12 displays information on the game situation such as the battle situation with the enemy and the score label L11 for displaying the score and the bomb level label L12 for displaying the bomb level. The score indicates a score obtained by the user playing this puzzle game. The bomb level is the bomb level of the bomb generated on the puzzle screen G11. In addition, on the game situation screen G12, a moving image distribution icon B11 is displayed as an operator for inputting instructions for starting and stopping distribution of moving image data of the play moving image.

  In the present embodiment, the user terminal 10 has a function of distributing play video in real time, and starts distributing video data of the play video by operating the video distribution icon B11 (turns ON (distribution state)). In addition, when the operation on the video distribution icon B11 is performed again during the distribution of the video data of the play video, the user terminal 10 stops the distribution of the video data of the play video (sets to OFF (non-distribution state)).

  In addition, the video data of the play video distributed from the user terminal 10 is transmitted with a reduced resolution, frame rate, etc. due to a problem with the amount of communication data. It may not be possible. Further, when the user terminal 10 on the distribution side is a PC and the user terminal 10 on the browsing side is a smartphone, the viewing side has a smaller display screen than the display screen on the distribution side, so the visibility on the viewing side is reduced. Small characters may not be distinguished. Therefore, the user terminal 10 also transmits game data indicating the game situation when distributing the video data of the play video. The game data is data used for the progress of the game, for example. As a result, when the viewing-side user terminal 10 acquires the distributed video data and game data, the viewing-side user terminal 10 displays a play video based on the video data, and at a resolution and size that makes it easy to visually recognize information indicating the game status based on the game data. Now display it superimposed on the play video.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen displayed on the display unit 14 of the viewing-side user terminal 10 according to the present embodiment. On the viewing-side game screen G20 shown in the drawing, a play video having the same configuration as the game screen G10 shown in FIG. 4 (that is, the distribution-side game screen) is displayed, but the resolution or the frame rate is reduced or displayed. The visibility is low due to the difference in the size of the area. Therefore, the viewing-side user terminal 10 superimposes and displays the score label L21 and the bomb level label L22 on the play video with a resolution and size with high visibility based on the game data associated with the video data. The display based on this game data is, for example, a display of a character string using a font. In the illustrated example, each of the score label L21 and the bomb level label L22 is displayed at a position corresponding to the display position on each screen of the score label L11 and the bomb level label L12 on the game screen G10 shown in FIG. . Each of the score label L21 and the bomb level label L22 is displayed larger on the screen than each of the score label L11 and the bomb level label L12. Further, the respective resolutions of the score label L21 and the bomb level label L22 are displayed higher than the respective resolutions of the score label L11 and the bomb level label L12 included in the distributed moving image data. Thereby, the visibility of the play moving image displayed on the browsing side can be improved.

Next, functional configurations of the user terminal 10 and the server device 30 in the moving image distribution system 1 will be described in detail.
FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating an example of functional configurations of the user terminal 10 and the server device 30 according to the present embodiment. Here, as an example, the distribution side will be described as the user terminal 10-1, and the browsing side will be described as the user terminal 10-2. In the illustrated example, each of the user terminal 10-1 on the distribution side and the user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side includes one configuration on each of the distribution side and the browsing side, but includes both configurations. May be.

[Functional configuration of user terminal on distribution side]
First, the functional configuration of the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 will be described.
The user terminal 10-1 includes a processing unit 110 as a functional configuration realized by the CPU 11 executing a game control program and a moving image distribution control program stored in the storage unit 15. The processing unit 110 includes a game execution unit 111, a display control unit 112, a moving image data generation unit 113, and a data transmission unit 114.

  The game execution unit 111 has a function as a game application that executes game processing based on a game control program stored in the storage unit 15. For example, the game execution part 111 performs the process of the puzzle game demonstrated with reference to FIG. 4, and produces | generates the game image displayed on the game screen G10 which a user plays.

  The display control unit 112 causes the display unit 14 to display a game image generated by the game processing by the game execution unit 111 as a game screen G10.

  The moving image data generation unit 113 generates moving image data of a play moving image in which a game image generated by the game execution unit 111 is recorded when the user plays the game. That is, the moving image data generation unit 113 generates moving image data of a play moving image displayed on the game screen G10. For example, when the moving image distribution icon B11 is turned ON, the moving image data generation unit 113 captures a game image displayed on the game screen G10 in parallel with the game processing by the game execution unit 111, and the captured game image Generate video data of play video.

  The data transmission unit 114 transmits the moving image data generated by the moving image data generation unit 113 to the server device 30 as needed. Thereby, the moving image data of the play moving image is uploaded to the server device 30. Identification information (moving image ID) that can individually identify the moving image data is added to the uploaded moving image data. Also, identification information (terminal ID, user ID, etc.) that can identify the distribution source of the video data (user terminal 10-1 on the distribution side) is also included in the video data to be uploaded.

  Further, the data transmission unit 114 transmits game data of the game acquired from the game execution unit 111 to the server device 30 as data transmitted in association with the moving image data. This game data is a parameter based on the execution result of the game execution part 111, for example, and is a parameter showing the game situation relevant to the play animation to deliver. An example of the game situation is a parameter updated by the game execution unit 111. Specifically, as described above, parameters such as the user's score and bomb level displayed on the game screen G10 while the moving image data generation unit 113 generates moving image data. The score, bomb level, and the like are parameters updated by the game execution unit 111 while the moving image data generation unit 113 is generating moving image data.

  In addition, the data transmission unit 114 transmits game data to which information corresponding to time information of moving image data is added. The time information of the moving image data is a time code for each frame image of the moving image. For example, the time information for each frame determined by the elapsed time from the reference time with the generation start of the moving image data as the reference time (for example, 0:00) It is. The reference time may be the transmission start time (distribution start time) of the moving image data. For example, time information synchronized with the time code of the moving image data is added to the game data as time information indicating the timing at which the parameter value relating to the game situation has changed. Thereby, on the browsing side, the value of the parameter relating to the game situation to be displayed superimposed on the play video can be updated at an appropriate timing. For example, in accordance with the update timing of parameters included in the play video on the distribution side, it is possible to update the parameters to be displayed superimposed on the play video on the viewing side. Note that the information added to the game data is not limited to information based on the time information of the moving image data (for example, time information synchronized with the time code), and may take the timing of the moving image data and the game data. Any information is possible as long as it is possible. For example, a game function executed by the game execution unit 111 may include a timer function, and time management of moving image data and game data may be performed using the timer. In that case, time information measured by the timer may be added to the moving image data and the game data.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a data example of game data transmitted in association with moving image data. In the illustrated game data, a terminal ID, a moving image ID, a time, a parameter ID, a value, a display position, a display size, and a display color are stored in association with each other. The terminal ID is identification information of the user terminal 10-1 that has distributed the game data. The moving image ID is identification information of moving image data associated with the game data. The time is time information when the parameter changes, and is synchronized with the time information of the moving image data. The parameter ID is identification information for identifying a parameter. Here, the parameter ID “001” indicates a score. The parameter ID “002” indicates the bomb level. The value is a parameter value of game data to be transmitted. Here, the score value is “2000” and the bomb level value is “4”. The display position is a display position (coordinates in the game screen on the viewing side) when displayed on the user terminal 10-2 on the viewing side, and the display size and color are the display of characters when displaying game data Aspect (for example, size, color, thickness, font type, background color, etc.).
The moving image ID may be given from the server device 30 when distributing moving image data.

  For example, the data transmission unit 114 associates and transmits the moving image data generated by the moving image data generation unit 113 and the game data based on a user operation on the moving image distribution icon B11. At the start of distribution of moving image data, the data transmission unit 114 first transmits initial values of all parameters included in the game data. Thereafter, when there is a change in game data (for example, parameter value), the data transmission unit 114 transmits game data regarding the changed parameter to the server device 30.

  Note that the data transmission unit 114 may transmit the game data to the server device 30 regularly (eg, at intervals of 1 second) regardless of changes in the parameter values.

  In addition, the type of game data (score, bomb level, etc.) transmitted in association with moving image data is basically preset in the game, and the data transmitting unit 114 is generated by the moving image data generating unit 113. The video data and game data set in advance in the game are transmitted in association with each other.

  Note that the type of game data to be transmitted may be configured to be selectable by the user. In that case, the data transmission unit 114 associates and transmits the moving image data generated by the moving image data generation unit 113 and the game data selected by the user. Thus, when the user can select the type of game data to be transmitted, it is possible to set data that the user wants to conceal, data that the user wants to show conversely, and the like according to needs.

[Functional configuration of server device]
Next, the functional configuration of the server device 30 will be described.
The server device 30 illustrated in FIG. 6 includes a processing unit 310 as a functional configuration realized by the CPU 31 executing the moving image distribution management program stored in the storage unit 35. The processing unit 310 includes a data reception unit 311 and a data transmission unit 312.

  The data receiving unit 311 receives data (moving image data and game data) transmitted from the user terminal 10-1 on the distribution side. The moving image data and game data received by the data receiving unit 311 are associated with the moving image ID, and are stored and managed in the storage unit 35 as moving image data and game situation history data. The game situation history data is obtained by accumulating game data transmitted from the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 (or other distribution-side user terminal 10). When the moving image data and the game situation history data are stored in the storage unit 35, a browsing request from another user terminal 10 becomes possible as the moving image content associated with the moving image ID.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a data example of the game situation history table stored in the storage unit 35 of the server device 30. In the illustrated game situation history table, terminal ID, video ID, time, parameter ID, value, display position, display size, and display color are associated, and the game data received by the data receiving unit 311 is the game situation. Accumulated as history data.

  When there is a browsing request from the browsing-side user terminal 10-2, the data transmission unit 312 transmits moving image data to the user terminal 10-2, and refers to the game situation history table to obtain necessary game data. It transmits to the user terminal 10-2. Specifically, the data transmission unit 312 refers to the game situation history table when transmitting data to the viewing-side user terminal 10-2, and transmits the latest game data for each parameter ID to the user terminal 10-2. To do. Thereafter, each time the data receiving unit 311 receives the game data from the distribution-side user terminal 10-1, the data transmitting unit 312 (that is, every time the value of any parameter of the game data is updated). The game data is transmitted to the user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side.

[Functional configuration of user terminal on viewing side]
Next, the functional configuration of the user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side will be described.
A user terminal 10-2 illustrated in FIG. 6 includes a processing unit 120 as a functional configuration realized by the CPU 11 executing a moving image browsing control program stored in the storage unit 15. The processing unit 120 includes a data acquisition unit 121 and a display control unit 122.

  The data acquisition unit 121 acquires the moving image data and game data transmitted from the user terminal 10-1 via the server device 30. Specifically, the data acquisition unit 121 transmits a play video browsing request to the server device 30, whereby the video data and game data associated with the video ID of the play video requested to be browsed are transmitted to the server device. 30 through the communication unit 12. Note that the browsing request includes the video ID of the play video to be browsed, the terminal ID of the user terminal 10-2 that has transmitted the browsing request, and the like.

  In addition, the data acquisition unit 121 adds or updates the acquired game data to the game situation management table stored in the storage unit 35. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of data in the game situation management table. In the illustrated game situation management table, terminal ID, moving picture ID, time, parameter ID, value, display position, display size, and display color are associated with each other. Is stored in the latest game data for each parameter ID, not history data.

  The display control unit 122 reproduces the moving image data acquired by the data acquisition unit 121 and causes the display unit 14 to display a play moving image based on the reproduced moving image data. In addition, the display control unit 122 displays information (display information) indicating parameters related to the game situation based on the game data acquired by the data acquisition unit 121 in a superimposed manner on the played play video (see FIG. 5). For example, when the display information based on the game data is displayed superimposed on the play video, the display control unit 122 sends the video data of the play video to a display memory (VRAM: Video RAM), and part of the video data is used as game data. The display information based on the game data may be overwritten, or the display information based on the game data may be directly written in the video data of the play video to change the video data itself. The display memory may be included in the storage unit 15 or may be provided in the user terminal 10 separately from the storage unit 15. Further, the display position, size, and display color of the parameters relating to the game situation are determined based on the game data for each parameter stored in the game situation management table. Further, the position where the information indicating the parameter is superimposed may be a position corresponding to the display position on the game screen (see FIG. 4) on which the parameter is displayed on the distribution-side user terminal 10-1.

  8 and 9, since the value of the parameter (bomb level) of the parameter ID “002” is “5” (upper limit value), the display color is set to “red” so that it can be easily recognized. ing. The display color when the bomb level is “1 to 4” is set to “white”. Such a condition for changing the display color or the like is set in advance in the game. For example, the game is set in the game process executed on the user terminal 10-1 on the distribution side and transmitted from the user terminal 10-1. Reflected in the data.

  Note that, in the user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side, the play image (for example, the game screen G20 shown in FIG. 5) is installed in a browsing function (for example, a game application) executed by a dedicated application program such as a moving image browsing control program. May be displayed using a browsing function) or may be displayed using a display function of a Web browser. When using a Web browser, the game data transmitted from the server device 30 is transmitted together with the moving image data in a language (HTML or the like) readable by the browser. In addition, in the case where browsing is possible on a relatively wide screen such as a PC instead of a smartphone or the like, the display control unit 122 does not superimpose the parameters relating to the game situation on the play video, and the display area of the play video is Different display areas may be provided and displayed in the display areas.

[Processing by the video distribution system]
Next, the operation of the moving image distribution process by the moving image distribution system 1 will be described. FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of the moving image distribution process according to the present embodiment.
The processing unit 110 of the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 starts a game (for example, puzzle game) process based on the user's operation (step S110).

  Next, when the moving image distribution icon B11 is turned ON by a user operation on the game screen G10 (see FIG. 4), the processing unit 110 displays the game image displayed on the game screen G10 in parallel with the game processing. Is captured, and moving image data of a play moving image based on the captured game image is generated (step S112).

  And the process part 110 transmits the produced | generated moving image data to the server apparatus 30 at any time, and transmits the game data of a game linked | related with this moving image data to the server apparatus 30 (step S114).

  The processing unit 300 of the server device 30 receives the data (moving image data and game data) transmitted from the user terminal 10-1, associates the received moving image data and game data with the moving image ID, and stores the moving image data and the game situation history. Stored as data (step S300).

  The processing unit 120 of the viewing-side user terminal 10-2 transmits a play video viewing request to the server device 30 (step S120).

  When receiving the browsing request transmitted from the browsing-side user terminal 10-2, the processing unit 300 of the server device 30 is associated with the video data to be browsed and the video data based on the received browsing request. The game data is transmitted to the user terminal 10-2 (step S302).

  The processing unit 120 of the user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side acquires the moving image data and game data to be browsed transmitted from the server device 30. Then, the processing unit 120 reproduces the acquired moving image data, displays the reproduced moving image (that is, the distributed play moving image) on the display unit 14, and information indicating parameters regarding the game situation based on the acquired game data ( Display information) is superimposed on the reproduced play video (see FIG. 5) (step S122).

[Summary of First Embodiment]
As described above, the moving image distribution system 1 according to this embodiment includes the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 (an example of a first terminal device) that transmits moving image data and the distribution-side user terminal 10-1. The user terminal 10-2 (an example of a 2nd terminal device) by the side of browsing which displays the moving image (for example, play moving image) based on the moving image data transmitted from is provided. The distribution-side user terminal 10-1 includes a game execution unit 111, a moving image data generation unit 113, and a data transmission unit 114. The game execution unit 111 executes game processing. The moving image data generation unit 113 generates moving image data in which a game image generated by the game execution unit 111 is recorded when a user plays a game. The data transmission unit 114 associates and transmits the moving image data generated by the moving image data generation unit 113 and the game data of the game acquired from the game execution unit 111. For example, the data transmission unit 114 associates moving image data and game data and transmits them to the server device 30.
In addition, the browsing-side user terminal 10-2 includes a data acquisition unit 121 and a display control unit 122. The data acquisition unit 121 acquires moving image data transmitted from the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 and game data associated with the moving image data. For example, the data acquisition unit 121 acquires the moving image data transmitted from the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 and the game data associated with the moving image data via the server device 30. The display control unit 122 displays a moving image based on the moving image data acquired by the data acquisition unit 121 on the display unit 14 and displays display information based on the game data acquired by the data acquisition unit 121 based on the moving image data.

  In this way, the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 transmits the video data based on the video data (for example, play video) in association with the game data, so that the browsing-side user terminal 10-2 browses the game data. At this time, game data can be superimposed and displayed on a moving image based on the moving image data (for example, a play moving image), and visibility during browsing in moving image distribution can be improved. Moreover, since the user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side can display the acquired game data superimposed on the play video when playing the play video acquired from the user terminal 10-1 on the distribution side, Visibility during browsing can be improved in distribution. Therefore, the moving image distribution system 1 can improve the visibility at the time of browsing in moving image distribution.

For example, the above-described game data is a parameter based on the execution result of the game execution unit 111. As an example, this parameter is a parameter updated by the game execution unit 111 while the moving image data generation unit 113 is generating moving image data (for example, parameters relating to the game situation (score, bomb level, etc.)).
Thereby, in the video distribution system 1, information such as parameters relating to the game situation of the game executed on the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 is transferred from the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 to the browsing-side user terminal 10-2. Therefore, the user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side can display information such as parameters relating to the acquired game situation in the play video so that the user terminal 10-2 on the viewing side can easily recognize the play video. Therefore, when viewing the play video distributed as a video, the visibility of parameters relating to the game status displayed on the play video is improved, and the game status is easily recognized.

  The parameters are, for example, parameters updated by the game executing unit 111 while the moving image data generating unit 113 is generating moving image data (for example, parameters relating to the game situation (score, bomb level, etc.)). Thereby, in the moving image distribution system 1, the browsing-side user terminal 10-2 can easily display the parameters updated as needed in the play moving image of the game distributed in real time in the play moving image. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately grasp the changing game situation on the browsing side.

  In addition, the parameter regarding the above-mentioned game situation is not limited to a score or a bomb level. For example, the parameter relating to the game situation may be a parameter that changes as needed based on the progress of the game, such as the game play time (remaining time). Further, the above-described game data may be information necessary for playing the game (description of a playing method, explanation of characters and items, etc.).

  Further, the game data described above may be data relating to a user associated with the user terminal 10-1 on the distribution side. The user associated with the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 is, for example, a user who plays a game on the distribution-side user terminal 10-1. Moreover, the data regarding a user is the data set for every user, for example, a user's (player) name, a profile, etc. The profile includes the level of the user in the game, the name of the character used, the number of friends, the progress of the game (such as stage), and the like. Further, when the game is a game in which a deck using a plurality of characters or the like is organized to play against an enemy, the deck configuration is also included as data relating to the user. Thereby, in the video distribution system 1, the user terminal 10-1 on the distribution side transmits data relating to the user (user name, etc.) in association with the video data, so that the user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side can play the play video. When browsing, it is possible to appropriately grasp what kind of user is playing.

  Thus, since the above-mentioned game data is complemented and displayed on the user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side in order to improve the visibility of the display information displayed on the play video, the video data generation unit 113 is displayed. Any game data may be used as long as the game data is displayed on the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 during the generation of the video data by the user, and part of the game data displayed on the user terminal 10 But it can be all. Thereby, in the video distribution system 1, when browsing the play video on the browsing-side user terminal 10-2, the game status that can be grasped on the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 is also displayed on the browsing-side user terminal 10-2. It becomes easy to grasp.

  The game data is data that is not displayed on the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 during the generation of the moving image data by the moving image data generation unit 113, and is displayed only on the viewing-side user terminal 10-2. Also good. For example, in a puzzle game that progresses by setting the enemy's physical strength to zero, even if the enemy's physical strength is not displayed on the user terminal 10-1 on the distribution side, the user terminal 10-2 on the viewing side The physical strength may be displayed on the screen. When the game is a quiz game, the correct answer may be displayed only on the viewing-side user terminal 10-2 during the answer. In addition, even if information relating to a strategy in an action game or the like (for example, “There is a hidden door” or “Proceed if you use an item”) is displayed only on the user terminal 10-2 on the viewing side. Good. Thereby, it is possible to provide the user who browses the game play video with various ways of enjoying the game and how to participate in various forms of the game.

  In addition, game data (for example, information about the game situation (score and bomb level) may be character string data, image data, etc. For example, if the display information indicating the bomb level is an icon image, the image of the icon image The data may be transmitted from the user terminal 10-1 on the distribution side to the user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side, so that the icon image may be displayed on the user terminal 10 on the browsing side.

  In the distribution-side user terminal 10-1, the data transmission unit 114 associates and transmits the moving image data generated by the moving image data generation unit 113 and the game data set in advance in the game. As described above, the game data transmitted together with the moving image data of the play moving image when the play moving image is distributed is set in advance in the game. Thereby, for example, it is possible to improve the visibility of game data important at the time of browsing intended by a game producer.

  The data transmitting unit 114 may transmit the moving image data generated by the moving image data generating unit 113 in association with the game data selected by the user. As described above, when the user can select the type of game data transmitted together with the video data of the play video when the play video is distributed, the user who plays the game on the distribution side dares to hide it from the viewer You can set the data you want or the data you want to show in reverse.

  Further, the data transmission unit 114 associates and transmits the moving image data generated by the moving image data generation unit 113 and the game data based on a user operation. For example, the user operation is an operation on the moving image distribution icon B11 illustrated in FIG. Thereby, the user can distribute a play video at an arbitrary timing based on his / her intention.

Note that the timing of delivery and stop of the play video may be a predetermined timing in the game. For example, in the case of a puzzle game, the distribution of the play video may be performed only while the puzzle game is being played. In that case, at a timing other than during the play of the puzzle game such as a selection screen for selecting a stage to be played in the game, even if the video distribution icon B11 is turned ON (distribution state), the distribution does not start immediately and the play Distribution may be started in response to the start icon being operated to start playing the puzzle game. In addition, when the puzzle game is finished playing, distribution automatically stops. In other words, the play video may be distributed when the game is a portion (game part) that is determined in advance to be able to distribute the play video in the game and the video distribution icon B11 is ON. That is,
The data transmitting unit 114 may transmit the moving image data generated by the moving image data generating unit 113 and the game data in association with each other based on the timing set in advance in the game and the user's operation. Thereby, since the user automatically starts distribution when the play is started by setting the play video to be distributed in advance, there is no need to operate each time when performing regular distribution, It also prevents failures such as forgetting the operation and not being delivered.

  In addition, the data transmission unit 114 transmits game data to which time information (for example, a time code) based on the time information of the moving image data generated by the moving image data generation unit 113 is added. Thereby, the browsing-side user terminal 10-2 can update the game data to be displayed superimposed on the play video at an appropriate timing. For example, it is possible to update parameters to be displayed superimposed on the play video on the viewing side in accordance with the update timing of the parameters included in the play video on the distribution side.

  In the present embodiment, the process of adding the time information to the game data has been described as being performed by the distribution-side user terminal 10-1, but the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 adds the time information to the game data. Instead, time information may be added to the game data received by the server device 30. In addition, since time may be shifted due to a time lag or the like due to video compression processing or communication processing at the time of distribution, the time information is added to the game data by the user terminal 10-1 on the distribution side rather than the server device 30. Is preferred. Moreover, in this embodiment, since it is real-time delivery, it is not necessary to add time information to game data.

  In the user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side, the display control unit 122 causes display information based on the game data to be superimposed and displayed at a predetermined position in the image area of the play video based on the video data. Thereby, the user terminal 10-2 by the side of browsing can display game data in a suitable position in a play animation, and can improve the visibility of the play animation at the time of browsing.

  For example, in the predetermined position, display information based on game data is displayed in the image area of the game image displayed on the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 (for example, in the screen area of the game screen G10 shown in FIG. 4). It is a position corresponding to the position to be performed. Thereby, the user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side can set the position where the game data is displayed in the play video at the time of browsing as the position displayed on the distribution side, thereby improving the visibility of the play video at the time of browsing. Can be made.

  Note that the game data includes information indicating a display mode (for example, size, color, thickness, font type, background color, etc.). In the user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side, the display control unit 122 displays display information based on the game data according to a display mode included in the game data. Thereby, the user terminal 10-2 by the side of browsing can display the game data displayed in the play animation at the time of browsing by a suitable magnitude | size and a display color so that visibility may be good.

  In addition, the server device 30 includes a data receiving unit 311 that receives data transmitted from the user terminal 10-1 on the distribution side, and a data transmission unit 312 that transmits data to the user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side. Yes. Thus, the server device 30 transmits the moving image data and game data transmitted from the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 to the browsing-side user terminal 10-2, so that the browsing-side user terminal 10-2 can When playing a play video based on the video data, the game data can be displayed superimposed on the play video, so that the visibility during browsing can be improved in video distribution.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which real-time distribution from the distribution side to the browsing side is described as an example. However, the configuration is not limited to real-time distribution, and can be applied to distribution other than real-time distribution. Real-time distribution means (1) game play, (2) transmission of data from the user terminal 10-1 on the distribution side to the server device 30, and (3) user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side from the server device 30. (4) Distribution of performing (1) to (4) processes in parallel in (4) Playing a play video on the viewing-side user terminal 10-2.

  On the other hand, for distributions other than real-time distribution, distributions with different processing timings (1) and (2), for example, moving image data is once generated at the user terminal 10-1 on the distribution side, and server device 30 at another time. There is a configuration in which distribution is performed by uploading to (so-called configuration in which a video uploaded to a video site can be viewed). In addition to the delivery other than the real-time delivery, delivery at different processing timings (2) and (3), for example, a video that has already been uploaded to the server device 30 is later viewed on the user terminal 10- 2 may be viewed (so-called a configuration in which a video uploaded to a video site can be browsed, or a configuration in which a live broadcast video is time-shifted). In addition to the delivery other than the real-time delivery, the delivery at different processing timings (3) and (4), for example, the reproduction (stream reproduction) while receiving from the server device 30 is performed, and the data is temporarily stored on the browsing side. There exists a structure which reproduces | regenerates after downloading with the user terminal 10-2.

  In the case of non-real-time distribution, distribution and browsing are executed at different times. Therefore, the distribution-side user terminal 10-1 does not have to transmit moving image data and game data at any time. May be uploaded together to the server device 30.

  Further, when the distribution is not in real time, the server device 30 transmits the video data to the user terminal 10-2 on the browsing side, while the game data is transmitted to the user on the browsing side at the time indicated in the time. What is necessary is just to transmit to the terminal 10-2.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the first embodiment, the configuration example in which the server device 30 relays the distribution of moving image data has been described. However, the moving image data may be distributed between terminals without using the server device 30. For example, if the number of viewers is small and the processing capability of the distribution-side terminal can withstand the load of moving image data distribution processing, the distribution-side terminal and the browsing-side terminal communicate with each other using the peer-to-peer (P2P) method. You may go.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the moving image distribution system 1A according to the present embodiment. The video distribution system 1A includes a distribution-side user terminal 10A (10A-1) and a browsing-side user terminal 10A (10A-2), and the distribution-side and browsing-side user terminal 10A-2 communicate directly. The point which performs is different from the structure of the moving image delivery system 1 which concerns on 1st Embodiment shown in FIG.1 and FIG.6. Note that the basic hardware configuration of the user terminal 10A is the same as the hardware configuration of the user terminal 10 shown in FIG.

  The distribution-side user terminal 10A-1 includes a processing unit 110A. The processing unit 110A includes a game execution unit 111, a display control unit 112, a moving image data generation unit 113, and a data transmission unit 114A. The data transmission unit 114A directly transmits data to the viewing-side user terminal 10A-2. Is the same functional configuration as the processing unit 110 of the first embodiment.

  In addition, the viewing-side user terminal 10A-2 includes a processing unit 120A. The processing unit 120A includes a data acquisition unit 121A and a display control unit 122, except that the data acquisition unit 121A directly acquires data from the distribution-side user terminal 10A-1. The functional configuration is the same as that of the processing unit 120.

FIG. 12 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of the moving image distribution process according to the present embodiment.
The processing unit 110A of the distribution-side user terminal 10A-1 starts a game (for example, puzzle game) process based on a user operation (step S1110).

  Next, when the moving image distribution icon B11 is turned ON by a user operation on the game screen G10 (see FIG. 4), the processing unit 110A displays the game image displayed on the game screen G10 in parallel with the game processing. Is captured, and moving image data of a play moving image is generated based on the captured game image (step S1112). The processing unit 110A starts generating moving image data, but maintains a distribution preparation state in which distribution of moving image data does not start until a browsing request is received from the viewing-side user terminal 10A-2.

  The processing unit 120A of the viewing-side user terminal 10A-2 transmits a play video viewing request to the distribution-side user terminal 10A-1 (step S1120).

  When the processing unit 110A of the distribution-side user terminal 10A-1 receives the browsing request transmitted from the browsing-side user terminal 10A-2, the processing unit 110A transmits the generated moving image data to the user terminal 10A-2 based on the received browsing request. The game data of the game is transmitted to the user terminal 10A-2 in association with the moving image data (step S1114).

  The processing unit 120A of the viewing-side user terminal 10A-2 acquires the moving image data and game data transmitted from the distribution-side user terminal 10A-1. Then, the processing unit 120A reproduces the acquired moving image data, displays the reproduced play moving image on the display unit 14, and reproduces information (display information) indicating parameters related to the game situation based on the acquired game data. The video is superimposed and displayed (see FIG. 5) (step S1122).

  As described above, the moving image distribution system 1A according to the present embodiment transmits from the distribution-side user terminal 10A-1 (an example of the first terminal device) that transmits the moving image data and the distribution-side user terminal 10A. A viewing-side user terminal 10 </ b> A- 2 (an example of a second terminal device) that displays a moving image based on the moving image data. The distribution-side user terminal 10A-1 includes a game execution unit 111, a moving image data generation unit 113, and a data transmission unit 114A. On the other hand, the viewing-side user terminal 10A-2 includes a data acquisition unit 121A and a display control unit 122. For example, the data transmission unit 114A of the distribution-side user terminal 10A-1 associates the moving image data and the game data and directly transmits them to the browsing-side user terminal 10A-2. Further, the data acquisition unit 121A of the viewing-side user terminal 10A-2 directly acquires the moving image data and game data transmitted from the distribution-side user terminal 10A-1 from the distribution-side user terminal 10A-1. .

  Thereby, since the user terminal 10A-2 on the browsing side reproduces the acquired play video, the acquired game data can be superimposed and displayed on the play video, as in the first embodiment. Visibility during browsing can be improved in video distribution.

[Modification]
The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and includes a design and the like within a scope not departing from the gist of the present invention.

  In the above embodiment, the puzzle game has been described as an example, but the game type may be any type of game such as a music game, a card game, a slot game, or an RPG (Role Playing Game) game. That is, the game execution unit 111 is not limited to the puzzle game process as the game process, and may execute various game processes as described above. Specifically, the game execution unit 111 may execute, for example, a process of organizing a deck, a process of naming a character, and the like according to the contents of various games.

  Further, a program for realizing the functions of the processing units 110, 110A, 120, 120A, and 310 is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on the recording medium is read into a computer system. The processing as each of the processing units 110, 110A, 120, 120A, and 310 may be performed by executing them. Here, “loading and executing a program recorded on a recording medium into a computer system” includes installing the program in the computer system. The “computer system” here includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices. Further, the “computer system” may include a plurality of computer devices connected via a network including a communication line such as the Internet, WAN, LAN, and dedicated line. The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a storage device such as a flexible medium, a magneto-optical disk, a portable medium such as a ROM and a CD-ROM, and a hard disk incorporated in a computer system. As described above, the recording medium storing the program may be a non-transitory recording medium such as a CD-ROM. The recording medium also includes a recording medium provided inside or outside that is accessible from the distribution server in order to distribute the program. The code of the program stored in the recording medium of the distribution server may be different from the code of the program that can be executed by the terminal device.
