  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(Outline of the present invention)
FIG. 1 shows an apparatus for watching sports matches according to the present invention. The game watching device 100 provides information (hereinafter “game information”) regarding sports games to the terminals 110A, 110B, and 110C used by each user. The user terminal 110A is assumed to be a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet, not a television set or the like provided at a predetermined position which is currently the main watching means. By providing game information for mobile terminals, the user can touch or participate in live enthusiasm anytime and anywhere.

  The apparatus 100 includes a communication unit 101 such as a communication interface, a processing unit 102 such as a processor and a CPU, and a storage unit 103 such as a storage device such as a memory and a hard disk, or a storage medium. By executing the above, each function described below can be realized. The apparatus 100 may include one or a plurality of apparatuses or servers, and the program may include one or a plurality of programs, or recorded in a computer-readable storage medium and a non-transitory program Can be a product.

  FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of a user operation in one embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3 to 5 show examples of display screens of corresponding user terminals. Reference to an individual user terminal will be described below using the user terminal 110A as an example. In addition, each user terminal includes a communication unit, a processing unit, and a storage unit similarly to the game watching device 100, and implements each function described below by executing one or a plurality of programs. Can do.

  First, the user of the user terminal 110A installs an application (hereinafter referred to as “application”) for transmitting and receiving information to and from the communication unit 101 of the apparatus 100 (S201). The application may be installed in advance on the user terminal 110A.

  Next, the user activates the application, registers if the user does not have an account, and logs in if registered (S202). As shown in FIG. 3, the log-in can be performed by an SNS account such as Facebook (registered trademark) or Twitter (registered trademark). When logged in using an SNS account, in the device 100 or the user terminal 110A, the presence of other users such as friends connected to the user on the SNS, the login status of those users, and the game watching status It is possible to utilize friend information such as.

  Next, after selecting a game to watch (S203), the user selects a team to be cheered as shown in FIG. 4 (S204). When the team is selected, it is possible to proceed to the watching game as shown in FIG.

  In one aspect of the present invention, as will be described in more detail below, users who are watching a match are distinguished by their selected teams, and the reactions of users who support each team are expressed non-verbal. As a result, each user can instantly share their reactions with other users, and as a result, they can enjoy enthusiasm such as cheers and angers that actually occur in the stadium.

(Emotion icon details)
In one aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6, the game is displayed in the first area 601 of the display screen 600 of the user terminal 110 </ b> A, and the second area below the first area 601. An exchange such as a chat by one or a plurality of users who have selected the game is displayed in 602, and the emotion of the user is displayed non-verbal by an icon in an overlap area 603 at least partially overlapping the first area 601. Here, in this specification, “icon” is used as a term that broadly means symbols used instead of characters on the screen.

  As an example, the overlap area 603 can be disposed so as to overlap at least partly with the first area 601 below the first area 601. If such an arrangement is adopted, a user who sees the display screen of the user terminal 110A can obtain an experience that is similar to that of cheering, angry, etc. flying between himself and the ground in an actual stadium as shown in FIG. become. Such an arrangement of the overlap area 603 has a great effect on sharing the feelings of people gathering in the stadium with mobile.

  In FIG. 6, the display screen is arranged vertically, but when arranged horizontally, game information such as video is displayed in the first area 801 as schematically illustrated in FIG. The icon may be displayed in an overlapping area 803 that overlaps it, and the overlapping area 803 may entirely overlap the first area. As an example, a second area 802 for language communication or text communication is arranged on the right side of the first area 801, and an icon list 804 and a text input field 805 are displayed below the second area 802. The second area 802 may be arranged so as to overlap the first area 801 with the background transparent, and the presence or absence of display can be switched as necessary.

  In FIG. 6, the overlap area 603 may at least partially overlap with a second area 602 for language communication such as chat or text communication. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that the second area 602 is arranged above or laterally rather than below the first area 601.

  In the first area 601, an icon representing the team selected by the user of the user terminal 110A is shown on one of the right and left sides of the display screen, and an icon representing the opponent team is shown on the other side on the right and left sides of the display screen. The team name, its abbreviation, etc. are shown together if necessary. For example, it is possible to show the team whose home is the stadium of the game on the left side and the other team on the right side. In the case of baseball, a spectator who supports the team with the stadium as the home sits on the first base, and a spectator who supports the other team sits on the third base, indicating the home team on the right and the away team on the left It is possible. It is also conceivable that the icon representing the team selected by the user is on the left side and the icon of the other team is on the right side.

  In the overlap area 603, an icon representing the emotion of the user of the user terminal 110A, and an icon representing the emotion of another user who has selected the team selected by the user are displayed from the left side to the right side or from the right side to the left side. An icon representing the emotion of the selected user is displayed so as to flow from the right side to the left side or from the left side to the right side.

  Each user can display a plurality of selectable icons representing the user's reaction by sliding, swiping, etc. the icon list 604 displayed on the terminal used by each user from right to left. Examples of the plurality of selectable icons include icons that directly correspond to emotions of emotions, icons representing teams, players, etc., and icons representing game types such as soccer balls. In order for users to express their feelings at the moment of enthusiasm and share them with other users, fans, etc., it is unavoidable that text takes time to input and convert, and this time is increased by using icons. It can be shortened. For example, when it is desired to tell “Nice shoot !!” or “What are you doing?”, It takes a long time to input in the text input field 605, and there is a possibility that the scene has changed. The icon eliminates this delay by sensory operability and frees the user from the hassle of inputting text. In this specification, an icon representing the emotion of the user may be referred to as an “emotion icon”.

  The user can select the displayed icon as it is by tapping without sliding or swiping. For this reason, a frequently selected icon may be preferentially arranged on the left side of the icon list. Although slide directions other than right to left are also conceivable, especially in smartphones, right to left is easy for the user to operate, and the time until selection of an icon list that is not displayed before the slide is shortened. As an example, a plurality of icons included in the icon list may be displayed as a list by tapping a part of the icon list instead of a slide or swipe. In order to shorten the decision time of icon selection by the user, selectable icons may be displayed in a range that can be displayed at a maximum. For example, the number may be a predetermined number such as six that fits within the width of the display screen of the smartphone.

  Each user can express the emotion more strongly by repeatedly hitting the selected icon. The overlap area 603 may be displayed by directly reflecting the number of times each icon has been pressed by all users, but if there are thousands or tens of thousands of people watching the overlap area 603, Since the icons are filled with icons, the number of icons to be displayed is determined by setting one or more upper limits of the total number of icons that can be displayed simultaneously or per unit time as necessary. You may make it not display, and you may make it determine the number of displays as a ratio with respect to an upper limit according to the frequency | count that each icon was pressed so that it might be settled in an upper limit.

  For example, the apparatus 100 receives information (hereinafter referred to as “reaction information”) for nonverbally indicating each user's reaction to the game from each terminal and processes the information. Then, the display number of icons in the overlap area 603 may be determined based on the processing result. It may be possible to determine the number of icons that can be displayed at the same time or per unit time at each time, to determine the number of icons that can be newly displayed at each time, or to determine these for each team. The device 100 does not process the response information such as the number of taps received from each terminal to determine the number of icons to be displayed on each terminal, but instead determines the number of times each terminal is included or not included in each terminal. You may transmit to a terminal and you may determine the display number of an icon in each terminal. As an example, it is possible to provide a predetermined reference that can be changed in or out of the device 100 so that five images can be newly displayed in 0.05 seconds.

  In order to process the reaction information from each terminal for each team, in addition to the selected icon or its identifier, the team selected by the user of the terminal or its identifier is included in the reaction information from each terminal. Good. Alternatively, the team selected by the user of the terminal before watching the game is received in the apparatus 100 in advance and stored for each user. In addition to the selected icon or its identifier, the reaction information includes the user of the terminal or the user An identifier may be included.

  In this way, each terminal 110A receives, as part of the game information or in addition to the game information, information about the icon displayed on the display screen of each terminal (hereinafter “icon information”) based on the reaction information from each terminal. To do. Specifically, for example, the identifiers of icons newly displayed for each team at each time and the number thereof can be used as icon information.

  When the icon information and the number of icons to be newly displayed at each time are used as icon information, the icon information can include the trajectory of each icon selected from predefined trajectories. In addition to making this selection in the device 100 and receiving it as part of the icon information at the user terminal 110A, it is also conceivable to use or select a predefined trajectory within the app installed on the user terminal 110A. . Depending on the type of icon, the trajectory can be different to reflect the emotion represented by the icon.

  In any case, it is desirable for each user to be able to continuously hit, long press, etc. in order to express emotions. For example, the selected icon can be continuously displayed without being hidden, Thereby, a supporter's competitive spirit can be stimulated. When the display screen has a pressure sensor, the pressure at which the user presses the icon may be converted into the number of consecutive hits. About long press, what is necessary is just to convert into the number of continuous hits according to press time.

  On the other hand, although it is possible to hit repeatedly, the enthusiasm such as real cheers and anger is not unlimited and breathing is necessary. Therefore, if repeated hits are made, the display size of the icons in the icon list 604 can be reduced in stages, and this can be expressed visually. Furthermore, shortness of breath can be expressed by temporarily stopping the display on the display screen of the icon that has been hit repeatedly when the predetermined value is exceeded. Here, the number of consecutive hits means the number of selections or taps per unit time of a certain icon. It is preferable to reduce the size of the icon for each tap, to make it smaller when tapped before a predetermined time passes, and to return to the original size after a predetermined time without tapping.

  The display expression including the type and number of icons displayed on each terminal can be the same among users who have selected the same team, but can also be individually adjusted. As an example, the icon selected by the user of the user terminal 110 </ b> A may be preferably displayed in real time regardless of the icon information received from the device 100. This is because if the user's reaction is not expressed in real time, it may be difficult for the user to feel the response sharing the enthusiasm. In addition to displaying an icon on the user terminal 110A in real time or as an alternative, it is also possible to vibrate the user terminal 110A to give a tactile response. In addition to selecting a game to watch, a selection of seats is also possible, and weighting that highly evaluates the reactions of other users who have selected seats around their own seats may be performed. Moreover, you may weight a reaction of another user according to friend information.

  In addition, although demonstrated as what displays a video in the 1st area 601, game information other than a live video, such as a summary of a game, is displayed, and a live video is watched in another terminal as needed, and it is over. It is also envisaged as an aspect of the present invention to provide users with non-verbal communication between users via the wrap area 603, or in addition, language communication between users via the second area 602.

  Further, instead of converting the pressure, the pressing time, etc. into the number of consecutive hits, the size, speed, angle, etc. of the displayed icon can be determined accordingly.

  Also, add a color associated with each team to the tail or trail of the flowing icon so that the greater the cheer of one team, the more the overlap area 603 will be stained with that team's color. Can do. It is also possible to give a response to sharing enthusiasm by coloring only the icon selected by the user himself without coloring the icon by other users who have selected the team.

  In addition, the size of the overlap area 603 can be changed according to reaction information such as the number of taps or the number of times the icon is tapped. For example, the height of the icon display area can be increased as the cheer or user's voice increases.

  In addition, the icons of each team may collide in the overlap area 603. Thereby, the competitive spirit between teams can be expressed. After the collision, for example, each icon can be reduced in size and erased, or the color can be erased in a variety of ways.

  In addition, each icon described above can be stored in the user terminal 110A as a part of the application or together with the application when the application is installed in the user terminal 110A. It can be added. For example, you may make it receive from the apparatus 100 according to having selected the said game, when the icon showing the team which is a party of a game is not memorize | stored in 110 A of user terminals.

  In this specification, unless there is a description of “only” such as “based only on XX”, “according to XX only”, and “only XX”, Note that it is envisaged that other information may also be considered.

(Details of icon display control)
FIG. 9 illustrates collision control of icons of each team in one embodiment of the present invention. When the amount of reaction of the user who selected each team increases, a collision will occur between both icons. When the amount of cheering between teams, that is, the relative difference in reaction information is small, the collision occurs in the first region 901 near the center in the width direction of the overlap area 603, and the relative difference exceeds a certain size Collide in the second area 902 near the left end or the right end to which the team with the smaller cheer is associated.

  For example, the overlap area 603 is divided from the center toward the left end by a 1/4 position and a 1/2 position, and the same applies to the right end from the center. And when the relative difference of the user's response is less than or equal to the threshold, the team collides with the range 901 of the width from the center to the 1/4 position, and there are more responses of the team selected by the user of the user terminal 110, If the relative difference or its absolute value is greater than or equal to the threshold value, the team associated with the left side selected by the user by colliding in the range 902 from the center to the position ½ is dominant. Can be shown visually. When the team selected by the user is less responsive, the teams may collide with each other in a range from 1/4 position to 1/2 position from the center. The example of FIG. 9 is an example, and it will be noted that the control of other collision positions or collision ranges is not excluded. Further, the icon display control described here can be considered both when the user terminal 110A performs a required calculation and when it is performed by the apparatus 100.

(Utilization of reaction history)
According to some aspects of the present invention described above, the excitement and excitement of the game that is happening “now” can be delivered more closely, but some people miss it. For such a person, in one aspect of the present invention, it is a condition that the amount of the user's reaction exceeds a certain amount during the game, or the rate of change of the amount of the reaction exceeds a certain value. In addition, a notification such as a push notification is sent to a user terminal that has installed a predetermined application. The condition can be set to a level at which the occurrence of enthusiasm is estimated in advance.

  The user of the user terminal that has received the notification knows that the game is exciting by launching the app and can start watching the game without missing it, as well as replay videos of missed highlights, etc. Can be transmitted to the apparatus 100 to quickly recover the delay that has been missed and share the enthusiasm of the game with other spectators. Even after the match is over, it is possible to pick up and view a scene with a large user response from the response history.

  The gauge 1010 in FIG. 10 represents the cumulative amount of reaction of users who support each team as a relative ratio. In the example of FIG. 10, the absolute number of reaction amounts of each team is shown on the left and right of the gauge 1010. In this way, in addition to expressing the magnitude of the cheer at the moment on the watching screen with icons, it is also possible to use the total value to visually indicate the enthusiasm of the entire game.

  Utilization of the reaction history after the game includes displaying the amount of reaction in the previous game or the previous game on the back screen of the stadium, a display device such as a television, etc. at the next game.
