First, the outline of the information processing system of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The information processing system according to the embodiment of the present invention is an information processing system that distributes a moving image including an animation of a character object generated based on a movement of a distribution user, and includes one or a plurality of computer processors.

<System configuration>
As shown as an example in FIG. 1, the information processing system 100 is arranged in one or more viewing user terminals 200, a moving image distribution studio or the like connected to these viewing user terminals 200 via a network 300. An information processing device (support computer) 400 can be included.

Further, the information processing device 400 may be connected to the server device 500 (not shown) via the Internet, and a part of the processing to be performed by the information processing device 400 described later may be performed by the server device 500. ..

In the present specification, the distribution by the information processing system 100 is referred to as studio distribution.

In studio distribution, the movement of the entire body of the distribution user (actor) shall be captured by the camera installed in the studio with the marker attached to the distribution user, and reflected in the character in real time using known motion capture technology. ..

Further, the information processing system 100 of the present invention can cooperate with another information processing system 10 shown as an example in FIG. The information processing system 10 shown in FIG. 2 is a distribution user terminal 20, one or more viewing user terminals 30, and an information processing device (server) connected to the distribution user terminals 20 and the viewing user terminals 30 via a network 40. Device) 50 can be included.

In the above example, the distribution user terminal 20 can be an information processing terminal such as a smartphone. In the present specification, the distribution by the information processing system 10 is referred to as mobile distribution.

In mobile distribution, the movement of the distribution user's face is captured by a camera provided in the distribution user's information processing terminal and reflected on the character's face in real time using a known face tracking technology.

The moving images generated by the information processing system 100 and the information processing system 10 can be distributed to viewing users from one moving image distribution platform as an example.

Here, as an example, it is assumed that a general distribution user is only permitted to perform mobile distribution by the information processing system 10 on the video distribution platform. As shown in FIG. 3, in mobile distribution, only the upper body of the character of the distribution user is displayed, and the lower body is not displayed. Therefore, the required 3D data of the character is only the upper body data.

The upper body here means that at least the legs are not included, and as shown in FIG. 3, the waist and hips may be included.

On the other hand, it is assumed that the official distribution user is permitted to perform studio distribution by the information processing system 100 on the video distribution platform. The official distribution user referred to here means an actor of a character who appears in an official program defined by the operator of the video distribution platform.

As shown in FIG. 4, the whole body of the character of the distribution user is displayed in the studio distribution. Therefore, the required 3D data of the character is whole body data.

In the present embodiment, mobile distribution and studio distribution are realized on a common video distribution platform, and cooperation between these distributions will be described. However, the present invention relates to cooperation between distributions on different video distribution platforms. Is also applicable. In such a case, the distribution format of the moving image (for example, mobile distribution or studio distribution) is not limited in any way.

Here, in the above-mentioned video distribution platform, a general distribution user may perform studio distribution.

As an example, the operator of the video distribution platform can hold an "official program debut event" for general distribution users. Although the description of the content of the event is omitted, for example, the gift received from the viewing user can be converted into an event score to compete for the ranking. Then, the characters of the top three general distribution users who won the "official program debut event" shall acquire the right to appear in the official program (that is, the right to perform studio distribution). The number of distribution users who acquire this right is not limited to three.

In the information processing system 100 of the present embodiment, the event results of the distribution user are held as data, and the higher-ranking person is flagged. Then, it is assumed that the 3D data (second avatar information described later) of the whole body of the flagged superior character, which is necessary for appearing in the official program, is generated.

Generally, a general distribution user does not prepare 3D data of the whole body of a character for studio distribution. A general distribution user can freely combine pre-prepared character parts (body shape, skin color, hairstyle, etc.) and wearing items (clothes, accessories, etc.) to generate 3D data of the upper body of his or her original character, and generate this. This is because mobile distribution is performed by using it, and it is not realistic to prepare 3D data of the whole body of such a wide variety of original characters in advance because a huge amount of work is required.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the one or more computer processors in the present invention include an acquisition unit 410, a specific unit 420, and a generation unit 430.

The acquisition unit 410 acquires the first avatar information.

The first avatar information includes the first part information regarding the first part of the character, and as an example, it is 3D data of the contents required for mobile distribution.

The character shall be composed of a plurality of parts. The character may be composed of two parts, an upper body and a lower body, or may be composed of finer parts such as a head, a neck, a chest, a shoulder, an arm, a torso, and a leg. ..

The first site is at least one of the above sites. Further, the first part information shall include gender information, color information and / or size information of the first part. Further, the first site information may include information on the wearing object associated with the first site. The wearing object associated with the first site can be an item such as clothes, accessories and / or accessories.

The specific unit 420 identifies the second part information based on the first part information acquired by the acquisition unit 410. As an example, the second part information including the same gender information, color information and / or size information is specified based on the gender information, color information and / or size information included in the first part information. A variation of the second method for specifying the site information will be described later.

The second part information relates to the second part of the character that is not included in the first avatar information. Further, the second part information shall include gender information, color information and / or size information of the second part. Although the details will be described later, the second part information may include the information of the wearing object associated with the second part. The wearing object associated with the second part can be an item such as clothes, accessories and / or accessories.

As an example, if the first part is the upper body, the second part is the lower body.

Then, the generation unit 430 generates the second avatar information based on the first part information acquired by the acquisition unit 410 and the second part information specified by the specific unit 420.

As an example, the second avatar information is the 3D data of the whole body of the character generated based on the first part information which is the information about the upper body and the second part information about the lower body. And, as an example, the 3D data of the whole body is the 3D data of the contents required for studio distribution.

According to the above configuration, the second avatar information can be automatically generated from the first avatar information. As a result, it is possible to smoothly cooperate between systems that require different data contents in video distribution.

For example, in an event as described above, since the 3D data of the entire body of the character for studio distribution can be easily generated from the 3D data of the upper body of the character for mobile distribution for general distribution users, the distribution user and / Or the work load of the operator can be reduced.

Further, as described above, the first avatar information generates at least an avatar in which the face operates based on the motion information of the face of the actor acquired by the facial capture function provided in the predetermined information processing terminal. It can be information for.

Similarly, the second avatar information may be information for generating an avatar in which the whole body operates based on the motion information of the whole body of the actor acquired by the motion capture function provided in the predetermined information processing device. it can.

In addition, the acquisition unit 410 acquires the first avatar information including the first site information associated with one or more attached object information.

As shown in FIG. 6, the character displayed by the first avatar information is usually displayed in a state of wearing clothes rather than naked. Since the first avatar information includes the wearing object information associated with the first part information, when the first part is the upper body, at least the tops information is included.

In addition, the first avatar information can be used as wearing object information for tops such as T-shirts, jackets, headwear, hats, glasses, earrings, or bracelets, watches, and fingers worn on the arms. It may include a ring to be worn.

Then, the specific unit 420 can specify the second part information including the one or more wearing object information associated with the second part based on the one or more wearing object information.

As shown in FIG. 7, the character displayed by the second avatar information is usually displayed in a state of wearing clothes rather than naked. Therefore, it is important to coordinate the wearing objects of the upper and lower body.

As an example, the coordination information associated with a certain top and the paired bottoms is stored, and using this information, the second part is based on the information of one or more attached objects associated with the first part. It is possible to determine one or more wearing object information associated with.

That is, the coordination information is managed in association with the wearing object and other wearing objects that can be coordinated with the wearing object. In addition, this correspondence may be a one-to-one relationship, a one-to-many relationship, or a plurality-to-many relationship.

When the correspondence is one-to-one, the specific unit 420 can specify the second part information that is paired with the first part information acquired by the acquisition unit 410.

This is an effective identification method for dresses, yukatas, swimwear, salopette clothes, and uniforms and suits in which tops and bottoms are set up and down, where tops and bottoms are not separated.

Further, when the correspondence is one-to-many or multiple-to-many, the specific unit 420 can specify the second part information associated with the first part information acquired by the acquisition unit 410.

For example, tops A are associated with bottoms a, bottoms b, bottoms c, and bottoms d. At this time, coordination points with the tops A may be defined for these plurality of bottoms. FIG. 8 shows a data table of mounting objects and coordination points included in the storage unit or the external storage device included in the information processing system 100 of the present invention.

In this way, when a plurality of mounted objects are associated with one mounted object, the priority is determined by the coordination point, the highest mounted object is determined, and the second part information associated with this mounted object is determined. May be specified. When there are a plurality of top-level mounted objects, one mounted object may be randomly determined.

Further, when the correspondence is one-to-many or multiple-to-many, the specific unit 420 extracts one or more second part information associated with the first part information, and the extracted one or more second part information. The first and second part information can be specified based on the user's selection information for the second part information.

For example, in the example of FIG. 8, all of the second part information associated with each of the plurality of bottoms is displayed on the display screen of the information processing terminal, and the user selects one second part information from the displayed information. It may be the one of choice.

The user referred to here can be a distribution user or an operator who is an actor.

As a result, the user can select the lower body with the desired bottoms from the plurality of presented bottoms, and the degree of freedom of character coordination can be increased.

Further, when a plurality of mounted objects are associated with the first site information, the second site information can be specified based on a predetermined priority of the mounted objects. FIG. 9 shows a data table of priority of attached objects provided in a storage unit included in the information processing system 100 of the present invention or an external storage device.

In the example of FIG. 9, the second part information associated with the bottoms associated with the tops having the highest priority among the plurality of mounted objects is specified. This priority can be determined based on the degree of impression given to the coordination of the character of the wearing object.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the information processing system 100 of the present invention may further include a type acquisition unit 440.

The type acquisition unit 440 acquires the type of avatar information required when the character appears in the program.

The type of avatar information can be the type of data format of avatar information or the like. The data format can be a file format called VRM, which is a file format for handling humanoid 3D avatar (3D model) data for VR applications.

Then, when the type acquired by the type acquisition unit 440 is the type of the second avatar information, the generation unit 430 can generate the second avatar information.

In the above, among the first types of avatar information, the types of data formats have been described as being the same. That is, the second avatar information is generated only by generating the information lacking in the first avatar information. Therefore, the type acquisition unit 440 confirms that the type of avatar information required is the type (data format) of the second avatar information that can be generated by the present invention, and generates the second avatar information. Can be done.

In addition, the information processing system 100 of the present invention may further include a determination unit 450.

The determination unit 450 determines whether or not the second avatar information has already been generated.

Then, as a result of the determination by the determination unit 450, when the second avatar information has not been generated yet and the type acquired by the type acquisition unit 440 is the type of the second avatar information, the generation unit The 430 can generate a second avatar information.

According to the above-described embodiment, by using VRM as an example, a user is automatically generated a whole-body avatar for studio distribution based on the avatar (upper body only) used for mobile distribution. It is possible to smoothly respond to studio distribution (for example, official programs) without the hassle of.

For example, the avatar information of other parts may be automatically determined from the avatar data of the upper body, or the avatar information candidates of other parts that match the avatar data of the upper body may be presented to the player. As a result, it is expected to be used for Vtuber applications that support both studio distribution and mobile distribution.
