Description

The present invention relates to computer programs, information processing methods and video distribution systems.

Conventionally, there has been known a video distribution system that generates an animation of a character object based on the movement of a distribution user and delivers a video including the animation of the character object live. Such a moving image distribution system is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Document 1.

Further, in the video distribution system, it is general that the viewing user can voluntarily follow the distribution user at any time during the distribution of the video.

There is also an example in which a screen for inducing the follow-up of the distribution user of the video is automatically displayed to the viewing user who has finished watching the video. This is effective for viewers who have forgotten to follow the distributor during video distribution, but it is only annoying for viewers who are not interested in the content of the video. Therefore, it was difficult to say that the distribution user and the viewing user were properly connected.

The information processing device 500, the information processing device 50, the distribution user terminal 200, and the viewing user terminal 300 can also be configured with the same hardware configuration as in FIG. 3, except for special cases.

<Functional configuration>
Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the one or more computer processors (information processing device 400 in this example) include a distribution unit 410, a determination unit 420, a display unit 430, and a storage unit 440.

The distribution unit 410 distributes a moving image including an animation of the character object of the distribution user to the information processing terminal 200 of the viewing user.

The distribution unit 410 can live-stream a video via the video distribution platform described above.

FIG. 5 shows a top screen 600 displayed on an information processing terminal of a viewing user who has accessed the video distribution platform.

As shown in FIG. 5, the viewing user can watch the video played on the one distribution channel by selecting one distribution channel from the one or more distribution channels 610 listed on the top screen 600. can do.

Alternatively, the viewing user can view the video played on the specific distribution channel by accessing the fixed link of the specific distribution channel. Such a fixed link can be obtained by a notification from a distribution user who is following, a notification of a share sent from another user, or the like.

As shown in FIG. 5, a display column 620 for notification of a campaign or the like may be displayed on the top screen 600.

Further, in the above-mentioned video distribution platform, a list of distribution channels being distributed and a list of distribution channels scheduled to be distributed can be displayed separately by tabs. As an example, FIG. 5 shows a list of distribution channels being distributed.

The viewing user can watch the video by selecting one distribution channel on the top screen 600, but can also become a distribution user who distributes the video by himself / herself by selecting the distribution button 630.

Then, when the viewing user and the distribution user of the distribution channel that the viewing user is viewing are not associated with each other, the determination unit 420 determines that the action of the viewing user on the video is a specific condition. Judge whether or not the above is satisfied.

As an example, the predetermined association can be performed when the viewing user is following the distribution user. This "follow" is to connect with other users so that you can list other users you follow on your own My Page and receive notifications of distributions of other users you follow. It will be.

FIG. 6 is an example showing a screen of a moving image distributed by a distribution user that the viewing user has not yet followed, and a follow button 710 for following the distribution user is displayed on the screen 700.

On the other hand, FIG. 7 is an example showing a screen of a moving image distributed by a distribution user already being followed by the viewing user, and the following button 760 is displayed on the screen 750. When the following button 760 is selected, the association is canceled and the follow button 710 is displayed again.

Note that this "follow" may be performed from the viewing user to the viewing user, from the distribution user to the viewing user, and from the distribution user to the distribution user. However, followers are managed as one-way associations, and reverse associations are managed separately as followers.

Then, the action of the viewing user on the video can be, for example, viewing the video, posting a comment, giving a gift (gifting), posting an evaluation, or the like.

In FIG. 6, a comment can be posted by inputting text in the comment posting field 720 and pressing the send button 721. In addition, a gift list is displayed by pressing the gift button 730, and a designated gift can be thrown by selection. In addition, the evaluation can be posted by pressing the like button 740. It should be noted that pressing a button includes selecting a button displayed on the screen by tapping or the like.

In addition, the action of the viewing user on the video is to share the video to an external service, SNS (Social Networking Service), and save the distribution screen including the character object of the distribution user as a still image (screenshot). That, the saved still image may be shared to the SNS, and the like.

In FIG. 6, a list of SNSs that can be shared is displayed by pressing the share button 770, and a fixed link can be transmitted to a designated location of the SNS designated by selection. In addition, the still image can be saved by pressing the screenshot button 780. Further, as for the still image, the shareable SNS list is displayed by pressing the screenshot button 780, and the still image can be transmitted to the specified location of the specified SNS by selection.

Details of these actions will be described later.

As an example, the determination by the determination unit 420 may be made when the viewing user reaches a predetermined time for viewing the moving image, or when there is a viewing end request described later. It may be done in. The viewing end request can be made by selecting the viewing end button 790 shown in FIG.

Further, as another embodiment, the determination unit 420 determines whether or not a predetermined association is made between the viewing user and the distribution user when the action of the viewing user on the video satisfies a specific condition. May be judged.

Then, the specific condition can be, for example, a condition that the action of the viewing user on the video indicates that the viewing user is interested in the distribution user. As an example, a specific condition is that if the action is to watch a video, the viewing time exceeds a predetermined time.

When the determination unit 420 determines that the action of the viewing user on the video satisfies a specific condition, the display unit 430 makes a predetermined association with the distribution user on the information processing terminal of the viewing user. Display a screen asking for input of whether or not.

As shown in FIG. 8, the screen asking for input as to whether or not to perform a predetermined association with the distribution user includes a follow button 810 for following the distribution user and a screen without following or after following. The screen 800 can include a close button 820 for closing.

When the viewing user selects the follow button 810 for following, the follow button 810 changes to the following button 830 indicating the following state as shown in FIG.

When the viewing user selects the close button 820, the screen transitions to the top screen 600 of the video distribution platform shown in FIG.

When the storage unit 440 receives an input from the viewing user to the effect that a predetermined association is to be performed, the storage unit 440 associates the viewing user with the distribution user and stores the viewing user.

According to the above configuration, it is possible to provide a technical improvement that solves or alleviates at least a part of the problems of the prior art described above. Further, according to the above configuration, the distribution user and the viewing user can be appropriately connected.

Further, according to the above configuration, the information processing terminal of the viewing user is requested to input whether or not to make a predetermined association with the distribution user only when the action on the video satisfies a specific condition. Is displayed. Therefore, the above screen is not displayed to the viewing user whose action on the moving image does not satisfy a specific condition.

The act of performing an action on the video can be used as an index for measuring the degree of interest of the viewing user in the distribution user and the video.

Therefore, displaying the screen for following the distribution user only to the user with a high degree of interest and not displaying the screen for the user with a low degree of interest means that the distribution user and the viewing user are affected. It is effective for connecting properly.

Further, the determination unit 420 can make the above determination when the viewing end request for the moving image is received from the viewing user.

The viewing end request can be transmitted by pressing the viewing end button 790 shown in FIG.

According to such a configuration, it is possible to make a viewing user who wants to end the viewing in the middle without waiting for the end of the distribution of the video to effectively consider the follow-up of the distribution user even though the action is performed on the video. .. Since such a viewing user is often a person who simply forgets to follow during video distribution, it becomes possible to effectively connect with the distribution user.

When the action on the moving image is the viewing of the moving image by the viewing user, the determination unit 420 can determine whether or not the viewing exceeds a predetermined time.

The predetermined time can be, for example, about 15 minutes, but is not limited to the time required.

According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the viewing user who is determined to be interested in the distribution user effectively consider the follow-up of the distribution user.

The predetermined viewing time is estimated to be the viewing time that can be estimated to be interested in the distribution user based on the past viewing time of the viewing user, and the estimated viewing time is used as the predetermined viewing time for each viewing user. It may be set.

When the action on the video is a comment posting on the video of the viewing user, the determination unit 420 can determine whether or not the comment posting exceeds a predetermined number of times.

The predetermined number of times can be set to one as an example, but is not limited to such a number of times.

According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the viewing user who is determined to be interested in the distribution user effectively consider the follow-up of the distribution user.

The number of comment postings may be the number of comment postings including a specific word. This is because a comment containing a specific word (for example, "cute", "like", etc.) can be presumed to be a comment that is of interest to the distribution user. The detection of such a specific word can be realized by the detection unit included in the moving image distribution system of the present invention.

When the action on the video is an evaluation post to the video of the viewing user, the determination unit 420 can determine whether or not the evaluation post exceeds a predetermined number of times.

The evaluation post is posted by pressing the like button 740 shown in FIG. 6, and indicates a favorable evaluation given to the moving image by the viewing user.

The predetermined number of times can be set to one as an example, but is not limited to such a number of times.

According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the viewing user who is determined to be interested in the distribution user effectively consider the follow-up of the distribution user.

The predetermined number of times is estimated based on the number of past evaluation posts of the viewing user, and the estimated number of times is set as the predetermined number of times for each viewing user. It may be the one to do.

When the action for the moving image is the giving to the moving image of the viewing user, the determination unit 420 can determine whether or not the giving is exceeding a predetermined number of times.

The predetermined number of times can be set to one as an example, but is not limited to such a number of times.

According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the viewing user who is determined to be interested in the distribution user effectively consider the follow-up of the distribution user.

When the action on the video is the gifting to the video of the viewing user, the determination unit 420 can determine whether or not the gifting exceeds a predetermined amount.

Here, the types of gifts thrown by the above gifting will be described.

In the moving image distributed according to the embodiment of the present invention, gifts that can be thrown by the viewing user include free gifts and paid gifts.

A paid gift is a gift that can be purchased with a coin (C), and as an example, one coin can be purchased for 1 yen.

Free gifts are gifts that can be exchanged for points (PT), and these points are given as an example when downloading a dedicated application, logging in, watching a video, or at an event.

It should be noted that a predetermined number of points may be given when viewing a moving image, provided that the viewing of one moving image is continued for a predetermined time or longer. As an example, if one moving image is viewed for 60 seconds or longer, 10 PT of points can be given. In addition, this point can be awarded up to 10 times in a day, that is, up to 1000 PT.

The predetermined amount referred to here may be the total value of either one of the above coins and points, or may be the total value of both.

Further, when it can be evaluated that the points are more rare than the coins, the predetermined amount of coins may be higher than the predetermined amount of points.

If the determination unit 420 determines that at least one of these specific conditions is satisfied, the display unit 430 can display the above screen.

The determination unit 420 further determines whether or not the video distribution has exceeded the predetermined time, and the display unit 430 determines by the determination unit 420 that the video distribution exceeds the predetermined time, and the video is viewed. When it is determined that the user's action on the video meets certain conditions, a screen for following can be displayed. Alternatively, these conditions may be combined to form a specific condition.

The predetermined time can be 10 minutes as an example, but is not limited to this.

As described above, in the case of a moving image having an extremely short delivery time, the above screen is not displayed even if the action of the viewing user on the moving image satisfies a specific condition.

According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the viewing user from being guided to follow the distribution user who distributed the low-quality video.

Subsequently, a case where the distribution unit 410 distributes one moving image including animations of character objects of two or more distribution users to the information processing terminal of the viewing user will be described.

As shown in FIG. 10, one video containing animations of character objects of two or more distribution users means that a character object of one distribution user and a character object of another distribution user co-star in one video. It shall mean a video (hereinafter referred to as "co-starring video").

FIG. 10 is an example of a screen displaying a moving image in which the character object A and the character object B co-star.

At this time, when the viewing user and at least one distribution user of the two or more distribution users are not associated with each other, the determination unit 420 sets a specific condition for the action of the viewing user on the video. Determine if it meets or not.

Then, when the determination unit 420 determines that the action of the viewing user on the moving image satisfies a specific condition, the display unit 430 does not make a predetermined association with the information processing terminal of the viewing user. Display a screen asking for input as to whether or not to make a predetermined association with the distribution user.

According to the above configuration, an appropriate follow guidance screen can be displayed even in the case of a co-starring video.

In addition, when there are two or more distribution users who are not associated with each other, the determination unit 420 determines which distribution user the action of the viewing user for the video is associated with. It is possible to determine whether or not the viewing user's action on the video meets a specific condition.

That is, the viewing user can associate the action on the moving image with one of the distribution users. Specifically, when the action is gifting, the gifting can be performed by designating the delivery user who wants to give the gift.

Then, when the determination unit 420 determines that the action of the viewing user on the moving image satisfies a specific condition, the display unit 430 is a distribution user whose action is associated with the information processing terminal of the viewing user. It is possible to preferentially display a screen asking for input as to whether or not to make a predetermined association with.

The preferential display is, for example, to display the screen of the distribution user to which the action is associated first, or to make it stand out by changing the display mode even if it is displayed at the same time.

When both actions are associated with each other, the weights of the associated actions are compared to determine which distribution user is prioritized. This weight can be determined, for example, by the degree of satisfaction of a specific condition.

Subsequently, an example of the information processing method according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

As shown in FIG. 11, the information processing method of the present invention is an information processing method in a video distribution system that distributes a moving image including an animation of a character object generated based on a movement of a distribution user, and is one or a plurality of information processing methods. The computer processor is made to execute the distribution step S110, the determination step S120, the display step S130, and the storage step S140.

The distribution step S110 distributes a moving image including an animation of the character object of the distribution user to the information processing terminal of the viewing user. The distribution step S110 can be executed by the distribution unit 410 described above.

The determination step S120 determines whether or not the action of the viewing user on the moving image satisfies a specific condition when a predetermined association is not made between the viewing user and the distribution user. The determination step S120 can be executed by the determination unit 420 described above.

In the display step S130, when it is determined in the determination step that the action of the viewing user on the video satisfies a specific condition, whether or not the information processing terminal of the viewing user is associated with the distribution user. Display the screen asking for the input. Such display step S130 can be executed by the display unit 430 described above.

The storage step S140 stores the viewing user in association with the distribution user when the input to the effect that the predetermined association is performed is received from the viewing user. Such a storage step S140 can be executed by the storage unit 440 described above.

According to the above configuration, it is possible to provide a technical improvement that solves or alleviates at least a part of the problems of the prior art described above. Further, according to the above configuration, the distribution user and the viewing user can be appropriately connected.

Finally, the computer program of the present invention will be described.

The computer program of the present invention is a computer program for distributing a moving image including an animation of a character object generated based on a movement of a distribution user, and has a distribution function and a judgment function to one or more computer processors. , Display function and memory function are executed.

The distribution function distributes a moving image including an animation of the character object of the distribution user to the information processing terminal of the viewing user.

The determination function determines whether or not the action of the viewing user on the video satisfies a specific condition when a predetermined association is not made between the viewing user and the distribution user.

The display function determines whether or not the information processing terminal of the viewing user is associated with the distribution user when the judgment function determines that the action on the video of the viewing user satisfies a specific condition.
