Here, the paid gift is a gift that can be purchased by consuming My Coins purchased by the viewing user, and the free gift is a gift that can be obtained by the viewing user without consuming or consuming My Points. ..

As an example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the first gift is a snowball gift for displaying the snowball object SB1 representing a snowball.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 9A, the first gift is a dumpling gift for displaying the dumpling object DP1 representing the dumpling.

However, the first gift and the first object are not limited to the above example, and any shape as long as the third object can be displayed in relation to the second object described later. It may be an object of.

Then, the determination unit 430 determines whether or not the first object displayed by the object display unit 420 is displayed within a predetermined distance from the second object already displayed in the moving image.

As an example, the second object can be the same snowball object SB2 as the first object, as shown in FIG. 8 (b). That is, the first object displayed in the moving image is the second object.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8C, the second object may be an object SB3 in which a plurality of snowballs, which are the first objects, are stacked. Alternatively, the second object may be a snowball object SB4 that is larger than the first object, the snowball object, as shown in FIG. 8 (d).

In addition, all of these second objects may be displayed by the display request of the first gift. That is, as shown in FIG. 8D, when the first gift display request is made in one video, the large snowball object SB4 is displayed, and the second and subsequent times are the first. A snowball object SB1 smaller than the object corresponding to the first gift request may be displayed.

As another example, the second object can be the same dumpling object DP2 as the first object, as shown in FIG. 9B. That is, the first object displayed in the moving image is the second object.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9C, the second object may be an object DP3 in which the dumpling objects, which are the first objects, are arranged or stacked. Alternatively, as shown in the second object, FIG. 9D, it may be a pedestal object DP4 for loading the dumpling object which is the first object.

In addition, all of these second objects may be displayed by the display request of the first gift. That is, as shown in FIG. 9D, when the first gift display request is made in one moving image, the pedestal object DP4 is displayed, and the second and subsequent times are the first first gifts. The dumpling object DP1 different from the object corresponding to the gift request of is displayed. In addition, when there is a second request to display the first gift, an object with three dumplings lined up is displayed, and when there is a third request to display the first gift, an object is displayed. An object in which two dumplings are lined up is displayed, and when there is a fourth request to display the first gift, an object with one dumpling may be displayed. The number of dumplings is not particularly limited to the above example.

The information about the first object includes at least identification information that identifies the type of the first object and position information that indicates the position where the object is displayed. The first object is then displayed in the specified position with the specified type of shape based on the information about the first object. Whether or not the first object is displayed within a predetermined distance from the second object that is already displayed in the video depends on the 3D or 2D coordinates of the position where the second object is displayed and the second. It is determined by comparing the three-dimensional or two-dimensional coordinates of the position where one object is displayed.

Further, the predetermined distance is not particularly limited, but it is preferably determined in consideration of the visibility from the viewing user or the distribution user. As an example, the predetermined distance can be set based on the screen size of the moving image and the size of the object.

Further, the first object may be displayed in a manner of moving from the upper part to the lower part of the screen, from the lower part to the upper part, from the left part to the right part, from the right part to the left part, from the back part to the front part of the screen, or , It may be displayed in a mode of moving from the front to the back of the screen.

Then, when the determination unit 430 determines that the first object is displayed within a predetermined distance from the second object, the object display unit 420 sets the first object and the second object as the third object. The feature is that it is changed to and displayed.

As an example, when the first object is the snowball object SB1, the third object can be the snowman object SM as shown in FIG.

Alternatively, when the first object is the dumpling object DP1, the third object can be the rabbit object RB as shown in FIG.

When the determination unit 430 determines that the first object is not displayed within a predetermined distance from the second object, the object display unit 420 sets the first object and the second object as the third object. Without changing to, the first object shall be displayed at a predetermined position on the screen without changing the display mode until a predetermined time elapses, like a normal gift object.

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. Specifically, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to improve the motivation of viewing users for gifting.

Further, according to the above configuration, it is possible to enhance the interest of gifting and improve the motivation of the viewing user for gifting by changing the display of the gift.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12, one or more computer processors in the present disclosure may further include a measurement unit 440 and a number of times determination unit 450.

When a plurality of first objects are displayed by the object display unit 420, the measurement unit 440 determines from one or more second objects already displayed in the moving image with respect to the plurality of first objects. Measure the number of times it is determined that the object is displayed within the distance.

The number-of-times determination unit 450 determines whether or not the number of times measured by the measurement unit 440 has reached a predetermined number of times.

At this time, it is preferable that the specified number of times is set based on the screen size of the moving image. That is, it is preferable to make the specified number of times different depending on whether the screen size of the displayed moving image is vertically long or horizontally long. As an example, when the screen size is vertically long, the specified number of times is 3, whereas when the screen size is horizontally long, the specified number of times is set to 2.

Then, when the number of times determination unit 450 determines that the number of times has reached the specified number of times, the object display unit 420 can change the first object and the second object to the third object and display them. ..

Further, when the number of times determination unit 450 determines that the number of times has not reached the specified number of times, and before the number of times determination unit 450 determines that the number of times has reached the specified number of times, the object display unit 420 is the first. One object can be displayed in contact with the second object.

The position where the first object comes into contact with the second object is not particularly limited, but as an example, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the first object is stacked on the second object. It can be displayed in contact with each other in an embodiment.

Here, an example in which the specified number of times is three times will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14.

As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the second snowball object (first object) is displayed where the first snowball object (second object) SB2 is displayed by the object display unit 420. When SB1 is displayed (S20), when the determination unit 430 determines that these are within a predetermined distance (Yes in S30), the second snowball object SB1 is the first snowball object SB2. It is displayed in a display mode such that it is stacked on top (S40). Then, the measurement unit 440 updates the number of measurements, which is the determined number of times, to one (S50).

Then, the number-of-times determination unit 450 determines that the number of measurements (1 time) by the measurement unit 440 has not reached the specified number of times (3 times) (Nо in S60), and the next snowball object (first object) SB1 Wait for the display.

If the determination unit 430 determines in S30 that the snowball object SB2 and the snowball object SB1 are not within a predetermined distance (Nо in S30), the second snowball object SB1 is the first snowball. It is not displayed in a display mode such that it is stacked on the object SB2, but is displayed as a single snowball object SB1 at another position until the display end timing (S70).

Next, the object display unit 420 displays the first snowball object and the second snowball object SB2 (here, the two are combined to form the second object), and the third object is displayed. When the snowball object (first object) SB1 is displayed (S20), when the determination unit 430 determines that these are within a predetermined distance (Yes in S30), the third snowball object SB1 It is displayed in a display mode such that it is stacked on the second snowball object SB2 (S40).
