In addition, by pressing the collaboration button 213, it is possible to request the collaboration distribution from the distribution user. Collaboration distribution means that the character object of the viewing user appears in the distribution video of the distribution user.

Further, the viewing end request can be transmitted by pressing the viewing end button 214.

The determination unit 420 determines whether or not the viewing user terminal has requested the display of the first gift.

As an example, the determination unit 420 can determine that the display request has been made when the reception unit (not shown) receives the display request for the first gift transmitted from the viewing user terminal 200.

As mentioned above, the display request can include gift object information. The gift object information includes at least gift object identification information that identifies the type of gift object and location information that indicates where the gift object is displayed.

As an example, the first gift is selected by the viewing user from the list of gifts displayed on the viewing user terminal 200 by pressing the gift button 208 shown in FIG. 6, and a display request is made.

FIG. 7 shows an example of a screen 215 showing a list of gifts displayed on the viewing user terminal 200. As shown in FIG. 7, gifts can be displayed separately by category (free gifts, paid gifts, accessories, cheering goods, appeals, varieties, etc.).

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

The first gift in the present disclosure will be described below assuming that it is the above-mentioned paid gift.

The identification unit 430 specifies the user information represented by the object corresponding to the first gift to be displayed in the moving image when the determination unit 420 determines that the display request has been made.

The user information can be information that can identify the distribution user and / or information that can identify the viewing user corresponding to the viewing user terminal that has made the display request.

The information that can identify the distribution user can be the name of the character object of the distribution user, an icon, or the like. It is assumed that the icon referred to here includes a profile image of a character object prepared in advance.

The information that can identify the viewing user may be the name of the character object of the viewing user, an icon, or the like. It is assumed that the icon referred to here includes a profile image of a character object prepared in advance.

The object display unit 440 causes the moving image to display an object representing the user information specified by the specific unit 430 as the first object.

The method of expressing the user information in the object is not particularly limited, but as an example, the method of superimposing the user information on the base object prepared in advance and the method of expressing the user information by the generation unit (not shown) are used. User information can be represented in an object by a method of creating an object including the object.

According to the above configuration, it is possible to provide a technical improvement that solves or alleviates at least a part of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.

Specifically, by expressing the user information in the object, it becomes clear to whom the gift was given and / or from whom the gift was given.

In the past, who gave the gift is generally displayed as text in the comment field in the video, so the difference between the display timing of the comment and the display timing of the gift object is displayed. Depending on the number of gift objects, it was unclear who gave the gift.

On the other hand, as in the invention of the present disclosure, by displaying information that can identify the viewing user who performed the gift on the object, it is possible to clarify on the video who the gift was given by. ..

In particular, when the screen is small and the amount of information that can be displayed is limited, such as a mobile device such as a smartphone, even if the comment field is hidden, it is possible to clearly recognize who gave the gift.

Further, as in the invention of the present disclosure, displaying the information that can identify the distribution user on the object creates a special feeling as if the gift is exclusively for the character object appearing in the video. be able to.

These effects increase the satisfaction of the viewing user who has performed the gifting, and improve the motivation of the viewing user for the gifting. Then, by increasing the gifting, it is possible to improve the distribution motivation of the distribution user.

As described above, the user information can be information that can identify the distribution user.

8 to 10 are images of the first object representing the name of the character object of the distribution user. In the figure, it is assumed that the name of the character object of the distribution user is represented in the part indicated by "XXX".

Image storage can also be restricted to a plurality of viewing user terminals.

That is, only the viewing user terminal that has given the first gift is allowed to save the still image of the moving image, and the viewing user terminal that has not given the first gift is not allowed to save the still image of the moving image.

Such a configuration can be realized by hiding the screenshot button 212 shown in FIG. 6 or limiting the use of the screenshot function of the viewing user terminal.

The object display unit 440 can further count down the period until the display of the first object is completed.

Specifically, the time until the end of the display time of the first preset object is counted down and displayed.

When the information indicating the viewing user corresponding to the plurality of viewing user terminals is information that can identify the viewing user, the display time is further from the at least one viewing user terminal corresponding to the viewing user who made the display request. It may be extended when there is a display request.

When the information indicating the viewing user corresponding to the plurality of viewing user terminals is not the information that can identify the viewing user, the display time is the viewing user who made the display request or at least one viewing user terminal which did not make the display request. It may be extended if there is a further display request from.

With such a configuration, it is possible to further improve the viewer's willingness to give gifts in order to extend the display time of the first object.

Further, this countdown display can also be displayed on the viewing user terminal in which the display of the first object or the storage of the still image is restricted by the restriction unit 460.

With such a configuration, it is possible to notify the viewing user whose display of the first object is restricted that the first object is displayed. Then, by encouraging the gifting of the first gift before the end of the display time and presenting that the restriction is lifted by this, it is possible to further improve the gifting motivation of the viewing user. ..
